"Manager Chen, how have you been?" Ning Zhiheng walked up to Chen Kangshi and said with a smile.
Chen Kangshi quickly bowed slightly and greeted him warmly: "Young Master Lin, it's been many days since we last met. You are still as dashing and heroic as ever. I have been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in!"
At this moment, the bank staff who had been waiting stepped forward and, following Ning Zhiheng's instructions, took down all four boxes.
Chen Kangshi and Ning Zhiheng exchanged pleasantries as they entered Chen Kangshi's office and took their seats as host and guest.
A waiter brought over some tea and then withdrew. Ning Zhiheng didn't linger. He pointed to the four suitcases on the table and got straight to the point: "Manager Chen, I'm here today for the same reason as last time. I want to exchange some of my gold jewelry and fiat currency for pounds or dollars. I wonder if there are any discounts available?"
After saying that, he got up and went to the front of the box, unfastened the leather buckles, and opened it one by one. Suddenly, the box was full of gold bars and banknotes in front of Chen Kangshi.
Chen Kangshi stepped forward with delight, picked up a large gold bar, and carefully examined its texture and purity. He was secretly pleased. Turning to Ning Zhiheng, he said, "Young Master Lin, you're an expert, so I won't lie. The current economic climate isn't good; the price of gold is 20% higher than it was six months ago. I'm honored that you, Young Master Lin, specifically sought me out. Just like last time, I'll increase the price by another 20%. What do you think?"
These words surprised Ning Zhiheng. He had originally thought that, like last time, the two of them would engage in a heated debate, haggling over the price. He did not expect that Chen Kangshun would so readily propose very sincere conditions this time. He could tell that Chen Kangshun was very eager to close this exchange deal.
“Great idea! Manager Chen has really surprised me this time. We’ll do it your way. Exchange these fiat currencies for pounds and dollars at the current exchange rate. Is that alright?” Ning Zhiheng asked, pointing to the fiat currencies.
These boxes of legal tender are indeed a huge sum of money, but that's for an individual. For a large bank like Nan Ye Bank, it would be absorbed much faster once it's put into the cash flow.
Moreover, this time, Chen Kangshi had no intention of making any demands. He nodded in agreement and said, "Let's do as Young Master Lin says!"
The two hit it off immediately and neither wanted any further entanglement. Chen Kangshi went out and called in the clerk who had been waiting outside.
Everything proceeded smoothly according to procedure. The amount of legal tender was counted, and the purity and fineness of the gold were checked. It took more than an hour to finally finish counting. Professional calculators converted the currency according to the agreed exchange rate and handed the results to Chen Kangshi.
Chen Kangshi took a look, nodded, and then handed it to Ning Zhiheng, saying, "Young Master Lin, please take a look. If there are no errors, I will proceed with the transaction."
Ning Zhiheng took a look and was secretly astonished. To be honest, he hadn't had time to carefully count the gold and currency, and only had a rough estimate of their value. But he never expected there to be so much.
He was delighted, but his face remained impassive. He nodded calmly and said, "Alright, that's settled! But this time I want half pounds and half dollars! Is that alright?"
"No problem, everything is ready at the treasury. I'll make the call right away!" Chen Kangshi replied readily.
He immediately picked up the phone to notify Ning Zhiheng, and soon, as Ning Zhiheng requested, several bank employees brought over two boxes of cash, opened them in front of Ning Zhiheng, and counted them on the spot.
The total was £20,000 and $80,000, a huge sum that made Ning Zhiheng extremely satisfied!
After everyone had settled the exchange of gold and currency, they all left. Ning Zhiheng looked at the two boxes of brand-new banknotes, smiled and nodded, and said to Chen Kangshi, "Manager Chen, I am very satisfied with this exchange transaction. I will contact you again if I need anything in the future, and I hope it will go as smoothly as this time!"
Chen Kangshi was extremely satisfied with the exchange transaction. He had received so much gold today, all of sufficient weight and high purity; this performance far exceeded his expectations and was enough to satisfy the bank's senior management. This transaction had completely extricated him from his current predicament, for which he was deeply grateful to Ning Zhiheng.
"Young Master Lin, if you need anything, just give me a call and I'll arrange everything for you. The price will definitely satisfy you!" Chen Kangshi replied solemnly.
Ning Zhiheng left Nanye Bank carrying two suitcases full of banknotes. Chen Kangshi escorted him to the door, and the two said goodbye to each other, watching Ning Zhiheng drive away.
Back at his home, Ning Zhiheng emptied the banknotes from the two suitcases and dragged out two large leather suitcases from under the bed. Only then did he have a chance to sort through all the banknotes. Now he had all the strong currencies like British pounds and US dollars, so he no longer had to worry about the devaluation of the fiat currency or the difficulties in transporting gold.
After a long time, the cleanup was finally completed. The total gains from these few transactions amounted to £50,000 and $180,000. If we add the properties that Wang Shucheng handled, Ning Zhiheng's net worth at this point is that of an absolute tycoon!
Ning Zhiheng quietly looked at the banknotes in front of him, carefully calculating in his mind. This wealth was enough for him and his family to live a worry-free life in this chaotic world. Moreover, he knew that with his current abilities, this wealth would continue to increase. It could be said that in less than a year since he came to this era, he had already firmly established himself. Both his personal abilities and status had greatly improved and changed, which gave him more confidence to face any difficulties in reality.
