In the eastern commercial center of Zhonghai City, which could be said to be the tip of the pyramid, the offices of the world's top 500 companies and various tycoons all gathered here.
This was different from the western downtown where the Yu Lei International Building was located. In this area, there were more financial institutions that symbolized wealth.
As the most important financial center of Hua Xia and one of the world's largest financial cities, there were very few well-known financial institutions in Zhonghai. There were only things that customers couldn't think of, but there was nothing that customers couldn't find.
And in this forest of reinforced concrete high-rise buildings, there was a dark yellow twenty-story building that looked quite old. At the very edge of the financial center, it stood quietly.
Compared to the other seventy to eighty story skyscrapers, this building was as small as a matchbox. It was not as eye-catching as anyone's eyes.
In the parking lot in front of this building, there were a few cars parked sparsely. There were even a few bicycles that were rarely seen in the city.
Compared to the other majestic and noble scenes, this place really was a bit shabby, a bit cold and cheerless, almost no guests entering.
However, at the entrance of this building, there were two white security guards standing upright. They were meticulously stationed at their posts, and their faces were full of pride.
This was a strange scene, but people who knew the truth wouldn't think there was anything wrong with this. There was only one reason – on the flower bed in front of the building, there was a piece of granite. On a black background, there were golden characters. There were three English words and three keys engraved on it. The three letters were: UBS.
If this English abbreviation was translated into Hua Xia, it would be the name of the world's most mysterious bank, "Swiss Bank".
No one could calculate how much assets the Swiss Bank had. No one could know how many priceless treasures it had preserved from the past to the present. No one would question its confidentiality, because it was the only one.
It was said that when a rich man went to the Swiss Bank to deposit, the staff asked him, "Sir, how much do you want to deposit?" The rich man very carefully whispered, "Five million USD."
The staff smiled generously and said, "Sir, you don't have to be so shy. Although everyone here is very rich, it's not your fault that you are poor."
Although it was just a joke, it was enough to prove how high the threshold of a Swiss bank was.
The Bank of Switzerland in Zhonghai was the headquarters of the Bank of Switzerland in Hua Xia District. However, it was precisely such an institution with an extraordinary background that had been quietly staying in such an inconspicuous small building, just like the headquarters of the CIA in Washington, USA. It did not match its reputation at all.
It just so happened that the UBS Bank had just opened in the morning. The morning light shone on the building, giving it a faint golden glow. It was lazy and intoxicating.
A red Bentley slowly stopped at the parking lot outside the building. When a security guard saw this, he politely got out of the car and waited for the owner to get out.
Lin Ruoxi carried a white Hermes shoulder bag and got out of the car elegantly. She looked at the Swiss bank that she had only been to once with a complicated expression.
"Dear Madam, please let me check your belongings." The security guard was slightly stunned by Lin Ruoxi's appearance, but he immediately carried out his duty politely.
Lin Ruoxi handed the bag to the security guard. She hated the various rules of the Bank of Switzerland. This was the reason why she did not come here again after opening an account to deposit money.
After the security check, he gestured for Lin Ruoxi to enter. Only then did Lin Ruoxi slowly walk up the stairs. When she arrived at the main entrance, the electronic device checked whether she had any metal objects on her body. When there was no reaction, she finally entered the building.
"Madam, what can I do for you?" A customer manager in the lobby walked in front of Lin Ruoxi and asked with a smile.
Because there were very few customers, every customer that entered the Bank of Switzerland would be accompanied by an individual to serve them.
Lin Ruoxi hesitated for a moment, but she still braced herself and said, "I would like to take a loan."
The customer manager was a delicate and pretty woman who looked to be in her thirties. She was originally amazed by the young woman in front of her who was outrageously beautiful, but after hearing Lin Ruoxi's words, her expression became a little strange.
"Madam, are you our customer?" The customer manager asked.
Lin Ruoxi nodded and rummaged through her purse. She took out a black credit card with silver lettering and said, "I have a deposit in a Swiss bank."
The customer manager was stunned for a moment. She naturally knew what this credit card meant. This was a VIP credit card with a deposit of 200 million USD. This young woman in front of her looked to be in her twenties, but she was actually a super-rich person with at least a billion Hua Xia dollars?!
The customer manager immediately became more respectful and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, madam. Perhaps you didn't understand clearly. We, the Swiss bank, do not handle loans. "
The manager was actually very confused. Why would a woman like this need a loan? If she wanted a loan, how much would she need? Ten billion?
Lin Ruoxi studied business administration and was well-read. How could she not know the simple common sense that Swiss banks could not lend money?
But … That man, he insisted that he could get a loan here!
Lin Ruoxi touched the inconspicuous ring on her middle finger that Yang Cheng had worn. It had a black jade-like luster, but it was made of metal. There were complicated patterns on it, and she could not understand what they meant.
In Lin Ruoxi's mind, the scene of her conversation with Yang Cheng in the resort in the early hours of the morning appeared …
"… Madam Lin Ruoxi, can you agree to my conditions?" Yang Cheng looked into the woman's eyes seriously and asked.
There were no fluctuations of emotion in Lin Ruoxi's eyes, as if the conditions that Yang Cheng had proposed were so insignificant.
After a long time, Lin Ruoxi asked, "If I agree, do you really have a way to make up for the 50 billion Hua Xia dollars needed for the counterattack?"
According to the precise calculations of the Athena team, if they wanted to defeat the well-prepared enemy after the Nasdaq opened tomorrow, they would need 50 billion Hua Xia dollars.
If it was during normal times, with the company's internal capital reserves and the bank's loans, it wouldn't be difficult to gather 50 billion. But now, the bank's connections had been blocked by some god, and the company was in dire need of money. Lin Ruoxi really could not think of a way to get 50 billion in a day.
"Although I often do things that make you angry, I have never lied to you, right?" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
Lin Ruoxi lowered her eyelids, her beautiful face that resembled a water lily had a tinge of bitterness and helplessness, but she still nodded and said, "I promise you, as long as you do what you say, I will also do as you say."
Yang Chen heaved a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but say, "I know this is cruel and unfair to you, but … I only need a year. If you can't accept it after a year, I'll give up."
"Tell me your plan!" Lin Ruoxi said coldly, as if she was not interested in listening to the deal that Yang Cheng was talking about.
Yang Cheng smiled, and took out a delicate but very simple ring from his pocket. He then held Lin Ruoxi's hand and slowly put the ring on Lin Ruoxi's middle finger.
"Don't misunderstand. This isn't a wedding ring, so it won't be on your ring finger." Winking at Lin Ruoxi, Yang Cheng smiled. "When we get married in the future, I will give you a diamond as a wedding ring."
Lin Ruoxi's face blushed. She nearly misunderstood him. She was still wondering why this man would give her such a ring, but it turned out that he didn't mean it that way.
"What's the use of this? Is it worth fifty billion? "Lin Ruoxi glared at Yang Chen in dissatisfaction, dispelling the awkwardness.
Shrugging his shoulders, Yang Cheng continued, "I can't say for sure how much it's worth. But if you take it to a Swiss bank, you can get 50 billion."
"Do you have any common sense? Swiss bank? Don't you know that Swiss bank doesn't have a loan business? "Lin Ruoxi was furious.
Yang Cheng smiled and said, "Don't be impatient. Of course, we don't have a normal loan business. However, there are special circumstances. Believe me, I won't joke with you. I know it's urgent. Besides, you can only believe me now, right? You have no other way to get money. "
Lin Ruoxi thought about it. It seemed that she could only believe in Yang Cheng's strange method. Looking at the ring on her hand, she sighed …
In the lobby of the bank, Lin Ruoxi's face changed. Finally, she raised her head and said to the account manager, "I know there's no loan business, but I have this."
Lin Ruoxi raised her hand and revealed the simple black metal ring on her hand.
"What is this?" The account manager was stunned. She couldn't understand the meaning of the beautiful woman in front of her.
Lin Ruoxi cursed Yang Cheng in her heart. Is he reliable?!
"I want to see your president," Lin Ruoxi said through gritted teeth.
The account manager smiled helplessly, "Miss, we really don't have a loan business. Although I don't know why you are so determined to get a loan here, you will be disappointed. Our president will give you the same answer. "
"I want to see your president," Lin Ruoxi didn't know how to explain. She could only continue to make requests.
The account manager had no choice. This was a big client that she couldn't afford to offend. After looking at the name on Lin Ruoxi's credit card, she walked to the phone and called the president's office.
"Mr. Stephen, there's a lady who wants to see you … She wants to get a loan … Yes, I told her, but she insisted on seeing you. Oh yes, she's our VIP … Um … Okay …"
Not long after, Stephen, who had just started work, decided to let the manager bring Lin Ruoxi to the office for a face-to-face talk.
Lin Ruoxi was relieved, but she was also a little worried. What if the president of the branch didn't recognize this strange ring? Did she have to meet the president of the UBS headquarters?!
Following the account manager to the top floor, they arrived at the door of the president's office. Lin Ruoxi took a deep breath and pulled herself together.
No matter what, she could only believe that man's words. She hoped that the little thing on her finger really had the magical function he said …
