Roy thought about his future life without food and clothing, and picked up half of the fried chicken thighs, and ate them all in his mouth without wasting anything.

After eating the burger and fried chicken, Roy took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Ulysses, in order to surpass Bill Gates in the future, the focus of our business has been adjusted. ”

Ulysses cheered excitedly: "Is there a new plan again?" It's amazing, it's exciting to think about. ”

Excited about your uncle, awesome for your whole family.

Roy complained in his heart, but the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, solemn, mysterious, and natural, he continued: "That's right, the future with endless wealth is really exciting.

"So now, the most important thing we should do is to work hard, accumulate steadily, forge our abilities in the work, and soar in the future."

"Lying on the salary? Soaring? Ulysses tasted the story behind the words, his eyes slowly became brighter and brighter from confusion, and he exclaimed excitedly: "It is worthy of being a boss, and it is indeed the ultimate road that can change the world and create a new era." I'm so lucky to be by the boss's side. ”

"Ahem...... It's okay, it's okay. Roy looked at the other party and encouraged: "Let's move on and work hard as before." God favors the diligent people. ”

Roy didn't know what to say about the praise of the other party's serious fandom, his vanity was satisfied, but the pressure on his shoulders had also increased a lot.

Hey, it's really tiring to pretend to be a high-ranking person, and I can't cope with the skills of an old driver who doesn't have the skills of the bone marrow.

"God always favors the diligent?" Ulysses's eyes lit up, and he didn't know where to take out a palm-sized notepad, excitedly recorded this famous sentence, read it several times, and then asked contentedly: "BOSS, what are we going to do now?" ”

Right now?

Roy took out an old newspaper from under the table a few days ago, flipped directly to the recruitment area, picked up the pen, chattered through the void, quickly identified several recruiting companies, and said calmly: "I have seen the potential behind these companies, which is very worthy of our learning, without further ado, we will go to the interview immediately." ”

Roy tore off the newspaper recruitment board, folded it and put it in his pocket, turned to Ulysses, and said, "Take action, man, God has said that a person who is vigorous and resolute is 100 times more likely to succeed than a person who acts the next day." ”

"Oh!" Ulysses was amazed and quickly took out a notepad to write down the famous quote.

You've been abducted and brainwashed like this, does your mother know?

The corners of Roy's mouth twitched slightly, and he really wanted to give him a kick.

It's only March now, it's still a little cold outside, and I don't feel like I'm going out to wrap my coat tightly.

Roy now lives in a high-rise apartment building in San Francisco, two blocks away from a slum, and I've heard that it's chaotic and 100 percent robbed when commuting by bicycle, but luckily Roy is safe and sound.

The rent of this small apartment is more than $400 a month, and Roy paid half a year's rent a few days ago, squandering the last bit of his family's money.

He and Ulysses famously went out to "pan for gold and start a business", brought a lot of clothes, and now there is a place to stay, as long as they save money, get a little money, and stay up until next month's salary, life should return to normal.

If those creditors can't find it for a while.

Roy roughly screened a few companies for interviews, and while waiting for the bus, he was thinking about a big question - what skills would he have?!

As an Internet trendsetter in his previous life, he knows a little bit about marketing and management, but now it is useless, and the development of the times is far from that extent. As a childish young man who didn't even get a high school degree and was less than 20 years old, he didn't believe that any company that was crazy would give him a team belt.

As a result, the jobs that are most likely to pass the interview are those in manual labor occupations, such as couriers, trucking, food delivery, cashiers, restaurant dishwashers, or street cleaners.

Roy glanced to the side, Ulysses was still so energetic, he didn't know the cruelty of reality, the awkwardness of the situation, he had a smile on his face, and he didn't know what a bright future to fantasize about.

Hey, if Roy was alone, he wouldn't mind finding a restaurant, enduring a humiliating job for a few months, and then saving up a few months of subsistence money before changing to a potential job.

However, the little brother next to him followed him expectantly, if he did this kind of work, it would be better to hang himself, which would be more decent.

Suddenly, Roy thought of another possibility, there is another profession that does not require academic qualifications - salesman.

Promote the company's products through telemarketing, face-to-face sales or event marketing.

But as a decent boss, it's also frustrating to do this kind of work, because before you make a deal, you need to brag about the product, you need to be smiling, you need to avoid the important, you will face countless rejections, and each rejection is a denial of you, and as the omnipotent Super-BOSS in Ulysses's heart, he will definitely lose trust in himself when he sees himself being abused by customers.

However, according to the "sunk cost" of psychology, Ulysses has continued to invest 100,000 dollars in me, and he subconsciously wants to prove that he is doing the right thing, not a foolish, absurd, wrong decision, otherwise it is equivalent to denying himself. He is now like a debtor who is in debt, stubbornly convinced that I can work miracles and prove his own judgment.

All the time on the bus, Roy was still looking back and forth through the job postings, for a poor boy with no education, no skills, and no background, it would be strange if there was a decent job.

It's so brutal to survive in every part of the world.

This TMD is embarrassed. Is the old driver going to overturn?

After more than half an hour on the bus, they got off the bus, and there was still about half an hour away from the company they were going to interview.

It was past noon, and Roy walked slowly, full of confidence on the surface, neither humble nor arrogant, but anxious in his heart, hoping that it would get dark early, so that he could have an extra night to delay decently.

Ah, Roy was a little broken inside, he didn't expect that he would live on hypocrisy.

Turning a street corner, he saw a store that rented and sold videos, and he silently made a decision, the situation is stronger than people, so let hypocrisy be carried out to the end.

"Ulysses, let's take a look at the store, and my piercing eyes tell me that there are endless business opportunities here."

"It's a boss, and I can't hide anything from your eyes."

The video store is very large, with an area of more than 200 square meters, and rows of shelves are filled with rental and sale of movies, TV series and videotapes, as well as some music album MVs.

There are basically no thin round discs, and the discs on display are all rectangular video boxes.

Above each shelf is the Blockbuster logo, which is extremely conspicuous, eye-catching, and proud, proving its status as a giant and dominant company.

"Sure enough, it's BesTV." Ulysses picked up a few boxes of movie tapes that had just ended, and said with a smile: "BOSS, these are the latest films, super good-looking, and only BesTV can be put on the shelves so quickly." ”

"Humph!" Roy raised his eyebrows arrogantly: "It's not a big deal." ”

"It's BesTV, and it's said to be a great company, with an annual turnover of nearly $6 billion."

Now the home video recorder has not been fully popularized to ordinary families, but there are definitely middle-class families like Ulysses, so he often rents some movies to watch at home on weekends, and has a certain understanding of BesTV, a national chain giant.

As the dominant player in the home entertainment market, Roy certainly knows that its company's profit model is home video rental, and as a user, you can drive to the BesTV store next to your home at any time, choose your favorite movies and TV series to watch, and rent a video to take home.

BesTV had 50 million subscribers and at its peak had 8,000 brick-and-mortar stores.

No one of the peers can match it.

However, times are changing, and the only constant is the counterattack of small companies and the decline of large companies.

Roy said confidently: "If someone can invest five million dollars in me, no, one million is enough, I can subvert the BesTV giant within three years, and build an immortal home theater rental empire through technological innovation and business upgrades!" ”

"Wow, boss." Ulysses looked at Roy with a look of adoration, he had already forgotten the great BesTV, and that look clearly said: You are indeed the best in the universe.

While Roy marveled at Ulysses' magical brain circuit, another middle-aged man in the video store who was picking out the saucer, his eyes unconsciously looked at them, he was wearing a big brown trench coat, a blue and white striped scarf around his neck, and a light-colored shirt inside, neatly dressed, full of elite style.

The middle-aged man held a few video tapes in his hand, his eyes glanced at Roy intentionally or unintentionally, and he pricked up his ears to listen to the of the two young people blowing through the sky, silently watching this scene in his eyes.
