Chapter 176： Gavin Peter

The next morning, Xia Yu's car stopped at the entrance of the cafe where He Youguang had been. Xia Yu got out of the car, looked at the sign, bowed her head and tidied his clothes, smiled slightly, and walked to the road.

Xia Yu made an appointment with the top talent and interviewed in this cafe.

"Hello, sir, what would you like to drink?"

As soon as he came to the counter, the waiter asked enthusiastically.

"I'll order it later, please open a box for me first, I'll wait for someone."

Xia Yu said with a slight smile.

"Okay, sir, please come with me!"

The waiter said enthusiastically, and then took Xia Yu to a box.

"Give me a cup of Blue Mountain coffee, and, if a foreigner named Gavin Peter comes, please bring him here."

After speaking, Xia Yu took the tip and stuffed it to the waiter.

Seeing the ten Hong Kong dollar tip given by Xia Yu, the smile on the waiter's face became more enthusiastic, and quickly nodded in response: "Okay, rest assured, sir!"

Xia Yu gave a light hum, and the waiter slowly withdrew from the box with interest.

After a while, the waiter came in again with a cup of coffee and placed it in front of Xia Yu.

"Sir, please take your time!"

"Thank you!" Xia Yu thanked with a smile.

...

Just as Xia Yu was waiting leisurely while drinking coffee, a taxi stopped outside the cafe and came down to a middle-aged white man in vigor.

Looking up at the sign, the middle-aged white man smiled slightly and said to himself: "memory, this should be the cafe."

Then, the middle-aged white man sorted out his suit and found that there was no problem, he carried his black leather bag, and walked towards the cafe with his head high.

"Hello, I'm looking for someone!" As soon as the middle-aged white man entered, he smiled and said.

"Excuse me, are you?" The waiter saw that the speaker was a foreigner, and guessed that it was Xia Yu, but he asked cautiously.

"My name is Gavin Peter." Gavin Peter replied.

"Please come with me, that gentleman is already waiting for you, he has just arrived ten minutes."

The waiter said and led Gavin Peter to Xia Yu's box.

Soon, he came to the outside of the box. Gavin Peter looked at Yan Shining who was standing upright at the door of the box. He knew that he was Xia Yu's bodyguard. Gavin Peter smiled at Yan Shining and showed his goodwill.

"Hello, this is Mr. Gavin Peter, who is waiting for the gentleman inside."

The waiter explained to Yan Shining.

Yan Shining nodded, took a deep look at Gavin Peter again, and said, "Wait a minute."

"Thank you!" Gavin Peter said thankfully.

"Buckle..."

"Boss, Mr. Gavin Peter, who you are waiting for, has arrived."

Yan Shining knocked on the door and shouted inside.

"Come in!"

As Xia Yu's voice came from inside, Yan Shining opened the door and gave Gavin Peter a please gesture.

As the door opened, Gavin Peter saw Xia Yu who had just stood up at a glance.

Even though he had known about Xia Yu before coming and knew that he was very young, he still couldn't help being surprised when he saw Xia Yu's face.

However, Gavin Peter is also a person who has seen the world. Many big family heirs in the UK have entered the family business at a very young age to familiarize themselves with the situation. It is just that Xia Yu is the master of the company directly in comparison with those of the big family who are simply experienced. power.

"Hello, Mr. Xia, this is Gavin Peter, I'm sorry to keep you waiting!"

Gavin Peter stepped forward quickly, reached out and held Xia Yu's hand together, and said apologetically.

"Hello, Mr. Peter, I just arrived, please sit down!"

Xia Yu said, letting go, and invited Gavin Peter to sit opposite.

"If you want to drink, please order it yourself." Xia Yu said with a smile, and the waiter quickly handed over the exquisite list.

"Give me a latte, thank you!"

It didn't take long for the waiter to bring up the coffee, and then retired wittily.

"Mr. Peter, I have seen your resume. The experience is very rich. I also recognize your abilities. I just take the liberty to ask, why are you willing to come to my office as the deputy manager of the Xiangjiang branch of the Penguin Publishing Group? A new company with nothing?"

After the greeting, when Gavin Peter had taken a few sips of coffee and was ready, Xia Yu looked straight and started to ask questions.

Seeing the coming of the formal interview, Gavin Peter lifted his spirits. He was already prepared and immediately said: "In my original position, I have been working for six years, and my boss is a more assertive person."

Speaking of this, he stretched out his hands helplessly. Xia Yu knew what he meant. The boss was a very stubborn person. He didn't listen to his opinion. The term'independent' was just a euphemism, and he did six things. In 2009, I was still in this position, and there was no hope of promotion.

Uncomfortable work and no way to get a promotion. For a middle-aged man who is now only forty years old and is in his prime, it must be unbearable.

"I think my ability is enough, but there is not a wide enough space to give full play to my talents, so here I am!"

Hearing this, Xia Yu nodded lightly, preferring to be a chicken head rather than a phoenix tail. He stayed in a company where he could not see the opportunity to make a big difference.

After asking this point, Xia Yu had a clear heart, and he continued to ask.

"If you were the general manager of the company, how would you make the company develop at a high speed? I want to hear your management ideas."

After listening to Xia Yu's second question, Gavin Peter knew that the highlight was coming. He pondered for a moment, nodded slightly at Xia Yu, smiled confidently, and began his explanation.

"I have known your company. So far, apart from newspapers and magazines, only the novel "Xun Qin Ji" has been published, except for newspapers and magazines, but the sales volume is very hot. In the Chinese popular novels, it has been regarded as a standstill. In addition, there is another advantage, that is, the distribution channels are all over Southeast Asia."

"But the book publishing industry also belongs to the media industry. After so many years of development, it has divided into many branches, such as popular fiction, social sciences, business non-fiction, high-end popular fiction with high cultural content, high-end literature, and politician books. , Children’s books, etc."

"Your Jiuding Book Publishing Company is a newly established company. Everything needs to be built from scratch. If you want rapid development, the best way is acquisitions and mergers and acquisitions! Let other companies take all the achievements accumulated over the past few decades. Help your company grow."

"If I were to manage the company, my core management concept would be acquisition, supplementing the company’s shortcomings, turning the enemy into my own, and letting its subsidiaries dig deep into their respective small branch industries and specialize in a market, so that they can compete in fierce competition. Rushed out of the market."

"These are my management concepts, thank you!"

After Gavin Peter finished speaking, he said politely, then looked at Xia Yu with a smile, waiting for Xia Yu's opinion.
