In any case, Pang Jindong had prepared for the worst, that is, Senator Revy was still alive, but he did not show up for the time being to avoid the assassins. It is for this reason that there is a trend in news coverage that will allow Senator Rivey to jump out and fully participate in the presidential race at the right time.

"It is worthy of the support of the Rothschild family, and he is able to manipulate public opinion!" Thinking of this, Pang Jindong sighed in his heart: "Press freedom?

The statue arrived quickly, and Pang Jindong couldn't wait to open the package and take it out to study it carefully.

Pang Jindong hadn't paid much attention to this sculpture since he took it home, but now when he re-examined it, he found that it was basically no different from the appearance in his memory, just an ordinary Venus statue. Pang Jindong did not find anything unusual on it, nor did he find any suspicious markings.

At this time, Bernard's sentence suddenly emerged in Pang Jindong's heart: "Beautiful things are always broken......"

Although every time he sees this statue, he thinks of Bernard, but in order to find out the truth of the matter, Pang Jindong had to reluctantly cut his love, lifted the statue and fell to the ground hard. With a "pop", the statue scattered into countless fragments of different sizes.

Pang Jindong quickly found three things in the fragments, one of which was a note with Bernard's handwriting on it. He wrote: "When you understand my words, you will see this note, and I should be dead by this time." You don't have to pay any attention to my death and the affairs of the center, just understand that the dissolution of the center is a good thing for you, and please forgive me for not suing you too much, because it will have a serious impact on you. I want you to live well, and I've left you a little money to help you with that. Originally, it was the operating expenses of the center, but due to the dissolution of the center and the death of the people involved, no one knew about the deposit of this money, and I was free to use it as the treasurer. I have dedicated my life to this country, and I have turned out to be crippled myself, with no family and friends, not even a trustworthy person, so I can only give it to you, whom I regard as a son, and I wish you all the best. Read it, please burn Bernard Liu"

Seeing these words, thinking of Bernard's kind and kind face, and every time he saw himself, Pang Jindong's eyes blurred.

Bernard once gave Pang Jindong many gifts, and the kind of meticulous care he brought was one of the few warm memories of Pang Jindong in his past life. He knew what happened to Pang Jindong and his family, and the hardships caused by money, so he gave money to Pang Jindong as the last gift.

"Thank you, Bernard!" Pang Jindong whispered, and then followed Bernard's will and burned the note.

The other thing was a cylindrical metal object, no more than two centimeters long and only a few millimeters in diameter. Pang Jindong didn't understand the use of it, but later found that there was a small button on it, so he pressed it.

Suddenly, a red light shot out from the top of the object, piercing Pang Jindong's eyes. Pang Jindong suddenly felt dizzy and hurriedly looked elsewhere. However, as the light swept across the walls, several rows of numbers appeared on the walls.

Pang Jindong hurriedly aimed at the wall and illuminated it, and found that there was such a content on it, "Swiss Zurich bank account number******** password**************** reserved verification information Bernard & Jerry" and then only heard a "poof", this little thing actually burned by itself, Pang Jindong hurriedly threw it to the ground, and at the same time congratulated his extraordinary memory that he had memorized the content on it.

The third thing is a key with a card on top of it.

"It looks like I'm going to Switzerland!" Pang Jindong sighed and said to himself.

Pang Jindong collected the pieces together, then found an antique shop and asked to restore the sculpture at any cost.

Next, Pang Jindong quickly applied for a passport and embarked on a flight to Zurich.

When entering the airport, the police stared at Pang Jindong carefully, and Pang Jindong nodded slightly to the other party.

Switzerland is one of the richest countries in the world, and there are two things that no other country can match: clocks and watches, and banks on the other.

In both novels and films, there is a real reason for the preference to keep money in Swiss banks. UBS is consistently regarded as the most trusted bank in the world. Importantly, Switzerland is a permanently neutral country and is less affected by war or regime change. A good example of this is the transfer of property by Jews to Swiss banks after the Nazis came to power in country D in the twentieth century.

Many people think that it is possible to open an anonymous account in a Swiss bank, but it is not that simple. On the one hand, UBS requires staff to follow the principle of "know your customer", which must confirm the identity of each customer and their financial legitimacy. In order to prosecute criminal money transactions, banks have their own strict and internationally recognized identification rules. On the other hand, this is only a superficial effort, and special customers can actually bypass this threshold.

The Bank Secrecy Act, enacted in the thirties of the twentieth century, provided legal support and created opportunities for this. The law prohibits bank officials from interfering with the privacy of customers, and cannot disclose the amount of deposits and private secrets of customers to anyone, and only a few senior bank officials know about customers. When large transactions are made, only two or three senior staff members can be present, other staff members are forbidden to intervene, and severe penalties are imposed on those who leak the secrets of deposits.

The Act also stipulates that no foreigner or foreign Government, even the Head of State or Government of Switzerland, nor the courts, etc., shall have the right to interfere with, investigate and deal with the deposits of any individual in Swiss banks unless there is evidence of criminal acts committed by the depositor, which is difficult to do.

In fact, it is the high level of privacy and security that this law brings that completes the Swiss banking industry. Corrupt bribes from dignitaries, hard-earned money looted by dictators from the people, and profits from the sale of bloody diamonds by African warlords poured in. As long as the money is in a Swiss bank, they don't have to care about the government or the international tribunal investigating it, and no one has a chance to touch their money.

Many international disputes have also arisen as a result. In the seventies of the twentieth century, Ethiopia demanded more than $10 billion from Switzerland in the Swiss bank of its deposed King Haile Selassie I. Three years later, the country's representative to the United Nations admitted that it would be very difficult to recover any money because of the strict Bank Secrecy Act; the Governments of Nicaragua and Haiti had demanded the return of millions of dollars in Swiss banks by former Nicaraguan President Somoza and former Haitian President Duvalier, but to no avail; President Marcos of the Philippines had stepped down and left, and the government of Corazon Aquino had offered to recover Marcos's billions to tens of billions of dollars of assets and deposits abroad. Since most of Marcos' money was deposited in the Swiss Bank, the matter was also pending.

In order to combat the growing transnational financial crime, the European Union has asked Switzerland to repeal the Bank Secrecy Act, but the Swiss side has refused.

The so-called "Swiss Bank" is not a specific bank, but a collective term for the entire Swiss banking system. The banking sector is the largest pillar industry in Switzerland, contributing twice as much to the national economy as countries D, F and M, which are also financial powerhouses. Swiss banks manage between a quarter and a third of the world's private wealth for international investments. In addition, Switzerland is the world's largest offshore financial center, holding 30% of the world's offshore currency, totaling nearly 2 trillion euros.

The name "Zurich Bank" is only due to the fact that its headquarters are located in Zurich, and although this name is bluffing, in fact, it can only be considered a medium-sized among the major Swiss banks in terms of size. The "big banks" that really underpin the Swiss banking industry have undergone successive mergers and acquisitions, and now there are only two left, namely UBS Group and Credit Suisse Group.

Pang Jindong believes that with Bernard's cautious and cautious style, the choice of Zurich Bank must have been well considered. Indeed, Zurich Bank is best known for its private banking services.

This service is designed to provide investment and management of personal property, or other special services for the wealthy class. It is also possible to set up offshore companies and family trust funds to save customers tax and financial transaction costs, and through guò private banking, you can also get access to many stocks, bonds, etc. that ordinary people cannot buy, own investment in private limited companies, and get the opportunity to buy IPOs first-hand. However, in order to enjoy this service, the starting point is to have at least $1 million in liquid assets.

For banks, the average annual profit margin of this business can reach 35 percent, which is much higher than that of other businesses.

What makes Bank Zurich a leader among private banks is that it can be surprisingly complex or surprisingly simple.

The so-called complexity refers to the setting up of multiple security measures, which require several identity verification procedures before the assets can be used, and the bank also looks for a more secure and high value-added channel for the assets;

The so-called simplicity is to set up a very simple way to withdraw or transfer assets, and the bank only recognizes money and not people. Most of the assets are deposited in the form of cash, rather than securities or others, so that customers can withdraw them at any time. However, in this case, if the loss is caused by the customer's personal reasons, the bank has an exemption clause. Generally speaking, those who choose this method are like Bernard, and the money is coming from a somewhat wrong way.

After Pang Jindong got off the plane, he went straight to the headquarters of the Bank of Zurich, a 24-hour business place.

The headquarters is decorated like a five-star hotel, and there is hardly a trace of a bank after entering, there is no queue of people, busy tellers and ATMs, and there is only a front desk like a hotel. But heavily armed security guards and ubiquitous cameras are a constant reminder that this is not a real hotel.

After Pang Jindong came to the front desk, a beautiful blonde lady immediately bowed and greeted: "Oh, why is your mother dead!"

"I'm sorry, I'm Chinese!" Pang Jindong corrected.

The service staff here are obviously trained to greet different customers. When she learned that Pang Jindong was Chinese, Miss Blonde was a little cold, and she couldn't speak Chinese, but reminded Pang Jindong in fluent English: "This is the Bank of Zurich!"

Pang Jindong said coldly: "Of course I know what kind of place this is, because my deposit here can go to Eastern Europe to buy hundreds of beauties like you!"

The blonde lady felt embarrassed, took out a piece of paper, and told Pang Jindong: "Write down your account!"

After Pang Jindong wrote down the account number from memory, he glared at the blonde lady, and then handed her the note.

"Wait a minute!" the blonde lady turned and went into the back room, and after a moment, brought out a man in a suit and leather shoes.

"Hello, sir, please come with me!" The man was personable, more like a rich man who had come to deposit money than an employee here. His attitude was much better than that of Miss Blonde, and he led Pang Jindong to a room on the second floor.

There was only one computer in this room, a large desk and a few chairs, and another person stood behind the table.

After Pang Jindong sat down on the chair opposite the table, the person who brought Pang Jindong turned around and closed the door, and the person behind the table also sat down, handed over an inputr to Pang Jindong's hand, and said, "Please enter the password!"

According to memory, after Pang Jindong entered the password, he only heard the sound of "drop", indicating that the password verification was clear.

The employee behind the desk turned around and looked at the computer screen, and then said to Pang Jindong: "Please say the reservation verification information!"

"Bernard Jerry. ”

The employee looked at the screen again and asked, "Do you want to make inquiries, transfers, withdrawals, or anything else?"

"Sue me first, check the account balance!"

"Two hundred million dollars!"

Hearing this number, Pang Jindong was stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

According to Pang Jindong's original idea, Bernard would only leave a few million dollars for himself at most, but he didn't expect him to be so generous, let alone that he had so much money in his hands.

Seeing that Pang Jindong didn't say a word, the employee reminded softly: "Mr. ......"

Pang Jindong came back to his senses and asked, "When was this money deposited?"

The employee replied: "A year and two months ago." ”

Pang Jindong recalled that this time was shortly before the dissolution of the center.
