Zhou Ting, Chief Financial Officer of 551
After the Yang father and son left, Lin Haocang looked at the time, it was already 8:20 in the evening, so he planned to leave the Sky Capital Center and go buy a few clothes, but when he just got out of the elevator, he suddenly remembered that He Shiyun said that there was an interviewer who came to apply for the CFO of Sky Capital tonight.
For this reason, He Shiyun went to Jiangdao International Airport to pick up people, and now it's 8:20, so he should have picked up people.
Immediately, Lin Haocang returned to the elevator and returned to his office.
At this time, his mobile phone vibrated a little, and it was Guan Yan who sent a message, "Chairman, I'm off work, do you want to come with me?"
Lin Haocang thought that there was an important interviewer coming tonight, so he replied: "There is still something to do tonight, I want to interview someone, next time!"
Guan Yan replied resentfully: "Okay, I ate so much Kobe beef, if you don't come to help me consume it, alas, I have to run home!"
"By the way, what are you going to interview?"
Lin Haocang replied: "The company's chief financial officer, I heard that he came back from Wall Street!"
The CFO is responsible for finance, accounting, investments, financing, investment relations, and legal. The company's finance department, accounting department, and information service department are all managed by the CFO. In addition to being responsible for the company's public relations with investors, the CFO should ensure that the company has enough cash during the development process, and that there is enough office and production space, and that they can borrow money through banks and raise money in the stock market. In addition, the CFO's own investment affairs and complex legal matters are also managed by the CFO.
The chief financial officer of Sky Capital can be said to be the top priority, and Lin Haocang naturally has to interview in person.
Guan Yan received Lin Haocang's reply, and was immediately stunned, "Chief Financial Officer, tsk, Sky Capital doesn't have a CEO yet, and the chairman is not there, so isn't this CFO the number one person in the company? Oh my God, I still have to report to this CFO!"
In start-up companies, the CFO is the absolute number two due to the criticality, sensitivity and extreme asymmetry of financial data. Moreover, most start-up companies go public, and the CFO is solely responsible for the listing, so the CFO's opportunities to show up, the understanding of the company's long-term development, and the grasp of the company's overall strategy are far beyond other C-level figures. In addition, in many cases, the CFO is directly delegated by the board of directors and has the responsibility to indirectly supervise the CEO and the management team, so the CFO position is absolutely detached.
In mature companies, or listed companies, the financial data is relatively open and clear, and the CFO does not have an absolute monopoly advantage over the company's key information, and other C-level bosses may begin to occupy a more important position from the business side. But even so, the only challenge to the CFO's position is the company's SalesSVP (in a sales-oriented company), or ChiefResearchOfficer (in an R&D company), or ChiefTechnologyOfficer (in a company with a purely technical background). The COO has a lot of power in some companies, and in others it is just a name, which varies completely from company to company. CFOs are of course powerful in any company.
In a financial group company like Sky Capital, if Lin Haocang is no longer a company, then this CFO is NO1!
Guan Yan was still aiming at this position in her heart, but she didn't expect to suddenly parachute in.
"Hmph, what Wall Street is not Wall Street, will my aunt be bad in the future?"
After finishing chatting with Lin Haocang, Guan Yan put the keys in her bag, changed into sneakers in the car, and she really ran home.
And when Lin Haocang just returned to his office, He Shiyun walked in with a beautiful woman and introduced: "Chairman, this is Zhou Ting, who just flew back from the United States..."
Zhou Ting stretched out her hand with a smile and said, "Mr. Lin, hello, it's a pleasure to meet you, you said the same thing as Mr. He, it really shocked me, it's the first time I've grown up and looked at such a young financial tycoon!"
She had just flown from the United States to Jiangdao, and after having dinner with He Shiyun, she came to the Sky Capital Center to meet her future boss, and learned from He Shiyun's mouth that the future boss was very, very young, she still didn't believe it, but after seeing Lin Haocang with her own eyes, her heart was still overturned.
She is a very good, very capable person, and her vision is super high, but in the face of the financial tycoon Lin Haocang in front of her, she has to lose confidence in her heart, and in the face of the super strength that is absolutely crushed, she has to accept it!
"Hello, Miss Zhou, it's a pleasure to meet you" Lin Haocang stretched out his hand and shook hands with Zhou Ting.
Zhou Ting, her appearance is also extremely beautiful, very confident, very temperamental, aura, she is about 30 years old, goose egg face, a woman wearing a red tight skirt, a very good figure, burgundy big wave curly hair, delicate face, the whole person looks very bewitching.
After chatting a few words, we got to the point.
Zhou Ting is an MBA from Harvard University and a former vice president of private banking at Citibank, with nearly 5 years of private banking experience, and her clients are all billionaires with a net worth of more than $500 million.
A very powerful woman, she can be described as a top talent.
And the background is very superior, it is a rich second generation, a young lady, tsk, it really slipped out of the sky.
is fully qualified to be the CFO of Sky Capital, and Lin Haocang also needs such a talent very much.
Lin Haocang asked: "Miss Zhou, why did you suddenly think of leaving Citibank to come to my small company?" Lin Haocang was very curious about why Zhou Ting left Citibank, his own sky capital is actually nothing in the financial world.
Zhou Ting smiled: "Mr. Lin, I left Citibank because of some personal problems, and I chose to come to Sky Capital because of Mr. He."
Lin Haocang saw that Zhou Ting didn't want to reveal her personal reasons, so she didn't want to ask again, but Zhou Ting came to Sky Capital because of He Shiyun?
This is a bit strange, Lin Haocang glanced at He Shiyun curiously, and couldn't see anything unusual.
"Well, Miss Zhou, when can I go to work?" Lin Haocang asked, "I can give you a week to prepare"
Zhou Ting said, "Mr. Lin, I can go to work tomorrow!"
"Well, that's good, the car, the apartment, I'll let someone arrange it for you" Lin Haocang paused and asked, "Do you have any other requirements?"
Zhou Ting smiled: "Thank you, chairman, I haven't thought of anything else for the time being, but I will explain to Mr. He in time when I think of it." ”
Lin Haocang nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. He, you can arrange for Mr. Zhou to familiarize himself with the company tonight!"
"Okay, chairman!" He Shiyun nodded.
