Zhan Lingfeng currently has very few talented individuals at his disposal, and naturally, everything falls on his shoulders.
What makes Zhan Lingfeng somewhat pleased is that with his busy schedule, the more he is occupied, the faster his Inner Qi progresses. This is one of the greatest benefits of the Red Dust Heart Refining Technique; there is no need for dedicated operation, as the Secret Technique runs automatically. Moreover, the body cultivated through this method reaches a remarkably resilient level.
Hu Yonghua's cart has essentially become Zhan Lingfeng's dedicated vehicle, taking him around every day.
"Brother Hu, many of you veterans must be out of work, right?" Zhan Lingfeng suddenly thought about security matters.
"Yes, many are from rural areas and have no jobs after returning from service. In our countryside, several have gone back home. We also have a comrade from the countryside who is not an ordinary person; he comes from Special Forces but got into trouble and was sent back. He is also unemployed now."
"Brother Hu, I have an idea. The catering company in the countryside will grow big next. Naturally, we need personnel for security. Ask them if they are willing to come to my company to handle security matters. You won’t need to drive anymore; take on the role of captain. Your Special Forces comrade can be the vice-captain and help me get this operation started."
Hu Yonghua increasingly admired his initial decision; he never expected he had truly followed the right person. He quickly replied, "Boss, don’t worry. I will definitely get things done."
He no longer referred to him as "Xu," but instead called him "Boss."
Zhan Lingfeng secretly praised this change in address; Hu Yonghua was indeed quite capable and sharp-minded.
"Their salary will be tentatively set at two thousand. You will have an annual salary of fifty thousand, and the vice-captain will earn forty thousand. Of course, for special missions, there will be additional bonuses."
Zhan Lingfeng truly wasn’t short on money now, so he was generous with salaries. Such wages were quite high in this era, ensuring he wouldn’t struggle to find talent.
Although Hu Yonghua was skeptical about Zhan Lingfeng offering such high compensation and wondered if it would affect the restaurant later on, he had a blind trust in Zhan Lingfeng. He felt that whatever Zhan Lingfeng undertook would surely succeed.
"Brother, I’ve brought someone for you. Do you have time to meet?" Chen Qingqiang paged Zhan Lingfeng.
Looking at the pager, Zhan Lingfeng realized he really needed to buy a new phone soon.
When Zhan Lingfeng arrived at the construction site, he saw a beautiful woman talking to Chen Qingqiang.
A woman?
Zhan Lingfeng did not expect that the introduction would be a woman.
"Brother, this is Miao Manman, the deputy head of the County Song and Dance Troupe."
He then said to the woman, "This is the boss here, Zhan Lingfeng. You two should get to know each other."
The beauty, who was not yet thirty, looked at Zhan Lingfeng with her beautiful eyes and smiled, saying, "I didn't expect you to be so young."
Zhan Lingfeng did not waste words and directly said, "Sister Miao, you know the situation here, right?"
"Yes, Chen Qingqiang mentioned some things. I have a concern. This venue is quite large, and I believe it will be great once it's built. However, this is a rural area with not many people passing through, which will definitely limit the development of your place. Additionally, the quality of your dishes is still an unknown. If the food isn't good and you can't attract customers, then everything will be in vain. I'm curious how you plan to address these issues?"
Zhan Lingfeng's eyes lit up; this woman was impressive. She could identify such problems and bring them up, showing that she was invested in the matter—she was indeed a talent.
"First of all, regarding the dishes, you don't need to worry. The ingredients I use are specially cultivated and raised, unique to us. I guarantee they will attract people. As for cooking skills, that's secondary; an average chef can make the dishes taste great."
Miao Manman's brows furrowed slightly.
Zhan Lingfeng noticed but did not mind; he knew she thought he was boasting.
"Actually, Sister Miao, haven't you seen that the construction on that mountain has already begun? Once it's completed, it will only take about twenty minutes by car to reach the provincial capital of Neighboring Province. This place is bound to become an important passageway. Why worry about customers?"
At this point, Zhan Lingfeng said, "Sister Miao might think I'm bragging, but I won't hide it from you. Right now, I need management talent. Everything I have is laid out here and can't be hidden. If Sister Miao is willing, I would like to offer her the position of General Manager of my restaurant company, with an annual salary of one hundred thousand, and I'll advance you twenty thousand."
Ah!
Everyone was stunned; they didn't expect Zhan Lingfeng to throw money around like that.
Miao Manman’s eyes lit up as well. He had a story in the County Song and Dance Troupe and had long wanted to venture out but hadn't found the opportunity until now. Zhan Lingfeng's offer of a hundred thousand annual salary with an advance of twenty thousand showed his sincerity.
"Did you see? I also have quite a few wooden houses here, which are used for reception. If Sister Miao has no place to stay, you can choose one."
Although everything was still unclear, Zhan Lingfeng pointed to a spot ahead and said something.
"Hey, are you negotiating?"
He Zhenxiong walked over with a smile.
"Old He, I was just looking for you. This area is still too small; I plan to acquire more land to develop this into a resort. Please sell me that mountain behind and the area below."
Zhan Lingfeng pointed to the mountain behind him.
"Are you really going that big? Do you have the money to invest?" He Zhenxiong was also taken aback.
"I didn't have any money at first, but when I went to the Provincial Capital last time, I got lucky and won quite a bit from gambling on stones. Can you help me inquire about it?"
Zhan Lingfeng's gaze shifted to the area at the foot of the mountain, his eyes shining. He suddenly remembered that during construction in later years, they actually found hot springs there, making development much easier.
"The mountain is about two hundred acres, it's wasteland, so it's manageable. The area below the mountain is also barren, so it can be easily handled. If you really want to do it, it's possible."
"That area below the mountain is about three hundred acres, right?" Miao Manman asked at this moment.
He Zhenxiong replied, "Yes, there are more than three hundred acres. Last time there was a contract price for this Barren Mountain, twenty yuan per acre, which seems to be over four thousand a year. The land below is forty yuan per acre, which amounts to twelve thousand a year."
At this point, he looked at Zhan Lingfeng.
"That totals about eight hundred thousand," Miao Manman quickly calculated and said, looking at Zhan Lingfeng.
Zhan Lingfeng turned to He Zhenxiong and said, "Old He, I want it all. The contract period is Fifty Years. I will pay the entire contract fee upfront. If the Countryside agrees, I can pay immediately."
"Really?"
Now He Zhenxiong was genuinely excited. What he needed was a significant achievement to elevate his position. With this project, the top leader of the Countryside would be his. He patted Zhan Lingfeng's shoulder and said, "Just wait; I will report this matter to Inside the County immediately."
Then he asked, "Are you planning to expand your catering company?"
"Old He, I feel that I need to change the scope of my company's operations. Besides catering, we need to include cultural entertainment, dance, and music as well."
"This is easy to handle; just change it once you've decided on a name."
