Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 362 Creative Technology
An applicant for the software engineer position came to Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. in the afternoon. His name was Wang Tao. He had undergraduate, master's and doctoral degrees from 985 universities. Zhou Jing felt a certain amount of pressure when interviewing such a top student. If he did not have a deep knowledge reserve and had not been in business for more than half a year, Zhou Jing might not have been able to control the situation.

After understanding the other party's general situation, Zhou Jing asked if there was anything he wanted to know.

"To be honest, a monthly salary of 200,000 is not high for me. The salary offered by my current company is not lower than here." Wang Tao changed the subject and continued, "But one reason I am willing to come for an interview is that this is a new company."

Zhou Jing did not interrupt the other party. For someone who completed his bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees from 985 universities and has graduated with a doctorate less than a year ago, he has rich work experience and has participated in projects since his undergraduate studies. His ability is unquestionable, and a monthly salary of is not very high.

"New companies are often more dynamic and creative. If I can feel a different charm and hope to achieve higher value here, I can accept a monthly salary of 200,000 yuan now."

"I have roughly learned about Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. and Mr. Zhou. I learned that Mr. Zhou has a company in Tangdu called Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd., is that correct?"

Wang Tao looked at Zhou Jing and said confidently but not arrogantly.

"Yes, the company's main business is the installation of power and network facilities and equipment. It is a place where I can accumulate entrepreneurial experience and an important part of my career planning. It is now in charge of my partner."

Zhou Jing said without hiding anything.

"It took Mr. Zhou only half a year to develop a company from scratch to the provincial capital and gain a foothold. No matter what kind of support he has, it is already a great success for him to achieve such an achievement at his age."

"However, starting a technology company is not an easy thing. This place is not short of technology companies. Mr. Zhou can move up to a higher level or run another company. For me, time is the most precious thing."

"I want to know how much confidence Mr. Zhou has in this company and how he can make job seekers see the value of coming here, especially those who currently have stable jobs."

Wang Tao spoke eloquently.

"I have high hopes for this company. Actually, I am not the second-generation rich man or have a special background as Mr. Wang imagines. I made my first pot of gold by writing online novels. I wonder if Mr. Wang knows about online novels?"

Zhou Jing explains his background.

"I know. I've read fantasy novels before. They're very imaginative. I can tell that Mr. Zhou is very talented. I'd like to read any books he's written."

Wang Tao nodded and said.

"I just write whatever I want, and the main thing is to make money. I have staked everything on this company."

Zhou Jing opened the writer's backend on his laptop, turned the computer to Wang Tao and continued:

"Click on the title to jump to the next page. Mr. Wang talked about the vitality and creativity of the new company. Vitality is certain, and creativity is the most important, but it is not entirely determined by me. Creativity is achieved by the entire technical team. What I can do is to let all employees show their strengths on this platform of the company."

Zhou Jing also talked a lot. The top student in front of him was quite suitable for his taste.

Wang Tao listened and nodded.

“The value depends on the creativity of the team. I cannot guarantee that this company will be a huge success. Its success depends not only on me, but also on the value that each member of the team can create.”

"If Mr. Wang can create 10 million in value a year, I will give you a monthly salary of 200,000. If you can create 100 million in value, I will give you an annual salary of 10 million. If you can create 1 billion in value, Mr. Wang will become a shareholder."

“I really admire Mr. Zhou’s courage and talent, and I look forward to the next round of interviews.”

Wang Tao was very satisfied with Zhou Jing's answer and was willing to come to this newly established company and try his hand with the young people. However, he did not show much initiative, leaving room for both parties without losing his own attitude. After all, it was just a first try.

"Okay, then we'll meet tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I'll arrange a time after get off work."

Since the other party expressed his intention, Zhou Jing also showed his sincerity and tactfully informed him in person that he had passed the first round of interviews.

"Okay, then I won't bother Mr. Zhou for now."

After shaking hands, Wang Tao left first. There were still people waiting for the interview, so Gu Jia asked Zhou Jing to take a break and asked Wang Rui from the human resources department to register their information.

"Are you stressed?"

Gu Jia looked at the boy and smiled.

“It’s not easy.”

Zhou Jing took a sip of water. This was much more difficult than Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. Running a technology company was more difficult than expected. It was not an easy task to deal with unruly top students. Truly outstanding talents were often more thoughtful, considered issues more comprehensively, and considered issues from a more critical angle. Without sufficient language skills and ability to control the situation, the interview would turn into an interview between the job seeker and the boss.

"You can only interview programmers in person."

Gu Jia had the will but not the ability. She couldn't interview these top students, nor could she interview the girl from the human resources department.

Zhou Jing breathed a sigh of relief and asked the people waiting for the interview to come in.

Today's interviews ended at four o'clock, and the first round of interviews has been scheduled for the day after tomorrow. After get off work at five o'clock, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia had dinner and went home. They had to sort out the day's interviews in the evening.

"I interviewed three software engineers and four computer engineers today. Which ones made it through the first round?"

Gu Jia took out the resumes of software engineer and computer engineer applicants.

"This, this, this."

Zhou Jing took a pen and drew something, then looked through the resumes of the programmer applicants and ticked the ones that passed the first round.

“The elimination rate is really high.”

Gu Jia found their electronic resumes and responded.

Zhou Jing put his arm around Gu Jia's slender waist and watched her operate. The elimination rate was indeed not low. The main reason was that there were many applicants, and the programmers who came for the interview were not bad. Their monthly salary would not be less than 15,000 yuan no matter which company they went to. The monthly salary offered by Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. was 25,000 yuan, which was self-evidently attractive to programmers.

After a week of interviews, on April 17, the recruitment work of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. was initially completed, recruiting eight programmers, one software engineer, and one computer engineer.

The software engineer hired was Wang Tao, and the computer engineer's name was Li Jianwei.

Including finance, human resources and public administration, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia, the company currently has a total of fifteen people.

All employees reported to the company on April 20th. General Management and Human Resources handled the onboarding procedures, work badges, door cards, and provision of materials and equipment for everyone. After completing these procedures, a meeting for all employees was held.

The company doesn’t have a conference room yet, so meetings are held in the lounge.

“First of all, welcome everyone to join Chuangzhi Technology”

"Everyone can sit wherever they like, in whatever posture they are used to and in whatever position they like. What you wear to work should also be based on your personal preferences. You can be a little free, but not unrestrained. The core of a technology company is creativity. Don't let rules and regulations that are irrelevant to the content of the work disrupt our thinking and consume our energy."

Zhou Jing stood in the middle of the lounge, his posture upright and natural. Facing ten top students from prestigious universities, he showed no stage fright and remained calm.

clap clap clap!
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone started applauding.

Zhou Jing's unconventional yet well-balanced temperament made them feel different, especially his insightful words, "Don't let rules and regulations that are not related to the work content disrupt our thinking and consume our energy." His words and actions did not seem like those of a young man in his twenties at all.

After a brief opening speech, they introduced themselves. Zhou Jing started the conversation, followed by Gu Jia.
