With the investment of new funds, Sophie continued to send batches of antiques to Zurich, and the antiquities experts invited from the United States settled in the underground warehouse of the bank, identified the items and classified them, and packed them by a special person and stored them in the safe, but because the number was too large, they had to call another group of people from the United States to help, although their income would be a little less, but it was more efficient, and the Metropolitan Museum would not give them too long vacations to earn extra money.

More than half a month later, with the joint efforts of fifteen experts and more than 20 assistants, more than 10,000 items were finally identified, and the researchers at the Guimet Museum invited by Sophie were indeed good, and no fakes had been found so far, but one hundred and seventy-six undervalued treasures were still singled out, and even seventeen of them could be regarded as national treasures in China, and these alone could save Chen Dahe a commission of one or two million US dollars.

It's not that the researchers of the Guimet Museum don't have enough appraisal level, it can only be said that there are too many things to identify, there is always a time to see the leakage, even if it is screened for the second time now, there will definitely be good things missing, but it doesn't matter, anyway, they are all in their own warehouse, and they can't run away after all, as long as there are no fakes, Chen Dahe is very satisfied.

In fact, to identify these antiques, the best level is still the group of old men who are engaged in research in the Forbidden City, but unfortunately they are all living national treasures, Chen Dahe can't invite any of them, well, he can't invite them, otherwise it will be terrible for the country to know, so let's just leave it like this, and talk about it later.

The antiques received were indeed many, but they also consumed all the money sent by Oliver, and even owed Sophie four or five million dollars in commission rewards, and the money in other aspects could not be moved, Chen Dahe had no choice but to select some antiques of ordinary value from them and prepare to send them to Southeast Asia to sell.

Just think of it as adopting and hiding, Chen Dahe comforted himself, it's not the way to collect if you only get in and don't go out, if you don't put something out to stir up, can the price still heat up!

Think about the 85 years when a beast head in the Old Summer Palace only cost 1,500 US dollars, but in 2009, it soared to 14 million euros, an increase of more than 12,000 times, but that is a special case, it is the foreign party using the domestic national feelings to hype, it is not desirable, but unfortunately there is no beast capital in the antiques received this time, otherwise he would not mind taking it back and donating it, in fact, these are building components, leaving the building, the value will be greatly reduced, greatly discounted, only some research value remains, so they are not as independent as a very famous painting in the Song Dynasty and a very complete bronze of the Shang Dynasty, and it is not meaningful to keep it。

The acquisition of antiques has come to an end for the time being, and Jerome's bank management team has also been formed, although the number is small, but they are all elites in the financial industry, although the sparrow is small, the company structure is also built according to the business framework of the universal bank, and if you want to expand the business in a certain direction in the future, you only need to increase the number of people, so as not to start from scratch.

On a traditional auspicious day in the West, the Third International Bank was officially opened.

The apparent head of this bank is Jerome, and the Liechtenstein government will keep the capital behind it completely secret, and there will be no danger of leakage for at least 30 years.

If you want to ask what to do in 30 years? Change places and shells, as long as Chen Dahe is willing, it doesn't matter how many coats he changes a year, even if the governments of Europe and the United States coerce these tax havens to publish information thirty or forty years later, they can only get the account information of a group of ordinary people, and the big conglomerates have always been free from supervision, and it is difficult for people to find out what they are doing, and even if they let people know at that time, it doesn't matter, and it is not earned by some improper means, and the government still wants a few more rich Chinese, is that also the competitiveness of the country?

After a brief opening ceremony, Jerome came to an office on the top floor with a little depression, but it was not like an office, but like a place to relax.

Walking to the bar counter that was almost as big as the bar and sitting down, Chen Dahe, who was opposite, raised the red wine in his hand, "Do you want a drink?"

Jerome shook his head, "I never drink alcohol during working hours, just coffee." ”

A beautiful woman in her thirties next to her immediately took out the coffee beans and began to grind them by hand.

"Thank you," Jerome smiled and nodded, just about to talk to Chen Dahe, but he was suddenly stunned and turned back suddenly, "Are you, Lady Anais Theo?"

The grinding rod in Aines' hand didn't stop, and he raised his head and smiled, "Hello, Mr. Jerome." ”

Jerome also reacted at this time, and looked at Chen Dahe with emotion, "Is Mr. Theo serving you now?"

Chen Dahe smiled and looked at him with a little surprise, "You knew each other before?"

"Yes," Jerome nodded, "In the past, in Paris, the Bruno family's family finances were taken care of by Mr. Theo, and we used to work together. ”

Theo is the housekeeper James found for Chen Dahe, a rigid and strict old man in his fifties, in addition to him, there are also his wife, daughter and son-in-law, and even a little granddaughter, a family of six moved to Zurich to serve Chen Dahe, Aines is his daughter, on the second day of his appointment, he formed a team of sixteen servants, including cooks and gardeners, and the means slipped to fly.

As for the Bruno family, they are naturally Theo's previous head family, but they don't have the luck of the Bruis family, they are already bankrupt and not worth mentioning.

Ainas brewed his coffee and quietly placed it in front of Jerome, "Sir, your coffee." ”

After smiling and responding to Jerome's thanks, he drifted back into the room like a clear cloud, without a sound from beginning to end.

Jerome smacked his lips, "Boss, it seems that I have underestimated your origins, Theo only serves the aristocracy, there were rich men in Paris who offered an annual salary of 500,000 francs, Theo refused, and only wanted to live hard with his family in the old house in the country, how did you invite him?"

Chen Dahe shrugged, "James told him, I am a descendant of a royal family from China, the surname Chen can be traced back to the era of the Five Emperors 4,200 years ago, and there are many years of founding and succession to the throne in later generations. ”

"Really?" Jerome's face was full of surprise, "I didn't expect you to have such a glorious ancestor!"

Chen Dahe blinked and whispered, "Of course, this has absolutely nothing to do with the annual salary of 150,000 US dollars. ”

Jerome almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, 150,000 US dollars, which is five times his basic annual salary, which is directly double the high price offered by the rich Parisian man, not to mention finding him a step, even if he directly said to serve the nouveau riche, Theo can't refuse!

It's not a good thing to say bad things about people behind his back, not to mention that Ainas is inside, so he quickly talks about other things.

"Ahem," Chen Dahe coughed dryly, "Jerome, when you came in just now, I noticed that your face was not very good-looking, is there something wrong with the opening ceremony?"

As soon as he heard this, Jerome's face fell, "It's not because of the name of the company, the business representative of UBS is always sneering, saying that we want to be the third in the world, and I don't ask other banks if they agree, boss, why do you have to take this name, I think Enzo Commercial Bank is very good." ”

Chen Dahe blinked, "I just want to be the third in the world, Jerome, believe in yourself, you can!"

Later, when others ask how big their bank is, they will say lightly, generally, the third in the world, even if it is not the third, it is also the third, and it is very touching to think about it!

Well, that's the bad taste.

Jerome opened his mouth, "Boss, is this the company's long-term goal?"

Not to mention anything else, there are hundreds of banks in Switzerland alone, and if you want to be the third in the world, are you kidding?!
