I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 284 "It is a financial instrument! You could even say it's a financial weapon!"
What the hell!

Wow, isn't this exactly what I wanted?
Fang Qingye immediately said, "Zhao Chaoyi, would you like to work for our company? I'll offer you an annual salary of 80 yuan and an apartment."

"At this point, Fang Qingye paused, then added, "The company can buy you another car! You can choose any one under 20 yuan!"

The presentation, originally scheduled for two hours, was extended by an hour. On the spot, Tuofang Company signed contracts with 4 PhDs and 9 Masters, most of whom were majoring in mathematics.

After the presentation, Fang Qingye, on behalf of the company, treated the staff who attended the presentation to hot pot at a nearby restaurant.

Zhang Xuhao and others were also invited to dinner.

Fang Qingye was quite satisfied with today's recruitment results, which were much better than those of this year's spring recruitment.

"The day after tomorrow, let's go to Shencai and keep up the good work! Come on, everyone, cheers!" Fang Qingye raised his beer glass.

"Dry!"

Everyone raised their glasses in response.

At this moment, Zhang Xuhao said, "Chairman Fang, I think there are too many math majors among the students we recruited this time. There are a total of 13 master's and doctoral students, 9 of whom are in mathematics, and 3 of the doctoral students are in mathematics, with only one majoring in computer science."

“You don’t understand,” Fang Qingye said with a mysterious smile. “Mathematics is the foundation. Whether it’s the quantitative trading we’re going to do or the food delivery business we’re doing now, we can’t do without mathematics, and we’ll find it becoming more and more important.”

At this point, Fang Qingye instructed, "Xuhao, Ele.me needs to start paying attention to talent reserves from now on. Computer science is a given, you've always valued it, but you need to value math talent even more! Algorithm research, in a sense, determines the future of the food delivery industry! You need to prepare for it as early as possible."

Zhang Xuhao nodded silently.

The recruitment at Shanghai Jiao Tong University was quite successful, but the recruitment at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics was somewhat unsatisfactory. These days, finance majors are extremely sought after, with many master's and doctoral graduates aiming for world-renowned companies like Citibank and Goldman Sachs.

Despite the attractive compensation offered by Fang Qingye, very few people applied. In desperation, he had to lower the requirements to include even outstanding undergraduates. In the end, he recruited 16 graduates, including one PhD, three master's students, and the rest undergraduates.

Of course, a bachelor's degree holder earning an annual salary of 15 to 20 yuan does not own a house.

It'll have to do.

After holding two recruitment presentations and finishing the student recruitment, Fang Qingye planned to return to Nanxin. That evening, she chatted with Bai Ou on QQ at the hotel for a while.

"Ye Zi, has Shi Mei contacted you?" Bai Ou asked.

"No."

"You don't seem interested in her?"

"No, she'll contact me eventually, won't she?" Fang Qingye said with a smile.

Bai Ou was right, he really wasn't interested.

For legal professionals, work experience and knowledge are more important. He's looking for experienced lawyers, not fresh graduates full of theoretical knowledge.

Of course, white lotus root is an exception.

Bai Ou could see through his perfunctory attitude, so she didn't say anything more.

After chatting for a while, Bai Ou said she needed to rest early because she had to go to work the next day, so Fang Qingye was about to log off QQ when Dongguan Girl's QQ avatar suddenly moved.

It's been a long time since I contacted Dongguan girl, no, Huang Tao. She hasn't been leaving messages on QQ much lately either; she's probably very busy abroad.

"My love, it's been so long. Even though you're not by my side, we're still in the story. Even when I'm not with you, you're still the protagonist in my story."

Fang Qingye smiled slightly as she read this cringeworthy passage. She was still the same youthful and beautiful girl she always was.

So I typed: "Peach, what have you been busy with lately? Studies? I haven't heard from you much."

"Studies are irrelevant to me; I'm busy with a great project you've created," the girl from Dongguan quickly replied.

"I created it? You mean Bitcoin?" Fang Qingye thought about it carefully and realized that this was the only thing he had "created".

"Yes, I have great news for you. The world's largest Bitcoin exchange, MTGOX, has been launched! The price of each Bitcoin has risen to $0.05. If you have 1 million Bitcoins, that's worth $50,000!" the girl said, adding a playful emoji.

Ah?
"Peach, I really don't understand why you're so interested in this?" Fang Qingye couldn't help but type.

To be honest, he had long forgotten about it.

If Bitcoin does indeed surge as it has in history, I'll find a way to cash out a portion of it; if it fades into obscurity, I'll leave it there as a memento.

The girl typed back after reading it: "Husband, you still don't understand what you invented. In a sense, Bitcoin is not simply a virtual currency; it's more like a financial instrument!"

"The 'husband' is a financial tool! You could even say it's a financial weapon! Especially in international political and economic competition, it's something we should definitely control."

"We?" Fang Qingye keenly sensed the unusual meaning in the Dongguan girl's words: "Peach, what do you mean by 'we'?"

"Husband, don't ask anymore. You should focus on making money. Money is wealth, capital, and a weapon. You're too weak right now."

What the hell!

Fang Qingye suddenly sensed a hint of conspiracy in the Dongguan girl's words.

Thinking of the girl's mysterious family, Fang Qingye immediately stopped the conversation.

Forget it, don't get involved.

The girl from Dongguan seemed unwilling to say more, and instead asked, "Husband, what have you been busy with lately?"

"I'm recruiting students."

Fang Qingye then told Dongguan Girl about the process of preparing to set up a new company to engage in quantitative trading and recruiting students.

"Good, my husband! You've finally taken a step from being a guerrilla fighter to a regular soldier! Thumbs up!"

Fang Qingye knew that he was talking about trading stocks and futures alone, and that he was preparing to set up a company to trade as a team.

However, my guerrilla force is no weaker than the regular army, because I have the ultimate weapon of rebirth!
It's just that it's a bit tiring to operate by one person, so having a team to play with allows me to rest.

Of course, Fang Qingye wouldn't say these things aloud; he jokingly typed them:

"Peach, you'll be graduating with your master's degree next year, right? Would you be willing to come back to China and join my new company? I'll offer you the CEO position."

Fang Qingye was just joking, but the girl from Dongguan typed back: "I will seriously consider your suggestion."

Oh my god, they actually came?
Fang Qingye was stunned.

"Okay, that's still uncertain. I'd like to recommend a female PhD in finance to you. Do you want her?"

"Who?!" Fang Qingye's spirits lifted.

"Those in the 150 IQ group are just listening to men talk nonsense."

A group with an IQ of 150?
So this is a group of sand sculptures.

This is from a girl from Dongguan who invited me to join a group while I was modeling.

There weren't many people inside, only a dozen or so, but they were all master's or doctoral graduates from prestigious universities. They were incredibly intelligent, but unfortunately, their speech was more and more childish than the last.

Therefore, Fang Qingye privately referred to them as the "sand sculpture group".

I haven't checked the messages in this group for a long time.

He blocked this QQ name after he stopped building mathematical models himself, but now when the girl from Dongguan mentioned it, I remembered it.

Listen to men talking nonsense.

It seems to be a doctoral student at Tsinghua University's School of Economics and Management?
