Chapter 300: Transaction in the Elevator

"This is really wonderful, sir. I have been in the industry for so many years and have seen countless technology companies preparing to go public on Wall Street."

"Most of them behaved strangely, revealing a kind of intellectual stupidity that I have never seen in any company before it went public."

"I can assure you that such a perfect marketing campaign can be completed in just that short 10-minute press conference."

"It can at least push up the stock price by 20-30% today."

Not far from Wall Street is the headquarters building of JPMorgan Chase Bank, One Manhattan Plaza.

As soon as they got off the car, the driver acted as a guide, excitedly standing beside Daniel Harvey and praising his magical operation non-stop.

Daniel Harvey remained silent, looking around at the huge building in front of him with a modernist architectural style and glass curtain wall design.

He followed the other person, but did not see the busy crowd as he had imagined.

The surrounding environment had obviously been specially cleaned; even the marble floor beneath his feet had been coated with a layer of polished wax.

If there was a beautiful lady in professional attire to guide me, I would be in for a real treat.

“When First Chase Manhattan Plaza was first built, it served as the global headquarters for JPMorgan Chase Bank and has witnessed the growth of our company from a local bank to a global financial giant.”

"This building is not only a symbol of JPMorgan Chase Bank, but also one of the important landmarks of New York's financial district, representing the development and strength of the US financial industry."

"I believe you have seen photos of this building in many books or newspapers."

In the process of leading the way, in addition to complimenting the other party, the driver also played the role of a tour guide very well.

At the same time, they adjust their walking speed according to the pace of their customers to avoid walking too fast or too slow and affecting their customers.

On the other hand, of course, you also have to talk endlessly about the strength and history of your company.

"How far is it to the elevator?" Daniel Harvey listened to the other party's bragging and raised his hand to look at the time on his watch.

Said in a cold tone.

"We only have about 10 minutes. There's no need to tell me your company's spirit and history lessons now."

“If this cooperation is very pleasant, I believe I will have many opportunities to come to this building in the future.”

"Of course, I probably wouldn't want to hear that at the time. If I had a bottle of good Kentucky whiskey and a few pounds of Texas pastrami, I might have come more often."

After saying that, Daniel Harvey smiled at the driver, and the other party nodded repeatedly.

"Of course. I believe we can complete the cooperation. At the same time, I will tell you a piece of news that I know."

"All the arrangements for the Wall Street trading floor have been completed. Let's just say we are absolutely sincere."

"No matter how you talk to each other for the next 10 minutes, that's not going to change."

"You are very confident." Daniel Harvey looked at the other person with a smile and followed him into the exclusive VIP elevator.

As soon as he entered the elevator, the other party took out an exclusive elevator card and handed it to him.

"This is your exclusive elevator card, and it is also your pass to enter this building. From now on, you can use this pass."

“Use this top-level elevator at any time and communicate directly with our executives, available 24 hours a day.”

"By the way, to ensure safety, all persons holding passes must be employed by the bank in accordance with the bank's rules and regulations."

"You mean you want me to quit my job and work with you?" Daniel Harvey pinched the elevator card between two fingers.

He didn't put it in his pocket, but tilted his head to look at the young man in front of him.

"Please don't misunderstand me." The driver waved his hands repeatedly. "Of course, it is an honor for our company to have such an outstanding talent like you willing to join our company."

"But we are also very clear that your company also has great development prospects, not to mention that you have the recognition of Mr. Hohenzollern."

"I just want to inform you that according to the regulations, you are holding this card."

"You will automatically become our company's senior technical consultant, with the same salary as a senior manager. Your salary will be automatically deposited into your account."

"You want to bribe me." Daniel Harvey's face suddenly darkened. "According to US law, any employee of a company."

"I can't use my working time to do extra part-time jobs. If I accept this, wouldn't it be a crime?"

"Of course not, don't get any misunderstanding." The driver said calmly.

"We have not officially registered you as our employee. Your salary and all benefits are covered by an independent fund."

"Your position as a senior technical advisor is also an independent third-party monitoring agency, which is part of the federal level supervision of large companies."

"Many company executives hold such positions, as do many state senators and federal representatives, who are fighting to create a fair business environment."

"Many business leaders work for similar third-party organizations, which will have no impact on your work and safety."

"The entire process is in full compliance with federal law, and no one will come to trouble you."

Daniel Harvey was silent, looking at the card in his hand which was completely black and decorated with gorgeous gold lines.

He had a feeling that he was seeing the truth about the world for the first time. Half a month ago, he was just an ordinary blue-collar worker.

Although he became a so-called small leader, he was a typical person with little pay, a lot of work and heavy responsibilities.

I work eight or nine hours a day and often have to stay up late to work overtime, but even so, pension expenses are increasing year by year.

The salary and benefits are getting worse every year. Not only has the basic salary never increased, but the various welfare benefits are even more pitifully low.

What’s even more infuriating is that crappy property tax. Just because the federal government’s valuation of houses changes according to market rules, they force you to pay hundreds of dollars more every month.

The cost of living changes with the market, so why shouldn’t income levels change with the market?

Employees' wages have not increased year by year, but the company's costs have been rising year by year. The superiors are urgently demanding layoffs, saying that there is not much business.

The employees under him were all full of resentment and there was simply no work to be done.

After all this time, it’s not that there is no money, it’s just that the money is all in these places.

"I don't like such vague statements about how senior managers are paid. I need accurate figures."

Daniel Harvey asked in a calm tone, shaking the card in his right hand.
