Chapter 24: The Great Deal
After the meal, Tang Hua said goodbye to everyone, although this is the American concession, there is no guarantee that there are no spies of little devils, so for the sake of safety, Tang Hua, as the person in charge of the entire Tianjin underground party, can't stay with Zhang Yunfei and them for too long, for fear of revealing his identity.
The task of leading Zhang Yunfei to Citibank in the United States was handed over to Jiang Xiaoying, and Jiang Xiaoying led Zhang Yunfei and two special combat team members to find Citibank in the United States with ease.
The Tianjin branch of Citibank in the United States was one of the most powerful foreign banks in China at that time, which is one of the reasons why Zhang Yunfei was relieved to deposit so much gold and silver into this bank.
When Zhang Yunfei walked into Citibank, a Chinese young man in a suit and leather shoes warmly received them, in this era to the bank to handle business are the so-called successful people or dignitaries, ordinary people do not have two spare money to deposit in the bank, ordinary people are still in order to fill their stomachs and work hard.
Zhang Yunfei saw that the reception was a Chinese, and knew that it might be an ordinary staff, and the middle and high-level of foreign banks in this era must be blonde foreigners, and their own business is relatively large, or it is better to get straight to the point, so as not to waste their time.
So Zhang Yunfei said to the guy in charge of reception: "Young man, let's call your manager over, I need to handle big business." ”
Hearing Zhang Yunfei say that he wanted to handle big business, and seeing that Zhang Yunfei's expression was not like a lie, he hurriedly went to find their manager.
After a while, a tall middle-aged man with a long beard hurriedly walked over and said in a rather stiff Chinese dialect: "Hello, sir, my name is Hank, what is your surname?" Is there anything we need to do for you? ”
Seeing that the foreigner was struggling to speak, Zhang Yunfei said in fluent English: "Mr. Hank, hello, my surname is Zhang, I don't know if your bank has a business of exchanging gold and silver for US dollars." ”
Seeing Zhang Yunfei speaking pure English with a New York accent, Hank was surprised and said in English: "Oh my God, Mr. Zhang, your English is so good, talking to you is like meeting my old friend for many years, oh, it feels so good." ”
Seeing Zhang Yunfei looking at him with a smile, Hank may have felt that he hadn't answered Zhang Yunfei's question, and shrugged his shoulders embarrassedly: "Dear Mr. Zhang, our bank has a gold and silver exchange business for US dollars, I wonder how many ounces of gold and silver you need to exchange, sir?" ”
"That's a lot, thousands of kilograms!" Zhang Yunfei said lightly.
"My God, Mr. Zhang, you are really my God of Wealth, please go to the VIP room, we will talk in detail inside." Hank said happily.
In the VIP room, Zhang Yunfei and Hank completed the big deal, an ounce (about 31 grams) of gold for $35, an ounce of silver for $1.5, and a piece of ocean for $2.5. As for the jewelry, it will be appraised by Citibank's professional appraisers.
After the deal was reached, Zhang Yunfei also proposed that more than a dozen boxes of gold and silver were in the suburbs of Tianjin, and Citibank needed to send a car back to the bank's headquarters.
Because it was a large transaction, Zhang Yunfei's small request Hank readily agreed.
Seeing that the most troublesome transportation problem was solved, Zhang Yunfei also breathed a sigh of relief, Zhang Yunfei knew that there was no war between the United States and Yueben at present, and the American vehicles went out of the city to transport some things in, and he would not necessarily check them, not to mention, Citibank's vehicles had special passes, so they would be safer.
Citibank sent a large truck and a small Ford car, and the large truck compartment was covered with a thick canvas, and the contents could not be seen from the outside.
He was accompanied by Zhang Yunfei, Jiang Xiaoying, two members of the special combat team, and Hank of Citibank, with a Ford car in front and a large truck in the back, all the way out of the American concession and to the southern suburbs of Tianjin.
When I was about to leave Tianjin City, there was a checkpoint for little devils, and there were about a dozen devils and dozens of puppet soldiers checking passing vehicles and pedestrians.
When he arrived at the checkpoint, Hank got out of the car and showed a special pass, and the puppet army company commander in charge of the inspection, seeing that it was a blonde foreigner, with a flattering smile on his face, took the pass and looked at it, and then nodded and returned the pass to Hank, waved his hand to the several puppet soldiers who set up the card, and asked several puppet soldiers to move the barricade and let them go, and a few imps in the distance just glanced at this side and didn't say anything.
Out of Tianjin City, under the guidance of Zhang Yunlong, about half an hour came to the place where Zhang Yunfei hid gold and silver, under Zhang Yunfei's instructions, several staff members moved away from the camouflage above, and saw more than a dozen large boxes neatly placed below.
Seeing so many large boxes, Hank opened one of them, and the dazzling gold bars in it almost dazzled his eyes, and he exclaimed "mygod" several times in a row, and his expression of joy was overflowing.
Jiang Xiaoying saw such gold, and her eyes were full of stars, and the eyes of Zhang Yunfei were different, just like the beauties of later generations saw "rich and handsome".
On the contrary, the two special combat team members behaved quite calmly, and they had long taken Zhang Yunfei's miraculous performance for granted, Zhang Yunfei was a tall god in the minds of the majority of special combat personnel, and there was nothing to make a fuss about if he had more than a dozen boxes of real money and silver.
It took a lot of effort to load the dozen or so heavy boxes onto the truck and cover them tightly with thick canvas. I went to Citibank in Tianjin City one after the other.
When he passed through the little ghost's checkpoint again, before Hank could show his special pass, it was still the puppet army company commander, who sneered at Hank's face, and easily let him go again, and the truck behind him obviously had some more goods, and he didn't come up to check.
Back at Citibank, Hank directly took Zhang Yunfei and Jiang Xiaoying to the VIP room, while the two special combat team members and Citibank staff went to count the dozen boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.
In the VIP room, Hank seemed extremely enthusiastic, and began to talk with Zhang Yunfei from all over the world, from China to the United States, and then to Europe, the two talked very happily, Jiang Xiaoying next to him could only understand a rough idea, the two spoke all in English, and the speed of speech was fast.
Although she didn't fully understand, Jiang Xiaoying also listened to it with relish, looking at Zhang Yunfei with a smile, and her curiosity about Zhang Yunfei from the beginning slowly turned into admiration and admiration.
About two hours later, two special combat team members and several bank staff members entered the VIP room with a large stack of checklists and reported the results of the inventory to Zhang Yunfei and Hank.
These dozen boxes of gold and silver jewelry, a total of more than 1,300 kilograms of gold, more than 600 kilograms of silver, more than 300,000 pieces of ocean, in addition, a box of jewelry after being appraised by a professional appraiser, can be equivalent to about 800,000 US dollars, according to the pre-negotiated price of gold and silver in US dollars, this batch of treasures is equivalent to US dollars in a total of 3 million and 5,000 US dollars.
Zhang Yunfei asked Hank to open a passbook of $3 million and another $5,000 to open a passbook, and Zhang Yunfei planned to give the $5,000 to the Tianjin underground party organization as activity funds.
When he learned that the 5,000 US dollars Zhang Yunfei gave to his Tianjin underground party organization as activity funds, Jiang Xiaoying took the passbook, his eyes became heart-shaped, and he kissed Zhang Yunfei on the face in front of everyone, and then ran away so shy that he ran away.
Zhang Yunfei touched his cheeks, feeling Jiang Xiaoying's soft, fragrant lips just now, Zhang Yunfei couldn't help but grin.
