This city simulation game can affect reality.

After the chemical plant was shut down, besides leaving behind a piece of land that was hated by both humans and dogs, the most valuable legacy was human resources.

For those low-level employees, most of them had no experience of the dark side of the chemical plant; they simply lost their jobs to support their families overnight.

According to the information Chen Jun had, more than 90% of the chemical plant's employees were villagers from Longdingshan and the three surrounding villages.

Among them are many technical personnel.

Given the resort's current size, it's unrealistic to expect it to take on everything, but now that the cake is on the table, how can we not try a bite?

For many years, chemical plants have been able to act with impunity because they have built up a certain level of public support.

During the first negotiation with the resort, Fang mobilized a large number of employees and their families, giving the supervisory team a good lesson.

If Chen Jun hadn't been relentlessly pursuing them, they might have actually escaped this ordeal.

For Shita, this is undoubtedly a living, breathing lesson.

This at least once again confirms the age-old truth: water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.

To truly thrive in Longding Mountain, maintaining the old business strategy is clearly not an option.

While going it alone has its advantages, who would complain about having too much health?

"Uncle Zhou, how's the recruitment work I asked you to do a while ago progressing?"

Inside the office, Chen Jun called Lao Zhou in.

It has been almost three weeks since the recruitment plan was drafted last time.

"We received more than 20 resumes from all channels, but after the initial screening, only a few were acceptable," Lao Zhou said truthfully.

Due to financial constraints, Chen Jun was unable to offer overly generous terms.

In addition to the resort's location in a remote suburb, Longding Mountain has now been embroiled in a scandal involving a "black-hearted company."

It seems difficult to attract qualified talent from outside.

Especially for management and technical positions, most people can't even pass Lao Zhou's test, let alone get to Chen Jun for an interview.

"Call the people you've shortlisted over for interviews as soon as possible. Also, we should pay more attention to the unemployed people left over from the chemical plant," Chen Jun said.

"Before the chemical plant was shut down, I did have notices posted in various villages for a while. But these days, most of the people who remain in the villages are middle-aged and elderly people who make a living by farming; the young people have almost all gone to the city."

"As for the past two days, there has been so much work that I haven't had time to ask someone to update the notice."

Old Zhou said with a hint of apology.

He has a lot to do these days, so he can't devote much energy to recruitment, and hasn't had time to seize the opportunity.

Chen Jun could understand. After thinking for a moment, he decided, "In that case, let's hold a mobile job fair in the three villages and promote the development plan for the Longgu River basin at the same time."

Old Zhou nodded in agreement.

Chen Jun's initial idea was to set up some scattered stalls near the river and then promote the area through online and other channels, turning it into a secluded and tranquil suburban camping spot.

With its scenery and atmosphere along the Longgu River, it can definitely satisfy most city dwellers' wonderful imagination of outdoor picnics.

Away from the hustle and bustle, peaceful and comfortable...

As for the nearby stalls, they mainly serve people who don't want to prepare camping equipment in advance.

It can retail snacks, swimming rings, and even products such as tents and fishing rods.

If a suitable building becomes available in the future, it can be placed directly.

If this project succeeds, it will not only provide the resort with another source of income, but more importantly, it will make the nearby villagers dependent on the resort, laying the groundwork for subsequent expansion plans.

......

After the plan was drafted, the rest was naturally left to Lao Zhou to handle.

Chen Jun's current focus remains on overall coordination and management.

Upon opening the data interface of "City Simulator," he immediately discovered an important piece of information.

[Resident: Li Qingxin]

[Level: Lv3 Skilled Craftsman]

Experience points: 398/500

[Residents gain one experience point for each craft item they create.]

Li Qingxin's experience points are almost at the 400 mark, and she only needs less than three days' worth of work to level up.

Although her production scope has now shifted from simple wooden rings to more complex handicrafts.

However, due to rapid technological advancements, it is still possible to accumulate a considerable amount of experience points every day.

As for the other seven children currently recruited, they have all made progress to varying degrees.

Especially the eldest disciple, Little Bear, whose Lv2 experience bar is now halfway there.

"Once Li Qingxin reaches Lv4, we can try a more aggressive approach to publicity."

As can be seen from the recent upgrades, residents' abilities experience a qualitative leap with each new level achieved.

Furthermore, even without leveling up, proficiency will slightly change as the experience bar increases.

At Lv1, when the experience bar is 0, residents may only be able to do some simple crafts, just like ordinary beginners.

When the experience bar is halfway up, you've officially entered the world of carpentry.

Li Qingxin is currently at what can be considered the late stage of Lv3.

The cabinets she carved demonstrate that she was already adept at some particularly intricate techniques.

Once the experience bar is full and you reach Lv4, it's hard to imagine what kind of dramatic changes will occur.

After lunch, Chen Jun walked to the woodcutter's hut.

The photographer is shooting Li Qingxin's next piece.

After the two finished their work, Chen Jun stepped forward, chatted for a few minutes, and then offered his suggestions: "Your current level of expertise is no less than that of some carpenters who have been in the business for many years. If you only limit yourself to making ordinary wood carvings, the audience you can attract will ultimately be limited."

Although Li Qingxin realized that her talent seemed extraordinary, she didn't have any experience in gaining popularity and could only follow Chen Jun's arrangements to do some repetitive work.

Even the occasional creative ideas are confined within a specific framework.

So, in response to her boss's suggestion, she could only tentatively ask, "Could I try carving some novel little toys? Like the trendy rag dolls that are popular these days?"

Chen Jun shook his head: "It's possible, but I don't think it's eye-catching enough."

He took out his phone, found a picture he had downloaded from the internet, and handed it to the other person: "Can you carve this?"

After just one glance, Li Qingxin looked troubled: "This..."

The image shows a Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue that is tens of meters tall. Not only is it enormous, but the overall details are also so numerous that they are mind-boggling.

Although it is not necessary to actually carve a thousand hands during the production process, each hand's palm must be equipped with a "wise eye".

In addition, one must also carry magical implements such as willow branches, a precious mirror, and a sharp sword.

Each of these ritual implements requires a significant amount of time to process individually.
