Zhu Yu picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp, then picked up the teapot and poured a cup, smiling and explaining to Zhong Wuqiang:
"I went out for a run, and the barbecue I ate at the farm was a bit salty, so I'm thirsty."
"Mr. Zhu has a leisurely life." Zhong Wuqiang's eyes were full of envy, and then he asked curiously:
"I would like to ask, Mr. Zhu, in which bank do you deposit your money?"
"Me? Swiss Bank, there are several established banks such as HSBC in the United States."
Zhong Wuqiang suddenly realized that no wonder Zhu Yu still had money to bid for and buy his own antiques.
"But at that time, banks like Silicon Valley had greater discounts on deposits." Zhong Wuqiang still has an answer. Normally, aren't they all following the bank's favorable policies?
The more you save, the more you earn!
Zhu Yu waved his hand:
"For a treasure hunter like me, stability is the last word. As for the bank's preferential policies, they really don't appeal to me much."
Zhong Wuqiang was envious, but he couldn't say much at this time.
"Mr. Zhong, let's have dinner together?"
"No, no." Zhong Wuqiang had been waiting for Zhu Yu to take the initiative, but Zhu Yu refused and never said anything to him again, but he became anxious and said again:
"Mr. Zhu, about the bank deposit certificate..."
"Mr. Zhong, actually you can wait a little longer." Zhu Yu waved his hand, "What do you think, if such a big bank goes bankrupt, America must be responsible, right? It's impossible for so many deposits to be wasted, right?"
"It can only be a waste of time." Zhong Wuqiang looked frustrated, "Mr. Zhu, did you know? Today there is another news that another bank in the United States has also gone bankrupt... This time, maybe it's the same as Lingba Just like when Lehman went bankrupt in 2016... the United States doesn’t have any spare money!”
"Then what are you going to do?" Zhu Yu took another sip of tea. He was really thirsty. "Didn't you find a way to cash out the money first?"
"Haha, relationship, haha!" Zhong Wuqiang's expression looked like crying and laughing at the same time, "The relationship in the past was as strong as that of brothers.
When something really happened, he didn't even say hello when we met, he stepped on the accelerator and left, for fear that I would lend him money! "
Zhu Yu smiled and said nothing.
Birds of a feather flock together. Very normal.
What kind of friends can someone like you make?
"...So, Mr. Zhu, please give me a hand. Think of it as helping a compatriot. I have brought all the deposit certificate information. As long as you take over, these will be yours..."
Zhong Wuqiang placed the document bag on the table.
Zhu Yu took a look and said slowly:
"Mr. Zhong, actually you also know. The bank is bankrupt, and this deposit certificate..."
"It may not be useful here. I believe that with your ability, Mr. Zhu, this thing should still be useful... I really have no other way..."
"Don't regret it?" Zhu Yu patted the stack of information gently, "What if I can pay the full amount in the future?"
"I can't wait, I can't wait until then." Zhong Wuqiang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Even if I can really pay, it's yours. If I'm willing to trade, then I admit it."
Zhu Yu thought for a while:
"Okay, one million, if you think it's okay, I'll take it."
"Thank you, thank you so much!" Zhong Wuqiang originally thought it was only the US$500,000 Zhu Yu mentioned before, but he didn't expect it to be increased to one million US dollars. What an unexpected surprise!
Zhu Yu thought to himself, this million should come from the five million you took out.
None of Zhu Yu wanted the remaining four million, and his final plan was to donate it to the China Hope Project and the Red Cross.
After leaving Zhu Yu's villa, Zhong Wuqiang got into his car.
His bodyguard and cousin asked while driving:
"Brother, did he accept it?"
"Stop it." The bitter smile on Zhong Wuqiang's face disappeared, "What a fool. Once I played him, he really believed it. But such a person can make friends."
"Brother, could it be that he tricked you?" My cousin knew the reason why his cousin was short of money now.
"Probably not." Zhong Wuqiang believed his eyes, "This Zhu Yu is too young and does not have such a palace. If he really did it, there will definitely be clues. But no."
"Then can we..." My cousin suddenly thought of an idea, "Brother, do many of your friends have such deposit certificates? Can we..."
Zhong Wuqiang’s eyes lit up!
What an idea!
Some people have started selling their properties at low prices because of this.
By doing this yourself, not only will you receive a wave of gratitude, but you will also make some money from it!
He immediately called Zhu Yu and told the matter again.
Zhu Yu didn't expect that Zhong Wuqiang would make a fuss about this.
He was also stunned for a moment. Zhong Wuqiang over there thought he was in trouble and immediately said:
"Mr. Zhu, just think of it as charity. If you do this, everyone will be grateful to you. It doesn't need to be much, as long as it is a little more than their insurance amount, our compatriots will be satisfied!"
Insured CDs can pay up to $250,000, but many people who save money are not insured at all.
Therefore, in Zhong Wuqiang's view, this transaction only makes a profit but not a loss.
"Okay. A sheep can be herded, and a group of sheep can be driven, so we are compatriots." Zhu Yu sighed and "reluctantly" agreed.
Zhong Wuqiang hung up the phone and laughed happily: "This idiot actually agreed!"
"Brother, we will definitely make a fortune this time!" My cousin also knows a little about these things, "There are quite a few people in your circle who have deposit certificates like this! There are several companies with hundreds of millions of dollars! "
"Who says it's not the case?" Zhong Wuqiang sighed, "Who would have thought that those hundreds of millions of dollars are now only worth tens or even millions..."
Although he said this, he actually didn't have much emotion.
Almost all of this money is brought out through illegal means or gray income.
It came too quickly, so I didn’t really cherish it.
The reason why Zhong Wuqiang was sure that these people would take out the certificates of deposit was mainly due to a series of reactions after the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in 2008. All the money deposited in Lehman Brothers Bank at that time was wasted.
The United States has such a tradition, and capitalism itself is like this, so I blame myself for having a bad vision, coveting some preferential policies, and insisting on being in this bank.
In two days, Zhong Wuqiang collected certificates of deposit from 17 companies, totaling more than 400 million U.S. dollars, and obtained more than 10 million U.S. dollars from Zhu Yu.
In addition to the promised amount to those 17 companies, Zhong Wuqiang made a net profit of five million US dollars.
Laughter woke everyone up.
He hurriedly paid taxes on the money, and the remaining money should be used to buy things, and it was time to withdraw it.
He already had a deep distrust of banks.
With the money, Zhong Wuqiang hired a new female assistant and got out of bed that night.
Early the next morning, Zhong Wuqiang was woken up by a phone call.
"Zhong Wuqiang, you bastard! Give me back my deposit certificate...I'll give you the money. I regret this transaction!"
The caller was a businessman in the circle who was involved in real estate and had escaped early with the pre-sale money. Now he doesn't dare to go back. The people who live in the unfinished building are still suing him everywhere.
He had more than 20 million U.S. dollars in Silicon Valley Bank, but this time the deposit certificate was in vain, so he had no choice but to get back 800,000 U.S. dollars from Zhong Wuqiang.
Originally he was content, but now the new news makes him unable to sit still!
Zhong Wuqiang still looked confused:
"Mr. Feng, what do you mean? Why did you regret it? The deal has been established. Do you think you can get an unconditional refund within seven days if you buy something from Xixi in China?
At that time, like my grandson, you took the initiative to ask me to sell deposit certificates, right? "
Feng Weihua was furious for a moment, but now that more than 20 million was involved, how could he really be dismissed by Zhong Wuqiang with just a few words? Zhong Wuqiang said this, and he believed that the other party had known the news for a long time and had lied to him!
"Zhong, you just say you won't pay it back? I'm telling you, if you don't give me the deposit certificate, I will come to your house and break down the door!"
"Are you coming?" Zhong Wuqiang was not scared. Now that he has money, money can only make people brave. He said simply, "I have several guns in the gun cabinet at home. I'm waiting for you!"
"You...Brother Zhong, you can't do this! It's my fault. I apologize to you, but you can give me half...how about 10 million? I don't want the remaining 10 million, okay?" "
Zhong Wuqiang still didn't understand what it meant, but he was happy when he heard Feng Weihua's words:
"Mr. Feng, are you still awake from your dream? The bank is bankrupt, who will give you 20 million?"
"Mr. Zhong, haven't you read the news?" Feng Weihua heard that Zhong Wuqiang seemed to know nothing. "The United States has officially announced that it will provide a large amount of funds to Silicon Valley Bank to ensure that depositors can withdraw their money."
"What?" Zhong Wu stood up forcefully, revealing a body of white flesh and an indescribable little thing. He couldn't care about it anymore, "Old Feng, is this impossible? Did you hear it from the gossip?"
"How could it be a rumor? This was announced in the news! There are already a large number of people queuing up to withdraw money at Silicon Valley Bank!"
"Really?" Zhong Wuqiang ignored Feng Weihua, hung up the phone, immediately turned on his mobile phone to search, and turned on the TV at the same time.
This was explosive news, so many TV stations were broadcasting it. Soon, Zhong Wuqiang saw the news he was looking for.
After watching the news broadcast, Zhong Wuqiang sat slumped on the sofa.
Five hundred million!
Five hundred million dollars!
He took the initiative to deliver it to Zhu Yu in such a casual manner!
I got more than 10 million in exchange from him, and I distributed several million to myself, and I was still very proud of it!
I also called Zhu Yu a fool many times in private. After being persuaded by others, he took out his money and squandered it as soon as he put on his hat.
"Big idiot - I am the fucking big idiot..." Zhong Wuqiang was sitting on the sofa, and his female assistant had also come out of the bedroom. Looking at him mumbling to himself, he was thinking, could it be this guy? ,crazy?
At this time, Zhu Yu had obtained all the information about Zhong Wuqiang.
This guy committed a serious crime in the country and escaped.
There are only a dozen lives involved!
For this kind of person, Zhu Yu, there will be no soft-heartedness or pity at all!
"Don't worry, we used blunt knives to cut the flesh to make him hurt." Zhu Yu pointed at the TV and said, "Now the second knife is coming. I think Zhong Wuqiang will call him soon."
Within two minutes, the phone rang.
Zhong Wuqiang.
Zhu Yu smiled and picked up the phone.
Zhong Wuqiang called Zhu Yu with the intention of questioning. He even imagined that Zhu Yu might not dare to answer his call at all.
After all, no matter how you look at it, Zhu Yu's side should be in the wrong.
However, the call was quickly connected, and Zhu Yu's voice didn't change at all!
How could he? How dare he? Why is he embarrassed?
With this in mind, Zhong Wuqiang's tone was a little stiff:
"Mr. Zhu, aren't you going to give me an explanation?"
He had some luck in his heart. If Zhu Yu really gave an explanation, even if three melons and two dates leaked out of his hand, he would be happy for the rest of his life!
The requirements are not high, as long as you can get your deposit certificate back!
"What explanation?" Zhu Yu pretended to be surprised, "Mr. Zhong, what did you say? Oh, you saw the news in the morning, right?"
"Yes! Mr. Zhu is so calculating! With just one move, Mr. Zhu made 500 million US dollars! This is... such a huge amount of money! How many people can't make so much money in a lifetime, or even in ten lifetimes!"
"It's my luck." Zhu Yu smiled and did not deny it. "Otherwise, how could you take the initiative to send the money to me?"
"I..." After hearing this, Zhong Wuqiang was so angry that he almost vomited blood, "Mr. Zhu's joke is not funny!"
"I'm not joking." Zhu Yu said with seriousness and sincerity, "Old Zhong, think about it, two days ago, could you have imagined the situation today? At that time, you had a lot of deposit certificates, whoever you gave them would exchange them for one thousand Ten thousand U.S. dollars?"
Zhong Wuqiang was speechless.
"Also, Lao Zhong, you can't just see me making money. In fact, I was thinking about doing charity at the time. I took out the money with no intention of getting it back.
However, God may not see that I am so kind, so he repays it to me. "
Zhong Wuqiang felt that Zhu Yu was so thick-skinned!
Even I, in a different place, can't say such words!
"Mr. Zhu, you have made money and gained a reputation. Can you... give me back my deposit certificate? I will give you one million back, no, two million..."
Zhong Wuqiang's idea is very simple. Zhu Yu has made so much and doesn't care about his little money.
"Old Zhong, what are you thinking about?" Zhu Yu smiled, "Favours are favors, and transactions are transactions. This matter is a thing of the past, so don't think about it!"
"Mr. Zhu, you can't do this!" Seeing that his money was really wasted, Zhong Wuqiang became tough:
"If I let out the news that you are the person behind the scenes, think about how many people will come to you! There are some people you can't afford to offend!"
"Haha, I'm so scared!" Zhu Yu sneered:
"Zhong Wuqiang, why didn't you tell the people at Silicon Valley Bank about your tough attitude? When the other party declared bankruptcy and stopped withdrawing money, you didn't even give a damn, right?
"Do you think I am a good person, so you can speak loudly to me? Who gave you the courage? Miss Liang? Do you have the courage?
I annoy you the most, you bastards! When you meet a bad person, you don't dare to let go of anything. You take out all your money and kneel down to beg for mercy.
When you meet a good person who helps you, you dare to be tough and yell at your benefactor at the top of your lungs!
What is the difference between your character and the traitors of 40 years ago? He was as soft as an egg to the Japanese, and used all his strength on his own people.
**thing! You should still worry about yourself and think about whether the master behind those large deposit certificates will rip you off! Run away early! "
After saying that, Zhu Yu hung up the phone.
