Chapter 1034 Invitation to Join
Song Chaoyuan admired Xu Hui's way of handling things very much, which also proved Song Chaoyuan's vision in employing people.
However, both in public and in private, Song Chaoyuan still took this matter to heart. He brought it up specifically today, and his purpose was very clear.
"Sister Hui, Zhang Hao's company in Pengcheng is short of people who know how to manage. If Daniel is willing, I hope he can go to Zhang Hao's place to help. You also know that Zhang Hao's main focus is on technology, and he needs reliable people to help him run the company."
"Mr. Zhang's company?" Xu Hui was stunned. Of course she was familiar with Zhang Hao's company. Don't forget that she is the president of Shenghua.
Zhang Hao is not only extremely famous in China, but also well-known in Hong Kong.
The founder of Netscape and Yahoo, this title alone is enough for newcomers in the Internet industry to look up to.
Moreover, the Internet has developed extremely rapidly in recent years. Yahoo under Zhang Hao's name has been conquering the world. In the past few years, it has extended its tentacles to the mainland and established Yahoo China.
In addition, Zhang Hao is now also a member of the board of directors of Shenghua. The investment company founded by Zhang Hao and Shenghua Capital decisively made a series of investments during the Internet bubble period around 2000. It has to be admitted that Zhang Hao's investment vision is as sharp as Song Chaoyuan's, and he also has accurate judgment in the Internet industry.
At present, the capital behind several major domestic portals is almost all related to Zhang Hao and Shenghua Investment. In addition, a few years ago, Zhang Hao directly acquired 20% of Penguin's shares from Mr. Li, whom they just talked about. Combined with the previous venture capital in Penguin, Zhang Hao has actually become the major shareholder of Penguin.
In recent years, after the Internet downturn, the Internet industry has risen again. The stocks of various Internet companies controlled by Zhang Hao have continued to rise, and his wealth has skyrocketed.
In addition, Zhang Hao has also invested in some Internet companies with great potential abroad, especially in the United States. From these, he is undoubtedly the number one person in China's Internet industry and is also well-known around the world.
However, a few years ago, apart from holding shares in those companies for a long time, Zhang Hao rarely directly intervened in the actual operation of these companies. According to Zhang Hao, he no longer had much interest in the operation of Internet companies, and all the wealth he owned had long been an astronomical figure that he could not spend in several lifetimes.
In order to realize his childhood dream, Zhang Hao started a new business and registered a new technology company. This company used drones as its research project and invested a huge amount of money.
In two years, the company has grown rapidly from scratch. Zhang Hao has acquired many advanced technologies and patents through acquisitions and cooperation. Combined with its own research and development and innovation, the company has achieved certain results and attracted attention from all walks of life.
It can be said that this company is Zhang Hao's most concerned company, and it is also very promising from the perspective of future development. Song Yuanchao proposed that Xu Hui's son work in this company, which is definitely a good thing for Daniel.
Xu Hui understood that this was a suggestion made by Song Chaoyuan for her sake. Although Song Chaoyuan said to let Daniel go to help, Xu Hui knew that he was actually giving Daniel an opportunity, an opportunity that others would be eager to get.
For a moment, Xu Hui was deeply moved. She calmed down and said to Song Chaoyuan, "Mr. Song, I appreciate your kindness, but I think that Daniel's going to Mr. Zhang's place..."
"Sister Hui, I think we should directly ask Daniel for his opinion on this matter?" Before Xu Hui could finish her words, Song Chaoyuan waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry about it. I know Daniel's situation. Although he is not in Shenghua, he is qualified in terms of education, ability and experience. Don't think that I am doing this for your sake. The key is that he is suitable for this position. Besides, he is not young anymore. Now is the golden period for a man to do things. There is no future for him to continue working in his current company. It is better to find a suitable job. Once he misses this opportunity, it is unknown whether he will have such a good opportunity again in the future."
Xu Hui hesitated for a moment but finally nodded in agreement. After all, as a mother, she certainly hopes that her children will have a better future. Moreover, Xu Hui knew very well what kind of person her son Daniel was. Although he was not a pioneering businessman, he was a very suitable manager and manager. Xu Hui did not arrange him in Shenghua because she was the president. However, she did not expect that Song Chaoyuan had always remembered this and arranged a very good future for Daniel today.
"In that case, thank you, Mr. Song..."
"Sister Hui, you are being too polite. Although we cannot appoint people based on personal connections, we cannot be too harsh on our own capable children. This is the so-called "appointing the virtuous regardless of personal connections". I understand what you were thinking when you said you didn't want Daniel to enter Shenghua. There is no need to do this."
Xu Hui smiled and didn't respond. Song Chaoyuan's words really touched her heart, making her happy and moved.
A few days later, after Song Chaoyuan finished dealing with the affairs in Hong Kong, he set off for Pengcheng, and he was accompanied by Xu Hui's son Daniel.
Just as Song Chaoyuan judged, working in Zhang Hao's company was a career leap for Daniel. Although Daniel had already reached a senior position in his previous company, Zhang Hao's company was much stronger in terms of company size and prospects.
After Song Yuanchao extended an olive branch, Daniel made a decision quickly, resigned from his original company as quickly as possible, and followed Song Yuanchao from Hong Kong to Pengcheng.
After passing the checkpoint smoothly, they arrived in Pengcheng. Zhang Hao was already waiting outside the checkpoint. When he saw Song Chaoyuan and Daniel coming out, Zhang Hao pushed the door, got out of the car and walked towards Song Yuanchao.
"Brother!"
"Why are you here too? Didn't I ask you to send a driver to pick us up?" Seeing Zhang Hao wearing a casual shirt and a baseball cap, Song Chaoyuan said with a little surprise.
"Haha, how can I not personally welcome you when you come? By the way, this is Daniel, right? Hello, hello, welcome to Pengcheng."
"Hello Uncle Zhang, I'm Daniel..."
"Uncle Zhang?" Zhang Hao was stunned and couldn't come back to his senses for a while.
Song Chaoyuan on the side couldn't help but laugh. The name Daniel was actually not wrong. His mother Xu Hui and Song Chaoyuan were of the same generation. Song Chaoyuan and his friends always called Xu Hui "Sister Hui". Zhang Hao was Zhang Jianguo's son and always called Song Chaoyuan "Brother". They were also of the same generation. So, wasn't Daniel Zhang Hao's junior?
However, Zhang Hao is only three years older than Daniel, and they are almost the same age. It is normal that Zhang Hao did not react for a while when Daniel suddenly called Zhang Hao "Uncle Zhang".
"Daniel, just call me Mike, and we can talk about our own things." Coming back to his senses, Zhang Hao also laughed, and laughed with Song Chaoyuan. He shook his head while laughing, and said while holding Daniel's hand.
Daniel smiled sheepishly, thought for a moment and said, "How about I just call you Mr. Zhang?"
"No, just call me Mike. That's what everyone in the company calls me. Daniel, you don't know our company culture before you join us. Our internal atmosphere is very open. You'll know once you join us. Okay, don't stand here and chat anymore. Get in the car. We've already arranged a place for you to stay."
As he spoke, Zhang Hao called Song Chaoyuan and Daniel to get into his car. The driver drove them away from the checkpoint and headed towards the area near the company.
Not far from Zhang Hao's company, Zhang Hao arranged a place for Daniel to live. This place is a nice residential area that has just been developed in the past two years. The developer of this residential area is Shenghua Real Estate. Shortly after Zhang Hao established the company, he directly bought more than a dozen houses in this project from Shenghua Real Estate. These houses include fully-decorated apartments and more advanced duplex villas, which are given to some of the company's employees for free as a welfare benefit.
Daniel's residence was arranged here, because Daniel's position after joining the company was the vice president level, mainly responsible for the company's internal administration, personnel and other work. To put it bluntly, this job is the company's butler. Because Zhang Hao's main energy is now on the company's development and technology, the management of the company's daily affairs requires a reliable and trustworthy person to be responsible, and Xu Hui's son Daniel is such a person.
The residence is very nice, it is on the first and second floors of a duplex villa. The total area, excluding the basement, is nearly 180 square meters. In addition, the greening and auxiliary facilities of the building are very complete. It can be regarded as a high-end residential area in Pengcheng. Although it is still not as good as the Century Prosperity of the past, it is also not something that ordinary people can afford.
When they got there, they showed Daniel the house. The furniture and appliances inside had already been fully furnished, and the decoration style was simple and bright, which was very suitable for Daniel's aesthetic taste after many years abroad. The conditions were very good, even better than Daniel had imagined. Moreover, not only the place to live, but also the car was prepared for Daniel. The brand new Audi in the garage was prepared by Zhang Hao for Daniel.
Daniel came here alone with Song Chaoyuan this time. He originally planned to wait until he was settled in Pengcheng before considering bringing his wife and children over. But now he saw that Zhang Hao had already arranged everything, and he was so happy that he hurriedly thanked Zhang Hao.
"Get familiar with it first and see if there's anything you need at home. There's a supermarket not far to the left when you go out of the community. If you need anything, you can go there and have a look. You can cook your own meals at home or call the community club to have them delivered." Zhang Hao took Daniel for a walk and said with a smile. Then he told him that it wouldn't be too late to take a rest for two days before going to the company. Daniel said no, he could start work at the company tomorrow. Since he was already there, he should get into work as soon as possible. Besides, Hong Kong is very close to Pengcheng, and the company has already made all the arrangements, so there's no need for him to make any adjustments.
Zhang Hao nodded and said that in that case, they would meet at the company tomorrow. After that, he left Daniel to pack up on his own while he and Song Chaoyuan left temporarily.
Daniel saw them out and watched them get into the car. He waited until Zhang Hao's car drove away before he withdrew his gaze. Looking back at his new home, Daniel's heart was filled with excitement. He clenched his fists and walked briskly back into the house.
