Chapter 29: Everything is Ready

The first person Li Dongling met in the conference room was Hu Zixian. Hu Zixian's resume could be described as quite magnificent, much more magnificent than those who had come to Dongling High-Tech to apply for jobs these days.

But the resume only wrote about things before Hu Zixian went to Pengcheng. As for the year or two in Yazhou, he glossed over it, clearly indicating that a change had occurred, otherwise he wouldn't have returned to Pingyang.

Hu Zixian sat there, also looking at Li Dongling before him, speculating about Li Dongling's identity and what kind of background he had, after all, Li Dongling looked really young.

Over the years, countless university students had gone to sea. It looked like a grand momentum, but how many could really make a name for themselves? It was nothing more than a few people like Boss Wan of Sitong, Boss Shi of Giant, and Qiu Bojun of Kingsoft.

When he was in Pengcheng, Hu Zixian had also seen many young university students who went to sea to start businesses. Most of them ended up with broken heads and bleeding, while those young people who could have offices and start companies to recruit people from the beginning were mostly those with backgrounds.

Coupled with the decoration of Dongling High-Tech when he just entered, Hu Zixian regarded Li Dongling as the latter. Most young people starting businesses just found a civilian house, with three or five people squatting inside thinking about projects or developing something, and would never rent such a large office and bring so many people in.

Hu Zixian's resume couldn't pick out any problems at all. As for his experience in Yazhou, Li Dongling didn't need to think to guess what had happened.

Li Dongling looked at him. "Mr. Hu, right? I don't really want to know what happened to you in Yazhou. I only hope that if you join Dongling High-Tech, you can handle Dongling High-Tech's salary distribution, finance, tax, and other issues well!"

"Please rest assured about this." Involved in his profession, Hu Zixian appeared very confident. "I can formulate a salary system for Dongling High-Tech, as well as a bonus system. In addition, I can help Dongling High-Tech with tax aspects..."

Li Dongling reached out and interrupted Hu Zixian. Hu Zixian had done some "off-the-beaten-path" things for those companies in Pengcheng, but Li Dongling didn't want to use that set. Sometimes, one mistake could bury everything. Being greedy for small gains might lead to a big tumble.

"I don't want any problems with Dongling High-Tech's taxes!"

Looking at Li Dongling's serious expression, Hu Zixian was stunned for a moment, but still nodded in response. "I understand!"

"Mr. Hu, if you take the position of Finance Manager, the salary provided here is expected to be..."

"The annual salary cannot be lower than 50,000!" Before Li Dongling finished speaking, Hu Zixian said directly.

When he just entered, Hu Zixian saw that more than half of the office was still empty. Hu Zixian felt that Dongling High-Tech shouldn't have much business now and couldn't earn much money at all. Just paying a few people's wages, he felt that if he asked for too much, Li Dongling might not necessarily agree.

"An annual salary of 50,000 per year." Hu Zixian said a salary that was an astronomical figure in Pingyang, with a monthly salary reaching over 4,000 yuan. "But I require signing a two-year contract only with Dongling High-Tech!"

After finishing, Hu Zixian saw that Li Dongling was obviously stunned for a moment, and then an inexplicable expression appeared on his face. Hu Zixian's asking price was half of what he earned when he was Finance Director at a foreign company. For the past two years in Pingyang, Hu Zixian just treated it as a vacation. After the rest was completed, he was prepared to return to Shanghai or go to Pengcheng again.

"You might want to consider it again. Dongling High-Tech will have quite a lot of business in the future..." Li Dongling prepared to persuade Hu Zixian again.

But before he finished speaking, Hu Zixian interrupted again. He thought Li Dongling wanted to suppress the price, and his attitude was very firm. "No need to consider. This is my bottom price!"

"Welcome to Dongling High-Tech, Manager Hu!"

Looking at Hu Zixian, whose attitude was firm, Li Dongling originally wanted to add some salary for him, but he firmly refused, and Li Dongling could only give up helplessly.

After getting up and shaking hands with Hu Zixian, Li Dongling said directly, "Dongling High-Tech now has quite a lot of backlogged financial issues, as well as tax declarations, which need Manager Hu to handle!"

After Hu Zixian left, Li Dongling sat down and took a sip of water. The conference room door was knocked on again.

A red figure entered the conference room, and the resume appeared before Li Dongling. "I am Yao Luoying, and this is my resume. I want to apply for the position of Chairman's Assistant!"

Li Dongling looked up. When he caught a glimpse of Yao Luoying, he couldn't help but feel a sense of amazement.

Yao Luoying had a round face and phoenix eyes, dark eyebrows, and a high nose bridge. Strange and clever expressions flashed in her eyes from time to time. The bone structure on Yao Luoying's face made people think of a sentence: beauty lies in the bones, not the skin.

With a glimpse, Li Dongling withdrew his gaze and looked at the resume. After looking at it for a few times, Li Dongling looked up. "Why did you think about returning to Pingyang?!"

Like Hu Zixian, Yao Luoying also came from a prestigious school. After graduating from a university in Yanjing, she went to Hong Kong for a year of advanced studies in business and trade. Such a resume would also be highly valued if she went to a foreign company or those big companies in Yanjing or Shanghai.

"Isn't Chairman Li the same, returning to Pingyang?!"

Yao Luoying sat there, her gaze falling on Li Dongling, and suddenly asked a rhetorical question, which made Li Dongling laugh.

"My father likes Wang Yangming. He told me that enlightenment doesn't necessarily have to be in famous mountains; one can also find enlightenment in Longchang. I believe I am competent for this position!"

With slightly curly hair scattered casually, Yao Luoying was full of confidence. This meant that she didn't need to go to those big companies to make a career.

Li Dongling looked at Yao Luoying. Her profession indeed met Dongling High-Tech's needs. After entering Dongling High-Tech, she could help Li Dongling handle Dongling High-Tech's daily affairs and could also temporarily serve as the HR supervisor. Next year, Dongling High-Tech's products would definitely go overseas and be sold abroad, and Yao Luoying's profession could also help.

In this way, Hu Zixian managed finance, Yao Luoying temporarily managed HR and helped Li Dongling handle daily affairs, and Li Dongling built a team for technology. Dongling High-Tech could basically start new business.

A moment later, Li Dongling got up and reached out to Yao Luoying. "Welcome to join!"

Hu Zixian came to his Finance Manager office, pushed open the door, and saw that the office area was not small, the decoration was also exquisite, and various office equipment such as computers were all available. Although the people under his Finance Department were mainly newcomers who had graduated from Pingyang University with finance majors, Hu Zixian felt it was not bad.

"Now bring me the financial statements of Dongling High-Tech's main business since its establishment!"

Hu Zixian said to the personnel outside. A moment later, when a large stack of materials was piled in front of Hu Zixian, he already felt a sense of ominousness.

Opening the financial statements and seeing the business dealings between Dongling High-Tech and the Shangguan Town Component Factory, when the second dividend from the satellite dish reached nearly 3.8 million, Hu Zixian only felt a rush of blood to his head. Recalling the scene when Li Dongling talked to him about salary just now, he only felt his heart was bleeding. He suddenly thought that Li Dongling didn't seem to want to suppress his salary just now...

But the contract had already been signed. Hu Zixian, at this time, could only swallow his teeth even if he regretted it. After all, he had refused it himself, so who could he blame!

After calming down, Hu Zixian checked the projects between Dongling High-Tech and the Component Factory. He came from a finance background. Through these statements, seeing the crazy sales volume of satellite dishes now, Hu Zixian couldn't help but click his tongue in secret. The huge profits of satellite dishes and their popularity far exceeded his expectations.

He originally thought this was just a small company newly established, just playing around, but Hu Zixian found that Dongling High-Tech was somewhat beyond Hu Zixian's expectations.

In terms of tax, Li Dongling was also far more law-abiding than Hu Zixian imagined. For some small places where it was obvious that he could avoid tax or take advantage, Li Dongling chose to pay taxes.

And from the funds Li Dongling had raised now, Hu Zixian found that Li Dongling was preparing for new projects. As the saying goes, "troops and horses move, food and fodder go first." Having been in finance for so many years, as an old hand in this industry, Hu Zixian could roughly see some things from the clues of financial fund mobilization.

At this time, Hu Zixian was not anxious or heartbroken about that little salary. If Dongling High-Tech's new projects really made money, if Li Dongling followed the rules, then as a contributor, what he got would be more than just that annual salary. Perhaps the bonus would be several times the annual salary.

Even if Li Dongling didn't follow the rules and didn't give Hu Zixian a large bonus, if Dongling High-Tech could succeed in one or two projects, he could completely rely on this qualification to jump to other companies, directly taking the position of Finance Manager or Finance Director, and perhaps even join the board of directors.

The premise of all this was that Dongling High-Tech could develop. Hu Zixian didn't dare to think about being like the Sitong Group or Giant. As long as they had half or even a fraction of them, Hu Zixian would have earned it. So before that, Hu Zixian would do his best to help Li Dongling. He was also doing this for himself!

When Gao Peng went up and down the stairs, he brushed past Yao Luoying. He couldn't help but look back. Yao Luoying indeed made people feel amazed at first sight, but Gao Peng felt vaguely familiar, as if he had seen Yao Luoying somewhere.

However, after entering Li Dongling's office, Gao Peng threw this to the back of his mind for the time being. "Brother Li, I have already found a car trading company. There are quite a few imported cars there, and we can go to see the cars at any time!" ===== CHAPTER 30 =====
