262: Chapter 112: Sun Dongxin Enters MAS, Spouts English in Shock!_2 262: Chapter 112: Sun Dongxin Enters MAS, Spouts English in Shock!_2 The blond white girl certainly didn’t mind, as she had already gotten used to the various kinds of miracles Cheng Daqi could create.

Cheng Daqi’s life felt to him like a ridiculous, magical performance.

“Welcome, Sun, welcome to your arrival.”

It wouldn’t be strange at all if one day Cheng Daqi suddenly told her that he wanted to change his gender, let alone bringing an investor from across the seas to Lisa.

The blond white girl thought of something interesting and laughed very happily.

Sun Dongxin was so charmed by the blond white girl’s laughter that even his old face showed a smile.

No matter whether CEO Cheng was a little trickster or not, at least the girls around this trickster were more beautiful one after the other.

Even a tycoon like Sun Dongxin felt astounded upon seeing a beauty like Lisa.

Only Cheng Daqi was confused.

Do you all know each other?

“Lisa, send out the numbers to call people in, oh right, show me the specific interview process as well.”

Today there were a good 30-plus interviewees, and with two and a half hours of interview time, the average time allocated to each person was less than 10 minutes.

Time was of the essence, and Cheng Daqi didn’t want to delay for even a minute more.

“The interview process?” The blond white girl was a bit dumbfounded.

This is your company, isn’t it?

Our OC has done the HR screening for you; the rest of the process needs your approval!

“Don’t tell me you didn’t prepare for this…”

Cheng Daqi hadn’t expected there to be an issue with such a trivial matter.

He thought Lisa would have arranged everything, and he was too busy with other things yesterday to go over the details with her, and then there really was a problem.

“Chan, I’ll bring over OC’s interview plan for you to make do with for now.”

The blonde white girl was an action-taker.

As soon as she realized there was a problem, she didn’t dwell on it; instead, she came up with a quick fix immediately.

“NO, OC is a fashion perfume brand; it’s not the same vibe as mas.

Let me think…”

Cheng Daqi was a true entrepreneur who had worked his way up from the bottom.

Dealing with emergencies was a normal part of his past life.

“Prepare for the worst” is a nonsense saying.

More often than not, despite preparations, things can go awry; it’s just less likely to be a big deal if you are prepared.

However, Sun Dongxin was a little puzzled as to why Cheng Daqi and Lisa kept mentioning something called OC.

“We’re short on time, and we don’t have plenty of it for interviews.

I’ll design four questions; I will ask each interviewee only four questions and score their answers.

We will retain those who score highest on the first go for a trial period per position.

We’ll hire another group during the two-week trial period, and after two weeks, we will eliminate those who aren’t a good fit.

This way, we can prevent wasting human resource costs.

mas has been moving at a fast pace from its fundraising to startup phase, so the company’s development speed and rhythm can’t slow down after its establishment either.

Lisa, what do you think of my strategy?”

The blond white girl shared a point that needed consideration, in line with her problem-solving approach.

“Letting people go after a two-week trial period might still pose legal risks, even if their work performance isn’t up to the mark.

If we treat them as temp workers, we can’t guarantee they would stay with mas long-term.”

Sun Dongxin nodded in approval.

As an investor, he was satisfied with how Cheng Daqi handled the situation.

To Sun Dongxin, such minor oversights that resulted from lack of preparation were no big deal at all.

Anyone seriously engaged in business knows that it’s normal for utterly nonsensical incidents to occur during the process.

Cheng Daqi and his partner promptly addressed the issue, with appropriate thought processes and attitudes.

There was no blame-shifting, no quarreling, but an unspoken agreement to start solving the problem.

Sun Dongxin was impressed by the professionalism of Cheng Daqi and Lisa.

“We should pay them a bit higher at first, then adjust to a normal compensation structure upon regular employment.

Since we’re going with a high turnover strategy, let’s hire an extra person for all positions today.”

Cheng Daqi concluded decisively, then sent the questions he had typed out on his phone to both Sun Dongxin and Lisa.

“Once we’ve sorted out this batch of people, I’ll have OC’s HR start on the next batch.

The next time you interview, we’ll have a proper interview process designed in advance.”

The blond white girl added, taking into account that Cheng Daqi, as the BOSS, can’t always be the one to personally interview.

What he needed to do was to lead the company forward, and with the high turnover strategy Cheng Daqi had just mentioned, OC’s HR could completely handle all the interviewing processes for mas.

Since Lisa was a shareholder in both mas and OC, she wouldn’t be able to favor one over the other; OC’s HR work would just have to be a little more saturated.

“A high turnover rate is a good strategy, but it’s not a long-term solution.

Let’s just go with this for today, and we’ll figure out the rest later.”

Speaking, Cheng Daqi gave a meaningful look at Sun Dongxin.

Cheng Daqi’s words had their desired effect, instantly arousing Sun Dongxin’s curiosity with his comment.

Every year Dongxin Group recruits a large number of fresh graduates and experienced veterans in Shanhaiguan, while also sending a significant number of entry-level employees into society, which resulted in Dongxin’s reputation among working folks in Shanhaiguan getting trashed.

Due to different operations, Dongxin could afford to do so, but mas could not.

Because Dongxin’s main focus was on tb business, its performance had nothing to do with the general public’s perception.

mas, including Shanhaiguan, were cultural media companies geared towards the general public, where reputation still mattered a lot.

“Shall I arrange for admin to call people in?” the blonde asked.

Cheng Daqi offered a final reminder.

“Score each question individually; whatever you think his answer merits, that’s the score you should give.

But bear in mind, our judgment criteria must remain consistent, do you understand?”

The blonde looked at Cheng Daqi with rolling eyes, as if in disdain for the motherly warning.

Sun Dongxin simply snorted in response, saying nothing more.

Do you really need to say that?

Seeing the two big shots react this way, Cheng Daqi gave a wry smile and turned his attention to the first interviewee walking in.

It was the Indian-looking guy who had just had a joyous chat with Cheng Daqi at the door.

The handsome guy kept up a strained smile, taking a seat opposite the three of them.

The blonde recognized the man who had just been chatting with Cheng Daqi.

After glancing at Cheng Daqi and seeing that he added nothing more, Lisa spoke up.

“Hello, Tang, can you briefly tell us about the biggest project you’ve worked on in your past job?”

Upon hearing the interviewer’s question, the Indian guy named Tang swallowed nervously, and spoke with evident discomfort.

“It was my first job after graduating from college when I worked as a photographer for a company in Mumbai.

My company got a big project, and I was the main person in charge.

The specific task was to make a promotional video for Mumbai, with a budget of one million Rupees.

But in reality, I was the only one responsible for this project, I didn’t even have a photography assistant.

Less than half of the one million Rupee budget was actually approved, and I had to fund the early stages myself.

The Mumbai publicity department I worked with was never satisfied with any proposals I submitted.

They said Mumbai was the most modern, most beautiful, greatest city in the East, but the Mumbai I filmed was shabby and run-down, not fitting for Mumbai.

So, through numerous revisions, my Photoshop skills became impeccable; my PS and editing skills were tested in practice.

By the time the project was finished, I had spent less than five hundred thousand Rupees to create an effect worth two hundred and eighty million Rupees.”

This Indian guy named Tang silenced all the interviewers.

Buddy, you’re blowing it a bit too hard.

“You’re saying you achieved a two hundred and eighty million Rupee effect with five hundred thousand, what do you mean by that, do you realize this is an interview?”

Sun Dongxin couldn’t hold back any longer, and blurted out in English as his curiosity got the better of him and he couldn’t feign indifference any longer about how this Indian dared to boast so wildly.

The Indian guy caught the skepticism in Sun Dongxin’s tone and hurriedly explained.

“NO, sir, don’t misunderstand.

New Delhi approved a two hundred and eighty million Rupee budget for this project for Mumbai, and Mumbai spent one hundred and thirty million on the tender.

The company that won the bid subcontracted it out for thirty million Rupees.

The company that subcontracted to us gave my boss three million Rupees.

My boss approved one million Rupees for my supervisor.

My supervisor gave me just under five hundred thousand Rupees.

And I, with my PS skills and editing skills, produced work worth two hundred and eighty million Rupees with five hundred thousand!”
