Chapter 103 Human Resources Director
"Shen Boyu, male, 40 years old, from Jiangsu Province, graduated from Shanghai Jiaotong University."
In the cafe downstairs of the Financial Building, Gu Junhao carefully looked at the information sent by Qin Guangyuan. Since Gu Junhao made specific requests to him, Qin Guangyuan has sent resumes of many people one after another. Gu Junhao valued Shen Boyu's resume the most.
After returning to Beicang from Yang City and resting for a night, Gu Junhao was full of energy today. After sending Zhang Yiru to work, he went directly to the agreed interview location, Junshi Capital in the Financial Building.
Although there was still nearly an hour before the agreed time of ten o'clock, Gu Junhao was not in a hurry. He had not been here since he rented this place, and Zhang Yiru took care of the cleaning when she had time.
The office has not changed much except that it is much cleaner than before it was rented and some new desks and chairs have been added. It was previously the site of a small investment company, but they moved to Ningbo, so it became vacant.
After walking around and finding nothing interesting, Gu Junhao went downstairs to the cafe downstairs in the building, where he looked at some information while waiting for Shen Boyu to arrive.
Shen Boyu has a good resume. He graduated from a prestigious university and once started his own business. He currently works for a well-known financial institution in the industry as deputy director of human resources. The company is located in Hangzhou.
Shen Boyu is 40 years old, which means he is in his prime. He has both academic qualifications and resume, but Qin Guangyuan actually persuaded him to come to Ningbo in person to interview a startup company that currently has no employees except the boss. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a shell company, and the boss only has a high school education.
The 985 university in Jiangsu Province is the best among the best. It is unreasonable for such a talent to apply for the job. But it actually happened. We can only say that Qin Guangyuan is really good as a headhunter. Of course, it may also be that Gu Junhao's offer was attractive enough.
It is impossible to kill more than an hour with just a few pages of resume, but Gu Junhao does not plan to look at stocks. If he does not understand the results, it may affect his mood for the following interview.
It was difficult to just sit there, drinking coffee and looking at the scenery outside the window; it was rare to have such leisure time, and during this period of workdays, Gu Junhao had never been so leisurely before, as he had always spent his time watching the market.
When he is not busy and can be alone, Gu Junhao likes to just sit there and daydream quietly, letting his mind empty. This is a way for him to rest.
At about 9:40, Gu Junhao's phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. Ever since he was preparing to start his own company, Gu Junhao no longer dared to block unknown calls. Fortunately, information leakage was less likely to occur these days than in later times, and harassing calls were not particularly exaggerated.
However, this should not be a harassing call. It is most likely Shen Boyu, and the number is in the Hangzhou area.
"Hello."
"Hello, is this Mr. Gu? I'm Shen Boyu, and I'm downstairs in the Financial Building now."
"Director Shen, you're here so early. Have you seen the Starbucks downstairs? I'm here. Let's sit here for a while." As expected, it was Shen Boyu. I didn't expect that he would arrive 20 minutes early.
"Okay, I'll be right over. See you later."
"See you later."
After a while, a middle-aged man in a suit and standing straight appeared at the entrance of the cafe. It was Shen Boyu: "Director Shen, this way."
During working hours, there were few people in the cafe except the waiters. Gu Junhao stood up in the corner and waved to Shen Boyu.
"Mr. Gu is younger than I thought." Shen Boyu stood in front of Gu Junhao and said after looking him over.
"Please sit down. If you would like something to drink, I'll order it for you." Gu Junhao said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Gu. I'd like an Americano."
"Okay, wait a moment." After a while, Gu Junhao returned to his seat and said, "This is the first time I've ordered something other than mocha at Starbucks."
"Oh, what do you mean, Mr. Gu?" Shen Boyu asked curiously.
"The first time I came to Starbucks, I ordered a mocha. After that, I ordered a mocha every time. Gradually, I got used to it."
"What about your girlfriend?"
"She? She also drinks mocha with me."
"Then I'll try mocha next time." Shen Boyu said after thinking for a while.
"Okay, let's get back to the point. First, let me express my personal curiosity. Why did Director Shen like our company?"
"I just came here for an interview and to try my luck because of the good salary. How can Mr. Gu be interested in me?" Shen Boyu said with a smile.
"You just said you'd try Mocha next time, so I'll take that as your favorite."
"Okay, I'm glad you found me. I was just planning to come over to take a look, but after seeing Mr. Gu, I decided to stay."
“Why do you have such an idea?”
"First of all, from my own perspective, there is no hope for promotion at the moment, and the price you offer is enough to make me tempted." The director of the agency where Shen Boyu currently works is only a few years older than him. It is too difficult for him to get promoted normally, which is also one of the most important reasons why he wants to change jobs.
What's more, the treatment offered by Gu Junhao made him unable to resist. Not only did he double his current annual salary, but he also gave him a one-time compensation of 24 months' current average salary. This way, he didn't have to worry about his company not being able to continue and not having a buffer period.
With this 24 months of salary compensation, I will be more confident when looking for a job on my own.
Looking at Gu Junhao, Shen Boyu continued, "Secondly, I also know some of your past. You have won many battles and have many fans. You should not worry too much about raising funds. Even if no one is optimistic about you, you can raise the first fund by yourself."
"Assuming there is no need to worry about external factors, the first thing you should think of is to recruit an experienced human resources director and make use of his personal connections to save the company a lot of manpower costs." Personal connections are what Gu Junhao lacks the most, but he was able to think of this quickly and integrate the personal connections of others to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.
As a person in a high position, you don't need to know everything, nor do you need to hold on to everything. As long as you can hold on to the key people in key positions, that's enough. In Shen Boyu's opinion, although Gu Junhao was starting a business for the first time, he undoubtedly realized this point.
"Another point is that you just said you only ordered mocha because you're used to it." It's just a habit, it doesn't mean you don't drink anything else; you have your own persistence and can adapt to other ways, which is mature but not rigid.
"Well, originally I thought it would take some effort to convince Director Shen to stay, but now it seems that you have convinced yourself. Then I wish us a happy cooperation." Gu Junhao stood up and stretched out his hand with a smile.
"It's a pleasure working with you." Shen Boyu also said with a smile. He didn't know if what he did was right, but at least he could give it a try.
"Then let's go to the office upstairs and sit down. I'll talk to Director Shen about the company's specific plans."
Arriving at the office, the two of them sat down and Gu Junhao got straight to the point: "First of all, I want to dispel some of Director Shen's doubts. First, since I dare to offer Mr. Shen a double premium, you don't have to doubt my determination to do this. Second, you don't have to worry about maintaining the company's normal operating funds. At least it will be within your two-year compensation."
"So our interests are shared, and the probability of success and failure is 50-50. If I succeed, you will succeed too. If I fail, you will just go back to where you were before, and you won't suffer any financial loss."
Hearing this, Shen Boyu nodded unconsciously. It was indeed true. Although he had no shares in Junshi Capital and only received a salary, he was actually somewhat similar to Gu Junhao's entrepreneurial partner. Otherwise, he would not have offered such a high premium to poach people. If one wanted to find a suitable human resources director, there was no need to spend such a huge price.
When thinking of the word "entrepreneurship", Shen Boyu couldn't help but recall his entrepreneurial experience when he was young. Looking at Gu Junhao, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"In addition, the fund raising work has basically been completed. Director Shen just needs to build the company's framework as soon as possible, and our first fund can be officially launched."
"Has the funds been raised? May I ask the specific amount?" Shen Boyu said with some surprise. He didn't expect Gu Junhao to be so fast.
"Not much, currently 30 million. There may be more, or there may not be. But there is no problem in maintaining the company's formal operations." This is not a confidential matter, so there is no problem in telling him in advance.
"30 million is not a small amount. Mr. Gu is amazing." Shen Boyu nodded. 30 million is indeed not a small amount for a newcomer. It can even be said to be beyond expectations. With this 30 million raised, the company should have no problem maintaining profitability.
"Well, since Director Shen has no questions, then we have officially reached an agreement. Please print out the formal contract later. I will sign the contract, and Director Shen will be the number one employee of Junshi Capital."
"It's my honor. Please take care of me in the future, Mr. Gu ."
"It's not so much about caring for each other, but let's cooperate with each other, let's start from today. I'll have to trouble Director Shen for the company's recruitment. Let's build a team as soon as possible. If there's anything you need me to do, Director Shen, just let me know."
"Okay, in that case, I will go back this afternoon, and then I will screen the candidates I think are suitable, and then send their resumes to you, Mr. Gu."
"No problem. It's just that Director Shen thinks it's a suitable talent. Director Shen can try to contact him first and see if he can increase the salary by a certain premium. As for the specific premium, you can decide it yourself. The premium range can be between 50% and 100% ."
"No problem. I feel relieved with your words, Mr. Gu." Gu Junhao gave a suitable premium, which gave him a lot of room for negotiation and made things much easier.
"Of course, we should save as much as possible. It is better to get 30% instead of 50%."
"Mr. Gu, you just said you had no shortage of funds, but now..."
"Haha, I was just joking with Director Shen, but as for traders, you really don't need to hire someone too expensive. Freshly graduated college graduates will do. I won't interfere with other talents."
"Why? Isn't the trader an important part of a fund?" Shen Boyu asked with some confusion.
"Is there any trader more suitable than me?" Gu Junhao said confidently.
"Oh, that's true. I understand. Mr. Gu, do you have any other instructions? If not, I will rush back and try to open the company as soon as possible."
Shen Boyu was speechless at Gu Junhao's confident attitude. However, considering his delivery orders in Taoguba, which were almost all full-position T transactions, he was indeed worthy of his confidence.
"No, go back. I'll be waiting for your good news in Beicang."
