how i bought the whole world

Chris has been watching me.

He inadvertently looked at me many times today, and every time his eyes stayed on my chin, and when I looked at him, he looked away again. When Brandon was excited, he bit deeply (but it didn't hurt), As a result, a light red tooth mark was left on it. Although we did some emergency treatment the next morning, we can still see the light mark that has not faded completely.

I coughed, "Chris, can you stop looking at me?"

As the most trusted deputy of the group, it is very eye-catching to be openly distracted in the meeting. Of course, Brandon is similar, but his behavior is slightly more plausible than Chris-on the surface, he does not squint, looking at the projection with a serious expression The presenter at the ceremony reported, but I actually took a peek at him to remember the notes, on which he had drawn an angry bird with a water-based pen.

"Of course, boss, if you come to the meeting with a smooth face, maybe I won't ignore that this is a shareholder meeting." Chris came back to his senses and said jokingly, his accent was on' Smooth' on the word. "But who told you to reveal your wonderful private life, I bet half of the people in this room are secretly jealous of you.

"Let them be jealous, it's what they deserve." I said bitterly, "I wouldn't be here at all today. Brandon and I have planned to go to Italy, we will live in Italy for a few days, and then Go to France to stay for half a month, and maybe go to Asia in the middle. If it weren't for Bennett's phone call, we would already be on the plane to Europe... So you should feel grateful that your boss didn't Just playing by himself, leaving everyone else alone, he sticks to his post, even if he is on vacation, he is willing to come back to listen to super boring meetings..."

"Please keep your voice down, William." Brandon, who knows my personality well, has a headache, "It's still in the middle of the meeting, and everyone is sitting quietly listening to your assistant's report. Others hear it, otherwise your image in their hearts will be greatly reduced."

"Which sentence?" I smiled, "Is it a boring meeting or learning to be grateful?"

"There are, anyway please shut up."

I obediently shut up.

This kind of shareholder meeting has no practical significance. It just reports the various situations of WF Group and its subsidiaries to all shareholders. There are dozens of large and small shareholders of WF. Their equity is very small and they have no actual decision-making power. , so there is only one meeting a quarter to bring them together.In the past, I would hand over such meetings to Brandon to travel instead of me. Anyway, he knows all my work plans and can answer different questions from shareholders. I have to say that shareholders’ questions afterwards are always very stupid and pointless. I don't like explaining exactly what my intentions are for each resolution.

There were about [-] people in the meeting. Apart from the shareholders and their lawyers, there were also WF financial analysts, traders and representatives of various departments. Each shareholder sits on the position with their nameplate written on it, which is generally far away from the reporting platform.

Among them, there is a nameplate with Bennett's name written on it, but the person sitting on it is not Bennett's lawyer I often see before, but a man in his 30s.

I guess this is Bennett's other nephew, Jack.Bennett.

The reason for saying this is because this man looks very similar to Bennett, with a chubby figure, fat face and stubby fingers. He sits like a large potato in a suit. I tried to squeeze myself into the seat that was not very vacant, and when he raised his head, I was more sure of this idea after seeing his facial features clearly—Little Bennett looks very much like the younger version of Bennett, not only in appearance, but also And actions and speech, of course, whether he was as clever as his uncle, we don't know.

But speaking of it, little Bennett's luck is also bad. If he were in Huaguo, he would not need to worry about his inheritance rights at all, because there must be people from the generation of grandparents supporting his grandson to take over the property of his uncle who has no heirs. , but here is the United States, blood relationship is not very important, each of these rich children has their own trust fund, to ensure that they have food and drink in their lives, so there is no need to be the leader of the company to guarantee their own right.Compared with the continuation of the family, the founders of each company are more concerned about whether the next successor they choose can maintain the company, so Bennett will linger between his wife's nephew and his own nephew.

I have never been in contact with Bennett, so I couldn't help but look at him a few times. When I met Bennett earlier, he said that his nephew Jack is a hot-tempered person. Now he looks exactly like Bennett. It is consistent with what Te said - during the meeting, he poked the cap of the pen from time to time, or tapped the table with his bent knuckles, and then turned sideways to talk to the lawyer beside him. This obviously absent-minded look is different from Other shareholders concerned about the company's financial issues.

I thought maybe at the same time I was evaluating him as a good collaborator, he was also evaluating me to see if I met the criteria he needed to win over.

I frowned involuntarily.

After the meeting.Little Bennet stood up, as if looking for an opportunity to speak to me.

This is what I expected, so instead of walking away after the meeting, I stayed for a while and waited for him to come over.

Sure enough, after the person had almost left, the other party slowly walked to my side. After some exchange of pleasantries, little Bennett started the topic, and he mainly told me one thing.Two months later, Bennett will announce his retirement to the outside world. Although he is no longer in charge, he is still the CEO in name, and after he officially announces his resignation, Chaofan Wisdom Investment Company will definitely There will be several difficulties, first, difficulty in raising funds, second, loss of confidence of shareholders, volatile stocks, and third, tension in cooperation projects.

He is right. The old Bennett’s identity is not just the founder of Chaofan Wisdom Investment. He is actually the symbol of Chaofan Wisdom Investment. The Great Depression survived the Cold War period and the financial crisis of the 90s. In the eyes of many people, he is the extraordinary company, and the extraordinary company is him. This also caused Bennett to suddenly fall ill. Rumors of his departure continued.I have heard a lot of rumors in the past few days, and even some timid investors have started to withdraw their capital injections in Chaofan Company, lest the stock price will drop and evaporate assets. If Bennett hadn't controlled a part of my stock , I also urgently need his part of the equity in Fantasy World Group to support me. I will probably stop my transactions in his company during his retirement. Not only me, many people will do this, there is no permanent We must first protect our own interests before we are not sure whether the successor of the other party can support a company.

Little Bennett came here to consolidate his position in Chaofan Wisdom Investment Company. Bennett gave him the position of deputy general manager of the sales department, and his subordinates controlled the profits of some subsidiaries. This is not a very lucrative place. He It needs the trust of other investors to be able to obtain greater rights. For this reason, he couldn’t wait to seek help from all aspects, and even drew a big pie for me, claiming that if I would express my willingness to cooperate with him in front of Bennett , then he can give me a profit in the loan cooperation with WF in the future.

My heart moved, one layer of profit, isn't that the number of ten percent?

Little Bennett’s move was a big one. In order to gain the support of everyone, he was able to reduce his IDE interest. You must know that various financial investment business transactions are very frequent. I’m afraid he can give me a layer of interest. Others have said so, otherwise it would be meaningless to just recruit me alone, but this move is also quite dangerous, which means that their monthly profits will drop, which will not only make shareholders dissatisfied, but also dozens of executives of the company It's not easy to explain, isn't he afraid that his company will be in a cash flow crisis?

"Jack, please forgive me for calling you that." I smiled, "I like your proposal very much. If we can cooperate, I am willing to be your supporter. But I heard that your uncle has more than one nephew and you , There is also a young man from Huaguo who also enjoys his inheritance rights, how can I be sure that you have the right to fulfill your promise to me in the future?" If old Bennett left his shares to Gu Anning in the end, then Jack.Bennett's words can only be empty words.

Embarrassment flashed across his face, "Mr. Field, my surname is Bennett, isn't it? The entire Chaofan Investment is my uncle's business, and his heirs are of course members of the Bennett family. I guarantee that person will not be us." Difficulties in cooperation."

When he said this, he was a little unconfident at the beginning, but then he seemed to think that what he said was an established fact, and soon his fighting spirit became high. It can be seen that little Bennet thinks that these words are enough to touch my heart, plus The above conditions must be able to draw me to his side, but in fact it is the opposite. When I heard what he said, I didn't feel touched in my heart. I just thought it was funny. I raised my eyebrows and glanced at the standing Brandon next to me, Brandon was expressionless, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

I smiled and said, "Jack, I really want to believe you, but the next holder is determined by your uncle, not your surname, so it's useless for you to persuade me now, understand? Take Show me something practical. If I were you, I'd prove myself by showing a more competent side. Well, if nothing else, let me ask you a question. You know you What are the two most profitable businesses of Uncle's Company?"

He seemed to be taken aback by my question, and thought for a while, "Why do you suddenly ask...well, if you want to know, it's probably Renaissance Hedge Fund and LRC Hedge Fund."

I looked at him with regret. If I was not sure what kind of person the other party was at the beginning, then now I can be sure that this Jack Bennett is an idiot.

"Fuxing and LRC are indeed two hedge funds with huge profits, but they are not subsidiaries of Chaofan Investment, they are just one of the clients trading under its name. Chaofan Investment provides client platforms and financing strategies for Fuxing and LRC, and does not own Exercising the right. The most profitable business in your uncle's company is mortgage lending and financial investment. Sorry Jack, if I were you, I would first make sure that I understand all the businesses of Extraordinary."

Jack.Bennett's face was a bit embarrassed, he muttered, "I will understand these things naturally when I have all the shares in the company. After all, do you plan to cooperate with me? My offer is very favorable of."

I said calmly, "I will consider it. After all, your treatment really touches my heart, but before I make every decision, I will discuss it with my team first."

After little Bennett left, I sat next to Brandon in a bit of confusion," Bennett said, his nephew and Gu Anning were both excellent young men, and it was difficult for him to choose between them. Why do I feel that his nephew is an idiot?"

Brandon gave me a sideways glance, "Are you so confident in your old lover's abilities? Maybe he's on the same level as little Bennett?"

Hmm, that sounds a bit sour.

I couldn't help but leaned forward and kissed his face, Chris walked out quickly with an expression of 'I'm not a light bulb', and closed the door, I laughed, "I care so much? I can Deny Bennett's request immediately if you really don't like our contact."

"It's not that the other party has benefits for you, you don't need to deliberately stay away from him to avoid suspicion." Hearing what I said, Brandon took a breath, "And given Mr. Bennet's current situation, it would be too cool to reject him , let's grant his last wish."

Brandon's words are very reasonable, it can be seen that he is uncomfortable, but he still understands the truth in his heart.But in order to avoid the estrangement between us, I decided to express my loyalty again, "Honey, even if you say that, I still want to tell you that I was a complete fool in the past, when the pursuer only looked at the other person's appearance, If you look good, you will like it in your heart, but now I understand that the inside is a hundred times more important than the appearance."

Brandon didn't say much when I spoke, but after hearing what I said, his eyes suddenly narrowed, "You mean, my appearance doesn't meet your aesthetics, it's just because I'm smart and talented enough Connotation, are you dating me?"

"...I didn't say that."

"That's what you mean."

"Really not." I broke out in a cold sweat.

Brandon stared at me for a few seconds, as if to see if I was lying, and I tried to look at him with innocent eyes. My mother said I was perfect at this trick.Every time I get into trouble I use this look on my brother and my father and they always give in.Sure enough, it didn't take long for Brandon to look away, "Well, I believe you."

I breathe a sigh of relief.

"Nevertheless," Brandon added at this point, "I'm still not happy."

I looked at him cautiously, "So, honey, how do you want to be happy?"

"I want you to bring me with you whenever you meet Mr. Gu, no matter how bad it is, you must report all your conversations to me." Brandon looked at me coldly and said, "I think unless Mr. Gu suddenly loses his mind Qing, the person who will be our partner will definitely not be that little Bennett, and I don't want my boyfriend and his former suitor to have the opportunity to be in the same room."

I immediately nodded yes, if Brandon wasn't going to meet my future partner with me, who else would I go with?You must know that now I cannot leave him regardless of work or life.But his words also reminded me of a fact.When it comes to collaborators, I don't seem to have a choice.

Pause for two seconds, I seemed to think of something, suddenly something clapped my hands, "Ah! I was slapped by that old fox Bennett again, he lied to me!"

……

Bennett's intention has always been Gu Anning.And not his nephew Jack.

When I called Bennett, he finally admitted as much. "Well, since you said so, so do I. Antonio is indeed Bijack, otherwise why would I be willing to bring him to attend."

I was a little angry for a while. "Mr. Bennet, are you kidding me? Since you already have a successor, why do you let me make this decision for you?"

Bennett asked me calmly, "Field, if I told you that I hope you will support Antonio and suppress Jack as a partner and shareholder of Extraordinary after I leave, would you go into this muddy water?"

"...", I didn't speak.

Bennett smiled wryly, "You won't, right? Because it has nothing to do with you, even if I exchange more benefits with you, you will be less interested in it." He paused, "But, let You pick out a collaborator yourself and support him to become a leader. I think you will be very interested. You will not miss the sense of accomplishment of being able to decide the future life and death of a company that does not belong to you. And say To be honest, the relationship between Antonio and you is not ordinary, I don't think you will have the heart to see him in trouble and let him go."

Bennett understands my psychology very well. He knows that I like challenges and adventures. If there is anything I am interested in, it is undoubtedly a game where I can decide the ending. It’s just that I don’t like someone calculating me like this. It made me feel very uncomfortable.
