Chapter 207: Stepping Stone
"Forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, Mr. Zheng Fan, do you know anything about my family?" The blonde girl Ji'er couldn't help but ask when she saw Zheng Fan get up.
"If we talk about the Stillman family, we have to go back to the predecessor of Citibank, the First National Bank of New York, although the Stillman family is one of the founders of the First National Bank of New York, but now, the shares of Citibank are not much, and the outside world says that Citibank is controlled by the Stillman and Rockefeller families." Zheng Fan responded with a smile.
"Does Mr. Zheng Fan really think so?"
The blonde girl was not surprised, she was more interested in the oriental man in front of her.
"Because of the mutual penetration between Western consortia and families, your Stillman family and Rockefeller family's control of Citibank has long been diluted, and now it is more dependent on the family's reputation and influence in the Citigroup consortium." Although Zheng Fan said this, his expression was not arrogant, but showed a faint admiration.
"Counting up, my communication with Mr. Zheng Fan has not lasted more than ten minutes, and it is a little too fast to hire me as the president of Tatfook Bank?" The blonde girl teased with a smile.
"Not to mention the management and business philosophy of Citibank, just your identity is more than enough to serve as the president of Tafook Bank, and with you in Tatfook Bank, I am equivalent to having a stepping stone to enter the U.S. capital market." The statement given by Zheng Fan gives people a very straightforward feeling.
"Mr. Zheng Fan's visit to me didn't seem to be very surprised." The blonde girl Ji'er looked at Zheng Fandao.
"You are the first person to be found after the operation of international gold in Tatfook Bank, and you have explained your ability to collect information, as well as enough sensitivity, in fact, I made up my mind early on that if someone can find it, I will invite it to join Tatfook Bank depending on the situation, but I didn't expect it to be someone from the Stillman family." Zheng Fan just smiled briefly.
"Can I exercise the power of the president of Tatfook Bank now?" Ji'er did not believe that the operation of international gold by Tatfook Bank was deliberately exposed.
"In the future, you can call me boss, and, compared to the power you value, I think it is more appropriate to use the word responsibility, the current Dafu Bank is in chaos, everything depends on you, I hope you can let me see a gratifying change in a week." Zheng Fan nodded and was about to go outside.
"I have to say that your requirements are a bit harsh, bank governance and operation is a gradual process, and even if I sit in the position of president of the bank, I need the support of you as the boss." The blonde girl's expression calmed down.
"As long as you sit in this office, I believe that the executives who are interested in staying in the bank, no one dares to ignore your decision, the main job of the bank at the moment is to adjust the personnel, and the Lincoln car downstairs is also yours, if you feel it is necessary, you can call a meeting of all the executives yourself." Zheng Fan said with a playful smile.
"You haven't given an explanation for my treatment."
The blonde girl, Ji'er, faintly feels a kind of pressure, and the power balance that other executives may create.
"As for your treatment, it is tentatively set at an annual salary of 10 million US dollars, and I can't take out more for the time being, you know, the legal minister with the highest annual salary in the company is only 5 million Hong Kong dollars a year, as a small privatized bank, this annual salary is the highest in the industry, if you can't meet your current ambitions, you can only find other places as soon as possible, so as not to mislead others and yourself." Zheng Fan had no intention of bargaining.
"It's really atmospheric, but rest assured, boss, the role I can bring to Tafook Bank is by no means more than 10 million dollars can be measured." The blonde girl had to admit that the black-haired man in front of her was very bold.
"The chairman's nameplate, but it was just changed yesterday, the chair has not waited for it to be hot, you have to find another place, a spacious and bright office, a comfortable and quiet rest room, and now it's all yours!" Zheng Fan shook his head and sighed.
"Miss, is your decision too hasty?"
It wasn't until Zheng Fan left the office that the brown-haired woman standing aside reminded her.
"This Oriental is very interesting, since I was given the position of president of Tatfook Bank, it is better to try and observe it here, even if I am the president of Citibank Hong Kong Branch, it will not be better than here for the time being, don't you think it is very interesting to go another way and appear in front of those people in the family and the consortium?" The blonde girl said with a little excitement.
"Those two people?"
Chen Min, who was waiting outside, couldn't help but ask when he saw Zheng Fan coming out.
"From today onwards, that blonde girl is the president of Tafook Bank, you can tell her anything." Zheng Fan waved his hand, signaling that Chen Min didn't need to follow him anymore.
"Did you decide on the president so quickly?"
Through the contact with Zheng Fan in the past few days, Chen Min has no doubt about his work ability, but he didn't expect the appointment of the bank's president to come so quickly.
Because of the relationship between the self-operated department and the ninth floor, Zheng Fan, who lost his office, didn't go far to enter it.
"Boss ......"
Unlike when he just took over Dafu Bank, there is obviously some popularity in the self-operated department now, and when he saw Zheng Fan coming, everyone's voices were uneven.
"Are you still there?"
For the stalker Wang Lin, Zheng Fan was somewhat helpless.
"I'll leave tomorrow."
Wang Lin responded angrily, not like perfunctory.
"There's a problem with domestic soybean futures, right? I advise you to learn from Qin Yan, don't live so tired, wouldn't it be better to have time for friends to get together. In front of everyone, Zheng Fan didn't hide anything.
"You seem to have been reading the information yesterday, is it more important than running international gold for such a small bank?" Wang Lin asked incomprehensibly.
"Have you ever heard of the saying that if you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach thousands of miles, and if you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become rivers and seas? Although Taifu Bank is small, its importance is unmatched. Zheng Fan obviously regards the current privatized banks as the most important card in his hand.
"I can't wait for the night, and it looks like you'll be busy during the day." Wang Lin looked at the three newcomers from the self-management department and complained about Zheng Fan.
"Go back to China and live well, even if you stay here, nothing will come of it." Zheng Fan looked resolute without understanding the amorous style.
"No wonder Qin Yan, the financial director, is gone, and he is so determined to leave, it is a mistake to have expectations for a guy like you." Wang Lin took a deep breath and said.
"Did Chang Lao go to the Stock Exchange?"
Zheng Fan snorted and asked Luo Hong, a thick-lipped woman.
"Yesterday is over."
Luo Hong couldn't help but feel some emotion about Chang Xufa as the representative of Dafu Bank.
As a veteran trader, Chang Xufa's trading ability is not outstanding, with the rapid popularization of electronic trading, replacing the ancient trading methods in the past, even if there is no representative of the market, there will be no mistakes in trading, in Luo Hong's view, if it is not for Zheng Fan to reuse Chang Lao, he can only do chores in the company.
"Not only the Stock Exchange, but also in the New York Stock Exchange and the world's important commodity exchanges in the future, we still need experienced market representatives, even if electronic trading is developed, in the big financial battle, it cannot replace the importance of market representatives." Zheng Fan's statement made the three newly hired people in the self-management department look more or less strange.
"It is estimated that Chang Lao dreams every day that he is confronting the enemy and engaging in hand-to-hand combat on the Stock Exchange, if there is such a moment, as an old trader, it may be the most glorious time in his financial life!" When Luo Hong said that, her eyes couldn't help but be a little red, faintly full of excitement.
"If there is such a day, I will definitely take all the main members of the self-operated department to the stock exchange to fight a vigorous battle." Zheng Fan said with a heartfelt smile.
"Do you have a plan for today?"
Seeing that it was about to be the time for the Hang Seng Index to open, Luo Hong asked expectantly.
"The plan can't keep up with the changes, let's see the situation first."
Zheng Fan walked to the small round table and sat down, calmly took a puff of his cigar, and looked at the three new traders.
"Boss, these are the three new traders recruited by the company, and they came yesterday, because you didn't go to the proprietary department, so ......" Luo Hong, a thick-lipped woman, was not sure how to tell Zheng Fan.
"I've read your resumes in detail, but in order to get everyone familiar with each other, please introduce yourself." Zheng Fan sat with a big thorn, and he didn't mean to get up.
Regarding Zheng Fan's arrogance, the three new traders, although they had already learned it on the day of the application, still couldn't help but secretly slander them at this time.
The two men and one woman who approached Zheng Fan had different looks and temperaments.
Two of the men, one of whom was a Western man, was about forty years old, dressed in a black suit, and looked very serious.
The other man looked like a Hong Kong native, in his mid-344s, and his expressionless eyes seemed to be difficult to get along with.
The rest of the women are also foreigners, and although they are wearing professional suits, their clothes and appearance are slightly ordinary, and if there is any characteristic, it is that their eyes hide fortitude.
"There were a lot of applicants before, although there were only three of you left in the end, but it was not bad, whether it is now or in the future, those who can enter this battlefield can only be the elite of the elite, if you are somewhat confident in yourself, I believe you should be able to understand what I mean." Zheng Fan spoke fluent English to the three new traders who came to the front.
If he didn't know Zheng Fan's background, Luo Hong wouldn't even treat him as a mainlander.
"Harry 61 Maxwell, from the United States, graduated from Stanford, previously worked at Lehman Investment Management, where he managed a $500 million fund with a total return of 50% in three years, and I came to Tafook Bank to take on the position of manager of the proprietary department." The white man in a suit first expressed his attitude towards Zheng Fan.
(The first one was sent, thanks to the two red envelopes of Lao Huo.) )
