Volume 2 The Commodity Society Chapter 121 Hua Teng
Chen Feng has already decided to hire Karina in his heart. But he still asked further: "Then which companies do you think are worth acquiring and investing in after the US Internet technology stocks have been hit hard?" β
Karina's dark blue eyes flashed, the corners of her mouth smiled slightly, and she said confidently: "If network technology stocks are hit hard, then I think the first thing to buy is the shares of Cisco, Microsoft, Yahoo, and Amazon. Especially the first two, Cisco and Microsoft, Cisco's stock has risen nearly 1,000 times since it went public 10 years ago, making it one of the most successful stocks in the history of the stock market, and I predict that if it continues to grow at its current rate, it is expected to surpass Microsoft as the world's most valuable company this year. Even if he plummeted in the stock market this time, its future prospects are still optimistic, and there is still a huge room for appreciation. And Microsoft is the same, despite the recent resignation of Bill Gates, and is suffering from antitrust cases, but we must see that Microsoft's current operating system has occupied more than 90% of the world's computer operating system market share, and in my opinion, Microsoft's anti-monopoly turmoil is likely to end without a problem and will be resolved in a peaceful way, because the US government does not want to see Microsoft dismembered, and Microsoft's own public relations ability is also very good in the United States, this time it should be able to survive this crisis without danger, In the long run, Microsoft's future prospects are still very broad, if you buy it while its stock price is falling. It's a good idea, but in my opinion, Microsoft's stock price isn't at its lowest point right now. Microsoft's stock price has split several times, but it's still rising. From this, we can see its potential huge market value in the future. β
"Good, Karina. Your analysis is very good, if you have no opinion. I hope you can quit your current job within a week and become the CEO of our Huateng International Holdings Investment Group for a probationary period of one year, with a tentative annual salary of $1 million. After the probationary period, the annual salary is 2 million US dollars, and if the performance is excellent, I can also allocate a certain amount of shares in your company as a reward. Do you have an opinion on this? β
βyesοΌβ Karina had already clenched her fists excitedly. With a bright smile on his face, he shook his head and said, "No problem! No problem at all! I can be in office in three days. β
"Well, congratulations." Chen Feng stood up and shook hands with her in a very stylish manner, "If there is no opinion, we can sign the employment contract now." β
As soon as Chen Feng signaled to Mai Xiangdong, he took out the two contracts that had been prepared and handed them to Karina and Mai Xiangdong.
Karina wasn't overly excited, and sat down calmly. After reading the contract word by word, it took more than ten minutes before I nodded, picked up the pen, and signed my name on it.
The two signed the employment contract, and they were both relieved at the same time. After shaking hands with each other again, Chen Feng did not let Karina go immediately, but said to her with a smile: "Karina, we currently have only one employee in Huateng Company, and I will interview a few candidates for human resources director and financial director with you later, I hope you can give me advice, how about it?" β
Seeing the new boss speak, Karina of course had no problem, and immediately nodded and agreed.
As a result, Chen Feng asked Mai Xiangdong to call several candidates for human resources director and financial director that he had already favored. Three Hong Kongers. An American. They had been notified and were already waiting downstairs at the hotel.
The job of interviewing these four people was mainly done by Karina. And Chen Feng just listened. The first to come up was an American named Smith, 46 years old, who is now working as a financial adviser in an intermediary financial institution in Hong Kong and has settled in Hong Kong. He has a certain reputation in the industry, and he is already a very successful person in society, and if it were not for the annual salary of $1 million and the position of financial director of a large investment group, he would never have come. The interview process was very smooth, Karina asked some more professional* questions, he could answer them fluently, and the overall performance was very good, but he had one thing that Chen Feng vetoed him, that is, as soon as this guy came in, he stared at Karina for a long time, and when he was interviewing, his eyes were not honest, and he glanced at Karina's chest from time to time, and after the interview, he thought he was personable and sent Karina an invitation to dinner together, After being politely rejected by Karina, she didn't care, and cheekily gave her her her own gold-studded business card. This old guy is a typical person who is not old-hearted, and according to the information that Chen Feng has, he already has a wife, and he is a Hong Kong woman who is several years younger than him. Therefore, for this employee who has bad intentions for his future female boss, although Chen Feng also thinks that he has a lot of professional knowledge, he still directly vetoes his plan to be the financial director of his company.
The next three people who came in were all Hong Kongers, two men and one woman, first of all, a thirty-five-year-old man who also looked like a successful person in society, and he was also fascinated by Karina, the interviewer, although he covered it up very well, and did not show the Yankee just now, but he still couldn't escape the eyes of Chen Feng, a bystander. Chen Feng immediately sent him into the cold palace as usual.
The two candidates for the interview were directly passed, which was also the main reason why Chen Feng asked Karina to be the interviewer in the first place. If Karina, the future female CEO, is faced with the pursuit and harassment of her subordinates, of course, it is extremely unfavorable to the management of the company.
The last man, named Ouyang Hua, 37 years old, used to be the CEO of a listed company, but after the Asian financial crisis, the company unfortunately collapsed, and has been serving as the manager of the personnel department of a group company in Hong Kong. Experience in human resource management.
As soon as he came in, although he was also surprised by Karina's beauty as an interviewer, he was only surprised, and he didn't have much infatuation, and quickly calmed down.
After that, Karina questioned him and asked him directly about the real reason for the collapse of his company, which was tantamount to revealing the scars. Ouyang Hua didn't see any anger on the surface, but explained all the reasons for the collapse of his company back then. He did not blame the main reason on international speculators such as Soros, but on his own general manager's inability to manage the company, especially the company's financial expenses and management expenses were too high, and he did not find out in time, so that as soon as the crisis came, the stock price fell, and the company immediately became insolvent. Falling apart.
His self-critical attitude is very sincere, especially when interviewing, and he can openly reveal his shortcomings, which can be said to be very unusual among most interviewees, because the vast majority of interviewers express to the interviewer how good they are, not how bad they are. However, Ouyang Chong did the opposite. And he only showed the interviewer that he was still deficient in business management, but he was very good in personnel management, so the comparison between the two is obviously very convincing, and the information provided by the headhunter shows that what he said about personnel management is really effective. Several department managers who came out of his company at the beginning have now made certain achievements in related fields, and the backbone personnel of several departments in the group company where he is now working are recruited by one hand. This shows that his vision of recognizing people and selecting talents is still very good.
After a short interview of ten minutes, Chen Feng also decided to hire him directly, because his intuition told him that Ouyang Hua was also a talent and worthy of being recruited by himself.
"Congratulations, Mr. Ouyang, you have now been admitted to our Huateng Company." Chen Feng stood up and stretched out his hand to him.
Ouyang Hua looked at Chen Feng in surprise, and then looked at Karina. But out of politeness. He also reacted quickly, standing up and taking a few steps forward. Shook Chen Feng's hand.
Karina smiled at him playfully and explained, "This is Mr. Chen Feng, and he is our boss. β
"Ahh Although Ouyang Hua had vaguely guessed this possibility in his heart, he couldn't help but be surprised when it was confirmed all of a sudden. He looked at Mai Xiangdong, the head of the top ten masters in Hong Kong, and saw that he was also nodding with a smile, which was undoubtedly convinced.
Ouyang Hua hurriedly complimented: "Fortunately!" Fortunately! I really didn't expect my future boss to be so young, just like we have a saying in China, 'heroes have come out of teenagers since ancient times', I think boss, you can set up such a large investment company at a young age, and you are a young hero yourself. β
Chen Feng smiled lightly, this Ouyang Chong looks honest, but he is also tactful in dealing with people, he is really a talent.
"Mr. Ouyang, if you have no opinion, I hope you resign from your current job within a week and take up the position of human resources director in our Huateng International Holding Investment Group, with a probationary period of one year and an annual salary of 500,000 US dollars, and after passing the probationary period, the annual salary will be raised to 1 million US dollars, and if the table is particularly excellent, we will allocate you shares in the company."
Ouyang Hua was overjoyed when he heard this, 500,000 US dollars, converted into Hong Kong dollars, is nearly 4 million, and he is now the manager of the personnel department, tired and tired, and his annual salary is less than 1 million Hong Kong dollars. And after becoming a regular, it is to double the salary, and it is possible to get shares in the company, if you don't want such a job, then he is crazy and stupid.
"No opinion, no opinion at all. I can report to the company within five days. Although Ouyang Hua tried his best to hide his excitement, the smile on his face betrayed him.
Chen Feng let go of his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, if you have no opinion, report it within five days." Now I would like you to join us in interviewing the last CFO candidate, this time as the interviewer. β
"Okay, no problem." Ouyang Hua said confidently and sat on Chen Feng's side.
The last one to come in was the only female * among the four, named Lu Yunfang, about 1.6 meters tall, dignified appearance, elegant temperament, like Karina, she also coiled her hair behind her head, wore gold-rimmed glasses, and her complexion was fair, if you look at it, it is hard to believe that she is forty years old. At most, he is thirty-five or sixteen years old. She graduated from the University of Hong Kong with a degree in International Accounting, and then obtained a master's degree in economics from the University of Hong Kong, and has worked for 18 years, including six and five years as a financial manager for two medium-sized companies in Hong Kong, three years as the deputy financial director of a large group company in Hong Kong, and now she is the financial director of Kingsway Venture Capital Group, a well-known group company in Hong Kong, and has been working for four years.
The company and work she is currently engaged in can be said to be about the Huateng Investment Company that she is about to establish. It is very appropriate and suitable, and Chen Feng has basically finalized her as the candidate for the financial director of his company. But her current annual salary is as high as 3 million Hong Kong dollars, and there are a lot of dividends at the end of the year, if she is hired according to an annual salary of 500,000 US dollars, it should obviously not be too attractive to her, if she is directly given an annual salary of 1 million US dollars, it is almost the same, however, this is obviously a little unfair to Karina and Ouyang Chong. And Chen Feng doesn't want to officially hire all three of them now, so he can only try it first.
Ouyang Chong, as the interviewer, immediately took out his usual 12-point skills, and asked Lu Yunfang a few professional* strong questions, and Lu Yunfang often gave a satisfactory answer after a short period of thought, which made Karina also nod and admire. And in order to show his ability, Ouyang Chong asked her a few tricky questions in the industry. Lv Yunfang is obviously also prepared, and immediately gave several sets of feasible plans, as for which set of plans is the most suitable, it can only be adapted to the time and local conditions, and all the leadership of the company must vote collectively.
Almost twenty minutes later. Seeing that Ouyang Hua was going to continue to ask questions, Chen Feng had to interrupt him, and directly stood up and stretched out his hand to Lu Yunfang and said: "Your answer is very exciting, congratulations, our Huateng Company has decided to hire you as the financial director, with a probationary period of one year, and an annual salary of 500,000 US dollars, and after one year, if you are qualified, the annual salary will be increased to 1 million US dollars." It will also give you a certain amount of shares depending on your specific table. If you are satisfied, you can report to our company within one week. β
Lu Yunfang's appearance is the same as Ouyang Hua before. He looked at Chen Feng in surprise, but out of politeness, he still stepped forward and shook hands with Chen Feng.
Mai Xiangdong saw her doubts and introduced to her beside her: "Ms. Lu, this is Mr. Chen Feng, the chairman of the soon-to-be-established Huateng Investment Group. β
Lu Yunfang obviously knew Mai Xiangdong's big picture, although his face was still surprised, but he was also sure of his words.
Chen Feng reminded: "Ms. Lu, do you have any questions about what I just said? If there is no doubt, we will sign the employment contract now. β
Lu Yunfang thought about it slightly, nodded and agreed: "There is no problem." β
Chen Feng's heart was relieved, but he still asked with curiosity and doubt: "Ms. Lu, if what I know is true, the company you are in now, your annual salary is 3 million Hong Kong dollars, and there is a lot of dividends at the end of the year, I believe it is similar to the treatment I give you now, can you tell me why you left your original company?" β
Lu Yunfang couldn't help but be slightly stunned, a look of embarrassment appeared on her face, and said, "This ...... When it comes to my personal privacy, can I not answer? β
Chen Feng looked at her fixedly for a while, and saw that her face was a little embarrassed, and he couldn't help but guess a few points in his heart, so he smiled: "Okay, since you don't want to answer, forget it." However, I hope that you will have a clear relationship with your current employer before you come to our company. β
Lu Yunfang glanced at Chen Feng gratefully and nodded: "I will." Rest assured. β
"Well, that's good. Now both of you will look at the employment contract, if there is no problem, sign it now, and report to the company within seven days. β
Chen Feng motioned to Mai Xiangdong to hand the contract to Ouyang Hua and Lu Yunfang, and neither of them signed it in a hurry, but after reading it carefully, he consulted Mai Xiangdong about the relevant regulations, and then signed their names.
In contrast to Karina, both of them are Hong Kongers with families and children, while Karina has dual French and American citizenship, and is not married, let alone children. This made Chen Feng feel relieved and a little uneasy. What is reassuring is that she is "unconcerned" and can concentrate on work three, but what is not worrying is that she is not burdened by her family, and she will not be stable enough at work.
Of course, Chen Feng will not let her take risks in a short period of time, as long as she waits for the US stock market bubble to break the exception, she will act according to her orders.
Chen Feng said to the three employees of his company in a boss's style: "Okay, I'm glad that you can join Huateng, and I believe that you will be glad about your decision today." In order to celebrate, I suggested that we have lunch together, and I guess you all didn't have lunch. β
"Of course, that's fine, but we're disrespectful."
Karina was the first to agree in Chinese, very fluent. And Ouyang Hua and Lu Yunfang did not object. Then Chen Feng introduced his father and Hongye to the two of them, and the group went to the restaurant downstairs to eat together. Mai Xiangdong also went downstairs together at the invitation of Chen Feng.
After eating this sumptuous lunch, Karina and the three said goodbye to Chen Feng and the others one by one.
In order to save time, of course, it is best to buy a shell company in Hong Kong that has not yet started operation and has no debts, and then change its name, it will not take a few days. In addition, Chen Feng also asked him to help rent a one-story office building in the International Financial Center Building in Central as the office space of the company's headquarters. He has done these two main things, and the follow-up will of course be the work of Karina and the three.
Everyone sees that I work so hard every day, give me a monthly pass!! Ask for a commuter pass!!
