Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Yan Jiekuang smiled and said, "Your second brother is easy to deal with. At most, you can treat him to a few more meals." Then he asked, "Are grandpa and the others okay?!"

"Everything is fine! My eldest brother came back a few days ago. Thanks to the books you gave him last time. He was assigned to Sijiu City this time. Now he is closer to home, and he and sister-in-law don't have to live apart. You don't know, Xia Xia and Guodong treated him like a stranger. My mother told me about it, and I felt a little sad." Su Zihui couldn't help but shed tears as she spoke.

Yan Jiekuang quickly took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Su Zihui. Su Zihui took the handkerchief, wiped her tears, and asked, "How are the factories and restaurants doing now?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "The factory will be completed soon. The next step is to customize the machine for frying nuts. This machine is not difficult to make. There are so many factories in Sijiu City that any one can make it. The restaurant will be fine with the Lou family and Brother Zhuzi watching over it. I will keep an eye on the factory myself."

Su Zihui continued, "I'm really useless. I can't help you with anything."

Yan Jiekuang smiled and replied: "Who said you can't help me?! You can help me take care of the house, which is the biggest help I can do."

After resting at home for two days, Yan Jiekuang went out with the drawings of the roasted nuts machine. Yan Jiekuang did not go to the steel mill to find someone to customize the machine. Instead, he went to the factory introduced by Su Zilong. Thirty machines cost Yan Jiekuang 10,000 yuan. But the place was pretty good. In addition to the normal machines, they also gave Yan Jiekuang a lot of accessories.

Just after August 1st, the factory was completed. The machines were delivered and all installed. Yan Jiekuang took advantage of the fact that no one was at the factory and filled the two warehouses with raw peanuts and raw melon seeds. Then Yan Jiekuang went to the street office again.

"Young man, who are you looking for?!" the gatekeeper saw Yan Jiekuang and blocked his way and asked.

Yan Jiekuang replied: "I am the manager of the Hong Kong-owned Wan Chai Roasted Nuts Company. I came to the director of the subdistrict office to ask him to help me recruit some workers."

When the old man heard that Yan Jiekuang was here to recruit people, his eyes lit up and he said hurriedly, "Young man, the director's office is in the east wing of the middle courtyard. He is there right now. Come in quickly!"

"Thank you, uncle!" Yan Jiekuang replied and walked into the gate of the street office.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!" Yan Jiekuang walked to the door of the east wing and knocked on it.

"Come in!" Not long after, a middle-aged woman's voice came from inside.

Yan Jiekuang pushed the door open and walked into the office. The middle-aged woman asked, "Young man, who are you? What do you want to talk to me about?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "Hello! My name is Yan and I'm the manager of the newly opened Hong Kong-funded Wan Chai Roasted Nuts Company on Qianmen Street. I came here today to trouble you to recruit some workers for me."

The middle-aged woman said, "What a coincidence! We were a family five hundred years ago. My last name is Yan too, so you can call me Aunt Yan! Little Yan, how many people do you think your factory needs to recruit?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "Sixty stir-fry workers, ten logistics staff, mainly responsible for the storage and outbound delivery, and thirty salesmen. Our factory mainly produces roasted peanuts, melon seeds, chestnuts and other snacks."

Aunt Yan thought about it for a moment and asked, "Are there any requirements for men and women?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "There is no requirement for gender. But it is better for both to have some education. After all, the factory has just opened and many positions are short of people."

"I understand!" Aunt Yan replied, and then asked, "I want to ask, what are the salaries and benefits at your factory?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "It's all calculated at one yuan a day. If you work 26 days a month, it's considered full attendance. You can get 30 yuan in salary, plus a 5 yuan bonus. The benefits for festivals are calculated separately. If your family has difficulty in housing, the factory provides single dormitories. In addition, the company also provides a meal."

Aunt Yan said, "It seems that the treatment in your factory is quite good."

Yan Jiekuang said: "Our factory is people-oriented. Whether the factory can make money depends entirely on the workers. If we don't treat the workers well, who will help us work in the future?!"

Aunt Yan said, "I will notify the people today and ask them to report to your factory tomorrow morning."

"Okay! Thank you for your help! Also, ask each of them to bring two one-inch bare-head photos. They will be needed for their employment procedures." After saying that, Yan Jiekuang said goodbye and left.

After Aunt Yan sent Yan Jiekuang out, the pressure on her shoulders was instantly relieved. Jiang Sheng, who was in charge of public security, saw Director Yan smiling and asked curiously, "Aunt Yan, what makes you so happy?!"

Aunt Yan said, "A new factory has opened on Qianmen Street. It seems to be a Hong Kong-funded company. They want to hire a hundred people at once. It will solve the problem of all the unemployed people in our area."

Jiang Sheng said: "This is really a good thing. Now that those people have jobs, the public security in our area will be much better. It seems that I can sleep well too."

Aunt Yan said, "There is no time to lose. I will send someone to inform them to report to the factory tomorrow."

After Yan Jiekuang left the subdistrict office, he went back to the printing factory and brought the plastic bags that had been ordered a while ago to the factory. He then took out more than a dozen vacuum laminators and electronic scales from the space before leaving the factory.

The next morning, after a burst of firecrackers, Yan Jiekuang pushed open the factory door. Not long after, people from the street office came with the recruited workers. Yan Jiekuang arranged these people to the finished product warehouse. Because there is no production yet, the finished product warehouse is empty. Yan Jiekuang stood in front, looking at the dark crowd below, and said: "Let me introduce myself. My last name is Yan! My name is Yan Jiekuang. I am the manager of the Hong Kong-funded Wan Chai Roasted Nuts Company. From now on, you are under my management. I have a set of papers in my hand. This set of papers is not an exam paper, but through this paper, we will judge which position you are suitable for. After all, we don’t know each other. I can’t make a random judgment after chatting with you for a few words. This is unfair to everyone."

After hearing what Yan Jiekuang said, the people below started to talk among themselves. After about three or four minutes, Yan Jiekuang handed out the papers and pencils. Not long after, everyone was lying on the makeshift tables made from the wooden boxes of the roasting machine and started to write the papers.

The questions were only on two pages, front and back, and they were all multiple choice and true/false questions, so they were done very quickly. In just seven or eight minutes, the test was all done. In front of everyone present, Yan Jiekuang took out the grading criteria and began to grade the test papers.

After working for more than an hour, Yan Jiekuang finally graded all the papers. Yan Jiekuang said, "I will first report the list of the production team. Those whose names are heard, please come up to receive the entry form, go to the office at the door, go through the entry procedures, and receive work clothes, work permits, and labor protection supplies."

In order to open the store smoothly today, not only did Su Zihui come to help, but Lou Xiaoe also personally brought ten people from Gangcheng to help. Yan Jiekuang read out a name, and a person came up and left the warehouse with an entry form. It was not until about 10:30 in the morning that all the entry procedures for the 100 people were completed.

Because it was the first day of business, the canteen had not yet recruited a suitable cook, so He Yuzhu's apprentice Ma Hua was borrowed to take over temporarily for a day. At 11 o'clock in the morning, lunch was officially served. After lunch, Yan Jiekuang personally taught the production team how to fry melon seeds and peanuts.
