Age of Dreams

() Citibank is the largest commercial bank in the United States, and has its service outlets in more than 150 countries and regions around the world.

Unlike investment banks such as Goldman Sachs Investment Bank, JPMorgan Chase, and Morgan Stanley, Citibank, like City Bank of America and Royal Bank of Scotland, focuses on business services, not speculation.

To put it simply, they are the successors of the ancient banks. China's four major banks of China Construction Agriculture and Industry were established according to their operation mode.

At the same time, Citibank has always had a good reputation in the world, at least not like some sinister investment banks, eating buyers and sellers, and then pitting the buyers and sellers together.

Coincidentally, a few days after Xiao Qi's rebirth, Citibank announced the opening of its sixth branch in China in Rongcheng, and officially opened for business in December.

The business of foreign banks in China has not yet opened up channels. Except for foreign currency business, there is very little RMB business. Most of them are financial wealth management products. They cannot even absorb personal deposits, but at most corporate deposits.

This matter will not be turned around until the end of this year. At that time, as long as foreign banks are changed to companies registered in China, they can handle all RMB business and begin to absorb personal deposits.

When Xiao Qi came to Citibank Rongcheng on Zongfu Road, there were not many people handling business in the beautiful and splendid business hall. Three of the six counters were not opened, and several account managers were staying together with books. what to look at.

The management of foreign companies has always been very strict, especially the working hours, which are much stricter than those in China. Those lighthearted and pleasant work scenes in the movies are usually just evil to induce people. Don't take it seriously.

"welcome."

As usual, a female employee with glasses greeted her with a smile, "Excuse me, sir, what kind of business do you want to handle?"

"Is your general manager here?" Xiao Qi, who was wearing an Armani suit, asked with a smile.

Of course, in American, American English.

This kind of English with a strong accent on the western coast of the United States directly made the female staff stunned for a moment. She also graduated from college, so she could clearly hear this kind of colloquial language, which is impossible for someone who has lived abroad for a few years. come out.

Or they are directly Chinese.

"Sir, what did you say?" So she replied in English too.

"I'm looking for your president, please tell him that I have a big business that I want to talk to him about." Xiao Qi said slowly.

The female clerk finally understood, but shook her head: "Oh, sorry, sir, if you don't have an appointment, I can't help you inform him."

Xiao Qi looked at her sternly, "If he knew that you rejected the request of a potential diamond-level client, I don't think you would keep this job again."

"But……"

"If you can't decide, give him a call, I'll talk to him, and then he decides that he won't see me." Xiao Qi continued to pressure her.

"Please wait a moment."

The female staff immediately ran into a room, and within a few minutes, from the elevator upstairs, a jingling middle-aged man walked straight towards Xiao Qi.

"Hello, I'm Qu Liang, the vice president of Citibank. How can I help you?" The middle-aged man said it in pure American English.

Now that Citibank has just opened, it doesn't have much business, so it can still run into a vice president to handle affairs. If you wait a few years, you will be lucky to run into a manager.

Seeing that it was still Chinese, Xiao Qi was not angry, he smiled and said, "Mr. Qu has lived in Arizona?"

Not only did he recognize Qu Liang's accent, but Qu Liang immediately recognized his accent, with a wider smile on his face, "Southern California! Where are you from, sir? We are real neighbors!"

"Yeah, I lived there for seven years." Xiao Qi's face flashed with nostalgia, "Mr. Qu, I have a large amount of money, and I want to make some financial investments in Hong Kong through your bank, In order to ensure the privacy of the investment, please forgive me for not conversing in Chinese."

"clear!"

Qu Liang, who had looked at Xiao Qi for a long time, had already seen the Armani suits worth more than 30,000 yuan on him, and the authentic Vacheron Constantin on his wrist. It shows that people have the capital for this negotiation.

Coupled with the fact that the bank has just opened, Qu Liang is naturally happy to take over the business, lest the old men in the United States make irresponsible remarks.

"Okay, we can go to my office to talk, someone just happened to give me a bottle of Moapa wine, we can talk while drinking." Qu Liang invited with a smile.

"Please!"

Xiao Qi followed behind him, and the two took the elevator to the third floor.

Qu Liang's office is not big, and it is furnished in a rough American style, with a bit of randomness.

"Hehe, is that hat a prize from the cowboy competition in Dessert Center?" Xiao Qi looked at the round hat placed next to the bookcase and said in Chinese, "I can't believe that Mr. Qu is also a riding enthusiast. ."

"As expected of a man from Southern California, sir, he knows the competition in such a small place so well." Qu Liang opened the red wine and poured a glass of wine each, "I think it's better to be happy when you study, you can run anywhere! "

Xiao Qi nodded, clinking glasses and drinking a sip of red wine, and when he put the glass down, his face began to sneer, "Mr. Qu, I have three billion RMB in cash in my hand, and I want to entrust your bank to use secret channels in Hong Kong. Help me run it, may I ask?"

Qu Liang was already listening to him with a congregation, but he didn't even notice when he heard the words, "How much do you say...how much?"

"Three billion yuan, cash."

"You... what are you going to do? The state is very strict with financial controls. I'm afraid it won't work if you move too much!" Qu Liang said subconsciously.

Xiao Qi smiled calmly, "President Qu, we've all been to the United States, and if you think about it, you know what Wall Street's attitude towards the legal system of any country is. As a commercial bank that provides investment services, don't you think it's a bit strange to say this? Does it fit your identity?"

"Haha, I just said it smoothly." Qu Liang shrugged, apologized, and said, "It seems that you are right to ask the president, I really can't decide your affairs."

With that, he picked up the internal phone, called a man named Tony, reported it a little, and then put down the phone.

"Let's go, I'll take you to his place. Tony is also our neighbor. This guy is from Nevada." Inadvertently, Qu Liang revealed another message to Xiao Qi.

"Three shifts! The recommendation tickets of the strong men are very powerful! Thanks to fghfr and Zhang Zhangzhen for the recommendation of children's shoes. Then ask the brothers for more collections, recommendations, and rewards! 》
