Chapter 43 The first step!
"Hiss~ I shouldn't have had a drinking contest with those two bastards Wang Sicong and Chen He last night. I really believed their lies!"

Su Chen rubbed his still dizzy head and complained speechlessly.

Sicong and Chen He have been hanging out at various social gatherings and bars for a long time, and they can drink a lot. However, Su Chen only drinks with friends occasionally. Compared with them, he is nothing.

"If you don't get drunk, you'll be carried back!"

"Mr. Su, drink some lemon honey water, you will feel better!" At this time, Aunt Tang came out of the kitchen with a cup of water.

"Lemon honey water?" Su Chen rubbed his eyebrows with his left hand and took the cup with his right hand.

The light scent of lemon and honey makes my groggy head feel much clearer.

He tilted his head back and drank a large glass of lemon honey water.

"Aunt Tang, what delicious food did you make for lunch?" Su Chen said as he handed the empty cup in his hand to Aunt Tang.

"A braised pork, steamed sea fish, meatball soup and stir-fried water spinach!"

"Aunt Tang's cooking is so delicious. I feel like I've gained a lot of weight recently!" Su Chen touched his belly and felt that his abdominal muscles were almost gone.

"Mr. Su can go to the gym in the community to exercise. There are more people around, so it's more motivating!"

Hearing Aunt Tang say this, Su Chen remembered that Chen Mengyan had mentioned to him before that there was a private club in the community that served exclusively the owners of the community.

Not only are there professional fitness coaches to guide us, but there are also many personal trainers.

"You can still exercise when you have time." Working out in the gym is not something that can be done in a day or two; you have to persevere.

It is better to just run at home than to exercise in a half-hearted manner.

After lunch, Su Chen wanted to have a good sleep and recuperate.

Who knew that Ike from Korn Ferry would call?

Su Chen was a little confused at first. Even if you were a professional headhunting company, you wouldn't be able to find the right candidate in just one day.

After Ike's explanation, Su Chen finally understood what was going on.

The man Ike introduced was a native Chinese named Pei Rang, who was exactly forty years old this year!

He is an investment elite who has worked at JPMorgan Chase on Wall Street for ten years and owns a fund worth nearly 100 million US dollars. He is also a well-known investment elite on Wall Street.

I happened to return to China to visit my relatives recently and was discovered by Ike.

"Ike, make an appointment with him and meet him this afternoon!"

Hearing Su Chen's wish to meet, Ike's voice became much lighter, "No problem, Mr. Su, the venue is still the same cafe as last time, what do you think?"

For Ike, poaching is a common thing. As long as the money is in place, he can poach not only an investment elite from Wall Street, but even the top investment teams. This is the confidence of being one of the top five headhunting companies in the world.

"Okay~ I'll be there in half an hour at most!"

After hanging up the phone, Su Chen changed his clothes and went out.
-
It is still the open-air area of ​​The Bund No. 8 Café.

Su Chen had just sat down and hadn't ordered coffee when he saw Ike walking towards him with a middle-aged man who looked full of energy.

"Mr. Su, this is the Wall Street investment elite I told you about!"

"Hello, Mr. Su, I'm Pei Rang!" Pei Rang introduced with a hint of respect.

On the way here, Ike briefly introduced Su Chen's background. He only accepted Ike's invitation when he learned that Su Chen was a shareholder of the three major international luxury groups. If he didn't have a huge background, he wouldn't come to see Su Chen. After all, he was doing well in Wall Street. Who would be willing to change jobs without a good future?
"Hello!" Su Chen smiled and shook hands with him.

After the three of them sat down, they each ordered a cup of coffee.

Su Chen still had the special coffee from last time. After taking a sip, he said, "I don't like beating around the bush. Let's get straight to the point!"

"Mr. Pei must have known from Ike that I want to set up an investment company. Your presence here means you have this idea too. Just tell me directly, what are the conditions!"

Su Chen didn't want to practice Tai Chi with these old birds. He might as well have a good sleep at home instead of spending that free time.

Pei Rang was caught off guard by Su Chen's directness.

This is totally unconventional!
Glancing at Su Chen who was leisurely drinking coffee, Pei Rang began to think seriously in his heart.

Should I give up my stable job on Wall Street and gamble on an unknown future?

The scene fell silent for a moment.

After a long while, when Su Chen had finished half a cup of coffee, Pei Rang finally said, "Mr. Su, my annual salary plus bonus on Wall Street is almost $800,000!"

After saying this, Pei Rang looked at Su Chen nervously. He also wanted to give it a try. If he won, it would be a different life.

"Eight hundred thousand US dollars, which translates to an annual salary of less than 600 million!" Su Chen calculated in his mind.

Su Chen leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms, looked at Pei Rang calmly and said, "I'll give you an annual salary of eight million plus a 5% dividend!"

Hearing this, Pei Rang's eyes flashed with joy. After all, there is a big difference between being the head of an investment company and being a worker on Wall Street.

"Boss!" Pei Rang stood up and bowed respectfully to Su Chen.

This set of operations really stunned Su Chen.

I waved my hand to signal him not to be so excited.

"When can you officially take up the position?" Su Chen also knew that Pei Rang was still working at JPMorgan Chase and would definitely need to return to the United States to resign.

"Boss, it may take half a month. The fund I'm in charge of needs to be handed over!" Pei Rang felt a little nervous after saying this.

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry. You should have a lot of friends in JPMorgan Chase. If possible, you can bring them here to develop!"

When Ike heard this, his mouth twitched a little, thinking that he had become a tool.

Pei Rang, who was standing by, glanced at Ike, who looked depressed, and nodded heavily, "Don't worry, boss. I will definitely not let you down."

For Pei Rang, this was also a test given to him by Su Chen. If he couldn't even dig up some people, what was the point of him? ?
Su Chen talked with Pei Rang about the company's future plans and future development goals. Pei Rang, who was looking forward to the future, booked a flight to America in the second half of the night on the spot.

The excuse is to hand over the work as soon as possible and set up the company for the boss as soon as possible.

After Pei Rang left, Ike looked at Su Chen with resentment on his face and said, "Mr. Su, we are the best at poaching people, why do we have to do it ourselves!"

"Who is doing it personally? I just asked Pei Rang to bring some people back. By the way, you are helping me find a CFO. Also, how much is the cost this time!"

When he heard that Su Chen was going to recruit a CFO, the resentment on Ike's face instantly disappeared, and he said attentively, "Don't worry, Mr. Su, I will definitely find a suitable one for you. As for the cost, we will calculate it together next time. What do you think?"

"Okay~"
