Chapter 1127 - 1132: Picking Out
The scene was momentarily awkward, but Xiao Ran always maintained a nonchalant demeanor, so it quickly returned to normal.
"Alright, let’s start by selecting positions that are worth recruiting. First and foremost, anyone below Larry Bell is fair game for persuasion. The higher the position, the better. However, we all know that attempting to buy off someone in a high position can be quite dangerous, not just a question of difficulty."
"So, from vice-president to traders at Bell Securities, every position is up for grabs, depending on whether they’re worth the effort and whether it’s worth spending a significant amount of money and energy in the short term."
"So which positions within an investment bank are worth making a considerable effort to recruit? The first is the president’s assistant, an extremely critical position. Many vice-presidents may be unaware of certain matters, but the president’s assistant knows them. Unfortunately, those who can become the president’s assistant are usually trustworthy, in other words, there’s hardly an opportunity to buy them off, and even if there was, it would take too long."
"What other positions are we definitely looking to recruit? The risk control department, a very crucial department, from its head to the ordinary staff, is worth recruiting. You should focus all your efforts on taking over this department, no need for further discussion, just go for it."
"Also, the decision makers. This category is quite broad, but anyone who can have a say in the board or who holds a significant amount of actual power in the operations of the bank is worth recruiting. We’re not recruiting anyone specific for a particular case now, but purely for sabotage. So anyone with the potential to disclose information is worth winning over."
Boer said a lot, but just as he was about to continue, Anton waved his hand and said, "This stuff you’re saying... it’s pretty much nonsense. Please, trust me, if I need to turn someone, if I need to recruit an insider, knowing what you’ve said is basic common sense."
Boer was slightly taken aback, while Anton continued with an air of resignation, "So don’t tell me who’s worth recruiting. If you can be more specific, like identify a particular person, then continue. But if you can’t pinpoint a specific target, then we should move on to other things instead of wasting time."
Boer sighed and said, "Alright, I apologize. I was... well, I’m used to giving detailed briefings to subordinates."
