Reborn with Consumption System-Chapter 394 - 196 The Company is Established_2

"Zhao Anni here gets a fixed annual salary, 15K each month, fifteen months’ pay, and social insurance fully topped up to the highest standard."

"Our financial manager has an easy time too, 8K for fifteen months’ pay, with the same benefits."

"There’s no need for a receptionist, so we’re not having one."

"Let Old Liu temporarily handle legal affairs, and have Little Lü deal with minor issues directly."

"One cashier, one office manager doubling as HR director, one security guard doubling as a driver and administrative staff—I’ve found people for all positions. Mr. Han, please see if they meet your approval..."

Good heavens, what a makeshift crew.

Han Lie waved his hand dismissively. "If you’ve decided, that’s fine. Don’t worry about whether or not they meet my approval."

Doesn’t it all seem a bit farcical?

Don’t be surprised.

A private equity company like ours has no external business. Everything depends on the investment director, while all other employees are merely in supporting roles.

If it weren’t for the fact that we wanted to arrange a job for Old Pan’s brother-in-law, we could have done without a general manager altogether.

A finance director to handle financial oversight is more than enough.

Even Zhao Zhongshi, who is Zhao Anni’s cousin, only received an annual salary of a bit over 200,000 RMB.

As expected, the rest of the employees were likely all connections of various shareholders.

Han Lie casually acknowledged the staff and then stopped paying attention.

"Hey, isn’t the office too big? How much is it per year?"

Liu Minghao said with a laugh, "It does seem a bit large now, but Mr. Han, you’ll definitely want to start your own private fund later on. You can just take it over then, to save the hassle."

"Exactly."

Old Dou nodded. "Take your time with the staff. If they’re suitable, keep them; if not, we’ll recruit anew."

Old Huang smiled and chimed in, "The company is all of ours now, but the future private fund will certainly be yours alone. We are clear about that."

Hearing this, the expressions of those employees did not change in the slightest; it appeared they were well-prepared.

Then Old Huang’s tone suddenly changed.

"By the way, we’ve decided on Ms. Liang Wu as your executive secretary. What about your personal assistant? Look, how about giving our Ziyu a try?"

Well, well, your scheming heart is still very much alive...

Han Lie looked back at Huang Ziyu, who had been quietly following behind Old Huang, and silently scoffed.

Little Huang is pretty, but she’s not in the same league as Pan Ge.

As for Old Huang... Scum like Fei Yangbing and his ilk, who don’t even deserve names, how could they possibly compare to Old Pan?!

"Don’t even think about it."

Han Lie waved his hand, half-jokingly but with an edge of seriousness. "My personal assistant’s role is... different. It often involves ’group sessions’ that go late into the night. Sister Huang wouldn’t be cut out for it."

Holy hell! I’m absolutely floored!

Everyone present was stunned by Han Lie’s audacious bluntness.

He really has some nerve to say that...

This isn’t about making friends or finding a partner, is it? This is clearly about keeping a plaything!

But this group wasn’t exactly made up of saints either. After a brief moment of shock, the men let out lewd chuckles and promptly put Old Huang in the hot seat.

"Mr. Huang, what do you say?"

"Pan Ge isn’t here today; miss this chance, and you’ll miss it for good!"

"Oh my, oh my, it’s quite a difficult task... Mr. Han works so hard during the day; he really should relax properly at night, right, Old Huang?"

Old Huang’s face alternated between pale and flushed as he forced a laugh.

He had wanted Huang Ziyu to win Han Lie over from Pan Ge, to build a genuine relationship and become his primary partner, but he never thought about pushing his niece to Han Lie as a toy.

Damn it, I never should have opened my mouth today!

Old Huang was brimming with regret, but Huang Ziyu did not seem upset by the proposition and examined Han Lie closely without a word.

In the end, it was Fei Yangbing who gave Old Huang an out.

"Mr. Han, the support department is basically set up now. For the investment department, do we still need to recruit a couple of traders and analysts?"

This was a serious matter, so the teasing of Old Huang came to a halt.

"We don’t need any analysts."

Han Lie shook his head.

"An intern adept at gathering information will suffice. As for the primary traders, their skill level should preferably be high. Then I’ll bring along a couple of promising students I have in mind. That should be enough."

With 400 million in capital, they clearly couldn’t operate as loosely as before; they had to fight for every percentage point.

"Okay, I’ll look for people. You can interview them by next week."

Liu Minghao promptly agreed, full of eagerness and confidence.

With his connections, he was more than capable of handling this sort of task.

Old Dou suddenly asked a critical question, "What PB System will we use?"

Han Lie thought for a moment, then turned to ask Principal Zhang, "Principal Zhang, are you well-acquainted with the CITIC folks downstairs?"

Principal Zhang immediately lifted his chin with pride. "Well-acquainted!"

Han Lie decisively made his decision. "Then let’s go with CITIC’s Apama-based CATS system—it’s pretty good. Can I leave this to you, Principal Zhang?"

"Little Han, you’ve come to the right person!"

Principal Zhang, his face flushed with excitement, started laughing with glee, grinning so broadly his gums were showing, and immediately pulled out his phone.

He had had no role in all the previous preparatory work, which had frustrated him to no end.

Having a smaller share in the company and being of no damn use was certainly a cause for discontent.

Principal Zhang stepped aside to make a call. Now it was Sun Changzhe’s turn to feel anxious.

Everyone else is useful, and those who aren’t are offering their nieces! So what about me? Don’t I deserve some face?!

Sun Changzhe quickly called over Liang Wu and, with a quick gesture, spread out a large stack of cards.

He then patiently instructed, "When Mr. Han is at the company, you must properly arrange his meals. Here are membership cards for all the top restaurants nearby; keep them safe.

"Plus, I have four establishments around here, namely...

"I’ve already spoken to the managers. All you need to do is inform them half an hour in advance of what Mr. Han would like to eat, and they will have a head chef personally cook it and deliver the meal to our door."
