Chapter 53: Interview (continued)
A little past two o'clock, Xiao Ji brought the first applicant in.
This is a middle-aged man in his thirties, who claims to have the surname Chen, and is an international student who is still studying in a language school. After chatting with him for a few words, Li Guangzhi judged that this person should be the kind of person who came out with a student visa and came to Japan to work and earn money.
Although in the process of chatting, the middle-aged man surnamed Chen said several times that he was very willing to take up this job. But his lame Japanese and slightly frivolous speech made Li Guangzhi give him a cross in his heart.
In the end, Li Guangzhi just asked him to leave a phone number, telling him that he would call him when he had news, and sent him away.
The second recruit brought in by Xiao Ji surprised Li Guangzhi. He remembered that they had indicated in the job advertisement that it was only for men, but why was it that a woman with glasses and a rather mature dress came in?
With some curiosity, he chatted with the female applicant, and then learned that the lady who claimed to be surnamed Wang was a reporter from the "International Student News".
Two days ago, this reporter Wang saw their job advertisement in his newspaper, and was very curious about the novelty of the "no case inside" written on it, and found that their store was opened in the mysterious Kabukicho street. She thought that this matter might be very newsworthy, so she came over today to interview her under the guise of a candidate.
Li Guangzhi couldn't laugh and cry a little and exchanged a few words with this dedicated female reporter, agreed with her on the time of the next interview, and promised that she would know everything during the interview, which made her leave satisfied.
Although this incident is a bit oolong, it also provides him with a new idea, that is, to expand the popularity of his store through the media.
The audience for a newspaper like the International Student Shimbun was so small that he wondered why TBS or Fuji didn't come to interview their stores. After all, Japan's first "unpredicted case" should be considered a big news gimmick. In addition, the public order in Kabukicho Street was rectified a few days ago, but it appeared several times in the news on several TV stations.
I don't know if these TV stations have a news hotline or something like that. If there were, he had already planned it now, and in two days he would disguise himself as an enthusiastic citizen to provide news clues.
It's still worth doing. If their store could get an interview on TV or something, then they would make the first in Japan famous. Needless to say, it will help the growth of his business, and this increase in popularity will be very beneficial to his future journal plans
Before the next candidate came in, he quickly jotted down the idea on his notepad so that he wouldn't forget it. After two days, I'll have to find a way to try it.
The next third candidate was a skinny young man with thick glasses and a somewhat wooden appearance. Li Guangzhi's first impression of him was not very good, and such a person knew at a glance that he was definitely not very suitable for a job that required social skills like an insider.
However, out of respect for the applicant, Li Guangzhi politely asked him to sit down, and after a routine conversation with him, he sent him away.
After the man with glasses sat down a little stiffly, he did not speak, but first handed Li Guangzhi a bound resume.
When he came to apply for such a job, he would actually prepare a formal resume, and Li Guangzhi's impression of this man suddenly changed a lot. His behavior like this made Li Guangzhi feel respected. Second, it can also be seen from this that this must be a very rigorous person.
He took the resume and read it carefully, making an evaluation in his heart while reading it
Name: Zhiyi Liu. Gender: Male. Age: 27 years old
Just looking at the name and age in the first line of his resume, he improved his evaluation of this glasses man by another point. Just look at the name, Liu Zhiyi, the unity of knowledge and action. In the era when he was born, being able to give such a name to a child shows that this person's family background should be good, at least from an old intellectual family.
Children from this kind of family, not to mention anything else, must not be too bad in terms of family education.
Graduated from: Department of Mathematics, Jiangsu and Zhejiang University (undergraduate). Institution: Tokyo Institute of Technology, Graduate School of Electronic Engineering.
Seeing the content of this line, Li Guangzhi couldn't help but be slightly surprised. You must know that Tokyo Institute of Technology is a national elite university in science and engineering in Japan, which means that it is slightly lower than the University of Tokyo. In addition, in Japanese universities, a faculty refers to an undergraduate degree, and a graduate school refers to a graduate school.
Why did a master's student at a prestigious national university think of applying for such a job in Kabukicho that didn't have such a good reputation?
"Mr. Liu, right?" Li Guangzhi asked with some curiosity: "Looking at your resume, you are now a master's degree from Tokyo Institute of Technology, how did you think of coming to work in Kabukicho Street?" Moreover, I see that your undergraduate school in China is Jiangsu and Zhejiang University, which is also a top-ranked key school, you should have studied abroad on public assignment, right? ”
Liu Zhiyi, the man with glasses, rubbed his hands and hesitated for a moment, then replied calmly: "The year I graduated, I was originally scheduled to be sent to Dongda, but later the quota was occupied by others. I studied Japanese at home for two years on my own, and last year I came here at my own expense. ”
"As for why I came to do this job, because I'm short of money right now. I borrowed the money to study abroad at home, and I still have tens of thousands of dollars left to pay off. The scholarship in the school is only responsible for the tuition part, and the living expenses have to be earned by working part-time. So, I'm hoping to find a part-time job with a good pay. ”
Although this Liu Zhiyi looks a little dull, his words are well-organized, fluent and clear, which is quite in contrast to the feeling he gives people on the outside.
"Then Mr. Liu, what do you think of the job offered in our job advertisement?"
Li Guangzhi's interest in him increased a lot at this time. If the previous questioning was just to satisfy his curiosity, then now he continues to ask questions, he really wants to recruit this person to come in and do things.
After asking this question, he smiled apologetically at Liu Zhiyi again, and said in Japanese: "I was rude just now, and I didn't even introduce myself to Liu Jun." My name is Li Guangzhi and I am one of the partners of this store. ”
Liu Zhiyi frowned and was silent for a while, and then replied in the same Japanese: "Li Sang, about the question you raised, can I tell me what I really think?" ”
"Of course, please."
"Actually, I heard from a friend half a year ago that there is such a job in Kabukicho Street that specializes in introducing custom shops to Chinese tourists. At that time, I thought that it should be illegal for Chinese people to engage in such a profession in Japan, or at least to play a side game. ”
"When I was looking for a job at an employment agency, I saw that foreigners were not allowed to work in the customs industry in Japan."
Speaking of this, he glanced up at Li Guangzhi, and saw that he still had a calm smile on his face, and he didn't seem to mind his words, so he continued:
"The day before yesterday, I saw your job advertisement in the International Student Shimbun, and then I saw a speech by Tokyo Governor Shunichi Suzuki in the Yomiuri Shimbun. In order to calm the panic and crisis of trust in the wake of the shooting of a police officer on the streets of Shinjuku in September this year, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Shinjuku Ward Police Department have jointly carried out a cleanup operation to improve the security environment in Shinjuku City in recent days."
"I also saw reports on TV that the police had arrested a lot of gangsters and some foreigners who were staying illegally. In addition, it has been reported on TV that the government has now enacted a ban on street solicitation in Shinjuku's Kabukicho Street. ”
"Then I was thinking, on such a crackdown, this store would actually publish job advertisements in newspapers. This shows that nine times out of ten, the store dared to do so with the permission of the government. A Chinese boss can actually get a government license in this industry. I admire such a capable person very much. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Zhiyi paused deliberately, and then unhurriedly turned the topic back and concluded: "So, my view of this job is very different from before. In my current opinion, this is a legitimate, high-quality job that will pay me well. Of course, there may still be some bad reputations. ”
“Bravo!” After he finished speaking, Li Guangzhi couldn't help but applaud on the side. Of course, he was deliberately using English at this time.
"Mr. Liu, I understand that you, as a former top student in the Department of Mathematics, should be very good at coming to the right conclusion after logical analysis of the information obtained."
"However, I was even more pleasantly surprised by the natural way you could include some compliments in your reply when answering questions, and you also knew to pause between conversations to allow time for the audience to be more impressed."
"Honestly, the emotional intelligence you show in your interactions with people doesn't match the way you look on the outside. Of course, this is a good thing that you are a good fit for the job you are applying for. ”
"So, Mr. Liu. Now I have one last question here. If so, could you please answer in English? ”
Liu Zhiyi rubbed his hands a little nervously, and hesitated for a while before replying, "Okay, Mr. Li, I'll try my best." ”
"Mr. Liu, you and I are both from Chinese mainland, so we are all very clear. In this era, the Chinese in our mainland are full of contempt for prostitutes and prostitutes. ”
"You have a master's degree from a prestigious university, but the job you are about to do now requires you to show your passion and serve the prostitutes and prostitutes whom you despised in the past. I would like to ask, what do you think about this? ”
When Liu Zhiyi heard this question, his face couldn't help but feel a little bitter. He narrowed his eyes slightly, probably organizing the language in his head, and only after a while did he stumble in English and replied:
"Mr. Li, my opinion on this issue is this. Whether it is a prostitute or a prostitute, they are oppressed by, oh no, poor people who succumb to the desires of the flesh and money. ”
"Now, I have chosen this job to satisfy my desire for money. Then, at this particular stage, my personality level should be equal to that of a prostitute and a prostitute. So, I don't have any right to despise them. And I serve them, but in the ordinary sense of the word, one person serves another. ”
"Mr. Li, this is what I really think, what do you think?"
Li Guangzhi stood up and stretched out his hand to him and said, "Mr. Liu, although your English level still needs to be improved, I am very satisfied with your answer. ”
"Congratulations on being a member of our group of insiders. Although I know that it would be a shame to do such a job with your talents. However, the high salary that this job can bring will make you forget about this for a while and willingly contribute your abilities to this career. ”
