Mr. Jones. (CC1 CC2)

Mr. Jones was your average everyday guy. He had a simple 9-5 day job. He was an accountant at a small firm. He didn't work too much with clients. He was more or less a stock boy, but then one day he got the call from his boss saying it was time for him to try to help a client invest their money, and help them plan their future. The only thing that Mr. Jones didn't know is that his client was known as the hardest man to crack. Nobody in the firm could ever reason with him or get him to understand what to do with his money. Mr. Jones was more than excited for his first actual client. He packed up his suit case with all the files he needed without looking at them and he headed out. He arrived at the client's house a little early, so he sat in the driveway looking over the files. Once he read the name he got really confused and somewhat upset because he knew it was the man who wouldn't reason with anybody, so he called his boss. As his boss was answering the client pulled in and knocked on his window. Mr. Jones was startled so he hung up the phone and got out of the car and introduced himself. They went through the normal introduction, and the client invited him inside. Mr. Jones had no idea how he was going to tackle this because he has never had a client before, so he was starting to get really nervous. Mr. Jones pulled out the files from the briefcase and read the name again "Jeremy Bell." Mr. Jones asked Mr. Bell what he wanted to do with his money and where he saw himself in the next couple of years. Mr. Bell was quite surprised with the change. All of the other people that have come to see him always told him what to do and told him now. Mr. Bell explained how he makes a good amount of money a year, and what his bills were. Mr. Jones put it all together and figured out how much was left over for Mr. Bell to invest or spend as he would like. Mr. Bell really liked this because it was what he wanted to do and not what someone else wanted him to do. Mr. Bell explained that he wanted a new car, something nicer than his current car. His current car was a 2008 Nissan 350z. He bought the car brand new and paid it all off already. Mr. Bell asked Mr. Jones if he could sell his current car and purchase a new one with a payment plan if that would work for him. Mr. Jones asked what Mr. Bell wanted. He said he wanted a 2014 Subaru Wrx Sti. The price of this car was kind of high, but Mr. Bell really wanted it. Mr. Jones started looking through his past bills and everything to see if he ever missed a payment on anything and if he had good credit. The files said that he has never missed anything once. All his bills were paid on time and that he never had missed a payment for anything. This made things so much easier for Mr. Jones because he could tell Mr. Bell he could get away with doing that. It wasn’t the best idea, but if that’s what he wanted to do, he could get away with it without changing his current lifestyle. This was music to Mr. Bell’s ears. Mr. Bell shook Mr. Jones’s hand and thanked him.
