Chapter 5 Changes brought about by money (4K chapter, seek points(1/2)
The next day, Zhang Da stayed in bed until 9 o'clock, and then got up lazily and prepared to go to the bank.
He wanted to exchange some Macau dollars for backup and then transfer 10 million to his mother and father's ICBC card.
This was the result of him being soaked all night yesterday.
Zhang Da, in a good mood, hummed a song to brush his teeth. Unexpectedly, as soon as he started brushing his teeth, the ringtone of his cell phone rang.
Zhang Da rinsed his mouth, picked up his phone and walked to the living room with better signal. He was a strange Jinling number.
"Hey, hello, is it Mr. Zhang Da?"
On the other end of the phone, there was a calm and slightly intimate middle-aged male voice.
Zhang Da replied: "Hello, I am Zhang Da, who are you?"
"Hello, Mr. Zhang," the voice opposite became more and more cordial. "I am Chen Bing, the president of the ICBC Xiaoying Branch. This time I called to thank you for your trust and support in our bank. I wonder if you have time recently? If it is convenient, my colleagues and I want to visit you and express our gratitude in person."
Oh, the legendary bank VIP service has come to you.
Zhang Da knew that there was about 100 million in his card, and it would be strange if the bank didn't contact him.
He is not unfamiliar with Xiaoying Branch, and it takes only a few minutes to walk from home.
So he replied, "Come on, President Chen, I'm going to go to your bank to do some business today."
"Is that so? That's a coincidence!" The voice on the other end of the phone was a little surprised, "When will you arrive? What business do you need to do? I'll make arrangements for you in advance."
"Ah, don't be so troublesome! I just want to exchange some Macau dollars and then make two transfers." Zhang Da said as he looked at the wall clock on the wall, "It's 9:30 now, I'll arrive at around 9:50!"
"Okay, OK," Chen Bing laughed twice on the phone, "Then I'll wait for you to drive."
…
At 9:45 am, Zhang Da walked into the bank.
After finding the lobby manager to express his intention, the other party immediately asked someone to inform the president and took Zhang Da into the VIP room.
As soon as I entered the VIP room, a middle-aged man with a kind face and a slightly taller hairline smiled and stretched out his hand:
"Hello, are you Mr. Zhang?"
Zhang Da shook hands with the other party:
"Yes, I am Zhang Da, are you President Chen?"
"Yes, yes, just call my name," Chen Bing smiled more and more enthusiastic, "Mr. Zhang is really young and promising."
"You are kind, just call me my name too."
"Okay, please sit down."
After making some polite words, Chen Bing personally accompanied Zhang Da to handle the business.
At Chen Bing's suggestion, Zhang Da, who originally wanted to change one, but two thousand Macau dollars, finally changed five thousand yuan. After completing the two transfers, Chen Bing asked the business manager to increase Zhang Da's online banking transfer amount to an unlimited limit. Finally, he asked Zhang Da to go to the office for a while.
Well, it's really a chat.
Chen Bing was not in a hurry to sell any financial products to Zhang Da. The two talked about each other's interests and hobbies from traveling, and even made an appointment to play football together after Zhang Da came back from traveling.
It was not until the end when Chen Bing added WeChat that he mentioned:
"If Mr. Zhang is interested in doing some financial investment, you might as well consider our ICBC."
Finally, Chen Bing personally sent Zhang Da to the bankers, and took the initiative to ask Zhang Da where he was going next, and said that he could drive him over.
Such treatment really surprised Zhang Da, but when he thought about it, such treatment was completely brought by the system and money.
If he was still an ordinary white-collar worker, the president would naturally not receive him personally.
The charm of money is often so direct.
Leaving the bank, Zhang Da put on his headphones and began to wander aimlessly on the street.
It is said that the most beautiful April day in the world, and the gentle spring breeze blows through Jinling, a city that only "only" summer and winter.
Unknown wild flowers stubbornly hung from the middle of the two trees, and the heavy white clouds in the sky complemented each other.
In the small square on the corner of the street, an old man was playing badminton with his children. A gust of wind blew, and willow catkins all over the sky fell into the children's eyes. The old man hurried forward and helped the children blow their eyes while comforting the crying child.
I don’t know who walked the dog without a leash. A golden retriever secretly brought the badminton that fell to the ground to the owner, causing the child who had just opened his eyes to cry again.
The dog owner hurriedly grabbed badminton from the dog who was seeking credit and reward, apologized repeatedly in the old man's nagging, and then fled with the golden retriever.
Zhang Da was overjoyed watching, but Liu Xu flew into his eyes this time. He grinned in discomfort and blinked for a long time before he recovered.
It turns out that life is very beautiful, but we are exhausted and have no time to pay attention to these beauty.
In the bank, Chen Bing's evaluation of Zhang Da has been improved by several levels.
Originally, he thought Zhang Da was a rich second generation, but when he routinely asked the recipient of large-scale transfers, Zhang Da inadvertently said that the money was transferred to his parents.
Chen Bing immediately adjusted the bank card transactions of Zhang Jun and Yang Jinping and found that there was no large transfer record, which was basically the wage card of the working class.
In this way, the young Zhang Da is likely to be a self-made billionaire.
Chen Bing made a secret decision in his heart: "You must win over such potential customers."
…
At noon, Zhang Da took a taxi to a high-end steakhouse in Hexi for dinner.
This steak restaurant specializes in dry mature steaks in the mall and also provides some high-level wagyu beef.
Of course, per capita consumption is also quite expensive. If you want to have a meal of meat, you will have to spend at least a few hundred yuan.
Before getting the system, Zhang Da could only come over and spend time once.
But now, such consumption is nothing.
Although located in Hexi, where high-income people gather, the attendance rate of this steak restaurant in the afternoon market is still average.
The waiter greeted Zhang Da enthusiastically, and then led Zhang Da to sit near the bar.
“I’ll get you a menu.”
After helping Zhang Da open the chair and watch him take the seat, the young lady walked to the bar to pick up the menu.
Zhang Da sat down and looked around. At the bar on his left side, a waiter was cutting ham. The shiny ham was slowly sliced under the slices, which was quite visually enjoyable.
Next to the bar is the store’s glass mature cabinet, and the steaks of different grades fill the entire cabinet, making "carnivores" like Zhang Da have a great appetite.
As for the entire wall on Zhang Da’s right, there are hotel red wine display cabinets, with a wide range of red wines arranged neatly in the wine cabinet, as if the soldiers waiting for the general to review, and it looks very luxurious.
Even Zhang Da, who had just vomited a few days ago, had difficulty feeling bad about this "whole wall" of red wine.
At this moment, the waiter brought the menu.
"I want a 21-day ripe little battleaxe, and three-year-old."
Zhang Da, who had been here several times, briefly looked through the menu and found that it had not changed from the last time he came. He ordered a steak price of 798, then ordered a small portion of Iberian ham and a lobster soup, and the dessert was souffle.
After confirming Zhang Da’s order, the waiter quickly delivered the bread before the meal and poured Zhang Da a glass of lemonade.
After drinking water, Zhang Da cut the bread with a dining knife, changed to the butter knife, applied the butter on the bread, grabbed the bread with his hands and started to chew it.
The bread that was just released soon won't burn when it was held in your hands. The bread was added with some nuts and berries to provide a sufficient aroma. It was a small climax with the butter in the store.
After Zhang Da finished eating two slices of bread in the bread basket, the waiter came over to ask if he needed to add bread.
Thinking of his 800g steak with bones, Zhang Da chose to refuse.
After a while, the Iberian ham was served.
The price of 42g of ham is 298. If calculated in grams, it is much more expensive than mature steak.
The sliced ham was arranged in the shape of a flower fan on the dining plate. A small silver plate was placed in the center of the plate, with olives used to relieve the greasyness.
Zhang Da ate a piece of meat and an olive, which made him feel very comfortable.
The lobster soup was then served. The waiter said that the soup was made with lobster shells and shrimp brains, but Zhang Da didn't taste any umami in the soup, only a crayfish smell.
The shrimp meat in the soup should also be frozen, and the taste and freshness are relatively average.
A little bit of a thunder.
Zhang Da frowned secretly and shook his head, but he was noticed by the waiter beside him.
The young lady came over:
"Sir, sorry, is this lobster soup not very good to your taste? Can you make a redo for you?"
"No, this soup is OK," Zhang Da thought for a while and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome, suppose," the young lady said, putting away the soup plate on the table, "Can you prepare steak for you now?"
"Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome, I'll change your dining plates and tableware."
I replaced the used knife and fork and plate with clean ones, and sent a knife for steak-cutting. Today's highlight is finally about to begin.
About 10 minutes later, the steak was served and another waiter served sea salt and black pepper at the same time.
The steak has been cut into medium-sized blocks in advance, with the center of the beef being blood-red and brown in circles on the outside. It is the so-called Maillard reaction, commonly known as the burnt edge.
