The Rebirth of the Financial Hegemon

v3 Chapter 34: Prelude to the War (1)

Inside Wells Fargo.

Andy Smith was lost for a moment.

Billion….dollars.

He wondered if he had heard it wrong.

"Sir, do you mean to buy a billion dollars in treasury bonds?"

To make sure he heard it wrong, Smith had to ask again.

Even if he knew it was rude.

But under the figure of one billion dollars, he can no longer care about so much.

You know, even on Wall Street, there are not many institutions that can spend so much money to buy government bonds.

Few people, other than the big hedge funds and banks, can put up that much money.

Even in the world, a billion dollars is not a small amount.

At least, as Andy Smith's lobby manager, he has never received a client of this level.

Beneath the wealth, Andy Smith forgot the pride of being a white man.

There was a humility in his tone that he didn't even realize.

In Smith's disbelief, Zhao Jiangchuan raised his eyebrows helplessly.

If it is placed in the United States in 20 years, presumably Smith will not have such a reaction.

After all, it was Wells Fargo, and the lobby manager was frightened by a mere billion dollars.

This…..

Without any choice.

Zhao Jiangchuan had to repeat it.

"Yes, Mr. Smith, a billion dollars."

"Grumble" sounded.

Smith swallowed.

Even though he was already prepared, after confirming the amount, Smith still felt his heart pounding.

That's a billion dollars.

Being able to receive this kind of customer, as long as he can leave a little impression, will benefit the bank and his own career a lot.

Smith can serve as the lobby manager of Wells Fargo Bank, and his specially trained psychological quality is still good.

After raising Zhao Jiangchuan's customer level to the highest level in his heart, he immediately adjusted his mood and tried his best to show the service attitude that a lobby manager should have.

Smith bent down, and he reached out to Zhao Jiangchuan and made a guiding gesture of the highest standard.

"My dear sir, please come here with me."

The banker's dislike of the poor and the rich is best reflected in Smith.

Like a hotel waiter, he led Zhao Jiangchuan to the highest-level VIP reception room.

As the largest commercial bank in the United States, Wells Fargo's VIP rooms in places like Manhattan are naturally not low-grade.

Elegant environment, leather sofa, soft carpet.

In addition to the reception of a special bank manager, there is also mellow coffee.

As a VIP, Zhao Jiangchuan just needs to sit and taste the coffee and wait for the bank manager to bring the materials to sign.

The treasury bonds purchased by Zhao Jiangchuan are mainly medium-term treasury bonds, mainly because the medium-term treasury bonds have the highest liquidity and the strongest market demand.

The secondary market of U.S. Treasury bonds is the most liquid market in the global financial market, and its trading is 24 hours a day.

The primary transaction parties are between primary dealers, non-primary dealers and customers.

Many dealers make markets in the treasury bond market, mainly primary dealers.

Market makers provide market liquidity to clients by temporarily holding positions and earn the bid-ask spread.

In addition to trading directly with clients, primary dealers also frequently trade with each other.

Therefore, in addition to the function of pledge, this kind of bond can also be circulated and realized in the secondary market at any time.

There is less time to wait in line, and there are full-time staff to handle it, so naturally it will not delay too much time.

It didn't take long for the bank manager to get everything done.

One-stop butler service.

That's why Wells Fargo can be the largest commercial bank in the nation.

After completing the transfer of funds and bonds, Smith respectfully handed over all the documents provided by Zhao Jiangchuan.

After that, he took out a bank card that he had prepared earlier with a humble smile.

"Mr. Zhao, this is the highest-level diamond VIP card of our bank. With this card, you can use the overdraft limit of 10 million US dollars in any bank in the world. Please accept it."

Smith held a silver-white card in both hands.

Not paper, not gold-plated, but a real platinum card with a few sparkling diamonds all around.

This kind of diamond card is specially made by Wells Fargo, and the purpose is to send it out when needed.

Unfortunately, Wells Fargo can send out no more than 100 cards worldwide each year.

Of course, it is not impossible to send it out.

The card itself is worth a lot of money, not to mention that there is a credit overdraft limit of 10 million US dollars. In addition, it is a symbol of identity.

There are countless people who dream of owning a platinum card like this.

So to be precise, there are too few people who can qualify for Wells Fargo to send bank cards.

Everyone who accepts this card has at least a billion dollars in assets.

Andy Smith held the card in front of Zhao Jiangchuan with both hands, his face full of flattery and flattery.

If you can send a card of this diamond level, Smith has a lot of commissions.

The bank's service attitude is always reflected in the value.

Standard Chartered's George. King is like this, and now Andy. Smith is also like this.

Zhao Jiangchuan is very clear why Smith's attitude is so humble.

But since you have enjoyed the services provided by others, it is unreasonable not to give them some benefits.

In Smith's flattery and flattery, Zhao Jiangchuan took the card and threw it to Ouyang Lan next to him.

Ouyang Lan deserves the nickname of a small money fan.

Before Zhao Jiangchuan didn't speak, she kept staring at the card.

The color of the diamonds and platinum on it made her crescent eyes almost squinted together.

Now that I got the card, I immediately grabbed it like a baby.

Xiao Caifan's face bloomed with a smile.

If it wasn't for someone else at the scene, she would definitely hug Zhao Jiangchuan and kiss her.

This card can overdraw 10 million dollars.

How much to buy and drink.

If you buy chicken thighs, I am afraid you have to buy a truckload of them.

Ouyang Lan's eyes narrowed into a line, wondering if she thought of delicious chicken legs.

When Ouyang Lan smiled like a flower, Smith was also relieved.

As long as the card is sent out, his commission commission of tens of thousands of dollars is gone.

"Mr. Zhao, thank you! Thank you so much."

With Andy Smith's repeated thanks, Zhao Jiangchuan and his party got up and left Wells Fargo.

Until they had disappeared from sight, Smith's face still kept the most sincere smile.

on Fifth Avenue.

Ouyang Lan held Zhao Jiangchuan's arm like a bird.

In addition to the bird-like posture, there is also a bird-like chirping.

"Boss, that person said that this card can be used for credit overdrafts of 10 million US dollars. Is it true?"

"Um."

"Why is he so stupid, isn't he afraid that we will take all the money and hide it~lightnovelpub.net~ Zhao Jiangchuan is speechless.

Walking from Wells Fargo Bank to Fifth Avenue, Ouyang Lan was like a lark with a mouth she had never heard of.

Every question asked is such an idiot.

What makes Zhao Jiangchuan speechless is that Ouyang Lan has a strong thirst for knowledge.

Don't give up until you break the casserole and ask to the end.

"Boss, tell me, 10 million US dollars, but almost 100 million. They are not afraid that we will not come after we return to China."

Under Ouyang Lan's endless questioning, Zhao Jiangchuan said helplessly.

"Little money fan, why are you so crazy about money?"

"I'm not a money fan..."
