A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 442 Hello Boss

Thinking of another way to control desire, Lyon instantly became interested. Unfortunately, there was no opportunity to arouse other people's desires now, otherwise Lyon would really like to try to see what kind of scene would appear when he suppressed desires.

"By the way, what are your plans after leaving this mine? Does the Joja Group have any plans for you?"

Although he was looking forward to another effect of desire control, Leon did not forget the current occasion. He put it aside for the time being and continued chatting with Jimmy and Joe.

"Yes, we're hired miners with signed labor contracts. Due to issues at the mine, we're out of work. JOJA will provide us with unemployment compensation, triple our monthly salary. We're just waiting for the foreman to come back with the money."

Jimmy's expression was very happy at the moment. "And the foreman also told us that someone has hired us to continue working in other mines. So we have earned three months' salary for free and are guaranteed to get another job."

"Is that so? That's good." After hearing this way of handling the matter, Leon looked at the Joja family with admiration. After all, the unemployment compensation for these miners added up was not low, and the Joja family was willing to give it to him instead of arguing about it. It seemed that they still had some conscience.

Whether this conscience comes from legal constraints or from Mr. Qi's lavish spending when acquiring the company, Lyon does not know.

Jimmy felt a little disappointed after seeing Leon's dull performance. He hesitated for a long time, and finally when Joe touched him on the back, he mustered up the courage to speak to the two of them.

"Actually, if you, Mr. Leon, want to continue mining this area, I can actually leave the foreman's team and work for you. After all, working anywhere is the same. This job seems to require traveling quite far, and Joe and I don't really want to leave Pelican Town."

"I can also keep a job for you." Joe on the side echoed.

Lyon fell silent after hearing this, because he really had no intention of continuing to mine the remaining minerals for the time being. Moreover, as an ordinary farmer, he suddenly started recruiting miners to become a mine boss, which made him feel a little unsure.

After all, different trades are like different worlds, and having more miners means additional expenses, which is quite troublesome for Lyon now.

Lyon's silence made Joe and Jimmy a little uneasy. They actually really wanted to work for Lyon. After all, working in Stardew Valley was closer to home. Joe had a wife and children to take care of, and Jimmy also planned to propose to his girlfriend and continue to build his own family in Stardew Valley.

But judging from the situation, Lyon, the new mine owner, does not seem to intend to continue the vitality of this mine.

"Well, I think your proposal is good, but I may need some time to think about it. Are you willing to wait for a while to get the answer?"

After a long time, Leon finally asked the two of them, and he was prepared to be rejected.

After all, if they were asked to stop working for a while to wait for an answer that even Lyon himself was not sure of, Lyon would definitely refuse. After all, a stable job is within reach, and compared to an uncertain answer, the former is obviously safer.

But Joe and Jimmy were overjoyed when they heard this.

"Of course, we still have a month's break. We'll decide after a month whether to go to another mine with the foreman."

"That's great. Just one month. I'll give you the answer in a month." Lyon breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that. If they already had the time to wait for the answer, then Lyon wouldn't have much pressure.

"Okay." Joe and Jimmy nodded, and then told Leon their address. It was also in Pelican Town, but it was a bit remote, probably in the area where Butcher John was. "Besides you, are there any other miners who have similar ideas?"

After knowing the addresses of Joe and Jimmy, Lyon casually asked about the other miners. If there were a lot of people, Lyon might really restart the mining work in this mine.

"No, except for me and Joe, the other miners aren't native to Pelican Town. It doesn't matter where they work, to them. Unless you offer a high salary, they won't stay. After all, we miners know the current state of this mining area's mineral resources best. If it weren't for your acquisition, and the Joja Group continued mining, we estimate it would be finished within six months."

Jimmy explained.

"In that case, forget it. But if you really stay and work with me, what will you do after the mine here is mined?" Lyon asked.

"If there were only two of us working here, this mine could allow us to work for at least ten years. By that time, we should both be retired." Jimmy replied with a smile.

"How much salary do you expect?" Lyon asked.

"It depends on your work schedule. We usually charge by the hour, starting from the time you enter the mine to the time you leave the mine, which is about 15G per hour. And this hourly wage is not free. We will calculate the amount of ore that can be harvested per hour according to the normal mining speed. If the share does not meet the standard, you can reduce the hourly wage according to a certain proportion." Jimmy explained.

Lyon did not feel that the price was expensive. After all, mining is a physically demanding and dangerous job. Compared with the hourly wage and the content of the work, it was already cheap.

Not to mention the flexible hourly wage punishment mechanism, which completely eliminates the possibility of hourly wage thieves.

This made Lyon have a better impression of Jimmy, an honest man. He had to explain things clearly, and it was obvious that he had no intention of fooling him, a rookie boss in the mining industry.

"I understand. Now I can promise you that if you really want to work with me, I will definitely not let you lose your job. Go back and have a good rest for a while. We will start working again in a month."

In the end, Leon decided to recruit Joe and Jimmy to work for him.

After all, his efficiency in mining alone was too low. With two people helping him, his efficiency was far greater than that of one person. Moreover, Jimmy had excellent character, and Leon trusted him very much. Even when he was not around, with Jimmy's presence, Leon could rest assured that he would bring Joe to mine for him.
"Thank you, boss." After hearing Leon's promise, Jimmy immediately changed his address.

Joe also smiled innocently and shouted "Hello, boss" to Lyon, which made Lyon feel a little emotional.

It seems that I have evolved from a working slave to a capitalist. Although the scale of capital is not large, I am still a boss, right?
It turns out that it feels so good to be called "boss" sincerely without being polite. No wonder so many people like doing business with it.

　I named Joe and Jimmy because I planned to use them as supporting characters, but this is still a farming story, not a business story, so I have other arrangements for these two people later. Don't panic, brothers, the farm is the main line. In addition to providing ores, this area has other uses, but it is definitely not the wine cellar you guessed. You can guess what it is.

　　By the way, the group number is 810197605. Brothers, you can join the group and brag if you have nothing to do.
