When Zhong Yutong heard Wu Changfeng ask if he wanted to pull off a heist, he was immediately filled with excitement:
"Brother, you don't like Boss Chen either, right? Let's do it! You find a sack, put it over him, I'll carry it and leave. Damn it, I won't be satisfied until I break one of his arms!"
Wu Changfeng quickly pulled Zhong Yutong aside to quiet down for a moment: "You misunderstood. What I meant was, poach Boss Chen's technicians!"
"Huh? Why are you digging him up? To eat our steamed buns?"
Wu Changfeng was somewhat exasperated: "Talent! That's real talent! An absolute asset in market competition!"
Zhong Yutong scratched his head: "I understand what you're saying, but the problem is, would they even be interested in our small factory? We can't afford the salary."
Wu Changfeng thought about it and agreed.
That technician was clearly a high achiever; his thinking was clear and his technical skills were obvious.
Such talent likely comes from Hong Kong or Taiwan, and their compensation must be top-notch.
The submersible motor factory appointed technicians as factory managers, but it's hard to say whether they would even listen to them.
But Wu Changfeng didn't take it seriously and was very confident.
Wu Changfeng thought for a moment and said, "There's no oyster that won't open its mouth, and no wall that can't be dug up. I'll take you with me on this!"
Zhong Yutong said quietly, "You might as well help me think of a way to get the debt back."
Wu Changfeng laughed in anger: "Even the government has a headache with triangular debt. Anyway, the debt won't disappear into thin air, and we'll get it back sooner or later."
The two were so drunk they were staggering, and when they got back to the hotel, they fell asleep without even taking off their clothes.
The next day.
After breakfast, the two went fishing at the beach, enjoying a rare moment of leisure.
Around 4 p.m., Wu Changfeng and Zhong Yutong squatted down below the Yuanhang Company building.
The crowd of people leaving get off work began to pour out, and the technician also came out.
Wu Changfeng waved his hand, and the two followed closely behind the technician.
Upon arriving at a high-end residential complex, the technicians entered a room on the second floor.
Zhong Yutong clicked his tongue in disbelief: "Damn, this neighborhood is too luxurious!"
Wu Changfeng nodded in agreement: "If I remember correctly, this is the first residential property in the country that can be bought and sold privately."
in the country at this time, real estate was still a non-existent concept.
It took about two years before the real estate was officially opened to private individuals.
Individuals can now also buy houses with their own money.
Nowadays, most residential housing is built by the government or enterprises and allocated to employees.
Even in later generations, some residential areas are still named: XXX Factory Residential Area, XXX Government Agency Residential Area.
"Go buy some fruit baskets. Don't carry a big bag of fruit; it doesn't look good," Wu Changfeng instructed.
Zhong Yutong muttered, "The fruit baskets are all a scam; they're not good value at all."
"Go on, stop talking too much nonsense."
After waiting for a while, Wu Changfeng knocked on the technician's door with a fruit basket in hand.
"Technician Huo, right? Hello, we've met before," Wu Changfeng said with a smile.
"Oh, it's Boss Wu." Huo Jiaqi didn't let the two into the house, but instead blocked the doorway: "What brings you here?"
"The stuff is too heavy, let's put it in the house first." Wu Changfeng squeezed in.
Huo Jiaqi had never seen such a shameless person. He hadn't even invited you in, so why were you still squeezing in?
He looked annoyed and told the two to sit down, without making tea or pouring water.
Just watch.
Wu Changfeng smiled and praised the neighborhood for being beautiful, and also complimented how clean the house was.
Huo Jiaqi replied, "Is there anything I can help you with, Mr. Wu?"
"Nothing much, just came to check. Do you know this gentleman?" Wu Changfeng pointed to Zhong Yutong.
Huo Jiaqi shook his head: "I don't remember."
"He was an employee of the submersible motor factory."
"Oh." Huo Jiaqi nodded: "We have a cooperative relationship with Shenshui Electric Machinery Factory, so we can be considered sister companies."
The two then chatted about some past events.
Zhong Yutong tried several times to bring up the matter of the debt, hoping that Huo Jiaqi could resolve it.
But Wu Changfeng's frequent glares really put you in a bind.
This is not the right occasion to discuss this.
Besides, he's not the boss, why should he care about your trivial matters?
Wu Changfeng asked, "Technician Huo, where did you graduate from?"
"I went to Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and then I went to Hong Kong and Taiwan to pursue my postgraduate studies."
"Wow, such a high level of education! I'm so envious. Why don't you work in a research institution?"
Huo Jiaqi clearly didn't want to talk about this, and stammered out a few words.
Wu Changfeng understood that this was a common problem, so he didn't say anything.
"Your salary must be quite high now, right?"
Huo Jiaqi felt a little embarrassed: "I don't have much ability, I just take a salary. The boss appreciates my talent. This accommodation was provided by the boss."
Wu Changfeng understood: a technician who just collects a salary!
Wu Changfeng estimated that the salary should be quite high, probably on par with those in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
If converted, it would be roughly between 3,000 and 5,000.
Compared to the mainland, this is a salary that makes one's scalp crawl.
We chatted for a while.
Wu Changfeng and Zhong Yutong took their leave.
Huo Jiaqi was completely dumbfounded. After chatting about a lot of everyday things, he left.
Is something wrong or not?
Once outside the residential compound, Zhong Yutong was also bewildered: "Wait, why did we leave? We haven't even discussed the important matters yet."
"Like boiling a frog in lukewarm water, take it slow."
This matter can't be rushed. If we just go up and poach people without hesitation, and succeed every time, what use will headhunting companies be in the future?
These past few days, the two have been wandering around during the day, eating, drinking, and having fun.
This really put Zhong and Tongle through the wringer, as they didn't have to spend a single penny of their own money and could play as much as they wanted.
That's incredibly extravagant!
In the evening, I'll go to Huo Jiaqi's house for a while, chat idly, and slowly move towards poaching people.
