I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

After successfully solving the problems of overseas warehouse site selection and employee language communication, Chen Jia and Chen Jue were not satisfied with the status quo. They knew that if they wanted to carry out long-term and in-depth business activities in places such as Daqin and Persia, they must have a deep understanding of the living habits of local residents, and further optimize the standards for hiring overseas warehouse personnel based on this, and at the same time cultivate a group of talents who are proficient in both Daqing language and Persian language, and set up a transit station based on this to make business exchanges smoother and more efficient.

On this day, the study room of the Chen Mansion was filled with the faint scent of tea, and the sunlight shone through the window onto the desk covered with maps and materials. Chen Jia and Chen Jue sat opposite each other, surrounded by books and survey reports on the customs and habits of places such as the Arabs and Persia. Chen Jia gently opened a volume that recorded the living habits of the Arabs in detail and broke the silence first: "Husband, although we have made some progress in the overseas market, if we want to make our business more stable and prosperous, we must have a deep understanding of the living habits of people in places such as the Arabs and Persia. This will not only help us adjust our products to meet local needs, but also guide us to change the standards for hiring overseas warehouse personnel so that they can better serve our business activities."

Chen Jue nodded slightly, his eyes fell on a painting depicting the city of Persia, and he said thoughtfully: "My lady, what you said is very true. The living habits in different regions vary greatly, and these differences will be reflected in various aspects such as product demand, working methods, and interpersonal communication. For example, most people in the Arab world and Persia believe in Islam, and their lives revolve around religious customs. We must fully consider these factors in the design, packaging, and warehouse operations of our products. As for the standards for hiring personnel, people with common sense of local life and cultural understanding can better communicate with local customers and handle various matters."

Chen Jia put down the book and said seriously: "My husband, I think we can start from many aspects. First, organize special personnel to conduct a more in-depth and detailed study of the living habits of Daqin, Persia and other places, including their diet, clothing, housing, festivals and other aspects, and compile detailed information. Then, based on these research results, re-establish the employment standards for overseas warehouse personnel, and give priority to those who are familiar with local culture and respect local customs. At the same time, increase efforts to cultivate talents who are proficient in both Daqing language and Persian language, and build a more solid bridge for our commercial exchanges. In addition, it is also urgent to set up a transit station, which can make the allocation of goods and the transmission of information more convenient and efficient."

Chen Jue thought for a moment and added, "Madam, you have considered it very comprehensively. When studying local living habits, we must pay attention to details, such as differences in preferences in different regions, the symbolic meanings of colors and patterns, etc. These details may affect the sales of products. For employment standards, in addition to cultural aspects, we must also examine the work ability and sense of responsibility of personnel. In terms of cultivating bilingual talents, we can cooperate with local universities and colleges to provide favorable conditions to attract students with language talents to participate in training. The location of the transfer station is also crucial. It should be selected at a transportation hub with a strong business atmosphere to facilitate the distribution of goods and the gathering of information."

Chen Jia's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "My husband's ideas are great! In this way, we can grasp market demand more accurately and optimize operational management. Then we will quickly arrange personnel and each do their job. First, select people with expertise in cultural research to deeply explore local living habits, publish a new overseas warehouse recruitment notice, discuss cooperation in bilingual talent training with major universities, and send experienced personnel to investigate the location of the transfer station."

Chen Jue nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's act now without further delay."

Soon, Chen Jia and Chen Jue gathered people from all parties and arranged related tasks. Chen Jia said to several knowledgeable scholars: "Gentlemen, this time I would like to ask you to conduct in-depth research on the living habits of Daqin, Persia and other places, from daily life to social etiquette, from festivals and celebrations to aesthetic preferences, and record them in detail. These research results will have a significant impact on our business decisions, so they must be comprehensive and accurate."

A scholar said respectfully: "Madam, rest assured, we will do our best to consult various books and communicate with merchants and travelers who have been to the area, and strive to present the most detailed information."

Chen Jue then said to his subordinate in charge of recruitment: "When you post the recruitment notice for overseas warehouse personnel, you must clearly emphasize the requirement of being familiar with the local culture. During the interview process, focus on the applicants' understanding of the customs of the Arab and Persian cultures, as well as their ability to adapt to different cultural environments."

The subordinate answered seriously: "Don't worry, Duke. I will strictly screen talents according to the requirements and recruit the most suitable personnel for the overseas warehouse."

After arranging the recruitment, Chen Jia said to the subordinate who was responsible for communicating with the colleges and universities: "You go and negotiate with local colleges and universities about cooperating in the training of bilingual talents. Explain our needs and favorable conditions to them to attract more potential students to participate. The curriculum should focus on practicality, not only teaching language knowledge, but also integrating local culture and business knowledge."

The subordinate received the order and said, "Madam, I will actively communicate with the various colleges and universities to ensure the smooth development of the cooperation."

Finally, Chen Jue said to several experienced business people: "You guys go to the major cities of the Arab Empire and Persia to investigate suitable locations for setting up transit stations. You need to comprehensively consider factors such as transportation convenience, surrounding business environment, and land costs, and select the best site plan for us."

Several business people said in unison: "Don't worry, Duke. We will live up to your trust."

A few days later, scholars who were responsible for studying local living habits brought in preliminary research results. One scholar said, "Duke, Madam, we found that the Arabs and Persians like bright colors and exquisite embroidery in their clothes, and pay attention to the use of spices in their diet. Moreover, they have unique meanings for numbers and patterns. For example, the number '7' is regarded as an auspicious number, and some geometric patterns have special meanings in religion."

After listening carefully, Chen Jia said, "This information is very important. We can incorporate these elements into product design, such as using auspicious numbers or meaningful patterns on packaging to attract local consumers. The layout of the warehouse can also refer to their preferred styles to create a friendly atmosphere."

Chen Jue nodded in agreement: "At the same time, we need to convey this knowledge to employees in overseas warehouses so that they can show respect and understanding for local culture when interacting with local customers."

The progress in recruiting overseas warehouse personnel is also very smooth. A local applicant said in the interview: "I grew up in Persia and am familiar with every local festival and custom. I know which topics are popular and which should be avoided when communicating with customers. Moreover, I have some experience in business operations and I believe I can contribute to your company's overseas warehouse management."

After the subordinate in charge of the interview reported the situation to Chen Jia and Chen Jue, Chen Jia said: "This kind of talent is exactly what we need. Not only are they familiar with the local culture, but they also have business experience. We need to finalize the list of personnel as soon as possible and have them start training as soon as possible."

In terms of cooperating with colleges and universities to cultivate bilingual talents, we have also achieved positive results. The dean of a well-known academy said: "Duke Chen, Madam Chen, we are very interested in this project of cooperating to cultivate bilingual talents. We will arrange the best language teachers to teach, and invite scholars familiar with the culture of the Arabs and Persians to give lectures, to ensure that we can cultivate talents that meet your needs."

Chen Jue said: "Thank you for the support of the dean. I hope our cooperation can go smoothly and cultivate more outstanding talents for business exchanges."

At the same time, the personnel who were investigating the site selection of the transfer station also sent back the news. One of the investigators said: "Prince, Madam, we have found two very promising sites in Isfahan, Persia and Baghdad, the Caliphate. Isfahan is one of the cultural and commercial centers of Persia, with convenient transportation, prosperous surrounding businesses, and relatively reasonable land costs. Baghdad is the political and economic center of the Caliphate, with a superior geographical location and a well-developed logistics network, but the land price is relatively high."

After Chen Jia and Chen Jue carefully weighed the options, Chen Jue said, "My dear, I think Isfahan and Baghdad both have their own advantages. We can set up a comprehensive transit station in Isfahan to be responsible for the storage, sorting and partial allocation of goods. We can also set up a small information transit station in Baghdad, taking advantage of its status as a political and economic center to obtain business information in a timely manner and provide support for our decision-making."

Chen Jia nodded and said, "My husband's arrangement is very appropriate. We can reasonably allocate resources and personnel according to the different functions of the two transfer stations. At the same time, we can strengthen the connection and cooperation between the two to ensure the efficient operation of the entire business network."

With the orderly progress of various tasks, Chen Jia and Chen Jue's business layout in Daqin, Persia and other places has become more and more perfect. Their products optimized according to local living habits have been warmly welcomed. The newly hired overseas warehouse personnel familiar with local culture have made operations smoother. The trained bilingual talents have played an important role in business exchanges, and the established transfer stations have made the flow of goods and information more convenient and efficient.

On a quiet night, Chen Jia and Chen Jue strolled in the garden of the Chen Mansion, reviewing their efforts and achievements during this period. Chen Jia said with emotion: "Husband, we have come step by step, and every decision is related to the rise and fall of the business. Now it is gratifying to see that everything is moving in a good direction."

Chen Jue held Chen Jia's hand and said with a smile: "My dear, this is the result of our joint efforts. In the future, we will face more challenges, but as long as we work together and constantly adapt to market changes, we will be able to expand our business territory."

The moonlight shines on them, illuminating their determined figures, and their business legend continues to write new chapters on this land.
