Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"Mr. Chen." Chen Zhao received a call from Andrews.

"Mr. Andrews, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Chen, we have already found the professional manager you entrusted us to find." Andrews said, "He was originally the general manager of Xiyuan Beer's U.S. Department."

"Wait... the Xiyuan Beer you are talking about is the international brand Xiyuan Beer?" Chen Zhao asked.

"That's right."

"But, what I want to open is just a brewery with an investment of several million dollars. I can't afford the salary of a professional manager of his status."

The market value of Xiyuan Beer is in the billions of dollars, and the annual salary of the general manager of this US department is more than one million dollars.

The annual profit of the brewery that Chen Zhao wants to invest in may only be one million US dollars.

Do you want to use all your profits to hire this professional manager?

No one with a sound mind would seek out such a high-level professional manager.

Generally speaking, headhunting companies screen and classify talents around the world.

Then if a company needs talents, they will purchase information about such talents from a headhunting company.

I wouldn’t say a small company and then find a top talent.

If Chen Zhao just wants to find an ordinary manager, but Andrews wants to find a top manager for Chen Zhao.

Then Chen Zhao really has to doubt whether it is safe to leave his funds to Andrews.

"Mr. Chen, the other party only asks for an annual salary of US$200,000." Andrews said.

"Wait a minute...Did this person have any stain before? Or was it for some other reason?" Chen Zhao asked.

An annual salary of two hundred thousand dollars may be considered a very high salary for ordinary people.

But for a top manager, an annual salary of two hundred thousand dollars is really shabby.

And he was too obsessed with his previous job. He was the general manager of Xiyuan Beer's American department.

This status is already very high-end.

After leaving Xiyuan Beer, he was able to get a job with a very good salary.

"He was kicked out by Xiyuan Beer." Andrews said: "He is a victim of the power struggle within the Xiyuan Group. He is now engaged in the same industry, which actually means declaring war and revenge on Xiyuan Beer. He previously interviewed Dojia Brewery merchants, but no one is willing to accept him, because those brewery merchants are afraid of offending Xiyuan Beer, so now he settles for the next best thing, taking the initiative to cut his salary to help Mr. Chen run the brewery, but he also has the conditions to join, so Just in the next three years, if he can increase the value of the beer brand tenfold, then he will automatically receive 25% of the shares."

It has to be said that ambitious and capable people are like dragons wherever they go.

"Doesn't he have a non-compete agreement?"

"He did not accept non-competition compensation from Xiyuan Beer," Andrews said.

Generally speaking, such senior professional managers possess a large number of business secrets of the original company.

If you leave the original company, in order to ensure that business secrets are not spread, the original company will require employees not to participate in similar business work for the next few years.

Of course, for this reason, the original company will also provide non-competition compensation to the employee, which is usually six months to one year's salary compensation.

However, you don’t have to sign it. However, if the original company discovers that the resigned employee leaked the company’s business secrets, he will still be punished. It does not mean that you can leak secrets at will without a non-competition agreement.

"Is this worth the price?" Chen Zhao asked.

"Xiyuan Beer was originally a Swedish beer brand. At first it was just a medium-sized brand, and its sales in Europe were average. It only came to the United States twelve years ago, but at that time Xiyuan Beer wanted to It is almost impossible to squeeze into the beer market, so in the first three years, Xiyuan Beer has not made profits from the US market, and even suffered losses, until Mr. Denver took over the position of general manager of the US branch. , and then he began to vigorously adjust Xiyuan Beer's strategic deployment in the United States. In the same year, Xiyuan Beer's sales in the United States exceeded 300 million cans, becoming the fourth best-selling beer in the United States. Before that, Xiyuan Beer's sales had never exceeded The top 50, and in the second year, it won the first place in the best-selling beer. In the following ten years, Xiyuan Beer has been hovering in the top three. It can be said that Mr. Denver has expanded the influence of Xiyuan Beer. Strength plays a vital role, so when it comes to beer, don't doubt Mr. Denver's talent. Originally, Mr. Denver would be able to retire honorably if he waited for another five years. However, because of this power struggle within Xiyuan Beer, He was evicted and gained nothing, so he hated the child he raised more than anyone else," Andrews said.

"I would like to meet this Mr. Denver, is that okay?"

"This is necessary. Mr. Denver also wants to meet you, Mr. Chen."

After all, Chen Zhao is the boss. If he wants a professional manager, he can't even meet him face to face.

"I am in San Diego now and will not be able to return to Los Angeles until eight days later," Chen Zhao said.

"Mr. Denver wants it to happen as soon as possible and he seems anxious."

"If that's the case, we'll have to ask Mr. Denver to come to San Diego."

"I'll talk to him and ask for his opinion."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."

"Then let's do this for now, Mr. Chen. Goodbye."

"goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Zhao's phone rang again in less than twenty minutes.

This is an unfamiliar phone number, but not many people know Chen Zhao's personal phone number.

"Hello, who are you?"

"Are you Mr. Chen? I'm Denver. I applied for a job at the brewery you want to invest in."

"Yes, Mr. Denver, I am Chen Zhao."

"Which hotel in San Diego are you in right now? I'll drive there right now."

"Are you coming over today?"

"If Mr. Chen can accept the job I'm applying for, then I hope to start working as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'm at the Buffy Hotel. If Mr. Denver arrives at the hotel, you can call me."

"Okay, see you in four hours."

It must be said that this Mr. Denver is truly impatient.

Chen Zhao is looking forward to meeting Denver.

Fali was sitting on the tatami in front of the floor-to-ceiling window reading a book, while little Gelin was running around the living room, running crazily.

Even if she is alone, she can still have a great time.

Chen Zhao walked to Fali: "Dear, what are you looking at?"

Fali turned the page, and Chen Zhao's face turned dark when he saw the book in Fali's hand.

The four Chinese characters "Elaborate Physiology" are printed in front of my eyes.

Is there such a thing as a refined version of this thing?

Chen Zhao would rather Fali read those fashion magazines instead of reading such specious things.

How can there be such a good publishing layout for books with real content? Most of them are ancient inheritance.
