"Mr. Chen." Chen Zhao received a call from Andrews.
"Mr. Andrews, what's up?"
"Mr. Chen, we've found the professional manager you asked us to find," Andrews said. "He was originally the general manager of Xiyuan Beer's American division."
"Wait …" Chen Zhao asked. "Is the Xiyuan Beer the international brand?"
"Yes."
"But I'm only going to open a few million dollar brewery. I can't afford the salary of a professional manager like him."
Xiyuan Beer's market value was in the billions. The general manager's annual salary was more than a million.
The brewery Chen Zhao was going to invest in might only make a million dollars.
Did he have to use all his profits to hire this professional manager?
Anyone with a brain wouldn't find such a high-level manager.
Usually, headhunting companies would screen and rank talents around the world.
Then, if a company needed a talent, they'd buy the talent's information from the headhunting company.
It wouldn't be a small company and find a top talent.
If Chen Zhao wanted to find a normal manager, Andrews would find him a top-notch manager.
Chen Zhao really doubted whether it was safe to let Andrews manage his funds.
"Mr. Chen," Andrews said. "He only wants $200,000 a year."
"Wait …" Chen Zhao asked. "Is there something wrong with him?" Chen Zhao asked. "Or something else?"
An annual salary of $200,000 might be a super high salary for a regular person.
But for a top manager, $200,000 was a bit shameful.
He was also too obsessed. In his previous job, he was the general manager of Xiyuan Beer's American division.
That was a very high position.
After leaving Xiyuan Beer, he could still get a job with a good salary.
"He was kicked out by Xiyuan Beer," Andrews said. Andrews said, "He is a victim of the internal power struggle of Xiyuan Group. He is now engaged in the same industry as a declaration of war and revenge against Xiyuan Beer. He has interviewed many beer manufacturers before, but none of them are willing to accept him, because those beer manufacturers are afraid of offending Xiyuan Beer. Therefore, he is now taking a step back and taking the initiative to reduce his salary to help Mr. Chen run the brewery. However, he also has a condition to join. If he can increase the value of the beer brand tenfold in the next three years, he will automatically get 25% of the shares."
It had to be said that ambitious and capable people were dragons wherever they went.
"Doesn't he have a non-competition contract?"
"He didn't accept Xiyuan Beer's non-competition compensation," Andrews said.
Generally speaking, such a high-level professional manager would know a lot of the original company's trade secrets.
In order to ensure that trade secrets would not be leaked, the original company would require the employee not to participate in similar businesses for many years after leaving the original company.
Of course, because of this, the original company would also compensate the employee for the non-competition, usually half a year to a year of salary compensation.
However, they could choose not to sign it. However, if the original company found out that the employee had leaked the company's trade secrets, they would still be punished. It didn't mean that they could leak secrets without a competition agreement.
"Is it worth the price?" Chen Zhao asked.
"Xiyuan Beer was originally a Swedish beer brand. At first, it was just a medium-sized brand with average sales in Europe. It only came to America 12 years ago, but it was almost impossible for Xiyuan Beer to enter the beer market back then. In the first three years, Xiyuan Beer didn't make any profits from the American market and even suffered losses. It wasn't until Mr. Denver took over as the general manager of the American branch that he started to adjust Xiyuan Beer's strategy in America. In the same year, Xiyuan Beer sold over 300 million cans in America and became the fourth best-selling beer in America. Before that, Xiyuan Beer's sales had never exceeded the top 50. In the second year, it became the number one best-selling beer. In the following ten years, Xiyuan Beer has always been in the top three. Mr. Denver played a crucial role in expanding Xiyuan Beer's influence, so don't doubt Mr. Denver's talent in beer. Originally, Mr. Denver would have been able to retire honorably in five years, but because of the power struggle within Xiyuan Beer, he was kicked out without getting anything. Therefore, he hates the child he raised more than anyone else," Andrews said.
"I'd like to meet Mr. Denver. Is that okay?"
"That's a must. Mr. Denver also wants to meet you, Mr. Chen."
After all, Chen Zhao was the boss. He had to be a professional manager. He couldn't just not meet Andrews.
"I'm in San Diego right now," Chen Zhao said. "I can only return to L.A. in eight days."
"Mr. Denver hopes to do it as soon as possible. He seems to be in a hurry."
"If that's the case, I can only ask Mr. Denver to come to San Diego."
"I'll talk to him and ask for his opinion."
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."
"That's all for now. Mr. Chen, goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Less than 20 minutes after hanging up, Chen Zhao's phone rang again.
It was an unfamiliar number, but not many people knew that it was Chen Zhao's private number.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Are you Mr. Chen? I'm Denver. I applied for the brewery you're investing in. "
"Yes, Mr. Denver. I'm Chen Zhao."
"Which hotel are you in San Diego? I'll drive there now."
"Are you coming today?"
"If Mr. Chen can accept my job, I hope to start working as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'm at Buffy Hotel. When Mr. Denver arrives, you can call me."
"Okay, I'll see you in four hours."
Chen Zhao had to admit that Mr. Denver was really impatient.
Chen Zhao was looking forward to meeting him.
Fali was reading on the tatami in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Gerlyn was running around the living room like crazy.
Even if she was alone, she could have a lot of fun.
Chen Zhao walked to Fali. "Darling, what are you reading?"
Fali flipped the pages. Chen Zhao's face darkened when he saw the book in Fali's hands.
The words "Sophisticated Physiognomy" were imprinted in his eyes.
There was such a thing as sophisticated physiognomy?
Chen Zhao would rather Fali read fashion magazines than something that seemed right but wasn't.
