Chapter 158: Recruitment
Jiang Hui arranged to push forward with Weiwei to see if his brothers, sisters or teachers knew a law firm in the Boston area and entrusted him to help handle the case. This matter will not have an immediate result for a while, so Jiang Hui turned his attention back to China.
Before entrusting a headhunting company to help the deputy general manager and personnel manager of the colorless school intranet, the headhunting formula has provided several people's resumes to Li Shigui, and Li Shigui printed all the resumes and gave them to Jiang Hui to let Jiang Hui choose the candidates for interview.
Most of the candidates for deputy general manager recommended by headhunters are those who have years of experience in the Internet industry, and some of them are returnees who have worked at Google or Microsoft.
Jiang Hui flipped through his resume, and suddenly a familiar name came into view: Fang Dawen. In his previous life, Jiang Hui liked to speculate in stocks for a period of time, and often went to Xueqiu.com to see how financial people from all walks of life analyzed the market. Xueqiu.com is a very good website to understand the real-time market of Shanghai and Shenzhen, Hong Kong stock market, fund market, US stock market, bond, repo, futures and other information. Jiang Hui knew that the founder of this website was Fang Dawen, but he would only start Xueqiu a few years later.
Fang Dawen graduated from the Department of Chinese at Kyoto University and joined Southern Sunday after graduating from university in 1997. A few years later, he left Southern Sunday to go to other newspapers, and turned to the media industry several times. Although he has no experience in the management of Internet companies, his rich media experience is actually very suitable for another company that Jiang Hui is planning: Weibo. Jiang Hui plans to ask him to meet and talk first, so that he can first make a transition as the deputy general manager of the school intranet, and then take charge of the Weibo business after the establishment of Weibo.
Jiang Hui then selected a few candidates for interviewing the deputy general manager and the personnel manager. Since Fang Dawen is more suitable for Weibo, it is necessary for Jiang Hui to consider recruiting two deputy general managers for the school intranet at the same time, so as to avoid rushing to recruit people when the time comes.
Since the office on the campus intranet was still under renovation, Li Shigui chose a café near the Imperial Capital University of Technology as the interview venue. In fact, Jiang Hui doesn't like to drink coffee very much, but the current café construction is relatively classy, and in the absence of his own office, choosing a café is also a good choice, so he did not raise any objections to Li Shigui's arrangement.
Since multiple people were arranged for interviews at the same time, in order to avoid time delays as much as possible, Jiang Hui gave everyone an hour of time, which should basically be enough.
The first to interview was Fang Dawen, and when the agreed time was five minutes earlier, Fang Dawen entered the café and called Li Shigui, who got up and brought him to Jiang Hui's side.
"Hello, Mr. Fang, please sit down, what do you have to drink?", Jiang Hui said.
"Let's have a cup of Mocha, thank you," Fang Dawen said.
"I have already learned about Mr. Fang's situation in my resume, so let me introduce myself first," Jiang Hui said.
"Mr. Jiang, hello, before I came to the interview, I studied the school intranet carefully, and I already have a better understanding of Mr. Jiang's situation. I'd like to hear from you about your requirements for the deputy general manager of the school's intranet," Fang Dawen said with a smile.
"Before I talk about my requirements for the deputy general manager of the school intranet, I have a few questions I would like to know. Mr. Fang has been working hard in the traditional media industry, and I wonder how you can be interested in Internet companies?", Jiang Hui said.
"Because I have been working in the traditional media industry, I have paid more attention to the development of new media. Having spent a lot of time in traditional media, I have a deep sense of anxiety. Nowadays, the Internet industry is developing very fast, not to mention the impact of several major portals on traditional media, that is, some websites with not so large audiences, such as school intranets, have also begun to attract all kinds of people to pay attention to use. I think that in the future, the way for people to obtain and publish information will become more and more Internet-based, so when a headhunter asks me, I immediately agree to give it a try," Fang Dawen said.
"You majored in Chinese in college, and you may not be good at computer technology, how confident do you be the deputy general manager of the school intranet?" Jiang Hui asked.
"Mr. Jiang, you are recruiting the deputy general manager of the school intranet, not the head of the technical department or the development engineer. As a deputy general manager, I just need to know what kind of functions I need, what problems I need programmers to solve, how they implement them, and what programming tools they use, I don't need to know," Fang said.
"The intranet is currently an SNS site for college students, do you think it will continue to be open to college students or open to all users in the future?" Jiang Hui asked.
This question is a question that many people are concerned about, and it is also often asked, and Jiang Hui hopes to find a person who is consistent with his own ideas to manage the school intranet.
"From my past experience, in order for a product to develop, it must have its own characteristics, and it must adhere to its own characteristics. The intranet of the school has developed and grown in just over three months by firmly grasping the needs of college students. I think it's necessary for the intranet to continue to serve college students, at least for a short period of time. As for whether we need to develop with other users in the future, I think we can leave it for next year and think about it," Fang said.
Jiang Hui was very satisfied with Fang Dawen's answer, and this idea was basically exactly the same as what he thought. The main reason why he would think like that was to learn the experience and lessons of later generations, but Fang Dawen made his own judgment based on the current information, which was much more clever than Jiang Hui.
"What do you think about treatment?" Jiang Hui said.
"I don't pay much attention to wages, I want to lead the company to develop and grow with my own ability, and with the development and growth of the company, my personal interests will also grow at the same time," Fang Dawen said.
"In other words, Mr. Fang, do you want to get dividends or equity from the company?"
"It can be understood in this way," Fang Dawen said.
"Compared to you, you have also heard that I acquired Hao123 last month, when I negotiated with Hao123 at a valuation of 500 million, and I can give you one percent of the equity as a salary first, but only if your performance is recognized by all shareholders in the next three months. Although I am a major shareholder, we will not be evaluated according to the proportion of shares, 20 shareholders one vote, we now have more than 10 shareholders, as long as you pass the approval of 60 percent of the people, you will pass the assessment," Jiang Hui said.
"No problem, I agree," Fang Dawen said.
