Li Zetian is now complacent and has invested in Japanese real estate, and now he has acquired 20th Century Fox, Carl Zeiss, and Trumpf. He is in a good mood.
On this day, he went to Wells Fargo, one of his core businesses.
All major consortiums have used banks to operate capital in order to control other companies. Of course, Li Zetian wants to follow suit. He came this time to borrow money from sprint to acquire gte, the largest local telephone independent company in the United States.
After coming out of the building of Wells Fargo Bank, I saw a middle-aged man sitting on the steps with a decadent face at the door. He was dressed very well, wearing a high-end black suit, with extraordinary temperament, and he didn't look like an ordinary person.
Originally, Li Zetian did not intend to meddle in his own business. However, he glanced at the man one more time and felt a little impressed, but he couldn't remember it.
Li Zetian suddenly stopped, thinking that the foreigner who can make a little impression may be a well-known person in the future.
He thought for a while, stepped forward, and asked, "Hello, sir, it's already December, and the weather is cold. Why are you sitting on the ground? It's easy to catch a cold!"
When the man looked up and saw that the person talking to him was Li Zetian, he looked very surprised, "Oh, hello, chronos·li!!!"
"Who are you? How are you sitting on the ground?" Li Zetian asked again.
The man replied, "My name is Sandy Weir, a former executive at American Express, who was in charge of the planned takeover of Bank of America... but it failed. Was forced to resign after failing to get the Firefighters Fund out of trouble! I came to Wells Fargo for an interview today, the interviewer felt that my mental state was not good, and I had not recovered from the previous failure, so I went home and rested for a while... But I have been unemployed for six months. !"
Sandy Weir can be an executive in the Express Company, and naturally he is not short of money, but he does not want to spend his life in silence. People can't be mediocre in life, they must do meaningful things!
Li Zetian recalled the name "Sandy Weir" in his heart, trying to let himself know who he was.
After thinking for a while, I suddenly startled myself.
Could it be that Sandy Weir is the legend of Wall Street, the founder of Traveler Group, and the super-powerful financial king who later merged with Citibank
Li Zetian was an orphan in his previous life and suffered from poverty. When he grew up, he longed for wealth very much. He had read many biographies of famous people, including "Bill Gates Biography", "Jobs Biography", "Li Jiacheng", "Andrew Carnegie Autobiography", "Jack Welch", "38 Letters from Rockefeller to His Son", etc., I also read a little about Sandy Weir's autobiography. This person is the founder of the Traveler Group, the king of capital, With the same iron hand, Citigroup finally dominated the entire financial world in an unprecedented way.
At this moment, Li Zetian couldn't help thinking of the words of General Electric CEO Jack Welch: "Sandy Weir is the kind of person who can make money with air, and his experience is as incredible as a myth!"
Talent ah talent!
Li Zetian's eyes lit up, "Mr. Will, do you have time to have a cup of coffee together now?"
Sandy Will felt disbelief, and quickly responded: "There is time!"
"Okay, then let's take a seat at the nearby cafe."
"Um."
Before long, the two came to Starbucks.
On the way, Li Zetian pondered that Sandy Weir also had a protégé, Jamie Dimon, who was exiled from the Express Company with him. This man was a genius in the financial world, not inferior to Sandy Wilson. The two then parted ways and Jamie Dimon became the new CEO of JPMorgan Chase, the world's most feared banker.
Again, don't put eggs in one basket! Each consortium has multiple banks, and Li Zetian will not only have Wells Fargo. Meeting Sandy Weir today, Li Zetian couldn't help but think about Citibank.
Sitting down in an elegant position by the window, Li Zetian said slowly: "Mr. Sandy Weir, I plan to establish a life and property insurance company. I wonder if you are willing to come and help me?"
The Traveler Company in the previous life was originally a life and property insurance company. Later, it expanded its business scope to investment banking, commercial credit, financing services and other fields by acquiring an American investment bank. Li Zetian also planned to take it step by step.
In addition, the insurance industry is very profitable. There are thirty or forty insurance companies in the world's top 500, and they are ranked very high. Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway is a world-renowned insurance and diversified investment group in the United States.
Insurance companies play a vital role in financial stability. Powerful insurance companies are too big to fail, and even the government dares not sit idly by and even invest huge sums of money to save them, so as to avoid the huge disaster caused by the collapse of the company. The chain reaction causes more serious harm to society as a whole!
When Sandy Weir heard Li Zetian's invitation, she was very excited, her face flushed red, she drank the coffee, and said, "In the face of your invitation, Mr. Li, there are probably very few people in the world who refuse! I am very willing to be with you. Do your work!!"
Li Zetian smiled lightly on his face, but he was very happy in his heart.
"Sandy Will, you should rest at home for the past two days. I will send my secretary to contact you later to discuss the specific details of setting up an umbrella insurance company. You are the CEO of the company. By the way, you are also an old man in the industry. Now, is there anyone I need to recommend?" Li Zetian asked deliberately.
"Yes, his name is Jamie Dimon, and he's a financial genius!"
Li Zetian heard the words, and the smile on his face became even stronger, "Very good, then let him come with you!"
"Um..." Sandy Weir nodded in response without doubting him.
After leaving the cafe, Li Zetian called him for contact information.
In the coffee shop just now, Dongfang Yuqin couldn't speak directly, but now in the car, Dongfang Yuqin frowned and asked, "Mr.li, Sandy Weir was a failure in the company, and even got kicked out of the company. , are you sure he can be the CEO of Umbrella Insurance Company?"
Li Zetian smiled, with confidence in his laughter, "How do you say it? 'Failure is the mother of success', it is precisely because he has failed that he succeeds! I believe he will not disappoint me. From the first time I saw him, I felt that this person was unusual, and there was an unyielding stubbornness in his eyes, and it was this stubbornness that made me think he could succeed!"
Li Zetian is serious nonsense.
Dongfang Yuqin nodded and stopped asking. She actually believed in Li Zetian's eyesight, and it could even be said that she blindly believed Li Zetian.
Li Zetian continued: "In the next period of time, your hard work, and Sandy Weir together to set up the umbrella insurance company."
"OK."
"Driver, go to the sprint company."
Finance is Dongfang Yuqin's major, and she got an MBA degree in business administration. Li Zetian is just a college dropout. Although he has also studied finance by himself, he still does not understand anything that is too professional. There is a specialization in the surgery industry, and a person's energy is limited. The superior only needs to learn to employ people!
