A small question mark suddenly appeared on Pedro's head. Mr. Stone knew that he was the general manager of the Bali branch of Edge Fund, but what could he do with an unknown person like him?
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Despite his doubts, Pedro followed his instructions and went to the door of the general manager's office on the fourth floor and knocked politely.
"Please come in."
He felt very strange. There was a woman's voice coming from the room.
I remember that Mr. Stone’s secretary is a man, and there are no female executives in the Bali branch of the fund.
"S... uh, where is Mr. Stone?" Pedro walked in without thinking much, but immediately changed the subject after saying one word.
There was only one woman sitting behind the desk in the entire office, and the room didn't look like it could hide anyone.
"Hello Mr. Pedro, I'm actually looking for you to introduce myself. You can call me Ms. Sophie. I am in charge of the Edge Fund. Sit down wherever you want. You're welcome."
Pedro sat on the sofa cautiously, watching Sophie stop talking. Sophie said directly: "Mr. Pedro, please don't think too much. I have been observing you for a long time and know that you have always wanted one." A stable and formal job, am I right?”
His heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat. Pedro didn't believe there was a free lunch in the world. The other party was asking him what he wanted to do! ?
Thinking of this, he asked nervously: "What do you want me to do?"
Sophie looked at him with admiration: "You are indeed a smart person, but you have misunderstood. It is not what we want to do but what you want to do. Are you right? Mr. Pedro?"
Pedro was confused by Sophie's words. What did it mean?
Is there really such a thing as pie in the sky?
"Ms. Sophie, what do you mean by this?"
"Mr. Pedro, I know your experience. You have been precocious and self-disciplined since you were a child, but you gave up the opportunity to go to school to your younger brother, and you studied various courses by yourself. And when you were conducting militia training in your hometown, you Every achievement is first.
Three years ago, after your brother was admitted to the University of Madrid, you left your hometown and came to Bali. However, you did not join various gangs like other Albarian immigrants. Whenever you had time, you went to the library to read and study or went to various talent recruitment sites. The market is all about finding a stable job, am I right? "
Pedro calmed down at this time, "So, Ms. Sophie, are we having an interview now?"
Sophie said incredulously: "It's okay if you think so. I have a very good job here that I would like to introduce to Mr. Pedro. What do you think?"
Pedro said: "I have to know what I'm going to do, right?"
Sophie looked at Pedro and said: "The general manager of Edge Fund in Europe!"
"Ahem..."
Pedro coughed immediately after hearing this.
Holy shit!
Are you kidding me!
What do you like about me? Can’t I change it? !
"Miss Sophie, are you kidding?!"
Sophie immediately explained: "That is the position that Mr. Pedro will take after he successfully passes the assessment. The remaining four months of this year will be your assessment time. From tomorrow to the last day of this year, you will He is the director of the market development department of the Gaul Branch of Edge Fund, responsible for the fund's market expansion in Gaul.
Next year, your status will depend entirely on your performance in these four months. If you successfully pass the assessment, not only will all of Edge Fund's European business be handed over to you to manage, you can even go one step further and join us completely. "
Pedro was also moved after hearing this. It seemed that the other party did not simply treat him as a pawn that could be abandoned at any time, but he remembered a serious problem.
"Well, I just took the blame so hastily? Will the people under the market expansion department be convinced?"
"Don't worry, you are the only one in the market expansion department now."
Damn it!
Pedro finally managed not to curse.
Why do I still think you want me to take the blame?
He suddenly wanted to refuse the olive branch offered by the other party, but judging from Sophie's tone, if he refused, he might lose his life.
Pedro had no choice but to adjust his mood and take one step at a time.
At this time, he straightened his position and sat upright: "So, Ms. Sophie, what is my task? If you just want to set up a new department, there are many suitable people, and you won't come here specially. You are looking for me, now I just hope that the assessment you mentioned is indeed true."
Sophie signaled him to relax, "You really don't have to worry too much. If you really want to find one, we have plenty of candidates who can be abandoned at any time. Didn't I say that if you pass the assessment, you can officially join?" For us, even if you fail the assessment, you are still the manager of the market expansion department."
After listening to Sophie's comfort, Pedro finally felt a little more relaxed. It seemed that the other party really found him because of his talents in certain aspects, and wanted to develop him into one of his own.
Then Pedro heard Sophie say: "In addition to developing the fund's business in Gaul, you have two main tasks.
One is to take care of the money so that others don’t pay so much attention to it.
The second is to integrate the marginalized people employed by the fund to form a mutual-aid society and spread it throughout Gaul.
Oh, you don’t have to go out and do it yourself, just control it behind the scenes. Remember to be more organized. If you don’t understand, just read more Chinese high school politics textbooks. "
Pedro was completely relieved after hearing the previous words, but he almost burst into tears when he heard the last sentence.
Holy shit!
What do you want to do? !
This is Europe, a paradise for capitalists!
If you want to make big news, don’t involve me!
"Uh, don't get excited, don't get excited, remember it's just a reference, a reference..." Sophie saw that Pedro's expression was wrong and quickly comforted him, and then she managed to calm down the other person's emotions.
Pedro immediately threw the last sentence to the back of his mind and began to think about two tasks.
Regarding the first one, he thinks it can be done easily. There should not be too many fringe funds in Europe that carry out other activities under the name of public welfare funds.
Some do it to avoid taxes, some do it to launder money, some do it to transfer huge amounts of funds, and some do it simply to cover for other things.
But these funds all have one thing in common, that is, they really carry out social welfare activities. Therefore, as long as this kind of fund is not trying to make a big mistake, the government will not control it.
And others won't go too deep into it. After all, everyone will use some public welfare funds as vests to achieve their own goals. Who knows what monsters are behind the funds? As long as it's not too much, who will care about what the funds have. Something fishy?
In this case, he only needs to deal with the employees on the fringes of society.
It just so happens that the second task can be solved by establishing a well-organized mutual aid society. According to Sophie, doesn't it mean to organize a labor union controlled by a fund?
He could completely use some of the better-performing employees in the Bali area as key personnel, and then through his connections with fellow villagers, absorb other fellow villagers from all over Gaul into the association, and it would develop so quickly.
After the number of people reaches a certain number, you can slowly select some reliable core personnel, and then it will be a hard work.
I believe that it is not difficult for a fund-raising tiger to do this in Gaul. As the association develops, it can also vigorously cooperate with the fund to expand throughout Gaul.
With the establishment of a society, when the fund is dealing with the government or other underground forces, there is no need for people from the fund to come forward directly. The society composed of these employees can come forward, and there is no need for him to stand at the front desk and control behind the scenes. It seems that Sophie is really The plan is to train him as a core member. It seems that there is still some energy behind the fund.
