No. 26 Financial Street.
The original property rights belonged to Hengsheng Group. Later, Hengsheng encountered explosive issues, and all of Hengsheng’s assets, along with its main real estate business, were taken over by Boss Jiang.
Thus, after deciding to cooperate with Yang Qinghua, Jiang Chen signed his na with a flourish, transforming this place into the headquarters of a personal bank, naming it Heaven and Earth Bank.
This na is undeniably a bit of a dark joke, yet at the sa ti, it is quite fitting.
He’s busy with many matters, entrusting almost everything from the renovation to personnel selection to Cao Jinse to handle on his behalf.
He’s always talking about having a revolutionary friendship with others. This is indeed true; in fact, to this day, Jiang Chen and Cao Jinse are so deeply bound it’s beco inseparable.
Shi Qianxi advised him to make sothing good of it.
How could he?
If it was rely about romantic affairs between the opposite sex, it would be straightforward. However, Cao Jinse knows too many of his "secrets".
"Did you also get kickbacks?"
With a schedule packed tight, Jiang Chen looked out the car window at the headquarters of Heaven and Earth Bank.
The bank’s height isn’t much; although Boss Jiang did not personally oversee it, the headquarters carries his personal style. It avoids nihilism, opposes ostentation, and strives for low-key practicality, totaling less than ten floors.
"Do you think it’s not worth it?"
"Where is the value?"
After firsthand observation, Jiang Chen confird again, "For such a sign, eight million?"
"Yeah, and that’s even the friendly price."
"..."
Jiang Chen said, "You probably pocketed seven million, right?"
"This sign was designed by a top dostic art master. See the logo there? Six million for the design fee."
Besides the four prominent characters of Heaven and Earth Bank, there indeed is an intricate logo in the middle, a pattern of a bronze cauldron, exuding a sense of artistry and a touch of mystery. But no matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem to be worth six million.
Perhaps sensing his inner doubt, Cao Jinse explained, "If you shine a ultraviolet light, this logo reveals Heluo Books. You should know what River Diagram and Luo Book are, right."
Jiang Chen said nothing, simply giving a thumbs-up, then opened the car door and got out.
The money’s already allocated; it’s like water spilled, you can’t get it back.
Besides, people put in a lot of effort, and it’s tough; taking a little fee is justified.
No prior notice was given, so there wasn’t a big welcoming scene. But as a private bank, the service is surely better than a state-owned bank. Inside the automatic doors, the welcoming staff bowed and smiled.
"How may I assist both of you today?"
"Remittance."
Jiang Chen was simple and direct.
Because no identification was presented, the service staff couldn’t possibly know their nas and rely politely indicated the ticket machine.
"Please take a number here."
Jiang Chen didn’t feel disrespected and followed the proper steps to take a number. While waiting, they proactively brought over two cups of water.
Though just plain boiled water, it was enough to uplift the mood.
Heaven and Earth Bank hasn’t been in operation long, yet its user count is impressive. A total of eight service windows, each busy with transactions. In terms of promotion, Changcheng Group undoubtedly made significant contributions.
With a solid foundation, constructing tall buildings becos much easier.
Succeeding in one industry makes entering other fields more achievable.
Not to ntion Boss Jiang still has the big artillery, Hengsheng Group’s real estate, for mortgage businesses – unsure of how many account openings it could bring.
"Opening a bank is straightforward."
Gazing at the bustling hall, Jiang Chen sipped his water, expressing his sentints.
Cao Jinse remained unresponsive.
So pretentious.
Such words could only be spoken by this guy; anyone else wouldn’t dare try.
While waiting for their number to be called, Jiang Chen observed, sowhat resembling a chairman inspecting the grassroots.
"Welco."
The automatic doors parted, accompanied by programd sounds as a bald, overweight man entered, looking gloomy, instantly giving an impression of bad fortune.
Indeed, he faced misfortune, having encountered an accident on the way, which was only just resolved.
Unlike Boss Jiang, he wasn’t an ordinary user but a VIP of Heaven and Earth Bank, not needing to queue for a ticket. Showing his Gold Card, he intended to walk through the VIP channel.
This doesn’t equate to discrimination.
It’s common across all sectors.
"Oh wow!"
Coincidentally, the bald, overweight man spotted Jiang Chen and others in the lounge, halting his intended path to the VIP area for exclusive service.
Cao Jinse glanced over.
Wasn’t this the sa guy driving the Navigator just now?
Though instantly recognizable, Cao Jinse pretended not to know him.
Jiang Chen did the sa, still aimlessly observing around and sipping water.
"Tsk, what a coincidence."
They might forget, but others don’t forget, changing direction, he slowly approached.
"Both of you still rember , right?"
Now that they were approached, ignoring him was impossible. Cao Jinse remained composed, "Is there an issue?"
Seeing her calm, the bald man got even angrier. Not everyone empathizes with beauty; privileges exist for beauties, but not in every situation.
"Earlier on the road, you blocked my path, causing to crash into that delivery guy. The traffic police held fully responsible. The delivery guy’s been sent to the hospital; next, he’ll likely ask for dical, lost wages, and emotional damages fees. Miss, do you think we should settle this account?"
The bald man was towering, sneering, paired with his deanor, made him sowhat intimidating.
