Chapter-79: who will be the leader to make final decision?
Wendy Lark didn't care, "Then it's up to you guys." What she wanted was a coachman who could help with some chores. High martial arts skills were not the point, as long as he was obedient.
"As for the others, are you interested in making money? Since leaving the capital, we have already earned several thousand silver coins." Who would complain about having too little money? The guards immediately became interested.
"How do you make money?" Wendy Lark revealed the plan she had been planning for a long time. "I plan to buy some goods and sell them at the border. For example, cloth and medicinal herbs that are scarce at the border, I can easily sell them for several times the price."
She had this plan before, but she didn't have enough manpower. The main task of the officers is to escort and manage the prisoners without any mistakes. Moreover, it is not safe when you go out.
There are many bandits who make a living by robbery. If you want to do business, you must either have a certain level of martial arts skills yourself or hire a security company. Now that we have these skilled guards, we can make up for this shortcoming.
The guards looked at each other and discussed for a while. A guard named Simon responded, "This is fine, but I don't know what the rules are?" Since I'm free anyway, I might as well do some small business and make some money, so that the trip won't be in vain.
Wendy Lark pursed her lips and said, "I will contribute 4000 coins to become a shareholder, accounting for 20% of the shares. Mr. Jeff, you and your men will contribute 8000 coins to become a shareholder, accounting for 40% of the shares.
Guard Simon, you will also contribute 8000 coins to become a shareholder, accounting for 40% of the shares. How do you think?" 2:4:4 ratio clear divisions of sharing and benefits is the most solid form of cooperation.
Binding by interests is the long-term solution. Lord Jeff and Guard Simon hesitated for a moment, both undecided. After much thought and discussion, there was no better solution. No one wants to be suppressed by the other party.
Finally, Mr. Jeff made the decision first, "Okay, Miss Wendy's business talent is unquestionable, I believe in you." Both parties agreed, and Guard Simon had no choice but to agree.
Wendy Lark continued to push the plan. "Next, we will form a three-person decision-making group. All plans will be arranged and decided by the three person group. Each party will send one person. Do you have any objections?"
"No." This is very simple. Lord Jeff and Guard Simon were nominated, and together with Wendy Lark, they formed a trio. Wendy Lark easily gained a certain degree of voice and squeezed into the decision making level, but this was not her ultimate goal.
"Since we have a decision making group, there must be a leader who can take charge of the overall situation and make the final decision when there are disagreements. Let's elect one." "I recommend Brother Simon."
"I recommend Brother Jeff." The two sides were at a stalemate, and both wanted to push their own people to power. Wendy Lark did not get involved. She just took a pen and paper and write, enjoying herself.
Everyone was arguing but no one was the winner. Lord Jeff turned around and saw Wendy Lark staying out of the matter, and frowned slightly. "Miss Wendy, what do you want to say?" Wendy Lark raised her head, her eyes bright as water.
"I have given you a test paper, all about business. The questions are very simple. Whoever answers the best will be the leader. This is the fairest. How do you think?"
A guard jumped out and said, "You asked the question, so you must have given the best answer. How can it be fair?"
"No, no, I'm an examiner." Wendy Lark handed over the paper covered with words, "Are you afraid? Are you afraid of exposing the fact that you are not as good as women?"
"Who doesn't dare? Let's take the test." The guard was the first to grab the test paper, and then he was petrified. He rubbed his eyes and looked like he doubted his life again. Mr. Jeff leaned over to take a look, and his mouth twitched.
You call this simple? It's really terrible. "Miss Wendy, do you know all the questions above?" Everyone was dumbfounded when they got the question. What is chicken and rabbit in the same cage? It made me dizzy just looking at it.
Another thing is to make a plan for selling goods and write down the entire process. Headache! Wendy Lark smiled and said. "Of course, it's very simple. The chicken and rabbit in the same cage question comes from Mathematical Classics.
It tests arithmetic ability. If a person can't even figure out arithmetic, what business can he do?"
"This question asks you to write a plan, which tests your planning ability."
"This form tests a person's coordination ability."
"This policy essay question tests a person's coordination and organizational abilities." Everyone's scalp was numb when they saw it. Oh my god, what kind of perversion is this? No wonder they asked them what they knew right away.
Policy essay questions are a skill that the scholars taking the imperial examinations should have, since they are military men! But, we can't say that Wendy Lark is deliberately making things difficult for others.
These are essential qualities to be a leader. It is a disaster to hold a high position without sufficient ability. If virtue is not in line with one's position, disaster will surely follow.
If virtue is weak but one holds a high position, if wisdom is small but one makes big plans, if strength is small but one is entrusted with a heavy responsibility, disaster will seldom occur. Master Jeff figured this out and offered the pen with both hands.
