Chapter 508 Headhunters
Dongfang Yuqin nodded in agreement, and then sat next to Li Zetian, "Through this speculation, the future development of Chronos Bank will be more smooth." ”
"Well, yes. ”
Li Zetian poured a cup of tea for Dongfang Yuqin, and then said: "We have a lot of money on hand recently, instead of putting it away, it is better to quickly establish branches all over the world, so that Chronos Bank can spread all over the world." ”
Dongfang Yuqin said with a charming smile: "How can it be so easy, to establish a branch, you need to choose a location, decorate, recruit bank management talents, etc., ......"
"I know this, but it's easy to say that as long as the money is in place, there should be no problem! ”
"By the way, Yuqin, the world's top five executive search companies, we simply acquired two or three of them to facilitate us to poach people in the future! In addition, there are professional social networking sites, such as LinkedIn, Future, 58.com, and so on. In addition, I suddenly had an idea, since we are going to acquire a headhunting company, why not develop a career development platform that can realize the tripartite interaction between enterprises, headhunters and professional managers, I have thought of the name, it is called Liepin.com, and has always focused on creating a career development platform with the personal user experience of managers as the core, and comprehensively subverting the traditional online recruitment advertising platform with the enterprise as the core!"
When Dongfang Yuqin heard this, she said thoughtfully: "LinkedIn.com, worry-free future, and 58.com are mainly aimed at ordinary employees, while Liepin is aimed at high-end talents...... In this way, there is no shortage of talent in the company!"
"Yes, that's it!" Li Zetian smiled and nodded, "Later, I will teach William and Youran to do these things, and I should let them exercise more." ”
"With the ability of the two of them, there is naturally no problem in doing these things. Dongfang Yuqin said with a smile.
"How is the real estate market in the United States now?" Li Zetian changed the topic.
Dongfang Yuqin said with a smile: "It has begun to collapse, and on February 13 this year, the American New Century Financial Corporation issued a profit warning for the fourth quarter of 2006!"
Generally speaking, if a profit warning is issued, it indicates that the company has a business problem!
"You know, when the real estate bubble in the United States is serious, housing prices will not rise to a certain extent, and naturally no one will be willing to take over later, so real estate speculators are as anxious as ants on a hot pot. The house could not be sold, and the high interest had to be paid non-stop, and finally when the day of desperation came, the house was dumped to the bank, and the default occurred. The New Century Financial Corporation of the United States is the second largest subprime mortgage company in the United States, and naturally it has suffered serious losses!" Dongfang Yuqin said with a smile.
"It's kind of interesting, the show is finally about to begin!" Li Zetian's mouth rose and he smiled evilly.
……
……
At the dinner table, Li Zetian told Li Youran and William about the acquisition of headhunting companies and job search websites.
"Korn Ferry, Heidrick & Struggle, Spencer Stuart, Egon Zehnder and Russell Reynolds are the world's top five executive search firms, all of which were founded in the 50s and 60s of the last century, and they are also inextricably linked. Currently, Korn Ferry and Heidrick & Struggles were listed on the NASDAQ in 1999, and the other three have remained private partnerships. ”
"The positioning of top headhunting companies is 'high (high positions) + 'expensive (expensive fees)'.
But in practice, there are also differences between the 'Big Five':
Spencer Stuart accounts for more than 50% of the Fortune 500 director search market.
Egon Zehnder and Russell Reynolds emphasise the "One Firm" philosophy, with only one P&L (P&L) globally and three offices each with their own P&L. ”
"We've been in contact with top headhunters a lot, so we know them very well. Li Zetian looked at Li Youran and William and asked, "Which headhunting firm do you think we should acquire?"
"All of them have been acquired!!" Li said leisurely, full of domineering.
Li Zetian's forehead instantly darkened.
Li Youran also said: "We have been cooperating with the five major headhunting companies, investing in and acquiring them, naturally for better cooperation! Just leave them some shares! Besides, Dad, don't you still want to establish a liepin.com." With the support of the five major headhunting companies, are you still afraid that Liepin will not be able to develop? As long as Liepin succeeds in its development, it will be easier to poach people in the future!"
Li Zetian thought about it and felt that what his daughter said was right.
The five world's top headhunting companies are not very tall and famous, but the market value is really not high, for example, among the listed companies, Glow International and Heidrick & Struggle, whose market capitalization is 2.06 billion US dollars and 450 million US dollars respectively.
For Li Zetian, this money is drizzle, and it is not worth mentioning, but the top headhunting company is of great help to Li Zetian.
Li Zetian thought for a moment and said, "That's it, leisurely, you are responsible for investing in and acquiring the world's top five headhunting companies." William, you are responsible for the acquisition of LinkedIn, Future, 58.com. After Youran Investment acquires the five major headhunting companies, you will join forces to open Liepin!"
"Okay, Dad!!" Ran and William replied in unison.
……
After the meal, Li Zetian took the hand of his youngest daughter Li Yue'er and took a walk in the leisurely garden to enjoy the flowers.
"Peach Blossom Nunnery in Peach Blossom Dock, Peach Blossom Fairy under Peach Blossom Nunnery; Peach Blossom Fairy Grows Peach Trees, Picks Peach Blossoms and Sells Wine for Money......"
The peach blossoms in the garden are in full bloom, the fragrance is overflowing, and the spleen is refreshing, Li Zetian couldn't help but chant poetry at this time, and he had a trace of emotion and envy for the life written by Tang Bohu. However, Li Zetian also knows that he himself is a person who can't be idle at all, always thinking about making money and changing the world.
"Dad, is this a poem you created?" Li Yue'er looked at Li Zetian with big eyes, her eyes were full of admiration, as if in her eyes, her father was omnipotent.
"Ahem!!" Li Zetian coughed twice, and said secretly, I want to say that this poem was created by myself, and Tang Bohu's coffin board is afraid that it will not be able to be suppressed~~ This is not a different time and space, everyone knows that this poem was written by Tang Bohu, I don't dare to say that I created it by myself. Although Xiao Yue'er doesn't know it now, she will eventually grow up in the future and will know Tang Bohu.
Li Zetian said to Xiao Yue'er, "I didn't create it, it's a poem called Tang Bohu." ”
"Tang Bohu?" Xiao Yue'er thought seriously for a while, and said excitedly, "Dad, I remember, I know that the name of a movie is called "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance"! One of my classmates said that she has a box of video tapes at home that is "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", and this movie is funny!"
Li Zetian gently scratched her nose and asked, "Baby, do you want to see it?"
Xiao Yue'er nodded vigorously, "I want to see it!"
"Okay, Dad will take you to watch a movie!!" said Li Zetian, who hugged Xiao Yue'er to his body, and then walked to the theater at home.
