Chapter 515 Pre-opening preparations for the future bank

"You're here, let's get down to business!" Chen Yu took some time out of his busy schedule to receive Gu Jing from Future Bank!

"The construction of the future bank is fully completed, and all staff are in place. A total of US$672.87 billion has been invested in its infrastructure!" Gu Jing said directly after sitting down.

"So fast?! Did the bank cut corners on the safety pants?!" Chen Yu asked, somewhat surprised.

"No, because you provided the security doors and security systems for the insurance pants. Future Bank operates in 64 countries around the world, with 64 intermediate security centers, one in each country, and 64 special-grade branches, distributed according to the size of the country."

The first tier of 64 cities basically consists of one city from each of the world's top 64 cities.

There are 40,000 level 2 units! Basically, there's one in any area with a population of 2 million!

There are 100,000 Level 3 ATMs! As for 24-hour unmanned automated deposit and withdrawal machines, there are 400,000.

All of the facilities at Level 1 and above have adopted the bank security doors and vault construction plan you provided. The entire gold reserve is constructed from 1.8-meter-thick special high-quality steel, in conjunction with our security technology.

Meanwhile, many of the future bank's staff will be recruited directly from university campuses, as well as young people recruited from other banks around the world.

The political background checks were all conducted by Da Bao. As for the management, they were simply poached, so the cost was quite high.

"Because our security center is run by Da Bao and Libra," Gu Jingdao said.

Libra is the system wizard Chen Yu gave to his future bank; its primary function is to protect data security. It can prevent anyone from modifying backend data through unconventional channels.

"In nearly a year, at a cost of nearly 7 billion US dollars, it has been built in 64 countries around the world. That's quite an achievement. How much gold reserves do we have now?!" Chen Yu thought for a moment and asked.

"Because we have 12 gold mines around the world, mostly in Africa, plus the gold we purchase, we now have 1 tons," Gu Jingdao said.

"We'll continue to buy as much gold as we can, but if it goes over $92 a ounce, we'll halve the purchases! If it goes over $95 a ounce, we'll halve it again. Once it goes over $1 a ounce, we'll just keep the annual gold purchases and expenditures balanced! The rest will be used to purchase other precious metals. Compared to gold, I value other precious metals more; those are the real gold!" Chen Yu was still somewhat surprised to hear that they already had 1 tons of gold reserves.

However, all of this is thanks to the financial crisis he previously triggered, which caused a sharp drop in gold prices. At its lowest point, gold was approaching $800 per ounce. Currently, gold prices are recovering.

“I understand that. Besides, we have 12 gold mines to support us, and our annual output is several tens of tons. But when will we open for business?!” Gu Jing asked, which was the purpose of his visit to Chen Yu.

Future Bank has hundreds of thousands, even millions, of employees to support. Every day of delay means a loss!

"When are you planning to do it?!" Chen Yu asked after thinking for a moment.

"I'm planning to do it on May 1st, because every day we delay will result in a significant loss of funds!" Gu Jing said.

"Then let's make it May 1st. I'll have Gao Feiyan and the others fully cooperate with your operations! Also, prepare everything for the opening in these seven days. I'll see if I can invite some important figures to endorse Future Bank." Chen Yu nodded and said.

"Okay!" Gu Jing was much happier upon hearing this. He knew that if Chen Yu said someone was a big shot, then that person must be a big shot. Definitely not someone that a mayor or governor could compare to.

"Hmm, are you in a hurry to leave?!" Chen Yu asked.

"No rush, what's wrong?" Gu Jing asked.

"Since you're not in a hurry to leave, I'll have Gao Feiyan and the others drop everything and come over right away! Then you can explain things more clearly and in more detail!"

"Okay!" Gu Jing was naturally very happy to hear this.

Soon, Chen Yu, Gao Feiyan, Zhuge Yun, and others made phone calls. Except for Zhuge Yun, who was abroad and couldn't return in time, Gao Feiyan and Liang Wen were able to come over shortly.

Two hours later, Gao Feiyan and Liang Wen arrived at the room Chen Yu had booked, and at the same time, many staff members entered.

The room was thoroughly inspected, and some equipment was installed.

“For security reasons, I’ve implemented anti-eavesdropping measures. Zhuge Yun is currently in Great Britain and can’t come back, but that’s okay, we can have a video conference with him directly,” Gao Feiyan said to Gu Jing and Chen Yu.

Chen Yu nodded and said, "Understood! It's best to be careful!"

"Ok!"

Soon, Zhuge Yun's call was connected.

"Boss, I'm already on my way back, but it will probably take some time before I can get back to China," Zhuge Yun said.

"It's alright, we can just have a video conference. Now that everyone's here, I'll get straight to the point: the Future Bank is now fully operational, so it's time for the three of you to work together," Chen Yu said.

"So fast?!" Zhuge Yun exclaimed in surprise.

Gao Feiyan and Liang Wen were no better off.

"That's right, construction was completed in a total of 64 countries, with an investment of up to 70 billion US dollars. It can be said that it was built by sheer hard work before it was put into use."

As a grand opening gift for Future Bank, you absolutely have to show your support. Gao Feiyan, mobilize all of Crazy's promotional resources to publicize Future Bank. I want the whole world to know about Future Bank.

And Liang Wen, you too. Zhuge Yun, Zhanlong Technology has its own exclusive stores all over the world, all plastered with advertisements and posters for Future Bank.

At the same time, all your services should offer preferential rates for Future Bank! For example, when topping up, you can get a 30% or 40% discount if you use Future Bank.

The transaction funds will also go directly through Future Bank to ensure that our fund transfers remain undisclosed. Of course, we can't completely shut it down; we can offer some perks, such as providing some benefits for going through Future Bank.

The future banking system was designed with my personal involvement. Its security goes without saying, but most importantly, it allows for incredibly convenient transactions. This also coincides with Alipay's full-scale global expansion.

Seeing Gao Feiyan and the others' confusion, Chen Yu explained, "Alipay, as a quick payment method, currently has hundreds of millions of users in China. Almost all e-commerce websites in China support Alipay. I've noticed that Liang Wen couldn't resist the temptation and has started to enter this third-party payment field." Chen Yu chuckled softly.

After Chen Yu said that, Liang Wen gave an awkward smile.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. This market doesn't belong to Alipay alone, and Alipay's main focus is on payments. But have you considered that with the development of mobile social networking, social payments will become even more important?"
