"Fuck! Fuck fuck fuck!"
As soon as he returned home, Griffin Jones could no longer hold back his anger. With a sullen face, he grabbed everything within his sight and started smashing it.
Ever since he got the genius medicine, everything has been going smoothly for him, except for the past few days when he suffered several setbacks.
First it was Chen Leyao, then Zhang San. Being overtaken by others twice in a row had completely ruined his mentality.
After all, in his opinion, these two people are both top talents, and it is not so easy to find another one, especially Chen Leyao, who is not only a financial genius, but also a stunning beauty. There may not be many people in the world who can possess both.
However, apart from venting his impotent rage, he found that he seemed unable to do anything.
Even if he had a genius medicine, his foundation was too shallow and he had no help at all. Although the money he earned these days was an amount that he would never see in his entire life, it was nothing compared to the real capital.
A few million would be a joke if put in front of any listed company with a little bit of strength.
To put it bluntly, what happened to Zhang San this time was that he was crushed by someone with huge capital. The other person asked for half of your wealth as soon as he opened his mouth. What qualifications do you have to compete with him
This made him seem to have returned to the time before he got the genius medicine, and he once again became the weak and powerless loser he once was.
He didn't want to recall this feeling.
"One day, I will make you regret it!"
At first, Griffin Jones didn't think that someone was deliberately targeting him.
Even though someone got there first twice, there was no connection between them. If one had not found any clues or suspicious points, one would not have associated it with this aspect. At most, one would have thought that one was unlucky.
But in the next few days, just when he was planning to settle for the second best and build the basic framework of Tianshen Venture Capital through a headhunting company and recruitment, similar situations began to occur frequently one after another.
Although it was not all people but only a few among dozens of people, what happened to these people was very similar to what happened to Zhang Sanshi. They always spent money before him to "convince" the other party.
It is actually very common for several job seekers to reject one company and choose another, and it is not noticeable among dozens of people. However, the occurrence of similar situations one after another inevitably made Griffin Jones feel that something was wrong.
Perhaps he would not think that someone was deliberately targeting and monitoring him, but at least he had realized that he now had a competitor whose purpose of action was highly consistent with his.
"Damn it! Xinghai Venture Capital!"
After realizing this, Griffin Jones didn't have to spend much effort to find this 'opponent'.
This is not a difficult thing to do. After all, it is impossible for Xia Xu to stop people from talking.
Griffin Jones already had some understanding of Xinghai Venture Capital, otherwise he would not have used Xinghai Venture Capital as an example when trying to persuade Chen Leyao.
For him, Xinghai Venture Capital is a pioneer that he is confident he will surpass sooner or later.
After learning that Xinghai Venture Capital had also been actively contacting various parties to recruit talent recently, Griffin Jones' investigation was obviously confirmed - Xinghai Venture Capital and he were both in Xingcheng, and the talent market and headhunting companies they contacted were obviously highly overlapping.
Especially when I saw that the general manager of Xinghai Venture Capital was Chen Leyao, everything was self-evident.
Even if it wasn't a deliberate targeting, Xinghai Venture Capital had already become his biggest competitor.
It can even be foreseen that all this is just the beginning. Not only will there be overlaps in talent recruitment, but as venture capital companies in Star City, there may also be more friction in business.
He is a greedy person. He would not be willing to add a third-party capital to the money he can earn by himself.
"But... Haha, Xinghai Venture Capital, it seems that you have taken the initiative, and your funds are far beyond my reach, but the current situation should be described by Xia Guo as the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark."
After figuring out everything, Griffin Jones felt somewhat enlightened after venting his initial anger. He sorted out and analyzed everything with the help of the super brain potion, and soon a sneer appeared on his face.
Because he realized that, just like him before, Xinghai Venture Capital was now obviously unaware of the existence of him as a competitor.
After all, his venture capital company has actually just registered a signboard. Not only does it have no employees or office locations, it has not even had time to start real business. The current funds are earned from the American stock market.
The difference between Xinghai Venture Capital now and him before is that Xinghai Venture Capital has not yet realized his existence, but he has already discovered Xinghai Venture Capital.
As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm. It was extremely easy for him to plot against Xinghai Venture Capital unintentionally.
Especially...
"I thought it would be hard for us to meet again in such a short time, but I didn't expect to meet again so soon... Miss Chen."
Griffin Jones had a grim smile on his face.
…
Let’s talk about Xia Xu.
He has been very busy these past few days. Apart from going to school perfunctorily, he has been following Griffin Jones, the treasure hunter, to dig for people.
Since he had made up his mind not to care about the original plot, he naturally would not be timid. All the characters with names and surnames in the original plot were poached by him, either in advance or by interception. There were a total of eight people.
Although these eight people are not as good as four or five-star players like Zhang San and Chen Leyao, as the future core team of Griffin Jones, they are naturally not bad. They basically have two-star talents, and there are even two three-star players among them. They are definitely more than enough to serve as middle-level employees of Xinghai Venture Capital.
"Sister Le Yao, you always complain to me that you are alone, but this time it's not the case. These people are all top talents carefully selected by me."
Xia Xu stood outside the glass wall, looking at the eight people inside who were already familiarizing themselves with their positions, and chuckled at Chen Leyao who was also standing aside.
The place where they are now is naturally the office location that Chen Leyao is looking for to rent, an office building located in the prosperous area of Star City.
The entire 18th floor of Nanhu Building has been rented by Xinghai Venture Capital, but most of the space is now empty.
"Boss, where on earth did you find all these people from?"
There was something strange in Chen Leyao's eyes as she looked at her boss.
In fact, she was a little skeptical about Xia Xu's self-proclaimed "good vision" before. It can be said that she believed it, but not completely.
But now she really believed it and was shocked at the same time.
When the boss brought these eight people over just now, she got to know them and found that each of them was eloquent and had outstanding professional qualities. Each of them was definitely a rare talent.
Usually, such outstanding talents are either cultivated and honed by large companies after thousands of people have gone through a single-plank bridge, or they are poached from other companies at great cost.
How on earth did my boss manage to recruit eight people in just a few days
Oh, no, it should be nine people, including a legal director appointed by the boss, whose name is Zhang San.
Although she was not as good at law as she was at business and finance, this Zhang San always gave her a very dangerous feeling.
It wasn't the kind of danger of being caught up in a conspiracy or a life-and-death crisis, but she had a feeling that the other party was a little 'scary', especially when he spoke slowly and with a smile, which made her feel a little creepy for some reason.
"Where else could it have come from? Of course I dug it out. I've always had a good eye."
Xia Xu smiled and didn't want to stay in the company any longer. He just said, "I'll leave the company to you, Sister Le Yao. There's no problem with the abilities of these people. They are more than enough to be the heads of various departments. If we add some grassroots staff, we can start the business officially."
"Well, don't worry, boss. I will definitely do a good job on this little thing."
Chen Leyao chuckled and blinked: "After all, I don't want to lose this job with an annual salary of 8 million."
"Sister Leyao, I am naturally relieved when you do things."
Xia Xu smiled when he heard this and said, "The college entrance examination will be held in two days. I probably won't come to the company for a while. I hope that when I finish the exam and come here, I will see a thriving Xinghai Venture Capital."
"Of course, I promise not to let you down, boss."
Chen Leyao agreed with a smile.
"By the way, please save this number. If you need any help and can't contact me, just call me."
Xia Xu forwarded another phone number via text message.
The number belongs to Yang Bowen. Now Chen Leyao is in charge of Xinghai Venture Capital, and the consulting company is in a free-range state, but Yang Bowen is basically the head.
After all, there are only three people in total, and only Old Yang is considered a senior person. The others, whether Meng Bochao or He Qing, have just joined. It is impossible to let them manage Old Yang.
"How can you help?"
After receiving the number, Chen Leyao guessed something and asked curiously with some tentative hint.
"You saw it last time, tracking, intelligence, investigation, and network security. If necessary, we can also provide some military assistance."
Xia Xu shrugged.
Joyoung Consulting is a legitimate consulting company, not a secretive organization. There is actually nothing to hide. Besides, Chen Leyao had met Lao Yang last time.
"force?"
Chen Leyao was not surprised by the series of "helps" listed by her boss, but the last one made her look interested.
"He's just a bunch of hooligans. There's a guy from the military over there. You know him well. He's the one who drove you in a taxi a few days ago, He Qing."
Xia Xu laughed dumbly and shook his head, "I've already said that Lao Yang and his company are also a legitimate consulting company, not some black or gray organization."
"What if I need stronger force to help?"
Chen Leyao said with a hint of amusement on her face.
"Then you'll just have to find it."
Xia Xu spread out his hands, turned his head and pointed to the other side.
There was Atuo, squatting silently without saying a word, always looking around vigilantly, like a loyal guard.
"Do you mean to let the dog bite someone else?"
Chen Leyao burst out laughing, but quickly covered her mouth for the sake of her manners, but her charming eyes were still bent downwards.
"yes."
Xia Xu smiled but said nothing.
It was indeed letting the dog bite people, there is nothing wrong with that.
It's just that this dog's fighting ability may be beyond your imagination.
