"I can't reach the highest position, and the company has no shortage of people like me, but my last name doesn't allow me to be a middle-level person. People above me can't control it. People below me will have opinions, but I don't have the ability to do it rashly."

If I have a high position, I will be targeted and tricked to death sooner or later."

"It's okay to put on a name, but forget it if you really work." Hayden picked up a glass of wine and drank it down in one gulp. He stretched out his hand and gestured above his head: "Children of a big family have the same difficulties as children of a big family, or they are geniuses."

"Either we can just be a playboy." He reached out and knocked on the coffee table in front of him, "We don't have a middle range, and we are not qualified to live an ordinary life."

"Let's talk about Robert Jianguo. Old Jianguo had five sons, but it was the fourth son, Donald Jianguo, who took over the family business. Donald was only 25 years old that year, and Donald's three older brothers, including Robert, were just like me.

If you are not capable of that position, then just be a playboy."

"The same goes for Marvin Bush. He is now hanging out on Wall Street just in name. He doesn't need to take care of the family business at all, and he has no ability to do so."

"However, his brother George Bush is very powerful. Although he failed to run for Congress 7 years ago, his political ability has been demonstrated. He will definitely take over the family's political resources in the future."

"Of course, the Dolan family is another matter." Hayden pointed over there, "Old Dolan is the first generation, and the second generation only has three sons. If you are good, you must be good, and if you are not good, you must be good.

You can’t really leave it all to trust funds and professional managers, right?”

"Do you really think those professional managers will help you run the industry honestly?"

"Don't be kidding. Capitalists with 300% profit dare to sell the rope to hang themselves to others. What's more, in this situation, there are too many ways to transfer benefits. You don't need to be smart. If you let me manage it

In five years, I can completely wipe out a company."

"If you can't control your power yourself and give your full strength to others, don't think about getting it back easily."

Sean has no doubt about this. There are no good people among capitalists, and the same goes for professional managers.

Walt Disney is the best example. He founded the Disney Company, but after Walt Disney's death, after 20 years of operation, the Disney family completely withdrew from Disney.

None of the shares are gone.

After some management of your work, you now owe the company 3 million...

At night, Hayden was very relaxed, as if he and Sean had been brothers since childhood. He would say whatever Sean asked.

Nothing to hide.

Quite a bachelor!

Sean finally figured out that Hayden was not really close to him, but was making it clear that he wanted to build a brotherly relationship with him.

As expected of being cultivated by a big family, when he wants to make friends with you, even if you know that the other person intends to make friends, you can't refuse.

Besides, Sean didn't want to refuse.

According to what Hayden just said, the Rockefeller family is either a genius and you rise to power, or it is just a playboy.

Sean thinks he is a genius!

After playing until about 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, Sean was a little drunk, so he got up to say goodbye.

He wouldn't let himself get drunk outside.

Before leaving, Sean agreed with Hayden that when his "Peace Hotel" is built in two months, he would invite him to come and support it.

Hayden was so drunk that he staggered when he walked, and he didn't know if he remembered it.

I took Diane Lane all the way back to Newark in the car.

I really want to buy a house in New York...

…

Sean rested at home for a few days.

In fact, it doesn't count as a rest. I have been staying at the base these past few days. The security company has expanded and recruited nearly a hundred people from veterans.

Although they are all hand-picked by Sean, they still need to get in touch with them more and become familiar with them.

These people are different from employees of other companies under my name.

It is true to cultivate as many relationships as possible.

Of course, benefits cannot be lacking.

At the security company, the salary that soldiers receive is only twice that of ordinary workers and 1.5 times higher than that in the military.

It may not seem high, but in fact, the various benefits are very good.

In this regard, Sean drew on some of the experience of later generations and the practices of Little Japan.

As long as their working years are up, the security company will provide pension services and medical services to all soldiers.

That's really worry-free.

While getting acquainted with the American soldiers at the base, Sean was not idle either.

Originally, I wanted to delay joining the New Jersey local consortium until I became stronger.

However, after going to Colombia this time, this matter must be brought forward.

Just in time, I came back to attend Brother Cheap Brother's birthday party. Since the other party said he could provide some help with connections, Sean would naturally not be polite.

The next day, after he had sobered up, Sean called Hayden. He wanted to buy a bank, a small bank would do.

But there must be some local business in New Jersey.

Sean now has many companies under his name, and they are relatively scattered. It has reached the point where he needs a bank to provide financial services.

It is not unreasonable for large financial groups in modern society to be centered on banks.

It can only be said that Rockefeller is Rockefeller, even if he is not as good as before, even if he is a branch family, even if he is a playboy, his connections are really wide.

In just three days, Hayden helped Sean find a bank.

A small bank with assets of only around US$8 million and managed funds of over US$30 million.

Even though the bank may not be big, its business scope is quite large.

In addition to the normal deposit business and loan business, it also provides foreign exchange trading, trade financing, structured financing, leasing, etc. It feels like a small but complete company.

It was only after Sean was actually preparing to acquire the bank that he learned about the specific classification and business of the bank.

Business is roughly divided into three categories: liability business, asset business, and intermediary business.

Liability business is the main source of funds, mainly customer deposits and derivative deposits, accounting for more than 80% of the source of funds. In addition, joint bank deposits, interbank deposits, borrowed or placed funds or bond issuances, etc., also constitute the bank's liabilities.

Asset business is the business of commercial banks using funds, including loan business, securities investment business, and cash asset business.

Intermediary business includes transaction business, clearing business, payment and settlement business, bank card business, agency business, custody business, guarantee business, commitment business, financial management business, etc.

The other party has entered a bottleneck period due to financial problems. Of course, even so, the other party has no intention of selling the bank.

But in the final analysis, capitalists are all about making money, and it doesn't matter whether they open a bank or not.

Hayden Lobbying said that the other party will make more money if they take the money, and there is no need to hang themselves in the bank.

On the other hand, Sean was not stingy here. After learning that the other party intended to sell the company as a whole, he directly threw money at it and bought it at a premium of 20%.

Generally, in industries with better progress, the premium is only 10-15%. With Sean's approach, the other party...

I think I'll raise the price a bit more.

Capitalist?

The other party counter-offered 25%. I thought Sean would bargain, but Sean agreed directly on the phone without saying anything.

As the middleman, Sean was so generous, and Hayden felt very dignified.

After all, he is a playboy and a respectable person.

No matter whether the other party thinks that Sean is taken advantage of, once the verbal agreement is made, there is no regrets.

Sean flew directly to New York on a Black Hawk the next day.

The other bank's headquarters was in the World Trade Center, which was one of the protagonists of 9/11.

I rented an office space on the 65th floor of the World Trade Center, which happened to have a helicopter landing pad, so Sean's big black hawk finally had a place to be used!

Lamb also arrived with a team from PricewaterhouseCoopers to clear the bank's various accounts. This process will probably take a few days. Once everything is done, the name can be changed.

Lamb and others started busy with the bank employees, while Hayden fell in love with Sean's Black Hawk.

It's not like there are private helicopters like Hayden, but they are ordinary ones, and they are completely different concepts from the military version like Sean.

Rich people do not mean they will spend money arbitrarily. A bare-metal military version of the Black Hawk costs more than 4 million, and I have bought several ordinary helicopters.

Moreover, ordinary civilian helicopters have lower noise, are more comfortable to ride, and have lower requirements for take-off and landing sites. There are few people like Sean.

What's more, when Hayden heard that Sean also had a fully-armed aircraft equipped with Hellfire missiles and rockets, his eyes suddenly started to gleam.

As a qualified dandy, there is nothing they haven't done before including eating, drinking, prostitution, gambling and smoking, and there are also some more exciting ones.

I have also played with various firearms at the shooting range.

But, in the end, those things are just for fun!

It's on the same level as Sean.

The things played by Hayden and his gang of second and third generations would be quite unappreciable when compared to Sean.

At this moment, Hayden felt how those ordinary people felt when they looked at them.
