Chapter 134: Switzerland

(252 votes...... I'm about to kill myself, can I exchange some forgiveness with discipline?? )

……

Starting from Milan, through the snow-capped Alps, the terrain is slowly lowering, the speed of the high-speed train is not too fast, the so-called speed of 300 per hour, most of them are blowing, according to the speed of the display table synchronization, the highest time is only 200, and in the non-straight line area it is reduced to 15.

If you are not a traveler who is looking for speed, the pleasing scenery along the way will keep them entertained. From the end of the Alps, the majestic snow-capped mountains are transformed into picturesque grasslands, clear lakes, yellow and green farmland, and beautiful huts built on the mountainside.

The train passed down the hillside, and the slopes on both sides were lush meadows and blooming unknown flowers, a view that To be honest, An Feng had only seen in his computer desktop. It's no wonder that everyone calls Switzerland a garden country, and with the magnificent scenery along the way, it is completely worthy of this reputation.

Joanna looked out the window and said, "It's beautiful! The sky is blue, the water is blue, and I really want to stay in a small cabin halfway up the mountain for a few days and wake up to see the green grassland. ”

An Feng nodded: "A few days is enough, occasionally it will be reminiscent, and it will be annoying after a long time." ”

"Next time we're staying here, shall we?" Joanna looked back at him, the moving desire in her eyes made him unable to refuse, An Feng smiled and said: "As long as you have time, we will come here to live for a while, this picture-like beauty is indeed worth staying in the memory of life." ”

"You can also ski!" She said.

Enjoy the scenery and come to Zurich, the largest city in Switzerland. Known as the richest city in Europe, the financial center, the commercial center, there are more than 100 banks in the world, and the daily mobilization of funds reaches an incalculable astronomical amount, so it also has the European Wall Street.

Many people call it "heaven". Because Switzerland, as a permanent neutral country, has not had a war for more than 200 years, and as the richest country per capita, it is unmatched in terms of welfare, and once proposed to receive 2,000 euros a month without working, but the bill was not passed. But it also shows how rich Switzerland is.

When you get off at the station, you will already be waiting for someone from the hotel, and the Swiss, like the strict Germans, would rather be early than late. Perhaps it is this rule-based, even rigid, attitude that makes the world's wealthy trust Swiss bankers.

Of course, the "Great Germans", like their Nazi predecessors, loved to pit Jews.

Yuntong's travel service helped An Feng book the services of a local five-star hotel, and the hotel sent a full-time driver and a Rolls-Royce to pick up. Dressed in a black suit. The white-gloved driver invited them to sit in the solemn black luxury car and started the car to leave.

Tucked away in a private park, this hotel is ideally located with views of the Alps and Lake Zurich and just a block away from the richest boulevard, Bahnhofstrasse. The street is home to some of the world's best fashion designers, shoes, furs, jewelry, porcelain and jewelry, and just about every luxury you can imagine.

Stay in the best hotel, stay in the best room, and enjoy the best service. Enjoying the most beautiful scenery is the standard of Anfeng's trip. Although some outbreaks were inevitable in behavior, a noblest lady accompanied the staff officer. This feeling is diluted by a slight change in detail.

After a short break, I was dragged by Joanna to go shopping. Bahnhofstrasse is just across the street, and women are inevitably tempted by the fact that they can see the costume jewelry in the shop windows. And they come with very little luggage and generally use the local shop as a wardrobe. The key to open the wardrobe. Naturally, it's money.

Due to environmental concerns, Bahnhofstrasse is not accessible to motorized vehicles, and the only ones available are trams, trams or the current new BEVs, and BMW's i series is also seen in a few units. Thus. Pure electric is mainstream, and GP's super battery will drive it all.

Joanna said as she walked, "Let's start with formal clothes. Walking this way, I remember the most men's clothing here. ”

She is familiar with the local area and is by no means the first time she has been here. An Feng was dragged by her to sweep every shop on the street. It is said that some people would rather fly halfway around the world to spend an afternoon here. The reason An Feng understands, there are too many luxury goods, and they can't be counted, and they are dazzling.

In addition to buying formal clothes and jewelry, An Feng did not forget to take Joanna to find one of the most famous in Switzerland - clocks. Telephone Express service center, help to make an appointment with Patek Philippe's private service, walk in there is a special reception, and it is worth the trip to customize two personalized watches, both are ladies' models, the total price is 800,000 US dollars, belongs to a very top class of customization, those millions of clocks, generally only appear at auctions, the price of personal customization is not necessarily high, but it must be in line with the mind.

However, the rigidity of the Swiss also came, and in the case of An Feng's tactful indication that the price could be appropriately raised, they firmly believed that the production time needed to wait at least a year or so. An Feng couldn't do anything about them, if it weren't for his gentlemanly demeanor, he would have smashed ten times the price, and he would dare to shake his head if he didn't believe it.

But he didn't do that in the end, he came out first to find fun, and there was no need to make trouble with others; Second, if it is increased tenfold, it will inevitably appear that he is a little wronged. Although he has a lot of money, he has not developed to the point of giving it casually, and reason still dominates. After leaving, Joanna said with appreciation: "You are really a model of grace and calmness just now, which will change their impression of Chinese in their hearts." ”

An Feng smiled bitterly: "Is the image of the Chinese in foreign countries so bad?" ”

……

The next morning, the hotel's Rolls-Royce dropped him off at Credit Suisse's headquarters.

The Swiss bank mentioned in the movie is actually a vague concept, which can refer to both the largest UBS in Switzerland and some other small banks in Switzerland. Of course, Swiss bankers are bound by the duty of strict confidentiality for their clients, but as a large group or a wealthy person, you have to choose the top one.

UBS, that is, UBS Group, is the largest financial holding group in Europe, and Credit Suisse, which An Fengxuan, can only be ranked second behind UBS. No way, the choice is not in his hands, when GP International opened an account, the offshore account used was Credit Suisse.

On the way by car, An Feng said: "There is a story to tell. A wealthy man walked into UBS with $5 million and mysteriously asked to open a private account, but the bank staff laughed and told him, 'I'm sorry, sir, it's not your fault that you're poor.' So he was rejected. ”

Joanna laughed: "Don't want five million? ”

An Feng shook his head: "Of course, this is just an exaggerated joke, first of all, it is impossible for a rich man to walk into the bank with five million dollars - too heavy; Then Switzerland is not a predominantly dollar-based country. So so much foreign exchange is very difficult to cross. Actually, what I want to express is that UBS is a tsundere. ”

Joanna asked him, "So you don't choose to open an account with UBS?" ”

An Feng nodded: "Part of the reason, I always feel that it doesn't seem like a big name to come to the door in person, and after Credit Suisse heard about my intentions, it took the initiative to invite me to the door, so between being a grandson and an uncle, I resolutely chose the uncle, even if Credit Suisse is only the second, but there is no second thousand-year-old." ”

Talking and laughing. Came to Credit Suisse headquarters.

Since I had made an appointment in advance, as soon as I got off the bus and walked in, someone came up to the code...... Well, to the name. After passing the verification, he was led to the upstairs office, which is still a separate large office, divided into two areas, the outside is used by the assistant, and the inside is used by the office owner. There is only one foreigner. Again, to be honest, it's as if foreigners think that all yellow people look the same. And An Feng also thinks that foreign white people look the same, the other party is nothing more than a little whiter, a higher nose, and a little blue eyes.

The tall man in the foreign suit greeted him with a smile and said in German-accented English, "Hello, Mr. Ann." Nice to meet you, my name is Friedman. ”

"Hello, Friedman, this is my wife Joanna." An Feng briefly introduced.

"Hello, Mrs. Ann!"

Said hello. Both sides sat down. As his German name suggests, Friedmann speaks Swiss German, plus French, and a little English, so he can barely communicate. Later, Joanna, who can speak French, translates for them on some difficult points, and the whole process does not involve a third party.

Looking at the introduction, the other party seems to be called Friedman. Feng. Hlandek. Traditionally, he was a nobleman, otherwise he wouldn't have used the middle name von, but ...... The German Empire is long gone, just like the homeless aristocracy after the French Revolution, plus de or von is self-comforting, the noble lady is in front of him, and Joanna's is the real Lady.

But Friedman's position in Credit Suisse is still there, otherwise he would not have a separate luxury office in the headquarters, An Feng chatted with him about some business, GP has more than 700 million US dollars in the international account, and it is also a big customer, Credit Suisse is going to fight for this kind of big customer now, in order to fight UBS, knowing that An Feng wants to hire a private bank assistant, Swiss bankers with a keen sense of smell naturally smell the smell of meat wafting across the Atlantic.

To put it simply, the money is coming.

Since Friedman is the manager of the GP International offshore account, there is no need for An Feng to hide his thoughts, his salary for the next four years, and the basic information of immigrants and non-American citizens who have a US green card, and Friedman held his chin and thought.

After a while, he said: "Mr. An, according to your situation, you don't have to worry too much about nationality, you can apply for a check at any time and spend it worldwide in the name of the company - including the United States, because it is an offshore company, it is not an American business, strictly speaking, this kind of behavior is operated overseas." ”

"However, I don't recommend that you open a private account, the Americans are too strict now, and you already have an offshore company that is completely your own, just spend directly in the name of the company, at most you can't write your name on the contract, but I think it's just a small thing."

An Feng was concerned about another point: "You're not worried about my US green card?" ”

"It depends, if it's an ordinary customer, we'll think about it carefully, after all, the Americans are pushing too hard, but the big customers say otherwise," Friedman said. There are some ways to do this, and we can't just say a word from a group of Americans, so we have to act strictly according to their commands. ”

An Feng smiled: "I think James. Bond, rest assured, you're right. ”

Bond once said that there are only two kinds of people in the world, himself and the Swiss banker.

Friedman nodded with a smile: "Inheriting a century-old reputation, no matter how big the wind and waves are, we will not easily smash our signboard." (To be continued......)
