(There is another chapter in the evening, thank you to everyone who gave a reward, sincere thanks, not a list of names, knock your chest and punch! You know !!! Ask for a vote ~~~)
Bardstone has been in a tangled mood ever since he received a call from Mark Baum.
Under Wall Street's current broker compensation system, even the brokers most concerned about clients will often face conflicts between their own commissions and client interests. Generally speaking, if a broker wants to get the most generous commissions, he has to sell products that make customers pay the highest fees, as well as products that are not effective.
Bardstone has no way to fool his clients with peace of mind. Even if Wall Street has a lot of lies, he thinks that creating a lot of profits for clients is what his securities broker should do, which makes his investment plan more trendy. Conservative, but customers are not satisfied with his conservative, so frustration is natural.
During this time, his life was very unsatisfactory. Both his career and family pressure have slowly extinguished his **** ambitions. He also considered that his own conscience was the root cause of his frustration on Wall Street.
Until Mark Baum called and told him that a new investment company was looking for the CEO, he recommended himself to the big BOOS of that company, which boosted Bud's spirit, and learned about Andy's situation through understanding. This made him a little tangled again. In his opinion, an unskilled young boss is not a good choice. Look at the net worth reported in the newspaper and look at his various scandals. His girlfriends are famous New York ladies. Ivana, to be honest, it was a little irritating to him, "What a lucky boy!"
With Mark Baum's persuasion, he decided to meet with Andy, maybe there were unexpected gains, maybe.
"Hello Bud, can I call it that way? I'm Andy Smith, my friends call me Andy, and I'm glad to meet you." Andy reached out with a sunny smile and shook hands with Bardstone to greet him .
"Hello, Mr. Smith, it's a pleasure to meet you." Bardstone's thin face showed a restrained smile, with a hint of scrutiny in his eyes. Looking at Andy's handsome face and the glorious Ivana around him, he was really a little jealous.
Andy couldn't help but sigh, seeing that Bardstone's review of himself, it is not enough money to really want to recover talented people, they usually think a lot, such as how the boss, such as the company's prospects, For example, is it in line with their career plans?
An layman, or a rich young man, is looked down on by senior practitioners. Andy has no temper at all. He will do the same if he thinks in other words.
Although Mark Baum smiled and joked with Ivana on one side, his attention has always been with Andy and Bardstone. Seeing the embarrassment between the two, he smiled and said to Andy: "Andy, you I do n’t know, but there are many people who want to know you tonight. I ’ll introduce some people to meet you first. There is still a lot of time tonight. How about you talking later? ”
Andy shrugged with a smile, saying that no problem. Under the guidance of Mark Baum, Ivana took Andy's arm and began to meet some Wall Street elites. To be honest, Bardstone was really a little embarrassed, and his own mentality was a bit imbalanced. This was the first time he met, and he couldn't help sighing.
Looking at Andy's back, he raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it. It seemed to be a decision. He followed quickly and followed the observation behind Andy.
How acute Andy's five senses were, and he noticed that someone behind was gazing at himself, glanced sideways, and saw that it was Bardstone. He smiled slightly, and continued to chat with the passionate Wall Street hungry wolves.
Walking down the circle, I met a lot of people. As for how many people I remember, I knew it, but Andy still received a lot of business cards. However, Ivana was almost like a fish in this kind of occasion, she was skillful and charming, and received almost all men's praise.
Andy was somewhat surprised to find that Bardstone had been silently following him and never left. The discomfort when he just met also disappeared. Andy always believed that talents can have pride, but they ca n’t be proud. They are looking for subordinates. It's not to find an ancestor to return to the company to offer, you can look down on yourself professionally, but you must know who is the boss.
Now that he knows that finding him is the CEO of his new company, he's here to represent his willingness, and he still doesn't know the so-called throwing his face to himself, then how far Andy will let him go.
But it seems that Bardstone may have some shortcomings in some aspects, but he is still very current. The most important thing on Wall Street is talent. Even though Mark Baum highly respects him, Andy decides whether to hire him. That boss.
"Bud, let's find a place to talk?" Andy with a faint smile on his face, his eyes flashing with light, and he walked towards a corner of the banquet hall without talking about Bud's reaction.
Bardstone didn't show the slightest expression on his face, followed silently behind Andy.
Sitting on the sofa in the corner, Andy looked at the taciturn Bardstone with a calm expression and said quickly: "I started an investment company on Wall Street and wanted to find a CEO. Uncle Mark gave me I have recommended you. By understanding, you are a talented Wall Street broker. Although conservative in investment, you are very responsible for your customers. I like responsible people, especially on Wall Street.
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Smith, I would like to ask, is your company's main business want to do venture capital? Securities stocks or funds?" Bardstone was surprised to find that Andy's temperament was no longer that kind of green Although there is no high-spirited man, he can make people feel the confidence he exudes.
Andy groaned slightly, thinking about answering, and heard a familiar voice, "Andy, are you here? Sorry, didn't bother you to talk?"
Turning around, Ivana, who was smiling as a flower, came over holding the wine glass, Andy smiled slightly, signaled that everything was OK, let her sit next to her, and continued to look at the bar that had just stood up to say hello to Ivana and sat back to her place. Germany.
"How do I ... I mainly manage the stocks in my hands. I will conduct some venture capital in the future and help me acquire some projects that I like. More responsibility is to manage my personal assets." Andy didn't want to brag about people. He doesn't need to draw a big cake to attract talents, to be honest.
After listening to Andy's words, Bardstone couldn't help frowning, and he felt a little disappointed. He didn't want to be Andy's financial manager, that was not what he wanted. I wanted to say no, but asked curiously, "I don't know how much Mr. Smith is going to invest?"
With a faint smile on the corner of Andy's mouth, he glanced at Ivana who agreed to listen curiously and quietly, "I now have more than 80 million US dollars of Apple stock in my hand, and I will inject it again. 20 million to the new company. "
