Rebirth

Chapter 47 Citibank

In the early morning of the next day, Li Feng woke up early, ready to go to the Citibank Center at 444 South Flower Street (444 South Flower Street) in Los Angeles.

Even Li Feng is ignorant of this famous high-rise building in Los Angeles. After all, he has been in Los Angeles for more than 10 years and has long heard of it.

Yesterday I also deliberately learned that, as the second largest city in the United States, Citibank certainly has a headquarters building in Los Angeles.

The Citibank Center Tower in Los Angeles is 191 meters high and 48 floors. Los Angeles ranks the 10th tallest building. It was completed in 1979 and has a construction area of ​​more than 80,000 square meters. It is located in the business center near the landmark of Los Angeles, Pershing Square.

As for Pershing Plaza, anyone from Los Angeles or even California is familiar with it. It is one of the landmarks of Los Angeles and even California. It is a major place for residents of Los Angeles to live and entertain. The surrounding natural business is prosperous.

The Citibank Center is located here, all of which demonstrate its extraordinary status in the US.

......

Speaking of Citibank, it is definitely a big bank in the civilized world. Even the ignorant people have heard of Citibank. Citibank has always been the flagship of its parent company Citigroup.

The later "Citi Extreme Black Card" is known as the only black card comparable to the "Express Centurion Card", and is well-known for its unique service concept.

What really made Citi one of the bank representatives in the world was after it merged with the Traveller Group in 1998 to form the new Citigroup.

Citigroup has become the first financial group in the United States to integrate financial services such as commercial banks, investment banks, insurance, funds, and securities trading.

This merger is known as a model of the merger of financial groups. The original Citigroup was mainly commercial banks, and travelers mainly used financial insurance. After the merger, they complemented each other and became a comprehensive large financial group, which later became a large bank in the United States. The merger of the group made a good start.

For example, Morgan Stanley merged with Manhattan Chase Bank to become a **** bank, turning these financial giants into a comprehensive financial service group.

......

Citibank is naturally the flagship of Citigroup, allowing Citibank to establish its position in the financial banking industry.

Of course, Citibank has its ups and downs. For example, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, it almost went bankrupt. The world-famous Saudi Prince Wadley invested in Citibank in the 1990s and made it famous all over the world.

For example, after the subsequent subprime mortgage crisis, Citigroup almost went bankrupt again, and the US imperial government invested tens of billions of dollars to make Citigroup safe.

At its peak, Citigroup had a market value of RMB 300 to RMB 400 billion and controlled more than US$2 trillion in assets. It was called the First Citibank Consortium and one of the famous American consortiums.

......

And why did Li Feng choose Citi instead of banks such as Americas (the later Bank of America) and Wells Fargo which also have great influence in the United States.

For one thing, I can be regarded as being influenced by Citi in later generations. Many people in later generations may not have heard of Bank of America and Wells Fargo, but they must have heard of Citibank. Although the strength of the Bank of America and Wells Fargo is no less than that of Citi, or even stronger than Citi.

Think about the future generations of the subprime mortgage crisis, Citi needs the aid of the U.S. government to tide over the difficulties, while Bank of America and Wells Fargo are taking the opportunity to acquire and expand. You know that the strength of these two banks is definitely no less than Citi or even surpassing Citi. .

Secondly, Li Feng knows that Citi’s financial services are better, especially the personalized services for the super-rich. Think about why the Citi Black Card is called the American Express Centurion Black Card comparable to the "King of Black Cards" Just know.

Li Feng is very confident that he must be one of the super rich in the future, and the upcoming Netscape IPO plan to collect money will also require a professional stock operation team.

However, it would be too much trouble for Li Feng to do it himself, and Citigroup can easily solve these troubles for Li Feng.This is also the reason why Li Feng came to the Citibank Center this time. Otherwise, he would not have thought of going to the headquarters with a few million deposits.

......

When the three of Li Feng arrived at the Citibank Center, Billy Zhang was already waiting for Li Feng and them at the door.

"Hello, Mr. St. John Lee, this is Billy Zhang, the account manager of Citibank. I am glad to meet you."

Obviously, when Billy Zhang saw the three of them coming, he greeted Li Feng directly, he should already know himself.

I have to feel that Lao Mei’s service industry is too developed. I turned out to be an ordinary account opening. Because I suddenly saw a huge amount of money of tens of millions, I immediately recognized it when I saw someone for the first time. Obviously, I had investigated myself.

Li Feng also shook hands with him, responded, and then introduced Zac, saying that he was a temporary guardian and part-time private lawyer, and Bob was said to be a bodyguard.

Okay, after listening to Li Feng's introduction, Billy still stayed for a while, thinking about which he thought he was an orphan with a private lawyer and bodyguard. Who would have thought that Li Feng was an orphan.

Looking at Billy Zhang, who was obviously of Chinese descent, Li Feng smiled.Through conversations, I learned that Citi, through Li Feng’s name, considered that he might be of Chinese descent. Therefore, Zhang Billy was only allowed to receive him.

It can be seen from this that these banks really worked hard for a senior customer.

......

Billy took Li Feng directly to an office on the second floor. Through conversations, I learned that Li Feng is needed to upgrade the account level this time, and Li Feng’s signature is required.Originally, Li Feng thought that this needed to be done in the lobby of the bank, but it was all done in the office.

Of course, Zac came in handy at this time, and Zac checked each time before signing. After all, Li Feng knew that the bank was not so kind, and which bank in later generations did not burst into various scandals from time to time.

Put away the checkbook, bank cards and some documents. In this way, Li Feng became a top VIP user of Citigroup, the so-called platinum card customer.

With a brand-new checkbook and a new credit card, Li Feng thought that we are also the ones who can sign checks. Thinking about the plots of the movies in the past life, he always signs checks. Now he feels a bit of a real start to enter the life of the rich. .

In addition to checkbooks and platinum credit cards, I thought it was not a black card, and I don't know if I will be invited when the black card is launched.

I have been hearing about black cards in my previous life, but unfortunately, there is no black card in the world. When the black card is released, the king of black cards such as Citigroup and American Express has to get a few, and it is best to use them to install 13.

Thinking of the various face-slap-slap plots in the legends of later generations, I couldn't help but laugh, making Zac and others surprised for a while, thinking that Citi Jinka is so happy.

After all the upgrade procedures were completed, Li Feng was ready to say business.

......

"Billy, I said on the phone yesterday that I need a real estate agent. I wonder if you can arrange it for me?"

"Mr. Li, I have contacted the real estate agent. If necessary, I can call someone over at any time.

But I heard that you want to buy a house. Our asset management department asked me to ask. Our bank also has houses. Some of them are under bank custody and some are mortgaged. They can be sold directly.I don’t know if you think it is feasible?"

"Well, this is okay, you can see if there is a suitable one, you can directly decide it. So, let me set a price, within 3 or 4 million, preferably in Beverly Hills, Hollywood "Li Feng replied after thinking about it.

"Thank you, that's the best, then wait a minute, I'll call there and ask them to bring real estate information for your reference." After speaking, he picked up the phone and dialed.

......

Seeing the other party's hurried situation, Li Feng smiled helplessly, and he could only wait for the other party to arrange stock operators.
