Chapter 29 Assistant
00,000 Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to US$440,000. To say more or less, it is a income of three or five days. For Teresa Teng, it is the income of three records or five concerts. For most ordinary people in Hong Kong, it is an income that needs to be fought for twenty years.
In 19RU, even if a famous company such as HSBC Bank, its manager-level Chinese employees had an annual salary of only a few hundred thousand, which was already awesome. Chen Chong recruited an assistant to the president this time, and the starting salary was 00,000 Hong Kong dollars. The dividend was calculated separately, which naturally shocked the Chinese business elites in Hong Kong.
Qianjin Ma Gu, Chen Chong was forced to do so. You should know that if there were no dividends in shares, the salary of the super veteran Huang Xin was only RU 10,000. However, Oriental Charm's foundation is not thick enough, the brand is not bright enough, and without high salary, how can it attract high-end talents to change jobs from multinational companies...
1979 was a year of rapid progress, and 19dU was a year of rest and recuperation. He planned to group, regularize and institutionalize its companies, media departments mainly based on movies, entertainment departments mainly based on games, financial departments mainly based on investment, internal affairs departments mainly based on R&D, and technology departments mainly based on R&D. All five companies need to be reconstructed, change the current pattern of loose sand and manage in a unified manner.
If he keeps doing everything himself, it won't take long to go away. Chen Chong will either be exhausted or annoyed. He needs five department managers who are nominally assistants and who can actually be the one-sided department managers to help with management.
So he not only advertised heavily in newspapers, attracting talents to come and invested actively, but also hired international headhunting companies to waving hoes everywhere and poach people.
Hong Kong does not have the scientific research capabilities of digital films, and the R&D department's "Movie Power" laboratory will inevitably be located in Silicon Valley. The candidate for the supervisor was decided before New Year's Day. He dug up a vice president from Texas Instruments, and there is no need to consider it now.
The game department is relatively complicated. Some are in the United States, with Activision as the base, some are in Japan, with the newly acquired K as the base, while local to Hong Kong is James responsible for the management and Wen Renjie is responsible for the research and development. It is still in the forging stage and has not yet opened.
The game industry is not mature at this time, and even if the supervisors are short of time, it doesn’t matter if they fight on their own. Moreover, the market of this industry is mainly in Japan and the United States, and recruiting supervisors in Hong Kong is a bit nonsensical.
In the battle of investing in Sony, Yuan Tianfan successfully proved his means and strength, and could be the head of the financial investment department. In addition, Chen Chong had heard of his reputation in his previous life. After the stock market crash in 1987, he was appointed as the CEO of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. He was only 35 years old at the time and was the youngest president of the securities exchange in the world. In the late 1990s, he joined Hutchison Whampoa and became Li Ka-shing's right-hand man and the working emperor as famous as Hutchison Whampoa.
These three departments are temporarily worry-free. The remaining two departments, one is internal management and the other is core business, which is the top priority and the most important position, so Shen Chong spent a lot of money to recruit, and the two-pronged strategy has surprisingly good results, which makes him a little unbelievable. There were more than a dozen people in the final interview in the two positions, and one-third of these people have heard of them in his previous life.
"Mr. Zhang Yonglin, thank you for participating in the interview." Chen Chong drew a checkmark on his resume and said, "I'll ask the last question. If you get this job, when will you be able to go to work at the latest?
"Next Monday." Zhang Yonglin thought for a while, then confirmed: "Four days are enough to complete the resignation procedures.
"Okay." Chen Chong closed his resume, stood up, shook hands with him, and said, "As soon as there is a result, I will notify you personally. Vivian and send Mr. Zhang to me."
Zhang Yonglin was the last interviewer. After he left, Chen Chong took out a stack of resumes from the cabinet under the desk, took out the top one, put it together with Zhang Yonglin's resume, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After graduating from the Department of Economics and Political Science at the University of Hong Kong in 1971, Zhang Yonglin joined Cathay Pacific Airways and was responsible for management. He has been working for nine years and has rich experience. He is an ideal candidate for housekeeping.
Chen Chong also heard of him in his previous life. At the peak of the Internet bubble in UU, Li Zekai's Yingke Digital and Hong Kong Telecom merged into PCCW, involving a total amount of up to HK$90 billion, which was the second only to the merger of Time Warner and L at that time. The key figure in this merger was Zhang Yonglin, who was then the CEO of Hong Kong Telecom. According to reports at that time, he was rated as the best executive in Asia by the media for several consecutive years.
In addition to Zhang Yonglin, another surname is Zhang, named Zhang Zhengfu, who is the scheduled media department manager. Chen Chong now has financial magazines, news magazines, entertainment magazines, and a newspaper. Each one is operated independently and cannot form a system. It cannot form a group advantage. It requires a senior media person to help organize and integrate.
Zhang Zhengfu did not take the initiative to apply for the job, but was a candidate strongly recommended by the headhunter company.
Chen Chong also heard of Zhang Zhengfu's name in his previous life, because his wife is Hong Kong's palace-level movie star Xiao Fangfang. Apart from that, he knew nothing. After reading the resume, he realized that this was a super big guy.
On the resume provided by the headhunter, the opening comment is written like this - a senior manager of Hong Kong media, a master of Hong Kong's journalism, a founder of the Hong Kong TV news system, and a founder of the journalism major of Hong Kong colleges and universities.
In 19Ul, Zhang Zhengfu served as editor-in-chief of AFP's Hong Kong branch, reporting news from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places. He successively served as reporters, news editors, TV program supervisors, TV news department directors, etc. He began to teach at the Hong Kong Baptist Academy in 2019. At present, the anchors and senior managers of the news department of two Hong Kong TV stations are almost all his students. The news editing and reporting system and reporting form of Hong Kong TV was also established by him. He said that he is a master in the Hong Kong news media industry and deserves his reputation.
This kind of person who has been dealing with news all his life to manage the Far East Economic Review and Asia Weekly is the most appropriate thing. Chen Chong did not interview in the office, but took the time to visit him in person. After the conversation, he was quite moved, but he had not decided whether to change jobs.
After seeing off Zhang Yonglin, Gu Liwei returned to the office and asked, "Mr. Chen, is there anything else?"
"Remember it and remind me to call Zhang Yonglin tomorrow afternoon and ask him to come and sign the employment contract." After Chen Chong finished speaking, he took out a few copies from the resume pile and said, "Keep these well, I may use them in the future."
"OK."
"By the way, remember it." Chen Chong said: "When he comes to work, I may not be in Hong Kong. You can hand over the operation plan of the videotape flagship store to him and let him take responsibility. It must be done before the Spring Festival."
"But Mr. Chen, he will be able to come to work next week. It's only about ten days before the Spring Festival. Is it too late?"
"No problem." Shen Chong bounced his finger and said, "The shops have been rented and the decoration is under construction. What he has to do is just coordinated management. Although it is a bit tight in ten days, it is just right for him to try his level."
Gu Liwei nodded. After she remembered it, she asked, "Isn't this thing done with those clubs?"
"Those who are in the world are all masters who don't see rabbits or eagles." Chen Chongshao smiled and said, "If I don't make a model first, they won't pay. Only after the flagship store makes achievements will they flock in."
