Chapter 59 - Headhunter

How can we set up a headhunting company?Professional matters should be left to professionals, so George naturally called Harry who was far away in Washington.Harry found that he was very hard-working. He was not only a lobbyist for Zhenhua Company, but also needed help to build a network in Washington, and also to help him with headhunting, which should be looking for some headhunters.This was simple. After all, the United States had such companies more than a decade ago. Although those companies did not operate very smoothly, many of them did very well, and most of them were lawyers. Harry soon found a candidate for him."Hello, Mr. George, I am Hedrick Gerard. Mr. Harry introduced me here. This is my business card. I heard that you want to set up a talent search company. I used to work at Dick Dylan Talent Search Company and recruited many talents for many large companies such as Ford and General Motors. If there is a chance, I would be happy to work for you." After handing out his business card, Hedrick Gerard handed over his work resume and looked at the gentleman expectantly. He had also conducted an investigation before coming. This is a young Chinese millionaire. He has been in the United States for only a few months and has successively acquired two companies and become a defense contractor. For him who has been unemployed for more than a year, this is a good job opportunity. He believes that he can convince the other party with his resume. "I don't need this resume. I need you to prove your ability with work." When Hedrick walked into the office, George was observing him. His suit was a little old, and the creases on his leather shoes and the worn heels all showed that he should walk often, and even didn't have a car. All this convinced him that he was not in good condition at the moment. This guy really needs this job. This also means that he will do his best."Prove yourself?"While he was puzzled, he saw the other party handed him a note."I need you to help dig this person over."After taking the note and looking at it, Hedrick felt a little overwhelmed, because he was going to dig people from Bell Labs."Mr. George, it's wartime now, and the official prohibition is to dig people from these important companies.""I know."George looked straight at him and asked."Then can you do it?"What he needs is someone who can help him achieve his goals, otherwise, how can he help him get people from Germany after the war. After all, the development of North Borneo Company in the future will require a large number of talents, and where to dig talents from, of course, is the defeated Germany.But it takes courage to go to the war zone, or even to dig people in areas that have not yet been occupied by the Allies!Without the courage of ordinary people, who would be willing to go deep into the war zone?"This..."After thinking for a while, Hedrick said."I can try.""Very good, contact my secretary directly if you need anything."Who is the person to be dug?It is none other than Walter Brattain, who invented the transistor.In the 21st century, what is the most important thing is, of course, talent. Standing on the shoulders of giants, George knows very well that he should dig out those talents. After all, many talents are famous, and those who have changed human society are destined to leave a strong mark in history books. .After Hedrick left the office, George took out the folder again. The folder contained the information of North Borneo Company, and of course the map.Borneo is the Kalimantan Island in later generations. North Borneo is located in its northeast, with an area of ​​74,500 square kilometers."Such a big place, but there are less than 400,000 people, and 30% of them are Chinese... This is simply our God-given land!"Leaning forward in the chair, with his elbows resting on the desk, George's eyes flashed with desire for this land. Since buying the existence of North Borneo Company, he began to prepare to truly own North Borneo.This is his way to protect himself.After coming to the United States, he felt discrimination everywhere, even as a person with a background - what if he became good friends with the president in the future? Systematic discrimination will affect his development in the United States.As for Britain, there is no need to think about it. The serious class solidification in Britain is not friendly to their own people, let alone a foreigner.This is the case in all European countries. Perhaps he can use his foresight of the times and wartime speculation to accumulate huge wealth, but that's all.In fact, being a Ping An tycoon is already very good. It is possible that he will be given a "zero-dollar purchase" package due to business conflicts.In comparison, only North Borneo can guarantee its own safety and become a real top tycoon!No, it should be said to be a top chaebol, a chaebol that truly owns a country.No, it is still a company.After all, North Borneo Company is not a country."Only when you have your own piece of land can you sleep soundly!"Although the company has been bought, there are still many things to do to turn that piece of land into your own territory.In fact, the establishment of a headhunting company is also to prepare for that day. After the war, there will be a large number of talents available for employment in the ruins. For those hungry and cold Germans, as long as there is bread, they will definitely be willing to go abroad to work. Among those people, there are ordinary technicians, scientists, scholars, and of course some soldiers. Many people in the defeated Germany went abroad to escape the post-war trial. For a colonial company, these people are valuable talents. If the company wants to develop, it cannot do without talents, and talents from all aspects are needed.However, it takes capital to realize dreams. George picked up the phone again and said to the secretary outside the door."Book a flight ticket to Cuba tomorrow."Work makes people happy, which is necessary, especially when work is directly equated with money, people are not only happy, but also full of motivation.In the following days, George went back and forth to Cuba many times, and even went to Colombia specifically, where he bought high-quality coffee at a very low price. His days as a human cargo porter were very fulfilling, as he needed to fly back and forth to many countries. However, George enjoyed it. After all, it was the start-up phase, and as a boss, it was inevitable that he would have to work harder.
