"Dell is in North America at the moment, but Connie and I have been sent to Europe.

I was the head of Mellon Bank in Paris, France, and Coney was head of Mellon Bank in London.

Originally, Connie and I should have cooperated and joined forces to fight against Dale and prevent him from gaining momentum, because Dale is the one who is currently the most promising to become the official heir of the Mellon family! ”

Steve picked up the teacup on the table, moistened his throat, and continued:

"So at the beginning, Connie and I made a pact to deal with Dale together, but since the year before, I realized that I took it for granted, that Connie guy is not reliable at all, and he is not qualified to be the heir of the Mellon family."

As he spoke, Steve said in a deep voice, "Does Mr. Yuan know why I asked Anderson to buy gold in London's underground market?" Of course, not only in London, but also in Zurich and New York, I am also secretly buying gold, but does Mr. Yuan know why? ”

Yuan Ze shook his head: "I don't know, is it possible, it has something to do with that Connie Mellon?" ”

Steve nodded: "Yes, three years ago, Connie and I reached a cooperation, planning to use each other's power as the head of the bank to embezzle the gold of the Bank of London Mellon and the Bank of Paris Mellon to speculate in gold.

Although this is not allowed commercially, it is feasible, or acquiesced, in the successive generations of the Mellon family. But only if there is no mess!

According to our calculations, once the plan is achieved, Connie and I will both make a lot of money, and the income will be $1 billion! ”

Steve sighed: "It's a pity, Connie didn't do it as planned, he was too greedy, originally with the size of our funds, 10 times leverage is high enough, but Connie pulled 20 times leverage."

Finally, because of the sudden killing of the international market, we had two long gold orders, which directly exploded.

Connie was frightened at the time, he thought that the price of gold was going to start to decline, so he closed all the remaining orders, and then took most of the money to exchange for gold, and made up for the gold gap at London Mellon Bank himself, but left me with a bad debt! ”

Yuan Ze thought for a moment and continued to listen to him.

Steve continued: "To be honest, there were only two orders that were liquidated at that time, and the margin lost was only hundreds of millions of dollars.

But he was too anxious, too panicked, too affected by emotions, and finally threw all the bad debts at me, which is really hateful! ”

Yuan Ze said: "I take the liberty of asking, how much gold did you use at that time?" ”

Steve didn't hide it, and said directly: "A total of 120 tons, I will give out 60 tons, and Connie will give 60 tons." ”

Yuan Ze was surprised: "Does Mellon Bank actually have so much gold inventory in Europe?" ”

Steve shook his head and said: "Of course not, Mellon Bank has two important branches in Europe, one is in London and the other is in Paris, which belongs to the bank's own amount of gold, and the two banks add up to about thirty or forty tons, and most of the rest are deposited by customers." ”

Yuan Ze nodded: "That's it, that 120 tons of gold could be worth a lot of money three years ago, right?" ”

"Three years ago, alas, it was September 2019, when the price of gold was still below $1,500 per ounce, and our 120 tons of gold were replaced by about $5.6 billion," Steve sighed.

But a year later, in August and September 2020, the price of gold soared to $2,000 an ounce, an increase of more than 30%!

Even if we don't eat a 30% increase, only take a third, eat a 10% increase, 10 times leverage, and after deducting a year's allocation fee, it will be close to $3 billion in profits, but unfortunately, alas, it's really a pity......"

Anderson said on the side: "The gold surge from 2019 to 2020 was indeed an opportunity to expand wealth, so Steve, how much did you lose at that time?" ”

"How much did you lose?" Steve's face was melancholy, and he said dryly: "I have forgotten how many dollars I lost, but I remember that I lost about 20 tons of gold at that time." ”

"Isn't that a billion dollars, that's not a small amount of money." Anderson said in a speech: "That's you, if it were someone else, the gold gap of more than a billion dollars would probably collapse long ago." ”

"I almost had a breakdown, I had the idea of jumping off the building, but in the end I held back." Steve smiled bitterly and said: "After repeated efforts in the past two years, I have secretly purchased a batch of gold, but the amount has never been enough, and there is still a gap of 15 tons.

And the day when the Mellon family sent someone to investigate also came quickly, just twenty days later.

Once the investigation begins, a pair of ledgers, my 15 tons of gold shortfall, will inevitably be exposed, even if you add more than 7 tons of gold in Mr. Yuan's hand, it is not enough...... And when the time comes, I'll be completely finished! ”

Yuan Ze asked, "What about Connie?" ”

"Connie? Of course he was fine, he took the money away in advance at that time, and he didn't lose a single gram of gold! Steve sighed: "Moreover, we did it very secretively to speculate on gold, and few people knew about it, and after Connie withdrew, he quickly wiped out the traces of his involvement, even if I threatened him with self-explosion, it was useless." ”

"So, what exactly do you want to do with me?"

"That's all for you, I think, Mr. Yuan, you must be able to guess it, right?"

"You're going to get revenge on Connie?" Yuan Ze asked.

"Yes, I want to take revenge on him, although I am cousins with him, but he betrayed me first and betrayed my trust in him, then he must bear the price of betrayal, I will make him ruined and removed from the Mellon family!"

As he spoke, Steve's eyes showed a fierce look, and he said, "At the same time, I also want to get back my part of the gold!" ”

Yuan Zeyan considered the feasibility of the cooperation.

Just as he was about to inquire further about the situation, Steve said:

"Okay, Mr. Yuan, I've told you my secret, and I know what you're doing on the Thames, and if you're interested in what I'm going to do, we can work together.

But before we do that, let's close the deal you have in hand.

I'll have to make sure if you really have what it takes to transport more than 7 tons of gold into London under the nose of British Customs. ”

Yuan Ze nodded and said, "No problem, I can arrange someone to take you to see the goods immediately, but before we see the goods, we have to sign a confidentiality agreement first, so that it will be beneficial to you and me." ”

"Yes!"

Yuan Ze took out a confidentiality agreement from his bag and handed it to Steve, who took it and looked at it, and without hesitation, he picked up the pen and signed his name.

[You have signed a non-disclosure agreement with Steve Mellon!] 】

After the agreement was signed, the men did not have any unnecessary conversations, and soon arrived at a warehouse near the port of London.

In this warehouse, there are about 2 tons of 24K gold, and the remaining 5.64 tons were divided into two other warehouses by Yuan Ze.

He did this mainly because he was afraid that there would be a problem with the transaction and he would be taken care of.

Keep an eye on it, there's nothing wrong with that.

After trading the 2 tons of gold in the first warehouse with Steve and Anderson, and confirming that he had received their remittance, Yuan Ze immediately went to the second and third warehouses with them.

After a lot of hard work, it was close to 5pm London time that the 7.64t 24K gold transaction was finally completed.

At $1,800 per ounce, Mr. Yuan received about $442 million in remittances.

……

In the private room of the Addison Hotel.

The lights were shining, the atmosphere was peaceful, Yuan Ze, Steve and Anderson were sitting at a dining table, pushing cups and changing lamps, talking and laughing.

At this time, Steve's positive emotional progress has reached more than 2,000 points, and there is still a little distance from 10,000 points.

In the middle of the meal, without waiting for Yuan Ze to mention what was going to happen, Steve couldn't wait to tell him and Anderson everything he planned to do.

It turned out that Steve, after being cornered, directly started Connie's crooked idea.

This is also a bit similar to Yuan Ze, if you are unreasonable, then I will not be unreasonable, let's see who is more insidious!

However, Steve is more murderous than Yuan Ze, and he plans to directly organize people to rob the vault of the London Mellon Bank that Connie is in charge of, and then empty the gold inside.

Steve couldn't be more excited when he mentioned it.

However, Anderson, who was still sane, pouted and said: "Seriously Steve, before you came to London, I knew that you would make trouble, but I didn't expect you to be so crazy that you actually started the idea of the Bank of London Mellon vault."

Do you know how tight it is?

It's close to the city centre, with the Royal Court to the west, King Charles III's estate to the south, and there are guards everywhere, how dare you? ”

Steve's face was gloomy and he said: "The Mellon family's expedition team is coming to Europe in twenty days, and I have no way out, I have no choice but to do this!" Anderson, you're willing to help me, right? ”

Anderson squirmed his lower lip and said helplessly: "We are best friends, of course I will help you."

To be honest, before Mr. Yuan got involved, I felt like our success rate was almost zero.

Although Mr. Yuan is involved now, our winning rate is still not high, and I am very pessimistic about this, I don't think the success rate will exceed 10%......"

】

"It's already good to have one percent! It's worth fighting! Steve smiled.

Then after taking a sip of wine, he turned his head to look at Yuan Ze and said, "Regarding the wrecks of the Thames, the information I got is that the bottom of the ship has been cut off by sharp things, so, Mr. Yuan, you should have a device in your hand that can quickly cut through steel, or 'monster', right?" ”

Yuan Ze nodded when he heard this: "Not bad." ”

Steve said, "In that case, it's easy to do!" I was worried that I wouldn't be able to cut the vault door quickly before and after arriving at the vault gate, but now with Mr. Yuan on board, this shouldn't be a problem, right? ”

Yuan Ze smiled and said, "In Steve, in your opinion, it is not difficult to reach the door of the vault of the Bank of London Mellon, and in my opinion, it is not difficult to cut the door of the vault, but I don't know if you have considered a question, that is, how to carry the gold in the vault?" ”

Steve frowned when he heard this, and said: "Indeed, the handling of gold is a big problem, and the vault of this bank in charge of Connie has at least 60 tons of gold stored, and it is even possible that more than 70 tons.

With so much gold, even if it is pulled by a large truck, it will take two to load it.

The vault is in the basement, and I don't know how long it will take to get all the gold out of the ground and load it onto the car......"

Yuan Ze interjected: "I personally think that according to your approach, even if we can empty all the dozens of tons of gold in the vault and send it to the car before the police arrive, the problem is ......

Have you considered another question, can these two trucks escape the pursuit?

Perhaps, once the eucalyptus is confirmed, it is not the London police who can intervene, but Mi6 will be dispatched directly. ”

Steve said a little uncomfortably: "yes, yes, there are so many key points in this, I seem to take it for granted...... What to do, what to do? ”

Yuan Ze saw his crazy appearance and said, "Don't worry, tell me about your preparations, and after I listen, I may be able to give some good advice." ”

Steve nodded, and said slowly: "At present, I have bought off the people around Connie, and I have also obtained the construction drawings of the Bank of London Mellon and its underground vault, once we start to act, someone will cooperate with us, and we can quickly approach the vault!" ”

"Got a vault drawing? Can you show me? ”

"Of course, wait a minute."

Steve quickly handed over the drawings to Yuan Ze.

Yuan Ze watched it for a while, and then asked Steve to continue.

Steve said: "I came to London this time, in addition to the main operatives, I also brought 50 people who are not afraid of death, plus Anderson's people, they can completely cause chaos in other major neighborhoods of London and buy us enough time." ”

At this point, Steve paused, and continued: "If Anderson uses his connections again, he can successfully make the neighborhood where the Bank of London Mellon is located." ”

Yuan Ze shook his head when he heard this: "With such a large gold theft, I'm afraid Mr. Anderson can't cover the sky with one hand, right?" Of course, Mr. Anderson, I'm not looking down on your strength. ”

Anderson waved his hand and said, "Mr. Yuan, you are right, what Steve wants to do, because the amount of money involved is huge, it is indeed not something I can suppress, if the location is remote, it is easy to say, but the location of that vault is too close to the city center, and there are some important people living nearby......"

Yuan Ze said: "So, for the sake of safety, my advice is not to be brutal. ”

Steve asked, "So what should be done?" Mr. Yuan, do you have any good ideas? ”

Yuan Ze smiled slightly: "Speaking of ideas, I do have a not very mature idea, but it depends on whether the two of you are willing to believe me." ”

"Naturally, we are willing to believe it, otherwise, we would not have revealed such a major matter to Mr. Yuan."

"Since the two of you are willing to believe me, then it's easy to do, your people don't have to kill people, you just need to cover for me, and I'll take care of the rest."
