Chapter 51: Chapter 51: New Technology Grouping of Talents
"What I need are talents in software engineers, database management and network security. Do you have any questions?" Although Dai Shiya was a little disappointed, she still cheered up and responded.
The man smiled slightly, revealing his white teeth: "I don't have any questions, I'm just curious, why would a young lady like you go to the job market to recruit in person?"
Dai Shiya heard the contempt in his words and felt a little unhappy, but she still patiently explained: "I recently took over a project and need to form a new technical team, so I came here to look for suitable talents."
"Oh? I wonder what kind of project it is that Miss Dai attaches so much importance to it?" The man asked with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Seeing this, Wei Qing hurriedly stepped forward, stood in front of Dai Shiya, and said with a smile: "Sir, we are here to recruit today. If you are not interested in the position, please don't interfere with our work."
The man looked at Dai Shiya deeply, said nothing more, turned and left.
"These people..." Dai Shiya looked at the man's departing back, feeling mixed emotions.
Wei Qing patted her shoulder gently and comforted her: "Don't be discouraged, let's try other methods."
"What other methods are there?" Dai Shiya was a little frustrated.
After thinking for a moment, Wei Qing suggested, "We can contact some university laboratories to see if there are suitable talents willing to join."
Dai Shiya's eyes lit up: "Yes, why didn't I think of that! Many universities have their own laboratories, and their students are full of passion and creativity. Maybe we can find the talents we need."
Dai Shiya and Wei Qing immediately took action. They consulted a lot of information, selected several universities related to the project, and contacted the heads of the laboratories one by one.
Some professors politely declined over the phone, saying that the research direction of their laboratory was not in line with Dai Shiya's project; some professors expressed their willingness to provide technical support, but they could not allow students to participate in the project for a long time, which was far from enough for Dai Shiya.
Just when Dai Shiya was about to give up, a phone call rekindled her hope...
A deep and magnetic male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, Miss Dai, I am the dean of the School of Computer Science at University A, my last name is Fang. I heard that you are setting up a technical team, is that right?"
Dai Shiya quickly replied: "Yes, Dean Fang, we are looking for talents in software engineers, database management and network security."
Dean Fang smiled and said, "We have many outstanding students in our college who may be able to meet your needs. How about this, you come to our college next Wednesday afternoon, and I will arrange for a few students to interview you?"
Dai Shiya was ecstatic: "Great! Thank you, Dean Fang, we will arrive on time next Wednesday afternoon."
After hanging up the phone, Dai Shiya excitedly shook Wei Qing's hand and said, "University A is the top computer school in the country. If we can recruit talents from there, the strength of our team will be greatly improved!"
Wei Qing was also happy for her: "Yes, it seems that our luck is really going to turn around this time!"
However, the good times didn't last long. When Mr. Zhou learned that Dai Shiya was forming a new team, he was secretly angry. He originally thought that Dai Shiya would give up and hand over the project to him obediently, but he didn't expect her to be so tenacious. In order to stop Dai Shiya's plan, Mr. Zhou began to spread the news that Dai Shiya's project was about to fail in the industry, and hinted that some technicians should not join her team.
The news spread like a virus, and some technicians who were originally interested began to hesitate or even change their minds. When Dai Shiya and Wei Qing contacted several technicians who had previously agreed to join them, they were all rejected.
"This is outrageous!" Dai Shiya was so angry that she threw the folder in her hand on the table, "Boss Zhou actually used such a despicable method!"
Wei Qing calmly analyzed: "Mr. Zhou's behavior shows that he is afraid. He is afraid that you can really make this project a success and threaten his position."
"But what should we do now? Several people we contacted have refused. If this continues, we will not be able to form a team." Dai Shiya's tone was full of anxiety.
Wei Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Don't worry, we still have the path of University A. As long as we can recruit a few outstanding students from University A, we can turn the situation around."
The next Wednesday afternoon, Dai Shiya and Wei Qing arrived at the School of Computer Science at University A on time. Dean Fang received them warmly and arranged for three students to interview them. These three students are the best in the school and have excellent technical capabilities. After some communication, Dai Shiya was very satisfied with two of the students. When she was about to discuss specific cooperation matters with them, a young man walked in... He was wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, carrying a backpack, looking inconspicuous, but with a unique confidence. He walked up to Dean Fang and greeted him politely: "Dean Fang, hello, I'm late."
Dean Fang introduced with a smile: "This is Lin Yu, one of the best students in our college. Lin Yu, these two are..."
Lin Yu's eyes fell on Dai Shiya and he smiled slightly, "Ms. Dai Shiya, I have heard of your name for a long time."
Dai Shiya was stunned for a moment, and an inexplicable premonition arose in her heart... "I've heard of your name for a long time?" Dai Shiya repeated doubtfully. She was sure that she had never seen this student named Lin Yu.
Lin Yu seemed to see her confusion and explained, "I have been following the developments of the Dai Group, especially the new project you have taken over. I admire your ideas and courage very much."
Dai Shiya realized that Lin Yu came for her project. A glimmer of hope ignited in her heart, and she quickly introduced the project situation and team needs to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu listened carefully and asked some sharp questions from time to time, which made Dai Shiya have a deeper recognition of his technical ability. However, when Dai Shiya talked about salary, Lin Yu proposed a number that was difficult for her to accept.
"Ms. Dai, I know my requirements are high, but I am confident that I can make your project a huge success." Lin Yu said firmly, "I hope to get a certain share of the future profits of the project."
Dai Shiya was stunned. She had never thought of paying her salary in this way. She looked at Wei Qing for help, but Wei Qing gave her an encouraging look.
"Lin Yu, we really recognize your ability." Wei Qing took over the conversation, "But, as you know, the project is still in its infancy, and we cannot guarantee future returns."
"I understand." Lin Yu nodded. "I believe in Miss Dai's ability and the potential of this project. I can accept the model of base salary plus commission, but the commission ratio must satisfy me."
Dai Shiya fell into deep thought. She knew that with Lin Yu's ability, he could definitely find a well-paid job, but he chose a risky entrepreneurial project, which was enough to prove his confidence in the project.
"Okay, I promise you." Dai Shiya finally made the decision, "I believe that we can create miracles together."
The joining of Lin Yu has injected new vitality into Dai Shiya's team. Under his leadership, the team's technical level has been significantly improved. However, Mr. Zhou's suppression has not stopped, and it is still very difficult to recruit technical personnel.
"We can't continue like this." Wei Qing looked at Dai Shiya, who was frowning, "We must find more talents, otherwise the project progress will be seriously affected."
"However, there are too few people willing to join us now." Dai Shiya said helplessly, "Mr. Zhou's rumors have had a great impact on us."
"No, we still have a chance." Wei Qing's eyes flashed, "We can follow Lin Yu's model and use the future revenue share of the project to attract talents."
Dai Shiya's eyes lit up. This was indeed a feasible solution. She immediately started to modify the recruitment information and changed the salary package to a basic salary plus commission model.
As soon as the news was released, it immediately attracted the attention of many technical personnel. Some people who were originally on the sidelines of the project also began to reconsider.
"Ms. Dai, I'm very interested in your project," a young technician said on the phone. "I highly approve of your technical solution and believe you can succeed. I'm willing to accept a cooperation model that offers a base salary plus commission."
…
However, although some technical personnel began to accept this way of cooperation, the number of people was still insufficient. Dai Shiya was worried that she could not form a complete technical team to deal with the project difficulties, and the progress of the project could not be delayed any longer. She held the phone tightly, speaking in a hurried tone...
"Hello? Hello Mr. Zhang, I'm Dai Shiya from Dai Group. I'd like to talk to you in detail about our project cooperation..." Dai Shiya rubbed her eyebrows, trying to make her tired voice sound more energetic.
"Ms. Dai, your project sounds promising, but to be honest, I still have some concerns. After all, the basic salary is too low, and I need to support my family..." The other end of the phone seemed a little hesitant.
Dai Shiya took a deep breath and patiently explained: "Mr. Zhang, I understand your concerns. But please believe that our project has great potential. Once it succeeds, the benefits you will gain will far exceed your expectations."
Similar conversations have been repeated over the past few days. There are technicians who are willing to accept the model of basic salary plus commission, but they are often inexperienced novices. The technical backbones who can really stand on their own are still poached by Zhou Group with high salaries or are waiting and watching.
"How is it? How many people are left?" Wei Qing looked at Dai Shiya who put down the phone, rubbing her temple tiredly, and asked with concern.
"Oh, forget it." Dai Shiya sighed, "Those who are willing to come are either inexperienced or experienced but incompetent. There is not a single person who can really be of great use."
"Time is running out, Shiya." Wei Qing looked at the calendar on the wall, frowning. "If we continue like this, the project will not be able to keep up with the progress. Once the funding chain is broken, all our previous efforts will be in vain."
Dai Shiya certainly understood this truth, but facing President Zhou's relentless pressure, she was like a bird trapped in a cage, with all the strength but nowhere to use it.
"No, I have to think of another way." Dai Shiya stood up suddenly and paced back and forth in the room. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and her eyes lit up. "Oh, right, we can go find those freelancers!"
"Freelancers?" Wei Qing was a little confused. "Do you mean those technology outsourcing companies or individual developers?"
"Yes! Although they don't have the stability of working in a big company, their technical capabilities are often very strong and their fees are relatively low. We can break down some technical difficulties into small projects and outsource them to them." Dai Shiya became more and more excited as she spoke, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"This is a good idea, but..." Wei Qing also fell into deep thought, "We don't know the situation of these freelancers. How can we guarantee their technical level and project progress?"
"I have a way to do this!" Dai Shiya smiled mysteriously, turned on the computer, and began to type quickly on the keyboard...
A week later, a new team consisting of several experienced old programmers and energetic young developers assembled in the conference room of Dai Group.
"Everyone, welcome aboard!" Dai Shiya looked around at everyone, her eyes full of hope and expectation. "I know that the challenges we face are huge, but I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to overcome the difficulties and achieve ultimate victory!"
The new team was in high spirits and quickly got into the intense work. However, just as they were confidently preparing to work hard, an unexpected problem quietly appeared before them...
"What? Key data is lost?!" Lin Yu stood up suddenly, looking at the computer screen in disbelief, his face suddenly became very ugly.
