Chapter 55 Recruitment
"Haoge, you see that there is a Northern Dynasty company here that is recruiting people. Why don't we try it?"
Haoge looked up and looked at the large recruitment advertisement posted on the street sign. This is a new company located in a prosperous office building in Seattle. It seems to be engaged in the electronics industry. Their advertisements indicate the recruitment requirements.
Aged 24 to 30, with relevant professional experience, good looks, graduated from university...
The unemployment rate in the United States was as high as 6.6% in 1994, so it was not easy to find a job. Haoge silently compared it and found that he was barely in line with everything. He had been at home for a long time, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart and nodded to his wife.
Dream office building on the banks of Lake Washington, southeast of Seattle.
Haoge sorted out his suit in front of the mirror stainless steel of the elevator. He had a typical German-American appearance. He was blue like the eyes of the sea, with blond hair like wheat ears and straight nose. Combined with his 1.88-meter-old man, just looking at his appearance, he was indeed very outstanding.
The elevator made a "ding" sound and arrived at the 17th floor. As soon as he walked out of the elevator, he saw a yellow man waving his hammer and nailing a strange logo to the wall. The logo seemed to be an instrument in the middle of a tube. Hey? Is this an industrial equipment company? He was a little confused. The advertisement said that it seemed to be engaged in the electronics industry.
He waited until the man nailed the logo. Then he asked hesitantly: "Hey, is this the Northern Dynasty Company?"
The yellow man jumped off the ladder and smiled and said, "Hello, this is the Northern Dynasties Company. Are you here to apply for a job?"
"Oh, yes." Haoge nodded and asked, "How do you get to the recruitment office?"
"Take it." The man stretched out his hand and said.
"Hey, what?" Hao Ge was stunned. Does this company still have to charge a fee for asking for directions?
"Resume! My name is Zhou Shuo, but you can just call me Joey. This is my English name." Zhou Shuo wiped his hands with a towel, took the resume of the rich and started reading it.
Haoge asked confusedly: "Hello Joey, are you the interviewer in charge of the first exam?"
Zhou Shuo shook his head and said, "Me? No, I am the boss of this company."
Boss? Haoge is not a racist person, but it is still hard to believe that this young yellow man with a foreign accent could rent such a large office building. He couldn't help but ask: "Are you Japanese? Singapore or Taiwanese?"
Zhou Shuo said without raising his head: "None of them, I am from mainland China."
"Chinese? Really?" Haoge said in disbelief.
Zhou Shuo shrugged. This is not the first time this happened. Americans in this era seem to be unable to accept a mainland Chinese who did not appear in Chinese restaurants or laundry shops.
"Mainland Chinese, Hong Kong and Taiwan are also China," he emphasized.
"Have you worked in software sales at St. Neuer?" Zhou Shuo opened the door and asked while walking.
Haoge nodded and said, "Yes, we sell an electronic office software. Unfortunately, we lost to Microsoft's word."
At this time, word was not a member of Office. Although word6.0 was widely ridiculed and did have various shortcomings. But like other Microsoft products, even if it was not easy to use, it was still unstoppable in 1994. Some competitors who had characteristics but did not have the advantage of platform support were defeated at this stage. Oh, by the way, this is the same as other Microsoft enemies.
Zhou Shuo asked a few more questions, and when Haoge answered them very smoothly, he nodded without feeling satisfied.
He walked into an office, inside it was a huge floor-to-ceiling window, and outside it was the vast Lake Washington area. He placed his resume on the table, pointed to the chair beside him and said, "Please sit, Mr. Haoge."
Seeing that he did it, Zhou Shuo pinched his chin and said, "I have read your resume, which basically meets our requirements. There are a few questions now, and I must explain them in advance."
Haoge unconsciously sat upright and listened to him intently.
"First of all, our company is a branch of China Xinke Computer Technology Co., Ltd. in the United States. That is to say, if you have this kind of thing, you may ask you to go on a business trip in China. Secondly, our company is still invented, and the work situation is definitely more cumbersome, and you need to be responsible for your work. Of course, the wages you should pay will definitely not be less. Finally, our company will never allow racial discrimination. Can you do all this?"
Haoge thought for a while, nodded vigorously and said, "I don't think I have any problems."
"Then I wish us a happy cooperation!" Zhou Shuo stretched out his hand, held it with him and continued, "Then I will hand you the first job next, pick up the hammer and nail the company's logo, Mr. Haoge."
Haoge stood in front of the company's gate, holding the hammer for a moment. He thought to himself, why did he feel like he had entered a black store...
On the first day of Haoge's work, I watched the moving company fill the empty floors little by little, the housekeeping company cleaned the messy office area, the decoration company transported flowers, plants, trees and various soft decorations, the telephone company brought telephone lines, and the office equipment company transported electronic products and various consumables...
In this way, when he was freed from his busy pace, a floor that had originally had nothing, it had become a high-end, atmospheric and high-end office area.
Zhou Shuo walked out of the independent office inside, clapped his hands, and shouted, "Okay, everyone come to the office and let's have a meeting."
Haoge looked around and saw that there were already many colleagues around him. Everyone greeted each other, walked into the conference room, and casually found a seat to sit down.
Zhou Shuo sat directly in front of the conference table, Yu Qiong and Pang Zhou sat on both sides of him one by one. Seeing that everyone was here, he stood up and said, "Hello, ladies, welcome to join Northern Dynasties Computer Technology Co., Ltd...."
After a brief speech, he continued: "The staffing configuration is basically fully equipped, but the company must do its best to prepare for participating in the COMDEX exhibition. There are many things and hard work, so I'm afraid there will not be too much time to give everyone training."
He pointed to Yu Qiong beside him and said, "Ms. Jones will be responsible for the work of the technical department, and Mr. Pang De--" Zhou Shuo pointed to Pang Zhou on the other side and continued, "He will be the general manager and be responsible for the normal operation of the company."
Then he pointed at himself and said, "I am the chairman of Northern Dynasties in China and will not be based in the United States. But until the company can operate normally, I will stay here until you can work independently."
Everyone at the table had different expressions. Although Zhou Shuo emphasized during the recruitment period that this was a Chinese company and that racial discrimination was never allowed. However, the Americans present still had a strange mood at this moment.
Zhou Shuo opened the projector on the desk and projected the computer screen on the wall behind him and said, "This is an ERP software sold by our company to Microsoft. Our strategy is to get more targeted development projects with special requirements. Microsoft itself is unwilling to do such troublesome business, but we are different. Every company has its own business philosophy, and many companies have their own needs to customize themselves. Even if it is small, we will never give up."
As he said that, he introduced the functions of the software one by one. A software engineer below raised his hand and said, "Boss, we only have five people in the technical department. It may take us a long time to make software with such complex functions."
Zhou Shuo nodded and said, "Don't worry, the company's technical department will expand in the future. However, before that, you must hurry up and learn the operation system of the ERP software and be able to write its architecture independently."
"Okay, I'm fine." The engineer put his hand down.
Zhou Shuo turned his head and said to the sales staff: "Your first task is to thoroughly grasp the design ideas of the entire ERP software system before the COMDEX exhibition. Is there any problem?"
He saw that the people below stopped talking and nodded and said, "Since everyone has no problems, then today's meeting will end here. I have a software manual here that explains the design ideas of the ERP system in detail. You can take it back and study it carefully. Next, everyone can get off work."
After the meeting, everyone came out in a row and returned home with their tired bodies that had been working hard for a day.
Haoge drove home with the ERP software manual brought back from the company with his arm.
"Hi, Haoge, have you found a new job?" His wife asked casually when she saw him opening the door.
"Yeah, I found it." Haoge casually placed the instruction manual by the door and took off his suit and tie.
"Really? That's great!" The wife rushed over, hugged him, and kissed him hard.
Haoge sniffed his nose, his eyes lit up and said, "Oh, wife, what smells so good? Did you know I could find a job today, so prepare for dinner in advance?"
The wife said proudly: "It's my new Chinese cuisine, "Zuo Zongtang Chicken". It's very difficult to make! The Raymond and his wife are coming to our house as a guest, and they are so angry that Deborah!"
Haoge patted his forehead and said in confusion: "God, aren't you sisters? Why are you so keen to compete with each other?"
The wife brought the mixed salad to the table and hummed a tune and said, "You don't understand, this is the joy of our women's life!"
Haoge touched her waist from behind and whispered: "Wife, stop working now. I feel that my body is full of strength again! Let's take advantage of the fact that the children have not come back yet..."
"Woo--"
As night fell, the Raymonds' cars quietly stopped at the door of the Haoge family.
As soon as the door ring of the dingling dingling dingling passed, the wife of Haoge, with a flushed face, opened the door and screamed exaggeratedly and hugged Deborah.
Raymond shook his head and suddenly saw a book on the windowsill next to the door, and he whispered in the light.
Chapter completed!
