Double the happiness indeed had more allure for Yang Hao.
Considering it was quite late, he simply decided to spend the night at Meng Chacha’s.
And Meng Chacha was very sensible, promptly summoning her doppelgänger over. Read the latest on M-V-L
The next day.
Yang Hao woke up between the two and, after doing some morning exercises, left with style.
His main task for the day was to complete NPC Wang Xueru’s weekly task “Father-in-law’s Birthday Banquet.”
Actually, a double cashback reward wasn’t that appealing to Yang Hao anymore; the main attraction was the Skill Card the task would reward.
Skill Cards were really powerful, and the skills in Yang Hao’s possession were quite useful. For instance, “Insightful Eyes” seemed tailor-made for a slacker CEO like him.
“Fiery Eyes” allowed him to discern which were the reliable ones!
Then, “Shadowless Finger” not only served as self-defense, but it also brought the NPCs a different kind of joy during poker games, even though it made his fingertips wrinkly and swollen after use.
But this didn’t stop it from being an excellent skill!
Besides these skills, there were also tool-type skills like Sign Language, fluent Russian, and such.
In short, it’s always good to have many skills.
Yang Hao even thought he could snatch Fat Peng’s job and write a book entitled “The Wealthy Life Starts with Multiple Talents and Riches”!
After leaving Lanjiang Bay, Yang Hao headed straight to Tianmei Media.
He met with the company’s executives one by one. Of course, the interviews were secondary; his main goal was to investigate these people’s backgrounds.
He kept those with strong business capabilities and ‘optimized’ those whose skills were lacking, those who had climbed up the ranks through connections.
[Lin Shaoping, business capability A-grade, loyalty B-grade]
[Dai Baoming, business capability A-grade, loyalty B-grade]
[Hong Jingwen, business capability A-grade, loyalty A-grade]
[…]
After talking to about a dozen executives, Yang Hao discovered three with A-grade business capabilities, and including Feng Chong from yesterday, that totaled four.
And there was only one with “double A” grade—Hong Jingwen.
Of course, there was also Liu Cui, who had “triple A”!
From this investigation, Yang Hao concluded that business capability did relate to an executive position, but it wasn’t a definite correlation. It was normal for subordinates to be more competent than their leaders.
So indeed, “Bolers are rare, though good horses are not!”
Another discovery was that the loyalty grades of the employees rarely reached A; most were B, C, or even D.
This was probably the general state of employment!
After a busy morning at Tianmei, Yang Hao then drafted an optimization list.
“Director Hong, everyone on this list should be optimized, with the least expense possible,”
Yang Hao handed the optimization list to Hong Jingwen, the Chief HR Officer of Tianmei Media.
The system rated her as “double A,” a talent who could be put to good use.
“OK!”
Hong Jingwen took the list and left. Back in her own office, she seriously examined the list her new boss had given her.
At first, she treated it as a “death list,” pondering how to carry out the optimization task.
But after looking at a few names, her expression turned solemn.
Because these people were the “worms” of the company—either related to someone important or having flattered their way up—all lacking much in business ability.
Mr. Yang knew the ins and outs of the company like the back of his hand!
It seemed there were insiders for Mr. Yang in the company, perhaps not just one!
The new boss had accurately identified those who were incompetent, showing that he had done his homework. This was not an overnight undertaking.
So, there was nothing sudden about this acquisition!
Everything was a long time in the making!
The boss is a true sage!
Hong Jingwen couldn’t help but silently admire in her heart.
Meanwhile.
Yang Hao visited a Mercedes-Benz 4S shop.
He had learned from Wang Xueru that her father had a liking for cars, possibly related to the old gentleman’s profession; he was a senior mechanical engineer at Jiangcheng Shipbuilding Group.
Of course, this was just Yang Hao’s speculation; after all, the love of cars doesn’t really need a reason!
Yang Hao didn’t know which brand of car the old gentleman preferred, but giving a man a Mercedes G-Class was definitely a safe bet.
So, in the morning, Yang Hao had Liu Zifeng refer him to a Mercedes salesperson, and now he was here to pay and pick up the car.
He purchased the Mercedes G63 55th Anniversary Edition.
The official price was 2.81 million, but you couldn’t get the car for the sticker price; there was an 800,000 markup.
Adding the purchase tax and various other expenses, the on-the-road price was over 4 million!
But Yang Hao boldly picked up two, one for Wang Xueru’s father and another to fill his own garage.
While the G-Class wasn’t as enjoyable to drive as the U8, a rich man’s garage should have one regardless. Plus, with the task’s double cashback reward, it was like scoring a free G-Class—quite a sweet deal.
Yang Hao chose the cars in two different colors, one black and one green.
The black one was dignified and grand, and the green one was lively and bold!
“Yuanyuan, I heard you had a customer buy two G63s in one go?”
In the showroom, Zhou Xiaoqiu, dressed in her work uniform, asked enviously.
“Yeah, it was a client introduced by Brother Feng,”
Guo Yuanyuan was in a particularly good mood today. Just as she had been worrying about meeting her sales target for the month, her former boss Liu Zifeng had introduced her to a client that morning.
She had thought he was just an ordinary client, but he went ahead and bought two G63s without even looking at the cars or negotiating the price, just made the down payment right away.
“Anyone who can buy two G63s at once must be a mega-rich,”
“Yuanyuan, you’ve got a rare opportunity here, don’t waste such a great figure,” Zhou Xiaoqiu winked and teased.
