The interview at McCarthy Company went very smoothly. Josie successfully recruited five suitable people, three professional managers with relevant experience, one financial officer, and one administrative secretary.
All five are men.
This is normal. Before World War II, even in a relatively early-modernizing country like the United States, the proportion of women participating in social work was very low, and they were basically concentrated in jobs that were "suitable for women" such as teachers, office clerks, and services or retail.
It was not until after the United States officially entered the war that a large number of men joined the army and the society was seriously short of labor. With the encouragement of the Roosevelt administration, a large number of women entered various walks of life.
After the end of World War II and the return of the male workforce in large numbers, women lost job opportunities to a certain extent.
This situation did not change until the 1960s.
Not just jobs, but opportunities for higher education.
Although many public universities allowed women to attend college in the 19th century, these universities were basically community colleges, which were vocational and technical schools in nature and taught some simple social vocational skills.
And prestigious schools such as Harvard, Yale, and Caltech basically only started recruiting female students after the 1970s.
Even for schools like MIT, which started recruiting girls relatively early (1911), the enrollment ratio is extremely low.
Therefore, in this era, there are basically very few serious female high-level talents. Even if there are one or two occasionally, they are basically young ladies from big families working for their families.
So unless Josie is looking for a vase, she can only use men.
But if he really wanted to find a vase, why would Josie seek out a headhunter?
After completing the interviews, Qiao Xi assigned the first task to the five people...the three professional managers were to find a suitable factory site, and the administrative secretary and finance were to find a suitable office building.
After assigning the task, Qiao Xi declined the banquet invited by McKinsey executives and prepared to go home.
But as soon as he left the McKinsey & Company building, he saw a large group of police cars and Urala speeding past in front of him.
At the same time, from the lakeside area not far away, there was the sound of frying beans.
Well, that was actually the sound of a submachine gun.
Although he didn't know what happened specifically, but in line with the principle of doing more things than doing less, Qiao Xi decisively chose the opposite direction and prepared to take a detour home.
Are you watching the excitement? Just kidding, you are using a submachine gun. Can you just watch this kind of excitement? Bullets don’t have eyes.
However, according to that stone man's law... ahem, Murphy's law.
The more you fear something, the more likely it will become.
Because of the detour, Qiao Xi passed a park path with few cars, and suddenly a person appeared in front of him.
Josie stepped on the brakes instinctively.
In addition, because the road was narrow, his speed was not fast, so he did not hit him.
But after seeing the person clearly, Qiao Xi regretted stepping on the brakes.
Because he was very tall, Qiao Xi estimated that he was two meters tall, but this was not the key. The key was that the other party had a gun in his hand and was pointing it at Qiao Xi.
"Hey, man, don't be impulsive, just say whatever you want!" Faced with the gun, Qiao Xi raised his hands very decisively, but in his heart, he was already ready to take out the spray gun from the system warehouse when the other party didn't notice.
Be prepared to give the other side a kick.
"Sorry, sir, we just need a car!" The tall man gestured with his gun and motioned for Josie to get out of the car.
Heh, that's quite polite, but it doesn't change the fact that you're going to die... But... you guys?
Just when Qiao Xi was a little confused, another little old man holding a black leather bag, wearing a suit and leather shoes, and looking quite a gentleman came out of the bushes on the roadside.
Wait, Lyndon Schneider? When Josie saw the old man's appearance, he immediately remembered the news about the robbery in the newspaper that morning.
Good guy, I'm so lucky.
"Sorry sir, but we really need a car!" Lyndon Schneider politely took off his hat, saluted Qiao Xi, and said a little apologetically, but the next moment, when he saw Qiao Xi clearly
Behind Xi's face, he was slightly startled and then said, "Young man, who is Heinze Kahn to you?"
When Josie heard this name, he was stunned because it was the name of his deceased father.
"Do you know my father?" Josie couldn't help but frowned.
"Oh, of course, then you should be Josie Kahn, and I am Erwin Lyndon Schneider, a friend of your father's." the little old man said.
Haha, of course I know you are Lyndon Schneider, and my name is Josie Kahn. We are in the same newspaper, Josie complained in her heart.
But since the other party can call his father's name, what he said should be true.
Moreover, although the other party spoke English, he had a strong Bavarian accent. Coupled with the German surname Schneider and his slightly old-fashioned acting style, he was probably of German or Austrian origin.
"But I have never heard my father mention that he also has a friend who is a big thief." Josie picked a pick and mocked, "And I don't think any friend would let someone point a gun at someone else's child."
"It is understandable that if I were a father, I would not tell my children that I have a friend who is a criminal." However, somewhat unexpectedly, the little old man did not pay attention to Josie's ridicule, but instead
She acknowledged his statement very generously, then turned to the big man and said, "Dix, put the gun down."
The big man obviously trusted Linden Schneider and immediately put down the gun.
"Child, I'm very sorry for causing you bad trouble, and you should have read the newspaper. Our current situation is very bad. The police are chasing us, so we can only borrow your car. The police will come later.
Now, you don’t have to keep it a secret for us. To tell the truth, I believe the police won’t embarrass you. Besides, holding these things is our compensation!” Just as Qiao Xi was thinking about whether to take advantage of this opportunity and use a gun to kill the guy.
When he looked like a dangerous big man, Lyndon Schneider apologized, opened the black leather bag in his arms, took out a handful of priceless rough diamonds, and stuffed them into Josie's hand.
This time, Qiao Xi felt a little embarrassed.
Although his two Lincoln Continentals are quite valuable, and they were given by Margot, which is of great significance.
But the handful of gems that the other party thrust into his hands were enough to buy at least a dozen cars.
Playing with the jewelry in his hand, Josie couldn't help but think deeply.
Then just as the other person started the car, he spoke.
