Matthew Chan had returned to the bank for consultation, and naturally Finn returned home too. However, both Fishy Wells and Julia Parker were somewhat dazed on the journey; today’s lunch had sent quite the shockwave through them. Finn was fairly relaxed as even if the Bank of China did not provide the loan, he could always go to Red Flower Bank or the Rhine Kingdom Bank, confident that he could definitely get the loan.
But Finn really didn’t want to seek help from those foreign banks because he did not wish to get on the radar of certain intelligence organizations.
Thus, that’s why Finn approached the Bank of China at home. After all, he had plenty of ways to deal with any homegrown scrutiny, and the domestic authorities were not as intrusive as those in North Federation.
Finn was quite relaxed, but the situation was anything but relaxed within the Bank of China. As soon as Matthew Chan returned, he immediately reported the matter to the headquarters of the Bank of China and a board meeting was called without delay. Three hundred million federal coins were by no means a small sum; even the wealthy Bank of China couldn’t ignore it. The most critical issue was the company shares deposited as collateral by Finn, which had one problem; they were non-transferable. Whether to grant Finn the loan or not was really a conundrum.
However, the Red Flower Bank and Rhine Kingdom Bank, mentioned by Finn during his lunch with Matthew Chan, left the directors of the Bank of China in deep thought for quite a while. The reason was simple: they were all from the financial sector and they knew that if the company shares held by Finn were domestic, then neither Red Flower Bank nor Rhine Kingdom Bank may bother. But now, the shares that Finn held were not domestic, but of the world’s largest corporation!
That carried significant weight! They all worked in the same sector, so they knew, be it the Rhine Kingdom Bank or Red Flower Bank, they would be very much interested in Finn’s high-profile approach. Not because it was insignificant, but because it had considerable power in North Federation. Even if Finn’s shares couldn’t be transferred, they wouldn’t worry about not recovering the investment. After all, no matter how long, the shares in Finn’s hands wouldn’t significantly decrease in value.
So the problem was, if they didn’t accept this order, undoubtedly, Finn would go to the Red Flower Bank or the Rhine Kingdom Bank and unquestionably, Finn wouldn’t choose the Bank of China for any future cooperation. If the customer needs help and you fail to provide it, do you still expect to use the customer’s money to make money? Who would be so stupid and let someone play this trick on them?
“Lend him the money! But we keep this document under our care until he repays the loan.” In the end, the Bank of China decided to proceed with this loan; they had no choice as the circumstances Finn had created were intimidatingly impressive.
When Finn received the call, he was still at home, and only three hours had passed since lunch. “I’ll go through the procedure tomorrow, thanks in advance, Bank President Chan.” After the pleasantries, Finn said laughing.
“Alright, Mr. Lewis, you’re too kind. Any bank would welcome a client like you,” Matthew Chan replied, laughing. Since the higher- ups had already agreed, there wouldn’t be a problem with selling a good point to Finn now.
A loan of three hundred million federal coins was just arranged like that, and it was all thanks to Finn’s great reputation. Although the original share transfer document had to be kept at the Bank of China, this wasn’t a problem at all for Finn. He would have been worried about keeping it at his home in case a thief broke in and stole it. Now, it was effectively being stored for him. If they lost it, Finn could even claim a compensation.
Finn saw no reason not to proceed with this win-win situation. After hanging up the phone, the few women around him had naturally overheard the conversation. Fishy Wells stuttered and asked: “They agreed to it?”
“Why wouldn’t they?” Finn asked playfully, his mood soaring! With this money, he could do a lot of things! First of all, acquire a batch of points, which was the most important thing. As long as he got his hands on the first batch of points, Finn’s business could rapidly develop from there, and he could live extravagantly, no matter how much he spent he could never exhaust his wealth. You must know, Finn had a lot of dreams yet to be accomplished!
Finn’s question left the women speechless. They couldn’t comprehend why the Bank of China agreed to this. Finn was basically flaunting his status! There was no collateral at all! Why would they lend money to Finn?! This wasn’t three hundred thousand, or three million, but three hundred million! And it was in federal coins too!
Actually, it wasn’t much different from auto loans and mortgage loans; all Finn had to do was prove his ability to repay. The digits were just bigger, and the repayment period was a bit longer, but none of that mattered. Sure, auto loans and mortgages have collateral, Finn simply didn’t have any.
“Alright, I will be rather busy in the next few days and may have to go abroad for a while. You guys just need to take care of Zoe these days. If something comes up, I’ll get in touch,” Finn said. The things that he had to take care of next were quite dangerous, so he decided not to bring them along.
The girls nodded in agreement, naturally, they wouldn’t object to Finn. With the Bank of China situation settled and Finn going ahead with the procedure tomorrow, the required funds would then be transferred to Finn’s account promptly. As for other matters, Finn need not worry at all. The speed of zero transfer, presumably only a few people worldwide would be able to trace it.
After explaining everything to the girls, Finn picked up his phone and dialed Luca Hall, “Hi boss.” Luca had returned to North Federation to take care of some follow-up matters for Finn, but Finn had already hired him, though he needed to pay Luca’s salary himself.
“Hmm, I may have to go to North Federation and Great Britain for some work. How long will it take to get my passports ready?” Finn didn’t bother with any other rubbish or ask about any other matters. If Luca couldn’t handle mundane things that any normal person could handle, there was no point in hiring him.
“Boss, give me three days.” As expected, Luca understood exactly what people like Finn needed; the most professional service and quickly answered confidently.
“Excellent, do you need anything from me?” Finn nodded satisfactorily and asked.
“No need, I have most of your details here..”
