"Boss, you should give us a bonus, I need a mental damage fee to compensate for the shock I received!" Pete finally breathed a sigh of relief as he stood in the airport lobby, and he joked with Jia Lei.

"Everyone has worked hard this time, and I will give each of you a large bonus!" Jia Lei said, standing on the land of Hong Kong Island, where they are safe for the time being.

You must know that the investment advisory group was originally only responsible for investment issues and did not need to flee, but this time it was Jia Lei who affected all of them.

"Sorry sir, I apologize to you for Pete's behavior, serving customers is what we should do without any additional compensation. Fall said that because of his age and seniority, the advisory group is temporarily led by him.

"No! This is not a compensation but a reward, I think your bank should allow customers to give you bonuses! You must know that I am not short of money!" Jia Lei slapped his pocket vigorously and said, although there is no money in his pocket, there is no shortage of money in his account.

"Of course, our bank allows customers to give bonuses to employees, boss, I thank you in advance! You can spend your money however you want. Pete said happily.

"I should really think about it, what kind of stocks do you think I should buy? I can't keep this money in your bank for interest. Jia Lei said casually, but as soon as this sentence came out, all the people in the advisory group turned pale.

"The boss actually keeps the money in the bank and eats the interest, which is quite good. Ethan whispered.

"Now that the global financial crisis is not doing well, you might as well keep your money in the bank. Old man Farr also persuaded.

"Hmm...... Saving money in the bank can also be a kind of financial management, our bank has several funds and large fixed deposit certificates, and the annual income is good......" Pete's voice became smaller and smaller under Jia Lei's glare, and finally he couldn't continue.

"Pete, don't you forget that you are my investment advisor? Daddy Farr and Ethan don't understand how to invest, and they can understand that they can keep money in the bank, but you actually persuade me to keep my money in the bank?!

"Oh, boss, I was wrong, I have a hard time, I swear I won't dare again. Pete hurriedly confessed.

"If you have any troubles, it will take us at least half an hour to get to the hotel by car. Jia Lei opened the taxi and sat in and said.

＊＊＊＊

"Boss, you saw it the last time you went to country M, and the situation on Wall Street is very bad! Every day, banks go bankrupt and fail, and many people have been laid off and jumped off buildings. Citibank is in trouble now, too!" said Pete.

"What's the trouble, isn't the trouble of the bank just a lack of money!" Jia Lei said indifferently.

"We're not just short of money, we're short of new investors. We can't use the depositors' money casually, and the Federal Reserve Board of Country M is urging us to increase our reserves in case of bankruptcy to cover the losses of the depositors, and if we can't scrape together the money before the deadline comes, we will be bankrupt!" said Pete worriedly.

"I remember the Federal Reserve, I was just in time for them when I first went to Wall Street, didn't I?" asked Jia Lei.

"Yes! Since the boss wants to invest in stocks, I think it's a good choice for you to invest in our bank now! The stock price of our bank is now at an all-time low. Pete began to sell Citibank stock to Mr. Jay.

"I'm not interested in your bank right now, your bank's stock price is too expensive! I want to wait a few years for more money to buy it." Jia Lei said with a haha.

Citibank's stock is good, but Jia Lei remembers that when the subprime mortgage crisis occurred in 2008, Citibank's stock price fell below one yuan!

If you really want to take a stake in Citibank, that's the best opportunity!

"But the boss...... If Citibank can't find any new investors, it's very likely that the Federal Reserve will be declared bankrupt and liquidated! Pete said anxiously.

"I don't think Citibank will go bankrupt, your bank is a top bank with a history of more than 100 years. Pete: Don't say it, I'm not interested in Citibank stock right now! I'm quite interested in your new Citibank black card, can I get this kind of black card?" Jia Lei asked.

In the last life, countless celebrities and rich second generations are keen to tan their cards on the Internet, and the black card will definitely attract countless netizens to watch and worship!

As soon as the black card comes out, countless girls will run to the black card owner's Weibo to call their husbands!

Jia Lei was not qualified to get this kind of black card in his last life, but he was very eager to have such a black card in his heart in his two lives.

"We at Citibank do have such a black card! But if you want to get this kind of black card, you can't just get money, this kind of black card is not issued but invited! The people who get this kind of black card invitation letter are all celebrities in the upper class or big customers and shareholders of our bank's investment department. Pete said.

"I'm a big customer who has deposited $300 million in your bank now, am I not qualified to get this kind of black card?" asked Jia Lei.

"Although you are now a big customer of our bank's investment department, the black card is not something that can be done with money, and you must have a matching identity to be recognized and joined by other members. Pete said with some embarrassment.

Citibank's chairman's black card is different from the "fake" black card posted by domestic stars.

The former symbolizes the identity and recognition of the Western high society, and only those who are recognized by the majority of members can get an invitation!

The domestic black card is a VIP card jointly issued by Citibank and domestic banks!

Although they are also black, and they are also referred to simply as black cards, they are actually as different from the former as gold-plated and pure gold!

"In this case, I can only become a shareholder of your bank!" Jia Lei said unwillingly.

During this trip to the island country, Jia Lei thoroughly understood the importance of a reliable team.

Without the help of his lawyer, Old Man Farr, he would not have been able to get the ownership of the fund back from TOM so easily!

If it weren't for Ethan's careful observation and analysis, Jia Lei might have been blocked in the island country by the Yamaguchi Group without knowing it!

You must know that 300 million dollars is enough to buy hundreds of lives!

"Boss, do you mean that you want to invest in our bank and buy shares in our bank?" asked Pete in surprise.

"What is the current stock price of your Citibank?" asked Jia Lei with a straight face.

"The current stock price of our bank is very low, less than 12 yuan, you will definitely make a lot of money in the future by investing in our bank now! I don't know how many shares you want to buy, boss?" asked Pete nervously.

"How much does it cost if I want to buy a 4.99 percent stake?" Jia asked.

"It's about $180 million!" Pete said, based on the current stock price.

Jia Lei covered his heart in distress, it's so expensive!

"You go and contact your headquarters and I'll buy it!" Jia Lei said reluctantly.

"Boss, do you really want to buy shares in our bank? Even though this is our bank, I still have to warn you that it may go bankrupt!" the trader Paul dutifully reminded.

"If I don't buy it, I need an identity that can be recognized by the Western upper class! Once I become a shareholder of Citibank, I will automatically become a black card user, and the status of a shareholder of Citibank is very important in any country. Ye bought not stocks, is it identity, do you understand?" Jia Lei said helplessly.

In 1990, China was not yet recognized by Western countries!

The status of the Chinese people in the international community is far lower than that of the island countries and the people of the stick country, even the people of Hong Kong Island Bay are higher than the status of the Chinese people!

If Jia Lei wants to show his talents internationally, he must first be accepted and recognized by the Western high society!

It was hard in 1990!

In 1990, China's economic status was in a backward position in the world!

However, in 1990, China's force value was recognized internationally!

Jia Lei's Huaxia thighs can be used in China and abroad, but it is not easy to use!

So Jia Lei can only spend a huge amount of money to start with Citibank and buy himself a status that can be recognized by Western high society!

Even if the money is not worth it, it has to be spent!
