Chapter 50: The First Loss in History (4)
"Really? And such a good thing? "Tom. Dalaire's heart moved, but his mouth said disapprerovingly.
In fact, he was already tempted, and although he was paid more than $100,000 a year as a university professor, the difference between that salary and Wall Street's multimillion-dollar salary, plus an annual dividend of almost the same, was too obvious. After a few years on Wall Street, Tom . Dalaire's standard of living is no longer comparable to that of the Cornell professor.
Therefore, after hearing that "you don't have to worry about your livelihood for the rest of your life", he was unexpectedly moved, but soon he thought that high returns must be accompanied by high risks, so he didn't immediately agree, but said lightly: "Can you tell me first, what do you need me to do?" You should be aware that there are some things that cannot be done. ”
"Of course, my buddy!" John. Mark spoke, but he didn't immediately say that he needed Tom. What Dolaire did, on the contrary, he analyzed Tom with the other party seriously. "Tom, I believe you should also know that someone must step up and take responsibility for the current loss of such a serious matter. I've been consulted by the board of directors, and your departure is inevitable. I know this qiē is not fair to you, but no one can change it. Your work is still recognized by everyone, and it is all caused by the market, but we must give an account to our shareholders. So, wait until the November quarterly earnings report is released, and we're going to let you leave with dignity. ”
The news did not come out of Tom. Dalare's surprise, he just pouted, and accepted the fact indifferently, "But John." I still haven't figured it out, but what does this have to do with what you just said? ”
It seems that the other party is indeed interested in his own mentions! At this moment, John. Mark and Soros invariably flashed the same thought in their hearts, and since this is the case, it is possible to continue talking. Then it was Soros' turn to come on again, "Tom." Now that your departure is a foregone conclusion, should you think about how you can make the most of the rest of your time and earn enough money for the rest of your life? To be honest, I have a mention here, a very simple mention that is enough to make you $10 million. ”
"$10 million?" Tom. Dalaire gasped and his heart shook, but the next moment he woke up from the temptation. Becoming more and more vigilant, "This number is really surprising, but Mr. Soros, what do you need me to do?" ”
At this time, in his heart, he had already begun to calculate quickly, if what the other party asked for was not excessive, then he would accept it in one go, after all, he would not be able to earn this amount of money in everything.
"It's actually quite simple. I just need you to send an email. "John. Mark finally told him about his plan, "I'm sure you should know it. Our bond position and Prince Faisal's consortium have collapsed, and the other party has broken the contract. I want you to send him an email, an email from your point of view expressing regret that the deal fell through. ”
"It's as simple as that?"
After listening to John. After Mark's narration, Tom. Dalaire was silent for a long time, and after thinking about it, he still didn't understand the joints. Logically speaking. He is responsible for the risk control of internal investment, but if you give advice to the other party from the perspective of professional risk control, this is also a good thing. Just Tom. What Dalaire couldn't understand was that such a simple thing could be paid tens of millions of dollars? It's illogical!
"Of course it's not that simple. My friend! That's when Soros interjected, "Tom, you don't think it's that simple. The content of the letter was addressed to the prince, but in fact you made a mistake at work and sent the email to another person. ”
"I sent it to another person?" This next Tom. Dalaire somewhat understood, but he still didn't understand what else was in it, "It's still not logical to send it to another person to get so much money, you two." ”
"You don't care about the rest, and you can choose to withdraw the email if you find a mistake, and you'll be out of the picture." Soros naturally did not give up the whole plan, and politely refused the other party's inquiry at the moment, and did not forget to remind, "Of course, if something happens in the end and requires your cooperation, you just need to tell the process as it is!" ”
"What happened?" Tom. Daulaire keenly grasped the implication of this sentence, and immediately asked rhetorically, "George, you must explain what is going to happen." I wouldn't want to do such a thing if I didn't understand. ”
Soros secretly complained in his heart, he didn't expect the other party to be so shrewd, but since he had already opened the bow, there was no turning back. He could only continue to explain: "I don't know what will happen, but the strictest thing is probably that some people will come and ask you questions." Of course, it could be someone from the legal profession or a law enforcer. ”
"Insider trading? SEC? "When I heard Soros's words, Tom. Dalaire immediately thought of a possibility, and suddenly shivered all over. Although he didn't know what the specific situation would turn out of, he was already vaguely aware that the two of them were going to dig a trap for others, a big trap. After confirming that his idea was correct, he immediately replied, "If that's the case, then I want $50 million." Yes, you heard it right, it's $50 million. Because then I can't get a foothold on Wall Street, and I have such a low-level mistake in my work, and I'm also the head of risk control, which will ruin my career. ”
"$20 million, that's my bottom line!" Soros said decisively, "No more, my friend, you are so greedy!" ”
"$30 million, agree or disagree! I don't want much, man. And for the time being, I can't use this money, and I have to completely bleached it, which will cost me! "Tom. Doulaire ignored the so-called "bottom line" and was silent for a long time before making a new offer.
"$25 million! It couldn't be more! Soros almost gritted his teeth and said the number, "My friend, if you say 'no', then the business is completely over!" ”
"Deal!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Tom. Daulaire decisively accepted the offer. (To be continued......)
