Chapter 315: Bargaining (2)

"Well, George, you're really impressing.

Threatening Citibank with Bank of America, I have to admire you for playing this card very well.

It's just that I need to tell you now that Bank of America is much worse than Citi when it comes to treating friends.

You have a use value now, they will definitely be like God to you, when you don't have any use value and can't bring enough benefits to them, they will kick you away mercilessly, and by the way, they will tear off the last piece of meat on your body to make up for it.

You are a smart person, you should know what will happen if you cooperate with the devil, Citi is your real partner, we will give you the most preferential treatment, and we will also give you the strongest support.

Sandy has said that as long as you can convince the board, he will support you without any strings, and with Citi behind you, you will be more successful than ever. ”

Okar didn't take George's words seriously, he and George both understood that since they had already chosen each other, they would not easily change partners.

Changing partners is something that only happens when there is no way around.

Capitalism is the same as socialism, especially when it comes to doing business, circles are the most important.

Since George's first choice was Citigroup rather than banks or investment institutions such as Morgan and Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, etc., it can be said that those people may have never been put first in his heart.

Even if he was in the front position, he didn't choose them, which can completely show that he has countless concerns in his heart.

"I disagree with you, Mr. Okar, for the Bank of America, though greedy, is not yet greedy enough to turn other people's assets into its own.

As far as I know, Citi was different, two years ago Citi did something that made people dare not speak out, and this matter was widely circulated at the time.

Although this news quickly disappeared without a trace, it seems to me that it is only the power of money and power, and if you hadn't used those forceful measures, I believe that Citi would still be riddled with scandals, I don't know if I'm right.

Let's just open the skylight and say something bright, and I need to be on guard against any bank, investment bank or even private equity cooperation on Wall Street.

Don't be greedy for friends here, only talk about interests.

In such an atmosphere, any caution and any choice is risky. ”

George was noncommittal to Okar's words, and if it were to be counted, Bank of America's previous prudent style had been completely capitalized, which was completely contrary to the purpose for which it was founded.

Since the death of the Italians and the handing over of the bank to professional managers, everything is only based on profits, and the so-called ordinary people and poor people have completely abandoned their former benefactors.

Citigroup and the Bank of America consortium are the same thing, but the Bank of America has done a little too much in many things, and the Citibank consortium is relatively moderate, but in the end, everything has changed, and all the points are to one point, that is, interests. Interest-only core theory.

Don't talk about anything without interests, everything is easy to talk about with interests, the purpose of capitalism is interests, so-called partners, friends, are nothing in front of interests, they can be abandoned and betrayed at any time.

George's words made Okar's face on the other side of the phone turn red all of a sudden, which is very rare for a thick-faced guy to make him lose his temper, and if George sat in front of him, he would definitely laugh at him mercilessly.

A person with a sense of shame can never be considered a real Wall Street person, and the so-called humanity here is nothing more than betrayal and trampling.

"George, if you have any conditions, you can put them forward, as long as we can accept them later, I will definitely convince Sandy to agree to your terms.

We are very sincere and want you to become a partner, no, a strategic partner, this is the highest sincerity we give. ”

As one of the bank managers who eats people without spitting out bones and kills without blood, Okar has no shortage of methods, but in front of George, who is also familiar with the bank's operation plan, many things are well known to both parties.

Facing a difficult opponent, an opponent who cannot be judged by age, he feels that there is no need to go around in circles, and it is the best way to deal with such a person, straight to the point.

He believes that even Sandy will be helpless in the face of this little fox, after all, this guy who is now talking about cooperation with Citi actually has a short position in Citi, and like those funds, he is wantonly shorting Citi, wanting to tear off a piece of meat from Citi's body.

Although in terms of personal feelings, this is a very immoral thing, on the one hand, asking for help, on the other hand, trying to make money on the partner, how can there be such a good thing in the world.

But they don't have a choice, if it were someone else, they could have refused, or even fought back, but George couldn't, they had a more long-term plan.

For the sake of profit, what is it to give up a little bit of small profit in front of them, saying that Citi is not something they can short if they want to, and the performance will tell them that there are some things that they can't do, and once they do it, they need to pay a price.

"I like cheerful people, Okar, I am very happy with your cheerfulness, and I see the possibility of further cooperation.

My friend Jonas's father has always tried to convince me to work with Damo, but I still chose you under all the same conditions, which shows how high my expectations are for you.

Of course, I'm sure you won't let me down, and you're right, Mr. Okar. ”

George didn't deny that he had other ideas, and if he didn't, he could have agreed to the terms that Okar had told him, and then went to Citi to sign the contract.

Since he didn't agree, then no one would believe him if he didn't ask for anything else, and he wouldn't be bored enough to engage in a well-known but unbreakable battle with Okar here.

"George, my friend, you can say what you want, we're friends, aren't we, there's no need to do some pointless foreshadowing, right?"

George's words made Okar feel frightened, he didn't dare to let George continue, if he continued to talk nonsense, then what he sought would be greater, he was just a vice president, and he didn't have the right to do something beyond his rights.

At Citi Sandyville is the real king, and many things must be agreed by him, otherwise they will be invalid or even dismissed.

At the same time, he had a hunch that George's quest was so big that even cooperating with Citi was just a faΓ§ade, and the real goal might be in what he was going to say now.
