[Titanic] Harbor

Joseph and Green made an appointment to meet at two o'clock in the afternoon.When Boss Joseph finished his lunch break, Green arrived at his office on time.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Green."

"Good afternoon." After a brief greeting, Green and Joseph settled down to discuss.

Xio professionally sat at a position not far from the two of them, and took on his job as a secretary.

Joseph also had a secretary. There was a brief nod between the two secretaries, and then the boss of the steamship company frowned and found that his male secretary was completely inferior to Green's.

"Mr. Green's secretary is really good. Standing alone, he is also a handsome gentleman!" Joseph praised Xio as the beginning of this conversation.

His own secretary has long been accustomed to listening to the boss's speech, and he doesn't even have any redundant expressions.

Hugh didn't show any dissatisfaction either.The boss on the opposite side was praising him, and there was no lack of sincerity in his tone. Secretary White smiled approvingly on the surface, and he looked at the Privy Councilor. He also smiled with Joseph, and seemed very proud of it.

The dark dissatisfaction in Xio's heart grew again.The status of a secretary or an assistant is between a domestic servant and a cleaner, and it is far from being glorious. Even if his salary is not low, his social status is even worse than that of a country gentleman who is about to go bankrupt. Some.

When he first entered Green's company, the Privy Councilor just nodded indifferently to him, even stinging at giving him extra glances.

One of them is a high-ranking boss, and the other is a work-study, poor student who graduated with difficulty. Even the maids and cooks can look at him wantonly with sympathy and disdain.

How many nights, he worked overtime and worked hard, continued the hard work and diligence during his studies, memorized countless files, and was able to repeat the materials needed by the boss in the first place, and was finally appreciated by the Privy Councilor, at least in terms of quality of life has risen.

Hugh's camouflage skills were pretty good, except for the fact that he clasped his trouser legs too hard, he could even thank Joseph for his appreciation: "It's an honor to receive your praise."

Hugh's modesty made Joseph laugh out loud. After the middle-aged, bald American man eased the atmosphere, he turned around and talked with Green about business matters.

"Navigation is a well-developed and promising industry. I have some data here to prove it. Mr. Green's outstanding performance in that matter is amazing. You should know that you have become a leader in American business circles." New favorite, if you are interested in investing in my company, both me and the man behind me are very welcome."

"But as far as I know, Mr. Joseph, this company is not the only company under your control. Your other businesses will also provide you with a lot of funds every year."

"I do have other businesses, and we all understand a truth, don't put all your eggs in the same basket." Joseph said proudly: "But this company is like my child. Frankly speaking, in this company Here, I get the most benefits. It is for this reason that I am willing to introduce this company to you and let us make profits together."

Every word of the steamship company owner can't be separated from his family's steamship company, but the more he invites Green to buy shares in his company, it can only show that his financial situation is not optimistic.

"Traditional shipping business is indeed very profitable. Several other friends of mine who are engaged in shipping business have also said so. In fact, I am more interested in whether you have any novel ideas here?"

Green took a sip of tea, and he was ready for a protracted battle.Since he chose this company, he will definitely be able to eat this company.

Green can become a privy adviser at this age, he actually does not rely on some genius subordinates, or amazing personality charm.

He has an advanced investment vision and dares to try.Although from the outside, he is an old-fashioned British gentleman, his strict and rigid temper has penetrated into his bones, and it is reflected in the top button of his suit that he always fastens.

But when he was in business, this man was often able to abandon all mundane rules and use the most unimaginable means to complete classic business cases one after another.

"A novel point of view?" Joseph scratched his few hairs.This action is a little rude, he was born badly, and he didn't receive a good education.It's just that he made money at the right time, so even though he married a wife with a background, he was often called a nouveau riche by others behind his back.

"I heard a whimsical story recently. Of course, according to my experience, it can only be a joke." Joseph slapped his head, thinking of what an applicant said during his previous interview.

"Then I'll listen to it as a story." Green smiled, showing interest in it.

Joseph is noncommittal about this, but he is also happy to tell an entertaining story for the future partner in front of him.

"The lady mentioned the war." His opening is very attractive. "She came up with a concept called 'logistics.' It was unheard of!"

"She mainly mentioned transportation and warehousing. She thinks that home delivery can increase the number of customers of the company, and more interestingly, she also thinks that in the future, the rise of this industry called 'logistics' can reduce the cost of the company If you use it, you can even determine the success or failure of a war!"

Green listened calmly.Xio sat beside him, quietly looking at his boss.He felt that there was nothing brilliant about this story, and what was said was vague and completely alarmist.

But Green didn't show any expression change.

Hugh was a little puzzled by this.Joseph learned about Green's personality through his business contacts and style.However, as a secretary, Xio decided whether what he said was correct by pondering every move of his boss.

At this time, Green didn't change his expression, which was really the biggest change!

"Mr. Green, are you... not really thinking about the feasibility of this situation?"

"Of course not." Green smiled and expressed his opinion. "This idea is really bizarre. Perhaps this imaginer also provided you with detailed settings?"

"That's not true." Joseph shook his head, he quickly forgot the episode just now, this Mr. Green and his brother-in-law are the same kind of people, smiling but talking nonsense all the time!

He moved a little closer to Green, as if to say something secret, but in fact, he just whispered in Green's ear, "You know why the interviewer said such nonsense, I still listened to it." , and does it have a deep memory?"

That's because you are ignorant!Green's impression of Joseph plummeted, but he didn't have any personal likes and dislikes in the mall, so he still cooperated and asked in a low voice, "Why is that?"

"Because, it was a young lady who came for the interview. We can always tolerate the unconstrained thoughts of a beauty. Unfortunately, she finally realized her ignorance and rejected my employment."

What Joseph said was not without regret.

But Green also had to make some assumptions, because the female identity Joseph described was too young. Perhaps this point of view came from the elders in her family. In recent years, there have been more and more rebellious women.

If you want to come out to work, you must at least coordinate related issues with your family.Green has also recruited several women over the past few years.After all, when it comes to legitimate public relations issues, the success rate of women is always higher, which is an inherent advantage.

But after he tried it, he found that the troubles women caused in family and life far exceeded the value they created, so in the end, Green's subordinates were only a few female employees, all of whom were older.

"Okay, let's get down to business and talk about business matters." Joseph tried his best to promote his business.

Green dealt with him patiently, unwilling to let go of the conversation, but his words were indifferent, making Joseph like a bald donkey with a carrot hanging in front of his head, unable to reach him, but always holding on to hope.

The conversation between Green and Joseph lasted for half an hour, and the content of the conversation was already unconstrained.Basically every time they start with "Let's talk about business matters", but they end with some interesting social things.

Joseph is not really an idiot. He has been unable to get the topic back on track and let him notice it. In the end, he simply lowered his face and said in a threatening tone: "Mr. I have a deep understanding. Then why didn't you make a decision early? Or, you have a deep respect for the adult behind the company and want to visit in person before making a decision?"

As soon as Joseph said this, his own secretary and Xio both showed horrible expressions.Such a straightforward threat will not work if you think about it.

Green glanced at Joseph, he stood up, and did not back down as Joseph thought, but said: "I think your company is very different from what I expected, so... I may have to think again .”

"Mr. Green!" Joseph stood up hurriedly, wanting to redeem himself. He realized that he had said something stupid, because if he couldn't win over this Mr. Green, his brother-in-law would not let him go of.

But Green didn't give him more chances to explain, and left in a hurry.It's a lot like getting angry after being threatened, but who knows what it's like?

Carrying the briefcase, Xio gathered all the materials he had obtained from Joseph before. His boss left, so he naturally had to leave as soon as possible.

Before leaving, he looked at Joseph's way of trying to save him, hesitated a little, and finally made up his mind. He took a blank piece of paper, wrote down his contact information, and handed it to Joseph's secretary: "This It's my contact information. My boss may be angry, if there are any changes in the future, we'd better get in touch."
