Code Name: Flame

Chapter 52 The Stillman Family
Back at the bank, Quinn signed a silver purchase contract with Chen Jia, but the problem was the payment method.

Quinn suggested that Chen Jia open an account with Citibank. After the contract was executed, the Citigroup headquarters in the United States would wire the money over. Shanghai Citigroup would give Chen Jia a checkbook, and the transaction would be considered complete.

"Quinn, I want to build a factory in the United States, and the money will be invested in the construction of the pharmaceutical factory. In addition, I want to acquire shares in some companies, so I will go to the United States once. The money will be divided into two parts, one part will be operated according to what you said, Part of it stays in the U.S. for my investment.”

Quinn laughed out loud, "Dear Mister Lee, you don't need to be so troublesome. You can open a company in the United States and invest in the name of the company. By the way, I can also teach you how to reduce taxes. The account is opened at Citigroup, guaranteed Your funds are safe, trust me, Mister Lee. As for the pharmaceutical factory, your penicillin hasn’t been verified yet, so don’t think about it yet.”

Chen Jia couldn't explain clearly to him that this penicillin is a very common antibiotic drug in later generations, and the production process is also very simple.However, it is a matter of time before the Stillman family is tied to the chariot.

Now that the economy is in the Great Depression, the Stillman family is having a hard time.After disposing of my silver dollars, it can only be considered a drop in the bucket for their family.Therefore, there will be a lot of opportunities for cooperation in the future, don't worry, let the bullets fly for a while.

In the end, the two agreed to settle the money and the goods on the spot, open an account with Citibank for Chen Jia, and then the two went to pick up the goods in person at the dock warehouse.In order to prevent Chen Jia from cheating, Quinn went to the warehouse with Chen Jia to inspect the goods with the bank armed.

Before going to the warehouse, Chen Jia made a special call to the warehouse and told them that the sale was completed and that the goods in the warehouse belonged to Americans, so when seeing Americans coming to the warehouse, don’t ask, don’t worry about it, just open the warehouse and let them in, and then Go home on your own.

Yamada didn't dare to ask, the young master has been a bit mysterious recently, although he was curious, he still didn't dare to mess around, lest he spoil the young master's good deeds.

When they arrived at the warehouse, the subordinates guarding the warehouse did not pay any attention, and opened the warehouse directly to let them in.

Chen Jia and Quinn drove everyone out of the warehouse, and then Quinn pointed out three boxes at random. Chen Jia opened them with a crowbar, and rolls of silver dollars lay quietly inside. stunned.The boxes were piled up like a mountain, not only making Quinn feel dazed.

"Mister Lee, what on earth are you doing?"

Chen Jia looked at him with a smile, "Kuin, my identity is very special, and I will explain it to you in detail later."

Quinn was a little worried, and climbed to the innermost part and pried open a few boxes. There was no problem, and they were full of silver dollars.There are 640 pieces per roll, [-] rolls per box, [-] boxes in total.

"Mr. Quinn, 640 boxes. Based on the exchange rate of 1.29 and the silver content of 0.73, it should be 340 US dollars. Seeing that you and I will have more cooperation in the future, I will count 310 Fifty thousand dollars."

Quinn suddenly smiled slyly, "Mister Lee, this shipment is from the Orleans, right? You brought someone to snatch it?"

Chen Jia sat down on the silver dollar box with a cloth cushion, "What Orleans? I don't understand."

Quinn sat down next to him, laughed and said, "The Orleans returned to Shanghai last night. I don't know the details, but the American consul is a good friend of mine. He told me about it early this morning. The Orleans has been robbed by robbers, and Diners Club and several other American firms may go bankrupt.”

"Perhaps what you don't know is that the buyer of this batch of silver dollars is actually our Citibank US head office, or we are also one of the buyers. Have you heard of the Federal Reserve? We are one of the shareholders, and this batch of silver dollars is What the Fed buys."

"I heard that the largest shareholders are Morgan and Rockefeller, and you are one of the eight major shareholders. And I heard that your family is having a hard time recently. If you vote for me, it won't make your family rich, right?"

Under the dim light, Quinn's face was a little embarrassing, "To tell you the truth, we are really having a hard time now. Your vote will make us happy for a day or two at most."

Chen Jia patted him on the shoulder with a sympathetic look on his face: "How long will it take to go bankrupt? Next year or the year after? The Rockefeller Foundation is immoral and ran away. Are you going to hug Morgan's thigh now? Although you are interested in penicillin this afternoon, But it is still not enough attention. Cooperating with me to open a factory in the United States can ensure that your family can survive the crisis safely. I also have a magic medicine in my hand. If it is put into production, your family can become the top consortium family in the United States."

"Mister Li, you are so poor that you rely on robbery to live. It is not certain whether penicillin is good or not. My uncle is the one who decides in the family, so I don't know very well. But don't worry, I will ship this batch of goods in two batches and try my best to Get rid of the traces, and you can just collect the money with peace of mind."

Quinn stood up and patted Chen Jia on the back, laughed and said, "I really want to see Hansen's face at Diners & Co., hahahaha, this guy has Rockefeller on his back, oh God, I can't wait Going to see him cry like a bitch."

"Okay, you can call the bank now. My money must arrive immediately." Chen Jia interrupted Quinn's meaningless obsession. Although Hansen from Diners Club is not a good person, don't you, Quinn That's it?

"OK, no problem."

Quinn walked to the phone, called the bank, and told the bank the final amount.After putting down the phone, he smiled and said, "Your money will arrive in half an hour. But you can only withdraw up to 400 million US dollars in China, and the rest is in the US head office. It will take three months to arrive in Shanghai."

Citibank has its own telegraph machine, so after the telegram arrives in the United States, the United States can handle the matter, and the telegram comes back after processing, and the funds will be in place.

Quinn is a little proud. More than 2000 million US dollars is a huge sum of money for Citibank, and they can also get a lot of money through this transaction. This is Quinn's achievement.As for whether it was a robbery or not, the head office of the United States doesn't care about it. They have a lot of ways to make this matter disappear.

The two chatted nonsense for a while, the phone rang, and the bank informed that the money had been credited.After Chen Jia called again to confirm that it was correct, he patted his butt, "Be careful how you deal with it later, I'm leaving, and I'll come back to you in a few days. Mr. Quinn, don't think I'm joking, cooperate with me , to ensure that the Stillman family can become the top family in the United States."

"Oh, my friend, thank you for your friendship. I also hope that it can be as you said. Don't worry, the warehouse has been kept by our bank now, and I will take care of the rest."

Chen Jia walked out of the warehouse and did not go home, but called a rickshaw and went directly to Sima Road.After getting out of the car, he walked around a few streets before arriving at the entrance of Xie Keqiang's clinic.

After knocking on the door, after a while, there were footsteps inside.

"Who?"

"Doctor, I suddenly have a stomachache. I'm sorry to bother you at such a late hour."

Inside, the door bolt was pulled open, and a face poked out, but it was Li Ge.

Li Ge also saw the person in front of him clearly through the streetlight, and couldn't help being startled, "Mr. Li, please come in."

Chen Jia stepped in, and Li Ge was about to poke his head out to see what was going on outside, but was pulled back by Chen Jia, "What are you looking at? Do you want to see if you can close the door and look out through the crack of the door? Are there normal people like you? "

Li Ge's face became hot when he was told, and he quickly closed the door.

"Come in and talk, it's so late, is there anything urgent?" The one who spoke was Xie Keqiang who came out of the room.

The two went inside, Wang Ruishu went out, and closed the door behind him.

"What's wrong? Something happened?"

Chen Jia picked up the teapot and poured it into his mouth. When he was satisfied, he wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "It's not because I'm afraid of long nights and dreams, so I quickly disposed of the goods."

As he spoke, he took out a pen and checkbook, scribbled on it with a digital signature and his name, and tore it off and handed it to Xie Keqiang, "For $100 million, you can go to Citibank to withdraw money tomorrow, don't withdraw cash, I only have 200 million The amount, let’s remit the money. Remember to transfer the remittance by account number and bank, and all accounts will be canceled after remittance. Although the possibility of Citibank being checked is extremely small, there are also fears of insiders.”

Xie Keqiang took the check and looked at it under the light for a long time. He was very excited, but he couldn't figure out that the 100 million US dollars was just this piece of paper?
No wonder he, the vast majority of Chinese people do not know about checks, so it is normal to have doubts.

"A check is not money, it is a bank certificate. However, in the future, if you can use a check for large amounts of money, try not to use it. Now that the world is in chaos, some people will take the risk and write a bad check."

Xie Keqiang still looked confused, Chen Jia didn't explain, got up and said: "In a few days, a batch of goods will be delivered to you, which is a good medicine for rescuing the wounded. This is how to use the medicine. You send it out through another channel. The manual cannot use one channel at the same time."

After saying these words, Chen Jia went out without stopping.

Xie Keqiang carefully put the check into his bag, then picked up the instructions and took a look. The instructions for penicillin were indeed a medicine for trauma.

It felt so unreal for a moment, just as Wang Ruishu walked in, stretched out his hand and pinched him, Wang Ruishu jumped up in pain.

Mom, it's really not a dream.

　I hope that everyone will not be stingy with the recommendation tickets in their hands and give a lot of support.
