Chapter 313 - 151 The First Step to Becoming a Capitalist_2

Is this going to be settled?

The happiest one had to be Chu Xiao from Emerson Headhunting Company...

He originally thought this cooperation would end in a breakdown, but unexpectedly, the situation took a turn...

The annual salary for a company’s general manager position would definitely not be low; a 30% commission fee was a significant sum...

Thinking of this, Chu Xiao looked expectantly at Tu Yong, eager for him to quote as high as possible...

After pondering for a few seconds, Tu Yong slowly reported a very high figure, "6 million."

6 million wasn’t a particularly big number for Gu Heng at the moment...

The house he was staying in now had five bathrooms, and each one’s price wasn’t necessarily lower than that figure.

But Gu Heng didn’t immediately agree. Instead, he continued to ask, "Can you explain how you arrived at this salary package?"

"My annual salary at Gaoling Capital, not including bonuses and job subsidies, was 4 million, but since I walked away from Gaoling Capital, I’m naturally aiming for higher compensation, so I increased my previous salary by 50%, which is 6 million. I think it’s reasonable."

Gu Heng nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Everyone thought that Gu Heng had agreed to the price, but the next second, Gu Heng’s voice was heard again.

"However, I don’t think this price seems quite right."

Tu Yong’s expression didn’t change much. He had proposed a salary of 6 million, which was just above his psychological expectation...

If Gu Heng had agreed directly, that would have been better, but since Gu Heng didn’t agree, the salary was clearly up for further negotiation.

"Then, Mr. Gu, what do you think is appropriate?"

Jiang Ruxue watched, back and forth like a table tennis match, her gaze shifting swiftly from Tu Yong to Gu Heng... trying to read something from their faces...

I plan to set your probationary target as successfully helping the company get into this project. If you can lead the company to success, the general manager position is yours.

My lowest target share is 10%; if you can meet my minimum target, then your annual salary will be set at 6 million.

If the share you obtain reaches 20%, then I’ll decide to add another 2 million, making it 8 million.

Getting an even greater share probably won’t be possible, but, and I say but, if you can achieve above 20%, even 21%, I’ll give you an annual salary of 10 million outright.

However, if this investment fails, or the investment share fails to reach 10%, then I’m sorry, but 1 million will be your annual salary.

If that happens, it’s up to you whether you take the salary and leave or continue working."

After Gu Heng finished speaking, Tu Yong was silent for a long time without speaking.

It was essentially a career gamble...

If he won, he would receive a salary 2 to 4 million higher than he had anticipated...

But if he lost the bet, not only would he lose his current job, but he would also end up with at most a few hundred thousand in compensation...

No wonder he needed to consider it carefully...

With this in mind, Tu Yong slowly spoke, "I wonder if Mr. Gu could give me two days to consider it? I have not been involved with the Yangcheng International Race Track project before and am not sure how difficult it is to operate.

If possible, I would like to thoroughly understand the project over the next two days to avoid causing you a loss in your investment due to my lack of ability."

Gu Heng shrugged his shoulders, "Of course you can. The project should have a month before negotiations and bidding begin. It’s all right to take time to think about it—not just two days, even a month would be fine.

However, I must make it clear that I won’t stop recruiting during this period. If I find a professional manager I believe is more capable than you, then all the conditions I outlined to you are off the table."

"I understand."

Seeing Tu Yong nod, Gu Heng said nothing more, instead turning his gaze to Shu Yan, "Ms. Shu, will you choose the same competitive gamble as Mr. Tu, or do you directly apply for the project director position?"
