What's wrong with me being a rich man?

Chapter 223 221 Interview
In the two weeks before the Spring Festival, Yu Xing became busy.

He frequently screened and looked for suitable team members, either by offering them large sums of money, or by offering them large sums of money, in an effort to build a highly capable technical team - he had no choice but to show his sincerity in this way.

Fortunately, everyone generally believed that this did show sincerity, so things went relatively smoothly.

Among them, Ge Zhijie from Baidu was particularly impressive.

Yu Xing himself didn't know much about technology, so in addition to his own original employees who participated in the interview, he also temporarily borrowed people from local Internet companies to conduct an interview together.

As the final decision maker, Yu Xing planned to communicate with his interviewer afterwards to confirm Ge Zhijie's technical level and team leadership ability. However, he almost realized that this person's level was excellent just by observing.

Halfway through the interview, it was clearly five people interviewing Ge Zhijie in a group, but as the conversation went on it seemed as if Ge Zhijie was interviewing the five people alone.

Yu Xing observed everyone's reactions. Ge Zhijie became more and more relaxed as he talked, the three people from his own company became more and more sweaty, and the two people who were borrowed became more and more solemn as they talked. The situation was quite obvious.

The interview ended at 11:30 am.

Yu Xing first thanked and rewarded the five helpers, and then had a one-on-one communication with Ge Zhijie.

"Doctor, how is it?" Ge Zhijie was sitting in the office, and his first sentence was quite confident.

Yu Xing now has a rough method of judging certain people's attitudes. If the other party calls him "Doctor", his mentality may be more relaxed. If he calls him "Mr. Yu", his mentality or the content of the conversation may be more formal.

This even works for Xiaoying, but she calls him Boss Yu.

"I think it's great. Of course, I can't say anything about the technical aspect." Yu Xing's words made Ge Zhijie smile. The second half of the sentence suddenly changed, "But I heard Mr. Ge mention that you are optimistic about the two emerging mobile phone operating systems, iOS and Android. I think you are very perceptive."

Apple and Android have demonstrated strong vitality, Symbian is also declining, but it will take some time for Nokia to collapse.

When Yu Xing heard Ge Zhijie talk about his firm optimism about the new system, he felt that this was an indirect confirmation.

"Well, I saw that Bai Xiaosheng also reviewed the Apple phone. Actually, this view is not surprising." Ge Zhijie hesitated for a moment and did not brag. Instead, he said, "I believe that users who have really used Symbian, Apple, and Android can simply feel the huge difference. I found it hard to imagine that Nokia would lag behind like this before, but let's respect the facts."

Yu Xing smiled and said, "There is a difference between being optimistic and being absolutely confident. Originally, I wanted to summarize their judgments before discussing it, but I changed my mind temporarily and asked Teacher Ge to stay because I felt that there was no need to discuss it. It's you."

Ge Zhijie did not respond immediately, but asked curiously: "Bai Xiaosheng has its own recruitment business, why doesn't it use headhunters to recruit people?"

Yu Xing asked back: "How do you know I'm useless? They actually did the screening first, and then I contacted and communicated with them myself, hoping that the development team could do the best within my scope, but now it seems that Teacher Ge is a surprise beyond my scope."

Ge Zhijie was not excited by the compliment. Instead, he said very honestly, "Boss Yu, well... to be honest, the interview is a two-way process. You should understand that I am willing to come for the interview, so I must have really thought about it. However, I am a little hesitant to actually fly from Beijing to Shanghai. I have to go back and think about it."

Yu Xing nodded, not anxiously, but just asked: "Teacher Ge, what are the specific factors? Let me see if I can solve it. Is it family? Salary? Or something else?"

Ge Zhijie shook his head and said thoughtfully, "I believe that Mr. Yu is serious about making a mobile IM tool, but I really can't figure out how to grow it. Besides, to be honest, after leaving a large Internet company... I may feel a little disappointed."

"This is a huge market, and such a huge market cannot succeed smoothly. It requires hard work. I have already contacted venture capital and obtained start-up funds, and there will be certain financing guarantees in the future." Yu Xing actively lobbied, "This market definitely exists. If we fail in the end, I believe that Mr. Ge's experience in leading our team will be invaluable."

He smiled and said, "Bai Xiaosheng is indeed not big, let alone WeChat, but you have the opportunity to turn the small company into a big one. Well, even if it doesn't work, Mr. Ge, I will try my best and sell you to a big company."

In fact, Ge Zhijie pays more attention to "team leadership experience". Big companies certainly have their advantages, but there are also promotion channels and rules and regulations. If you come here, the degree of freedom will definitely be different.

Just like the Android and Apple that he is optimistic about, he can have a say in the focus of development resources. Ge Zhijie still did not agree immediately, and tried a little: "How about this, Mr. Yu, I will think about it and give you an answer after the new year. In addition, if you don't mind, can you show me the list of people the company is currently contacting?"

"No problem." Yu Xing agreed immediately, and went a step further, saying, "Teacher Ge, I'll give you a company account and you can talk to them in the name of our company. This is considered a private job, and the reward is 100,000. After the new year, you can give me a list of people you think have the ability to meet the requirements."

He simply handed over a large degree of decision-making power.

Trust the people you employ, and be different when you doubt them.

Although it has not been used yet, the gesture has to be made.

This was exactly what Ge Zhijie wanted, but he remained reserved and did not show any excitement. He only shook hands to accept the private job.

Yu Xing enthusiastically invited him to have lunch with him, but Ge Zhijie declined the offer as he came here on Sunday and had to fly back immediately in the afternoon.

Therefore, Yu Xing asked his secretary to drive Ge Zhijie to the airport, so that he could complete the interview with confidence.

In the evening, Zhong Zhiling listened to his senior brother talking about the results of today's meeting. He was quite surprised at his attitude. It seemed that he could get almost anything he wanted, which meant that he could even choose the team himself.

Yu Xing just sighed and said, "That's it. People are still hesitating whether to come. This Ge Zhijie from Baidu may not be the best in China, but he is the best person I can talk to this week."

Therefore, he made a prompt decision, hoping to strike while the iron was hot, but Ge Zhijie, who was at ease, was obviously not completely affected by this "coercion".

"Well... if we compete with Fetion and QQ, it's a bit..." Zhong Zhiling said tactfully, "It's a bit hard to imagine."

"Fetion's response will be slow, otherwise it wouldn't be stuck in its own user group." Yu Xingxian commented, and then organized his words to say, "Of course, the competitive pressure from Penguin is great, but if Penguin only uses QQ to fight, we have a slight chance."

"What I'm most afraid of is that Penguin won't use QQ, but will use the exact same product to push the market. In this way, even if we get a head start for a few months, we may be quickly extinguished by its huge resources."

"But even if that happens, at least we won't lose money. We can just sell the company to Penguin when the time comes."

Yu Xing revealed half of the truth. If it really doesn't work out, it can still be sold.

Zhong Zhiling's eyes lit up: "Just like Guiai.com."

Yu Xing smiled and nodded: "Yes."

The last bit of uneasiness in Zhong Zhiling's heart disappeared. Selling the company was a more experienced path.

"Get ready for the New Year holiday, prepare some New Year's goods, and have a good New Year." Yu Xing rubbed his face and lit another cigarette. "I'll chat with a few more people in the next few days, and then I'll go back."

Zhong Zhiling knew that his senior brother did not put all his hopes on Ge Zhijie, so as to avoid being put in a passive position in the end.

Before he left the office, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Xing, is there really any hope of winning the competition?"

Yu Xing grinned: "Happy New Year."

If you want to make a wish, you should do it during the New Year.
