54: Mom, hold my hand(1/2)
There is a village called Mauma Sri in Londonderry, Northern Ireland, England.
In this small village with inconvenient transportation, many young people left the small village for the sake of the "flower world" they called it. Until the birth of Isa Prague, this small village was just enough for a hundred people.
Isa may be the only baby born in this small village in recent decades. If Isa is the "only child in Maomao Sri village", there is nothing wrong with this sentence.
Isha has grown up, the village chief, neighbor, grandpa, grandma, father and mother are all older, and Isha, who is regarded as the "hope of the whole village", is also very successful!
When Isa received the admission letter from Cambridge University based on her excellent academic performance, everyone in the entire village took out all the New Year's goods prepared for Christmas in advance.
That night, everyone laughed happily, but Isa was the only one who hid in the bullpen and cried because Isa knew that she had not received the full scholarship from Cambridge University.
My own scholarship is enough to drag down the small village’s already poor environment. As a “traditional British village”, Maomao Sri has no more income sources than relying on cows and goats to make money, such a village with extremely severe aging ageing!
“Isa~”
"Don't worry!"
"If Dad works hard all his life and can't support you, I will be a failure!"
Isa turned around and saw her father's wrinkled face and hunched back, and threw herself into her father's arms. Isa's mother also stroked Isa's hair with a caress when she saw her daughter's appearance.
The whole village was surrounded by this crowded cowshed at any time. The village chief raised his hand tremblingly and shouted to the whole village: "Isha, we must go out, let's go to college together!"
This is how a person is in his life, and it will always make you experience one bad luck and luck after another!
Isa's arrival is the luck of this small village and the misfortune of this small village!
Isa left Maomao Sri with the full scholarship from the University of Manchester and local specialties from her hometown.
The drizzle that day, the whole village came to see her off in the rain. Isa did not cry because Isa knew that "he is Maomao Sri's hope, she must come on!"
Isa, who graduated from the University of Manchester in 1996, was very successful. Not only did Isa not ask for any money from her family during her college years, she also relied on her own abilities to become an "outstanding student of the University of Manchester" many times, but also received Manchester City Honor Award many times!
Isa bought "Ten Calfs" for Maomao Sri with this money. Isa felt that these ten Calfs would definitely bring changes to her hometown, because the type of Calf is called "Netfly", although the name is a bit strange~
However, this name is "Netflix Livestock Farming Company" guarantees that the milk produced by these milk will definitely be recycled. If the milk powder produced by Maomao Sri is of better quality, Maomao Sri is likely to be selected as the "British milk source"!
Isa was very happy on December 1, 1996 because Isa finally received a job opportunity she had dreamed of when she graduated.
Although he is a "management trainee" and needs to work all basic tasks such as cashiers, sorters, guides, etc., Isa is still very happy because this job can not only provide accommodation, but also have a subsidy of nearly £30 a day after losing the basic salary!
Moreover, this company is one of the leading retail industry in the United States. Isa is very satisfied with the employment prospects and job opportunities. Moreover, when she first had many graduates from prestigious universities from all over the world competed with her!
In a huge office, there were four tables, and there was a person sitting behind each table. Isa looked at Mika Boden opposite with a cramped look on his face. Isa had no reason not to know the CEO of Macy's Department Store.
Moreover, Isa did not expect that a basic position of a "management trainee" would allow CEA, a company whose market value is about to exceed 100 billion, to interview in person.
Mika Boden looked at the simple Isa dressed on the opposite side with a kind face. When he saw some cramped Isa, Mika Boden first asked his secretary to pour her a cup of coffee. After Isa's mood stabilized, he spoke first: "Don't be nervous, I am also an ordinary person, and our boss told us not to let official-oriented thoughts interfere with our management ideas, so I appeared here."
Isa quickly relaxed after hearing Mika Boden's words. Mika Boden snapped his fingers and said, "Can you talk about your views on children?"
When Mika Boden saw Isa's snapping her fingers, she was still a little nervous and began to explain: "Our business in Europe has just started less than a year, and Macy's is also working hard on the road to transformation, so children are our core. We need to know what every employee thinks about the children. Just talk about your thoughts. It doesn't matter. Just treat it as reporting your current learning situation to your elders!"
Isa kept rubbing the corners of her clothes with her hands and replied stutteringly: "I think the child is a family's expectation for the future life. Macy's benchmark target in recent years is Disney. Although Disney seemed out of reach at the beginning, Macy's department store took a different approach and became popular through the cartoon Pokemon, specializing in indoor playgrounds."
Isa looked at the interview seat nervously. Although the people around her were dissatisfied with her answers, Mika Boden, the ceo, signaled herself to continue with encouragement.
"Well, yes, Macy's is doing a good job in the core service of the indoor playground, but I think the high-cost interior decoration is a flaw of Macy's. Children will always be tired. Although Lilith's studio animation production is also very productive, I think Macy's should try to combine education and entertainment, and should not use entertainment to fill children's spare time!"
"Since Lilith's comics studio is so productive, why not make an animation that can mix education and entertainment?"
"Education is what all parents pay attention to. You can also learn knowledge while playing. Such a business body will always get the parents' wallet!"
Isa left, and she received no comments, including Mika Boden.
After seeing Isa leave, Mika Boden saw that the secretary next to him drew a "cross" on Isa's interview form without his consent: "Why? Do you think Macy's has grown up now and there is no need to accept external criticism? Do you want to sit on the boss's credit book and eat for the rest of your life?"
Mika Boden saw that several Macy's executives were standing up and trembling, and they didn't dare to say a word.
Mika Boden let out a deep breath and said: "It seems that the boss is right. Appropriate senior management blood exchange will be conducive to the company's progress!"
After Mika Boden said this, he left here with anger with Isa's interview form!
Mika Boden has made rapid progress in recent years, but his ability is not good. If it weren't for the rapid progress of Macy's Department Store pushing Mika Boden forward together, Mika Boden might have been due to the fact that he had not been the fast-progressing Macy's department store, Mika Boden might have been on the way.
Plus, the most important point is that Herman trusts him enough, so Mika Boden works very hard, not only doing everything himself every day, but what convinces everyone the most is that he can listen to his opinions!
-------------------------
Herman has been to Macy's in the UK for several days, but this time Herman is not as leisurely as before. Herman's face can be seen that Herman is very nervous. If it weren't for Herman's eldest daughter Shanshan, who also came to the UK with Herman this time, Herman believed that she was nervous enough this time to explode!
"The $75 billion 6x leverage agreement and Citibank guarantee are all in place!"
"The working capital of the four companies is all Hermann, Hemann, you are alone. For the sake of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, I think it is necessary for these British men to get a good understanding of our strength!" Sigmund Rockefeller sat opposite Hermann in a very simple floral shirt and jeans and kept talking, but his constant shaking legs still made Hermann know that he was very nervous.
"Sigmund, Herman is not wrong. In recent years, we have obtained enough gold and oil through his luck. We must believe in his luck!" Ora Nappman sat next to Herman indifferently, holding a pen in his hand and constantly spinning, and even the water in the pen had been thrown out.
His brother Buryus Knapp sat not far away and looked at the pedestrians coming and going not far from Macy's in Manchester, and suddenly said in a daze: "What if such a prosperous place explodes?"
Herman wore a black hat and kept rubbing a pair of walnuts in his hand and said with a strong impulse: "I bought a 140 million pound industrial insurance insurance from Prudential, the largest insurance group in the UK. If it exploded, I might make them lose a lot of money because of this!"
The chats between several men are very pure, but in Herman's opinion, it may be more about alleviating everyone's psychological pressure, because the 75 billion US dollars of liquidity is a considerable amount of pressure for everyone here, let alone Sigmund Rockefeller. After all, he is just one of the dozens of heirs of Rockefeller's family.
If Herman's dream is really wrong, then this time the "Shuha" may really be in a state of disgrace.
Herman met Mika Boden with a tired look on his face. Although Herman was very tired, Mika Boden on the opposite side looked very energetic, which made Herman unable to resist rejecting this good employee!
"I think Macy's has come to a time when reform is needed!"
"I don't like those vampires lying on the credit book. I hope my existence can continue to pass on the century-old company of Macy's, so I personally selected 28 newly graduated college students from the interview list between the UK and the US."
"These college students will become participants and witnesses of my "Blood-Activating Program"!"
Herman looked at the opposite Mika Boden with an interesting look, and was surprised at 8 o'clock. However, as a superior, Herman did not say much, but looked through Mika Boden's plan expressionlessly. When he saw the concept of "education-based", Heman felt that this could be tried!
"Go! You are ceo, I'll hand over the company to you, I believe you!" Herman rubbed his cheeks with a tired look on his face. When Mika Boden left the office with a fighting spirit, a gust of wind suddenly took Mika Boden away a piece of paper of information!
"oops!"
Herman bent down and picked up the paper with a helpless look on his face.
That piece of paper is the resume of a girl named "Isa Prague"!
After returning to the hotel with a tired face, Heman saw his eldest daughter Shanshan sleeping on the bed alone with a very sensible look. Heman washed up casually and lay on the bed.
She hugged Shanshan in her arms, just like her mother, and lay in Herman's arms like an octopus. Herman closed her eyes and kissed Shanshan~
"Dad, remember to take me to the children's playground the day after tomorrow. I promised Nina and Tina, I will bring them a gift when I go back this time."
Herman dazed Shanshan's back and said perfunctorily: "Okay, okay, you can do it, go to bed early. If you have dark circles again, your mother will hit me!"
Shanshan blinked her black eyes, smiled and rubbed Herman's chest and fell asleep.
----------------------------------------
Isa, who left Macy's Department Store, continued to start her own journey of finding a job!
"It's another day of nothing, but Isha, don't give up!" Isha forced herself to look at the "makeup mirror" on the first floor of the Empire Chemical Group Building with a bitter face. When Isha found that her mouth did not smile and forced her mouth with her wet fingers, Isha left the Empire Chemical Building with her schoolbag!
It was already 2 a.m. when Isa returned to the subway of Manchester by suburbs. Although Isa was not very happy along the way, she still helped others!
"Uncle, your shoelaces are open!"
"Thank you, little girl!"
"The child of Maomao Sri doesn't need to be thankful!" Isa replied happily at the uncle who was rushing behind her, waving her hand happily.
"Wow, grandpa, you sleep at the entrance of the subway. There is a temporary accommodation arranged by the rescue fund collection site. Now it's cold and you're careful of a cold!" Isa took out the £4 left from her pocket and put it in the bowl of an old man sleeping on the street.
The old man kept kowtowing when he saw Isa leaving!
But Isa jumped away without looking back, and secretly cheered her up and said, "These are all things that Maomao Sri's children should do!"
After returning to the basement, Isha still insisted on washing up before falling asleep because this was Isha’s father’s request, because “people can no longer feel wronged when they are poor”!
Isa finally went to bed!
But the next day, Isa's landlord Linda knocked on the door quickly at Isa's door!
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
"Isa!"
"Isa! Get up quickly!"
Isa, wearing a pink pajamas, rubbed her eyes sleepily and asked, "What's wrong? Aunt Linda, am I helping Aunt Linda to sort out all the medicines?"
Aunt Linda in Isa's mouth is actually a gray-haired old lady. Because her child works, her husband dies and she can only live alone in the suburbs of Manchester.
"Isa! The invitation letter from Macy's is here. You have a job, and you finally get a job through your efforts!!!" Aunt Linda looked even more excited than Isa.
Standing there, Isa was also stiff and stood there for a long time before she reacted. She hugged Aunt Linda and shouted "Ahhhh" without caring about it.
Sitting at Aunt Linda's house, Isa looked at the very "job invitation letter" in her hand with a serious look.
"This company is indeed right to be people-oriented, and the words in it are very particular."
"Job hiring is called a job invitation"
"Organization is called cooperation"
"Isa, you have to seize this opportunity. I think you will make a difference in this company. Just as your father said, girls who love to laugh will not be bad at all!" Aunt Linda happily helped Isa iron her clothes with a soldering iron, because along with the "job invitation letter", there was also a work uniform that fits Isa's size!
"Thank you, Aunt Linda, I will work hard!!!" Isa raised her left hand to the air after saying that.
