67: Not suitable

Chen Jingfu said with a smile, "Actually, what I admire most is this 'borrowing a chicken to lay eggs' strategy—it truly amazed me!"

Sun Youan nodded vigorously upon hearing this, "I feel the same way!"

"It will definitely leave a significant mark in the history of marketing!"

Qian Ziyong scratched his head, a bit confused, "What 'borrowing a chicken to lay eggs'? And how is it marketing?"

Chen Jingfu chuckled, "Brother Qian, don't pretend you don't know. The entire investment circle knows about it now."

"There's a very detailed analysis!"

Sun Youan eagerly interjected, "Let me explain, let me explain!"

"Brother Qian, tell me if what I'm saying is right!"

"You deliberately competed with Yongnian Supermarket, lowering product prices to the extreme to attract customers!"

"But simply lowering prices wouldn't have too much effect!"

"So, you used the competition with Yongnian Supermarket as a gimmick, giving customers a perfect excuse to shop."

"People love to take advantage of good deals, and they also love to watch a good show and gossip."

"And what good deal could compare to your big roulette wheel?"

"And what gossip could compare to the competition between the two biggest supermarkets in the city, losing millions every day?"

"It's no surprise that customers flocked in!"

Chen Jingfu, standing nearby, couldn't help but chime in, "The most brilliant part is the 'borrowing a chicken to lay eggs' strategy!"

"Although your supermarket lost money, consider it a marketing expense; all the money lost was converted into reputation!"

"But Yongnian Supermarket lost money, and now they've gone bankrupt. The marketing they did, which finally attracted customers, all those customers ended up going to your supermarket!"

"Moreover, the supermarket and Hot Pot Restaurant are one entity. If they go to the supermarket, why wouldn't they try the hot pot?"

"Opening a hot pot during summer was like planting seeds; you've already made the Hot Pot Restaurant famous!"

"Now it's winter, especially for customers from other provinces, even if they have to wait in line, they'll want to try the Hot Pot Restaurant's taste and see if it's as legendary as rumored online!"

Chen Jingfu added, "Yongnian Supermarket was that chicken; it laid the eggs, but in the end, it got nothing!"

Sun Youan retorted, "No, Laodi even stewed the chicken."

"Yongnian Supermarket's reputation is completely ruined, and the boss is locked up, probably for ten years!"

Chen Jingfu shook his head with a sigh, "Killing, condemning the heart, skinning, sinewing."

"Too ruthless, too ruthless!"

"We can't compare to you young people!"

"Laodi, I'll toast to you!"

"Only that idiot Shi Hongzhuang doesn't know how formidable Laodi is."

Sun Youan suddenly said, "Why do I feel a bit worried about Shi Hongzhuang now?"

Chen Jingfu and Sun Youan both burst out laughing simultaneously.

After their analysis, they had even more confidence that Qian Ziyong could help them make money!

Qian Ziyong listened in a daze.

He didn't understand!

...

After leaving the Hot Pot Restaurant, Qian Ziyong rushed to his office.

"Manager Zhou, I need to build the Milk Tea Shop as quickly as possible, and I need some staff!"

"Notify Zhu Daqiang and Li Lian; we'll go to Shen City together later!"

"Also, we need to recruit more people!"

Qian Ziyong said urgently.

He now realized he was short-staffed.

If it were before, he would definitely try to recruit some unreliable people.

But ever since he hired Zhou Kaitian, who almost helped him secure 300 million in funding, Qian Ziyong felt that unreliable people were even more unreliable!

It's better to recruit some normal people first and see.

The people he recruits shouldn't be too smart; people who are too smart might make him earn a fortune!

Many people sent him resumes, and he picked and chose, looking through them.

He finally selected several people, then immediately called them, asking them to come for an interview as soon as possible.

Those he couldn't reach by phone were directly eliminated.

After only half an hour, the interviewees started arriving one after another.

"It's a bit inconvenient!"

Qian Ziyong sighed.

He had too many things to do now, and Zhu Daqiang was managing Feihuang Restaurant, so not having an assistant was really inconvenient.

It seemed he needed to hire an assistant first.

Oh, right, hiring an assistant could also mean high salaries, which could help him lose money.

He should have hired one earlier; it's a failure that he only thought of it now!

Zhou Kaitian came in, "Boss, I've already notified Li Lian and Zhu Daqiang."

"But they said the restaurant and supermarket are too busy and they can't leave!"

Qian Ziyong shook his head, "Opening the Milk Tea Shop is more important; they have to go even if they can't leave!"

"Oh, right, there's a travel allowance for business trips with me, one thousand per day!"

"Tell them to hand over their tasks; we'll leave soon!"

"Saving people is like fighting a fire; it's urgent! Tell them to hurry! Hurry! Hurry!"

Qian Ziyong repeated 'hurry' three times.

He was truly anxious now.

Zhou Kaitian nodded, "Oh, right, the interviewees have arrived. Should I let them in now?"

"Yes!" Qian Ziyong sat up straight; he wanted to make a good impression on the interviewees.

Zhou Kaitian went to notify them, and the first interviewee knocked and walked in.

She was a very refined woman, dressed appropriately, wearing glasses, and exuding an air of high education.

"Hello, Boss Qian!" The woman sat directly in the chair opposite him after entering.

Qian Ziyong poured her a cup of tea and asked, "Could you please introduce yourself first?"

The woman's eyes radiated confidence, "My name is Wei Xiaoyan, and I just graduated from Harvard..."

"Wait a moment." Qian Ziyong carefully looked at the resume; the graduation institution was a string of English he couldn't understand.

Qian Ziyong stood up and apologized, "I'm sorry, I misread it. I thought it was some unknown foreign university."

"I didn't expect it to be the famous Harvard!"

The woman, Wei Xiaoyan, held her head high with pride.

She was already used to it; as soon as people heard she graduated from Harvard, their attitude would immediately improve significantly.

She had already received several offers, but none of them satisfied her.

She had high hopes for Heli 撈 hot pot and was curious about the founder of Heli 撈 Hotpot Restaurant.

She didn't expect him to be just an ordinary young man; she was a bit disappointed.

However, since the other party could create Heli 撈, he must have some real skills, and one shouldn't judge a person solely by their appearance.

Wei Xiaoyan believed that the other party would gladly invite her to work.

No company could refuse a high-achieving graduate from Harvard!

"I'm sorry, you're not quite suitable for me here," Qian Ziyong apologized.

"Oh, right, if you came here for an interview, your travel expenses can be reimbursed. Someone will give you one hundred yuan when you leave!"

After saying that, Qian Ziyong continued to look at the resume on his own.

Indeed, one should study hard in school, otherwise, they wouldn't even recognize such simple English, wasting time.

Hearing Qian Ziyong say she wasn't suitable, Wei Xiaoyan stood up in disbelief, "Why?"

"Is my education not enough?"

"Or do you think there's something wrong with me?"

Qian Ziyong shook his head, "You're good in every way. I think you're more suitable for other companies."

"Oh, right, when you leave, could you please call the next person in?"

When Qian Ziyong himself was interviewed, he really disliked those interviewers who, despite rejecting someone, would tell them to go home and wait for notification.

It just gave people false hope.

He didn't like that kind of interviewer.
