How luxurious can an office be?

This question is nonsense. People have different understanding of luxury, and there will be many different luxury, but this is indeed a luxurious room.

The gilded ceiling, natural crystal chandeliers, bear heads and lion heads on the wall, and two elephant tusks that are as tall as a person on the display cabinet, such a "simple" decoration is enough to explain the room How luxurious the decoration is.

But the things in this office, like most offices, are the property of the company, and only a few personal items belong to the company employees who use this room.

His name is Joe Gleeman, the credit manager of the Golden Exchange Bank Sabine City Branch.

This kind of administrative manager and those outside customer managers are completely two concepts. He is only one step away from being promoted to the level of bank branch president, but this step is difficult to cross.

Different from most official organizations, the ranks of Ranked 2nd officials at the local level will be promoted to the rank of Ranked 1st. Within the Golden Exchange Bank, if Joe Gleeman wants to be promoted, He may transfer from the branch to the regional branch or headquarters, and work hard again from the middle and lower levels.

The meaning of the president is not just the difference in appellation. Of course, Joe Gleeman never thought that he could become a president. This kind of thing will basically not happen.

He lacks a lot of capital, he has no backing on the board of directors of the head office, and those people also look down on the general manager of the credit department of a branch in a second-tier city, which makes his road to promotion a long, good It is easy for him to meet and meet the status quo.

Just 42 years old, he has a successful career, his wife is young and beautiful, and the three children are also very lively and lovely. If there are not too many problems, he may be able to do 18 years in Sabine City. old all, and then transferred to the branch to make way for others.

The favorable treatment of the bank made him never consider some of the problems after being removed from an important position. The high welfare and high treatment are enough for him to spend his time happily.

Of course, anyone will have small troubles of this kind. It has nothing to do with their beauty. The president of the Baylor Federation is also impossible.

Joe Gleeman's current worry is that the loan business volume in Sabine City has been declining, and the amount of business volume has not much directly related to his management staff at this level.

Much done, he may be discussed by the superiors of the branch in the meeting.

There is less completion, and bad luck is also the first-line client manager of lending, although everyone is a manager.

But this is a bit unpleasant after all. At the end of each year, Golden Exchange Bank will have a paid public tour. Everyone works in the same group company, but they belong to different regions. When the time comes, it is inevitable. Talk about their respective work together.

You did good, you must be praised by others, and their tasks are completed well, there are more opportunities to be promoted, and they may become their superiors in the future.

If you dont do it well, you wont be ridiculed by people, but in the process of various comparisons, it will become a green leaf to set off others. That tastes uncomfortable at all.

He wants to solve these problems, but there is nothing to do. As one of the six major banks of the Baylor Federation, Golden Exchange Bank has become them with their understanding of financial markets and international economy trends. Daily homework.

Since Baylor Federation's explosive economy development ended in previous years, the economy in recent years has been a little sluggish.

The financial market is still very active, and there is no obvious downward trend. This also makes people always say that this is a "short-term" silence after the outbreak. After the rising "rebound period" has passed, the federal economy There will be another significant increase.

People believe these words, but the question is whether this rebound period is too long, it has been almost three years, the weak market and declining economy have begun to sting peoples nerves, especially The explosive growth bonus period is gradually over, and people are beginning to walk out of blind audiences. Under the seemingly prosperous surface of the entire Baylor Federation, there is an undercurrent surging.

Sabine City has registered more than two thousand enterprises in the past seven months this year. At the same time, more than 600 small, medium and micro enterprises have gone bankrupt and liquidated. It is not that the bank cannot find anyone to borrow money, but that they are not Dare to lend.

If you dont get it back, its a big trouble. The above is pretty good. Every year, every branch will give some indicators of bad debts. But if you really fill up this indicator, you can just call Change the personnel structure of the entire branch.

As the last person to approve, Joe Gleeman is always very cautious. He prefers not to let go of a penny and is not willing to be kicked out. He has to stay in this position for a few more years and wait for himself All three of the children have grown up, so they can all be arranged in the bank.

When people come to him this year, when there is not much pursuit, they start to think about children's things. Most people are like this.

Wasting time while reading some nasty magazines at his desk, one of the four phones at his desk rang, a private phone. Only people who have a good relationship with him know this number. After adjusting his emotions, he answered the phone, "This is Joe Gleeman..."

"It's me, Johnson, are you free at noon?" The local Tax Bureau appeared on the other end of the phone. Secretary's phone.

The number of times the bank has dealt with the Tax Bureau far exceeds the number of times they greet the Investment Bureau. Although they also often deal with the Investment Bureau, they dont like the people from the Investment Bureau.

On the contrary, the Tax Bureau is a good place to get in touch with each other. It is a mutual benefit, especially the middle and high level of the bank. Their income is more than ten times or even dozens of times that of others. How to legally avoid tax has become They have headaches, but if someone from the Tax Bureau helps them organize the materials, everything is much simpler.

In return, they will also give Tax Bureau very active cooperation, and occasionally they will push some inside information, such as a certain funds recent good market, a change of the board of directors of a listed company, etc. .

Joe Gleeman mostly comes into contact with middle-level people like Michael. Johnson knows and has contacted several times, but the number and frequency of contact is very low.

At Johnson's position, the Baylor Federation Supervision Department will check him from time to time to see if he is involved in duty crime.

The federal government pays little attention to the grassroots and front-line staff. Even if these people use their power to commit crimes, the harm to the entire Union and the society is extremely limited, but the chief chief-in- Charge is different. Once they are involved in duty crimes, the losses caused are incalculable.

If there is a Supervision Department, just stare and take a look. Even if Joe Gleeman has the opportunity to sit down with Johnson and make friends, he will try to avoid suspicion.

This time the other party came up, he couldn't avoid it, he could only say he was free.

Johnson invited him to lunch together. This request was honestly very strange. There was no friendship between them. Obviously, the other party was looking for him for something.

After hanging up the phone, he pondered for a long time and didn't find the reason why Director Johnson suddenly invited him, so he could only prepare in advance with confusion.

On the other side, Lynch and Johnson had already arrived at the meeting place when they mentioned the top 20 minutes at the scheduled time.

Joe Gleeman just took out his brain and then ate the brain to replenish the brain. He couldn't think of it. In fact, Johnson is just a medium. The one who really wants to see him is Lynch, an ordinary nobody.
