How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself? Chapter 313 - 151 The First Step to Becoming a Capitalist2

Is this going to be settled?

The happiest one had to be Chu Xiao from Erson 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 mont...

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 imdiately 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 sothing from their faces...

Gu Heng was indifferent to the attention of the crowd and slowly extended one finger.

Tu Yong: "??"

"What amount are you referring to with that, Mr. Gu?"

"1 million."

Tu Yong wanted to turn away with an angry face, but his good manners stopped him from doing such a thing...

He could only frown and say, "Are you suggesting, Mr. Gu, that I’m only worth 1 million? Or do you think Gaoling Capital overspent by offering an annual salary of 4 million?"

Gu Heng shook his head gently, "Mr. Tu, don’t be in a hurry. Would you like to hear the reason behind this figure?"

Tu Yong took a deep breath, "Please go on, Mr. Gu."

"This 1 million isn’t a fixed salary. You can consider it probationary pay."

"Probationary period?"

"Yes, a probationary period."

Tu Yong stayed silent, waiting quietly for Gu Heng’s explanation.

"I ntioned a topic earlier, which you probably rember, about a project I worked on for the Yangcheng International Race Track. The total investnt estimated by the Yangcheng City governnt for this project is 20 billion, with the city governnt expecting to hold a minimum of 50% stake. The remaining 50% of shares are open for bidders.

I’m not going to lie, the initial purpose of setting up my company was to facilitate more convenient participation in the investnt for this project."

Tu Yong had probably already understood Gu Heng’s intention...

As expected, Gu Heng continued, "So this probationary period I ntioned aims to have Mr. Tu help the company partake in the bidding for this investnt. However, many companies are joining this project, including so with market values of several tens of billions.

The difficulty for us at IDE Capital, this new venture, to get involved in the investnt is significant...

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 et 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 investnt fails, or the investnt 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 ti 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 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 investnt 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 ti 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 sa competitive gamble as Mr. Tu, or do you directly apply for the project director position?"
