Rebirth 05: From Coal Mine Owner to Mobile Phone Tycoon

Because the company hasn't officially opened for business and started production yet, Lu Yuan has set the starting time for Director Zhou, Director Lu, and the rest of the staff at 9:00 AM. In addition, the company cafeteria's upgrade and renovation isn't finished yet, and the person in charge of this is the second-in-command, Zhu Lubing. The sixth-in-command is specifically assisting the second-in-command, so the two of them have been staying at the company premises these past few days after finishing their respective tasks.

Hearing the commotion at the door, the two idiots, still grumpy from being woken up, swaggered to the company entrance.

Looking at the bustling group of college students in front of them, Zhu Lubing and Lao Liu Chen Hu hadn't expected them to be there for a job interview. Zhu Lubing, with a stern face, one hand in his pocket and a cigarette between his fingers, asked with apparent annoyance, "What are you doing here? What are you doing making a scene at our company entrance so early in the morning? Looking for a fight?"

These college graduates have never seen anything like this before.

Looking at Zhu Lubing and Chen Hu, the group of young men and women exchanged bewildered glances.

Some of the more timid ones had already started to shrink back.

"Boss, excuse me? Is this Tiangong Electronics Manufacturing Company?" a bold young man asked tentatively.

Zhu Lubing nodded. "Yes, what are you here for?"

The college student who was speaking said in a low voice, "We're here to apply for a job."

Old Liu glanced at the group of people in front of him, muttering under his breath, "Applying for a job? Wait! I'll make a call and ask."

After finishing his work last night, Chen Hu drank two bottles of baijiu (Chinese liquor), and the smell of alcohol on him hasn't dissipated yet.

The college students' legs began to tremble at the sight. This was no company! Aside from the red silk-covered signboard and the spacious factory and bright office building that made it look somewhat like a mobile phone manufacturing company, the man in front of them was clearly a scoundrel.

They'll be coming here to work, so they'll inevitably have to deal with these people for a long time.

Some people realized this and simply slipped away.

Chen Hu was making a phone call to Lu Yuan when Zhu Lubing saw someone leave. Only then did she suddenly remember that Lu Yuan had indeed mentioned yesterday that he would have Director Zhou and Director Lu come today to process the onboarding of college students applying for jobs.

Realizing this, Zhu Lubing panicked first and hurriedly shouted to the group of young men who were about to leave, "Don't go anywhere! You all better wait!"

Got it!

Hearing this, the students became even more determined to leave.

Thank goodness.

Just as the students turned to walk towards the roadside, preparing to take a taxi to leave, Lu Long, who had driven ahead of time that morning to pick up Zhou Liren for work in preparation for the job interview, arrived at the company entrance.

Seeing the expressions on the faces of the group of college students, Lu Long was the first to come to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward, saying, "Everyone, wait a minute, hehe, don't go yet. I'm Lu Long, the company's vice president, and this is Zhou Liren, our company's HR director. You're all here for job interviews, right?"

Lu Long and Zhou Liren didn't possess the same thuggish air as Zhu Lubing and Chen Hu. Furthermore, Lu Long was quite well-known in the industry, so when a college student recognized him, they quickly asked, "Director Lu? Weren't you a structural engineer at Lenovo before?"

Lu Long smiled and said, "Yes, I was indeed at Lenovo before."

Upon hearing this, the group of college students looked somewhat bewildered.

With so many years of development, Lenovo is definitely considered a large enterprise in Huaqiangbei.

Getting a job at Lenovo is the dream of many young college graduates. But this guy, who was already an engineer at Lenovo, actually quit his job to work for this newly established small company, which really puzzled them.

"Director Lu, your salary and benefits at Lenovo were quite good, why did you choose to work here?"

"It's Director Lu. This company looks like it just opened, and the staff here..." The young man paused, glancing up at Zhu Lubing and Chen Hu standing inside the gate, and continued, "They don't look like business people at all."

Lu Long and Zhou Ren had become familiar with Zhu Lubing and the others over the past few days, and they knew what kind of temperament the two men had.

Judging from the ashen faces of these college students, Zhu Lubing and Chen Hu must have given them a hard time earlier.

After gradually sorting out his thoughts, Lu Long said with a smile, "To be precise, those two aren't really employees of our company. They're just responsible for helping our company expand its export channels. Right now, it's basically me, Director Zhou, and Chairman Lu who make the decisions. Chairman Lu is out negotiating collaborations right now, haha, so today it's just the two of us who are specifically handling the recruitment."

Of course, as for what you're all curious about—why did I switch from Lenovo to here? Well, well, big companies have their advantages, and small companies have theirs too. Alright, this isn't the place to talk, everyone come with me to the company conference room, sit down, and I'll chat with you all first.”

Lu Long had a kind face and spoke in a calm manner, which gradually made the college students lower their guard.

When Chen Hu and Zhu Lubing saw Lu Long and Zhou Liren leading these college students into the company compound, their worries were completely relieved.

Damn it, if those two mess up this job interview today, Brother Lu will definitely not let them off easily.

so close!

That was a close call!

As Lu Long and Zhou Liren led the college students past the two men, Zhu Lubing and Chen Hu both wore friendly smiles.

After Lu Long and Zhou Liren nodded and smiled in response, they walked towards the company's conference room, where they began to give the college students a brief introduction to the company's current situation and some of the benefits they had already agreed upon.

"Our CEO Lu has made a significant investment this time. As you can see, the original six-person dormitories have been upgraded to four-person rooms, and each dormitory has been equipped with air conditioning and a private bathroom. Although you have just graduated, I think you all know about other companies. In terms of living environment, I can guarantee that our company can now rival many large enterprises."

Besides that, there's the company salary. Hehe, once you're successfully hired, other companies' internships are at least two months long, but our company only requires a two-week internship before we start paying your social insurance and housing fund. And the salary, hehe, is about 10% higher than the industry average.

A short while later, everyone arrived at the conference room.

Lu Long and Zhou Liren sat at the front. Lu Long continued with a laugh, "As for my job change, haha, I think we should all look forward in whatever we do, right? Chairman Lu's decision to enter the mobile phone industry shows his firm resolve to make our company a leader in the field!"
