If you become a vested interest …
Will you still think that the world is unfair?
This was a very serious question. Even though Anthony was now considered experienced, it was inevitable that he would be at a loss for words for a while.
Because he felt that there was no need to answer this question. If he was already a beneficiary, he would not be here to complain to Jon about these things.
He did not feel that there was anything embarrassing about talking to a child like Jon about these issues, nor did he feel that he was not as good as Jon.
To put it bluntly, he was the boss who paid his salary. If he could give him some pointers on this kind of philosophy of life, he was lucky.
When he was in Hong Kong, he always listened to those Huaxia businessmen talk about philosophy of life, so he also knew that the one who understood was the teacher. He had doubts, and if Jon could answer them, then he would just listen.
"We are not native American businessmen. A few hundred years ago, we were still in a hostile position. Now that the company is over there, we took the initiative to go there. They don't need to rush to make things convenient for us."
Jon said while drinking coffee. These experiences were taught by his superiors and elders in his previous life. They were universal values and applicable to the world.
"We are an investment company. As long as the money is continuously introduced, there will be no new problems. How much is the loan in the UK now?"
"Two million pounds. The deadline for repayment is two years later."
"Don't cut off contact with the bank. In less than two years, they will ask us to return the loan."
This was also expected. Just like in the Soviet Union, he was already selling real estate to the outside world. Under the situation that the total value of the industry had not decreased by much, he could earn a lot of rubles in a round trip. Even if it was through the black market, it was still a lot of money.
In the UK, if the bank did not ask them to return the loan, Jon would return the loan while the UK economy collapsed.
To put it bluntly, if it was not profitable, Jon would not lend this loan.
In terms of credibility, as long as Jon did not have too big of a problem, this matter was not worth worrying about.
"When you were with the headhunter, did you see how Howard worked?"
Anthony shook his head.
"A headhunter's job is essentially a middleman. Their clients need talents, and talents like you need jobs. In comparison, our investment company is also a kind of middleman. It's just that we are the middleman who gives money to those who need it. If they make money, we will make money too."
"That's why you don't have to worry about anything else. You just need to tie the small boat that we've set our sights on firmly around our own ship. As for what happens to them in the future, that has nothing to do with us."
Looking at Anthony's confused expression, Jon rephrased his question and asked, "What's the matter?
"After you removed your information from Howard, did he look for you?"
Anthony was stunned and quickly shook his head. "No, I haven't."
"That's it. Although an intermediary has the duty to protect the information of their talents and clients, you can't be dissatisfied with a client just because the client has taken a fancy to another talent. You can't hate the entire environment because of this."
Jon took a sip of coffee. He knew that this was because Anthony's identity was too high when he was in Xiangjiang, so he had this feeling of disparity.
In principle, no person or commodity can create value for us forever. If they find another way to develop better, it's just a loss of a small boat for us. You have to know that we have real US dollars in our hands. They're the only ones who beg us to invest, and we don't take the initiative to persuade them to stay. If we leave them, we can still find other commodities. What they become after leaving us has nothing to do with us, understand? "
Anthony obviously couldn't digest these words, but Jon asked him to write it down and slowly understand it. He should be able to figure it out eventually.
"But don't let go of the previous clause easily. Let the company's legal department handle it."
Jon also let Mr. Smith look at the company's personnel list before, so he had a little understanding of the company. "There are a lot of people in the company now. You don't have to do everything yourself. Leave it to the managers. If it's really not possible, you can ask Howard to introduce some talents. Other things aside, the management must be on the same side."
Anthony nodded and chatted for a while before leaving Jon's room.
The two chatted for half the night. Jon, who was used to sleeping during the school curfew, enjoyed the happiness of the rich people staying up late. He watched TV all night and only got up at noon the next day.
Thinking about it, he felt that last night was ridiculous. Jon rubbed his head and picked up the phone to order lunch.
Eating the steak on the plate, Jon began to think about what to do next.
He taught Anthony those things yesterday only because he wanted Anthony to do things for him.
The world of capital was cruel. Jon wasn't suitable for it, so Anthony was especially important.
It was not easy to find such a young man who still had dreams and was no longer involved with the headhunters. At the same time, he was talented and willing to work hard.
As the saying goes, learn literature and martial arts and give them to capitalists.
The new capitalist, Jon Smith, instilled knowledge into his capable subordinate without any psychological burden, hoping that this "young talent" could continuously create value for him.
Beside him was the investigation record of Lohat's behavior for the past three days. From the record, it seemed that Lohat would go to a bookstore next to the university every afternoon to read books.
This bookstore … was downtown, but Jon asked Béla to take a look in the morning. There was indeed a bar similar to the Broken Cauldron there.
Obviously, the bookstore was just a cover. Recently, Lohat went here to prepare for the book signing on Wizard Street.
But since the record said that Lohat would read books there every day, it proved that he would read books there for a while.
Previously, he only knew that this liar professor was a writer. Now it seemed that Lohat read a lot of books, so he must be very good at writing.
As long as he wasn't an idiot, it would be fine.
Jon flipped through other records and finally felt that they should meet at the bookstore.
But it was just right. The environment of the bookstore was quiet and suitable for talking.
