Chapter 209: Special Mission 【 Be Prepared 】 And Generous Rewards!
【Today’s Intelligence03】:
You had contact with Zhuang Xiaofei yesterday and obtained relevant intelligence—
The secret recipe for roasted whole lamb, passed down in Zhuang Xiaofei’s family, can be optimized and upgraded after system analysis.
…
“The secret recipe for roasted whole lamb can be analyzed and optimized?”
Seeing the content of the last piece of intelligence, Jiang Tao’s eyes lit up again.
This was the third optimizable recipe he had refreshed since obtaining the Daily Intelligence System.
The first two, Eight Treasure Pickles and Barbecue Sauce, are currently in a stable production phase and have already started to be profitable.
Although the business has not yet expanded, it can still bring Jiang Tao around 20,000 in revenue daily.
Once the business matures, earning sixty to seventy thousand a day will be no problem.
Then, using the 【Monopoly Dice】 to double it…
All in all, the revenue from these two technologies is quite considerable.
Now, there’s an added technology for secret recipe roasted whole lamb and roasted whole beef.
Coupled with Jiang Tao’s long-held plan to open a barbecue restaurant.
Learning this technology and applying it to the barbecue restaurant would also serve as a way to attract customers.
Yesterday, Jiang Tao also ate the roasted whole lamb that Zhuang Xiaofei and his group roasted. The taste was indeed fresher, more fragrant, and more authentic than those outside barbecue restaurants.
The technology optimized by System Brother will definitely be superior to Zhuang Xiaofei’s.
At that time, this technology could truly become the “winning secret” that distinguishes his barbecue restaurant from others.
Nowadays, there are so many barbecue restaurants outside.
To stand out in fierce competition, one must have unique characteristics.
“Black Ox Barbecue” in Wanxiang Hui has gained the favor of many diners with its unique secret barbecue recipe, and its business is good every day.
“As long as I’m willing to spend money, this technology shouldn’t be hard to get. I’m just afraid they’ll ask for the sky-high price, then it’ll be difficult.”
“Zhuang Xiaofei and Zhiyuan are classmates. I’ll have Zhiyuan accompany me there tomorrow.”
While planning to buy the barbecue technology in his mind, Jiang Tao turned and walked to the driver’s side door to open it and get in the car.
The road was smooth all the way, and he arrived home around 1 AM.
Jiang Tao took a shower in the bathroom before returning to the bedroom.
After spending 66 yuan to activate 『Sleep Mode』 for himself, he started to sleep!
The night passed without incident.
The next morning, after Jiang Tao’s family of three had breakfast at his parents’ home, he drove his Big G out.
A luxury car costing over 2 million yuan appearing in a village like this instantly draws all the attention!
At 8:30 AM, Jiang Tao drove to Liu Family Village and parked the car outside the alley entrance of Liu Zhiyuan’s home.
“Brother Jiang!”
Liu Zhiyuan, who had been waiting at the alley entrance, quickly walked forward with a smile upon seeing Jiang Tao get out of the car.
“I see you’ve been having some good luck lately, boy. Have something good happened to you?”
Jiang Tao smiled, patted Liu Zhiyuan’s shoulder, and teased him.
“Brother Jiang, you’re truly a prophet!”
Liu Zhiyuan’s face was full of surprise when he heard Jiang Tao’s words.
The day before yesterday, he was rear-ended by Liu Yuan, and then they unexpectedly met again at the Bai Yulan Hotel.
Plus, the fact that Jiang Tao is a mutual friend of both of them, they added each other on WeChat.
After a bit of idle chat, they found they got along very well.
For the past two days, Liu Zhiyuan and Liu Yuan have been chatting enthusiastically and have gradually become familiar with each other.
Liu Zhiyuan is very satisfied with Liu Yuan in all aspects and is considering developing their relationship further.
“Hahaha, then you have to work harder and try to treat us to wedding wine this year.”
Jiang Tao said with a smile, patting Liu Zhiyuan’s shoulder to encourage him.
At the same time, he opened the trunk of the Big G and took out a carton of Lulu Almond Dew and a box of protein powder.
Seeing this, Liu Zhiyuan was somewhat flattered and said, “Brother Jiang, you didn’t have to bring so many things when you came!”
“Stop talking nonsense, it’s not for you.”
Jiang Tao smiled and casually handed the carton of almond dew to Liu Zhiyuan.
“You’re too kind. My parents will definitely say something when they see this.”
Liu Zhiyuan chuckled a couple of times, carrying the items, and turned to lead Jiang Tao towards his home.
The alley entrance is less than 100 meters away from Liu Zhiyuan’s home.
As the two entered the courtyard, Liu’s mother was sweeping the yard with a broom, while Liu’s father was boiling water in the living room.
“Jiang Tao is here! Oh my, why did you bring so many things? You’re being too formal.”
“Honey, come out quickly, Jiang Tao is here.”
Liu Zhiyuan’s mother, Zhou Xiaocui, saw Jiang Tao following her son in and dropped her broom, enthusiastically calling out to him.
“Jiang Tao is here, come in and sit down. I knew you were coming, so I took out the good tea that Little Yuan bought during the Spring Festival.”
Liu Zhiyuan’s father, Liu Mingshan, also came out with a smile, enthusiastically inviting Jiang Tao in.
In the few months since before the Spring Festival, Liu Zhiyuan had earned nearly 300,000 yuan with Jiang Tao.
Liu Zhiyuan had not hidden these matters from his parents and had told them truthfully.
300,000 yuan is definitely a huge sum for Liu Zhiyuan’s family.
Previously, Liu Zhiyuan sold fruit in the Capital City.
After deducting expenses for rent, food, clothing, and transportation, he could bring home at most 50,000 to 60,000 yuan a year.
In just over three months, he earned 300,000 yuan with Jiang Tao, which was equivalent to his income of the previous five to six years!
Liu’s father and mother are just ordinary farmers in the village, farming during busy seasons.
They do odd jobs when farming is not in season.
It’s considered a good year if the couple can save 30,000 yuan.
It would take them 10 years to save 300,000 yuan!
At this moment, Liu’s father and mother wished they could worship Jiang Tao as the God of Wealth in their home.
They even instructed Liu Zhiyuan to maintain a good relationship with Jiang Tao in the future and hold onto this golden opportunity.
If Jiang Tao eats meat, they can at least have some soup, and perhaps they can also become prosperous in the future.
Amidst the family’s enthusiastic greetings, Jiang Tao entered the living room.
Liu’s father brewed tea, Liu’s mother went to wash fruit, and Liu Zhiyuan took out cigarettes to offer Jiang Tao.
Jiang Tao received extremely high treatment at Liu Zhiyuan’s home.
He could naturally feel that part of the family’s enthusiasm towards him also contained elements of flattery and sycophancy.
But he did not dislike it.
Putting himself in their shoes, if he didn’t have the Daily Intelligence System and was still that miserable truck driver.
If Liu Zhiyuan suddenly became prosperous and brought him hundreds of thousands in earnings.
Would he try to curry favor with Liu Zhiyuan?
The answer would be yes!
When one is young, one might value face greatly.
After adulthood, how much is face worth?
The money earned is the most practical.
Flattery is flattery, and sycophancy is sycophancy.
Jiang Tao could also feel their sincerity from the family of three.
They were not simply treating him as a tool for advancement but were quite sincere towards him.
After sitting down and chatting for a while, Liu’s father and mother exchanged glances, looked at Jiang Tao, then at their son, appearing hesitant to speak.
Jiang Tao could also tell that the two had something they wanted to say to him but were a bit embarrassed, so he took the initiative to smile and ask:
“Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, is there something you need?”
“Ahem, well, Jiang Tao, there isn’t much work in the fields lately.”
“I was wondering if your food factory is hiring temporary workers for short-term positions. My wife and I are just idle at home.”
“If you’re short on people, we can come and work for you for a few days.”
“If not, that’s fine. We can find some work in the village.”
Liu Mingshan respectfully offered Jiang Tao a Huazi cigarette with both hands, smiling ingratiatingly.
【Ding! Congratulations on triggering the Special Mission 『Prepare for a Rainy Day』!】
【Mission Name】: Prepare for a Rainy Day.
【Mission Content】: Recruit 10 workers with loyalty above 75 as reserve talent for future needs.
【Mission Reward】: 880,000 cash, monthly salary card limit +100,000!
As soon as Liu Mingshan finished speaking, a sapphire system panel automatically popped up in front of Jiang Tao.
Seeing the content displayed on the mission panel, Jiang Tao’s eyes lit up.
“Prepare for a Rainy Day? Recruiting 10 more workers will complete the mission and get rewards?”
“The difficulty of this mission is probably in the loyalty aspect!”
“Loyalty needs to reach over 75 points.”
Jiang Tao accepted the cigarette Liu Mingshan handed him and looked at the family of three.
【Name】: Liu Zhiyuan （Loyalty 89）.
【Name】: Liu Mingshan （Loyalty 79）.
【Name】: Zhou Xiaocui （Loyalty 77）.
Seeing that the loyalty of the three family members had all reached over 75 points, Jiang Tao felt very relieved.
Seeing Jiang Tao suddenly fall silent, the mood of the family of three became instantly tense.
Liu Zhiyuan chuckled awkwardly:
“Uh, Brother Jiang, if it’s difficult, then forget it. My parents can find work in the village.”
“What nonsense are you talking, boy? I was indeed thinking about something just now, but it’s not about whether it’s difficult or not.”
Hearing Liu Zhiyuan’s voice, Jiang Tao shifted his attention from the mission panel and smiled at Liu Mingshan, saying:
“Uncle Liu, Aunt Zhou, would you two like to work at our food factory long-term?”
“Ah? Long-term?”
Liu Mingshan and Zhou Xiaocui exchanged glances upon hearing Jiang Tao’s words, a look of joy flashing in their eyes.
There are more than a dozen workers from Jiang Family Village working at Jiang’s Food Factory, and the factory’s salary and benefits are well-known.
In addition to paying the Five Insurances and One Fund, the take-home pay is at least four to five thousand, and they also provide food and accommodation.
The salary and benefits at the food factory are much better than doing odd jobs in the village!
Originally, Liu Mingshan and Zhou Xiaocui only intended to do some odd jobs to earn some pocket money.
In this way, they wouldn’t have to pay the Five Insurances and One Fund, which would save Jiang Tao a lot of money.
Liu Mingshan really didn’t expect Jiang Tao to be so straightforward, wanting to hire him and his wife into the factory directly.
“Yes, this year I have other investment plans, and I will need many people.”
“In terms of recruitment, naturally, we will prioritize our own people first, and we can trust them.”
Jiang Tao’s smile was very sincere, and the phrase “our own people” instantly brought their relationship closer.
“Dad, Mom, what are you still hesitating about? Following Brother Jiang is definitely better than you two farming at home!”
“With our few acres of land, besides tilling, watering, fertilizing, and buying seeds, it’s hard to say if we can earn 3,000 a year.”
“Come to our factory, and you’ll earn the farming money back in half a month.”
Liu Zhiyuan saw Jiang Tao extending an olive branch to his parents. While grateful to Jiang Tao, he was also happy for the elders.
The work at Jiang’s Food Factory is clean, easy, and pays well.
It’s a job many people dream of.
Without connections, it’s really hard to get in!
For Liu’s father and mother, this was also a very rare opportunity.
“I can’t promise much more than this.”
“After paying the Five Insurances and One Fund each month, a guaranteed salary of 5,000 for Uncle Liu and Aunt Zhou is achievable.”
After Jiang Tao finished speaking, Liu Mingshan and Zhou Xiaocui were moved again.
“Then thank you, Jiang Tao! Thank you for giving us such a great job opportunity!”
“Thank you so much, Little Jiang. We will work hard from now on!”
Liu’s father and mother joyfully accepted Jiang Tao’s invitation.
Thinking about being contributors to Capital City’s Social Security in the future and receiving a pension from the Capital City after retirement.
The old couple suddenly felt like their future was becoming more hopeful.
“Uncle Liu and Aunt Zhou, you don’t need to be so polite with me. Then it’s a happy decision.”
“After the Qingming Festival, you can go to the factory with Zhiyuan to complete the onboarding procedures.”
Jiang Tao looked at the family of three, feeling very satisfied with them.
Liu Zhiyuan’s talent lies in marketing. Jiang Tao plans to have him in charge of sales for the food factory’s Eight Treasure Pickles and Barbecue Sauce.
He even offered him a base salary of 10,000 yuan plus a 5% sales commission.
Liu Zhiyuan naturally would not refuse such a good job.
The base salary alone is better than selling fruit at the market in the Capital City!
The 5% sales commission may not seem like much, but considering the quality and popularity of the Eight Treasure Pickles and Barbecue Sauce.
It’s almost a certainty that the commission will exceed his salary.
【Mission Name】: Prepare for a Rainy Day （Completion 30%）!
After Liu Mingshan and his wife confirmed they would join Jiang’s Food Factory, a notification message floated across Jiang Tao’s retina.
“Huh? Why is it 30%?”
Jiang Tao was a little surprised that the mission progress increased by 30% at once.
With a thought, he checked the progress and realized that Liu Zhiyuan’s progress had also been added to this mission.
Jiang Tao and Liu Zhiyuan had only verbally agreed so far and had not yet completed the formal onboarding procedures.
Including his progress in the 【Prepare for a Rainy Day】 mission was quite reasonable.
After discussing work matters, Jiang Tao chatted with the family of three for a few more sentences before leaving with Liu Zhiyuan.
During the visit to Liu Zhiyuan’s home, he triggered a special mission that gave both money and people.
At this moment, Jiang Tao’s mood was even better than the clear and sunny weather outside!
9:43 AM.
The Mercedes-Benz Big G drove into a small courtyard near the North Second Ring Road in Ping County.
This is the headquarters of Zhuang Xiaofei’s company.
“Zhiyuan, Brother Jiang! You’re here. Please forgive my poor reception, please forgive my poor reception!”
Seeing Jiang Tao’s Mercedes-Benz Big G, Zhuang Xiaofei’s evaluation of him increased.
Luxury cars like the Mercedes-Benz Big G are very common in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, seen everywhere on the streets.
However, they are quite rare in a small county town like Ping County, with fewer than 10 in total.
Those who can afford such luxury cars are not simple people.
