Chapter 1083 Industrialists and the Second Generation of Wall Street Rich

"Mr. Herrero, I had a pleasant chat with you before, but I still have a question. What do you think about my choice of you as the global CEO of GUESS?"

In the office, Andy looked at the curly-haired, well-maintained middle-aged man sitting opposite him with a sunny smile on his face, that is, Victor Herrero, the future global CEO candidate of Gales Corporation.

But when Andy asks this question, it’s obviously a bit embarrassing for the other party, but it’s actually not that embarrassing, because Andy prefers a confident subordinate, a person who can’t even explain his own advantages, how can he make him trust and hand over the power to him? Let the other party manage a global first-line brand apparel group.

The expression on Victor Herrero's face did not change at all. He had a very pleasant chat with the world-famous young rich man in front of him before, especially when talking about some things about the Chinese dynasty, and they had a lot of common language. He didn't answer in a hurry, but after pondering for a moment, he smiled and said.

"It's not difficult to find me. In Asia, I'm fairly well-known, not to mention the fame of the fast fashion group in China, and the Zara brand was also developed by me in China.

The main reason for you to find me is not only because of my understanding of China and the Asian fashion market, but also because I have practical experience in retail and operation, and more importantly, I am an industrialist.

I think the other thing is that I have enough enthusiasm for fashion. If companies from other industries come to me, I will not consider it. I must focus on the fashion field.

I know that GUESS is in China, and the Asian market has potential and opportunities. After all, it has a history of 27 years and has experienced many ups and downs. Although the current performance has not reached the ideal state, I will realize it step by step. "

Victor is naturally aware of his own advantages, and he also knows the difficulties faced by Gales. The sales in the US market are shrinking and stores are closed. The only solution is to develop new markets, and emerging markets in Asia are the top priority.

What's more, Gales has just gone through a hostile takeover turmoil, just because of an incident of harassment of one of its models, the most famous young man in the world in front of him almost flipped a 27-year-old company It is unimaginable that the family business has been included in the income.

A clothing group with a value of more than two billion yuan was suddenly suppressed to a market value of several hundred million yuan. The ruthless methods not only shocked Wall Street, but also caused a great impact in the fashion circle.

"Hehe, I am very satisfied with your answer. Yes, you have grasped the key points, new markets, new opportunities. You have been in China for a long time, so you naturally know how big the changes are. It is advancing almost every day, with a population of 1.3 billion. , a huge population base, a middle class full of potential, the market potential is too great.

At present, my proposal to increase capital and issue shares has been approved by the board of directors. I will inject 100 million US dollars for the development of new markets, and my shares will exceed half, reaching 56%. If you become the global CEO of Gales, I will give you the greatest power and authority, and I hope you can use your achievements to repay my trust in you! "

Andy is very satisfied with Victor's answer in front of him. He is a smart man. To be honest, Andy values ​​his development of Zara in Tianchao the most, otherwise he would not recruit him. This is a very good professional manager.

"Thank you for your trust in me. GUESS is a fashion brand company, and it is also the field I have been doing and I like. I am also very happy to work for GUESS." Victor Herrero responded confidently and calmly.

"I like confident people. Then, this afternoon we will announce that you will be the global CEO of Gales Corporation. Join me at the press conference tomorrow. After all, as a listed company, this must be done. At the same time, I I also hope to give a boost to the stock price, which has plummeted due to shrinking sales!"

Andy smiled all over his face, stood up and shook hands with the other party and said,

It seems that the plummeting stock price has nothing to do with him.

After seeing off Victor Herrero, Andy took a sip of coffee, picked up the phone and called Al, he was very satisfied with this candidate, and for the next second interview, Andy needed to bring Al Attended together, the CEO candidate of Yingtai Bank is also the candidate they selected to block the gun, Stephen Nuby.

When Andy saw Stephen Nuby, he was stunned for a moment. He was wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses. At first glance, he looked very much like HK, an actor who often played horny villains, although his hair was combed meticulously. , with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but it feels like a smiling tiger.

To be honest, although the other party always had a warm smile, it always gave Andy an uncomfortable feeling, like wearing a mask, but thinking of the main purpose of looking for the other party, he no longer cared about the other party's giving. How do you feel about yourself.

"...Stephen, I heard from Al that you seemed to be very interested in the bankrupt IndyMac Bank before?"

Stephen looked at the young man in front of him with a warm smile, whom many people could only look up to, and the boyfriend of his precious daughter whom his old friend CP had been proudly talking about. The feeling in his heart was really indescribable.

Also as a second-generation rich man, he has worked at Goldman Sachs for more than ten years and started his own business for so many years. He is worth a lot, but compared with the young man in front of him, his life is nothing.

"Yes, I did contact Soros, Michael Dell, etc., as well as several former Goldman Sachs executives, hoping to form an all-star consortium to acquire IndyMac Bank. However, when I was trying to convince them, Mr. Smith, you have completed the acquisition of IndyMac Bank." Stephen Nuby said with a smile.

"Can you tell me why you are interested in IndyMac Bank? If your plan is successful, what are you going to do next?"

There was a sparkle in Stephen Nuby's eyes, and the smile on his face was still bright. He seemed to be prepared for Andy's question, and said directly: "The main thing is, I want to do long mortgage loans and MBS mortgage loan-backed securities. "

Hearing Stephen's answer, Andy and Al looked at each other without hesitation, and saw a clear smile in each other's eyes. Andy looked back at each other again, and said with a smile: "At this time, To be long these toxic assets is to take a huge risk."

"It's true that the risks are huge, but there is also a lot of room to maneuver, and the $23.5 billion in business loans, mortgages and MBS, once a solution is found, the returns are extremely lucrative.

At that time, when I saw the report on the risk sharing agreement signed by Yingtai Bank and the FDIC, I really exclaimed God, and now I still sigh, this agreement is really brilliant, although I don’t know the specific content of the agreement, but I If the guess is correct, no matter how bad the future economic situation is, with the protection of this agreement, Yingtai Bank will be protected from the most serious losses. "

Hearing Stephen's words, Al and Andy looked at each other again, both of them were smiling. The other party did have a deep research and investigation on the previous IndyMac Bank, a caring person.

"Stephen, if you take over this part of the assets, what do you think is the most difficult thing?" Al asked this time.

"Mortgages can be the trickiest part of the operation, holding and servicing mortgages is very different from splitting and trading mortgages, but it's also the easiest part of the bank to make money..."

. . . . . .

Andy and Al sent Stephen Nubby to the elevator politely and solemnly. When the elevator door closed, the two looked at each other. After walking back to the office, "You won." Andy took out a bag from his pocket. A hundred dollars was handed to Al, and Al took it without any hesitation and put it in his pocket.

"You're right, he's been planning to evict people from their homes in the first place to trigger a loss-sharing agreement and get money from the FDIC..."

Looking at the big BOSS shaking his head and smiling wryly, Alvetrie said nonchalantly: "He is the most suitable candidate, we need him to join Yingtai Bank to turn the tide and turn losses into profits, and what we pay is nothing more than the loss from the original A small part of the benefits, and the final severance pay, this is a very cost-effective business!"

Andy was silent for a moment, and finally nodded. The turnaround of Yingtai Bank is what he cares most about. He doesn't want to keep his bank in a state of loss. Recently, the FDIC disclosed to the outside world that IndyMac Bank was The loss in the first half of 2008 before the acquisition reached 767 million US dollars. Andy doesn't want his new bank to continue to be dragged down by those toxic assets. If he doesn't want to die, he can only die by someone else. . . 8) For more exciting novels, welcome to visit our Reading Academy
