The company has a grassroots salesman named Akibote. Whether going out, shopping, eating, paying bills, or even writing letters to friends, he never forgets to write "standard oil of $4 per barrel" whenever he has the opportunity to sign. Sometimes, Akibot doesn't even write his own name, just write this sentence without writing his own signature. After a long time, colleagues jokingly called him "4 yuan a barrel."
One day four years later, Rockefeller overheard it and appreciated it very much, so he invited archibald to dinner and asked him why he did it. Archibald said, "Isn't this the company's slogan?" Rockefeller said, "Do you feel obligated to promote the company after work?" Akibot asked, "Why not? Am I not a member of this company after work? Don't I write one more time and one more person will know? "
Rockefeller was impressed by Akibot's behavior and began to cultivate him. Five years later, Rockefeller resigned. He did not hand over the position of the second chairman to his son, but to Akibot. The appointment surprised everyone, including archibald himself. In fact, people should not be surprised. A person who always takes the fate of the company to heart will naturally gain the trust of the boss. The boss naturally dares to entrust him with the important business of the company. Afterwards, it was proved that Rockefeller's appointment was a wise decision. Under Akibot's leadership, American Standard Oil Company became more prosperous.
