After Zhang Tao walked into the bank, the staff came up and asked in English what service he needed, Zhang Tao replied in English to sell some gold, and after finishing speaking, he carried the suitcase in his left hand with his hand, the staff showed a happy expression and asked Zhang Tao to wait for a while, and then walked quickly to a room, it is very beneficial to exchange gold for money, gold is a currency that preserves value and money can be depreciated, Zhang Tao guessed that this staff should get a lot of bonuses.

A few seconds later, a man who looked like a manager came out with a smile and asked Zhang Tao to sit in the VIP room. After coming to the VIP room, the manager gave Zhang Tao a cup of coffee, and then sat down and asked Zhang Tao how much gold he had, Zhang Tao opened the suitcase for the manager to see, and the manager couldn't hold back the ecstasy after seeing it.

"Sir, please show me your ID! We need to check if you have a criminal record in your country! The manager said with a smile.

"Why don't you be allowed to trade if you have a criminal record?" Zhang Tao asked with some interest after hearing this.

"Nope! It's just that you can't trade if you have a wanted warrant! The manager replied.

"Oh! That's it! Zhang Tao said and took out his ID card and handed it to the manager, and then showed the manager his passport.

After the manager took Zhang Tao's ID card and entered a room inside, he walked out after a while and said to Zhang Tao with a smile: "Sir! There is nothing wrong with your identity! After finishing speaking, he returned his ID card to Zhang Tao.

"Sir can now trade gold!" The manager said.

"Good! Sell them all here! The suitcase has to be given to me! Zhang Tao took out the sundries in the suitcase containing gold and handed the suitcase to the manager.

"Huh! Good! Mr! Please follow me! The manager smiled and led Zhang Tao to a room and entered.

There are several weighing scales and some testing equipment in the room, and after the manager and the staff exchanged a few words, the staff picked up a gold bar and put it under the testing equipment for scanning, Zhang Tao listened to the manager not speak English. Switzerland is mainly composed of immigrants, with the French and Germans being the most, followed by Italians. Geneva is French-speaking and the manager should speak French.

The staff then took out a few other gold bars in the suitcase and tested, saying, "The purity is 99%!" ”

Zhang Tao didn't know if the staff couldn't speak English or could say this, so he smiled and replied to the staff thank you!

After the test, he weighed the gold bar on a scale, and the manager used a calculator to calculate the price and showed it to Zhang Tao, "Sir, a total of 3.2 million francs!" ”

"Oh! Help me change to euros! Zhang Tao said that if he wants to live in Iceland in the future, it will be more convenient to buy things in euros.

"Okay! Mr! That's 2,944,000 euros when converted into euros! The manager calculated.

"Good! Open me a card! Zhang Tao said.

After a while, the manager took a piece of paper and a card, handed it to Zhang Tao and said, "Sir, please sign your name on this agreement, and I can transfer money to you!" ”

Zhang Tao looked at the agreement and there were no loopholes and traps, and after checking it, he wrote his name in the lower right corner, and the manager took the card and transferred the account to Zhang Tao. The manager handed Zhang Tao a plastic bag, which contained a passbook, a dark blue card, and some paper documents.

"How much does your highest-level gold card cost?"

"The minimum is $1 million!" The manager replied with a smile.

"A million!" Zhang Tao said with a little surprise.

"Sir, you are still very young! I'm optimistic about you! The manager said with a smile.

"Thank you!" Zhang Tao also said with a smile.

"And this one for you!" The manager took a folding knife and handed it to Zhang Tao.

Zhang Tao took it and looked at the folding knife, which was red lacquer with a shield logo on it, "Is it a Swiss army knife?" ”

"Yes, sir! This is the best Swiss Victorinox saber! Only 100,000 handfuls are produced per day! ”

"Oh! Thank you! I love it so much! Where is the nearest store that sells this saber? Zhang Tao asked.

"Sir, we can give you a few more!" The manager said.

"No need! I want to buy more! If only you tell me the location! ”

"I'll ask the bank's driver to take you there!" The manager said and said a few words to the staff on the side, and the staff trotted out.

"How embarrassing! Thank you! Zhang Tao smiled and thanked.

"You're welcome! You are now our big customer, this is your benefit! The manager said with a smile.

"That's right! Can you pour me a glass of your direct water? I heard that the water in Switzerland is very tasty, and I only saw Evian water sold at the airport! ”

"No problem!" The manager said, took a glass of water from a direct drinking water faucet and handed it to Zhang Tao.

"Yes! It's delicious! It's pure! Zhang Tao said to the manager after taking a sip.

"Thank you! Some of the fountains on the street also have direct drinking water that can be quoted! ”

"Oh! Then I'll try! ”

After a minute, the staff led a man with white gloves to walk in and said a few words to the manager, who smiled and said to Zhang Tao: "Sir! Our driver is here! ”

Zhang Tao stood up and put the plastic bag into the suitcase, pulled the two suitcases and the driver out of the door, the manager and a staff member sent Zhang Tao out of the gate, Zhang Tao and the manager shook hands and got into the car.

After the driver pulled Zhang Tao to a store, Zhang Tao thanked the driver and let him go. After arriving at the store, Zhang Tao asked a staff member where the Victorinox saber was, and was led by the staff to a row of shelves, on which there were rows of Victorinox sabers of various colors.

Zhang Tao also had an understanding in China before, the Swiss army knife is divided into several different styles, there are several styles of military, car repair, mountain climbing, hunting, Zhang Tao asked the staff to take a bag, took dozens of Swiss champions and hunters' Victorinox sabers, put them all into the bag, the staff took the initiative to take the bag and led Zhang Tao to the counter to pay the bill.

"Hello sir! That's three thousand euros in total! The cashier said to Zhang Tao with a smile.

"Oh! Good! Zhang Tao said, took out the bank card from the suitcase and handed it to the cashier.

"Oh! Oh, my God! The cashier let out an exclamatory sound.

Maybe there's something special about Zhang Tao's bank card, but Zhang Tao can't see it. After pressing the password and paying the money, the cashier asked Zhang Tao with a smile: "Sir!" Do you need a tour guide? ”

"Thank you! I'm leaving Switzerland! ”

"Welcome next time!" The cashier said with a smile.

"Bye-bye!" Zhang Tao responded and walked out of the store with two suitcases.
