Chapter four hundred and sixty second
New York, Investment Bank Headquarters.
Zhou Liwen listened quietly to the report of Malez, the project manager of the investment bank's Samsung Group business. Not long after listening, Zhou Liwen raised her hand and stopped the other party from continuing to talk.
"Mr. Malez, I heard that there is only the progress of Samsung Corning's project, but there is no situation with Samsung Electronics, including Samsung Group. Don't forget that your main task is to obtain the equity of Samsung Electronics in accordance with the agreement between us and Li Mengxi and his son, and even further acquire the equity of Samsung Group. Unfortunately, it has been nearly two months since the project was officially launched, and I still haven't seen these things that I pay most attention to."
"Yes, sir, this is exactly what I am going to explain to you..." A cold sweat broke out on Malez's bald head. He took out a handkerchief and wiped it, and said with a smile on his face: "Since Samsung Group has just solved its internal problems, Mr. Li Mengxi took over as chairman only three weeks ago. Therefore, the original scheduled plan has changed slightly based on the current situation. According to the agreement between the two parties, Samsung Corning will be launched first. As for the equity of Samsung Electronics, including Samsung Group, it will be carried out one after another..."
"What do you mean is that everything is under control?" Zhou Liwen interrupted and asked back.
"Yes, everything is indeed under control." Males said, lit up.
Zhou Liwen suddenly had a playful smile on his lips. He looked at the gentleman with his head slightly tilted his head. Malez, as a senior manager of this investment bank, although he was not very famous in the industry, he had rich experience. Moreover, after Zhou Liwen acquired this investment bank, he was pretty good at developing Malez for more than a year. It is precisely for this reason that Zhou Liwen called him to be responsible for the projects of Samsung Group, but he never expected...
The uneasy Males didn't know what Zhou Liwen was thinking about him. In fact, he did not go smoothly in the equity project of Samsung Group, and he could even be said to have encountered difficulties. Originally, he thought it was an easy job. After all, Zhou Liwen had reached an agreement with the other party before, and Males only needed to follow the agreement. But just a few days ago, bad news came from South Korea, as if Li Mengxi and his son were delaying their promises. In this regard, Males did not take it seriously at first, but only thought that the other party planned to raise the price to bargain with him. This situation is common in the financial world, and Males had also encountered it before.
But who would have thought that the situation seemed to have changed a few days later. The intention of Li Mengxi and his son seemed to be not just bargaining. When they got the news, Males was shocked and quickly sent someone to negotiate with Samsung Group. According to the normal procedures, Males should report to his boss, Zhou Liwen as soon as possible, but because he was worried that Zhou Liwen would blame himself for this matter, and even hold him accountable. Out of luck, Males temporarily concealed the matter and planned to rely on his own strength to deal with it as soon as possible. If everything returns to the right path, then there will be no problem with the small problems that happened before.
Today, Zhou Liwen suddenly asked about this, which made Males a little panicked. But for his status and power, Males still did not tell the truth, but instead found an excuse to cover it up. Now, whether Zhou Liwen believed in his excuses, Males was still a little confident at the beginning, but with the subtle changes in Zhou Liwen's expression on his face, Males suddenly felt that he seemed to have done something wrong.
Zhou Liwen picked up the phone on the table and pressed the inside line: "I'll let me come over."
After briefly speaking, Zhou Liwen hung up the phone. At this time, Males was about to say something, but Zhou Liwen waved at him and signaled him to wait first.
A few minutes later, the office door was knocked, and with a call in, a man in a suit, who looked extremely smart and powerful, walked in.
"Bavc..." The visitor greeted Zhou Liwen with a smile.
"Aaron, I'm very happy to see you." Zhou Liwen stood up with a smile.
"So too." Aaron nodded with a smile, then shook hands with Zhou Liwen.
When he saw Malez's puzzled expression on the side, Zhou Liwen smiled and introduced Aaron: "This is Mr. Aaron, the senior director of the investment department of Lehman Brothers, and now he is also the vice president of the investment bank..."
When Males heard this, he was shocked. Although Lehman Brothers had gone bankrupt, people who were at Lehman Brothers' position as senior director of the investment department were all elites in the financial industry. Although Males is now the vice president of investment banking, his position is the same as Aaron in this regard, Males is very clear that whether in terms of experience or strength, Aaron will only be stronger than him and not weaker than him.
"Hello Mr. Aaron, welcome to join our investment bank." In any case, as an old man in the investment bank, Males still has to show a welcome attitude, not to mention that the big boss Zhou Liwen is there.
Regarding Malez's show of kindness, Aaron just shook hands with him with plain politeness.
Just when their hands were not separated, Zhou Liwen suddenly said, "By the way, I almost forgot that Mr. Aaron not only serves as the vice president of our investment bank, but also is fully responsible for the project work on Samsung Group."
Males was stunned and the smile on his face became stiff. He looked at Zhou Liwen unexpectedly and couldn't help but say, "Bavc, isn't Samsung Group's project mine?"
"It was yours before, but it will not be yours from now on." Zhou Liwen said with a smile. Although he had a smile on his face when he spoke, there was a trace of bone-permeable coldness in his words.
"What does this mean? I don't understand. Is it a joke? Haha, is it April Fool's Day?" Males was a little nervous and asked calmly.
"It's very simple, you were dismissed or swept out of the house." Zhou Liwen's cold voice sounded, and he threw Males into hell in an instant.
"For... why?" Males immediately said excitedly.
"I think you should know." Zhou Liwen's eyes flashed over Malez like a knife. He sneered: "You failed my trust and did not report to me immediately when the project changes, but tried to deal with it in a cover way. Mr. Malez, as a professional financial practitioner, your practice has completely violated professional ethics and also violated company regulations. Secondly to this point, I have no problem with your handling. Of course, you can ask your lawyer whether the reason for doing this is illegal. If you want to sue the company, I don't object. However, as a boss, I would still advise you that this will cause greater losses to you. If I were you, I would say nothing and turn back to the office to write a resignation letter, then leave quietly, and maybe go home and have a sleep. By the next day, you still have the opportunity to find a decent job in other companies."
Males's face turned blue and red, and his expression was extremely complicated, as if he wanted to tell something about it. But in the end he closed his mouth, just like Zhou Liwen said, turning around and leaving the office without saying a word. If there was no accident, he would take the initiative to write the resignation letter in more than ten minutes and submit it, and then pack up his personal belongings under the supervision of the security guard and leave the investment bank completely.
