Chapter 237: Squirrel Bank
As the saying goes, the nature of the country is easy to change, and it is difficult to change! The nature of the smuggling man is to be as timid as a mouse!
When I was a child, I was a good man, I didn't enter an Internet café in elementary school, I didn't enter a disco bar in middle school, I didn't enter a bar in college, and I didn't go into gambling when I worked!
Even if you travel through the flood wilderness, dressed as a little brother of Pangu and dressed as an immortal true spirit, you are still as timid as a mouse!
Saying that he is cowardly is not true! Peeking at Nuwa's creation, eavesdropping on the teachings of the two saints, stealing the spiritual fire of the lamp, stealing to Zhenyuan's house, stealing to the side of the River Styx, stealing the spiritual liquid of the three thieves, stealing into the heavenly court, peeping at the spiritual treasure of the gods, and stealing the mountain and river map to escape from the flood!
Wasn't he bold? He was stunned by his cowardly and mouse-like character, and no one noticed it! Even the desolate Heavenly Dao was kept in the dark!
It's time to be on Earth, so it's supposed to be bold, right? Here, the Heavenly Dao of the Desolation is also an outsider!
According to ordinary people's thinking, you have to go to the door and vent your evil anger first, right?
Who knows, the earth man who escaped from the flood is also as timid as a mouse!
Later, he didn't even dare to use his innate aura! Under the common electricity and magnetism on the earth, he pretended to be an earthling, and found a place to live in seclusion overseas!
This time, I was born, not to think quietly! But to be afraid of the satellites of the future generations! I want to advance as a retreat! Let me spread out and tell everyone that we have nothing mysterious! Anyone can come and see it, and when everyone is no longer interested, it will be fine!
Just like this time, I obviously have the ability to turn the world upside down, but I am worried about being made difficult by the people in the bank, but I am worried about being beaten by the head snake!
No, the temptation went!
Pippen, is a big guy at the Squirrel Bank in Port Marseille.
The big shopkeeper of the bank was sent by the head office, and it is said that he is a relative of the boss. The big shopkeeper is responsible for lending!
Lending is better than eyesight, better information, better interpersonal relationships, and more social status!
The so-called eyesight, you have to see through the strength, morality, and fortune of the lender! You lend gold coins to those who have no strength, no moral character, and no financial luck. He's bankrupt, he's on the run, and you're almost finished!
The so-called well-informed means that you can find out the details of the lender! Who is he? Does he have any high-quality assets in his name? What is the purpose of his loan? What is the prospect of the project in which he is loaning? What is his credit record? If you don't understand this information, do you dare to lend out?
The so-called interpersonal relationship is to be able to participate in various circles. There were those who expanded the colonies, those who traded in black slaves, those who made muskets and artillery, those who sold opium, and so on. You will be able to know which industry is the most profitable at the moment! Money, of course, is lent to customers who make money!
The so-called social status, if you are not an aristocrat, you can't enter most of the interpersonal circles, right?
Bankers, not so good to be dripping!
Therefore, Pippen can only be a big guy now, in charge of gold and silver exchange. At the same time, I am observing the way the big shopkeeper works. After all, a staff member who doesn't want to be a president is not a good clerk!
Huh, somebody came in. Let's try the trick that the big shopkeeper taught me first!
The person who came was 1.8 meters tall, in his forties, with a thin face, a hooked nose, and sharp eyes!
He wears a black woolen top hat, a black leather waistcoat and a tweed jacket, but the trousers are indecipherable, as if they were herding cattle, and below is a pair of black shiny leather shoes, a well-made cane in his hand, and a gold pocket watch chain on the upper left side of the waistcoat.
Pippen began to ponder: Is it here to open an account and save money? Not like! Is it to seek a loan? Not like! Not like to repay the loan? Not even more like! Pippen is confused. But hurry up and say hello!
"Good afternoon, Excellency, welcome to Squirrel Bank! I am Pippen, and I am at your service. ”
"Look at it!" the person who came didn't talk nonsense, and threw a canvas bag directly.
Pippen had a lot of gold sand in his hand, and when he checked his hand, he knew that he had encountered the exchange of gold sand. I thought, this is my profession!
I began to wonder again: did I bring it here by the way for other business? Or is it a professional gold digger? Or is it a professional gold seller? Let's greet the customers first!
"This gentleman, please take a seat in the VIP room!" said the big guy Pi led the man into the VIP room. Naturally, there was a young guy who replaced Pippen as the lobby manager.
In front of the visitors, Pippen weighed and evaluated the gold sand, and then said, "Your Excellency ......"
"Le Pen!" said the caller. Also with a puffy word!
"Your Excellency Le Pen, after evaluation, determined that it is 1575 grams of first-class gold sand. At a rate of 75% pure color, it is exchanged for gold coins in circulation. And I will give thee seventy-three standard pieces of gold, eight pieces of silver, and thirty pieces of bronze. After Pippen finished speaking, he paused again and said:
"Your Excellency, the gold sand you provide is of very high purity! The 75% discount seems to desecrate this quality of gold sand! It's just that this is the highest discount I can give!"
"I appreciate your honesty! Your character is as noble as gold! Because of your character, I can put the subsequent gold sand in your bank for exchange. Of course, there will be conditions!
I don't want to see anyone on the street knowing that I've ever come to exchange gold sand!
Second, the amount of follow-up gold sand is relatively large, about one or two hundred kilograms. I need your bank to give me a real discount. Otherwise, I would have been able to redeem it in San Francisco!
Three, I believe in Squirrel Bank, but I also believe in paper depreciation! So, I don't accept banknotes! I only exchange gold coins or gold checks. The hook-nosed man made the offer.
"Yes, thank you for your trust! I will report to the above truthfully, and I hope that our service can satisfy you!" Pippen had a hunch that this was a big customer!
"I stayed at the Mayflower Hotel. If there is a result, you can find me there!" The man took a canvas bag containing 73 gold and 8 silver coins and left!
Just this exchange, the squirrel bank at least 15% more profit than the usual exchange!
This kind of gold sand, which is almost pure gold, has never been seen before! Well, we have to think about it seriously and report it to the big shopkeeper! This kind of customer can't let him run!
The Mayflower Hotel is a mid-range hotel on Fifth Avenue. The shopkeeper was originally a boat runner, but when he was old and had rheumatism, he sold his fleet and opened a hotel on Fifth Street.
Because of the good popularity when running boats, and the proximity of Fifth Avenue to the pier, boaters like to come here for a drink. Over time, it became a message center.
The hotel shopkeeper had a clever brain, and simply opened a trade information exchange bar. Let the Mayflower Hotel become a cargo distribution center, where cargo owners and ship owners can communicate freely. No one is going to sit with a cheeky face, is there?
Of course, the hotel will provide a credit guarantee very secretly!
Therefore, when the stranger entered the store, the first person to stand up and look at the old shipowner's first mate, now in the Mayflower lobby, McCain: "Sir, Mayflower welcomes you!"
