Chapter 27 100,000 Yuan

Li Jianhong's factory in Sucheng has only been built for less than ten years. The factory's living area is fairly well-equipped. Although it doesn't have the kind of double dormitories that Li Dongfeng found online, it does have six-person dormitories with air conditioning.

The twenty-odd young men were brought to the dormitory, and they were like country bumpkins visiting the Grand View Garden for the first time.

Some people say this place is so new!
"It's much better than the factory in our village!"

"Look at you, so full of yourself! This was found for us by our Dongfeng friends. They're the sons of high-ranking officials. How can you compare them?" someone mocked their companion for being so unsophisticated.

The man chuckled.

After Zhou Ziyang finished discussing the details with Li Jianhong, Li Jianhong asked his secretary to print the contract and withdraw the money.

Zhou Ziyang then said he wanted to go to their dormitory to check on them.

Li Jianhong said it was up to him.

After Zhou Ziyang left, Li Jianhong's secretary said, "Boss, this guy looks too young. Is he reliable?"

“He’s unreliable, but you’re reliable? Why don’t you find me a batch of short-term workers?” Li Jianhong rolled his eyes.

The secretary kept her head down and didn't say anything.

However, Li Jianhong thought about what Zhou Ziyang had said to him in the car and felt that Zhou Ziyang must have some background. After hesitating for a moment, he felt that he should investigate him a little.

When Zhou Ziyang arrived at the dormitory area, a group of more than twenty young men were still packing their things. They all came from poor families, so they brought their own bedding and other supplies. They had already started assigning their own beds.

Before Zhou Ziyang even entered the dormitory, he heard someone shout in the corridor, "Brother Zhou is here!"

Then all the students from several dormitories went outside to surround them.

"Brother Zhou,"

"Brother Zhou."

"Brother Zhou!"

They all had beaming smiles on their faces; it was clear they were very satisfied with the factory.

Zhou Ziyang nodded slightly to them and asked, "Are you settling in well here?"

"I'm used to it! I'm so used to it! It's so much better here than in the south!"

"Yes, it's close to my home. If I had known there was such a place, I wouldn't have gone south!"

"Hey, you think you can just walk into this factory like that? It's all thanks to Brother Zhou's connections!"

"Brother Zhou is really amazing! I was watching you talk to the factory manager just now, and you really acted like a big boss!"

A burly young man from the countryside said something rather silly.

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

They had never found a factory with such high wages before. Given their limited experience, they could only think that Zhou Ziyang had connections and influence, so they respected him from the bottom of their hearts.

In fact, Zhou Ziyang had simply seen a little more than them.

However, Zhou Ziyang didn't say much.

Zhou Ziyang simply asked them if they could accept an hourly wage of 20 yuan.

They quickly nodded and said, "We can accept it, we can accept it. Eight hours of work a day, that's 160 yuan!"

"Yes, I can earn at least five thousand a month, it's totally acceptable!"

Zhou Ziyang said, "Okay, the factory will give you a simple training session tomorrow."

"You can stay here in the factory for now. I'll arrange for someone to come over tomorrow so you can register your identity information."

"Okay!"

Because they felt they had found good jobs, they were particularly enthusiastic.

Zhou Ziyang called out Li Dongfeng's name just before he left.

"East Wind,"

"Hey!" Li Dongfeng finally emerged from the crowd. At this moment, too many people wanted to curry favor with Zhou Ziyang, and Li Dongfeng couldn't even get a word in edgewise.

Zhou Ziyang said, "You'll come home with me in a little while."

Li Dongfeng immediately objected, saying, "Huh? Why? I want to stay and make money!"

Zhou Ziyang glanced at him with some displeasure and said, "You've been gone for two weeks."

"Since you've come all this way, you should at least go see your sister."

Li Dongfeng didn't actually want to go home because he hadn't earned any money yet, and going home would be too embarrassing.

However, for some reason, he found himself hesitant to refuse Zhou Ziyang.

Zhou Ziyang saw through his thoughts and said, "Come back with me."

"I have other things to arrange for you."

Not only Li Dongfeng, but also the other people from Zhou Ziyang's area were taken back by Zhou Ziyang, who said that since they had returned, they should go home and visit.

As for those people from other places, seeing the special treatment Zhou Ziyang gave them, they were envious and thought that these people were equivalent to Brother Zhou's confidants.

Zhou Ziyang took a total of five people with him. Apart from Li Dongfeng, the other four had already started calling him Brother Zhou naturally, and they were completely convinced of his authority. Just two weeks ago at the gathering, they had acted as if they were not on the same side as Zhou Ziyang.

At this moment, everyone was calling Zhou Ziyang "Brother Zhou" with increasing familiarity, as if they were even closer to him than Li Dongfeng. Soon, the secretary brought over the contract, which Zhou Ziyang signed.

The secretary said, "Manager Zhou, our boss said he's friends with you. He'll make sure the payment is rounded up to 100,000 yuan and it's already been transferred to your account."

Manager Zhou, please check your mail.

Zhou Ziyang had already seen the message on his phone by this time, and nodded slightly: "Thank you for your help."

"You're welcome. We hope to cooperate with you for a long time to come."

The factory provided Zhou Ziyang and his group with a van to take them home.

On the way, someone complained to Zhou Ziyang, saying, "Brother Zhou, it doesn't really matter whether we go home or not."

"Yes, we also want to make money."

Zhou Ziyang said, "I'm asking you to come back with me, not so that you can go home."

“You are ultimately different from them. I have something to tell you.”

"?" Zhou Ziyang's words made everyone curious and strain to hear him.

Zhou Ziyang briefly explained how he started his company.

He said if it were just the five of you, he would tell the factory and it wouldn't matter.

"The main reason is that there were too many people this time, and the factory was afraid of taking responsibility, so they signed a third-party agreement with me. The agreement states that if any accidents or unexcused absences occur in the factory, I will become the person primarily responsible."

"Huh?" Zhou Ziyang's words made everyone feel that he had taken responsibility.

Zhou Ziyang waved his hand and said it didn't matter. Since he had started the company, he had to get it running.

"So you are definitely different from ordinary workers. You are now all employees of my company."

"Your main task is not on the assembly line, but to help me recruit people."

"After you go home, see if any of your classmates or friends are reliable and want to work. You can introduce them to us. The hourly wage is 20 yuan, and room and board are included. For every person you introduce, I will give you a referral fee of 500 yuan."

"so much!?"

The crowd couldn't help but shout.

If it's 500 per person, then 5000 for ten people!?

Zhou Ziyang said that he wouldn't just pay people when he called them over; they would only be paid after working for a full month.

"Moreover, this five hundred is the authority I've given you. You can develop your downline. For example, you can ask your friends to recruit more people. For each person they recruit, you give them three hundred."

Zhou Ziyang explained the general operating model to them, and they nodded as if they understood but didn't.

Zhou Ziyang had the drivers take them home one by one, and on the way, he tried to win them over a bit, telling them not to work too hard at the factory, and if they got tired, to tell him, and he would talk to the factory manager to make things easier for them.

Zhou Ziyang's few words were incredibly touching, giving people the feeling that following Brother Zhou meant they would have good fortune, and they secretly decided to stick close to Brother Zhou.

After seeing everyone off, Zhou Ziyang took Li Dongfeng home.

When Zhou Ziyang was talking to others, Li Dongfeng didn't say a word.

They stayed in the car until only the two of them were left.

Li Dongfeng then said with some emotion, "Old Zhou, it's because of me that you've gone through so much trouble!"

"Actually, you don't need to worry about me. The college entrance exam is coming up soon, and you run a company and run errands for us."

Zhou Ziyang said it didn't matter, since it was already open, and it wasn't like he hadn't made money.

"Speaking of which, I should thank you. If it weren't for you, how would I know I have such a great talent for business?"

Li Dongfeng chuckled and said, "I knew you weren't an ordinary person!"

The van stopped at the entrance of Li Dongfeng's residential area.

Zhou Ziyang and Li Dongfeng got out of the car and walked into the residential area.

On the way, Li Dongfeng said some words of remorse, and it looked like he was about to cry.

Zhou Ziyang found it amusing and said, "If you really care about me, then help me recruit a few people. The contract I signed requires me to recruit fifty people."

"That's definitely no problem! We can recruit five hundred people, let alone fifty!"

"Come on, you're bragging again!" Zhou Ziyang chuckled.

"Dongfeng?"

Just as the two were chatting and laughing, someone called out to Li Dongfeng from ahead.

The two looked closely and realized that it was Li Caiyu, who had just gotten off work.

"Sister!?" Li Dongfeng was overjoyed to see his sister again after two weeks.

Li Caiyu asked curiously, "You weren't going? You're back!?"

"Well, it's a long story, sis! I have to tell you, Ziyang found me a really great job! I don't have to go to the south anymore!" Li Dongfeng said excitedly.

 Damn, I always try to write something simple, but it always ends up being three thousand words long. It's so annoying.

  I also think writing this is pointless.
  Thankfully it wasn't a paid stamp, otherwise I'd be getting flamed again.
