Text Chapter 678 Employee Treatment
The decoration of the house is also a little better than the small villas of the middle class. Tom's and Lem's houses were also in that fast zone, a little worse than the farmer's, also a two-story cottage with a sloping roof and a small window.
The idyllic country style, according to the words of the Chinese dynasty, looks very literary and petty. In particular, there is a row of flower shelves at the door, and pots of flowers are placed there. There is also a swing not far away, and there is also a parasol on a leisure seat. This picture really looks like a pictorial.
There is also a small yard around the house, in which a few trees and a lawn are planted. Zhou Jiexi looked at it and nodded. Sure enough, he has been working for more than ten years, and the treatment given by the former farmer is really good. Even the houses are now equipped, which really saves the old employees a lot of financial expenses.
There are still a few houses in the past, of different sizes, which are probably the houses of some employees. In the past, some houses were still in the style of RVs, and there were also houses like trailers. In addition, it is the kind of room with a large building area. Don't think about it, it should be a collective staff dormitory. And most of them are estimated to be single men, or people who don't want to get married.
"Welcome, boss!" Tom said to Jessie Zhou with a smile on his face, and then introduced his family. Zhou Jiexi also nodded one by one, one was his wife, and the other two were his children, one was sixteen and the other was fifteen.
It happened to be the third and fourth child. As for the eldest son or eldest daughter, it is estimated that he may have gone out independently at the age of eighteen, or went to college. But during the dinner, I found out that the eldest son was playing music outside.
The second daughter is now attending college at her own expense, which is also a prestigious school, the University of Southern California. You can get the scholarship by yourself, and you don't need to worry too much about the future work of this kind of students. As long as you can do it patiently, appreciation is certain.
"Sorry Tom, I came here unexpectedly today, I didn't bring a present, but I'll make it up next time." Zhou Jiexi said with a smile without being rude. The same is true for the few people behind him, all saying that they will make up for it next time.
Tom obviously knew this too, and it didn't matter if he even said it, as long as the person came. He is very enthusiastic and can speak well, so Zhou Jiexi and others don't feel too much embarrassment.
As for Zhou Jiexi's bodyguards, they haven't relaxed their vigilance yet. They have already eaten the military compressed food they carry with them, which can keep them in the best condition.
Well, Zhou Jiexi is here as a guest. Of course, the security personnel behind him must be downplayed, so they are now a little far away from him. Only Raymond was still by his side. When he was alone, he had hidden a lot of firearms on him.
Tom's wife is indeed a nice person, although she is a little fat, but the food tastes pretty good. Especially the stewed beef with potatoes is more to his liking than the one made by his nanny at home. There is also a stewed snail with tomatoes, which is probably the most expensive dish.
Refreshing and delicious taste, even though the ingredients are average, Zhou Jiexi still eats a lot. The Tom family didn't know about Jessie Zhou's food intake, but as soon as Meizi, Harvey and the others came in, they knew there was definitely not enough food.
But it’s hard to say anything, but Meizi is very considerate, and gave more than half of her food to Jiexi Zhou. As for David, Harvey, and Raymond, they only gave a little more. Certainly not suitable.
Zhou Jiexi also signaled them not to make it so exaggerated, and eating less would not kill anyone, at most cook something in the space, and he also secretly expressed that he didn't mind it.
During the meeting, we talked about a lot of things, which also made Zhou Jiexi know a lot about the farm. He is more and more satisfied with Tom and Rem. These two middle-aged men are really good employees, and they have thought a lot about him in every aspect. Zhou Jiexi feels that he is better than many employees in this regard.
A good dinner, even if he wasn't very full, he still felt okay. Finally, after eating dessert made by their wives, the men sat on the sofa and chatted over a glass of whiskey.
Only then did Zhou Jiexi know why, he said that these people would feel so happy when the treatment remained the same and the previous plan would be followed. In the past, the farm employees did not stay for long to be honest, but the former farmer needed old employees to be able to cooperate skillfully with him in the truffle business.
So in order to be able to retain some old employees, he introduced a good condition. That is, after ten years of working on the farm, the employees will get the conditions to build a house of their own here.
The cost will be borne by the farmer, but if he leaves the job in the future, the house will not be his. Of course, there are also requirements on the price, which cannot exceed 30,000 US dollars, because in this small town, this price is enough to build a nice wooden house.
Of course, you can also add a little money yourself. During the working period, a piece of land at that location is privately owned. This also saves a lot of money for the old employees on the farm, and they don't have to save money for the house.
It’s just that this plan was very good at the beginning, until it was really necessary to pay for it, it was a heartache. It was okay at the beginning, just one or two people, and the next three or four were not a problem. After all, there would be money on the farm. No extravagance either.
But it was different in the next few years. The money will never be enough, until a lot of bank loans are used, and even the bank loans are in arrears, and the installments are being paid. That kind of small money has really become a burden.
Zhou Jiexi took a look at the plan, and this is considered to be the closest to the town on the outskirts of the farm. It takes less than ten minutes to drive to the town, and even the last dozen or so houses can be developed into a new community without affecting the farm.
It seems that the former farmer also made plans. When it comes to Zhou Jiexi, he also generously stated that he will not be stingy with bonuses for those who are loyal and dedicated to the farm, and will give reasonable rewards.
Looking at the blueprint of the farm, he thought for a while, and felt that now that the farm was about to explode, wouldn't it be better to show his generosity by trying to win over his employees for the time being? Then how to win over is a question, but the answer is much simpler, as long as it is better than the original one, isn't that all right?
After thinking about it, he mulled over and said, "I plan to separate this piece of land here in the future and use it as a special farm community. After working for a certain number of years, the house and land can also be transferred to private ownership." , what do you think?" Zhou Jiexi said and looked at the two people.
