Chapter 616 - 293: Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover! (Part 2)
Fang Qi continued to watch Jiang Tao’s figure disappear at the doorway before retracting her gaze, her mind filled with unsettled thoughts.
"President Jiang appears to have turned into a completely different person."
"That LV casual set he wore must have cost at least thirty to forty thousand."
"Han Lin personally came out to greet him, indicating that his deposits at our branch must be in the tens of millions!"
"It’s true you can’t judge a book by its cover!"
Having not seen him for a long time, upon meeting again, Fang Qi’s impression of Jiang Tao underwent a transformative change.
Inside the VIP reception room for major clients of the Industrial Bank.
After entering the room, Jiang Tao sat down on the black leather sofa against the wall.
Han Lin diligently brewed him a cup of bright, clear tea.
The strong aroma of the tea wafted around, clearly indicating it wasn’t cheap.
After making the tea, Han Lin sat across from Jiang Tao with her legs together, her smile as soothing as a spring breeze.
"President Jiang, I’ve just activated your stock account."
"You’ll need to personally sign several proxy contracts for the agency permissions."
"Here are the contracts I’ve printed out for you to review."
While speaking, Han Lin handed over the prepared contracts to Jiang Tao, her smile enthusiastic and respectful.
Jiang Tao’s Industrial Bank card currently "hoards" over 10 million, almost 20 million, in cash.
This amount firmly establishes him as a major client at the bank’s Longze branch.
In some online novels, some rich bosses and constantly upstaged second-generation rich antagonists often flaunt assets worth tens of millions or even billions.
Some may even boast of hundreds, or thousands, or trillions of wealth.
Without a net worth of several billion, they wouldn’t dare to claim to be protagonists.
But in reality, having a deposit of ten to twenty million like Jiang Tao makes the bank treat you with utmost respect.
Han Lin is Jiang Tao’s exclusive financial advisor arranged by the bank.
Whether Jiang Tao wants to withdraw funds, make large transfers, or purchase financial products,
he can directly contact Han Lin via WeChat, who will handle it through exclusive channels.
For ordinary people withdrawing 50,000 yuan, the bank would ask them for a usage explanation and require various forms filled out.
There’s also the daily bank card transfer limit of 50,000 to 500,000 yuan.
For Jiang Tao, as long as his daily operations don’t exceed ten million, they can be quickly processed through special approval channels.
"Let me take a look."
Jiang Tao picked up the contracts and symbolically flipped through them, not suspecting the bank would deceive him here.
A long-term stable cooperative relationship is based on mutual sincerity.
Rustle, rustle, swoosh—
Jiang Tao briskly skimmed through the contracts, roughly finishing in about five minutes.
"No problem."
After the quick review, Jiang Tao swiftly picked up a pen and signed his name in the ’party B’ section on several documents.
Watching Jiang Tao’s straightforwardness, Han Lin’s admiration for this young millionaire grew even more.
Her eyes couldn’t help but survey Jiang Tao’s face and body.
Over time, as his Charm Value rapidly increased, Jiang Tao’s originally high attractiveness soared even more.
Although he’s already 31 this year, having reached middle age,
his looks have not diminished but rather increased, making him more appealing than in his twenties.
The current Jiang Tao exudes the allure of a mature man even more than in his youth.
Coupled with his steady confidence and subtle sharpness, it’s no wonder women find him captivating.
Not to mention, the primary attraction: his rapidly expanding wealth.
Money emboldens a man and is his best "cosmetic."
If you possess billions or trillions, 99% of women globally would likely want to bear your children.
Han Lin primarily handles the bank’s major clients. While dealing with millionaires is not uncommon for her,
her portfolio even includes billionaires.
Jiang Tao might not be the wealthiest or youngest in her clientele, but he’s definitely the most handsome!
Furthermore, as his Constitution Value grows, even with minimal exercise, Jiang Tao’s body becomes nearer to perfection.
Chest muscles, biceps, triceps, eight-pack abs, the pelvic bone line.
How attractive and captivating Jiang Tao is without clothes is only known to Xu Li and Yuan Mengqi.
"Manager Han?"
After signing the contracts, Jiang Tao waved his hand in front of the somewhat dazed Han Lin.
"Oh, uh, sorry, President Jiang, I just... I zoned out a bit."
Jiang Tao’s motion brought Han Lin back to reality, a blush spreading across her pretty face as she tucked her hair behind her ear to mask her embarrassment.
Jiang Tao was not surprised at Han Lin’s reaction.
A man’s excessive charm indeed brings a delightful kind of trouble!
Within just five minutes,
Jiang Tao transferred 6 million to the securities account under the bank’s proxy.
The entire amount would be invested in Shanghai Airlines’ stock for long-term retention.
Previously, Jiang Tao had limited stock market experience, dabbling modestly on Alipay with amounts no greater than hundreds of thousands.
However, with this investment requiring 6 million,
it was best to open an account at a brokerage and get a professional manager for operations.
Or, as he was doing now, have banking assistance handle the proxy.
Although it involves a fee, it saves time, effort, and stress.
Jiang Tao had many tasks to do every day.
Which is why he considered having Han Lin oversee this investment plan with Shanghai Airlines.
According to intelligence from Brother Tongzi, Shanghai Airlines is expected to surge by 61% within the next seven months.
Though the exact peak and decline remain uncertain, it mattered little to Jiang Tao.
Ultimately, whether it rises or dips, he intends to hold it long-term.
When the right moment for selling arrives, the Daily Intelligence System would provide a cue.
Despite risks, he’d secure a profit ranging from three to four million.
He’d only need to allocate a small fraction of his profits as a fee for the bank and comfortably enjoy his leisure, waiting to count money.
Why not?
Jiang Tao had gained a broader perspective; delegating as much as possible whenever feasible.
He preferred not to personally tackle everything, avoiding being insanely busy every single day.
Han Lin’s admiration for Jiang Tao deepened seeing his extravagant actions.
Handsome, fit, loaded with wealth.
Such high profile and high net-worth clients like Jiang Tao make a perfect suitor!
Alas!
Han Lin was aware that Jiang Tao was currently married.
Even if she greatly admired him, her upbringing prevented her from interfering with someone’s marriage.
Honestly speaking, she’s had numerous offers for sponsorship from clients over the years, beyond counting on both hands, yet she kindly declined them all.
"Take care, President Jiang. Feel free to call if you need anything."
Han Lin cheerfully escorted Jiang Tao out after wrapping up the transaction.
"Thank you, Manager Han."
Jiang Tao courteously remarked to Han Lin before striding towards his Mercedes G-Class parked near the bank’s entrance.
The last stop this morning was the Ritz-Carlton Hotel near the CBD of East Fourth Ring Road in Chaoyang District, Beijing.
Yesterday’s intelligence suggested that the Ritz-Carlton intended to upgrade the hotel’s bedding.
And the [Insomnia Terminator] would be highly favored by the management.
Jiang Tao planned to try meeting with the hotel’s management to offer several complimentary [Insomnia Terminator] pillows.
Based on recent practical experiences,
clients who tried the [Insomnia Terminator] had a 100% repeat purchase rate!
Bai Yulan and Du Enan even used these pillows as corporate gifts for significant clients.
Their orders alone from Jiang Tao for [Insomnia Terminators] almost exceeded 100 pieces.
11:38 a.m.
The G-Class slowly pulled into the underground parking of the Ritz-Carlton.
After parking, Jiang Tao and Jia Guolin, carrying a shopping bag, took the elevator to the accommodation department on the third floor.
Upon exiting the elevator, observing the luxurious décor of the hotel lobby, Jia Guolin silently whispered.
Indeed, luxury finds its justification!
