The Fourth Financial Crisis

He Mingyuan was also a master at observing words and emotions. He immediately noticed Yang Lu's strange reaction. He thought Yang Lu had discovered something wrong, so he quickly stepped forward and asked for instructions: "Consultant Yang, is there any problem with this roster?"

"There's no problem, it's just..."

With that said, Yang Lu spread the roster on the long spiritual wood table in front of him, pointed at one of the names and asked: "Is this newsboy named Shen Xiaotao also interviewed by you in person in the past two days?"

The people at the bottom of Haiya City basically don’t have any serious names.

It's just that Haiya City is based on ocean trade. Children and orphans from local poor families often have names like Xiaotao and Xiaobo, which are somewhat similar to Wang Mazi and Zhang Gouchen on Earth. It is said that in the Tianshu Mountains area ruled by the Mountain Eagle Sect, due to rampant monsters, the poor at the bottom would even name their children after common monsters.

Hearing Yang Lu's question, He Mingyuan was also a little confused:

Consultant Yang suddenly mentioned this newsboy. Is there any deeper meaning behind it?

He did not dare to neglect at all, and quickly used his brain to recall, and soon he had an idea: "I remembered, this newsboy is indeed the person I interviewed with my own eyes. He comes from a poor family and has never been to school since he was a child. But he taught himself how to read by selling newspapers, and his mind is very bright, and his family background is relatively innocent... Consultant Yang, is there something wrong with this person?"

There is nothing wrong with the man himself.

But Yang Lu vaguely remembered that after the conflict in Haiya Pavilion, Zhu Ziming specially arranged for local ruffians to take revenge on him. At that time, a little newsboy who had a good relationship with Murong took the initiative to tell Murong this important news at the risk of having his legs broken by the Zhu family's thugs. The name of this newsboy was Shen Xiaotao.

Although this news did not have any effect, Yang Lu still had a good impression of this righteous little friend.

It's a pity that Yang Lu hadn't officially joined the Qingning Chamber of Commerce at that time. Even if he wanted to thank this enthusiastic member, he couldn't spare any effort. He just sighed "the simple working people at the bottom" and left it alone, without taking it to heart. superior.

Unexpectedly, this person was chosen by He Mingyuan and became a candidate for the management trainee position of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce.

Since the newsboy had a good character, he casually told He Mingyuan: "Recruit this person for me first."

This unquestionable order surprised He Mingyuan.

Although Yang Lu is essentially the same as He Mingyuan, they are both migrant workers working for Li Qingning, but Yang Lu has no sense of being a migrant worker. Instead, he treats the Qingning Chamber of Commerce as his own business. Even Li Qingning himself does this. default.

If you don't know the inside story, you might think that Yang Lu and Li Qingning are in a relationship between the boss and the boss's wife!

It is precisely because of this that although Consultant Yang has a high and powerful position, he has never blatantly asked for benefits for himself. After all, no serious company boss would poach his own corner.

Seriously, this was the first time He Mingyuan saw Yang Lu expressly admit that he had opened the back door.

Hearing this, He Mingyuan immediately became energetic:

It is our honor as subordinates to help leaders open the back door!

But the question is, if Shen Xiaotao is really the relationship account arranged by Consultant Yang personally, why did Consultant Yang not see his name until he saw it. Did you just remember to mention this? But if he was not a person related to Consultant Yang, why did Consultant Yang separately ask to recruit him?

He Mingyuan didn't know that Yang Lu just said it casually.

Although he was very confused, He Mingyuan didn't dare to inquire about Yang Lu's private affairs even if he had some courage.

So he cautiously asked for instructions: "Uh... Consultant Yang, do I need to hide this from Miss Qingning?"

Yang Lu didn't take it seriously at all, and said casually: "You can handle this yourself! The biggest problem of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is the lack of business backbones. Your most important thing is to cultivate some trustworthy newcomers as soon as possible. You Do it well and don't cheat, I will check your teaching results from time to time!"

He Mingyuan said solemnly: "Promise to complete the task!"

Yang Lu threw the recruitment charter back to He Mingyuan, then rubbed his dark circles and said, "You will be responsible for the recruitment. I have other things to be busy with, so I won't see the guests off!"

After He Mingyuan bowed and left, Yang Lu was the only one left in the reception room of Qingning Chamber of Commerce. Looking at the mountains of documents on his desk, he couldn't help but feel a little worried:

It will take at least ten days and a half to get to Tianshu City. After such a long time, I don’t know how much business will be backlogged!

He missed the time when Murong was still here.

Even if Murong couldn't help him with his official duties, it would be nice to give him a shoulder massage!

Although Miss Li is a kind-hearted person, she is too cool to act as a business owner. Now everyone inside the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is saying that the president of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is not Li Qingning at all, but his consultant Yang!

Many people always think of management work as simple.

However, as long as you have done management work yourself, you will know that even for a unit with only three simple administrative levels and a total of several hundred people, the management problems can be described as myriad. What's more, the Qingning Chamber of Commerce managed by Yang Lu has thousands of people!

This does not include the grassroots miners who are not part of the Luan Shicheng Mine, as well as the temporary workers responsible for logistics and transportation.

Even if he sent a blank form and asked for basic personal information of chamber of commerce employees, such as name, age, home address, names of immediate family members, marital status, etc., Yang Lu even gave a template for filling in, and the notes clearly stipulated which relatives belonged to Immediate family members are required to fill in the return form on time by the stewards of each major branch.

If you continue to handle such a simple matter, you will receive countless letters in the next few days:

"Excuse me, Consultant Yang. Should I fill in the residential address or the actual residential address for my home address?"

"I run business back and forth between two cities. Should I fill in both, or can I just fill in one?"

"Should the age be filled in as years or one year?"

"I was born an orphan and can't remember my birth date. Can I just leave it blank?"

"One of our employees' father passed away. He went home to attend the funeral and couldn't be contacted. Can we postpone submitting the form for two days?"

These Chamber of Commerce employees are not deliberately causing trouble, but when Yang Lu assigns tasks as a leader, it is impossible to think about everything. This leads to the implementation of the tasks, and there will naturally be endless problems, and the people below do not dare to make decisions for the leaders casually. , which leads to the need for him to make a decision no matter how trivial the matter is.

This is the pain of being a dictator!

If you want your subordinates to make independent decisions, you have to bear the risk of losing control. You have to make the final decision yourself. Even if you understand everything, there will be so many things that you will be exhausted. The Wuliang Sword Sect's rigid approach to "rule Zhongzhou" by law is actually a no-brainer.

Such complicated problems are difficult to deal with even on earth with phones, WeChat, emails, and EXCEL.

In the Jiuzhou cultivation world, the thirty branches of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce in the southeastern part of Zhongzhou alone span more than 4,000 kilometers. The only means of long-distance instant communication is the use of precious strategic resources such as spiritual energy.

Fortunately, the illiteracy rate in the Jiuzhou cultivation world is not high, and the social organization is stronger than that of traditional ancient agricultural societies. The ordinary staff of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce can at least be literate, otherwise Yang Lu would not know how to carry out his work.

Whenever he was overwhelmed by the management work of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, Yang Lu envied certain protagonists in the novel.

These protagonists obviously have no management experience, but after traveling to another world, with their unrivaled fighting power, they can easily command hundreds of millions of people with ease.

The brain circuits of their subordinates are also very simple. Either they will accept the leadership of the protagonist honestly, or even if they are dissatisfied, they will only launch an armed rebellion. Management is as simple as playing a game. The most troublesome problems for ordinary dictators include cheating, cheating, passing the buck, deceiving superiors and concealing subordinates, subverting the law, practicing favoritism, cheating, non-violence and non-cooperation. These problems do not exist...

Although Yang Lu discovered He Mingyuan, a unique general from the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, and the abilities of several of He Mingyuan's cronies trained in the Luoxia City branch were very outstanding, Yang Lu could not let He Mingyuan and his team go without checks and balances. Monopoly of power.

It was precisely because Yang Lu was overwhelmed by his daily work that he immediately started the recruitment work of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce.

Putting the recruitment regulations aside for the time being, Yang Lu picked up another piece of material. This material was also handed over by He Mingyuan. The main content is a staged summary of the Luanshicheng Xuantie Mine case.

Looking at the name of Ji Sihan, the general manager of Xuantie Mine, Yang Lu couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

The Luanshicheng mine management team led by Manager Ji has defended the corruption case so well that it has even repeatedly frustrated the investigation led by He Mingyuan. This ability can be said to be quite powerful, and the two of them are already incompatible. , if there is anyone within the Qingning Chamber of Commerce who still has the ability to check and balance He Mingyuan, it is undoubtedly this person. It's just that Ji Sihan may have fled to the island, which puts Yang Lu out of reach.

The outlying islands are a well-known lawless place in the Kyushu cultivation world, and the influence of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce on the outlying islands is almost zero. Going to the outlying islands to arrest people at personal risk seems a bit unreliable no matter how you think about it.

What's more, the situation on the outlying islands seems to be somewhat turbulent recently.

According to "Xu Zhen Financial Weekly", the forces of the Fire Cloud State began to penetrate into the outlying islands a few months ago. The Wuliang Sword Sect also immediately responded and began to intervene in the situation on the outlying islands in an attempt to thwart the plans of the Fire Cloud State. The forces supported by both sides have already Several rounds of confrontations took place, which made the situation in the entire region increasingly volatile. Although the Wuliang Sword Sect stated that the situation on the outlying islands was still stable and that the Shenhuo Sect's conspiracy would never succeed, Yang Lu always felt that things were not that simple...

Yang Lu thought for a moment and decided to let it go.

Now that he has just stepped into the Immortal Sect, the most important thing is the issue of cultivation. Anyway, he has a cultivation plug-in in hand. He usually does not need to retreat and chant sutras like ordinary cultivators. As long as he lives long enough, this kind of management problem will be solved sooner or later!

Compared with the many problems of chamber of commerce management, the problems of cultivation are much simpler.

Relying on the cheating skills he cultivated in his dream, Yang Lu has successfully broken through to the first level of Qi refining in the past two days, which is exactly the same as the cultivation progress predicted by the dream world data panel, with almost no error.

When Yang Lu successfully advanced to the first level of Qi Refining, his dream world's personal panel also changed accordingly:

Designated practitioner: Yang Lu

Cultivation realm: Level 1 of Qi refining

Practiced progress: 0% (+3%)

Heavenly merit: 12115/40000 (+112), a golden wheel of merit

Estimated remaining time to advance: twenty-nine days

Cultivation of longevity: The initial life span is eighty-three years, and the life span is increased by two years. The life span has been twenty years, ten months and six days, and the remaining life span is sixty-four years, one month and twenty-four days.

…

Obviously, not only did his cultivation level improve, but his heavenly merits also showed a slight improvement.

It's a pity that Yang Lu can't check the source of his heavenly merits through his personal panel.

Therefore, he still doesn't know whether the extra heavenly merits are brought by managing the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, the Lingshi Reserve Bank, or whether he helped the old lady cross the road.

After reaching the state of drawing Qi into the body, Yang Lu also learned several very practical basic spells from Li Qingning.

Among them are [Great Movement] which is used to move objects, [Lion's Roar] which is used as a human loudspeaker, and the basic spell [Magic Movement] which is used to travel.

For low-level monks who cannot fly in the air, magic is the most commonly used hurried spell.

After performing the Divine Movement, Yang Lu felt as if his body had been strengthened by some mysterious power and gained endless physical strength. No matter how fast he runs, he won't feel tired. To use an analogy, it's like he suddenly has an invisible exoskeleton device.

The Tianshu area is adjacent to the Haiya area, and the straight-line distance between the two main cities is not far, only more than 300 kilometers. With his full use of the magic technique, it only takes three or four days to reach Tianshu City.

Of course, Divine Movement is just a transitional spell. If he reaches the fourth level of Qi Refining, he can control the light escape and fly in the air. Even the slowest light escape can be achieved over a distance of only a few hundred kilometers. Evening arrives.

Originally, Li Qingning wanted to take Yang Lu to Tianshu City in person to see the world. However, the Haiya City Immortality Conference has just ended, and the overseas trade of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is about to restart. If Li Qingning and Yang Lu both leave the chamber of commerce headquarters, no one in the Qingning Chamber of Commerce can make decisions.

No matter how big-hearted Li Qingning is, he can't let He Mingyuan, a guy with a criminal record, have full decision-making power.

With Li Qingning staying at the Chamber of Commerce headquarters, it was impossible for Butler Zhou to leave his eldest daughter alone in Haiya City and go to Tianshu City hundreds of miles away to work as a bodyguard for Yang Lu.

Fortunately, Xu Yannan also knew that Yang Lu had many enemies, so he specially sent Chen Ping, Yang Lu's senior brother and the real "Meishan Swordsman", to escort him to Tianshu City.

It has been nearly ten years since Chen Ping entered the Immortal Sect, but his cultivation level is only at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

This is mainly because his spiritual qualifications are relatively poor, and his academic research has been reduced to the point where he has to hire ghostwriters. If it were not for the "money power" given by his family, it would be impossible for him to become a student of Xu Yannan, a rising star in cultivation economics.

Xu Yannan had no choice but to accept Chen Ping as his apprentice.

No matter how knowledgeable he is, he still has to be careful!

However, money ability is also a type of ability. Sometimes, it is even more useful than other abilities.

As one of the richest people in the Haiya family, the Chen family in Haiya City is second only to the four major families in the Haiya family in terms of money making ability. Although Chen Ping's cultivation level is mediocre, the magic weapons, elixirs, and talismans all over his body are top-notch goods.

According to Li Qingning, if Chen Ping exerts all his strength, he can completely crush Li Wen, the late-stage Qi Refining killer from Ting He Yu Pavilion. As long as Yang Lu keeps a low profile, it is more than enough for him to have Senior Brother Chen as his bodyguard.

Early the next morning, Yang Lu was ready to set off.

After saying goodbye to Li Qingning, Xu Yannan and others, Yang Lu packed up a few pieces of clothes that he usually changed, carefully locked up the "Infinite Heart Sutra - From Beginner to Mastery", and then issued ten 10,000 yuan bills from Haiya Bank The bearer check of Lingshi Coin handed over the business of Qingning Chamber of Commerce to Li Qingning and He Mingyuan respectively.

After Li Qingning personally saw them off, Yang Lu and Chen Ping gathered outside the gate of Haiya City, and then headed straight for Tianshu City along the stone official road paved by Haiya City.
