0056 The most terrible force in society is man himself
How luxurious can an office be?
It's a nonsense question, people have different understandings of luxury, there will be many different luxuries, but this is really a luxurious room.
The gold-clad ceiling and natural crystal chandeliers, the bear's head on the wall, the lion's head and the two one-person-high ivory tusks on the display cabinet are enough to show how luxuriously this room is decorated.
However, the contents of this office, like most offices, are the property of the company, and only a very small number of personal belongings belong to the employees of the company who use the room.
His name is Joe Gleeman, the manager of the credit department of the Sabin branch of the Golden Bank.
This kind of administrative manager is completely different from those relationship managers outside, and he is still one step away from being promoted to the level of bank branch president, but this step is difficult to cross.
Unlike most official institutions, where the second-ranked local official rises one rank to the number one position at the local level, Joe Griman may be transferred from a branch to a regional branch or headquarters to work his way up the ranks at the lower and middle levels if he is to be promoted.
The meaning of the president is not just the difference in title, of course, Joe Griman did not think that he could become a president, this kind of thing basically does not happen.
He lacks a lot of capital, he has no backers on the board of directors of the head office, and those people do not look down on the general manager of the credit department of a branch in a second-tier city, which makes his road to promotion a long one, but fortunately he is easily satisfied and satisfied with the status quo.
Just forty-two years old, with a successful career, a young and beautiful wife, and three children who are also very lively and lovely, if there are not too many problems, he may do all the forty-eight on the side of Sabin, and then transfer to the branch to make way for the others.
The bank's preferential treatment made him never consider some problems after being removed from important positions, and the high welfare and high treatment were enough for him to spend his life happily.
Of course, anyone will have such and such small troubles, and this has nothing to do with their poor scenery, and the scenery is like that of His Excellency the President of the Union of Baylor, and it is impossible for everything to be worry-free.
Joe Gleeman's current problem is that the amount of loan business in Sabine City has been declining, and the amount of business is not much directly related to the level of management at his level.
The more he has accomplished, he may be talked about in a meeting by the superiors of the branch.
There are few things to do, and the unlucky ones are also those front-line loan account managers, although everyone is a manager.
But this is a bit of a bad taste after all, every year at the end of the year, Jinhui Bank will have a paid public trip, everyone works in the same group company, but they belong to different regions, and it is inevitable that they will talk about their work together.
Those who do well will definitely be touted, and if they complete their tasks well, they will have more opportunities to be promoted, and they may become their superiors in the future.
If you don't do it well, although you won't be ridiculed by people clearly, in the process of various comparisons, it will become a green leaf that sets off others, and it doesn't feel good at all.
He wants to solve these problems, but there is nothing he can do, as one of the six major banks of the Bylor Federation, Jinhui Bank, the understanding of the financial market, the understanding of the international economic trend has become their daily homework.
Since the explosive economic development of the Bailer Federation ended in previous years, the economy has been a little sluggish in recent years.
The financial market is still very active, and there is no obvious downward trend, which also makes people always say that this is a "short" silence after the outbreak, and after the upward "rebound period" has passed, the federal economy will have another significant growth.
People believe these words, but the question is whether this rebound period is too long, it has been almost three years, the weak market and the declining economy have begun to prick people's nerves, especially the explosive growth dividend period is gradually ending, people are beginning to come out of the blind audience, and there is an undercurrent surging under the seemingly thriving surface of the entire Baile Federation.
In the past seven months of this year, more than 2,000 enterprises have been registered in Saibin City, and more than 600 small, medium, and micro enterprises have gone bankrupt and liquidated.
If you can't get it back, it will be a big trouble, and the above is good, and every year a part of the bad debt index will be given to each branch, but if you really fill this indicator and try it, a phone call can change the personnel structure of the entire branch.
As the last person to approve, Joe Griman has always been cautious, he would rather not let out a penny than be kicked out, he will stay in this position for a few more years, and when his three children are adults, they will all be arranged in the bank.
When a person reaches his age and does not have too many pursuits, he begins to think about the affairs of his children, and most people do so.
While he was reading some obscene magazines at his desk, one of the four telephones in front of his desk rang, a personal number, only known to people with whom he had a good relationship, and only after adjusting his mood a little before he picked up the phone, "This is Joe Grimman......"
"It's me, Johnson, are you free at noon?", on the other end of the line, a call from the director of the local tax office.
The banks deal with the IRD far more often than they greet the Bureau, and although they often deal with the Bureau, they don't like the people at the Bureau.
On the contrary, it is easier to contact the tax bureau, which is considered to be mutually beneficial, especially the middle and senior management of the bank, their income is more than ten times or even dozens of times that of others, how to legally avoid taxes has become a headache for them, but if there are people from the tax bureau to help them sort out the materials, then everything is much simpler.
In return, they will also give very active cooperation to the tax bureau, and occasionally push some inside information, such as a fund that has been doing well recently, a change in the board of directors of a listed company, and so on.
Joe Griman came into contact with mostly middle-level people like Michael, and Johnson he knew and had several encounters, but the frequency and frequency of contact were low.
In Johnson's position, the Federal Inspectorate of Byler will check him from time to time to see if he is involved in duty-related crimes.
The federation does not pay much attention to the grassroots and front-line workers, even if these people use their power to commit crimes, the harm to the entire federation and society is extremely limited, but the main responsible persons at the local level are different, and once they are involved in job-related crimes, the losses caused are incalculable.
If there is nothing to do with the Ministry of Supervision, he will keep an eye on it, and even if Joe Grimman has the opportunity to sit down with Johnson and make friends, he will try to avoid suspicion.
This time it was the other party who came to him, and he couldn't avoid it, so he could only say that he was free.
Johnson invited him to lunch, a request that was honestly odd, there was no friendship between them, and it was clear that the other party was looking for him.
After hanging up the phone, he thought about it for a long time and couldn't find a reason why Director Johnson suddenly invited him, so he could only prepare in advance with a puzzled stomach.
On the other hand, Lynch and Johnson had already arrived at the date meeting place twenty minutes before their appointment.
Joe Griman just took out his brain and then ate it and ate it to make up for it, but he couldn't figure out that Johnson was actually just a medium, and it was Lynch, an ordinary little person, who really wanted to see him.
