At 9 o'clock in the morning of August 12, Wang Ziyan and Liu Kai, dressed in formal suits, met all the members of the assistant team who came to apply for the assistant team in the conference room on the fourth floor of the hotel.

Liu Kai They only arrived in Huating in the middle of the night last night, and by the way, they also brought a few Xiangjiang people who were going to participate in the interview.

Wang Ziyan arranged them all in the hotel and chartered a whole floor.

No one is late, no one can't pass the border because of visas or other problems, no one dresses casually, everyone is an elite, and if you can't solve this little problem, don't come out and be embarrassed.

Huang Jiaqi served as the interviewer and introduced the interview format and process to everyone.

Wang Ziyan didn't speak, just sat in the corner and quietly watched these people sit down under the arrangement of the hotel waiter, get the written test questions, and quietly think about answering the questions.

Wang Ziyan sat on the side and looked at these people silently, occasionally discussing something in a whisper with Liu Kai and the others.

At 11:45, a lobby manager of the hotel pushed the door in and informed Wang Ziyan that the restaurant had been arranged and that he could go around 12:10.

The whole morning is three hours of written test time, 12 o'clock arrange for everyone to eat together, and rest in the afternoon.

Wang Ziyan nodded, signaling that Huang Jiaqi could end the written test.

No one didn't finish it, no one expressed any objections, and after handing in the written test answer sheet, everyone had a short exchange there.

And from beginning to end, Wang Ziyan has been observing these people and has not made a sound to disturb.

Throughout the afternoon, he had to read through 24 answers, and then initially identify eight candidates, and the rest was to focus on these people in the next two days to finalize the assistant team.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Ziyan, who had read all the answers, had basically decided on the candidate.

The interview in the next two days was uneventful, and no one raised any objections to Wang Ziyan's youth, and no one had any bad thoughts about Wang Ziyan's interview process.

After the interview was completed, Wang Ziyan determined the list of personnel and notified him.

Of course, the rest of the people are not eliminated, but they need a team of assistants to check and see if they can be used in the company's management.

Ji Xingwang, male, 29 years old, Chinese-American, graduated from MIT with MBA and Master of Finance, worked in his own investment fund in country M, returned to China after the failure of his business, and served as a business management consultant in the chairman's office.

Liu Jingshan, male, 31 years old, from mainland China, Master of Laws from Imperial Capital University, Doctor of Laws from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, manager of the legal department of an entertainment company in country M, and legal counsel of the chairman's office.

Yuan Heng, male, 27 years old, from mainland China, has a double master's degree in business administration and accounting from Imperial Capital University, deputy general manager and chief financial officer of a fund company in Xiangjiang, and serves as a financial advisor in the chairman's office.

Feng Daixuan, female, 32 years old, from mainland China, holds a master's degree in journalism and communication from Fudan University, deputy general manager of a large magazine, and serves as an entertainment industry evaluation consultant in the chairman's office.

Wei Wan, female, 25 years old, from mainland China, is studying for a master's degree in architecture from Huaqing University, graduated freshly, and works as a real estate appraisal consultant in the chairman's office.

Tong Rui, female, 24 years old, from mainland China, is currently studying for a master's degree in applied economics from Fudan University, a fresh graduate, and serves as a financial investment consultant in the chairman's office.

Jiang Wende, male, 29 years old, from mainland China, master's degree in computer science and technology from Huaqing University, technical director of a large electronics group, and computer technology consultant in the chairman's office.

The two parties signed the contract in the presence of Cao Kai in the name of the law firm, and the working relationship was hung under Ant International Holdings, and a chairman's office was set up, and these people were assistants to the chairman.

A meeting was scheduled for the afternoon of August 15 in the hotel conference room, and then everyone went back to prepare.

On the morning of August 15, Wang Ziyan met the members of the software company led by Cao Kai in the suite, a total of six people, divided into two small groups.

The name of the software company is Hantang Software, and the company's shares are divided into two parts, with the fund company holding 70% of the shares and the remaining 30% in the hands of the founding team.

The 70% stake owned by the investment firm is currently valued at $1.4 million, and the investment company is asking for $1.6 million, which is slightly overflowing. The founding team is ready to cash out 10% of the shares, and the asking price follows the valuation, $200,000.

In other words, Wang Ziyan would need to pay almost $1.8 million to buy an 80% stake in Hantang Software, and then he would become the de facto owner of the company.

The other party carefully introduced their successful projects in the past two years to Wang Ziyan based on the materials, and the results were very gratifying, but Wang Ziyan knew that they had failed more.

This can be seen from the so-called projects they are currently on display, and there are only two of the dozen or so projects that Wang Ziyan is optimistic about, one is the email project, and the other is a game.

Of course, the team of Hantang Software is still very large, with a total number of about 60 people, more than 45 software engineers of all sizes, and the rest are administrative and sales personnel.

After a detailed discussion, Wang Ziyan had a number in his heart, this company did meet his own requirements, and the hundreds of thousands of fees paid to them were not spent in vain.

The company is worth buying, and there are many projects, but most of them are some gold-swallowing monsters, and he has never heard of any of these ideas in later generations.

In other words, if he is not ready to take over this mess, Hantang Software is very likely to be Game Over in a short period of time.

Of course, this company is not without merit, and the development project of the game made his eyes shine, but the current hardware environment and Internet environment cannot support the games they develop.

So he decided to wait for the company to get his hands on it, change the project, and then go to snipe Villefort in the second half of '98 to release Half-Life.

It's just that at present, there is nothing to talk about between the two sides, it is nothing more than to determine a purchase intention.

As for the next detailed negotiations, Wang Ziyan is ready to hand this over to the assistant team to be responsible, he doesn't understand this, but he now has a team that understands to help him deal with these things, and there is no need to go into battle shirtless in person.

After sending away the people of Hantang Software, Wang Ziyan said to Liu Kai: "Liu Sheng, I need a confidentiality agreement, I need a non-compete agreement, how much can the maximum liquidated damages reach?"

Liu Kai frowned and replied: "At present, the term of the non-compete clause is basically two years, and the compensation is basically 30% of the monthly salary. Liquidated damages are somewhat difficult to define, depending on the valuation of the things to be kept secret. ”

"Hundreds of billions!"

Wang Ziyan was silent for a while, staring at Liu Kai with blazing eyes, and opened his mouth to report a number, which shocked the three of them to be silent for a while.

Liu Kai looked at Wang Ziyan speechlessly, turned his head to look at the facial expressions of Huang Jiaqi and the others, and then asked with some uncertainty: "You're not kidding?"

Wang Ziyan shook his head and said: "My plan is not technically difficult, it is very simple to implement, it is nothing more than most people did not expect it, and these projects will never form a monopoly." But the amount of money and resources I plan to invest in the early stage is expected to exceed $1 billion, and then the company will enter a healthy development track. These projects will form a giant group of companies in the future, the giants of the Internet, the real giants. ”

Liu Kai pondered for a while, and then discussed with the two of them again, and then said solemnly to Wang Ziyan: "Our suggestion to you is to use a billion US dollars as the benchmark valuation, and then 10% liquidated damages. ”

Wang Ziyan pondered for a while before nodding, agreeing to the proposal, and asking the other party to come up with the corresponding confidentiality agreement.

Then Wang Ziyan returned to the room to prepare materials, which were needed for the afternoon meeting with the assistant team.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Ziyan came to the conference room with his notebook and dragged a suitcase, and connected to the projector with the help of the hotel's technical staff.

In Wang Ziyan's opinion, the style of the hotel's projector is too old, and it does not have those remote control functions, but the most primitive projection function, and he feels very uncomfortable.

With the help of the hotel attendant, he stacked eight thick pieces of information in eight positions, and after confirming that everything was correct, he sat in his seat and waited for the time to come.

At 2:20, all the members of the assistant team, under the leadership of Liu Kai and Huang Jiaqi, eleven people walked into the conference room one after another with a bunch of things.

After everyone sat down, Wang Ziyan raised his wrist and looked at his watch, it was 2:25.

He didn't delay any longer, looked around at everyone with a smile, coughed to attract everyone's attention before saying, "Everyone, since everyone is already a colleague, everyone will work together in the future, then I will explain some things to you now." ”

"First of all, I am personally very satisfied with the answers you have given me, and I believe that everyone here is like-minded and able to work together. ”

"Secondly, my identity is more embarrassing, and I am not willing to stand in front of the stage, so the work in front of the stage needs to be handled by you, and I am more likely to play the role of an investor, and you play the role of an executor. ”

"Finally, I am going to put the base camp in Huating, everyone must be mentally prepared. ”

Everyone said that there was no objection, this was known in advance, everyone is a mainlander, and it is actually more convenient to go back to the mainland to work.

Wang Ziyan then said: "Your working relationship is hanging in the office of the chairman of Ant International Holdings, and we have signed a contract yesterday morning, which can be regarded as an official employment. When we interviewed, I made it very clear to you that the annual salary for you is 100,000 yuan. This salary is not low, but it is definitely not high. ”

"During this time, I will first wronged everyone, and after a while, I will buy a few houses in Huating, and when the matter on this side of Xiangjiang is dealt with, we will go to Huating together. Each person has a car and a house, of course, these houses and cars are temporary, and whether you can get them depends on how well you do your work. ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, divided into rooms?

Basically all of you here are mainlanders, everyone knows the way of this kind of thing, people's state-owned enterprises and central enterprises have a big business, and everyone can understand the division of rooms, but you can still be so rich in a private enterprise?

Besides, now some state-owned enterprises and central enterprises have canceled the housing system, and I heard that there will be no room division in the future, is it really good for you to do this?

Even Huang Jiaqi and others were stunned for a while, this person's pen is a little too big, so young, where did he get so much money?

Wang Ziyan also ignored everyone's stunned eyes, and continued: "Of course, these are not taken for nothing, I provide a favorable living and working environment, and you need to pay the corresponding labor value for me. I don't know what you think of the development of Huating, but I can be sure that as long as you can do the things I have explained safely, ten years later, the property rights of these houses will be yours. Although I have less than 300,000 yuan to buy a house now, I believe that in ten years you will be grateful for your decision today, and your family will be grateful for your decision today. ”
