What's wrong with me being a rich man?

Chapter 187 Looking for
It's easy to become complacent when you have money.

After being reminded by Xiaoying, Yu Xing reflected deeply on his behavior.

But, having said that, even if you have money you can’t get carried away… So when can you relax and enjoy yourself?
Yu Xing withdrew part of his reflection and did not immediately look for an opportunity to mend the rift.

This kind of relationship with investors, in the final analysis, is the key to the development of entrepreneurial projects. I want to reflect on myself because I see the resources that Xu Xin is expected to provide in the future. If Xu Xin comes back, it must not be because I am handsome, but only because her investment can make a profit.

Yu Xing remained calm, and after two days of good rest, he completely recovered his strength and looked exceptionally energetic.

"Brother Xing, has your communication with the investors become smoother?" Zhong Zhiling took the time to ask his senior brother, wanting to verify his guess.

Yu Xing laughed: "It's completely broken up."

Zhong Zhiling:?

Yu Xing had no intention of explaining, and just said, "It's okay, just run the company well."

Zhong Zhiling was confused. His senior brother...his way of thinking was a little peculiar.

However, I haven’t had much dealings with investors. Perhaps, investors’ thinking is also special?

So maybe it makes sense that two negatives equal a positive.

Zhong Zhiling is now in charge of the promotion of some recruitment business. With the instruction of his senior, he knows the role he needs to play, but he also notices that this group of industry veterans who have switched jobs are indeed more clinging together and it is not easy to carry out their work.

He mentioned this to Yu Xing.

"It's normal to form a team. You don't have any experience in this area." Yu Xing was not surprised by this report, but he was serious. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Zhi Ling, let's put it this way. You should focus on getting familiar with the business and training the team. Keep a low profile. Mr. Liu has been sued by Zhaopin. It's possible that he will have to leave in half a year or a year. Everyone knows this, but after that, who will take over his position in charge of recruitment? This is a problem."

He asked his junior fellow apprentice: "Do you think you can handle it?"

Zhong Zhiling hesitated for two seconds, shook his head and said, "I thought I could give it a try, but now it doesn't seem to work."

"Where interests exist, there are factions. This is true for even bigger companies, not to mention the company." Yu Xing talked about the situation in the company. "Although they have now come to Bai Xiaosheng, they definitely trust their own people more. Since you can't take it, then throw it out early. Once they fight, they will naturally split. You don't need to control the business, you just need to be able to distribute the benefits and be familiar with the business."

Zhong Zhiling understood what his senior meant. On the one hand, he could use the vacant business manager position to show his goodwill, and on the other hand, his position in the company was not just in the recruitment team. To put it bluntly, it would be easier to get things done with the support of his senior, but he also had to be able to do the work.

He thought about it, worried that his senior brother might have made a misjudgment, and said impartially: "Generally speaking, everyone is working hard to expand the business, but there is a slight tendency to stick together."

"Yes, I know." Yu Xing smiled, "So, this is not the primary problem we need to solve. In addition, after we build this business framework, we will continue to recruit people from outside. By then, there will be experienced people from 51job and ChinaHR. The team will also be pulled in to disrupt. Zhiling, you also have to get to know people."

He looked at his junior's thoughtful expression and mentioned another small matter: "Oh, yes, Sun Manhe went to the next door, and I still need a secretary. Please show me the resumes that have been submitted recently this afternoon and I will pick someone."

Zhong Zhiling agreed, and after a few seconds he asked carefully, "Girls are more careful, right?"

"No." Yu Xing flatly denied it and said, "It should be a man. Men can stay up late more easily."

Zhong Zhiling opened his mouth but didn't ask, and felt he couldn't figure out his senior brother's thoughts.

In the evening, Yu Xing received a stack of resumes, but after reading a few of them, he noticed that some had been ticked, indicating that they had been selected. This was not a big deal, but one person's resume actually stated experience with "Jiahan Forestry".

He found it funny and wondered if he would need to wear a helmet at work in the future.

A moment later, Chang Haijie, who had ticked the box for the resume, walked into the office.

"Is this Jiao Chenghan the person you want to use?" Yu Xing asked. "I saw that he was in Jiahan Forestry before. How come he is working there?"

Chang Haijie nodded in acknowledgment and added, “Mr. Yu, I recommended him. He was my schoolmate. His main job at Sino-Forest was to connect with the media. I know Sino-Forest sued us, but he was not involved in that. It was precisely because of this connection that I talked to him and he felt that he could not stay at Sino-Forest any longer.”

Yu Xing remained silent, which made it difficult to comment.

Seeing that his boss didn't say anything, Chang Haijie continued, "Jiahan Forestry is a fraud, but Jiao Chenghan is a good person. He has a good work attitude. He comes from an average family and worked part-time while in school. There will be no problem if he comes here."

"I just think it's a bit of a coincidence..." Yu Xing sighed inexplicably.

Chang Haijie thought the boss was talking about the connection with the lawsuit, and finally said: "Well... an employee like him can't know the fate of the company, but I can guarantee him!"

Yu Xing was about to speak when he suddenly realized something. Oh, yes, not to mention Jiao Chenghan, the Chang Haijie in front of him was the one who jumped from Fenzhong Media.

He couldn't help but smile.

Chang Haijie looked at his boss in confusion.

Yu Xing shook his head: "If you gather all seven, you can summon a dragon. Okay, you promised it, how can I not trust you? Okay, I'm just asking you out of curiosity."

Chang Haijie breathed a sigh of relief, took the resume handed to him by his boss, and successfully completed the internal referral to the alumnus.

Yu Xing waited until Chang Haijie left the office, then casually searched for the latest developments of Jiahan Forestry, and found quite a lot.

The research report over the mountain was like a nail that nailed Sino-Forest to the ground like a earthworm. It couldn't run away, but its body was still twisting and turning desperately.

The day before yesterday, Sino-Forest officially announced that it had established an independent investigation committee and hired PricewaterhouseCoopers to assist in the investigation. It also stated that independent auditing accountants could contact any "authorized intermediary agency" to conduct an investigation, but it was expected to take at least two months.

Yesterday, Sino-Forest's founder Chen Deyuan suddenly announced his voluntary resignation from the positions of chairman, CEO and director, awaiting the committee's investigation results. In the evening, four other foreign executives also announced their resignation and would no longer perform their duties.

This morning, two major rating agencies, Moody's and Standard & Poor's, both announced a downgrade of Sino-Forest's ratings.

Moody's downgraded Sino-Forest's family rating and senior unsecured bond rating from B1 to Caa1, and said it would continue to review and did not rule out further downgrades.

S&P downgraded Sino-Forest's rating to CCC- with a "negative" outlook. At the same time, its debt rating of unsecured bonds and convertible bonds was downgraded from B to CCC-, and the Greater China system credit rating of the above bonds was lowered to cnCCC-. All ratings are no longer included in the watch list.

According to a senior Moody's analyst who was interviewed, the nature of the situation currently exposed by Sino-Forest is quite serious, and the stock suspension and the resignation of senior executives such as Chen Deyuan will greatly increase the pressure on the company's operations and obtaining working capital.

Simply put, everyone thinks that Sino-Forest is probably beyond saving this time.

As soon as the two major rating agencies came forward, both the major shareholders who suffered losses and ordinary investors expressed in different ways that they would pursue Chen Deyuan's legal responsibility, because the prospect of losing all the money in their stocks became increasingly clear...

Yu Xing looked for detailed information about Chen Deyuan and found out his latest situation, suspecting that this guy might have already run away.

Chen Deyuan will definitely be sued in the future, maybe it will be a class action lawsuit, and the claim for compensation will most likely be billions.

"Tsk." Yu Xing sighed and used the words that were often talked about by many people, "Scams will last forever." He closed the browser page and continued to select suitable full-time and part-time employees. He soon identified a graduate who had an exchange experience in Hong Kong.

OK, Zhang Yangxu, it’s you.

The name sounds very masculine and he can definitely stay up late to help collect information.

Yu Xing took out his resume and made a phone call to inform Bai Xiaosheng of the adjustment in his job.

Zhang Yangxu, who was in the rental house, unexpectedly received a call from Bai Xiaosheng's boss. He was extremely excited. On the one hand, he quickly expressed his willingness to become Mr. Yu's assistant, and on the other hand, he expressed his personal liking for him.

Zhang Yangxu graduated from Shanghai University of Technology. Well, it is said that this is the name the school will change in the future, because it just started recruiting graduate students under this name this year. The current graduation certificate is still "Shanghai Institute of Technology".

He was lucky enough to apply for an exchange year in Hong Kong during his sophomore year, but it did not show any advantage when he was looking for a job after graduation this year. However, his original job was confirmed, but that company froze recruiting due to the financial crisis, so he had to continue looking.

I invested in Bai Xiaosheng this time mainly because I like the show "If You Are the One" broadcasted on Dragon TV and I like the style of the founder of Bai Xiaosheng in the show.

Zhang Yangxu applied to the recruitment department and unexpectedly received a call from Dr. Yu. He was very happy.

"Okay, I'll send you an email later to officially approve it." Yu Xing said gently on the phone, "I hope you'll have fun working for me in the future."

Zhang Yangxu thanked Dr. Yu again and again for his favor.

After he hung up the phone, he was stunned for a while before he reacted, as if he didn't hear Dr. Yu talk about salary.

Well, it shouldn’t be too little, and the job content of the president’s secretary should be quite good.

Thinking so, Zhang Yangxu opened his mailbox and received an email from Bai Xiaosheng, confirming that he would soon join Bai Xiaosheng's president's office.

He was happy for a while, and then he became a little worried. Could he do a good job?

Zhang Yangxu picked up his phone and wanted to take a photo of the email to send to his family, but as soon as he opened the camera, he saw another unread email in the mailbox.

He clicked it and question marks popped up in his mind.

This was an email from a company claiming to be "Wall Street Research". The content was very simple, asking whether I was interested in doing a part-time job tracking the movements of the well-known fund manager Paulson and his funds. The remuneration was five thousand per month.

Zhang Yangxu stared blankly at the inexplicable email, and after a while an idea emerged - spy!
Then he denied the idea in confusion. What kind of spy would let him track the work of a Wall Street fund?

Five thousand dollars...

part time……

Zhang Yangxu licked his lips and a similar thought popped up in his mind: Can he do a good job?
He put down his phone and stopped taking pictures, suspecting it was a prank from a classmate.

Zhang Yangxu thought for a long time and carefully replied to an email asking about the details of the part-time job.

What if it's true?

The next day, Zhang Yangxu met his favorite show guest Dr. Yu with dark circles under his eyes.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Yu Xing noticed the man's sleeping condition.

"Yes, Mr. Yu, I, I am so excited about this job!" Zhang Yangxu was indeed excited. He felt that he was lucky enough to suddenly get two jobs that he could do together.

Yu Xing smiled and said, "Well, I forgot to tell you about the salary yesterday. The previous assistant's monthly salary was 5000 yuan, but it was paid 14 months a year, and there were some year-end bonuses. There will also be opportunities to get options in the future. Of course, this sounds like a pie in the sky, but I am confident that it can be achieved."

Zhang Yangxu was slightly stunned. Another 5000?

He took a breath and said, "Okay, Mr. Yu, I have no problem with the salary. I hope to get training by your side."

Yu Xing smiled and said with a double meaning: "Well, if you work hard, your salary will continue to increase in the future. You should report to the human resources department first."

Zhang Yangxu left Bai Xiaosheng's office and went to meet the HR, only to go through the process in a daze.

When he returned to the rental house, he suddenly let out a long sigh. Working for Bai Xiaosheng while doing part-time research for Wall Street, was he considered... a two-faced person?

Uh, I don’t know how long this part-time job can last.

What if, what if this research company asks me to conduct a research on Bai Xiaosheng in the future?
Zhang Yangxu was confused for a while and still felt that his luck was bizarre, but he gradually accepted the gift of fate.

Before going to bed, he had a happy thought that he could send money home next month.

……

Bai Xiaosheng's work is proceeding normally and is not affected by the first lawsuit. He still strictly follows the downward expansion route.

Red Falcon Capital quietly rented two offices and began to use Bai Xiaosheng's recruitment package to find suitable employees and also expand its organizational strength.

On the last day of August, Bai Xiaosheng found an employee for Hongshun who also came from a consulting company. However, Liu Wanying failed to reach an agreement with this person and had to continue looking. However, reminded by this resume, she began to set her sights on her former colleagues.

On the first day of September, my cousin Chu Zhiguang asked for two days off to go home.

Yu Xing wondered, "What are you going back for? Is there something wrong at home?"

Chu Zhiguang said with some resentment: "Boss Yu, brother, I basically don't have any vacation. I thought I would come here to enjoy the good life, but now I'm either traveling south or north. Even the weekends are full of things. I'm really working like a slave... I miss home..."

Yu Xing thought about it and said, "Okay, then I'll give you two more days off. You can drive my car back home and fill the trunk with my uncle's grapes when you come back."

Chu Zhiguang thought of the scenery of driving back in a Mercedes-Benz and smiled happily: "Brother, do you miss the taste of grapes from your hometown too?"

"Yeah, I miss you, I miss you." Yu Xing said perfunctorily, and instructed, "When you bring back the grapes, take them directly to the company of Today Capital and say that they are grapes grown by us. Let them have a taste."

Chu Zhiguang hesitated: "Grapes are not valuable..."

Yu Xing nodded and said, "Yes, but our kindness is valuable. Jianghu is not about fighting and killing. We should also give some worldly wisdom occasionally."
