Chapter 346: The French Are Trouble (4000 Words)
"Boss, there's news from the headhunter. Rosemary knocked on the door and said to Chen Geng excitedly.
"Headhunter ......" Chen Geng thought for a while, and then was overjoyed: "You mean that we entrusted the headhunting company to help us find the person in charge of the commercial real estate project, and now there is news?"
"Yes, it's a vice president of SAE in France, and I'm about to leave SAE, and the headhunter asked if we were interested in this guy......" Rosemary nodded happily: "I'm finally able to relax, I haven't slept well during this time." β
Yes, Chen Geng knows very well that he and Rosemary are almost laymen in commercial real estate, and during the early operation of this project, he and Rosemary can still top it in front, but once they enter the formal operation link, without the assistance of high-end senior practitioners in the real commercial real estate industry, they have no other way to go except to lose pants on this project. Therefore, at the beginning of the official decision to do this project, Chen Geng has been entrusting a large headhunting company in the United States to help him find a suitable person in charge of the commercial real estate project - as for the person in charge of the operation of commercial real estate, this is not in a hurry, you can find it slowly.
But this kind of senior professional manager in the industry is very difficult to find, nearly two months, and now there is finally news, Chen Geng is very happy about this, and Rosemary is also very happy.
"SAE Construction & Engineering in France?"
Chen Geng knows that this company is the world's top construction company, and they can be seen in many large buildings in Europe, and a vice president with more than 30 years of work experience in SAE is undoubtedly the best candidate for the head of commercial real estate projects in Fernandez at present. But now, he is a little curious about the reason why this guy is leaving SAE: "Did the headhunter say that this vice president left SAE for what reason, and what is this guy's ability and reputation in the industry?"
"In terms of word-of-mouth, according to the headhunter, this guy has a very good reputation in the industry, and his work experience is also quite rich, and he has worked in SAE for more than 30 years. β
"The old and the new?" Chen Geng raised his eyebrows.
"The old chairman of SAE has retired, and now the new chairman is the youngest son of the old chairman, who is said to be less than forty years old, so ......" Rosemary shrugged: "You know ......"
"The new lion king is on the throne, in order to be able to firmly control the company, he has to build his own team, so he must remove the influence of the old lion king?
This kind of thing is very easy to understand, and it can even be said that it is not uncommon, and it can only be said that the subordinates of the old lion king are unlucky, although they have not actually done anything wrong, but who made them the people of the old lion king, even if they are loyal to the new lion king, it is difficult to win the trust of the new lion king.
"That's what the headhunter said. β
Chen Geng nodded: "Do you have a resume, give me a copy." β
"Yes. Rosemary said, handing over a copy of the resume of the vice president of SAE to Chen Geng, faxed by the headhunting firm: "I have seen that this guy's ability is very good, especially in engineering supervision, which can be said to be second to none, and he has served as a supervisor in many large-scale projects in Europe." β
Really.
Judging from the resume alone, this guy named Michelle Deburley has a very bright resume, so glamorous that he even participated in the renovation of the Alfi Tower, and from this point of view, this guy's ability is enough to meet the needs of the Irnandez company.
Do you think headhunters are worried about giving this guy's information to Fernandez, causing FernΓ‘ndez to bypass themselves and directly contact their target candidates?
There is no need to worry about that.
Fernandez can indeed do this, but in fact no company will do this, if Fernandez does this, it will immediately become the "VIP" of the entire headhunting industry blacklist, and don't want to find the talents you want through headhunting companies in the future, and even affect the company's credit.
So not only Fernandes, but also in Europe and the United States, there is hardly a company that chooses to bypass the headhunter and directly contact the target because of such a small intermediary fee, unless you don't ask the headhunter for help in the first place.
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Geng spoke: "But judging from his resume, this guy's ability is indeed no problem, and he is not enough to be lazy and troublesome to the French, and he is also notoriously ......."
He was a little sore about the mess of the French, and if possible, he really didn't want to find a French real estate project manager...... You can't find it from the United States, even if it's a German or a Swede.
Rosemary understands her boss's concerns, but the reality is very helpless: "The French are really troublesome, but for the time being, there is really no suitable one. β
"That's it, let's take a look first," After some contemplation, Chen Geng finally spoke, he rubbed his eyebrows lightly: "You first contact the headhunter company, let this Michel Debury come to Huaxia to meet with us, we will interview him, if this guy can't do it, let's find a way." β
French?
Headache.
As soon as he heard that he was French, Chen Geng first put a hat called "trouble" and "trouble" on this guy named Michel de Burley.
........................
Facts have proved that Chen Geng's hat is really not wrong, and the French really live up to the reputation of "trouble" and "force": the headhunter did not send Chen Geng the specific flight time of Michel Debury, but sent Michel Debury's request......
Michel Deburley said that he could go to Huaxia to meet with you, but regardless of whether the cooperation was successful or not, the cost of accommodation, transportation and transportation should be borne by you, and it must be a first-class cabin and a five-star hotel...... If there is no five-star hotel in Huaxia, it is the most luxurious hotel you can find. β
"That's fine, you can promise him. Chen Geng nodded, as the vice president of SAE, this request is not too much, and even if the other party does not mention such conditions, his own side must give such a reception.
Rosemary peeked at Chen Geng, and then said: "The second request made by Mr. Michel Debury is that because he has not officially left SAE now, he hopes that you can go to Paris to meet with him, and if you insist that he come to China, you will have to bear the cost of lost work during this time...... Converted into US dollars, the total is 5,000 US dollars, and it takes about a week to go back and forth. β
"$5,000?" Chen Geng raised his eyebrows: This Michelle Debury is using this way to implicitly express his salary request to himself?
Rosemary nodded: "That's what the fax from the headhunter said...... I don't think headhunters are lying, and they can't get the money. β
"Yes," Chen Geng thought for a moment and nodded: "Promise him." β
"Promise him?" Rosemary was a little surprised.
"Promise him," Chen Geng nodded affirmatively: "The weekly salary is 5,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to a monthly salary of 20,000 US dollars, and the annual salary is almost 300,000 US dollars. β
The annual salary of 300,000 US dollars is an absolute high salary in this era, but it is still the same sentence, considering that Mr. Michel Debury is coming to China to work, in the eyes of the West, this requires a huge risk, so this salary requirement is a little high, but it is not too much - in a few years, those European workers who come to work in China will be subsidized two or three times their salary when they work in their homeland, but even so, European and American workers who are willing to come to China for long-term business trips, There aren't many engineers, so from this point of view, this salary requirement is not excessive.
Rosemary glanced up at her boss: "I hope you can keep this composure in the future......
"The third request made by Mr. Michel Debury is that if he comes to work for our company, the company will provide him with at least two months of paid vacation per year and no less than six months per year in Europe......"
"Wait a minute!" Hearing this request, Chen Geng was a little unhappy: "Two months of paid vacation every year, and the time to work in Europe is not less than six months...... Doesn't that mean that he spends less than four months in Huaxia every year?"
Rosemary glanced at the document and nodded, "That's what it says." β
Chen Geng had an urge to scold his mother: "I paid him such a high annual salary just to let him stay in Huaxia for four months a year?
"I'm not sure if you've found an uncle, but this Mr. Michel de Breece clearly thinks of himself as an uncle. "It's rare, Rosemary made a joke with Chen Geng.
Seeing that her boss's face was not very good-looking, Rosemary gently talked about the documents in her hand: "There are still a few requirements below, do you still want to hear them?"
"One is more than the other?" asked Chen Geng.
"One is more than the other. Rosemary gave Chen Geng an affirmative nod.
It's very excessive, such as reimbursing him for the cost of family travel.
"Then let him get out!" Chen Geng said unceremoniously: "Who does this guy think he is?!!Is the sun the sun not turning without him?"
βOKγ β
Rosemary nodded, when she saw these requests, she had actually sentenced this Mr. Michel de Berry to death in her heart: The boss's life is not so happy, what do you think of these demands?
The anger in Chen Geng's heart did not disappear, and he said angrily to Rosemary: "In addition, tell the headhunting company that if you make such a mess in the future, we will cooperate with another headhunting company...... Ask them what this is about us?!"
Chen Geng was really angry, he had long known that the French were unreliable, what was the reason for him to have the idea that "maybe you can try" that should never appear?
Gotta slap yourself twice to calm down.
"OK, OK, boss, there's no need to be angry about this kind of thing, you know, the French are like that, to put it mildly, it's actually about being casual and pursuing self-enjoyment," Rosemary hurriedly reassured his boss: "Well, this guy can't be used, but what should we do next?"
Now is indeed not the time to be angry, but it is not necessarily so angry to be angry, and the stinky virtues of the French are not clear to themselves, but they have only dispelled the luck in their hearts. Chen Geng thought for a while and asked Rosemary, "What do you think about poaching people from the university?"
"Poaching people from the university?" Rosemary was stunned for a moment, "Is this possible?"
"Although MIT's computer technology is recognized as strong, their strongest major is actually architecture and art design, architectural design is recognized as the world's first, art design is the world's second, these two majors are even more powerful than Haval;
Founded in 1841, the Bartlett School of Architecture, University of London, is one of the most prestigious schools of architecture at the University of London and one of the first architecture schools in the UK.
Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands is known as the 'Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Europe', and the level of the School of Architecture is recognized by the world to rank third in the world. The University of London puts the Wright School of Architecture or the Delft University of Technology School of Architecture, they have produced countless world-class architectural design masters, and any company related to architecture and real estate in the world is proud to be able to hire students who have graduated from these colleges to work in their own companies, and the professors of the architecture schools of these universities have worked as consultants in many famous construction companies, and even are shareholders of the company......
Speaking of this, Chen Geng sighed: "I'm not worried about their ability, what I'm worried about is whether our company's attractiveness can impress these top talents in the industry." β
β......β
Rosemary was dumbfounded: "How much work have you done these days?"
"No way, I was originally going to find someone to settle down, but now it seems to be a bit of trouble. Chen Geng said depressedly.
Rosemary suddenly had a flash of inspiration in her mind: "Boss, if we send this project to the architecture schools or architecture departments of these universities, you say, can this project attract and impress them? I remember you said that this is the world's first 'urban complex', and you are also the first person to propose the concept of 'urban complex' as a commercial building, so it should still be able to attract some people, right?"
Well?
Chen Geng was stunned for a moment, and then rejoiced: "Yes, why didn't I think of it?!"
