Chapter 204: Mao Sui recommended himself
Rolls-Royce drove straight into the underground parking lot of the Zurich headquarters building, and Jonas entered the elevator on crutches and leaned against it. "I'll go to the second floor, and you give Wolf what I wrote first. Tell him I'll talk to him later. ”
Mikiros nodded, glanced at the recovery doctor, and said, "Dr. Kroum, you go with Mr. Kaeya Young to the fourth floor, where there is a reception room, where you can listen to music and drink coffee." “
Kaia Young was still cynical, and said to the serious doctor, "Jonas is going to add a few more gym machines in the break room, you can help us plan it." ”
The corners of Dr. Croum's mouth turned up, and he nodded, "It's my job." ”
When the second floor arrived, Jonas stepped out of the elevator first.
The second floor is now all Seaman investment site, and guests have to go up from another elevator or staircase on the other side of the building, which is an internal elevator.
Jonas didn't alarm too many people when he came out, and when someone saw Jonas, they just nodded slightly.
Jonas walked on crutches to an office not far from the elevator, which belonged to the administration department, and the staff at the door of the office were all women.
In front of a desk near the doorway sat a woman in her thirties, who was also the administrative manager of Seaman Investments.
"Hello Jonas, how's your injury going?"
"It's much better. Sophia, is President Ursula here?"
"Yes, you can go straight in. Coffee or tea?"
"No need, I'll talk to President Ursula for a while and leave. ”
Sophia knocked twice on the office door for Jonas and helped him open it. "Thank you. ”
The entrance was a small reception room, the door of the inner room was open, and Ursula saw Jonas following Sophia in the door, and greeted her. "Jonas, why did you come here today?"
Jonas removed a paper bag from the top of the cane. "Grandma's vegetable bread baked in the morning, I brought a few for Aunt Ursula. ”
Ursula hugged Jonas and kissed him twice on the cheek before laughing, "It's hard for you to think about me, come and sit down, how is the leg injury?"
A few loaves of bread are nothing, and none of them care about a few loaves of bread. But Jonas brought her bread from home, and the feelings were different.
Seeing Jonas's embarrassed appearance in front of Ursula, Sophia couldn't help but laugh and walked out.
Jonas was seated at her desk, and couldn't help but look up at her when he saw that there was a lot of information about auto parts manufacturers on the desk.
Ursula smiled: "I know that you have recently been interested in the development of the auto parts industry, so I also read some information on this. ”
Jonas asked, "It's an industry where everybody can't help but get involved. ”
Ursula shook his head and said, "I'm not looking at it for Seaman's investment, I'm looking at it for myself." ”
"Aunt Ursula also wants to invest?"
She shook her head and said, "Jonas, I'm a woman, I'm fifty years old this year, and I don't want to stay in this intriguing environment forever. ”
"Does Aunt Ursula want to retire?"
"Of course not. She smiled and asked, "Would you like to hear me tell you a story?"
Jonas immediately straightened up. "Of course. ”
She bowed her head and muttered for a moment before asking, "You should know the story of General Franco, right?"
Franco, the Spanish poisoner, is considered a brilliant military man, but he is an enigmatic political figure.
In the thirties, a military mutiny came to power, and he ruled Spain for thirty-seven years.
At first, when everyone thought that he was of the same mind as Germany, he was in a state of affairs with Germany, which not only prevented the German soldiers from stepping into Spain, but also miraculously kept Spain out of the flames of World War II, and even became a channel for Jews to flee for a time.
He ruthlessly suppressed both the left wing and the far-right royalists who demanded the return of the exiled king.
He had declared that he respected Spanish tradition and would restore the monarchy in due course.
In the end, it was believed that he cared most about his own power, and he maintained a poisonous rule in Spain for nearly 40 years.
However, surprisingly, he did not sit on the throne himself.
In Europe, people have very mixed feelings about him, and even the Spaniards don't know what to say about him.
However, people all think that he is a good leader.
After his death in '75, Juan Carlos returned to the throne. His childhood best friend, the Marquis de Santo Domingo, Ursula's husband, became a councillor.
In Ursula's story, she tells the story of a descendant of a broken marquis, and a puppet-like crown prince, who has been through ups and downs for decades.
Ursula was originally a descendant of an aristocracy, but the Spanish aristocracy was in ruins, and the Spanish royal family was also the poorest among the European royal families.
Because Spain did not have a king before World War II, it was not until 75 that the king regained the throne.
In order to come to power, he promised not to increase the burden on the country, and only a small amount of annuity every year.
Ursula began working in the sixties to earn money to support her family, sometimes subsidizing the king.
became Richie's secretary, not only because of the high salary, but also because Richie was a friend of Franco and was more sympathetic to the king.
However, she is a woman, who has been working hard in this semi-black and white environment for twenty years, and she is already a little tired of it.
For her to retire now, she feels that it is too early.
Jonas asked, "Aunt Ursula is looking for a change of work environment?"
She nodded and said: "If you really have the heart to establish an auto parts alliance with the support of Hoffman Investment Bank, I personally think that I should be able to take on this management role." ”
Jonas was overjoyed and couldn't believe his ears. "Aunt Ursula really willing!"
She nodded and said, "With the support of interest groups, Hoffman Investment Bank can easily control a coalition with assets of more than half a billion dollars." Acting as a manager in this alliance will be a difficult peak for countless people to climb. ”
"But now Seaman's investment has exceeded 10 billion assets?"
Ursula smiled and asked, "Then why did you start a new one?"
Although Ursula did not say it explicitly, the meaning was already obvious.
Seaman Investment is a fund management group of interest groups, and the personnel disputes in this area are complex. Jonas had separated the shell of Hoffman Investment Bank from Seaman Investment in order to save worry.
Although Ursula has no problems with management and has enough prestige, she is a woman.
At a time when the family is now stable, I really don't want to bother to deal with those black and white bosses anymore.
Moreover, the royalists in Spain have also gained the upper hand, the throne has been stabilized, and she can step down.
However, she is not willing to retire now. It took twenty years for her to become a respected big man, and now she can't stand it when she is brought back to the family as a housewife.
What's more, her children are already older, and her passion with her husband has also faded, and there seems to be no place in the family that she wants.
At this time, Jonas was still restless when he invested in Dongying and Austria. We want to integrate the auto parts industry and find an industrial investment that can provide long-term stable returns and expand the influence of Hoffman Investment Bank.
As a business elite, she easily sees the potential in this industry.
And Hoffman's investment bank needs to control so many companies in different countries, and it also needs an excellent manager.
She thinks she can do it.
On the surface, it seems that her power is much less, but she knows that from a liaison to a manager, she is actually rising.
Moreover, she is very optimistic about Jonas, believing that with Jonas's current foundation, the future development can be expected.
She also wanted to bring the two families closer together.
Jonas looked at Ursula's expression carefully and said, "If Uncle Mark doesn't mind, of course I want Aunt Ursula to come and help me." ”
Ursula smiled: "Then you can come on, I hope that this time next year, I can be your subordinate." ”
Back on the third floor, Jonas noticed that his company's workspace was deserted, while Deloitte's workspace was overcrowded.
Deloitte is a financial services firm, or accounting firm, with a history of more than 100 years.
Their organizational structure is that all branches are independent, and only one company, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited, is responsible for providing guarantees.
The limited company does not undertake any business, only responsible for guarantees, and the following branches provide auditing, corporate management consulting, financial consulting, risk management and tax services for enterprises.
The reason why Deloitte Switzerland rented the area on the third floor was actually for Seaman investment, in fact, in Zurich, they have another office space, but it is a little more crowded.
After moving in, they also successfully became the service provider of Seaman Investment, a financial investment company with assets of tens of billions.
Jonas's Hoffman investment bank, by contrast, gave them much less business.
However, Hoffman Investment Bank, which has more than 2 billion funds, is also a big customer.
"Jonas, I've read your proposal and the acquisition targets you've picked out, it's going to be a daunting task. ”
Jonas glanced at Wolfe, who had a sad face, and asked with a smile, "What if Aunt Ursula helps?"
He paused for a moment, looking at Jonas' smiling face. "What do you mean?"
Jonas smiled: "Aunt Ursula has made it clear that she is willing to take charge of the integration of the auto parts industry, and now we are just waiting for us to draw the funds and make a move at the most opportune time." ”
"That's just wonderful, Madame Santo Domingue is one of the most manageable women I've ever met, not one of them. Wolf handed Jonas a stack of materials and said, "Take a look, this is the rough framework of the auto parts alliance that I made. ”
