"I think the way you apply for jobs has to change." Scrooge vs. John? Rockefeller said.

"So how do I change that?" John? Rockefeller said, "Scrooge, you have a flexible head, you don't have any ideas." ”

"Let me think," said Scrooge, and after a moment he asked, "well, John, do you have a business card?" ”

Business cards were already available in those days, even John? Rockefeller's father, Bill? Rockefeller has a lot of business cards, printed with various titles made up by Bill, what kind of miracle doctor, what kind of pharmacist, what kind of vice president of the American Cancer Control Association, what kind of new medical expert, and so on.

"Hey, why didn't I think of this! My dad is the best at using this stuff. Still, Scrooge, I don't know how much it costs to print a business card, and, in your opinion, what do I have to put on it? Well, a business school graduate, who knows bookkeeping and business law - how? ”

"That's too ordinary, isn't it?" Scrooge remembered his job search in his previous life, when he printed a book-thick recommendation material, which was densely packed with all kinds of achievements he had achieved, including all the achievements he had achieved in graduate school with his boss (as the graduate students called their supervisors), and the list of articles he had listed in various journals. (None of them were listed in journals such as Nature or Science, but the number is still impressive) includes the various awards I won as an undergraduate, and even when I was in elementary school. In addition, he also built a personal web page for himself or something, and the advertising campaign was really ...... than what Rockefeller envisioned

"I don't want to make false claims." Rockefeller misunderstood what Scrooge meant, and he felt that he could not achieve much by deception like his father Bill, "Your father was a very smart man, and if he had been a little more upright, he would have been much better than he is now." "This is John? What Rockefeller's mother, Alezza, said about his father. John felt that his mother's statement was very reasonable, and if Bill had a reputation for integrity, he would have made more money. For a little money, he cheated, and then quickly made a complete reputation in one place, and then went to another place to repeat the story, although it seems that he easily cheated money in any place, but he can't take root in any place, and he can't continue to grow. John? Rockefeller didn't want to be like Bill, who was much more ambitious. "I know that fame is not worthless, in fact he is very valuable. I don't want to be like him, ruining my reputation for a small amount of money, even if I want to...... That must also be for a much larger sum of money. ”

"No, John, I'm not asking you to do false propaganda, and lying for such a thing is definitely not worth the cost. But haven't you heard that 'the most deceiving thing is not a lie, but a fact'? As long as you will tell that part of the truth in the most appropriate way. Some things, different ways of describing them, get completely different results. For example, if you know how to keep accounts, can't you say that you have many years of experience in bookkeeping and are proficient in various bookkeeping skills'? Isn't that true? Are there any bookkeeping techniques that you don't know? ”

"However, 'I have many years of experience in bookkeeping' is not right." John? Rockefeller said.

"I heard Aunt Alezza say that you have been keeping accounts for your family's expenses since you were 7 years old. So, there's nothing wrong with what I'm saying. "Scrooge laughed, John? Rockefeller laughed along.

"Scrooge, are these new styles of leather shoes that you came up with?" Joseph Sr. asked Scrooge, pointing to a few drawings.

"Yes, Dad, what do you think?" Scrooge asked.

The styles of these leather shoes were popular in later generations, and according to some people's ideas, these things that were popular in later generations were not allowed to dazzle the eyes of those earthen buns of the eighteenth century. However, the dirt bun is the dirt bun, and old Joseph just shook his head at these patterns, and said, "Scrooge, it seems that you are really not suitable to be a shoemaker. How did you come up with something that didn't work out of the way? You see, with your shoes designed like this, they will change their appearance in a month at most, and they will be finished in half a year - how can this work? Then our reputation is ruined! ”

Scrooge knew that Joseph's assessment that these shoes would be finished in half a year was absolutely correct, because in this era, the shoes were used far more intensively than later generations. Because this era is still an era when transportation is basically relied on, such as John, who is looking for a job? Rockefeller, no matter where the company he was going to apply for, no matter how far it was, he walked through it on foot. Moreover, the road conditions of this era were also much worse than those of later generations, and the wear and tear on shoes was greater. Therefore, it is normal for future generations to have shoes that are the first pursuit of good looks and comfort, but they are inferior products in the eyes of people in this era.

"Hey, I'm just thinking about being light and good-looking." Scrooge said.

"Actually, maybe the kids of rich families will like this kind of thing, but they won't come to our store to buy shoes, and our customers are hard work." Carol wanted to say a few nice things for Scrooge, but when it came to the back, well, he wasn't optimistic about Scrooge's design either.

"Hey, it seems that the gold finger is not so easy to open, so let's hold the golden thigh honestly." Scrooge thought, "I wonder how John's job is going." ”

……

John? Rockefeller is on his way to his first goal of the day, and until now he has not found his dream job, but he is quite happy with the recent situation. In the past, he could run more than a dozen companies a day, but yesterday he only ran six. This is because the heads of both companies have talked to him, which takes a lot of time. Although in the end, the two people in charge said that they still need to think about it, and did not make a final decision, and John felt that the final result of their consideration was probably not the effect she expected, but this is at least a lot stronger than the previous day, isn't it?

The first company John was looking for today was called Hewitt-Tuttle & Company. When he walked into the company and asked a man who was walking out, who looked like an ordinary employee, that he wanted to meet the owner of the company, the "employee" who seemed to be about to do something stopped.

"Oh, is there anything you have to do, young man? I'm Tuttle, the owner of this company. The man stopped and replied politely.

Such an encounter was completely out of John's mind? Rockefeller's anticipation, therefore, he was a little stunned, and after a while remembered his words for self-recommendation.

"Sir, I wish I could work in your company, I know how to keep accounts, I have been trained at the Folsom Business School, I still know a little bit of economic law, and I can endure hardships and be very serious. I hope you will give me a chance. ”

"What did you learn in Forsum?" Tuttle asked.

"Sir, I took courses in double-entry bookkeeping, clear writing, business law in banking and foreign exchange business, but the main thing was bookkeeping." John? Rockefeller hastened to reply, and then added, "I graduated with pretty good grades." ”

"I need someone here who knows how to keep accounts," said Tuttle, "but I have an urgent matter to get out at once, can you come back in the afternoon?" ”

"Okay, no problem." John? Rockefeller replied happily.

The other companies in the plan today are very far away, and if you go there, you will probably have to come back very late in the afternoon, so it is not a good idea to keep the future boss waiting. And Mr. Tuttle really seems to need such an accountkeeper, and there is a good chance that he will hire John, so John decided not to try his luck at other companies today, and just wait nearby.

John? Rockefeller waited on the street near the company from half past nine in the morning to one o'clock in the afternoon, when he saw a public carriage stop near the company, and a man got out of the carriage and walked into the company. "The boss is back?" John? Rockefeller thought this as he hurried into the company and asked a real employee, "Is Mr. Tuttle back?" ”

"Not yet. But Mr. Hewitt is here. The employee replied.

Hewitt is another partner in this firm. John? Rockefeller met the gentleman in passing.

"Ah, Tuttle mentioned to me, and he said that someone would come here in the afternoon to apply for a job, let me see if it would be okay. You're here early. Hewitt said, "Do you say you know how to keep accounts?" ”

"Yes, sir, since I was five years old, I have kept a record of my family's financial income and expenditure." John? "From May to August of this year, I received another three months of bookkeeping training at Folsom Business School," Rockefeller said. ”

"Did Mr. Tuttle tell you that our company's business is complex, including grain, ore, and telegraph and railroad?" Hewitt looked at John and asked.

"Mr. Tuttle didn't have time to talk to me in detail, but I knew before I came that your business is very extensive." John? Rockefeller was calm.

"So did Tattle tell you that in addition to bookkeeping, maybe you need to take on some other work, such as debt collection and so on? Are you willing to do it? ”

"I can do well, sir, and you can count on me." John? Rockefeller said.

"Well, tomorrow you can come to work with us, for a probationary period of three months, and there will be no pay during the probationary period. Can you accept it? ”

The probationary period without any wages was absolutely illegal for future generations, but it was the norm in an era when there was no proletarian revolution and therefore no labor protection laws. So John had no objection to this, and he hastened to say to Hewitt:

"Yes, I can, thank you, boss! You are such a merciful good man, God will bless you. Then he gave him a good guy card.
