Start by trimming cow hooves

After being a co-head of Goldman Sachs for so long, David Levin wants to climb the ladder one more time.

Over coffee, he half-jokingly half-seriously told Suri:

"I am competing with one of the company's deputy chief investment officers for the position of chief investment officer at Goldman Sachs headquarters. At that time, I will join the company's investment decision-making committee and enjoy a higher dividend ratio and more power."

"If I fail, I probably won't be able to keep my current position."

"How about I come over to join you then? Arrange for me a high-paying, easy-going position in your family office. Everyone in Chinatown knows that following you will have the best future."

Suri has always been generous in terms of salary and benefits.

The average salary of his family office is far ahead on Wall Street. He never recruits openly and only recruits the most experienced top talents through headhunting.

If someone gets an offer from the Ineffable Family Foundation, nine out of ten people will not refuse, and the employees who come in privately say it's really great.

For some middle-level managers, the starting salary is at the million-dollar level, and there are also year-end bonuses, option awards, priority subscription of original shares, business commissions and other benefits.

For example, when Netflix Entertainment went public, Secretary Amanda got some priority opportunities to purchase original shares at low prices. Now the total value of these shares has exceeded 4 million US dollars.

Some managers of the Ineffable Family Foundation originally received more subscription shares than Secretary Amanda.

A few days ago, S Electric Vehicle Company went public with financing. Many family foundations and employees of S Electric Vehicle Company also enjoyed similar low-price subscription benefits. A group of people who have been with Suri all year round, including Amanda’s secretary and bodyguards , the housekeeper of the family, etc. also followed suit and subscribed for the company's shares at a low price.

Wall Street companies have always been ruthless, and Goldman Sachs Group is among the best.

When an employee can bring huge returns to the company, he will indeed enjoy a super high salary, but as long as there are some problems, even if he climbs to the position of senior partner, he will be kicked out immediately.

Suri understood David Levine’s concerns and immediately nodded and said:

"No problem. I believe in your ability, experience and connections. Where does the guy who competes with you come from?"

"."

After a few seconds of pause, David Levin covered his face and replied:

"The nephew of a director of the company, many relatives in the family are senior executives at Boeing, the Federal Reserve, and Fidelity Fund. Although I feel that this time the odds are against me, I still want to give it a try."

No need to guess.

Suri immediately thought of that circle that cannot be mentioned in the United States.

With the attitude of just watching the excitement, he said to David Levine:

"I admire your courage. It seems that I can help you arrange a position in advance now. You also know that they always like to family-style the business and never hand over senior management positions to outsiders easily."

David Levine said speechlessly:

"Then what should I do? It's over before it even starts, and I'll have to rely on flattery to survive in the future? Since I became the co-head of Goldman Sachs' investment banking department, my performance has been very good. This is my biggest advantage."

Suri shrugged and tasted the caramel macchiato in the cup. He felt that the coffee, milk and caramel flavors were all moderate, and it tasted better than expected.

He went on to tell David Levine: "This is mainly due to luck, it happened to coincide with the economic recovery, and the consensus among advisors was that a new bull market had begun."

".Although this is true, you can't deny that I am indeed more capable than other competitors."

When David Levin said these words, he felt very unsure.

After all, if we really only looked at ability, how could Hollywood, Silicon Valley, Wall Street, Washington, and many other industries including news media and financial management fall into decline one after another, leaving many outsiders with no chance to get ahead.

Even a billionaire real estate developer in New York used to recruit a wealthy son-in-law in his previous life. He winked at certain small circles and extended an olive branch without caring about his appearance. This shows how terrifying the power of small circles is.

If Suri hadn't been an A-list superstar himself, accumulated enough wealth in advance, and recruited some allies early on, I'm afraid that Netflix Entertainment would have been robbed not long after it was launched.

Although he was not very optimistic about David Levin's job search this time, Suri didn't try to persuade him. He really wanted to poach someone and let this guy work under him.

Talking about the global landscape and the current situation on Wall Street, more than two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Until before leaving, David Levin hesitated to speak and quietly told Su Rui that there were rumors that after the S electric car was successfully launched on the Nasdaq stock exchange a few days ago, several European and American automobile and oil companies The top management held a special meeting to discuss a joint boycott of S electric vehicles.

Su Rui was not surprised at all by this information that was not yet known to be true or false.

How could a group of vested interests give up a steady stream of huge profits just to reduce pollution and promote technological innovation?

None of them hopes that the S electric car will rise and take away market share from them. This explains why hybrid solutions are very advantageous, but no European, American, Japanese and Korean car companies have agreed to cooperate with Suri.

Suri is not Elon Musk. Suri is more powerful and influential than when Elon Musk led Tesla to start a business.

The benefits and disadvantages are equally obvious.

The advantage is that it can increase people's attention to new energy vehicles and increase the sales of the company's products.

The disadvantage is that S electric vehicles have just emerged, and competitors have collectively regarded them as a "fatal threat", and they can't wait to build a barrier.

For a long time that can be expected, Su Rui feels that the products of S Electric Vehicle Company will inevitably encounter various unexpected accidents and be entangled in black materials.

Although throwing dirty water is vulgar, it is particularly effective.

Fortunately, Su Rui is openly competing for the European and American new energy vehicle market, but in fact he only values ​​the mainland market. If necessary, he can even sell all his shares in S Electric Vehicle Company at a high price.

After listening to David Levin's words, Su Rui immediately began to consider the left hand to the right hand, trying to further increase BYD's shares while letting BYD spend money to buy out the technical license of S Electric Vehicle's hybrid solution and shorten the time for independent research and development.

As a major shareholder of S Electric Vehicle, he believes that the company's current hybrid solution is already the best among its peers in the world. In the new track of new energy vehicles, there is a chance for mainland car companies to overtake on the curve.

At noon that day.

Suri rushed to the airport to catch a plane and landed safely in Los Angeles.

He has been busy participating in "Alone in the Wild" during this period, and he has not dealt with Netflix Entertainment. In the blink of an eye, it is approaching the end of the year, and he needs to arrange the filming for next year in advance.

"The Vampire Diaries" launched a few years ago has been filmed to the fourth season, and the third season of "Prison Break" has also been broadcast. The ratings have dropped sharply. The "Desperate Women Series" was completed after only two seasons. Some new dramas are needed next year as a supplement. (End of this chapter)
