Tim informing Chen Zhao about the firearms was actually to draw a clear line between them.
It didn't matter if it was attacking a military base or robbing a bank.
It had nothing to do with Chen Zhao.
However, Tim knew that Chen Zhao had gotten involved in the gangs mainly because it affected his personal life.
Chen Zhao didn't like the chaotic Los Angeles.
This was also the reason why Tim and Body tried their best to restrict the gang's actions after they took control of the LA gangs.
They didn't want them to continue disturbing the peace.
With their control, the effect was very obvious.
The crime rate in Los Angeles plummeted.
Obviously, Tim and Bodie were guarding their own little plot of land.
They weren't good people, but they weren't robbing people on the streets either.
Their buying was worse than robbing people on the streets.
However, it wasn't something that ordinary people could feel.
Chen Zhao didn't want all the gangs to disappear.
He just needed a world of light that he couldn't see.
Robbing a bank was clearly a very bad and bad thing.
Tim naturally needed to draw a clear line between them.
Chen Zhao thought about it. It probably had nothing to do with him.
However, Amelia was still a friend and a business partner.
After hanging up with Tim, Chen Zhao picked up Amira's phone.
"Amira, how have you been?"
"Nothing good, nothing bad. What's up? Do you need a loan? I can offer you the lowest interest rate. "Amira's professional habit.
This was Amira's professional habit, even though she knew that Chen Zhao probably had more cash than the bank.
This meant that Chen Zhao couldn't be attacked at all.
Most capitalists had a certain debt ratio.
Even their personal assets like cars, houses, and yachts weren't enough, not to mention their companies.
Most of the time, they would buy with loans.
Even if they had enough money, they would still choose to buy with loans.
This was because they needed to keep more cash for investment or reserve.
This was a special rule given by this era.
Therefore, most listed companies would have a certain percentage of shares in the hands of banks.
But Chen Zhao was different. Other than the 5% shares of Mountain Beer that he'd sold to Amira, he hadn't mortgaged any shares.
Moreover, the 5% was owned by Amira, not the bank.
Chen Zhao didn't owe the bank any money. Instead, it was his cash. He was currently Amira's biggest cash customer.
If Chen Zhao had to withdraw all the money one day, Amira would probably lose his position as the manager of the branch.
It could be said that Chen Zhao's current assets could already affect the bank's decision-making power, even if it was indirectly.
To effectively manage and invest Chen Zhao's cash, the bank even set up an investment management team led by Andrews to help Chen Zhao manage the cash.
"I'm here to tell you something." Chen Zhao was not interested in Amira's promotion at all.
As the old saying went, he could just deposit his money in the bank and earn interest.
He signed a contract with the bank, and the guaranteed annual interest rate of the money was 2.2%. At the same time, the bank was responsible for the investment, and the 30% profit that exceeded the annual interest rate belonged to the bank and the investment team. If the annual interest rate was lower than the annual interest rate, the bank would have to make up for the shortfall.
"What news?" Amelia became serious.
After all, with Chen Zhao's current status, everything he said and did was to be taken seriously.
Moreover, the word 'inform' would make Amira think of something bad.
"I received news that a group of people in Los Angeles recently bought a large amount of firearms. Their target is unknown."
Amira furrowed her brows. "I see."
Actually, Amira heaved a sigh of relief.
As long as Chen Zhao didn't want to transfer the money out, everything would be fine.
How much cash did Chen Zhao have now?
It was to the extent that they could destroy a bank.
For example, she was in charge of Citibank in Los Angeles.
Chen Zhao would deposit the money in, and the bank would use it for investment.
If Chen Zhao wanted to withdraw the money now, the bank definitely wouldn't be able to.
Even if he asked the head office to transfer the money, the head office might not be able to.
Then, he could only borrow from other banks, which wouldn't just pay the normal interest rate.
With high interest rates, it was easy for problems to occur. That was the principle of one small move affecting the whole body.
Once the news of Citibank's funds having problems spread, it would cause a financial shock or even an earthquake.
This was Chen Zhao's current strength.
Compared to what Amira was afraid of, robbing a bank was child's play.
Robbing a bank was just child's play.
Even if the robbers went to the Los Angeles headquarters, how much could they rob?
Apart from the success rate, how much cash would the bank have for them to rob?
Thirty years ago, a successful bank robbery might be able to rob hundreds of millions of dollars.
But in this era, both banks and individuals were about to completely get rid of paper money.
Even banks rarely kept paper money. They only had a small amount as liquid reserves.
According to the branch Amira was in charge of, they only had a few tens of millions of paper money in reserve.
The value of the bank's assets was hundreds or even thousands of times that of the paper money.
However, most of these assets were real estate, such as houses, cars, yachts, planes, and stocks.
Robbers couldn't rob these things.
So, Amira wasn't worried about robbing a bank at all.
Of course, she still had to take precautions.
"Thank you for your reminder. I'll take precautions."
Amira took Chen Zhao's information very seriously.
If a bank robbery really succeeded, it would be very disadvantageous for the bank.
It wasn't about how much money the robbers took, but the distrust of the depositors, which would lead to a run on the bank.
The next day, Amira strengthened the bank's defenses.
At noon, there was a moving hot dog cart outside the plaza of Citibank's headquarters in Irvine.
There were two employees. One was in charge of the cashier, and the other was in charge of making hot dogs and snacks.
"Herm, I realized that if our plan doesn't succeed, we can switch to selling hot dogs."
"Ha … The money from selling hot dogs isn't enough for our experiment. If we don't complete the immortality experiment, we won't be able to survive. Johnson, do you want to rot like this?"
Ningtai Johnson was silent for a moment. "I don't want to," he said. "I haven't lived long enough, especially since this era is much more interesting than the Middle Ages."
Just then, two modified commercial cars stopped in front of the bank. Twenty fully-armed people alighted from the cars.
"Has information about our operation been leaked?"
"How is that possible? Only the two of us know. Do you think it's me or you?"
