Chicago, the news of William Dever's boarding the plane has reached Li Zitao's ears, and after hanging up the phone, Li Zitao got up from his seat, "Jesse." ”

“BOSS。 Jesse, in his little heels, ran in, and as he was about to kick the table leg, his toe naturally crossed the S-shape, avoiding the nightmare of kissing again.

"Accompany me to the banquet tonight, Sanielle has something to do. Looking up and down at the blonde cuteness, Li Zitao rubbed his chin and asked, "Do you have suitable clothes?"

"Huh?" Blinking blankly, Jesse thought for a long time, tilted his head and said, "Is it okay to wear a long dress at the graduation party?"

"......" Li Zitao was completely desperate, how blind he was in the first place, so he agreed to let her stay.

"Let's go, I'll take you to buy clothes. "It takes 5 hours to get from New York to Chicago, and it's more than enough to buy a proper dress.

Looking at her long blonde hair draped casually, she said to herself, "Let's make another hair." ”

Originally, he wanted to find Sanille, but compared to this confused secretary, Sanille, who is capable, shrewd, and exudes mature femininity, is more suitable to be tonight's dance partner.

It's a pity that these two days are the end of the harvest season, and the whole think tank is busy, and Sanielle can't take a break at all.

Gorgeous mile, Li Zitao found that he came here more and more often, and in just one month, he was here for the fourth time.

This is not in line with the positioning of salted fish, I am afraid that I will turn over too quickly and drink water and swell?

When he got out of the car, Jesse was dazzled by the rows of luxury stores on both sides of the road, and the whole person was in a state of sleepwalking.

You must know that in any store here, any piece of clothing, or bags, or jewelry, is enough to offset her annual salary.

"Hurry up, you only have ......" Li Zitao habitually raised his hand, and when he saw his bare wrist, he remembered that the high-imitation A Patek Philippe, which he bought for 800 in his previous life, was long gone.

"Wait for me there later. Stretching out his hand and pointing to the café diagonally opposite, Li Zitao took out a metal card from his pocket and handed it to Jesse, then turned around and walked to the opposite side.

He was going to buy a pocket watch or a watch, which was not very popular in those days, and the aristocracy and men stubbornly believed that watches were something worn by women, and that the thin strap, the light and fluttering clock, was not enough to show their status and nobility.

Jesse, who was left in place by "???", was like a lost cute cat, looking at the metal card in his hand with a cute face, shivering in the cold wind.

Jingle ~~

"Ma'am, do you need help?" said the owner of the high-end ladies' dress shop behind him, smiling as he opened the door, behaving elegantly like a lady.

Nodding quickly, Jesse, who had no idea what was going on, was pulled into the store by the good-looking woman.

"What kind of clothes do you need, we can tailor them for you, but ...... It may take some time, and you can also pick among these clothes,

These clothes are from the hands of famous Parisian designers, Chanel, Chaparelli, you know, she is known in Paris as the Venus of fashion,

This dress, which was designed by the fashion giant Paul Maestro Paul, made Parisian ladies rush to ......"

The lady introduced the dazzling array of dresses, and when her eyes swept over the metal card, her eyes unnaturally burst with envy and greed.

The aristocratic gold card issued by the First National Bank of Chicago, if you want to have such a card, your personal assets are at least 5 million US dollars, 'what a fat big fish.' ’

The VIP Gold Card is the highest level of credit card issued by the First National Bank of Chicago, and such a metal card is 100 times more valuable than any diamond and black card in later generations.

No more than 15 people in the entire Illinois own the card, and if the interstate restrictions on banks are lifted, only 50 people in the whole of the United States are eligible to own it.

As long as you show this card in the store that supports consumption, you can spend as much as you want, and all expenses will be advanced by the First National Bank afterwards, and the amount is unlimited.

Of course, this infinity is just an exaggerated metaphor, because for now, even if you empty all the stores that support consumption, they won't spend more than millions.

But having such a card means that the entire First National Bank of Chicago will guarantee the cardowner's purchases, no matter how much he spends.

The First National Bank of Chicago stands behind the Chicago consortium of the eight major conglomerates in the United States, and this bank is the economic entity of its consortium.

As early as the early 20th century, the United States began to enter the era of credit card consumption with the first oilfield credit card issued by oilfield companies.

By the end of the 20s, the American people used credit cards to buy $6 billion in goods, when the value of the entire society was only $2 billion.

The Great Depression will become more severe and last for a decade because American citizens have too much overdraft spending power and ideas.

As the old saying goes, 'The heart is so fucking big, and the pigs can't fill it in.'" ’

In the wake of the Great Depression, First National Bank of Chicago made a series of big moves, such as raising the demand rate to 18 percent and rerating its customers.

Stop any lending business, and join the McCormick family to speak out, First National Bank has $2 billion in savings, and is fully capable of weathering any difficulties.

This is not the time to hide, and every bank is eager to inflate its capital by a factor of 10 or 100 so that its customers can rest assured that they will not follow in the footsteps of a run.

Banks are all about saving money, and even the largest banks will be afraid of a crazy run, except for central banks that can print money, such as the Federal Reserve.

Of course, if that were the case, the knife would also depreciate into a pile of waste paper.

NO: 00018, the only aristocratic gold card issued by the First National Bank of Chicago after the stock market crash.

According to the information received by the lady, the identity of the owner of this card is very mysterious, and even the senior management of the bank is only known to a few people.

But First National Bank President Aiken once said, "The owner of the No. 18 Gold Card will be one of the most honored guests of our bank during the Great Depression." ”

So what's there to worry about, at a time when the economy is tight and everyone is tightening their belts, being able to meet such a big fish is like being hit by a pie for her.

"Is it all right?" Jesse's pupils grew brighter and brighter as his eyelids blinked.

"It's so beautiful, it seems like I want to, I want it all......" The little confusion was already stunned.

"Of course, you can choose as much as you like. The lady covered her mouth with her hand and smiled.

"All...... Wrap it all up. Jesse can guarantee that when she said this, there was absolutely no brain thinking, not even 1 second of non-existent.

After signing his name and stamping the card in a box filled with the clay, Jesse walked out of the store satisfied, knowing that the items he had just purchased would be delivered to him later.

"Hee-hee, this card is amazing, try the next one. The little fox snickered, Jesse's eyes glittered with jewels, and he looked up at Tiffany next to him.

Li Zitao didn't know that the confused secretary was turning into a gold worshipper, squandering around with his card, and looking at the posture was to buy out all the gorgeous mile.

At this moment, he is sitting in an antique shop full of a sense of the times, choosing his favorite pocket watch, and Li Zitao is interested in many things here.

Especially the dusty porcelain bottles and picture scrolls that were placed on the top of the shelves, he seemed to have seen a snuff box covered with cobwebs, absolutely sheep's fat jade.

"Sir, this pocket watch comes from Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire, and it is the heirloom of the watchmakers of the entire D country at that time. ”

Holding a pocket watch made of sterling silver, engraved with the Habsburg emblem of the double-headed eagle, with a ruby embedded in the middle of the case, the old man sitting behind the low table blew a roar.

Li Zitao also listened with relish, although he didn't know if the origin of this pocket watch was real, but the erudition of the old man opposite was undoubted.

Let's listen to the life of Charles V, his father was Philip I, his mother was Queen of Castile, his grandfather was Ferdinand I of Aragon, and his grandmother was Elizabeth I.

The union of his grandparents led to the founding of Spain, followed by his grandfather, the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I, and his grandmother, the duke of the Duchy of Burgundy.

He was also King Carlos I of Spain, the Dutch monarch, the King of Germany, the Holy Roman Emperor, and a member of the Habsburg dynasty.

"Hold the grass, count the close relatives of this guy, it can form half a century of history, this is called a winner in life!" Li Zitao was dumbfounded.

Reincarnation is indeed a science, and posture is very important. Silently sighing in his heart, Li Zitao interrupted the old man who was like a river, "How much?"

"Hehe, sir, you really have a vision, this heirloom only needs 20,000 US dollars, it is definitely worth the money, if it weren't for you and me, I wouldn't have taken it out,

Historically, it's truly priceless......"

The old man's mistake was made again, and Li Zitao's embarrassment was also committed, and he had a sense of déjà vu when he met the white-bearded old man on the street.

"Young man, today you and I are destined, I see that you are full of heaven, your bones are amazing, I have a secret book here, and the mission of defending world peace will be handed over to you......"

"Wise, I want it. Li Zitao rubbed his head and said.

"What? wait, where did I just go?" Wyster licked his parched lips intently, not even hearing what he said.

"I said, 20,000 US dollars, I want it. Li Zitao raised his voice.

West was a little confused, and only reacted after half a ring, "You really want it?"

"That's right, 20,000 US dollars, I want it. Li Zitao took out the checkbook, signed 20,000 US dollars and put it on his desk.

"But I have a request, the crockpots above are given to me as gifts, you see, I'm a Chinese and want something from my hometown. ”

Li Zitao pointed to the porcelain vases on the shelves, deliberately using 'clay pots' to devalue them.

West didn't pay attention to him at all, but rubbed the pocket watch in his hand with his thumb, and looked down at the pocket watch covered with scratches, with a deep reluctance in his eyes.
