In the Spring of 2017 four financial guys from Oslo shared their stories with us.

This series is based on those meetings and others with similar professions.

Would you like to tell us what happened here?

Sure ...

I may have pushed her against the wall.

That's the only thing. I have not done this.

The doctor was very clear that this cut in the eyebrow ...

Coming from a punch.

Or as a result of her being skulled straight from above.

-What does she say herself? - Fortunately, you have nothing to do with.

You, listen, I really want to help.

-So good. -But this ...

- I did not do that. -But how did she fall down the stairs?

I do not know. But I have not done anything.

So what you're telling me now is that a pregnant woman ...

This pregnant woman ...

Volunteer to throw yourself down a flight of stairs?

-And afterwards you took a trip abroad? -What?

You land in Nice the morning after -

- that you threw your pregnant girlfriend down a flight of stairs. Did you get scared?

- Did you just want to run away? -No, it was not like that.

Can you then tell me what it was like? Please.

Can you do it?

I had to go there to help a friend.

With what?

Nothing illegal at least.

Right ...

Then I think we say you can go.

And do not go abroad right away.

Then we will contact you.

You, Adam, I just have to ask one thing.

You have not asked how it is going, neither with her nor with the child.

Isn't it very strange for a guy who has not done any wrongful things?

-What ... -It's too late now.

But they're fine, both of them.

I just suggest you do not contact her until she contacts you.

Have a nice day.

-Hello? -The others are here now. Are you coming?

I'm coming now.

-William, hell ... -Now we go through this quietly.

William, can not you just be quiet?

I'm talking to Helene. Adam is going to kill you if you do not shut up.

-OK, Helene? -Yes. That was when he ...

Shot in the head?

-I'm just running the company until he ... -Yes, it's his company.

I'm just wondering why? Why did this happen?

William is one of the few who manages to get a return where others do not.

You do not have to hide anything. We're here because we want to save the company.

-We want William to have a happy life. -What are you going to do?

-You're talking about me in the third person! - You should have thought of that before!

Sit down.

Just let him be.

-OK, get to hear. -He hasn't been there that much lately.

And when he is there, he makes decisions we others do not completely agree with.

-Why? -I do not know.

But it was a lot of bad investments in a row.

After that it just went downhill.

We have had board meetings in his boat because he thinks the office has been tapped.

What we are going to do is that Adam, Henrik and I go in with capital.

You take full control and get rid of all bad investments.

We have to inflate the company before we sell it out. All investments we make, -

- we will take you on until things are paid back, and everything is solvent again.

If William asks, you say that the investment is about to pay off.

Now you can come back.

Yes. I think I ...

Yes ... It's special.

-He has gone insane. - No need to go bankrupt for it.

No. I help save him, if only for the sake of the children.

Especially when Henrik is also involved. But we can have nothing more to do with him.

No.

Unfortunately.

Yes. Ready for a quick beer?

Hi, you've been to Hermine Veile's. I can not ...

-Am I interrupting? -No.

-Is it going well? -Why do you ask?

I just wanted to say congratulations. I heard you were going to be a dad?

-Where did you hear that? -Adam, this house is leaking.

All men find this difficult at first.

But it's going to change your life. I never thought I would have children ...

Thanks. Was it something else?

Yes, Jeppe called. They have set up a meeting with Henrik in an hour.

Then there was a lawyer Nordstedt who will see you in his office at 16.

Here on Tjuvholmen. They did not say what it was, so I said I could not promise anything.

-The lawyers Nordstedt and Swang? - This is Adam Veile.

-How much is it about? -Difficult to estimate.

-How much must each of us go in with? -About 70. Divided into three.

-But we control the investments. -As long as he is out, we control this.

When he returns, we must find an arrangement.

-If not then he would go broke? -Hard to say.

-But he's not on the Forbes list, no. -I can not bear to read this.

But I'm in it. That's OK. He's totally ...?

-Clean crazy. -It's not certain for sure.

-No, you say? We're having another beer? -I will present the quarterly report.

- You're looking forward to it, I think? -It's not getting sexier than that.

-Quarterly report. -Yes, fine. When he's back, you said.

- Do you think he's coming back? -He needs some time.

He does not get less mad from some time.

He's had a lot of time and just gotten crazier and crazier.

We go and say have it to Dad first.

Get in the car and wait.

Put the bags in the trunk, and bring your iPads out.

Where are you going?

Do what we usually do when it's summer vacation. We're going to Tjøme.

And you should do what you usually do too, right? Be here and work?

You should not work this year, but ...

I think it might be best for you not to join.

Take care of yourself, then. Call if there is anything.

But do not visit us.

And where's Pim?

-May I ask you something? -Yes, anything.

Why did you actually get married? You had yours on the dry.

Except she's a little over average jealous.

Let's talk about something else. What about you?

You had an interrogation. What was that?

I was sore drunk after the wedding. I continued with alcohol alone.

Had taken a little too much powder.

Then I had excited myself like hell inside me.

As in ...?

I do not quite know.

No well?

I see myself strangling her and pushing her against the wall in the bathroom.

In the next now she is lying at the bottom of the stairs.

The pictures of her looked too damn good. I got to see them they took to the hospital.

But I can not have done it.

I'm not a woman abuser.

She's moved out, and I can 't get her.

I beat down my pregnant wife. What does it sound like?

-Yes, is she still pregnant? -Apparently.

And then she moved out?

Is not this what you really wanted?

You've talked about that relationship being over for four years now.

-Maybe that, but not that way. -Maybe this was just for the best?

-I have to talk to her. -No, you ... Now you have to make sense.

You were only with her because you were afraid to be alone.

You have not been happy for as long as I can remember.

Shall I help you?

I was the one who made her pregnant.

What are you saying?

The night we took synthetic marijuana, I went down to Thief. And she was there.

She complained that you were not pregnant, that you had taken a test.

It had gone so well and now maybe ...! I thought:

My God, is this what he listens to every day, no wonder he's moody.

So then I said that it was me who had delivered this test.

And that you, the man above all men, can not have children.

Then she took me on the cock, took me to the toilet, -

- and lay with me to punish you. She took the initiative to be unfaithful.

And this is win, win, win. You get out of a relationship you only complain about.

And she will not receive a penny, for I testify for you.

You were lying with Hermione, my wife, on the toilet at Thief?

-And told her I'm sterile? -Yes.

And I did it to help you.

For everyone else sees that that relationship takes away your spark of life.

Do not look at me like that. I feel completely different. I am married and have four children.

I can't go anywhere. While you are home free.

You're welcome!

Damn! I did it for you.

-Maybe I should tell your wife? -Yes do it.

Maybe I just need someone to make the decision for me? I wanted to help!

You egocentric fuck!

Adam! For your ... Damn!

-Kathrine Nordstedt. -Adam Veile.

-Now I'm excited about ... -The client has asked me to speak.

-In and with the strain. -Henrik, Hermine ...

Was that the best you came up with? Could not find one that was a step up?

-Or who was not a friend! -Let's get started.

My client wants the maintenance contribution of $5000 a month doubled -

- up to and including the year the child turns 18. Beyond that, she wants nothing.

Until the child turns 18 ?!

You're getting pregnant with one of my best friends, and then you want me to pay ?!

The clause on that sum will contain a discretionary agreement.

There will be nothing to belittle you. The child will be yours.

But there will be no requirement for participation in everyday life -

- or in the upbringing of the child.

You can pay for your whorechild yourself! Or even better: Ask Henrik.

He already has four. His newlywed wife probably takes it terrific.

I suggest you look at this when you have calmed down a bit.

-The office will contact you on Monday. -No.

-I beg you ... -Can you let her talk yourself?

Can you make it? You have not lost your ability to speak, have you?

-Then I think we should finish. -Shut up!

-It is OK. -Well, is that OK?

-I'm glad to hear. -Does it do that?

For five years we tried to have children together.

For five years I thought there was something seriously wrong with me, and you made me believe it.

-I'm saying you abused me ... -There is not a shred of truth in it!

But you will be investigated for that. If I tell people I can no longer bear ...

I wanted help to break out, but was confused and scared. Needed friendship.

And then I got pregnant with your best friend.

Don't you think it will cause people to start withdrawing a little from you?

Want to stop investing with you?

In general, your whole fucking facade -

- is not worth anything? You beat up your wife, -

- castrated you behind her back, and then she got pregnant with your best friend.

I have not submitted any review on you. It came from the hospital.

I have not been questioned yet. I said I needed a few days.

I do not want anything in your life.

Not the house, not the cars. Not Monaco, not the cabin, not the boat.

I want my child to grow up safe with a mother present.

It costs you $10.000 a month.

And it's probably about the same -

- which you use on cocaine?

Why?

That's something I should ask you, right?

You know what? There's one thing in all this that pleases me.

And that is that it is over.

I can not remember the last time I thought I love you.

shame

For I have loved you more than anything else.

Good morning, good morning.

It's time to rise.

Good morning, good morning ...

William?

William!

Please.

William, it's going well.

It goes well.

I'm here. It goes well.

-Now we will get help soon. OK? -Yes.

Yes? William ...

The quarterly index is therefore summarized 3.1% higher -

- than the estimate for the annual budget. Which means:

You are all well on your way to the 3.9 percent that trigger this year's bonus!

To make the report reasonably entertaining -

- I asked you to challenge me with a word that is relevant to us.

Some suggested speculators, some suggested greed, some suggested vices. Party Boy!

The winner is not a word, but a phrase:

"If you are on time, you're too late." Too late!

Our job is to stay ahead and look into the future! That's where the money is.

Then you have to have a leader who is older and richer than you.

And much better looking! Then he will never be jealous when you make a fortune.

On the contrary! He will encourage everyone to chase it for what it's worth!

Not just for them, but for everyone!

He shall not have a background from the public sector. Ivan Boesky, does that tell you anything?

Boesky is the speculator who came up with: "Greed is good!"

I'm not so happy for the word greed. Let's call it financial ambition.

And I would rather say that financial ambition is inevitable.

We are genetically engineered to be greedy! It separates us from animals.

Animals take only what they need to stay full through the winter.

Humans can, as the only race, project the idea of ​​the future.

We understand that the course of life is not limited to days. It is a year-long span.

We only have a small hatch to ensure that that life course is as comfortable as possible.

We are also the only ones who can imagine our own death. That life has an end.

Which in turn leads to existential anxiety and gives us a need to compensate.

Since we understand that we can do nothing about our own mortality, -

- it is more important for us than other species to have the best possible while we are here.

Those of us with the most financial ambition, we pull the others after us!

Steve Jobs started in a garage. Howard Schultz's parents lived off food stamps.

Sahid Kahn came from Pakistan to the United States. To work as a dishwasher.

He's worth seven billion dollars today!

In total, these employ more than three million.

Everyone has contributed to making this community a far more comfortable place to be.

What set Kahn apart from the one who washed up next to him?

Or Jobs from him in the garage next door? Financial ambition!

Without it, students would have no reason to do their absolute best.

Or people to go to work, inventors to propel technology forward.

When Lotto was to be marketed in Norway, Vereide's tagline was not: You can get rich.

It was much more concrete! A sack full of money in the hat.

The idea that you had a sack of money. You can finally do what you want.

Economic ambition is the mental engine that drives the world.

Without it, we would have been hundreds of years back in development.

So without people like us, who have moved society forward, -

- the standard of living of the man in the street would be as in the Middle Ages.

So when people talk about capitalism and laugh at their noses, they have to think about.

For capitalism can not be judged on the basis of motives.

It can only be judged by the fruits it has given us.

Not just as individuals, but as a species!

Does it require sacrifice? Yes, my God.

I have not seen the children awake in two weeks.

But I know I have a far more privileged life than most. So to you.

Ladies and gentlemen ...

The nicest bunch of financially motivated people I know of.

-You have to eat your food. -Yes, everyone has to eat.

I have to take this one.

Hey, Adam.

Pardon. But I meant what I said.

-I did it for you. -I know.

Can you go for a walk?

OK, of course. Hello.

You do not understand Norwegian, do you?

-No. -No, right ...

Megaphone escort service, please?

Hi! Dad is home!
