Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 491 Madman and Mortal

Of course, a company is not that simple. Finance and personnel are also very important, such as providing insurance for employees, dealing with workers' associations, etc., all need someone to deal with it. For the time being, only Andy can take care of these things.

In order to reduce Andy's workload, Zhang Yang specially asked his assistant Ruan Hailong to help.

With Andy and Ruan Hailong, a small company with a few people is almost enough to run.

Today is the job interview.

Andy's work efficiency is still relatively high, almost all arrangements are made in ten days. In the space of more than 100 square meters, there are ten days with complete computer configuration. In order to improve the hardware configuration, he also purchased a large mainframe so that he can For constant use, the office is also equipped with beverage machines, simple dining tables, sofa seats for resting, electronic screens over [-] inches, etc. There are also some decorative strokes on the walls, and a row of potted plants are visited in front of the window sill. The floor is also covered with a simple carpet. When you walk into the door and look up, the first impression is that the room is bright and bright, and the working environment is still very good.

The only thing is that it is too late to set up a cubicle.

Neither Zhang Yang nor Andy had a private office yet, and recruitment could only be done in a large empty office.

Zhang's Investment is a newly established small company, and it is difficult to recruit any talents.

The low salary announced in the recruitment advertisement is not low. Even ordinary positions with no requirements have a weekly salary of [-] pounds.

The salary level is not low.

The average salary in the London area of ​​the UK is relatively high, but for ordinary low-level jobs, the weekly salary of normal vacations is only [-] to [-] pounds, and those who can reach [-] pounds can be called "middle-level white-collar workers", and some higher Can be mixed into the ranks of the 'middle class'.

Although the salary provided in the recruitment information is not low, due to the newly opened small company and the short time, the number of resumes received is not much, and the quality is quite poor. Most of them are graduates from regional universities, and only a few Graduated from mid-level colleges.

Like Oxford, Cambridge and other top universities... ahem...

While waiting for the applicants, Zhang Yang drank coffee and checked the applicant's resume.

After looking at a lot of miserable resumes of unknown universities, a luxurious resume of 'University of Manchester', 'worked in the financial industry for 15 years', and 'has managed a fund of over [-] million pounds' stands out .

"Jean Tagore?"

Zhang Yang looked at Andy beside him, "Do you know this person?"

Andy nodded, "I also saw this resume, and checked it later. This guy is a bit famous. He managed the venture capital fund of HQ Bank a few years ago, but it failed..."

"why?"

"In those few years, he has been committed to shorting. He made some money by shorting the British pound and the euro, but he used a large amount of money to short the US market, and he lost a lot of money in a year." Andy made a "very Miserable' helpless action, "He not only used the fund's money, but also put his personal value in it, carried out option leverage operations, and finally carried a whole body of debts, and was fired by HQ Bank."

Zhang Yang almost had an image in his mind: a gambler who dared to spend all his money, a slovenly man who had suffered a miserable life in recent years and was burdened with a large amount of debt after failure.

Zhang Yang smiled.

He was actually interested, because this kind of talent happened to be needed!
----

Zhang Yang waited all day, but did not wait for Jean Tagore.

In one day, only a dozen or so people were interviewed, and most of them had an attitude of giving it a try. It is really difficult to attract people to join a small company that has just been established.

Zhang Yang himself became one of the attractions.

The people who came for the interview never expected to see the Millwall coach at the interview site, nor did they expect Zhang Yang to interview in person. Only then did they know why the company's brand is so strange--Zhang's Investment, isn't 'Zhang' the name of Zhang Yang?

Many people saw Zhang Yang, and still hoped to stay and give it a try, but those who thought they were capable would not choose to stay because of Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang is the coach of Millwall. He is a football star, but not a star in the financial industry or business. He is full of uncertainties about the prospects of his investment in the company. Those who are truly capable will only consider two points --
One is treatment.

Remuneration is salary, holidays, and work intensity. The combination is very leisurely, and if you can get a not low salary, you can even meet the requirements.

The second is the prospect.

This small company has just started, what prospects can it have?

As the interviewers, Zhang Yang and Andy also answered some questions from the interviewers. In the impression of many people, the company's "treatment" must be very good.

First of all, the work content is relatively simple, and the holiday basically follows the stock market, so it will naturally be more leisurely.

In addition, the salary is still satisfactory.

Generally speaking, it is a good place to go, but those who are capable, want to find a long-term stable job, and hope to have future development, need to think carefully, because the company's business is mainly to invest in stocks.

Neither Zhang Yang nor Andy gave a direct answer, but they almost understood that.

What prospects could this have?
So when asked, "If you are admitted, will you come to work soon, or do you want to try other companies", several of them did not answer immediately.

These few people were PASSed.

Ability is not important for ordinary employees that Zhang Yang needs. He doesn’t need advanced knowledge. As long as he concentrates on working in the company, he doesn’t have any requirements. But the first choice is not the company’s people. Even if he can understand it in his heart, anyone will feel bad.

Because the interview requirements for ordinary employees are relatively low, Zhang Yang is actually not a person who pays attention to education and experience. After a day of interviews, there are still five or six people who pass the interview pleasing to the eye.

Zhang Yang asked them to go home and wait for the news, but he didn't confirm it immediately. The reason was simple-the manager position was vacant, and an experienced securities manager could not be found. The interview work meant that there was no progress.

There were actually two interviews for manager positions that day, and they also had relevant work experience in the financial industry, but their work resumes were completely inaccurate. One of them had worked in a bank, almost an operator at a bank window, and had nothing to do with securities trading; I have worked in a securities company, and the position I held was 'sales', complicated to attract customers to open accounts, absorb customer funds, and so on.

Zhang Yang half-lyed on the sofa chair, looked at the resume in his hand, tipped his toes and said helplessly, "Is this guy not coming?"

"I don't know, maybe I should call to confirm?" Andy asked.

Zhang Yang hesitated, "He's here to apply for the job, so he called to press him, won't he appear too proactive?" It was his first time as an interviewer and he had no experience at all, but it was still a bit awkward to do so.

"What's the matter, talent needs to be valued." Andy said, "Clubs are very active in poaching players."

Zhang Yang opened his mouth slightly and couldn't say anything for a long time.

Andy's rebuttal is somewhat reasonable. They really need the kind of talent written on their resumes, and they are professional short-selling stocks, and they must have a good understanding of the securities industry.

Zhang Yang finally nodded in agreement.

When Andy picked up his cell phone and was about to dial it, the office door was knocked. The two looked up. A middle-aged white man with black curly hair, decadent and unkempt appearance was standing at the door and looked over. He asked a question , "Is this Zhang's investment?"

"YES!"

"Please come in!"

The middle-aged white man said, "I'm Gene Tagore, here for an interview." He still had his resume in his hand.

Tagore's dress really didn't look like he was in the financial industry. He looked sloppy and wore an old suit. He looked more like a coal worker in appearance.

Zhang Yang would not underestimate people from their appearance, after letting Tagore sit down, the interview officially began.

Interviews for manager positions are different from ordinary employees.

Zhang Yang did not compare the content of the resume, but asked directly, "Do you have research on the US stock market? If you are given 100 million pounds and asked you to buy all one stock, which company would you choose?"

Tagore frowned and thought for a while, then replied, "I'm not sure which stock will rise the most, but it should be no problem to invest in large technology companies. For ten years, technology companies can't say that they can make a lot of money, at least not. lose money."

Zhang Yang nodded in satisfaction, "I heard that you are optimistic about shorting US stocks?"

"Yes." Tagore's eyes lit up, "Others don't like my argument, but I still want to say that the U.S. stock market will crash sooner or later, and there will be a financial turmoil in the world! This is a good opportunity. If I have money, I will return Will continue to invest in…”

Then Tagore started his speech on "The World Financial System Will Collapse". He started from the relationship between the US stock market, the European stock market and the world stock market, traced the rise in recent years, and then to the impact of various major events, and finally concluded that a conclusion --
There will be financial turmoil all over the world!

Andy's eyes looked a bit like looking at a madman. He knew that Tagore went bankrupt because of shorting US stocks. He thought it was just an accidental failure of capital investment, but he didn't expect this guy to be so crazy. You're mentally ill, don't listen to him", and, "Wait a while and find an excuse, just let him go!"

Zhang Yang just smiled and listened.

Tagore's mind is quite normal. He didn't make a long speech, but just talked about his own views in general, and also explained his cognition of the world stock market in the process.

After talking about everything, Zhang Yang handed him a glass of ice water and said, "I already know what I want to know, so are you interested in staying?"

Andy's eyes widened. He thought what Zhang Yang was going to say was, "You're not suitable" like a rejection. He didn't expect that Zhang Yang would agree directly. He couldn't help reminding, "Zhang Yang!"

Zhang Yang glanced at Andy, the meaning in his eyes was not very positive, because there was a trace of pity in it, it seemed to be saying, "Mortal!"
