Chapter 52: Catfish
(It's been hot lately, so it's inevitable that it's a little angry.) Whether it's advice or encouragement, I'm welcome. Turnip greens have their own loves, and I understand if you don't like to see them. As I said before, this is not serious, it is the goal to make everyone happy and happy, there is no need to make unpleasant noise, there is no need to waste saliva, otherwise it will backfire. The results of this book are really bad, but novices always have to try it, since there are friends to read, I will definitely persevere to the end to write it, the big deal is that the next book is less poisonous. Tomorrow's Dragon Boat Festival, three watches. )
Everyone had no objection to the decision of the sole boss of the company, and nodded their heads one after another, they all knew a little about Li Jie, this young boss didn't like to question, he just needed to make suggestions and actions.
"Do you really get it?"
Li Jie is not satisfied with their reactions, including Flor, who is no longer human, and Samson, who is completely obedient, and the key to the way is to control the way to be moderate, and it is obviously time to spur these guys on.
"It seems to me that there are only two kinds of people in the world, winners and losers, want to know the difference between them?." Li Jie raised his finger and shook it. "The former always maintains his desire for victory, and rushes forward firmly by the neck of the **; The latter is content with the status quo, willing to be mediocre, small wealth is peace, insensitive to setbacks, and satisfied without regression, but often when these unlucky eggs realize it, they have already degenerated into pigs and can only be slaughtered. ”
"So gentlemen." Li Jie stood up, his hands propped on the table and looked down at everyone. "At Corona, you are not in a secure position, and you never will. It's not some bullshit sense of crisis, it's a quality that must be maintained if you want to be at the top of the food chain. ”
"If you don't eat others, others will eat you!" His tone was calm and his expression was indifferent, revealing neat and white teeth, as charming as ever, but for some reason, the words he said were full of creepy murderous intentions, as if he could be bloodthirsty at any time in the next moment.
Seeing that everyone, including Flower, was nervous, uneasy, or excited to the point that his face was bloodshot, Li Jie sat down satisfied, put his feet on the conference table and smiled.
"Very well, now I see that people really understand what I mean. I would like to make it clear that as long as all of you keep in mind what I said and give full play to your own value, you will be able to embrace an extremely bright future together with Corona. He summed it up in an unquestioning tone.
Today was a small meeting, so that these high-level guys got acquainted with each other, so the others just made their own simple speeches. But when the meeting was over, the executives didn't leave, but sat down on one side of the table.
They have all been informed that today will also be an interview, chaired by Li Kit himself, and they will select one or two of the people who will participate in the interview, and they will be the senior vice president of Corona Corporation, responsible for strategy, corporate affairs and market development, which is obviously a very important position.
Among the many interviewees, there are also elites with rich work experience and beautiful resumes, some of whom were found by Li Jie through various channels, and some are optimistic about Corona Company with a keen sense of smell. Frankly speaking, as a newly established company, Corona is still difficult to compare with those old big companies, and the reason why so many top people want to join is entirely because of Li Jie's original words:
"No matter who he is, as long as he can realize his value, the income must be multiplied than before!"
Such a promise without a specific amount, but still has a huge appeal, the key is that his net worth is convincing. According to Pfizer's preliminary estimates, the net profit of "Weilida" in the first quarter of the listing is about 1.3 billion to 1.8 billion US dollars, which is still about 13 years after the patent term of "Weilida" is about 13 years under the premise of no global offering. According to this situation, even the most conservative estimates, the profit that can be obtained from the patent term will be more than 60 billion US dollars, which is still calculated under the premise of various unfavorable factors, otherwise it is very likely to exceed 100 billion US dollars, which is a pure profit!
In other words, in the next ten years, Li Jie will be able to share about $4 billion to $8 billion from the profits of "Willida", and it can be said that the purpose of his plan with Flower has basically been achieved, and thanks to this old and spicy litigator for winning this huge amount of money.
So it's not surprising that there are former executives of these major companies who come for interviews for the big profits he promised. Many of them have enough resumes to even dwarf the current company's top executives, which is part of Eng's purpose - to keep the old people loyal while always full of a sense of crisis, and at the same time naturally divide the camp with the new senior officials of the company, a simple way of scheming.
After several rounds of interviews, Flower and others began to have some doubts, among these interviewers, there are not a few who have worked in well-known companies, but more people are from Wall Street.
"Are these Wall Street guys suitable?" In between interviews, Flower took the initiative to voice his questions.
"As I said, Corona is going to grow much faster than you think, and the one in charge of strategy has to be an energetic, aggressive guy, and what better fit than these guys on Wall Street?" Li Jie asked with a smile.
For him, the so-called general law does not apply. The Corona Company, with its demonic bloodline background, will surely develop very differently from other companies. A seasoned veteran of the rules? Naturally, he will not be lacking, but he will also need some bloodthirsty and fierce adventurers and fighters. Aside from the highly trained, machine-cold professional soldiers, the most suitable ones are these guys on Wall Street.
What makes the name Wall Street magical?
There is a popular saying in the United States: "If you can't sing or play basketball, but you want to live like a star, your only option is to go to Wall Street." ”
Indeed, 30-something millionaires abound on Wall Street. A newbie with no experience in college can earn $100,000 a year at a large company like Morgan Stanley. Even in slightly worse companies, annual salaries average around $65,000. If you're a graduate of business school (MBA), the bottom line for your annual salary is $85,000 (with another $115,000 or so bonus at the end of the year). An assistant manager with five or six years of work experience typically earns between $500,000 and $700,000 a year.
But! Note that salaries aren't a major part of Wall Streeters' income, dividends are the main thing, and it's not a myth that a top analyst gets a $9 million bonus at the end of the year – personal dividends can even reach up to $20 million.
Naturally, benefits and dedication always coexist. If you want to make a name for yourself on Wall Street, you have to follow an unwritten rule that you don't separate your life from your work, but you don't have to make people think you're tired. I work hard at work, and I have to go out with customers on holidays. Golf, parties, and even wedding anniversaries are all about connecting with clients. These "street workers" are well-dressed, well-spoken, 24 hours a day, sleeping up to four hours a day, and often have no friends other than colleagues and clients.
These people lived like Spartan fighters, under great pressure, without real holidays, without comfort, without entertainment. There can be no distractions at any time, only work can be in the eyes. There are hardly any people over the age of 50 on Wall Street for a number of reasons. First of all, if you mix well, you will already earn enough to retire by the age of 40. In addition, Wall Street work is so exhausting that by the time they are 40 years old, most people are running out of fuel.
Although a diploma in finance or management from a prestigious university is somewhat helpful for working on Wall Street. But more often than not, Wall Street only recognizes money and not people, and this is a world where heroes are judged only by success or failure. Looking at the internal composition of Wall Street, no more than 30% of people are majoring in mathematics. Those who originally studied engineering, machinery, chemical engineering, energy, biochemistry and other professional knowledge often have better performance when they switch careers to engage in finance, so Wall Street believes in the creed of "heroes don't ask where they come from" and prefers compound talents.
The elites of Wall Street who came to interview today have completely different backgrounds. Christopher and Izie Kiel ask more professional questions, while Lee Kit is different.
"Mr. Derry, why did you choose to come to Corona, which is a company that has no reputation and has not even launched a product yet."
"What you said is not entirely accurate, sir. You are the star product and business card of Corona, and my responsibility will be to play this card well and sell other products to the world. The answer was David Deree, a 43-year-old middle-aged man who had served as deputy general manager of Merrill Lynch and majored in biopharmaceuticals. Of course, the most important reason is that you promised to double my income. ”
"You are very frank, Mr. Derive." Li Jie was not angry because of his presumptuous words, but showed a playful expression.
"No one is embarrassed on Wall Street, and our only goal is to make money. Create value for the company and make money for yourself. When he said this, David Deve was very calm, without the slightest concealment, as if he were chatting with an old friend.
"You're not worried about keeping promises?" Li Jie asked.
"You'll feel like every dollar is worth it when you're worth me, sir." David Derreve's tone was full of confidence.
"The last question, what I need is to be able to really stay energetic and do whatever it takes to achieve what I want, even if it goes against the principles, can you do it?" Li Jie looked at this man in a suit and leather shoes, and his hair was meticulously combed.
"At the craziest of work, I spent a whole year trading stocks in the company from Monday to Friday, flying to Las Vegas on Friday night, gambling in the casino for 48 hours, taking a red-eye flight back to New York on Sunday, getting off the plane and going straight to the office to start another stressful week of work. Because stock exchanges are closed on weekends, casinos are the only place that offers similar adventurous thrills. I can't even go on a weekend date with my girlfriend or have a meal with my parents like a normal person. David Deve didn't answer directly, but told about his work experience. Having worked on Wall Street for too long, I have become accustomed to the stress and excitement of work, and it is difficult for me to adapt to a comfortable life, and I may not consider taking a break until my body can no longer bear it. ”
For a person like him, although it is not to talk about the extinction of humanity, it is difficult to shake oneself from the condemnation of morality and conscience, wandering on the edge and shadow of the law, and even breaking the law is not uncommon, as long as you are smart enough, you will not be caught.
"You've made a very wise choice, and if you can prove your worth, you may never have to worry about your health in the future." Li Jie said meaningfully. "By the way, and money, congratulations."
In the end, the two people who passed the interview were both from Wall Street, and the other was Israel Horowitz, a former senior investment manager at Morgan Stanley, who came from an aristocratic family, although he studied music and economics, but after switching to finance on Wall Street, he quickly entered the role, and once ran a business of more than $700 million in the energy field.
No way, Li Jie is very fond of these Wall Street guys, and the law of the jungle they believe in makes him a little nostalgic for the demon world in the past. As for Christopher and Izakiel and others in the company now, the appearance of these two guys may make them feel like they are on their backs, which is conducive to maintaining vitality.
It's a good thing to be under pressure, Li Jie thought with satisfaction.
