You’re not kidding

Qin Hong glanced at the pen that had slipped from his hand, but he paid no attention to it; his voice was trembling.

"President Chen, I didn't hear clearly, what is the capital budget?"

"150 million."

Chen Mo's voice came through the phone, clearly audible.

Listening to President Chen's clear voice, Qin Hong finally confirmed that he hadn't misheard; it was indeed 150 million.

150 million!

Their previous budget was only 40 million; it didn't even amount to a fraction of the budget President Chen had provided.

He and Wang Siyu had just been discussing whether their budget of 40 million was too high, which was why President Chen hadn't replied.

But now, comparing it to the budget funds provided by President Chen, their previous thoughts seemed too ridiculous.

While they were still discussing matters of a few tens of millions, President Chen was already using hundreds of millions as the unit of measurement.

Is this the strength of Mingri Group!

At this moment, Qin Hong deeply realized that he had grossly underestimated the strength of Mingri Group.

It seemed that the content of the chats in that Manager Group Chat was mostly true.

The thought flashed through his mind.

Qin Hong took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"Alright, President Chen, I will definitely work hard to manage the Jiuhan Agricultural Base well."

"Hmm, just perform to the best of your ability. Go ahead and get back to your work."

The call ended quickly.

Qin Hong put away his phone, walked back into the Room, and looked at Wang Siyu, who was waiting inside, and said with a smile on his face.

"There is a reply; no need to worry about funding anymore."

"Has there been a reply? Was the 40 million funding fully approved?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Siyu looked pleasantly surprised, and the heart that had been hanging in suspense finally relaxed.

"No, it wasn't 40 million in funding that was approved."

Qin Hong shook his head slowly, still wearing a smile.

"Did they reduce the investment? How much is it? As long as it's not lower than 20 million, it's fine."

Wang Siyu was stunned for a moment, then showed an 'as expected' expression.

She knew it; the reason there was no reply before was because the budget funds were too high.

"It wasn't lowered, it was increased."

Qin Hong smiled mysteriously.

"Increased? By how much?"

Wang Siyu looked surprised; this was a result she hadn't expected.

"150 million."

"What? How much? 50 million?"

"It is 150… million."

"What! It's 150 million!"

Wang Siyu exclaimed.

Seeing Wang Siyu's shocked expression, Qin Hong felt a bit more balanced.

So, he wasn't the only one frightened by this number!

After a while,

Wang Siyu gradually recovered and, looking at Qin Hong sitting across from her, asked somewhat uncertainly.

"You… you're not joking, right?"

"How could I joke about this matter? The funds will soon be transferred to the company account of the Jiuhan Agricultural Base."

Qin Hong had a serious expression and continued.

"However, we need to plan this 150 million well. First of all, our previous company construction design plan won't work; we need to build it larger. The agricultural fields that the Jiuhan Agricultural Base will involve in the future are very extensive, and the employees we recruit will definitely be increasing."

"Therefore, in the initial construction phase, we must build all of this in advance to prevent any lack of office space when the Jiuhan Agricultural Base expands in the future."

"…"

"So, regarding construction, our previous plan needs to be scrapped; we need to re-plan it carefully."

"If that's the case, it does indeed need to be planned carefully."

Seeing Qin Hong's serious expression, Wang Siyu finally confirmed the 150 million investment. Although she was still somewhat shocked, she accepted the fact.

She couldn't help but feel a bit ashamed; she had been guessing whether the investor behind the scenes was worried that their previous budget plan was too high.

Now it seemed that she had completely overthought it!

"The construction matter is not urgent; we can calculate it later. Currently, there is a more urgent matter. Now that all the procedures for the Jiuhan Agricultural Base have been completed, it is time to start recruiting formal employees."

"I have already prepared the contracts and everything. We can notify those temporary workers to become permanent and sign contracts. Of course, let you sign the first contract."

Qin Hong said with a smile, then turned and walked to the filing cabinet against the wall, opened the cabinet door, and took out a contract.

These contract templates were sent to him by President Chen's assistant when he joined that Manager Group Chat, and they also included some employee benefits and policies of the Mingri Group.

President Chen just arranged that the employee welfare policy here should also be the same as that of Mingri Group, although there might be some differences in some details.

For example: supermarket shopping cards.

There are no large supermarkets in Beichuan City like there are in Jiang City, so they definitely cannot issue supermarket shopping cards here.

According to President Chen's meaning, it should be replaced with some other benefits, as long as the amount remains unchanged.

Therefore, regarding the benefits, he also needs to calculate and make some corresponding adjustments.

"This is your contract; you can take a look. Your tentatively set position is Company Supervisor, with a salary of 15,000, full social insurance and housing fund contributions, and other benefits. However, due to regional issues, some benefits need to be changed. You know more about Beichuan City than I do, so you need to provide some suggestions for these changes."

Qin Hong said this while handing the contract in his hand to Wang Siyu.

Wang Siyu saw this and took the contract; the salary matter had already been discussed, so there was no surprise.

She opened the contract and read it carefully; her expression gradually became surprised.

Just now, when listening to Qin Hong talk about employee benefits, she didn't think much of it, just assuming it was some meal allowance or other benefits. But after seeing the content of the benefits, she was a bit surprised.

Meal allowance, travel allowance, housing allowance, and high-temperature subsidies; in the north, there would also be cold weather subsidies… etc.

In most current companies, these subsidies are all calculated into the normal salary; like this, where these subsidies are given separately, it is still very rare.

She roughly calculated the amount of these subsidies, and it was over 3,000.

Moreover, with the increase in years of service, the amount of these subsidies will also increase to varying degrees.

Take her current salary of 15,000; counting these benefits, she can get a salary of over 18,000.

And there are other benefits, such as holidays, with weekends off every week.

However, agriculture requires someone to manage it every day, so weekends off will probably be hard to implement.

Wang Siyu kept flipping through the contract, and the shock on her face never stopped.

Until she flipped to the last page and confirmed that there were no problems with the contract, she finally signed it.

Only when signing the contract did she suddenly notice: is the Jiuhan Agricultural Base under the Mingri Group?

This Mingri Group must be the investor behind the Jiuhan Agricultural Base, right?
