Ever since he received a call from Mark Baum, Badstone has been in a tangle of emotions. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Under Wall Street's current broker compensation system, even the most customer-oriented brokers often face situations where their commissions conflict with their clients' interests. Generally speaking, in order to get the most generous commissions, brokers have 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 though Wall Street has a lot of lies, he thinks that creating a lot of profits for customers is what he, a stockbroker, should do, which also makes his investment plan more conservative, but customers are not satisfied with his conservatism, so frustration is natural.
During this time, his life was very unsatisfactory, whether it was career and family pressure, his enthusiasm and ambition were slowly extinguished, and he also considered that his conscience was the root cause of his frustration on Wall Street.
Until Mark Baum called him and told him that there was a new investment company looking for a CEO, and he recommended himself to the big BOOS of that company, which lifted Bard's spirits, and through understanding, he knew Andy's situation, which made him a little entangled again, in his opinion, a young boss who didn't know how to do it was not a good choice, look at the net worth reported in the newspaper, look at his various scandals, his girlfriends are all famous New York socialite Ivanka, to be honest, this bit stimulated him, "What a lucky boy!"
Under the persuasion of Markbaum, he decided to meet with Andy to talk, maybe there was a real windfall.
"Hello, Bud, can I call that one? I'm Andy Smith, my friends call me Andy, it's nice to meet you. With a sunny smile, Andy reached out and shook Badstone's hand.
"Hello, Mr. Smith, it's a pleasure to meet you. A stern smile appeared on Badstone's thin face, with a hint of scrutiny in his eyes. Looking at Andy's young and handsome face and the radiant Ivanka next to him, he was really a little jealous.
Andy couldn't help but sigh slightly, seeing Badstone's scrutiny of himself, if he wants to recover talented talents, it is really not enough to have more money, they usually think a lot, such as how the boss is, such as the company's prospects, such as whether it is in line with their career plan.
A layman, still a young man who got rich, is looked down upon by senior practitioners, Andy really has no temper at all, empathy, he will be like this.
Although Mark Baum was smiling and laughing with Ivanka on the side, his attention was always on Andy and Badstone, seeing the awkwardness between the two, he smiled and said to Andy: "Andy, you don't know, there are many people who want to get to know you tonight, I'll introduce some people to you first, there's still a lot of time tonight, how about you talk later?"
Andy smiled and shrugged, saying that no problem, and under the guidance of Mark Baum, Ivanka took Andy's arm and began to meet some of the elite of Wall Street. To be honest, Bad Stone was really a little embarrassed, his mentality was a little unbalanced, and he couldn't help but sigh when he met like this for the first time.
Looking at Andy's back, he raised the wine glass in his hand, drank it all, seemed to have made some decision, and quickly followed, following Andy step by step.
Andy's five senses are so keen, he noticed that someone behind him was watching him, glanced sideways, saw that it was Badstone, smiled and nodded, and continued to talk and laugh with the enthusiastic Wall Street hungry wolves.
I walked around and got to know a lot of people, and God knows how many people I remembered, but Andy still received a lot of business cards. On the contrary, Ivanka is simply like a fish in water on this occasion, easy to swim, and charming, and has received praise from almost all men.
Andy was a little surprised to find that Badstone had been silently following behind him and never left, and the unhappiness when they met just now also dissipated, Andy has always thought that talents can be arrogant, but they can't be proud, they are looking for subordinates, not looking for an ancestor to return to the company for support, you can look down on yourself professionally, but you must know who is the boss.
Now that he knows that he is looking for him to be the CEO of his new company, and his coming means that he has this will, he still doesn't know how far to show himself, then Andy will let him go as far as he wants.
But now it seems that Badstone may have some flaws in some aspects, but he is still very knowledgeable, and the most important thing on Wall Street is talent, even if Mark Baum admires him very much, but Andy is the boss who decides whether to hire him.
"Bud, can we find a place to talk?" Andy, with a faint smile on his face and a gleam in his eyes, walked towards a corner of the banquet hall, not paying attention to Bud's reaction.
Badstone didn't have the slightest expression on his face, silently following Andy.
Sitting down on the sofa in the corner, Andy looked at the taciturn Bad Stone, his expression was indifferent, and he said unhurriedly: "I opened an investment company on Wall Street, looking for a CEO, Uncle Mark recommended you to me, through understanding, you are a very talented Wall Street broker, although the investment is conservative, but very responsible for customers, I like responsible people, especially on Wall Street, this is very difficult." ”
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Smith, I would like to ask, is your company's main business a venture capital, a stock, or a fund?" Badstone was surprised to find that Andy's temperament now had lost that youthful impression, although it was not domineering, but it could make people feel the confidence he exuded.
Andy groaned slightly, and was about to answer, when he heard a familiar voice, "Andy, so you are here, sorry, didn't disturb your conversation?"
Turning his head and seeing Ivanka walking over with a wine glass, Andy smiled slightly, signaled that it was okay, let her sit next to him, and continued to look at Bard who had just stood up to greet Ivanka and sat back in place.
"How can I say it... Mainly to manage the stocks in my hands, in the future, I will make some venture capital, help me acquire some projects that I am optimistic about, and more responsibilities are to manage my personal assets. Andy doesn't want to brag and fool people, he doesn't need to draw a big pie to attract talents, to tell the truth.
After listening to Andy's words, Badstone's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and he was a little disappointed in his heart, he didn't want to be Andy's financial manager, that was not what he wanted. I wanted to say no, but I still asked curiously, "I wonder how much money Mr. Smith is going to invest in?"
With a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, Andy glanced at Ivanka, who agreed to listen quietly and curiously, and said lightly: "I now have more than $80 million worth of Apple shares in my hand, and I will inject another 20 million into the new company." ”
