Capone was the office manager of Colossal Investments Headquarters’ advanced investment department.
He was mainly in charge of a sum of funds from the headquarters, and his job was to help this sum of funds grow on the securities market.
The more profit he made, the more his bonus was. There were many advanced investment office managers like himself in Colossal Investments, and they would all undergo a performance evaluation every month. The only metric to this evaluation was the amount each investment manager earned the investment bank, with the most profitable person gaining the largest benefits.
Therefore, Capone was under a lot of pressure to perform.
He was in a great mood today.
“Mr. Morrison, thank you for your information. I’ll make sure to remember your kindness.”
Capone held the phone with his legs crossed. His shiny leather shoe twirled around slightly as he spoke flatteringly.
“You were our closest classmate during university. How could I possibly forget you when there’s such a great opportunity before us?”
Morrison’s tone was calm on the other end of the line. “I’m sure you know this Capone, but I hope you do as you promised.”
Capone smiled in response and replied, “Rest assured. As long as I receive any news from the senior executives about Jasper, I’ll tell you immediately.”
“Thanks to your information, I’ll be able to dominate all my opponents during this month’s performance evaluation. I’ll have much greater chances of being the deputy manager of the investment department, and I’ll be able to source information from the higher ups.”
“There’s a Somer phrase saying ‘take as you need’. I believe that our partnership will be a merry one, but I do suggest that you keep a low profile.
“After all, according to the information I have, the president of Colossal Investment’s Terra regional branch, Celine Maynard, had defended Jasper during the senior manager conference. This caused your senior members to feel rather concerned.”
“Don’t worry, Morrison. You work in the investment bank business as well, and I’m sure you know that when it comes to the senior executives, profit is always the most reliable partner. Any lesser partnerships, for example, when it comes to the defense of a single person, are pointless.”
After ending the call, Morrison, the president of Layman Investment Bank’s Terra regional branch, sat in his office with a joyful smile on his face. The monitor before him showed the overall market trendline for the Dow Jones Index.
