Chapter 180: Test
After being deceived again, Zhou Zhixiong was depressed, but he was not very angry. The mall was already intrigue, so it was normal for each other to choose their own means for their own interests.
What's more, he has been a coolie for him. Even if it is not normal, what can he do?
Of course, I gritted my teeth and smiled.
Otherwise, if I think about it, I have to be a coolie, but I still have to be a coolie for him, wouldn’t that be even more depressed?
Zhou Zhixiong made a wise choice and laughed it off. While continuing to go back to sort out the company's framework, he did not forget to invite the person he focused on recommending.
The three of them met for the first time in a cafe.
Zhou Zhixiong introduced: "Mr. Wang, this is the industry elite I told you, Li Xiangtao.
Xiang Tao, this is the founder of Tiansheng Company, Wang Liu and Mr. Wang.”
"Hello Mr. Wang." Li Xiangtao stood up to greet him, smiled and stretched out his hand.
He was wearing a suit and ties, and his behavior was moderate, and he looked like an elite... Wang Liu thought to himself, and replied with a smile:
"Hello, Mr. Li, please come here from thousands of miles away. It's so hard. Please sit down."
"Just as long as Mr. Wang calls me Xiang Tao." Li Xiangtao said politely, and each sat down, continuing: "It's not a hassle. I already have the idea of returning to China to start a business, but I haven't taken it into action. This time, I received an invitation from Mr. Wang and happened to help me make a decision."
"Is that true?" Wang Liu's heart moved and asked calmly: "The conditions in the United States are better than those in China, Xiang Tao, you want to start a business, isn't it better in the United States? Why do you want to return to China?"
"What Mr. Wang said is not wrong. The business environment, technological development, and financing channels in the United States are indeed better than those in China, but the competition is also greater.
There are thousands of Internet companies in Silicon Valley alone, and people go bankrupt every day, and new companies are born every day. Almost all walks of life can be seen have been made. It is quite difficult to make it even if you want to stand out halfway through.
But it is different in China. The Internet has just emerged, the competition is not big, and the market prospects are very broad. It can be said that this is a huge virgin land to be developed, with unlimited potential, and it is definitely the first choice for entrepreneurship."
Li Xiangtao talked freely, and when it comes to entrepreneurship, his eyes were shining. It was obvious that he really wanted to do something.
Wang Liu nodded and asked again: "Since you are so optimistic and want to start a business, why haven't you taken action?"
"I haven't found a good project." Li Xiangtao's face darkened and he smiled bitterly: "I work in the Internet, and the Internet industry around the world is almost in the stage of burning money. So far, no one has explored an effective way to monetize.
It is easy to start a business. I have saved some money over the years, which can be used as startup capital. However, if there is no good project, I will start a business in a hurry and wait until the money is burned out. If I haven’t found a profit point and cannot raise funds, the company will not be far from death.
Instead of giving up halfway, it’s better to wait until you’re ready and find a good project before starting, so it’s time to go.”
"If you say so, Xiang Tao, you are willing to come back this time. Are you optimistic about the development of my company?" Wang Liu raised his eyebrows and asked half-jokingly.
Li Xiangtao said without hesitation: "That's right, in Tiansheng's situation, Zhixiong told me that he combined the Internet and games, developed online games, and finally used time to charge. The profit point has been found, and the monthly profit can reach tens of millions, which shows that Mr. Wang's business model is very successful.
Then the rest is easy to say. Whether it is to make blood by oneself or seek institutional financing, it is enough to support the company's development, and there will definitely be great potential in the future.
If Mr. Wang is willing to accept it, I am very willing to join Tiansheng and grow with the company."
His vision is pretty good... Wang Liu nodded secretly, chuckled, and continued to ask: "If Xiang Tao wants to come, I will naturally be unable to ask for it. This time, I invite you because the company is developing well, but it lacks management. I need to find someone with ability and experience to help me manage the company well.
But before that, I would like to listen first, what would you do if the company changes to manage it in the future? How would you prepare to lead the company to develop?"
Li Xiangtao looked shaking, knowing that the highlight was coming, it was necessary to test his vision and judgment. Whether he could join was probably a blow.
After pondering for a while, he said: "In the early stage, we will focus on continuing to develop online games. At the beginning, we can make monthly profits of tens of millions. With the domestic market, the future profit prospects will definitely be very broad. A business model that has been verified and successfully completed must be laid a solid foundation first.
Then you can consider horizontal development. Since online and games can be successful, your horizons can be broader and try to combine the Internet with other industries.
For example, film and television, culture, and music are all-round development and building interactive entertainment groups can not only increase profit points, but also improve the company's ability to resist risks.
How does Mr. Wang feel?”
Haha, is the Internet+ coming? Is it very broad? Wang Liu raised his eyebrows, nodded secretly, and smiled with satisfaction:
"It sounds good, I am a good industry elite. I have a long-term vision and a good plan. I'll ask you, Xiang Tao, what is your income at the moment in the United States?"
Hearing this, my test seems to have passed... Li Xiangtao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's not bad, the annual salary after tax is about 400,000 US dollars."
"Is it $400,000? Converted into RMB, it's more than three million, which is really good." Wang Liu nodded, looked straight at him while saying that, and asked seriously:
"To be honest, if possible, I would be happy to invite Xiang Tao to join, but the company has just been established and the profit is pretty good, but there are still many places to spend money in the future. Your annual salary of more than 3 million yuan is a bit unaffordable.
Currently, only 300,000 yuan can be paid, not after tax or US dollars, but before tax RMB. Can you accept it?”
Even if you say something, you will have to return to money in the end.
To be fair, the annual salary of more than three million yuan has been leaked, but I just don’t want to, at least I don’t want to make it available for now.
What he wants to introduce is the company's managers and the senior managers who will manage the company for him in the future. The candidates must be cautious.
First of all, you must have the ability. He has experienced it and there is no problem. The most important thing left is loyalty.
How to test?
Getting money is the most realistic.
He kept saying that he was optimistic about the company's development and was willing to grow with the company, but he was unwilling to lower the treatment conditions. That was not called optimistic about the company, so he was called job-changing.
The treatment cannot be changed. If the overseas returnee elite joins his startup company, 80% of them still have to have equity. With such good conditions, who will not come?
Li Xiangtao can earn an annual salary of 400,000 US dollars. At present, his wealth should be quite large. Even if his income drops sharply, his life will definitely be fine. If he is unwilling to reduce his treatment, his motivation for joining is questionable.
Eighty percent of him is not optimistic about the company at all, but just treat it as a springboard, come over and over again, and when he has a better way out, he may change jobs again at any time, or simply start a new job by himself.
No matter how good such a person is, he will not introduce him.
"Do you have equity?" Li Xiangtao frowned and asked in a deep voice.
"Of course there is." Wang Liu smiled.
"Then it's no problem, I can accept it." Li Xiangtao agreed happily.
