Rebirth at the Start: This Fate is Too Explosive!

Chapter 274 Interviewing Two Traders

He got up, quickly washed up, and then drove away from Jiangnan Jiuxu, heading towards the Hongdou Group's independent building in the core area of ​​Hexi CBD.

This six-story modern standalone building was purchased decisively by Ye Fan before he came to Jinling to study.

It is not only the headquarters of the Hodo Group, and the office of its subsidiary, Context Technology, is managed by Lu Qinghe, but more importantly, it houses a key part of Ye Fan's financial empire—Hodo Capital.

Now, as the group's president, Liu Ruyan sits at the top, overseeing the entire operation. Aside from strategic issues, everyone can directly contact her. Chen Lichuan, the veteran investor on whom high hopes are placed, is responsible for managing Hongdou Capital, helping Ye Fan expand his territory in the broader capital market.

Ye Fan took the elevator directly to the fourth floor.

The entire floor is Hongdou Capital's exclusive office area, spacious and bright, filled with the efficiency and calm atmosphere unique to the financial industry.

Near the floor-to-ceiling windows, a separate space enclosed by a glass partition was set up, equipped with top-of-the-line trading equipment and a multi-screen system—this was the "war room" Ye Fan had reserved for his soon-to-be-established exclusive stock trading team.

At this moment, in the common rest area outside the office, five young men in suits but looking somewhat uneasy sat upright.

Seeing Ye Fan approaching accompanied by Miao Zi, the group stood up, their eyes filled with awe and anticipation.

They are the five candidate traders selected by Chen Lichuan.

Ye Fan glanced at the five people and nodded in greeting: "Hello everyone, please wait a moment."

He then led Miao Zi into the office next door, which contained only a large desk, a few chairs, and an abstract line drawing hanging on the wall.

"Miao Zi, arrange for them to come in one by one, according to the order of their resumes."

"Okay, boss." Miao Zi replied and went out.

Ye Fan opened the five resumes that he had prepared beforehand.

A prestigious university background, a finance or related major, and at least two years of live trading experience... these are the hard requirements.

But Ye Fan's focus was on the experiences on the resume that couldn't be easily fabricated, the specific scale of funds managed, even the results of simulated trading competitions, the projects participated in, the nature of the business of the previous companies, and the real reasons for leaving the company.

One can beautify one's words, but it's difficult to create a flawless timeline and logical chain of events in one's resume.

He had already decided that after the initial screening, Miao Zi must undergo a thorough background check and criminal record verification through a professional third-party agency.

People who handle tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan in their accounts must have an absolutely clean and reliable background and family history, with no room for sludge. Otherwise, they might get caught doing something underhanded.

Soon, the first interviewee knocked on the door and came in.

The interview lasted for nearly an hour.

Ye Fan's question wasn't tricky, but it got straight to the point:

Why did you leave your previous company?

What is the real motivation for changing jobs?

How do you view your biggest loss or profit in your past trading?

What are your thoughts on a recent hot sector or stock that has experienced unusual price movements?

Like a seasoned hunter, he could easily distinguish between sincere statements and carefully crafted lies by observing the other person's wording, demeanor, logical coherence, and the values ​​revealed in their answers.

Some people leave a job for seemingly noble reasons, such as "seeking a larger platform for development," but when asked about their specific expectations or evaluation of their former company, these reasons become full of holes; others are evasive when talking about their losses, clearly failing to truly learn from their mistakes.

These petty tricks are nowhere to be seen in front of Ye Fan, a reborn individual with experience in the business world from his previous life.

Ultimately, he narrowed it down to two candidates: Shen Jun and Yang Bin.

They answer questions logically, discuss trading strategies clearly, and admit mistakes sincerely. More importantly, their eyes reveal a keen intuition for risk and opportunity honed through years of experience in the market.

However, Ye Fan will still have Miao Zi investigate the backgrounds of these two people later.

The interview ended, and the five people left the interview room.

"Miao Zi," Ye Fan instructed the four secretaries who followed him in, "Have Shen Jun and Yang Bin stay. As for the other three, thank them for their time. According to company standards, each of them will receive a transportation allowance of 200 yuan, paid by the group's administration department. Be polite and thank them for their interest in Hongdou Capital."

Even if a deal falls through, goodwill should remain. Regardless of the outcome, we must avoid creating resentment and maintain a positive corporate image with Hongdou. We want everyone who interacts with Hongdou to feel our professionalism and respect.

What he wants is for every employee of Hongdou in the future, even a cleaning lady, to be able to walk out and feel proud of their identity.

"Understood, boss." Miao Zi accepted the order and left.

A short while later, Miao Zi returned to the office with Shen Jun and Yang Bin, whose faces were filled with barely concealed excitement.

Ye Fan looked at them with a gentle but serious smile: "The fact that you two have been kept here shows that your initial performance meets our requirements."

He shifted his tone slightly, his gaze sharpening: "However, don't get too excited yet. Red Bean Capital, especially the soon-to-be-established trading team, will be handling core funds, which carries significant responsibility. Therefore, the salaries and bonuses we offer are extremely competitive in the industry, as you've likely considered during your application process."

Shen Jun and Yang Bin exchanged a glance, nodded vigorously, their eyes filled with anticipation.

"High rewards mean high requirements and rigorous selection." Ye Fan leaned forward slightly. "Before officially joining, you will need to pass a practical skills assessment. This will determine whether you ultimately get this job opportunity."

Shen Jun immediately straightened his back, his tone sincere and confident: "President Ye, don't worry! We used to work at the same small private equity firm, and our professional abilities are absolutely top-notch. This time, I left purely because the company was poorly managed and couldn't pay salaries for several months. We simply couldn't hold on any longer and had to find another way out."

He pointed to Yang Bin beside him: "We only have this one job in our careers, from researcher to trader, we have an emotional attachment to the company, if it weren't for really having no other choice..."

Yang Bin nodded vigorously and added, "Yes, Mr. Ye, we are confident in our professional abilities. We came here this time because we want to find a place where we can develop stably and where our profession is respected."

Looking into their sincere eyes, which were also tinged with the pressures of life, Ye Fan understood.

This is exactly what he values: a relatively simple resume, an easily verifiable background, and a reasonable reason for leaving the company, without complicated interpersonal disputes or moral stains.

People like this are relatively reliable to use.

But words are no proof, so Ye Fan decided to have them demonstrate on the spot.
