Rebirth in America: Great Slave Owner: Chapter 27 Rockefeller

"John, I admit that the wholesale of agricultural products you said is a good business, but this business is too risky and requires too much capital!" In a small room in New York, a young man with flaxen hair Complained to his companion who was reading the newspaper.

"Morris, I know what you said, but there's no risk in doing business, and we don't have any other better options..." The words were just halfway through, and they were called John's young man suddenly couldn't help exclaiming: "Oh my God! Goebbels Electric Lighting Company is hiring a manager!"

"Goebbels Electric Company? The one that specializes in installing electric lights in the homes of rich people?" Morris asked curiously.

John nodded and replied, "That's right, it's that company, and it actually pays fifty dollars a month!"

The reason why John is so excited is that his salary in the first three months of his last job was only fifty dollars, and he had been doing this job for three years, although the employer appreciated him very much and kept him Reuse, but he didn't give him a salary increase, so he resigned. He originally wanted to do agricultural product wholesale with his friend Morris, but when he saw this job posting, he was instantly moved!

The job advertisement in the newspaper was naturally posted by Tangning. How could a research madman like Goebbels have the heart to take care of such mundane matters?

The reason why Tangning wanted to hire a manager was because he really didn't have much time to stay in New York, but now that there are two projects, the electric light company and the sleeper carriage, there must be a competent person to follow. That's why this is released. Job advertisement.

Because Tangning's salary was high enough, many people came to apply for the job. Looking at the long queue, Morris muttered to John with some confidence, "John, there are still so many people ahead, will it not be our turn yet? Are we already hired?"

John shrugged and said, "I don't know about this either, but since we're here, we can't leave now, at least we have to see if there is a chance!"

Fortunately, until it was John's turn to play, he didn't hear the disbandment notice, so John breathed a sigh of relief and followed the mixed-race beauty who came to call into the interview room.

Tangning took the "resume" that John handed over (it was made by Tangning herself, there was no such thing as a resume at the time), and then casually said to John, "Mr. Rockefeller, please be yourself..."

But before she could finish speaking, Tangning was stunned. After a few seconds, she raised her head and stared at John and asked, "You, your surname is Rockefeller?"

John was stunned by Tangning's question. He nodded and replied, "Yes, my name is John-Davidson-Rockefeller. It's written on the paper, Mr. Tangning!"

Tangning shook her head, forcing herself to calm down, and then said to John, "Mr. Rockefeller, please introduce yourself and be more detailed!"

John organized the language, and then said slowly: "I started working as a bookkeeper at HEWITT company three years ago, in 1855, and then..."

Originally, John thought Tangning would ask him some questions about his position, but he did not expect Tangning to ask an irrelevant question, "Excuse me, Mr. Rockefeller, do you usually do charity?"

John nodded and replied, "Although I don't earn much, I have been insisting on giving one-tenth of my income to charity since I got my first salary!"

Hearing this, Tangning had already determined that the 18-year-old boy in front of him was a future oil tycoon, known as "the man who saw God's secret" (the name of Rockefeller's autobiography...), and the first person in American history. billionaire and the world's richest man.

I read his autobiography before I traveled, and it is true that he was unknown until the Civil War. After the Civil War, he began to invest in the oil refining industry, and he is a well-known philanthropist. Insist on giving a tenth of your income to charity. (Follows Christian tithe)

I really didn't expect that I would be able to recruit such a talented person just by posting a job advertisement. Although I am certain that he will not work here for a few years, it is estimated that after the end of the Civil War, he will still resign and run to refine oil, but it can make a person. The future richest man in the world is working for himself. This is definitely something to be proud of.

So Tangning immediately said, "Congratulations, Mr. Rockefeller, you got the job, let's sign the contract now!" Then she instructed Isabel to inform the people outside that they didn't have to wait any longer.

Although Rockefeller felt that Tangning recognized him so quickly, it was a bit confusing, but it was a good thing after all, so he signed a contract with Tangning.

However, after learning about the work contents that Tangning explained, Rockefeller summoned up his courage and said to Tangning, "Boss, I have a small suggestion. I wonder if I can say it?"

Tangning waved her hand, "Just say it!"

"Boss, you have two main jobs for me, UU reading www.uukanshu.com but I am only one person after all, so I hope to recruit a temporary assistant by myself, so that I can focus on the luxury car project, Then the assistant will be responsible for the installation of the electric light company, and the temporary assistant can be resigned after the luxury car runs smoothly, of course, his salary will be deducted from my salary by twenty dollars!" Rockefeller explained.

"Listen to what you mean, you should already have a suitable candidate for this temporary assistant in your mind, right?" Tangning guessed.

Rockefeller nodded and replied, "That's right, he is my good friend Maurice Clark. He applied for the job with me today!"

Tangning recalled that in the early days, Rockefeller did join forces with a friend named Clark, but when they became big, their ideas diverged, so Rockefeller borrowed heavily to buy Clark's shares, and the two parted ways.

Looking at it this way, he should also be a talented person, so Tangning nodded and agreed, "Okay, let's hire this Mr. Clark as an assistant, but it's not a temporary thing, and his salary doesn't need to be included in your salary. After deduction, I will directly send him twenty dollars a month!"

PS: I once thought of writing a book based on a supporting character I liked very much in my best book "Rebirth of India: The First Class". The protagonist was also the factory manager at the beginning, but after writing a few chapters, I found that I didn't write it well at all, so when I saw this book "Trend 1990 Begins with the Factory Manager", I immediately became interested, and planned to learn from other people's successful experience and see if I could improve that beginning!

In addition, I would like to thank the book friends for their support of "Is there a good title for the box crab"!
