"Well, President Chan, I want to buy shares in a company owned by the bank, and I'm flexible about the price. Can we discuss this?" Finn Lewis straightforwardly proposed, leaving Mr. M and Duncan momentarily perplexed about what Finn was planning.
"Uh? Company shares owned by the bank? Which one?" Matthew Chan was stunned. He wanted to say that such a decision was beyond his purview, as he was merely a branch manager of the bank. Even a CEO of the bank would not be able to make such a decision, it would require a board meeting.
"South California Standard Chartered Bank," Finn Lewis revealed his goal.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was momentarily taken aback. Mr. M was first confused, then had an epiphany, followed by speechlessness. He looked at Finn with an expression that signified a loss for words.
