Chapter 37 Lyndon Schneider
The interview at McCarthy Company went very smoothly. Josie successfully recruited five suitable personnel, three professional managers with relevant working experience, one financial manager, and one administrative secretary.
All five are men.
This is normal. Before World War II, even in a country with early modernization like the United States, the proportion of women participating in social work was very low, and they were basically concentrated in "female" jobs such as teachers, office clerks, service or retail.
After the United States officially entered the war, because a large number of men joined the army and the society was seriously lacking in labor force, a large number of women went to all walks of life under the encouragement of the Roosevelt administration.
After the end of World War II and the return of a large number of male labor forces, 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 go to college in the 19th century, these universities are basically some community colleges, which are vocational and technical schools in nature and teach some simple social and vocational skills.
Famous schools such as Harvard, Yale, and Caltech basically only began to recruit girls after the 1970s.
Even a school like MIT that began to admit girls earlier (1911) had an extremely low enrollment rate.
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 ladies from big families who work for themselves.
So unless Josie wants to find a vase, she can only use men.
But if you really want to find a vase, why is Josie looking for a headhunter?
After completing the interview, Josie assigned the first task to the five people... The role of the three professional managers was to find a suitable factory site, and the task of the administrative secretary and the financial manager was to find a suitable office building.
Arranged, the task, Josie declined the banquet of McKinsey's senior management, ready to go home.
It’s just that as soon as he stepped out of the McKinsey & Company building, he saw a police car from the brigade, and Ulala sped past in front of him.
At the same time, there was a sound of frying beans from the lakeside area not far away.
Well, that's actually the sound of a submachine gun.
Although she didn't know exactly what happened, but based on the principle that more things are worse than less things, Josie decisively chose the opposite direction and prepared to detour home.
Watching the fun? Just kidding, I'm already using a submachine gun, can this kind of excitement be watched casually? Bullets don't have eyes.
However, according to the law of the stone man... ahem, Murphy's law.
The more you are afraid of something, the more it becomes.
Because of a detour, Josie passed a park path with few cars, and suddenly a person appeared in front of him.
Josie instinctively stepped on the brakes.
But after seeing the person who jumped out clearly, Josie regretted stepping on the brakes.
Because of her very tall stature, Josie estimated that she might be two meters tall, but this is not the key point. The key point is that the opponent held a gun in his hand and pointed it at Josie.
"Hey, buddy, don't be impulsive, you can say anything you want!" Facing the muzzle of the gun, Josie raised her hands decisively, but she was already prepared in her heart. When the other party didn't pay attention, she took out the spray gun from the system warehouse. Prepare for the other party to take a note.
"Sorry, sir, we just need a car!" The tall man gestured with his gun and motioned Josie to get out of the car.
Heh, that's pretty polite, but it doesn't change the fact that you're going to die...but... you guys?
Josie was having some doubts, and another gentleman-looking little old man in a suit and leather shoes came out of the bushes by the side of the road, holding a black leather bag.
Wait, Lyndon Schneider? Seeing the old man's appearance, Josie immediately remembered the news of the robbery in the morning newspaper.
Good guy, I'm really lucky.
"Sorry sir, but we really need a car!" Lyndon Schneider politely took off his hat, saluted Josie, and said apologetically, but the next moment, when he saw Josie clearly Behind Xi's face, he was slightly taken aback and said, "Young man, who is Heinze Kahn to you?"
Josie was stunned when he heard the name, because it was the name of his dead father.
"You know my father?" Josie couldn't help frowning.
"Oh, of course, then you should be Josie Kahn, I am Erwin Lyndon Schneider, and I am a friend of your father." The little old man said.
Hehe, of course I know you are Lyndon Schneider, and my name is Josie Kahn, but we are in a newspaper, Josie complained in his heart.
But since the other party can call out his father's name, then what he said should be true.
Although the other party spoke English, but with a strong Bavarian accent, coupled with Schneider's German surname, and that slightly old-fashioned style of behavior, 80% of them were also German or Austrian.
"But I've never heard my father mention it. He also has a thief friend." Josie picked it up and mocked, "And I don't think any friend would let someone point a gun at someone else's child."
"It's understandable. If I were a father, I wouldn't tell my children that I have a friend who is a criminal." However, somewhat unexpectedly, the little old man didn't care about Josie's ridicule. He agreed with 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.
"Son, I'm very sorry for causing you bad trouble, and you should have read the newspaper, our situation is very bad now, the police are chasing us, so I can only borrow your car, and the police will come later Now, you don’t have to keep it secret for us, to be honest, I believe the police won’t embarrass you, and besides, holding these things is our compensation!” Josie was thinking about whether to take this opportunity to take out the gun When he looked like a dangerous man, Linden Schneider apologized, opened the black leather bag in his arms, took out a large handful of priceless rough diamonds, and stuffed them into Josie's hands.
Now Josie is a little embarrassed.
Although his Lincoln Continental is quite valuable, and it was a gift from Margot, it is very meaningful.
But the large amount of gems that the other party stuffed into his hands is enough to buy a dozen cars at least.
Playing with the jewelry in his hand, Josie couldn't help but think.
Then when the other party started the car, he spoke.
"I think you may need a place to hide."
