Chapter 20 Preparing for the MBA
At 6:30 p.m., when the company's watch pointed to this moment, Shen Chen packed up the blue and white striped IELTS preparation book, capped the pen and prepared to leave.

With the longer time of managing the restaurant, although his experience and ability are still a little more than enough, he has foreseen that as the company expands, his ability will become more and more stretched.

Learning knowledge is imperative.

After careful analysis, research and comprehensive consideration, he decided to apply for the MBA of the University of Hong Kong.

MBA - Chinese name Master of Business Administration.

It is the same level as Master of Agriculture, Master of Mechanical Engineering and Master of Education.

Just because modern business is rampant, it seems that "Master of Business Administration" has been given a rather mysterious color.

MBA and EMBA are different.

To put it simply, EMBA is for the rich and famous entrepreneurs. They come to the class to study, mainly to make contacts. The content of the course is a little relaxed. Most of the time, the place of class is the beach, cruise ship, high-end hotel, young model club. …………

Their admission requirements are also very simple, two words - status!
Those who are not successful and famous don't want it!

The admission criteria are clear, and the bosses of small companies know that they are not interesting, and they don't know how to put a hot face on a cold ass, so the admission rate is very high.

The MBA is very "cruel".

He is aimed at "senior wage earners", or "professional managers" in decent terms. Almost all the students are middle-level and senior managers with many years of experience in enterprises or young people who are interested in starting a business. They dare to fight and fight, and they are also aiming at learning knowledge Or get acquainted with a partner.

Shen Chen still hopes that he has the ability to manage the company, so he wants to apply for the MBA program of the University of Hong Kong.

Of course, with his current status, it would be difficult to open a private bank account with HSBC, so applying for an EMBA is a bit self-serving...

Seeing that Shen Chen was about to leave, Jiang Lei leaned forward with his head poked.

"Brother Chen, shall we have dinner together tonight? It's been a long time since we got together."

In the past few days, Jiang Lei dyed his hair yellow, with a rhinestone earring on his right ear, pink short sleeves on his upper body, and colorful cropped pants on his lower body.

The whole person exuded a puff of breath.

Shen Chen glanced back at Ren Tong's work place, she didn't come today, it seemed that her brother was on vacation and came to Bangkok for a few days, and she went to accompany him.

"I'm afraid I can't do it today. I have an appointment. What's the matter? With our relationship, just say it."

Put the book in the bag and zip it up, he has to study at night.

The company is very supportive for employees to learn independently and improve their business capabilities, so when he finishes his job and then reads IELTS books, the supervisor will not say anything.

"Yes, Xiaoxia said that we haven't eaten together for a long time, and I think what she said is very reasonable..." Jiang Lei hesitated.

Shen Chen's mind was like lightning, and he immediately understood.

Xiaoxia is Jiang Lei's girlfriend, a local Chinese, she is quite pretty.

Although Shen Chen didn't like her shrewd influence and was lazy, he would naturally not speak ill of her in front of Jiang Lei.

In fact, another important reason for Shen Chen to be vigilant against Xiaoxia is that he always feels that Xiaoxia looks at him strangely and is too attentive to him.

"It's okay, let's have dinner together. Is there still time? I have an appointment, and the time is almost up, let's go first."

"Bye~"

In the elevator, Shen Chen met Ruan Jie, the two nodded and smiled, as if they were quite polite, as if there was no previous conflict at all.

Riding a little electric donkey.

All the way hit the nail on the head, galloping like lightning.

Before entering the door, Shen Chen saw the brand new old beggar sitting on a wheelchair not far to the left outside the restaurant like a living mascot.

The wheelchair is very new and high-end, and it is specially prepared for old beggars.

This morning, Shen Chen spent another $200 to get 2 "positive energy points", 25 small oranges, and 15 water chestnuts from the old beggar.

Therefore, he paid more and more attention to the "positive energy generator" of the old beggar.

Shen Chen also tried other beggars in the morning, but none of them could generate "positive energy points", and he couldn't figure out why.

The old beggar turned a blind eye to Shen Chen's warm greeting, and even turned his head away.

Shen Chen didn't think it was disobedient, he walked into the restaurant quickly.

"Boss, you asked me to find delivery people. I found 40 people, and you need to make a decision on the last 20 people."

Seeing Shen Chen coming in, Meng Tai walked quickly in a blue suit.

Thailand also has food delivery companies similar to Meituan, but Shen Chen does not plan to use their platform.

Because the food is delicious, there is no shortage of customers at all.

In order to better serve customers and friends... Cough, in order to earn more money, Shen Chen felt that it would be better to form his own delivery team.

Moreover, the young and strong boys can act as security guards by taking off their delivery boy clothes and holding electric batons.

Definitely "one person can use it multiple times".

"Is Marusa here?"

"Waiting for you in the office." Montai stretched out his hand and scratched his forehead. He had never seen such a beautiful girl.

Shen Chen first went to the office to say hello to Marusa, then went out through the back door, walked through a 20-meter-long aisle, and saw young people applying for delivery staff in a 600-square-meter compound.

The weather is hot, and a group of strong young men aged 22-24 are mostly shirtless. Looking around, they are full of abdominal muscles and pectoralis major.

Shen Chen offered an annual salary of 1 US dollars, roughly equivalent to a monthly salary of 3 baht.

For young people like them who have no academic qualifications, no work experience, and a lot of energy, this is simply a salary that they dare not ask for extravagantly.

They looked at Shen Chen and Meng Tai with fearful expressions, nervous eyes, anticipation, confusion and even a little unbelievable complex emotions.

"Looking at them, I suddenly realized that I am really old." Shen Chen laughed at himself, and Montai rubbed his head in embarrassment, he didn't know how to answer.

"If Lidore is here, he should know how to strike up a conversation." Montai muttered.

He's dumb, there's nothing he can do.

These people are all from the "Julisi slums" on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River.

The Chao Phraya River is the mother river of the Thai people, with a basin area of ​​15 square kilometers, accounting for 1/3 of Thailand's area.

He horribly divided Bangkok into two, and then merged into the Gulf of Siam.

Bangkok's economic center of gravity is on the east side of the Chao Phraya River, where Shenchen companies and restaurants are located, while there are large and small slums on the west side of the river.

There is the world of "communities", "gangs" and "underground law enforcement teams". They belong to the "abandoned" crowd.

Although it is only 2 kilometers away from the center of the city's CBD, the situation of "Julishi Slums" is little known.

Capitalist countries have always been cruel and cruel to the people at the bottom. The government authorities have identified slum areas as "unsafe areas" and issued warnings to travel companies and tourists.

For various reasons, very few international citizens travel to slums. Therefore, behind Bangkok, which ranks 36th in the world, people living in these slums seem to exist in this slum with an "identity not recognized by the authorities". World.

Randomly ordered 20 healthy young people, and each of the rest was given a "recruitment fee" of 200 baht, and after delivering a short encouraging speech, Shen Chen asked them to go back.

Those who stay are naturally full of joy, while those who lose are inevitably frustrated.

However, Shen Chen promised that he would give priority to them when recruiting again, so they still had a faint hope in their hearts.

On the way back to the office, Shen Chen gave instructions to Meng Tai while walking.

"Tomorrow, I will go to the motorcycle dealership to buy a takeaway car, and then uniformly paint it in s yellow... oh, it is golden yellow, which is the color of mature rice, and then buy uniform clothing, helmets, and a takeaway incubator..."

After watching Montaigne write down all the notes on his mobile phone meticulously, Shen Chen asked him to do the work.

Shaking himself up, tidying up his clothes, Shen Chen pushed the door open and entered.

"Sorry, I was in a hurry just now. How is it? The food in our restaurant is delicious, right?" Shen Chen looked at Marusa from the corner of the table with a three-pointed smile on his face.

Well, Marusa is wearing a black chiffon skirt with a tight neckline.

She wears light makeup, long hair and shawls, and the diamond studs on her delicate ears are shining under the light, dazzling and dazzling.

"It's okay, you're the big boss. It's a great honor for me to take time out of your busy schedule to meet this little girl." Marusa smiled, her tone was relaxed and sincere, and a sense of humor permeated the air. Come.

"Oh, what kind of big boss am I? I just open a small restaurant and barely make ends meet." Shen Chen cried out, "It's not like you, who fly to major cities every day, work decently, are glamorous, and go in and out of high-end places. The daily contacts are all high-end people.”

"By the way, do you want to try another signature dish of our store, chicken curry?"

Seeing the empty curry rice and the plate of spicy snails on Meng Tai's desk, Shen Chen asked.

He ate so cleanly, he probably wasn't full... right?

"Ah, is it ok? I see a lot of customers outside, the chef must be very busy..." Marusa sat at Montai's desk, her beautiful eyes lit up, and she cutely stuck out her little tongue and licked the corner of her mouth.

She really regretted it a bit. Before she came, she ate a hamburger. After she came, she saw that although the decoration here was considered elegant, it was a small restaurant after all.

Look at the prices on the menu again.

159, 299, 299?

Can this have any good food?

Among the high-end gourmet restaurants she went to before, which one didn't cost more than 2000 baht per person?
Thinking that she had eaten a hamburger, and her interest in so-called restaurant food had greatly diminished, she ordered a curry rice and a spicy snail.

Shen Chen opened the door and leaned over, called a helper, and asked him to serve another rice curry, chicken curry, and of course Shen Chen's food.

"I didn't even eat lunch, so..." Marusa still wanted to restore her image, so she argued pretty.

"It's okay, no need to explain, I understand."

"Damn it~ I really didn't eat lunch, I don't usually eat so much."

"It's okay, there's no shame in being a foodie."
