Xu Long's words from the Executive Ministry made Ding Jian a little curious.

Burundi, a small country, has not many foreign companies to build factories. Even though the official wants to develop the economy and has given various tax-free policies, its attractiveness to foreign investment is still very low.

The main reason is that Burundi is a landlocked country, with inconvenient transportation without ports, and there are not many mines in the country.

There is no foreign investment to invest in the construction of factories, which also makes the people here very closed. Except for Bujumbura, a capital city with a population of one million, there are some sporadic small factories and a few foreigners, other cities have almost no factories, and they are all agricultural.

Mainly.

Like Karuji, the third largest city where Phoenix Industrial Base is located, locals have never seen even foreigners, let alone entered the Yan people's factories to work.

so.

When the Phoenix Industrial Base was initially completed and the bicycle and tricycle production lines began to be debugged and produced, I realized that recruiting workers was not as simple as I imagined.

Many locals are watching and working in a factory run by Yan Guo people. This is still a little scared for locals in these remote cities.

Fortunately, with the strong promotion of local officials, nearly a hundred local people were finally organized to apply for jobs, and Phoenix finally left behind more than 40 workers.

Ding Jian knows these situations, and the difficulty of recruiting people is also a headache for many companies to build factories abroad.

He was a little unbelievable. It was only half a month before Phoenix Group found a solution?

With doubts, Huang Weichen and Ding Jian bought good things from the supermarket, so they simply came to the entrance of the industrial base with Xu Long, the administrative department.

The three of them soon arrived at the recruitment site. At this time, two long queues had been lined up in a clearing ground at the gate of the industrial base, and the other end of the line was even lined outside the base gate.

Noisy sounds were heard from time to time in the team. Two local security guards were wearing Phoenix security uniforms and holding batons. The entire recruitment site was orderly.

Ding Jian was surprised to see it. Unexpectedly, the locals nearby were really enlightened. After a rough calculation, the crowd in line was at least dozens of people.

Xu Long, who was standing beside him, looked at Ding Jian with some pride:

"Lao Ding, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"We haven't started construction for a few days, and the surrounding villages have spread. Come to work in Phoenix, not only will we get a salary, but we have two meals a day."

"The farmers around them have never seen the world on weekdays, and they don't believe us when they talk to them about their wages, but the first batch of employees worked for more than a week. When they went back, they said they could have two meals a day to eat for free. Look at this enthusiasm

Come up."

After Xu Long finished speaking, he was about to brag about Ding Jian, but suddenly he heard someone from the recruitment office not far away wave to him:

"Old Xu, come on, this person said he can assemble a bicycle, so you can take him to the factory to try it."

When Xu Long heard Lao Liu calling him in the recruitment office, he responded without caring about Ding Jian and Huang Weichen and ran away.

"Hey, Lao Liu, here..."

...

Tassian.

Tassian is an ordinary bicycle porter.

His hometown is in a small village under the third largest city of Burundi. The village has a small population. On weekdays, his job is to transport bananas from several nearby villages to the big city of Karuji.

Sometimes when the business is not good, he will use bicycles to attract people in the city to subsidize some household expenses.

At the age of 23, he already has a wife and two children to support him. Although the work of transporting hundreds of kilograms of bananas every day is very tiring and in great danger of life, he has never considered changing his job.

Although this job can only make him live a family forcing life, even such a heavy job that can support his life has made many people in the same village envious.

but.

Only he knew in his heart that the job of a bicycle transporter had no future, and his fate might be like a bicycle transporter in the same village, leaving forever due to a car accident one day...

He had thought about change, but the heavy pressure of life made him unable to change.

Until one day, Tassian heard his wife say that there were a group of Yan people coming from near the village. These Yan people were preparing to open factories near the village and recruit local people to work.

The factory is no stranger to Tassian, who transports palm fruits and bananas to an oil refinery and banana winery in Karuzi City all year round.

The city's refineries are slightly larger in size, but even the owner of a larger palm refinery only hired two small workers, and at most, he asked a few people to help him when he was busy on weekdays.

Moreover, the salary of the small workers given by the boss is very low, and he even occasionally beats the small workers.

so.

When he first heard that Yan Guojian recruited people, Tassian had no idea at all. He had never thought of giving up his stable job as a transporter to work as a small worker.

But what he didn't expect was that his neighbor next door, Qiao Keli, signed up directly when he first recruited people at Phoenix Group.

Jokori used to be a bicycle transporter like him. Later, because his bicycle tires exploded on a high-speed downhill section, the entire bicycle flew off the cliff, and he happened to be blocked by a big tree and picked up one.

life.

However, since then, his bicycle was completely scrapped, his only source of income was cut off, and his wife also ran away, leaving only three daughters a few years old.

Just when everyone thought Jokori was desperate, he didn't expect that Jokori, who came to work in Phoenix Industrial Park on the first day, brought back a large bag of meals to his family in the evening.

That night, when the scent of the food came out after it was hot, no one expected that he could eat for free when working in Phoenix Industrial Park and there was meat!!

You know, let alone eating meat, you can’t even have enough food.

And when Jokori returned to the village with 60,000 Burundian francs (exchange rate 1:300, 200 RMB) of food and a few kilograms of meat one week later, the whole village was in full bloom.

60,000 Burundian francs!

In this country where the average monthly income per capita is only 60,000 Burundian francs and only 720,000 Burundian francs (2,500 RMB) per year, this is a huge sum of money!

60,000 Burundian francs per week, 240,000 francs per month!

This has increased the per capita income by 4 times!

And, it's also in charge of food!

For a moment, everyone surrounded Jokori and asked how to enter Phoenix Industrial Park and what work needed to be done...

Thinking of this, Tassian felt a little sad.

"If I had the courage to apply for a job at Phoenix Factory, I might have joined the company like Joe Cory now."

“But now…”

Tassian looked back at the long team and felt a little nervous. He knew in his heart that the more people applied for the job, the greater the competition.

However, he quickly comforted himself again.

"Jokori told me that the main job is to assemble bicycles. I will keep my eyes closed, so it should be fine."

"God bless!"

Tassiando thought about it, and the team in front of him suddenly became empty. He looked up and saw that he had reached the end of the team and it was his turn.

Suddenly, Tassian was a little nervous and couldn't help but hold the ID card he had been holding in his hand.

But before he could speak, the staff wearing Phoenix work clothes said in local language without raising their heads:

"ID card."

The familiar language made Tassian relax. Although the person in front of him spoke coldly, he could tell at a glance that he was a local.

He quickly handed over his prepared ID card: "My name is Tassian."

The person in charge of the record took his ID card and asked while recording it on paper:

"Tasien, do you have any specialties? What kind of work do you want to do?"

"We are now hiring bicycle assemblers and tricycle assemblers, and if we don't meet our requirements, we can also be miners."

Tassian had already learned this information from Jokori and blurted out:

"I want to be a bicycle assemblyman. I used to be a bicycle transporter. I can simply repair the bicycle and assemble it!"

"oh?"

The staff who had been in charge of the record finally looked up at Tassian, looked up and down, and then quickly turned to look at a Yan Country staff member next to him.

He smiled and said in pretty skillful English:

"Boss, another one came. He said he would simply repair the bike and assemble it."

The staff next to him was Lao Liu. Because he knew some English, he was arranged to be responsible for today's recruitment work.

According to normal procedures, those who come to apply for the job will register the information first, and after filling in the information, they will be arranged in a warehouse prepared in advance.

The warehouse is filled with broken parts, and specialized testers will teach you how to assemble them.

The test content is very simple. You only need to be clear-headed and quick-witted. Once you pass, you will be considered an employee of Phoenix Industrial Park.

If you indicate that you have specialties when registering the information, such as English, mathematics, or experience in assembly and maintenance of machinery, you will be tested separately, and undergoing separate tests almost means you are hired.

"Let him wait a moment."

Lao Liu signaled Tassian to stand over and wait for a while. Only then did his colleague who was responsible for the skills test bring an applicant to the factory for testing, but he has not come back yet.

As he spoke, his eyes lit up and suddenly he saw Xu Long from the Executive Department not far away.

"Old Xu, come on, this person said he can assemble a bicycle, so you can take him to the factory to try it."

Tassian couldn't understand Yanguo dialect, but not long after, he saw a Yanguo staff member trotting to him.

He was a little at a loss. When he was feeling uneasy, he suddenly heard a very familiar French (Burondi official language: Keelungdi, French):
