After listening to the three people’s self-introductions, Lin Haoran formed a preliminary impression of them.

He leaned back in his chair, his eyes wandering over the three people, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly spoke: “Next, I want to give you a scenario question to test you.

Suppose I need an urgent analysis report on the trend of the Japanese retail market in the next six months, and it is required to be completed before 10 o’clock tomorrow morning. As my secretary, how will you coordinate resources and arrange work to ensure that the task is completed on time? “

Kinoshita Yuzuki frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, “Mr. Lin, I will first ask within the company if there are any colleagues who are familiar with the Japanese retail market to see if they can provide some basic data and opinions.

At the same time, I will contact some industry research institutions to try to obtain the latest market reports. Then, I will make a detailed schedule and reasonably allocate time for collecting information, organizing analysis, and writing reports to ensure that the task is completed before the deadline. “

Shimada Satomi laughed and said, “Mr. Lin, I will first use my connections to find some influential people in the retail industry to see if I can get some inside information from them.

Then, I will find a professional writer to help write the report, and I will supervise and ensure the quality of the report. As for the time arrangement, I believe that with my coordination ability, I will be able to complete it on time. “

Yamada Keiko took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and continued in fluent Hong Kong dialect: “Mr. Lin, I will first set up a temporary working group within the company and select colleagues who have researched the retail market to join.

I will clearly define everyone’s division of labor, for example, someone will be responsible for collecting industry data, someone will be responsible for analyzing market trends, and someone will be responsible for writing different parts of the report.

At the same time, I will get in touch with external professional research institutions to obtain more comprehensive market information. Throughout the process, I will set detailed time nodes, regularly check progress, and solve problems in a timely manner to ensure that the report is completed on time and with high quality. “

After listening to the answers of the three people, Lin Haoran had a clearer judgment in his mind.

Kinoshita Yuzuki’s answer was relatively conventional, Shimada Satomi relied too much on her connections and others, and although Yamada Keiko had no work experience, her answer showed strong organizational and coordination skills, teamwork awareness, and ideas for dealing with problems.

When Shimada Satomi was introducing herself, Lin Haoran had already secretly eliminated her.

Kinoshita Yuzuki is indeed a very standard professional secretary, and from a conventional perspective, she is the most appropriate choice.

After all, she has rich experience in administrative work and must be able to handle all kinds of affairs with ease.

However, the secretary Lin Haoran needed was not a standard professional assistant who followed the rules.

He is not a business manager in the traditional sense and does not have to be bogged down in tedious daily management affairs.

Although Keiko Yamada has no work experience, the fact that she can speak Cantonese is a plus for her.

And from her answers, Lin Haoran could clearly feel that this girl, who had not yet graduated, although seemed a little nervous during the interview, was actually very talented.

She was clear and organized when facing problems, and the solutions she proposed were both comprehensive and feasible, which made Lin Haoran see her unlimited potential.

Besides, the workload of being his secretary would not actually be very heavy. After all, he was used to being a hands-off boss and he rarely participated in the management of the company.

The most important thing about being his secretary is that she serves as an interpreter and helps him handle various matters in his life.

“Please leave your resumes here. Through the communication just now, I have a preliminary understanding of you. In order not to waste your time, I will arrange for someone to call you tonight to inform you of the interview results. You just go back and wait for news.” Lin Haoran glanced at them and said this.

The three of them nodded, placed their resumes neatly on the table, then stood up, bowed to Lin Haoran to express their gratitude, and left the office one by one.

Lin Haoran looked at their departing backs and had already made a decision in his heart.

Looking at the introductions on the table, Lin Haoran flipped to the one at the bottom.

Open the introduction, and you will see a more detailed introduction of Keiko Yamada.

23 years old, sweet-looking, can speak Hong Kong dialect, and is decisive in handling work.

It fits his recruitment requirements perfectly.

As for the girl named Kinoshita Yuzuki, she was also very outstanding, but Lin Haoran felt that she was not suitable to be Lin Haoran’s secretary, but was more suitable to be Huo Jianning’s secretary.

Thinking of this, Lin Haoran took Kinoshita Yuzuki’s resume, stood up and walked out of the office, and went to the office next door.

Huo Jianning had returned from outside at some point and was now handling matters at his desk.

Seeing Lin Haoran coming in, Huo Jianning put down the work in his hands and greeted the boss.

“Jianning, you can’t work like this. You need to find someone to share the burden with you. Take a look at this girl.” Lin Haoran smiled and handed Huo Jianning the profile of Kinoshita Yuzuki.

People like Ma Shimin, Burton, Chen Shoulin and others all had their own secretaries or assistants.

Now, as the head of the Japanese branch of the Hong Kong Land Development, Ho Kin Ning really needs to find a secretary to share some of the work with him.

Hearing Lin Haoran’s words, Huo Jianning subconsciously took the resume and asked curiously, “Boss, weren’t you going to find a secretary for you? Why did you find a secretary for me?”

“I already have a suitable candidate. I think this lady is a rare talent and I don’t want to waste her. You will be responsible for more and more work in the future, so it’s time to find an assistant for yourself.

This lady named Kinoshita Yuzuki, after my interview, I think she is very suitable to be your assistant. Of course, you can interview her again. If she is not suitable, you can find another one. “Lin Haoran said with a smile.

Huo Jianning rubbed his forehead. Indeed, he has been getting busier and busier recently. However, he has never been the top leader before and likes to do everything himself.

Ma Shimin, who was far away in Hong Kong, actually suggested to him that he should hire an assistant to assist him in his work.

But he didn’t have the courage to mention this matter to Lin Haoran.

He also knew that doing so would be too tiring, but he was too inexperienced and worried that finding an assistant would give his boss a bad impression of him.

Unexpectedly, the boss took the initiative to help him find an assistant.

This immediately moved him deeply.

“Jianning, you are no longer a middle-level manager, but the head of the Japanese branch of the Swire Group. The responsibility is heavy. You must learn to delegate power and hand over some trivial matters to the right people to handle. This way you can free up more energy to plan the company’s development plans.” Lin Haoran said earnestly.

Huo Jianning nodded heavily: “Boss, I understand. I will arrange a time to interview Miss Kinoshita Yuzuki again.”

“That’s right. By the way, among the three people I interviewed today, except for Miss Yuzuki, I feel quite satisfied with the other one, Yamada Keiko. You can ask the headhunting company to call the three people back tonight. Except for Miss Shimada Satomi who is not suitable, ask the other two to come for a second interview tomorrow morning. You can also see if Miss Kinoshita Yuzuki is suitable to be your assistant!” Lin Haoran continued.

“Okay, boss. I’ll call the person in charge of the headhunting company later!” Lin Haoran nodded.

“Then you continue with your work, I won’t disturb you anymore.” Looking at the pile of documents on Huo Jianning’s desk, Lin Haoran smiled.

“Boss, go slow!”

Lin Haoran came out of Huo Jianning’s office. The whole office was busy and he was the most idle person.

In the past few days, the company has more and more staff, no longer just the dozens of people at the beginning.

Looking around the office, there are at least three hundred ordinary employees alone.

Many of these were hired in recent days.

However, these personnel are far from enough.

Back in the office, when Lin Haoran was about to look through the resume of the girl who tried to seduce him with her beauty, the phone on the desk suddenly rang.

He picked up the receiver and immediately heard Toshifumi Suzuki’s voice on the other end of the line.

“Is it Mr. Lin Haoran?”

“I’m Lin Haoran. Mr. Suzuki called me at this time. You must have some good news to tell me, right?” Lin Haoran said with a hearty smile.

“That’s right, Mr. Lin, I have convinced Mr. Ito. He hopes to talk to you again in private to clarify the details.” Suzuki Toshifumi replied.

“Okay, in that case, then you can ask Mr. Ito to come to my office at 2 o’clock tomorrow afternoon. Bring his legal advisor and we will discuss everything. By the way, you can come with him then!” Lin Haoran said with great satisfaction.

He originally thought that Mr. Ito would hesitate for a long time before making a decision.

However, unexpectedly, after only three or four hours, Suzuki Toshifumi successfully convinced him.

This is a good thing, it saves him a lot of trouble.

He was also worried that Mr. Ito would be unusually stubborn, and that he would have to expend unnecessary energy dealing with him.

“Okay, Mr. Lin, I will come to see you on time with Mr. Ito!” Suzuki Toshifumi said solemnly.

“Okay, see you tomorrow, bye!”

“Goodbye.”

After hanging up the phone, Lin Haoran couldn’t help but smile.

The matter of 711 convenience stores has finally been settled.

For him, acquiring the 711-Eleven convenience store brand was truly a pleasant surprise.

Originally, he had never thought about acquiring Southern Company.

Now it seems that this has become a good thing.

Not only did he acquire the famous convenience store brand from his previous life, but he also gained an extremely large sales channel, allowing him to enter the fast-moving consumer goods industry with confidence.

With Toshifumi Suzuki, the key figure in pushing 711-Eleven to the throne of global convenience stores, he is more confident about the future development of 711-Eleven. (End of this chapter)
