Chapter 492: Socializing
In fact, Marin himself knows that the reason why Antonio is willing to make friends with him is of course not because of his own means of communication, but because he has deposited more than a billion dollars in Citibank!
In other words, Marin is Antonio's VIP customer, because the bank's executives also have a fixed customer base, and the book can directly affect the other party's year-end bonus, and Marin's more than one billion US dollars can bring real dollars to Antonio, which is also a win-win situation.
Therefore, Antonio still attaches great importance to Marin.
In addition, during this time, Marin was cooperating with Kazuo Kazuo, Ono Real Estate and others to develop the resort hotel field, and an important part of it was to cooperate with banks, and it was Marin who was responsible for negotiating with Antonio.
Citibank's executives also held meetings to study investment plans, and felt that if Marin and others could shine brightly, the banks they worked with would also benefit.
As the manager of Citibank, Antonio can bring a huge amount of business to the bank through this cooperation, and his status can be further improved.
As a result, Antonio valued Marin even more. However, because Marin had told him that this matter needed to be kept secret, and Antonio also knew that it would be very bad for him if his competitors knew about it. So now at this business banquet, Antonio didn't say a word about it.
At this time, Zuo Nosuke came to Marin's side and smiled at Antonio:
"Mr. Antonio, it turns out that you know Miss Ma."
As the saying goes, peers are enemies, both of them are bankers, and more often than not, they are competitors, of course Antonio knows the Bank of Tokyo UKJ, and he has also seen Zuo Nosuke, but the relationship between the two is not deep.
As a private bank, Antonio feels that Bank of Tokyo UKJ still has great potential for development, however, whether in terms of capital or management experience, Bank of Tokyo UKJ is far inferior to Citibank, so in Antonio's eyes, UKJ Bank is more of a potential opponent, at least at this stage, UKJ Bank is not qualified to become a positive opponent of Citibank.
It's just that Antonio didn't expect Marin to know Zuo Nosuke as well.
It can be said that Marin is the most talented of the young people Antonio has ever met, Marin's keen timing, as well as the overall situation, even he himself is beyond the limit, given time, Marin will definitely be able to become one of the top figures of the world pyramid.
In comparison, although Zuo Nosuke's ability is also very strong, it is not as ruthless and decisive as Marin.
And Antonio is also puzzled, since Sanosuke is related to Marin, then Marin wants to develop the hotel business, why not cooperate with UKJ Bank? If Marin chooses the Bank of Tokyo UKJ as a partner, I believe that it will allow the UKJ Bank to achieve breakthrough development, so as to speed up the speed of catching up with Citibank, and maybe eventually surpass Citibank, but why did Marin not do it.
Although he had many doubts in his heart, Antonio was a very deep person, and he didn't show it, but just smiled at Zuo Zhisuke:
"It turns out that Miss Ma and Zuo Zhisuke are also friends, what a surprise."
Zuo Nosuke was also surprised, when he saw that the relationship between Antonio and Marin was so good, he was also very surprised in his heart, as a colleague and opponent, Zuo Nosuke was also very familiar with Antonio, and knew that this person was powerful, Marin was able to have a relationship with such a character, it was really too much for Zuo Nosuke to expect.
"I just wonder how Marin met you, Mr. Antonio?" Zuonosuke asked with a smile.
Antonio Lang laughed:
"Actually, we only met through a friend's introduction, but I also know Miss Ma's father Richard and her brother Mike, but Miss Ma is talented, the best of the young people I have ever met, his eldest brother, Sumitomo and Kitajima, to be honest, are not as good as Marin."
Saying this in front of Sumitomo and Kitajima shows that Antonio really appreciates Marin very much.
And Sumitomo and Kitajima are of course not as good as Marin, Sumitomo has seen Marin's methods, and Kitajima has suffered a lot of losses under Marin, so both of them are very aware of Marin's ability, and they have no opinion on Antonio's praise.
I only heard Kitajima smile bitterly:
"Mr. Antonio, you're right, compared with Miss Ma, the gap is really big, I'm convinced."
Zuo Zhisuke and the others were shocked when they heard Kitajima's words, Kitajima, as the leader of the younger generation in the Dongying business district, was more or less arrogant, but at this time, he could think that he was not as good as Marin, which showed that Marin's methods could indeed convince him.
In addition, Kitajima just learned that Marin seems to be hidden deeply, he only thought that Marin was a grassroots who suddenly rose, but now he knows that Marin must also have a background.
Although Marin's current strength is still a little behind that of some wealthy families, Kitajima feels that if someone like Marin exists, his power will definitely soar to the sky.
Tonight, Marin revealed a little bit of the details, but Antonio said it in general terms, only mentioning her biological father Richard, however, these facts have nothing to do with Marin at all.
It's just that in the eyes of Antonio, Sumitomo and Kitajima, Zuonosuke is really not a too unfathomable figure, so he was reincarnated in the rich Iwasaki family.
On the contrary, they have a high regard for the self-made Marin, and have no doubt that Marin will far surpass some of the Second Ancestors.
Especially Sumitomo, Marin had revealed to him before that now the Iwasaki family is a bit of a trick except Yataro, and everyone else is not to be afraid.
As for Kitajima, Zuo Nosuke is not a big man in his eyes, after all, his ability is obvious to all, even if the Iwasaki family doesn't want him anymore, he can still find a suitable job in the Mitsubishi Foundation or any other company!
He can be said to be an important minister next to the old man Iwasaki, and he can always see the old man Iwasaki, who is at the top of the Toei business district, how can Zuo Nosuke and others surprise Kitajima?
But then again, Kitajima just explicitly admitted that he was not as good as Marin, which really surprised the people around him.
Especially Zuo Nosuke, he originally thought that Marin was just a woman who hooked up with a big man with a bit of possibility, but now it sounds completely different from expectations, and because of Antonio, Sumitomo, and Kitajima, he has become the best among all the young people present.
You must know that the young people in this banquet hall today are either the children of a prominent family, or an outstanding person with unlimited potential for a self-made family, and none of them are ordinary people, and it is very rare for Marin to stand out among these people.
To be honest, he was quite surprised. Because he knew that Antonio was a person, and it was easy not to praise others so much, but now he was able to praise Marin like this.
In particular, Iwa Antonio is also the biggest opponent of the Bank of Tokyo UKJ in the future, the head of Citibank, and to a certain extent, he is in a hostile relationship with Zuo Nosuke, and even the competitors praise Marin so much, which shows Marin's true material.
He chose to suddenly realize why his father Yataro attached so much importance to promoting Marin, and sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy!
