Chapter 302 The legend of Wall Street!

Li Zetian is now full of ambitions, investing in Japanese real estate, and now he has acquired 20th Century Fox, Carl Zeiss, and Trumpf, and he is very happy.

On this day, he went to Wells Fargo, which is one of his core industries.

All major consortiums have used banks to operate capital in order to control other companies. Of course, Li Zetian must follow suit.He came here this time to lend money to Sprint to acquire GTE, the largest independent local telephone company in the United States.

After coming out of the building of Wells Fargo Bank, I saw a middle-aged man sitting on the steps with a decadent face at the door. He was very well dressed. He was wearing a high-end black suit. He had an extraordinary temperament, and he did not look like an ordinary person.

Originally, Li Zetian didn't intend to meddle in his own business.However, he took another look at that person and felt a little impressed, but he couldn't remember it clearly.

Li Zetian stopped in his tracks immediately, thinking that the gringo who could impress him might be a famous figure in the future.

He thought for a while, stepped forward, and asked, "Hello, sir, it's already December, and the weather is cold, why are you sitting on the ground? It's easy to catch a cold!"

When the man looked up and saw that the person talking to him was Li Zetian, he was very surprised, "Oh, hello, Chronos·Li!!!"

"Who are you? Why are you sitting on the ground?" Li Zetian asked again.

The man replied: "My name is Sandy Weir. I used to be an executive of American Express. I was in charge of the merger plan of Bank of America...Unfortunately, it failed. Later, I was forced to resign because I failed to bring the Fireman's Fund out of the woods. I came to Wells Fargo for an interview today. The interviewer felt that my mental state was not good, and I hadn’t recovered from the previous failure. Let me go home and rest for a while... But I have been unemployed for six months status!"

Sandy Weir is able to work as an executive in the American Express Company, naturally he is not short of money, but he does not want to spend his life in silence. People cannot live in mediocrity, and must do meaningful things!
Li Zetian was recalling the name "Sandy Will" in his heart, trying to let himself know who he was.

After thinking for a while, I suddenly startled myself.

Could it be that Sandy Weir is a Wall Street legend, the founder of the Travelers Group, and the super-powerful financial king who later merged with Citibank?

Li Zetian was an orphan in his previous life, suffering from poverty, and yearned for wealth when he grew up. He has read many biographies of celebrities, including "Biography of Bill Gates", "Biography of Jobs", "Li Jiacheng", "Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie", "Jack Welch", "Rockefeller's 38 Letters to His Son" and so on, I also read a little bit about Sandy Weir's autobiography. With an iron fist, Citigroup finally dominated the entire financial world in an unprecedented way.

At this time, Li Zetian couldn't help but think of a sentence that General Electric CEO Jack Welch said: "Sandy Weir is the kind of person who can make money with air. His experience is as incredible as a myth!"

Talent, talent!
Li Zetian's eyes lit up, "Mr. Will, do you have time to have a cup of coffee together now?"

Sandy Weir felt unbelievable, and quickly responded: "There is time!"

"Okay, then let's sit in a nearby coffee shop."

"Ah."

Not long after, the two came to Starbucks.

On the way, Li Zetian thought, Sandy Weir also has a favorite student, Jamie Dimon, who is a genius in the financial world, not inferior to Sandy Wilson.The two later parted ways, and Jamie Dimon became the new CEO of **** and the most feared banker in the world.

Again, don't put all your eggs in one basket!Every consortium owns multiple banks, and Li Zetian will not only have Wells Fargo.When I met Sandy Weir today, Li Zetian couldn't help thinking about Citibank.

Sitting down in an elegant place by the window, Li Zetian slowly said: "Mr. Sandy Weir, I plan to establish a life and property insurance company. Would you like to come and help me?"

In the previous life, Traveler Company was originally a life and property insurance company. Later, it expanded its business scope to investment banking, commercial credit, financing services and other fields through the acquisition of an American investment bank. Li Zetian also planned to do it step by step.

In addition, the insurance industry is very profitable. There are thirty or forty insurance companies that have entered the top 500 in the world, and their rankings are very high.Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway is a world-renowned insurance and diversified investment group in the United States.

Insurance companies play a vital role in financial stability. A powerful insurance company is even too big to fail. Even the government dare not sit idly by, and even invest huge sums of money in order to avoid the huge damage caused by the company's failure. The chain reaction causes more serious harm to the society as a whole!

Sandy Weir was very excited when he heard Li Zetian's invitation, his face flushed, he drank the coffee in one gulp, and said: "Facing your invitation, Mr. Li, there are very few people in the world who refuse! I am very willing to be with you Work with your subordinates!!"

Li Zetian had a faint smile on his face, but he was very happy in his heart.

"Sandy Weir, you should rest at home for the next two days. I will send my secretary to contact you later to discuss the details of setting up an umbrella insurance company. You will be the CEO of the company. By the way, you are considered an old man in the industry Is there anyone who needs to be recommended?" Li Zetian asked intentionally.

"Yes, his name is Jamie Dimon, and he is a financial genius!"

Hearing this, Li Zetian smiled even wider, "Very well, then let him come with you!"

"Hmm..." Sandy Will nodded in response without doubting him.

After leaving the coffee shop, Li Zetian called him for contact information.

In the coffee shop just now, Dongfang Yuqin couldn’t speak directly, but now she came to the car, Dongfang Yuqin frowned and asked: “Mr. Li, Sandy Weir is a failure in Express Company, and even kicked him out of the company.” , are you sure he is qualified to be the CEO of an umbrella insurance company?"

Li Zetian smiled, with confidence in his laughter, "How do you say that? 'Failure is the mother of success'. It is because he has failed that he will succeed! I believe he will not let me down ! From the first time I saw him, I felt that this person was extraordinary, and there was a stubbornness in his eyes, and it was this kind of stubbornness that made me think he could succeed!"

Li Zetian is serious nonsense.

Dongfang Yuqin nodded and stopped asking. She actually believed in Li Zetian's vision very much, and it could even be said that she believed in Li Zetian blindly.

Li Zetian went on to say: "In the next period of time, you will work harder to form the umbrella insurance company with Sandy Weir."

"Ok."

"Driver, go to Sprint."

Finance is Dongfang Yuqin's major, and she has an MBA degree in business administration.Li Zetian is just a college dropout. Although he has also studied finance by himself, he still doesn't understand things that are too professional.There are specializations in the art industry, and a person's energy is limited. The superiors only need to learn how to employ people!
