Chapter 68: Chapter 68: If You’re Rich, the Bank Will Even Pick Up Your Kids

In the hotel.

Lu Feng had drunk a lot last night. Even though his physique was twice that of a normal person, he still felt a bit of a headache.

What would an ordinary person do if they suddenly came into hundreds of millions? The first thing they’d do is celebrate.

He was no different.

After completing the deal with Master Kai, he took his cousin and Chen Bo out for a proper celebration, which naturally involved a lot of drinking.

Naturally, after completing the first transaction and seeing 350 million added to his account, his entire mindset had shifted.

After all, possessing a fortune in the hundreds of millions could truly lead to a huge mental and spiritual uplift.

When Lu Feng walked out of his room, Yang Ming and Chen Bo were already awake. They were used to the nightlife scene; no matter how drunk they got, they always woke up quickly the next day.

There’s a saying: habit becomes second nature. It’s like when you use your left hand too much—the moment you grip it, the feeling just comes to you.

"Cousin, Chen Bo, come with me to the bank!" Lu Feng called out as he headed out the door.

He had promised them a 1% commission for finding a middleman to offload that ton of gold.

If you want the horse to run, you have to let it graze. He had to maintain that much integrity.

And 1% of 350 million is 3.5 million.

Although he had over 300 million in his account, his card’s transfer limit hadn’t been raised yet. He needed to go to the bank to apply for an increase.

"Yes, Young Master Feng." Chen Bo responded instantly upon hearing the call, then followed respectfully.

’Are you kidding me?’ he thought. ’When you meet a boss who can make you this kind of money, you don’t just show respect—you latch onto his leg and don’t let go.’

Yesterday, this Young Master Feng had made 350 million from a single gold deal. One percent of that was 3.5 million. Splitting it with Yang Ming meant he’d get 1.75 million.

And how long had it been?

The whole affair took less than ten days from start to finish.

A boss who helps you earn 1.75 million in such a short time? Other people could only dream of finding someone like that to pledge allegiance to. He had just stumbled into the luckiest break of his life.

Lu Feng took Yang Ming and Chen Bo to the nearest ICBC branch. Normally, large transfers and limit increases would be handled by a dedicated account manager.

However, when the receiving manager saw that Lu Feng’s account balance exceeded 300 million, the bank manager himself came out to invite him into his office for tea.

"President Lu, welcome! My name is Cheng Long, the manager of this branch. Please forgive my poor reception earlier, I sincerely apologize!" Cheng Long said respectfully. After they sat down, he hastily pulled out a pack of his finest private-stock tea to brew for the three of them.

This scene made Yang Ming and Chen Bo sigh with emotion. This was the power of money.

If it were them, even in a small county town like Youcheng, a branch manager would never come out to personally receive them.

After pouring Lu Feng a cup of tea, Cheng Long immediately called over a department head, instructing him to personally handle the transaction for them on the side.

He knew that this President Lu before him was a blank-slate potential VIP client.

What was a blank-slate potential VIP client? It was a wealthy individual with a massive deposit who hadn’t been courted by any competitors and hadn’t set up any special services yet.

These kinds of tycoons definitely had a lot of banking needs. Even if they just parked their money in the bank, whichever manager helped them would get credit for the deposit on their performance review.

After all, attracting deposits was part of their job.

Such tycoons might have transferred from other banks, they might be newly rich, or they might have inherited a fortune... whatever the case, with a deposit of over 300 million, a client like this would automatically qualify for ICBC’s highest-tier Peony Black Gold Dragon Card.

For a client like this, it wasn’t just a matter of respectful reception. If he needed it, the bank could arrange to have someone pick up his kids from school every day.

Of course, the source of the client’s funds had to be legitimate.

And as it happened, he had just received a report and seen the deposit information for this President Lu. The money came from a jewelry transaction, and what’s more, the transfer originated from ICBC’s own headquarters, from several registered "super cards."

In other words, the funds were completely clean.

With a blank-slate potential tycoon walking right through his door, Cheng Long felt like he had hit the jackpot. Besides, anyone who could handle a jewelry deal of this magnitude was bound to have huge business ventures in the future.

"President Lu, let’s exchange contact information. From now on, if you need any banking services, just give me a call directly. I’ll personally handle it for you with the utmost speed," Cheng Long said, respectfully exchanging numbers with Lu Feng.

Lu Feng naturally didn’t refuse. He had heard that the bigger your deposit, the better the bank’s service. He’d only heard about it before; now he was experiencing it firsthand.

Before long, Lu Feng’s business was concluded, and a transfer of 1.75 million appeared in both Yang Ming’s and Chen Bo’s accounts.

When Lu Feng left, Yang Ming was also carrying a 30-inch suitcase containing two million in cash.

And, of course, Lu Feng now had ICBC’s top-tier Peony Black Gold Dragon Card in his hand.

If you pulled that card out, someone who didn’t know what it was might not think much of it. But anyone in the know would immediately look at you differently.

In other words, at those high-end parties and lavish banquets, if you whipped out this card, you wouldn’t even have to chase women. It would just be a matter of how good your stamina was and how many wannabe models you could handle in one night.

After leaving the bank, Lu Feng returned to the hotel with Yang Ming and Chen Bo.

Once they were in the suite, Lu Feng had Yang Ming and Chen Bo gather all the guys who had accompanied them on this trip.

No matter how you looked at it, these men had come out to handle business with him.

To put it simply, these men had come with his cousin Yang Ming and Chen Bo, which meant they were trusted by them both.

Naturally, he was now their big boss, too.

Although nothing happened this time that required them to get their hands dirty, their presence was a show of force. As the big boss, he had to give them a cash bonus for their troubles.

That two million in cash was specifically for them. Asking for everyone’s bank account number would be too much trouble, and besides, their accounts might have been frozen anyway.

After all, he’d just closed a 350-million-yuan deal, all of which was pure profit. He wasn’t going to be stingy with two million.

Even with his abilities, it wouldn’t have made much difference if these men hadn’t been there.

But to be honest, sometimes guys like these were more useful than regular bodyguards.

A bodyguard might not be willing to do certain things for you, but when push came to shove, these men would.

Besides, when you’re dealing with things like gold transactions, having a crew to back you up really can prevent trouble. That was a fact.

Once everyone had gathered, Lu Feng said to Yang Ming, "Cousin, go ahead and divide that two million among the guys." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Yang Ming nodded, immediately opened the suitcase, and revealed the stacks of cash inside.

You had to admit, the sight of two million in cash laid out in front of you had a real impact.

"Alright, line up! One by one," Chen Bo shouted, a huge grin on his face.

Even though it was Young Master Feng’s money, handing out huge stacks of it was still a thrill.

The men they had brought, including Ah Pao and Da Fei, had their faces instantly light up with joy.

With two million in cash to be divided, each man would get around 100,000. Every one of them excitedly clutched their stacks of cash, looking at Lu Feng with an indescribable reverence in their eyes.

At that moment, if anyone had dared to say a single bad word about Lu Feng, they would not have stood for it.
