Andrew sighed and said leisurely: "At that time, I didn't see any good development prospects for Hongfei's AI Division. ”

"Why do you say that?"

"My friend invited me to the company, showed me around, gave me a detailed introduction to the company, and introduced me to your general manager Li, and I also drank tea and chatted twice in his office. ”

Xu Xincheng was a little surprised, it turned out that Andrew had been to their company a year and a half ago, and he also met General Manager Li. The time Andrew was talking about should have been before he became General Manager Li's secretary.

Andrew continued, "General Manager Li appreciated me and invited me to join the company, and after some careful consideration, I politely declined his offer. ”

Xu Xincheng once again cast an inquiring glance at him.

"At that time, I felt that the company's structure was too small, to put it bluntly, General Manager Li's pattern was too small, and he did not have the courage and grand goal to compete for the first place in China's AI market. This is where I was really disappointed. It is not terrible for the company to start late, and it is not terrible to fall behind temporarily compared with the four major AI companies, and the most terrible thing is that it does not have the courage and goal to compete for the first place. ”

Xu Xincheng couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.

Andrew hurriedly continued: "I'm sorry, I'm more direct in my speech, what do I say." ”

"It's fine. What you say is the truth, the previous situation of Hongfei AI Division is indeed as you said. "Although the previous Hongfei AI Division is known to be ranked fifth, the gap between it and the four major AI companies is actually very large. There are many reasons behind this, and the small pattern of the company is indeed one of the most important reasons, General Manager Li as the general manager of the company, his personal pattern determines the pattern of the whole company to a large extent.

General Manager Li is a very good general, but not a handsome talent, he is a very good professional manager, but not an entrepreneur with great ambitions. However, Xu Xincheng does not want to dwell on the past, he sees the present and the future.

Xu Xincheng hurriedly continued: "However, that has passed, and today's Sino-US Xinfei Company is not the former Hongfei AI Division. We should look to the present and to the future. ”

"Yes, you're right. ”

"And what about later?" Xu Xincheng wanted to get to know Andrew better, and from a person's story, and from the words and looks he said when he explained his own story, he could get to know him better.

"Later, Hongfei AI Division and I did not follow. I applied for a job at New World Capital and was successfully hired. ”

"What about the friend you just said works in Hongfei's AI Division?" Xu Xincheng asked, and then added, "If it's convenient to inform." ”

Andrew's eyes flickered slightly, as if he hesitated, but his gaze quickly became firm and said, "You know this man, his surname is Qian." ”

"Assistant Qian?" Of course he knew Assistant Qian, he worked under Assistant Qian for a year and a half, three months ago, Assistant Qian jumped to Kirin Company, and in the second month after he left, Xu Xincheng took over his position.

"Yes. When I was a child, we were neighbors in the same building, he was three years older than me, we both liked to play chess, and we became good friends when we played, and we went to the same middle school, so he was both my friend and my brother. ”

Xu Xincheng couldn't help but be surprised: "Ah! What a coincidence!"

"Over the years, we have kept in touch and are good friends. When he knew that I wanted to go back to Guangzhou to find a job and wanted to find a job in an AI company, he recommended me to General Manager Li, but unfortunately ......"

"It's a pity. Xu Xincheng's face was full of regret, and then he said: "It's a pity for Assistant Qian, if he can hold on for a while, as long as he lasts for another month or two." ”

Xu Xincheng's regret is sincere, he still has a very good impression of Assistant Qian, in his work, especially in the first three months when he just became the general manager's secretary, Assistant Qian has given him a lot of guidance and support. Later, his influence in the staff team became stronger and stronger, and he had the momentum to catch up with Assistant Qian, but even then, Assistant Qian never suppressed him and did not feel sorry for him. Later, he learned that it turned out that Assistant Qian had already planned to change jobs, which was also the reason why he didn't put all his mind on work, of course, it is estimated that this is also an important reason why Assistant Qian did not suppress him and did not embarrass him.

Andrew said with regret: "Yes, in fact, Senior Brother Qian is a very enterprising person, seeing that Hongfei's AI business unit will not have much development, and he is not young, he must make progress in his career, so he chose to change jobs, resolutely left Guangzhou, went to Shanghai, and chose to join the Kirin AI Division, one of the four major AI companies. ”

"It's a pity, but for the sake of your own ideals and ambitions, it's okay. In fact, in the past two years, Hongfei AI Division has lost a lot of elite talents like him, which has to be said to be a very regrettable thing. Xu Xincheng paused, changed his tone, and asked, "By the way, what is his position in Kirin Company? Everything is okay with him? Since he left, we have not been in touch. ”

"His position is still assistant to the general manager, but his salary level has increased a lot, according to him, about 2.5 times the original. ”

Xu Xincheng nodded subconsciously, he now understands that Kirin Company is really wealthy, and it is 2.5 times the salary as soon as he makes a move, no wonder Assistant Qian is tempted, no wonder he is willing to leave his hometown and go to Shanghai.

"I called him once two weeks ago and asked him how he felt about the current situation, and he said he actually regretted it. Guangzhou is his hometown, and no matter how good Shanghai is, it can't be compared with his hometown. If he had known today, he would not have left Hongfei AI Division. Andrew smiled bitterly before he continued: "However, he also said, who would have expected such a thing! Before the incident, no one could have imagined that Hongfei AI Division would be favored by New World Capital." Therefore, he can only admit it. ”

Andrew paused again, leaned forward slightly, lowered his voice, and said a little mysteriously, "By the way, I called him again a few days ago to find out some news." According to him, the CEOs and senior executives of their company were very surprised and shocked by the cooperation between New World Capital and Hongfei, and they attached great importance to the cooperation between New World Capital and Hongfei, and they had already held three emergency meetings to discuss countermeasures. ”

Xu Xincheng was quite interested in this news, and hurriedly asked, "What countermeasures are discussed?"
