"Looking from your resume, you entered Sequoia Capital after graduating at the age of 26. You stayed here for six years and were once promoted to the position of department leader. However, you chose to leave Sequoia Capital last year."
Zhou Xing looked at Deng Haoyang.
"That's right."
Deng Haoyang nodded.
"Can you tell me why?"
Deng Haoyang was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Mr. Zhou, I am thirty-three years old this year."
"When people reach middle age, they will always feel a little unwilling."
Deng Haoyang had a self-deprecating smile on his face: "Actually, I have only been able to achieve the position of team leader in six years, which can be considered a failure on my part."
“When I entered school and became familiar with finance, I also looked forward to it, just like the autobiographies of those famous investors, financing companies with potential, and then watching them grow. Such a sense of accomplishment.
, is incomparable.”
"But after I entered Sequoia, the situation was completely different from what I had imagined. As a newcomer, I had no ability or qualification to decide which company to invest in. Even if I reached the position of team leader, I could only manage the project.
Provide some guidance."
Deng Haoyang took a deep breath: "Besides this, I have no other choice, so at this time, I know I should leave."
"While I'm still young, I still have a chance."
A smile appeared on Deng Haoyang's face: "I want to fight willfully. As the saying goes, people go to high places and water flows to low places. I don't want to stay in Sequoia anymore, so I have been looking for new companies, and then
Then I saw your company, Mr. Zhou."
"The actual payment of two billion yuan makes me very excited about this scale and strength."
"So I wanted to come here and give it a try, for no other reason... I just wanted to have the opportunity to invest with my own hands."
Zhou Xing nodded calmly.
In the venture capital industry, there will be no mid-life crisis for programmers.
On the contrary, the longer you stay in this industry, the stronger your ability and experience are.
There will be more and more successful investment cases in our hands.
Beings with high education and high IQ like Deng Haoyang are destined not to be resigned to being ordinary.
He entered Sequoia Capital but was unable to realize his dream.
Then it's only a matter of time before you leave.
"What position are you applying for?"
Zhou Xing asked.
"I wonder if your company already has a candidate for the general manager position?"
Deng Haoyang asked.
"Not yet."
"My personal aspiration is to hold the position of general manager. I am only thirty-three years old and at the most energetic time in my life. I believe I have the ability and energy to fulfill the position of general manager well."
Deng Haoyang recommended himself without any hesitation.
"General manager......."
Zhou Xing picked up the cup and glanced at Deng Haoyang, then said with a smile: "But you just said it yourself, when you were at Sequoia, you didn't lead the investment very much, and you lacked experience. How can I safely hand over the position of general manager to you?"
you?"
"But I have accumulated six years of experience, and the amount of investment I have participated in has exceeded one billion. Among them, several companies have launched IPOs and successfully listed, which has brought huge returns."
Deng Haoyang explained: "Although I have no right to lead investments, my market insight and keen ability to capture the economy are not inferior to others in the slightest."
"Just these... are not enough."
Zhou Xing shook his head and said.
"Isn't it enough...?"
Hearing this, Deng Haoyang murmured to himself for a while, then gritted his teeth and said: "I can sign a long-term contract with your company for a minimum period of five years. During this period, I will not leave my job. This can be written into the contract."
"I can choose not to have a salary."
"All my wages are linked to the company's business."
Zhou Xing stared at Deng Haoyang for a while, then suddenly stood up, stretched out his hand to him with a smile and said: "Welcome to Nile Crocodile Ventures."
Originally, among the five resumes, he was more inclined to Deng Haoyang.
After all, he is the oldest and has the most extensive qualifications. He has also stayed at Sequoia for six years as the department leader.
It doesn't matter if you don't have leading investment experience.
Because Zhou Xing already had a plan in mind, all he had to do was follow his steps.
His academic qualifications and resume are almost perfect.
It is impossible for Zhou Xing to choose to let such high-end talents go.
Just now it was just to keep the price down a little bit.
He just didn't expect... that Deng Haoyang would be so generous, which immediately made him feel a little guilty.
Are you too much of a capitalist?
Deng Haoyang was startled, and then he stood up with some uncontrollable joy: "Thank you for being recognized by Mr. Zhou."
"When can I come to work?"
Zhou Xing let go of his hand and asked.
"anytime."
Deng Haoyang felt that the long-lost passion was aroused in his body, and he could not wait to get into work immediately.
"Okay then, after the contract is signed, it's okay to start working immediately, right?"
Zhou Xing nodded and said.
"No problem at all."
Zhou Xing immediately asked Zhang Yan to type out two contracts. After confirming that they were correct, Deng Haoyang signed his name, and Zhang Yan also stamped the company's official seal on the contract on behalf of Zhou Xing.
"Of course, I can't treat you too badly. It's impossible not to get a penny of annual salary. Now your annual salary is tentatively set at 500,000. As for subsequent salary increases, stock dividends, and company income bonuses, you have to rely on yourself.
"
Zhou Xing patted Deng Haoyang on the shoulder and said.
The purpose of lowering the price is to get a reasonable price. He is rich, but he is not taking advantage of him.
But again, if you are not generous to your subordinates, the company is destined to not go far.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, I will definitely do my best."
Deng Haoyang was a little moved when he heard this. He took the initiative to propose that there would be no salary, and all salary would be determined by the company's subsequent earnings.
This is equivalent to a bet.
If you stay in this industry for a long time, you will deeply feel the ruthlessness of capital.
But capital is ruthless, but bosses are very affectionate.
He has no other ideas now. He only wants to fulfill his position as general manager, develop his ambitions, and run the company well, so as to live up to Zhou Xing's kindness.
"Now I'll give you a task. I'll give you a week to fill up the company's staff. When the company is on track, it will be your turn to show off your skills."
Zhou Xing smiled and said that after absorbing high-end talents, middle-level and basic strength are also needed.
Indispensable.
It is impossible to move without generals, and even more difficult to move without generals.
"OK."
Deng Haoyang naturally had no objection to this.
This is his duty.
............
"Mr. Zhou, the interviewer has arrived."
Zhang Yan knocked on the door again and introduced the two of them.
It was Liu Wentian and Zhang Qiang who we just contacted.
Zhou Xing happily accepted the two of them. Although he did not give them the position of general manager, he promised them the position of department manager.
As for what department it will be, we will naturally make plans after the company is running smoothly.
What he needs to do now is to recruit as many talents as possible and recruit them all.
After Liu Wentian and Zhang Qiang considered for a moment, they chose to join the company.
It's past eleven o'clock.
Xu Yanglin also came to the company.
It's just a pity that his goal is also the general manager position.
Unless he can be given the position of general manager, he will not choose to join Nile Crocodile Ventures.
Zhou Xing chose to see the guest off.
Although he lacks talent, there is no need to force it.
At the company, I confirmed the company's articles of association with Deng Haoyang.
