Chapter 465 464. Punishment Measures (3)
Ball's Hummer is a seven-seater, so five people can all sit in his car.
****Bank is one of the largest financial service institutions in the United States, with total assets of 2.5 trillion U.S. dollars and total deposits of 1.5 trillion U.S. dollars, accounting for 25% of the total U.S. deposits. It has more than 6,000 branches, and of course there is a bank in Flagstaff.
Bohr drove to the bank quickly. After getting off the car, five people walked into the bank. It was already close to get off work time, and there were not many people in the bank.
A white man who was joking with the teller greeted them when he saw them, and said, "Hello, gentlemen, do you have any business needs?"
Ma Cheng showed him his work ID and said, "Hello, we are appraisers of Christie's Group. The group has signed a cooperation agreement with your bank, and we can store precious auction items in your place for free."
The white man looked at his work ID card, went to the counter, took a notebook and tapped it a few times, nodded and said: "Okay, I've confirmed my identity, wait a moment, this business is managed by our treasury department, I will notify them supervisor."
When he left, he didn't take the laptop with him. York probed to have a look. On the left side of the computer page was the logo of ****, on the right was the logo of Christie's, and in the middle was Ma Cheng's information.
There are photos of Ma Cheng, work permit number, job information, etc., which are very detailed.
Boer also wanted to see it. At this time, Du Dayuan opened the suitcase and said with a sigh of relief: "I can finally feel at ease. I have been in a panic all day long."
The suitcase opens to reveal a beautiful ruby and associated jewelry inside.
Footsteps sounded on the stairs, and a middle-aged white man in a **** work suit walked down behind the white young man who received them earlier.
Ma Cheng shook hands with him, and the middle-aged man re-read his profile, and also checked other people's profiles.
The information of Du Dayuan and Ding Xiaofeng was the same as that of Ma Cheng. Why didn't Boer introduce them? Ma Cheng said they were their clients and friends.
So the middle-aged man said: "Then, for privacy protection, the three of you can go with me to handle storage business, these two gentlemen can't go in, I'm sorry."
Ma Cheng waved his hand and said, "Teacher Du, you can handle it yourself. Teacher Ding and I will chat with our friends."
Du Dayuan said cautiously: "Mr. Supervisor, please show me your work certificate. I need to verify it."
The middle-aged white man smiled, took a brand name from the shirt inside the suit and gave it to him.
Du Dayuan took the sign and went to the counter, then chatted with the teller inside, and pointed to the middle-aged white man.
The teller smiled and nodded, Du Dayuan thanked her and returned.
After the two parties left the hall, Ma Cheng said, "Frank, let's wait outside. The air-conditioning in the bank is too strong, and I can't stand it."
Ball said, "Sure, man."
Not long after leaving the bank, Du Dayuan came back and said: "****'s storage business is the most professional and safest I have ever seen. They have stored rubies in the vault, which is absolutely safe."
At this time Ma Cheng said: "By the way, Frank, where are your things stored?"
Ball said, "It's in the First Financial Bank, not far from here."
The white supervisor who sent Du Dayuan out laughed and said, "First Financial Bank? I don't intend to insult them, but to be honest, their insurance business is not reliable, you have to be careful."
Compared to ****, a monster with 2.5 trillion assets, First Financial Bank is a small bank, a private bank, with assets of only about 7 billion U.S. dollars.
Ma Cheng said: "In that case, Frank, why don't you consider changing your business to ****?"
Ball smiled and said, "Our cooperation with First Financial Bank is also good, and to be honest, their storage business is cheaper."
Du Dayuan gave him a wink, then leaned over and whispered: "You can deposit it in, and it will be regarded as our company's lot."
Boer likes to take advantage, he was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Is it possible?"
Du Dayuan said: "No problem, just sign an agreement and say that you want to entrust us to conduct the auction."
Hearing that the agreement was to be signed, Boer was a little hesitant. Seeing this, Du Dayuan continued: "This agreement will not be enforced, and there is no need to pay any deposit. If you want to take it out in the future, just say that you don't want to entrust us to conduct an auction. Free storage."
York became vigilant and said, "Du, you guys are a little too nice to us. Once your company finds out about such side-balling, I'm afraid it will have a bad impact on you."
Ma Cheng said with a smile: "No, this is actually a method for us, a method to make good partners. Even if the company finds out, it doesn't matter. You are excellent treasure hunters, and you are also the partners we are striving for."
Bohr nodded and said, "So that's the case."
The middle-aged white man looked at his watch and said, "If you want to store in, please hurry up, we are going to get off work soon, otherwise you have to come back to handle business tomorrow."
After discussing with York, Boer drove to the First Financial Bank and took out a large box.
The box was quite heavy, and the two security guards worked together to lift it into the trunk of the car.
During the period, the three of Ma Cheng went to the toilet or drank a drink, which took some time, so when they returned to the **** bank, they were almost off work.
An escort vehicle with the **** bank logo was parked at the back door, and the supervisor took them directly to the back door and said, "Let's do the identification first, and then just put your goods in the car."
"Why put it in the car?" Bohr questioned.
The supervisor laughed: "Because our storage room is in the vault, but the vault is not here. This is to prevent someone from coming to the bank to rob and rob our vault."
Pole and York felt that this was not quite right, and the latter went to ask a bank clerk who was smoking at the door of the bank very vigilantly.
After hearing his question, the staff member nodded and said, "Yes, what Director Leonard said is true, our vault is not here."
In this way, the two of them are relieved.
Afterwards, there were photos, valuations, and various signatures. The storage business was finally completed, the car left, and the five people packed up the agreement and left the bank.
They went back to the camp and the party had already started.
Seeing their eyes lit up, Li Du came up to pull the horse with his left hand and turned Lapole with his right hand, and said, "Guys, where have you been? You are so anxious that no one can find you, damn it, come and drink!"
Ma Cheng laughed and said: "We went for a walk and did some private business. I'm sorry, but we kept everyone waiting for a long time. According to our Chinese rules, we will punish you with three glasses of wine!"
Li Du smiled and said, "Okay, it's refreshing, but it's not enough to punish you with three glasses of wine. I have prepared very severe punishment measures for you."
"What punishment?" Ma Cheng asked.
Li Du smiled without saying a word, his smile was very meaningful.
