The Rebirth of the Financial Hegemon

Inside Wells Fargo Bank.

Andy Smith was lost for a moment.

One billion… dollars.

He somewhat doubted whether he heard correctly.

"Sir, are you saying that you want to buy one billion US dollars of national debt?"

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

Even if he knew it was rude.

But with a figure like one billion US dollars, he no longer cares about so much.

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

Except for large hedge funds and banks, few people can spend so much money.

Even in global terms, one billion US dollars is not a small amount.

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

Under 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 he had.

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

If it were placed in the United States twenty years later, Smith would probably not have this reaction.

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

this…..

Without any choice.

Zhao Jiangchuan had no choice but to repeat it.

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

"Gulu" sound.

Smith swallowed.

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

That's a billion dollars.

Being able to receive such customers and leave a little impression will benefit the bank and his own career a lot.

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

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

Smith bent down, stretched out his hand and made the highest standard guidance gesture towards Zhao Jiangchuan.

"Dear Sir, please come with me this way."

The banker's dislike of poverty and love of wealth 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 of high quality.

Elegant environment, leather sofas, soft carpets.

In addition to being greeted by a dedicated bank manager, there is also fragrant coffee.

As a distinguished guest, Zhao Jiangchuan only had to sit and enjoy the coffee while waiting for the bank manager to deliver the materials and sign them.

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

The secondary market for U.S. Treasury bonds is the most liquid market in the global financial market, and its transactions are open 24 hours a day.

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

Many dealers make markets in the Treasury market, primarily primary dealers.

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

In addition to direct transactions with customers, primary dealers also conduct frequent transactions with each other.

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

There is no need to wait in line, and there are dedicated staff to handle it, so naturally it won't waste too much time.

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

One-stop butler service.

This is why Wells Fargo can become the largest commercial bank in the United States.

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

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

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

Smith held a silver-white card in his hands.

It's not paper or gold-plated, but a real platinum card with several sparkling diamonds inlaid around it.

This kind of diamond card is carefully made by Wells Fargo Bank, so that it can be sent out when needed.

But unfortunately, Wells Fargo can only send out no more than 100 cards globally every year.

Of course, it’s not that it can’t be sent out.

The card itself is worth a lot, not to mention the credit limit of 10 million US dollars. In addition, it is a symbol of status.

Countless people dream of owning a platinum card like this.

So to be precise, there are too few people who are qualified to give out bank cards from Wells Fargo.

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 he could cheat by sending out such a diamond-level card, Smith would get a lot of commission.

The service attitude of banks is always reflected in value.

The same is true for George King of Standard Chartered, and the same is true for Andy Smith now.

Zhao Jiangchuan knew very well why Smith's attitude was so humble.

But since I have enjoyed the services provided by others, it makes no sense not to give them some benefits.

Amidst Smith's flattery and flattery, Zhao Jiangchuan took the card and then threw it to Ouyang Lan beside him.

Ouyang Lan deserves to be called a money-lover.

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

The color of diamonds and platinum on it made her crescent eyes squint.

Now that I got the card, I immediately held it in my hand like a treasure.

The little money fan had a smile on his face.

If there wasn't someone else present, she would have hugged Zhao Jiangchuan and kissed him.

This card can provide an overdraft of 10 million US dollars.

How much delicious food and drinks should I buy?

If I were to buy chicken drumsticks, I'm afraid I would have to buy as many as a truckload.

Ouyang Lan's eyes narrowed as she thought of the delicious chicken legs.

When Ouyang Lan smiled like a flower, Smith also breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as he gives the card away, his tens of thousands of dollars in commissions are gone.

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

Under Andy Smith's continuous thanks, Zhao Jiangchuan and his team got up and left Wells Fargo Bank.

Until they disappeared from sight, Smith still maintained the most sincere smile on his face.

On Fifth Avenue.

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

In addition to the clinging posture of a bird, it also chirps like a bird.

"Boss, that person said that this card can allow a credit overdraft of 10 million US dollars. Is that true?"

"Um."

"Why is he so stupid? Isn't he afraid that we will take all the money and hide him?"

"……."

Zhao Jiangchuan was speechless.

Walking from Wells Fargo to Fifth Avenue, Ouyang Lan was as dumb as a lark.

Every question asked was so idiotic.

What made Zhao Jiangchuan even more speechless was that Ouyang Lan had a strong thirst for knowledge.

We will never give up until we get to the bottom of the casserole.

"Boss, tell me, it's 10 million US dollars, but it's almost 100 million. They're not afraid that we won't come back after we return to China."

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

"Little money addict, why are you so money obsessed."

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