Chapter 510 Landing on the Island

Temporarily agreeing to change jobs.

The Taoyuan girl whose English name is Marjorie quickly changed her thinking like a mature professional manager, and began to consider the future for her new employer, Su Yehao, trying to prove her worth.

After the plane landed, three cars were arranged through American Express, all Mercedes-Benz G-Class vehicles.

On the way to take her home, Marjorie asked Su Yehao, "Mr. Su, you don't seem to have any experience in manufacturing personal computers. Is there anything I can help with?"

After a short period of thought, Su Yehao told her with a smile:

"You take care of your own business first. If I need anything, I'll have someone notify you. Although I don't have experience, my executives do, and that's not a problem. Doing business is like a ball of yarn. It looks complicated, and it makes people flinch during the preparation stage, but once you find the end of the thread, the rest is easy."

"...Actually, when I was young, I thought about starting my own business, but later I thought it might be troublesome, so I gave up."

After Marjorie finished speaking, she asked:

"Did you summarize the idea of unraveling a ball of yarn from your previous business experiences?"

"More or less. Actually, I don't even know which programming languages exist, but I still created the TVT instant messaging software. There's no need to worry about your future working with me. As long as you do your job well, I never treat my people badly. All the employees of Yanwenzi Group know this, including the security guards and cleaning ladies."

Su Yehao could tell that Marjorie was still a little hesitant.

After saying this with a smile, he thought that it was really unreasonable that he could poach an experienced regional marketing director like her for only $100,000, while a slightly better programming graduate in Silicon Valley could earn about the same amount.

Income mainly depends on the value created by the employee. Labor costs are too high in the U.S., but if you want to make money in the European and American markets, it's not appropriate not to have a company based in the United States.

At least on the surface, it's an American company, backed by a group of American investors, which allows them to dominate markets like Japan, South Korea, Australia, and Canada. In other places, they're bound to be a little restricted.

From this, one can see that wages on the island are indeed not high, but fortunately, the cost of living is relatively low.

Earning $100,000 here is not exactly the same as earning $100,000 in Silicon Valley. If Marjorie stays on the island, her average purchasing power will be more than double that of Silicon Valley.

If she were to live in mainland China, the money would be even more valuable, which is why Ma was so happy about a mere $200,000 annual salary that he couldn't even find his way north.

Jack Ma made a lot of money for the government by creating a website, so he had the idea of quitting his job and starting his own business with his team.

Starting his own business might not be successful. Not only was he short of start-up capital, but the risk of failure was also very high, which is why Ma agreed to Su Yehao's offer.

The same goes for Marjorie.

She told Su Yehao that she was the director of marketing for Huashuo Greater China, but she didn't say that she was only acting as an agent for the time being, and a group of people under her were eyeing her position covetously, so she might not be able to sit firmly in her seat.

It is already slightly more difficult for women to rise to the top. Although the island is already a developed region, one of the Four Asian Dragons, the status of women is not as good as that of mainland China, where women hold up half the sky.

Suddenly having the opportunity to switch tracks and follow Su Yehao to open up new markets, it is difficult for Marjorie not to be tempted, after all, a new company often means more opportunities.

Within a mature company like Huashuo, which has been established for ten years, every position is already filled, and there is almost no room for advancement. This is because the company has not been established for a long time, and the average age of the executives is only in their thirties and forties, and most of them are very capable and are in the process of rising. Waiting for them to retire is definitely more difficult than seeking another high position.

Chatting in the car gave Su Yehao a better understanding of Huashuo's business.

When he took Marjorie to an apartment complex, a little chubby boy ran over and shouted "Mom" to her excitedly with open arms.

Su Yehao didn't get out of the car, just greeted her and praised her son for being cute...

When they continued on their way, Jiang Yu suddenly said:

"That was close. I didn't know she was already married and had children. I thought you were fascinated by a mature woman. It's rare to see you so proactive, personally discussing recruitment. I never saw you do that once when we lived with you for so long."

"..."

Rolling his eyes, Su Yehao asked helplessly, "What kind of image do I have in your heart? A Teddy bear?"

"I can only say that it's not very good. Among women in their thirties, this Marjorie is quite charming. Women who do business often seem to have an indescribable aura."

After Jiang Yu finished speaking, Su Yehao reached out and pinched her face, telling her, "Even if she has more charm, can she be more beautiful than you? I remember that during the holidays, your table was full of flowers and chocolates. Of course, you're the most beautiful."

"The most... that's an overstatement. At least Nangong Tian isn't bad, and she has a particularly good figure. Even I'm tempted."

Jiang Yu finished with a smile, then suddenly flared up and said, "The flowers, chocolates, and love letters were all given by other people. You've never given me any."

"Oh, aren't those things not as good as the diamonds I gave you? And Nangong, didn't she give you an island in the Maldives to manage? She told me privately that all the money you earn will be yours. Only kids like chocolate and stuff. At most, I'll give you a sea of flowers for your birthday."

"Things aren't important. Sincerity is important, okay? You only give them when I ask for them. That's not sincere at all..."

A girl's temper changes quickly.

Su Yehao suddenly thought of something and calculated the time. It was almost Jiang Yu's time of the month.

This made him a little disappointed. He had originally planned to find a place on the island to have a few drinks, but now he probably had no hope.

He wasn't in a hurry to meet up with the inspection team.

First, he took Jiang Yu to the vicinity of the world's tallest building under construction—Taipei 101.

The building wasn't even visible yet, but there were concept drawings on the side of the road.

Skyscrapers are simply a romance for super-rich people.

Su Yehao stared at the concept drawings and sighed, remembering that his land in Lujiazui had not yet been developed. Considering that his business was still in a period of rapid expansion, it was not worth investing too much money in building construction for the time being. In the future, he would have to try it, perhaps with a chance to replicate a novel landmark like the Burj Khalifa and keep it for rent for a hundred years.

As they drove along, it did indeed feel like a second-tier city. Jiang Yu wanted to go to the night market to eat snacks, but Su Yehao had no plans. He had rushed here in a hurry to avoid trouble.

After meeting up with the little girl.

She was busy personally interviewing the little beauties that the talent scouts had found, whose voices were so soft that they made people's bones melt.

Usually when Su Yehao interacted with Yin Liuli, he generally communicated with her in Mandarin, as she didn't have that flavor when she switched to Cantonese.

At this moment.

After looking at the resumes, he immediately recognized a familiar face—Zhang Mi, whom Yue Yunpeng didn't recognize.

Beautiful people are indeed easy to shine.

The world has already been changed by Su Yehao, and a group of people who are qualified to make a living based on their looks can still stand out...
