Chapter 163: Talent Cultivation
Chapter 163 Talent Cultivation
……
Lunch was very formal for Guo Shouyun, although four or five dishes were not much. But satisfying his and Wendy's appetites is certainly no problem.
After leaving Wendy, who was still dissatisfied, to take care of the house, Guo Shouyun took Liu Zhixing to downtown San Francisco.
"Here we are, here it is!"
After parking the car on the side of the road, Guo Shouyun walked down from inside. He was surrounded by two Blackwater company bodyguards.
After getting out of the car, Liu Zhixing briefly looked at the towering luxury office buildings in front of him, as well as the surrounding steel jungle, a kind of modern urban atmosphere paved up.
After noticing that Guo Shouyun had already walked in front, Liu Zhixing, who had taken a brief look, hurriedly followed.
After entering through the revolving glass door of the main entrance, looking at the white-collar workers around him who were well-dressed and chatting and laughing, and even the gold collars, Liu Zhixing's eyes showed a longing.
This is the place where he has been able to struggle countless times in midnight dreams, both then and now.
Noticing the change in his expression, Guo Shouyun smiled slightly, and then didn't say much. Walk up the elevator shaft, wait until the elevator door opens, and walk in with the flow of people. Then I pressed the 9th floor.
The speed of business elevators is generally very fast, and in a few seconds before and after, the elevator will reach the floor that Guo Shouyun wants. Coming out of the inside, you are greeted by a modern style company front desk. And on the wall behind the front desk, the words 'Kwok's Business Group' are spelled in gold letters.
It's not the first time Guo Shouyun has come here, so the front desk basically knows him. Therefore, after seeing him come out of the elevator, the two front desk beauties who were originally smiling and talking about something, instinctively tensed their faces and stood up respectfully.
"Chairman!"
Guo Shouyun nodded, "Is your Catherine boss here?"
"Yes, the general manager is in the office. I'll go and inform you!"
"No need!" Guo Shouyun waved his hand, "You bring this Mr. Liu to the reception room." I'll just go find her myself!"
"You go to the reception room with them first, and I'll be over in a moment!" Guo Shouyun turned his head and confessed.
Liu Zhixing nodded and didn't say anything. I followed the front desk into the reception area on the right side of the office area. And Guo Shouyun also walked in with bodyguards after the two left. With the strong support of Guo Shouyun and the outstanding leadership of Catherine Lincoln, the Kwok Business Group has rented a two-story office building in St. Mary's Plaza in San Francisco's CBD. Not counting the external staff such as farms and slaughterhouses, there are more than 300 employees in the office alone, and more than 2,500 employees in the entire group.
Therefore, when Guo Shouyun walked in, the greetings around him were really continuous.
Familiar with the door of Catherine's office, after a brief glance at the door sign of the president's office, he raised his hand and knocked.
"Please come in!"
A familiar voice came from the tempered glass room.
Pushing open the door, an office of about 40 square meters with simple furnishings appeared in front of Guo Shouyun's eyes.
Looking at the childhood friend who was working at the desk, wearing a black ladies' dress, with golden hair tied into a ponytail and put on the back of his head, wearing gold wire glasses, full of strong woman temperament, Guo Shouyun waved his hand to let the two bodyguards stay outside, took two steps forward and smiled: "I am relieved to see you working so hard!"
This sentence fully exposes your Grandet's true nature. After a playful sarcasm, Catherine put down her pen and looked up at her old friend, who had already walked to the desk and sat down in a chair, "Tell me, what's the matter with this visit?"
"It's nothing, I came to see you purely out of a friend's concern!"
"Forget it, Bruce! People don't know about you, don't I know you yet? Besides, you've been here no more than ten times since the Kwok Group was founded nearly a year ago. And every time I come, I have a bunch of problems!" Catherine Lincoln pouted, her expression clearly revealing disbelief.
Guo Shouyun shrugged his shoulders and didn't explain. He puts on some superficial disguise in front of all his subordinates, including Wendy. The only one who will show her true self in front of Catherine. Because, the two who grew up together know each other too well. There is no need for camouflage at all.
"I'm sending you a talent this time!"
"Sure enough, there is still something. But the person you're talking about is the one who came with you?"
"You see?"
"Nonsense! The surveillance system on my computer is not for nothing. Besides, if I don't know, all the people in the secretariat should be fired!"
Guo Shouyun nodded, "Since you saw it, then I'll briefly introduce it to you." … This person's name is Liu Zhixing, and he has just been naturalized. He used to study economics and business management at the top university in China. Something happened in the middle, and I used to have a very depressed life. His talent, though, is the best I've ever met. So, I'm going to put him next to you for a while. ”
"Why me? You have a lot of companies. Besides, wouldn't it be better for you to bring it with you to cultivate?"
"I want to stay with me and train me. But he's going to Stanford for further study, and I can't always be in San Francisco. That's why I thought of you. As for why you, do you still need to ask?" Guo Shouyun didn't have a good breath.
Katherine Lincoln had a smile on her face. Of course, she understood the meaning of Guo Shouyun's words. In terms of trust, the two who grew up together far exceed those professional managers. This is not comparable even to Alexander Martin, who has been a classmate for nearly three years.
"Well, for the sake of your words being so satisfying, this man will remain with me. However, I'm going to test his level for myself, and if it's too bad, then I won't give him a high position!"
Guo Shouyun nodded, "You can test it." But if it works out, I'd like you to keep him as your administrative secretary for a while. ”
If you want to learn, it is valuable to participate in practical management and gain experience. But with Catherine, a senior Harvard Business School executive, Liu Zhixing was able to learn more by his words and deeds. In particular, he lacks knowledge of modern business management.
"Alright!" Catherine nodded.
"Let's go!"
As soon as he stood up, he was stopped by Catherine.
"You just stay here and look at the company's statements. As for that Mr. Liu Zhixing, I'll go by myself!"
Looking at her interested eyes, Guo Shouyun was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile.
"Since you insist, then let it be!"
Seeing that he agreed, Catherine opened the safe, took out a stack of papers and put them in front of him, "Look at it yourself, and lock it up for me when you're done." I'll go first!"
Watching her tall back disappear into the office resolutely, Guo Shouyun shook his head slightly and picked up the document in his hand.
"Now just after January, the Kwok Business Group has developed a lot. It seems that it was the right thing to hand over the company to Catherine in the first place!" Guo Shouyun said in his heart.
"Jingle bell...!"
Just then, his phone rang suddenly.
After taking it out and glancing at the caller ID, he frowned slightly and thought for a moment before pressing the answer button.
"Mr. Jamison, it's rare for you to call me!"
Guo Shouyun's tone became melodious.
"Mr. Guo is busy. If it's not something important, I don't dare bother you!"
John Jamison on the other end of the line smiled.
"You're exalting me too much. If you're busy, I'm not as busy as you as a partner at Goldman Sachs. ”
After a brief chat, Jamison consciously got to the point.
"Mr. Guo, the last time you were in New York, you promised to hand over the second ABS asset-backed securities of your work to Goldman Sachs for underwriting. I wonder if this promise is still valid?"
"Of course it works!"
"That's good, if Mr. Guo has time in the evening, I'd like to invite you to dinner at Cyril's Restaurant!"
Guo Shouyun's eyes flashed with deep thought.
"Okay. But Cyrill's restaurant is membership-only, I'm afraid I won't be able to get in!"
"Hehe, Mr. Guo is joking. Any place in the world welcomes a super-rich man like Mr. Liu!"
"I don't dare to be a super-rich person, I don't have much money in my hands now!" After a pause, Guo Shouyun changed his words, "What about the time to meet at night?"
"How's 7?"
"Yes!"
"Then we'll see you in the evening?"
"See you in the evening!"
After hanging up the phone, Guo Shouyun's attention was completely focused on tonight's meeting. Although he promised to hand over the right to issue his second batch of ABS bonds to Goldman Sachs. But Merrill Lynch, who tasted the sweetness, also made it difficult for him to refuse. So, in the end, it's still about interests. If Goldman Sachs can't come up with enough terms for him to covet, the promise can be reversed.
"I'm becoming more and more like a bottomless businessman!"
Thinking of this, Guo Shouyun shook his head with a wry smile on his face. Looking at the information of Guo's Commercial Group in his hand, he was already completely uninterested, and after simply flipping through it, he locked the information into the safe next to him.
After processing, he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window next to him. Looking at the bustling city of San Francisco below, and the vast blue ocean in the distance, my eyes become deep.
This second batch of ABS securities is related to his next several major plans, and there is absolutely no room for failure.
And when Guo Shouyun was planning for the future, Catherine Lincoln also completed the test of Liu Zhixing. Just look at her expression and know that she is satisfied. So, everything went smoothly for the rest of the week. Later, after a brief chat about the development plan of Guo's Commercial Group this year, Guo Shouyun left St. Mary's Square with Liu Zhixing. With Goldman Sachs' invitation, the original plan to finish eating with Catherine naturally fell through. However, the two have long been acquainted with each other. You can eat anytime. But the meeting with Goldman Sachs cannot be shirked.
