There is obviously no suspense about Chen Leyao's appointment.
Of course what Xia Xu just said was a joke. How could he push out the five-star talents he had finally secured?
Soon the two successfully negotiated their salary.
Chen Leyao's asking price is not low, with an annual salary of eight million.
Of course, this is not even among the most exaggerated salaries, but for a newcomer who has just completed her studies without any experience in the industry, even if she has a doctorate, this annual salary is already considered a big deal in a normal company.
Probably none of them would agree.
The reason why she asked for such a price was actually a bit of a test, wanting to see if Xia Xu really valued herself as much as he said.
For herself, she asked herself that the price was not too high, and she was confident that she could create value that was worthy of the salary or even higher.
But even she herself is not sure whether she is confident or arrogant, and it is even harder for an outsider to tell. If she does not really think she is capable and attaches great importance to her, she will naturally not agree to this salary.
However, the fact is...
"No problem, eight million, right? It's too cheap. How about we sign a contract for 180 years first?"
When Xia Xu heard this quotation, he vividly demonstrated what it means to smile.
"Am I still driving too low?"
Seeing Xia Xu's happy face, Chen Leyao felt inexplicably at a loss.
Is the annual salary of 8 million even less?
No, this price was too much for a lion to ask for. Her plan was to test it out. After being rejected, she seriously negotiated the salary standard. She didn't expect that Xia Xu agreed immediately and looked like she got a bargain.
.
"Well, the reason why I agreed to this exorbitant price is because I really value your talent, Miss Chen. I hope you can be worthy of this salary in the future and work well for the company."
Xia Xu also noticed his gaffe, coughed, and tried to recover.
"Boss, can you please stop your snickering before you say this?"
Chen Leyao rolled her eyes angrily.
This is actually considered agreed and finalized.
Although it's unclear why Xia Xu seems to be taking advantage of her, the salary of 8 million has indeed met her psychological expectations and even exceeded them.
"Am I smiling? My face is obviously serious now, but it feels like I am smiling just because I am very happy to have someone like Miss Chen join me, so I am happy from the bottom of my heart."
Xia Xu straightened up his expression, and finally managed to suppress the smile in his eyes.
After all, he really took advantage of it.
Five-star talent, or talent in business administration, or even a four-star financial talent, the economic value this can create is simply immeasurable, and a salary of eight million is almost the same as giving it away for free.
Isn’t this more profitable than hiring Mr. Cook and others like him to work for 8 million? This eye-catching top-notch appearance can only be regarded as a bonus.
Therefore, let alone 8 million, as long as it is not for shares or the like, even if it is 80 or 80 million, he feels that it is worth the money. He will not blink an eye when he agrees, and he even feels that the offer is too little.
However, it is not bad to simply leave some room for growth and slowly increase in the future. After all, it always gives people some encouragement and motivation.
"Okay, now you are the boss, you have the final say."
Chen Leyao shrugged helplessly.
"Then from now on, Miss Chen, you will be the general manager of Xinghai Venture Capital. We will sign the contract directly later."
Xia Xu smiled again and said: "Also, calling you Miss Chen seems a bit awkward. I dare to call you Sister Leyao. Is that okay?"
"If I can let my boss call me sister, what can I do not like about it?"
Chen Leyao nodded in agreement with a smile.
"Then I'll be in trouble with Sister Le Yao from now on."
Xia Xu also chuckled and nodded slightly, and then said: "Actually, there are a lot of things to trouble you now. To be honest, Xinghai Venture Capital doesn't even have a grassroots team..."
"Boss, you're not going to start exploiting me today, are you?"
Chen Leyao felt helpless for a while.
I just got off the plane and planned to rest for a while, but I was fooled into joining the job without even a second of free time, and was immediately let go?
"Ahem, time does not wait for us, and I will start class tomorrow, so I should explain it in advance. Sister Leyao, you are a little tired today."
Xia Xu was a little embarrassed when he heard Chen Leyao's words.
It is indeed a bit unscrupulous to ask people to go to work directly after they have just returned from abroad by plane without even having a meal.
"Okay, who told me to accept the boss and you call me sister?"
Chen Leyao sighed softly, dumbfounded: "...Is it too late to regret now?"
"Of course it's too late. It's not easy to take advantage of me. It's too late to regret it now."
Xia Xu laughed and then got down to business.
There are a few main things. The first priority is naturally to sell the shares of Feizhou Studio. There is no need for a premium, just sell it normally to obtain cash flow.
The second step is to build a team for Xinghai Venture Capital, which requires renting a serious office space, and then figuring out the company's organizational structure and recruiting people.
These are Chen Leyao's areas of expertise, and he can basically do it casually. Recruiting people may be a bit troublesome, and he may not be able to find the right ones.
"Boss, I feel like I'm on a pirate ship now."
After listening to Xia Xu's explanation, Chen Leyao was speechless.
Although she had a certain understanding of Xinghai Venture Capital from Hong Bo, she did not expect that it did not even have a basic structure.
At the same time, she is just a bare-bones commander. She doesn’t have a single younger brother below who can take command, and there is a boss above her who can take command.
"Talents are more valuable than more. They will come sooner or later. Look, now I have recruited a five-star talent like Sister Le Yao. I can recruit the rest of the ordinary employees after renting the office space."
Xia Xu smiled.
"But before that, I had to run for everything."
Chen Leyao responded with a charming eye roll.
Xia Xu continued to laugh: "Those who are capable should work harder. Sister Leyao, if you are a little tired, it will be easier in the future."
After saying that, he changed the topic directly, stood up and asked the waiter in the restaurant to serve the food, and at the same time, he called Hong Bo in who was hanging outside the restaurant door.
Seeing Hong Bo, he remembered something again. He patted his forehead and asked, "Hong Bo, have you ever heard of a game called "Glory of Heroes"? Is there any company making it?"
"Hero's Glory? I don't seem to have any impression."
Hong Bo thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Mr. Xia, are you planning to invest in this game? I can ask someone about it when I get back."
"Forget it, I'll find someone else to check it out."
Xia Xu shook his head.
Since Hong Bo didn't know, he didn't bother to bother him. It might be easier for Meng Bochao to investigate this matter.
The golden age of e-sports players is only around eighteen to twenty years old. Since Jian Xiaohao can become a professional player in Heroes of Glory, this game must not be far away from being launched online, and he will definitely be able to find game projects and promotions on the Internet.
information like that.
Meng Bochao is not only a master in hacking technology, but also has a talent for information retrieval. He is very good at collecting and organizing all kinds of valuable information, so he is suitable for this job.
Dong Dong.
The door of the private room was knocked again, the waiter began to serve the food, and the three of them stopped talking about things and concentrated on eating.
After finishing the meal without even a drop of wine and a taste of the food, Xia Xu immediately signed a labor contract with Chen Leyao without stopping. Xinghai Venture Capital officially had a new general, and he finally got rid of his status as a polished commander.
