Chapter 147: It's really not a joke
Pascal Schultz's eyes lit up, and he said cautiously: "Sir, are you willing to offer me a job?" ”
Nodding noncommittally, Chen Geng said, "It depends on your ability. ”
"I will not disappoint you with my professional qualities!" Pascal Schultz immediately became excited, and the whole person shouted excitedly as if grasping a life-saving straw: "Sir, sir, please believe me, I am willing to do anything for this job!" Whether it's in Germany or somewhere else......"
There is nothing more tempting for Pascal Schultz than to give him a job, he never thought that having a job would be so important to him, if he couldn't find a job within a month, the bank would repossess his house, and the court would consider himself financially incapacitated and would cancel his custody of his children - there was nothing worse than this, in order to get a job, Pascal Schultz had ever done the most undignified thing, Now, let alone working abroad, as long as you can give yourself a job, even if you let yourself work on Mars, there is no problem.
"But you haven't answered my question yet......"
"Huh? Oh...... I'm sorry, sir, I'm really sorry," Pascal Schultz realized that he hadn't answered the question that might be his future boss, his face turned white, and he prayed that the other party would not let him lose this rare opportunity because of his impoliteness, and he couldn't afford to lose this opportunity anymore, and immediately said: "Please believe me, I am definitely one of the middle managers with the widest range of positions and the most rich management experience in ZF company." Before entering the torque converter workshop at ZF. I have worked in ZF in the manual transmission department, the commercial vehicle chassis department, the commercial vehicle transmission department, as well as the axle department and steering department. In terms of experience, I am definitely one of the most experienced managers in ZF's front-line management......"
Listening to Pascal Schultz desperately selling himself to himself, Chen Geng had only one thought in his heart: Damn, this time Lao Tzu really picked up a treasure!
Holding back the excitement in his heart, Chen Geng asked Pascal Schultz: "Mr. Schultz, it seems that you don't mind working abroad, but I need to be sure, what kind of requirements do you have for salary?" ”
Salary?
This question made Pascal Schultz hesitate and hesitate. From Pascal Schultz's heart, of course, he hopes that his salary is as high as possible, but the "experience" of the past few months has told him that as a guy with a black history, he doesn't have the luxury of getting a high-paying job. Pascal Schultz was worried: If the asking price was too high, would he lose this opportunity?
He hesitated for a long time. Pascal Schulz finally said cautiously: "When I was at ZF, my annual salary was about 100,000 Deutsche marks. But my situation ......."
"100,000 marks, right? No problem! Without waiting for Pascal Schultz to finish speaking, Chen Geng suddenly spoke, and it was completely out of Pascal Schultz's super high salary: "In addition to the annual salary of 100,000 yuan, as long as there are no major negligence and mistakes in the scope of work you are responsible for by the end of the year, you can get an additional bonus of 20,000 marks." ”
…… In other words, you can get 120,000 Deutsche marks a year? That's about $40,000? Pascal Schultz was really frightened by Chen Geng's condition!
In 1984 in the United States, the per capita annual income had just crossed the threshold of $10,000, and the per capita annual income in Germany was only $8,000...... Anger: Even if you know I'm in a bad situation, you shouldn't be making fun of me, right?
Chen Geng knew what was on his mind as soon as he saw Pascal Schultz's reaction, and asked, "You think I'm joking with you?" ”
Pascal Schultz snorted twice, but finally did not speak, but his expression made it clear what was in his mind: Isn't it?
"I need you to work in China without any subsidy, this 120,000 marks is all the income you can get in a year," looking at Pascal Schultz, Chen Geng said: "Do you think that 120,000 Deutsche marks a year can hire an experienced front-line manager to work in China and help a Chinese company establish a modern and scientific production management system?" ”
"Can't!" Pascal Schultz said without thinking, and at the same time, his expression quickly calmed down.
Pascal Schultz is no stranger to China, and has been widely discussed in the media about Wolfsburg's investment in China, and after coming to Wolfsburg, where Wolfsburg's headquarters is located, he has heard countless times about whether Wolfsburg's investment in China was a wise and far-sighted decision or an extremely stupid investment.
Pascal Schultz's impression of China is similar to that of most Europeans in this era, it is a mysterious and poor land, but it can always brew some miracles that people can't imagine, but in any case, it is unthinkable to use an annual salary of 120,000 marks to send a person with many years of experience in grassroots production management and understanding of modern production and management systems to China.
"120,000 Deutsche marks, right? No problem, I'll go! Pascal Schultz does not hesitate to say that as long as he can make money, he does not care where he goes, and the only thing he cares about is: "How long do I need to work in China?" And also. How much vacation do I have each year? ”
"Speaking of which. All I can say is I'm sorry. Chen Geng himself was a little embarrassed: "I need you to work in China for at least 5 years, and your annual vacation will not exceed 20 days, of course, if you have the opportunity to come to Germany for business, you can take a few more days off to see your family." ”
"20 days ......" Pascal Schultz's eyes are a little straight: he only sees his wife and children for about a month a year? It takes an average of 11 days to see each other?
Now he has finally confirmed that the annual salary of 120,000 marks is not so easy to earn.
"Of course, you can't leave for too long because of your position and position. But your wife can come to China to see you, it doesn't matter how long it takes, all the expenses are covered by my company, if your wife is willing to live in China for a long time, I can help find a job on your behalf, and your children's schooling, I will also help solve it. Chen Geng added.
Pascal Schulz's face suddenly looked a lot, but after all, he left everything he had in Germany and went to a completely unfamiliar country to start a new business. Even though the job looked promising, Pascal Schultz was slow to make up his mind. Unless......
"If, I mean if," Pascal Schultz asked Chen Geng hesitantly, biting his lip, "if one day in the future, I help your company become bigger and stronger, what kind of reward will I get?" ”
Interesting!
Chen Geng smiled, he didn't sell off on this issue, in fact, he also hoped that Pascal Schultz would devote himself to helping him, not just to do his job. So in the face of this question, Chen Geng did not evade it in the slightest, and said: "This question is very good, let me answer you like this, I have never regarded the company as my own personal belongings, I hope that all the people in the company can be instructed in the development of the company, as for you, as long as you show your ability, job promotion, high annual salary, equity ...... All of this is not a problem, and I can honestly say that I want every executive in the company to be a multi-millionaire, and only then can I become a billionaire or even a billionaire. ”
"I need a clear timeline." Pascal Schultz bit his lip, looked at Chen Geng fixedly, and said.
"Timetable?"
"That's right, a timetable," says Pascal Schultz, "for example, to the size of the company I have helped grow, and to what extent the company has rewarded me, I want to have a timetable, not a verbal promise." ”
The timetable is very normal in Western companies, and the content of the timetable is not the same, some of the regulations are that I help your company achieve an annual profit of 10 million US dollars, in addition to the annual salary and the prescribed bonus, you have to give me as much as you want; For example, as a professional manager, I will help you achieve the size of the company to the level of 100 million US dollars, how much equity incentive do you want to give me...... And so on, for this kind of incentives, Western society is more accustomed to using a timetable to make it clear, rather than using vague expressions such as "follow me, there will be bread, and there will be a house": you made it clear to me, when will this bread and house be there?
Pascal Schultz asked himself to give him a clear reward schedule, which Chen Geng thought was a good sign, and not only should not be opposed, but should be encouraged and supported: "The schedule, right? No problem, what kind of schedule do you want? ”
"I want to ask, how big is your company now? What about the social relations of your company? This is Pascal Schultz's main concern, which is directly related to his future and is the most critical factor affecting whether he will go to China.
"My company has just been started, and now my main business is ......"
Before Chen Geng finished speaking, Pascal Schultz was already stunned, and a series of questions hit Chen Geng like a series of cannons: "Your company has really only been established for three or four months?" Is your company really the only distributor for the BMW 71 side three-wheeler replica now? You guys really ......."
Although judging from what Chen Geng said, the company's production capacity is still very weak, but the potential is extremely huge, the most important thing is that this company has a strong relationship with the Chinese military, which is too important for a company, with such a relationship, doing business is absolutely twice the result with half the effort, and the future is absolutely unlimited, just like Peugeot and the Elysee Palace maintain a good relationship, so Peugeot has always pressed Citroen cars.
My brother hasn't told you that he's an active soldier. Chen Geng smiled and said, "That's it, you can go and inspect it first, if you are not satisfied, it doesn't matter, I will bear your round-trip accommodation expenses and air tickets, and then give you 3,000 marks as compensation." ”
Chen Geng's words can be said to have given Pascal Schultz a reassurance, and then think about it, he is just a down-and-out vagabond, and this opportunity is simply God's mercy on himself to send to him, to be able to meet this young Chinese again at the most difficult time, this must be God's will, and God's will must not be violated.
Thinking of this, Pascal Schultz said without hesitation: "No need, I have already decided, I will go to China with you!" ”
Although he felt that Pascal Schultz was unlikely to refuse him, when Pascal Schultz really agreed, Chen Geng's heart was still full of surprise, and after thinking about it, he said: "Since this is the case, then I always have to solve your worries, in this way, how much money do you need to solve the current trouble?" ”
Without waiting for Pascal Schultz to speak, Chen Geng then added: "Don't think about it, this is your income in advance." ”
Pascal Schultz's face looked much better: "30,000 marks." ”
30000 marks? Good guy, what did this guy do, he owed the bank $10,000 and didn't pay it back? Surprised to surprised, Chen Geng said without hesitation: "No problem, now I can go to the bank and transfer it to you......"
……………………
Looking at the 30,000 marks on his bank card, Pascal Schultz had mixed feelings in his heart, at this moment, he finally determined that the other party was not joking with him, and at the same time made up his mind to go back to go through the relevant procedures immediately, a thought suddenly popped up in Pascal Schultz's heart: Maybe he can persuade his wife to go to China with him? (To be continued.) )
