I'm incredibly ambitious after being reborn.

Chapter 51 The Little Brother's Wonderful Use

The advantage of hiring people you know well is that you can save on human resources investment in the initial screening process. When Zhang Daxiang is recruiting for his own family, he first recruits from within three generations, and then selects the best candidates from the major banks and second-tier banks.

Of course, there are special cases. For example, Zhang Damiao's father died early, and he has been following him around since he was a child. So, he is taken care of regardless of his age.

He didn't know the specifics of the Sang family's situation, but Zhang Daxiang had already guessed about 70-80% of what Sang Shouyi was thinking.

At the end of this month, Sang Shouyi will bring a few people. Firstly, these people used to work at a private gas station in Hebei North Road. Secondly, Sang Shouyi wants to give them a heads-up in advance. On the phone, he said he would ask Boss Zhang to take good care of him in the future, but in reality, Sang Shouyi plans to curry favor with Zhang Daxiang.

Given the current predicament of Dongsangjiazhuang, what exactly needs to be done boils down to two things: selling individual labor and using some of the original resources of the Sang family.

It could be local specialties, commercial channels, or supplies, etc. Dong Sangjiazhuang has the initiative and some capabilities, while Zhang Daxiang has the helmsman and capital that Dong Sangjiazhuang currently lacks the most.

Everyone knows that being a big boss is a great life, but not everyone's personality is suited to being a big boss. If things go wrong, it won't just be a matter for one or two families.

The resentment that Dongsangjiazhuang harbors towards the Sangjia Compound is a classic example.

However, if the "respectable people" of the Sang family's old residence acted in a slightly more respectable manner, they wouldn't be hated by the people of Dong Sangjiazhuang.

Ultimately, it's a question of whether or not one should act as a human being.

"Brother, I'll go help out at the North Gate this Sunday too."

It was the weekend, and after finishing his homework, Zhang Damiao came to "Shizipo" to help out. His mother used to work as a machine operator in a textile factory in town, but now that the business at "Shizipo" was booming, he asked his mother to come here to look after the small supermarket next to "Dachedian".

There's no need for cleaning or anything; once you're familiar with where the goods are placed, you just wait for the cashier to give you change.

It's much easier than working in a textile factory.

"Where's your mother?"

"We'll switch shifts and have lunch soon."

In the office, Zhang Damiao took a bag of preserved plums from the snack cabinet, tore it open, and popped two into his mouth. He then said, "I can't help here right now, but it would be good to go to the north gate and help clear the plates."

"Let's get into high school first."

"I took the test casually."

"You're acting all high and mighty again, huh?"

"hey-hey……"

“I’ve never seen you get first place in the grade. If you do get it once, I have other important things to arrange for you to do. Before the New Year, your sister-in-law’s family will come over with fifty or sixty people, and after the spring, there may be one hundred and thirty or forty people coming. There are a few things that I don’t trust others to do, and you are the most suitable to do them.”

"What?"

"To accompany you in your studies."

"what?"

Zhang Damiao was stunned and swallowed a plum pit without noticing.

Asking him to lead the charge, Zhang Damiao wondered without even frowning what this "accompanying student" thing was all about.
“I’ve already discussed it with a few old folks and we’ll restore ‘Zhangshi Primary School’ after the New Year and add a junior high class. It’ll be roughly the framework of a nine-year consistent school system, and we’ll gradually fill it in later. The support from the big and second banks isn’t much, since most of them study in the city. So we need the third bank to put in more effort, as well as the people from ‘Youfangtou’.”

Zhang Daxiang, not wanting to hide his motives from Zhang Damiao, continued to explain to his younger brother, "I predict that the number of migrant workers in Jiyang City will increase in the next few years, so I want to build a school for the children of migrant workers ahead of schedule. It will mainly be for your sister-in-law's family, but to dispel their concerns, we need a role model. If you get first place in several exams, you can take the high school entrance exam from Zhangshi Village next year. I've also already talked to your grandfather. I will rehire several retired teachers and those who are about to retire from No. 2 Middle School with high salaries."

What are the requirements for the high school entrance exam scores?

"Ideally, you should be the top scorer in the city. If you can't get first place in the city, then being first in the school is fine too. The main purpose is to reassure people who come here."

"Isn't it stressful for migrant workers to have families to support? What do you think, Da Da?" Zhang Damiao has an excellent learning ability, so he will definitely ask questions if he doesn't understand something.

"If I came alone, I would be worried about causing losses. But if I brought my family here and arranged all their food and lodging, then people with some problems in their character would actually restrain themselves. They would think of their families before themselves."

"Oh~~"

Zhang Damiao, who understood immediately, nodded repeatedly. He had only thought that this would increase costs, but he hadn't expected there to be other tricks involved.

However, Zhang Damiao felt that this was not something an ordinary person could do.

In other words, the older brother has the ability and can integrate the Zhang family's resources. Otherwise, he would be like most bosses: if he can reduce costs and increase efficiency, why wouldn't he?

"Then I'll focus on my studies this semester and won't consider helping out for now."

"That would be best, and you can also secretly help a few other brothers study hard and try to get more high scores. For each person you bring out, I'll reward you with 10,000 yuan; for every 10 people you bring out, I'll reward you with 100,000 yuan; for every 100 people you bring out, that's 1 million yuan."

"Then give me ten thousand yuan first."

"A small coffin, but they've already factored themselves in first."

Zhang Daxiang smiled, but instead of shooing his younger brother away, he opened a drawer, took out a wad of banknotes with the white seal still on, and threw it to Zhang Damiao.

The young man hurriedly caught the wad of cash, chuckled, and slapped the stack of bills on his face. "I'm going to see my mother."

"Keep your distance from people."

"know!"

Zhang Damiao responded and closed the office door behind him as he left.

Shizipo is bustling now, with many trucking companies cooperating with Zhang Daxiang, especially those located in remote areas that happen to be doing port and wharf freight logistics along the Jiangnan East Road. Making Shizipo a permanent base for them is very suitable.

Previously, employee meals were cobbled together at outdoor stalls. Now, with the expansion of the business, employee meals have been separated into a separate area, which is also a converted temporary prefabricated building. The formal ground-level building is still under construction.

However, in order to save time and effort, steel structures will be the main type of office buildings. The other office buildings that have been submitted for approval are also subject to the issue of newly added land use areas, so the earliest they can be completed is the end of next year.

Zhang Damiao went straight to the staff canteen built from prefabricated houses. He saw his mother, Zhao Hongxian, eating and chatting with her colleagues, so he went over and greeted her with a smile.

Have you eaten?

"I come here to eat after school."

"You've been to your uncle's place, haven't you?"

"I took a bag of preserved plums. Hehe..."

Pulling out an opened package of preserved plums from his pocket, Zhang Damiao waited with a grin until his mother finished eating before leaving the restaurant. He then pulled his mother aside and said, "Ah Da told me to get first place in the grade and gave me ten thousand yuan."

“Go and return it to him. You've been taking his money again. Don't you know your eldest brother needs money for his business?”

“If I go and return it to him, I’ll definitely get beaten up, so I’d better keep it safe for now. Besides, he also said that I have tasks to be assigned to me later, so I’m not just taking this little bit of money for nothing. You’ll see when I get into high school.”

"Then let's just keep it. He's making sense now, so let's not speculate about his thoughts."

"rest assured."

Seeing her son's reaction, Zhao Hongxian felt helpless but still carefully put away the 10,000 yuan.
