There is a company in Qingdao, Shandong, China, offering a monthly salary of 40,000 RMB (approximately NT$175,000) to recruit chicken farm managers, regardless of gender, annual leave and year-end bonus. But when it was announced that the place of work was Tanzania, a country far away in Africa, netizens who were originally interested in the job were silent. Some netizens bluntly said, “Tanzania is full of malaria and wars… No matter how much money you give, you won’t go there.” This special job position unexpectedly became a topic of discussion outside.

The most important thing is , willing to stay abroad for a long time, regardless of gender.
For the position of chicken farm manager, some netizens are indeed a little bit moved, and some people bluntly said, “There is nothing more terrible than poverty.” But there are sharp-eyed people who see that the place of work is far away in Africa. Tanzania, exclaimed, “No matter how much money is given, I will not go to that place in Tanzania. AIDS, malaria, famine, drought, war, terrorists, sudden aviation accidents…”.
The business owner who offered the job said that their salary and welfare conditions are definitely not arbitrary. As long as the factory manager has enough work experience, he is eligible to get the salary standard offered by the company, but the employer also admitted, ” However, the working environment there is still different from that in China, and it is relatively difficult.” Not everyone can adapt. And because this position requires rich experience in chicken breeding and management, young people under the age of 20 are not considered to apply.
