50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 872 Another Talent Discovered

As Sun Zhiwei watched the finance representative speaking eloquently, a thought suddenly struck him.

He had been troubled by not being able to find a suitable person to manage the shipping company, and this was a perfect candidate.

This finance representative, named Lawn Fisher, was actually just an ordinary accountant, but that doesn't mean he was uneducated.

Although the Roberts Group is not well-known, it is a large conglomerate managing hundreds of billions of dollars, and the benefits are excellent.

Therefore, the people recruited by the group are all highly educated talents, and it is impossible for any of them to be too incompetent.

The only difference is the order of joining the company. The positions above are already occupied, and the positions in the group are all filled by one person at a time. If the people above don't leave, how will the people below get a chance to rise?

Perhaps he joined the company too late and failed to make any significant contributions, which is why he didn't get a higher position, or perhaps someone else was more outstanding than him.

In short, as employees sent by the head office to conduct foreign negotiations, the group gave them the title of financial representatives so that they would not be looked down upon afterward.

However, it is not an easy thing for him to stand out within the group company.

It is not uncommon for highly educated individuals to work as ordinary employees at the group headquarters.

Only those who have made substantial contributions will be promoted exceptionally, but the number is very small.

Under normal circumstances, it would take years to get promoted to a supervisory position.

So when Sun Zhiwei explained his meaning, Lauen Fisher was overjoyed.

This is actually a shortcut: go down from the head office to a local branch, accumulate enough merit, and then come back for a promotion and a raise, commonly known as "gilding".

But this only applies to capable people. Incompetent people who are removed from their positions may never recover and may never have the chance to return to the group headquarters.

And for Raun Fisher, wasn't this the opportunity he had been dreaming of?

Having finally managed to meet the company chairman, he immediately demonstrated his abilities and, as expected, won the chairman's appreciation.

Although the shipping company currently only has 10 ships, it is small but complete.

He works at the group headquarters, so he naturally knows how many branches the group has and which branches have shipping needs.

It can be said that the shipping company, backed by a large group, has enormous potential and has no worries about business.

Now that Sun Zhiwei has transferred him to take charge of a region, as long as he develops the shipping company, he will naturally rise to prominence in the future.

Seeing how happy Laune Fisher was, Sun Zhiwei also thought it was good; at least the man was willing to go to a newly established small company.

Raun Fisher also took the opportunity to make his own request, hoping to bring a few people with him to the new company.

After all, he was going to a new company, and he couldn't do without his own trusted people. Moreover, he didn't understand the business and wasn't even familiar with ships, so he naturally needed someone knowledgeable to help him.

This includes the shipbuilding engineer who came to Tokyo with him. The two have gotten along very well working together.

The other party was just an ordinary engineer, but he was much more familiar with the shipbuilding industry than he was, and bringing him to the new company would be a great help to him.

Sun Zhiwei was very understanding and had no objections. He even agreed to help him ask the group for the person.

After agreeing on how to handle the fleet, Lawn Fisher decided to lead the fleet back to Cleveland the following day.

He planned to return with the ship and fleet, taking the opportunity to personally travel the inland waterways of North America.

Before expanding his fleet, this was his main business, and he needed to understand the processes thoroughly to avoid being misled by his subordinates. Sun Zhiwei expressed his approval of Fisher's choice, recognizing him as someone who truly takes things seriously.

I believe the shipping company will have a bright future under his leadership, which is one of the benefits of having a capable subordinate.

If only there were more like him, he could be a hands-off manager in many things. Unfortunately, such talents are rare and hard to find.

If only there were a talent attribute panel, this damn space is not intelligent at all, all it knows is to eat people.

After sending Laun Fisher away, Sun Zhiwei silently complained about his cheat.

The next day, Ji Yongjia led his crew to Tokyo aboard the Gulfstream 3. Sun Zhiwei first took them to the port to receive the remaining 5-ton Great Lakes-type bulk carrier.

That evening, Sun Zhiwei hosted a banquet at the hotel to welcome them back.

Only then did he return to the hotel room with Ji Yongjia to speak alone.

Sun Zhiwei poured Ji Yongjia a glass of red wine at the bar in the corner of the hotel room's living room, and then the two started chatting.

Sun Zhiwei hadn't been back for several months, so Ji Yongjia first told him about the situation in Natuna and Subi Island.

"After you left last time, we continued to monitor the situation at the monkeys' home to prevent them from attacking again."

"As a result, a few days later, the intelligence personnel sent back news that one of the two remaining 'Bejia'-class corvettes in the monkey's house had actually suffered a boiler explosion in the port."

"I heard that many people died, and a large hole was blown into the cabin."

"Given the monkeys' shipbuilding capabilities, they have no chance of repairing it, which reduces our threat level."

Sun Zhiwei understood upon hearing this; his previous arrangements had taken effect. This was good; with one escort ship remaining, he believed the monkeys wouldn't dare to act recklessly anymore.

Leaving one ship behind was also intentional on his part. As an ally of the Russian bear, it would be too embarrassing for the monkey to not even have a single escort ship at home.

Even if the Russians are reluctant, they will still have to get them another frigate.

It's uncertain what kind of ship the monkeys will get back from the bears; it might be an even more powerful warship, in which case their efforts will have been in vain.

It would be better to leave one for the monkeys. The 'Bejia'-class corvettes aren't any good ships either. They've already taken one, so they have experience dealing with them.

"This is a good thing. However, the monkeys are incredibly arrogant. We must remain vigilant until we subdue them."

“I understand. When we had a meeting on the island, Captain Dong Haoyang reminded us of the same thing.”

"In addition, the fourth batch of 500 soldiers has arrived on Subi Island and is currently training."

"Many of the first two batches of soldiers brought their families to the island in the past few months, and now the island has more than 5000 residents."

Hearing about the development on the island, Sun Zhiwei was very pleased. Dong Haoyang was still capable, just a little too old.

But it doesn't matter. When he reaches the appropriate age, one of the squad leaders will be chosen to take over, and he himself will become a civil affairs officer. This way, he can make the best use of his talents.

"It seems like things are going well at home. Let me tell you about what I've accomplished recently."

Then, Sun Zhiwei took out four documents and handed them to Ji Yongjia. They were summaries he had compiled overnight, detailing the situation of the four titanium alloy nuclear submarines.
