Chapter 151: Recruitment
Kleiman is supposed to be of Latin American descent, as evidenced by his facial features and brown skin.
He wore black-rimmed glasses and carried a bag, and was surprised to see two Asians sitting in his place.
He walked over with a suspicious look and asked, "So, you are the ones who called me to meet me?"
Chen Zier confirmed: "Yes, you can call me Chen, this is Miss Yang, the company's legal counsel, can you let us know your name?"
Kleiman felt that something strange had happened to him, the two Asians were too young, but he replied anyway, "Kleiman...... Kleiman Webb. ”
He continued, "Huh...... May I ask why the meeting place is a café and not a company? You're not an investment company, so where is it?"
Chen Zier said: "We are looking for a suitable place as an office, but this is not the main content of today, Mr. Weber, do you bring your resume? Can you let me see your resume?"
Kleiman took it out and put it on the table.
Those who can stay in Silicon Valley are good talents, and ordinary people can't survive here, so although Kleiman doesn't trust them a little, his work ability will not be bad.
It's just a little unlucky......
He is exactly the kind of person Chen Zier said to spend his life buying Silicon Valley lottery tickets, and his work history says that he has worked for six companies in the past, and each of them will not be more than two years.
You can say he's experienced and adaptable, or you can say he's ...... It is not attractive to a company like Shengshi Investment that aspires to become bigger.
Chen Zier kept a kind smile and said, "Okay, Mr. Weber, we have your email address, and we will send you an email if needed." ”
It's not that he doesn't dislike this person for not being loyal.
In fact, in Silicon Valley, loyalty is a terrible thing to be extravagant, so he wasn't looking for loyal people in the first place, nor was he looking for people who didn't dream of making a fortune.
He just doesn't want to be a man who wants to pin his hopes of getting rich on the efforts of others.
Kleiman may be good, but Chen doesn't like it very much.
Yang Runling said: "Judging from my simple observations, he doesn't trust the two of us. ”
Chen Zier said nonchalantly: "Don't we have a second applicant?"
……
……
Tony James.
He seemed to be much worse than Kleiman, at least Kleiman came in a nice suit, but this dude only wore a shirt.
Kleiman is not like a person who has been cornered by life, so he has a little room and power to choose, and he chooses not to believe in Chen Zier and Shengshi Investment.
But Tony doesn't seem to ......
At least it doesn't look like it.
He was a skinny, lean white man, in his thirties, a little shorter, shorter than Chen Zier, in the white world...... Should be considered a fail.
His beard is clean-shaven and his hair is well-trimmed, which shows that he takes this interview seriously.
He ignored the problems of the environment, and he didn't seem to be able to see Chen Zier's skin color and age.
Something must have taught him to be passionate about people, well, more precisely, about the work that would bring him income.
"My name is Tony James and I'm a hardware engineer, allow me to say that...... Engineer. Here's my resume, I started out at Magic Company. ”
Chen Zier can't remember what this company does, but it doesn't matter.
Tony continued: "But no one believed in my idea there, and then I worked at Compaq and I did a good job, don't look at me like this, I was the first assistant to the project manager, and of course he didn't like me anymore......"
Judging from his expression and tone, Chen Zier felt that he was stating the facts, but only a little......
"No offense, Tony, but can you let us know what's going on with you? You know, you don't look like the first assistant to a project manager in a company as big as Compaq. ”
When life rapes you and others ask you why you are not in good clothes, it is best not to be annoyed and angry, throw your face and leave.
Trust this, because as soon as you turn around, you are going to be raped again.
Tony understood.
So although he felt a little embarrassed, he kept nodding his head and said, "Yes, I have suffered something very unlucky." Well...... In fact, after I left Compaq, I chose to start my own business, which is a common thing in Silicon Valley. ”
Of course, entrepreneurial failure can be a more common thing. ”
"Ok......" Chen Zier understood, and he asked again: "Can you tell me about your luck, you can do a few successful things, one or two things." ”
Although it is said that people who know what failure is more likely to succeed, those who only know failure are not necessarily successful.
Tony naturally understood what Chen Zier meant, and hurriedly said, "Of course, I have done a lot of projects......
Coincidentally, at this time, Yang Runling's phone rang.
The bell interrupted Tony's remarks.
She gave Chen Zier apologetic looks, and then quickly walked away to listen to the phone.
……
……
After about five minutes of talking, she returned, and she didn't interrupt immediately because Tony was rambling about his 'glorious deeds'.
But Chen Zier saw her stop talking a few times, so before Tony began to tell the third story, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Yang Runling said in a somewhat happy tone: "It's a call from Delaware. ”
Chen Zier couldn't believe it, looking at her expression should be good news, but is this so easy?
"Professor John and Professor Westman are both checking with me to see if the multi-touch patent you asked me to contact me is a prank. ”
"They don't believe anyone buys?"
"Yes at first, but I convinced them that they were willing to sell, and we could send someone over at any time to negotiate. ”
Chen Zier himself was a little confused, did he have 48 hours to contact fingerors? Could it be that two professor-type entrepreneurs were reluctant to quit after they couldn't attract business?
It's not impossible, Page wanted to sell Google, Lao Ma also wanted to sell QQ, Ding Lei also wanted to sell NetEase, these things didn't happen just because no one took over.
Now Chen Zier has taken the plate of those two.
He asked, "What is the price they are asking for?"
"Three hundred thousand dollars...... In addition......"
"What's wrong?"
In addition, he hopes that the company will fund their future research on multi-touch technology. ”
Chen Zier: "......"
The professor didn't mention that he wanted to continue his research, but the more mature the technology, the greater the value of the patent.
Tony found that he hadn't spoken for three minutes, and he couldn't understand Chinese!
After waiting for a while, he tentatively said, "Eh, Mr. Chen, may I ask my application ......?"
Chen Zier said: "Mr. Tony, the last question, you are a hardware engineer, so do you have a passion for making a music player?"
Tony nodded firmly, "Of course, sir." ”
Chen Zier immediately decided, "Congratulations, Mr. Tony, you have got a job, hurry up and pack your bags, we will fly directly to New York tomorrow and complete a special mission first." ”
Yes, to New York.
Because Delaware is only an hour's drive from New York.
