Scott. Shipp is willing to recommend an education director for Tsinghua University, which is good, but Qin Lang doesn't need him to recommend an education director - he doesn't want the Virginia Military Academy to meddle in Tsinghua University. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although it is possible, Shipp only wants to express the friendliness of a collaborator and has no other meaning, but since Qin Lang has always been worried that the graduates of the Military Academy will form a group in his company, he has to take a defensive posture.

And, in fact, he is already a suitable person.

William. Edward. Boghardt. Du Bois, the first African-American in American history to earn a Ph.D. from Harvard University, is a well-known civil rights activist, sociologist, educator, historian, writer, editor, poet, and scholar...... In conclusion, he holds many titles and is a very famous figure.

Of course, now, he has not received any other title except "doctor", and he is only twenty-nine years old, but Qin Lang still decided to ask him to be the director of education at Tsinghua University.

Before leaving for Lexington, he sent a letter of invitation to Dubois.

Scott. Shipp was destined to be disappointed. Of course, he will not give up for a short period of time, after all, any university will have a relatively large leadership, lose the director of education, and there are other options - in theory.

But theories don't always become facts.

There are no more vacancies in the leadership of Tsinghua University.

Zhanjiang.

Duke of the Abyssinian Empire, Director of the Great Viper Arms Company and General Manager of United Textile Technologies Company Duncan. His Royal Highness Sandy has two offices in Zhanjiang, one of which is located near the wharf, and from the office on the third floor of the building, he can see the company's rented goods warehouse, as well as the factory in Maxie.

But Duncan rarely works in Bay Tower. Most of the time, he stays at his second office, the Guangzhou Bay base of Umbrella Security Services on the East Sea Island, where he receives free protection from mercenaries and away from the watchmen sent by the Chicago and Cleveland consortia: the two deputy managers of United Textile Technology are almost always active in the Zhanjiang city, where business information is apparently more readily available.

Duncan felt that such an arrangement was good and appropriate, and everyone could have a good time, but the two assistant managers had completely opposite opinions from him.

"Once again, Mr. Firth has asked you to return to Bay Tower." George. Firth was a representative of the Chicago consortium, a career manager who was nearly fifty years old, and his relationship with Duncan was a little strained because of his attitude toward workers, because of his choice of office location. He stressed that the Bay Building is the headquarters of United Textile Technologies, not here......

"This is the first time Firth has made this request, Eddard?" Duncan interrupted his assistant.

"Seventeenth."

"Then reject him for the seventeenth time."

With that, Duncan waved the assistant away, then looked at his slightly angry-looking financial director. "Fan. Mr. Desmond, what's the matter with you? ”

Even if his boss is looking at him, William. Fan. Still with a poker face, Desmond pulled a stack of reports and forms out of the briefcase he carried with him and placed them on Duncan's desk. "Third quarter financial report, sir."

"Oh, so fast?" Duncan pretended to be surprised, trying to adjust the mood in the room, but in fact it had the opposite effect—the financial director's face became more ugly. "Mr. Sandy, I always submit my financial reports at the same time."

"I know." Duncan sighed to himself, shrugged his shoulders, and turned on the fan. Desmond's report to him.

Of course, the report is full of beautiful words and Arabic numerals: total sales, total sales, earnings, growth, growth, market share, ...... It's always that, even if he doesn't report it, he knows it. With a strong background and extensive relationships, as well as a strong iron fist, United Textile Technology is certainly in a good position to win one victory after another.

Now, the trade in raw silk and cotton in Guangdong has been completely monopolized by Duncan, and a large part of the market in the neighboring areas is also under his full control. Although he lacked the strength to completely defeat the British merchants because the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River were British spheres of influence, and the Japanese were able to obtain cotton and raw silk from other sources, making it impossible for him to complete Qin Lang's task, it was only a matter of time.

Duncan knew his advantage, the United States was still on the rise, but Britain had reached its peak, so it would soon slip and eventually the British would lose the strength to fight him. And Japan ...... Hey, who controls America's cotton fields?

But this has nothing to do with Fan. Desmond had nothing to do with it, and as a finance director, he only had to take care of the finances, but after repeatedly reviewing his reports, Duncan never found the words and numbers that could make him angry. "I don't understand why you're putting on a poker face, Fan. Mr. Desmond. He was bewildered and wanted to know the answer.

"The problems are all in the report." The CFO replied.

"I still understand." Duncan put down the report and spread his hands. "Our total sales in the third quarter were $2.93 million, an eleven percent increase over the second quarter, and we had two Englishmen and three Frenchmen bankrupt and rolled back to London and Paris...... No, I mean, we're running and financially good and not having a single problem, so I don't see anything that can make you angry. ”

"The company's expenses."

"Spending?" Duncan picked up the report from scratch and found the word and the corresponding number, as well as the growth rate, "What's the problem?" ”

He still didn't seem to understand enough, but this time, Duncan was just playing dumb. The financial expenses of United Textile Technology in the third quarter increased by 23,000 US dollars compared to the second quarter, and he knew why, of course, because of this problem, the two deputy general managers were angry, and now the financial director is also starting to get angry.

"I don't mind you giving good treatment to the workers of the factory, sir, but you shouldn't spend money on them without limit!" Fan. Desmond's harsh accusations -- an attitude that is very rare considering that he is only the chief financial officer, not the chairman.

However, Duncan couldn't fight back against him. On the one hand, Fan. Desmond's worthiness does have some merit, and on the other hand, he is completely dependent on Van Anderson. Desmond manages the company's financial operations. With the loss of the CFO, Duncan is confident that United Textile Technologies will be in turmoil, a situation that neither the board nor he wants to see.

Therefore, he cannot reprimand, he can only defend himself. "The money was well spent, the productivity of workers increased by 74 percent, and more than 3,000 workers volunteered one hour of overtime a day. Fan. Mr. Desmond, I must stress ......"

"Whatever you want to say," the controller interrupted him, "Mr. Sandy, I'm just reminding you to be careful and control your impulses. Otherwise, there will come a time when you will do something that exceeds the bottom line of the board. ”

"And then you're going to have to get out of where you are." Of course, Fan. Desmond didn't say the last word. He stood up, said goodbye to Duncan, and left the office.

When the door closed again, Duncan let out a long breath and relaxed.

"God!" He shook his head, opened the drawer and took out a wine glass and a bottle of wine, poured himself half a glass, and counted at the same time: "I'm curious, if he knew that improving the treatment of workers was the task that Qin gave me, would he still be as angry as he is now?" ”

He seems to be talking to himself, but in fact he is not talking to himself. When he took his first sip of wine, a door on the other side of the office opened, and Yi Shui walked out. His office is on the other side.

There is a door in the middle of their office. Duncan's office was actually Yi Shui's office for Rachel, although she didn't need it at all, and Duncan was thick-skinned......

"You shouldn't use Qin Lang's task as an excuse. We all know what he means. Yi Shui said.

"So," Duncan pretended not to hear his accusation. "You're done with all your work in Beijing?"

"Nope." Yi Shui replied as he sat down in front of Duncan, "Things didn't go very well, I only finished part of it." But Qin Lang sent me a telegram, so I had to return here immediately. ”

"Oh." Duncan pouted, "What kind of work is going to make you feel uncomfortable?" ”

"Secret." Yi Shui smiled slyly.

Duncan deliberately furrowed his eyebrows, feigning a look of disappointment. "Secret? You've let me down. He took another sip, "So what are you doing when you come back?" Also a secret? ”

Of course it's not. "Tsinghua University."

"I thought I was in charge of the construction of the school."

"Of course." Yi Shui does not deny it.

"So you ......"

"Qin Lang found a president for Tsinghua University, and I persuaded the gentleman to accept the position on his behalf and escorted him to Zhanjiang." Yi Shui explained, "Then I have to go to Guangzhou to visit the honorary president of the university. ”

Realizing that Yi Shui's work did not coincide with his, Duncan suddenly became interested again. "Who's the headmaster? What about the Honorary Chancellor? ”

"The principal is Mr. Yan Fu...... Of course you don't know. But you know it, Honorary Chancellor. Yi Shui deliberately paused for a while, about half a minute, before he said, "Li Hongzhang, the governor of Liangguang." ”

There are also Liu Kunyi and Zhang Zhidong - Qin Lang is well aware of the importance of official background, so he invited them to be the honorary principal of the school.

There is only one question, will they say yes?

Qin Lang was full of confidence. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
