Rebirth of the Rich Second Generation's Growth Diary

Chapter 197 Recruitment
Nowadays, the childishness that is unique to college students can no longer be seen on An Duoduo's face.

She is still young, beautiful and charming, but beneath this appearance lies a resilience that should not be underestimated.

She's been incredibly busy lately. Three projects are running simultaneously at the company.

According to Li Xu's previous plan, these projects involve automotive chips and sensors.

Although there are no direct profit points in these areas at present, no one doubts Li Xu's strategic vision. Even the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission has completely delegated authority to Li Xu and never interferes.

Li Xu proposed a strategic direction: the next ten years will be a decade of rapid development for domestically produced electric vehicles.

This was originally a major national policy. As a startup, they naturally couldn't directly get involved in manufacturing.

However, as long as you can build your own technological moat in the upstream of the entire industry chain, it will be enough to stand firm in the next wave.

One must eat one bite at a time. As long as one has the technology and capital, and dedicates oneself to this field, the future is promising.

For newly recruited technical engineers, there isn't much difference between doing R&D at Li Xu's company and working in a university laboratory.

The research topic was determined by Li Xu; all they needed to do was focus on their work.

The company currently has healthy cash flow and a stable cash flow. Even if it cannot achieve great results in the short term, the company can continue to operate healthily.

Li Xu knew that all they needed was a catalyst, and that catalyst would be brought about by the tide of the times, and it wouldn't be long before it arrived.

Once everything in the company is on track, it doesn't actually need too many people.

Under Li Xu's arrangement, An Duoduo gradually took over the position of CFO, while Shen Mobai gradually became idle.

Li Xu's arrangement was certainly not intended to kick Shen Mobai out. On the contrary, Shen Mobai's steadfastness and reliability put Li Xu at ease.

In reality, Li Xu didn't expect someone like Shen Mobai to do things for him for the rest of his life.

Many top students from Tsinghua and Peking Universities, even if they work for a large company for a while, often choose to start their own businesses in the end.

Shen Mobai may have such a day in the future, but right now his experience is definitely not enough. He needs more challenges to further hone his abilities.

At present, Sunrise Intelligent Technology has actually passed the stage where it has the highest financial requirements.

For Shen Mobai, the company's operations could be handled by hiring two or three college graduates, training them for a period of time, and getting them familiar with the basic finances.

He felt somewhat empty.

Even without An Duoduo gradually handing over her work, Shen Mobai now only needs to check the reports once or twice a week.

He found the job so simple that he was bored. To outsiders, Shen Mobai was already someone to be envied.

After all, Shen Mobai's position in the company is second only to An Duoduo, Ye Ruida and other veterans. He has shares and stock options.

Judging from the current development, this company's IPO is almost a certainty, and achieving financial freedom is probably not too far off.

As a third-year student, even though I'm at a top university like Tsinghua or Peking University, this is still something to be very envious of.

Only Shen Mobai himself did not look forward to this kind of life. For an ambitious person, someone who yearns to constantly improve himself, such a life would only feel bland and boring.

As the holiday approached, Shen Mobai arrived at the company again, opened the latest financial statements, and was carefully checking them when Li Xu suddenly called.

Li Xu on the other end of the phone didn't waste any time, simply asking, "Are you ready on your end?"

Shen Mobai was immediately delighted. Li Xu had told him before that the company there had a more complex financial situation and involved more diverse issues, including all the problems and difficulties of a mature large company. He believed that he could learn more by working there.

Shen Mobai no longer cares about material rewards. He knows very well that if he really leaves the company in the future to start his own business, the experience he has had in a large company will be a very valuable asset.

What are the drawbacks of a mature, large company? What potential problems might it pose? Only through experience can one truly understand. Shen Mobai now has a thorough understanding of startups, but he still needs to further explore what a company at a certain stage of development is like.

Li Xu is now providing just such a platform. Moreover, Shen Mobai naturally knows that Li Xu needs him to go there, and the problems he will face may not be easy, but the more difficult the problems, the more excited he becomes.

As long as it's financial, he's confident that even if he doesn't understand the ins and outs right away, given a little time, he can provide Li Xu with plenty of help.

So when Li Xu called, Shen Mobai said without hesitation, "I'm ready anytime, just waiting for your call."

Li Xu chuckled and said, "Our branch office will be hiring two finance staff in a couple of days. You can come and apply then."

Shen Mobai said with some doubt, "You're the CEO now, can't you just arrange things for me directly?"

Li Xu paused for a moment, then said somewhat seriously, "The situation is a bit more complicated than you think. My idea is that it's best not to let too many people know about our relationship."

Although Shen Mobai is an employee of his own company in the capital, it is difficult to find out this without deliberate investigation. After all, Xuri Zhike is not a listed company, and Shen Mobai is not a senior executive. His information cannot be found in public information.

Upon hearing Li Xu's arrangement, Shen Mobai immediately understood something. After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his voice and asked, "What do you need me to do?"

Li Xu said, "I won't let you do anything dangerous. Right now, I've just arrived at this branch, and I can't see too many problems with the financial statements. There are some abnormalities that would definitely require specific financial personnel to spot. You are very capable, so once you join our company, you just need to help me keep an eye out for anything abnormal."

Although Li Xu spoke casually, Shen Mobai clearly felt an atmosphere similar to "Infernal Affairs," which was incredibly exciting.

He imagined himself as Andy Lau, coughed twice, and asked, "When should I report for duty?"

Li Xu simply replied, "Just wait for my message."

……

Manager Cai was somewhat angry when he received the two resignation letters.

One of the reports was insignificant; it concerned a newly promoted intern who resigned after passing the civil service exam in his hometown.

Manager Cai felt it didn't matter, and the other party wasn't of much value.

But the other person was a manager.

To be honest, the other person's resignation itself isn't that important; after all, a wise bird chooses a better tree to perch on, which is perfectly understandable. The problem is that this manager possesses quite a few secrets related to me.

Of course, some things are just numbers to that manager, and you can't see the clues without comparison.

Therefore, Manager Cai was not worried that the other party would cause him any unnecessary trouble, but because there were some inconvenient things to do that had become a habit, he would have to readjust to the new person, which would be troublesome.

So when the other party submitted his resignation, Manager Cai did not agree immediately, but kept him in the office for more than an hour to talk.

Manager Cai was having a headache. The other party was determined to leave, but the reasons given were vague and ambiguous.

At this moment, Manager Cai had already inserted five cigarettes into the ashtray in front of him, and the room was filled with the strong smell of smoke.

Manager Cai scratched his slightly oily scalp, squinted at the supervisor in front of him, and said, "It's not impossible for you to leave us, but you'll have to sign a non-compete agreement."

The supervisor said with a hint of amusement, "Manager Cai, I do finance work, not sales. A non-compete agreement has nothing to do with me, right?"

Manager Cai knew this request was a bit excessive, so he softened his tone and asked, "Is it because of the company's benefits?"

The other party shook his head.

Manager Cai sighed and said, "If you have any difficulties in your life, you can bring them up, and the company will try its best to help you solve them."

Seeing that Manager Cai was persistent and wouldn't budge, the other party had no choice but to tell the truth: "Manager Cai, to be honest with you, Penguin Capital has invested in a startup. That company has great potential, and I can go directly to be their financial manager with stock options."

There was something else he didn't say: this was a channel provided by a well-known headhunting firm in the industry.

Joining a startup is a risky move, but the rewards are proportional to the risks. Since that company is favored by Tencent Capital, it must be worth taking a gamble. If that company succeeds, you'll be set for life.

Seeing that the other party was determined, Manager Cai had nothing more to say. He simply patted the supervisor on the shoulder and said, "Then good luck. Don't forget to report to the two presidents." The supervisor nodded, "Yes, Manager Cai."

After leaving Manager Cai's office, he did not go to Xu Liang's office, but went straight to Li Xu's office.

Xu Liang's opinion as vice president is not important. When Liu Guoqing was in charge, Xu Liang had a lot of influence. But now that the chairman's son has come, it's obvious who has more say.

More importantly, now that he's leaving the company, he doesn't need to care about Xu Liang anymore. But he still needs to visit Li Xu.

Although the information may not be accurate, he heard that Li Xu had helped him in getting this great opportunity.

Why did Li Xu do this? He could roughly guess; it was simply to make room for someone else.

As for who gets to make room for someone, that's not something I should be guessing.

Moreover, he has no intention of telling anyone about these speculations.

On the one hand, these are just speculations; on the other hand, since Li Xu has the ability and resources to help him find such an opportunity, he also has the power to destroy it.

He's a smart man; he wouldn't shoot himself in the foot.

He could tell that Li Xu was an extremely capable young CEO. And Manager Cai had done some shady things over the years; he was definitely going to be held accountable.

He had worked under Manager Cai for several years, so he wouldn't do anything to kick someone when they were down. For now, he would just play dumb.

A few days later, the finance department was short of a supervisor and a finance staff member, so Manager Cai submitted a report on promoting a finance supervisor.

The report went through the proper channels and ended up in Li Xu's office system.

He sat in front of his computer with his coffee in hand and read the whole article with amusement.

Manager Cai wanted to promote a female accountant.

The female accountant was in her thirties and quite good-looking, but she only had a college diploma and had previously worked as a cashier.

Li Xu can say without hesitation that she can't even understand a slightly professional financial statement. It's quite something that Manager Cai would appoint her as the finance director.

Li Xu waved to Huang Lingling, who was standing next to him in a daze, and she immediately came to her senses and moved closer to Li Xu.

Li Xu said, "Have the administration department draft a document, asking each department to submit their required personnel and positions, and then have it discussed and approved by the board of directors. If approved, we will organize a unified recruitment drive."

Since the marketing department also needed to hire more staff, and other departments could also consider whether they needed to increase their staff, this matter was handled together.

As for the report submitted by Manager Cai, Li Xu rejected it without hesitation. He quickly wrote the comments: "The position of finance manager requires high professional skills. It is recommended to recruit from graduates of 985 universities or above with relevant majors or those with more than two years of experience in the same position at a company."

After arranging this matter, Li Xu called Shen Mobai and said, "Keep an eye on the job postings. I won't interfere; just submit your resume. Of course, make sure it looks good. I don't need to teach you that, right?"

Shen Mobai chuckled and said, "Whether it's work experience or our school's reputation, there's no need to embellish it, right?"

Li Xu thought about it and agreed.

Huang Lingling was extremely efficient; under her supervision, the administration department issued the notice that same day.

The next day, all departments with personnel needs brought their reports to the board meeting. Manager Cai, of course, brought two personnel requests with him.

Although Li Xu arranged all of this in secret, the demand was actually submitted by Manager Cai himself, and everything seemed so reasonable.

The meeting approved the recruitment needs for two people in the finance department, two people in the marketing department, and one person in the security department.

A few days later, after the job posting was sent out, the company's human resources department received hundreds of resumes in its email inbox.

When Manager Meng later reported on his work, he excitedly said, "This recruitment actually yielded two resumes from Tsinghua and Peking Universities!"

Li Xu was taken aback. Two portions?

He took the two resumes; one was Shen Mobai's, which was exactly what Li Xu had expected.

But when Li Xu saw another document, his expression turned strange—Xia Xiaohe.
