Chapter 65: The Silver War (2)
In the early morning, the whole of Shanghai was shrouded in dense fog, and it was impossible to see clearly from a distance of more than ten meters.
This is the quietest time of the day, and occasionally a few homeless people will kick through the trash cans to find some expired food to satisfy their hunger.
It was only after the international depression that more and more capitalists went bankrupt, millions of Chinese were unemployed, and they were forced to get up early and be greedy for darkness, and queued up in a long line at the recruitment site of a limited number of jobs, and thousands of people competed fiercely for a position.
In front of a newly built building in Hongkou District, a few staff members who looked like this building were maintaining order at the gate, and there was a long queue of 500 people outside an iron chain, and there were only two positions, which showed that the competition was fierce.
After a while, a man about thirty years old came out of it, he was dressed in a straight suit and his leather shoes were shiny, and he was worth a lot of money at first glance, and he must have been a big man.
"Mr. Liu!"
One of the staff members in charge of maintaining order immediately shouted respectfully, apparently someone he knew. It's just that the person surnamed Liu didn't seem to hear it at all, but snorted coldly at the person who shouted at him.
If a month ago, Liu Bin would definitely not dare to do this to that person, because at that time Liu Bin was also an unemployed person who came to look for a job. It's just that he was very embarrassed at the time, and he was humiliated by the person who called him.
Now Liu Bin has been hired exceptionally with his talent and ability to become the middle manager of this building, and his status is different, so he naturally doesn't have to look at other people's faces.
"We've found the talent we need, let's get the rest of the people away!"
Liu Bin came out to make an announcement. Glancing at the hundreds of people, I couldn't help but sigh. Thinking that a month ago he was one of them, and now these hundreds of people came happily but returned disappointed. He could understand the feelings of these people.
Sure enough, the crowd was furious, and these people who had not been given jobs shouted, some lamented, some complained, and some were unwilling to shout that it was unfair, because they thought that they were better at what they deserved to get that job.
Liu Bin shook his head, he was not the boss. I had to leave quickly.
At this moment, he noticed that a woman in the crowd was familiar.
Liu Bin trembled when he heard this, and when he looked back, he saw that it was indeed the woman he was haunted by his soul.
"Li Yun. Why are you here too? ”
The woman named Li Yun is also one of the job seekers, and she and Liu Bin were classmates. When she saw that Liu Bin had become the steward of this place, her eyes were a little complicated, and she thought that a few months ago she had rejected Liu Bin's marriage proposal to marry a wealthy foreign businessman. As a result, the wealthy foreign businessman went bankrupt within a few days. On the contrary, Li Yun's savings were all cheated. Now Li Yun also had to come out to look for a job, and she ran into Liu Bin.
Li Yun immediately turned around and left, but was stopped by Liu Bin, and suddenly his expression became complicated, and he didn't know how to face it.
"Liu Bin, I ......"
"Come in and talk about it!"
Liu Bin knew that this place was not the place to speak, so he immediately took Li Yun into the building.
"You're the manager of this company?"
Liu Bin glanced at Li Yun complicatedly and nodded.
"I'm sorry about what happened before. Hope you ......."
"Don't talk about that, you're here today to apply for a financial analyst, right?"
Li Yun nodded. Weakly asked, "It seems to be over." ”
Liu Bin smiled and said, "It was supposed to be over, but we just received a call that the headquarters arranged for a British financial analyst to come over." ”
Li Yun's expression suddenly darkened.
"Still." Liu Bin saw Li Yun's thoughts, changed his words, and said: "Our principle is to give priority to Chinese, since Li Yun is here, then we don't need the headquarters to send a foreigner over." ”
Li Yun was a little stunned, so Liu Bin explained to her. It turned out that the company he was working for was a financial company invested by the Datang Empire in Shanghai, serving Datang Bank, mainly engaged in gold and silver exchange business. Since a suitable financial analyst had not been found before, the headquarters of the Datang Empire had to hire foreigners to take care of it.
Liu Bin was fortunate to be discovered by a senior executive, so he was able to enter the Datang company, and now he tells Li Yun that with Li Yun's strength, he can do it.
Li Yun didn't know what to say, but she didn't expect Liu Bin to help her regardless of her previous suspicions.
"But don't be too complacent, our company is currently engaged in a huge silver trading transaction, if you can't afford this burden, even I can't let you stay."
Li Yun suddenly swore and said: "You can rest assured, you know my ability, and the transaction of hundreds of thousands of silver dollars is no problem." ”
Liu Bin smiled slightly and said: "How can that kind of petty fight be compared with our company, tell you, you'd better be mentally prepared, our company's silver dollar transactions are hundreds of millions!" ”
"Ahh
Li Yun was stunned.
Liu Bin knew that this would be the result, and when he came here, he also had the same expression as her.
"Let's go, take you to meet the director, whether you can do it depends on your own ability."
Liu Bin took Li Yun to meet the supervisor, and after the interview and assessment, Li Yun was really good and finally got hired.
Liu Bin and Li Yun were assigned to an office, and the two already had a relationship foundation, although Li Yun abandoned Liu Bin once, but Liu Bin did not give up, God gave him a chance again, and he naturally would not miss it.
Liu Bin and Li Yun quickly excelled in the company with the knowledge they had learned, and the company's supervisor also assigned a series of big tasks to the two of them.
In fact, the reason why Datang doesn't want foreigners is mainly because they can't trust foreigners. In particular, recently, the Tang Empire secretly carried out large-scale silver exchange transactions, secretly wrestling with Britain, the United States and Japan, and a considerable part of the business was not visible, such as avoiding the official supervision of the national government, trading with underground banks, secretly smuggling silver, and so on. Liu Bin and Li Yun are both newcomers from the bottom, so they can be reused.
On this morning, Liu Bin and Li Yun were called over by the top management and gave them an extremely important task.
"Three days later, there will be a huge transaction of raw silver in London, tomorrow we will go to London together, this time it is a huge transaction of raw silver, the two of us must be in good spirits, and we must not make mistakes."
"Going to London in three days? It's going to take months to get to London! ”
Liu Bin saw that Li Yun was confused, and immediately smiled: "Don't worry, the headquarters sent us a special plane, and this time we will make a plane to London." ”
Li Yun couldn't hide the surprise in her heart, she had never been an airplane, she knew that it was the privilege of the nobility, and she didn't expect that it would be her turn to be qualified. (To be continued......)
