"Dear distinguished guests, journalists from newspapers and enthusiasts from all walks of life, good morning! I am very honored to be able to stand here and preside over the founding meeting of the Insurance Industry Self-Discipline Committee. This is an exciting moment and one that will surely be remembered by history. A moment to remember." The host's words were full of passion when he spoke them. This host has a high status in the hosting circle and has hosted many official and semi-official conferences. Have a very high reputation.
This time the Imperial Bank spent a huge sum of 10,000 yuan to invite him to host such a meeting, which also shows how much the central bank attaches importance to this inaugural meeting. We must know that the current mainstream front-line host often only costs one or two thousand yuan to host a meeting.
Sometimes people always say not to use money, which is full of the smell of rotten copper, to measure a person or a thing, but most of the time, in this society, it is not necessary to measure whether a person or a thing has value. Standards are linked to money. It's just like a skilled woman who can be found for a hundred dollars and a skilled woman who can be found for a thousand dollars. No matter in any aspect, there will be a huge gap in body, appearance or skills.
Too many people like to use morality and nobility to flaunt themselves, because they often do not have the ability to be vulgar, and these moral and noble people do not perform as well as those vulgar people in the face of interests that can shake their will. Of course, this is not true. It means morality and aloofness are worthless.
The extremely contagious and emotional language made the venue "warm up", and everyone gradually began to focus on the conference room. The host's passionate emotions were very appealing, and soon all the participants got into the mood. middle.
Next came the first speaker's speech, and Taylor took the stage.
"The insurance business is a new thing that has never appeared in the financial system of the entire empire and even the world. Every one of us in the industry is a pioneer in this field. What we are facing is a In the fog, there are no pioneers to guide us, we can only rely on ourselves!" Taylor was very high-profile as the first spokesperson. Originally, this position was given to a chairman of the central bank, but this big shot refused to be in the position. In the end, the task of delivering a speech on such an occasion fell on Taylor.
Wherever there are people, there will inevitably be conflicts of interest. Some people are optimistic about the prospects of the insurance industry, and some people will definitely think that this is an industry full of dangers. In fact, sometimes the reason for opposition is not that people find some disharmonious factors, but simply Find a reason to object to express your position. These senior executives may not really think that the insurance industry is risky. This is just an excuse for them to oppose it. Wouldn't it be too low-level to oppose it without any excuse
Not taking a stand in itself meant being conservative. Taylor could only pretend not to notice the invisible infighting among the senior officials, and went to the stage to speak. He couldn't afford to interfere in the affairs between those people.
While reciting the speech prepared for the chairman yesterday, Taylor's eyes were scanning the entire conference hall. He stood on the presiding platform and looked down at these people, giving him a different feeling. He blurted out the words one by one with great emotion, and the flowing feeling made him feel a little tipsy, as if he had drunk a glass of very high-end red wine. He was a little tipsy, but his mind was extra clear and full of beautiful thoughts. A sense of ambivalence.
The last word of the entire speech was immediately stopped the next second it was uttered, just like a famous tenor pushing the sound wave to the limit. But it still gives people the illusion that the sound is lingering in the ears. Taylor closed his eyes, and warm applause burst out instantly. When he opened his eyes again, he was the focus of the entire conference hall.
He nodded reservedly and bowed slightly. With a smile full of confidence, he calmly gave up his seat to the host. He walked down from the side of the host table and sat back in the first row on the left side near the middle. position.
"That's right. Did you write the manuscript?" Bellito sat next to him and asked softly.
Taylor nodded and said, "I finished writing it at three o'clock last night." This sentence was filled with a variety of complex emotions, most of which were positive. He is indeed worthy of pride. Not only has he become a shareholder of the insurance company, the first CEO, but also a third-level partner of the Imperial Bank. He is also very likely to enter the board of directors of the Imperial Bank and become a real shareholder.
In fact, when writing this manuscript, he had already realized that once an insurance company becomes bigger and stronger, with its business capabilities and profitability, it will not take long for the company to snowball into a terrifying gold-swallowing monster. When that day comes, not to mention the current debt of 1.5 billion, even 1.5 billion can be easily repaid and there will still be a large surplus. As long as the market value of an insurance company exceeds one billion, the Board of Governors of the Imperial Bank will exchange the shares of the insurance company for shares of the central bank through exchange.
On the one hand, the purpose of this is to give him more motivation when the insurance company starts to officially open business, because at this time, he is no longer simply helping others make money, but also helping himself to make money. When insurance companies continue to expand and become new giants, whether the central bank's board of directors wants to prevent his growing influence on insurance companies or really wants to give him a chance to enter the central bank's board of directors, he must be The shares of the insurance company in your hand are exchanged for more secure and reliable central bank shares!
Because of the existence of the board of directors and the existence of the chairman, even if the board of directors wants to kick him out in the end, it can use the shareholders' agreement and the board of directors' vote to forcefully repurchase his shares. This is true for insurance companies. Bian can't do it, because his influence is greatest there.
Although doing this will make people feel that the central bank is too strong and wary of anyone, it is the central bank of the empire after all, and it is the largest economy in the empire!
Entering the council means gaining fame, status, power, and wealth. For this, he is willing to give everything he can.
Bellito smiled, "I see you are in good spirits, you don't look like you just stayed up all night."
They arrived here at around seven o'clock in the morning. With the formation on the road and other preparations, Taylor should have been up at 5:30 at the latest. After only two or three hours of rest, he didn't look tired at all, and his face was radiant. His appearance, calm demeanor, and flying confidence make him a rising future star.
Many people present also realized this. Once the conference is over, Taylor's interpersonal circle will inevitably expand again.
"Two hours of sleep is enough. The doctor said that one hour in deep sleep can be regarded as at least two hours of sleep. I slept for almost five hours, which is enough." Taylor explained a little more, he was not sure about Bayi's sleep. Lito asked why, so he came up with the best version of himself.
Bellito smiled and said nothing, and the conference continued in accordance with the process. In fact, many small industry-based organizations do not make their founding meetings so exaggerated. Most of them sit together and go through the simplest process, and then finish it by eating and drinking. However, the two major banks believe that the self-discipline meeting in the insurance industry must be held with great fanfare, just to let everyone know about it. Everyone knows that the insurance industry is now controlled by the two major banks. It is not impossible to enter this industry, but they need to Got the nod from the two major industries.
This kind of flag-raising is very vulgar, but it is very effective. At least it will save a lot of trouble in the future. For example, some people or organizations start to provide insurance business without saying hello. Even if they are discovered, they will go their own way. Even if some people or organizations are not as good as the central bank, they are not necessarily afraid of the central bank. What about filing lawsuits and spending money? Such simple things
The louder the momentum, the more everyone can understand the determination of the two major banks. This is their cake, and no one can touch it.
Next is the list of institutional members. Strictly speaking, there are currently only nine employees in the insurance industry, seven retail investors and two chairman of the board. In order to make this self-discipline committee look more formal, the two major banks have provided some funds to be allocated to They were given a list of mid- to high-level executives from the insurance company, and all of them were used.
"Next, I will announce the organizational structure and member list of the Insurance Industry Self-Discipline Committee." The host's expression became more serious, and his tone became less passionate and became more moderate and calm, "First, insurance Chairman of the Industry Self-Discipline Committee, Mr. Taylor!" He stopped and looked at Taylor. Taylor applauded very cooperatively, stood up, turned to look at all the people participating in the meeting, and bowed.
"Executive Chairman of the Insurance Industry Self-Regulatory Commission, Mr. Bellito."
"Insurance Industry Self-Regulatory Committee..."
"Insurance Industry Self-Regulatory Committee..."
"Confidential Archivist of the Insurance Industry Self-Regulatory Commission, Mr. Jackson!"
Under the gaze of many people, Mr. Jackson forced a smile, stood up and nodded in greeting. He sat down very quickly, almost nodding his head before sitting down immediately. The previous people all had nice titles and more or less real power, but when they came to him, he became a ruthless administrator. Even if the seemingly important word "confidential files" was added in front of it, he was An administrator.
This result was caused because he did not express his position. He did not express his loyalty to either Bellito or Taylor. There has never been any good results for being a mere wallflower. In the eyes of Bellito and Taylor, they wanted to Mr. Jackson, who wants to remain independent, is the most prominent one.
It looks like I can’t keep my monthly ticket, come on!
