Chapter 45

In Chicago, the news that William Dever boarded the plane had reached Li Zitao's ears. After hanging up the phone, Li Zitao got up from his seat and said, "Jessie."

“BOSS。” Jesse, wearing small heels, ran in and was about to kick the leg of the table. Her toe naturally crossed the S-shape, avoiding the nightmare of kissing again.

"Accompany me to the party tonight. Sanier has something to do." Looking up and down at the cute golden hair, Li Zitao rubbed his chin and asked, "do you have the right clothes?"

"Ah?" With a dazed blink, Jesse thought for a long time, tilted her head and said, "is the dress on the graduation party OK?"

“……” Li Zitao has been completely desperate, how blind he was at the beginning, would agree to let her stay.

"Go, I'll take you to buy clothes." It takes five hours from New York to Chicago, and a proper dress is more than enough.

Looking at her long, casual blonde hair, she said, "do another hair."

Originally, he was looking for sanier. Compared with this confused secretary, sanier, who is capable, shrewd and full of mature femininity, is more suitable for tonight's dance partner.

Unfortunately, these two days are just the end of the harvest season. The whole think tank is busy working together, and sanier can't be born at all.

After a mile, Li Zitao found that he came here more and more times. In a short month, he had come here for the fourth time.

This is not in line with the positioning of salted fish. I'm afraid it's too fast to drink water and inflate?

After getting out of the car, the whole row of luxury stores on both sides of the road dazzled Jesse, and the whole person was in a sleepwalking state.

You know, any shop here, any clothes, bags, jewelry, are enough to offset her annual salary.

"Hurry up, you have to..." Li Zitao habitually raised his hand, and only when he saw his bare wrist did he remember that he had spent 800 yuan to buy the high imitation A-goods in his previous life, and Patek Philippe had long been gone.

"Wait for me there later." Pointing to the coffee shop on the opposite side, Li Zitao took out a metal card from his pocket and handed it to Jesse. Then he turned to the opposite side.

He is going to buy a pocket watch or a wristwatch. Wristwatches in this era are not very popular. Aristocrats and men stubbornly believe that wristwatches are worn by women. That kind of thin band and light clock is not enough to show their identity and nobility.

“???” Jesse, who was left in the same place, looked at the metal card in his hand, shivering in the cold wind.

Ding Ling ~ ~

"can I help you, madam?" Behind him, the high-end lady's dress shop opened the door, elegant, just like a lady's owner said with a smile.

With a quick nod, Jesse, who was completely confused about the situation, was pulled into the store by this kind-hearted woman.

"What kind of clothes do you need? We can make them for you, but It may take some time and you can also choose from these clothes.

these clothes are all from famous Paris designers, chanel and shaparelli. You know, she is called Venus of fashion in Paris. This skirt is created by master Paul, a fashion master, which makes Paris celebrities scramble for it as soon as it is born... "

The lady introduced a wide range of dresses. When her eyes swept towards the metal card, her eyes burst out with envy and greed.

The noble gold card issued by the first National Bank of Chicago has a personal asset of at least $5 million if you want to own such a card. "It's really a big fat fish."

The VIP gold card is the highest grade credit card issued by the first National Bank of Chicago. Such a metal card is 100 times more valuable than the diamond and black cards of later generations.

There are no more than 15 people in Illinois who own this card. If the restrictions on cross state development of banks are removed, only 50 people in the United States are eligible to have this card.

As long as you show this card in the shops that support consumption, you can freely consume. All the expenses will be paid by the first national bank after the event, with unlimited amount.

Of course, this infinity is just an exaggerated metaphor, because for now, even if you empty all the shops that support consumption, the consumption will not exceed millions.

But having such a card, in the eyes of the outside world, means that the whole first National Bank of Chicago will guarantee the consumption of the card owner, no matter how much he consumes.

The first National Bank of Chicago stands behind the Chicago consortium, one of the eight American consortia, which is the main economic body of the consortium.

As early as the early 20th century, the first oilfield credit card issued by oilfield companies began to enter the era of credit card consumption.

By the end of the 1920s, the American people used credit cards to buy $6 billion worth of goods. At that time, the output value of the whole society was only $2 billion.

The great depression will become more and more serious, and the impact will last for a full decade, because the overdraft spending power and ideas of American citizens are too strong.

As an old saying goes, "my heart is so big that I can't fill in a pig."

When the Great Depression came, the first National Bank of Chicago had a series of big moves, such as raising the demand interest rate to 18% and re rating customers.Stop any loan business and speak with the McCormick family. First national bank has $2 billion in savings and is fully capable of going through any difficulties.

This is not the time to hide one's blunders. Every bank would like to exaggerate its capital by 10 times or 100 times, so as to reassure its customers and prevent them from following the run.

Banks play with savings funds, and even large-scale banks will fear the frenzied run, except for the central bank that can print money, such as the Federal Reserve.

Of course, if that is the case, the US Dao will be devalued into a pile of waste paper.

No: 00018, the only noble gold card issued by the first National Bank of Chicago after the stock market crash.

According to the information received by the lady, the identity of the card owner is very mysterious, even the top management of the bank is limited to a few people.

But first National Bank President Aiken once said, "the owner of the 18th gold card will be one of our bank's most distinguished guests during the great depression."

So what's to worry about? In a time when the economy is tight and everyone is tightening their belts, it's like being hit by a pie to meet such a big fish.

"Are all these OK?" Around the store, Jesse's pupil became brighter and brighter with the blink of her eyelid.

"It's beautiful. It seems that I want it. I want it all..." Little confused has been bewildered.

"Of course, you can choose as much as you like." The lady covered her mouth with her hand and laughed.

"All Wrap it all up. " Jesse can guarantee that when she said this sentence, she did not think in her head, not even for a second.

After signing his name and stamping the card in a box filled with expansion mud, Jesse walked out of the store contentedly, and the new purchase would be delivered later.

"Hee hee, this card is good. Try another one." With a sly smile like a fox, Jesse's eyes sparkled with jewels and looked up at Tiffany next to her.

Li Zitao did not know that the confused secretary was turning into a gold digger, and he was squandering around with his cards. Looking at the posture, he wanted to buy out all the gorgeous miles.

At the moment, he is sitting in an antique shop full of sense of the times, choosing his favorite pocket watch. Li Zitao is interested in many things here.

Especially for those porcelain vases and picture scrolls on the top of the shelf and covered with dust, he seemed to see a snuff bottle full of cobwebs, absolutely made of Lanzhi jade.

"Sir, this pocket watch comes from Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire. It is the product that the watchmakers of the whole country D pooled their wisdom and devoted all their efforts to build for Charles V

It is made of pure silver and engraved with Habsburg emblem and double headed eagle. A ruby pocket watch is inlaid in the middle of the watch cover. The old man sitting behind the low table blows hard.

Li Zitao also listened with interest. Although he did not know whether the origin of this pocket watch was true, there was no doubt that the old man's erudition was beyond doubt.

Let's listen to the life experience of Charles V. his father is Philip I, his mother is the queen of castia, his grandfather is Ferdinand I of Aragon, and her grandmother is Elizabeth I.

His grandfather was the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, and his grandmother was the Duke of Burgundy.

He is also King Carlos I of Spain, king of Netherland, king of Germany, emperor of Holy Roman Empire, and a member of Habsburg dynasty.

"Hold the grass and calculate the close relatives of this guy. They can make up half a century's history. This is the winner of life." Li Zitao was stunned.

"Reincarnation is really a discipline. Posture is very important." With a silent sigh in his heart, Li Zitao interrupted the eloquent old man, "how much is it?"

"Hey, sir, you have a good taste. This handed down product only needs 20000 U.S. Dao, which is absolutely worth the price. If it wasn't for you and me, I wouldn't have taken it out.

you know, historically speaking, it's a real priceless treasure..."

The old man's fault has been made again, and Li Zitao's embarrassment has also been committed. He has a sense of vision when he meets an old man with white beard on the street.

"Young man, today you and I are predestined. I see that you have a full sky and amazing bones. I have a secret script here. The mission of safeguarding world peace will be entrusted to you..."

"West, I'll take it." Li Zitao rubbed his forehead and said.

"What? You wait. Where did I just say? " Wister licked his dry lips, unable to hear what he said.

"I said, 20000 dollars, I'll take it." Li Zitao raised his voice.

Wister was a little confused. After half a sound, he responded, "do you really want it?"

"Yes, 20000 dollars. I'll take it." Li took out the check book, signed $20000 and put it on his desk.

"But I have a request that the earthen pots above be presented to me as gifts. As you can see, I am a Chinese and want something from my hometown."

Li Zitao pointed to the porcelain bottles on the shelf and deliberately devalued them with "vases.".

Instead, he rubbed his thumb against his pocket watch and looked down at the scratched pocket watch. His eyes were thick and reluctant to give up.www.novelhall.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
