243: Retreat as advance
It depends on people and the success of heaven.
There is no 100% in the world.
If you are 60% sure, you can do it. Lin Yao judged that the success rate of such a treatment method should not be less than 60%.
After making a decision, Lin Yao drove to Dongxiang Village.
A village with thousands of people must have a village elder who is highly respected and able to speak on behalf of others.
Such people are either of high generations, good popularity, or proper work, and are like leaders in the local area.
Lin Yao was going to talk to these people. After discussing with these people, there was no need to explain to the villagers one by one. After all, Lin Yao represented a quarry, and the villagers might not be able to listen to his words.
"Manager Xiao, do you know who is better at speaking in Dongxiang Village?"
Seeing that Dongxiang Village was about to arrive, Lin Yao asked the manager surnamed Xiao of the quarry.
Manager Xiao has always been in charge of the quarry, and he is bound to deal with people from Dongxiang Village. After hearing the sound, he said, "Last time, people from Dongxiang Village came to smash the machine, and a man named Niu Xun led them. The old Niu family is quite outstanding in Dongxiang Village. There are many people and many powers. It is absolutely right for us to find Mr. Niu."
"Okay, let's go to the Niu family and meet Mr. Niu."
Lin Yao opened his mouth and looked at the farmland outside the window.
The farmland on both sides of the road is all industries in Dongxiang Village, and it is not the dealer but the vegetables grown.
Hong Kong Island has a small place and a large population, so there is not enough local vegetables to eat. Seventy percent depends on mainland exports.
The remaining 30% were contracted by farmers in the countryside.
Dongxiang Village mainly grows spinach and celery. The two types of vegetables are the pillar industries of the village, and vegetable dealers will collect them at regular intervals.
When growing vegetables, there is no problem with food and clothing, you don’t have to think about getting rich.
Dongxiang Village is generally poor. Most of the households have old houses, and only a few live in two-story buildings.
"The old Niu family has arrived."
The car was parked in front of a second-floor small building with a yard. Manager Xiao pointed to the building and said, "Mr. Niu has four sons and three daughters. The whole family lives here. Niu Xun is the eldest in the family. He is thirty-three this year. His wife is a local from the island and has a bit of a stingy personality."
"What's going on with the remaining three sons? Are you married?"
Lin Yao asked.
Manager Xiao thought about it and shook his head and said, "I don't know this, probably not."
All four sons are going to get married, and it is obviously not suitable to live in a house.
It is very likely that among Mr. Niu’s four sons, only the eldest son has started a family and started a business, and the others have not been married yet.
Not getting married is nothing more than two reasons.
One is that the three sons of the Lao Niu family are unmarriedists, and the other is that the family has no money and needs a house to get married, so the Lao Niu family cannot prepare to come out.
"Mom, Ah Dai drank my brother's milk powder!"
"You little bastard, milk powder is so expensive. How old are you? You are still robbing your younger brother's milk powder to drink!"
"Mom, it's my brother who drank my ink first!"
"Oh, who told you to drink ink? You're so angry that you're so angry!"
As soon as he entered the yard, Lin Yao heard the quarrel.
I saw a table in the yard, and three children were sitting on chairs. Not far away, there was a middle-aged woman squatting on the ground to wash clothes. She was wiping the ink from a child's mouth with a rag.
"Who are you looking for?"
Seeing Lin Yao and the other two come in, the middle-aged woman frowned and asked.
Lin Yao walked in front and looked at the yard, and found that the yard was very messy and all kinds of debris were piled up everywhere. Obviously, the hostess of this house was not a person who could handle housework.
"Is Mr. Niu here?"
Lin Yao withdrew his gaze and looked at the middle-aged woman.
"Who are you?"
The middle-aged woman looked mean and was not very welcome to Lin Yao and the other two who were visiting.
Lin Yao replied: "We came from the quarry and we have to talk to the old man if we have something to do."
When he heard that it was a quarry, the middle-aged woman had no good face. Her face was longer than a horse. She said disgustedly: "What's there to talk about? Since you opened the mountain and quarry, everything has started to go wrong in the village. I think you can move the quarry away as soon as possible."
Lin Yao replied with a smile: "You can't say that. We will solve problems if there are problems, but there are no problems. We don't want anyone to create problems. Of course, we are here today not for Feng Shui, but to ask the old man to help us recruit workers."
“Recruiting?”
The middle-aged woman didn't know what medicine Lin Yao sold in the gourd, and she was a little uncontrollable for a while, and her mouth became a little relieved: "My father is in the backyard, please come with me."
The house of Lao Niu is quite small. There is a yard in front, a two-story building in the middle, and there is a yard and an old house in the back.
Walking through the small building, Lin Yao and the other two saw an old man in his sixties who was cleaning the vegetable garden in the backyard.
"Ka Zhen, who are they?"
Seeing the middle-aged woman bringing people over, the old man put down his hoe and asked.
The woman, known as Jiazhen, trotted to the old man and whispered: "Dad, they came from the quarry."
"quarry!"
When the old man heard this, he returned without thinking, "You go back. The matter of not allowing you to start work was discussed by the villagers. It is useless for you to find me."
"Old man, we didn't come for the start of work, we were recruiting workers."
Lin Yao walked up and took out a cigarette to light it for the old man. Then he said, "The drivers in the quarry are no longer doing it. I'm thinking about it and want to recruit fifty drivers from the village."
"Driver?" the old man wondered: "No one in our village can drive?"
Lin Yao smiled very kindly and said earnestly: "It doesn't matter if you can't drive, you can learn it. Since our quarry dares to recruit workers, we don't care whether you have a driver's license. It's easy to handle without a driver's license. There are so many driving schools outside. We can organize everyone to learn it. If you learn it, you will have a driver's license?"
“Free?”
Before the old man could speak, the middle-aged woman couldn't help it.
“It’s free of charge, of course.”
Lin Yao's answer was firm.
The cost of learning to drive in Hong Kong is not low. From registration to getting a driver's license, a process can cost at least 7,000 to 8,000 Hong Kong dollars. The salary for a driver's license will be gone for half a year.
In addition, it takes time to practice driving, and it may not necessarily be a job if you learn it. There are not many people learning to drive at this stage.
This is not much, it means letting you spend money to learn.
If it is free, who doesn’t want such a good thing, let alone Lin Yao also proposed to recruit drivers.
"Let us learn to drive for free. If we learn, we can still be drivers for you. Is there such a good thing in the world?"
The old man was also a human being when he was young and did not believe in the beauty of a pie falling from the sky.
He said suspiciously: "You won't want this method. Let our village agree to your start of construction, right?"
Lin Yao quickly waved his hand: "One code is the same as one code. I came here this time to recruit workers. As for whether to let the quarry start construction, you have to discuss it yourself. We will not be able to force others."
"Even if the quarry cannot start construction in the future and needs to be moved to another place, we still need a driver."
"Besides, we pay for it. You learn to drive. Whether you succeed or not, will it be a loss for you?"
Lin Yao changed his voice: "There can't be someone who lets you learn a craft of eating for free. You are all timid and dare not agree, right?"
"How many places do you give?"
The old man was still moved because he really had food to drive these days, and his salary was higher than that of ordinary workers.
Even if you can't use it after learning it, you won't be able to use it in the future. What if you can use it in the future?
"We can give eighty places to learn to drive. How to arrange it? Master, just take the lead and organize the list and give it to me. I will definitely pass.
As for the quota of recruitment, we expect to recruit 50-60 dump truck drivers. There is no need to hurry if you are not selected. Our boss is Mr. Ni from Tsim Sha Tsui. He said that some taxi shops are rushing to ask for people."
Lin Yao didn't say anything. Now he is anxious to start work. After these people learn their driver's license, this group of people should be anxious.
Are you anxious if you have a driver's license and don't have a job?
The average salary of a driver is 2500 to 3500 Hong Kong dollars, which is definitely a medium-sized salary in Hong Kong Island.
How much can you earn by farming? Can you get a stable income of 2,000 Hong Kong dollars per month?
People will not be satisfied. It is foreseeable that when this group of people get their driver's licenses but have no place to work, they will definitely think of when the quarry will start construction.
