Chapter 316: Interview
Zhong Yuemin is responsible for the overall management of the company, and also serves as the person in charge of products and technology, and all the company's product directions and technical solutions are guided by him, and the consequence is to become a dog.
If it's just tired, the point is that he is too caught up in the complexity of things to focus on what a company CEO should do, which is fatal for a fast-growing company.
Intel's Grove kindly reminded him that this time the partners' complaints made him have to pay attention to the problem.
After learning from the pain, Zhong Yuemin first published recruitment information in major newspapers, and the first thing to recruit is the financial manager and human resources manager.
Then the robot WALL-E and WALL-E Alpha became hot, and soon the cover letters from all over the country flew like snowflakes, occupying Zhong Yuemin's desk, because of the lack of assistants, even Zhong Yuemin needed to do it himself.
Originally, he was still a little interested, and he had a kind of pride in the world's talents, but after reading dozens of garbage resumes, he quickly gave up.
"Johnny, what kind of job advertisement did you post?" Zhong Yuemin rushed out of the office irritably, and grabbed Johnny, who was wandering around.
"Is it a normal job advertisement?" John was confused.
"Didn't you mention our company's requirements? More than three years of relevant work experience, can you move to Pittsburgh?"
"They can all of them!" Johnny scratched his head, "there are so many people who want to work in our company right now!"
"!" Zhong Yuemin threw the pile of resumes to Johnny, "Eliminate those unreliable ones for me, and all the others will be interviewed next week, and if you don't participate, you will be deemed to have given up!"
"Are you sure you're going to meet so many people?"
"I think you cut out the nonsense and the resumes that can't be tied to finance and human resources, and it is estimated that you won't even have a tenth of your resumes left. Zhong Yuemin complained ruthlessly.
"Is that an exaggeration?"
"It may be more cruel than you think, you can see it first. Zhong Yuemin left after speaking.
After he returned to the office, he began to sort out the team structure of Wall-E, and the more he sorted out, the more worried he became, Wall-E is now completely a grass-roots team, which is completely insufficient to support the next step of growth.
Johnny was a good partner, but he was more interested in hardware research and development, and it was definitely not a good idea to put him in charge of the company's operations.
In terms of software technology, Zhong Yuemin is the general director, Peter and Moore are mainly responsible for the development and update of the Windows system, Stephen is mainly responsible for the development of various software, Stephen is recently a little anxious about Internet-related technology, and Zhong Yuemin took the opportunity to let him be responsible for the innovation business.
Mike is in charge of computer assembly and assembly line worker management, and he is doing a good job, he seems to have a talent for worker work management.
The home of WALL-E is now only one in Pittsburgh, and Mike is also in charge, but the next step is to expand to major cities in the United States, expand sales channels and greatly expand the influence of WALL-E.
But to do this, it is necessary to find a person with strong business management skills, to implement Zhong Yuemin's idea in a down-to-earth manner, and at the same time to run the Wali House well.
Now the products of Wali House are only alpha, which is more like an experience center, and the next step is to introduce related electronic products, or how, Zhong Yuemin has not thought clearly.
On the other hand, with the hot sale of Wall-E Alpha, Wall Street investment institutions also began to notice Wall-E, and some of them even sent him a meeting offer through Professor Anderson, of course, not to invite him to dinner, but to take a share of the development of Wall-E.
Zhong Yuemin is well aware that if Wall-E wants to get the next step of development, it will inevitably need to introduce capital, but how to balance the power of capital and maintain the company's independence is a huge problem, for any entrepreneur and entrepreneur.
So before thinking clearly, Zhong Yuemin was not ready to meet these venture capitalists, he chose to let the company develop for a while, after all, the idle has passed the stage of pure investment in the early stage, and the hot sales of Wali Alpha have made the company's development enter a positive cycle.
"Boss, someone is coming for an interview. ”
Just as Zhong Yuemin was still thinking, Johnny suddenly knocked on the door.
"Did someone come as soon as you put the ad out?"
"No, my ad has just been prepared and hasn't been sent out yet!"
Johnny's long smile made Zhong Yuemin immediately alert, and it must not be easy for someone to come.
"Let him in, after all, it's the first candidate to apply, and we're always going to give him some priority. ”
"Okay, I'll let her in right now!" Johnny snapped away.
After a few more moments, there was another knock on the office door.
"Please come in. Zhong Yuemin was sketching at the desk, thinking about the key point, without even raising his head, and even forgetting after speaking.
After more than ten minutes, after figuring out the key points of product design, he happily threw the pen aside and looked up in shock.
"Ah, Cui Yang, why are you here?"
"I'm the candidate for the financial manager job, and I've been hanging out for almost fifteen minutes now. Cui Yang replied.
"Ahh Zhong Yuemin hurriedly apologized, "Aren't you working at PricewaterhouseCoopers?
"Resigned. Cui Yang said, "I saw the job advertisement of WALL-E and felt that I was very suitable, I wonder if we can officially start the interview?"
Seeing Cui Yang's serious appearance, Zhong Yuemin also put away his old attitude, sat upright, and took the resume handed over by Cui Yang, "Please introduce yourself first." ”
"Okay, my name is Cui Yang, graduated from New York University, ACCA master's degree, worked at PricewaterhouseCoopers for three years as an auditor, left as an assistant manager, and worked as an audit project manager"
Cui Yangzhen introduced himself in a crackling manner, obviously coming prepared, and listening to Zhong Yuemin stupidly, I really didn't expect Cui Yang to be so good and have such rich work experience.
"Then why did you leave?"
"The audit work is very repetitive, and a large number of repetitive mechanical work is very destructive to ** and mental health, so I chose to leave. ”
"Why WALL-E?"
"Because I watched the 'robot WALL-E', I was very shocked by the all-round intelligent scene in it, and I deeply felt that most of the auditor's work would be replaced by intelligent robots, so I thought of WALL-E, which is very likely to create intelligent robots, to work, and see with my own eyes how the work of auditors can be replaced step by step by robots. ”
"Eh" Zhong Yuemin didn't expect "Robot Wall-E" to have such a big impact on Cui Yang, "After all, those are the ultimate fantasy." ”
"So will the auditor's job be replaced by robots?" Cui Yang said more sincerely.
"Theoretically, yes, but it will take a long, long time to achieve it technically, and the progress of existing technology is only the intensity of people's work, and of course it also includes reducing the intensity of auditors' work. Zhong Yuemin explained.
"That was enough, and I wanted to see how the technology was implemented. ”
Zhong Yuemin had no choice but to continue the interview, "Why do you think you are suitable for the job of financial manager?"
Cui Yang crackled again, listing one, two, three, four, in a clear manner, and he knew that he was a financial worker when he heard the voice.
"Okay, that's the end of the interview, thank you for attending, we will inform you of the results later. After the interview, Zhong Yuemin spread out in his seat.
"Did you really quit your job?"
Cui Yang also relaxed, "Of course I quit! I even demolished the house, and all my belongings were on my Chevrolet." ”
"Are you so sure you're going to get this job?"
"I've worked for so long, I still have this confidence!" Cui Yang said arrogantly, "If you really refuse me, I'll apply for your position as an assembly worker, anyway, as long as you're healthy." ”
"If I really want you to go to the assembly line with a master's degree, then I'm really a tyrannical thing!"
"No, you don't need to look at me differently, I just need a fair and just chance to compete. Cui Yang emphasized.
"Of course, I promise to be fair and impartial!"
Cui Yang handed over a check at this time, "Silver investment earned 1.6 million US dollars, half for one person." ”
Zhong Yuemin picked up the check for 800,000 yuan and pushed it back to Cui Yang, "That's all a joke, you can take the money back." ”
"I'm not kidding! We said at the time, earn half of the money per person!" Cui Yang said solemnly, "You won't be developed and look down on these little money, right?"
"How could it be!" Zhong Yuemin complained: "Don't look at the scenery of Wali Company, in fact, there are more and more in the account, and I personally don't have a dime!"
"Then why don't you hurry up and take it!" Cui Yang stuffed the check back to Zhong Yuemin, "This is what you earned yourself, you deserve it!"
"Okay, I'll invite you to dinner at noon!" Zhong Yuemin didn't refuse, he was indeed shy, "You can order whatever you want!"
"Of course, I didn't want to be polite to you!" Cui Yang smiled, "You also have to solve the overnight stay, you can't let me live in the car, right?"
"That can't be!" Zhong Yuemin scratched his head and looked at the office, "I usually either sleep in the school dormitory, or make do in the office, I'll open a room in your hotel." ”
Cui Yang looked at the messy blanket on the sofa, "Are you just making do so casually now?"
"There's no way, the company has just started to develop, you have to care about everything, you don't have time to sleep at all, just squint casually when you're tired. ”
"That's not good! The body is the capital of the revolution, how can your body stand it like this!?" Cui Yang was anxious, "You need a separate apartment, so that you can ensure rest!"
"It's not necessary, right?" Zhong Yuemin disagreed, "It's not time to enjoy it yet, and there's no time, let's talk about it later." ”
"No, I'm responsible for this!" Cui Yang said with a big bag, "You only need to carry your bag and move in at that time!"
"Huh?"
"Okay, wait for my news!" Cui Yang said and walked away resolutely.
Zhong Yuemin was stunned, "Don't eat anymore?"
Probably because of Cui Yang's reminder, Zhong Yuemin did not rush back to the office after eating at noon, but went to the city center for a walk, looking at the mighty river and the red leaves on Mount Washington, he realized that he had not come out for a long time.
As he walked, he arrived at the door of Vali's house, for it was early afternoon, and there were not many customers in the shop, but compared to the other shops on the street.
Many of the people who come to Wal-E's House are computer enthusiasts, most of them occupy a computer for an in-depth experience, and there is only one person who has been walking back and forth in the store.
Zhong Yuemin noticed that this man was not tall, with curly hair, but his eyes were bright, and he kept observing the display in the store, calculating the spacing between tables, the spacing between computers, and even measuring the height of the table and the number of electric lights on the ceiling.
The salesman next to him had already noticed his abnormal behavior, but because the other party didn't do anything, he didn't intervene.
Zhong Yuemin stepped forward with interest, "Hey, man, do you see anything famous?"
The other party looked at Zhong Yuemin vigilantly, Zhong Yuemin didn't care, "The design of this store is really different, it seems to hide some secrets!"
"There's no secret. The curly-haired man said, "They're just paying more attention to detail, and some very small tweaks make all the difference!"
"How?"
"See this table?"
"Is there anything special about this table?"
"His table top is a golden rectangle, the corners and the floor are also lined into a golden square, and the sides are a square, which is the pure beauty of the golden ratio!"
Zhong Yuemin pretended to look at it, "So that's the case, if you don't say it, I won't even find out!"
"There are also these lights, which are brighter than ordinary stores, and with the glass wall on the front, they give people a transparent and high-end feeling, which is especially in line with customers' expectations of the image of a technology company, so that all customers will have a cool feeling when they come in. ”
"You're right!" Zhong Yuemin asked, "Why are you interested in these?"
"Nothing, I'm just interested. ”
"No, I think you're trying to get a lot out of it. Zhong Yuemin said: "Do you have other plans?"
Seeing that Zhong Yuemin had misunderstood, the curly-haired man hurriedly explained: "I am the front desk of a hotel, and I just want to have my own business in the future, so I am more interested in the secrets of the operation of these companies." I saw a photo of this WALL-E house in the newspaper and thought it was amazing, so I ran to see it. ”
"Oh, I see!" Zhong Yuemin nodded, "If you were the manager here, what would you do?"
"The first point is that the salespeople here don't seem to know much about their company's business, and even many people are not proud of their company's products, which is intolerable!"
"So you're going to train them?"
"No, it's not just training, it's more important to find employees who have the same temperament as WALL-E!"
