Chapter 62: What kind of extraordinary figures did they choose!
The USB drive contained hundreds of resumes.
All these people came for his newly established top-level department.
"My goodness, there are quite a lot." Su Hao clicked his tongue and began browsing.
Su Hao originally planned to directly select a few capable people from those recommended by the Director.
But strangely enough, apart from one of them which gave him a vague "feeling" for something else.
The rest of the people were like clay oxen sinking into the sea, unable to stir the slightest ripple in his heart.
There was no other way, so he simply had the Personnel Department post the job advertisement to recruit talents, hoping to find a few suitable "soulmates" from among them.
I glanced through them and found that each resume was more impressive than the last.
Those who graduated from Ivy League schools or have Wall Street work experience are considered returnees.
Industry elites who hold a bunch of highly difficult professional certifications such as CFA and FRM;
It's a place teeming with talent and a gathering of brilliant minds.
Each one of them is a remarkable individual capable of standing on their own, someone that ordinary people can only look up to.
However...
Su Hao stroked his chin, quickly flipping through the pages, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
There was still no "ding!" that would make his eyes light up and his heart skip a beat.
The faces of elites and their impressive resumes flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern.
Could it be that I opened it incorrectly?
Or did my "intuition" fail me?
With so many brilliant and outstanding individuals in front of me, I can't find a single one who catches my eye?
This doesn't make sense!
Just as he was becoming dizzy from the sight and almost questioning the meaning of life—
"ah!"
Among the crowd, finally a name appeared, along with a seemingly ordinary resume!
But it struck him like a bolt of lightning!
That long-lost, mysterious "feeling" has finally arrived!
"That's him! Mark him for later."
Su Hao perked up and quickly saved the resume, putting it into a newly created folder.
Then they continued repeating the same tedious work of browsing and filtering.
Like a diligent fisherman, he selects only those "fish" from the vast ocean of resumes that catch his eye and stir his heart, and sorts out their information separately.
The second, the third...
"Phew, my eyes are almost blind." Su Hao rubbed his sore temples.
Staring at the computer screen and filtering resumes is a much more mentally taxing task than I imagined.
But he dared not be careless or negligent in the slightest.
This is no joke!
These are the close comrades-in-arms who will challenge those epic "financial dungeons" together in the future and conquer those once unattainable "seas of stars"!
Each one must be carefully selected and capable of great use!
We cannot be careless, absolutely not!

"Manager, can we finish reviewing this today? The sheer volume is overwhelming..."
Seeing Su Hao rubbing his temples, Li Huilin asked with some concern.
"It's probably unlikely. With so many applicants, if we have to look at each one carefully, think it over carefully, and compare them repeatedly, it will probably take three to five days to make a decision..." Liang Haiyuan echoed.
" Liang Haiyuan," Su Hao suddenly spoke.
Liang Haiyuan was startled and quickly stood up: "Yes, Manager, what are your orders!"
"These are the names of the people I've shortlisted. Please organize them and send them to the Personnel Department to inform them to prepare for the transfer and onboarding process."
Su Hao handed over the USB drive.
"Oh? Okay, sure! I'll get right on it!"
Liang Haiyuan was stunned for a moment. Although he was filled with surprise and doubt, he quickly took the USB drive.
"You've worked hard. I'm going out for some fresh air; I'm a little dizzy." Su Hao rubbed his temples, got up, and walked outside.
"Okay, manager, take care."
After Su Hao's figure disappeared through the door, Liang Haiyuan and the others in the office looked at each other in disbelief, as if a huge question mark was hanging over their heads.
"This...this is all done? No interviews needed, and I'm hired right away?"
"Those are hundreds of resumes! So fast? Like ordering takeout!"
"Never mind all that for now, let's quickly see what kind of amazing people the manager has picked!"
"Yes, yes, let's take a look! Let's satisfy my curiosity!"
Several heads crowded around the computer and opened the folder named "The Chosen One".
They were all convinced that Su Hao's sharp eye and high-ranking position in the new department were the key factors.
The selected individuals are undoubtedly the elite of the elite, the best of the best!
Their resumes are so impressive they're dazzling; each one is a top-tier expert, a true dragon among men!
However... when they saw the resumes of the people on the list, everyone was dumbfounded, their jaws dropped!
"Hmm? These people... their resumes... aren't they a bit... unremarkable?!"
"Am I seeing things? This doesn't seem to be the 'All-Star lineup' I imagined?"
The reality differed quite a bit from the script we had envisioned.
To everyone's surprise, the people Su Hao selected had resumes that were all very simple and even somewhat shabby!
The "resume" mentioned here refers not only to educational background, but more importantly to performance in the original team, that is, earning ability.
"Holy crap, these guys' returns are actually negative?"
"Hey, I know this person! He used to be known in our department as an honest and hardworking person, like an ox, but... his performance was always at the bottom and he wasn't very bright."
One of the team members pointed to one of the names and said.
"Really? Also, I know this guy. He's a very reliable person, with impeccable character. He's hardworking and never complains."
But how to put it... he's too honest, lacking a bit of wolfishness, or rather, not proactive enough; he's the kind of person who only moves when you push him.
There are two types of talent: proactive and passive.
For traders, especially top-tier ones, proactive individuals are undoubtedly more sought after, like wolves who actively seek out their prey.
Whether it's developing a team's investment strategy or executing that strategy, traders need to think and judge independently and be flexible in order to seize fleeting opportunities.
Passive people tend to do whatever their superiors tell them to do, sticking to the rules and never stepping out of line.
Diligent and conscientious.
But don't expect them to have any groundbreaking ideas or turn the tide at crucial moments.
Therefore, in the private equity industry, where a cutthroat culture prevails, proactive individuals are more likely to make big money.
Because they are ambitious and have desires, they will think, take risks, strive, and fight for higher returns.
Of course, the downside of this type of person is:
Sometimes, being overly confident in one's own judgment, or even arrogant, can lead to impulsive and headstrong actions that exceed one's capabilities, resulting in irreparable losses.
"Looking around, it seems there isn't a single person here who can be considered a top-tier individual."
"Yes, that's strange. It's a top-tier department, the company's most prestigious department, the face of Fang Huan Investment!"
Why is Manager Su choosing people in such unconventional ways?
Liang Haiyuan muttered to himself as he repeatedly flipped through those "ordinary" resumes.
Suddenly, as if he had just realized something, he slapped his thigh hard:
"I see...!"
