Volume 1 Chapter 55 Shanghai Tang (8)

What did George write on the board? Just a few words, they are docks, railways, roads, transportation companies.

Walking forward, Fang Jianxiong picked up the powder rub, wiped off the railway and highway, and left the dock and transportation company.

George shrugged his shoulders puzzled, "Why?" Without transportation guarantees, the difficulties faced by your industrial plans are too great. ”

Fang Jianxiong explained with a smile: "George, you still don't understand the current national conditions in China. Railways are a good thing, and I would love to build them, but this power is not in my hands. Even to build a railway from Jiangning to Wuhu, it depends on the face of the British. Roads are also important, but how do you think I have how much money to invest and how to solve the problem of returns? ”

After finishing speaking, Fang Jianxiong returned to his position with a smile and sat down, and continued slowly: "George, I have a position here, the general manager of the personnel department of Eurasia Group. However, at this stage there is only one name for this department. ”

George showed a dissatisfied expression and said directly: "I can't be satisfied, what I want is the position of CEO of the group." I am very optimistic about the development prospects of the Eurasian Group, so I came, and I fought for it. ”

Fang Jianxiong smiled silently, George lowered his head and thought for a while, then said calmly: "Okay, I accept it." But I have a request that all the important decisions of the group must be involved in. ”

"Fisher, remember to find a translator for Mr. George." Fang Jianxiong first turned his head and ordered Fisher, and then stretched out his hand to George: "Welcome to join, in fact, I think what you need is not a translator, but to learn Chinese well." ”

George got up and shook hands and said solemnly: "I will definitely learn Chinese well." ”

"Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, there will be a unique recruitment event at the gate of the big world, you go back and prepare, I will arrange someone to add a table for you, and you can go and recruit the subordinates you want."

………………………… Volume 1 Chapter 55 Shanghai Tang (8)

On April 18, 1908, on the square opposite the Great World in Shanghai, the job fair of the Eurasia Group officially kicked off. Despite all the preparations in advance, in an era when traditional industrial and commercial thinking is dominated by credibility and loyalty, the Eurasia Group's job fair has been met with traditional resistance.

This has nothing to do with salary or position.

The recruitment meeting was very lively, and the mainstream was the crowd of onlookers. Out of fear of new things, many people do not have the courage to take the first step, even if they are tempted.

At half past nine in the morning, the job fair had already begun for half an hour, and no one stepped into the makeshift fence. This start, it seems a bit ominous. In fact, many people are wandering outside, weighing, hesitating.

Three meters outside the shed, a horizontal line is drawn on the ground, and those who are not applicants are not allowed to enter, and the patrols invited are maintaining order. Therefore, there was a very anxious scene, there were many onlookers, it can be said that there were crowds, but they were all outside the line, with curious eyes to see who was the first to walk into this shed.

Tian Sanjin is such a representative figure, 35-year-old Tian Sanjin is a native of Shanghai, 8 years old into the blacksmith shop as an apprentice, Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau recruited, he was recruited to learn lathe work. A month ago, because he was dissatisfied with the foreman's salary deduction, Tian Sanjin protested a few words and was fired.

The job fair of Eurasia Group is very attractive to Tian Sanjin, but standing in front of the job fair, he is still very hesitant. The reason is simple, it is difficult to leave the homeland. There are old and young in the family, wife and children, plus the old mother, he is a laborer, and the family cannot be taken care of nearby when he leaves Shanghai.

After hesitating for ten minutes, Tian Sanjin finally walked into the shed. The reason is still very simple, there is only the last ocean left in the family, the old lady is sick and has to take medicine every day, and the wife and three children have to eat and dress. All of this costs money. A piece of ocean, which can last for a month at most. Tian Sanjin, who is unemployed, has no choice.

Of course, he still had a little hope that the owner would keep him in Shanghai.

Before that, Gu Heng, who was sitting at a table, looked very calm, but in fact, his heart was like a boiling oil pot. Time passed mercilessly, and I looked at the watch four times in ten minutes, and still no one walked in. Gu Heng sighed, and decided to raise his hand to clean up and let the prepared support move.

There was a special place for the media to rest at the exit of the job fair, and the reporters of more than a dozen newspapers looked a little bored. I thought it would be a successful event and I would be able to catch a lot of news material. I didn't think about it, ten minutes passed, and no one came in. Probably, this can also write a special topic, titled "The audience is like a tide, and there is no one who enters".

Just when a reporter had already prepared this headline and was going to interview the organizer's feelings, Tian Sanjin walked into the shed. The crowd of onlookers let out a burst of exclamations, "Someone went in, someone went in." Tian Sanjin was frightened when he stood at the door, and almost turned around and ran away, as if this was the Yama Palace.

However, the ** who survived still overcame fear, Tian Sanjin gritted his teeth, and walked to the table where he received the form.

"Hello! What position would you like to apply for? Standing behind the desk was a young man with a smile on his face. Like flies seeing rotten eggs, the reporters stood up one after another, their eyes like wolves, waiting for the first guy to finish applying, and then blocking him at the back door when he came out.

"I know how to turn the lathe, to be a fitter, and to know how to strike iron." Tian Sanjin subconsciously reported what he knew, and the young man at the job fair took out a form with a smile, handed it to him, and said: "If you are literate, fill it out yourself, if you are illiterate, go to the table over there and someone to fill it out for you." ”

Subconsciously took the form, Tian Sanjin walked to a place on the side with a sign of "Consultation Service", three young people were waiting here, each smiling, and stood up very kindly and said hello: "Hello, is there anything I can do to help you?" ”

Gu Heng raised his hand and put it down, because he knew very well that with the first successful example, it would be easy to do next.

With the help of the young man, Tian Sanjin filled out the form, and then someone led him to the technician recruitment point. Three recruiters, facing a nervous Tian Sanjin.

"You have a form that says you're good at turning, fitter, and iron. These skills are all we need. Excuse me, what are your specific requirements for salary? Are there any specific requirements for living in life, such as food and housing arrangements for family members? It was a man in his thirties who spoke, quite amiable.

Tian Sanjin's mind was full of confusion now, and he didn't know how to answer at all, but he subconsciously said: "I have an old lady at home, a wife, and three children." ”

"Well, if you pass guò for a one-month trial. You can apply for a three-bedroom apartment in the family building in Wuhu Industrial Zone. The housing is provided free of charge, and you will have to pay a small amount of utilities and sanitation bills. If your wife needs a job, you can also go to the logistics office to register and apply for a chorre to do. The salary of one month during the probation period is 10 yuan, and after you sign the contract, you can receive an advance of 5 oceans as a settling-in allowance the day before departure. This is a labor contract, if you don't understand it, you can go to the counter before and ask for it, and they will explain each one to you. Your rights and obligations are clearly written on it. ”

Subconsciously took over an employment contract, Tian Sanjin returned to the consultation office in a trance, or the amiable young man stood up and explained the contracts one by one. About five minutes later, Tian Sanjin, who was gradually sobering up, wrote down the important parts of these contracts. The most important one-month probationary period, if both the employer and the employee are not satisfied, can end the contract early. Probationers do not need to repay the settling-in fee, they only need to pack their own backpacks and leave. After becoming a regular employee, there is a corresponding labor insurance supply every month, including clothing, shoes, soap, cold drinks in summer, and heating in winter. After meeting a tradesman standard, you can apply for housing. The salary is based on the actual situation of the individual, with a minimum of ten yuan. On this basis, the average mechanic is paid piece-rate. Senior technicians can take apprentices, with an apprentice can receive five oceans, each apprentice out of the teacher inspection qualified, the group rewarded the ocean fifty yuan.

An apprentice went out of the school for fifty yuan, and this word completely woke Tian Sanjin up, a feeling of moving to the top of the mother-in-law. "What? Take an apprentice out of the master and reward fifty oceans? ”

After getting a definite answer, Tian Sanjin was dizzy again, what kind of factory is this, shouldn't you count the ocean? In the past years, Tian Sanjin brought out six apprentices, this is three hundred oceans. At this moment, I felt that I had lost a lot, and the days of working in the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau (Shanghai Bureau) were simply wasted.

Without hesitation, he walked to the signing table, Tian Sanjin trembled and said, "I want to sign a contract, where is the handprint?" ”

A second person who walked into the shed also appeared, but not Chinese, but a foreigner.

Chambers, a U.S. citizen and retired U.S. Navy mechanic, served three years in prison for wounding someone while drunk. I came to Shanghai half a month ago, hoping to start a new life. After arriving in Shanghai, Chambers was unable to find a job quickly, and the newspaper news caught his attention. Because he was proficient in mechanical maintenance, he decided to try his luck. Perhaps, the Chinese are easier to deceive, maybe they can give themselves a high salary. Last night, Chambers sold some tasty and a bottle of wine for his last five dollars, but got up late.

Walking into the shed, Chambers saw a foreigner sitting at a table, so he stepped over and greeted: "Hey, I'm here to apply for a mechanical technician." ”

This is George, and frankly speaking of today's scene, George is very sorry. In fact, now George is not only the general manager of the personnel department, but also won a position of general manager of foreign trade from Fang Jianxiong.

Chambers didn't wait for an answer, as George looked out with an incredulous expression. Looking at the stunned expressions of the entire staff, Chambers turned around: "Oh, Shet! Looks like I'm going to have to hurry up a bit. ”
