Chapter 63: The Top-of-the-line Executive Car!

"Huh? Haiyuan, what do you understand?"
Everyone cast curious glances at him.
"I know why Manager Su chose these people!"
"Why?"
Liang Haiyuan took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping over the resumes again, as if confirming his deduction.
A meaningful smile played on his lips, and he said, word by word:
"They... lack 'self'!"
***
Setting up a new department in a large company isn't something that can be done on a whim.
It's more troublesome than constipation, requiring a lot of complicated planning.
Public announcement of the new department head;
Recruitment, selection, and interviews for department employees;
Major personnel reshuffling across departments;
Finally, finding a prime location for the new department...
In Fanghuan Investment's chairman's office, Huang Fengwen stared at the report before him, his brows furrowed deeply.
From the moment the decision was made until now, it's been nothing but trivial and troublesome matters.
Fortunately, the office space issue was resolved quickly, saving us some trouble.
Then, naturally, came the biggest headache—personnel!
“Are you kidding me? Ah Hao… no, that kid Su Hao, he just recruited everyone like that?”
Huang Fengwen looked at the newly delivered personnel appointment notice with a "you're kidding me" expression.
Beside him, the chairman's secretary quickly nodded and reported:
“Yes, Chairman Huang. This is the list just sent by the HR department, it's absolutely true.
It's said that Manager Su… no, Director Su personally reviewed it and finalized it with a stroke of his pen.”
“Hmph, that kid!” Huang Fengwen snorted coldly, a sense of unease rising within him.
Recruiting isn't like buying cabbages at the market, where you can just pick one up and glance at it and decide.
Why?
Because whether you hire a talent or a complete disaster...
directly determines how many zeros the company's account balance will have!
Whether you'll be living the high life or starving!
This is no joke; it's a bloody lesson learned!
Ultimately, investing is all about "people" strategizing.
One lapse in judgment can cause a company as solid as a skyscraper to explode in an instant;
while one stroke of genius can send the company soaring like a rocket!
Just look at Su Hao right now, isn't he a living example?
This kid is practically a walking money-printing machine!
"He...he didn't even mention any hiring criteria or anything?"
"No. HR said there were tons of applicants, practically fighting to get in, but Director Su didn't even blink an eye; he finalized the list that same day."
"What about interviews? There should at least be some formality, right? Even hiring animals requires checking their teeth!"
"Apparently...there wasn't even an interview process."
"......"
Huang Fengwen was clearly stunned by this "outrageous move," his head buzzing.
This newly established Special Investment Department was on a completely different level from the other departments in the company.
Putting everything else aside, the fact that all account permissions were fully open was enough to make anyone's jaw drop.
What's even more incredible is that Su Hao makes all investment decisions single-handedly!
How much power does he wield?
Let's put it this way: aside from his immediate superior, Chairman Huang Fengwen, the true "emperor" of the company, is above him.
None of the vice presidents or directors below him can interfere with Su Hao's decisions; they have to think twice before even uttering a word!
This is absolutely unprecedented in Fanghuan Investment's history—a scorpion taking a dump!
However, as the saying goes, even a hero needs three helpers. Even if Su Hao were a three-headed, six-armed Nezha, he couldn't make waves alone.
To revitalize this new department, he needs a few capable and resilient elites around him.
But look at this list of "elites"...
Huang Fengwen's brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly.
What the hell... what kind of scoundrels are these?
"This... what criteria does this kid use to pick people? He couldn't have just drawn lots, could he?"
Vice Chairman Lin Fan, standing beside him, was equally perplexed, his voice filled with confusion:
"Well, Chairman Huang, I can't figure it out either. But one thing's for sure, this kid definitely didn't choose people based on those flashy resumes."
That's right, judging by their resumes alone, these people wouldn't even qualify for the "Top-Tier Investment Department," and they were at the bottom of their previous departments!
What's Su Hao up to by assembling a bunch of seemingly incompetent "good-for-nothings"?
"So, how many people are in Su Hao's department now?"
"A full twenty. Including Director Su... twenty-one in total!"
Well, exactly twenty, no more, no less.
The number is so precise, could there be some hidden secret here?
Vice Chairman Lin Fan seemed to remember something, leaned closer, and asked in a low voice:
"Um... Chairman Huang, how much trading capital do you plan to allocate to Director Su's new department?"
Huang Fengwen held up five fingers, his movements crisp and decisive, uttering three words in a nonchalant tone: "Fifty billion."
Upon hearing this number, Lin Fan nearly broke his pen!
"Fifty billion?!"
Moreover, judging from Chairman Huang's unwavering answer, it was clear he had planned this all along.
Huang Fengwen seemed to read his mind, adding:
"That's right. The new department is just starting out, and I plan to test the waters with proprietary trading first.
I had the finance department calculate it, scraping together all the company's scattered funds, and it's roughly this amount."
Proprietary trading means trading with the company's own funds, bearing all profits and losses.
Because it's not the clients' money, losses won't be a major blow.
However, Huang Fengwen poured the majority of the company's own funds into Su Hao without batting an eye.
If Su Hao were to slip up and squander those 5 billion...
that would be a huge disaster; the company would likely suffer a severe blow.
It can only be said that Huang Fengwen's almost insane approach expresses his immense trust in Su Hao, or rather, it's a high-stakes gamble!
Currently, while Fanghuan Investment is a top-tier private equity fund in China, it still lags far behind internationally renowned fund companies.
“I used to tell you executives in meetings, and I always said the same thing,” Huang Fengwen said, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes,
“Our country’s fund companies will one day develop into globally renowned international financial groups!”
Huang Fengwen dreamed of building Fanghuan Investment into an international financial giant!
Managing trillions of dollars in assets, wielding power and influence in the international capital markets!
Unfortunately, internationally, funds ultimately rely on clients worldwide pouring in real money.
Those established international financial giants have already filled their positions; their brand recognition speaks for itself.
People are all set on those prestigious names; who would entrust their money to a Chinese fund? They simply don't trust them!
Lin Fan timely offered a perfectly timed compliment:
"Chairman Huang, you have such foresight! I believe that Fanghuan Investment will one day be able to hold its head high in the international market! Especially with Su Hao, that's just around the corner!"
"Hmm, I hope so." Huang Fengwen suddenly changed the subject, "By the way, did you arrange a car for Su Hao last time?"
"Perfect! The company just picked up a top-of-the-line executive car. The model is definitely impressive, the safety features are top-notch, and it even has bulletproof capabilities!"
"That's good." Huang Fengwen nodded in satisfaction.
"As for the car, it doesn't matter if it's better than mine, the key is that it's sturdy and safe!
In case anything happens, we have to make sure Su Hao is safe! He's much more valuable than you and me combined!"
Just kidding, this is someone who can bring the company several times its initial investment in one go!
Calling him the company's treasure, its pillar of strength, and a walking god of wealth is not an exaggeration at all!
