Chapter 194 A Bad Start
We are not afraid of not knowing the goods, but we are afraid of comparing goods.
If you compare goods, you will have to throw them away, if you compare people with others, you will die.
Without Andre, Gao Guang would be very satisfied with the few people he interviewed, but with Andre, these people he interviewed now are not only attractive.
A middle-aged man who looked very arrogant was sitting on the chair in front of Gao Guang. He was very calm but extremely confident and said: "I require a monthly salary of at least 20,000 US dollars, combat allowance, hazard pay, and high temperature allowance." , as well as fixed holidays, equal distribution rights of loot, and dividends on commissions. Of course, the proportion of dividends can be discussed.”
The interview is the final evaluation of the candidate, but after all, Gao Guang's interview is different from the interview in the workplace, that is, he will not let people go back and wait for a call.
If it works, it works. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t work. Get it done on the spot.
Then this person is no longer good.
Gao Guang shook his head regretfully and said, "It seems we can't agree on the salary level. Thank you for coming to the interview. I wish you good luck."
Gao Guang stood up, and the middle-aged man sitting opposite him looked a little surprised. He probably didn't expect that he would be rejected, so Gao Guang's straightforward rejection caught him off guard.
Standing up, shaking hands with Gao Guang, the first person to be interviewed turned and left.
After the interviewer left, Francisco, who was acting as a backdrop next to the highlight, finally said angrily: "The 82nd Airborne Division is indeed not bad, but I thought the Airborne Division can get 20,000 US dollars. What good things are you thinking!"
The 82nd Airborne Division is also a well-known elite unit in the United States. However, if the retired soldiers of the 82nd Airborne Division want a monthly salary of 20,000 US dollars, dividends, and an equal share of the spoils, then it is pure nonsense.
Sanji participated in the entire interview, but he didn't say anything this time because none of the first three interviews failed, which hurt his self-esteem a bit.
"Actually..." Sanji hesitated, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's nothing."
"Just say what you have to say."
Gao Guang now realizes the value of Sanji more and more. He said sincerely: "Did I do something wrong? If I said something wrong or did something wrong, please tell me."
Sanji took a breath and said: "Actually, the price the person asked just now is not too much. I want to remind you that he earns a basic salary of eight thousand US dollars a month in a large company. That is because the large company has sufficient manpower and a complete There is a rotation system, sufficient logistics supplies, complete medical support, and most importantly, reinforcements can be obtained in time if there is any danger. "
After talking about the benefits of a large company, Sanji spread his hands and said: "To join a small company like yours that currently only has three people..."
"Four, and one is recovering from injury, but we are a company of four."
Sanji spread his hands again and said: "Okay, let's join the small company of the four of you. Then, can I take turns to rest when performing long-term missions? Is there sufficient logistical support? Can reinforcements be called immediately in case of danger? , I am injured, can I get medical treatment immediately? Is there any insurance?”
Gao Guang shook his head guiltily, and then Sanji whispered: "So a monthly salary of 8,000 in a big company is acceptable, but for a small company like yours... that is on the rise, you have to get at least 20,000." Dollar."
Mike and Francisco looked at each other, because the two of them found out that they were from this small company, and then the two of them had no insurance, and the current basic salary of the two of them was 10,000.
Oops, I feel like I am setting myself on fire and making myself self-defeating.
Gao Guang was speechless, and then he whispered to Sanji: "You should have told me this earlier."
Sanji said in confusion: "This is common sense."
Well, it unfortunately exposed a lack of common sense about the industry, but the problem is, the market in Baghdad is different from Los Angeles.
Is it possible to bring back the person just now?
Gao Guang thought about it and gave up. The key was that his expectations for Andre were too high. With such a genuine special forces background, he didn't need to pay dividends and could still spend ten thousand dollars compared to someone. It's hard for Gao Guang to have any good impression of people who ask for various subsidies and dividends.
No wonder the Russians are so popular, because the requirements are really not high and there are really few problems.
"Then let's wait for the second person to come for the interview."
The interview time is all set. If you come early, you won't see me, and if you come late, you won't see me. Punctuality is the most basic requirement for any PM.
Sangji set the time to meet one every fifteen minutes. After the first one left, just wait a few minutes to see the next one.
When answering the call from the applicant, neither Mike nor Francisco arrived because it took too long and it would be inhumane to keep the two injured people waiting. But now is the interview. There are only four people standing there for an hour. , it is also necessary to provide a scene for the highlights.
King's Defense Company has to have some kind of appearance, so there are two Hummers parked at the door, and the two strong men standing behind the bright lights are all responsible for the appearance.
Now that the first interview is over, the process is simpler and less interesting than imagined.
After a boring wait, the second applicant arrived.
A man in his thirties who was not very tall but very strong, wearing a baseball cap with the Texas Lone Star flag on it on a hot day, walked into the interview room with his head held high.
Gao Guang smiled politely, pointed to the chair in front of him and said, "Please sit down."
Applicant No. 2 did not sit down. He frowned and looked at Gao Guang. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly said: "Are you a mad dog?"
"Yes."
Applicant No. 2 frowned. He looked at Mike, then at Francisco, then at Sanji who was sitting next to Gao Guang, and suddenly said with disgust: "Goodbye."
Applicant No. 2 turned around and left, and then couldn't get the highlights done.
"stop!"
Gao Guang shouldn't have spoken, but he couldn't help it anymore, so he stood up and said loudly: "The interview is not over yet, why are you leaving? Are you polite!"
Applicant No. 2 stopped, turned around and looked at Gao Guang, and said with disdain: "You deserve to be called a mad dog for an Asian? There is another one..."
Before he finished speaking, the No. 2 applicant looked at Mike with disgust, spat hard on the ground, and then walked away.
Gao Guang was stunned, but Mike was angry.
"You... oh!"
Apparently, applicant No. 2 had a problem when he discovered that his boss was yellow, the person sitting next to him was Iraqi, and his companion was black.
What's wrong? It's racial discrimination.
Mike definitely couldn't bear it, but with his broken ribs, he could stand aside as an audience, or play the role of door god, but when he got angry and wanted to fight with the No. 2 applicant, he immediately let him The true colors are revealed.
Just stand still and don't even do a little strenuous exercise, so why fight?
Gao Guang was stunned. He watched the No. 2 applicant slam the door and leave. In the end, he said with an angry face: "Should I have shot him just now?"
Mike said angrily: "Did you just react! You should beat this bastard to death. Damn it, if my ribs hadn't been broken, I would have crushed his head!"
This is not the first time Gao Guang has encountered racial discrimination. However, in Los Angeles, few people dare to show it clearly, but this is Baghdad, and the people here are mercenaries.
Sanji said helplessly: "I probably know who he is. Besides, I think if you beat the applicant to death during the interview, this... is not good."
Gao Guang sat down. He was very angry, but Mike was even more angry. It was just that he was afraid that he would not be able to defeat the opponent in a fight. It would be really bad to shoot.
Mike clutched his chest and said, "I'm so angry! I'm so angry!"
Gao Guang said fiercely: "Why don't I deserve to be called Mad Dog? What's wrong with this guy? Don't let me see him. I will kill him when I see him!"
"There's a chance."
Sangji picked up the applicant's resume that he had recorded and said: "No. 2 is called Ralph, he is from Thunder Company. He is looking for a new employer. It seems that he does not intend to stay at Thunder Company. Well, it may be that Thunder Company couldn't stand him and finally fired him."
Gao Guang vaguely remembered the name Thunder Company. When he first arrived in Baghdad, the driver who picked him up said that Thunder Company had a conflict with the locals, and it seemed to be a big deal, but Sanji didn't say this when he called just now. Ralph is from Thunder.
"How do you know he is from Thunder Company?"
Of course Gao Guang had to ask this question, because he didn't know how Sangji judged it.
Sanji sighed and said: "His official nickname is Falcon. When he introduced himself on the phone, he also said his name was Falcon, so I didn't expect him to be a stupid bird from Thunder Company. Let me explain briefly, he He concealed his working experience in Thunder Company. After all, he only worked for less than two months, but Thunder Company has been here for several years. There have been incidents before, but never major ones. But after this idiot came , He is like a crazy idiot, his racial discrimination has reached a crazy level, and he has caused a lot of trouble for the Thunder Company. "
"He screwed up Thunder Company, and now he comes to me?"
Gao Guang was stunned, while Sanji nodded and said: "Yes, I am basically sure that Falcon is the Thunder Bird, because there are really not many idiots who can mess up the situation in the first meeting. Sorry, I It seems like a big mistake was made.”
Sanji's face was full of guilt. He reached into his pocket and said in frustration: "I'm really unprofessional in headhunting. I want to refund the money to you."
"No, no need!"
Gao Guang held Sanji's hand, and then he said sincerely: "The first screening is just a phone call. Isn't it normal for this kind of thing to happen? It doesn't matter. Your work is very good. Don't be too hard on yourself." That’s harsh. Besides, you didn’t make any mistakes. You recognized this idiot in time, so we can just wait for No. 3 and No. 4. It’s okay.”
