In the afternoon, Li Du and Brother Wolf got out of a taxi and entered the Los Angeles branch of the Bank of America.
They took a number from the machine and waited. The counter called the number. Then Li Du walked over, handed over the pale gold card, and said, "Hello, I would like to check the balance."
The staff at the counter smiled and said, "Sir, checking the balance can be done on the ATM … Oh, sorry, okay, okay, I will check it for you."
Halfway through his sentence, he saw the card and suddenly shivered. He quickly took the card with both hands and at the same time turned around and said something.
He quickly operated on the computer and said to Li Du, "Please enter the password."
Li Du said, "This card should not have a password."
The staff member looked at him in a daze. His eyes were a little sluggish as he stared at him.
Li Du explained again, "This card should not have a password."
The staff nodded and said, "Yes, sir, it does not have a password. Its, its balance is, yes, yes, if I am not wrong, then it is 410.5 million dollars … God!"
At the end of his sentence, he could not help but groan.
Although they had seen a lot of money in the bank, that was the general ledger. No matter how high the amount was, they were mentally prepared and would not feel too shocked.
Li Du's card was different. This was a personal card. As long as there were millions or tens of millions of deposits in it, the staff at the counter would not be responsible for it. This was a VIP customer, and there was a special person responsible for it.
Seeing that there was so much money in the card he was responsible for, the staff was confused. With his position, there was no way he could come into contact with such a customer!
Moreover, he had never come into contact with so much money. For these ordinary workers, they did not even have a fraction of this money, let alone have it.
After confirming the amount in the card, Li Du temporarily calmed down a little.
At first, he did not believe it. It was a little impossible for Tang Chaoyang to take out a card and transfer hundreds of millions of dollars into the bank.
There might be such a plot in TV shows and movies, but in real life, it was not easy for the major banks to mobilize more than 400 million US dollars. They needed a series of procedures to complete it, and one of the procedures was even related to the National Ministry of Finance.
Li Du had met many rich people. Cole made money, and as long as the amount was more than 10 million dollars, it would take at least half an hour for the account to be transferred.
Tang Chaoyang transferred 40 million US dollars into his account almost instantaneously.
Tang Chaoyang and Godzilla were still in his hotel room. Big Quinn and Godzilla were guarding the door to keep an eye on them. According to the agreement, they could only leave after Li Du had completed the transfer of the bank card.
After confirming the amount in the bank card, Li Du was about to ask how to transfer the money when, under the guidance of the lobby manager, a middle-aged white man in his fifties hurried over.
This white man was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. His hair was neatly combed, and his footsteps were quick but not messy. It was obvious that he was someone who could control the situation.
The two of them walked up to Li Du. The middle-aged man extended his hand to Li Du and said, "Hello, Mr. Li?"
Li Du was stunned and said, "Hello, how do you know my surname?"
The middle-aged white man smiled and said, "We received a call from the head office. They gave us your general information and asked us to help you with the settlement of this palladium card. Please follow me."
The palladium card was one of the top bank cards in the world. Li Du had heard of it, but had never seen it. When Tang Chaoyang gave him the card, he did not think about it.
When he got the card, there was only the name and logo of the bank on it. Everything else was blank, and he could not tell what it was.
He only knew that the card was made of metal, but he did not expect it to be made of palladium and 23k gold. Palladium was a very rare and precious metal. Together with gold, the card itself was extremely valuable!
The palladium card was a credit card and could also be used as a savings card. In the upper class of the United States, this card was a business card, a stepping stone.
Some people said that a palladium card with a palladium card could knock on the door of the White House. This was an exaggeration, but it showed how powerful the palladium card was.
As the world's top bank card, the palladium card was very strict in screening customers. It had to have at least 25 million US dollars of liquid capital. Yes, the requirement was liquid capital, not total assets.
There were many people with total assets of 25 million US dollars, but it was not easy to reach this amount of liquid capital. So far, there were only about 5,000 such cards in the world.
Li Du was not an American. He had a study visa that Sophie's parents had applied for for him. Later, Cole helped him apply for a green card.
The middle-aged man was the general manager of the bank. His name was Birkins. After seeing Li Du's green card, he asked enthusiastically, "Mr. Li, do you want to change your nationality? Our bank can help you with that. "
The reason why the palladium card was so powerful was that having this card meant that one could have some of the power of the bank. The bank could help with anything.
Li Du shook his head. He felt that it was good to keep his Chinese citizenship.
Birkins personally handled the paperwork for him. Li Du only needed to provide identification and sign.
Finally, the card was wrapped in an exquisite box and sent to him.
Unlike before, this time there were many numbers and letters on the card. However, it was not like ordinary plastic credit cards, which were only displayed in uneven fonts. Instead, it was laser engraved on the card.
Li Du's name was on it. Birkins gave him the card wrapped in a crystal box and told him some information about the card, such as the annual fee of 595 US dollars and the number on the back of the card if he had any questions.
The number on the back of each palladium card was different. It meant that the bank had a dedicated service person for the customer, who would provide all kinds of services 24 hours a day.
Of course, the most important thing was the money in the card. There were more than 400 million US dollars in it. Birkins asked carefully if he could deposit the money in their branch.
Li Du indicated that there was no problem. Burkins went to operate it for him and was very happy.
Knowing that Li Du had taken a taxi, Birkins quickly went to find a Bentley and said, "As long as you are in Los Angeles, you can use this car at any time. Also, thank you again, Mr. Li, for trusting our bank. Thank you very much! "
Li Du left the bank and carefully went to the Wells Fargo bank next door. He checked the balance on the Wells Fargo ATM again.
It was indeed 410.5 million US dollars. There was no problem with the money!
There was a security equipment store next to the bank. Li Du thought about it and went in to buy a few bottles of pepper spray, a high-voltage electric baton, a stun gun, and other tools. These things could be used in the city for self-defense. With his current wealth, he had to be prepared for a rainy day and be careful not to be targeted.
