Blending of Planes: I am leisurely farming

While Shane was busy in Zuzu City, Pelican Town also underwent some changes.

After the town meeting, the date for the recruitment information released in order to suppress the rumor arrived as scheduled.

Today, the new fertilizer factory built by Houshan Joja Group was officially completed. The recruitment process will be carried out in an orderly manner after the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The makeshift square in front of the fertilizer factory was bustling with people, but Lewis and those respected elders were missing.

The Joja Corporation management, led by Hashicasta, stood on the stage facing the townspeople and employees.

The faces of those who came to apply for the jobs were full of anticipation and nervousness. They were either whispering to each other, discussing the opportunity in a low voice, or waiting quietly, glancing at the stage from time to time.

Hashicasta cleared his throat and began to speak: "Everyone, today is the completion day of our Joja Group's new fertilizer factory, and it is also the day we recruit new employees. Joja Group has always been committed to providing everyone with better job opportunities and development space. We believe that as long as everyone works hard, they will be able to realize their own value here."

The ribbon was pulled up and he took the scissors presented by Martin.

Fireworks went off, red ribbons fell to the ground, and Qiao Casta waved in greeting.

There was a burst of warm applause from the audience.

"Martin, you will be in charge of the recruitment work now." Qiao Kasta nodded slightly and signaled Martin with his eyes.

Martin straightened up and responded, "Don't worry, boss."

He walked to the front of the stage and said loudly, "Everyone, we are now starting to register for employment. The only hard requirement is membership in the Joja Corporation. Please line up in an orderly manner."

There was a burst of discussion among the crowd.

"You still need a membership?"

"No way, the treatment at Joja Group should be good."

A long line formed, and Martin sat at the registration desk, carefully recording everyone's information.

“Do you have any work experience?”

“I used to work on a farm.”

"Okay, passed."

“Can you operate the machine?”

"I can learn."

"Okay, passed."

"..."

Since they were only trying to remove people from the means of sustaining the land, the Joja Corporation had basically not set up any selection criteria. After asking a few questions and registering their personal information, most people were able to pass, and soon they had filled the 200 job positions.

Those who passed were naturally delighted, but the rest of the people couldn't help but grumble in their hearts.

Qiao Casta had anticipated this.

"We at Joja Group care about all the townspeople. Don't worry if you are not elected. We will build more factories in the future as long as we get the land." He mentioned Lewiska and his team's land acquisition in a veiled way, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he scanned the townspeople below the stage.

"Next, I have some good news to announce." Qiaocasta cleared his throat and raised his voice.

"After Joja Group's inspection, we found that the quality of Pelican Town's agricultural products is very good. We will purchase them all from townspeople who have Joja membership cards. The price will be determined based on the quality of the crops, and we will definitely not let down the townspeople who support Joja Group."

"Finally, the Joja Group has brought new opportunities to everyone." Hashicasta said loudly with a smug smile on his face.

The people in the audience suddenly became excited and started talking.

"That's great! Joja Group is really a blessing for us." A farmer in simple clothes said excitedly, his face full of joy and his hands trembling slightly.

"With the acquisition by Joja Group, we won't have to worry about selling our agricultural products, and we don't have to worry about the face of Pierre, the profiteer." Another person echoed and nodded repeatedly.

"Martin will be the manager of the newly established acquisition department. If you have any questions, you can ask him." Qiaocasta interrupted the discussion.

As soon as Qiaocasta finished speaking, Martin was immediately overwhelmed by the enthusiastic townspeople.

"Mr. Martin, will the purchase price really be reasonable?"

“If our agricultural products are of good quality, will they fetch a higher price?”

"Nephew, take care of your aunt."

"Don't worry, Joja Group will purchase your agricultural products fairly and justly, and the price will be determined according to the quality. As long as your agricultural products are good, you will be able to sell them at a good price." Martin patiently answered everyone's questions.

Qiaocasta looked at the enthusiastic townspeople with a smile on his face, but he was resentful in his heart.

He clenched his fist slightly, his nails digging into his palm.

He would not have used this trick if things had not gone badly. After all, the headquarters was specifically responsible for arranging the production of inferior fertilizers in the Pelican Town area. The original model was to purchase land, drive people into the factory, and cut off the farmers' retreat.

It was all because of this guy Morris, who wanted to adopt a conciliatory policy and gain a good reputation, that his life had so many twists and turns.

We purchase local agricultural products and sell them in a unified manner. Although there is a big strategy from the headquarters, we still have to invest our own money in terms of manpower and transportation fleet.

Moreover, Pelican Town is not like other remote areas in Stardew Mountains. It is the most remote of the remote areas. There is still some profit margin in doing the same thing as other places.

Due to the disadvantage of being a latecomer, in order to form a monopoly in acquisitions, a certain degree of concessions have to be made. In addition, the costs have risen sharply due to inconvenient transportation. There is no profit margin at all, and it is considered good if there is no loss.

Therefore, it will take an unknown amount of time to recover this investment, as this is money that should have gone into his pocket.

This is also the reason why he didn't do this at the beginning. Now he has to do it because of the slow progress.

Qiao Casta gritted his teeth secretly, thinking that when he completely controlled Pelican Town, he would have to make up for the extra investment in the ecological environment and the townspeople.

His eyes turned gloomy and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

This was in stark contrast to the excited townspeople below.
