We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

People strive to go higher, water flows to lower places; it's human nature. But for Miles to have resisted temptation back then, it truly shows a strong will.

In my previous life, if I had encountered a better job offer, I would have jumped ship without hesitation. Perhaps everyone's aspirations are different.

Of course, I also know that if I hadn't intervened, Miles would eventually have been persuaded by Li Ka-shing. It was only a matter of time. As long as he showed enough sincerity, coupled with a stronger company than his former employer and better prospects, even someone like Miles could be brought into the fold.

"Mr. Miles, your conduct is truly admirable. I have a question I'd like to ask. When a company develops to a certain stage, it encounters a talent bottleneck. I wonder how to resolve this predicament in my situation?" Su Cheng humbly inquired.

"Mr. Su, allow me to consider your specific circumstances first," Miles said, not answering immediately.

Su Cheng nodded, waiting for Miles's subsequent answer.

"The talent bottleneck is a problem that every rapidly developing company encounters. I roughly understand the current situation of Mr. Su Cheng's companies. Regarding this, I'll briefly share my views:

1. Have discerning eyes for talent. Talent is the most important capital and foundation for a successful business. You have an old saying in China, 'A thousand-mile horse is common, but a discerning eye is rare.' The same is true for talent. In fact, the world is not lacking in talent; what's lacking is someone with a discerning eye to appreciate it.

2. Attract talent with integrity. Gaining talent leads to prosperity, losing talent leads to ruin. This is the law of survival for a company. Integrity is the key to success in the business world. If a businessman lacks integrity, their business will definitely not last long.

3. Nurture talent carefully. If a company wants to develop, in addition to externally scouting talent, internally cultivating talent is also very important. Moreover, internally cultivated talent often has higher loyalty. However, our traditional talent development model is already outdated, so we must keep up with the trends of the times and create a new talent development model that suits the actual needs of our company. This is very important, and it's what I mean by carefully nurturing talent.

4. Treat talent with benevolence and righteousness. Talent is inexhaustible and endlessly useful. It's only natural that if you treat people well, they will treat you well. Anyone in the world can become your core person. As a boss, treating employees with benevolence and righteousness often brings something more important than money: the respect, loyalty, and gratitude of your employees.

5. Be tolerant of talent. When employing people, entrepreneurs must first have the capacity to embrace all kinds of talent. You have an old saying in China, 'A prime minister's belly can hold a boat,' which means that entrepreneurs must have a broad mind. Only entrepreneurs with the capacity to embrace talent can attract and employ talent; otherwise, talent will leave them. As the ancients said, 'If this place doesn't accept me, there will be a place that does.'

6. Employ talent skillfully. When it comes to using talent, those who know how to use people always start from actual needs, using the talent that is most suitable for the development of the business. As long as someone is talented, they can be useful in the company. Know people and assign them appropriately, placing talent in positions they excel at, not in things they are not good at.

7. Treat talent generously. The famous American success expert Dale Carnegie wrote in his book "How to Win Friends and Influence People": "A person who can understand and treat others kindly in small ways must be a person who is kind to others and will definitely have good interpersonal relationships. This interpersonal relationship is the cornerstone of their success."

Mr. Su, this is my answer to you. As long as you do these things well, your company will have a continuous stream of talent, inexhaustible and endlessly useful, and you will no longer have the worry of a talent shortage."

"Mr. Miles, your 'simple' views are not simple at all. Thank you very much for your advice. I've learned a lot. Just these words alone make my trip to Singapore worthwhile," Su Cheng said with deep emotion.

He had long known that Miles was a talent who was good at using people. But that was just hearsay. Only by meeting him in person and talking with him could he truly feel the other party's talent.

Previously, Su Cheng had only come with the aim of poaching the talent from Cheung Kong Holdings' business empire that he knew from his previous life. But now, he genuinely wants Miles's talent. This kind of talent must be brought over to work for him.

Now, this stage of finding him is already a very suitable time. After a while, he may be poached by Li Chaoren.

Facing such talent, Su Cheng naturally cannot miss it. He decided to show enough sincerity to completely impress him and let him go to Hong Kong to work for him.

"These are just some of my superficial views. If Mr. Su feels they are useful to him, it would be my honor," Miles said with a smile.

"Mr. Miles is too modest. Your so-called 'superficial views' are a valuable asset in the eyes of many people. Mr. Miles is indeed a great talent," Su Cheng said with a laugh.

After speaking, Su Cheng poured another cup of tea for Miles.

The tea provided here is also a very good tea, and the fragrance of the tea fills the entire hall.

"I've just been studying this area for many years and have gained some experience. I can't bear Mr. Su's praise," Miles said, shaking his head.

"Alright, Mr. Miles, I won't be humble with you. Let me be very frank. The reason I personally came from Hong Kong to Singapore to find you is that, with your intelligence, you should have already determined my purpose. That's right, I'm actually here to invite you to work in Hong Kong.

My Tianyuan Investment Company has just acquired a listed company, China Bus, and has become the actual controlling shareholder of this company. But now, China Bus still lacks a helmsman.

The newest novels are on 69shu.com!

So I am here to solemnly invite you to join China Bus and become the president of China Bus. I won't say much about the benefits and treatment, but they will definitely be much better than what you have now. And as for the prospects, I believe that as long as you have enough talent, no one can give you better development opportunities than I can." Now that things have come to this point, Su Cheng wants to bring this great talent under his control as soon as possible.

"As expected." Su Cheng's words confirmed the thoughts in Miles's mind. (End of this chapter)
