Forty minutes later, Tang Bao's car arrived downstairs at East West Bank.

East West Bank's headquarters is not far from Phoenix Investments, just two blocks away. The contact between the two companies is also very convenient and frequent.

It didn't take two minutes to get off the bus.

Tang Bao met two Phoenix Investment Group employees under the East West Bank building. At first, the two ordinary employees didn't recognize Tang Bao directly, but the other party was a shrewd person and had never seen Tang Bao, but they were very familiar with Kate and knew Kate's identity as a personal assistant.

Tang Bao also smiled and nodded in response, without raising the chairman's posture at all.

Seeing Tang Bao nodding and smiling at them amicably, the two employees couldn't help but be excited, but they didn't dare to bother, and turned around to say goodbye directly.

What are you talking about excitedly as you walk......

"Boss, you are really too mysterious for these ordinary employees. Especially those young employees who have just joined the company admire you, but it is difficult to see you! It is said that some employees ask if you will participate in an internal event organized by the company. Kate explained with a smile.

"Speaking of which, I haven't participated in the company's group activities until now...... Tang Bao sighed, "I can't help it, there are really too many busy things." ”

Busy?

Kate just laughed and didn't echo it. Whether Tang Bao is busy or not in normal times, she is naturally clear as a personal assistant.

Walk inside the building.

Tang Bao and Kate were the first to enter the elevator, and Ray and Natalia followed.

And then.

Kate stretched out her hand and pressed the floor selection button, and then skillfully introduced, "There are five floors from the 12th to the 16th floor, all of which are the offices of East West Bank. Below are the headquarters of several large fund companies, well, and an indoor gym......"

"Huh? How do you know? Tang Bao said in surprise.

"A lot of things at East West Bank are through me, but not everything can be explained on the phone. I've been here a few times too. Kate explained with a smile.

Oh.

Tang Bao nodded in realization. He also knows that he can usually be so relaxed, because he has a personal assistant who takes on a lot of his work.

"Since you're so familiar with East West Bank, what do you think?" Tang Bao asked casually. The new headquarters of East West Bank, he is here for the first time, and it is difficult to get to know anything.

Belch.

Kate couldn't help but be stunned, as if she didn't expect Tang Bao to ask her such a question. What do you think of East West Bank? It's hard for her to tell. And her statement may also directly affect Tang Bao's opinion of East West Bank. Therefore, he did not rashly give an evaluation!

"Ding!"

A crisp voice broke the silence.

The elevator stopped on the twelfth floor, and the moment the elevators opened, Kate hurriedly said, "Boss." When I arrived, the president of Winnieburg and other major executives were working on this floor. ”

"Hmm."

Kate wanted to divert the topic, but Tang Bao didn't force it, since they all arrived at the headquarters of East West Bank, what it was like, you can see it at a glance.

Coming out of the elevator, Tang Bao walked directly inside.

"I'm sorry, may I ask this gentleman, who do you want to look for......" The service staff at the front desk saw Tang Bao rushing in. Hurriedly stood up and asked, obviously, she didn't recognize Tang Bao's identity.

Then.

Kate also hurriedly followed, hurriedly reminded. "The chairman has come to inspect East West Bank, and he should not hurry up to inform the president of Winnieburg."

Dong ...... Chairman? He, he's Tang, the boss ......" The front desk was stunned. only to react. Everyone knows that East West Bank belongs to Tang Bao, but the staff of East West Bank rarely see Tang Bao. Especially after the headquarters of East West Bank moved to New York, I have never seen it.

The front desk was stunned for a moment. Tang Bao had already walked to the office area of East West Bank.

Spacious and with gorgeous office area.

Some of the staff chatted quietly, sometimes laughing comfortably. Occasionally, I can still meet a figure shuttling around, and I don't know if it's a play or a work need.

Looking at the office, it is difficult to find a few people who sit comfortably and work.

Tang Bao had been standing in the office area for two or three minutes, but these office workers would rather bow their heads and chat, and no one came over to ask him if he needed help. Just by looking at this indifferent attitude, you can hardly expect these employees to be a group of people who are serious and responsible for their work.

Scold.

Looking at the lively scene in front of him, Tang Baohe chuckled, but his face became colder and colder. It seems like it could erupt at any moment.

See here.

Kate knew it was going to be bad, and she was secretly anxious, didn't she let the front desk inform her, why didn't Winnieberg show up yet.

Then.

After a slight sound, I saw a middle-aged man with a slightly fat figure rushing all the way over, perhaps because he had not exercised for a long time, he walked rapidly, his breathing became short, and he also saw sweat on his forehead. This person is none other than the vice president of East West Bank. Poulter.

"Boss!"

Poulter rushed in front of Tang Bao and hurriedly asked.

With Poulter's sudden appearance, the originally noisy office area suddenly became quiet, and the employees also sat up straight and pretended to do things seriously. Some of the staff with sharp ears suddenly felt a little uneasy when they heard Poulter call Tang Bao "boss".

"Boss, I'll take you to the office first." Poulter also realized that it was inappropriate to stand in the public office area, and hurriedly led Tang Bao to the chairman's office. Although Tang Bao did not come to East West Bank's new headquarters, he retained the chairman's office from the beginning.

"Hmm."

Despite the dissatisfaction in his heart, Tang Bao still smiled and nodded. Originally, he wanted to ask directly what was going on in the messy office area, but he put up with it. Poulter is an old man from East West Bank, and breaking out in front of so much support will make the other party lose face. Besides, Poulter is only a vice president in charge of administration and logistics, with little authority, and he can't interfere in many things.

The chairman's office, spacious and luxurious, is also very clean. Obviously, even if Tang Bao didn't use it, he didn't keep it clean all the time.

"Where's Winnieberg?" Tang Bao asked. He, the boss, has been at the headquarters for so long, and there is no reason why Winnieburg should not show up.

"Uh, boss. The president went to Mexico two days ago! Poulter replied.

"Going to Mexico?" Tang Bao was puzzled.

"Well, yes. The Mexican government is pushing for a constitutional amendment. Proceed with the privatization of banks. This was a rare opportunity, and the president took someone to inspect it. Poulter explained. By acquiring Mexican banks outright, East West Bank could tap into the huge Mexican market. ”

"Oh? Mexico has privatized banks? Tang Bao was surprised.

"Not so soon, but the Mexican government is considering amending the constitution to clear the legal hurdles for the privatization of banks. In the past, the president only contacted the Mexican government in advance to gain a head start. As for the direct acquisition of bank assets in Mexico, it is certainly not so fast! ”

"Hmm."

Tang Bao nodded. However, Viniburg's vision of snatching the cake of Mexico's private economy so quickly is undoubtedly vicious.

Then.

Tang Bao's face turned pale, and he asked, "What happened in the office area just now?" Is this what East West Bank usually does? What about the other vice presidents, doesn't anyone care? "Vieniburg's trip abroad is not a reason for confusion within the company.

"Uh. Honestly, boss. I was the only one left behind in the headquarters, and the other vice presidents were also busy keeping their feet on the ground. You also know that the banking sector is sluggish, and many loans are difficult to recover. We also have several key customers at East West Bank who are in trouble, and Vice President Allen personally led a team to negotiate with these customers. In addition to coming back to meetings every week, Vice President Cardwell is generally based at the MEC Community Bank in California. Vice President Finora has been following up on the integration of East West Bank...... "Poulter said.

Well.

Hearing Poulter say this, the headquarters of East West Bank became empty. The main high-level officials are busy outside, and Poulter, the only one who stays behind, is the executive vice president in charge of logistics and other work, so there is little deterrent effect on them. No wonder the staff slack off.

"Boss. Don't worry, I will take it seriously if the staff is lazy during working hours. Poulter assured.

on this.

Tang Bao was also too lazy to care.

It was Poulter's mention of the integration of East West Bank that caught his attention: "It's been more than a year since the acquisition of East West Bank. Isn't it fully integrated? ”

"Ugh. It's basically more or less integrated, but there's a lot of detail to do. In addition, there are some areas where there are still quite a few problems. First, the corporate culture of each bank that was originally merged is different, and the employees are also in the run-in period. Occasionally, conflicts erupt. In addition, many of the problematic assets acquired by East West Bank are gradually being exposed. Poulter said.

Although Poulter said it in general terms, Tang Bao could hear that the later integration of East West Bank was not smooth.

That's right, too.

Last year, Tang Bao recklessly swept all kinds of troubled banks in various states in the United States like a madman, how could he digest them all at once.

Sometimes it is not uncommon for an acquisition to be undigested for several years.

But Veniburger dared to seek international expansion without fully digesting it, and seems confident in East West Bank's integration.

East West Bank started by acquiring a small community bank, and through a frenzy of acquisitions, it expanded quickly and was able to rank in the top 10 in the United States. But all the business is in the United States. Vinnieburg's trip to Mexico for opportunities was arguably the first step in an international expansion.

Winnieburg and other senior executives are not at the headquarters, Poulter also knows little about many businesses, and Tang Bao can't ask in depth.

After a quick walk, he left East West Bank.

……

Saying.

The staff in the office area outside also knew that their lazy performance just now was seen by Tang Bao, the real big boss of East West Bank, and they suddenly became very worried. Now that the banking crisis has erupted, many banks have laid off workers one after another, and it is difficult to find jobs, and they are worried that they will be laid off.

Many staff members were in a trance, waiting for the punishment of "death" in fear......

But.

Until Tang Bao left, he was not punished. Many people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts and were glad to have escaped. But the smile of joy had not yet fully bloomed, and a notice suddenly sent them into the abyss. Although it is not to the point of despair, it is also a wailing all over the field.

"Deduct six months' bonus!"

The cost is not dearly.

But who let them die by themselves, Tang Bao finally came to inspect once, and was encountered. Poulter doesn't punish severely, how to explain! (To be continued......)
