industrial overlord

Chapter 597
Hanhua's temporary recruitment site is located in the small conference room on the first floor of Hans Hotel not far from the exhibition center.When Lin Zhenhua came to the Hans Hotel, he found that the lobby on the first floor was full of people. Some people probably thought the lobby was too stuffy, so they simply ran outside the door and stayed there.They are in groups of three or four, some whispering, some talking loudly.As for the skin colors of these people, they were all red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple. With a few volunteers in white dresses, it was enough for an Olympic Games.

"Excuse me... May I ask if there is a Chinese company recruiting here? Which room are they in?" Lin Zhenhua grabbed an idler and asked.

"Are you also here to participate in the recruitment of China Hanhua Company? My friend, you have to go over there to get the number first." The idler patted Lin Zhenhua on the shoulder enthusiastically, and pointed to a table in the corner of the lobby.

"Take a number?" Lin Zhenhua was taken aback for a moment, and asked back, "Aren't you all waiting for an interview?"

"Of course we are waiting for the interview." The man replied, shaking a small card in his hand, said: "I am number 126, and it will be my turn soon. If you don't hurry to get the number If not, I won’t be able to catch up today.”

"I'm dizzy..." Lin Zhenhua was shocked.He took a look, there must be a hundred or ten people in the hall, there are still many outside, and according to the meaning of the number 126, some people should have left in front.Lin Zhenhua had seen such a scene when he accompanied his classmates to apply for civil servants in his previous life.

Lin Zhenhua followed the direction pointed by number 126, and squeezed to the desk in charge of allocating numbers.The staff who were receiving the visitors were employees of Hanhua, and when they saw the boss coming, they quickly got up and saluted.

Lin Zhenhua asked, "Which room are Xiaohan and the others in?"

The staff pointed with their fingers: "Manager Han is in conference room C, Mr. Lin, let me take you there."

"No need, go ahead, I'll go there by myself," Lin Zhenhua said.

They talked in Chinese, and the Europeans next to them couldn't understand, but judging by the staff's expression, it seemed that they were pointing the next Chinese to go to the recruitment site.One of them got anxious and raised his hand in protest: "I protest, you Chinese can't jump in line!"

"Yes, everyone has a number, why can he not get a number?" The other two Europeans also clamored.

"Uh... I'm not here to apply for the job." Lin Zhenhua quickly defended himself in English.

"No, you must be here to apply for the job. I see that you have talked with this lady just now. She must have asked you to jump in line. We are protesting this kind of discrimination!" Several Europeans insisted.

"Everyone misunderstood, he is the chairman of our group company, and he is here to inspect the work." The staff shouted.

"Chairman..." Several Europeans were deflated immediately, and one of the most eloquent ones rushed forward and said to Lin Zhenhua in an exaggerated tone: "Oh, I'm really sorry, we really didn't think of the chairman of Hanhua Group. It turned out to be a young and handsome gentleman like you. My name is Sara, and I have 15 years of research experience in high-temperature materials. I very much hope to have the opportunity to work for Mr. Chairman."

"I study precision bearings, and I personally have five patents!" Another person hurriedly posted a self-report.

"And me, I'm a welding expert..."

"Uh, everyone, everyone is very welcome to work in our Hanhua Group. I think we will create opportunities for you. But now I have to see my human resources manager first. I'm very sorry." Lin Zhenhua nodded to everyone, Then, before the others surrounded him, he ran away.

Running to the meeting area of ​​the Hans Hotel, before Lin Zhenhua looked up to look for meeting room C, a Chinese student who looked like a student stopped him and said in Chinese: "Sir, are you here to apply for a job? Sorry, we haven't shouted yet." What about the next number?"

"Oh, I came to Hanhua's recruitment site." Lin Zhenhua said.He didn't know the person in front of him, so he thought it might be an employee of another company.What made him a little puzzled was how could another company be recruiting here at the same time?

"Sir, these four conference rooms are all Hanhua's interview rooms." The student said with a smile, "You'd better go to the lobby to get a number first, and then wait for us to call the number. Because there are more interviewees today. More, so you may have to wait a little longer, please forgive me."

"Why, are you a staff member of Hanhua Company?" Lin Zhenhua stood still, looked at the other party curiously, and asked.

The student said embarrassingly: "No, I am a Chinese student studying in Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, and I also applied for Hanhua today. I saw that they were short of manpower, so I temporarily helped them to maintain order. Sir, if you want to apply, please go to our reception desk to get a form, fill in your resume, and then wait for us to call your number. We opened four conference rooms at the same time for interviews, and the speed is relatively fast. "

Lin Zhenhua said: "Oh, I won't fill out the form. I'm not here to apply for the job. I'm here to find Manager Han. By the way, let me introduce myself. My name is Lin Zhenhua, and I'm the chairman of Hanhua Group."

"Oh, it's Chairman Lin!" The student was embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I don't know you. Oh, I was wrong, in fact, I should know you. In the promotional video of "China Power", there are scenes of you, I remembered it when you said it. Damn me, damn me..."

In fact, this can’t be blamed on the student. Although Lin Zhenhua did show his face twice in the promotional video, he was always wearing work clothes and a hard hat, but now he is in a suit and leather shoes, which is completely different from the promotional video. Two people.

Lin Zhenhua smiled and said, "It's okay, you are very responsible, that's good. What's your name?"

"My name is Cheng Run!" The student replied loudly. There are not always opportunities to show your face in front of the chairman. There is absolutely no harm in letting the chairman remember your name.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Cheng Run, um, I remember. How about this, if Manager Han doesn't like you in the end, I'll be the master of you, and go to our labor union to manage family planning and so on. What do you think?"

"Thank you, Chairman Lin!" Cheng Runguang was overjoyed when he heard that Lin Zhenhua had agreed to hire him, and began to thank him without hearing the last sentence clearly.

Lin Zhenhua smiled slightly and stopped teasing him.Lin Zhenhua said that he could take over Cheng Run by himself, but he didn't make any random promises. First of all, he knew that Karlsruhe Institute of Technology is a very good school, and the level of students who can graduate from here is completely trustworthy.And from the conversation between the two of them just now, Lin Zhenhua felt that Cheng Run was still very measured in dealing with people, and he also had some good feelings in his heart, which is why he was so generous.

"Boss Lin, are you going to see Manager Han now?" Cheng Run asked obediently.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Let's wait until the people in the interview room come out. Don't affect their work."

"Well, okay." Cheng Run said, "Then you can wait here for a while."

Lin Zhenhua sat down on the chair brought by Cheng Run, pointed to the four conference rooms ABCD with closed doors, and asked Cheng Run, "Are all the four conference rooms interviewing now?"

"Yes, there are interviews inside." Cheng Run replied.

"Then who are the interviewers?" Lin Zhenhua asked strangely.He knew that Han Xiaoying had brought three staff members from the human resources department over, and left one to receive the applicants in the lobby. There were only three people left including Han Xiaoying, plus Hua Jian who came to help temporarily, the total Four people, does one manage an interview room?

Cheng Run said: "It's Manager Han, and two of her subordinates, and the other is Mr. Hua. The four of them are interviewers, and two of our classmates are in each conference room as recorders."

"Isn't it?" Lin Zhenhua said, "Is it so difficult to find a job in Europe now that a Chinese company like ours can recruit so many people?"

Cheng Rundao: "Mr. Lin, you may not know something. In the past ten years, the entire European industry has been in a state of contraction. Especially in recent years, because there are a large number of cheap Chinese products to choose from, European customers have greatly increased Reduce local purchases and instead purchase our Chinese products, which has accelerated the bankruptcy and relocation of European industrial enterprises. As a result, many technicians, engineers, etc. who used to work in industrial enterprises will face unemployment threatened.

It is not too difficult to find a job in the financial industry or other service industries in Europe now.But if you want to be a veteran of industry, it is very difficult. "

"So what about students who graduated from your school? Is it difficult to find a job?" Lin Zhenhua continued to ask.

Cheng Rundao: "Including our school, the number of enrollments of engineering majors has been greatly reduced. Local young people in Europe are unwilling to study industry, because it is difficult to find a job after studying. Now the engineering majors of all schools rely on International students come to maintain it, especially those from China.”

"This is the most terrifying thing." Lin Zhenhua sighed.

What he said was terrible, of course, not aimed at China, but worried about Europeans sadly.It takes 100 years for the establishment of industrial tradition, and it may also take 100 years for the loss of industrial tradition.It is true that so far, Europe's industrial level is still very high, higher than that of China, which is still in the ranks of developing countries.However, the decline of this industrial level has already begun to emerge. If this continues, Europe will fall into an irreversible and comprehensive decline.

Some people once believed that the rise of China's industry is just some low-end labor-intensive industries that do not involve high-end technology, so it will not threaten the industrial status of Europe and the United States.In fact, this understanding is very short-sighted.

China's becoming the world's factory means that the world's low-end manufacturing has been transferred to China.At this time, machinery companies that provide equipment for these low-end manufacturing industries have to move their production bases to China, because only in this way can they get closer to the equipment market and respond to market demand more quickly.

After the equipment production base moved to China, the follow-up of the R&D center followed.It is hard to imagine that a company can conduct research and development in Europe and then go to Asia for production.If this is the case, then any technical problems that arise during the production process will require technicians from Europe to come all the way to solve them, and the cost of coming and going will be very considerable.Although modern information technology can realize real-time audio, video and other signals, the real solution to the problem is still inseparable from on-site observation.

In this way, first the low-end processing and assembly industry, then the equipment industry serving these industries, and then the research center, one after another the industrial links moved from Europe to China.

The factory is gone, and the R&D center is gone. What about the skilled technicians and technicians?
Some of them will be hired by the original company and go to the Asian branch to continue working.But most people will have to change careers and give up their original majors.The younger generation, as Cheng Run said, will no longer be interested in studying industry, because studying industry means going to Asia for employment, which is not a good choice.

When the technicians of the previous generation are getting old and the next generation cannot replenish them, who else can Europe rely on to continue the industrial civilization of the past?You must know that it is definitely not just individual geniuses that support a huge industrial system, but tens of thousands of engineers and technicians, but in Europe, such talents are becoming less and less.

"Mr. Lin, now is the time for our company to recruit talents." Cheng Run excitedly said to Lin Zhenhua, he couldn't help but regard himself as a member of the company, "Do you see those people outside, a doctor of engineering A handful of them are all from prestigious European schools, and some have more than 20 or [-] years of work experience, and they all work in those famous companies."

"Then do many of you international students want to go back to China to work?" Lin Zhenhua asked again. He was waiting anyway, so he might as well ask Cheng Run for more information.

Cheng Run said embarrassingly: "Mr. Lin, to tell you the truth, most of our overseas students still want to stay and work in Europe. Everyone feels that they have learned so much, and they may not be able to use it when they return to China. However, After watching the promotional video "China Power" today, our classmates were all shocked. We couldn't believe that those cutting-edge equipment were produced by our Chinese enterprises."

"So you are confident and willing to go back to work?" Lin Zhenhua asked with a smile.

Cheng Rundao: "We came to Frankfurt together this time. There were more than 30 Chinese students from several schools. After watching the promotional video in the morning, everyone was very excited. We immediately went to the exhibition center to see the booth of our Chinese company. We went. When we arrived at the booth, we saw the real objects and pictures, and we were really convinced. Many students immediately expressed that they wanted to go back to China. This is not right, we Hanhua posted a recruitment notice, and we ran over.”

"Young man, don't worry, you and your classmates will make no mistakes." Lin Zhenhua said confidently.
