This open recruitment for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Guards is the third time it has been held in just three months since the year 3802 in the mainland calendar.
In the first two open recruitments, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Guards recruited a total of 2,739 people, which is considered a strong supplement.
However, after the third recruitment, only 398 people were recruited.
Compared with the first two recruitments, the number of personnel recruited in the third recruitment has undoubtedly dropped significantly.
There are many reasons for this result, but in the eyes of many people, one of the most important reasons is that in the third recruitment, there was one more test than the previous two, and that was the intelligence test.
This intelligence test alone has eliminated nearly half of the applicants, resulting in a significant decrease in the number of successful guard candidates.
Countless people are very confused about this test and the results of this test.
The intelligence test is indeed a very strange thing, but it is just a simple intelligence test, but it has reduced the number of passed guard candidates to such an exaggerated level, which is a bit unjustifiable.
"Actually, the reason is very simple. The reason why we have only recruited so few people is entirely because the vast majority of qualified candidates have been recruited in the first two recruitments."
Xu Yi shook the progress report on the recruitment of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Guards in his hand, and the expression on his face was far less solemn than that of Hart, the captain of the guard opposite him.
"But Mr. President, in these few recruitments, there have been very few people applying. The total number of people who applied for the third time is less than 5,000. The attractiveness of our New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort team is not that low. Right?" Hart looked puzzled. "But among the people who came to apply, humans only account for a small part. The total number is less than a thousand. This is too strange."
"You have to understand one thing. It's not that our Chamber of Commerce escorts are not attractive enough, but that our requirements are high." Xu Yi shook his head. "Honestly, how many do you think can meet the requirements?"
"Hmm... That's really not much." Hart smiled bitterly and glanced at Xu Yi with a strange expression. "But President, this is entirely because your requirements are too high. Otherwise, I think it would be okay to recruit ten times more people based on the conditions we have offered."
"Then what? What's the use of recruiting a group of guys who can't do anything?" Xu Yi asked. "To tell you the truth, I am very dissatisfied with the guards you have recruited now. If we were not in a hurry to hire people, I would have wanted to eliminate another batch of these guys."
The wry smile on Hart's face deepened.
"President, don't talk about you, even I want to throw a lot of guys out. At the beginning, I didn't understand why you insisted on adding an intelligence test item, but now I completely understand. These days we It would be exhausting to train these new recruits to learn how to operate military magic machines.”
"Ha. Now you understand why I have been asking you to spend more time for training in the escort team, right? Let me tell you, in the future, the Chamber of Commerce will develop more and more types of military magic machines, and the operation will become more and more cumbersome. If you don't hurry up, Take the time to study, maybe you won’t be able to use the good things I give you in the future.” Although Xu Yi had a smile on his face, his tone was very serious.
Hart nodded slowly and hummed.
"I understand. President, in fact, I have been feeling more and more unable to keep up recently. So... I would like to make a request to you... "
"What? You want me to throw a few researchers into the escort team?" Xu Yi asked with squinting eyes.
Hart was suddenly stunned: "President, how do you know? Has anyone mentioned it to you?"
"No. Just based on my inference, you should also need to make this request. Okay. You don't need to say this, I have already had this idea. Taking advantage of this expansion of the Chamber of Commerce escort team, I will additionally recruit from researchers Mobilize a few researchers who are interested in and research the practical application of military magic machinery to your escort team to help you better understand and operate various types of military magic machinery." Xu Yi waved his hand.
"Great!" Hart was immediately overjoyed. "President, I didn't expect you to attach so much importance to our escort team. This is really..."
Xu Yi couldn't help but sneered.
"What you said, why don't I pay attention to the escort team? To tell you the truth, the escort team will be the most important department of our chamber of commerce for a long time to come. You are the person in charge of the escort team, so be prepared. Prepare."
Hart stood up suddenly. He saluted with a snap.
"President, please rest assured that the entire escort team is fully prepared and willing to dedicate everything to the Chamber of Commerce at any time!"
Xu Yi looked at Hart with some humor.
"Hey, Hart. When did you learn this trick?"
Hart chuckled: "I saw it in "Legend of the Sunset Empire" before and thought it was very good, so I used it."
Xu Yi burst out laughing, thinking that he and Hart had worked together for so many years, and only today did he realize that this guy also had this humorous side.
The so-called "Legend of the Sunset Empire" is the latest illusion film released by the Crescent Chamber of Commerce. It tells the story of a fictional Sunset Empire from its rise to glory and finally its decline. Because of the grand scenes, the atmosphere and twists and turns of the story, it became very popular as soon as it was broadcast.
I didn’t expect that Hart also watched this and even learned this POSE from it. It was really surprising.
But what would Hart think if he knew that the POSE he learned and the sentence he said were written by Xu Yi himself
After Hart discussed with Xu Yi for a while about the Chamber of Commerce escorts, he said goodbye and left.
Xu Yize picked up the recruitment progress report he left, with a trace of hesitation in his eyes.
Although the open recruitment of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Guards ended up recruiting too few people, the main reason was because the standards set by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Guards were too high, but there was another reason that couldn't be ignored, which was the problem of soldier resources.
In the final analysis, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is just a chamber of commerce. In the eyes of everyone, the so-called Chamber of Commerce Guards are just ordinary chamber of commerce employees.
Although Xu Yi has been working hard to cultivate a sense of identity and belonging among the guards of the Chamber of Commerce through Hart and others, and has achieved considerable results, the Chamber of Commerce is only a chamber of commerce after all, not a country.
If a country wants to recruit troops, it can even take coercive measures to force all people in the country who meet the conditions to join the army.
But a chamber of commerce can only use its own conditions to attract others to join.
Although the conditions offered by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are enough to make everyone and all races excited, but being limited to the Chamber of Commerce, the resources of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are very limited.
If it weren't for the fact that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has always had a good relationship with the foreign races on the mainland and can obtain a large number of supplements from the foreign races, then the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escorts might have to recruit from within the Principality of Standing and some stragglers from other countries. .
The quality of the soldiers recruited in this way can naturally be imagined.
The requirements of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are very high, so the final pass rate is of course extremely low.
This will make it more and more popular that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's escort team is particularly demanding, further limiting the number of troops.
So in fact, despite the fact that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is famous enough and the salary offered by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team is good enough, the number of people who actually apply for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team is not as many as expected.
For example, in the third open recruitment, among the less than 5,000 applicants who came to apply, there were actually less than 1,000 humans, and the rest were all of different races.
One is because most humans are unwilling to leave their homes and go to the Principality of Standing to join the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Guards. The other is that many of the human warriors who applied for jobs are veteran mercenaries in the human world. They can also be called soldiers. He was far from meeting Xu Yi's requirements, so he was always eliminated. Naturally, not many people were willing to come.
Of course, the problem of soldier resources is not unsolvable.
For example, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce now has branches and established many factory bases in most countries on the Sainz continent, and has also established strategic partnerships with many countries.
If Xu Yi is willing, he can directly set up military bases in these countries and recruit local guards to expand the size and radiation range of the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce escorts.
But in this way, the nature of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the eyes of other countries will inevitably change instantly.
If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce could be regarded as an ordinary chamber of commerce before, and most countries could cooperate with it normally, then once the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce really starts to establish military bases in various places, it will pose a real threat to other countries.
Compared with before, this is completely different.
This is where Xu Yi hesitated.
The development of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in Sainz Continent has now reached a bottleneck. If it wants to break through, it will need the support of strong force, so that it can continue to gain development space in the hands of other countries.
And if it expands its military force, it means that relations with other countries will become tense, which in a certain sense will limit its own development space.
And the investment required to expand military force can almost be regarded as a bottomless pit.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is still in a critical period of development, and there are too many areas where money is needed. It is not impossible to increase investment in the escort team, but investing too much will cause too much pressure and is not advisable.
The specific allocation and implementation of this ratio can only be decided by Xu Yi, the president, but no one else can share the burden for him.
That's why Xu Yi rarely hesitated.
Because he knows very well that his decision will not only affect the fate of nearly 300,000 people in the entire Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but may even affect the fate of the entire Sainz Continent. (~^~)
