1855 United States Tycoon

"I think your job search method must be changed." Scrooge said to John Rockefeller.

"Then how should I change it?" John Rockefeller said, "Scrooge, your head is flexible, do you have any ideas."

"Let me think about it." Scrooge said, and after a while, he asked, "Well, John, do you have a business card?"

Business cards have existed since that time. Even John Rockefeller’s father, Bill Rockefeller, had a lot of business cards with various titles compiled by Bill, such as a genius doctor, a pharmacist, and a United States. The vice president of the Cancer Prevention and Treatment Association, what new medical experts, and so on.

"Hey, why didn't I think of this! My dad would use this thing best. But, Scrooge, I don't know how much it costs to print a business card, and, do you think I should print it on the business card? What? Well, graduates from business school, can keep accounts and understand business law-how?"

"This is too common." Scrooge remembered his job hunting situation in his previous life. At that time, he printed a book-like recommendation material, which was densely packed with various achievements he had made. , This includes not only the various achievements he has made with his boss in the research institute, but also his own article catalogs published in various journals. It also includes the various awards that I won when I was in undergraduate, and I even had a second time when I was in elementary school. In addition, he also built a personal webpage for himself, and the advertising efforts are really...

"I don't want to carry out false propaganda." Rockefeller misunderstood Scrooge's meaning. He felt that he could not make a big business by deceiving like his father Bill did. "Your father is a very smart person. If he is upright One point, he will be much stronger than now." This is John Rockefeller's mother Aliza's evaluation of his father. John felt that his mother's statement was very reasonable, and if Bill had a reputation for integrity, he would definitely be able to make more money. For a small amount of money, he went to swindle, and then quickly completely ruined his reputation in one place, and then went to another place to repeat the story. Although it seems that he easily scammed money in any place, but He couldn't take root in any place, and he couldn't continue to develop. John Rockefeller didn't want to be like Bill, his ambitions were much greater. "I know that reputation is not worthless. In fact, he is very valuable. I don't want to ruin reputation for such a small amount of money like him. Even if it is... it must be for a much larger amount of money."

"No, John, I'm not asking you to make false propaganda. Lying for such a thing is definitely not worth the gain. But haven't you heard that,'The most deceiving thing is not a lie, but the fact'? As long as you Will use the most appropriate way to tell that part of the facts. Some things, different description methods, the results are completely different. For example, "knowledge book", can't you say "have many years of bookkeeping experience, proficient All kinds of bookkeeping skills'? Isn't this true? Are there any existing bookkeeping skills that you do not know?"

"But,'have years of accounting experience' this is not right." John Rockefeller said."I heard Aliza Aunt say that you have been accounting for family expenses since the age of 7. So, there is nothing wrong with my statement, right?" Scrooge laughed, and John Rockefeller followed suit. Laughed.

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

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

The styles of these leather shoes are popular in future generations. According to some people, these popular things in later generations can't show off the eyes of those soil buns who spent the eighteenth century in that era. However, the soil buns are the soil buns. Old Joseph shook his head at these drawings and said, "Scrooge, it seems that you are really not suitable for being a shoemaker. How did you design something so unworthy? Look at the shoes that you designed like this, you can wear them for a month at most, they will change their appearance, and they will be finished in half a year-how can this work? Then our reputation will be over!"

Scrooge knew that Joseph's evaluation of these shoes that they were finished in half a year was absolutely correct, because in this era, the intensity of the use of shoes far exceeds that of future generations. Because this era is still an era in which transportation basically depends on walking. For example, John Rockefeller is looking for a job, no matter where the company is going to apply for, no matter how far it is, he walked past it on foot. In addition, the road conditions in this era are much worse than those of later generations, and the wear and tear on shoes is also greater. Therefore, it is normal that the shoes of future generations whose first pursuit is good-looking and comfortable are inferior products in the eyes of people of this era.

"Hey, I only consider portability and good-looking." Scrooge said.

"In fact, maybe the kids from rich people would like this kind of stuff, but they won't come to our shop to buy shoes, and our customers are all hard-working." Carol wanted to help Scrooge. Two good words, but when it comes to the back, well, he is not optimistic about Scrooge's design.

"Hey, it seems that Gold Finger is not that easy to open. Let's hug the golden thighs honestly." Scrooge thought, "I don't know how John's job is going."

John Rockefeller is moving towards today's first goal. He still hasn't found his ideal job until now, but he is quite satisfied with the recent situation. In the past, he could run more than ten companies a day, but yesterday he only ran six companies. This is because the person in charge of the two companies talked to him, which took a lot of time. Although in the end, the two persons in charge said that they still need to consider 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 was at least stronger than the previous few days. Isn't it a lot?

The first company John was looking for today was the Hewitt Tuttle Company. When he walked into this company and asked someone who was walking out, who looked like an ordinary employee, that he wanted to meet the boss of this company, the “employee who seemed to be going to do something” "Stopped.

"Oh, what do you want, young man? I'm Tuttle, the boss of this company." The man stopped and replied politely.

This kind of experience completely exceeded John Rockefeller's expectations, so he was a bit stunned, and after a while he thought of own's words for self-recommendation.

"Sir, I hope I can work in your company. I can keep accounts. I have received training from Folsom Business School. I also understand a little economic law. I can endure hardships and be serious. I hope you can give me a chance. ."

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

"Sir, I have taken courses such as double-entry bookkeeping, clear writing, banking and foreign exchange business law, but the most important thing is bookkeeping." John Rockefeller quickly replied, and then added, "I graduated with equal grades. OK."

"I happen to need someone who can keep accounts here," Tuttle said. "But I have an urgent matter. I want to go out immediately. Can you come back in the afternoon?"

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

The other companies in today’s plan are very far away. If you go there, I’m afraid you will be back late in the afternoon. It’s not a good idea to keep future bosses waiting. And Mr. Tuttle seems to really need such a bookkeeper. He has a high probability of hiring John, so John decided to stop trying his luck with other companies today, and just wait nearby.

John Rockefeller was waiting on the street near the company. He waited from 9:30 in the morning to 1:00 in the afternoon, only to see a public carriage parked near the company, and a person walked into the company after getting off the carriage. "The boss is back?" John Rockefeller walked into the company as he thought, and asked a real employee: "Is Mr. Tuttle back?"

"Not yet. But Mr. Hewitt is here," the employee replied.

Hewitt is another partner of this company. John Rockefeller met this gentleman smoothly.

"Ah, Tuttle mentioned it to me. He said someone would come here to apply for a job in the afternoon. Let me see if it works. You came very early." Hewitt said, "I will tell you that you will keep the bill for you? "

"Yes, sir, from the age of five, all the financial income and expenditure of my family have been recorded by me." John Rockefeller said, "From May to August this year, I received another three at Folsom Business School. Months of accounting training."

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

"Mr. Tuttle didn't have time to talk to me, but before I came, I learned that your company's business is very broad." John Rockefeller was very calm.

"Then Tuttle told you that besides bookkeeping, maybe you also need to take on some other tasks, such as collecting accounts? Are you willing to do it?"

"I can do well, sir, you can rely on me." John Rockefeller said.

"Well, you can come to work with us tomorrow. The probation period is three months and there is no salary during the probation period. Can you accept it?"

There is no salary during the probation period, which is absolutely illegal in future generations, but it is indeed a practice in this era when there is no proletarian revolution and therefore no labor protection law. So John had no objection to this, he quickly said to Hewitt:

"Yes, I can, thank you, boss! You are such a kind and good person, God will bless you." Then he handed him a good person card.
