"The exam is two hours per hour, it is not allowed to be submitted in advance, and all the questions are written in the answer book with the format indicated. In addition, I would like to advise you that the silver furnace opened by my teacher is an honest and trustworthy person, you can not do well in the exam, but if you violate discipline, or peek at other people's answers, you will be immediately disqualified from the exam, and you will never be hired in my silver furnace in the future! Zhang Jingxiao was in charge of the prison hall, speaking loudly, with no expression on his face, with a sense of authority.

"Do you understand?"

There is a pergola in the compound of the Tai'an Grain and Oil Processing Plant, and nearly 200 candidates are sitting in it, and when they hear Zhang Jingxiao's warning, they are a little nervous, and they answer sparsely.

"Got it!"

Some people slander in their hearts, how can you be admitted to a silver furnace position, as if you are entering Beijing to take the exam.

"There are fifteen minutes before the exam, and you need to use a dipping pen to answer the questions, so everyone can get used to it." Zhang Jingxiao then said: "In the last five policy questions, when answering, please use horizontal writing from left to right, and use punctuation marks to break the sentence, if there is a writing error, just draw a horizontal line in the wrong place, do not outline and smear, affect the cleanness of the volume." Zhang Jingxiao paused at this time and continued: "The first page of the roll paper has already indicated the precautions for the exam, the way of writing, and the use of punctuation. Let's read it carefully while you still have a few minutes left! ”

After that, the exam began, and the literate teenager brought by Wang Yi was responsible for answering questions, and the Zhang family also sent someone to help take care of the order of the exam. The whole exam went smoothly, but nearly 20 candidates were kicked out of the examination room because of disciplinary violations.

Wang Yi was sitting in the duty room of the grain and oil processing plant at this time, and Zhang Quanfu, the general manager of Tai'an and the leader of the Yingfeng Grain and Oil Price Alliance, sat beside him. He is the younger brother of the Zhang family's advocate Quanbao, and his status in the same generation in the family is second only to Zhang Quanbao and Zhang Quande. At the age of thirty-five or sixteen, he looks average, but he is very enthusiastic. often plays chess with Wang, and his chess strength is much stronger than his half-brother Zhang Quande. is sociable, has a good relationship in the Zhang family, can be described as exquisite, and in Wang Yi's opinion, he is also quite talented.

"Brother Quanfu, Tai'an has already been partially put into production, right?" Wang Yi drank tea and chatted with Zhang Quanfu.

"yes, I'm waiting for your silver furnace to open now!"

"I'm ready over there, as soon as the staff is hired, after half a month of training, the silver furnace will be open at the end of the month, and Boss Zhang will have to take care of the small shop business at that time!"

Wang Yi and Zhang Quanfu are also nowhere to be seen, and often joke with each other.

"Come on, listen to Shi Jinxiang's old Chen, the goods you ordered from the foreigners will arrive in a while, and then your paper mill, printing factory, cement factory, glass factory, right...... And all the livestock farms have to be established. Are you busy!? ”

"Naturally, someone will take care of it then, what am I doing with so much heart!" Wang Yi said again: "Besides, all the factories have shares of your Zhang family, if you want to say that these factories are mine, let me work alone, your Zhang family will not feel a loss of conscience!" ”

"You boy! I can't say you ......."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

"By the way, what the hell is that grain and oil intelligence analysis group you are talking about?"

"I want you to send someone to collect information related to your business."

"So what information should be gathered?"

"In fact, it is not as complicated as you think, such as the weather changes in the grain production areas, the growth of food crops, the changes in the main export markets, the eating habits of the local people, etc., don't be limited to the country, and don't be limited to yourself. By the way, if you have time, read more of Sun Tzu's Art of War, as the so-called shopping mall is like a battlefield, knowing yourself and knowing your opponent will win all battles. In addition, your grain and oil processing plant can also import some varieties from abroad that we do not have in our local area, or have varieties that are better than our grain varieties. Try planting in advance, and then spread it on a large scale, so that you can get closer to the farmers who are arriving the land. ”

"Slow, slow...... I can't remember all you said! Zhang Quanfu complained. I'll find someone, you dictate, I'll remember it. ”

Wang Yi waved his hand and said, "This matter will be put here for the time being, forget it, you don't have professional manpower in this area over there, and I will handle the intelligence matter myself...... But let's talk about it, you have to help me out, and the money can't be less! Every year, I make forecasts based on the intelligence I obtain, and then provide you with a professional annual operation plan based on this information, whether you use it or not, it's your business. I will also give you a revision plan every quarter, and if there are any emergencies, I will also convey them to you in a timely manner. If that's the case, you can't run Tai'an well, and you'll be killed by looking for tofu. ”

Zhang Quanfu is now accustomed to not treating Wang Yi as an ordinary child, and the two sides are equal, so he often jokes about words.

"Oh, you, you always have some weird ideas in your head one day."

"By the way, when are your price alliances going to start building a grain and oil futures market? Without this thing as a shield, if the foreigners cause trouble, you won't be able to deal with it. ”

"Yingkou Tongzhi has promised to send people to station, of course, after receiving the benefits, he also promised not to intervene in grain and oil futures, and the control is all in the hands of our price alliance. What we paid for was a tablet, in fact, Tongzhi knew it in his heart. Zhang Quanfu thought for a moment, and then continued: "The only problem now, and the biggest problem, is that there are very few people who can understand that you wrote those charters. The account offices sent by the various families are very slow to learn, if you have time, you can give them a lecture? ”

"Doesn't that push me to the front desk!" Wang Yi frowned.

Zhang Quanfu was happy and said with a smile: "You really think you can hide it!" There are a few big families who want to meet you, and I don't know how many times I've blocked it for you. ”

Wang Yiyi thought about it, too! simply said: "Since they all want to meet, then help me make an appointment, and everyone will meet together, and get acquainted with each other first." ”

Zhang Quanfu nodded.

"Leave it to me."

"As for the training of grain and oil futures talents...... Since I proposed it, then I will be responsible for it to the end, but you make it clear to them that the training can be free, but if you ask them for anything in the future, you have to help! ”

"Don't worry! Everyone has a big family, so naturally they won't bother with you. ”

"Preferably!" Wang Yi was also not polite.

After the exam was completed, Wang Yi assigned Zhang Jingxiao and them a task, which was to correct the rolling paper. He himself is responsible for 20 psychological tests, as well as five essay questions, plus the scores of other questions, from which Wang Yi will select suitable personnel for each position in the silver furnace, and then have another round of interviews. Of course, according to his idea, the exam is only the most basic threshold, and follow-up training is still indispensable.

The interview will be held in three days, so Wang Yi took people back to the octagonal platform.

A week later, a new silver furnace appeared on the banks of the Liao River, called: Dashang. Half a month later, the trial operation began. Two months later, it was opened, and this was Wang Yiyinlu. Different from other silver furnaces, this silver furnace not only helps buyers and sellers to smooth out the price difference caused by the different fineness of silver, but also provides large, medium and small fixed and irregular savings business, and most importantly, saves interest in large merchants! Instead of charging a management fee.

Of course, with a savings business, there will be a loan business. Although the approval system is a little stricter, overall, business is not bad.

Originally, according to Wang Yi's assumption, he didn't want to launch these businesses too early, but it was only because of the appearance of one person that he made up his mind. This man's name is ...... Li Cut, Li Yuzhen.

Li Yuzhen is not famous in history, and he should also belong to people who have been buried by history. This person left the Qing Kingdom at the age of ten and went to England to study alone, and later with hard work, he finally succeeded in his studies, but unfortunately on the eve of graduating from university, he suddenly fell seriously ill. If it weren't for the timely treatment, I was afraid that I would have died in a foreign land. Although he gradually recovered, he did not get a degree because of this. After that, he worked in a foreign bank for five years, and traveled to Europe, the United States, South America, Africa, the Middle East, as well as India and the South Seas. He is much more real than a person like Wang Yi.

After returning to China, I wanted to devote myself to the tide of the Westernization Movement, but unfortunately I was born at the wrong time, and several bigwigs in the south did not pay much attention to it as soon as they heard that he had not graduated at all. Although he was not driven out directly, he was not assigned important duties. Li Yuzhen didn't think it was interesting, so he took the initiative to leave.

This time I went to Yingkou to see relatives and friends, but I didn't expect that when I was drinking tea by the Liao River, I heard about Wang Yi's recruitment. I thought it was very fresh, and I also felt that the position was good, so I came to sign up. Originally, the registration deadline had passed, but later I begged my grandfather to tell my grandmother that I was qualified to register and took the exam.

When he actually entered the examination room, after seeing the questions on the rolling paper, Li Yuzhen, who thought he could catch it, was completely stunned, Wang Yi's questions were extremely difficult, even if he could only make five or six out of ten.

However, compared to Li Yuzhen's racking of brains, Wang Yi was even more surprised. Someone actually passed the exam, although it was only just passed, but this is also something he never thought about. So he paid attention to Li Yuzhen, and privately sent someone to check the details of the other party.

During the interview, when Li Yuzhen saw that the five examiners in the room were actually looking at a young man of eight or nine years old, he only had two thoughts in his head, either the Great Qing Kingdom was too ridiculous and he was deceived. Either it is the one in front of you, who is a relative of the emperor today.

But when the young man began to ask, Li Yuzhen realized that the other party's understanding of international finance and world trade was far above him. Some questions seem simple, but he Li Yuzhen just can't answer them. Even if he reluctantly answered, he seemed pale and weak, and even he couldn't believe it.

In fact, many of the questions asked by Wang Yi were never thought of by Li Yuzhen.

The child is still the same as just now, but the image has changed dramatically in Li Yuzhen's mind...... If you could have been under him, you should have been able to learn different things, but unfortunately......

After returning home, Li Yuzhen's face was like ashes, and he felt that he had no hope. It's easy to get a position he wants, but he can't get it, and if he is squeezed out of the back door, he can feel a little better. But being out in such a way undoubtedly dealt a big blow to Li Yuzhen's psychology.

But life is full of surprises after all, when his cousin ran in from outside the door and told him that he had been hired as the general manager of Dashang Silver Furnace, Li Yuzhen was stunned.
