Blackstone Code Chapter 56: The most terrifying force in society is oneself

How luxurious can an office be?

This question is nonsense, people have different understandings of luxury, there will be many different luxury, but this is a luxury room.

The gold-plated ceiling and natural crystal chandeliers, together with the bear head, lion head on the wall and two ivory as tall as a person on the display cabinet, such a "simple" decoration is enough to show how luxurious the decoration of this room is .

However, the contents of this office, like most offices, are the property of the company, and only a few personal items belong to the employees of the company who use this room.

His name is Joe Grimman, manager of the credit department of Jinhui Bank Sabine City Branch.

This kind of administrative manager and those outside customer managers are completely different concepts. He is still one step away from being promoted to the level of bank branch manager, but this step is difficult to overcome.

Unlike most official institutions, the second-ranked official at the local level will be promoted to the first-ranked position at the local level. Within Jinhui Bank, if Joe Grimman wants to be promoted, he will He may be transferred from the branch to the regional branch or the headquarters, and work hard at the middle and lower levels.

The meaning of the president is not as simple as the difference in the name. Of course, Joe Grimman never thought that he could become a president. Basically, this kind of thing will not happen with a high probability.

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 promotion road long, fortunately, he is very easy. Satisfied, satisfied with the status quo.

Just 42 years old, he has a successful career, his wife is young and beautiful, and his three children are all very lively and lovely. If there are not too many problems, he may be 48 years old in Sabine City, and then Transfer to a branch to make way for others.

The generous treatment at the bank made him never consider some of the problems after he was removed from an important position. The high benefits and high treatment were enough for him to live happily ever after.

Of course, anyone will have this or that little trouble, and it has nothing to do with their prosperity. The President of the Bailer Federation cannot be safe.

What worries Joe Grimman now is that the loan business volume in Sabine City has been declining, and the amount of business volume has no direct relationship with managers of his level.

Having done a lot, he may be talked about in meetings by the superiors of the branch.

Less completed, the unlucky ones are also the front-line loan-pulling account managers, although everyone is a manager.

But this is a bit unpleasant after all. At the end of each year, Jinhui Bank will have a paid public tour. Everyone works in the same group company, but they belong to different regions. working condition.

If they do well, they must be praised by others, 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 it won't be ridiculed by people, in the process of various comparisons, it will become a green leaf that sets off others, and that's not a good feeling at all.

He wants to solve these problems, but there is no way to do it. As one of the six major banks of the Baylor Federation, Jinhui Bank has a good understanding of the financial market and international economic trends. It has become their daily homework .

Since the end of the explosive economic development of the Baylor Federation 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-lived" silence after the outbreak. After the rising "rebound period" passes, 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 sting people's nerves, especially the explosive The growth dividend period gradually came to an end, and people began to come out of the blind audience. Under the seemingly prosperous surface of the entire Baylor Federation, there was an undercurrent surging.

In the past seven months of this year, Sabin City has registered more than 2,000 enterprises, and at the same time, more than 600 small, medium and micro enterprises have gone bankrupt and liquidated. It is not because the banks can't find anyone to borrow money, but because they do not dare to lend.

If you release it and can't get it back, it will be a big trouble. The above is nice. Every year, each branch will be given a part of the bad debt indicator, but if you really try to fill this indicator, you can change the entire branch with a single phone call. Personnel structure.

As the person who made the final approval, Joe Grimman was always very cautious. He would rather not release a penny or get kicked out. He would have to stay in this position for a few more years, waiting for his third All the children are grown up, and they should be arranged in the bank.

When people reach their age, when they don't have too many pursuits, they start to think about children's affairs, which is the case for most people.

While spending time at his desk reading some obscene magazines, one of the four phones in front of his desk rang. Private calls, only those who have a good relationship with him know the number, and adjusted his mood a little. After that, he answered the phone, "This is Joe Grimman..."

"It's me, Johnson, are you free at noon?" On the other end of the phone came the call of the local tax chief.

The bank's dealings with the tax bureau far exceed the number of times they greet the investigation bureau. Although they also deal with the investigation bureau a lot, they don't like the people in the investigation bureau.

On the contrary, the tax bureau is easier to get in touch with, which is mutually beneficial, especially the middle and high-level bankers. Their income is ten or even dozens of times that of others. How to legally avoid tax has become a headache for them. ~IndoMTL.com~ But it would be a lot easier if someone from the tax office came to help them sort out the materials.

In return, they will also give a very active cooperation to the tax bureau, and occasionally push some inside information, such as the recent good performance of a certain fund, the change of the board of directors of a listed company, etc.

Joe Grimman mostly came into contact with middle-level people like Michael. Johnson, he knew and had contact with him a few times, but the number and frequency of contact were very low.

When Johnson is in a position like Johnson, the Baylor Federal Supervision Department will check him from time to time to see if he is involved in a duty crime.

The federation does not pay much attention to grassroots and front-line staff. Even if these people use their power to commit crimes, the harm to the entire federation is extremely limited, but the main responsible person at the local level is different. Occupational crime, the loss caused is immeasurable.

If the Supervision Department has nothing to do, just stare at it and take a look. Even if Joe Grimman has a chance to sit down with Johnson and make friends, he will try his best to avoid suspicion.

This time it was the other party who came to him. He couldn't avoid it, he could only say that he was free.

Johnson invited him to lunch, a request that was honestly strange, they had no friendship, and it was clear that the other party was looking for him.

After hanging up the phone, he pondered for a long time and couldn't find the reason why Director Johnson suddenly invited him, so he could only prepare in advance with confusion.

On the other hand, Lynch and Johnson had already arrived at the meeting place twenty minutes before their appointment time.

Joe Grimman just took out his brain and then ate it and replenished it, but he couldn't figure out that Johnson was just a medium, and the one who really wanted to see him was Lynch, an ordinary little guy.
