The system only arrives when you're old? Then let's create a super-rich family!

"Yes, sir."

Lu Chengan hung up the phone and found a number he hadn't contacted in three years.

The number belongs to Ling Feng, the head of Jinbiao Headhunting in Beijing.

Ling Feng is extremely famous in the headhunting circle. He has a list of elites from all walks of life, from senior executives of listed companies to top technical talents. If you want someone, there is no one he can't find.

Lu Chengan dialed the number.

The phone rang three times before being answered, and a deep, powerful male voice came from the other end, "Hello, this is Ling Feng."

"Ling Feng, this is Lu Cheng'an." Lu Cheng'an skipped the pleasantries and went straight to the point, "I have an urgent matter tonight and I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Ling Feng on the other end of the phone paused abruptly, his tone instantly turning shocked, "Mr. Lu? You've come out of seclusion?"

Three years ago, Lu Cheng'an left the top-tier Lu family and hadn't found a new partner. He thought Lu Cheng'an was going to retire completely and enjoy his old age. Unexpectedly, Lu Cheng'an took the initiative to contact him and asked for his help.

Ling Feng was well aware of Lu Cheng'an's vision and requirements.

Back in the Lu family days, Lu Cheng'an only selected top talents in the industry when he was in charge of recruitment.

Ordinary employers are simply not good enough for him; those who can get him to work are definitely powerful and influential figures from wealthy families.

He only came into contact with Lu Cheng'an after reaching the top of the headhunting industry and realizing just how extravagant the wealth of a powerful family was.

Those people, if they want to poach talent, they just throw money at them; they won't sit down and talk about life or salary with you at all.

Suppressing his shock, Ling Feng said respectfully, "Mr. Lu, whatever you command, I will do without hesitation, as long as it's within my capabilities. By the way, are you currently in Beijing or somewhere else?"

"I'm in Jiangbei City, Jiangnan Province." Lu Cheng'an said seriously, instructing, "My master urgently needs a group of top talents from various industries. As long as they haven't signed non-compete agreements, you need to poach them all. Remember, only pick the very best, regardless of cost. If double the salary isn't enough, triple it!"

"Also, my husband needs to see the person tomorrow morning. If you can't do that, you don't need to sign."

Ling Feng was shocked. Regardless of cost? They were even going to rush over overnight?

Lu Cheng'an's new employer is so arrogant?

This is typical of top-tier wealthy families; if something can be solved with money, they won't waste time talking and will just throw money at it.

He quickly replied, "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I've got it."

After hanging up the phone, Ling Feng immediately took out a thick talent registration book from the drawer.

It contains information on the top talents in China, with each page clearly marked, including industry, qualifications, salary requirements, and whether there are non-compete agreements, all at a glance.

The information in this notebook is what he collected every day by treating people to meals, and then compiled it into a book. It is his most important resource.

The first requirement in the talent list that Lu Chengan sent him was a team of architectural designers.

In terms of design, Chen Tianze is undoubtedly the undisputed No. 1 in China.

Chen Tianze, a top architect, founded "Tianze Design Studio". Although it is not large in scale, with only twenty people, each of them is a leader in the design field. From high-end residences to commercial complexes, their designs have almost never failed and have dominated the top of the industry for many years.

Without hesitation, Ling Feng immediately dialed Chen Tianze's number.

"Hello, this is Chen Tianze from Tianze Design Studio." Chen Tianze sounded tired on the other end of the phone, still drawing in his hands.

"Master Chen, I'm Ling Feng from Jinbiao Headhunter. I have a great business opportunity to discuss with you."

Ling Feng cut to the chase, "Someone wants to buy out your Tian Ce Agency entirely, including you and all its core members."

Chen Tianze refused without hesitation, "Ling Feng, you must be joking! My firm has a stable annual revenue of around 100 million. I'm doing a great job as the boss, why would I sell it to someone else?"

He is a top architect in China, and his intellectual property is valuable. There is no need for him to sell the firm he founded for money, nor is there any need for him to live under someone else's roof.

Ling Feng had anticipated this and didn't rush to refute: "Master Chen, please don't be so quick to refuse. Let me ask you, in these past few years of the real estate industry downturn, hasn't your firm's revenue been declining? And aren't there several outstanding payments from clients that will require years of litigation to recover?"

Chen Tianze on the other end of the phone fell silent instantly.

Everything Ling Feng said was true.

In the past two years, the real estate market has been sluggish. Clients have either lowered prices or found various excuses to delay payments. Even if the drawings are 99% perfect, clients will still find fault and use this as a reason to extend the payment cycle or even deduct payments.

The annual revenue appears to be 100 million, but less than half of that is actually received.

But he was unwilling to sell his entire firm for that reason.

Hearing the silence on the other end of the phone, Ling Feng knew there was a chance and pressed his advantage.

"Master Chen, my employer is truly not short of money. He hires the top people in each industry, so money is never an issue. He's willing to buy out your entire firm with double the annual salary. In other words, you and your team no longer need to worry about finding clients or chasing payments. You can just focus on your work and earn more each year than you would in several years of hard work."

"Double?" Chen Tianze's tone instantly shifted to one of excitement, even trembling slightly. "Are you serious? He's willing to buy out my entire firm for an annual salary of 2 million?"

"Master Chen, I, Ling Feng, have been in the headhunting industry for so many years, would I joke with you?" Ling Feng said with a smile, "However, the employer has one request: he wants to see all of you tomorrow morning."

The location is Longhu Manor, Jiangbei City, Jiangnan Province.

Chen Tianze was slightly taken aback when he heard the name. He had also participated in the design of this manor. Was the employer who had approached him the owner of this manor?

Ling Feng wasn't in a hurry. Being skilled at poaching people, he could guess Chen Tianze's thoughts just by his tone and the time intervals between their conversations.

Sure enough, the next second...

Chen Tianze spoke up, his tone urgent, "I agreed. I'll inform the entire team right now, and we'll fly to Jiangbei tonight!"

Just kidding, isn't the point of doing business to make money? His IP is probably only worth around 20 million.

Someone offered double the price to buy out his team, and he wouldn't have to bother chasing payments anymore. Only a fool wouldn't agree.

After hanging up Chen Tianze's call, Ling Feng smiled and continued searching through the filing book.

After dealing with Chen Tianze, Ling Feng didn't rest for a moment and immediately dialed the next number.

Jiang Zhe is an absolute top talent in the field of risk control assessment.

Jiang Zhe, 32 years old this year, is the risk control assessment director of a top domestic company. His risk control assessment ability is considered an industry benchmark. No major risks have ever occurred in the projects he has handled. Moreover, with his accurate risk prediction, he has helped the company avoid losses of hundreds of millions of yuan several times. He is definitely a core backbone of the company and a "hot commodity" in the eyes of the leaders.

Unlike other professionals, Jiang Zhe's career path has been smooth sailing, without any troubles.

At this moment, he was sitting in his office with a non-compete agreement in front of him, a satisfied smile on his lips.

Just half an hour ago, the company's senior management personally spoke with him. In order to retain him as a core talent, they offered him a 50% salary increase and promised to give him an extra special bonus every year. There was only one condition: to sign a 20-year non-compete agreement.

A 50% salary increase means he can earn nearly a million more each year. For Jiang Zhe, who has already bought a house in Beijing and whose wife and children are by his side, this salary is enough to allow him to settle down in Beijing and even provide his family with better living conditions.

He was about to sign when his phone suddenly rang.

The caller ID showed Ling Feng. Jiang Zhe paused for a moment, then answered the phone with a hint of teasing in his voice: "Hey Ling Jinbiao, headhunter, what's up so late?"

He had dealt with Ling Feng a few times and knew that the other party was trying to poach him, but he had never thought of changing jobs.

Ling Feng didn't play coy. "Director Jiang, I'll get straight to the point. There's a top-tier wealthy employer in Jiangnan Province who wants to poach you. His annual salary is double your current one."

Jiang Zhe frowned slightly, his tone tinged with apology: "Director Ling, thank you for your kindness, but I won't go."

"I've already bought a house in Beijing, and my wife and children have settled here. My child will be starting elementary school next year, so I really don't want to develop my career in Jiangnan Province."

Jiang Zhe spoke sincerely and politely declined, "Besides, the company just gave me a 50% raise, promised me a bonus, and prepared a non-compete agreement. Even if I get fired, I can receive a large sum of compensation every month."

In his view, a stable life is more important than a higher salary. Moreover, the cost of moving the whole family is too high and it is not good for the children's growth. Even if his annual salary doubled, he would not want to take the risk.

Ling Feng on the other end of the phone remained calm and composed: "Director Jiang, don't rush to refuse. If double isn't enough, then triple the salary! And there's no need to sign a non-compete agreement."

He then advised, "You can sell your house in Beijing. With the current housing market, you basically won't lose money. Three times the salary, that's equivalent to three years of your salary in one year. You can easily earn enough money to go back to Beijing."

Ling Feng paused, then added, "Let me make this clear again: my employer here is not short of money at all; he hires top talent from every industry. If you agree, in addition to triple your salary, you'll receive extra bonuses and year-end bonuses—the amounts will definitely exceed your imagination. The only requirement is that you arrive at Longhu Manor in Jiangbei City tomorrow morning."

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In the entire Dragon Kingdom, only I, as your employer, can offer this kind of treatment. If you refuse, I'll call the next top risk control talent right now. Are you still going to refuse?"

"Three...three times the salary? Plus bonuses and year-end bonuses?" Jiang Zhe's heart was pounding, his hand holding the phone was trembling slightly, and the hesitation on his face was instantly replaced by shock.

With these conditions, is it really worth not changing jobs? Jiang Zhe asked himself honestly: One year's work is equivalent to three years', three years' is equivalent to ten years', and ten years' is equivalent to thirty years'!

There are also generous profit sharing and year-end bonuses!

His breathing became increasingly rapid, and his body became slightly hot from excessive excitement.

Without further hesitation, Jiang Zhe hurriedly said into the phone, "Director Ling, I promise! I'll book the tickets right now and guarantee I'll be at Longhu Manor on time tomorrow morning!"

He didn't want to miss this incredible opportunity. If he missed it, he might never meet an employer who could offer such generous treatment again in his lifetime.

Isn't the point of work to make money? You work for whoever pays the most!

Changing jobs is nothing to be ashamed of!

After hanging up with Jiang Zhe, Ling Feng didn't stop and continued to dial the numbers of top talents one by one.

Engineering management expert, marketing elite...

That night, top business leaders from countless industries in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou received calls from Ling Feng.

When they heard the conditions of "doubled annual salary", "no need to sign a non-compete agreement", "the employer is not short of money, just name your price", and "fly to Jiangbei tonight", almost everyone did not hesitate, immediately abandoned their old employers, booked plane tickets overnight, and rushed to Jiangbei City, Jiangnan Province.
