Star Tycoon

Chapter 226 When a Person

During the 2018 Spring Festival, Tian Ersan entrusted the task of making dumplings to Lu Changlin, while he stayed outside to enjoy the festivities with his family.

In addition to its full-time employees, Chengbang Group also employs a large number of temporary workers, both men and women.

The men mainly work at Chengbang Commercial Building, which is open to the public and does business.

Outside Xingbang Street, there are temporary workers, various female live streamers, and a new urban area where wealthy people from other places gather.

These areas were also developed by Chengbang Group. Chengbang Construction had acquired a lot of land before it became Chengbang Group, and through development and exchange, it handed over the money to the people of Sanhe Town, making them homebuyers.

Everyone owns several properties, and Tian Ersan owns two residential complexes with dozens of buildings.

Mu Xiuying, Chai Meirong, Li Cuihua, and Li Chuhong, these wealthy people, also legally and legitimately own a large number of residences.

Xingbang Street is considered everyone's residence; each person only owns one house here.

The houses, residences, and shops in the new urban area outside were divided up by thousands of people.

Tian Ersan ate with hundreds of people, as if attending a wedding.

On the stage in front was a pretty female host telling vulgar jokes, while the temporary and permanent female workers nearby listened with smiles.

The people at Tian Ersan's table were all people of high status, including Mu Xiuying, Chai Meirong, She Jinhua, and Tia, who was in charge of foreign business.

There are also two teenage girls, Cheng Shuangxing and Cheng Shuangyue.

Two girls, around ten years old, have lived in Chengbang for a long time, and now they've gone from being useless to being useful useless people.

Currently, they are still considered useless individuals who do not pay taxes, work, or serve in the military. They will only be able to upgrade to green skills, which are one level higher than white skills, after they reach adulthood.

In short, it's still useless.

Tian Ersan didn't let them sit here because of their skills, but because they had been together for several years and he treated them like family.

Yi Xiannong rarely met with Tian Ersan, and he was an old man.

The two little girls, on the other hand, played around in the company after they came out, often accompanying Tian Ersan on patrols and relaying messages, so they were treated differently emotionally.

Chai Meirong and Tian Ersan didn't spend much time together; their contact mainly consisted of work and personal life.

In this celebratory setting, Chai Meirong and Tian Ersan chatted casually.

Tian Ersan looked at Chai Meirong and asked, "How much property do you own right now?"

Chai Meirong smiled and said, "Including houses, cars, and savings, I have about fifty or sixty million yuan, all of which are legal income. My mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and daughter all manage large companies and earn hundreds of millions of yuan a year. It's normal for me to have more money under my name."

It's perfectly normal, and the money is spent naturally, without any need for pretense.

Based on the fact that her family received compensation for their demolished property and that her daughter and son-in-law are billionaires, no one would question whether she embezzled funds.

As the intermediary who can communicate and connect with Chengbang Group, Chai Meirong holds a very special position in the county; she can be said to be the most important person in the county.

Most of the other work was done by her subordinates. Chai Meirong was only responsible for conveying the superiors' requests to Chengbang Group and the problems that Chengbang Group encountered in its development.

Chai Meirong then asked, "Are there any openings for next year? Quite a few people want to bring in their staff."

Tian Ersan watched the six female hosts performing on stage with indifference.

"Five million yuan can get you a temporary job, but it depends on the situation for permanent employees. Temporary employees can only receive medical treatment once a year. Wangzhuang is too small to accommodate the children of temporary employees."

Tian Ersan then said with a smile, "You can also charge some money as a referral fee. I'll charge five million, and you can charge one million."

Mu Xiuying asked curiously, "Isn't six million too much? You're only here as a temporary worker."

Tian Ersan didn't think it was too high. "If you think it's too high, then don't go in. Both men and women can go to Chengbang Electric Appliances. Other departments are fine too. Chengbang Trade Building only accepts women. You can work as customer service, administrative assistant, or sweep floors, but you're definitely not here to be a pampered young lady."

Chai Meirong asked, "Do you accept the money directly?"

It seems that this is indeed not allowed; companies cannot sell internship slots, otherwise it would be illegal.

However, there are many ways to avoid it.

"I'm not going to make that money. Anyway, we'll be hiring 4,000 permanent employees and 4,000 temporary employees next year. If you're so capable, you can take it yourself."

Tian Ersan and Chai Meirong were both well-off, so they didn't bother with the matter.

Anyway, when the time comes, everyone will definitely use their unique abilities to achieve their goals.

The population of the eighth-level administrative office has increased significantly compared to last year, and Tian Ersan still intends to fill all the permanent staff positions this year!
The four thousand temporary workers are the main force behind the septic tank production machine, used to increase internal consumption and get the sewers and toilet drains running.

A group of people continued watching the performance, and every now and then some temporary workers would come over to offer toasts.

After the company held a lively Spring Festival Gala, Tian Ersan went to sleep with several beautiful women.

***
"My lord, Happy New Year! I just finished eating dumplings and found over ten thousand coins inside!"

Lu Changlin walked over and greeted him happily.

Tian Ersan smiled and said, "Happy New Year! This year is another year of peace, prosperity, and good fortune for the country. Have any good things happened?"

Lu Changlin flattered, "Reporting to my lord, yesterday a level six house in the city was upgraded to a level seven house. The residents of the city praised my lord, saying it was an auspicious omen!"

Tian Ersan laughed and said, "Great! It saves hundreds of thousands and hundreds of hours of time, as well as a lot of manpower and resources. It's really a good omen! Hahaha!"

After offering a perfunctory compliment, as if it were just a formality, Tian Ersan walked towards the tavern with a smile.

Just as I arrived at the tavern entrance, I suddenly saw a notification.

[Your people have not been taxed for over a year, from last year until now. They have forgotten the unpleasantness and hatred of the past, and only remember your benevolence and wisdom. Your leadership attribute has increased by one point, your domestic affairs attribute by five points, your bravery attribute by one point, and your intelligence attribute by two points.]

Current properties:
Commander: 11
Domestic Affairs: 15
Bravery: 11
Intelligence: 12
Possesses the skill: Rest and recuperation
Looking at his attribute panel, Tian Ersan felt as if the past four or five years had passed in a dream.

Suddenly, I recalled those resolute and ruthless moments from a few years ago.

tax!

Taxes will be levied for three months!
Taxes have been levied for four months!
Taxes will be levied for one year!!

Public support has been dwindling, with people spending their days calculating when taxes will be paid and how many days' taxes can be collected in advance.

"I actually quit without even realizing it..."

Tian Ersan had thought he wouldn't be able to stop himself, but now it seemed he had underestimated himself. A sense of pride and confidence welled up within him, and he was so moved he almost cried.

Tian Ersan became more confident.

"Go check out the tavern. Since Duan Tiande left, our company's aerospace progress has slowed down a lot. This time, we're looking to recruit a craftsman hero."

Duan Tiande was just a hero who wasn't particularly powerful, on par with Yang Shuming, whose role wasn't very noticeable.

Tian Ersan's tavern and inn have been upgraded to level six, and high-level talents are refreshed every week.

[Tavern]: A tavern where various talents can rest and relax. Each level adds one slot, and one slot is refreshed every seven days.

The higher the tavern's level, the more talented and better-quality people it attracts. You can also spend copper coins to inquire about information.

Now that I have money and a position, I'll wait until after the New Year to refresh the ranks of generals and see if I can produce a powerful craftsman hero.

Excellent, Perfect, Epic, Peerless, Supreme, Saint-level. Currently, the three heroes under my command are all perfect, and there are also perfect heroes newly recruited, but they are all discarded after use.

Some heroes come with their own skills. Tian Ersan hires them, uses up their remaining value, and then fires them after they've used up their energy to speed up production and construction.

I don't usually pay attention to this, but I plan to see if I can get a Supreme or Saint-level hero after the Tavern reaches the maximum level.

Six heroes were sitting inside the tavern.

Three are ordinary, two are excellent, and one is perfect.

The Perfect General is a strategist whose skill is to burn the grain in the enemy's granary.

Tian Ersan had no immediate need for such a general, so he went into the tavern and asked the owner for help.

The tavern owner was Fu Weihou's father, Fu Xueniu, a craftsman specializing in wine and food who started out as a skilled artisan.

Specific buildings require specific types of personnel. For example, if a blacksmith shop has skilled craftsmen working there, the efficiency will be much higher than usual.

Medical clinics can also employ medical professionals.

Urban residents do not need to go out to do farm work, but are used as workers in various urban construction projects.

In the later stages, simply building civilian houses is not enough; it is necessary to construct more functional buildings in order to master stronger agricultural, military, and commercial technologies.

"I need to find out if any talented people will come here."

"Ten thousand copper coins per time."

Tian Ersan paid the bill readily and, once inside the tavern, no longer regarded himself as his lord.

The lord must also abide by various rules, especially after arranging others as merchants and bosses, the relationship between the two parties becomes a simple transaction, without involving anything outside of that.

Work is work and life is life.

After receiving the money, Fu Xueniu smiled happily. He knew he would keep the money for himself, spending it on smoking, drinking, playing cards, gambling, and eating melon seeds.

"There is a chance that a higher quality hero will appear in the next batch of drinkers."

Tian Ersan then pulled out another 100,000 copper coins and handed them over, saying, "I want to specifically request the craftsman hero!"

"Alright! My lord, please wait patiently!" Fu Xueniu accepted the money with a smile. "Come back in seven days, don't delay my business."

Tian Ersan waited patiently for seven days. When he came back after seven days, he saw three ordinary, one excellent, one perfect, and one epic.

Name: Zheng Zheng

Type: Work
Qualification: Epic

Rating: 0
Skill: Flying Car (Increases the movement speed of machinery and vehicles by 20%, and increases health and defense by 10%. This bonus can be tripled for 30 seconds by consuming all stamina.)
Stamina: 100 (Vitality, equivalent to Qi and Blood and Stamina)
Energy: 100 (Consumed when using spells)
Commander: 33
Domestic Affairs: 71
Bravery: 9
Intelligence: 80
Loyalty: 80
Hiring requires: 50000 copper

Daily wage: 5000 copper

Dismissal requires: 50000 copper

"Hire!"

Tian Ersan doesn't lack the daily wage of 5,000 yuan; what he lacks now is not money, but time.

A few years ago, it was the opposite: we had plenty of time, but a lack of money.

A new hero, who appeared to be thirty-five or thirty-six years old, soon emerged. He was from Tao County, had a Northwest household registration, and worked in rocket research. He was an ordinary, lower-middle-level researcher who was not well-regarded by others.

After learning about the real-life personas of the characters, Tian Ersan, Lao Lu, and Xiao Zheng sat down together for drinks and a chat, and made a plan.

“You’re definitely not valued right now. Even if you bring out rocket technology, no one will pay attention to you. You might even be approached by foreign spies.”

Tian Ersan said seriously, "Resign first. Anyway, the job you're doing isn't important, and nobody cares about you. At the same time, apply for a job in the aerospace department of Chengbang Group. Once they send you the offer letter, you'll be awesome! If they don't let you go, I'll borrow you to help me build rockets. Let's do it!"

The three of them raised their beer glasses, clinked them together, drank one glass, and then continued their discussion on important matters concerning space exploration.

Tian Ersan didn't dislike drinking or socializing; he just preferred chatting idly with a group of men here, who would say anything, to drinking and socializing with businessmen, bosses, and their women outside.

Special arrangements were made, and Tian posted a recruitment notice on the eighth day of the third lunar month.

[Job Posting]
