In Tokyo, even the most fierce dragon is afraid of the hatchet

Two hundred thousand?

More than a thousand dollars?

Damn.

I get paid for an interview, so why do I have to run back and forth like a dog during an interview?

"Then you can arrange this matter. We must recruit people as soon as possible. Our time is precious."

"Sir, two hundred thousand is enough for an ordinary company. But in the financial industry, if you want real talent, you should prepare at least five hundred thousand!"

"Oh my god! Four thousand dollars? What if they take the travel expenses and don't come?"

"After all, there is no employment relationship. If this happens, it only means that the other party is still considering other options."

"FUCK. Doesn't that mean I can keep going out like this to get travel expenses?"

"In theory, that's true."

"..."

Oh shit!

Are these little Japanese people deliberately bullying us Americans?

How could there be such ridiculous workplace rules?

However, as a partner of the company, George couldn't lie about this matter. Conn Brady could only pinch his nose and said, "Then George, you arrange it!"

"this......"

"anymore question?"

"I'm afraid that such a contract will not be accepted. Although there is no clear legal requirement for lifetime employment, if it is not lifetime employment, I don't think anyone will come. After all...all companies are like this!"

"Lifetime employment? Are you kidding? How can there be such an unreasonable request! If the guy we recruited is a loser and can't help the company make money, do we still want to keep such a loser?"

"this......"

"..."

A few minutes later.

George left the office.

Conn Brady was like a woman who had been raped and could no longer hold back his temper and started cursing.

"John, what kind of broken rules are these?"

"Oh my god! How could there be such an unreasonable unspoken rule as lifetime employment?"

"If you're unlucky and recruit some idiots, won't you have to support them forever?"

"..."

Honestly.

Worked at Goldman Sachs on Wall Street.

It is a pride that most Americans share.

But at this moment, all the pride was torn to pieces.

Taking a taxi is despised!

Buying things is despised by others.

I wanted to go out to a nightclub to find a girl but was told I wasn’t a member and was refused entry!

Now even the people he hires are rejected!

These damn little Japanese are showing off their wealth all the time!

After cursing for several minutes, Conn Brady still couldn't get over it. "John, how can these damn Japanese be so exaggerated? Not only do they have to pay travel expenses for the interview, but there are also no restrictions at all. How can such a damn rule exist?"

"I want to know too, but it seems that we have to re-evaluate Japanese companies!"

"..."

new York.

Manhattan.

The howling wind, mixed with heavy snow, enveloped the entire New York in a white world.

Warren Buffett tightened his coat, held down his hat, and pushed open the closed door of the villa.

The sexy housekeeper took his coat and put it away, and John Weinberg greeted Buffett and invited him to the fireplace.

A maid brought hot coffee.

Buffett took a sip and said, "What a damn bad weather! My hat almost got blown off on the way here!"

"But this kind of weather is more beneficial to us, isn't it?" John Weinberg said with a smile.

In 1929, Goldman Sachs was still a very conservative family business. Its leader, Vidal Keynes, wanted to develop Goldman Sachs from a single bill business into a comprehensive investment bank.

The first step he took was to introduce the stock business and establish Goldman Sachs Stock Trading Company. Under his fanatical promotion, Goldman Sachs entered and rapidly expanded businesses similar to today's mutual funds at the rate of establishing a trust investment company every day, and the stock issuance volume expanded by US$1 million in a short period of time.

The company once developed very rapidly, and its stock price quickly rose from a few dollars per share to more than $100, and finally to more than $200.

But the good times did not last long. The global financial crisis of 1929 and the crash of the Wall Street stock market caused the stock price to plummet to more than one dollar, causing the company to lose 92% of its original investment. The company's reputation also plummeted on Wall Street, becoming a laughing stock and a synonym for mistake on Wall Street. The company was on the verge of bankruptcy.

At the critical moment, Goldman Sachs received the support of a congressman and was able to go bankrupt and escape the crisis.

This person was Buffett’s father. As a result, Buffett became a senior partner of Goldman Sachs at an early age and had a deep friendship with John Weinberg for decades.

After decades of mutual cooperation and understanding, and having the latest government information, who would not know what the other party means in such a relationship?

Such a cold day.

Prices in the Soviet Union skyrocketed, supplies were in short supply, and the price of vodka had risen by who knows how much. Although the ruble remained strong against foreign currencies, how long could it last?

Without the containment of the East, Japan would not be so powerful!

Buffett also smiled: "That kid Bu Kangen called back and is still complaining. It seems like it's time!"

"I talked to the chairman of the Securities Commission yesterday, and the earliest I can do that is January 1."

"..."

At this moment.

The other side of the Pacific Ocean.

Nao Nagano was sitting in the Kansai headquarters meeting room, listening to the ridicule and sarcasm of Tsuchiya and his group, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

After the new year.

The stock market did not fall as quickly as expected.

Instead, it fluctuates at a high level after rebounding.

So.

The asset management company made considerable profits from selling Goldman Sachs' put warrants.

As the original opponent, Tsuchiya's lackeys spared no effort to mock him: "If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer the consequences! Nagano, now you know how valuable the experience of the predecessors is?!"

"It is precisely because of the valuable experience of our predecessors that the company can become strong. You are a guy who has no experience in talking, so please reflect on this!"

Chapter 251: Boy, Get Away

If it was a month ago.

Such ridicule and sarcasm would only make Nagano Naoya feel angry and secretly grit his teeth.

You always use your seniority to bully others and take advantage of your age. Who the hell tolerates your bad habits?

Now?

After the New Year, a large number of newcomers came out for interviews. Every day, I heard those newcomers not sure of their identities but very respectfully calling me seniors. I felt secretly happy and at the same time, I couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

In the animal world, lions are majestic when they are young, but when they grow old they are driven out of the group and left to fend for themselves. The lionesses are also taken away, and the former kings die in sorrow and loss of dignity.

From wolf packs and beast herds to universal capitalist countries, the law of the jungle and values, there is really no difference between humans and animals.

The older it gets, the less valuable it is.

Income has decreased and the burden has increased. For society and the country, they have almost no value except being a burden. It has become the norm to be discriminated against when looking for a job and to worry about being fired at any time.

But it is different in Japan. In general, people are more respected as they get older, and this is determined by the continuous increase in income.

Every elderly person has created value for society. If the elderly in human society lose their value, they are equivalent to garbage. What is the difference between this and the beast kingdom?

Therefore, Nagano Nao is very supportive of respecting seniors.

But there is a prerequisite.

No one is taking advantage of their seniority in front of me! !

"Thank you for your teachings, Mr. Kimura. Nagano's soul has already been dedicated to the company. In the face of possible mistakes, I will never give up even if I have to endure a lot of criticism. Just like the planning proposal I made before, many people thought it was wrong. But the facts have proved that some outdated experiences may contain huge errors."

"Nagano, you still refuse to admit your mistakes? Knowing your own mistakes is the best quality of us Neon Gold. Don't you still refuse to review your mistakes in the face of facts?"

"The cicada knows the coming of autumn even before the wind blows. In consideration of Mr. Kimura's twenty years of dedication to the company, Nagano would like to remind you that truth is tested by time, not by eating!"

"It seems that Nagano, you won't cry until you see the coffin!"

"Kimura-senpai used a good proverb!"

"Please don't forget the gentleman's agreement with Master Tsuchiya! Don't cry like a coward when the time comes!"

"How could Nagano forget something as important as a gentleman's agreement!"

"..."

The ambiguous retorts ended with Tsuchiya's arrival.

As per the usual practice, he reported on the company's current investment projects, and when the meeting was over, Nagano Nao left the branch.

It's cloudy outside.

Snowflakes are falling from the sky.

It's cold at the end of the year.
