Phyllis had a reason to be angry. His contact with the state government was not pleasant, because his reasons caused the state government to reject him very much. Even though the governor did not show any dissatisfaction with him, the choice of words and sentences between the lines, as well as the look and attitude in his eyes when speaking, had clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with Felice.
Yes, it is not dissatisfaction with others, not with the central bank, or with him, Felice.
Moreover, he also raised the possibility that Southern Commercial Bank would enter the market, which made Phyllis even more aware of his own stupidity. As a director of the Imperial Bank of China and a small shareholder, he has always worked at the headquarters of the Imperial Bank of China and rarely goes to other places. First of all, he doesn't like to go to the local branches. He is not a government official, so he can't find any sense of superiority from local branches. There are even some local branch presidents who have more shares in the central bank than he does.
As for why he has more shares than him, this involves the competition between the Imperial Bank and the southern bankers. In order to avoid being bankrupted by the Imperial Central Bank, the southern bankers united closely to form a Southern Bank Alliance. , which is the predecessor of Southern Commercial Bank. They actively gained recognition and investment from some capitalists in the South. They gained a firm foothold in this life-and-death war and began to attempt to counterattack.
Any successful case is worthy of imitation by others. In the battle for other bankers, the Imperial Bank changed its strategy in a timely manner and adopted policies to win over some weak bankers. Let these small bankers bring their banks and depositors to directly convert them into shares and integrate them into the Imperial Central Bank. It was this series of measures that allowed some private banks to transform themselves into the Imperial Bank of England, own considerable shares, and retain some independence in operations.
So Phyllis was not very happy to go somewhere and stayed in the imperial capital. Where is the Imperial Capital? It is the core area of a country's politics, culture, economy, and science and technology. There are so many great people and companies gathered here. If you interact with these people a lot, it will inevitably give people a feeling of drifting off - The people I met were all top people in the industry, even cabinet members.
This social environment that Phyllis may not even realize has become a habit of his life, which makes him more confident. Confidence is a good thing, but excessive confidence is pride, and excessive pride can turn into disgusting arrogance.
After coming to the west, especially when the development of the west lagged behind other places, when he saw this kind of city that looked like a countryside, even Van Lier was actually considered prosperous. To him, this was all countryside. When facing the governor, his mentality was a little arrogant. After all, he was just a "rich man". How could he be compared with the big shots in the imperial capital. In addition, the reason for his trip to the west was a greeting from the cabinet. He came here as a savior with the heavy responsibility of saving the people of the west. Naturally, there were some rudeness in the details and some of the demands he made. It's too much.
In fact, these requirements were not his own thoughts, but plans formulated by the headquarters. They came to the west to clean up these messes just to give face to the current New Party cabinet. The annual loss target of 20 million is enough to show their sincerity. It is impossible for them to unconditionally meet the cabinet's demands just because the cabinet wants them to do so. After all, no matter how great the Imperial Bank is, they are not the official government, they are just a huge economy composed of a group of bankers who aim to make profits. body.
Pay must be rewarded. This is the essence of profit-seeking by businessmen. Set a bottom line, reasonably avoid a certain degree of risk, and obtain more benefits and support from policies. No central bank director, including the chairman, would think so. Doing it is wrong!
Unfortunately, things are always polymorphic and changeable, and you will definitely make mistakes when your plan cannot keep up with the changes. No one will intercede for Phyllis, saying that he is right and wrong. What is wrong is not that the headquarters' plan has not kept up with the changes in form. Then he must bear all the mistakes of this trip to the west, and for this Responsible.
In such a process that has affected his future and prospects, when he is trying his best to persuade the governor to support the new plan of the central bank headquarters, when he is preparing to fight with Bellito to save his series of "mistakes", he I actually heard someone say that Du Lin was secretly purchasing the contracts of those insured under the three-guarantee policy. This feeling was like when he returned home from a business trip for three years and found that his wife was fighting hard with a man and had a child inexplicably.
When he redeemed his wife with true love and drove the man out, he turned around and discovered his anger when his wife was beaten in a corner by a man.
Why do you dare to do this
Do you know how much work I have done to turn things around and get them back on the right path? How dare you destroy the family life that I worked so hard to save
Thinking of the contracts that Du Lin secretly acquired, Phyllis could imagine that after he returned to the imperial capital, the directors and chairman of the board of directors of the central bank would roar and scold him. He could even imagine that because of his The reasons, whether they are really failures and mistakes caused by him or not, will definitely cause him to lose this important job, and someone may even offer to buy out his shares and expel him from the council.
This is not impossible. As the largest economy in the empire, the directors and chairman of the board of directors in this economy do not have too much "human touch" to talk about. Their human touch is only for those talents who can bring benefits to them and the central bank. For losers, getting kicked out is the best choice.
The furious Phyllis did not wait for Dulin's explanation or apology. The phone call was hung up, which made Phyllis even more embarrassed. He threw the receiver to the ground with force, and the fragile receiver immediately shattered into pieces. Then he ran into another room, picked up the phone and dialed the number given to him. When the phone was picked up, he took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart and said in a low voice, "Transfer the contract you acquired to me, and I will give you a price that satisfies you. This is what I..."
The second receiver was thrown to the ground again, and Du Lin hung up the phone again. After being extremely angry, he suddenly calmed down, walked to the third room with a gloomy face, picked up the receiver, and dialed Du Lin. "I think we need to sit down and talk. I know you, Dulin, and I know all the things you do. Maybe you should also get to know me, and then we can discuss the problems we need to solve."
This time, he didn't show anger or arrogance, but his words were still not so polite.
Facing Du Lin who made three consecutive phone calls to harass him, he chuckled after a moment of silence, "I spent two minutes checking out your information, Mr. Felice. You said you knew what I knew. You know a lot about me, but you still dare to talk to me in this way. I have a question for you. Did the Six-Eyed Flying Fish give you the courage?" Du Lin continued before Felice could react. Said, "I suggest you find a skilled woman to discuss technical issues now, then drink some wine to relax, stabilize your mood, and then consider how to communicate with me."
"Mr. Phyllis, as you said, you know everything about me, but this is the West and I will not accept threats from anyone, never!"
Hanging up the phone again made Phyllis' chest rise and fall violently. He pressed the receiver on the phone and walked back and forth in the room angrily. From time to time, his face would turn red with excitement and he would wave his arms and make some terrifying movements. He's like crazy.
He heard the threat from Du Lin's words. When Du Lin said those words, his scalp numbed for no reason, he shivered, and a chill shot from his buttocks down his spine to his head. This time, he really calmed down.
This can't be done like this!
The Imperial Bank has not always been smooth sailing since its establishment. It also encountered many problems when it was first established. Those pioneers moved many people with the same position through their personal efforts, and finally the Imperial Bank came into being today. He also needs to work hard to impress Du Lin, and then let Du Lin sell him what he has.
He thought of the words of a certain chairman - try to convince your enemies with sincerity and goodwill, and tell him that besides hostility, there can be other connections between us. Of course, persuasion may not be able to achieve the goal, but wisdom has given us more methods. If one method doesn't work, just change to another. There will always be one method that is effective.
He simply packed up and went to the Imperial Bank of China branch in Van Lier with his bodyguard. He didn't dare not bring a bodyguard with him. Just like Dulin said, this is the west, and there will always be some accidents, right
After arriving at the branch, he met the branch president who came to greet him. Being assigned to the west, a place where business is lagging behind, in the central bank's system, this president would be considered a middle-to-lower level. If it weren't for Van Leer. The "branch" (regional bank), but the "branch" of Vanlier (city bank), may be an unqualified "staff member".
After the two entered the president's office, Phyllis sat on the president's chair, "I have submitted an application to the board of directors, and it will be approved soon, but I need you to freeze all Dulin's accounts in the west first. ,any questions?"
Phyllis looked at the president here with a gloomy look. As long as Dulin's account can be frozen, his acquisition will not be able to continue, and at the same time, he can take the initiative to sit at the negotiating table. As one of the directors of the Reichsbank, he had the authority to do so.
