Chapter 354 Taking the Initiative
Cairo.
The local cultural exchange center set up by Sapiens Company has been busy these days.
The person in charge, Yashan, is a Siamese. He is holding an internal meeting at this time. The public relations team leaders of the Cairo branches of the three major network groups are all gathered here.
Yashan looked at everyone and said, "The company has issued a new mission, which is to advance to the entire Nile Delta Plain and to the towns and villages. We need population and labor."
One of the team leaders raised his hand and asked, "Do we need to recruit employees at the same time?"
Yashan nodded: "Yes, your focus is on farmers with no land or little land, and unemployed vagrants in cities and towns."
“Will the local farmers stop it?”
Yashan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. Many of those farmers are our partners. When you go there, each of you will get an internal list."
After more than two hours of discussion, Yashan finally arranged all the tasks.
Everyone returned to their offices and quickly assembled their teams to prepare for the field trips to various places tomorrow.
Early the next
Heidi had spent last night researching her own field trip route and the farmers along the way who had partnerships with the Sapiens company.
"Captain, are we going to the countryside?" a local temporary worker asked curiously.
"Yeah." Heidi replied while checking his exoskeleton armor and assault rifle.
Since they are going to the countryside, there is a certain degree of danger, so the new humans in these public relations teams are equipped with exoskeleton armor and assault rifles.
There are three new humans in their team.
Seeing those rifles and exoskeletons, one of the temporary workers showed a trace of worry on his face: "Captain, the countryside is not that dangerous, right? Isn't it redundant to carry an assault rifle?"
Heidi pulled the trigger and fired two shots at the ground, then warned seriously:
"Saga, never underestimate the madness and viciousness of the enemy. Those Europeans and North American pirates can't stand our good."
The temporary workers looked at each other in bewilderment.
The deputy captain Manghu, who is in charge of security work, has even more exaggerated equipment. He also has a special armed armored vehicle.
Haidi clapped her hands: "Everyone come here and get a pistol. You have been taught how to shoot and what to pay attention to before."
Saga took the pistol and five spare magazines, then inserted the pistol holster into the belt of his work clothes and placed the spare magazines in the waist bag on the other side.
"Remember, if you encounter anything unusual, draw your pistol immediately. Don't hesitate."
"I see."
After carrying weapons, equipment and promotional materials, they got on two vans, while Manghu followed behind in an armored vehicle with a temporary worker.
The group drove towards a small town west of Cairo.
Arriving at the first town.
Park directly in front of the mayor's office building.
Seeing the fully armed Haidi and others, the mayor of the town was also confused. He thought that these guys were here to perform combat missions. When he heard that they were here to promote the Homo Sapiens company and recruit, he looked at Haidi and his group with strange eyes.
However, the mayor was very tactful. He pretended not to see anything and cooperated with Heidi and his team in publicity and recruitment.
One of the vans had a large-screen player inside. It found a small square and started playing promotional and recruitment ads.
The residents of the town also stood around and watched. Apparently, eating melons is human nature.
The python sitting in the armored vehicle did not get out, but adjusted to the magnetic field vision mode through the retina screen, carefully observing the people around him, alert to possible emergencies.
"Dear fellow villagers, I am Haidi, an employee of Sapiens Company. I am here to recruit a group of new employees. Anyone interested can come and get a copy of Sapiens Introduction."
Several temporary workers quickly took a bunch of brochures and handed them to the onlookers around.
The onlookers did not refuse, and each of them took a thick introduction.
Then Haidi eloquently introduced the various benefits of Zhiren and the wonderful life after joining the company.
Temporary workers like Saga are not idle either. In addition to sending out introductions, they also need to explain to people who have doubts.
Several local young people were reading the introduction with conflicted expressions on their faces. Saga saw this and quickly approached:
"Brother, do you have any concerns?"
One of the round-faced young men said helplessly: "My father's leg is broken, I have to take care of him."
"I see. Then you should join us. Look here..."
As Saga spoke, he turned to page 17 of the introduction, which introduced the various medical and the care for the disabled.
The round-faced young man quickly turned to that page.
Saga looked at the other four young men and said, "What are your concerns? Tell me and I can give you some advice."
"After you go, can you come back?"
"I'm color blind..."
"Will the work be tiring? I haven't been to college."
Saga explained one by one.
After hearing the explanation, these people were immediately moved.
As Egypt's tourism industry has been affected by the global economic crisis, many locals who previously worked in tourist areas have now returned to live in the countryside.
These people are a well-informed group who have learned about Homo sapiens through the Internet, so they were the first to get temporary labor contracts.
Many small town youths like the round-faced young man cannot find jobs in big cities due to family, educational background, or physical reasons, and there are not so many jobs in small towns, so they are in a semi-unemployed state.
Now, after the explanation from the public relations team, we are finally planning to take the first step.
Of course, there are still many people who don’t believe it at all, thinking that Homo sapiens is lying and there must be some unknown conspiracy.
All kinds of people are making all kinds of choices.
Standing at the crossroads of life, some people choose to take risks and move forward, some choose to stay where they are, and some choose to take the shortcut.
For those who did not choose Sapiens, Heidi did not waste words.
After all, facts speak louder than words. After a year or two, those who have taken refuge with Homo sapiens will naturally report their living conditions back to their hometown.
After an afternoon of promotion, Heidi sorted out the data.
There are 273 people who have a clear intention to join Homo sapiens; 533 people have the idea of joining but are hesitant; and the others are just watching from the sidelines or are resistant.
This town has a total population of more than 20,000.
"The number of people is a bit small!" Another new human deputy captain Jin Zaiming looked at the data.
Haidi shook her head. "This is only the first day. We will advertise here for a week. We will recruit as many as we can. The labor shortage in the Red Sea Province is too big."
“Didn’t they introduce a large number of Dongba and Javanese immigrants?” Jin Zaiming took a sip of green tea.
Haidi clicked on the satellite communication and sent the data back to the Cairo Network Center: "Not enough. We have eight new cities planned in the Red Sea Province. Each city needs a population of at least 100,000, which means we need at least 800,000 people."
Manghu, who got off the armored vehicle, smiled and comforted him: "It is difficult to recruit the first batch of local employees. It was the same when we were in Hongsavadi. But after we complete the recruitment of the first batch of employees, the subsequent work will become easier and easier."
Haidi certainly knew this, after all, there was a network of relationships among the locals. With the arrival of the first batch of local employees, the true situation of the Sapiens company would spread to all parts of Egypt through this network.
