Chapter 158 Must we discuss business in this place?
Early May.
Yang Ruoqian was sitting in front of the computer, flipping through resumes one by one.
He took over some of the work from the human resources department - mainly the selection of people for management positions, and he had to take a look in person before he could feel at ease.
A bad soldier will always be a bad general. The backstab of a grassroots employee on Yang Ruoqian was far less painful than the backstab of a manager on Yang Ruoqian.
In order to better manage the industries handed over by Chengyu and the upcoming big-budget movies, the company needs a large number of employees, and these employees also need proper management.
We need to find a few pillars of society who can be entrusted with important tasks and, under the leadership of the veteran employees, work together to push the company into the fire pit.
"But why are all these resumes so impressive?"
At a glance, Yang Ruoqian saw several returnees with master's and doctoral degrees who had graduated from prestigious foreign universities. None of them had studied junk majors, and some even had work experience in foreign companies.
If you take out this kind of resume, you can easily get an annual salary of 500,000 or 600,000 yuan. All kinds of big companies are scrambling for it. Why do you have to come to our Kuiguang? Moreover, when Yang Ruoqian clicked on these resumes, each one was very beautiful, almost showing their advantages and sincerity on paper, which was enough to show that they really wanted to be hired.
After politely rejecting these overseas returnees, Yang Ruoqian continued to browse through the massive amount of resumes, trying to find some gold in the pile.
These job seekers have great talents, and there is really no need to waste them in Kuiguang.
"Master's and PhD from a top domestic university..." Yang Ruoqian continued to flip through the resumes and sighed helplessly, "Is it really necessary to be so competitive? Applicants with a slightly lower level and education level won't even be able to come up, right?"
Copy the polite rejection template, and after rejecting it with one click, there will be a lot fewer emails in your mailbox.
Yang Ruoqian was already a little desperate at this time. What kind of resumes were these? They were all top students, business leaders, and they all had projects with profits of millions or tens of millions. Who would dare to take them?
"Too scary... Look at the resumes below." With the mentality of not letting go of any possible talent, Yang Ruoqian continued to read down.
Among these glittering resumes, Yang Ruoqian suddenly found a candidate who caught his eye.
"The school is an ordinary 211, and the degree is a bachelor's degree... Although it is still very impressive, it is much inferior to the big guys mentioned above. I feel that he is a malleable talent."
"Wait, is it the 211 from fifteen years ago?! An executive of a certain company?! Want to take a pay cut and switch jobs to Lai Kui Guang?!"
He has handled several projects worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and he did not just set the general direction, but personally participated in them.
Yang Ruoqian's pupils trembled. Is Kuiguang some kind of Feng Shui treasure land? Why are all these big guys rushing to come here?
At this time, Yang Ruoqian didn't know what the rumors about Kuiguang Company had become in the outside world.
To sum it up in a few words, the salary is higher than the domestic average, the welfare level is higher than the establishment level, the working hours are theoretically eight hours but actually only six hours, two days off a week, plenty of holidays, a young team, and full of creativity...
The company is in good operating condition, has no debt, has extremely abundant cash flow, has strong risk resistance, and has excellent prospects for future development.
It is also an entertainment company with many beautiful young ladies.
All these factors added together make it appear to outsiders that Kuiguang is a company with a strong growth momentum, the potential to become an industry giant, and the ability to be listed on the stock market.
If you don't join in and provide timely assistance before this company becomes truly big and strong, your development opportunities will not be as great when it becomes successful in the future.
The same resume, if hired now or in the future, may mean the difference between an annual salary of 5 million and 300,000.
For the same reason, even though Yang Ruoqian looked through all the resumes, he still couldn't find the talent he had in mind.
Everyone is very busy and has no time to submit their resume to a position that will never hire them, just like a junior high school dropout will not apply for a university teacher position.
Unless you are really too free and deliberately send in a resume to tease the HR.
Unfortunately, Yang Ruoqian did not meet such an idle person...
"Forget it, it's unreliable. Let's wait for the entrance exam."
The questions in the entrance examination have been strictly reviewed and screened by Yang Ruoqian himself, which is enough to identify which people are the employees the company needs.
The assessment of employees' professional abilities has been completed during the resume screening stage, and the main purpose of the entrance examination is to determine whether the applicants are in line with Kuiguang's core values.
These questions include some views on overtime work, some thoughts on profits and losses, some hypothetical scenario analysis, etc.
There are multiple-choice questions, fill-in-the-blank questions, short-answer questions... everything. As long as you can answer 70% of the questions correctly, you will pass the exam.
In order to prevent someone from finding patterns in the test, Yang Ruoqian also set up many trap questions, so that you can't pass the test by just mindlessly choosing the worst options.
For example, for a question like "What should you do when your direct supervisor asks you to change the plan according to his proposal?", the correct answer is "stick to your own ideas."
But if the question becomes "What should you do when Mr. Yang asks you to change the plan according to his proposal?", the correct option becomes "Change the plan according to what Mr. Yang says."
There are many questions like this, and most of them will not be asked a second time after being asked once. When the results are announced, only the scores are announced without the specific details of the answers.
Therefore, it is extremely difficult to rely on taking multiple exams and doing more exercises to analyze the patterns of the questions.
The examination is divided into three rounds. In the first round, the company will not give applicants any reference materials and they will answer the questions based on their own abilities and judgment.
Applicants who can pass the exam on the first try will be offered a management position.
In the second round of examinations, the company will distribute a book "Thought Guide" before the examination as a reference for applicants. If applicants can pass the examination after reading the "Thought Guide", they can get the position of senior staff.
In the third round of examinations, the company will give the remaining applicants two books, "Employee Code" and "Thought Guidelines", for reference before answering the questions. Applicants who pass the examination will be qualified as interns.
If you fail three exams, unfortunately, Kuiguang Company does not need such employees.
After finalizing the recruitment process, Yang Ruoqian looked at the calendar and said to himself, "It's a new month again. I can recruit another artist and develop a new project."
Lin Cao has been idle for too long, it's time for him to go out and find new artists.
However, Yang Ruoqian did not intend to look for any special artists for this recruitment, because he already had a plan to make a movie, and the newly recruited artists were mainly to play the leading role in a certain role in the movie.
At this time, Shao Yiqi sent a message: "Chengyu asked if you have time this evening?"
Yang Ruoqian assigned Lin Cao the task, opened the chat box with Shao Yiqi, and replied: "Yes, what's the matter?"
"Okay, at 6pm, at that barbecue restaurant, they'll treat you. Didn't you say you had a new movie project? They seem to be impatient."
Yang Ruoqian looked at the message on his phone and his heart ached.
Do we have to come to my little shop to discuss business?
Perhaps these tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars for meals are nothing to the wealthy Chengyu Group, but they can cause great psychological trauma to Yang Ruoqian, who is not wealthy to begin with.
"Okay, see you tonight at six o'clock..."
"Why do you look like you're not in a very good mood?"
Yang Ruoqian was too lazy to pay attention to this chatty classmate. He directly quit WeChat, took the general direction of the film shooting that he had planned a few days ago, and took a car to the barbecue restaurant.
In fact, it is still early for six o'clock in the evening. It's just that Yang Ruoqian arrived at the dinner party just in time last time, which made him feel embarrassed to be thick-skinned to begin with, so he planned to arrive earlier this time.
After parking the car and going to the hotel lobby, Yang Ruoqian made sure that no one from Chengyu Group had arrived yet. He then pulled over a waiter and quietly asked, "Has the dinner been paid for today? If not, I'll pay for it."
The clerk recognized his boss and put on a gentle and professional smile on his face: "Boss Yang, Chengyu always orders the ingredients in advance every time he comes to eat, so he has already paid."
After all, many high-end ingredients cannot be stored for a long time. Even if they are airlifted from the place of origin immediately, it will take at least one day.
This requires advance booking and payment.
All the steps are in compliance... Yang Ruoqian thought about it, but still couldn't find an excuse to let the company pay for it, so he had to give up.
Just as Yang Ruoqian was chatting with the waiter, a strong and loud female voice suddenly came from not far away.
"Clerk, please check out, thank you."
A nearby clerk who was bored and anxious immediately walked over with the bill and said with a smile: "Hello, thank you for your patronage. The original price is 45 yuan, and the discounted price is 4.5 yuan. Do you want to scan the code or pay in cash?"
Hearing about the discount, Yang Ruoqian turned around in surprise and found that it was the man and woman he had seen performing in the hotel last time.
It was a mix of pop, folk, and rap, which sounded a bit rustic, but upon closer listening it was quite catchy and left a deep impression on Yang Ruoqian.
At this moment, Yang Ruoqian was not surprised that someone was actually eating in his own restaurant at a price that was almost free.
The restaurant was originally opened with the intention of making a loss.
He was surprised that someone could actually pull together all the promotions.
Due to the strict restrictions of the system, promotional activities cannot be launched randomly. It is actually not that easy to achieve a 10% discount.
First of all, customers who dine during non-peak dining hours, that is, outside of 12:00-14:00 and 17:30-19:30, can enjoy a 10% discount.
Customers who spend more than 300 yuan in total at the restaurant can enjoy a 10% discount.
Customers who dine at this restaurant for one month will receive a 10% discount.
If there are ingredients that are about to expire, the restaurant may have a special offer of the day with a 10% discount.
If you perform a piano or singing performance in a restaurant that is judged as "qualified" by the computer intelligence, you can get a 20% discount. Each person has only one attempt per day.
Finally, if the performance is not judged as "unqualified" for two consecutive weeks, the restaurant will invite the performer to become a special guest and enjoy a 30% discount.
All the above discounts must be combined to achieve a 10% discount, and it is only available to one person.
It can be said that the right time, right place and right people are all essential.
The two people at the opposite table can pay together, which means they have both reached all the preferential conditions...
It’s quite impressive.
But computer judging can only guarantee that a performance is not unpleasant once.
If you deliberately find a tone-deaf person to sing in a restaurant, it will be considered as passive operation.
Therefore, there must be a means to ensure a minimum quality of performances.
The heroic woman, who looked to be in her early thirties, took out four one-dollar bills and a fifty-cent coin from her pocket and handed them over, looking a little embarrassed: "No, no, it's obviously you who took care of us... Say thank you to your boss for me."
No, I should say thank you to you...
It is precisely because of you that Kuiguang’s catering business has been able to continue to make losses until now and has become the only pillar industry after the collapse of the e-sports project.
Yang Ruoqian, who was leaning against the front desk, complained in his heart.
"Here is the invoice, please keep it." The clerk handed the invoice to the woman, and then said in a very low voice, "The handsome guy standing at the front desk is our boss, his last name is Yang."
Yang Ruoqian didn't care whether his identity remained confidential or not, so the clerk told him directly.
"The owner of the restaurant?"
The woman was already accustomed to restaurants proactively issuing invoices, but at this moment she was more concerned about the "boss" referred to by the waiter.
To be honest, for people like them who travel around various cities performing and earning some money from tips, not only is it difficult to find a place to stay, but even what to eat next often becomes a problem.
The most important thing is that, unlike real homeless people, they still pursue basic decency and dignity.
Such a restaurant not only solves their eating problem, but most importantly, it is decent enough.
The woman thought for a moment, stood up from the chair, walked to Yang Ruoqian, and said politely: "Mr. Yang, I am Wei Ling, hello!"
Yang Ruoqian had no intention of signing this male and female duo at this time, so he nodded and asked casually, "Hello, is the food okay?"
Wei Ling laughed heartily: "Boss Yang, what you said really embarrassed us. Thank you so much, really."
"You are the customers, no need to say thank you." Yang Ruoqian shook his head, "These promotions will always be there, just come more often."
As he spoke, Yang Ruoqian saw through the giant floor-to-ceiling window in front of the store entrance that Cheng Fei and her crew were walking hurriedly out of a black luxury car.
Obviously, he couldn't wait.
Yang Ruoqian gave Wei Ling an apologetic look and said, "My business partner is here. Sorry to bother you. If you need anything, just tell the clerk."
After saying that, Yang Ruoqian walked into the box.
…
Outside, after expressing her gratitude, Wei Ling walked back to her table and asked the man in front of her casually, "How much money have you saved? Is it enough for you to participate in the Sing My Motherland next month?"
The man drank the beer in his glass in one gulp: "That's enough."
"So we'll stay here this month?"
"That's great. I don't really want to leave..."
