Chapter 22 If Interest Were Offered, I Wouldn't Save



This young man was not playing by the typical rich second generation playbook at all. Such audacious moves were something he had never heard of in his life, making him treat Zhang Menglong with much more caution.

"Forget it, no harm to those who don\'t know. However, your bank really needs to tighten up its employment screening," Zhang Menglong said as he plopped down on the sofa, adopting the posture of a seasoned cadre.

"By the way, there\'s a pair of elderly sanitation workers outside. They were just having a hard time with someone named Zhou Yue. You should quickly send someone to handle it."

"Secretary Liu, please hurry and arrange for someone to help the two elders!" Gu Anshan could see now; this was the main reason for the conflict between Zhang Menglong and Zhou Yue.

He must ensure that the two elders are well taken care of, as this would maximize the restoration of Zhang Menglong\'s good opinion of him, so he directly instructed his secretary to personally take care of it.

Secretary Liu was also a smart person; a simple look from Gu Anshan and he understood the meaning. He closed the door for them and immediately went to arrange things.

"This is so refreshing!" Zhang Menglong gulped down half of the tea in front of him in one go.

"Refreshing..." Gu Anshan twitched the corner of his eye. This was not ordinary tea. It was not available on the common market and he had pulled many strings to get it from a friend. He himself rarely indulged in it, reserving it only for very important guests.

Seeing Zhang Menglong\'s manner, treating it like plain water, was simply a waste of good resources.

But he dared not express his anger. The person in front of him might only be a young man around 20 years old, but his wealth was frightfully immense!

He had been so scared when he heard about it that he had been unable to sleep all night.

What did a hundred billion US dollars signify? Even the assets of the richest person in the world were only about one hundred fifty billion US dollars, and that included stocks, houses, and other fixed assets. In cash terms, it definitely would not reach such a figure.

Yet, Zhang Menglong\'s account contained exactly one hundred billion in cash! If this news were to break, it would probably shock the entire world! The next day headlines on UC and Tengxun would be all over the place.

Thinking deeper, a person whose cash assets exceeded a hundred billion US dollars likely had some fixed assets as well. He even suspected that this young man\'s assets might surpass those of the world\'s richest person!

That night they reviewed this transaction, and the final verdict was that there was nothing amiss with this asset, all sources linked back to assets under the young man\'s name!

Their investigation revealed staggering amounts derived from several domestic and even international conglomerates. In other words, this young man was a shareholder in those giant world-class consortia and, judging by the vast amounts of funds, a major one at that.

They racked their brains but couldn\'t fathom why a 20-year-old would possess such terrifying industries.

To maintain client confidentiality, everyone who knew about this matter that day signed a confidentiality agreement, including Gu Anshan, ensuring that no more than five people knew of this incident!

"I really did not expect, Mr. Zhang, that you would be so young," Gu Anshan complimented, "I had thought you were one of our Huaxia tycoons. Mr. Zhang, you truly are young and promising."

"I wouldn\'t say successful, just lucky with a good birth," Zhang Menglong spoke without pretence, "I originally wanted to find a decent job, but my capabilities didn\'t allow it, and I accidentally inherited the family business. It really gives me a headache."

Zhang Menglong truly felt the headache. With his assets, earning 100 billion US Dollars a year was easier than spending 100 billion US Dollars.

But to Gu Anshan\'s ears, that statement was pure bragging. Today\'s wealthy didn\'t utter a word of truth–either they were disinterested in money, couldn\'t distinguish between beautiful women, had a \'small\' goal of a billion, or now another who \'accidentally\' inherited billions.

"This stuff is no different from the tea that costs hundreds of thousands per gram we drink at home!" Zhang Menglong gurgled with the remaining half-cup of tea before spitting it back into the cup.

"Hundreds of thousands per tael..." Gu Anshan had no doubts about that statement; not just hundreds of thousands per tael, if there was tea costing hundreds of thousands per gram, Zhang Menglong could definitely afford it!

However, that statement even gave Gu Anshan the urge to kill Zhang Menglong. Such exquisite tea was rare, made from solitary tea plants and supposed to be delicately savoured for its charm. Yet in his mouth, it was just like plain boiled water–something a tea aficionado like him could never tolerate.

"By the way, Mr. Gu, what exactly did you call me here for today?" Zhang Menglong asked.

Gu Anshan took a deep breath, having wasted so much time, finally getting to the point.

"Here\'s the thing, Mr. Zhang, we will set up a management team specifically to handle that sum in our bank, so I hope you can trust us and feel comfortable leaving those funds with us," said Gu Anshan.

"No problem at all," Zhang Menglong looked puzzled. Where would all that money go if not in the bank? Turn it all into cash and withdraw? There would have to be that much cash available!

Hearing Zhang Menglong\'s response, Gu Anshan immediately smiled, realizing Zhang Menglong was quite agreeable.

"However, I really like spending money, and you mustn\'t restrict my spending limit!" Zhang Menglong said.

"Of course, our management team will serve you 24/7. Whenever you wish to make expenditures, we\'ll fully support you!"

"That\'s good to hear."

"And concerning the interest, you can absolutely be assured. For regular clients, our current interest rate is 0.24%, but for significant clients like you, we can raise the current interest rate above fixed-rate levels. According to our regulations, we can offer you up to a 7% annual interest rate!"

With 100 billion US Dollars, handled properly, the bank could earn far more than 7%. This was the outcome of consultations with the president of Huaxia\'s head branch, and they didn\'t mind offering such a rate at all.

"What? Seven percent?" Zhang Menglong suddenly stood up from the sofa, his face darkening.

At a 7% interest rate, that\'s 70 billion US Dollars a year, and his bank account was growing by more than a billion in cash daily. This was outright financial murder!

"Mr. Zhang, are you dissatisfied with the interest rate?" Gu Anshan immediately became tense. Indeed, the 7% rate was too low compared to the potential earnings from such a sum, but the bank wasn\'t a charity either; they wanted to earn more as well.

"If you\'re not satisfied, we can still negotiate. What about 8%?" Gu Anshan tentatively asked, though his bottom line was much higher, testing step by step was the way to secure the maximum profit.

"8%?" Zhang Menglong slammed the desk, "If you offer me such high interest, I won\'t deposit it; I\'ll transfer all these funds away immediately!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
