Blackstone Code

"Good morning, Mr. Bennett!"

A bank employee was locking his car door, and Bennett's car happened to be parked next to him. He had to stop what he was doing immediately, pay attention, and greeted him good morning.

Bennett has been found to be in high spirits lately, easier to deal with than ever before, and passionate and driven at work.

This also makes it difficult for the bank employees not to compare Bennett, who is full of passion for work, with Mr. Joe Griman, who is so low-key that he almost has no sense of presence.

When not comparing, people have not noticed any major problems, but after comparing, they found that if Mr. Bennett really wants to take over the job of Mr. Joe Griman, it is not impossible for the people in the bank. accept.

In institutions such as banks, hilltopism is actually very prevalent. People don't like those cadres from branches and headquarters, they prefer those who slowly rise from the grassroots.

This kind of emotional resistance and need probably comes from the relationship between people, but on this issue, they all sided with Bennett.

"You're early too!" Bennett opened the door and replied, and said the other party's name by the way, which also made the face of the bank employee standing on the other side full of a certain smile.

The two nodded and parted. Bennett kept saying hello to others on the way to the office. He was in a great mood.

He went to an opera with Anne last night, and he could see that Anne didn't like the serious places like the opera house, nor did she like opera, but it was the most important part of high society life.

Educated people talk about art most of the time, they will discuss opera, oil painting, and everything related to these, so if you want to integrate into the upper class, you must first improve your quality and taste .

Don't touch those vulgar things again.

Anne is impatient and not very settled, but at least she can get her ass in a chair and spend the night with him, and then they applaud the opera singers for their wonderful performances and walk together under the stars On the street, we also had dinner together.

He watched Anne quickly change from a stripper girl to a member of the upper class in line with his aesthetics, which made him extremely happy, especially the feeling of domination, which filled Bennett's long-standing relationship between men and women and The lack of affection.

This is like real life, perfect life.

As soon as he entered the office, the secretary brought coffee. He used to be a little interested in his secretary, but now he is not so interested. You must know that Anne is much better than such a female cousin.

Without hesitation, he took the coffee and asked the secretary to close the door when he went out, and he started to deal with the work.

Career, family, double harvest, nothing can make a man feel happier than this.

Bennett, who was immersed in his work, quickly finished some simple tasks, followed by "big" work. People in the branch like to use the word "bulk" to describe the amount of work.

After opening the first one-inch-thick file bag, Bennett's expression became serious and serious. This was a commissioned job entrusted to the bank by the local court and the city hall.

In order to avoid some frauds in the judicial auction, the federal government unanimously passed the bill that the judicial auction should be conducted by a third party. The judiciary and the local government do not have the right to auction, but they have the power to monitor.

This seems to be able to solve some fraud to a large extent, at least both the person who proposed this idea and those who voted to pass it think so.

Previously, Sabine City reported on a large scale that the chemical production accident of Ristoane Chemical caused the living problems of deformed and disabled workers. Abandoned by his family, he died on the side of the road or in an orphanage.

The content of the report that is true and close to people's lives has greatly shocked all levels of society, and even affected some cities in other states. Citizens of some other cities also asked their city halls to check to see if they have similar things.

In short, the impact of this incident is definitely not small. After being petitioned by the citizens, and with the consent of the state judge and the Baylor Federal Department of Justice, Sabine City initiated a series of compensation procedures, including the asset auction process. .

I don't know if the bank is very capable in tackling key problems. They actually got this good opportunity. This really made Bennett have a good impression of the current president. At least he is doing things, and it is also seen by people. effectiveness.

He began to review this part of the documents. The city hall seized a light industrial production warehouse and production workshop under the Ristoian Group, and the pneumatic sewing machines used in mass production and some related operating machinery entered the auction list.

In addition, there are some raw materials for production. The city hall gave a minimum price that they can afford. In other words, the auction result of the bank must be higher than this minimum price, otherwise there will be a lot of handover. Trouble.

Bennett took a look, the price is not very high, even a little low.

However, referring to the current economic environment, the price requested by the city hall is still very reasonable. There will not be too many people interested in these machines suitable for production. No one knows what will happen next. Buying these machines now will It's like buying a pile of scrap metal.

But if workers are hired to produce, the cost will be too high.

After confirming that these documents and legal procedures are complete, Bennett began to deal with these things in accordance with the rules and regulations. First, he had to send some documents to the governor for approval, and then communicated with the city hall to determine the income of the bank.

Finally, he has to apply to the bank for a venue for the auction. If the city hall does not specify it, the last thing is to fill in the invitation card and make an auction announcement.

In fact, there are many interesting tricks in this regard. In the society, people can often hear people say that the assets auctioned at a certain auction are very cheap, just like picking them up for nothing, but this kind of hearing is always heard. It is difficult for ordinary people to participate.

The bank's announcement will never appear in the newspaper or anywhere, it will only appear in the bank's internal announcement, which cuts off the knowledge of the outside world.

There are probably only two types of people who can really come to participate in this kind of auction. One is the bank staff themselves and their relatives and friends. If there are relatively fragmentary and cheap items in the auction, these people will become the mainstream, such as some Official cars after the bankruptcy of the company, their price here is not even comparable to scrap iron!

There is also a kind of people who are actively invited by the bank. These people are often people who have a good cooperative relationship with the bank or have a huge deposit in the bank. They meet the invitation criteria of the bank-they have enough money to spend.

As for other people, they can probably only "hear" about it, and envy them. As for participating?

That is never possible.

In these tasks, except for asking the president to do it himself, other things can be handled in a "drafted" way, that is, write some opinions of your own, give a specific direction and goals, and the rest can be done. Leave it to someone else to do it.

For example, to apply for an auction site, it is impossible for Bennett to go to the city hall to contact the application, or to coordinate with other departments to use the bank's own site, all of which are done by those outside his office.

I thought this matter would be resolved soon, but a problem that he didn't expect appeared.

"There is no Joe Griman's signature on it..." This is the answer given by the president after reviewing his processing results, "Joe Griman is the director of the bank's credit department and also the director of the auction. You must first get his consent before I will sign this document!"

The president of the bank threw the documents back on the table casually, "The object of our cooperation is the city hall, not a certain department within the bank. We must follow the rules!", as he spoke, he straightened the table facing Bennett's triangular nameplate with titles like "President of the Bank" written on it.

Bennett has worked in the branch for so many years, of course he knew what the president meant, and of course he didn't misunderstand that this was dissatisfaction with himself. After all, the president made it very clear that this was the rule.

And his signature must be ranked behind or below Joe Griman, to show his respect for the rules in the bank and the potential rules of society.

If you don't respect the rules, the rules will hit you in the face.

Bennett has passed the age of challenging authority, he immediately left the governor's office with this document, and found Joe Griman in another office.

When he opened the door, Joe Griman was playing golf in the office. He had a twisted fairway about thirty feet long (ten meters) and five feet wide (one meter five), and a fruit about ten feet in diameter. Ridge's portable golf course.

This kind of fairway is very popular in many places. Golf is gradually replacing polo as one of the "new noble" sports. This is also a change in society. There is always a gap between the new generation of capitalists and the old capitalists. Some generation gaps and collisions.

As much as the old generation is keen on playing polo, then how much the new generation of capitalists are keen on golf.

When the door opened, Joe Griman didn't immediately stop what he was doing. He was still standing at the hitting point, constantly calculating how hard he needed to make the ball enter the hole.

"Wait a while, wait until I finish this ball!"

Just when he finished speaking, the golf ball rolled out along the fairway almost like a textbook putt, and slowly approached the hole until it fell into it!

"A beautiful ball!" Joe Griman commented and put the cue in the cue barrel, and walked towards his chair while unfastening the non-slip gloves on his hand.

: Comparing the upper class that Lynch came into contact with with Bennett's "upper class" to show that what Bennett came into contact with is not the real upper class, to highlight that he is actually dominated just like Annie, It's just that he is the one who dominates Anne, and hypocrisy and fame and fortune dominate him, which further names the real core of this relationship and also hints at the result.
