Chapter 23 This is the man who wants to become the pirate king
With Gu Kun talking about the stakes, Long Wu and Chen Li had nothing to be suspicious of. Of course they chose to follow the boss's plan and did not dare to have any second thoughts.
At noon, all the sailing work was completed and all the diesel was shipped. Gu Kun personally made a few final remarks at the dock and sent them on their way.
In fact, I didn’t make any money on the first trip because I had to buy another oil drum to hold the thousand barrels of diesel. A 150-liter tin drum only cost dozens of yuan each, which basically covered the price difference. So this time
The significance is mainly to try to run through this business model and explore the path.
Gu Kun stood on the dock and patted Long Wu on the shoulder: "You should know the importance of keeping this matter confidential. If others discover the business opportunity and work together, our profits will not be guaranteed.
If you dare to think of saving enough capital and renting a boat to go it alone, you can try it. But let me say the ugly thing first. I think this kind of diesel price difference is only caused by the slow response of state-owned enterprises and cannot last for a few months.
If you want to get rid of me just to make quick money in the past few months, then think about what will happen in the future."
Gu Kun used kindness and power at the same time, and put the ugly words first.
Long Wu suppressed his blush: "Captain, you don't believe in my character? Although I am stunned, I still have a good career with whoever I follow. Even if I only earn two or three thousand a month, I won't
I betrayed you for a mere tens of thousands of dollars. If the news about the oil price difference leaks out even in half a sentence when I reply to Lan Fang, I will be punished by death!"
Gu Kun waved his hands placatingly: "It's not that I don't believe you, I'm just trying to reason with you and don't get excited. I just want you to know that if you work hard with me, after these three months of testing, you will be able to
It’s a boat that I contracted myself.
I believe that in three months I will have more than one ship, and I will need many captains, so every veteran who hangs out with me, as long as he is capable and loyal, will have the opportunity to be a captain. By then, it will no longer be
Even if I take a dead salary, I will also give each captain the opportunity to share dividends from his fishing business profits."
After hearing this, Long Wu felt a little unsure: "Ship... Captain? Anyone like me has a chance to be a captain? But, doesn't a captain need a lot of skills? I haven't even finished high school, and I'm just a rough guy..."
Chen Li couldn't stand listening anymore. She had finished high school after all, so she tried her best to pinch her husband to make him tougher.
This guy is very courageous and confident, but when it comes to taking on leadership positions, he gets timid. Alas.
Gu Kun saw it all, just smiled, and then said at his own pace: "I have always believed that as long as IQ is okay, I can learn and practice my skills from work. I haven't finished high school yet.
, it may not mean that you can’t be a captain——
Since you have read the history of junior high school, let me ask you a question: Do you think a dog-killer like Fan Kuai is worthy of becoming a general? Is a driver like Xia Houying worthy of being a captain? Xiao He is a scholar, but he is not so good.
Does your knowledge make you worthy of being a prime minister?"
Long Wu squeaked and scratched his head: "These people are all talented, right? The big names in the history books must have extraordinary qualities that we don't know about."
Gu Kun couldn't help but feel angry and funny: "You're amazing! You should be playing the "Three Kingdoms" with glory. When every person is born, the system writes on his head 'Zhuge Liang, intelligence 100', 'Lü Bu, force 100'
'Such data?
The difference between people is actually not that big. The key to success depends on whether you follow the right boss and work hard in the right direction. In the early Han Dynasty, there were dozens of famous ministers and generals who were born in P County, including butchers, cart drivers, blind scribes, and scribes from all walks of life.
, do you really think these people are talented? It’s not because they are from the same hometown as Liu Bang, so they followed the boss early.
In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the author Luo Guanzhong was playing metaphysics, pretending to be the best of hindsight, and wrote a few lines: "When the stars gather in Yingchuan, there must be many wise men in the land" - the wise men are nothing, that's because the Yingchuan people are following Qiao
County Cao Cao's hometown is very close, Conglong Zao!
If we really want to measure IQ, among the fifty counties and hundreds of counties in the late Qin Dynasty, maybe each county has a person whose intelligence value and force value are higher than those blind people in County P. In the thirteen states and Yezhou states in the late Han Dynasty, there are people who are better than the Yingchuan Magi.
'Awesome."
Ma Feng’s Ali Eighteen Arhats may not really have a decisive and unique advantage over the management talents of other small companies in the Internet industry.
Their success is simply because they were loyal to Ma Feng earlier, so there were opportunities for them to seize. Of course, they also have to have some ability, at least to the extent that "you can seize the opportunity if you are given a chance."
Otherwise, if the ability is really weak, it will be a joke of "I gave you a chance and you failed to use it."
However, Ma Feng's example has not happened yet, so it is difficult to use it as an example.
Since ancient times, it is not unreasonable for an emperor to have only one courtier. This shows that apart from very professional matters such as scientific research, there is actually no shortage of talents in other aspects. There are many qualified people. In comparison, trust is the key
Scarce resources.
(Of course, scientists are always scarce, so no matter who is in power, they must be reused. Even if the leadership of a large company is reshuffled, the marketing, marketing, finance, procurement, and personnel administration can all be laid off and replaced with their own people. But the R&D department still requires stability.
Figure it out slowly, otherwise the company will be doomed. The power struggle is limited to liberal arts students killing each other.)
Gu Kun's words really made Long Wu and Chen Li feel like they had opened the door to a new world.
Damn it! How can this world be so understanding?
Originally, they just mechanically felt that their boss was too awesome and they must serve as a watchdog for their boss with all their heart.
But they really have no confidence in their own upward path. There is always a rigid, metaphysical obstacle to seeing problems.
It's like thinking that the operation of this world is as hard-coded and predetermined as in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", so it's just as lazy as a salted fish to struggle.
Gu Kun's words made them see the possibility of struggle.
So what if you don’t study much? As long as you follow your boss, solve problems when you encounter them, are willing to learn, and are loyal enough, you will have a chance to climb to a high position!
Long Wu felt that his whole body was boiling with excitement, even more so than after drinking three large bowls of Ma's hot chicken soup.
"Don't worry, boss, you can leave all the return routes to me in the future! I will make sure everything is foolproof and I will give you a lot of money! If even a single sentence is leaked, I, Long Wu, will kill my whole family!" Long Wu said, patting his chest.
They all turned red, almost like a gorilla beating its chest.
Gu Kun smiled and nodded, watching Long Wu and Chen Li set sail.
There isn't much hard fishing on the return trip, it's just transportation, so two crew members are enough.
"Brother, when did you tell so many great truths? The leader is so clever, I didn't realize it before." Gu Pan stood by and watched the ship disappear on the horizon before he came back to his senses.
My brother's eloquence to inspire morale is so good, he is simply a born leader.
Even a farmer who listens to his encouragement will be so excited that he kicks his own cattle and plows ten acres of land manually.
"This is nothing. After all, this time I am handing over a million-dollar ship to Long Wu and his wife to take charge of it alone. The sea is vast and has no laws and restrictions. How can they control it without giving them some hot-blooded medicine? How can you still control it?
You are still young, please be diligent and learn more."
Gu Kun said lightly.
There is no doubt that this is all the experience gained from his previous life as a large shipowner and the boss of a shipping company.
The high seas is a lawless place, and it requires very strong control skills to avoid dissent.
Especially when you lead a fleet or even a fleet instead of a single ship, and you want to control the captains of other ships so that he and you, the fleet commander, are always on the same page, it will be even more difficult.
It may be easier for a fleet that has a sense of belonging to the country, since it has the backing of national prestige.
The commanders of the pirate fleets all possess unparalleled charisma and cohesiveness.
This also explains why there are so many famous pirate captains in history, but there are very few pirate kings who command a huge pirate fleet.
On the high seas, without the protection of law and state authority, you need all the resources on other ships, unconditionally risk their lives to obey you, and obey your orders and prohibitions in good times and bad.
The skills of controlling his subordinates are no better than those of the big bosses of multinational corporations.
Today's combination of kindness and power is just a small test for someone who is no longer a trivial person.
