Chapter 825: Take the leap of a lifetime on a skyscraper! [Third update, first update]
"Is there something wrong with the economic data released by various countries?" Eunice looked at the president and said this in a loud voice.
Darren smiled and shook his head, denying Eunice's view, "The data released by various countries are real data. This cannot be faked, because you cannot change the international trade data as a country."
"This kind of phenomenon may have happened in the past, but this kind of thing will not happen in modern times."
"Now that we have entered the digital age, international economic data and statistics are current affairs, especially a country's import and export data. There are too many institutions focusing on this type of data."
"Then why is there such a contradictory situation?" Eunice said this in confusion.
Darren took a serious look at Eunice, thought for a while and asked, "How long has it been since you last contacted Gao Jin, chairman of Xingling Group, and how long have you not seen this big customer of yours?"
Eunice was stunned. Does not contacting Gao Jin have something to do with this matter?
Looking up at the CEO's eyes, Eunice felt a little embarrassed. She hadn't called Gao Jin for several months. She didn't know why, but she felt constrained and uncomfortable in front of Gao Jin.
“It’s been months.”
"President, I feel very uncomfortable in front of him. When his eyes look at me, I feel like everything in my heart has been seen through by him. This feeling."
Eunice said that she couldn't go on talking anymore, and she believed that the president immediately understood the meaning of her words.
Darren shook his head and smiled, took off his eyes, looked at Eunice and said, "Go make two cups of coffee and bring them over."
Eunice immediately stood up and got busy. There was coffee in Darren's office. Eunice knew very well about Darren's preferences.
It didn't take long, and I came back with two cups of coffee. Darren took it and took a sip. It tasted pretty good, and it was my favorite taste.
"Do you know how I became the president of Stamford Bank?" Darren put down his coffee and said, and Eunice shook her head.
"Eunice, your starting point is higher than mine, but it is precisely because of this that you have missed many training sessions."
"When I graduated from college, my first bank job was not at Stamford Bank, but at the National Bank of the United States. I was just a small clerk."
"I spent three very difficult years there. During these three years, my monthly salary in the first year was only a quarter of that of a normal employee."
“The work done is more than twice that of normal employees”
"In the second year, I only received a full-time employee salary that was 20% lower than that of older employees, but I did no less work."
"In the third year, I did more work in the first half of the year. In the second half of the year, before Christmas, I was squeezed out and resigned."
"Looking back now, I am very grateful for those three years. The three years of hardships made me enlightened and made me understand that in the game field of society, you do not have a future if you work hard and work hard."
"Then I applied for a job at Stamford Bank. I disposed of all my properties in the United States and even sold my parents' house without telling them."
"I left the United States with my money. My parents lost their house and were renting a house. They knew that I was the one who sold the house, so they could keep the house without admitting that they overturned the agreement."
"It's just that if I do this, I will be wanted by the police for fraud!"
"They did not look for me, but quietly moved out of the house and found another house to rent. My mother, who was not working at home, also started to work again to make money to pay the rent."
"I have set a three-year goal for myself. I must rise within three years and buy a bigger and better house after three years to make up for my debt to my parents!"
"If you can't do it, just take the leap of your life from a skyscraper!"
"In Stamford Bank, I worked as an ordinary employee for a whole year. After a year of hesitation, I invited my boss to dinner and drinks without any hesitation. After a year, I was recommended to join the key account department."
"The rules of the bank's key account department were different at that time than they are now, but one thing is the same, and that is to accept deposits!"
"As an employee of the Key Accounts Department, you must convince the wealthy to let them deposit their profits in Stamford Bank. If you cannot do this, you are not suitable to work in the Key Accounts Department of Stamford Bank."
"In the first month, I visited seventeen customers, but none of them closed a deal."
"Don't think it's easy to meet seventeen customers. It's very difficult. They live in several countries. It's really difficult to meet them."
"Furthermore, according to bank rules, if you have no trading volume this month, half of your business trip expenses will be deducted, and you will bear this part of the loss yourself."
"In the first month, I lost more than $2,000. You have to know, that was more than $2,000 in the 1960s."
"The U.S. dollar in that era was the U.S. dollar, and the U.S. dollar was linked to gold."
"I spent my remaining funds to treat a colleague who had worked in the key account department for several years to dinner, and gave him a gift I purchased while eating."
"In exchange for a piece of advice from him"
"Instead of visiting so many customers, you should do your homework and keep a close eye on one target customer. As long as this customer deposits money in the bank, there will be no problem with your travel expenses, salary, and bonus this month."
"If you want to climb to a higher floor, you must first ensure that you will not starve to death on the current floor!"
"His words enlightened me, and I started frantically researching the customer information in my hand to find a customer I could win."
"Finally, I selected a customer, Daniel Mars, President of Mars Group in the United States."
"At that time, Daniel had just fallen out with Southern Bank, a long-term bank in the United States. Mars at that time was not as large as it is now. They were just a sugar company with slightly better profits."
"In the United States at that time, there were too many companies like Mars, so many that you didn't even care."
"I flew to the United States overnight, bought a fake cargo plane ticket, and flew to the United States with the cargo." Darren smiled bitterly when he said this. The hardships of flying in those days are unimaginable to modern people.
"After arriving in the United States, I did not go to see Daniel immediately. Instead, I started collecting intelligence from the outside and spent two weeks."
"At this time, I rashly went to Daniel's house to visit him."
"This time when we talked, I was very direct and confessed the situation I was facing. I hope we can help each other."
“Mars needs funds to develop, and I need customer deposits to develop in a bank.”
"I made a promise beyond my authority. As long as Daniel deposits money in the bank for two months, I will help him get a loan in the third month."
"After hearing this, he smiled and sent me away from home. Later, I visited him every two days."
"This situation lasted until two days before the end of the month, when Daniel agreed. We went to the New York Stamford Bank branch together and made the first deposit of US$50,000!"
"That's it, I survived. When I got my salary, margin payment, and bonus on the 1st, I specially treated Daniel to a meal."
"I just want to ask a question, why did he agree to me, why should he trust me, a young man who is nothing!"
"You know what he said?"
"He said that the first impression I gave him was that of a well-prepared liar who planned to make a fortune from him."
"It was only after I called him four times in a row that he arranged for someone to investigate me and confirm my identity before he cooperated with me."
"He wanted to take a gamble and give me a chance to see if I could get him a $300,000 loan in the third month."
"If I can do it, he will introduce me to more companies. These companies are about the same size as Mars, but they are not as big as Mars, but they are difficult to win the favor of banks."
“After some conversations, I discovered an opportunity that changed my destiny, that is, many well-run businesses are in desperate need of capital.”
“But their scale is small and it is difficult for them to get the favor of banks and thus cannot obtain funds.”
"If they can get enough funding, they can definitely develop and become a big company."
"After the chat, I returned to the Bank of Bermuda, wrote a report based on the information I analyzed, and shamelessly went to my superior Mike."
"In exchange for a scolding, in his eyes, my report is worthless, and those small businesses are worthless."
"I didn't give up and took the risk to visit the then bank president, Mr. Johnson, at his home."
"Mr. Johnson chatted with me, then looked at my plan, and then asked me a lot of questions, and I answered all of them in the affirmative."
“Including questions about customers being unable to repay their loans on time, we asked them all.”
"I said I guarantee it, and I will be responsible for recovering the loan I made. If it cannot be recovered, the bank can do whatever it wants with me!"
"This statement sounded ridiculous, but Mr. Johnson laughed at the time and made the decision to give me a chance!"
"That same month, I completed a loan of 300,000 US dollars with Daniel, which surprised Daniel very much. At the same time, it also affirmed my value."
"Next, Daniel helped introduce more than 20 of my clients, and we established enough friendships."
"And I also started to work exclusively with small companies with great potential, and asked them to put their company accounts and personal deposits in Stamford Bank."
“When they need a loan, I will help them with the problem.”
"That's it, after one year, my monthly salary reached 15,000 US dollars."
"Another year later, when I returned home, the first thing I did was to kneel in front of my parents and ask for their forgiveness. After receiving their forgiveness, we selected and purchased a new property together."
"Give parents monthly payments so they don't have to work anymore."
"With the passage of time, a large number of companies that I cooperated with have developed, especially Mars Group, which has become a multinational enterprise, a giant in the global sugar industry and candy product sales."
"I also gradually improved my status in the bank, thus achieving the status of vice president."
"When the old bank president was about to retire, our six bank vice presidents competed for the position of president. At the critical moment, these customers of mine stepped up."
"After Mars developed and became one of the shareholders of the bank, I made my request to Daniel. I wanted to become the president."
"Daniel helped me meet with several major shareholders of the bank at the time. It was with their help that I became the president of the bank."
"Although there have been many changes in bank shareholders over the years, my position has never wavered because they know my friendship with Daniel."
"After listening to what I said, how do you feel?" After Darren finished speaking, he looked at Eunice, who had a thoughtful expression on her face.
