Chapter 18: CEOs
"Thank you Mr. Ren for the compliment, I don't think e-commerce is for me." Gao Yue responded with a kind smile, Ren Hong saw an aura of confidence in this beautiful woman, but she was neither humble nor arrogant, and she did not feel uneasy or flustered because of her age.
The other two applicants saw Ren Hong's appearance. I was secretly surprised in my heart, when this young man spoke, there was an amazing temperament between the lines, and this temperament was like a business tycoon scrutinizing it, and it was really surprising that this would appear in such a young person.
Similarly, when the two men who came to apply for the job heard Ren Hong's words, they couldn't help but glance at this woman, and they couldn't imagine that the person they thought was not a threat was the opponent who was the most threatening.
Which of these Google and Tencent is not an Internet giant with a market direct of hundreds of billions of dollars? They think they have worked in some so-called large companies, but compared to such companies, it is not worth mentioning, although Gao Yue has no formal resume, but these resumes are extremely dazzling.
Ren Hong didn't know what the other party was thinking, and he didn't need to know, he looked around at everyone with a smile and said, "I have two questions for you." Everyone looked at Ren Hong without saying a word, they all knew that it had begun, and everyone was seriously waiting for the other party's next step. The latter pondered for a moment and said, "What do you think is the valuation of XlouS?" ”
After speaking, Ren Hong looked at the three of them with a smile.
Valuation XlouS?
The three were obviously surprised.
"The instant online translation launched by XlouS is a product with great potential, and in this regard, I think the market value of XlouS is not less than 50 billion RMB." The 42-year-old man thought for a moment and said.
After a while, another man also spoke: "I think there is a market value of 20 billion US dollars, and the potential for instant online translation is far more than 500 billion, RMB!" ”
Hearing this, Ren Hong nodded slightly, then looked at Gao Yue and said, "So what does Miss Gao think?" ”
Gao Yue had been pondering, and when she heard Ren Hong's voice, she reacted, she lowered her head and was silent for a moment, and finally looked at Ren Hong and said, "I'm sorry, I can't figure it out for the time being, I'm not a professional analyst, and this question can't answer you quickly." ”
When Ren Hong heard this, he smiled, glanced at Gao Yue more, and then looked around at everyone, "One last question." He said: "My initial valuation of XlouS is $3,000 billion, do you agree with me? ”
After speaking, he looked at the three of them with a smile on his face.
3,000 billion? Or in US dollars!!
Everyone opened their mouths wide, and for a while they didn't know where to start, the two men glanced at each other, obviously extremely surprised, why is this young man's question so floating?
Gao Yue nodded thoughtfully, none of the three of them answered quickly, while Ren Hong waited quietly without any eagerness.
After a while, Gao Yue suddenly spoke, "I believe it!" ”
The two men were stunned for a moment and looked at Gao Yue, who sat there quietly, his confident temperament on display.
$3,000 billion? It's funny, the Middle East oil company Saudi Aramco, the world's largest company in terms of market capitalization, is only $2.5 trillion, and you dare to say three trillion? And you, a woman, even echoed and said that you believe it? Is this a sycophant?
The two men didn't know how to say it was good.
Ren Hong's eyes suddenly focused on Gao Yue's body, only to see him slowly get up, and said to Gao Yue with a smile, "Miss Gao, I now formally invite you to serve as the CEO of the company in the name of the founder and director of XlouS Company!" With that, he stretched out his right hand.
When the two men heard this, they were stunned by two capitals on the spot.
Gao Yue was stunned when she heard this, and a beautiful smile appeared at random, she also got up from her seat, shook hands with her, and said at the same time: "Thank you!" ”
"Congratulations! Miss gao! Ren Hong smiled, and at this time, his eyes turned to the two men, the latter saw Ren Hong's gaze, and immediately smiled awkwardly, and then looked at Gao Yue, "Although it's a pity, congratulations to Miss Gao!" Then he looked at Ren Hong, "Congratulations to Mr. Ren too." In that case, then I will take my leave! ”
Ren Hong greeted politely and watched the two leave.
Obviously, Ren Hong's two questions are his assessment of candidates, and the two weird questions seem to be a bit floating, but they actually have his own considerations.
The first question, as a company's executives, an excellent CEO, should be down-to-earth, seek truth from facts, see the fundamental problems, rather than blindly catering to the pursuit of shareholder requirements and rashly make uncertain decisions, obviously, the valuation of a company needs all aspects of consideration, a large amount of data, etc., rather than a few minutes can be done, in Ren Hong's view, two men who reported figures, this is not down-to-earth, realistic embodiment, he also excluded it in his heart. They didn't think of this at all, they thought of how to answer Ren Hong, and they didn't see the fundamental question. And Gao Yue's answer made Ren Hong very satisfied, this is the embodiment of an excellent CEO, at least what Ren Hong wants.
The second question, this question is really too floating. When Gao Yue answered, Ren Hong had already determined that she would be the CEO of XlouS, nothing else, Ren Hong is a person with a very strong desire to control, he doesn't need a CEO who doesn't act according to his requirements, even if this CEO is very, very good, he needs a CEO who can perfectly execute his request, and Gao Yue's answers to the two questions before and after made him very satisfied.
The first question Gao Yue answered proved that she was a good company executive, and the second question proved that she would strictly carry out all the tasks assigned by the directors, which was even wrong. Ren Hong wants such a CEO.
There were only two people left in the box, and after a short silence, Ren Hong spoke again: "I'm younger than you, so I'll call you Sister Gao!" So, what do you ask for in terms of treatment? ”
"I'm not worried about the treatment, I believe in you, boss!" Gao Yue showed a charming smile and said.
Ren Hong thought thoughtfully, and then smiled: "An annual salary of 6.5 million, US dollars!" After three years, you will receive 0.5% of the original shares of XlouS, and if you sell the shares, the company will receive a pre-emptive right of repurchase, at a premium of 45%. ”
"You're the most generous boss I've ever met!" Gao Yue was surprised and extremely happy when she heard that she had such a high treatment, I am afraid that this treatment can be ranked in the world. What she didn't know was that in the near future, a 0.5% stake would make her the highest-paid CEO in the world.
Although Ren Hong is a man with a strong desire to control, he knows very well that if a company wants to develop healthily, it is particularly important to know how to share, and it is especially important to give 1% of the shares to each person in the company's initial team, and it is the same now, a founder and company who do not know how to share will not last long, and will not develop healthily.
