In Tokyo, even the most fierce dragon is afraid of the hatchet

No matter how smart you are, you will still be constrained by the world and money.

But how do you know that money really means nothing to me!

None of us can make much money in the domestic stock market, but as long as I have this capital, I can poke a hole in the sky.

When I buy Sanhe and stand in front of you, I am really looking forward to the expression on your face...

......

And you are also looking forward to that day...

......

Chapter 250 The mastermind behind the scenes

It's cold at the end of the year.

Even though Japan has a temperate oceanic monsoon climate, winter snow falls in this season.

Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.

Goldman Sachs Japan Investment Company was approved to be established a week ago, but according to corporate investment regulations, it must have a Japanese partner, two managing directors and some Japanese employees.

In addition to business cooperation with major life insurance companies and urban banks, President Conn Brady personally participated in recruitment matters.

It is the job-hunting season for fresh graduates.

As a top American investment bank, Goldman Sachs has a great reputation internationally. When the recruitment news came out, many people sent in job application letters.

Hitotsubashi, University of Tokyo, Keio University, Waseda University, Kyoto University.

Among the many job application letters, there were applicants from various universities. After the first round of personnel screening, Conn Brady, in line with the idea of ​​"better to have nothing than to have someone of poor quality", sent a second interview invitation to the person he liked.

They were all elites from major universities. The second round of interviews went very smoothly and they received all the desired responses. Conn Brady then invited them to a new interview.

However, the other person's eyes were strange.

He didn't look happy at all when he received the invitation for the final interview. His eyes looked like he was looking at an idiot.

what's the situation?

Looking at the job applicant he was satisfied with leaving, Conn Brady didn't know what the other person's eyes were.

But what happened next was even stranger.

Young people who were clearly looking forward to working at Goldman Sachs looked very strange after receiving the interview invitation letter.

The original respect, excitement, and excitement suddenly changed, revealing an indescribable weirdness.

One!

two!

After receiving more than a dozen people.

In addition to confusion, Conn Brady also felt angry and frustrated at being discriminated against.

Although these job seekers didn't say anything, their eyes couldn't lie. That look was definitely full of discrimination and contempt.

As a Wall Street elite, he is arguably the top elite in the entire human race. Suddenly encountering such a strange look, Conn Brady was filled with anger but didn't know how to vent it.

After these job seekers changed their faces, they didn't say anything, but just said they would consider it, and were very polite, leaving people helpless.

Damn it!

What on earth happened?

Why are you looking at me with such a weird look when I come out to look for a job?!

With confusion.

Conn Brady finished interviewing the last job applicant and went to the restroom.

happen.

Several job seekers seemed to know each other and were gathered together talking about something.

"Pinggu-kun, do you want to come tomorrow?"

"Of course they won't come. Aren't these Americans too stingy? They don't even give us travel expenses. What future does this kind of company have?"

"Yeah! The strength of the top investment banks on Wall Street is too weak! I thought they would at least prepare $10,000 for travel expenses, but I didn't expect it to be so bad!"

"And it's a three-year employment contract. Doesn't that mean you can be fired at any time? Can't the top investment banks on Wall Street even afford a lifetime employment system?"

"My friend also said that he received an invitation from Qualcomm to work in Silicon Valley. Wall Street is so rubbish, what kind of treatment can a place like Silicon Valley give? I must persuade him!"

"It's rare to find a company that doesn't even provide travel expenses these days. I don't know how such a company survives. Don't Americans think such a crappy company is rubbish?"

"..."

With a sarcastic laugh.

Coming from the bathroom.

But Conn Brady couldn't understand what the other party was saying.

But there is no doubt that at this time, the other party's sarcastic tone must be related to the change in attitude of these job seekers before and after.

Damn it!

Is it possible for people working part-time in Japan to laugh at their boss?

It doesn’t make sense!

With such doubts.

The next day comes.

However, none of the guys who said they would consider it showed up.

As a top investment bank on Wall Street, it feels terrible that we can't even recruit people.

"Damn it. Are those bastards here to tease us on purpose?"

Everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment, no one knew how this could have happened.

Logically speaking, the Japanese are very polite, and those people shouldn't be rude in such an important matter as an interview.

With such doubts, assistant Charlie King said: "Is the interview process in Japan different from that in the United States? Or, are there some things we don't understand?"

"Interview session?"

Conn Brady frowned slightly. Different countries have different cultures and workplace cultures. Maybe this is really possible: "Go call George to ask about the situation. Damn it, this is a waste of our time!"

George, whose real name is Masao Igarashi, is a translator for a financial company that cooperates with Goldman Sachs and is also a nominal partner of Goldman Sachs.

I received a call and came to the president's office.

Conn Brady asked his own questions alone in frustration.

Masao Igarashi's expression became quite strange, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth seemed to be twitching.

"Maybe it's because we didn't pay for the travel expenses!" Igarashi Masao couldn't bear to embarrass his boss, so he said very tactfully.

Conn Brady looked stunned: "Walter?"

"Well...well...it's like this. In Japan, when a company wants to hire an employee, whether they accept the employee or not, they should give some travel expenses to show respect. The more they give, the more it reflects the company's strength. Even factories will give two thousand or so, so..."

"Travel expenses? What is this?"

"It's all about the travel expenses, the cost of the ride, and the time wasted for the interview!"

"Walter?"

Conn Brady was petrified on the spot, his eyes almost popped out of his head in fear.

In his heart, what he hated most were Japanese taxis.

Damn robber.

The starting price is 10,000 yen per kilometer, and if you run any distance, it may be 30,000 or 50,000 yen.

What’s even more abominable is that if you want to take a taxi at night, you may not be able to get one even if you spend 30,000 or 50,000 yuan, and those taxi drivers will look at you with disgust, as if your parents have died.

Nothing could be more fucked up than this.

Even on Wall Street, a hundred dollars is more than enough to take a ride to New York.

In Japan, a short distance costs hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

It can be said that in David Matthew Brady's heart, the most painful thing is trucks, and the thing he hates the most is taxis.

But this is not the key!

What's so hard about job hunting?

I don’t provide any value to the company and I’m not a company employee, so why should I pay me?

"Damn it. What kind of rule is this? We're not sure if they'll be admitted, so do we have to reimburse them for the taxi fare?"

"Sir, you misunderstood what I meant. This is not reimbursement!"

"what is that?"

"It's an unspoken rule. This not only reflects the company's respect for talent, but also demonstrates the company's strength, which will allow talent to choose to join the company."

"Damn it, why is there such a ridiculous rule? What if they take the money and don't come?"

"That only means that the travel expenses are not enough. If they are very important talents, you can arrange for them to travel to Hawaii and send some models to seduce them."

"..."

FUCK.

Conn Brady's face turned pale.

Is this recruiting a boss or recruiting an employee?

Going to Hawaii to find young models?

I haven’t been there for a long time!

But the legal ratio of Japanese employees could not be violated, so Conn Brady could only hold back his anger and ask, "How much travel expenses should we give them so that they will feel respected?"

"About 200,000 yen for a normal company."
