Chapter 3553
Some families were happy and some were sad. When Zhang Tiangui's mansion was flooded with visitors from all walks of life, his son Zhang Qianzhi was not happy at all, because the sharp influx of orders in the shipbuilding industry also had a negative impact on the work he was responsible for. The impact.
Before the Zhoushan Forum was held, Zhang Qianzhi received two important tasks from He Xi.
The first is to contact the personnel deployed by the Ministry of Security in Ming Dynasty in the early years to re-activate the Infinite Plan that has been suspended for many years.
These latent personnel spent a lot of resources from the Ministry of Security to pave the way for them. Many of them later entered the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, but lost contact with the Ministry of Security for various reasons. Now it is time to wake them up.
However, so far, this work has not gone too smoothly, and only two or three of them have been contacted. And these people have been working for Ming Dynasty for many years. Whether they are trustworthy and available now remains to be seen.
Another task is to recruit new people for the Security Department and expand its establishment.
The current staff size of the Security Department can no longer keep up with the speed of Shanghai Han's expansion. Li Dechang, who received the appointment some time ago and went to Phuket to take up the post, is the best example.
He Xi appointed Li Dechang as the head of the Ministry of Security in the Indian Ocean region, but did not assign him a subordinate team, leaving him to go to his post alone.
If his father, Li Dagui, had not had many years of experience in Xingdao and could allocate manpower from the local area to assist him, then he would have been the only one to maintain the Indian Ocean Intelligence Station where he was stationed, and he would have become a true polished commander.
Similar manpower shortages also affected other tasks. For example, after restarting the Infinite Plan, the Ministry of Security needed to send people to Guizhou, Hunan, Jiangxi and other regions to contact target persons. However, due to the shortage of manpower in the field department, the progress of related operations was very slow.
Recruiting people is even more urgent than restarting the Infernal Affairs Plan.
Zhang Qianzhi also thought of many ways to recruit new people through various channels, but the results were not ideal.
Recruiting people from special departments such as the military and police is undoubtedly the best shortcut, and can almost seamlessly connect to the work of the security department. However, the transfer of personnel in these departments is also the most troublesome. The power of the Security Department is not so great that it can select whomever it wants. Zhang Qianzhi is interested in almost all capable personnel, and his superiors will not let them go easily.
Another good recruitment channel is students at school. The background check is simple, and the recruitment talk of serving the country is more likely to be accepted by young people.
After Zhang Qianzhi worked hard, he has selected a group of students from various academies in Hainan. After they graduate, they can be recruited into the Security Department to start internships.
However, the sudden boom in the shipbuilding industry has added an unreasonable competitor to the recruitment activities of the Ministry of Security.
At the beginning, major shipyards only recruited professional talents from navigation and shipbuilding-related majors in various colleges. However, the number of students in these majors is limited after all, and they were quickly rounded up by major shipyards.
Latecomers cannot recruit people in relevant majors, so they can only expand the scope of recruitment. Then the recruitment standards dropped again and again, from professionals to just those with a certain cultural foundation.
This is not a random move. For shipyards eager to hire people, students in non-related majors are also useful.
It doesn’t matter that these students don’t know how to build ships. After all, after the shipyards expand their production capacity, there are also a large number of vacancies for positions that require cultural foundations such as clerks, drawings, cashiers, and warehouse management. These positions are incompetent for craftsmen who do rough work, and they are exactly what is needed. A large number of young people who can write and calculate will fill in the gaps.
And all the shipyards and shipyards that come to Hainan to recruit people are now wealthy owners. The salary of each recruitment position is higher than that of each other. The bosses can't wait to wave the banknotes in their hands to attract attention. This rising tide lifts all boats, which quickly has an impact on recruitment in other industries, including the security department, which does not have much oil and water.
Although the Security Department has special privileges, personal treatment is not very generous.
Zhang Qianzhi himself has been in this yamen for thirty years. Now he is considered a high-ranking official, but he has not become a rich man.
Compared with his brothers who have developed in the shipbuilding industry, the personal wealth accumulated over the years is even worse.
The benefits that the Ministry of Security can provide for recruitment positions are really lackluster. On the contrary, they have many requirements, such as cultural foundation, good health, and a clean family background. Moreover, after starting a career, you still need to be here at any time, your mouth must be locked, and the strings must be tightened at all times.
Comparing this with the generous treatment and relatively low requirements of the shipbuilding industry, anyone in their right mind would probably choose the latter.
Therefore, many candidates who were originally favored by Zhang Qianzhi and had already been contacted signed employment contracts with shipyards that were recruiting heavily during this period.
After Zhang Qianzhi received the news, he felt helpless. He knew that the recruitment conditions he could offer could not compete with those of his wealthy competitors, and it was also inconvenient for him to use his power to get these shipyards to reject his chosen candidates. .
Many of these shipyards are inextricably linked to the government, and are even family businesses run by a certain traveler. If he uses the name of the Security Department to suppress the other party, they might turn around and move out some big shot that he can't afford to offend.
As a result, the recruitment plan of the Security Department will be greatly affected. Among the candidates selected by Zhang Qianzhi earlier, only a few people insisted on choosing the Security Department. This progress is still far behind the recruitment gap of the Security Department.
This also caused Zhang Qianzhi to smile bitterly when he returned to his mansion and saw the bustling scene at home.
If the unusual popularity of the job market continues, then his recruitment task will definitely not be completed within the scheduled time. How to deal with He Xi then will be a headache.
It was not until after dark that the visiting guests gradually dispersed. Zhang Qianzhi went to greet his old father. Knowing that he must be very tired after receiving guests, he did not dare to delay any longer, so he was about to say goodbye and go back to rest, but was unexpectedly stopped by Zhang Tiangui.
"Looking at your sad face, is there any trouble?"
No one knows a son better than his father. As soon as Zhang Tiangui met him, he knew that his youngest son must have something on his mind, so he stopped him and asked him.
Zhang Qianzhi did not hide anything and simply explained the difficulties he was currently facing. He didn't expect his father to be able to solve this problem. Being able to talk to his family about his work troubles and vent his bitterness was also a way to relieve stress.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Tiangui actually gave him an idea after listening to it.
"What is the current price for recruiting talents in Hainan? Can your yamen afford it? I think you should look further afield. Don't just focus on this island and try other places."
Zhang Qianzhi smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know the truth, but I have no skills at all times, how many places can I go?"
Zhang Tiangui shook his head and said: "You are an official after all. If you have to do everything yourself, what's the use of recruiting people? If your boss, Mr. He, entrusts this job to you, you won't assign the task and order it. Should each place do it separately? Even if you recruit one person per county, you can recruit a hundred and eighty people in this huge country."
