I Carry a Game World With Me

Chapter 346: Chapter 322: Such a Salary? Surging Undercurrents

This recruitment ad was certainly eye-catching.

The Xuanfeng Alliance’s two factories truly needed to hire, and this wouldn’t be the last batch.

Needless to say, the Xuanfeng Facial Mask’s reputation had already spread, but production capacity was still insufficient. Distributors from every country were clamoring for more.

Therefore, recruiting another batch to expand production was a must.

The Xuanfeng Seasoning Company was, of course, the company dedicated to producing Xuanfeng Essence, Xuanfeng Fine Salt, and Xuanfeng Sauce.

Lu Feng knew these three products would become wildly popular. Especially since all three were everyday seasonings, the potential sales volume was unimaginable.

Thus, hiring was essential, and they needed to hire a significant number of people.

Hiring just 20,000 was nowhere near enough.

After all, a single ketchup-making conglomerate employed over 30,000 people.

He had three products, and each one would surpass that ketchup company.

When operations were fully scaled up, the number of employees required would far exceed that figure.

Moreover, once the Xuanfeng Wind Dream-Returning Wine, Xuanfeng Facial Mask, Xuanfeng Spice Factory, and their related industry chains were fully developed, hundreds of thousands of citizens in the Xuanfeng Alliance would absolutely benefit.

As for the 20,000 base salary, that wasn’t an issue at all. One had to remember that these three products all had profit margins in the thousands of percent.

A few yuan’s worth of salt, plus over 30 yuan in materials, labor, and utilities... and the final product sold for 500 yuan.

But when Huang City saw the ad, his mind subconsciously went to the wages at factories back home.

He thought the nationally mandated average factory wage was something over 11,000.

But from what he remembered, the factories he’d actually been to only paid around 6,000, and you could make more doing manual labor.

’And now a factory in the Xuanfeng Alliance is starting people at 20,000?’

’With perfect attendance and performance bonuses, wouldn’t that be 25,000 or more?’

Huang City couldn’t help but seethe with envy and jealousy.

He had previously looked up the Xuanfeng Alliance online because he planned to find a long-term job there, and maybe a girlfriend who wouldn’t demand a bride price.

But the most common description he’d found online was that the Xuanfeng Alliance’s predecessor state was not just poor, but one of the most impoverished places on the entire planet.

Therefore, even with some improvements, the work environment in the Xuanfeng Alliance, having inherited everything from its predecessor, should have been terrible.

’A "terrible" working environment, my ass!’

’You call a factory that can pay a 20,000 monthly base salary "terrible"?’

’Those people back home don’t know a damn thing.’

Then it hit him. ’Wait, it doesn’t look like these two Xuanfeng Alliance factories have any citizenship requirements, do they?’

’Could I go and apply?’

With that thought, Huang City couldn’t resist hailing a cab and heading for the location of the Xuanfeng Spice Factory.

The Xuanfeng Facial Mask factory was out; they were only hiring women.

Soon, he arrived at the recruitment site for the Xuanfeng Spice Factory. He still had his phone out with the Qingfeng Intelligent Assistant open, ready to use its translation feature.

’Otherwise, how could he possibly apply if he couldn’t speak or understand the language?’

But when Huang City arrived at the recruitment site and began filling out an application, he was surprised to find that the company had staff from the Dragon Country.

"You’re from back home?" the recruiter asked, looking at the application Huang City handed him.

"Y-Yes," Huang City nodded immediately, his face still showing his surprise.

The recruiter looked at Huang City’s application and said, "It says here you worked on construction sites for seven years... We can hire you at the Xuanfeng Spice Factory, but you’ll have to sign a contract. It’s a minimum five-year term, with vacation time included..."

"Of course, if you make any mistakes during the contract period, we reserve the right to terminate your employment. As for the specific terms, the final right of interpretation rests with us..."

Huang City didn’t understand the rest of the recruiter’s terms and conditions.

All he knew was that he’d been hired. He was about to become a wage earner with a 20,000 base salary.

’As for the five-year contract? Who cared?’

’A factory job with a 20,000 monthly base salary? He wouldn’t just work for five years; for someone like him, he could work here for a lifetime without any problem.’

When the contract was placed in front of him, he signed it in a hurry.

It wasn’t just Huang City. Many other male tourists from back home, who had initially been lured to the Xuanfeng Alliance by what amounted to a honey trap, were also there.

They found themselves inexplicably drawn in by the factory’s recruitment drive. Many tried applying and, to their surprise, were hired with ease.

They could hardly believe it.

This was, of course, all part of Lu Feng’s plan.

His ultimate goal in using a honey-trap-like scheme to attract bachelors from the Dragon Country was to solve the Xuanfeng Alliance’s population problem.

Furthermore, these bachelors had no family ties. As long as they grew accustomed to life in the Xuanfeng Alliance, it was highly likely they would apply for citizenship, marry, and have children here.

Besides, five years was plenty of time for these men to acclimate. Over such a long period, the women of the Xuanfeng Alliance who were anxious to marry could also slowly cultivate relationships with them.

Marriages formed this way would be more stable.

Therefore, for this round of recruitment, he had Baguda open up a certain percentage of positions specifically for people from the Dragon Country.

Of course, they weren’t hiring just anyone. Someone like Huang City, who could endure seven years of construction work, was clearly hardworking and resilient. There was no issue with hiring him.

This recruitment drive wouldn’t have much of an impact on the native populace of the Xuanfeng Alliance. After all, a new nutritional supplement and a vision-restoring medicinal wine were about to be released.

And there would be even more products in the future.

The fact that Huang City and the others had been hired successfully was an even bigger deal.

After all, many tourists had seen the recruitment notice.

As word spread, more and more tourists flocked to the recruitment sites.

Soon, this news reached the Dragon Country, and countless people online were eager to try their luck.

This was especially true after an expert online analyzed that this was only the Xuanfeng Alliance’s first wave of hiring, since the Xuanfeng seasonings had not yet been fully rolled out and were just beginning to be promoted.

Based on the hiring demands for this type of everyday seasoning, the number of jobs would have to multiply several times over at the very least.

After all, even a brand like Lao Gan Ma back home could support over 5,000 employees with its limited product line.

If the online descriptions of how magical it was were true, the future production value of Xuanfeng Sauce alone could surpass Lao Gan Ma by several dozen times.

Therefore, the Xuanfeng Seasoning Company would definitely be hiring again.

Seeing the constant stream of news about people from their country successfully getting jobs, countless others felt their hearts burn with excitement.

Thus, over the next few days, for various reasons, the number of people from the Dragon Country flooding into the Xuanfeng Alliance surged dramatically.

「The Xuanfeng Alliance.」

「Wind Manor.」

Baguda arrived before Lu Feng, his face beaming, to give his report. "His Excellency the Governor, the promotional strategy from Qingfeng Network Company is truly incredible."

"Over the past few days, it’s not just the number of people from the Dragon Country that has surged. Besides the 2,000 people hired at the spice factory, various other industries have hired over 5,000 more people, all on five-year contracts."

"A large number of these men have already hit it off with the young women of our Xuanfeng Alliance. On top of that, more than twenty new companies have come to the Xuanfeng Alliance to set up shop, though most of them are in the food industry..."

Baguda clearly grew more excited as he spoke.

Although the numbers weren’t yet astronomical, it was important to remember that it had only been a few days. This was just the beginning.

In the long run, there was bound to be a period of explosive growth.

Lu Feng was naturally pleased to see the results. After all, most of these people would one day become his subjects.

He didn’t forget to give his instructions. "Baguda, you must also accelerate the construction of the factories for the nutritional supplement and the medicinal wine."

"Rest assured, Governor. There won’t be any problems," Baguda quickly promised.

Clearly, the Xuanfeng Alliance was developing in a positive direction. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, things would only get better.

But sometimes, this kind of success is what attracts trouble.

On a tall building in the suburbs of the Xuanfeng Alliance, several figures had appeared, their eyes fixed on a factory in the distance.

That was the Xuanfeng Spice Factory.

The leader of the group stared at the factory, a strange light glinting in his eyes.

Just then, his phone rang. He quickly answered and spoke into it, "We’re all in position. But are you sure about this? Are you certain they’ll help us?"

Elsewhere, in an office, a middle-aged man was also on his phone. "We have no other choice. If your operation fails this time, then we’ll have to do as they say and resort to extreme measures."

As he spoke, his gaze fell upon the table in front of him.

On it were arrayed the Xuanfeng Facial Mask, Xuanfeng Wind Dream-Returning Wine, Xuanfeng Essence, Xuanfeng Fine Salt, and Xuanfeng Sauce.

Every single one was a product of the Xuanfeng Alliance.
