Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 176 Recruitment Interview! (Second Update!)

After distributing the test papers, Lin Yi turned around, crossed his arms, and leaned gently against the door. Then, in front of the group of people, he took out a stopwatch from his pocket:
"You have five minutes to look at the questions, and then you will have twenty minutes to answer them."

After saying that, he gently pressed the stopwatch in front of a group of people.

The stopwatch started timing and emitted a crisp tick.

The crisp sound gently tapped at the hearts of the group of people in the corridor.

At the same time, it reminded them that once the interview began, a slight mistake could lead to failure.

On the bench, Han Jun held the test paper, looking at the questions, feeling utterly overwhelmed.

As a recent graduate, her privileged family background meant that she didn't rush into work like most students, but instead stayed home for six months.

For the past six months, she has been like a social outcast, staying at home all day and basically not leaving her room except for eating, drinking and relieving herself.

After the New Year, her mother finally couldn't stand it anymore and kicked her out.

Let her go out and find a job.

I'll take any job, even something as simple as sweeping the floor.

Anyway, I can't stay at home.

He even threatened that if he couldn't find a job, he shouldn't go home.

The Han family should pretend that this person never existed.

Under duress and enticement, Han Jun reluctantly agreed to the task. She looked at some recruitment materials online, consulted with a few classmates, and then confidently began submitting her resume.

But after submitting hundreds of resumes, only one company, Xiaomi Heavy Industry, responded.

Even before coming here today, she was repeatedly reciting the teachers' slides in her mind.

They're even simulating interview scenarios.

But she never expected that this company's interview process would be completely unconventional!

[Front Desk Interview Questionnaire 1]

[Question 1: What is your expected salary? (Please fill in the number carefully)]

[Question 2: Are you face-blind?]

[Question 3: If someone gets close to the company's "money tree" (a symbol of good fortune), how should the receptionist handle it?]

[Question 4: If someone tries to hang themselves at the company entrance, how should the receptionist handle it?]

[Question 5: What should the receptionist do if a stranger tries to enter or leave the company premises during work hours?]

[Question 6: If reporters block the company entrance and take photos, how should the receptionist handle the situation?]

Question 7...

The test paper had 20 questions, and after looking through all 20 questions, Han Jun was completely numb.

Of these 20 questions, all except the first one ask how to handle them.

She no longer recognizes the words "how to handle things at the front desk".

As for the course materials she memorized, those career planning tips, those future plans, and those questions about why she chose our company.

There wasn't a single one in the question!

As for how to handle it.

I've never worked as a receptionist before, how am I supposed to handle this?

After reading the questions twice, Han Jun gritted her teeth and first filled in 5000 under the first question. Then she wrote the same answer under the next 19 questions.

Dial 110

After finishing writing, she pretended to look at the others, but found that they were still busy writing their exam papers, so she simply lowered her head again and continued to pretend.

20 minutes will pass quickly.

As she looked up for the third time, Lin Yi, who was leaning against the door, raised his right hand and shook the stopwatch in his hand:

"Twenty minutes are up, please stop for a moment."

He put the stopwatch back in his pocket, smiled, walked over to the group, took the exam papers from their hands, and then bowed slightly to them.

"Please wait a moment!"

After leaving those words, he turned and walked into meeting room number 1.

Lin Yi sat down in the chair, picked up the test paper, and scanned it as quickly as possible.

Does the receptionist need a monthly salary of 5?
Throw away.

Are R&D positions only willing to ask for a salary of 2000?

Throw away.

Throw it all away, throw it all away.

After a few minutes of careful selection, he chose 13 people from the thirty-odd interviewees he had interviewed that day.

After carefully arranging the dozen or so test papers according to their respective job positions and transcribing the names on them, Lin Yi took the list and left the meeting room.
"After the first round of assessment, 13 friends passed the assessment and officially entered the second round of interviews."

"Here is the list, let me read out the names."

"Those who did not pass can go back now. When you pass by the guardhouse, you can pick up a transportation subsidy of 20 yuan."

"Receptionist, Han Jun, Zhao Xiaomei..."

"Personnel, Liao Xiangjun, Wang Bo..."

"Accountant, Feng Ze..."

After reading out a dozen or so names, Lin Yi waved the list in his hand and pointed to the No. 2 meeting room across the street:

"For finance-related positions, please wait outside meeting room number 2."

"Other staff, please wait in meeting room number 1. I will call out a name, and then you will come in."

"HR, Liao Xiangjun, Wang Bo! You two come in together."

When their names were called, Wang Bo and Liao Xiangjun stood up and slowly walked to the door of meeting room number 1.

Lin Yi stood by the door and pointed to the inside of the reception room.

"Those two seats over there."

After the two men sat down, Lin Yi closed the door, walked over and sat down opposite them, found their resumes, picked them up and waved them around, saying:
"Liao Xiangjun, female, 28 years old, holds a bachelor's degree in Human Resource Management from Suzhou University. She graduated at the age of 22 and worked in human resource management at Xingguang Technology for 6 years."

"Wang Bo, male, 27 years old, holds a bachelor's degree in project management from Suzhou University of Technology. He graduated at the age of 22 and worked in human resources management at Haoyu Technology for 5 years."

"Your resumes are, on the surface, flawless."

"I was just checking your educational information."

"The information is correct; at least you did not falsify your academic credentials."

"Now we officially enter the second round, and my question is very simple."

"Give me a human resources management plan in 20 minutes."

"This human resources management plan should include the company's normal annual recruitment, emergency job recruitment, employee background checks, employee dispatch and training, salary and performance calculation, relevant cross-departmental cooperation, employee conflict and crisis management."

"You have 20 minutes to describe the entire plan using the most concise language possible."

"Whoever finishes in 20 minutes, I'll take them."

After stating the question, Lin Yi took out two notebooks from under the table and then pushed them in front of the two people:

"please!"

Across from him, Liao Xiangjun and Wang Bo took their laptops, exchanged a glance, turned them on, and quickly opened their work software, typing away furiously.

Both of them would tap for a while, then turn to look at each other before continuing to tap. Lin Yi also took out his stopwatch again, went around behind them, and watched them work with curiosity.

The clattering of keyboards echoed in the room, and the two people busy typing were sweating more and more.

Finally, the stopwatch reached zero, and the 20-minute countdown rang. The two of them stopped typing almost simultaneously.

Lin Yi peeked over and found that the two of them were still in the third chapter, which was the company's normal annual recruitment chapter.

Lin Yi placed the two computers in front of him, read through the text on them from beginning to end, and then turned the computer screens towards the two of them:
"In 20 minutes, the two of you typed over 1100 words each, and over 1200 words respectively."

"Judging from your writing, you do have unique insights into human resource management."

“But two or three hundred of the words you typed are nonsense.”

"Therefore, I cannot offer you the HR manager position that you two interviewed for."

"What I can offer is the position of deputy head of human resources."

"The salary and benefits for the deputy manager will be significantly lower than those for the HR manager."

"If you find this acceptable, there is an information registration form right next to me. After filling it out, you can come to work tomorrow."

Upon hearing that the offered position wasn't the HR manager she wanted, Liao Xiangjun frowned, then immediately put on a smile and asked:
"Is it possible to be promoted to HR supervisor in the future?"

"It depends on your own ability!" Lin Yi replied, turning to look at Wang Bo:

"What about you?"

Without hesitation, Wang Bo nodded and said, "I'm willing!"

“Okay!” Lin Yi picked up the employee registration form, handed it to Wang Bo, and then turned to look at Liao Xiangjun:
"Have you considered it?"

Liao Xiangjun gritted her teeth and nodded slightly.

Then, Lin Yi took out an employee registration form and handed it to Liao Xiangjun.

After the two finished registering their information and put away the registration form, Lin Yi turned around and took out a detailed personnel plan from the drawer and placed it in front of them.

"Go to the corner and learn for a bit, then starting tomorrow, the two of you will be recruiting."

"The two of you should cross-check each other's hiring practices. If you find any problems with the people hired by the other party, report it and deduct their wages."

After saying that, he waved to the two of them, signaling them to go to the corner to study.

Wang Bo and Liao Xiangjun exchanged a glance, picked up the documents, walked to the corner, and sat down on either side of each other to carefully study the personnel plan.

The more they looked, the more alarmed they became.

Because all the terms Lin Yi just mentioned are reflected in this personnel plan.

Even the task of cross-checking between two people was written out in detail in the staffing plan.

The two looked up from the documents, exchanged a glance, and then looked at Lin Yi together.

The interviewer, who looked younger than them, was far more capable than they had imagined.

Across from him, Lin Yi walked to the door with the list, opened it, and called out a new name.

After the other person sat down, Lin Yi sat down opposite them.
"Huang Wei, a 25-year-old graduate student majoring in materials science at Yanjing University of Technology, graduated last year and has not yet chosen to work."

"In your resume, you want to apply for the position of head of the metal materials research and development team."

“But we don’t have that position.”

"Until you demonstrate your value, all I can offer you is the treatment of a regular researcher."

"You want money, you want a high price, that's fine, but you need to demonstrate your value."

"If you think it's okay, then fill out this employee information registration form and come to work tomorrow."

"If you feel it's not okay, the door is over there, you can go out."

These blunt words directly shattered Huang Wei's prepared interview script.

He opened his mouth, then closed his eyes, giving a resigned look as he asked:

Can you give me a reason?

"With my resume as a graduate student in metal materials from Yenching University, I feel that I am more than qualified to apply for a research and development team leader position at your company. How could I possibly be rejected?"

Sensing his question, Lin Yi reached out and touched his nose.

It was a little awkward.

He was about to call Ye Hua when he remembered that Ye Hua had been sent out to handle patent-related business.

I wanted to find Cao Bin, but these guys were busy, otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here for the interview today.

Lin Yi pressed the hand that had been touching his nose to his brow, and as he did so, he replied:

"First of all, our company headquarters has fewer than 40 management personnel, but 21 of them are graduate students."

"You have 10 majors related to materials science, and 10 majors related to electronics and electrical appliances."

"Besides you applicants, there's another group of people still on their way."

"And this group of people are all graduate students."

"If I were a small factory, and you, a graduate student, came to me asking for a research and development head, I could give you one."

"But we are not like that. As the company's CEO, I will consider the relevant R&D directions, provide professional guidance, and provide guidance with drawings and breakthrough technologies."

"In other words, the R&D department needs to execute orders more."

"Therefore, I cannot give you the position of project R&D leader."

"Think about it yourself!"

Lin Yi's words made Huang Wei's expression hesitant.

He didn't go to the research institute because the salary there was too low.

I originally thought that private companies would pay higher salaries, but I didn't expect that they wouldn't pay much either.

Is this still a joke?
Huang Wei stomped his foot forcefully and bowed deeply to Lin Yi:
"Sorry, we can't be colleagues anymore."

After saying that, he turned and left with a flourish. Just as the door was about to close, Lin Yi shouted again:

"Zhang Xin!"

Outside the door, a man wearing glasses, who also looked like a recent college graduate, stood up, passed Huang Wei, and entered the reception room.

"Zhang Xin..."

While Xiaomi Heavy Industry's recruitment was proceeding smoothly, a Mercedes-Benz slowly pulled over to the side of the street outside the Xiaomi Heavy Industry factory.

The driver took off his sunglasses, leaned out from the driver's seat, and looked at the factory in front of him with great curiosity.

The driver was none other than Nobuko Matsushita.

After observing for a while and not seeing anything special about the company, Nobuko Matsushita turned her gaze to the assistant in the passenger seat and asked:

Are you sure we didn't come to the wrong place?

"No!" the assistant replied quickly, opening the briefcase on her lap, taking out a document, waving it at Matsushita Nobuko, then opening the document and pointing to the address on it, saying:

"If the information sent by the group company is correct, then the Xiaomi Heavy Industry that the group company asked us to investigate is the company in front of us."

The assistant looked up, pointed to the guardhouse, and continued:

"According to the group's data, this company's products have taken away a lot of our customers during the Chinese New Year period."

"That's why the group company sent us the information and asked us to investigate this company."

"If possible, I'd like to find this company along the way and talk to them about the acquisition."

Matsushita Nobuko slowly came to her senses after hearing her assistant's words. She pressed her hands to her temples and said softly, "Reply to the group company that we need a professional corporate spy."
