Chapter 2051 - 2054: Settling the Restless Monsters
Upon hearing Shen Qiang's words, the eyes of the Great Demons present instantly lit up, because ever since the existence of Cultivators, peaceful coexistence between Demons and Cultivators has been the dream of all Demons. But now, the presence of Shen Qiang has already allowed Demons to live safely around Heshenghe Mountain Villa, and if there's enough economic income, this place would simply be Heaven for Demons."Mr. Shen, I don't quite understand what you mean." The Supreme Demon Geng Jingyi spoke, not only with a changed look in his eyes but also with a tone that inexplicably carried a bit more respect.
The other Great Demons also looked at Shen Qiang with eager faces.
"What I mean is simple, Heshenghe will not unjustly harm any Demons, and it will never unjustly expel any people, whether they are humans or Cultivators. Rest assured, you can live around Heshenghe Mountain Villa. As long as you obey the rules and don't cause trouble, anyone from Heshenghe who dares to make trouble for you, I will deal with them."
Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Not only that, as the owner of Heshenghe and the King of Demons, I also hope you can live a prosperous and happy life, to truly enjoy life. That's why I am planning to outsource some of Heshenghe's peripheral work."
"In this way, many Demons who are either unwilling or unable to join Heshenghe can also make a living. As long as you are willing to work, you will earn a lot of money, possibly even more than the internal employees of Heshenghe."
Hearing this, the Demons present, whether brought by Geng Jingyi or the Mountain Demon, all had their eyes brightened.
"Can we earn a lot of money? Can we even eat whole roasted piglets?"
"Earn no less than Heshenghe internal members?"
Everyone's eyes were filled with excitement.
And at this moment, Geng Jingyi said, "Mr. Shen, are you saying you want to hire us to work?"
Hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "You could understand it that way, but from my perspective, I just hope you can live more dignified lives. After all, you are Great Demons; living worse than Heshenghe's guard dog is truly heartbreaking."
Instantly, Geng Jingyi fell silent.
If placed a few hundred years ago, in an era where mechanical civilization was not advanced,
a Demon could do things that dozens or even hundreds of people couldn't do.
But times have changed. The productivity brought by technological civilization is something even Demons cannot compete with.
Loading and transporting, these physical tasks are no longer their strong suit.
Assembly line produced products, all uniform and intricately crafted, far surpass their handmade efforts.
Doing business?
If truly capable of it, they would have done it long ago.
Rather than saying Heshenghe needs them, it's more that Shen Qiang, out of goodwill, offered them a lifeline.
So, despite Shen Qiang's words being blunt and harsh, neither Geng Jingyi nor the other Great Demons present could say a word, as this was the reality. Heshenghe actually doesn't lack people right now; the reason for offering them work is simply that Shen Qiang doesn't want them causing trouble and unsettling the Mountain Villa.
"I understand what you mean." The Supreme Demon Geng Jingyi sighed and said, "Thank you, King of Demons, for your consideration. Can you reveal the details of your plan?"
Hearing this, all the Great Demons focused on Shen Qiang.
Shen Qiang smiled and said, "The current preliminary plan is to contract out some inconsequential peripheral work to you. Of course, as individuals, that won't work. You need to form a company, select a person in charge, and then, just like ordinary company employees, I will assign you some work to do. And then, you will be paid for your labor. This way, your life can truly stabilize, and this place can truly be your Paradise."
Hearing this, a Great Demon hesitated and said, "Ordinary people earn only a few thousand a month, and it's hard for us to know how to make ends meet with that kind of money."
Shen Qiang smiled, "The guaranteed minimum is three times the salary of an average person. If you want to earn more, you'll have to work even harder."
Glancing at Geng Jingyi, Shen Qiang continued, "Not only that, but I am also leaving you a path for advancement. As long as you work hard and perform well, you won't need to worry about having no future. The 15th of every month will be Heshenghe's recruitment day, and you are welcome to apply to join Heshenghe at any time."
Hearing this, Geng Jingyi's eyes showed doubt, "Am I to understand that you want us to become your peripheral subordinates?"
Shen Qiang laughed and raised an eyebrow, "If we drill down to the essence, that's what it means. You can't possibly think I need fathers and invite you all home to worship you, right?"
Instantly, the many Great Demons fell silent.
But they all understood in their hearts.
There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
If they want to live peacefully around Heshenghe, they have to work for Shen Qiang.
Oh, Shen Qiang builds a big house and opens a restaurant, and then others can just live there and eat and drink for free?
There's no such thing that makes sense anywhere.
"Then concerning specific things we need to discuss with you..." Geng Jingyi hesitated.
Shen Qiang smiled and said, "How you address me isn't important. People from Heshenghe call me boss, and you can call me Shen Qiang or the King of Demons. I don't care about these things, but I'm very serious when I say this is your only chance to live in Paradise."
"Because apart from Heshenghe, it's hard to find a suitable job around here. After all, dealing with those ordinary people who are only good at scheming is not pleasant."
Hearing this, Geng Jingyi said, "I understand. As Demons, the paradise we've always wanted is a place where we don't have to worry about being hunted or lack food and clothing. That is our ultimate desire. If you can truly provide us with all this, we would be willing to call you our boss."
"That's good. Since you know what you want, I can provide it, but the premise is that you must abide by my rules." Shen Qiang smiled.
Before Geng Jingyi could speak, many Demons beside him had already begun to react.
"Damn, if we can earn money without joining Heshenghe, what are we messing around with the Mountain Demon for?"
"Exactly, always on edge, living lives of constant killing and fear, I've had enough of that."
"Sigh, if we can live properly, who would want to live on the edge every day?"
Hearing what these Great Demons said, Geng Jingyi immediately looked at Shen Qiang, "Great kindness, King of Demons. On behalf of my brothers, thank you in advance. Please tell us the specific rules. As long as they don't defy the natural order, we will do whatever you ask us to do."
Shen Qiang smiled.
At the same time, those Great Demons who came with the Mountain Demon immediately changed their expressions.
"King of Demons, we agree as well!"
Seeing so many Great Demons instantly stand on the same side, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Very well, as long as you follow the rules and agree with Heshenghe's business philosophy, you're all welcome."
