Chapter 839: Trouble
On February 15, the Phoenix Building was once again crowded.
On the first day of work, the company seemed very busy from top to bottom. The upper level held various meetings to summarize some work situations during the holidays and draw a framework for the planning of the new year. Ordinary employees were also busy organizing offices and dormitories, accepting documents, and re-adjusting their holiday mentality.
This situation lasted for several days, and Meng Huo could not survive. Although there were still new companies and works waiting, his first time must be to hold mobilization and various meetings to bring all the work on Manga Island back on track.
Chen Jie also returned to the office. Shiraki Shinkawa Shi, Kazuko Takashima and others came back one after another. Their condition was the top priority. In order to avoid them making mistakes on the stage, the office was checking the impact of the holiday on them and also carried out some restorative training.
I was busy until the 18th that each department stabilized and the general strategic framework was formulated. What was left was plans between different departments. These plans took a long time to be released and would also determine Phoenix's development goals for this year.
Of course, it is not to say that all plans are like this. Many departments have already made some plans before the holiday, especially recruitment plans. At the beginning of the New Year, Manga Island conducted large-scale recruitment - Manga Island became lively again.
In fact, the school in Suhua University Town has not yet started, but before Phoenix Company started working, countless college students who were facing graduation came to the school and prepared to participate in the Phoenix Company job fair. The job fair started on the 15th and by the 18th, the first round of screening had been completed, and more than 400 college students entered the second round.
When the Personnel Department reported the situation to Meng Huo, Meng Huo seemed surprised: "There are so many!"
Unlike last year. Manga Island currently recruits not many college students, with only 30 in total. Meng Huo considers that he will expand his enrollment based on the company's situation before the summer vacation, so the number given during this period is very conservative and very high-demand.
The first round of screening was a hard screening. Meng Huo greatly improved the requirements. People who did not perform very well in the school could not pass it. He thought that it would be great to pass 200 students, but unexpectedly, 400 passed the review.
"All the outstanding students in the university town ran to our company?" Meng Huo felt a little happy, but also had a headache.
"After all, our company is famous!" The Minister of Human Resources laughed slightly, and when it comes to the attraction to graduates from Suhua University Town, if Phoenix Company talks about first place, few people dare to say second place.
Phoenix Company has several natural advantages in the university town. One is that its geographical location is very close and is surrounded by places familiar to college students. There is no stranger when working at Manga Island. The other is that it has many predecessors. Now more than 50% of the employees on Manga Island come from the university town, and they are golden signs recognized by graduates.
Of course, what is more important is that Phoenix Company itself is also very good in its treatment, not inferior to other large companies, and its development potential is also very good, and it is very likely to dominate an industry - let alone students, some teachers in university towns are thinking about changing jobs.
Whether it is college students or teachers in the university town, they are actually very smart people. These smart people can see the development of Phoenix Company. Naturally, they will also include it as an important choice for employment. It is precisely because of this that outstanding students in the university town are very enthusiastic about applying for jobs.
This is a good thing. But it is also very tricky. More than 400 outstanding talents finally selected 30. If they are not done well, this enthusiasm will fade away.
"Do we want to expand our enrollment?" asked the Minister of Human Resources: "It doesn't matter if you recruit 30 more interns."
Meng Huo thought about it and nodded: "Then let's recruit more people. Isn't Zhou Qian very interested in people there? You can increase her quota..."
In the recruitment of Phoenix Company, the first round is the unified screening and recruitment of the Human Resources Department according to the requirements of each department, and the second and third rounds are interview screening between various departments. However, the quota of departments was set before the leave, and some changes can be made now.
Meng Huo also regrets that Phoenix Company actually needs a lot of employees, but what they are short of is not these college students who have to do ordinary jobs, but painters and other professionals.
What Phoenix Company lacks the most this year is artists. Whether it is a new company jointly established with Zhongxia or an animation film company established separately by Phoenix Company, they all need a large number of painters, but the recruitment in this area is quite unsuccessful.
This recruitment started before the holiday, but so far, the number of applicants received by Manga Island is less than 60. When these 60 people were checked, most of them were lucky, but the level was not up to standard, and the number of admissions was only 18.
The number of painters required by the entire company is calculated in "hundreds", which is a huge vacancy. Ninghai's recruitment situation is also very pessimistic, because Zhongxia Company is also recruiting painters. After the two compete, Ninghai has only recruited 23 people.
Unexpectedly, the situation in Tokyo was the best, because of Phoenix's strong position there, the painters recruited by Sakura Company actually exceeded Su Hua and Ning Hai's total, reaching 55.
But despite this, the combined number of three regions, plus the simplification of each department of Phoenix Company, is only to meet the requirements of a new company. If the holes in another company cannot be filled, one of the two key tasks of Phoenix Company must be abandoned.
This is something that Meng Huo cannot accept: how can animated movies be abandoned? Establishing a new animation film company can train an animation director for him and share his future work pressure. Assuming that Ning Hai and Tokyo each have a top animation director in charge, Meng is so easy to get!
Phoenix Company and Zhongxia Company jointly built an animation company that adapted text adventure games, and of course it is impossible to give up. Zhongxia Company is also recruiting, and even if Meng Huo wants to stop, they will definitely not agree.
Therefore, Meng Huo can only do one thing: try every means to recruit more artists. If this thing cannot be done, there is another stupid way - to acquire other small animation companies and directly avoid recruiting.
Alice has taken the lead in this matter and has now found a suitable company. But this company has two major problems. One is that there is no unified opinion within the country, and there are many voices in opposing the acquisition. The other is that its location is not in Suhua, nor in Ninghai and Tokyo, but in Yanjing, the capital of China.
If this company is acquired, Phoenix will have an additional work location, which is a problem for Meng Huo, who is unable to separate. (To be continued)
