Chapter 1294 A Different Paper
No one accepted Teacher Deng’s suggestion.
Sun Shan said helplessly, "Teacher, this is the way education is in Yuanlu County. You know it better than us. Alas, there is nothing we can do. We can only choose the tallest one among the short ones."
Teacher Deng fully understood what Sun Shan said, and he had only complained a few times just now.
The guano fertilizer workshop is related to the livelihood of Yuanlu, so how can we hire outsiders?
Alas, the educational level in Yuanlu County is just like this, and Instructor Deng has always been very troubled. The only lucky thing is that he does not have to be at the bottom and does not have to be criticized by the prefect.
County Magistrate Wang took a look at the paper and looked confused.
The test paper was made by Sun Shan, and its content was completely different from the traditional one, which completely overturned County Magistrate Wang's cognition.
When I put myself in the applicant's shoes, I found that I couldn't answer a single question.
County Magistrate Wang had no idea what the tests were about.
For example, one question goes like this: You have just been hired as the manager of a guano workshop, and you find that all the workers in the workshop are relatives of the county magistrate.
One of them was the magistrate's brother-in-law. He was in charge of the workshop's accounts and was very influential. All the workers listened to him.
As you get to know him better, you discover that this brother-in-law is a stumbling block to the growth of the guano workshop. If you want to develop the workshop well, you must dismiss the brother-in-law of the county magistrate.
One day, your brother-in-law tells you that the accounting seal is missing from a drawer. As the workshop manager, how will you handle the loss of the accounting seal and the problem of your brother-in-law?
When County Magistrate Wang saw this title, he understood every word, but had no idea what it meant when put together.
County Magistrate Wang asked, "Sir Sun, what is this question about?"
Emma, why is there such a question? He won't be able to do it at all.
The workshop was organized by the county magistrate, so it is only natural to send his brother-in-law to be the accountant. Otherwise, what will happen if an outsider makes mistakes in the accounting and the workshop suffers losses?
As a manager, if you encounter such a situation, you will definitely try to please your brother-in-law, and you would never dare to think of firing your "brother-in-law".
Whether the workshop could grow bigger and stronger was a question. But if I offended my brother-in-law, not only would I not be able to fire him, I would end up leaving in disgrace.
What kind of questions are these that Mr. Sun has asked? Why are they so difficult?
Sun Shan spread his hands and said bluntly, "County Magistrate Wang, these kinds of problems are common in our daily lives. They definitely need to test your ability to handle them."
Wu Zhubo and Liang Xunjian had noticed the difference in the paper long ago.
This question is exactly what County Magistrate Wang was thinking. No matter who you offend, you must not offend your brother-in-law.
Whether the workshop can develop is a matter for the future. If I offend my brother-in-law now, I will be fired in minutes.
Haha, the royal family is the most difficult to deal with. The first thing to do is to please them, and then do other things.
But Sun Shan is right. These problems are indeed encountered in daily life, and this is when the manager's ability to respond is tested.
This question is indeed well-posed, but the answer, alas, can only be determined by circumstances.
County Magistrate Wang then asked, "Sir Sun, if you were the applicant today, how would you answer?"
Sun Shan gave his own answer: "First, the workshop is a guano workshop, and the county magistrate in it refers to me. To do this well, you must have some understanding of my personality. A person who comes here to apply for a manager position must know both himself and his opponent.
The first step is to test whether the applicant is serious about the job. With a little inquiry, they will know how the guano workshop was built, that it is run by the official, and even more so, their personality. If they don't bother to find out, it proves that they are not up to the task.
Everyone was stunned by what Sun Shan said. After thinking about it, they felt that what Sun Shan said made sense.
If you apply for a job at a workshop, you should at least understand the situation of the workshop. If you come here rashly and don't know anything, how can you stand out among the interviewees?
It is not about how well the person answers the questions, but about the applicant's attitude.
Teacher Deng looked at Sun Shan with admiration and said, "I admire you. You are so thoughtful and have come up with such a good question."
Sun Shan continued, "Back to this question. The second step is to test the manager's ability to grasp the key points. This question requires the manager to solve two problems: the first is the loss of the brother-in-law's accounting seal, and the second is to deal with the brother-in-law.
The accountant's seal was lost, not the workshop's seal, so it was not a big deal and did not hinder the manager from handling other matters.
If the manager is bold enough, he can take back the brother-in-law's rights at this time. Since the accounting seal is lost, we can directly use the workshop seal. From now on, all incoming and outgoing accounts must use the workshop seal, making the brother-in-law dispensable.
After all, it was the brother-in-law who lost the seal, so the responsibility lay with him, and the manager couldn't be blamed. So he had an excuse to take all the accounting matters into his own hands, in disguise controlling the workshop's accounting and increasing his power.
When the workers had financial matters, they had to ask the manager for help, and gradually, the workers had to obey the manager.
County Magistrate Wang and the other three looked at Sun Shan in amazement.
This, this is okay?
After thinking about it, I found that it really works.
The accountant's seal was lost, and his brother-in-law was a stumbling block, so he took the opportunity to kick him out and take power himself. If he didn't take advantage of such a good opportunity, when would he?
Even if the magistrate knew about it, he would have nothing to say. It was his brother-in-law's fault for being so confused. It was a blessing that he didn't beat him up.
The eyes of County Magistrate Wang and the other three lit up, and they couldn't help but turn sideways, trying to get away from Sun Shan.
This Lord Sun is indeed a treacherous person. He takes advantage of anything he sees, and he is truly a greedy person.
If I work with him, I wonder if I will be tricked?
At this moment, the person who was most afraid was County Magistrate Wang, because he was sitting closest to Sun Shan.
Teacher Deng asked excitedly, "Sir, how should we deal with this brother-in-law? He's the magistrate's brother-in-law. Do we really want to kick him out of the workshop?"
My brother-in-law is acting arrogantly in the workshop and hindering its growth and development. Our presence will lead to big mistakes.
But they are royal relatives and are not easy to deal with.
Maybe the magistrate favored his brother-in-law and fired the manager instead.
Sun Shan smiled and said, "If I were in charge, I wouldn't do anything drastic unless my brother-in-law was endangering my own interests and had to be removed.
The first step is to try to get along well with the brother-in-law. The second step is that if getting along is really impossible, it all depends on the magistrate's temperament.
If they found that the magistrate was appointing people based on personal connections, they would do nothing and leave the workshop. Such a workshop would not allow them to show their abilities at all, so they would simply look for another wise boss.
If the magistrate is fair and strict, he can directly point it out and tell him to arrange for my brother-in-law to do some easy work that will not interfere with the workshop. "
Finally, Sun Shan said, "Let's go back to what I said at the beginning. Before applying, ask about the workshop's affairs. The applicant will probably know my style of work and will be able to answer the question of how to deal with the 'brother-in-law'."
