Charles held his breath nervously, his heart beating fast.

This is one of the few transactions with an auction value exceeding US$1000 million since the establishment of the Edo branch of Sotheby's auction house!
After all, Edo is not country E, and there are not many international buyers living here. Most of the high-value items will be auctioned at the headquarters of country E.

At this time, an appraiser suddenly said, "Sir, can we have a look at the other two calligraphy and paintings?"

"No problem, anyway, these three calligraphy and paintings are all for auction." Tang Long nodded.

Before the two appraisers reported the results of the first painting to Charles, they started a new round of work.

After 10 minutes, the two appraisers straightened up. Judging from their actions, the appraisal work was over.

"result?"

Charles was even more eager than Tang Long, impatiently asking the two of them.

An older appraiser nodded and said in English with a smile: "After our careful inspection, we can confirm that these three paintings are 200% authentic, and the value is definitely more than [-] million U.S. dollars."

Charles breathed a sigh of relief: "Very well, thank you for your hard work."

"Now, we can talk about the specific matters of the entrusted auction." Tang Long smiled.

Soon, Charles introduced the details of the auction to Tang Long, and mentioned that there would be a New Year's auction at the end of next month.

If Tang Long is not in a hurry, he can wait until the end of next month, so that the auction price will be higher.

Unfortunately, Tang Long couldn't wait that long, he was in a hurry to spend the money.

In one month, the money he made in the stock market was much more than the millions he made in the auction.

Tang Long excused that because of capital turnover problems, he needed to withdraw the funds as soon as possible, even if the auction price was lower.

Charles frowned. In the recent global stock market crash, there are many situations like Tang Long who lack capital turnover, but he needs more money.

It is not difficult to find sellers for these three antique calligraphy and paintings in the short term. The problem is that the price will not be too high.

In this way, the commission earned by the auction house will be much less.

He suddenly thought of a good idea, and immediately called a friend who worked at M Express Bank.

Soon, a somewhat bald middle-aged man rushed to the auction house.

"Charles, what's the rush for me to come here?" The middle-aged man yelled as soon as he entered the door.

Charles quickly stood up, smiled and introduced them to the two: "This is Philip Locke, the vice president of the Edo Branch of the M Country Express Bank, and this is Mr. Tang Ying from the M country. I have some business to introduce to you. "

Just in case, Tang Long asked the system to customize a new identity for him, named Tang Ying.

Tang Long stood up smiling and shook hands with Philip, listening quietly to Charles' explanation.

The problem is actually very simple. Tang Long's antique calligraphy and paintings worth more than 200 million US dollars are going to be auctioned. He urgently needs funds and can't wait for a month.

For the benefit of itself and its clients, the auctioneer hopes that Tang Long can put the antique calligraphy and painting in next month's New Year's Auction.

In order to solve this problem, Philip from the M National Express Bank was called.

Tang Longhui mortgaged these three antique calligraphy and paintings at Sotheby's auction house to obtain a loan of 1000 million US dollars with a monthly interest of 3%.

When the auction is over, Sotheby's will deduct 15% of the commission first, and then transfer the 1030 million US dollars directly to the M National Express Bank, and the rest will belong to Tang Long.

If the total price of the auction is less than 1000 million after deducting the commission, Tang Long will make up for the arrears.

3% interest is not worth mentioning to Tang Long, so he readily agreed.

For M National Express Bank, with Sotheby's as a guarantee, this transaction has no risk, but the annualized return is very considerable.

Philip agreed without hesitation, and warmly invited Tang Long to open an account at the M National Express Bank.

In the phone call just now, Charles described Tang Long as a rich second generation from an ancient oriental country. His family has antique calligraphy and paintings worth billions, and any three of them are worth tens of millions of dollars.

Such local tyrants are exactly the big customers that M National Express Bank needs to win over.

The three parties signed the relevant contract, and Tang Long left the three calligraphy and paintings at Sotheby's auction house, and followed Philip to the nearby M National Express Bank.

Tang Long opened an account as Tang Ying at the M National Express Bank, and Philip immediately had 1000 million US dollars transferred to his account.

After completing the formalities, Philip asked habitually, "Mr. Tang, what investment do you plan to make with this money?"

For such a potential big client, he didn't want the other party to take the money and leave.

"There are a lot of opportunities in the stock market of Cherry Blossom Country recently, and I plan to try investing in it." Tang Long said with a smile.

Tang Long will invest all of this money in the stock market of Sakura Country, focusing on buying two stocks of Toyota and Takeda. When the stock index futures are opened in 90, that's when he will short-sell the stock index.

Hearing Tang Long's words, Philip immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to draw the relationship between the two closer.

M National Express is the largest global company in the world for travel services, comprehensive finance, financial investment and information processing.

It not only has banking business under its name, but also provides various financial services. If customers can hold the Centurion Black Gold Card, they will enjoy various privileges.

"Mr. Tang, American Express also has a financial investment business. You can directly open a corresponding investment account with our company." Philip introduced enthusiastically.

Tang Long asked with interest: "Oh? Does your company provide investment consulting services?"

"America Express has a top-notch investment consultant team, and we promise to formulate the most comprehensive investment and financial management plan for you!" Seeing Tang Long's interest, Philip immediately advocated.

Tang Long nodded: "Yes, I need a Chinese female investment consultant, which is convenient for communication."

From now to January 1990, there are still more than two years.

It is impossible for him to stay in the world of "Twelve Monkeys" all the time, and he needs a reliable investment advisor to carry out his plan.

Chinese female investment consultants usually have a low status in foreign companies, and are easier to obey, and will not advocate changing his trading plan without authorization.

The most important point is that as a Chinese, it is easier for a foreigner to keep his investment plan conservative.

Philip froze for a moment, then replied, "No problem, I'll arrange it for you right away."

In his opinion, Tang Long speaks fluent English, so there is no communication problem, so there is no need to name Chinese female investment consultants.

However, the customer is God, and American Express can satisfy even weirder and weirder requirements. This trivial matter is not a problem at all.

American Express has tens of thousands of employees, and there are all kinds of talents. It is not a problem to find a few Chinese female investment consultants.

Soon, a petite and cute-looking Huaguo woman in her twenties, wearing a uniform, came to Tang Long.

"Hi! My name is Feng Ruxuan, and I am an investment consultant of American Express Investment. May I help you?" The short-haired girl looked at Tang Long cautiously and said in English.

Tang Long said in Chinese with a smile on his face: "Don't be so nervous, sit down first."

"Thank you, Mr. Tang." Feng Ruxuan sat on the sofa opposite and replied in Chinese.

Looking at Feng Ruxuan's immature face, Tang Long asked calmly, "How long have you been investing in Express?"

"Less than a year." Feng Ruxuan replied truthfully.

Tang Long asked seriously: "If you want to do a good job in performance, do you want to get a bonus of [-] or even a million a year?"

Feng Ruxuan looked at Tang Long dully, and subconsciously nodded.

If the vice president of the company hadn't called her personally and told her that Tang Long was an important customer of the company, she would have thought this young man was a liar.
