Chapter 1484 Good Guy Gilbert
"How many bottles do you plan to collect?"
"Why not? The charm of good wine is like that of beautiful girls, no one can resist their temptation."
"Wonderful metaphor~" Gilbert clapped his hands, obviously agreeing with Yang Cheng's statement.
After chatting about wine for a while, Gilbert brought the topic to the business field that the two were more familiar with.
His Quicken Loans Company is one of the largest home loan mortgage institutions in the United States, and the largest retail mortgage loan institution in the United States is Wells Fargo Bank, which attracts customers through branches and absorbs low-interest funds for lending, followed by Bank of America and JPMorgan, the loan model is similar.
Only Quicken Loans has a completely different business model, which is what Gilbert is most proud of. Quicken Loans does not have any offices, and only interacts with customers through the Internet and telephone. They do not take deposits and rely entirely on Wholesale financing finances the loan.
It is precisely because Quicken Loans took the lead in breaking all the rules, their business volume has grown rapidly, from billions in the early days to tens of billions in loans now, and Gilbert has made a lot of money, but Like the Cleveland Consortium, they do not have a strong financial reserve capacity and are overly dependent on the Eastern Consortium. This has also caused the Cleveland Consortium to always rank low among the top ten consortiums.
Even if they control four of the top ten steel companies and control the rubber industry in the United States!
But without financial capital as a backer, and because of the geographical environment, the Cleveland consortium can be said to be in decline. Think about how brilliant they were back then. Relying on their rich coal and iron resources, they once controlled the railway lines in the United States. Entered the upper reaches of the top ten consortiums, but was still lonely in the end.
The two chatted about their respective companies for a while, and Gilbert suddenly said, "I heard you met Matthew Mellon a while ago?"
Yang Cheng was startled, all this has spread? Can't it?
Since people asked, there is no need to hide it. He nodded slowly, and at the same time, his eyes did not let go of the slightest expression change on Gilbert's face.
Gilbert laughed, "Don't be nervous, I don't mean anything else. The Mellon Consortium is not what it used to be. Even if he finds the family treasure, I don't have the money."
Damn, how can this thing compare like this? Yang Cheng slandered in his heart, but he didn't say anything. Gilbert has such a personality. There are definitely not a few rich men like him in the United States who are proud of their wealth.
But Yang Cheng didn't believe it. Gilbert asked this sentence suddenly, just out of boredom.
"Matthew is not bad~" Yang Cheng replied casually.
Instead, he asked, "How do you know that I met him? Do you have a grudge against Matthew?"
"No, no, I don't know him, and it's not right. It should be said that I have met him a few times, but I am not familiar with him at all. It's just that you should know how many pairs of eyes are staring at Alcoa."
After Gilbert explained this, Yang Cheng seemed to understand something, and suddenly said, "So now someone misunderstands that I want to compete for Alcoa?"
"Almost~" Gilbert said ambiguously.
Yang Cheng frowned slightly, "People from the Cleveland Foundation?"
Gilbert did not change his true color as a madman, "The Cleveland consortium? They can only live with rubber now, how can they have the ability to snatch Alcoa?"
"That is?"
Gilbert hesitated, "It's DuPont~"
"Dupont?" Yang Cheng was taken aback.
A name flashed in Yang Cheng's mind, "Generic? So it's Morgan's idea for Mellon?"
Gilbert chuckled lightly, "We're just watching a stage play. It hasn't been this lively for many years. The field where these deep-rooted giants live is like a pool of stagnant water. After so many years, someone needs to disturb it." Stir it up, although it stinks now."
Yang Cheng smiled wryly, this metaphor is really true. . . image!
But he still didn't understand, was Gilbert reminding him out of kindness?
Of course, he did not doubt the source of Gilbert's information, and his Quicken Loans Company also relied on Xiaomo for a living.
And Xiao Mo and DuPont have always been very close, and it is normal to hear some news.
"I was really interested in Alcoa, but I gave up under Matthew's persuasion."
"That's right, Alcoa has acne all over its body, and everyone wants to break it up. If someone comes in at this time and tries to steal everyone's fruit, then he will definitely become an enemy of America, and he will not even have a chance to kneel down. nothing."
Yang Cheng nodded with a slightly dignified expression. Fortunately, he listened to the persuasion and did not act willfully, otherwise he would be in great trouble.
Having said that, Yang Cheng simply asked, "Why did you remind me?"
Gilbert smiled, "We were just chatting, I didn't remind you anything, everything is your own thought."
After a short pause, he further explained, "Take it as a little compensation for me. Although it is worthless, Cleveland needs this championship, and I need it too!"
The words were a bit vague, but Yang Cheng understood that Gilbert himself disdained the manipulation of the league, but he and the team needed this championship, so he did not make any objection, but obeyed Xiao Hua's arrangement.
Reminding myself now is just looking for some comfort.
Yang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. Everything happens for a reason, and Gilbert's answer just confirmed this point.
I stayed in Gilbert's office all afternoon. As night fell and the battle was about to break out, Yang Cheng and Gilbert, who went down to the side of the court early, were introduced by the on-site DJ. Especially, the people of Cleveland will naturally give the most enthusiastic cheers and applause, but for Yang Cheng, it is ruthless boos and even curses.
But when the big screen above the head caught Yang Cheng's helpless expression, the audience subconsciously laughed again. It seemed that everyone had no heartfelt hostility towards the Nets. It was only because of the positions of the two sides that they wanted to create a devil. The atmosphere of the arena.
As the players entered the field one by one, Yang Cheng witnessed the frenzy of this black city with his own eyes!
Hot and enthusiastic, all kinds of screams condensed into sound waves, almost blowing up Quicken Loans Center. The atmosphere of this stadium feels ten times more crazy than Barclays Center. After all, New Yorkers call themselves upper class, so naturally they don’t bother to do things that are too cheap .
This is also the stadium culture unique to small ball markets. Since we can’t compare to big cities in terms of money, then we can surpass you in terms of culture. We have more enthusiasm, motivation, and love for the team than you do. The spiritual culture will make every neutral fan who comes to the Quicken Loans Center unconsciously become a Cavaliers fan, join the cheering ranks, and give their throats for every goal and defense of the team!
