Chapter 45 Reincarnation Is a Science

In Chicago, the news that William Dever boarded the plane has reached Li Zitao's ears. After hanging up the phone, Li Zitao got up from his seat, "Jessie."

"BOSS." Jesse, who was wearing small heels, ran in, and when he was about to kick the legs of the table, his toes naturally crossed the S shape, successfully avoiding the nightmare of kissing again.

"Accompany me to the banquet tonight, Sanelle has something to do." Looking up and down at the cute blonde, Li Zitao rubbed his chin and asked, "Do you have any suitable clothes?"

"Ah?" Blinking his eyes blankly, Jesse thought for a long time, tilted his head and asked, "Is the long dress for the graduation reception okay?"

"..." Li Zitao was in complete despair, how blind he was to agree to let her stay.

"Let's go, I'll take you to buy clothes." It takes 5 hours from New York to Chicago, and it's more than enough to buy a suitable dress.

Looking at her long golden hair that was casually draped, she thought to herself, "Let's do another hair."

Originally, he wanted to find Saniel. Compared to this confused secretary, the capable, shrewd, mature and feminine Saniel was more suitable as tonight's dance partner.

It's a pity that these two days are the end of the harvest season, and the entire think tank is busy, and Sanil can't get out at all.

During the gorgeous mile, Li Zitao found that he came here more and more times. In just one month, he has come here for the fourth time.

This is not in line with the positioning of the salted fish. I am afraid that it is too fast to drink water and swell?

After getting out of the car, Jesse was dazzled by the rows of luxury stores on both sides of the road, and he was in a state of sleepwalking.

You must know that in any store here, any piece of clothing, bags, or jewelry is enough to offset her annual salary.

"Hurry up, all you have to do is..." Li Zitao raised his hand habitually, and when he saw his bare wrist, he remembered that the high-quality imitation A-brand Patek Philippe that he bought for 800 in his previous life had long since disappeared.

"Wait for me there later." Stretching his finger to the cafe diagonally opposite, Li Zitao took out a metal card from his pocket and handed it to Jesse, then turned and walked across.

He is going to buy a pocket watch or a wristwatch. Wristwatches in this era are not very popular. Aristocrats and men stubbornly believe that wristwatches are something worn by women. A watch with a thin strap and light weight is not enough at all. Demonstrate their status and nobility.

"???" Jesse, who was left in place, was like a lost cute cat, looking at the metal card in his hand with a cute face, shivering in the cold wind.

jingle bell~~

"Ma'am, do you need help?" The high-end women's dress shop behind opened the door, and the owner of the shop, who behaved elegantly like a lady, said with a smile.

Nodding quickly, Jesse, who was completely confused about the situation, was pulled into the store by this kind-looking woman.

"Please tell me what kind of clothes you need, we can tailor it for you, but...it may take some time, you can also choose among these clothes,

These clothes are all from the hands of famous designers in Paris, Chanel, Schiaparelli, you know, she is called the Venus of fashion in Paris,

This dress, which was made by the fashion master Paul, made the ladies in Paris scramble for it as soon as it was born..."

The noble lady introduced a dazzling array of dresses, and when she glanced at the metal card, her eyes unnaturally burst out with envy and greed.

The aristocratic gold card issued by the First National Bank of Chicago, if you want to own such a card, your personal assets must be at least 5 million US dollars, "What a fat fish." '

The VIP Gold Card is the highest-level credit card issued by the First National Bank of Chicago. Such a metal card is a hundred times more noble than any diamond or black card in later generations.

There are no more than 15 people in Illinois who have this card, and if the restrictions on cross-state development of banks are removed, only 50 people in the United States are eligible to have this card.

As long as it is in a store that supports consumption,

You can spend as you like by showing this card, and all expenses will be advanced by the First National Bank afterwards, with an unlimited amount.

Of course, this infinite is just an exaggerated metaphor, because for now, even if you evacuate all the stores that support consumption, the consumption will not exceed several million.

But having such a card means that the entire First National Bank of Chicago will guarantee the consumption of the card owner, no matter how much he spends.

The First National Bank of Chicago stands behind the Chicago consortium, one of the eight major consortiums in the United States, and this bank is the economic entity of its consortium.

As early as the early 20th century in the United States, the first oilfield credit card issued by an oilfield company began to enter the era of credit card consumption.

By the end of the 1920s, the American people had purchased 6 billion dollars worth of goods with credit cards, while the output value of the entire society at that time was only 2 billion dollars.

The Great Depression will become more and more serious, and the impact will last for a full decade, because the overdraft consumption ability and concept of American citizens are too strong.

As the old saying goes, 'Hearts are so fucking big, a stuffed pig can't fill them up. '

When the Great Depression came, First National Bank of Chicago made a series of big moves, such as raising the current interest rate to 18 percent and re-rating customers.

Stop any loan business, and jointly speak with the McCormick family. First National Bank's savings fund is 2 billion dollars, and it is fully capable of weathering any difficulties.

This is not the time to hide their clumsiness. Every bank can't wait to exaggerate its capital ten times or a hundred times, so as to reassure its customers and prevent them from following the footsteps of a run.

Banks play with savings funds, and no matter how large a bank is, they will be afraid of crazy runs, except for central banks that can print money, such as the Federal Reserve.

Of course, if that's the case, the US knife will depreciate into a pile of waste paper.

No: 00018, the only noble gold card issued by the First National Bank of Chicago after the stock market crash.

According to the information received by the lady, the identity of the owner of this card is very mysterious, and even the senior management of the bank is only known to a few people.

But First National Bank President Aiken once said, "The owner of the No. 18 Gold Card will be one of the most honored guests of our bank during the Great Depression."

So what's there to worry about, in a time when the economy is tight and everyone is tightening their belts, being able to meet such a big fish is like being hit by a pie for her.

"Are these all okay?" Turning around in the store, Jesse's pupils became brighter and brighter as the eyelids blinked.

"It's so beautiful, I seem to want it, I want it all..." Little Misty was already dazed.

"Of course, you can choose as you like." The lady covered her mouth with her hands and smiled.

"All... all wrapped up." Jessie can guarantee that when she said this, she absolutely did not think about it, not even for a second.

After signing his name and stamping the card in the box containing the ink pad, Jessie walked out of the store contentedly, and the things he just purchased will be delivered later.

"Hee hee, this card is amazing, let's try the next one." Smirking like a little fox, Jesse looked up at Tiffany beside her with jewels shining in his eyes.

Li Zitao didn't know yet that the bewildered secretary was turning into a gold digger, squandering around with his cards, looking like he was going to buy out all of Magnificent Mile.

At this moment, he is sitting in an antique shop full of the sense of the times, picking out his favorite pocket watch. Li Zitao is interested in many things here.

Especially those dusty porcelain vases and picture scrolls placed on the top shelf. He also seemed to see a snuff bottle full of cobwebs, which was definitely suet jade.

"Sir, this pocket watch comes from Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire. It was handed down for Charles V by the watchmakers of the entire D country at that time, after brainstorming."

Holding a pocket watch made of sterling silver, engraved with the double-headed eagle of the Habsburg family emblem, and a ruby ​​embedded in the middle of the watch cover, the old man sitting behind the low table blew it was called a cheer.

Li Zitao also listened with great interest. Although he didn't know if the origin of this pocket watch was real, there was no doubt about the knowledge of the old man opposite.

Let's listen to the life experience of Charles V again. His father is Philip I, his mother is the queen of Castile, his grandfather is Ferdinand I of Aragon, and his grandmother is Elizabeth I.

The combination of his grandparents created the founding of Spain, and then his grandfather was Maximilian I, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, and his grandmother was the Duke of the Principality of Burgundy.

He is also King Carlos I of Spain, monarch of the Netherlands, king of Germany, Holy Roman Emperor, and a member of the Habsburg dynasty.

"Holding the grass, counting this guy's close relatives, they can almost make up half a century of history, and this is a winner in life!" Li Zitao was dumbfounded.

‘Reincarnation is indeed a science, posture is very important. ’ Feeling silently in his heart, Li Zitao interrupted the eloquent old man, "How much?"

"Hey, sir, you really have a vision. This handed down item only costs 20,000 US dollars, which is definitely worth the money. If it weren't for you and me, I wouldn't take it out.

To know that historically speaking, it is truly priceless..."

The old man's faults have recurred, and Li Zitao's embarrassment has also occurred. He has a sense of sight when he meets a white-bearded grandfather on the street.

"Young man, today you and I are destined. I see that your heaven is full and your bones are amazing. I have a cheat book here. The mission of defending world peace is entrusted to you..."

"West, I want it." Li Zitao rubbed his forehead and said.

"What? Wait, where did I just say that?" Wyster licked his dry lips intently, unable to hear what he said clearly.

"I said, 20,000 dollars, I want it." Li Zitao raised his voice.

West was a little confused, and only realized after a while, "Do you really want it?"

"That's right, 20,000 dollars, I want it." Li Zitao took out the check book, signed 20,000 dollars and put it on his desk.

"But I have a request. The crock pots above were given to me as a gift. You see, I am a Chinese and I want something from my hometown."

Li Zitao pointed to the porcelain vases on the shelf, deliberately belittling their value with 'earth pots'.

West ignored him at all, but rubbed his thumb against the pocket watch in his hand, looking down at the scratched pocket watch with deep reluctance in his eyes.
