The Light of Domestic Products: The whole world begs me to sell

Chapter 224 Hope
The words of Xu Long from the administrative department made Ding Jian a little curious.

Burundi, a small country, does not have many foreign companies to build factories. Even if the government wants to promote economic development and provides various tax exemption policies, the attraction of foreign investment is still very low.

The main reason is that Burundi is a landlocked country with no port and inconvenient transportation, and there are not many mines in the territory.

The lack of foreign capital to invest and build factories has also made the people here very closed. Except for Bujumbura, a capital city with a population of one million, there are some sporadic small factories and a few foreigners. There are almost no factories in other cities, and they are all agricultural. Mainly.

Like Kaluzi, the third largest city where the Phoenix Industrial Base is located, the locals have never even seen a foreigner, let alone work in a factory of Yan people.

and so.

After the preliminary completion of the Phoenix Industrial Base and the commissioning and production of bicycle and tricycle production lines, it was discovered that recruitment was not as easy as imagined.

Many locals are waiting and watching, entering a factory run by Yan people to work, this is still a little scary for the locals in these remote cities.

Fortunately, under the strong promotion of local officials, nearly a hundred locals were finally organized to apply for the job, and finally Phoenix left more than [-] workers.

Ding Jian is aware of these situations, and the difficulty of recruiting people is also a headache that many companies encounter when setting up factories abroad.

He couldn't believe it. It's only been half a month. Could it be that the Phoenix Group has found a solution?
With doubts, Huang Weichen and Ding Jian bought something from the supermarket, and went to the gate of the industrial base together with Xu Long from the administration department.

The three of them soon arrived at the recruitment site. At this time, there were already two long lines lined up in an open space at the gate of the industrial base, and the other end of the line even went outside the gate of the base.

From time to time there were noisy voices in the team. Two local security guards were wearing Phoenix security uniforms and holding batons in their hands. The whole recruitment site was orderly.

Ding Jian was surprised. He didn't expect the locals nearby to be really enlightened. A rough calculation of the crowd lined up showed that there were at least dozens of people.

Xu Long at the side glanced at Ding Jian proudly:
"Old Ding, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"We haven't started working here for a few days, and the surrounding villages have spread the word that coming to work in Phoenix, we not only get paid, but also have two meals a day."

"These farmers around have never seen the world, and they still don't believe us when we talk about wages with them, but the first batch of employees have been working for more than a week, and when they go back, they say that they can have two meals a day for free. You can see how enthusiastic they are. up."

After Xu Long finished speaking, he was about to brag to Ding Jian when he heard someone waving at him from the recruitment office not far away:
"Old Xu, come here, this man said he can assemble bicycles, you can take him directly to the factory to have a try."

As soon as Xu Long heard the old Liu from the recruiting office calling him, he ignored Ding Jian and Huang Weichen, and ran away after answering.

"Hey, Old Liu, here we come..."

……

Tasian.

Tasian is an ordinary bicycle porter.

His hometown is in a small village under Burundi's third largest city, Kaluzi. The village has a small population. On weekdays, his job is to transport bananas from several nearby villages to the big city of Kaluzi.

Sometimes when business is not good, he will also use bicycles to pull people in the city to subsidize some households.

At the age of 23, he already has a wife and two children to support. Although the work of transporting hundreds of catties of bananas every day is tiring and life-threatening, he has never considered changing jobs.

Although this job can only allow him to barely support his family, such a heavy job has already made many people in the same village envious.

but.

Only he knows in his heart that the job of a bicycle transporter has no future, and his fate may be like that of a bicycle transporter in the same village, who will leave forever due to a car accident one day...

He thought about changing, but the heavy pressure of life made him unable to change.

Until one day, Tasien heard from his wife that a group of Yan people came from near the village, and they planned to open factories near the village and recruit local people to work.

The factory is no stranger to Tasien, who has been transporting palm fruit and bananas to an oil refinery and banana winery in Kaluzi City all year round.

The oil refinery in the city is slightly larger, but even the owner of the larger palm oil refinery hired two small workers, and at most called a few people to help temporarily during busy weekdays.

Moreover, the wages given by the boss to the workers are very low, and they even beat the workers occasionally.

and so.

When he heard for the first time that Yan Guojian was recruiting people, Tasien didn't have any idea at all. He never thought of giving up his stable job as a transport worker to become a small worker.

But what he didn't expect was that his next-door neighbor, Qiao Keli, actually signed up directly when the Phoenix Group recruited people for the first time.

Like him, Jokoli used to be a bicycle transporter. Later, because of a bicycle tire blowout on a high-speed downhill section, the entire bicycle flew off the cliff, but he happened to be blocked by a big tree and retrieved a bicycle. Life.

But since then, his bicycle has been completely scrapped, the only source of income for the family has been cut off, and his wife has also run away, leaving behind only three young daughters.

Just when everyone thought that Qiao Keli had nowhere to go, unexpectedly, Qiao Keli, who came to work in Fenghuang Industrial Park on the first day, brought home a large package of meals at night.

That night, when the aroma of the hot food came out, no one expected that working in the Phoenix Industrial Park would actually be able to eat for free, and there would be meat! !

You know, let alone eating meat on weekdays, you can't even eat enough.

And when Chowri returned to the village a week later with 6 Burundian francs (exchange rate 1:300, 200RMB) of food and a few catties of meat, the whole village erupted.

6 Burundian francs!

In this country where the per capita monthly income is only 6 Burundian francs, and the annual income is only 72 Burundian francs (2500 RMB), this is a huge sum of money!
6 Burundian francs a week, 24 francs a month!
This abruptly increased the per capita income by 4 times!
What's more, take care of the food!

For a while, everyone gathered around Qiao Keli and asked how to enter the Phoenix Industrial Park and what kind of work was needed...

Thinking of this, Tassien sighed a little.

"If I had the courage to apply for a job at Phoenix Factory, I might have already joined the job like Qiao Keli now."

"But now..."

Tassien glanced back at the long line, feeling a little uneasy. He also knew in his heart that the more applicants, the greater the competition.

However, he quickly reassured himself.

"Jokori has told me that the main job is to assemble bicycles. I can do this with my eyes closed. It should be fine."

"God bless!"

Without allowing Taciend to think about it, the line ahead of him suddenly became empty. He looked up and saw that he had reached the end of the line and it was his turn.

Suddenly, Tasien was a little nervous, and he couldn't help but clenched the ID card he had been holding all the time.

But before he could speak, a staff member wearing Phoenix overalls beside the rectangular Android in front of him said in the local language without raising his head:

"ID card."

The familiar language made Tassien relax. Although the person in front of him had a cold tone, he could tell at a glance that he was a local.

He hurriedly handed over the prepared ID card: "My name is Tassien."

The person in charge of the record took the ID card and asked while recording it on the paper:

"Tassien, do you have any specialties? What do you want to do?"

"We are now recruiting bicycle assemblers, tricycle assemblers, and miners if we can't meet our requirements."

Tassien had learned this information from Chocoli a long time ago, and blurted out:

"I want to be a bicycle assembler. I used to be a bicycle transporter. I can easily repair bicycles and assemble them!"

"Oh?"

The staff member who had been in charge of recording finally looked up at Taxien, and after looking up and down, he quickly turned his head to look at a staff member of Yan Kingdom next to him.

With a smile on his face, he said in fairly proficient English:

"Boss, here comes another one. He said that he can simply repair the bicycle and assemble the bicycle."

The staff on the side is Lao Liu. Because he can speak some English, he was arranged here to be in charge of today's recruitment.

According to the normal procedure, those who come to apply for the job will first register the information, and after filling in the information, they will be arranged in a warehouse prepared in advance.

There are some scattered parts in the warehouse, and there are special testers who will teach how to assemble them.

The content of the test is very simple, as long as you have a clear mind and quick hands and feet, you can pass it. Once you pass it, you will officially become an employee of the Phoenix Industrial Park.

If it is stated that there are special skills when registering materials, such as English, mathematics, or experience in assembling and repairing machinery, they will be tested individually. Accepting the individual test almost means being hired.

"Let him wait a while."

Lao Liu signaled Tasian to stand over and wait for a while. The colleague who was in charge of the skill test took a candidate to the factory for a test, and he hadn't come back yet.

While speaking, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly saw Xu Long from the administrative department not far away.

"Old Xu, come here, this man said he can assemble bicycles, you can take him directly to the factory to have a try."

Tasien couldn't understand Yanguo's dialect, but it didn't take long before he saw a Yanguo staff member trotting up to him.

He was a little overwhelmed, and suddenly heard a very familiar French (official language of Burundi: Kirundi, French):

"Can you understand French?"

Tassien was taken aback for a moment, then nodded quickly.

"Then you follow me."

The familiar words made Tasien's embarrassing mood relax. At this time, there were envious voices from the crowd, and several people from the same village even shouted his name.

"Isn't this Tassien? Wow, he was tested alone."

"Tassien is lucky now, as long as he can enter the factory, isn't it better than him delivering goods by bicycle?"

"I'm so envious, life at home will be easier now."

The voices of everyone's discussion came to his ears, and an unprecedented feeling enveloped Tasien's heart. He had never been so eager to join the Phoenix Group and become a Phoenix employee as he is now!
……

Soon, Tasien followed Xu Long to the bicycle assembly factory.

This is the first time for Tassien to see a modern production workshop. The clean production environment, various machines and assembly lines dazzled him.

He was so shocked that when he got closer, he realized that there were already many local workers with the same skin color as himself in the assembly plant.

At this time, they were wearing labor protection gloves and concentrated on assembling bicycles at their workstations. When they saw Tassien coming in, they looked up and lowered their heads to continue working.

While walking, Tassien saw that there were many female workers in the assembly factory, one of whom was from the next village. She did not expect to be very energetic and skilled in assembly work in the factory.

With emotion, he saw his neighbor, Qiao Keli, who was moving the assembled bicycles at each station to the warehouse with another person. He was just about to say hello to Qiao Keli, when he suddenly heard a buzzing sound in his ear. Dragon's voice.

"Here it is, try to see if you can assemble this bicycle."

Tasien's attention was pulled back instantly. He looked at the work station in front of him. At this time, there was already a black man who was assembling beside the work station, and at the same time, there was also a Yanguo staff member standing beside him.

Obviously this little black brother was tested just like himself.

Tassien was also polite, looking at the various spare parts he was familiar with in front of him, he quickly started to assemble them.

The frame, fenders, front, seat cushion, pedals, all the scattered parts were assembled together, but after a while, the eyes of Xu Long and the workshop director at the side suddenly brightened.

Without waiting for a long time, Tasien quickly completed the assembly of a Phoenix brand [-] bar. When he came back to his senses, he turned to look at Xu Fei, but saw Xu Fei looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Congratulations, you have successfully passed the test and become a member of our Phoenix Group."

"The position we gave you is the workshop team leader. Your team has five team members, and you will manage them."

"Your weekly salary is 9 Burundian francs, and you have four days of vacation every month. You can eat for free in the staff cafeteria at noon and evening every day. Our supermarket in the park has imported goods from Yanguo, and the price for employees is [-]% off." .”

"Our park offers free charging, free Internet access and other benefits. The specific benefits and rules and regulations will be explained to you after you join the job."

"Would you like to join us?"

9 Burundian francs! !
Four days of paid vacation per month!
Free canteen!

Charge for free!

Internet for free!

A great sense of happiness poured into Tassien's heart, and he had no time to think about it:

"I do, I do!"

Xu Fei was no longer surprised, and smiled slightly, with a calmer tone:
"Okay, you follow me to apply for entry."

"You go to get a set of clothes today, and then complete your phone number and personal information. Come to work at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, no problem!"

Tassien's heart is full of joy, and his whole body is full of energy!

"Boss, on weekdays I get up at 6 o'clock to transport bananas, and I'm already on my way at 8 o'clock."

"Boss, no problem!"

As he said that, Tasien's eyes were full of hope...
