Chapter 41: Gold Transfers (Part II)
Standing at the gate of the manor, looking at the car that was surrounded by bodyguards and moving quickly, Li Shang turned his head to James and asked, "James, do you know the bank contact information that Mr. Bill said?"
James replied respectfully, "Yes sir, do you want to contact you now?"
Li Shang nodded, "Which bank is it?"
"Citibank!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Li Shang's eyes, and he asked with some surprise, "Citibank?!, isn't that in New York?"
The corners of James' mouth hooked, and he was a little speechless: "Sir, even if it's not the headquarters, it's okay to have a branch now! After all, Citibank has many branches! Their reputation is still very reliable."
Citibank (N.A., the Chinese name "Citibank" comes from the customary name of the bank by SH citizens) is a retail bank owned by Citigroup, whose main predecessor is the "City Bank of New York" established on June 16, 1812. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After nearly two centuries of development, mergers and acquisitions, it has become one of the largest banks in the United States, and a major international bank with branches in nearly 150 countries and regions around the world, headquartered at 399 Park Avenue in New York City. On September 19, 2012, Citibank (China) Co., Ltd. announced the official operation of its credit card business in China.
James is right, after all, such a two-hundred-year-old bank really has no credibility, and the money from the sale of diamonds by Li Shang is also stored in Citibank.
Li Shang waved his hand, "You fight, inform them that they must do it within today, otherwise it will be even more troublesome after the news spreads!"
As Bill Gates' housekeeper, James naturally has a Citibank phone.
Soon the phone was connected, and some surprised voices came from the phone, "Mr. James, I wonder what investment Mr. Bill is going to have?"
The person who answered the phone was Alston, the general manager of Citibank in Seattle, who manages things in Seattle, and although the call came at lunchtime, he still said respectfully, after all, Bill Gates is a big customer.
"I think it's important to tell you again," James' serious voice came directly into Alston's ears.
Auston didn't care about the food on the table, and his expression was serious, "Sir, please speak!"
"Mr. Li Shang's ghost village has found a lot of gold, I wonder if you can get all the gold out of it today and transport it to your bank?"
Hearing James say this, Auston relieved his heart, reached out and picked up the burger on the table, ready to eat.
Originally, I thought it was a major matter, but it turned out that it was just gold dug up in the manor, and how big this could be can be done in minutes.
Alston said confidently, "Sir, it will definitely be done in one day."
James smiled, it seemed that the news had not yet come through, so he was relieved, and said with a smile, "Auston, you better check the news over there in Huaxia, you will know, okay, I still have something here, hang up first!"
Hanging up the phone, Auston was a little confused, eating a hamburger, picking up the computer to find the news, as there were more and more messages on the computer, Auston opened his mouth full of burgers, and couldn't close it for a long time.
"Oh my God!"
Auston exclaimed, and the burger in his hand fell directly to the ground, holding the computer with both hands, his face full of disbelief.
James, who was talking to Li Shang, rang the phone again, James looked at the caller ID, laughed, pressed the connect button and smiled, "Auston, is there anything else?"
Auston's gasping voice rang out on the phone, "Mr. James, I don't know how much gold is in Mr. Li Shang's manor?!"
James was extremely calm, "Estimated that it is about 3,000 tons, and the specific weight is not known"
"Three thousand tons!" Hearing James' number, Auston was about to go crazy and shouted out loudly!
It's crazy, Auston is going crazy, fifteen hundred tons, it is estimated that the headquarters do not add up to so much, that is, he doesn't know if there are so many gold reserves in the United States.
"Sir, I'll arrange the convoy right away, and I'll be there in a while!" Auston hung up directly after speaking, and went crazy.
After going crazy, Auston dialed the landline on the desktop and said solemnly, "Alva, you immediately arrange the bodyguards of the whole company, mobilize all the escort vehicles, and gather them all in the company's underground parking lot, the speed must be fast!"
"Yes sir, I'll arrange it right away!" Alva replied respectfully, as Alston called it.
Alva took the hung up phone, looked at his colleague who was still eating, and shouted loudly, "Assemble, urgently assemble, put down the things in your hand, speed!"
"Something's wrong!"
"I don't know, let's gather urgently, hurry up!"
"Hurry up, urgently bring all the escort cars, and gather in the basement quickly!"
In any case, all the personnel of the escort car in the entire building, whether they were eating or doing, all gathered urgently.
In addition to this, Alston also made emergency contact with headquarters and Seattle police, who sent several helicopters along the route to protect the convoy.
Dozens of escort trucks lined up in a long line, and five or six helicopters were constantly circling on them, ignoring the strange eyes of the people on the street, and drove in the direction of Li Shang Manor.
Avar faced these colleagues sitting in the escort car, with a fierce glint in his eyes, "Gentlemen, the things to be escorted this time are valuables, if you meet the blocker, you will be killed directly!"
Hearing Alva's seriousness, the escorts stopped making noise and laughter, and they all became solemn.
After more than an hour of driving.
Because the Citibank branch was not far from the Li Shang Manor, these escort vehicles soon came to the outside of the manor.
In the manor, the connoisseur who was invited by Li Shang to appreciate this morning was held in a tent by many bodyguards, all the communication things were taken away, and he was surrounded by bodyguards.
Zhao Qingshan's face was angry in the tent, walking back and forth, and he kept cursing Li Shang in his mouth.
"Alright, Lao Zhao, sit down and rest and rest!" Professor Li said to the angry Zhao Qingshan as he sat on his chair.
Zhao Qingshan pointed outside, and his voice was very loud: "What kind of rest, look at it, what is this! House arrest! This kid actually dares to put us under house arrest!"
Professor Li also sighed, waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, it's not that we blame ourselves, can we blame him!"
"Hmm, is this an earthquake?"
Zhao Qingshan, who was standing back and forth, felt the tremor on the ground, and said with a puzzled gaze.
Professor Li looked at a car parked outside through the open tent door and said, "No, look outside, why are there so many escort cars?"
