King of Industry

  Chapter 354 Interview

  After chatting for a while, Zhao Guoyang figured it out. Wang Zecheng and Xie Yiman, a pair of top students at the University of Pennsylvania, were both representatives of international students who were depressed after returning to China.

  After they graduated, they could have stayed in the United States to find a good job. Wang Zecheng even negotiated a salary with a Fortune 500 company, even immigration is not a problem.

  But because Xie Yiman's family members disagreed with her working and living abroad, the two who missed their elders could only compromise and return to China.

   Originally, the two thought that with their diplomas, it would be easy to find a job in China.

  But when they returned to China, they realized that things were far from as simple as they imagined.

  The title of Master of Business Administration, although it is enough to bluff around the world, it can be regarded as a stepping stone for senior management talents in enterprises.

However, in the early 1990s, domestic enterprises still had a lot of deficiencies in talent recruitment. Most financial enterprises did not have the awareness of recruiting MBAs. Even if they were willing to recruit, they could not reuse them all at once. understandable.

  After listening to Wang Zecheng and Xie Yiman's complaints, Zhao Guoyang smiled and said: "The foreign environment is still very different from the domestic environment. MBA is not so popular in China right now."

  MBA is the abbreviation for Master of Business Administration abroad. In this era, few people in China know about it.

  After Zhao Guoyang uttered this noun, Wang Zecheng and Xie Yiman showed hope on their faces.

Xie Yiman glanced at his boyfriend, and said to Zhao Guoyang with some pleas: "Mr. Zhao, can you...can you give Zecheng a chance? He was very good at school and won many times. scholarship."

  Zhao Guoyang shrugged noncommittally, and said calmly: "Miss Xie doesn't say anything, I can guess it. The confidence in Mr. Wang's words and deeds has fully proved this point..."

   "However, learning homework well is not the same thing as working ability. Whether Mr. Wang is the talent I need, I think I still have to go through an interview."

  Zhao Guoyang glanced at Wang Zecheng and said: "Mr. Wang, if you don't mind, I want to interview you now. If you can pass my assessment, then my foreign trade company will definitely have a place for you!"

   "Ah, really? This is really great!" Wang Zeben had already given up hope, but now he was overjoyed to hear what Zhao Guoyang said.

  Zhao Guoyang nodded, and said with certainty: "Mr. Wang, please rest assured, I pay attention to what I do. Since I have promised you, I will not go back on my word. In addition..."

  When Zhao Guoyang said this, he suddenly paused, which made the faces of the two people listening to him froze slightly, for fear that he might have some problems.

Seeing the nervousness of the two, Zhao Guoyang pressed his hands together, and said in a harmonious voice: "Don't be nervous, you two. What I mean is that my Xingtai International Foreign Trade Company has just started, and a master of business administration may not be too old. enough."

   "So if Ms. Xie has no objection, I would like to invite you for an interview. I don't know what Ms. Xie thinks?"

  Zhao Guoyang's words immediately made Wang Zecheng and Xie Yiman very happy.

  Xie Yiman nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, thank you Mr. Zhao for giving us this opportunity!"

  Zhao Guoyang chuckled, waved his hands, and turned to greet the beautiful stewardess, telling them to sit here first.

  The stewardess, who can see clearly, will of course agree to the request of Zhao Guoyang, a distinguished guest.

   However, the promise is yes, but the stewardess herself has no intention of leaving.

  After all, this kind of opportunity to interview such high-level talents is very rare.

  The beautiful stewardess felt that she could gain a lot of insight by seeing it with her own eyes, and maybe she could become a talking point in the future.

  Following, Zhao Guoyang waved his hand, motioning for Wang Zecheng and Xie Yiman to sit beside him.

  Looking at the nervous two people, he smiled slightly, made a gesture of "Be safe and don't be impatient", and spoke out the interview questions in a calm sentence.

   "Mr. Wang, Ms. Xie, I think you don't know much about the Xingtai International Foreign Trade Company I founded. Because it is just a new company that has just been established for less than half a month."

   “The question I want to ask you is, for such a business that you don’t know anything about, what do you want it to look like in three years’ time?”

  Under the gaze of Zhao Guoyang, Wang Zecheng was the first to answer this question.

  He considered it for a while, and then said: "Mr. Zhao, because I don't know much about your company's situation for the time being, so I don't dare to make too high a prediction."

"Since it is a foreign trade company, the key point to evaluate the company's development and scale is the annual trade volume. I hope that after we join, within three years, the company's trade volume will quadruple this year. I believe that Yiman and I It's totally possible to do that!"

  After Wang Zecheng finished speaking, Zhao Guoyang nodded and turned his gaze to Xie Yiman.

  Different from Wang Zecheng, Xie Yiman's answer is more conservative.

  She just said that she hopes that through hard work, she can improve her personal abilities step by step in the company, and then strive to become an independent talent in two years.

   After the two of them finished answering this question, Zhao Guoyang secretly nodded in his heart.

  In his opinion, Wang Zecheng's enterprising spirit is worth encouraging, and Xie Yiman is a more pragmatic and steady type of talent.

  The complementarity between these two enables them to exert the effect of "one plus one is greater than two".

  Next, Zhao Guoyang asked a few more random questions, and basically both of them gave satisfactory answers.

  After a while of silence, Zhao Guoyang asked himself the last question.

   "Mr. Wang, Ms. Xie, I also want to ask you, if you join the company, what kind of planning goals do you have in the next five years?"

  Wang Zecheng hesitated for a moment, but said honestly: "Mr. Zhao, after five years, I hope to become a member of the company's top management through my own efforts."

Xie Yiman thought for a while and said: "Five years later, if I am in charge of the business, I hope that the performance can be more than three times that of this year. If I am not assigned to a business position, I hope to become a middle-level cadre of the company. The backbone among them has a pivotal position in the team..."

   Zhao Guoyang was very satisfied with the two people's answers neither humble nor overbearing.

  He nodded approvingly, and immediately expressed his opinion: "Very good, I am very satisfied with the answers of Mr. Wang and Miss Xie. Congratulations, both of you have been admitted."

  Wang Zecheng and Xie Yiman seemed dumbfounded when they heard the words. It's so simple, can they pass the test?

  Zhao Guoyang smiled at the astonishment of the two, and continued: "As for the salary and treatment, please rest assured. Although it is temporarily impossible to meet the salary standards of some large companies in the United States, it is definitely first-class in the industry in China."

   "In terms of annual salary, it will not be less than 40,000 yuan. In addition, if the performance is outstanding, the bonus at the end of the year will not be less..."

  When they heard the figure of "40,000 yuan", Wang Zecheng and Xie Yiman looked at me and I looked at you, and they couldn't believe it.

   During this period of time, they encountered a lot of cold nails in China. Those companies did not give them more than 10,000 yuan in treatment, and many of them treated them as ordinary college students.

   Unexpectedly, this young Mr. Zhao would be so forthright and generous, directly offering four times the price, which made Wang Zecheng and Xie Yiman feel as if they were in a dream.

  Even the beautiful stewardess on the side, hearing this number, was secretly stupefied with envy.

Raising his hand to look at the time, Zhao Guoyang thought for a while and said, "How about this, please write down my phone number. When you get to the capital, find a place to live first. Later, after I finish my work, let's sit down and have a good talk. What do you two think about specific work matters?"

   "Okay, okay, everything is under Mr. Zhao's orders!" Wang Zecheng was about to say some words of thanks, but was stopped by Xie Yiman next to him.

   "Mr. Zhao, Ze Chengcheng and I will not disturb your rest for now. We will tell you as soon as we settle down in the capital!" Xie Yiman said wisely.

  Zhao Guoyang nodded with a smile, and watched the two get out of the first-class cabin.

  …

  At about two o'clock in the morning, the plane landed safely at the Beijing Airport with a huge roar.

  As the only passenger sitting in the first-class cabin, Zhao Guoyang was naturally guided by the stewardess, and was the first to get off the plane.

   Before reaching the exit, Zhao Guoyang saw someone outside holding a sign with both hands high, which read - "Researcher Zhao" in four big characters.

  Seeing this sign, Zhao Guoyang immediately felt relieved.

   Needless to say, this must be the person Minister Fang Xuesen arranged to pick up the plane.

   Zhao Guoyang's expression has already caught the eyes of the pick-up person from the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry. He has just walked this way, and he has already trotted all the way to meet him.

   "You are Researcher Zhao, right? I've seen the photo given by Minister Fang, so it should be right!" A well-built and capable Xiaopingtou said to Zhao Guoyang politely.

   "It's me, I'm Zhao Guoyang, may I ask who you are?" Zhao Guoyang nodded in response.

Xiao Pingtou quickly introduced himself: "Researcher Zhao, hello, I am Huang Chunsheng from the First Division of the General Administration of the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry. You can call me Xiao Huang. Minister Fang asked me to pick you up to the guest house in the Ministry. Room Everything is ready."

  After hearing Xiaopingtou's self-introduction, Zhao Guoyang nodded secretly.

  Although the crew cut looks quite young, he might be the deputy director of this department.

   You must know that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the ministries and commissions of the capital city, and there are a lot of cadres at the department and deputy division level who are less than 30, so it is not surprising.

  Thinking of this, Zhao Guoyang quickly shook hands with Xiaopingtou and said: "Director Huang, hello, hello. I'm sorry to trouble you to come here so late..."

  As the so-called bridal sedan chairs are carried by everyone, although Minister Fang invited him to help, Zhao Guoyang also gave enough respect to Director Huang who came to pick up the plane.
