Although the compensation given by Ronald and Mohammad Sancord was flashy and deceptive.

However, Yu Qingyang still accepted the two people's compensation plan under the hint of Counselor Gu.

It doesn’t matter how much something is, what matters is an attitude.

What they need is for the other party to know that the Chinese are not something they can manipulate at will.

After solving the problem of bribery, Yu Qingyang was not in a hurry to return to the camp.

He also has to meet Richard from Heidrick & Struggles at GeoGlass.

Interview the cement plant director and managers recommended by him.

"Mr. Richard, we haven't seen each other for half a month. I believe that Mr. Richard must have brought me good news this time." After shaking hands, Yu Qingyang went directly to the topic.

"Yes! Mr. Yu, this is definitely good news!

We have contacted you with all the management and technical talents you want!" Richard said with a smile on his face.

Although the voices this time do not have high-end talents, they are making a lot of money.

Richard took out a folder from his briefcase and handed it to Yu Qingyang with both hands, "Mr. Yu, take a look, these five are the candidates I recommend for you to be the factory director!"

Yu Qingyang opened the folder and looked through it.

The first American was very young, in his thirties, named Neil Thorndike.

Looking at the photo, he has brown hair, deep eyes, and is very handsome.

Working as an assistant to the general manager of a cement plant in the United States, he has extensive experience in the production and management of cement plants.

The second American is a middle-aged Mediterranean man, slightly overweight, in his forties, named Monroe Bentham.

He once served as the director of a cement factory, but now the cement factory he once worked for has gone bankrupt.

The third American is a female Angela Jerome. Her resume looks like she is in her forties, but she is well maintained and looks like she is in her early thirties.

I used to be the deputy general manager of a mining company. He just resigned because of disagreements with the general manager's business strategies.

The fourth British man is in his early fifties, his hair is meticulously combed, and he looks like a very strict gentleman.

He has served as deputy general manager, general manager and other positions in many companies, and is currently unemployed.

The fifth person is a Canadian, in his forties, the director of a cement factory in Toronto, Canada, currently employed and willing to change jobs.

Among the five candidates, the really reliable ones are the three in the middle.

The first assistant to the general manager looks really good, but after all, the assistant has never held a leadership position. He has management experience, but his decisiveness needs to be considered.

The fifth position is a bit ridiculous. Yu Qingyang does not believe that someone would resign from his current company and go to Africa to hold the same position.

Unless Yu Qingyang can offer a salary that is much higher than the original factory salary.

"Can these five people come over?" Yu Qingyang moved his fingers on the folder.

"Yes, Mr. Yu, you know that the U.S. economy has had some problems recently!

Many factories are not very efficient! Many have simply gone bankrupt!

so……"

"Okay! When can they come for the interview?"

“You can do it at any time, but there is a problem. Since we are in Africa, it is more expensive to come here for an interview!

If you need them to come for an interview, you need to pay for their round trip expenses!”

Foreigners are still very pragmatic. They are worried that if they come here, the interview will not be successful, and the round-trip air tickets will not be cheap.

"No problem! I can reimburse them for the round-trip air tickets, including accommodation costs in Ajigeria!" Yu Qingyang readily agreed.

"Then there is no problem! I will contact you as soon as possible, arrange an interview time, and then notify you!"

"Okay, what about other middle managers and technical workers?"

"Here, there are a total of one hundred and sixty-five people here, all of whom have held middle management positions in cement plants or similar factories!

This folder belongs to skilled workers, a total of 633 people, all highly skilled workers!

These people are currently unemployed!”

Hearing this, Yu Qingyang suddenly felt very good.

It turns out that there are so many unemployed people in the United States.

Let you be awesome all day long.

Yu Qingyang took it and looked through it, including the salary requirements written on it.

Yu Qingyang suddenly discovered a problem.

That is because I seemed to have misunderstood before.

I think wages in the United States are high and hiring Americans is expensive.

Now it seems that is not the case.

These highly skilled and experienced workers earn a weekly salary of eight to nine hundred U.S. dollars, which is only three to four thousand U.S. dollars a month.

The equivalent of RMB is only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, which is not much higher than hiring someone from China.

"Okay! I'm very satisfied with your Heidrick & Struggles capabilities!

I'll take this information back and study it!

When the candidate for the factory director is determined, I will interview these people with him!" Yu Qingyang stood up and smiled.

"Okay, I will arrange an interview as soon as possible!" Richard smiled and said goodbye.

…………

Time flies, and more than a week has passed in a flash.

First, it was confirmed that Huaihai Building Materials (Ajigeria) Co., Ltd. was established.

And the candidate for the company's general manager was determined, and the only woman among the five people recommended by Richard was Angela Jerome.

This is an iron lady type woman.

Smart and capable, with unique vision.

The company she worked for previously suggested launching business in Africa and investing in and building factories in Africa, but she did not get approval from the board of directors, including the general manager.

After a heart-to-heart talk, Yu Qingyang directly appointed her as the general manager of the building materials company.

Manage three subsidiary factories, including a cement factory.

Monroe Bentham served as cement plant director.

Also hired were a group of technicians and workers under him.

The management staff are new people who were interviewed and recruited by the Iron Lady Angela Jerome and Monroe Bentham.

This is also to prevent the Monroe Bentham family from becoming too dominant and inconvenient to manage.

Neil Thorndike was also hired, but not as the director of the cement factory, but as the director of the brick factory.

Although Yu Qingyang also wanted to stay, the other two rejected Yu Qingyang's invitation after knowing that they could not serve as the director of the cement plant.

Yu Qingyang directly handed over the remaining worker interviews to Angela Jerome.

…

The construction site is progressing smoothly.

The paving of the water stabilizing layer on Road No. 2 has been completed, and foundation trench digging has begun for the buildings corresponding to Road No. 2.

Time has passed unconsciously and the New Year is getting closer and closer.

January 19, 2001, is a special day!

Don’t get me wrong, although Chinese New Year is very close, it’s not here yet.

According to the lunar calendar, today is the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Today is the day when the brick factory of Huaihai Building Materials (Ajigeria) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Huaihai Investment, is put into operation.

The one hundred square kilometers of land, in addition to barren mountains, also has large areas of plains. These plains are all barren russet red soil, making it impossible to grow farmers.

Building a brick factory and digging out soil to bake bricks can be considered waste recycling.

For this purpose, an internal combustion brick production line was specially introduced from China.

As for the cinders needed for internal combustion bricks, there is plenty of it in Ajigeria. Coastal cities such as Butitan use thermal power generation. Ajigeria's industry is backward, and the cinders generated by power generation are piled up like mountains, and no one wants them.

It happened to be cheaper for Yu Qingyang.

He sent his own truck to pull as many as he wanted, not only asking for money, but also giving money to Yu Qingyang.

Because it costs money to dispose of these coal residues in thermal power plants.

Now that Yu Qingyang is helping them deal with the cinders, they naturally have to pay him.

After a month of construction, it is finally ready for production today.
