When Harry Sr. saw these bonds, he said to himself: "How many years? Let me think about it, the last time I saw it was in the spring of 1951, Citibank's headquarters in Paris, France, and it has been... ”

"It's been 59 years, old man. Zheng Xudong said.

"Thank you, young man, for not expecting these bonds, which are older than your father, to appear in your hands. You're trying to exchange them!" said Old Harry.

Zheng Xudong smiled and nodded, "Yes! I'm going to exchange it for dollars." ”

Old Harry stood up and said to Ou Zhaolun: "I preliminarily believe that these bonds are real, but in the end, I have to check the number of these bonds with the headquarters in New York, USA, if there is no problem with the number, you can calculate its current value." I'm going to take these out and call to check the numbers. ”

"These bonds can't leave our sight!" Sean said, standing up.

Ou Zhaolun fully understood Sean's approach, "You can follow this old gentleman to his office. ”

Sean saw Zheng Xudong nodding, so he turned around and followed Old Harry.

After seeing Sean and Old Harry go out, Ou Zhaolun suddenly sat next to Zheng Xudong, and said with a flattering smile: "Mr. Zheng, I want to ask, if you exchange this sky-high price of US bonds, where do you plan to save it?"

Zheng Xudong heard his words and understood that this was a deposit, if Zheng Xudong exchanged the bond at Citibank, but let the money be deposited in another bank, Citibank headquarters would definitely investigate this responsibility, if a reasonable reason is not given, when the end of the year is reported, Ou Zhaolun will definitely be able to escape the blame, and it may even make him resign.

Originally, Zheng Xudong wanted to deposit the money in Citibank, but now he changed his mind, looked at President Ou Zhaolun's face and said with some embarrassment: "President Ou Zhaolun, you know, I am a VIP user of UBS, just now you also saw my black card, we Chinese have an old saying, called trading is cooked but not raw, I think you should understand what I mean." ”

Ou Zhaolun immediately smiled bitterly when he heard Zheng Xudong's words, "Mr. Zheng, your China has thousands of years of cultural heritage, and some old sayings are not particularly clear to me. In fact, he is not a China expert, he also understood Zheng Xudong's words just now, but he can only pretend to be stupid and say now, "Mr. Zheng, as the president of Citibank China, I have the obligation to solicit business and deposits for Citibank, I hope you see that my daughter and I are your fans, and Citibank's purpose of serving customers sincerely, I sincerely ask you to open an account in our bank and deposit this deposit in our Citibank." ”

Zheng Xudong took out a cigar from his pocket at this time, cut off the cigar cap, Ou Zhaolun hurriedly ran to his desk to get the snow lotus special lighter, "ding!" The fire was lit and he lit the cigar with his own hands, and then Zheng Xudong said with some embarrassment: "I am a customer of UBS, UBS takes care of me in all aspects, but I have the money to open an account here, which makes it difficult for me to do it on UBS! UBS gave me a high deposit interest rate and credit (overdraft) limit." ”

Ou Zhaolun looked at Zheng Xudong with a deep face on his face, and thought, "What a little fox, can UBS manage your deposit here?" But knowing this, he still had to say: "Mr. Zheng, don't worry, the interest rate and credit limit that UBS can give you, we can give you Citi." And we at Citi also have our own advantage, that is, we have a world-renowned American card. You deposit this money to us, I will immediately apply for the highest level of Amex Centurion Black Gold Card, you know, our Amex Centurion Black Gold Card is not accepted by customers to apply, only we send an invitation, the world usually audits no more than 100 customers every year, as long as you have this card, you can enjoy our Amex 24 hours a day in the world thoughtful and meticulous service! As you may have heard, we offer the highest quality service to Centurion's Black Gold customers, including booking tickets to various tournaments, purchasing a variety of limited edition products, and even allowing you to reroute your flight and stop your train if you're willing to spend the money!"

Zheng Xudong really didn't know that the Centurion Black Gold Card of Amex could do so many things, when he was handling the UBS Black Gold Card, the UBS account manager briefly mentioned it, saying that their Black Gold Card is not worse than the Amex Centurion Black Gold Card, and it also reflects from the side that the Amex Centurion Black Gold Card is indeed very good, but this bamboo bar still has to be knocked, "President Ou Zhaolun, but I heard that your Centurion Black Gold Card has an annual fee, and it seems to be a lot." ”

Seeing Zheng Xudong's eyes, Ou Zhaolun scolded "little fox" in his heart again, and then said with a smile: "Yes, we have an annual fee of one million dollars a year, but as long as you spend ten million dollars a year with our card, we can give you a waiver of the annual fee." Well, I'll give you a one-year waiver of the annual fee. Then you are given a seven-percent interest rate on your deposit and a credit limit of $50 million. Are you satisfied with that? Mr. Zheng. ”

Ou Zhaolun was very apprehensive, and finally waited for Zheng Xudong to nod and agree, "Okay, since President Ou Zhaolun is so enthusiastic, I will open this account in your bank." ”

The happy Ou Zhaolun came to the executive desk and pressed the secretary's button, "Inform the account manager to come to my office with a set of account opening procedures for the Amex Centurion Black Gold Card, immediately!"

Sure enough, in less than two minutes, a beautiful woman in her thirties walked in after knocking on the door with a set of forms, "President, I brought the forms." ”

Ou Zhaolun walked in front of the beautiful account manager in a few steps, "Manager Kent, let me introduce to you, this is our high-end customer Mr. Zheng Xudong, now please go through the procedures for him to open the Amex Centurion Black Gold Card." ”

Zheng Xudong, under the gaze and guidance of the beautiful account manager Kent, took out his identity document and filled out six various forms in a row, and signed his name.

When Zheng Xudong finished filling out the form, Sean and Old Harry also walked in from outside, and Sean was still carrying the briefcase in his hand.

Old Harry held a thick pile of bound printer paper in his hand and handed it to President Ou Zhaolun.

Ou Zhaolun turned to the last page and looked at the values, and said, "OH MY GOD!" He thought he was dazzled, looked at it again to make sure he was not mistaken, and then handed it to Zheng Xudong.

Zheng Xudong also turned to the last page after taking it, where the big dollar sign $ was followed by 634,572,155.38. The large number is 634,570,000,000. "That's a lot!" Zheng Xudong took it in his hand and didn't say anything for a long time.

At this time, I heard old Harry say: "Young man, it should have been nearly 700 million, but recently, the economy of these dozen or so United States has improved, and the annual interest rate is between 1.5 percent and 1.8 percent, and the account handling fee alone is quite a lot every year." ”

Zheng Xudong flipped forward, and sure enough, after Clinton took office, the interest rate began to become negative. If you have turned 700 million yuan into 600 million yuan, you will not be able to say that the banks in the United States are too black! They are even faster than the gangsters can steal money! There is no way, this is the rule of other people, and besides, they will give you interest calculated at compound interest every year for nearly 40 years.

"Alright, that's it, President O'Bolt Lun, transfer the money to the newly opened account, Sean, you go and hand over these bonds to them. Zheng Xudong said.

Ou Zhaolun glanced at Kent, and saw that she was still obsessed with Zheng Xudong and hurriedly coughed, "Manager Kent, you go and cooperate." ”

"Wait a minute!" Zheng Xudong's words made Ou Zhaolun's heart "chuckle", thinking that there was something changing, he looked at Zheng Xudong and listened to him and said: "When I came, there were 70 million yuan and 3.5 million US dollars in the car and they were also stored here, President Ou Zhaolun, please go to the underground garage to find my driver and take out the money." I'll call him. ”

"Okay, I'll send the most capable business people to count the funds. With that, he glanced at Manager Kent, who nodded and walked a few steps away.

Zheng Xudong had also finished making a phone call and was sitting on the sofa at this time, President Ou Zhaolun personally came over to pour the wine for Zheng Xudong, and then poured himself a glass, raised his glass and said: "Now we are a real family, a toast for us!"

Zheng Xudong could see that Ou Zhaolun was really happy, and he raised his neck and dried up a third of the glass of red wine. Zheng Xudong also drank the red wine in the cup. Then he took out a cigar from his pocket and handed it to Ou Zhaolun, and after he lit it himself, the two smoked together.

"I believe that President Ou Zhaolun will be commended by the board of directors of your headquarters when he returns to the headquarters this year to report on his work. Maybe I'll reward you with some Citi shares, and maybe let you join the board in the next few years!"

Although he knew that this was a sycophant, who didn't want to listen to it! Ou Zhaolun heard his words, "Ha... He laughed, "I hope I can borrow your good words to really do so." ”

"By the way, President Ou Zhaolun, I'm already our Amex Black Gold Card user, right?" President Ou Zhaolun nodded, and Zheng Xudong continued: "Then can I make a request?"

"Please!"

"I have a few antiques that I would like to find an auction house to appraise, if it is worth auctioning, I will entrust this auction house to auction, can you find me a world-renowned auction house? I know that the auction house has to pay for the appraisal of things, don't worry, I will pay the relevant fees." ”

Ou Zhaolun thought to himself, "What antiques can you have as a ** cub!", but he still said with a smile on his face: "What kind of antiques are you, if it is an ordinary antique, we can find some small auction houses, and their fees are relatively low." ”

Zheng Xudong shook his head, "It's a national treasure, it must be a well-known auction house in the world, there is an American one, a few French ones, a Chinese one, and one I don't know which country?"

Hearing that it was a national treasure-level antique, Ou Zhaolun also began to pay attention to it, and there were several pieces, the most incredible thing was that there was an American one, he was an American who didn't know what a national treasure the United States had, and I believe that the vast majority of Americans didn't know. No way, the history of the United States is too short!

"Okay, we'll get you in touch in a moment, and tomorrow at one o'clock in the afternoon, you can come to my office again, and then take your Amex Centurion Black Gold Card directly." Do you think it's okay?"

Zheng Xudong thought that there should be no problem, so he nodded, and then Sean walked in from outside, and then nodded at him, "The handover has been completed." You'll be notified of your payout right away. ”

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Xudong's phone rang, and a text message came in, which showed that his Citibank account had been opened, and the deposit amount in the US dollar account was 638 million yuan, and the RMB account was 70 million yuan.
