Chapter 286: The Guy Who Opened the Hang
The general manager of Wells Fargo came forward in person, and asked the mayor of Detroit to come forward as an intermediary, whether Chen Geng intended to cooperate with Wells Fargo or not, he had to meet with John Tostott, but he definitely couldn't just meet with the other party so rashly.
This is not an ordinary meeting, this is a confrontation, and since it is a confrontation, it is necessary to know oneself and the other, and among the people you know, who is most likely to know John Tostedt?
Of course, it was Rosemary, and as the former deputy general manager of the United Community Bank, Chen Geng felt that Rosemary could not be ignorant of the top elite in the industry.
Rosemary was really familiar with John Tostedt, and when he heard the name, he frowned subconsciously: "John Tosted......t? It's amazing, well, tricky. ”
"Hmmm......"
Chen Geng nodded and motioned for Rosemary to continue.
To be able to become the general manager of Wells Fargo, one of the five largest banks in the United States, John Tostett's ability is of course undoubted, and it is natural that he is very powerful, otherwise why would he get an annual salary of nearly $600,000? You know, this is $600,000 in 1979!
"I'll tell you about John Tostedt's resume, and you'll know how good this guy is," Rosemary said, "John Tostedt was admitted to Columbia University at the age of 16 and got four degrees in just two years......"
Columbia University is also a well-established school in the United States, ranking among the top ten universities in the United States all year round, John Tostaid was admitted to Columbia University at the age of 16 and got four degrees in two years.
Chen Geng nodded: "It's really powerful." ”
"But that's not the most powerful, John Tostedt's life after graduating from college is simply open," Rosemary learned from her boss, after knowing that the meaning of hanging is the existence of a bug, she is used to using "hanging" to describe a powerful and excessive guy: "After graduating from college, he was extremely rare to be retained by Columbia University, as a teaching assistant while assisting his mentor in teaching economics to undergraduate students, while continuing to study for a master's degree. After graduating with a master's degree, Tostedt became a lecturer in economics at Columbia University, where he became the youngest associate professor of economics for the next three years. ”
"Lying ...... Groove ......"
Even if he saw a lot of talented geniuses, Chen Geng was shocked by John Tostett's way of hanging up: This thing is not just a god of learning, this is a super god of learning at all, okay.
But you think that's the end of it?
No, it's still early, Rosemary continued: "After three years as an associate professor of economics at Columbia, John Tostedt was hired by Indiana University to teach finance, and the following year became one of the few associate professors at Indiana University who could teach both economics and finance......
“......”
The corners of Chen Geng's mouth twitched.
At the age of 29, John Tostedt became a professor of economics and associate professor of finance at Indiana University, and at the age of 32, he gave up his college education job to go to Morgan Stanley, where he worked for more than a decade and served as president of Morgan Stanley Corporate Securities.
After that, he resigned from Morgan Stanley and set up a hedge fund, because of the good performance of this hedge fund, the hedge fund founded by John Tostedt was favored by Citibank, and after selling the hedge fund to Citibank, John Tostedt also successfully entered Citibank.
In his fourth year at Citibank, eight years ago, he became the head of Citibank's investment banking business, and as you should know, in 1975, John Tostedt officially became the CEO of Citibank. ”
“...... Doesn't look like an easy guy to deal with. After a while, Chen Geng said to Rosemary with a wry smile.
"It's really not easy to deal with. Rosemary agrees with her boss.
How can such a guy be easy to deal with?
........................
No matter how good it is, we still have to see each other after all.
The place of meeting was in a famous French restaurant in Detroit, but it was different from what Chen Geng thought, in Chen Geng's mind, such a guy who was born on the first life should be "everyone else in the world except me is stupid X" and no one in his eyes, but when he saw John Tostett, Chen Geng immediately raised the danger index of this guy by several levels: this guy was not only full of arrogance and no one in his eyes, on the contrary, when he saw Chen Geng, he was full of warm smiles.
Although it is a polite smile, it does not make you feel offended, and it feels like a good colleague with whom you usually have a good relationship.
He's a dangerous person!
Chen Geng's mind instantly raised John Tostedt's danger level by several levels.
Chen Geng didn't know that when he was repeatedly cautious about John Tosted, in fact, John Tostedt was also repeatedly revising his opinion of Chen Geng.
Just like for this meeting, Chen Geng inquired about John Tostedt's resume, personal information, and personality traits in many ways, in order to win Chen Geng and his Fernandez company, John Tostedt had also done a lot of homework before, but after meeting Chen Geng, the general manager of Wells Fargo Bank found that he still seemed to underestimate the young Asian kid in front of him......
How many people can face the general manager of Wells Fargo, one of the five largest banks in the United States, with a calm face and not nervous at all?
To date, not a single billionaire with a personal fortune of less than $10 million has been met by John Tostether.
But this young over-the-top brat in front of him can.
And John Tostett is very sure that Chen Geng's calmness is not the kind that pretends to be and is actually nervous to death, but in his heart he really thinks how great he is as the general manager of Wells Fargo, and then ...... How great Wells Fargo is.
John Tostedt never doubts his judgment, many people know that John Tostedt has four degrees and is a professor of economics and finance, but few people know that he still has a master's degree in psychology, that is, relying on his rich knowledge in psychology, in previous negotiations, he can accurately grasp the subtle psychological reactions of the negotiation opponent and accurately make the most appropriate judgment.
But looking at Chen Geng in front of him, John Tostet smiled in his heart: Interesting!
"Mr. Fernandez," John Tostedt spoke, and after a few pleasantries, he went straight to the point: " I believe that you have done some homework on Wells Fargo for this meeting, so I will say something straightforward, you can have these amazing wealth at this age, it must be because you have a vision beyond the vast majority of people, then I firmly believe that your cooperation with United Community Bank, the wealth obtained directly from United Community Bank should not be what you value the most, but the financial convenience that you bring to your company through this deep, strategic level of cooperation, right?
Wells Fargo can give you all of these!
And the more you can give, the more you have!
As long as you can!
If you are concerned about the length of the cooperation agreement with United Community Bank, you can rest assured that Wells Fargo will handle it properly and without any trouble, and I firmly believe that our cooperation is a win-win situation. ”
Saying this, John Tostedt waved his hand vigorously: "Mr. Fernandez, I believe that the United Community Bank has spared no effort in supporting you, and that the support of the United Community Bank for your company to become what it is today is just as important in addition to your personal admiration and admiration for your talent......
Suddenly, Chen Geng was not given too much time to think, only in this way could he easily observe the most real reaction of this Mr. Fernandez.
From beginning to end, John Tostedt did not say a bad word about the United Community Bank, not even hinted, he just repeatedly expressed his understanding of the role played by the United Community Bank in the development process of Fernandez Company, and only told Chen Geng that when Fernandez Company developed to its current scale and volume, United Community Bank's support for him was already very limited, and the best way for Fernandez Company to further develop was to cooperate with Wells Fargo, Mellon Bank is a giant bank.
John Tostedt's directness did surprise Chen Geng a little, but John Tostedt's plan was used in the wrong place and in the wrong person.
If Chen Geng is really just a young man in his twenties, under such a temptation by John Tostedt, no matter how calm his psychology is, he will inevitably reveal a little bit of his true thoughts, but Chen Geng is different!
Don't forget, Chen is a third-generation old ghost, and once managed a huge enterprise group of more than 100,000 people, upstream and downstream related to millions of people, for Chen Geng, John Tostott's temptation is like ice under the sun, it is impossible to cause a little wave in his heart.
He bowed slightly to John Tostedt, and even a little grateful: "Mr. Tostett, thank you very much for your affirmation of me and my company, and I believe that Wells Fargo can provide me with more support than United Community Bank, but you know, there are many things involved, and I need to think carefully before making a decision." ”
"Of course, I can completely understand your feelings, you should think carefully about this kind of thing before making a decision...... Then I'll wait for your news. John Tostett smiled confidently: this is what a normal young man should look like.
