Chapter 277
Three days later, the job fair carefully planned by Wang Dafu was extremely grandly opened. For this job fair, Wang Dafu also took a lot of effort. Not only did he find and design many related issues in navigation and set up a detailed recruitment plan, but because he was not convenient for him to be the chief examiner, he also specially invited a beautiful Zhen to come forward to take charge of the assessment and interview.
If we talk about the assessment questions arranged by Wang Dafu did take some effort and included many subtle, complex and trivial details of navigation. It is difficult for professionals to get away with this aspect.
From Wang Dafu's perspective, his main purpose this time is to recruit a group of professionals who can serve as captains, chief mates, and rudder commanders, rather than ordinary boatmen and sailors. Naturally, the assessment should be more severe.
Originally, Wang Dafu was full of confidence in this job fair. After all, where is the prosperity of maritime trade in Quanzhou Prefecture? You can find large-scale senior navigators by walking around the dock. I believe it should be a very simple thing to recruit a few suitable personnel, but who knows... the situation after the real job fair started made Wang Dafu disappointed!
It is definitely not that no one can do it, but that few people can understand the questions on the test paper. This "understanding" also refers specifically to those who are literate. Even a limited number of literate people do not understand the content of the test paper, let alone those who are illiterate at all!
"Well~~This... Dalang? Could it be because the question you designed is too complicated?" The chief examiner Zhen Damei said with a questioning face covering the left couplet.
"...Is there any difference between simplicity and complexity for illiterate illiterate?" Wang Dafu was in a very bad mood. On the whole day, there were not many people who came to apply for the job, let alone answering his tricky and weird questions, which made him feel a very serious feeling that a hero is useless!
"Zhuo~~Zhuo~~Brother of the city lord, there is someone here whose test paper is very consistent with what you said in your work attitude!" In depressed, the little fox Xiaomo suddenly raised his head and suddenly smiled and handed over a test paper.
"Work attitude? What kind of work attitude am I talking about?" Wang Dafu suddenly heard Xiao Mo's words, and he didn't react for a moment.
"Well? Brother Lord, you are not saying that you should do something complicated, you should do something simple, you should do something serious, you should do something serious, and you should do something repetitive, and you should do something repetitive?" Xiao Mo said with a naive face, blinking his eyes.
"Oh~~Yes, I said that..." Wang Dafu's forehead was immediately covered with black lines, and he gently wiped his sweat. He never expected that Xiao Mo would remember these seemingly mysterious sentences he said nonsense so clearly.
"Hehe~~ Brother City Lord, then this test paper is very consistent with your work attitude~~" Xiao Mo clapped his hands and laughed: "Okay, okay, this brother will definitely appreciate it."
"Is that right... why can't I see that there is anything in this person's answer that suits my work attitude? Well... Are there words on this paper?" Wang Dafu looked at the almost blank test paper in his hand with confusion, but never saw what was in this paper that suited his "work attitude"!
"Yes! Yes!" Xiao Mo saw that Wang Dafu didn't believe him, so he jumped up in anger. He pointed to the paper and said to Wang Dafu: "Brother City Lord, the questions you asked are so complicated! But this person answered very simply. Isn't this 'complex things to do simply'?"
"Puff~~" Wang Dafu spitted out a saliva. As Xiao Mo's little fingers slashed, Wang Dafu finally saw the man's "simple" answer clearly, and a line of three small words written smaller than flies - I don't know!
"This is really 'complex things need to be done simply'!" After reading this answer, Wang Dafu almost fainted. After a long time, he murmured with a black line on his head: "Where does 'complex things need to be done seriously'?"
Xiao Mo raised his hand confidently and said proudly: "Hehe, these three words are so small, and they are not as big as a fly. Are you not serious about this attitude?"
"I'm down~~" Wang Dafu fell to the ground when he heard this. After all, these three words were not only very small, but also extremely serious in every stroke. It is indeed rare to have a brush to write such a small and serious handwriting!
"Where...whether 'serious things need to be done repeatedly', is it?" Wang Dafu couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Yes, yes, he wrote these three small words at the end of each question! It's really serious~~" Xiao Mo nodded repeatedly, admiring Wang Dafu's reaction.
"Damn~~This bastard is so leisurely and elegant~~" Wang Dafu was so angry that he couldn't speak: "Then...whether is his creativity?"
A little star suddenly appeared in Xiaomo's eyes: "Haha, after every answer, this person drew a very cute little doll. There were more than a hundred questions, but none of them repeated... It was so creative~~"
"Okay~~Okay~~It's really creative~~" After hearing this, I looked at the small little doll on the paper, which looked like wheat grains. Suddenly my face curled up and I let out a deep laugh...
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The job fair went on for two days, and then... it was a gorgeous flop!
During these two days, among the people who came to attend the job fair, there was not a single senior navigator with technical and experienced that Wang Dafu really wanted to recruit!
More than 95% of the people who came were "true" illiterate who could not read a single word at all, and the rest of those who could read and write were suspected to be either idiots or perverts, because the answers they wrote were mostly similar to those of the guy on the first day.
However, Wang Dafu was very calm about this situation, without any surprise or surprise! - As early as the first day after Xiao Mo discovered that "genius", Wang Dafu had already vaguely realized that someone seemed to be able to make trouble with him.
He can write neatly crafted handwriting with a brush but not as big as a fly in combination, and can also draw vivid doll patterns that are not as big as wheat grains... Wang Dafu would not think that such a person would be a fool or an idiot!
——Since he is not a fool, he must be here to have fun...
With this understanding, Wang Dafu immediately realized that maybe he had offended a guy who should at least look very amazing without realizing it.
After thinking about this, Wang Dafu did not immediately get angry, but quietly sent a message to Gao Sister who was staying in Green Willow City, asking her to contact Shi Qian immediately and investigate what was going on.
In one day and a half, Shi Qian's investigation report was delivered to Wang Dafu, and he finally realized why, in the vast Quanzhou Prefecture, he offered such preferential conditions, could not find a few senior sailors he wanted.
It turned out that he did not offend a guy who should at least look very amazing, but... offended a bunch of guys who should at least look very amazing!
In fact, it is not someone else who is right with Wang Dafu, but it is the five major consortiums that have almost controlled all the economic lifelines of Quanzhou Prefecture!
These five major consortiums are all player organizations. They incited former merchant elders Shen Wansan, Wu Bingjian and Wang Zhi, Zheng Zhilong to clash. Taking advantage of the opportunity of a gap in maritime trade, they fully grasped almost all economic fields such as Quanzhou Prefecture, including ship manufacturing, trade, logistics, and people's livelihood, and had an almost absolute influence on Quanzhou Prefecture.
This time, the recruitment of Green Willow City in Quanzhou Prefecture was caused by them for a direct provocation, especially when they learned that Green Willow City recruited people for ocean trade, they regarded it as a direct enemy!
——If Wang Dafu and his friends were planning to conduct ocean trade in Quanzhou Prefecture, these five major consortiums would certainly not have such a fierce reaction, but Wang Dafu planned to recruit people back to Green Liu City, which made the five major consortiums intolerable!
Quanzhou Prefecture is a system city, not the territory of the five major consortiums. Due to the system regulations, although the five major consortiums have basically completely controlled Quanzhou Prefecture, they cannot directly interfere with its policies or directly invest in its facilities. This is why the dock, known as the "most prosperous harbor city in the East Continent", is not as direct as Green Willow City, which has no maritime trade at all! - In fact, due to excessive use and unmaintained maintenance, many public utilities in Quanzhou Prefecture have been seriously damaged and are basically in a state of pause or even regression. The commercial environment of the city has actually begun to gradually deteriorate.
The five major consortiums are not fools. Of course they know this natural disadvantage, but they also have deep conflicts with each other. They usually don’t want each other to benefit, so they are unable to invest, maintain and build new public utilities in Quanzhou Prefecture.
This was not a big deal before. After all, Quanzhou Prefecture has a reputation and excellent geographical conditions, so there are no competitors.
However, the strong appearance of Green Willow City this time has made these five major consortiums feel a serious sense of crisis! - Green Willow City's "No. 1 Player City" is definitely not smaller than that of Quanzhou Prefecture. Their newly built super-large port has been hyped up by all the "brickers" on the forum. Although its geographical location is worse than that of Quanzhou Prefecture, this gap is nothing compared with flexible economic policies and complete services!
Now that Green Liu City is recruiting sailing talents in such a high-profile manner, it is clearly planning to enter the field of maritime trade in large quantities. Once Green Liu City's maritime trade becomes a climate, the first one to be affected is undoubtedly Quanzhou Prefecture! In this case, how can the five major consortiums not let go of contradictions, hatred and unite against the enemy and unite against the outside world?
"So that's what... the mistake is really a mistake~~ Once and again, the last time the Hundred Ghosts' Night Tour was a coincidence, but this time, did I look very haggard recently??" After reading the information, Wang Dafu shook his head thoughtfully, and felt a little regretful.
——This time, I was really careless...
As the saying goes, "A strong dragon will not suppress local snakes." Wang Dafu is so generous in recruiting and writing everything so clearly, which is indeed a bit careless.
The main reason was that he did not expect that a system city like Quanzhou Prefecture would be completely controlled by players... The speed of player power development was completely beyond Wang Dafu's expectations.
The chess game was a bit of restraint. If Wang Dafu had acted quietly at the beginning, I believe he had already achieved his wish. After all, he only needed to recruit one, two senior navigators would be enough. Unfortunately, he wanted to show off in front of the beautiful Zhen Da, and formed such a big formation. Now he was completely exposed to the light, and every move was monitored by the five major consortiums. If he wanted to do anything, it would be really difficult!
If Wang Dafu wants to recruit some ordinary sailors, the five major consortiums may still be difficult to fully control, but it is no exaggeration to say that the senior navigators in Quanzhou Prefecture have basically been completely controlled by the five major consortiums. It is really difficult for Wang Dafu to pull his teeth out of the tiger's mouth!
After thinking about it, Wang Dafu still hasn't found a solution to the problem. It's impossible for him to really run to the dock to ask one by one, right? Senior navigators are not ordinary sailors. This is a very professional profession. Being able to sing the "Sailing Sutra" does not mean that you can really sail, and being able to read the compass does not mean that you will not get lost on the sea. In fact, in the era of great navigation, an excellent navigator takes at least five to eight years of systematic learning to be considered a real master.
Don’t look at Quanzhou Prefecture so prosperous. There will definitely be no more than 500 people who can be called senior navigators here (referring only to local people).
"Forget it... Since you have missed the first move, then go to another port to start a new job!" After pondering for a long time, Wang Dafu finally decided to give up: "The only harbor city in the East Continent is Quanzhou Prefecture. Even if there is no prosperity elsewhere, I think there is no purely a high-level voyeur, right?"
Wang Dafu is not a humble gentleman who just smiles after suffering a loss, but now the time and place are not suitable. Isn’t it a waste of water to fight with others on the ground? What’s more, Wang Dafu can’t afford to spend money, and leaving his territory for a long time is definitely not a wise choice. There are still many places to go after this “visiting the wise”!
"Grandma, I've recorded this account... let's take a look!" After cursing fiercely, Wang Dafu gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, got up and walked outside, intending to instruct his subordinates to anchor and leave the port.
At this moment, a deafening cheer suddenly rang out on the dock, and then Wang Dafu stood at the door of the ship warehouse as if he was stupid!
