The woman sitting in front of Li Xuan has short curly orange-red hair, particularly fair skin, a wide forehead, a round nose, and a few freckles on her cheeks. From her appearance, she is a typical Scottish Celtic. people. ＠＠ǎn＠小＠ said,

Li Xuan browsed the resume carefully prepared by the other party. This Sophie Wise (;s) is really as her name suggests, a standard female academic tyrant. The word comes from ancient Greek and means "wisdom", and the literal translation of the word s into Chinese means "smart".

This smart and intelligent lady graduated from Harvard Business School, then joined Goldman Sachs investment bank and achieved the position of p (vice president) in just two years. Although there are as many Ps in investment banks as dogs, generally newcomers start from anas, and then rise to P. This process usually takes about five years.

You must know that the competition in investment banks is extremely fierce. Famous companies like Goldman Sachs do not accept graduates from prestigious universities at all. And Sophie Wise joined Goldman Sachs with an undergraduate degree, not a master's or doctoral degree. Without enough amazing talent, it is impossible to stand out.

Sophie only worked at Goldman Sachs for two years. After paying off her college loans, she resigned and applied for a BA at Columbia University. After graduating with a BA, Sophie joined Citibank Retail. Knowing that in order to have children last year, she chose to quit her job to be a full-time wife at home.

"I'll call you Sophie. What made you choose to work again? It's been less than a year since you resigned!" Li Xuan asked curiously.

"My husband used to work at MetLife, but he was laid off three months ago. Haven't been able to find a satisfying job yet! And we need to pay off the car loan, the mortgage, and a pair of twins growing up. My husband and I don't have much savings. If I can't get a stable financial income as soon as possible, my entire family will be in trouble!" Sophie's tone was very flat. But there was a trace of sadness in his eyes.

Sophie chose to resign last year because her husband's position in the insurance company is not low, and his income is enough to support their family to live a decent life. But Americans generally have low savings rates, and once you lose your job, you can quickly make ends meet. Sophie and her husband are clearly in such a dilemma.

"If you become my assistant, in addition to dealing with work affairs, I may need you to help me with some life affairs. My wife is four months pregnant, she is a new mother, and We just came to New York again. We are not familiar with this city!" Li Xuan said suddenly.

"Of course, there's nothing wrong with this!" Sophie said quickly, her eyes flashing with joy.

In Sophie's previous interviews, the interviewer's expression was a little noncommittal when she heard that she had twin daughters who had just been born. Although she has repeatedly stated that she will not affect her work because of her family, she has failed without exception in those few appearances. With her previous resume, Sophie knew that if she was still unmarried, the application success rate for those positions would be at least 90%.

The workplace has an invisible ceiling for women like Sophie who have just been promoted to mothers. Most bosses have natural discrimination against young mothers. I don't believe they can handle the relationship between children and work well.

Sophie did not expect that her motherhood this time, instead of becoming a burden, might become a unique advantage to stand out. She was smart and had already heard Li Xuan's voice-over friend, and his wife needed her experience of pregnancy and childbirth in the city of New York.

"I want to know. If your husband finds a satisfying job soon, would you consider quitting your job again and going back to being a stay-at-home mom. After all, you have twin daughters who are under a year old. They I also need you very much! I hope you can answer this question truthfully. I want to hire an assistant with a stable job. Instead of changing the person after half a year or even a few months!" Li Xuan asked seriously.

Sophie knows that this question is very important, and it may be the key to determining whether she can succeed in the job search this time. Not just Li Xuan. All bosses don't want to resign from their newly recruited staff.

So she thought for a while, then raised her head firmly and said, "Sir, I promise not to resign for at least two years. This clause can be written into the employment contract! After previous experiences, my husband and I both think that there may only be two people. Working at the same time will make life more secure. We would rather hire a dedicated nanny to take care of the children!”

Americans rarely live with their parents after starting a family. After the child is born, there will be no plots where grandma or grandmother will help to take care of the child. Therefore, after families in the United States have children, there is usually one person between the husband and wife who is a full-time mother or full-time father at home.

Li Xuan nodded, stood up and shook hands with the other party and said, "Let's be here today, I will notify you within three days of the interview result!"

Li Xuan is quite satisfied with this Sophie Wise. She has experience working in investment banks and commercial banks. In the conversation between the two just now, she gave Li Xuan the impression that she was quick-witted and had a good understanding of Wall Street.

This is exactly what Li Xuan needs, and she has lived in New York for five years and is very familiar with the city. She is also a mother who has just given birth. If she becomes Li Xuan's assistant, she will definitely be able to give Zhong Chuhong a lot. help.

So although Li Xuan didn't give the other party a clear answer just now, he actually chose her to be his new assistant in his heart. As for Li Xuan's former assistant Ke Lilun, this time he did not follow him to New York, but continued to stay in Hong Kong as Li Xuan's representative, responsible for communicating with the group's headquarters.

A week after Li Xuan arrived in New York, there was finally news from Hong Kong that "God of Fortune Li" went to study in the United States. As the representative of Li Xuan, Ke Lilun was interviewed by Asia TV for the first time.

Ke Lilun denied Li Xuan's statement that he went to study in the United States, but only admitted that his boss felt that his knowledge reserve was insufficient, and he planned to study ba (senior executive MBA) at Columbia University. Studying abroad and further education are two completely different concepts. The latter is just a kind of self-charging, and will not give up the daily management of the company.

"Actually, this was Li Sheng's plan a long time ago. As we all know, Li Sheng dropped out of CUHK before graduating from University. Li Sheng said that this has always been a regret in his life. As he grew older, Li Sheng gradually felt his own lack of ability.

So Li Sheng came up with the idea of ​​self-charging, and the ba course was obviously a very bad choice. On the premise of not affecting the decision-making of participating in the daily affairs of the Oriental Group, improve the self-management level through professional training! "

Collin said to the camera, "Li Sheng chose Columbia University because New York, which is the center of the world's business, finance and journalism, has given Columbia an incomparable advantage to many other schools. For example, a large number of world-class companies have Based in New York, this provides the most authentic business and market 'lab' for study programs.

In fact, even the private jet that Li Sheng just bought not long ago is part of his training plan. After all, Li Sheng will often travel between New York and Hong Kong in the future. Having his own plane can make his itinerary more free. If there is an emergency on the Hong Kong side, he can rush back to Hong Kong as soon as possible! "

The dǐng luxury act of spending more than 400 million Hong Kong dollars to buy a private jet was described as a last resort work need by Ke Lilun.

The news that Li Xuan went to the United States for further studies still caused quite a stir in Hong Kong. Many see his move as a deliberate attempt to avoid right and wrong at a sensitive time when Sino-British talks are deadlocked. After all, as the most influential Hong Kong businessman in the world, Li Xuan is likely to be involved in the political struggle between China and the UK and be forced to make a statement.

Of course, there are also a small number of people who believe that this is the prelude to Li Xuan's preparation to become a US citizen and transfer his assets to the US. Fortunately, this view is not the mainstream view. At least the most sensitive and vulnerable Hong Kong stock market did not react too negatively to the fact that Li Xuan went to the United States to study.

Not long ago ~www.readwn.com~ Oriental Group invested heavily in industries in the Mainland, and just spent another US$300 million in Hong Kong to prepare for the construction of its headquarters building. This makes most Hong Kong people believe that Li Xuan is still optimistic about the future prospects of Hong Kong.

Li Xuan, who was far away in the United States, also breathed a sigh of relief after learning about the reaction of Hong Kong society. You must know that 1983 was definitely the most turbulent year in Hong Kong in the 1980s. And Li Xuan's performance against the sky in recent years has made him very influential in Hong Kong society.

Now happens to be the most critical moment in the Sino-British negotiations, and neither Zhongnan-Hai nor Downing Street are willing to make concessions. If the news of the world's richest man fleeing from Hong Kong suddenly came out at this time, it would definitely trigger panic in the whole of Hong Kong society. This will undoubtedly help the British a lot and put great political pressure on the Chinese government.

Li Xuan is naturally not stupid enough to be such a villain, so he has been carefully guiding public opinion. Previously, the news of Oriental Company's large-scale investment in the Mainland was hotly hyped, and the Group's public relations department was behind it. Afterwards, Li Xuan added fuel to the fire by throwing out plans to build a headquarters building, which made him even more optimistic about Hong Kong's future.

This gave Li Xuan a chance to escape from Hong Kong. If it weren't for his actions in the United States in the next six months, which would be very critical to the future development of Dongfang Electronics, he would never leave Hong Kong at this sensitive time. (To be continued..)
