A layman in the courtyard

Chapter 124 Recruitment
When he got home, he saw two girls and three children playing with little Liangliang. Cao Zhihua went upstairs to take a shower, changed clothes and came down.

After the two girls saw Cao Zhihua coming back, they said happily:
"Zhihua, are you back so early?"

Cao Zhihua nodded and replied:
"Yes, things went smoothly. I'll be back after the discussion."

After speaking, Cao Zhihua picked up Xiao Liangliang and teased:

"Xiao Liangliang, call daddy."

"uncle."

"Call Dad."

"uncle."

Cao Zhihua looked at the coffee table, picked up a banana, peeled it and gave it to Xiao Liangliang to take a bite.

This soft, sweet fruit conquered Xiao Liangliang immediately. She danced in Cao Zhihua's arms and clamored for more. Cao Zhihua put the banana in front of Xiao Liangliang:

"Little Liangliang calls daddy. If you call daddy, I'll give it to you."

"dad"

After Cao Zhihua heard this, he laughed and handed the banana to Xiao Liangliang to eat.

When Chen Xueru saw Cao Zhihua teasing her son like this, she rolled her eyes, reached out and took her son over and said:

"Don't let your son eat all the time, or your son won't eat again later."

Cao Zhihua smiled awkwardly and said:

"Okay, what shall we have for lunch? After dinner we will go to the newspaper to place an advertisement and start recruiting housekeepers and maids."

Chen Xueru and Lou Xiao'e were happy when they heard about the recruitment. With a house of 3000 square meters and a garden outside, they were exhausted from the daily hygiene at home these days.

Although it is not impossible to endure this hardship, who wouldn't want to live a more comfortable life?
Lou Xiao'e ran up the stairs and said while running

"Great, Zhihua, I'll show you the house rules I made."

After a while, Cao Zhihua took the house rules handed over by Lou Xiao'e. He looked at them and found that they were basically what Cao Zhihua and Lou Xiao'e had said during their exchange. After thinking about it, he said:
"How do you plan to set the housekeeper's salary?"

Lou Xiao'e thought for a while and said:
"How about 1000 yuan a month?"

"It's not that good. We can't let her get the same salary as the people she manages. This will cause separation. Moreover, the position of the housekeeper is very important. She is basically responsible for all aspects of the operation of our family, so the salary should be higher to allow her to make mistakes. The cost is higher, and you can manage her better.”

Lou Xiao'e said curiously:
"How much is appropriate?"

Cao Zhihua thought for a while
"Basically all the food, clothing and housing are taken care of at home. The salary is 2000, which is 10 times the salary of an ordinary maid. I believe that as long as the money is in place, other problems will not be too big. This is more touching than painting a cake."

Lou Xiao'e frowned and said:
"Then our monthly expenses are huge."

Cao Zhihua asked curiously, how much does it cost per month?

“The salary of these people alone is almost 3 yuan.”

Cao Zhihua said with a smile:

"It's okay. Money earned is spent. Since our family is so rich, we must learn to use money to make money and use money to solve problems.

When you can skillfully use money to control social resources and people and help us solve problems, then you will have grown up.Let’s do it step by step, we are still young anyway, let’s work together. "

Lou Xiao'e and Chen Xueru looked confused after listening to Cao Zhihua's words. This was completely different from the education they had received when they grew up.

Cao Zhihua doesn't want to waste too much saliva. Many things can only be understood after experiencing them. If you haven't experienced them, no matter how much you say, it's useless.In previous lives, domestic society has used money to control people's hearts and social resources to the extreme.

It doesn't matter if Lou Xiao'e and Chen Xueru don't understand now. They still have themselves. In the future, if they find problems and solve them, they can teach them slowly.

After eating, Cao Zhihua set off with Chen Xueru and Lou Xiao'e.

"Lou En, first go to the office address of Oriental Daily News on Lock Road, Wan Chai District."

"Okay, sir."

After arriving at Oriental Daily, after greetings, Cao Zhihua said directly to the editor-in-chief of Oriental Daily:

"Editor Fang, how much does a full front page cost per day?"

When Editor-in-Chief Fang heard what Cao Zhihua said, he thought it was a big fish, so he said happily:
"Mr. Cao, our Oriental Daily is now ranked among the top five in Hong Kong Island in terms of circulation. No one has used the entire front page for advertising in so many years, so there is no clear price yet, do you think?"

Cao Zhihua thought for a moment that it was indeed a waste to use front-page advertisements to recruit housekeepers and maids, so he changed his words:

"Editor-in-Chief Fang, let's go with your existing advertising prices and I'll see if there's anything suitable. After all, I don't have to advertise in Oriental Daily."

Upon hearing this, Editor-in-Chief Fang took out the price template of Oriental Daily and showed it to Cao Zhihua. Cao Zhihua looked at it and chose a full-page third page with a one-day advertising space of 300 yuan in Hong Kong paper.said:
"Editor-in-Chief Fang, I will submit this page for three days."

Editor-in-chief Fang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Cao Zhihua still chose to invest in advertising. After all, the competition in the newspaper industry in Hong Kong is also very fierce. The entire Oriental Daily has not yet made a profit. It is the boss who invests money to operate the newspaper. Although Boss Ma invested money to run the newspaper, the main He still valued the social status that the newspaper brought him to help his family, but being able to spend more on advertising would also prove his worth.So he said:

"Mr. Cao, there is no problem. Please confirm with our editor what content you need to create for your advertisement."

Cao Zhihua nodded and said to the editor:

"I'm posting a recruitment advertisement, looking for a housekeeper, female, no more than 30 years old, as long as she has management experience. It doesn't matter whether she has housekeeping experience or not. Salary will be interviewed.

We are also recruiting 10 maids. They are required to be female, not older than 16 years old, and must be diligent and honest.

There are two other chefs. Those with chef experience are preferred. They are required to be female. There is no age limit. "

Editor-in-chief Fang was a little dumbfounded when he heard that he spent so much money just to recruit housekeeping staff. He really didn't know where the young master came from.

"No problem, Mr. Cao, do you have any other requests?"

Cao Zhihua thought for a while, left the phone number in the living room, and asked the newspaper to write down the interview process clearly. He had to make an appointment by phone before he could come to his home for the interview.

"No problem, Mr. Cao, will you start publishing in the newspaper tomorrow?"

"Yes, starting tomorrow, we will log in for three consecutive days."

"Ok, no problem."

Cao Zhihua signed a contract with Oriental Daily. After paying the money, he went to Chai Wan to find Ming Pao. He ordered the same advertisement, but it started to appear in the newspaper three days later. There was no need for two newspapers to appear on the same day.

Cao Zhihua's current approach is different from that of the big families in Hong Kong. Nowadays, the big families in Hong Kong hire people through referrals from acquaintances, so that they know the basics. However, he does not have the resources in this area, and he does not want to find someone to help him with such a small matter. I owe a favor, and anyway, less than 2000 Hong Kong paper can solve the problem, so it would be best to solve it with money.

As for recruiting people, Cao Zhihua is not worried at all.

Hong Kong Island is now overcrowded, with more than 300 million people crowded into a small place. There are not enough profitable jobs and too few ways to make money, and it is crowded with cheap labor.

Nowadays, a family of 6-7 people in Hong Kong works hard for a day, and it would be great to have 8 or 10 yuan to support the whole family.

And such part-time work is not something you can get every day.
