Chapter 414: Coles' Choice
In mid-September, the yellowing of the maple leaves spreads all over the streets, making it a unique sight in Atlanta.
At the same time, the first bank on the mainland quietly opened.
The opening ceremony was very low-key, and it opened the door directly without any publicity, which is not at all in line with its unshakable status on the mainland in the future.
And yet even so.
Banks are still very fast to become popular.
Even after only three days, there was a long queue at the door, and countless people came to handle the storage business with large bags and small bags of coins.
This was a surprise to Ari, who had always believed that it would be very difficult to get money out of someone's hands.
After all, in front of real money, a bunch of numbers is too insecure.
His original plan was to accumulate slowly, accumulate steadily, and use his industry to promote the development of the bank, but he did not expect the progress to be amazing.
Before he even launched the discount on payment, the bank became popular all over Atlanta City!
However, if you think about it from another angle, things are very simple.
In the face of high prices and living standards in Atlanta, the establishment of a bank can be said to be a matter of course, after all, every time you go out, you have to carry a large bag of gold coins, which is not only inconvenient, but also unsafe.
Although the amethyst card is convenient, but the cost is too high, it is difficult to popularize it in a large area, according to the statistics of the Department of Finance, the current Amethyst card in Atlanta City is not even 30% of the people, it can be said that the launch of the bank is in line with the economic development needs of Atlanta City.
Moreover, the location of the bank is also excellent, not only occupying the best part of the shopping mall, but also the bright seven-colored falcon logo at the entrance has attracted everyone's attention in the morning.
With the support of the good reputation of the city lord's mansion, no one would believe that the bank would cheat them out of their money at all.
Naturally, opening a bank will not only have storage business, but also currency exchange is the top priority of iResearch's plan.
In order to make a smooth transition, it is not directly stated that it is a new currency, but instead uses the term bonds, one gold coin can buy 100 Atlanta bonds, which can be used to buy items in shopping malls, and as for real estate and magic cars, only bonds are accepted.
After the people get used to it, the copper, silver, and gold coins will be gradually eliminated from the Atlanta system.
However, the enthusiasm of the people clearly surprised iResearch, and in just one week, the savings card used by the bank to record the balance of bonds was redeemed.
At the same time, there are also more deposits worth more than 90 billion bonds in the bank's accounts!
"The speed of this bank's gold absorption is too terrifying, just a bunch of cards and numbers, and it cheated all the money in other people's hands?"
In the city lord's office, Lannis looked at the bank's income report in disbelief.
Ari played with the No. 0000000000000001 savings card in his hand and said happily: "Don't underestimate this pile of cards, this is an epoch-making invention, and it is the research of thousands of magicians day and night that has brought about the current results." ”
Ai Rui is not exaggerating, in fact, it is even more difficult than this, after all, it is easy to make cards, but it is not easy to prevent loopholes, and it is also necessary to prevent others from maliciously copying, the difficulty has increased a lot, until the first magic energy computer on the continent was born some time ago, and this problem was solved.
"Anyway, some of this money will be allocated to the Department of Commerce and Trade, and I will only need three achievements!" said Lannis, his eyes lit up.
"It's beautiful!" A soft snort from the door interrupted Lannis's fantasy, and Lilia walked to the desk without hurrying, and said with a blank face: "This time, the money will be allocated to the Security Department first, after all, the bank's security guards use the manpower of the Security Department, and most of them are high-end forces." ”
"Don't think about the appropriation, the bank's income must be accounted for independently. Ari refused without hesitation.
What are you kidding, if you use the money so casually, Atlanta City will not be far from bankruptcy.
As for the issue of guards, it needs to be solved urgently.
Ari thought for a moment and said to Lilia, "You can find someone from the Young Gang to set up a guard hire company, run it independently, and entrust the bank's security business to this guard hire company." After all, the strength of the Security Department is somewhat wasted in this regard. ”
Lilia shook her head: "The bank now has a large amount of gold coins, which is very unsafe, and it is unlikely that the hiring company will recruit enough trustworthy masters in a short period of time." ”
"It's okay, isn't the Griffin Knights having nothing to do, with them, there is not much strength on the ground, no one dares to rob the bank, unless it is a master at the level of the Great Magister, otherwise even if the Magister comes, he has to stay in Atlanta City." ”
Ari has this self-confidence, and now Atlanta City is impregnable!
After dispelling the two of them's unrealistic illusions about bank funds, Ari also put down his official duties and walked out of the city hall.
Atlanta's stalls are too big, there aren't enough talents, and now that anything will be sent to his desk, he hasn't had time to drag racing lately.
As for the deputy city lord Lannis, who was originally going to be used to block the gun, I can't count on it, and being in charge of a finance department is tired enough, and I can't manage other things at all.
Ggil!
Ari suddenly thought of the fat man who seemed to be wise and foolish, this guy was a good hand at handling problems.
During Tolkien's time in Atlanta's hands, few problems arose other than the unstoppable rise of the Boys.
And the rise of the Young Boys Gang is really not to blame on him, there is a traitor like Gal here, except for Tolkien himself, no one will come!
Thinking that he had run out of time to cultivate recently, Ari was a little irritable, and beckoned to the darkness, and a guard from the Blood Killing Hall respectfully appeared.
"You go to the Magic Guild, send a letter to Tolkien, send this fat man over quickly, I must see him in Atlanta City in ten days, dead or alive!"
At the same time, Gegil, who was far away in the royal capital, suddenly shuddered, but the thought of where he was now made his face immediately filled with sorrow again.
"Your Majesty, although the city of Atlanta is good, my heart is always yours, and I can't betray you!"
"It's impossible to betray me?" Tolkien sneered, "I'm afraid I've already discussed it with Ari, what benefits did he promise you?" ”
Gegil hurriedly shouted wronged: "I really don't know, I was eating hot pot and singing at home, and you called me over......"
"Then what are you going to do now, people want you by name. ”
"I won't say yes!"
"I've said yes!"
"Then they can only get my body, not my heart!"
"Get out!"
"Okay. ”
"Come back!" Tolkien stopped Gergil, who was about to slip away, and asked with a dark face, "Do you know what to do when you get to Atlanta?"
"Yes. Gegil nodded like garlic, with a very loyal expression, and said, "Of course it's eating and drinking, causing trouble everywhere, anyway, it's just not doing business!"
Gegil was talking excitedly, when he suddenly saw Tolkien's sneering expression, his smile suddenly froze, and he stammered, "Wang...... Your Majesty, you ...... You're not going to ask me to go undercover. ”
"What do you say?"
Gegil hurriedly shook his head in a panic: "Your Majesty, you know me, my level can't be an undercover agent, or you send someone else, I think the kingdom's finance minister is very good, and he is very suitable to continue to shine in this position!"
"People want you. ”
"Your Majesty, you really die!"
Tolkien snorted dissatisfiedly, and Gegil trembled, and cried loudly: "Take care, King, Gegill will be loyal to you again!"
"What do you mean?" Tolkien looked at Gergil's frightened expression, frowning slightly, he was just about to beat it, how did he get it like life and death, snorted dissatisfiedly, and said: "It's not for you to die, since he wants you, he naturally won't kill you." ”
When Gegil heard this, he immediately lay on the ground, hugged Tolkien's thigh, and wept bitterly: "Your Majesty, you don't know! They sent me a thing a few days ago, and I couldn't understand it at first, but now I finally understand that they are threatening me!"
Tolkien looked at Gergil, who had a handful of snot and tears, and took a step back slightly: "Threatening you, what?"
"A movie, what's the name...... Infernal Affairs?yes, it's Infernal Affairs!" Gergill wiped tears and said, "There is an undercover agent in the movie named Yongin Stark, I originally thought he had the same surname as me......"
"Yongren Stark?" Tolkien looked blank.
"It's an undercover agent in the movie, he died so miserably, he is warning me that being an undercover agent will not end well!"
"Bring me that movie and show me it. ”
Tolkien frowned, not understanding what could scare Gegil, and when he saw that Gegill had someone bring a crystal ball, he thought he understood.
He had seen this kind of crystal ball in Atlanta, which could record real terrans, could it be that he was threatened through this?
Tolkien glanced at Gergil, who was still trembling, and wondered, is there any difference between a video threat and a letter threat?
Gegill took out a thin disc and said with a bitter face: "Block out the light in the room, and then stuff this disc into the crystal ball and you can watch it......"
Tolkien immediately ordered the doors and windows to be covered with curtains, and the last bit of light in the study was also obscured, and Gergill hurriedly placed the crystal ball on the desk and aimed it at a piece of white cloth on the wall.
"The Buddha said: Suffering from the infertile body will never die, and longevity is the great calamity in the infernal hell. ”
Accompanied by the terrifying background music, a blood-red text appeared in the air.
Infernal Affairs officially begins screenings.
On the only chair in the study, Tolkien looked at the picture calmly, turned his head to Gergill and asked, "What does this mean?"
"I don't know, but it looks scary, and based on the content, I guess it means that the undercover agent can't die well!" said Gergil, trembling.
Tolkien nodded, and shifted his gaze back to the white cloth.
In the picture, the first character has already appeared.
"The Prophet said that one will make all bones dry, but I disagree. ”
"I think it's up to you to decide whether you live or die!"
“......”
"Cheers, sir. ”
"I wish you all the best in the Security Department,"
As the film plays, Tolkien has an interested look on his face.
It's kind of funny, a small gang gang gang actually wants to plant an undercover agent in the security department?
He adjusted his sitting position and looked intently.
"I obviously said that it was three years, but after three years, three years later, three years later, and three years, it's almost ten years, boss!"
"I retired as soon as the case was solved. ”
I've heard this more than 9,000 times. ”
“......”
"Give me a chance. ”
"How did I give you a chance?"
"I didn't have a choice before, now I want to be a good person. ”
"Okay, talk to the judge, see if he lets you be a good person,"
"That's to make me die?"
"I'm sorry, I'm a police officer. ”
"Who knows?"
Suddenly!
"Tear!"
A long sword pierced Yongin Stark's chest, and a police officer in a police uniform emerged from behind.
Looking at Yongren Stark's fading eyes in the picture, Tolkien's always calm face finally showed a look of shock.
Gergil wept bitterly.
Yongin Stark is so handsome, why did he die like this.
He's just following orders from above.
He's innocent.
"Shut up!"
Tolkien let out a loud shout, and Gergill was so frightened that he quickly shut up.
Tolkien was able to watch the movie quietly again.
However, the movie is nearing the end by this time, and the last line of the whole play comes out of the mouth of Jianming McCain.
"I want to swap ...... with him"
"I don't want to!"
Gergil's emotions are broken in the final scene, and he can no longer control it, and the pig-like cry directly pulls Tolkien out of the mood created by the pathos, and Tolkien moves his mouth, and finally retracts the rebuke.
His gaze turned to the crystal ball on the table, this thing called a movie was so powerful that even his emotions were affected.
As for Gergil......
Looking at Gergil, whose eyes were swollen from crying, Tolkien sighed.
No wonder he was so scared, this threat was undisguised.
None of the undercover agents in the play ended well, and with Tolkien's wisdom, it can naturally be seen that the only living Jianming McCain may be tortured for a lifetime.
This fat man is good at everything, but he is too afraid of death.
However, the pig-like voice was really ugly, Tolkien frowned, and said angrily: "Go down, do you want to be an undercover agent, I'm thinking about it." ”
Perhaps too sad, Gegil left without the crystal ball, and when Gegill's footsteps disappeared, Tolkien's gaze turned to the crystal ball again, and the blood-red text appeared in the air again.
