Chapter 678 - 323: Times Have Changed, Recruiting New Members!
Sitting comfortably in the spacious back seat of the big G.
Jiang Tao, with nothing to do, took out his phone and browsed through the information in several WeChat groups.
Jiang’s Food Factory, Jiang Entertainment Company, Jiang’s Agricultural Technology Company, and Jiang’s Delicious Claypot.
The total number of members in these four groups has already reached seventy or eighty people, soon to break a hundred.
Last year, it was still a one-person battle with a car.
In just a few months, he has become the boss of four companies, with seventy or eighty employees under his management.
From Xiao Jiang, Master Jiang, to now President Jiang.
The change in identity and status is nothing short of significant.
Success in his career also makes Jiang Tao feel incredibly fulfilled and accomplished inside.
Now, he can be considered to have achieved financial freedom.
As long as he doesn’t get involved in "gambling and drugs" or spend recklessly, maintaining his current lifestyle and consumption level.
The money he has now is enough for him to spend several lifetimes.
Moreover, his wealth is still rapidly growing.
So, money has become less and less stimulating to him.
Only success in his career can give him a stronger sense of accomplishment.
Watching his companies grow bigger and more influential, gaining higher social status.
Standing at a higher place, Jiang Tao also sees the beautiful scenery he never dared to imagine before.
Ring ring—
While Jiang Tao was chatting idly in various groups, his phone suddenly rang.
Seeing the name "Ma Jingsong" displayed, Jiang Tao’s lips curled up with an amused smile.
He accepted benefits from Ma Jingsong but didn’t immediately act on them, planning to keep him waiting for a couple of days.
As soon as Jiang Tao swiped to answer the call, Ma Jingsong’s eager yet humble voice came through the phone:
"President Jiang, how is the progress on the matter I entrusted to you?"
Now, Ma Jingsong has lost the arrogance he had when facing Jiang Tao in the barbecue shop, speaking respectfully and humbly.
"I’ve been quite busy with work these days. I’m planning to visit President Du today."
"Rest assured, I will definitely do my best on the matter I promised you."
"I have another call coming in. Let’s leave it at that for now. Goodbye."
After saying a few brief words once connected, Jiang Tao casually hung up the phone.
Ring ring—
Just after hanging up Ma Jingsong’s call, another call came in, this time from Liu Yuan.
"Hey Liu Yuan."
"This morning I had Old Jia deliver it. The goods are ready."
"Alright, just contact my sister directly. The payment should be made to Jiang Entertainment Company’s account first."
"Haha, don’t worry. With the big client you’ve introduced to me, you’ll certainly get your share of the benefits."
"Hmm... how many people are needed on the farm?"
"Thirty, right..."
"Okay, I’ll arrange that matter."
"No later than next Monday, I’ll recruit the people for you. You handle their training and onboarding."
"Alright, that’s it for now. Goodbye."
After discussing the Nourishing White Mask and some recruitment matters on the farm with Liu Yuan over the call, Jiang Tao hung up the phone.
For Jiang’s Agricultural Company, Jiang Tao still plans to recruit from his hometown, Jiang Family Manor.
Although the villagers there may not have high levels of education, they definitely have more experience in farming than city folks.
Not only can he create job opportunities for his hometown’s villagers and help them increase their income,
but he can also enhance his own reputation in the local community.
Such a win-win situation, Jiang Tao is naturally happy to pursue.
After searching on his phone for a while, he quickly found "Jiang Xingguo’s" number in his contacts.
Jiang Xingguo is the village head of Jiang Family Manor and a cousin of Jiang Tao from the same clan.
Going up three generations, their great-grandfathers were twin brothers from the same mother.
Having lived in the same village for decades, they share ancestral grave visits during Chinese New Year.
The relationship between the two families has always been good.
When Jiang Tao’s home was being built, the paperwork was held up by the village office.
It was Jiang Xingguo who ultimately handled the approval.
This time, for recruiting from his hometown, Jiang Tao plans to entrust Jiang Xingguo with the task.
With a tap on the screen, he dialed the number.
Ring ring ring—
The phone rang for less than five seconds before connecting, and Jiang Xingguo’s cheerful voice came through.
"Oh, Boss Jiang, what made you think of calling this commoner today? It’s quite flattering indeed!"
"Brother Xingguo, stop teasing me. In front of you, our big leader, what kind of president can I be?"
After knowing each other for decades, Jiang Tao understands that Jiang Xingguo has this playful and humorous personality, and he doesn’t mind his teasing.
"That’s not the way to say it!"
"Tao, you are now a famous big boss in the surrounding villages."
"Your name is much bigger than my little village head role!"
"Who doesn’t know that President Jiang has made it in Beijing, buying houses, cars, and starting companies!"
"For hundreds of years, Jiang Family Manor has never had someone as promising as you."
"You’ve truly brought honor to our Jiang Family Manor, and when the villagers boast to others about you, they feel proud!"
"And you might not know this, but the local leaders praise you greatly for leading dozens of villagers from our village in entrepreneurship."
"Although your company isn’t in our village, helping villagers increase income and wealth is a huge merit."
Jiang Xingguo’s words were indeed heartfelt, not just flattering Jiang Tao.
Jiang Tao didn’t know there were so many things happening secretly.
Even the local leaders know about his efforts now?
"There’s no smoke without fire. Is there any good news you’re thinking of sharing with me this time?"
