    Wang Geng glanced at Kelly and said with a smile, "When you told me this morning, I was really afraid that guy would write me a bad check." He took out a check from his arms and flicked it casually.  Handed it to the lobby manager and said,

    "First check the authenticity of this check for me. Is there any problem? Can it be cashed at any time? These days, there are fewer and fewer businessmen who want to be as honest as your company, so be careful!"

    Kelly chuckled and said, "Edison must have gone crazy when he heard you say that. He would give someone a crappy invention in exchange for $50,000! And you're still worried about people cheating on you! I'm actually worried that he was cheated by you!"

    Freeman was secretly surprised, a $50,000 cash check?  This guy didn't accept the check. Instead, he took out a pair of gauze white gloves from his pocket and put them on, showing a trace of rigor and meticulousness.

    The lobby manager carefully took the crumpled check from Wang Geng¡¯s hand with gloved hands.

    Soon, he raised the check and looked at the sunshine outside the window, then flattened it and looked at the face of the note. Freeman said respectfully,

    "It is indeed a cash check from Morgan Company. The signature should be Mr. Thomas Edison's, but to be cautious, we have to check his reserved signature. This is a cash check for fifty thousand US dollars, of course.  . In fact, we have to check whether Mr. Thomas Edison¡¯s account in our company has enough balance to pay, please wait!¡±

    The lobby manager walked backwards to the door to the inner room, nodded and saluted Wang Geng and Kaili, then carefully held the check in his hand, closed the door and went in.

    Damn it, this JP Morgan company is obviously an investment and savings bank, but it doesn¡¯t call it a bank and insists on calling it a company. Wang Geng cursed in his heart and said to Kelly,

    ¡°Isn¡¯t that old man Edison so confused that he doesn¡¯t know how much money is left in his account?!¡±

    Kelly smiled and said, "JP Morgan owns shares of General Electric, so they are not afraid that Edison's account will have no money, but I guess the lobby manager must be calling Edison to check and ask him if he has ever opened such a car."  Here¡¯s a big check for you liar!¡±

    "Who is the liar? You are the liar. You said you only drink coffee, but you followed me to the bank. Do you want to follow me when I go to Pfizer?" Wang Geng said angrily.

    "Go!"

    "Then I'm going to the bathroom!"

    "Go! What if you run away! Of course I have to follow!"

    "Surrender! Why don't I surrender? I've surrendered to you!"

    A pair of young men were arguing with each other in the VIP reception room of Morgan Company!

    Soon after, the lobby manager Freeman opened the door to the inner room and came out with a happy face. He held the check in his hand and said to Wang Geng with a smile,

    "Mr. Edison's account has enough balance to cash this check. Sir, do you want to withdraw cash or open a personal account with our company and transfer the money directly?"

    "Withdraw cash?" Wang Geng thought of the million-pound story in his previous life. Obviously, his check of only fifty thousand US dollars was not enough to look cool, although it was equivalent to more than thirty years of work for a Ford automobile worker.  Total revenue.

    "Wang Geng, why do you need so much cash? These days, no one except gangsters and drug dealers will go out with so much cash! It's better to be careful!" Kelly said anxiously, grabbing Wang Geng's hand. The girl was really afraid of this guy.  Walking through the market carrying $50,000 in cash!

    "Sir, do you still know your surname? The reputation and service of our Morgan Company are second to none in the United States. You can open a personal account with Morgan Company or entrust us with financial management. Nowadays, there are many trust investment projects with very high returns.  Not bad!" Freeman said calmly from the side.

    "His name is Wang Geng! Why don't you read the newspaper?" Miss Kelly answered first from the side. As she said this, she reached out and pulled off the scarf that Wang Geng was still wearing around her face!

    "Heyyou girl" Wang Geng cursed in his heart, I wanted to open an account under a false name, but now you are messing with everything.

    "It turns out to be Mr. Wang Geng, the hero who jumped into the Brooklyn Bridge to save people. I am so disrespectful! It is our honor at JP Morgan to serve you!"

    In fact, when Freeman called Edison just now, he already knew that this check was issued by Edison to Wang Geng last night, but since the guest had his face covered, he had to wait until he announced his name, otherwise  But it's disrespectful.

    ¡°If you don¡¯t cash it out, how much annual interest will you get if you open a deposit account with Morgan?¡± Wang Geng asked directly.

    In fact, with the outbreak of World War I, European overseas capital surged into the United States, which was not affected by the war, which gave the U.S. economy? has brought unprecedented prosperity, and in order to attract more capital, long-term interest rates in the United States are rising rapidly.

    "The average three-year deposit interest rate in the United States is now 5%. It was 4% a year ago, and it may continue to rise to 6% or even higher a year later!" Freeman told the truth.

    "That's it? What's 6% enough for? The world war has ended three years ago. You are delaying my fortune!" Wang Geng sounded like he was joking.

    "Well, it is safer to just make a deposit and there is no risk. Of course, we also have many trust investment projects, with annual returns averaging 10% to 20%. Of course, there are risks and there may be losses!"

    Freeman said calmly, now he was sure to convince the New York hero who had somehow obtained $50,000 from Edison.

    "The advantage of a yellow race man is to open a small shop in New York's Chinatown and work hard to earn some hard-earned money. When it comes to the threshold and rules of financial management and investment, how can he be the opponent of himself, the lobby manager of JP Morgan headquarters.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you have a pension annuity project here?¡± Kelly asked from the side.

    "Of course, Mr. Wang Geng is in his early twenties this year. If we do a thirty-year pension annuity deposit project, the annual interest we can give is 8%. Of course, the principal cannot be used during these thirty years. If it is forcibly suspended,  If so, the punitive damages clause will bring unnecessary losses to the client," Freeman said with a smile.

    "It doesn't need to be so complicated. In this way, you don't need to cash out the $50,000. You can directly open an account at JP Morgan and transfer it. You need a current deposit, but the service level must be the highest. I believe this $50,000 is just a small amount."  It's just the beginning," Wang Geng said confidently.

    ¡°You¡¯re not planning to spend the $50,000 in one go like a nouveau riche, are you?¡±

    Kelly blinked her big eyes and looked at Wang Geng. From the bottom of her heart, the girl didn't like Wang Geng's bad habit of spending money like a nouveau riche.

    "By the way, bring me a thousand dollars in cash, preferably less than twenty dollars. The rest should be deposited in the new account's current account. In addition, please prepare the checkbook for me," Wang Geng ordered the lobby.  manager.

    The guy turned around and said to Kelly with a smile,

    "I don't want to give up my child, but I can't trap a wolf. A mere fifty thousand dollars is negligible for what I want to do. I'm going to discuss a big deal later, and it may take a long time. Do you want to give it to you first?"  Go back to the hospital?¡±

    "Don't even think about it. I'm your personal nurse. I'll be wherever you go today! There's no way you can do it alone!" Kelly turned her head and pouted.

    "As you wish, I will ask someone to help you complete all the procedures. Well, you fully meet the conditions of our company's VIP customers. There will be a full-time account manager in charge of your account. Of course there is no problem with the check book. Please  "Wait a moment." The lobby manager nodded politely to the two of them and exited the room.

    "Here, how about a taste of this candy!" Kelly stood up from the opposite side of the sofa, took a few candies from the sugar bowl on the coffee table, and then walked over to Wang Geng and squeezed to sit down.

    The nurse peeled off the candy wrapper with skillful hands and handed the candy to Wang Geng's mouth, with shyness and expectation in her eyes.

This? Isn¡¯t This A Sugar-coated Cannonball That Is Guaranteed To Be A Guaranteed Cannon?

    ¡°Besides, you in the United States have a monogamous system, but I can¡¯t help it. I¡¯m Chinese now, and we have the habit of having three wives and four concubines. If you¡¯re not afraid of being wronged, just give it a try.

    While Wang Geng was thinking in his mind, he opened his mouth and bit the candy from the girl's hand. The touch between his lips and the girl's warm palm felt wonderful. Although the girl blushed with shame, she bravely looked into Wang Geng's eyes.  Without blinking.

    "What kind of candy is this? Is it sour or sweet?" Wang Geng frowned and asked, taking the candy wrapper from Kelly's hand and looking at it.

    "Huh? Doesn't it taste right? This is the imported lemon fruit candy produced by the British Cadbury Candy Company. I used to like it the most!" Kelly peeled off a candy and put it in her mouth.
