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.
"Today is a very important day. The first branch of Huaihai Building Materials (Ajigeria) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Huaihai Investment, and the first production line of the brick factory have been officially put into operation!" Yu Qingyang stood on the high platform with high spirits.
delivered a speech.
Africa is full of gold, it depends on whether you can see it and dig it out.
Obviously, the brick factory was the first barrel of gold dug by Yu Qingyang in Africa.
Next, there are cement factories, cement products factories and other gold waiting for Yu Qingyang to dig.
At this time, the benefits of Yu Qingyang's free construction of an artificial lake for Ajigeria became apparent.
Mayor Ronald personally attended the commissioning ceremony and delivered a speech.
Not only Mayor Ronald, but also officials from the Ministry of Economic Affairs of Algeria were sent to attend the commissioning ceremony.
The embassy also sent a translator to congratulate you.
At the commissioning ceremony, Ronald expressed his welcome and gratitude to Huaihai Investment for investing in Butitanic City.
Although the local tax on Huaihai Investment is exempted, the Butantan City Government cannot receive the corporate tax on Huaihai Investment.
However, whether it is a brick factory, a cement factory, or a cement product factory, most of the workers employed are citizens of Butita.
These citizens have to pay taxes when they earn a job.
There is no threshold for personal income tax. As long as you have income, you will be taxed.
There are also numerous consumption taxes.
When you make money, you have to consume it, and when you consume it, the state will tax you.
These taxes are no less than the exempted corporate taxes.
In order to show support for Huaihai Investment, the Butantan City Government decided to arrange a police station at the Huaihai Investment Industrial Base to be responsible for protecting the safety of the industrial base.
“Thank you to the Butita City Government and Mayor Ronald for supporting us!”
Building a police station was Ronald's gesture of goodwill to Yu Qingyang.
Yu Qingyang should be said to be the foreign businessman with the largest scale of industrial investment at present.
Excludes mineral resource-based investments.
What kind of corporate investment is most welcomed by local governments?
It is this kind of production-oriented enterprise that can not only provide labor employment, but also bring a large amount of tax revenue.
Therefore, if we were to select the most popular foreign businessman now, Yu Qingyang would definitely be elected.
"Mr. Yu, we should be the ones thanking you!
Thank you for your trust in us and thank you for your help!" Mayor Ronald held Yu Qingyang's hand and did not let go.
Yu Qingyang is his god of wealth.
At the end of the ceremony, Yu Qingyang entertained all the guests who came to the ceremony in Butitai City.
After the banquet was over, people from the Ministry of Economic Affairs of Ajilia came to Yu Qingyang and invited him to invest and set up factories in the northern region.
This is to attract people.
Blatant poaching.
Yu Qingyang smiled and agreed, saying that he would definitely invest in the northern region if he had the opportunity, but he would have to wait until the industrial zone here was stabilized.
In the evening, Yu Qingyang convened a meeting with Angela Jerome, Monroe Bentham, and Neil Thorndike to discuss the company's next development opportunities.
Who says foreigners don’t work overtime?
That's because the money is not enough.
What Yu Qingyang gives them is a salary plus dividends salary model.
The three foreigners are very motivated.
Although the cement plant has not yet been built, Monroe Bentham goes to the construction site every day to supervise the construction.
Because it goes into production one day earlier, he can get dividends one day earlier, instead of the current basic salary.
“Angela, the company’s first factory has been put into operation!
But it’s not time for us to just relax and wait for the harvest!
In order for my investment in Ajigeria to go smoothly, I donated free money to build an artificial lake worth one billion US dollars!
I need you to earn this money back for me!"
"Boss, don't worry! Once the cement plant is put into operation, you can earn back one billion US dollars in less than three years!" Angela said with a smile.
"No, I have a big appetite! What I want is not one billion, but ten billion, or even more!
Therefore, you must continue to expand your business scope!
Make more money for me!" Yu Qingyang also laughed.
It's fun to talk to foreigners about things. If you want to make money, you just want to make money. You don't have to hide it or talk about it in a roundabout way.
"Boss, I have been investigating the market and resources in Ajigeria recently!
I found that the limestone resources here are abundant and the quality is very good!
We can buy mines and mine limestone!
It’s just sales that are a problem!”
Some people may not know what limestone is. High-quality, recrystallized limestone is marble.
It is a high-grade stone.
"Haha...ha! Angela, you Americans have also learned to be reserved?
Don’t you just want to sell the stone to China?
As long as the limestone can meet the standards of marble, I will be responsible for underwriting how much you produce here!
Ship them all to China!" Yu Qingyang laughed.
"Boss is smart! I just want to produce marble and export it to China!" Angela Jerome smiled and flattered Yu Qingyang.
Yu Qingyang was about to speak when there was a knock on the door outside.
"Come in!"
"Mr. Yu, Mayor Ronald is here and wants to see you!" Qiao Lili came in to report.
"Okay! You continue chatting, I'll go see Mayor Ronald first!" Yu Qingyang stood up and said to Angela and the other two.
After leaving the room, Yu Qingyang secretly guessed what Ronald wanted to do with him so late.
"Haha...ha! Good evening, Mayor Ronald!" Yu Qingyang hugged Mayor Ronald.
"Mr. Yu, I'm here to express my gratitude to you!" Ronald said with a smile.
During the day, Ronald saw the officials from the Ministry of Economic Affairs of Ajilia trying to woo Yu Qingyang.
This made him unable to sit still.
Although Yu Qingyang has already invested in Butitanic City, who would object to investing too much?
So, in the evening, Ronald made arrangements and came to see Yu Qingyang again.
"Mayor Ronald, there is no need to say more words of thanks!
After all, I invest to make money!
Moreover, I am very satisfied with the investment environment in Butitanic City!" Yu Qingyang responded with a smile.
"Yu Qingyang, this is a small gift from me personally!
Please accept it!" Ronald smiled and clapped his hands.
The door was pushed open, and ten beauties full of exotic styles walked in.
