Chapter 368: Recruiting People in a Crazy Manner
Ever since he was put under pressure from his superiors for his "poor performance" in the last variety show, Xiao Cheng, who originally treated recruiting as a business trip at public expense, has changed his previous carelessness and regarded this variety show as a major event in his life.
It's no wonder that he is so nervous - I heard that the company's headquarters was severely humiliated by the Kuiguang Group recently. Now the relationship between the two sides is not to say that they respect each other, but at least they are incompatible.
Because of this incident, I heard that there was a major purge within the senior management of Yuefu Group, and many senior executives left in this purge.
This even includes Zheng Wei-neng, who is in charge of the entire live broadcast business...
Although the live broadcast department has not been well received within the group due to profitability issues, Zheng Weneng's position is much higher than Xiao Cheng's.
Zheng Wei was able to leave yesterday, and Xiao Cheng can also leave tomorrow.
But fortunately, in the last two episodes, Lu Shuyuan quickly pressed the rejection button, so Xiao Cheng could choose people with confidence without causing much trouble.
Although the process is very bizarre - the guests on the scene often fall into a horrific cycle of if you don't move, I move, if you move, I move too, if you move, I immediately stop for some unknown reason.
The guests at the scene were different from before, all exuding a strange feeling, with Kui Guang, Gao Yao and Yue Fu being the worst.
Now Xiao Cheng just hopes that Mr. Lu can make a decision quickly and not wait until the last second before pressing the button like he did the first time he recruited.
Yang Ruoqian grabbed a handful of melon seeds and asked curiously, "Why does Xiao Cheng look so weird... He wasn't like this in the first episode."
"I don't know." Chang Zhiqing shook her head. "I heard that things have been going on in Yuefu Group recently, and many former executives have been fired... Maybe it's because of this? He's afraid he'll be fired, so he's too nervous to sleep well?"
"It's possible. It's not a good feeling to be told by the company that you don't need to go back after a business trip." Yang Ruoqian agreed with Chang Zhiqing's opinion, "But why did Yuefu Group suddenly lay off employees? Is it because the financial report is not good?"
Yuefu Group is a listed company and has to disclose its financial statements. I haven’t heard of any major news happening.
After being reborn, Yang Ruoqian was very cautious and did not try to use his past life experience to trade stocks.
As it turned out, he was absolutely right - the stock of a certain winery that had skyrocketed in the previous life was basically in a lukewarm state here, fluctuating up and down with little volatility, and even had a small loss.
The same is true for the shares of other companies. Some have skyrocketed, some have plummeted, and there is no pattern at all.
Mr. Yang has no idea about his business ability, but he has some knowledge of his stock trading ability - as long as he enters the A-share market, he won't be able to get out without losing a lot of money.
That's all my money! If I lose my money, there's no system to help me get reimbursed!
Chang Zhiqing shook her head again: "I don't know, this is their company's business, who can tell me?"
"Who cares... Yuefu Group's affairs have nothing to do with us." Yang Ruoqian was too lazy to care about it, "Let's continue watching the variety show."
“…”
On the big screen, the first job applicant walked out confidently. He was wearing a suit and his face looked very young, but he had a more middle-aged hairstyle.
The host walked up with the microphone and said with a smile: "Let us welcome this job seeker from xx, Lu Kai, welcome!"
"Hello, host, and hello, guests."
Lu Kai held the microphone and spoke in Mandarin with a slight accent.
"Very good, let's start the first introduction video." The host smiled and pointed to the big screen behind him, "Please come in!"
Soon, the first video began playing.
The scene begins with a study, and the job seeker himself is in the deepest part of the study, holding a brush and writing something stroke by stroke on the rice paper on the table.
Above his head, there was a piece of writing very sloppily that read "Feel at Home", but the words that looked like "Women's Treasure" were very conspicuous.
But ignoring this detail, this opening scene can barely be considered qualified...
As the guests were thinking this, Lu Kai's unique accent was played over the loud speaker: "I am a genius."
After these words were spoken, even though the video was still playing, the entire variety show scene seemed to be frozen.
The experienced leaders were speechless for a moment and couldn't believe their ears.
What the hell?!
Are there still people who dare to call themselves geniuses in public these days? Even if they are "geniuses" in the true sense, who have had excellent grades since childhood, have been admitted to prestigious universities and prestigious majors at a young age, and have won numerous awards in various competitions, they have to be very cautious when saying this on this show.
Because these guests are not teachers, nor are they engaged in academics... they are businessmen.
A "genius" in learning may not necessarily be able to do business well - unless the boss happens to be in urgent need of an actuary or an employee who specializes in a certain technology.
Otherwise, if you say you are a genius, it is very easy to be ridiculed by others.
"Maybe he really has some talent." Yang Ruoqian threw a melon seed into his mouth and commented with interest, "I envy those geniuses in the class."
"Come on, when we were in school, we were already among the 'geniuses' in our class."
The score is enough to get into a key university, and even in a very good high school, it is at least in the top ten.
"At most, he is a top student, not a genius..." Yang Ruoqian pointed at the confident job seeker on the screen, "Let's see what a true genius looks like. He dares to speak so arrogantly in front of so many big bosses and so many audiences. He should have some level of talent, right?"
People in the comments were also speculating about this person's background... Was he a top student from a prestigious domestic university or an international student from a prestigious international university?
However, what he said next immediately silenced everyone.
"I am from xx Arts and Crafts Institute..."
As soon as these words came out, not only did Mr. Yang in front of the screen show a shocked expression, but even the guests who seemed to be sitting on the top of the mountain, at least on the surface, had some ugly looks on their faces.
For Mr. Yang himself, he actually doesn’t attach much importance to academic qualifications - the Kuiguang Group does not care about academic qualifications. As long as they can lose money, they are good employees. The ratio of highly educated and low educated people in the company is almost 50-50.
He does not have much discrimination based on academic qualifications, but for someone who only has a technical secondary school diploma but calls himself a "genius" is a bit too confused about his position.
As soon as these words were spoken, Yang Ruoqian guessed that this person must be the kind of ungrateful job seeker arranged by the program team to create a show effect.
Specially designed to raise the blood pressure of the audience and guests.
The rest of the video is all self-boasting and boasting about being a "genius". There is no mention of his academic performance, academic achievements, work experience, or work results.
However, after the video ended, all the guests did not turn off the lights, which was rare.
But from their expressions, it can be seen that the reason for not turning off the lights is very simple - these guests want more time to "criticize" Lu Kai.
The host saw that all the guests on the stage were in the "pending" state, and immediately smiled and said, "Very good, congratulations to this job seeker for not being rejected in the first round of screening... Then we will move on to the additional session, where all the guests can have a three-minute conversation with the job seeker."
"Please welcome the first teacher!"
The first person to speak was naturally the CEO of Gaoyao Group. He said very impolitely: "Dear job seeker, I have a question. Please tell us what genius is. Please define it first."
Lu Kai answered very quickly: "I think the definition of a genius is that even after 200 years, the world can still remember you... But this definition is too strict, and few people can achieve it, so I relaxed some of the conditions. Anyone who can win the Nobel Prize is considered a genius."
Gaoyao Group has participated in this program several times. The CEO also reviewed the content of previous variety shows. At this time, his mood was relatively stable: "I have finished asking questions. I don't think I have anything else to say. Please invite the next guest."
After saying that, he pressed the "Reject" button.
The second guest also asked some questions, made some subtle ridicule about academic qualifications and schools, and also pressed the reject button.
The third person in line was Lu Shuyuan. She remembered Yang Ruoqian's instructions at this time. There was no nervousness on her face. She just asked with a little curiosity: "What is the book in your hand?"
Lu Kai immediately took the booklet in his hand and said proudly: "This is the 'Secret Book of Genius'. I wrote down the process of becoming a genius. As long as you think and act according to this book, you can become a genius."
Lu Shuyuan nodded gently: "Host, can you let us take a look at this book?"
The host was very good at livening up the atmosphere. He immediately agreed, took the book from Lu Kai and put it in Lu Shuyuan's hands.
Lu Shuyuan glanced at it briefly, without any change in her expression. After thirty or forty seconds, she suddenly looked up and said, "There is a hard target on this book. Lu Kai said he plans to win a Nobel Prize to prove the correctness of this book."
"Well, I have finished what I want to say. Please let the next guest speak."
For the sake of program effect, the guest from Kuiguang Group naturally sits next to the guest from Yuefu Group, Xiao Cheng.
When Xiao Cheng heard that "genius" theory, he actually wanted to turn off the lights.
But considering the show effect and the "what if" situation of Kuiguang Group, he resisted the urge to turn off the lights.
After all, if he made another mistake, he would most likely receive a letter of dismissal from the company.
For the sake of your future, the best way is to think more, look more, and make careful decisions.
When making a decision subconsciously, you must "think about it" and see what Lu Shuyuan has done! Sure enough, after Lu Shuyuan finished her speech, she did not choose to turn off the light, but remained in the "pending" state.
Fortunately, he didn't fall for it! Xiao Cheng didn't dare to neglect it. He thought about it and asked a question first: "Lü Kai, how old are you this year?"
Lu Kai replied: "I am 39 years old this year."
"39 years old..." Xiao Cheng suppressed the urge to turn off the light again and nodded, "How long do you think it will take you to win the Nobel Prize?"
"If I have 10 million in my hand, I am confident that I can get it within three years." Lu Kai said very seriously, "This is for start-up and research and development funds."
Research funding... That's nonsense! But, since Lu Shuyuan still has the light on, it means that this matter is not simple... What is not simple? Xiao Cheng doesn't know, but Lu Shuyuan, as a veteran of Kuiguang Group, must know! She is a person who is equal to or even better than his boss. Her ability to accept fate in personnel matters is even better than that of the CEO of Gaoyao Group. Following her judgment must be right.
Xiao Cheng resisted the urge to shake his head and allowed the next guest to continue asking questions without getting anxious.
Soon, a round of questioning ended, but only one person turned off the light!
The video quickly entered the next round of playback.
really!
Looking at other people's choices, Xiao Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief - everyone made the same choice, which meant that this job applicant really had some unusual qualities.
Maybe it is hidden in the details of the first video... Just because he didn't notice it doesn't mean Lu Shuyuan didn't notice it.
What exactly did Lu Shuyuan and the Kuiguang Group behind her see in Lu Kai?
Could it be... Could it be that they believe that Lu Kai can really exchange 10 million for a Nobel Prize? !
If it were in any other situation, let alone someone with a technical secondary school diploma, he wouldn't believe it even if a graduate student from a prestigious university said this.
But the problem is that now it seems that Kuiguang Group believes it! Kuiguang Group is best at turning "impossible" into "possible". How many people in the industry have said that it is impossible, but Kuiguang Group has finally done it? In terms of probability, the chance of a newly established domestic film company winning the highest award at the three major film festivals for its first film is close to zero.
Based on experience, knowledge, and everything else, Xiao Cheng was certain that Lu Kai had no chance of winning the Nobel Prize... But, the one who made this decision was Kuiguang Group! How many seniors in the company were fired because they didn't believe in evil? If, if he missed a future Nobel Prize winner on this show, what would happen to Xiao Cheng? !
The more Xiao Cheng thought about it, the more scared he became. He felt that there was a terrible conspiracy behind Lu Shuyuan's calm expression, so he pressed the "Like" button without even finishing watching the video.
Ding! As soon as the option representing "favorite" lit up at the Yuefu Group seat, Lu Shuyuan didn't hesitate for even a second and directly pressed the reject button.
Now, she is just a tool who faithfully follows the boss's procedures and rejects all job seekers who are wanted by others.
Boom! Following Lu Shuyuan's action, the other guests made their decisions at the same time, almost as if they had agreed on it.
Boom! Boom! Boom…
Rejection, all rejection.
The situation, which was very good more than ten seconds ago, instantly turned into a situation where Yuefu Group was the only dominant force.
The host looked at this scene, nodded and smiled, "Very good, there is only one guest who chose 'favorite'... Then let's go directly to the last step, and ask Teacher Xiao to give the position and salary!"
Xiao Cheng was completely stunned: "???"
