Chapter 91: Chapter 89: Astonishing Salary

After listening to the detailed introduction from the animal protection department and the information they had collected, Lin Feng ordered a batch of food based on their description of the situation.

When they heard he planned to continue feeding the animals, they were delighted and offered him a lot of advice.

This was originally the animal protection department’s responsibility, but the county’s funding was simply not enough to solve the food problem for the animals around Lin Xian Village.

The situation in Lin Xian Village was also quite complex. They had no way of resolving animal migration caused by environmental impacts like this.

A few minutes after seeing those people off and returning to his courtyard, Accountant Chen arrived and handed him a payroll sheet.

"Boss, this is this month’s payroll. Please take a look, and if there are no problems, sign at the bottom."

Lin Feng was taken aback for a moment before realizing it was already November. ’I’ll have to ask Hu Zhiming how the Lord’s Mansion is coming along later,’ he thought.

They said it would be finished by the end of October, and now it was November. It should be just about done.

"Last month was pretty good. All the employees who started with us earned over six thousand in salary."

And keep in mind, these people hadn’t even worked a full month. Otherwise, their pay would have been even higher.

Accountant Chen said, "The bonuses you give are high. Last month’s ticket revenue alone was over three million."

To be honest, when Accountant Chen drew up the financial statements, he hadn’t expected the figure to be so high either.

This was mainly because after the Medicinal Tea was promoted, the patients who came to buy it would also spend some time exploring Lin Xian Village.

Next month’s revenue would only be higher, and everyone’s income would exceed ten thousand.

The main reason was the 5% bonus the boss offered. It didn’t seem like much at first, but once the profits were high enough, it became a terrifyingly large amount.

With this month’s payroll reform, many employees’ salaries would skyrocket.

Moreover, the boss didn’t even factor his own massive capital investments into the profit calculation. Where could you find such a conscientious boss?

Lin Feng was also pleased. ’Finally, I’m not just spending money without any income.’

In less than a month, he had already spent over ten million.

With various infrastructure projects getting underway, and considering construction in the mountains was much more expensive than on flat land, he wasn’t sure if the remaining money would be enough to clear the mountain paths.

Now that there was money coming back in, he didn’t have to worry about a lack of funds for future investments.

After he signed, Accountant Chen left with the payroll report. The exciting news quickly spread among the employees of Lin Xian Village.

Many employees used their free time to run to the accounting office and ask about their salaries.

When Yu Hua walked out of the accounting office, he was completely stunned. After social security deductions, he still had over seven thousand left.

He had only worked for about twenty days this month, not even a full month, yet his income was this high.

He had thought that earning over five thousand would be great. This surprise was too sudden.

And, according to the accountant, as long as the number of tourists in Lin Xian Village didn’t decrease, next month’s salary would be even higher.

When it was time to get off work in the evening, everyone had a smile on their face, even the newly hired employees.

Some employees who stayed for the night shift were now incredibly motivated. This was all about the money!

Ma Sandao stood in the crowd. He had to finish making dinner here before he could go home.

He felt an extraordinary sense of satisfaction. ’I really made the right choice this time.’

When he ran his own restaurant, he worked himself to the bone for a month and earned, at most, a little over twenty thousand.

Based on this month’s salary, forget twenty thousand next month—he might even make forty or fifty thousand.

Niu Sihai said, "Brother Ma, thank you."

Liang Damao also said, "Brother Ma, come to my place for a drink tonight."

The two of them were even happier than Ma Sandao. In the past, they could have worked themselves to death and never earned this much.

At the same time, the performance troupes, who had only been working for a few days, let out a huge cheer.

They never imagined they could earn over two thousand, most of which was from bonuses.

Everyone did a quick calculation. At this rate, their income next month would definitely be over ten thousand.

"Junior Sister Youyou, thank you!"

"We love you, Junior Sister Youyou! If it weren’t for you, we would have missed this opportunity."

"Thank goodness we didn’t let that old geezer, the Class Leader, ruin this chance for us. We would have regretted it forever."

Qin Youyou was also very happy. At her current salary, she should be able to afford a new house for her family in just a few months.

Of course, if it were possible, she hoped to have her own house in Lin Xian Village.

The environment here was so good. If she could bring her mother to live here, her health would surely improve.

Ding Haolian was also thrilled. ’We really made the right choice this time. The pressure on my family will finally ease a bit.’

In the room next door, Wu Xiuhua, the former boss of the dance troupe, felt a complex mix of emotions.

If she had insisted on starting her own company and just partnering with Lin Xian Village back then, she would be regretting it so much right now she’d want to slap herself.

Looking at the girls’ happy smiles, she said, "Everyone, we need to properly choreograph our new dances. Only by performing more spectacular dances can we earn a higher income."

"Understood, Sister Wu! We guarantee we’ll complete the task."

Before getting paid, they had been a little worried. Now, they were filled with passion.

As for the clay sculpture performance troupe, it was an even bigger contrast. Their previous performance income had made it difficult to even support their families.

Compared to now, it was like the difference between heaven and earth. This made them cherish their current opportunity even more.

They had originally been somewhat resistant to change, but now they were starting to think about creating new acts.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng, Hu Xia, and a few others gathered together, looking at Lin Xian Village’s revenue in disbelief.

Hu Zhiming exclaimed with emotion, "I never would have thought the tourism industry was so profitable!"

He realized that Lin Xian Village’s revenue next month might even surpass that of his family’s factory.

Hu Xia said, "With such a high volume of visitors, it would be strange if the revenue wasn’t this high.

Next month, because of the Arrow Tower’s price reduction and the package tickets, the revenue should drop a little, but the performance side will make up for it."

"If there were more Houses, the revenue would be even higher."

Right now, the Houses in Lin Xian Village were in short supply every day. A large number of tourists had no choice but to take the bus back to Wuyuan County at night.

"Don’t just look at how much we’re earning; I’ve invested a lot, too. I’ve already spent over ten million this month.

Our focus this month is still on construction. Does anyone see any other issues?"

Zhao Shiyun was the first to raise her hand. "The Medicine House needs to hire people. The simple herb processing can be handed off to others.

Daoist Feng spends all day processing those herbs; it’s a bit of a waste of his time."

Hearing this, Lin Feng glanced at the requirements for the Medicine House and realized that this was actually possible.

The initial herb processing didn’t require a Pharmacist; only the actual production of the medicine required one.

Although the Medicine House now used some modern auxiliary tools, mass production was still impossible.

"Then go ahead and hire people. Recruit four more assistants for herb processing. But—and this is important—the Medicinal Tea and pills must be made personally by you and Daoist Feng."

"We know."

Zhao Shiyun just disliked thinking; she wasn’t a fool. Some information she had received from her family had revealed the secret of the Medicinal Tea and pills to her.

Only the ones she and Daoist Feng made would have that special effect. Products made by anyone else simply wouldn’t work.

Neither of them had tried to get to the bottom of the matter.

"Zhiming, how is the construction of the Lord’s Mansion coming along?"

"It’s almost done. If there hadn’t been a problem with installing some components, it would have been finished long ago."

"Alright. Let me know when it’s built. You should also keep an eye on the other construction projects I assigned."

"Don’t worry, I’m watching them every day."

That night, as the employees of Lin Xian Village returned to their homes, the news spread quickly, giving some people in Wuyuan County ideas.
