Chapter 592
After Xie Xiu took note of everyone, he immediately held a small meeting with these newly-appointed shareholders.
On the other side, Jiang Er first reported to the Ministry of Works, and then held a meeting with his friends.
He had previously borrowed money from many friends to buy land, so now that he had unearthed coal, he naturally had to express his gratitude.
He was also generous. He did not say that he would pay back the money directly, but instead said that the borrowed money would be regarded as shares invested by his friends.
You can share profits in the future.
But this share belongs to him and has nothing to do with the company. Any future profits will be distributed from his dividends.
If these people want to buy shares in the company, they can spend extra money, but the rule of one thousand and two taels of silver per share cannot be broken.
If you don’t have enough money, you can pool your money.
His friends had already heard the news from him and had gathered the money.
Now, of course, he paid the money promptly.
Not only will they become shareholders of the company, but they will also be able to share in the dividends that Jiang Er receives in the future.
Simply delicious.
After the conversation, everyone went straight to the restaurant for a big meal. Everyone got drunk, danced for joy, and sang little songs at the top of their lungs.
As a result, he became too complacent and almost got beaten up by the diners around him because of the loud noise.
……
As shareholders gradually invested and there was enough money, recruitment and publicity officially began.
Of course, Xie Xiu, the eldest princess, and Jiang Er didn't need to be personally responsible for such a small matter as recruiting workers. They could just hand it over to the manager.
While the managers had job recruitment notices posted, they also recruited beggars and street urchins from the streets and alleys, and asked them to go from street to street and to surrounding villages to promote the job.
As long as they can recruit people to work, they will receive a commission of twenty cents for each person they recruit.
When these people heard that there was money to be made, they ran faster than dogs.
After the recruitment notice was posted, it quickly aroused discussion among the people.
A group of people gathered in front of the notice, looking at the words on it curiously.
Someone who couldn't read anxiously asked others, "Who can tell me what's written on it?"
"They said they were looking for people to dig coal."
"Coal mining? That's too hard! I heard people can easily die there. Only a fool would do that!"
"The higher-ups also said that no coal miner would earn more than 100 coins a day, and that food and lodging would be provided."
"One hundred coins a day? That's not bad."
"What's the point? Do you know how hard it is to mine coal? You can die in the mine if you're not careful. They say they provide food and accommodation, but who knows what you're going to eat or what you're going to live in?"
"But isn't that the Princess's coal mine? The Princess can't cheat people like this, right?"
"I just don't believe it. Who would go into coal mining if they couldn't survive? If they died of exhaustion, there might not even be anyone to collect their bodies."
As soon as these words were spoken, many people nodded in agreement, thinking that he was right.
Suddenly, someone said, "Hey, the higher-ups actually said that retired soldiers returning home will be given priority. Even if they have disabilities, they can still do patrol work."
Everyone immediately exploded.
"What? Even if you have a disability, it's okay? Is that true?"
"If this is true, then someone can try it."
"I have a neighbor who used to be a soldier. He injured his hand and had to come back to feed himself. Now his family can barely make ends meet! I'm going to go back and talk to him and ask him to give it a try!"
"There's a brother from the same clan in my village who injured his leg while serving in the army. I don't know if he can make it. I'll go ask them. If he can, I'll go back and tell him to try it too!"
Everyone talked about it, asked someone who could read about the recruitment location, and then ran away in a hurry.
The recruitment location is in Meishan.
Anyone who wants to work can enter the probation period by digging a few hoes to prove that they can work.
The probation period is one month, and the daily wage is still 100 wen, including food and accommodation.
There is also hot water for showering.
However, after becoming a formal employee, there will be opportunities for promotion and future treatment will be better.
