slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 541
Cang Hai pricked up his ears and listened to a few words, and then he knew why the two were arguing, because this time can be said to be the time to grab the fruit.

From mid-October to late October at the latest, frost and snow began to enter around Sijiaping Village. If the fruits were not picked before the frost and snow fell, the fruits hanging on the trees would be finished after just one frost. , The losses caused may be hundreds of thousands to millions.

Picking fruits is different from picking watermelons. Watermelons are large in quality but low in quantity, but the opposite is true for fruits, each of which is small in quality but large in quantity.

There is no good picking machine for this thing, so the number of people who need to pick it will increase. It is not something that these few people in the village can solve. .

But now, no matter whether it is the village or the forest farm, the kiwi fruit and some apples planted are not enough for 200 people to pick within a month. Not to mention the forest farm, only the village has nearly 9000 mu of orchards. , mainly kiwi fruit and cherries, supplemented by apples and pears.

The orchards in the forest farm are twice as large as those in the village, and the manpower needed for two operations is predictable.Guan Jian is that nine out of ten trees in the garden are big trees, almost one or two times taller than normal fruit trees.

Now the reason for the quarrel between the two is about the manpower. Both of them wanted to pick their own garden first, and then concentrate on picking other's, so there was a conflict between the two.

Hu Shijie thought that the orchards in the village were relatively small, so he should pick his own first, while Wen Yidao thought that since the forest farm paid more hire money, of course he should pick his own garden first.

After listening for a while, Cang Hai couldn't bear to listen anymore, turned around and walked up to the two of them: "What are you two arguing about, why don't you hire more people?"

Wen Yiyi and Hu Shijie turned their heads at the same time, and said in unison: "Hire more people. Tell me where to hire people. We all went to the county to hire people. If you pay 150 yuan a day, you can't hire anyone!"

After hearing this, Cang Hai said, "You can't hire someone for 150 yuan?"

Cang Hai expressed some doubts, 150 yuan a day is really a lot for the people in the county.If you can't hire someone with this kind of salary, there must be something wrong, or else there will definitely be someone coming to make money from those women who are dancing in the square in the county town.

So he asked: "Did you find some foremen?"

Wen Yiyi took a look at Cang Hai: "You think we are stupider than you, don't you? If you want someone to work, you can not find a foreman."

Therefore, the foreman is not necessarily a small boss on the construction site. Some people organize seven or eight or a dozen individuals to work. The foreman draws a certain percentage of the income of these people. Generally speaking, the minimum is 30.00%, and the maximum It can even reach 60.00%.

In the old society, these people were probably called Yaren, but now they are called foremen. Anyway, they are people who earn other people's hard-earned money.

"Then what?" Cang Hai asked.

"I can't find suitable people. It can be said that except for the cunning, the lazy, the hard-working people are all here," Hu Shijie said.

Cang Hai said: "Then don't look for it in the county, go directly to the next county to look for it, it's really impossible to publish an advertisement, and you don't have the money to make an advertisement on the TV station? Just skip these idiots, you will pay 150 yuan a day Do you feel like you can’t recruit people?”

After hearing Cang Hai's words, Wen Yiyi and Hu Shijie patted their thighs at the same time: "Why did we forget this trick!"

The two felt that Cang Hai’s method was good. Originally, the two paid a lot of wages, but they all followed the path of scumbags. Most of the picking workers got half of it, that is, 80 or [-] yuan a day. As for the wages, half of the money was taken away by the idiots, which made many people feel bad.

Now using Cang Hai's method, it will divert the barrier of Yaren, and there must be many people who are willing to come.

But soon Hu Shijie became a little worried: "But you may have some opinions!"

Cang Hai glanced at Hu Shijie: "If you make trouble, let them make trouble. Our Sijiaping Village is still afraid of people making trouble? Moreover, these people are not considered as moths of society, but also exploiters, and it is shameful to make money by relying on unequal information. !"

Cang Hai doesn't care about Yaren's life and death, he feels that what the two of them need are workers, not Yaren.

Wen Yiyi thought for a while and said, "Then let's do it like this!"

After finishing speaking, Wen Yiyi said to Hu Shijie: "We used to be too kind to the babes. These days, I'm tired of coaxing one by one. Starting today, we will directly send wages to every employee!"

Cang Hai heard what Wen Yiyi said, and said with a smile: "That really forced these people to make trouble."

"Come on, it's just time to deal with these people!" Wen Yiyi said with a smile.

When they unified their thinking, Cang Hai started to do his own work, while Wen Yiyi and Hu Shijie got together again to figure out how to attract workers to come to pick the fruit.

After the matter was settled, Wen Yiyi stayed in the village for one night and then returned to the forest farm.

Sijiaping Village has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the forest farm has naturally changed, but the traffic is much worse than that of Sijiaping Village. The roads in Sijiaping Village have been replaced with asphalt roads, and the forest farm is still It's an old dirt road, but at the beginning of spring this year, some sand and gravel were placed on it to solidify the road surface.

The original few cave dwellings have now become about 200, and the number of employees has grown from a few dozen at the beginning to more than [-] now. Some basic living facilities have also been established one after another, such as water towers, boilers, etc. A few acres of greenhouses were built next to it, and more than a dozen native pigs were raised, which solved the problem of eating vegetables and meat in the forest farm.

The ground in front of the cave is also paved with cement, so that it doesn't need to rain and the surroundings will be full of potholes. In short, the conditions of the forest farm are much better than before.

Wen Yidao now has his own dedicated office, although it is not too luxurious, but it also has a boss's desk and a set of sofas, which is quite decent.

Back in his office, Wen Yiyi had just made tea when he heard someone knocking on his door hastily outside.

Boom boom boom!
"Come in!"

Wen Yi dragged out his voice.

Before Wen Yiyi could finish his words, the door of the office was pushed open, and seven or eight people walked in from the outside at once. Some of these people were in their 50s and 30s, and some were in their [-]s and [-]s. They all looked angry, as if It's like eating people.

Wen Yiyi had long expected that these people would come today, and knew that he had touched the interests of these people, but Wen Yiyi was not afraid, because in the entire county, as long as Wen Yiyi didn't provoke others, there were really few people who could provoke them. to his head.

In Cang Hai's words, we don't cause trouble, but we won't be afraid of trouble, so these people who came today are all paper tigers in Wen Yiyi's eyes, and they don't even look like paper tigers.

"Mr. Wen, isn't it a bit dishonest for you to do this?" A man in his forties, with a tattoo on his neck, and with a fierce expression on his face, started to attack Wen Yiyi as soon as he came in.

Wen Yiyi just looked up at him, then opened his mouth and asked, "Mr. Xu, what are you talking about?"

"Why do you send the money directly to the workers? We have agreed that we will collect the wages of these people and then distribute them to everyone. Now you are doing it like this. It is very difficult for us to do it. Everyone said Right?" said the rough man.

"Yep!"

Immediately there was a burst of echoing around.

Wen Yiyi glanced at the people around him: "How many days have you brought people here? Is there any newcomers here during this time? No, I asked you to work hard, but you kept delaying me over and over again. , what's the matter, my money is so easy to earn?"

Hearing Wen Yiyi's question, the people around fell silent.

Wen Yiyi sneered, reached out and pointed at the people around him, and started talking one by one. Wen Yiyi is a person who concentrates on his work. He is familiar with this matter. The number of days to receive rebates.

After finishing speaking, Wen Yiyi said: "The least one of you has earned nearly [-] yuan, why are you planning to spend this money for a lifetime? Do you really think that others are your parents' workers?"

"What are you talking about? What do you mean by continuing to earn this money? This is what we deserve!" A man in his thirties said dissatisfiedly.

Wen Yiyi laughed and said, "I don't know if you deserve it or not, but starting today, the forestry farm's money will only be sent to the workers. If you want the money, you can directly ask the employees you brought. It is your ability to come, otherwise it has nothing to do with our forest farm!"

"No! You have to keep your promise as we agreed!"

"Didn't I give you money? Didn't I let you make money? You can't be too greedy!" Wen Yiyi said lightly.

Wen Yiyi and Hu Shige were thinking about the way of Yaren earlier, because the people here are all experienced hands, more or less have done the work, but now the pots are human hands, and there is no skill in picking fruits. Content, as long as it is hardworking and willing to work, so after being reminded by Cang Hai, Wen Yiyi and Hu Shijie decided to change their minds and directly put up a job advertisement on the TV station.

As for the management of the Yaren, can they be replaced by their own workers? The villagers of Sijiaping Village can also use it. In short, the Yaren don’t care about it now. Well, anyway, Wen Yiyi is determined to change the status quo.

"You can't say that, Mr. Wen, you can't do anything wrong!"

The one surnamed Xu said viciously.

Wen Yiyi laughed and said, "Mr. Xu, you probably forgot where this is. This is my forest farm. Are you threatening me here?"

"I didn't threaten you, I just reminded you that you can be regarded as dragging your family, so don't do things so badly."

Wen Yiyi raised his head and looked at this person coldly, and then said lightly: "What's the matter, don't you want to live a good life? Come here to play tricks on me?"

After finishing speaking, Wen Yiyi glanced at everyone in the room, and at the same time opened his mouth and said: "I used to get along well with everyone, and I can be considered as a face for everyone, but then again, if you want to play tricks on me, you Do you feel qualified?"

What Wen Yiyi said made everyone feel cold.

Many clever people came to their senses. The one in front of them was on China Television News. Although it is not a set of 07:30, it is enough to crush ordinary people. Any such person only needs to It's not too twisted, the county will protect such a person, not to mention that this man with the surname Wen has a good relationship with the heads of the county. Than.

The one surnamed Xu didn't care about these things, and snorted at Wen Yiyi: "I, Xu Wei, don't mess around for a day or two, I advise you to think it through...".

After hearing this, Wen Yiyi finally couldn't help it anymore, and lightly tapped the table with his knuckles: "I wonder if you've heard of some popular sentences recently?"

"what?"

Wen Yiyi said: "Giving a lot of face, sometimes even a dog thinks he is a lion!"

"you!"

The person surnamed Xu was furious when he heard this, and pointed at Wen Yiyi.

With a cold face, Wen Yiyi slapped the table and stood up: "What's the matter, did I say something wrong? You, Xu Wei, are just a little bastard, and you deserve to stand here and show off your power to me? It's a bit ugly, what the hell? It’s just a broker, who only brings a dozen or so people to make ends meet, and they are still slapping their teeth in my office, ask yourself if you are worthy?”
