Chapter 1279 10% Acceptance Rate

It is now mid-March, the earth is warming up, and the Big Apple City has finally ushered in a warm current after experiencing the cold winter.

Yang Cheng just watched the second round of Liverpool's UEFA Champions League round of 16. The home game against the Ukrainian giants Dynamo Kyiv. The last game was an away game. Liverpool beat the opponent 2-0 and returned to the home court. In order to keep the third line The physical fitness of the battle, Loew carried out a large rotation of the team lineup, and finally relied on Kubird's wonderful world wave, a small victory 1:0, a total score of 3:0 to enter the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season, and the distance from hitting the top of Europe is even closer. One step closer.

While the excitement was still there, he called Ian Ayre, and as soon as he connected, he heard the deafening cheers from Anfield.

"Boss~ wait a minute, it's too noisy here~" Ian Al yelled into the phone.

Yang Cheng was in a good mood and didn't care about these details, "No rush~"

A few minutes later, the loud background sound stopped abruptly, and Ian Air panted, "Boss, the scene was too lively, did you watch the game? We won~"

Yang Cheng smiled and said, "Of course, the team is playing very well. Even though most of the main players are absent, they can still play a controlled game. Mr. Loew has done a very good job. Please convey my regards."

"Yes boss, I will definitely convey it~"

"I know you still have work to do. To make a long story short, how far has the club's negotiations with Cardiff City progressed regarding the acquisition of Los Angeles FC?"

Ian Ayre said without hesitation, "The framework has been basically determined. The only problem is that the owner of Cardiff City wants to retain 10% of Los Angeles FC shares."

Yang Cheng pondered for a while, "Maximum 5%, we can form an alliance with Cardiff City, and we will advance and retreat in the Premier League in the future."

Ian Ayre immediately understood Yang Cheng's meaning, "In the Premier League, if a small club wants to survive, it must be attached to a big club. I don't think Cardiff City will reject our kindness."

"Very well, that's it, you go to celebrate with the players, I hope they will continue to work hard."

"Goodbye boss~"

After hanging up the phone, Yang Cheng still had a smile on her face. At this moment, Susu walked in on high heels, "Boss, this is the intern recruited this summer, and I need to sign~"

Yang Cheng is standing in front of the window at the moment, overlooking the lush green Bryant Park. In this steel forest, seeing the green once in a while will greatly relieve the spirit.

Turning around, he took the file but didn't open it, but stared at Susu's face for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Susu asked weakly.

Yang Cheng grinned, "I just realized that you changed your hairstyle?"

To be precise, his hair was cut short, and he changed to a shoulder-length short hair that is very popular recently, with a little bit of curly hair. His temperament has not changed much, but he looks much more energetic.

Susu rubbed her head, "The hair was too long before, and it took a lot of effort to wash it, so I cut it a little~"

Yang Cheng opened the file and boasted casually, "They are all beautiful~"

A woman who pleases herself, Susu changed her hairstyle, so she naturally hoped to be praised. Fortunately, Yang Cheng made up for it, and didn't pay attention when she came here in the morning, and it's not too late to find out now.

This year, the company will recruit a new batch of senior students to the company for internships in the summer, and 10% of them will be retained as new employees in the end.

"There are so many applicants?" Yang Cheng saw that the total number of applicants was several thousand. If the acceptance rate of 10% is still followed, the company will suddenly have hundreds of new employees. Obviously, the company's current positions are not so high. Many notches.

Susu hooked her hair, "There are many applications from Chinese students this year~"

Yang Cheng suddenly realized that the company had not been established for a long time last year, and her reputation was not big enough. For those conservative Chinese students, her company was naturally not the first choice.

But this year is different. New Times Media is very popular in the US market. Young people will use MS short videos even if they don’t use Toutiao, or they will also watch TV dramas or sports programs produced by CW TV and New Times Pictures, even middle-aged and elderly people. Don't like playing with mobile phones, but always read newspapers, right?

The Los Angeles Times and The New York Times dominate markets on both coasts, or there are local tabloids to choose from.

In short, it is an exaggeration to say that the current New Era Media has almost occupied the entertainment life of ordinary people in North America, and its strength has also been recognized by the outside world with the skyrocketing valuation.

The most intuitive performance is that the number of fresh graduates who sent their resumes has increased by more than 200% compared with the same period last year. This is good news, but it also puts forward new requirements for the company's personnel department.

Close the folder, "Call Mr. Martinez up~"

Martinez is the CHO of New Era Media. He had known him at Coca-Cola before, but he accepted the call of headhunters because he was still unable to get a promotion. Finally, after Eddie talked to him, he agreed to join New Era Media and reconsidered. Following the company's personnel structure, it became one of the giants of New Era Media.

About 10 minutes later, Martinez knocked on the door and came in with square steps.

Yang Cheng stood directly in the salon area and shouted, "Mr. Martinez~"

This is a white man born in Alaska. It is said that there is still a bit of Viking blood in his body. He is tall and big, with explosive muscles comparable to a bodybuilding champion, and his suit is almost bursting.

"boss~"

Yang Cheng pressed his hands kindly, "Sit casually, what do you want to drink? How about a glass of wine?"

Martinez sat down with a smile, "Although it's a very touching proposal, I have to reject it ruthlessly, or I won't be able to keep my job~"

With classic American humor, Yang Cheng smiled cooperatingly, "Let's try my coffee~"

"It's an honor, I've heard that the coffee in the boss's office is comparable to any top coffee shop in the world~"

"Ha, it's all nonsense from the people below, but I did collect a lot of top-quality coffee beans."

"Susu, grind two cups of Arabica~"

Turning his head and winking at Martinez, "I just got someone from Ethiopia, try something new?"

Martinez behaved very calmly, and his qualifications were his greatest confidence in facing Yang Cheng.

Soon, Susu brought coffee, and put a cup for each person on the tea table.

Martinez took a sip, closed his eyes and thought about it for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Perfect coffee, I heard that the people living there have always maintained the tradition of harvesting wild coffee beans?"

Yang Cheng nodded affirmatively, "Yes, after thousands of years of expansion and adaptation, a unique coffee terroir has been formed.

Arabica, the Ethiopian coffee developed in a wild environment, is also called wilderness coffee, which retains the most original and natural flavor of coffee beans.

In fact, many people do not know that most of the coffee in Central and South America are imported varieties, and Ethiopia is the real origin of coffee. "

"Thank you, I learned another knowledge~"

Yang Cheng put down the coffee cup with a smile, and talked about business, "I called you up to ask about this year's intern recruitment plan. If the ratio of 10% is still used, will it be too much? And the ratio of new employees Too much will lead to a decline in the company's operating efficiency."

Martinez also put down his coffee cup, and said sternly, "I also have this worry, so I will make a report for you to sign, otherwise I can make the decision myself."

This is something within the purview of his job.

Yang Cheng listened quietly and did not express any opinion for the time being.

"Actually, if it's just administrative staff, it's a more reasonable way to match the old with the new. Moreover, with the establishment of the two new subsidiaries of New Era Sports and Fashion, there is a great demand for administrative staff. Hundreds of new employees are not a problem either.

But professional talents are the key, especially the lack of middle-level management personnel. Headhunting alone will never be able to fill this big hole. In the end, we still have to cultivate ourselves. "

Yang Cheng's expression was calm, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.

After a moment of silence, Yang Cheng sighed, "Now the whole world is laying off employees, only we are expanding aggressively. I am worried that the redundancy of personnel will become a burden that slows down the company's development."

Martinez smiled bitterly, "I can only say that this is inevitable, and what we can do is to slow down the time for the negative impact as much as possible."

Yang Cheng waved his hand, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing your work. In fact, since you came, the company has never had a problem with staffing. Yes, it's all your fault."

Martinez will not be humble, "This is my duty~"

"Back to the topic we discussed, should we admit these hundreds of fresh graduates? Or simply reduce the final admission ratio? For example, to 5%?"

Martinez pondered for a while, then slowly shook his head, "Not advisable, the 10% admission ratio has been announced, and the students submitted their resumes with hope. If we backtrack, it will leave a mark on this group of young people who are about to enter the society. To make a bad impression, even if they can only affect a small group of people, we can't take it lightly, reputation is the most important thing to maintain in the early stages of our company's development."

Yang Cheng is very satisfied with Martinez's attitude of always talking about our company. This is a manifestation of his sense of identity and belonging to the company. He doesn't want his subordinates to be professional managers who only care about money.

"The ratio cannot be fixed. If the quality of this batch of interns is not good, should we still recruit them according to this ratio?"

"Boss doesn't have to worry about this. I have archived and categorized the resumes sent this year. Nearly 70% of the resumes are from students from prestigious schools in well-known leagues such as the Ivy League and G5."

Yang Cheng was surprised, "There are also G5 alliances?"

Martinez said quite proudly, "Yes, with the establishment of the British branch, New Era Media has a very good reputation in the British Isles, and our preferential treatment for young people has long been well-known, and it has been well received by fresh graduates. Agreed, it is reasonable."
