Wu Bin had some experience in poaching people.
The most important thing was to raise the other party's expectations and use certain methods to satisfy them.
Sometimes, he would paint a picture, sometimes he would lure them with benefits, and sometimes he would use both the carrot and the stick.
Wu Bin had already done his research. Hao Qiong was an executive planner at Shang Yang Games and in charge of miscellaneous work.
According to the standard salary of a local executive planner in Jingzhou, it was usually two to three thousand yuan a month.
Of course, Wu Bin had already done his homework. He knew that Tengda's benefits were ridiculously good.
He did not know exactly how good they were.
Until now, he had only heard of people coming from Tengda. He had never seen anyone coming from Tengda.
He wanted to ask Tengda's employees, but they would not tell him.
The only rough estimate was that the official interview mentioned that Huang Sibo's salary had been doubled when he interviewed at Tengda.
However, Wu Bin had tried all sorts of ways to find out that Huang Sibo's salary had only been two thousand yuan. That was why doubling his salary was not too much.
What's more, Huang Sibo was a very important person. He had been poached to be a chief planner. How could his salary not be high?
An ordinary employee like Hao Qiong would probably only earn the same as Huang Sibo's salary back then, right?
Wu Bin gritted his teeth and estimated that Hao Qiong's salary would at most be five thousand yuan. Any more than that would be an insult to Wu Bin's intelligence.
Of course, Hao Qiong's income did not come from his basic salary alone. He had to take bonuses into account as well.
Wu Bin did some calculations. The mobile version of Bloody Battle Song's monthly net income was about four million yuan. This could be roughly estimated based on its ranking on various leaderboards, purchase options, number of players, popularity, and other information.
It was not a lot. After all, this was a game with a conscience. It did not require paywalls.
Wu Bin thought about it. Most games companies would use ten percent of their net income as project bonuses. That meant that the employees would only receive three to four hundred thousand yuan.
At a higher level, it would be five hundred thousand yuan.
However, a project team would have at least thirty to forty people. The core members would receive the majority of the money. Hao Qiong, who was just an assistant, would be lucky to receive five thousand yuan as a bonus.
That meant that Hao Qiong's monthly salary and bonuses would at most be about ten thousand yuan.
Wu Bin was not sure about the other benefits.
However, another two to four thousand yuan would be more than enough to cover those benefits, right?
In Wu Bin's mind, the monthly salary was between 12,000 to 14,000 yuan.
To him, this monthly salary was already ridiculous. Most chief planners in Jingzhou only earned seven or eight thousand yuan a month. Now, they were spending thirteen thousand yuan to poach an executive planner?
That was ridiculous enough.
Therefore, Wu Bin's method of poaching people was to raise the other party's expectations.
The following was the script he was looking forward to.
Wu Bin: "Your salary must be very high, right? The daily salary should be at least 6000, right? "
Hao Qiong replied, "No, it's not that much. It's less than 5,000."
Wu Bin: "Oh, then you guys must have a lot of bonuses, right? It must be above seven or eight thousand, right? "
Hao Qiong replied, "Not really. Just five thousand or so."
Wu Bin: "Then, your monthly income is only ten thousand yuan. That's lower than I thought."
Hao Qiong replied, "It's alright. The company benefits are good."
Wu Bin: "Even if the benefits are good, you can't make a living. With your qualifications and abilities, if you come to us, your basic salary plus bonuses will be at least 12,000!"
Hao Qiong asked, "Really?"
Wu Bin: "Of course. You're worth that much!"
If Hao Qiong still hesitated, Wu Bin would continue to raise the price to 15,000 yuan.
Ordinary people would not be able to resist the temptation of earning an extra 5,000 yuan a month.
At that point, poaching Tengda would be considered a success.
It was a little expensive, but Wu Bin had no choice but to complete the task his boss had given him.
In any case, he had to poach Tengda first.
Wu Bin began to act according to the script he had imagined.
"I heard that Tengda's benefits are very good? Your salary must be very high, right? The daily salary should be at least 6000 yuan, right? "
Hao Qiong nodded. "Yes, something like that."
Wu Bin: "?"
He felt a little dizzy.
Wu Bin had already given Hao Qiong an extra thousand yuan for the highest salary he had expected. Yet, Hao Qiong had admitted it so calmly!
Fortunately, Wu Bin reacted quickly and put on an 'as expected' expression. "The bonus should be at least seven or eight thousand yuan, right?"
Hao Qiong sniggered. "Indeed."
Wu Bin: "?"
He felt like he was in a difficult position.
What did 'indeed' mean?
More than seven or eight thousand yuan?!
One had to know that games companies usually gave out 10% of their revenue as bonuses. What's more, this was considered a lot. There were many games companies that made money but did not give out bonuses at all.
Yet, Shang Yang Games was giving out more than seven or eight thousand yuan to an executive planner?
It looked like it was at least more than 8,000 yuan!
Wu Bin felt like there was something wrong with his budget.
All in all, Hao Qiong's salary was already close to 15,000 yuan.
He would have to spend at least 18,000 yuan to poach Tengda.
This was too difficult to bear!
However, the arrow was nocked on the bow. It had to be fired.
Wu Bin could not back down now. He could only bite the bullet and say, "Then, your monthly salary should be around 15,000 yuan. It's a little lower than I expected, but not by much."
Hao Qiong smiled innocently. "It's alright. The company's benefits are good."
Wu Bin finally had something to say. He quickly said, "Benefits can't be used to make a living!"
Before he could finish speaking, Hao Qiong asked curiously, "It can be used to make a living.
"We provide meals for all three meals. It's Fish-Catching Take-Out, and the menu changes every day. It's definitely healthy and hygienic."
Wu Bin, "…"
With this calculation, even the most basic food expenses would be close to a thousand yuan a month.
His budget had to increase again!
Hao Qiong continued, "What's more, we go to the nameless restaurant regularly for meals."
Wu Bin, "…"
I'm done for.
Isn't he messing with me?
Of course, Wu Bin knew about the nameless restaurant. The food there was extremely expensive. Even if they were stingy, they would still cost two to three hundred yuan per person.
Not to mention a lot, eating once a month was not something a normal company could handle!
Wu Bin felt like there was no way he could continue this conversation. He had to change his train of thought.
He had to talk to this naive little brother in front of him about his ideals.
Wu Bin cleared his throat. "Sigh, I think humans can't just satisfy their appetites. Shouldn't we have some spiritual pursuits? "
Hao Qiong nodded profusely. "That's right, I was just about to say that!
"Our company allows you to play games as you please. The computers are the best, and they have dual screens.
"There's a mandatory expense allowance every month, and you can use it to top up the game.
"Also …"
Wu Bin hurriedly raised his hand to stop Hao Qiong.
"Alright, alright, alright. I know that your company's benefits are great.
"But you have to think about your own career development plan."
"Tengda is full of talents. There are many people waiting to be promoted to chief planner. It's too difficult for you to climb up!"
Hao Qiong looked confused. "It's alright.
"The company will regularly arrange for outstanding employees to explore other business areas.
"The current chief planner in Tengda only took seven months to become the chief planner.
"I think I'll be promoted soon if I perform better."
Wu Bin, "…"
There was no way to continue this conversation! There was no way to continue this conversation!
It would have been better if they did not talk about benefits. Now that they talked about benefits, Hao Qiong's estimated salary was more than twenty thousand yuan a month.
Even if Hao Qiong was offered twenty thousand yuan a month, he might not be willing to join Tengda!
After much consideration, Wu Bin could only grit his teeth and offer an exorbitant price.
"I'll be straightforward! If you join our company, we'll pay you twenty-two thousand yuan a month. How about that? "
Wu Bin looked at Hao Qiong.
Hao Qiong looked back at Wu Bin.
They were speechless.
After a long time, Hao Qiong scratched his head. "Do you always poach people at a reduced salary?"
Wu Bin, "?"
His entire body froze.
Poach people at a reduced salary?
Wu Bin was very confused. "That's not right. This is already more than your salary and bonus. Even if you add in the benefits, it should be enough."
Hao Qiong was speechless. "It's not as high as my bonus."
Wu Bin felt light-headed. "Didn't you say that your bonus is more than eight thousand yuan?"
Hao Qiong, "I only said that my bonus is more than eight thousand yuan. I didn't say how much. I'm just taking care of your feelings."
Wu Bin, "…"
What the f * ck are you taking care of my feelings?!
Wu Bin sighed silently and looked at Hao Qiong. "Brother, if you really take care of my feelings, tell me the truth. How much is your bonus?"
Hao Qiong, "About ten thousand yuan."
Wu Bin, "… Brother, can you be more precise so that I can give up? How much is more than ten thousand yuan? "
Hao Qiong, "More than ten thousand … double?"
Wu Bin's face darkened. He felt that his intelligence was being insulted. "… Brother, do you think I'm stupid?
"The net income of your game is only four to five million yuan a month, right? If you get twenty thousand yuan as a bonus, wouldn't the monthly bonus of this project be at least a million yuan? "
Hao Qiong nodded. "That's right."
Wu Bin felt that it was even more ridiculous. "One-fifth of the monthly income is used as a bonus???"
Hao Qiong shook his head. "That's not how it works.
"We don't give bonuses based on profit. We give bonuses based on reputation.
"Our game's reputation is currently A. Every month, we will give bonuses based on one-tenth of the total investment in the game for six consecutive months.
"We spent a total of ten million yuan on the development and marketing of this game. Therefore, we will give bonuses based on one-tenth of that amount every month."
Wu Bin wondered if he had heard wrongly. "What if the game doesn't make money?"
Hao Qiong was puzzled. "Why are you more stupid than me? I already said that we give bonuses based on reputation. Whether it makes money or not, we give bonuses based on that."
Wu Bin was silent for a long time. Then, he sighed. "Sigh, you people in the gaming department make so much money. I'm so envious of you."
Hao Qiong shook his head. "No, our company's human resources, administration, finance … they make a lot too. My salary in our company … is just average. "
Wu Bin, "…"
"Brother, is your company still hiring?"
"If I were to submit my resume, where should I submit it?"
Hao Qiong spread his hands. "I'm not sure about that. I heard that in the future, we'll have to take a test when we hire new employees. I'm not sure what the test will be. Now, we can't even recommend internally."
"Sigh, that's not right. Weren't you the one who wanted to poach me?"
Hao Qiong suddenly realized that their roles seemed to have swapped.
Wu Bin cupped his fists. "Goodbye!"
He turned around and left.
Hao Qiong looked at Wu Bin's back as he silently sipped his coffee. He was puzzled.
Were the HR people nowadays so unprofessional?
