The Banker
Growing as a shoe-named Bernard Gerrad boy. His childhood as shoe polishmen in Willis, Texas
in 1939 in Bank Texas areas. As Bernard's briefman has a smart advantage and has a high curiosity. At
the time of free time he worked he often eavesdropped talking in a bank and noted in a small book he
always brought and studied all the terms said by bank employees.
Until several years passed Bernard also had his wife and child. His wife was named Eunice
Gerrad. And they moved to Los Angeles in 1954 and bought an apartment but unfortunately Bernard
was unable to repair the house because it wasn't enough. Finally, his wife had an initiative to introduce
the theme to help them.
The man named Joe Morris, one of the rich black-skinned businesses there, he has many bars
and shares is also close to the mayor to the vice president. When meeting Joe Morris who was being
surrounded by a few women Bernard felt that he was not a good person and did not want to do
business with him.
Finally Bernard came to a property investor named Patrick Barker and delivered his intention to
build property there, then the man saluted and sympathized to him but still did not give Bernand loans.
Finally, Bernard came to the largest bank in the city. Arriving there he met with the bank teller and said
he wanted to meet bank officials there but bank officials wanted to meet him. Bernard did not give up
and waited in front of the bank in the way to the side of the road to meet officials finally the effort did
not betray the results he got and expressed his intention to lend himself money and approved by the
bank official.
At night BernanRd got a call from Patrick Barker apparently he used the name of Patrick Barker
to get the loan with fear finally Bernanrd admitted that what he did was a mistake and was not suitable
in business ethics. But the unexpected thing happened, Patrick finally wanted to cooperate with Bernard
because he saluted his tenacity. This made Bernard very happy and he could buy and renonce the
house.
When renovating the house there was an old woman who had occupied a long time the
property bought Bernard. And the woman did not believe that Bernard who had the house because it
was a white complex and considered them was only a builder, finally the old woman reported Bernard
to the police on charges of interrupting. But the police could not take Bernard because he was the
owner of the house and he also brought a copy of the world's population. Then the old woman decided
to move from the apartment because she felt uncomfortable.
On one night Bernard and his term went to a party and there he came back with his wife's friend
named Joe Morris and a long talk at that time and Bernard began to find out about the character of each
other and he finally felt wrong before Joe Morris and they were now quite compact.
After a while finally the Bernard's effort went smoothly even he was able to buy other
properties and could even buy the house. Then Patrick offered fifty-fifty shares. However, shortly Patrick
died and Isri from Patrick did not want to continue his collaboration and would only give Bernard 25
cents per dollar result from their assets and it was far from the results of their agreement and great
value. Because Patrick did intend to deceive Bernard by not included his name in every transaction. The
end of Bernard's lawyer said that the only way was to bring bank employees and bank managers who
provided loans to be witnessed but the manager refused to meet let alone a witness.
Then Bernard came out of the bank with his keFrustation and looked around him until when
Bernard's eyes led to the Batu Bank Mid City Banking institution and he smiled and got an idea. Finally
Bernard came to the residence of Joe Morris asked for help and offered his idea, namely Bernard bought
the building in the big bank with so every financial matters they needed to be easily processed because
they would indirectly participate in the financial business but even though they had black men's money
would not be permitted to buy the building.
Finally they stretched Matt a white man who was indeed anti-discrimination in the skin color at
the time, finally Matt agreed to be their representative to buy the bank. Of course, to buy a bank or
expensive building, it is needed by a rich person and has a lot of knowledge, to meet these criteria,
Bernard and Joe train Matt to play golf correctly, because golf games are games played by rich people at
that time. Matt was also taught how to speak well until the way to calculate businesses in order to
convince previous building owners to sell the building. Until the day where Matt would buy a building,
Matt and the building owner negotiated each other until finally Matt got an agreement from the
negotiations. Then the bank on behalf of them until Bernard became a successful property entrepreneur
in LA as well as Joe which is getting richer.
Finally Bernard visited his father in Texas, and his father was very proud of what Bernard had
reached. When Bernard walked around with his son in Texas he visited the bank where he worked first
while shining shoes and asked JE to buy the building, Joe finally agreed and asked Matt to disguise again
to buy the building.
After buying the bank Bernard helps black people there to lend money to get a more feasible
life. But a man of a bank official named Florance asked the names of their money borrowers and Matt
could answer it easily but he was still suspicious. Until Florance found out everything to make them
gathered. The thing they feared was the coming of the financial audit from the central finance
department. The report of the Florance of several investors took the money at Bank Hinnga, Matt
offered and asked Bernard to buy him a bank to move the loan made by the bank. Initially Bernard did
not believe Matt's readiness but Matt threatened to stop and felt unable if not helped buy a bank.
Finally Bernard allowed Matt to buy his own bank. But the unexpected thing happened an audit
of the Ministry of Finance came not to the bank and branded and instead to Matt's banks. Even though
it was helped by Bernard but Matt failed to overcome questions from the financial audit. Finally, the
audit team suspended Bank Matt temporarily until it was found out of guilt, it would be closed. But Matt
turned out to be trapped and finally the bank was closed for a while because of the many unclear
transactions. Finally Bernard and Joe were arrested by the police when Bernard the trial he demanded
the right of every citizen of which was the same regardless of skin.
Finally Bernard and Joe were held for 3 years in prison and confiscated all their assets. After
coming out finally Bernard met his wife and Joe and it turned out they still had assets on the island of
Bahamas and they made the bar there and live happily. Because what Bernard Saaat said the Akhi
Session of the American government gave the freedom of black people or anyone to sell or rent out
without distinguishing races.
