Chapter 218 The Strange Request
Chapter 218 The Strange Request
Jacob Logan is 35 years old this year. He graduated from the famous University of California, Berkeley. After graduation, he successfully joined Citibank, the largest bank in the United States.
Jacob Logan, who has just stepped into the society, used to be high-spirited. In his opinion, with the knowledge he learned in school, he will be able to achieve outstanding results in his job and eventually become a senior executive of the largest bank in the United States. .
However, there is always an insurmountable gap between dreams and reality.Jacob, who was once very good in school, discovered after entering the society that the campus and society are different, very different.
It cannot be said that everything learned in school cannot be used in society, but there are very few things that can be really used, which makes Jacob a lot more confused.
Especially working in a company like Citibank, which is extremely competitive, the hardships are beyond Jacob's imagination.
The financial industry is the economic pillar of the United States, so the cruelty of competition in this industry is unimaginable to outsiders.Employment in this industry will allow you to earn wealth beyond the reach of ordinary people, but at the same time, you will pay a lot.
Because this industry only needs elites, anyone who cannot adapt to the competition in this industry will be ruthlessly eliminated no matter how good you were before.
Jacob was one of those people who was almost eliminated.However, although Jacob was a bit unlucky, he had a very good character, that is, he refused to admit defeat.
It was precisely because of his character that he stayed in this industry in the end, but likewise, like the vast majority of people, he became one of the depositors in this bank.
In an absolute pyramid-shaped enterprise like Citibank, everyone is an elite, but there are only a handful of people who can really stand at the top of the pyramid. This not only requires you to have sufficient professional knowledge, but also requires you to have extremely good communication skills Twist and skill, and of course, a little luck.
Jacob Logan's expertise is unquestionable, and UC Berkeley's master's in economics is certainly not in vain.Moreover, Jacob, who was once the main backbone of the two clubs at school, has never lacked in communication skills and ability to handle affairs.But what he lacks is that sliver of illusory luck, so it has been ten years since he graduated, and he has only got a junior personal account manager in the San Francisco branch of Citibank.
More than half a month ago, Mr. Jacob Logan had an additional client, a new client. According to the personal information provided by this client, this client is still a person who just came to San Francisco from Huaxia. Chinese people.
When Jacob saw that the client's fund account had an extra 300 million US dollars, he already understood the purpose of this newcomer from China to come to the United States.
Eighty to nine times out of ten it is for immigrants!
I have been working in this bank for ten years. Although I have not been promoted because of a little bit of luck, Mr. Jacob Logan has long cultivated a sharp eye.
He has encountered many such situations before.
As the only superpower in the world, the United States has always been the envied paradise of many developing countries. As long as the residents of these developing countries have a little ability or wealth, they can't wait to immigrate to the great United States of America.
However, is the great United States of America the one that can easily immigrate?
If it was in the 90s of the last century when the U.S. economy was growing the fastest, it might have been easier to apply for investment immigration at that time. After all, the U.S. economy was growing at a high rate at that time, and the guys in the White House liked to issue green cards randomly. As a result, in those few years, an average of more than 12 green cards were issued by the guys from the Immigration Bureau every year. As for the number of illegal immigrants, I don’t know how many.
However, with the bursting of the Internet economic bubble at the turn of the century, the 911/08 incident and the subprime mortgage crisis in [-], the US economy fell into a quagmire.
The economy is not strong enough, and those guys in the White House can't issue green cards as brazenly as before. Therefore, the Immigration Bureau has only issued an average of [-] green cards each year in recent years.
The economy itself is weak, and employment is sluggish. If more immigrants compete with American citizens for jobs, do you still want to sit in the White House?
It is precisely because of this situation that even if there is the "U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Act", let alone an investment of 50 U.S. dollars, even if it is an investment of 100 million U.S. dollars, whether it can pass the review of the guys from the Immigration Bureau Hard to say.
It is becoming more and more difficult to immigrate to the United States through investment.
Jacob has experienced many such clients in the past ten years, and only a few of them were lucky enough to pass the review of the Immigration Bureau and get a green card. Most of the clients first came to their bank. There were quite a few US dollars in the cards, ranging from 70 million to 200 million, but in the end, most of these customers disappeared.
Either they went back home, or they stayed secretly and became a shameful illegal immigrant.
Jacob Logan even thought maliciously that most of those people from that country on the other side of the ocean should have secretly stayed behind.
Speaking of which, these people are also strangely tight. You said that you let your own country live a good life, but you insisted on going to the United States to live that kind of sneaky life. Why is this?
Do you really think this kind of life is easy?There is no insurance, no housing, and even a bank card cannot be processed. Do you think you are struggling with life?
To be honest, Jacob Logan despises such people very much.Why do such people live if they insist on running to the other side of the ocean to be a dog instead of being their own master?
No, here comes another one!Don't think that you can easily win the favor of the guys from the Immigration Bureau if you bring $300 million in funds.
Don't you know that as more and more foreigners come to the United States to apply for green cards these years, the appetite of the guys at the Immigration Bureau has become very tricky?Coupled with the immigrant investment fraud case that broke out in California two years ago, the guys at the immigration bureau stared wide-eyed, even if you have something wrong, those guys will unceremoniously drive you back.
Jacob Logan has already begun to mourn in his heart for his new client.
But early in the morning, when Jacob Logan was working on his desk, two young Chinese came directly to him.
After one of the taller young men took out a green card, he made a proposal that made Jacob feel both embarrassed and a little irritated.
"Mr. Logan, can you find a secluded office? As your client, I need to entrust you with some more private business. Oh, by the way, I am Albert Yang."
The client made a request. As Jacob Logan, who has always taken "the client is God" as his motto, he found a quiet office for both parties very readily.The young man who came with Albert Yang turned around and left, and then Jacob Logan, who was left alone with two people, heard the most bizarre request since he started his career.
"Mr. Logan, as my account manager, you must know how much money I have in my account now?"
Jacob Logan nodded. He was also wondering that just three days ago, this client, who had been quiet before, suddenly had a huge amount of as much as 3000 million US dollars on his account.
The sudden extra funds came from the country on the other side of the ocean. Jacob Logan is also very strange. If a person does not have an American green card, it is impossible to get so much money from the country on the other side of the ocean. of.Although China's economic growth rate on the other side of the ocean has made the whole world jealous, the country's foreign exchange management is still very strict. It is impossible for such a large amount of money to be transferred to the United States through official channels.
Unfortunately, this kind of thing just happened.
Jacob Logan, who has been wondering for three days, now understands that this client who has only been in the United States for half a month has obtained a green card without knowing it
Could it be that this client is the kind of person in the legend? But he is so young, he doesn't look like that kind of person, um, he must be a descendant of that kind of person!
If there is anything that can explain this miraculous thing, it must be the offspring of the legendary naked official.Only with this identity can a satisfactory explanation be given to all this irrationality.
Jacob Logan, who was being suspicious, heard that Albert Yang say: "Mr. Logan, I need you to help me turn all the money in my account into cash! And I have a special The request, that is, the version of these cash is preferably the version before 1976! Mr. Logan, I know that this request of mine is a bit unreasonable, but if you can help me with this business, the three dollars on my account With more than two million dollars, I can only accept 200 million dollars in cash, and the rest of the money can be your remuneration and all belong to you!"
"Well, I know this request is a bit weird, but I don't have any requirements for the US dollar cash I need, except for the date of issue, and other aspects such as new and old."
What Albert Yang said immediately made Jacob Logan feel his tailbone go numb, and a hot current rushed along his spine from his tailbone to his brain in an instant.
After being stunned for a long time and swallowing hard, Jacob Logan asked bluntly: "Mr. Yang, is what you said true? As long as I settle the $3000 million 1976 The cash before the version, you take the remaining 260 million US dollars in your account as my reward?"
Yang Jing snapped his fingers with a smile, and then said with certainty: "Yes, Mr. Logan, you heard me right. As long as you can get me as much cash as I asked, then I will keep my word." .”
After getting Yang Jing's affirmative answer, Jacob Logan immediately realized that the little bit of luck that he had been waiting for for a long time suddenly came to him!
Although this Albert Yangti's request is very strange, as a person who has worked in Citibank for ten years, Jacob Logan doesn't think it is such a difficult thing to do.Whether it's the small-front dollar bills issued from 1928 to 1995, the large-front dollar bills from 1996 to 2008, or the colorful version of the dollar bills that have just been issued, they have always been on the market. Circulation, although most of the U.S. dollars in circulation today are U.S. dollars issued after the new century, there are still many U.S. dollars issued in the 70s and [-]s circulating on the market.
Among other things, Jacob Logan is very clear that in the underground vault of this bank, there are about 7000 million US dollars of old-style cash stored. dollar bills.
Because in 2013, a new version of the hundred-dollar bill was issued, so now major banks are beginning to recall the previous version of the hundred-dollar bill.The $7000 million hundred-dollar bills were recovered under such circumstances.
These withdrawn hundred-dollar bills were originally intended to be sent to the Federal Reserve Bank in exchange for a new version of banknotes when the total of [-] million U.S. dollars was collected, but now this customer has made such a request. The recovered hundred-dollar bills were exchanged.
What moved Jacob Logan the most was the reward of 268 million US dollars!
That's $268 million, not 26.8, not 2.68!If this young man can really fulfill his promise, then he will become a veritable millionaire.Even if you don't work for the rest of your life, with this money, you can immigrate to Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands or the Cayman Islands, and lead your family to live your life carefree.
What?You said gift tax?joke!My buddy has been working in the banking industry for ten years, and he wants to transfer the $268 million quietly, not to mention the damn guys from the IRS, even the CIA can't find out!
Do you really think Swiss banks are so talkative?
I worked hard in this bank for ten years, but what I got in return was a salary of less than one hundred thousand dollars a year!
And if he could get this remuneration, it would be equivalent to working in this bank for 27 years without eating or drinking!
His sister, I will be over 27 years old in 60 years!And now that he has this money, what a waste of money!
As long as I have this money, many of my previous ideas can be slowly realized!And with this money as a basis, relying on my financial knowledge, I can earn more by doing anything casually than working hard here!
Dry!Why not!
Gritting his teeth, Jacob Logan said with certainty: "Mr. Yang, please give me two days, and I will send the cash to the place you designated!"
Yang Jing chuckled, stretched out his hand to hold Jacob Logan's hand, shook it vigorously and said, "I look forward to the success of this cooperation!"
