Chapter 220 Tennis Club
The investment didn't get finalized right away, Zhao Yimeng said she wanted to think about it first.
That evening, Su Yehao had dinner with his second aunt and took a helicopter back to Hong Kong with Jiang Yu. Because of the rain, the speedboat wasn't sheltered, so the helicopter was more comfortable.
After the rain stopped, the coach would help drive the Riva speedboat back to Hong Kong.
A few more days passed.
It was now early December.
The temperature in Hong Kong was only a little over ten degrees Celsius, and there was a hint of coolness in the air.
On December 2nd, Nangong Tian bought some new clothes for Su Yehao. When he was trying them on in the living room, she joked:
"Brother Hao, we're eating too well. I think your abs are tending toward becoming one. You absolutely can't get fat. The suit that's being made for you can't be too small as soon as it's finished. The tailor shop used by the British royal family is quite expensive."
Patting his stomach, Su Yehao told Nangong Tian, "It's all your fault. I ask you to get up early and run with me, but you keep sleeping in, so I don't want to move either."
"I've also gained three pounds, why don't we find a gym together? It'll be good to have something to do."
After Nangong Tian finished speaking, she turned around and told the housekeeper to cook lighter meals recently, which made the housekeeper feel relieved, and she quickly agreed.
After a brief consideration, Su Yehao said, "Going to the gym won't work. Neither of us is the type to have perseverance. We'll definitely rarely go after getting a membership. I remember there's a tennis club at the school, how about learning to play tennis?"
"They're professionals, would they accept us with our skills?"
"Why wouldn't they? Brother Hao has so much face, they should give me some...right?"
There was a hint of uncertainty in Su Yehao's words.
He considered it a small matter, and casually made a phone call to his newly recruited assistant, asking her to help purchase some top-notch tennis rackets, tennis shoes, sportswear, etc. The sizes didn't matter, people could exchange them later.
He prepared small gifts that day.
The next morning, Su Yehao took Nangong Tian to the Hong Kong University Tennis Club and asked to see the president of the club.
The assistant in charge of procurement also followed.
The newly recruited assistant was named Zhuang Wei, a graduate of Cambridge Business School. At the age of twenty-six, she had a very good figure, but her appearance could only be considered average.
She was the kind of girl who would amaze people from behind, but disappoint them a little when they saw her face.
Overall, she was still quite pretty.
The most important thing when choosing an assistant was ability, not matchmaking.
This girl was a genius. She could remember the information she read immediately, spoke four languages, and was admitted to Cambridge as the top student in Hong Kong. She continued her studies at Cambridge and entered the business school.
She just started working with a high annual salary of 400,000 Hong Kong dollars and was currently in her probationary period.
Su Yehao was evaluating his assistant, and Zhuang Wei, as an assistant, was also evaluating Su Yehao. She didn't lack job opportunities. A British company had offered her an annual salary of 60,000 pounds.
However, this girl had a place to live in Hong Kong, and she didn't have to pay for housing, and her family helped with cooking.
Including living expenses, earning 60,000 pounds in London was not as good as earning 400,000 Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong.
Most importantly, Su Yehao had just started his business, which meant that there were more opportunities for promotion compared to established companies.
Zhuang Wei had been working for three days, and the tasks she received were trivial matters unrelated to business, which made her quite speechless. The advantage was that there was no pressure, which was much easier than she expected.
After the bodyguards carried the small gifts to the tennis club, Su Yehao was waiting for the president to arrive.
During this time.
He asked Zhuang Wei, "How do you feel about this job? Can you adapt to it?"
"...Honestly, these tasks can be done with a monthly salary of five thousand."
Zhuang Wei was straightforward, and since she was a few years older than Su Yehao, she said whatever she thought. She hadn't been beaten by workplace rules yet.
Su Yehao smiled and said, "Company development takes time, and it's true that your talents are a bit wasted. In the future, you'll have many opportunities to use your abilities. What do you think of the company? What do you think of my company?"
"Whether it's TaT, KOKO, or the travel agency, they are all sunrise industries. I joined the company's chat group, and the software is easy to use, and the pages are simple. As long as the follow-up investment keeps up and long-term planning is done well, there is broad room for growth."
Zhuang Wei was telling the truth.
"You see, if I hired someone with a monthly salary of five thousand, they might think I'm an idiot, investing so much money and not seeing any gains. It's better to keep it in the bank and earn interest. That's the difference. Talents like you have a broader vision and think about problems in a more comprehensive way. Work hard, I'm a super potential stock."
As a boss, Su Yehao didn't act like a boss at all.
Decisiveness and personal charm were hard to see in him.
For example, yesterday John Zhou gave a reply, saying that the software outsourcing company in Bangalore admitted their mistake, and considering Yahoo's reputation, they were only willing to refund 200,000 US dollars.
Su Yehao didn't plan to haggle over it and let it go. He didn't even blame John Zhou for misjudging people, which led to the company's losses.
With such a casual and free boss, the atmosphere in the company was particularly harmonious. After all, there was no pressure on performance, and the income was still very good.
Looking at TaT Network Company, not to mention the so-called "wolf culture", it wasn't even a "wolfdog culture", but more like a lazy "cat culture", developing step by step.
Take Zhuang Wei, for example. She didn't start working until nine o'clock every day, so she quickly learned to sleep in, which was even more comfortable than when she was studying.
Su Yehao knew he was too lenient, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
He was closely watching the Internet industry, and he entered the game too early. There was no competitive pressure at present, so he just needed to solidly develop his own products.
The relationship between the two was average, and Zhuang Wei was not a very social person.
They soon ran out of things to say and sat quietly.
After the president of the Hong Kong University Tennis Club arrived, Su Yehao directly stated his intention, telling him:
"My girlfriend and I want to join your club. We'll participate during training. We're both beginners, so we won't participate in competitions. We're purely here to lose weight and have fun. This is a small gift, just a token of our appreciation."
The president of the tennis club had a fiery temper and couldn't stand this kind of young master's behavior.
Having bodyguards and assistants following him at school, in his opinion, was completely for show and to flaunt his wealth.
The tennis club president, who was secretly putting on airs, said at this moment, "Our club only recruits elites. It's not for you to play around. Playing tennis is very hard. Talent, perseverance, and sweat are indispensable. Even if I agree, the members of the club won't agree!"
Su Yehao didn't care and continued,
"As long as you let us join, I'll cover all the club expenses in the future, and we can also organize a dinner every week, and I'll reimburse the money for food and drinks. In the future, I can also provide you with some job opportunities, all kinds of jobs."
Instantly, some people were moved, their eyes lit up, and they suggested, "That's great? Brother Hao! I've admired you for a long time, I definitely want to follow you!"
Some students also said, "As long as you can find me a job, not to mention joining the tennis club, I'll even be your president!"
"Yes! I welcome it with both hands!"
The tennis club members were talking about it, chattering and quite excited.
Hearing this.
Their president was so embarrassed that he felt like he had been slapped in the face from both sides...
