Chapter 229 Pretending to Fail
Originally Luo Yang thought he could stay in school for a while.
As a result, I was busy all the time.
First, Teng Huatao contacted him and asked him if he was interested in the script adapted from "Love Is Not Blind" and whether he was willing to invest.
Only a fool would refuse.
Luo Yang immediately met and talked with Teng Huatao in Shanghai.
Both sides had a very pleasant conversation.
Finally, it was agreed that Teng Huatao would first negotiate the film and television adaptation rights for the novel, and the specific shooting time would be around March or April 2011.
As for the investment, it was agreed that Luo Yang would provide at least 500 million yuan in funds.
With this preliminary result, the establishment of a subsidiary of Hengdian Oriental Film and Television Entertainment Company became inevitable.
Fortunately, Luo Yang had already reached an agreement with Liu Haishan and Cai Fujun before, and Hengdian Oriental Film and Television Entertainment Company would only hold 10% of the shares of the newly established investment company, and the remaining 90% would be controlled by Luo Yang personally.
So an investment company named Magic Cube Media was quietly established, with its registered address in Chedun, Songjiang, the Magic City.
This matter has not been completed yet, and Naxue has become busy again.
After the 5000 million yuan in funds arrived, the expansion of the headquarters in Minhang began immediately.
Wu Wenyue was promoted and received a raise, and her work enthusiasm doubled.
She efficiently rented the remaining vacant space on the 15th floor of the office building, increasing the headquarters office area of Nayuki Tea Company to more than square meters.
The human resources department was not to be outdone. Once they had money in hand, they immediately started recruiting people.
The first thing is to hire more people in HR, otherwise there will be no way to take on the subsequent series of busy tasks.
After she had the people, she started recruiting marketing operations personnel. In just over a week, she recruited more than a dozen people for this department alone, from operations directors to grassroots employees.
In addition, the top priority is recruiting store clerks.
The staff for these newly expanded stores need to be localized, so Guo Xiaoya is very busy.
Whenever the marketing operations department decided on a store location and handed it over to Luo Yang for confirmation, she would take people to the local area to recruit.
The recruitment of these shop assistants has not yet ended. They also need to be brought to Shanghai for training.
Another thing is the establishment of the board of directors' office.
Regardless of whether Naixue goes public in the future, it will definitely be a company with annual sales of billions. As the chairman of this company, Luo Yang did not even have a secretary before, but it is unacceptable now.
HR had an important task during this period, which was to find a good assistant for Luo Yang.
Moreover, according to the requirements of other shareholders, this assistant must not only have the ability, but also have good temperament and appearance.
Therefore, it is easy to find an administrative secretary, but difficult to hire a full-time secretary.
On the Wednesday of the first week in early November, there were relatively few professional courses in management and finance, so Luo Yang specially took this day to come to the company to handle affairs.
"Chairman, the Marketing Operations Department has preliminarily determined the locations for six C-level stores. We need your review and confirmation."
As soon as he entered his new office, his secretary Feng Yuan followed him in: "Also, the October payroll has been completed and you need to sign and confirm. Also, Director Guo has instructed me to let you know when I see you. The general assistant already has a suitable candidate and is available for an interview at any time."
Feng Yuan is 166cm tall and has a pretty face. She is a recent graduate of the secretarial major of East China Normal University.
The reason why she was recruited into the company with only internship experience was because Guo Xiaoya was a senior student.
The office ecosystem has always existed.
Luo Yang didn't bother to care about these things, because they all depended on him for survival. As long as he maintained his shark's predatory nature, he would not be afraid of rebellion from his subordinates.
"Ask Director Guo to arrange the interview at 10:30."
Luo Yang looked at his watch and left a little over an hour longer for the interview. After all, Shanghai is so big and it would take time for job seekers to get here.
After saying that, he took the document and started reading it.
Feng Yuan made a cup of green tea for Luo Yang and then left the office.
Luo Yang first picked up the payroll prepared by the finance department. When he saw that his name was ranked first and he received a monthly salary of 3 yuan, he did not know whether to laugh or cry.
The salary of a company chairman is less than that of his part-time job.
He also knew that it was just a token of his appreciation.
After signing the agreement, Luo Yang carefully looked through the locations of the six C-level stores.
The locations for the A- and B-level stores have already been decided, and even more than half of them are already under renovation.
Because these are all easy to determine. For example, in Jinling, where else can a Class A store be placed besides Xinjiekou?
The difference lies in where it is located in Xinjiekou and whether there are any suitable vacant shops available for rent in that area recently.
The location selection for a C-level store is a test of the capabilities and experience of the marketing operations department.
Especially in prefecture-level cities, there are often more than one secondary commercial centers, but the capabilities of these secondary commercial centers are often different. Some places are inherently not suitable for the survival of catering stores, while others seem unsuitable, but have unexpectedly good business.
The operations director recruited through a headhunting company is quite smart.
One of the important criteria in his inspection was the first Starbucks store to open in the city.
It must be one of the earliest batches.
Because there are so many Starbucks opened later, it feels like they are everywhere in the streets and alleys.
The first stores to be opened must have been carefully selected, after rigorous market research, and directly targeted young and fashionable customers.
It can be regarded as Naxue’s guiding light.
This is experience, and this is where the value of this marketing operations director lies.
Even so, Luo Yang read it very carefully, including the business investigation report following the site selection opinion.
After finally confirming that there were no problems, he signed his opinion and name at the back.
A little after ten o'clock, Feng Yuan knocked on the door and came in, followed by the Human Resources Director Guo Xiaoya.
"Chairman, the interviewee has arrived early, please see." "Well, I have just finished the work on hand, please send someone over."
After Luo Yang finished explaining to Guo Xiaoya, he handed the signed document on the desk to Feng Yuan.
At the same time, he said, "Go ask the administration to write an application report to purchase two company cars. One will be placed in the administration for public use by various departments, and one will be placed in the board of directors' office!"
Originally, Luo Yang only wanted to raise 3000 million yuan in start-up funds, but Liu Haishan and his colleagues, together with Luo Yang, raised 5000 million yuan, leaving the company with sufficient funds in its account.
We are not short of money now, and we will have even less shortage of money in the future. We can buy a few more cars, and in the future we can include them in the company's fixed assets for depreciation. No matter how we calculate it, we will not suffer a loss.
"Director Xu suggested buying you a better car before."
Feng Yuan was of course happy to hear that the board's office also had a special car reserved, so she said something more.
"I have a Mercedes now, so I'll just drive it for now."
Luo Yang smiled and said, "When we make some money next year, we'll buy a better car in the name of the company."
It can be predicted that when the settlement is made before the end of next year, Nayuki Tea’s net profit will be very high.
By then, the company will definitely expand its investment, or purchase fixed assets for depreciation, and through this model it will reduce part of its profits and reasonably avoid taxes.
After Feng Yuan took the documents, she turned around and left with a smile on her face and brisk steps.
When I reached the door, Guo Xiaoya just walked in with her group.
Feng Yuan paused noticeably.
A voice came out of my heart: How beautiful!
"Chairman, your assistant for the interview is here."
In the university town, Luo Yang was used to seeing beautiful women, not to mention that Jiang Fan and Jiang Wen were both top-notch.
The moment he saw An Ying, he couldn't help but have his eyes light up.
He has fair skin, is about meters tall, has long legs and wears wide-leg straight pants, and a small suit over a chiffon shirt.
A pair of black-framed glasses covered her small, unsmiling face, hiding much of her beauty.
Gee.
Liu Haishan and his gang are a bunch of old foxes. Do they really intend to use this to test the cadres?
Luo Yang thought it was a good touchstone.
"An Ying, this is Luo Yang, the chairman of our Nayuki Tea."
After arriving at the desk, Guo Xiaoya first introduced Luo Yang's identity and then handed over An Ying's resume.
In fact, this was a mistake in human resources work. Normally, they should have given their resume to Luo Yang before An Ying came for the interview.
Fortunately, Luo Yang didn't bother with these things.
"Sit down, let me take a look at your resume first."
Luo Yang asked An Ying to sit down first, and then turned his eyes to her resume.
An Ying, 25 years old, from Shandong Province, graduated from the Chinese Department of Fudan University with a postgraduate degree (Note: double bachelor's degree in language and literature, business administration).
As for student union resume and scholarships, you can ignore them.
The most important thing is that she has no work experience.
Belong to recent graduates.
Unfortunately, Guo Xiaoya had already left the office, and Luo Yang had no idea why they hired such a person with no work experience for an interview.
Is it really that they only look at academic qualifications and looks?
It took him about a minute to finish reading it, and Luo Yang looked up with some doubt.
"You don't seem to have any experience as a president's assistant?"
“I have no social work experience.”
An Ying did not look flustered, and responded to Luo Yang frankly, "But when I was in school, I worked as an assistant to the leadership of the Student Affairs Department for a period of time."
Huh.
Luo Yang picked up the resume again and looked at the content he had missed.
The Department of Student Affairs is not a student organization, but a department in the university that is specifically responsible for guiding students' ideological work.
What is Fudan’s administrative level?
According to this calculation, An Ying has been an assistant to a county-level leader?
He underestimated her.
Luo Yang was not embarrassed, he nodded and said: "I didn't pay attention to it, because I have formed a fixed mindset and don't pay much attention to the resumes of college students in the student union."
This question is difficult to answer. Can an applicant argue with the company boss about right or wrong?
An Ying could only force out a smile.
"If you have this experience, I believe you will have no problem with work experience."
Luo Yang continued, "I won't paint you a picture of a career plan. Let's be direct. What is your salary requirement?"
"The monthly salary published in the company's recruitment brochure is 25K-30K."
An Ying replied to Luo Yang in seconds: "It also includes food, transportation, accommodation subsidies, business trip subsidies, and a bonus of no less than 2 months at the end of the year."
Wow, after adding them all up, the salary is higher than the 3 monthly salary of the chairman.
“Well, the transportation subsidy is gone.”
Luo Yang said calmly: "The director's office has provided a car."
An Ying was stunned for a moment.
“I don’t have a driver’s license!”
Luo Yang: “.”
Met a natural fool and failed to show off.
There is an Easter egg stamp of An Ying on the back.
Don't misunderstand, she's just an assistant. No matter how pretty she is, she's still just an assistant. The protagonist is so jealous, hahahaha
Just a joke. The author actually wanted to describe a very capable but naive character. I wonder if he will be able to create this character successfully.
There will be another chapter later.
