:44:02
Brenda?
:44:03
- Of course. l'm sorry. How are you?
- So l finally get to put a face to the voice!
:44:08
- My God, you are so young!
- Well, ageing rapidly, l'm afraid.
:44:12
Can you come into my office? l really do
need to talk to you about the figures.
:44:16
l'm meeting Peter Norris in three minutes.
:44:18
Oh. Well, do come in right after, OK?
:44:21
Nobody out there can answer
our questions but you.
:44:23
And they just asked for
another ton of funding.
:44:27
- All right. This one?
- Yeah.
:44:30
Brenda was my cash lifeline.
:44:32
She was the last person l wanted
asking awkward questions.
:44:37
But first l had to deal with Peter Norris.
:44:39
He's such a red-hot trader
l'm having him come in overnight!
:44:42
Are you really?
:44:44
You can't keep Nick away from the floor.
He's the key man in Singapore.
:44:48
Sounds like you're the key man in Asia.
:44:51
He's insane! You should see
how he takes that market on.
:44:54
- Are you enjoying yourself?
- Yes, it's all right.
:44:56
(both) ''All right''?
:44:59
(they laugh)
:45:01
Now, we need to talk about merging the
sales areas in Asia. Nick has some views.
:45:06
lf we can replicate his success
in Hong Kong and Tokyo...
:45:10
What do you think, Nick?
:45:12
lt does make a lot of sense to merge.
:45:15
There would need to be
controls, of course,...
:45:18
..but the trading books can be used to
supplement a customer's requirements...
:45:23
..and increase information flows.
:45:26
Synergetically.
:45:28
Exactly. Synergy.
:45:29
So you see, Peter, Nick agrees.
:45:32
And he's been very successful
with his customers. They love him!
:45:36
Yes, excellent.
Well, keep up the good work,...
:45:39
..and Ron, you sort out
what you want with this merger.
:45:42
Now, gentlemen, l really have to...
:45:44
- Good to meet you.
- Nice to meet you. Cheers.
:45:48
l think that went well.
He seemed to go for the merger idea.
:45:52
- Oh, he did. He really went for it!
- This'll be good for you too, Nick.
:45:56
They'll give you some kind of
fancy new title! (chuckles)
:45:59
Uh... Nick!
