“As CEO Kim said, we are in the process of recruiting young farmers.”
Venture Crowd has been advertising the recruitment of young farmers since the funding of Jirisan farmers.
At that time, a specific schedule was not confirmed. This is because they said they would announce the schedule after the funding was over.
The number of young farmers recruited through contracts in Dubai has also doubled.
I delivered the specific details of recruiting young farmers to Daeshik Engineering.
“Now that the Dubai contract has been successfully completed, many young farmers will gather.”
“I hope many young people will be interested.”
“Thanks to the performance of the CEO, many people are already interested. Of course, we will know more through marketing.”
Both eyes twinkled in the glasses.
“We made a slogan.”
He handed me a piece of paper with a slogan on it.
‘From Antarctica to Dubai, fulfill the dream of a young farmer.’
it’s my favorite slogan It reminded me of the moment I was traveling between Antarctica and Dubai.
“I want to do marketing through internet advertising. It’s a medium most young people come into contact with.”
“Okay, don’t worry about the advertising cost, and run it.”
“I will pay more attention to it than when it comes to funding. I know the heart of CEO Kim Deok-myung.”
He remembered what I said on the show.
I said recruiting young farmers is as important as funding.

The marketing of the venture crowd and the image of the farmers in Jiri Mountain moved the hearts of the young people.
There were over 3,000 young farmer volunteers.
We reviewed resumes and self-introductions by dividing them by fields of support such as cultivation and planning, technology, research, and distribution.

Me and my colleagues were busy looking at our resumes.
Han Gi-tak said while reviewing his resume.
“I didn’t know that so many people would apply.”
“It means that they appreciate the vision of the farmers in Jirisan.”
“Well, there is no other place with a vision as big as ours. It is the best in Korea when it comes to cutting-edge agricultural technology.”
Han Ki-tak said with a relaxed expression.
“How are you, do you have any good friends?”
“I think there are a lot of special people among the applicants.”
“special?”
“People who dream like the farmers in Jirisan.”

Now only the interview was left.
There were a lot of interviewers, so the interview had to be divided into several days.
When the interview started, Hadong was filled with young people.
It is unusual for hundreds of young people to visit Hadong.
This was unprecedented when Hadong University was founded.

On the first day of the interview, Kim Chang-dae, a former governor of Hadong, visited the training center.
He said looking at the young farmer volunteers.
“I never thought in my whole life that a day like this would come.”
“Are you surprised by so many people?”
“I am more impressed than surprised. I think Hadong is coming to life. Kim Deok-myeong is saving the area.”
“It’s all thanks to the governor’s help.”
“I’m just a former governor.”
he said in a humble tone.
Then the old age came upon us.
She handed a paper bag to Kim Chang-dae and me.
“Eat this.”
“what is this?”
“A snack for young farmer volunteers.”
This is a honey yakgwa made with ranch milk and grandmother Kim Kkot-nim.
Kim Chang-dae took a bite of the medicine and made a pleasant expression.
I also ate milk and medicine with him.
I always feel it, but the combination of honey yakgwa and ranch milk was good.
“I think the applicants will be excited too.”
Kim Chang-dae smiled and said.
Kim Sang-cheol also came forward and was handing out honey pills and milk to the volunteers.
It was good to see the seniors taking care of the young farmers of the future.

Now it’s time for the interview.
The training center auditorium had been turned into an interview site.
The candidates were waiting for their turn.
There were many experienced people in the technical and research areas. It is an encouraging phenomenon.
The field with the lowest average age was the field of cultivation and planning that I was responsible for.
These are the people who will become experts in hydroponics in the future.
I watched the screening with Han Ki-tak and Min Yo-han.
“What motivated you to apply to the Jirisan farmers?”
“What is your goal?”
We asked them about their motivations and goals for their support.
Various answers came back.
I wanted to hire a young farmer with clear motives and goals.
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Many applicants passed me by.
There were some who stood out for their spirit, but they didn’t like it.
It was a time when I was tired of the one-size-fits-all answers from applicants.
A slender candidate appeared in front of me.
He has a boyish face, but he is a young man in his twenties.
“What motivated you to apply to the Jirisan farmers?”
“I want to make my dream come true here.”
“What is your dream?”
“It’s about enriching the world with farming.”
I remembered his face.
He was a kid from the candle school.
200 young farmers
The applicant’s name is Seong-yoon Seong.
He did not reveal in his resume and cover letter that he came from a candle school. Still, there is a reason I remember his face clearly.
Two years ago, I went to Candle School on an urgent phone call from Jeong Ga-hee.
It was because of an incident in which a child fell during a beekeeping class. The child inadvertently touched the hive and was stung by a bee.
It was something an ordinary person would take lightly. But the child was different.
It provoked a anaphylactic shock reaction to bee stings. He had rashes all over his body, and his blood pressure dropped so badly that he lost consciousness.
He was a person who was sensitive to certain antigens. They were particularly sensitive to bee venom.
I met him at the hospital. He was drenched in sap.
Jeong Ga-hee reassured me that there would be no problems. Fortunately, he was hospitalized and recovered.
Interestingly, he continued to take beekeeping classes after the accident.
Jeong Ga-hee tried to dry it, but he trembled, saying that it is necessary to do well with safety equipment.
The child who was in the hospital at that time is now sitting in front of me. Now I am a young farmer volunteer.
The long, slender eyes have not changed since then.
I asked him.
“You said that farming enriches the world, have you thought of a specific way?”
“I am thinking of crowdfunding.”
Seong-yoon said with a confident face.
Ki-tak Han and Yo-han Min, who were watching the review with me, also responded to that. I started looking at him carefully.
“What do you mean by crowdfunding?”
“It’s a way for a farmer to post a farming plan on the site, and the consumer pays in advance.”
“Are you paying me in advance?”
“Yes, the farmer measures the amount of agricultural products to be produced with the funds secured in advance, and produces only a set amount. That way, I think we will be able to harvest a good quality crop.”
“What happens if a farmer fails to keep his promise due to a natural disaster, etc.?”
He paused for a moment, as he spoke softly.
I asked an unexpected question.
He opened his mouth carefully.
“For farmers, natural disasters are the biggest challenge. It is also the reason why I applied to the young farmer. I want to overcome natural disasters with cutting-edge agriculture.”
“Good answer.”
This is the moment Sung Yoon rises from his seat.
Han Ki-tak asked him.
“Where did you get the idea for farming crowdfunding?”
“I got the idea from seeing the farmers in Jirisan.”
“You saw us and got an idea?”
Han Ki-tak tilted his head and asked.
“I got the idea from seeing the funding of local farmers in Jirisan. They raised money from people to build large-scale hydroponics. Even though I have little money, I participated in the funding.”
“That means that. I see.”
Han Gi-tak gave a satisfied expression.
* * *
It was the day after the marathon interview that lasted for several days.
Han Ki-tak said with a smile.
“I have good news today.”
“What news?”
“I have been contacted by Ho-hyung Jang, a patent attorney.”
Hohyeong Jang is a patent attorney at ‘One-Stop Patent’. He was in charge of patents for farmers in Jirisan.
The domestic patent application had already been completed, and it was waiting for an international patent.
“Now we are done with international patents.”
Han Ki-tak handed over the documents from ‘One-Stop Patent’.
As he said, an international patent for vertical cultivation has been issued.
“How about a small drink today?”
“A day like this, shall we all go together?”
“There are too many meetings these days. Last time there was a lot of bleeding at a Korean restaurant.”
These are the words of the Jirisan farmers.
“like. I’m going to keep it modest today. I have something to say quietly.”
“Do you have something to say quietly?”
That evening, I went to a regular food stall with Han Gi-tak.
The boss happily greeted us.
Han Gi-tak laughed and cried.
“Please give me a eel and a bottle of soju.”
Han Gi-tak asked before the soju even came out.
“Now tell me. Say you want to be quiet.”
“I haven’t even had a drink yet.”
“Am I in too much of a hurry?”
Soju and bean sprout soup came out while he was scratching his head.
There were also semi-dried squid that I didn’t order.
“Auntie, the squid came out wrong.”
Han Ki-tak looked at the boss and said.
“It’s a service.”
“Give us service from the start today, what good are you doing?”
“Good job.”
“What’s going on?”
“Thanks to the farmers of Jirisan Mountain, our sales will go up.”
The boss, who had a humble impression, said with a smile. Hadong people knew that Jirisan farmers were recruiting young farmers.
She was also watching us with affection.
“If there’s something I’m lacking, just tell me, and I’ll cook it for you as soon as possible.”
“Yeah, my aunt is the best.”
Han Gi-tak raised his thumb and said.
I had a drink with him. The cold soju ran down my throat.
Han Gi-tak chewed the squid and asked.
“Tell me now.”
“Do you remember my friend Seong Do-yoon?”
“Of course I remember, the applicant who talked about crowdfunding farming. He liked him.”
“Sung Do-yoon applicant, from the candle school.”
“You’re from Candle School?”
Han Gi-tak, who was chewing the squid, opened his mouth.
a surprised face I was just surprised.
This is because Sung Yoon did not mention anywhere that he was from the candle school.
“Really? I don’t think there was such a word in your resume or cover letter?”
“I hid that the kids were from candle school.”
“children? So, does that mean there were more than Seong-yoon?”
“Right. Besides Seong-yoon, there were several others.”
Han Gi-tak looked at me with thoughtful eyes.
“Why did you hide that you were from the Candle School?”
“I think he was trying not to harm other applicants.”
“Because the arms are bent inward. If you say you came from the candle school, it might be advantageous to the judges.”
Han Ki-tak drank a glass of soju and said.
“But how did you know that?”
“I got to know him through Nam Ah-young. The candle school kids said they made a promise to each other. I saw familiar faces, including Seong-yoon, so I asked Nam-young. After the interview, he talked to me naturally.”
“I’m impressed! The fact that the children who were given scholarships by the Jirisan farmers became young farmer volunteers? You have grown up so well!”
Han Gi-tak’s eyes were moist. He seemed like a really impressed person.
Then the boss came with eel.
She looked at Han Ki-tak and asked.
“Are you drunk already?”
“Are you drunk? It hasn’t even started yet.”
“The eyes are drunken eyes… … ?”
She groaned and walked away.
“I never thought the candle school kids would apply.”
“Me too.”
“Anyway, it feels good!”
Han Ki-tak raised his glass and said. I had a drink with him.
The taste was good because it reminded me of children.
“Oh, and I will go to Sangju tomorrow. Seniors, please contact the successful candidates.”
“Okay, I’ll take care of the contact. But what happened in Sangju?”
“I want to meet Mr. Hwang Yu-shin.”

After a long time, I found the owner.
