Text Text_Chapter 441 [I didn't do anything]
Stephen, the CEO of 430 Huaxia Swiss Bank, was an Englishman, an old-fashioned British aristocrat who inherited a hereditary viscount title.
The reason why he became the chief of UBS in China is not only because of his ability and extraordinary background, but also because his ancestors have a trace of Chinese blood, so that Stephen has liked oriental culture since he was a child, and even graduated from university in Hong Kong.
Therefore, Stephen's English is not as fluent as Huaxia, which is a foreigner who makes ordinary people feel quite eccentric.
"It's really a surprisingly wonderful morning, Mr. Lin of Yulei, I shouldn't be mistaken", Stephen, who has silver-gray hair and a slender but energetic face, made a gesture of invitation to Lin Ruoxi very gentlemanly, and did not shake hands when they met like ordinary people.
In fact, the etiquette of shaking hands, when men and women meet, women can take the initiative, while men take the initiative, but it is impolite. That's a kind of frivolous, wanting to take advantage. It's just that most people only understand one of these traditional Western etiquettes, but they don't understand the other.
Coming from an aristocratic family with old qualifications, Stephen was clearly a leader in etiquette.
Lin Ruoxi didn't really have much of the heart to observe the etiquette of this Westerner, and she was still muttering in her heart how to speak.
As Stephen sat down on the crusty old mahogany sofa, Lin Ruoxi put down the bag, with a somewhat professional smile on his face, but it was still so cold in the eyes of others.
"Mr. Stephen, do you know me?" Lin Ruoxi saw this man for the first time, so he asked curiously and casually, which was the beginning.
Stephen smiled shyly, "It's a little ashamed to say it, I participated in Yulei's banquet at the Imperial Mansion last year, and I looked at Mr. Lin from afar for a while at that time, I swear, I just have an appreciative gaze, Mr. Lin, you are a very charming woman, so I just remembered it after just looking at it." β
Stephen said very calmly, but Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but blush slightly, you must know that the Englishman in front of him is in his fifties, and Lin Ruoxi is still quite uncomfortable being "appreciated" by such a person who can be a father.
"Yes, because the banquet is the responsibility of our company's public relations department, so I don't remember the guests at the banquet very well, and I apologize for this", Lin Ruoxi was still very polite, and then said: "I think Mr. Stephen should also know about my coming here today." β
Stephen's smile remained unchanged, and he said very tactfully: "I just read the news of your company before Mr. Lin came up. I know you're in dire need of cash. However, I think Mr. Lin should be very clear that our Swiss banks do not provide loan business. Moreover, with the golden sign of Yulei International, as a Fortune 500 multinational company, why not take out loans from other banks that have cooperative relationships?"
Stephen said a long paragraph, but in fact, there is only one meaning - you are Lin Ruoxi, and you can't make an exception for you.
"I know this very well", Lin Ruoxi said, rubbing his left hand on the ring on his right finger, "I don't want to lie to you, Mr. Stephen, maybe because of my personal reasons, I have too many enemies." This time, the opponent is very strong and has an extremely tough official background. All the big banks we have partnered with have chosen to avoid this battle. β
Stephen pondered for a while, frowned and asked, "But, why does Mr. Lin feel that he is coming to us? Not to mention whether we are afraid of your opponent, we will not be able to provide loans at all, Mr. Lin should be very aware of our Swiss bank's adherence to the rules." β
Lin Ruoxi mustered up his courage and slowly raised his right hand, revealing the ink-colored ring on his middle finger.
"I was told that with this ring, the Swiss bank would make an exception to give me an adequate loan. β
Stephen was stunned for a moment, his eyes showed a bit of thought, and then he looked down and thought for a while before Stephen got up from the sofa, "Can I take a closer look at your ring?"
"Of course you can", Lin Ruoxi took off the ring and handed it to Stephen.
"Mr. Lin, I need to verify some information with the headquarters in Switzerland, please wait a while." Stephen said, taking the ring and walking to the desk.
Lin Ruoxi's heart was slightly tinged with strangeness......
What Stephen is saying is that the information needs to be verified, in other words, if the verified information is valid, then he may actually give himself a loan. This means that Swiss banks do have lending business! However, this may be an internal business of Swiss banks, not public, and there may be many hidden meanings.
Could it be that what Yang Chen said is true? While Lin Ruoxi had a little more hope in his heart, the figure in his heart became more and more foggy.
Stephen returned to his desk, and the expression on his face was already very serious, serious, even a little dignified.
After a series of keystrokes, the computer screen on Stephen's desk was connected to the page of the UBS headquarters, and after entering Stephen's identification information, he entered the internal system page of the Swiss bank.
On the straightforward library page, Stephen clicked on the "Non-Routine Clients" option.
Next, Stephen took out a set of electronic scanning equipment from the safe behind him, connected it to the computer, and performed iris, voice, and fingerprint detection.
A series of complicated retrieval work made Lin Ruoxi, who was watching Stephen busy not far away, stunned.
What kind of information is this, and it needs such a rigorous review to check it!?
At this time, Stephen raised his head and smiled apologetically at Lin Ruoxi: "Mr. Lin, the situation is quite special, please wait for a while."
With that, Stephen had already moved on to the next page, which was a silver-gray background with various ancient Roman characters written on it.
In the entire Swiss bank, there are no more than ten people who can read these letter arrangements, and it just so happens that Stephen is one of them.
Silently muttering something, Stephen dragged some Roman characters on the page with the mouse, rearranged them, and spent more than three minutes forming a long poem......
"Phew, in a few years, I will have to change to a new person, and my brain will soon be unable to remember."
Stephen muttered to himself, and the computer screen changed.
The entire screen went completely black, and after another three seconds, a white line appeared in the middle, and then the page was ripped open from the middle, revealing the real content inside.
It was three and a half pages of pictures and captions, each of which was a small object, a necklace, a ring, a bracelet, and oddly enough, a golden card, an old pipe, and so on.
Stephen started with the picture on the third page, which had ten objects on the whole page, and when he was done, he shook his head and turned to the second page.
The second page was reduced to five items, and Stephen looked carefully at the two pictures of rings, then at the rings on the table, and shook his head again.
Taking a deep breath, Stephen flipped to the first page, which contained two items in total......
Almost as soon as he turned to the first page, Stephen's pupils constricted.
Even if he felt it just now, he didn't dare to believe it, until this moment, when he saw the picture on the computer screen that was exactly the same as the ring in front of him, he suddenly woke up!
This...... Is that really that thing!?
Lin Ruoxi, who was a little nervous on the sofa, couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive when she saw Stephen's frightened and excited look, she couldn't imagine what kind of thing could make this half-hundred-year-old gentleman so shocked.
For about five minutes, Stephen was constantly checking that the picture was exactly the same as the ring in front of him, and reading the text description more than ten times.
Eventually, after confirming that the five letters "PLUTO" on the inner wall of the ring were indeed identical, Stephen drew a cross on his chest and prayed earnestly before exiting the system on the computer.
"Mr. Stephen, have you found out the results", Lin Ruoxi rarely took the initiative to ask others about the results, because she had always been very calm, but at this time, she couldn't help it.
Stephen held the ring with both hands very solemnly, walked slowly to Lin Ruoxi, and handed the ring to Lin Ruoxi with both hands, "Excuse me, the person who gave Ms. Lin the ring is Ms. Lin's ......."
Stephen has ignored Lin Ruoxi's identity as president.
Lin Ruoxi bit her thin lip, although she was still a little shy, she still looked into Stephen's gaze and replied clearly: "He is my husband." β
Stephen's body trembled obviously, and immediately after, Stephen took three steps back, and immediately knelt on one knee!
"Mistress Porsephone, it's an honor to serve you," Stephen said with a look of awe in his eyes.
Lin Ruoxi had a headache, what was that?
Before she could think about it, Stephen had already stood up, and his smile was actually a little flattering, which was completely different from the gentleman's expression just now.
"Sir, if you dare to ask you how much cash you need, I'll pick it up for you at once," said Stephen, half-bent over.
"Wait", Lin Ruoxi felt inexplicable, how did he become an "adult", "Mr. Stephen, who is Persephone, why do you call me...... Call me then?"
Stephen was stunned, but then seemed to think of something, and laughed in harmony: "My lord, since the noble existence has not explained, the villain has no position to explain on his behalf. Please give the order directly, you are now the holder of the 'Ring of Hades', and you can get 100 billion euros in cash from a Swiss bank at any time, how much do you need to withdraw?"
After listening to Stephen's words, Lin Ruoxi couldn't think about what was going on, her beautiful eyes widened, and there was only one thought in her mindβwhat!?100 billion...... Euro!?
