자막 (25)

0:00When you're well to do and you sort of get irritated at your boss,

0:03the next day you go in and you quit because you can.

0:06You needed more capital. So, you decided to IPO a portion of the company as well. That

0:10made you a stunningly rich man, didn't it? I think somewhere in the region of $90 million dollars.

0:15Well, we maybe have different thresholds for what's stunning, it certainly made me...

0:19Well, compared to where you are now Lloyd, I appreciate that but...

0:20It certainly made me a lot wealthier, but I wasn't stunned by it at the time.

0:24I think this tells a lot about you, if I may say so. I think you were suddenly wealthy by the way,

0:28and I think you knew it because you know where you came from,

0:31you've never forgot East New York and Brooklyn as well. But a lot of the partners thought I can

0:35do other things here, and a lot of them did and they went into politics you talk about.

0:38They bought sports teams

0:39Sports teams - You stayed. So I think that does tell a lot about you and what drives you as well.

0:44Yeah, I mean that's the answer, I just am wired... I liked what I was doing,

0:49you know people also left, partly people left

0:52because they wanted really to defend their wealth that they had acquired.

0:56Look, we all suffer, you know, we all go to work every day,

0:59and the boss does something that annoys us and guess what, you go home,

1:03you complain to your spouse and then you come in the next day and you sort things out.

1:08But when you're well to do, and you sort of get irritated at your boss,

1:12the next day you go in and you quit, because you can.

1:15Keeping people at that point was a little bit different.

1:18People had previous notions of what was wealthy and somehow, they leaped way beyond that,

1:22and so some people decided to leave, they were probably making the right decision for themselves.

1:26It wouldn't have been the right decision for me, what would I have done for the next thirty years.
