Among them, the first mate is actually equivalent to the first captain, who is responsible for directing the ship when the captain is absent or unable to perform his duties. Therefore, the first mate is very important, and a ship generally has only one first mate.

Chen Haoran naturally couldn't mess around, and at the suggestion of the clerk, he chose two first mates, four second officers, and no third officers, and was ready to choose a boatswain directly among the sailors. After getting this officer-level crew, the rest is easy to do, two doctors on one ship, one cook on a merchant ship, and two cooks on a battleship. Lookouts, surveyors, and helmsmen are standard.

Finally, there are sailors, Chen Haoran on the merchant shipping side selected 10 sailors of the highest level that the port office can recommend, and 10 sailors who all have Class 3 sailor certificates.

On the side of the battleship, although there were 150 sailor cabins, Chen Haoran could not recruit so many, and finally recruited 50 with sailor certificates.

The contract was signed, an intermediary fee was paid, and then I waited for the port office to make an appointment for an interview. After all, the port authority guarantees the existence of such a person, but who knows if people are willing to get on your ship? In the same way, Chen Haoran has to look at it before he can decide whether to recruit or not, after all, he may not be able to look down on it.

In comparison, sailors have to pick and choose the fat and thin, because you must know that in these days, it is easy to get on the ship and difficult to get off the ship! Because as soon as they get on the ship, the crew not only shares the honor and disgrace with the captain, but also puts their lives in the hands of the captain.

Therefore, whether it is recruiting or defecting, it is something that both parties need to recognize.

This is done, and it takes time, just like getting the ship registration certificate, so Chen Haoran got up and picked up the money bag and turned to the intermediary.

The dozen or so intermediaries were drooling when they heard the number of people Chen Haoran needed, and their eyes were red looking at the gold and silver coins that were touched out of the money bag one by one, and now they saw that Chen Haoran was busy, and there was a place to ask for himself, so they didn't immediately come up and hug Chen Haoran to the port office to negotiate business with these intermediaries, and then pricked up their ears to listen to Chen Haoran's request.

"I have a chamber of commerce, only one name, no shops, no warehouses, no manpower, what kind of manpower do you say we need to form my chamber of commerce?" Chen Haoran said with a good look.

After listening to it for a while, Chen Haoran understood that first of all, he had to have a store, then he had to have a store manager, and then he had to have a warehouse.

It seems that the number of people is much smaller than that of sailors, and the intermediary fees of the guys, porters, and janitors are pitiful, but the store manager and salesman need a lot of money.

There is a division in the store manager, and the store manager who squats in the store to receive customers to negotiate business has a monthly salary of at least 2 gold coins, and the stronger the ability, the higher the monthly salary.

In addition to the store manager in the store, there is also the store manager who is responsible for the entry and exit of materials in the warehouse, and the kind of store manager who is responsible for the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, or can already be called a manager, responsible for helping the Chamber of Commerce expand trade routes and negotiate with other chambers of commerce, this level of store manager, the minimum monthly salary is 10 gold coins, and the stronger the ability, the higher the monthly salary!

And this kind of manager is divided, some are specialized in business, some are specialized in relationships, and some are specifically responsible for religious and aristocratic business, anyway, there are many types, depending on the demand to hire.

In the same way, there is also a distinction between salesmen, their monthly salary is generally not high, the appearance of a gold coin, but there is a business commission, and there are special responsible for buying goods, responsible for selling goods, responsible for finding out news, responsible for dealing with unexpected affairs, the same is a wide variety, the same is the stronger the ability, the more monthly salary.

Also, there are different guys, guys in the shop, guys who run around with salesmen, guys who follow the warehouse, guys who follow caravans or escorts by land or sea.

It's that the janitor and the porter are not simple, these two are not the kind of coolies that can be done alone, you must first have the energy and force to guard the door, otherwise someone will come to steal and set fire and so on, you can't keep it, isn't it a big loss? The porter is also, you have to work part-time as an escort, and you don't have the combat power to meet the thieves and wait to be caught?

This is only in terms of personnel, but also about the storefront, where to do it, what kind of business, how big the business is, and so on, but the warehouse is a simple requirement.

Chen Haoran listened to this, his head was a little dizzy, but he still patiently made requests one by one, and watched the reactions of these intermediaries one by one, but when he saw a certain matter, an intermediary patted his chest, and others did not refute it even if they were unhappy, so if he didn't say anything, he handed over this matter to this intermediary who patted his chest to deal with.

After signing a few contracts at the notary office of the port office and paying a deposit, Chen Haoran finally breathed a sigh of relief, and now he is waiting for these people who run out to do things to bring the personnel for him to choose, and introduce the store or something to let him decide.

Well, bear with me for the time being, and when the people get up, they don't need to be so painful and busy, and then they will definitely just cross Erlang's legs and make their mouths!

Chen Haoran was waiting at the port office, and during the waiting period, he asked the idlers from the port office to help send food to his ship, but thinking about it, it seems that only Erha needs to eat, and it is no problem for those dead rabbits to eat or not. However, thanks to the Water Moon Rabbit, he naturally bought a large number of beautiful and strange foods to send over.

After doing this, Chen Haoran was ready to wait quietly, but the matter soon came, and he was ushered into a conference room by someone from the port office, and there were already more than a dozen people waiting in it.

When he was attracted early, Chen Haoran was told that this was the first mate recommended to him, and although four were required, even if he didn't choose one, he would have nothing to do with a new batch, of course, even if he chose all of them, he was also welcome.

Seeing these more than a dozen chief officer candidates, Chen Haoran nodded with satisfaction, not to mention anything else, just the feeling that these chief officer candidates gave him was that the force was very good.

And looking at the face, looking at the eyes, they should all be people with a neutral and partial position, well, if it is not a person with this position, the general port office will not dare to put it on the roster.

Chen Haoran is very satisfied with this, and this is why he directly asked the port office to help solve his own manpower problems. Not to mention going to the tavern to recruit people, damn it, it's not a game, who knows what kind of identity the people in this tavern are, and to what extent do you dare to be so simple to recruit people on board as soon as you meet and chat a few words?!

The candidates introduced by the Port Authority, if nothing else, are at least well known. Well, if you use fake documents to become a naturalized citizen like Chen Haoran, there is no way, but such a cautious guy will not come to covet you for a small chamber of commerce. Therefore, there is some guarantee in terms of credibility and character. As for loyalty, please don't you see that the people at the port office said as soon as they opened their mouths, "I dare to guarantee everything except loyalty?"

Loyalty is something that takes time and care to maintain.
