Chapter 240 Deposit
As we all know, the job that bank clerks hate the most is the change storage business in the lobby. It is like chewing wax and there is too much work to do.
But if you want more money and other businesses, then he will treat you like a master, and some will even be willing to accompany you. Those who understand will understand.
When Hou Xiaoge said that he was an investment immigrant and needed their bank's help in handling the relevant business, the receptionist drooled like a crocodile.
"Please sit here, sir. I'll pour you a cup of coffee first." The receptionist immediately led Hou Xiaoge to the VIP lounge area and then ran to find the business manager.
"Hello, sir. I am Reagan, the business manager of JPMorgan Chase Bank in the Los Angeles District. What should I call you?"
Hou Xiaoge had just sat down and picked up a pornographic magazine when a gentlemanly white man in his forties wearing glasses, who looked successful in his career, came over with a folder and said hello.
"Hello, Manager Reagan, you can call me by my English name, David." Hou Xiaoge smiled and extended his hand.
"Mr. David, you have a strong London accent. Have you ever been to England?" Reagan's eyes lit up and he smiled tentatively.
Before World War II, although America had a strong economy, it was always outside the circle of world politics and was still John Bull's little brother.
So these days, as long as you can speak English with a London accent, you will immediately be superior and respected in America.
Hou Xiaoge smiled and nodded, then pretended to be cool by talking about John Bull's famous buildings and some special snacks. During the conversation, he also spoke a few words in French and said that he had also been to the romantic country.
These extraordinary words made Reagan feel more confident that this person was worth making friends with, and it would be even better if he could provide more money for investment immigration.
The two chatted for a while, and Hou Xiaoge didn't delay and directly took out thirty stacks of US dollars, five stacks of British pounds, and a lot of francs and other currencies from other countries from his bag.
These currencies are only less than one-tenth of what Hou Xiaoge took out of his space. Although these few transactions with no capital were a bit tiring, it was really profitable!
"Oh my god! Mr. David, you put so much money in just a backpack. It's really bold." Reagan was excited when he saw the coffee table piled with banknotes.
"Del, where is Mr. David's coffee? Where have you been?" Seeing that Hou Xiaoge's lips were a little dry, Reagan shouted outside.
"I'm sorry, Manager Reagan and Mr. David. There was a problem with the water heater just now. I went to the office next door to fix it." The receptionist came over sweating profusely with two cups of coffee on a tray.
When I saw the table full of money, I was very excited and thought to myself that my performance for this month was stable.
"Thank you, Mr. Del, your coffee is great." Hou Xiaoge took the coffee, took out a knife and handed it to the other party and said with a smile.
"Thank you very much for your generosity, Mr. David." Del put his day's meal money into his pocket with a smile on his face.
The average annual salary in America at that time was one thousand dollars, while a soldier's annual salary was only a pitiful six hundred dollars.
So even though Hou Xiaoge only gave one dollar, it was equivalent to a quarter of the white-collar receptionist's daily salary.
Think about going to a restaurant to eat, the waiter earns two hundred a day, and you give him a fifty tip. See if he is happy.
"Hey! You impetuous young man, go get the money counter and serve Mr. David." Manager Reagan saw that Hou Xiaoge had a very friendly attitude and said the same thing.
"Okay, please wait!" Del reacted quickly and ran away.
The British pound is almost four times the size of the US dollar, so this amount of money is quite a lot. After counting, the total amount was calculated to be US$530,000.
In this age when America still values millionaires, more than half a million is already a huge sum, enough to buy ten fighter jets.
A decent car only costs one thousand US dollars, and you can buy more than 500 cars with more than 500,000 US dollars, which can be said to be a real small rich man.
"Mr. David, you must have just arrived in America! We at JPMorgan Chase have our own channels to help you with matters such as applying for a residence card.
And you said you want to invest, which industry do you prefer?" Reagan asked with a smile.
“I’m in the medical industry, so I want to invest in a pharmaceutical company.
Of course, you also know that we Chinese people love land.
Therefore, I would like to entrust JPMorgan Chase to help me purchase a farm, preferably for farming and grazing.
Also, the area should be larger, and as close to Los Angeles as possible." Hou Xiaoge said with a smile.
"Okay, but Mr. David, land near Los Angeles is not cheap now. An acre costs seventy to one hundred and twenty dollars.
You said it needs to be big, at least more than 3,000 acres, so the scale of the acquired pharmaceutical company will be very small.
Besides, you forgot that you need a property, of course you want a farm, just ignore what I said." Reagan analyzed with a smile.
When Hou Xiaoge heard Reagan say that a land of at least three thousand acres was considered large, the corners of his mouth twitched. This kind of land is good when it is big. One acre of land is equal to six mu of land!
These three thousand acres are the minimum, which is equivalent to nearly 20,000 acres in the country. This is definitely a super landlord.
However, for the Chinese people who are obsessed with land, they like this and will buy more land in the future under the guise of white people. After all, the land price is not expensive now.
"Manager Reagan, as for a house, please help me find an estate near Los Angeles. Five acres will be enough.
Of course, the money to buy a house may not be enough, but my assets should be able to be mortgaged, right?" Hou Xiaoge asked with a smile.
"Of course, we at JPMorgan Chase like to work with clients who have high-quality assets." Reagan smiled even more brightly. This was another business.
"Manager Reagan, I hope you can handle these matters as soon as possible.
This cooperation can be said to be a test of you personally. If this cooperation is pleasant, today's cooperation is just the tip of the iceberg.
I have my own transport ships and planes in China, and a batch of goods will arrive in America soon. If the cooperation is satisfactory, this commission will be handled by you." Hou Xiaoge said while painting a pie in the sky.
"Oh! Mr. David, I didn't expect you to be an international businessman. Don't worry, I will definitely help you get things done even if it means sacrificing my rest time." Reagan exclaimed excitedly.
"Haha! Manager Reagan, I wish us a pleasant cooperation.
I will be staying at the Fulin Restaurant in Chinatown recently. If you have any questions, you can call them." Hou Xiaoge smiled and left the JPMorgan Chase Bank with the deposit slip and check.
