Chapter 896: 892. You Have a Lot of Nerve! (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

To make them do this now is effectively the same as saying that they, the Swiss Bank, have gone back on their word.

Although the Rhode Family and the Swiss Bank haven't said it, everyone actually knows that the Swiss Bank also gained huge benefits from this issuance of Oil Bonds.

This is also one of the reasons why they are willing to do this.

Therefore, it is clearly impossible for Zhang Ran to make them give up now, especially since this would damage their reputation.

Is the Swiss Bank really that big?

Actually, that is not the case; compared to some large banks, their scale, value, or business are not really anything special.

But their reputation is very large, and many wealthy people are willing to deposit their money in their bank.

Why?

It is precisely because their reputation is very good, and they also hold their own reputation in very, very high regard.

"Mr. Zhang, I don't know what misunderstandings you have with the Rhode Family, but if possible, I will host, and you can sit down and talk. Doesn't Huaxia have a saying that goes, 'It is better to resolve grievances than to keep them'?" Aosituo said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ran didn't know what to say, and could only remark, "You have a lot of nerve!"

Zhang Ran used the Huaxia language for this sentence.

Although Aosituo understands some Huaxia culture and knows a few phrases in Huaxia, he still could not understand such an idiomatic expression.

But Aosituo keenly sensed that Zhang Ran was not complimenting him with these words.

"Mr. Zhang,......" Aosituo's expression darkened, and he was about to speak.

However, Zhang Ran did not give him that chance. "There are many things that outsiders cannot interfere with. We in Huaxia have another saying: 'Do not preach kindness to others if you have not experienced their suffering.'

Do you know what kind of grudges we have between us? You dare to say such things; aren't you afraid of biting your tongue?"

Zhang Ran has always hated people who think they are very important; what do you know? Why are you interfering in the middle?

"Alright, since Mr. Aosituo is unwilling, then I have nothing more to say. Everyone, take care of yourselves." After saying this, Zhang Ran bid farewell and left.

Although he didn't really hold much hope when coming this time, it would have been best if he could have succeeded.

However, it is clear that most people only want to take advantage and do not want to pay, even if the things they might gain from paying would be even more.

Zhang Ran returned home and then signaled to Huo Zhiyuan to see how the preparations were going.

Huo Zhiyuan said, "Everything is ready."

Zhang Ran nodded and said, "Alright, then let's set off."

After speaking, Zhang Ran and his group went directly to the Swiss Bank; he needed to see how much of the things he had deposited there remained.

As long as one item was missing, then for him, this would be an opportunity.

As for it really being completely intact?

Zhang Ran actually didn't quite believe that; knowing that the items no longer had an owner, very few people would truly not be tempted.

And even if the people at the top weren't tempted, some employees who knew the situation might not necessarily be able to resist.

Although these items have strict custody systems, no matter what the system is, it actually has flaws.

Especially since it wasn't as strict in the past, there were actually quite a few loopholes to exploit.

After some negotiations, Zhang Ran and his group were quickly taken to the VIP room, and the Manager here came to receive them.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang. My name is Gusitafu, and I am the Manager here. How can I be of service to you?" Gusitafu had a professional smile on his face.

Zhang Ran did not hide his identity, and since he had come, he figured he couldn't hide it anyway; those who run banks are quite familiar with wealthy people.

These are all equivalent to their big clients, especially for a place like the Swiss Bank, where a large part of their business is actually dealing with the wealthy.

Of course they knew Zhang Ran's identity: the third richest person in the world, and still charging upward with rapid momentum.

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Hello, I would like to withdraw some things I deposited here in the past."

He didn't beat around the bush and said it directly.

Gusitafu looked at the things Zhang Ran had brought and nodded, saying, "I will go arrange it for you right away."

Zhang Ran was not in a hurry at this moment; he sat in the VIP room, quietly drinking coffee.

Although he didn't particularly like coffee, he had to admit that the coffee here was really quite good.

Although tea leaves were still what he liked more!

But drinking it once or twice occasionally was still quite nice.

Gusitafu did not know the situation inside; he was just following the normal procedures. The things Zhang Ran had left here back then were not few in number.

He had opened no fewer than ten safety deposit boxes, and several of them were anonymous.

"Mr. Zhang, we are ready here. Please come with me." Gusitafu said with a smile.

Zhang Ran nodded and led his people to follow; as for only letting one person in, that obviously wasn't a rule for someone like Zhang Ran.

Actually, Gusitafu was still a bit excited, knowing that Zhang Ran had deposited things with them, and for such a long time.

He had actually already thought of a very good promotional method.

One must know that competition among banks is becoming increasingly fierce, and they need to expend quite a bit of energy to keep the money of some wealthy people with them.

Especially in recent years, those wealthy people from Huaxia have been emerging one after another, and this is also a big piece of fat meat.

If the news could be leaked that Zhang Ran had also deposited things with them, and had kept them there for thirty years, then it would likely attract quite a few Huaxia wealthy people.

Just as he was thinking this, Gusitafu opened the first cabinet and then signaled for Zhang Ran to check the items inside.

Zhang Ran only took one look and knew there was no problem, signaling him to continue.

When they opened the second cabinet, Gusitafu's face turned pale in an instant, while Zhang Ran only smiled.

There was nothing at all inside this cabinet.

"Mr. Zhang........." Gusitafu wanted to explain something.

"Don't be in such a hurry to explain, continue." Zhang Ran said with a chuckle.

As this cabinet was opened, Gusitafu's mood was no longer the same as before; he then opened another cabinet, and this cabinet was the same as the first one—the items inside were not missing.

The fourth cabinet was intact and undamaged.

The seventh cabinet, the things inside are gone.

"If I remember correctly, there should have been one hundred million US dollars in bearer bonds inside," Zhang Ran suddenly said.

At this, Gusitafu's legs nearly went weak; this was a major blunder!

At this moment, he had completely abandoned his previous thoughts; he was now even more anxious than Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran, of course, would not be anxious; no matter what was missing, Swiss Bank would have to compensate for it, and not only would they have to pay compensation, they would also need to pay some other price.
