Chapter 311: Radiant Investments in Action
Although the launch of Qunar has attracted the attention of people in the industry, the characteristics of this website determine that it cannot be in the spotlight as soon as it is launched, causing heated discussions among everyone; it is more about relying on the accumulated word-of-mouth to slowly let more consumers get used to themselves. This situation is a bit similar to Douban.
Before, Jiang Hui was still thinking about putting Qunar online during the summer vacation to see if he could catch up with the summer tourism peak. However, the plan can't keep up with the changes, and all companies have been developing rapidly recently, and there are not too many people to be transferred to Qunar.com, so it was officially launched in September.
After Jiang Hui explained his plan to the company and the ministers, he asked everyone to discuss and decide on daily affairs at the minister's regular meeting. Only major matters were confirmed and approved by Jiang Hui through the general manager's office.
"Dong Jiang, the deputy general manager of Guanghui Investment that you asked for recruitment before, I have already found two people and arranged an interview tomorrow morning, and I have confirmed with Secretary Zeng before. This is their resume, and I will report to you what I know about the two of them after I interviewed them", Liu Chujing came to Jiang Hui's office and said to Jiang Hui.
Jiang Hui looked at the two resumes handed over by Liu Chujing.
Gao Peng, male, born in 1971, graduated from Kyoto University and Princeton University with a doctorate in economics. He has led a number of venture capitals in the United States and has achieved very good results.
Guan Weidong, male, born in 1968, studied at Tianchao University of Science and Technology with a bachelor's degree, and a doctorate in finance from Columbia University. He has been the main promoter of the listing of many companies.
"Judging from the resume, whether it is Gao Peng or Guan Weidong, they are doing well in the United States, why do they want to return to China?", Jiang Hui asked.
"I also asked them this question in the first test, and the reason why the two of them returned to China is that they are relatively familiar with each other, that is, they have encountered a ceiling in the United States. As a Celestial Empire person, although they have all obtained green cards and have good work performance, it is difficult for them to further develop in their respective companies," Liu Chujing said.
The problem of career ceilings actually exists everywhere. Among foreign companies, whether it is European and American enterprises or Japanese and Korean enterprises, under normal circumstances, people in the Celestial Empire can only be department-level leaders, and at most they can become vice presidents, and it is difficult to be the leader of quite a branch.
"What do you think of the two of them?", Jiang Hui asked.
"I think in terms of ability, Gao Peng and Guan Weidong are qualified for the position of deputy general manager of Korn Ferry Investment, but I am worried that they will not look down on the scale of Korn Ferry Investment now. Gao Peng pays more attention to the autonomy of investment, while Guan Weidong pays more attention to the promotion of his position and the platform to display his talents. Personally, I think that if Mr. Jiang wants Guanghui Investment to operate strictly according to his own wishes, Guan Weidong will be a qualified executor, and if Mr. Jiang is quite hands-off, then Gao Peng is more suitable," Liu Chujing said.
Jiang Hui and Liu Chujing exchanged for a while, and generally had some understanding of Gao Peng and Guan Weidong.
The next day's interview was arranged in the Polytechnic Building, and Jiang Hui reserved an hour for each person. The first to inform Guan Weidong was Guan Weidong, because Jiang Hui had already preconceived in his heart and regarded him as the deputy general manager of Guanghui Investment. As for Gao Peng's words, Jiang Hui felt that it might be more appropriate to still be the deputy general manager of Qunar.
Because Guanghui Investment needs to invest in which projects at various stages, Jiang Hui has a number in his heart, and what he needs is an executor to implement his will to the company. Relatively speaking, in addition to pointing out a general direction for the development of Qunar.com, Jiang Hui needs a deputy general manager to lead the ministers to promote, and the places where you can play freely are relatively large, and it is obvious that this position is more suitable for Gao Peng.
Born in 1968, Guan Weidong is a 36-year-old young man who has begun to make a fortune. is not very tall, it should be one meter seven, it may not be necessary, and the visual weight is at least 140 pounds. With a pair of black-rimmed glasses, he looks sven.
After Liu Chujing took Guan Weidong to the conference room and sat down, he went to call Jiang Hui over.
"Mr. Guan, this is our President Jiang, I think you should also know something, I won't introduce it much", Liu Chujing said with a smile.
"Hello Mr. Jiang, I noticed you when you acquired Facebook in the United States at the beginning of the year. In fact, I was already paying attention to this company at that time, but I didn't expect to let Mr. Jiang take the lead", Guan Weidong said without saying anything humble.
"I can only say that this is the same as what the hero sees, I have read your information Mr. Guan, and those CASES are working perfectly", Jiang Hui said.
"Thank you Mr. Jiang for your compliment, my small achievements in front of Mr. Jiang will become an axe, which is unbearable", Guan Weidong said modestly.
When the people of the Celestial Empire praise themselves, they will always humbly say that they are not so powerful, which is very different from Europeans and Americans. Unexpectedly, Guan Weidong has been abroad for so many years, and this habit has not changed, and it is no wonder that he has no way to continue to improve his position in the United States. But it is precisely because of this that Korn Ferry Investment has the opportunity to hire him.
"I also know a little bit about the company's situation compared to you, and I also support Minister Liu's situation about you. In terms of treatment, I guess you also know the situation in the Celestial Empire, and there may be no way to give the same level to the United States from the beginning, I don't know how you think about it," Jiang Hui said.
"In fact, Minister Liu has already explained this to me, but I still came here today, which actually shows my attitude. To be honest, after so many years of struggle in the United States, I am not particularly short of money, I just hope to have a stage to display my talents," Guan Weidong said.
"Okay, then I see. As you know, there are more than a dozen companies in the Korn Ferry Group, and I can't manage everything myself, so as the deputy general manager of Korn Ferry Investment, basically what you are exercising is the authority of the general manager. And, after a period of time, if your performance is satisfactory, I can directly let you be the general manager and give you certain options," Jiang Hui said.
"I would like to know what are the main investment directions of Korn Ferry Investment in the future, and according to Minister Liu, the company does not have any other investment projects other than its 60% stake in Facebook," Guan Weidong said.
"It's express delivery and online shopping, specifically, the express delivery side is to ask you to negotiate with Shentong, Yuantong, Yunda, Zhongtong and SF Express and other express companies, and strive to buy shares on good terms, and in terms of online shopping, I am currently more interested in companies such as JD.com and Ali Baba, you can see if there is a chance to get their shares," Jiang Hui said.
