The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

That being said, once it was made clear, these researchers who considered themselves "noble scholars" were all a little embarrassed.

"What did you say? Everyone in the world is here for profit... We do want to earn a few more wages, but are we really destined to make money?"

"That's right. When you entered Jilin Prefecture, who didn't see all those soldiers? They were scary. Even if you were paid twice as much a month, you wouldn't be able to spend it all!"

Before entering the meeting room, Jiang Cheng heard a fierce debate inside.

The topics basically revolved around "How sincere are they to dismantle the equipment and trick us into coming to Jilin Prefecture with high salaries?" and "These warlords may have cruel tempers and may even overturn the agreed things" -

It seems that in the eyes of these scholars from the interior, the Northeast is really a wild and undeveloped industrial and commercial restricted area... The so-called "investment does not go beyond Shanhaiguan" is probably a prejudice that started from this time?
"These people are talking nonsense. I'm going in now to Jing!"

Feng Qing beside him turned black-faced, and was about to take out his gun to calm the situation, but Jiang Cheng quickly turned his eyes away and glanced at him indifferently.

After Ye Hai's death, Feng Qing took over and together with Xu Fushan and Han Ming, became the personal guards of the Jilin governor...

This guy is also very loyal, but he is straightforward. He is more aggressive and faster than Li Shitou, and is a typical Northeastern rough guy.

A glance sent to the boy, who suddenly lowered his head to avoid it, but Jiang Cheng shook his head and smiled calmly, standing by the door and continuing to listen without making a sound.

The venue for meeting these researchers was a banquet hall on the second floor of the Governor's Mansion that was temporarily converted. In addition to scientific researchers like Han Yanchao, the twenty or so steel plant staff members also included sales staff, managers, and foremen of the laborers.

They all came to the capital of Jilin to try their luck after hearing Gao Wensheng's "preferential treatment policy" -

But along the way, the severe cold and the heavily guarded city made them feel uneasy, so it was not surprising that they now had some ideological conflicts.

With a profound smile on his face, Jiang Cheng listened for a full ten minutes and basically understood their intentions and expectations, then he coughed loudly.

The meeting room suddenly became quiet. Jiang Cheng turned his head and smiled at Yang Yucheng. Then, at the announcement of "Master Jiang is here" from the butler Luo Rong, he quickly led the guards into the room.

Even though there was a ground heating system in the room and a lot of firewood was added to the fireplace, these people from the interior of Shandong still couldn't stand the severe cold in Jilin. They sat around the long table, rubbing their hands and stamping their feet in the cold.

Seeing the highest official of the province enter, these men, whose bodies were frozen stiff and whose faces were ashen, stood up in panic and saluted...

Of course, those who shouted the loudest were clearly guilty and quickly avoided looking.

Jiang Cheng smiled faintly.

"Oh, I'm so busy with official duties. I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting from afar!"

The voice was clear, steady and very infectious, making the men present feel at ease immediately -

It has been heard that Jilin's governor Jiang Cheng is young and promising, but no one thought he was so young. Moreover, he was born with a handsome and clean appearance, which gave people a good first impression.

"Haha, Master Jiang, you are so polite!"

As people exchanged complicated glances, the middle-aged man who seemed to be the most respected among the group stood up. He first introduced himself. His name was Zhao Wenxing, and he was the general manager of the German factory, which is what modern people often call a "general manager".

After Jiang Cheng's somewhat friendly opening remarks, he began his speech with an obvious flattering tone;
Jiang Cheng has never been interested in this kind of people, and even feels a little disgusted with them.

But now he is a provincial governor, and no matter how much he dislikes it, he often faces it - and it is actually the easiest to deal with those who are eager to flatter.

As expected, after his speech, he began to introduce the people present to Jiang Cheng as the chief director.

It took him more than half an hour to introduce the twenty or so people. Jiang Cheng remembered the ones who left the deepest impression on him, especially the chief engineer Han Yanchao.

"Master Jiang, we all listened to Master Gao's advice... We agreed with Jilin's development prospects and decided to come to the capital,"

As expected of the general manager, Zhao Wenxing spoke appropriately, "Looking at the orderly city and strict military discipline in the capital, we can finally put our minds at ease."

Keep it to yourself - who can your words represent?
Jiang Cheng smiled calmly, but did not rush to express his opinion.

Before entering the door, there was considerable opposition to the development of Jilin and the future of their people - as soon as they entered the door, they actually turned directly to the direction of "flattery".

Jiang Cheng still wanted to hear some dissenting voices: After all, this consul general was not very reliable no matter how you looked at it.

As expected, under the guidance of his gaze, Han Yanchao, who had the most hesitant expression, spoke: "Master Jiang, I am a scholar and a technician in the factory... I have a few words to say, but I don't know whether I should say them or not."

Jiang Cheng still didn't say anything, but as today's "deputy", Yang Yucheng smiled and said, "It's similar to Mr. Han. I'm also a technician in Jilin."

After introducing himself, he talked about some basic information about Jilin, and finally added: "As Mr. Gao said, Jilin is a place where all industries are waiting to be developed, and it is eager to recruit talents--"

"Everyone should think carefully. The current situation in Shandong is unstable. Especially since the end of the European War, all parties have turned their attention to that hot land... Local and even regional conflicts are inevitable."

"The equipment has been dismantled and moved to Jilin. Not only does it need to be reassembled and debugged, but it also requires the talents of all of you to resume production—"

"This must be a difficult process for you all...but Master Jiang has also informed everyone and guaranteed generous treatment."

As he spoke, he listed the conditions one by one: skilled workers in the steel plant would receive two silver dollars per month before the steel plant resumed production; after the steel plant resumed production, they would be included in the piece-rate settlement, and their monthly income would be guaranteed to be more than ten dollars.

Technical and management personnel will receive ten yuan as rewards when they join. After the steel plant resumes production, they will be given more performance rewards based on their contributions.

Jiang Cheng had someone investigate before he made the offer. The guaranteed salary alone was more than double what the Germans offered...

If it is really as he promised, and there are piecework and rewards, the income will be quite generous!
After Yang Yucheng finished speaking, golden light began to flash in everyone's eyes——

However, Jiang Cheng took over the conversation and said, "Your Chief Yang only talked about the salary."

"I, Jiang Cheng, am eager to recruit talented people. For those who are willing to devote themselves to Jilin's development vision, I will allocate housing and free medical care... Those with children will receive the same treatment and can also attend primary schools in the provincial capital, with free board, lodging and tuition!" (End of this chapter)
