Chapter 907 Swiss Bank
…
Of course, investing in Boeing, or even investing in airlines with bright futures in the world that have temporarily dimmed their stars, is not the most urgent thing. The most important thing now is to deal with Standard Chartered Bank first!
However, before taking over Standard Chartered Bank, Liu Dong still had one thing to do, and this thing was also the reason why he hurriedly put aside his affairs in Singapore and rushed to France after receiving a call from the Rockefeller family, because France was so far away
Switzerland is closer!
After leaving Airbus, they took Lin Ling to visit Toulouse for a day, and the two checked into the most luxurious hotel in the area.
A night of fun did not make Liu Dong feel tired at all. When midnight came, Liu Dong had already put on his clothes and stood up. He smoothed down Lin Ling's messy hair and exposed her lotus roots.
He put his arms under the thin quilt, then covered her with it, kissed the beauty's rosy and delicate face, and then walked out of the room!
He has already tapped Lin Ling's sleeping hole. Unless he takes the initiative to untie it, he will have to wait another day before it can be untied automatically.
When he came to the living room of the suite, Liu Dong took out a human skin mask made in Colombia from the Mustard Seed Space and put it on himself. In an instant, apart from his imaginary figure, Liu Dong had completely transformed into a completely different person.
After looking at himself in the mirror, Liu Dong nodded with satisfaction and walked to the balcony of the living room. Although the fifteenth floor was a daunting height for others, it was not too easy for Liu Dong.
Just by using the protrusions on each window sill, he easily jumped down from it!
Although it is the fourth largest city in France, Toulouse, with an urban population of no more than 600,000, has few pedestrians on the streets after midnight.
In addition, this is the back entrance of the hotel, so no one noticed Liu Dong falling from the sky.
Walking around to the front of the hotel, Liu Dong, who was in disguise, easily took a taxi and arrived at the Toulouse airport, but he had no intention of buying a ticket and boarding the plane!
Instead, after crossing the high iron fence of the airport, and through the information obtained from the airport website, I found a flight from Toulouse to Bern, the capital of Switzerland, that would take off in an hour!
Because he did not have a ticket, Liu Dong could only hide in the cargo hold under the cabin for the time being! Under the cover of darkness, he successfully achieved his goal.
Toulouse is located in southwestern France, more than 300 kilometers away from Switzerland, which is neighboring France to the southeast. However, at the speed of a passenger plane, it only takes half an hour to fly there!
But after coming out of Bern Airport, Liu Dong successfully found the UBS headquarters, but he didn't find what he wanted. This unexpected situation completely messed up his plan!
"It seems that the purpose of using the relic Yuan Guang to secretly obtain something and then turn it back immediately cannot be achieved!"
Shaking his head, Liu Dong randomly found a hotel that did not require ID card registration and checked in.
Waiting until eight o'clock in the morning, Liu Dong, dressed in a suit and disguise, walked into the UBS headquarters building openly!
"Hello, sir, how can I help you?" The receptionist in a women's suit saw Liu Dong coming in. He stepped forward and asked with professional respect.
"I want to get something?" Liu Dong said.
"Then would you like to withdraw cash or something else?"
“I don’t take cash!”
"Okay, please come this way!" The other party soon led Liu Dong to an obviously different reception area.
Different from the business windows outside. This is more like a workshop, but the space is slightly larger and the decoration is pretty good!
After bringing Liu Dong in, the receptionist soon came over with a young man in his early thirties, "Sir, this is the business manager of our bank. If you need anything, you can talk to him!"
"
"Thanks!"
"You're welcome!" After saying that, the receptionist went out quickly!
"Hello. My name is Richard. Nice to meet you!"
After holding the other person's hand and shaking it, Liu Dong had no intention of saying his name, but took out the key he carried with him, "I think this key should come from your bank?"
Seeing the simple-style, thick key in Liu Dong's hand, divided into six sections, nearly 20 centimeters in length, and the obvious Swiss Bank logo on it, Richard nodded, "Yes, this key comes from our bank, sir."
Do you want to take out the contents?"
Liu Dong was shocked and said quickly: "Not bad!"
"Okay, please wait a moment!"
After finishing speaking, Richard returned to his desk, made a phone call, took out a golden work ID or something like that from the safe next to him, and walked back!
"Sir, let's go! I've already called the above, they will arrange everything for you!"
After nodding, Liu Dong followed Richard out. However, seeing the other person planning to drive away, Liu Dong asked inadvertently: "Isn't this your company headquarters? Isn't the safe here?"
"Oh, in 1998, our UBS merged with UBS Group, and the company headquarters moved here. However, UBS's safe did not move with the headquarters, so the things that Mr. wanted to get are still there, but
It’s also in the city center, not far from here, so sir, don’t worry, we’ll be there in 10 minutes at most!”
After nodding, Liu Dong thought: "It turns out that the thing is really not here, no wonder I didn't find it!"
Like many cities with a long history in Europe, Bern, the capital of Switzerland, is no exception. It has not even experienced the destruction of World War I and World War II. The integrity of Swiss historical buildings that have maintained national peace for nearly two hundred years is the highest in Europe. Walking in Bern
On both sides of the street are modern European-style buildings with no more than 10 floors. Many of them have obvious medieval and complicated architectural styles. Exquisite sculptures and various iron arts are the two most obvious features.
Although there are no high-rise buildings in modern metropolises here, Liu Dong prefers this kind of city with obvious historical and cultural atmosphere. If time is not too tight, he would not mind visiting this world-famous city and enjoying it.
A different kind of beauty that is very different from Chinese civilization!
"Here we are, right here!"
While Liu Dong was admiring the scenery outside the car window, Richard stopped in front of a building about 8 stories high, with a white exterior wall and the "United Bank of Switzerland" logo hanging on the outside.
When Richard took Liu Dong into the building, a middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes in his forties was already waiting there.
"Director Charles, this is the gentleman who plans to take the things!"
After Richard's introduction, the middle-aged man named Charles quickly looked at Liu Dong and extended his right hand to him with a smile, "Nice to meet you!"
"I'm equally happy to meet you. Can we take out the things first? I'm in a hurry!" Liu Dong said.
"Of course, no problem! But before that, sir, could you please take out the key and let me take a look?"
"certainly!"
After taking the key from Liu Dong and looking through it carefully, Charles nodded and returned the key to Liu Dong.
"Please come with me!"
According to the confidentiality system promulgated by the "Swiss Banking Law", any depositor can choose a method he deems appropriate and safe to open a deposit in a Swiss bank. Depositors are allowed to use pseudonyms, codes or numbers instead of real names. Not only when opening an account and making a deposit, they can also entrust an agent
When withdrawing money or transferring money, the bank will fully comply with the regulations agreed with the customer in advance, and the real owner of the property can never show up.
The law also requires banks to strictly abide by the principle of confidentiality. Bank employees must not disclose depositor secrets to third parties under any circumstances, whether the third party is private or official. If there is a violation, the bank employee and the third party who induced him to disclose the information
, all face a prison sentence of 6 months to 5 years and a fine of up to 50,000 Swiss francs.
It is precisely because of this law that the Swiss banking industry has prospered. With a land of more than 40,000 square kilometers and a population of less than 10 million, nearly 400 banks have been born, and many of them are large-scale banks with world influence.
Banks, especially UBS, are no less important than JPMorgan Chase and HSBC Holdings!
It is precisely because of the existence of Swiss banking laws that Liu Dong does not need to provide any information to prove his identity this time. This key is the best proof.
So he followed Charles all the way into the bank!
After passing through the front lobby, the surrounding surveillance began to become tighter. Richard, who brought Liu Dong here, obviously did not have enough identity and stayed outside, so in the end only Charles and Liu Dong were able to enter the bank.
Soon, after two checks, the two of them had gone underground along the stairs, then walked through the corridor on the third underground floor and came to the middle of the corridor. Although it was not as good as a bank vault, it was definitely a safe password.
In front of the door.
"I didn't expect this place to be so secretive!" Liu Dong looked around and said with a smile.
"Mr.'s safe is the earliest and most tightly sealed safe in our bank. Each safe can only be opened with one key. Except for the holder of the key, even our bank cannot open it and take out the contents!"
"Crack!"
After a soft sound, the heavy door was slowly pushed open by Charles, "Sir, please come in!"
After nodding, Liu Dong strode in.
What appeared in front of him was a long and narrow underground space, with heavy stainless steel storage cabinets on the left and right sides, each of the same size, divided into three floors. Liu Dong counted, and in the entire space of more than a hundred square meters,
