Chapter 322 - Knock Shenhua out of the Market! (2/2)

He Desheng answered, “About eight thousand yuan. Of course, that was how much I was paid as an investment assistant. As an investment manager…”

Pei Qian interrupted him. “I’ll give you sixteen thousand yuan, with an additional four thousand yuan as a special allowance. Your monthly salary would be twenty thousand yuan.”

He Desheng looked puzzled. “Boss Pei, that’s too much! What’s more, there’s no reason I should receive special allowance.”

Pei Qian patted his shoulder and said, “This is to compensate you for the psychological suffering you will endure while playing games with Boss Ma.”

That weekend, Pei Qian had nothing much to do. He browsed houses online. His plan was to find a good real estate, pay the full price upfront, and then ask his parents to move in.

As for Boss Pei’s own accommodation…

He could probably start thinking about moving as well.

However, Pei Qian did feel quite comfortable where he was. Since he was too lazy to move houses for now, he figured that there was no rush.

November 8th, Monday…

Assistant Xin had already contacted Chang You and bought return tickets for him to make a trip to Jingzhou.

This meeting was quite important to Boss Pei. If he could hire a good right-hand man, all of Boss Pei’s concerns about the future would dissipate!

Speaking of which, the thing that frustrated Pei Qian the most was that not one of his countless employees could share his burdens. Some of them had looked reliable at first but started doing crazy things a few months later.

The only one who could really share his burdens was Ma Yang, but Ma Yang was only considered half a man.

Boss Pei was miserable.

He could not wait to find someone who could share his burdens. Boss Pei would immediately give him heavy responsibilities and put him in charge of all the businesses!

Pei Qian was very hopeful. He hoped that this Chang You would turn out to be the man he had been searching high and low for.

At 2 pm, Pei Qian met Chang You in Tengda’s guest room. Before this, Pei Qian had learned about Vice President Chang’s current situation from Assistant Xin.

Chang You was the former Vice-President of Hongcheng Technologies. He had been a high-ranking employee, but he had not been the boss. Thus, after Hongcheng Technologies’ collapse, the boss became a judgment debtor, but Chang You’s life and subsequent jobs remained unaffected. Of course, Chang You had not been happy either. After all, he had lost his job. According to Assistant Xin, Vice President Chang was also a highly ambitious person. After Hongcheng Technologies went bust, Vice-President Chang received offers from various companies. However, he turned them all down.

That was because none of them were to his liking.

Some had been small-scale cell phone manufacturers while others had practically been producing counterfeit cell phones.

Chang You turned them all down because he had only been after serious, reliable cell phone companies. Yet, all the serious, reliable cell phone companies despised him.

Thus, Chang You remained jobless.

Pei Qian thought that that was quite good.

Wouldn’t it be a waste for a talent like that to be in the business of producing counterfeit cell phones?!

You can only reach your full potential by manufacturing cell phones with me.

As Pei Qian had been thinking about this, the guest room’s door had opened.

Pei Qian stood up and saw Chang You in person for the first time. He was not tall; he looked shorter than 1.7 meters. While he looked thin and weak, he also seemed to exude energy.

“Boss Pei, how are you?”

Chang You shook Pei Qian’s hand. It was quite a solid handshake.

On the whole, Pei Qian’s first impression of Chang You was that he was a man of action. Pei Qian guessed that he was quite stubborn and opinionated.

It was good that he was a man of action!

Boss Pei did indeed have a preference for bums, but a man of action was the best bet for key management positions like that.

A bum would probably fail to produce anything even after a few months. Boss Pei’s settlement would end up getting delayed. On the other hand, a man of action would work blindly and burn more money.

Boss Pei loved employees who burned money fast.

What’s more, if Chang You turned out to be stubborn, he would likely cling to his own course. At worst, he would likely make mistakes in huge decisions. At best, he would sow dissension and discord in the management team.

All in all, this Vice President had caused a huge company like Hongcheng Technologies to collapse. He must have had the real skill to achieve a glorious task like that.

Pei Qian had high hopes for him.

Both of them took their seats in the guest room, and someone served tea. Since they were meeting for the first time, they exchanged a couple of pleasantries. After that, Pei Qian brought up the main topic. “Vice President Chang, to tell you the truth, I appreciate your talents. Tengda has plans to start a tech company, and we’re going to start with cell phones. “I think your precious experience is very important. Please join my team!”

Chang You was stunned. He did not think Boss Pei would be so straightforward.

Chang You was the job seeker, and Boss Pei was the paying employer. Logically, Chang You should have been expected to take the initiative.

However, Boss Pei clearly did not mind these things and immediately displayed his eagerness to hire talents. Chang You could sense his sincerity.

He was very moved.

However, he did not agree right away. Instead, he hesitated and said, “Boss Pei, let’s talk about whether we have the same mindset or not first.

“I have my own judgment of the way the industry will develop. I don’t want to only find out about conflict in our views later on; it might be hard to turn back then.”

Pei Qian nodded. “That’s right, those are my thoughts exactly. Let’s talk about it in detail, then.

“What do you think our end goal should be if we start a company?”

Chang You pondered for a moment and replied, “To knock Shenhua out of the market!”
