"I think you have to change the way you look for jobs," Scrooge told John D. Rockefeller. Rockefeller said.

"And how should I change it?" John Rockefeller said. John Rockefeller said, "Scrooge, you have a flexible mind, do you have any ideas?"

"Let me think," Scrooge said, and after a moment, he asked, "Well, John, do you have a business card?"

Business cards had been around for a long time in those days, even for John D. Rockefeller's father, Bill. John Rockefeller's father, Bill Rockefeller, had a lot of business cards. The company has a lot of business cards printed with various titles that Bill made up, such as "Doctor", "Pharmacist", "Vice President of the American Cancer Society", "New Medicine Expert", and so on.

"Hey, I never thought of this! My dad is the best at this stuff. But, Scrooge, I don't know how much it costs to print business cards yet, and, what do you think I should put on them? Um, business school graduate, bookkeeper, knows business law - how about that?"

"That's too common, isn't it?" Scrooge thought back to his previous job hunting days when he had printed a thick book of testimonials, filled with his accomplishments, including those he had achieved in graduate school with his boss (the graduate students' term for their mentor), and a list of his articles in various publications. (Although none of them were published in journals such as Nature or Science, the number of them is still very impressive.) He also includes the various awards he received when he was an undergraduate, and even when he was a second-degree kan in elementary school. In addition, he also gave himself a personal webpage or something, that advertising efforts, compared to what Rockefeller envisioned really ......

"I do not want to make false propaganda." Rockefeller misunderstood Scrooge's point, he felt that his father, Bill, completely by deception is not a big business, "your father is a very smart man, if he is a little more honest, he will be much stronger than now." This is John Rockefeller's mother, Alai. This is what John Rockefeller's mother, Aliza, said about his father. John felt that his mother's comment made sense and that Bill would have made more money if he had a reputation for integrity. He would have made more money if he had a reputation for integrity. He would have created for a small amount of money, then quickly made a reputation for himself in one place, and then moved on to another place to repeat the story, and although it appeared that he made money easily in any place, he could not take root or sustain himself in any place. John D. Rockefeller Rockefeller didn't want to be like Bill, his ambitions were much bigger. "I know that reputation is not worthless he is worth a lot of money. I don't want to be like him and ruin his reputation for such a small amount of money, and even if I were to ...... it would be for a much larger sum."

"No, John, I'm not asking you to do false advertising, for such a little thing to lie is more than worth the loss. But haven't you ever heard that 'it's not the lie, but the truth that can deceive people'? As long as you will use the most appropriate way to say that part of the truth. Some things, different ways of describing, and the results are completely different. For example, if you are a bookkeeper, can you not say that you have many years of bookkeeping experience and are proficient in various bookkeeping techniques? Is this not true? There are various bookkeeping skills that you don't know?"

"But 'many years of bookkeeping experience' is not correct." John Rockefeller said. Rockefeller said.

"I heard from Auntie Aliza that you've been keeping accounts for your family's expenses since you were seven years old. So there's nothing wrong with what I'm saying, is there?" Scrooge laughed, and John Rockefeller followed suit. Rockefeller also laughed.

......

"Scrooge, these are the new shoe styles you came up with?" Joseph Sr. asked Scrooge, pointing to a few drawings.

"Yes, Dad, what do you think?" Scrooge asked.

According to some people's thinking, these latter-day fashions would have dazzled the eyes of the eighteenth-century rustics when they were brought to that era. However, a bumpkin is a bumpkin. Old Joseph just shook his head at these drawings and said, "Scrooge, it seems that you are not suitable to be a shoemaker. How do you design such a bad thing? Look, the shoes you designed like this, at most a month to wear will be changed, six months will be finished - how can this work? This will be the end of our reputation!"

Scrooge knew that Joseph's assessment that these shoes would be finished in six months was correct, because, in this era, the intensity of shoe use was far greater than in later generations. Because this era is still a time when transportation is basically by walking, such as John Rockefeller, who was seeking employment. Rockefeller, no matter where the company is going to seek employment, no matter how far it is, is on foot to walk over. And the road conditions in this era were also much worse than in later generations, and the wear and tear on shoes were also greater. Therefore, it is normal that the kind of shoes of the later generation, which look good and are comfortable as the first pursuit, are inferior in the eyes of the people of this era.

"Hey, I only think about the lightness and good looks," Scrooge said.

"Maybe the rich kids would like something like this, but they don't come to our store to buy shoes, and our customers are all manual laborers." Carol wanted to put in a good word for Scrooge, but when it came down to it, well, he didn't think much of Scrooge's design either.

"Hey, it seems that the golden finger is not so easy to open, or honestly hold the golden thighs it." Scrooge thought, "I wonder how John's job search is going."

......

John? Rockefeller was on his way to his first goal of the day, and up until now he still hadn't found his ideal job, but he was quite satisfied with his recent situation. In the past, he could run more than ten companies a day, but yesterday he only ran six companies. This is because the people in charge of two companies have talked to him, which took a lot of time. Although in the end, both of them said they still needed to think about it and didn't make a final decision, and John felt that the final result of their consideration was probably not the one she was expecting, it was at least much better than the previous days, right?

The first company John was looking for today was a business called Hewitt Tuttle & Company. When he walked into the company and asked an ordinary-looking employee who was walking out the door if he would like to meet the owner of the company, the "employee" who looked like he was about to go do something stopped in his tracks.

"Oh, what do you want, young man? I am the owner of this company, Tuttle." The man stopped and replied politely.

This encounter was completely unexpected. Rockefeller's expectation, so, instead, he was a little frozen, and after a while, he remembered his own words of self-recommendation.

"Sir, I hope to work in your company, I can keep accounts, trained by Folsom Business School, I also know a little economic law, and I can work hard, very seriously. I hope you will give me a chance."

"What did you learn at Folsom?" Tuttle asked.

"Sir, I took courses in double-entry bookkeeping, legible writing, business law in banking and foreign exchange, but mostly bookkeeping." John Rockefeller said. John Rockefeller hurriedly replied, and then added, "I graduated with pretty good grades."

"I could use a bookkeeper here," Tuttle said, "but I'm in a hurry and have to go out right away, so can you come back this afternoon?"

"Yes, no problem." John Rockefeller replied cheerfully. John Rockefeller replied cheerfully.

The other companies on today's program were far away, and if he went there, he would have to return late in the afternoon, so it was not a good idea to keep his future boss waiting. And since Mr. Tuttle seemed to need such a bookkeeper, there was a good chance that he would hire John, so John decided that he would not try his luck at the other companies today and would just wait around.

John Rockefeller was at this company. Rockefeller waited on the street near the company and waited from 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. He saw a public carriage pull up near the company, and a man got off the carriage and walked into the company. "The boss is back?" John? Rockefeller while thinking so, while rushing into this company, asked a real employee: "May I ask Mr. Tuttle is back?"

"Not yet. But Mr. Hewitt is here." The employee replied.

Hewitt was another partner in the company. John Rockefeller had a good meeting. Rockefeller met the gentleman without incident.

"Ah, Tuttle told me he had someone coming in this afternoon for a job, so let me see if I can do it. You're here early." Hewitt said, "You said for you that you could keep accounts?"

"Yes, sir, I've been keeping track of everything in my family since I was five years old." John Rockefeller said. Rockefeller said, "From May to August of this year, I received three months of training in bookkeeping at the Folsom School of Commerce."

"Did Mr. Tuttle tell you that our company's business is complex, including grain and ore, as well as the telegraph and railroad?" Hewitt looked at John and asked.

"Mr. Tuttle didn't have time to talk to me about it, but I learned before I arrived that your company's business is very extensive." John Rockefeller said. Rockefeller was very calm.

"So did Tuttle tell you that perhaps you'd have to take on some other duties besides bookkeeping, such as collections and the like? Would you be willing to do that?"

"I can do it, sir, you can count on me." John Rockefeller said. Rockefeller said.

"Well, you can come to work with us tomorrow for a trial period of three months, no pay during the trial period. Can you accept that?"

The probationary period without any wages was illegal in later times, but it was the norm in an era that had not experienced the proletarian revolution and therefore did not have any labor protection laws. So John had no objection to this, and he hastened to say to Hewitt.

"Yes, I can, thank you, boss! You're a good, kind man, and God bless you." Then he handed him a good man card.
