King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer Chapter 502 484: The Cook Pulls in Good Reviews

Joe Ga returned to the mansion for a day before heading back to the base.

Now there were a bunch of won and a sissy living there, and Boss Joe really couldn't stand it anymore.

Eric brought two female warriors from Ad-Damazin who were keen to try their luck in Arica, introduced them to Monica, then dove headlong into Princess Amina's enjoynt of the 'humanitarian corridor' and didn't co out.

Joe Ga was an idealist himself, but now with a Nordic sissy even more idealistic than him at Sangha Town, he was starting to feel like every day was a year.

Using the excuse of sending Chris off, Joe Ga had soone transport Chris to Bangui the next day to catch a comrcial flight, and then he himself returned to the base to find Lao Niu...

"What? Recruiting cooks?"

Facing Lao Niu's 'how could you disdain ' look, Joe Ga, who was in the base canteen, said with a spread of his hands, "I'm just looking for so helping hands, temporary workers, 200 of them, 20,000 a month, probably for about 3 to 4 months.

After a few months, they'd be able to take hundreds of thousands of yuan back to their hotowns, isn't that good?"

Lao Niu frowned and thought for a mont before saying, "Well, now that you ntion it, it's not impossible, but what do you need so many people for?

Handling the food and drink of tens of thousands isn't the sa as managing a thousand or so; it's not about having more people the better.

Besides, where am I supposed to find 200 field cooks who can handle guns?

Would other types of troops work? In the countryside back ho, there are plenty of veterans having a hard ti, all our own people, who doesn't know a thing or two about kitchen work?

Although they've never been cooks, a simple training should suffice to fool those foreigners."

After listening, Joe Ga shook his head and said, "I want professionals. Managing the food for forty or fifty thousand people is not sothing amateurs can handle.

200 professional cooks, 200 assistants, 400 laborers, that's the best configuration I can think of.

Business is about trust, and once the contract is signed, we have to make sure the clients are satisfied with the food."

Lao Niu looked at Joe Ga like he was looking at a fool and said, "Boss, if you don't understand the business, don't make wild suggestions.

Field canteens are tough work. Soone like is already keeping our base busy with just over a dozen people.

Do you believe that even if the base's manpower doubles, I could still handle you with the sa number of people?

200? 20 would be plenty!

I'll have Tony recruit 200 locals, give them a bit of training, and they'll be ready to work the stoves, guaranteed.

For material supply, things like washing vegetables and peeling, we can hire locals. A total of five or six hundred people will guarantee that your task is done right."

Joe Ga admittedly knew nothing about this, but he had seen factory canteens where indeed a master chef with a group of apprentices could manage the als for a thousand people.

Thinking Lao Niu wouldn't joke about such a matter, he nodded, "Let's not do 20 then, can you try to get in touch and bring 40.

You're definitely the expert, and I don't need anyone better than you, just those who have mixed in the army's cooking team and can manage beef and mutton."

Upon hearing this, Lao Niu proudly said, "That's right, you don't let fight, but when it cos to cooking, you have to listen to .

40 I definitely can't get, but I think I can possibly bring in 20 if I reach out to my old comrades.

But let's get it straight, there are basically no young ones, they're all around their 50s.

The current soldiers have different benefits from our ti. They get good salaries in the army and nowhere to spend it. After a few stints, they can take ho a tidy sum. Life is too comfortable now; I doubt they would want to co and muck about.

However, the generation of my old squad leader is different. I'll get in touch with them, and I reckon I can pull together about a dozen or so.

If you don't think that's enough, then you'll have to look for yourself in the market."

When Joe Ga heard this, he was a bit disappointed and said, "Over fifty? That's a bit tough at that age, right? And can they still take the hard labor?"

Lao Niu, a little displeased, said, "Listen to yourself. If you want to talk about anything else, I might not be sure, but when it cos to enduring hardship, haha...

They all have families to feed, with kids at the age of getting married. Do you know how much houses cost in China now?

If they don't earn more money while they can, do you think they'll have to rely on their debt-ridden children when they get older?"

As he spoke, Lao Niu glanced at Joe Ga and said, "My old squad leader was supposed to go for his fifth term, but he chose to let another comrade, whose family was struggling, take his spot and went ho to retire instead.

He later contracted a martial arts school's canteen and was doing quite well, but his son was no good, ssed around with so P2P lending, and blew the family's savings.

The martial arts school has closed down now, and he's at a loose end.

Boss, if you could be a little more flexible, my old squad leader could bring a few apprentices over."

Joe Ga looked at Lao Niu with a mischievous glint in his eye and said with a smile, "You've been waiting for here, haven't you?

How old is your old squad leader, and the place they are going to is Iraq; it's no joke there. Can he handle it?"

Lao Niu grinned and said, "My old squad leader was so good in the cooking team he almost made it to his fifth term. What do you think, can he handle it?

For three consecutive years, he was top three in the army's competition; his physical fitness and marksmanship were always first in our company. You tell , can he handle it?

Back in those days... ah, never mind the past...

He'll definitely manage, those apprentices, calling them apprentices, are actually brothers from our old unit."
