Chapter 218 Strange request
Jacob Logan is 35 years old and graduated from the famous Berkeley University in California. After graduation, he successfully joined Citibank, the largest bank in the United States.
Jacob Logan, who had just entered society, was once full of energy. In his opinion, with the knowledge he learned in school, he would definitely be able to achieve outstanding results in his job and eventually become a senior manager of the largest bank in the United States.
However, there is always an insurmountable gap between dreams and reality. Jacob, who was once very outstanding in school, only realized after entering society that the campus and society were different, and very different.
Everything you learn in school cannot be said to be unusable in society, but there are very few things that can be used, which makes Jacob more confused.
Especially when working in an extremely cruel company like Citibank, the hardships in which Jacob never imagined were never imagined.
The financial industry is the pillar of the United States' economy, so the cruelty of competition in this industry is unimaginable to outsiders. Although employment in this industry can certainly allow you to earn wealth that ordinary people cannot reach, you will also pay very, very much.
Because this industry only requires elites. Anyone who cannot adapt to competition in this industry, no matter how outstanding you are before, will inevitably be ruthlessly eliminated.
Jacob was the group of people who were almost eliminated. However, although Jacob had a bad fate, he had a very good character, that is, he was not willing to admit defeat.
It is precisely because of his personality that he finally stayed in this industry, but like most people, he became one of the accumulated personnel in this bank.
In an absolutely pyramid-type enterprise like Citibank, everyone is an elite, but there are only a few people who can really stand at the top of the pyramid. This not only requires you to have enough professional knowledge, but also requires you to have extremely clever communication skills and ability to deal with things. Of course, you also need a little luck...
Jacob Logan's professional knowledge is unquestionable. The master's degree in economics at Berkeley, California, is definitely not a false reputation. Moreover, Jacob, who was once the main backbone of two clubs in the school, never lacked social skills and ability to deal with things. But what he lacked was a vague luck, so it took him ten years from graduation to now. He had only become a junior private account manager at 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 the client, this client is also a Chinese who just came to San Francisco from China.
When Jacob saw that the client had three million dollars in his capital account, he already understood what the purpose of this new Chinese man came to the United States.
Eight out of ten.99 came for immigration!
I have been together in this bank for ten years, and although I have not been promoted because of a little luck, Mr. Jacob Logan has already developed a pair of golden eyes.
He has encountered many such situations before.
As the only superpower in the world, the United States has always been a paradise envied by many developing countries. Anyone with a little ability or wealth in these developing countries can't wait to immigrate to the great United States of America.
But is the great United States of America the one who can easily immigrate?
If the US economic growth rate was the fastest in the 1990s, it might be easier to apply for investment immigration. After all, the US economic growth rate was very high at that time. The White House guys who were in corpse and were also fond of green cards. As a result, in those years, more than 120,000 green cards were issued by the Immigration Bureau every year. As for illegal immigration, I don’t know how many of them are.
But with the bursting of the Internet economic bubble at the turn of the century, the 9/11 incident and the subprime mortgage crisis that occurred in 2008, the US economy fell into a quagmire.
If the economy is not strong, the guys in the White House naturally cannot issue green cards as unscrupulously as before. Therefore, in recent years, the Immigration Bureau has only issued 60,000 green cards to the public on average every year.
The economy itself is not strong and employment will be sluggish. If there are more immigrants fighting with American citizens for jobs, would you still want to take a seat in the White House?
It is precisely because of this situation that even if there is the "American Immigration Naturalization Act", now, let alone the investment of $500,000, even a $1 million investment, it is hard to say whether it can pass the review of the Immigration Bureau guys.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to immigrate to the United States through investment.
Jacob has experienced many such customers in the past ten years, and only a few of them were lucky enough to pass the Immigration Bureau's review and got a green card. When most of the customers first arrived, they had a lot of US dollars in their bank cards, the few were 600,000 or 700,000 or 1 or 2 million or 1 or 2 million. But in the end, most of these customers disappeared.
Either he went home after going home, or he secretly stayed and became a shameful illegal immigrant.
Jacob Logan even maliciously thought that most of the people from the country on the other side of the ocean should have stayed secretly.
It’s strange to say that these people are very tight. You said you let your country live a good life, but you have to go to the United States to live a secret and stubborn life. Why is this?
Do you really think this kind of life is better? There is no insurance, no housing, and even a bank card cannot be processed. Do you think you are living a frustrated life?
To be honest, Jacob Logan despises such a person very much. He insists on running to the other side of the ocean to be a dog. Why do such a person live?
Now, another one comes! Don’t think that you can easily win the favor of those guys from the Immigration Bureau by bringing three million dollars in funds.
Don’t you know that as more and more foreigners come to the United States to apply for green cards over the years, the guys from the Immigration Bureau have become very clever and clever? In addition, the immigration investment fraud cases that broke out in California two years ago have made the guys from the Immigration Bureau widen their eyes. Even if something is wrong with you, those guys will drive you back without hesitation.
Jacob Logan has begun to observe silence for his newly added client.
But early that morning, when Jacob Logan worked in his office seat, two young Chinese came up directly.
After one of the slightly taller young men took out a green card, they made a proposal that made Jacob both embarrassed and a little thrilling.
"Mr. Logan, can I find a secluded office? As your client, I now have some more private businesses that need to be entrusted to you. Oh, by the way, I am Albert Young."
The client made a request. As Jacob Logan, who has always regarded "the customer is God" as the motto of sharing the same journey, he was very happy to find a quiet office for both parties. The young man who followed Albert and Yang turned around and left, and then, Jacob Logan, who had only two people left, heard one of his strange requests since he started working.
"Mr. Logan, as my account manager, you must know how much money I have in my account now?"
Jacob Logan nodded, and he was also wondering that just three days ago, this customer who had not made any noise suddenly had a huge amount of up to 30 million US dollars on the books.
The sudden extra funds came from the country on the other side of the ocean. Jacob Logan was also very strange. If there were no American green card, it would be impossible for people to get so much money from the country on the other side of the ocean. Although China on the other side of the ocean's economic growth rate has made the whole world jealous of the world over the years, that country is still very strict in the management of foreign exchange. Such a large amount of money is simply impossible to transfer to the United States through official channels.
But this happened just like that.
Jacob Logan, who had been puzzled for three days, realized now that this customer who had only been in the United States for half a month had obtained a green card without realizing it...
Could it be...Is this customer the legendary kind of person... But he is so young, he doesn't look like that kind of person no matter how he looks, well, he must be the descendant of that kind of person!
If there is anything that can explain this magical thing, then it is not the legendary descendant of naked officials. Only this identity can give a satisfactory explanation of this unreasonable everything.
Jacob Logan, who was suspicious, heard the Albert Young say, "Mr. Logan, I need you to help me turn all the money in my account into cash! And I have a special requirement, that is, the version of these cash should be before 1976! Mr. Logan, I know my request is a bit unreasonable, but if you can help me handle this business, I can only collect 30 million US dollars in cash on my account, and the remaining money can be your reward as your reward!"
"Well, I know this requirement is a bit weird, but I don't have any requirements for the dollar cash I need except for the issue date, other aspects such as new and old."
This Albert Young's words immediately made Jacob Logan feel his tailbone numbness, and a heat flow instantly rushed from his tailbone into his brain along his spine.
After being stunned for a long time, he swallowed his saliva with difficulty. Jacob Logan asked slowly, "Mr. Yang, are all what you said true? As long as I get the 30 million US dollars of cash before the 1976 version for you, will you take the remaining 2.68 million US dollars in your account as my reward?"
Yang Jing smiled and snapped his fingers, and said with great certainty: "Yes, Mr. Logan, you heard it right. As long as you can get so much cash for me as I ask, I will keep my word."
After receiving Yang Jing's affirmative answer, Jacob Logan immediately realized that the little luck he had been waiting for for a long time suddenly came to him!
Although Albert Yang's request was strange, Jacob Logan, a person who had worked for Citibank for ten years, did not think this was a difficult thing. Whether it was the small front-page US dollar bill issued from 1928 to 1995, the large front-page US dollar bill issued from 1996 to 2008, or the colored US dollar bill that was only issued for a short time, they have been circulating on the market. Although most of the US dollar circulating in circulating after the New Century, there are still many US dollars circulating on the market in the 1960s and 1970s.
Not to mention anything else, Jacob Logan knew very well that in the underground vault of this bank, there were about 70 million dollars in old versions of cash, most of which were issued before the 1980s, all of which were 100-dollar bills.
Because in 2013, the new version of the 100-dollar bill began to be issued, major banks are now starting to recycle the previous version of the 100-dollar bill. The 70 million US dollars of 100-dollar bills were recovered under this situation.
The recovered 100-dollar bills were originally sent to the Federal Reserve Bank for new versions of the bills when they were raised to raise 100 million US dollars, but now the customer has made such a request. If he applies for it himself, he will probably be able to exchange the 100-dollar bills recovered from the vault.
What struck Jacob Logan the most was the reward of up to $2.68 million!
That's $2.68 million, not $268,000, not $26,800! If this young man can really fulfill his promise, he will transform himself into a veritable millionaire. Even if he doesn't work for the rest of his life, with this money, he can completely immigrate to Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands or the Cayman Islands, and take his family to spend his life carefree.
What? You say you donate tax? Just kidding! My buddy has been working in the banking industry for ten years and wants to transfer the $2.68 million quietly. Not to mention the damn guys from the IRS, even if the CIA takes action, it will not be able to find out!
Are you really that easy to talk to as Swiss banks?
I worked hard in this bank for ten years, but I only earned a salary of less than 100,000 US dollars a year!
And if you can get this reward, it would be equivalent to working in this bank for 27 years without eating or drinking!
His sister, I’m over 60 years old after 27 years! And now with this money, that’s a big deal!
As long as you have this money, many of the previous ideas can be realized slowly! With this money as a foundation, relying on your own financial knowledge, doing anything is much more profitable than working hard here!
Do it! Why not do it!
After gritting his teeth, Jacob Logan said with certainty: "Mr. Yang, please give me two days. I will send this cash to the place you designated!"
Chapter completed!
