The story theme of wealth

Just graduated from Carnegie University, just like college graduates now, they are looking for jobs all over the world. One day, Carnegie saw a company recruiting a salesman, whose main job was to help the company go out to purchase. There were many people who signed up that day. After screening, three people were left, including Carnegie.

Because these three people performed equally, the recruiter tried to ask another question. The topic is very simple, that is, "suppose the company sends you to a factory to purchase 2000 pencils, and then goes back and forth, plus the purchase, how much do you need?" So these three people handed in three different answers.

The first person said that he needed to spend 120 USD, of which 100 USD was used for 2000 pencils and 20 USD was used for other miscellaneous expenses, including eating, drinking and accommodation. The examiner said, sit down first! I don't know if I can. The second man said, I need to spend 1 10 dollars. The third person is Carnegie. He said he needed to spend 1 13.86 dollars. Seeing this test paper, the examiner was puzzled. How can he work out such a price?

Carnegie said that pencils cost 5 cents each, and 2000 pencils cost 100 dollars. The three of us agree to this price. The round-trip bus fare from our company to this factory is $4.8, lunch at noon is $2, and it is half a mile from the factory to the bus station, so it needs porters to carry it, which costs $65,438+$0.50 ... so the total cost is $ 1 13.86.

After listening to Carnegie's introduction, the examiner unanimously decided that he was the person our company was looking for. Carnegie was hired because of this detailed account. This is a story about Carnegie looking for a job.

In 2004, Microsoft, the most famous software company in America, had a vice president named Kai-Fu Lee. One morning, he went to work with a leather bag on his back. As soon as he entered the office, a colleague whispered to him, "Now Gates is very angry and the problem is very serious." Kai-fu lee was surprised after hearing this, and he couldn't help thinking. Just then, the office broadcast sounded the voice of "meeting", so all the employees of the company walked to the auditorium.

Gates said sternly at the meeting: "There is a vice president who wants to jump to our rival Google. We are waiting for this vice president to jump to Google and then sue him. "

After listening to this, Kai-fu Lee seemed to be caught in a heavy rain, because the vice president mentioned just now was Kai-fu Lee.

The meeting is over, but the discussion is not over yet. Back in the office, Kai-Fu Lee heard various comments from colleagues, "This Google is developing too fast!" "/kloc-Who among 0/00 vice presidents wants to jump ship?" Li Kaifu heard that he couldn't do business here, so he was looking forward to getting off work early.

When he got home, he opened the door and was overjoyed to see his 9-year-old daughter meet him at the door. At the same time, he let out a cry. His daughter is holding a big box with the word "Google" printed on it. She couldn't help asking, "Why are you holding this box?" The daughter said inexplicably, "Dad, aren't you going to work at Google?" "How did you know I would work at Google?" "I saw a big box sent by Google a week ago, which was full of some of my favorite toys. Of course I want to play with it. "

Kai-fu Lee just calmed down from the chaos. Just now, at the company meeting, Gates said he would sue him, but are you going to jump ship? He must calm down and think it over. Thinking about it, he flew into the sky. Once he flew and chatted with the boss of a big company. The boss said, "If you can't make up your mind to do anything, don't ask the old people, ask the children, because in ten years, those teenagers will be in this world, and what they like is what you need." Kai-fu Lee suddenly realized.

So he asked his daughter, "Do you like Microsoft or Google?" My daughter said, "Of course I like Google. You forgot that I found your birthday present on Google last year and bought it for you. " "Google has many functions, and Microsoft also has many functions? Like Microsoft, Word processing software, Word, and many interesting things? " The daughter interrupted him impatiently: "I don't like Microsoft, but I like Google."

After listening to her daughter's words, Li Kaifu's mood suddenly brightened a lot, thinking: I have made up my mind. So Kai-fu Lee accepted Google's invitation and switched from Microsoft to Google. The job-hopping fee was as high as100000 US dollars, setting a record high.

PS: Although these two are short, they have to be inconsistent in novelty. The truth is absolutely true.
