December 31st is the last day of the 890th year of the Black Iron Calendar. The festive atmosphere of the entire Black Flame City reaches its peak on this day. This day is also the best business day of the year for many merchants in the Black Flame City. After this day,
One day later, three days before the arrival of the New Year, many businesses will close for a few days, so on this day, even people who rarely buy things will go out and make a big purchase today.
For many people, this day is a day to reunite with their families. Zhang Tie, who is alone in Black Flame City, has a rare free time today. He has no other arrangements for the whole day. Many things will have to wait until the new year.
After that, he could slowly push forward. Zhang Tie also put aside other things and gave all his time to Beverly for the day.
Barry's father has not yet decided on leaving Black Flame City, but today, Zhang Tie must first overcome this hurdle at Beverly's house. Beverly had already proposed to her parents yesterday
After a while, Beverly's parents were also a little worried about leaving Black Flame City and suddenly going to a strange and distant place, and they couldn't make up their mind.
Beverly's mother is a typical housewife, and her father is an accountant. If her parents are unwilling to leave, then Beverly will not follow Zhang Tie alone.
Beverly is very happy today. She has been like a happy bird since she came up this morning, circling around Zhang Tie. After having breakfast in the hotel room, Zhang Tie took her away.
restaurant to pick out New Year gifts for her and her parents. After choosing, Zhang Tie took these items to Beverly's home for a formal visit and had a more formal communication with her parents.
After the special car of the Black Gold Hotel took Zhang Tie to Mingguang Street, the two of them began to pick things up on Mingguang Street.
Mingguang Street on this day is probably the busiest day of the year. There are many times more people coming and going on the street than usual.
Because he didn’t know what Beverly’s parents liked and what was most suitable, Zhang Tie gave Beverly the right to choose. Just let Beverly choose the things while he was responsible for paying the bills. When the woman he likes
Zhang Tie feels that spending money on himself is a kind of enjoyment, but giving gifts is a science, and it is not simply related to the amount of money spent. For the first time, the things were too casual, it seemed that there was no sincerity and intention, and they were too expensive.
It's also not good, it makes people feel domineering, and Beverly also knows this. So when she and Zhang Tie were choosing gifts, they didn't choose expensive things like jewelry.
The two of them walked around the streets for a long time. In the end, Zhang Tie gave Beverly her father a very expensive gold pen, worth about 4 gold coins, and gave it to Beverly's mother.
A women's mink fur coat is worth a little over 3 gold coins.
After selecting their things, the two got back in the car. Beverly was very happy and wanted to take Zhang Tie home with her.
"Your parents' gifts have been picked out, but yours hasn't been given yet!" Zhang Tie kissed Beverly's face with some affection.
"Ah, I have a gift too?"
"certainly!"
"What is it?"
"I won't tell you yet, you'll know after a while!" After talking to Beverly, Zhang Tie asked the driver to drive to Jinpeng Bank.
In a VIP room of Jinpeng Bank that exclusively serves Chinese people, a supervisor from the bank received Zhang Tie. Beverly also came in with Zhang Tie.
"Mr. Zhang Tie, this is the reply to the message you sent through us yesterday. Please sign for it!" Upon seeing Zhang Tie, the polite bank supervisor directly handed a sealed letterhead to Zhang Tie and asked him to
Zhang Tie signed his name on a receipt.
Seeing Zhang Tie about to open the letter, the supervisor took two steps back to avoid suspicion, "Do you want us to provide you with a separate confidentiality room?"
"No need!" Zhang Tie smiled and read the information on the letterhead at a glance - the information was sent by his brother, and it also used the code language agreed by the two people. This code language is not considered advanced, but it can be seen by ordinary people.
It’s not easy to understand what it means when you arrive.
The message from my brother through the crystal remote sensing communication system of Jinpeng Bank is that a large cucumber has been sent from home. There are many burrs on the cucumber, 30,000 of them. It will arrive in K City in 7 days and be on standby.
——A large airship has taken off from Huaiyuan County. The airship has carried 30,000 full-effect potions as per your request. In 7 days, the airship will arrive at Karur, waiting for your order.
After reading the contents of this letter, Zhang Tie breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Zhang Tie, do you have any other requests?" the supervisor of Jinpeng Bank asked politely.
"Well, one more thing, I want to apply for a lifetime annuity deposit financial plan in your bank for this lady!" Zhang Tie glanced at Beverly, who was sitting next to him, and said to the supervisor with a smile.
Upon hearing Zhang Tie's words, Beverly said "Ah" in surprise and looked at Zhang Tie in surprise.
"Oh, okay, please wait a moment, we will let someone handle it for you!" The bank supervisor glanced at Beverly, then politely said goodbye and left.
Zhang Tie patted Beverly's hand and said, "Don't be so surprised, this is my New Year's gift to you!"
"This... this will cost a lot of money!" Beverly said hesitantly, "I think I don't want it anymore. Your coming back this time is the best gift for me. The candlelight dinner last night already made me very happy.
Now that I'm happy, let's go. I heard that this kind of annuity deposit financial management plan can only be done by the rich and big families in Black Flame City. I don't need it..."
Beverly said and stood up from the sofa. She took Zhang Tie's hand and was about to leave. Zhang Tie pulled Beverly gently and sat down. Zhang Tie pulled Beverly up.
She kissed the hand wearing the ruby ring he gave her and looked at Beverly seriously, "I said, as long as I can do it, I will definitely find a way to give you more!
"
"But...this is really unnecessary!"
"No, it's necessary, Beni. The world is very chaotic and will be even more chaotic in the future. No one knows what will happen tomorrow. If I die in the future or am no longer by your side, I can no longer protect you or take care of you. I
I hope you can live happily no matter where you are, live a life with dignity and security, and don’t have to worry about making money. In the eyes of many people, this may be vulgar, but this is indeed what I can think of at this moment.
The best thing for you!”
Beverly looked at Zhang Tie. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears. This was the man she loved. He was calm, passionate, direct, and never hypocritical. No matter at any time, he could always bring him the best.
He would give you the best thing he could have, even his life. When faced with a poisonous arrow, he would push you away without hesitation and let himself hit you.
"Stop crying, can you give me a smile? This will make me feel very accomplished at this moment!" Zhang Tie wiped away the tears on Beverly's face with his fingers and teased Beverly, "How about,
I’ll give you a smile!”
As he spoke, Zhang Tie rolled his eyes, puffed up his cheeks, and made a gorilla face towards Beverly, making her laugh all of a sudden.
Someone came in, and Beverly quickly lowered her head and wiped away the tears on her face.
…
"Hello, sir, I am the financial management specialist of Jinpeng Bank. I am happy to serve you. I heard that you need us to make a lifetime annuity deposit financial plan for the lady next to you?"
"Yes!"
"Can you tell me your requirements and some specific circumstances of this lady, so that I can make a suitable plan for you. You can choose a suitable deposit and financial plan based on the plan I give you!"
"I would like to ask first, what is the approximate per capita income of those cities in the Eastern Continent now?"
"The Eastern Continent is very prosperous and cannot be compared to the Blackson Human Corridor. According to our statistics, the per capita annual income of ordinary residents in Black Flame City last year was 10 gold coins and 76 silver coins. Some developed countries in the Blackson Human Corridor have
The per capita annual income can reach more than 30 gold coins. In the Eastern Continent, the per capita annual income of residents in most cities can reach more than 40 gold coins. The per capita annual income of residents in some very developed and prosperous areas of the Eastern Continent can reach
More than 200 gold coins! Of course, the Eastern Continent also has some relatively backward remote areas and rural areas with relatively closed economies, where people’s annual income is relatively small.”
"No, please calculate for me. If I want to receive an annuity of 2,000 gold coins from your bank every year, how much money do I need to deposit with you?"
"Is it a life annuity?"
"It's a life annuity!"
"Is the deposit made in one lump sum or in installments?"
"One-time deposit!"
“Will the collection time take effect immediately or in the future?”
"Immediately, it will take effect from tomorrow, January 1, 891 in the Black Iron Calendar!"
After listening to Zhang Tie's words, the financial management specialist quickly calculated on paper with a pen. He also flipped through a folder he carried with him from time to time to look at the table data inside, and quickly gave Zhang Tie's answer.
"In this case, this lifetime annuity deposit financial plan requires you to pay a one-time payment of 34,482 gold coins. Then, starting from tomorrow, this lady can get it at any branch of Jinpeng Bank on the first day of each quarter.
For the annuity installment income of 500 gold coins, we will open a special annuity account for this lady. We will transfer all her annuity into this account. The funds in this account will calculate interest based on current deposits. The 34,482 gold coins
The principal of the annuity can be inherited by this young lady by one or several heirs, or it can also be withdrawn in one lump sum when this lifelong annuity plan is terminated!"
After hearing these words, Zhang Tie simply took out four gold tickets from Jinpeng Bank with a face value of 10,000 gold coins each from the gold ticket holder on his clothes, "Then let's make this plan based on the annuity principal of 40,000 gold coins.
!”
"If the principal is 40,000 gold coins, this lady's annual annuity income is 2,320 gold coins, and the installment annuity income she can receive each quarter is 580 gold coins."
Zhang Tie nodded.
The next time was to go through the relevant procedures for Beverly. The financial specialist of Jinpeng Bank brought a metal clay template. After checking Beverly's palm, he asked Beverly to cut off her ten fingers.
Press your fingerprints on it.
"Everyone's ten fingerprints are different. After we collect this lady's fingerprints, we will extract the fingerprint characteristics of these ten fingers and convert them into an encrypted digital code account number, which will become the lady's account number in our bank.
We will transfer this number to the data processing center of the large-scale steam computer at the headquarters of Jinpeng Bank for storage. In this way, no matter which city this lady is in in the future, with these hands and the annuity withdrawal password set by this lady,
You can get your annuity easily!”
After the fingerprint template was ready, the financial specialist from Jinpeng Bank handed the template out through a small service window at the side door of the room and was taken away by a dedicated person. Then he brought a metal box and told Zhang Tie and Bev
After Beverly set the password, the financial specialist of Jinpeng Bank left first to avoid suspicion. After Beverly set the password, another person took the password box away, and then the financial specialist appeared again and brought a document.
, let Beverly sign, and the whole process is complete.
As soon as this process was completed, Zhang Tie felt an inexplicable and strong sense of satisfaction in his heart. This sense of satisfaction, with the taste of happiness, was the same as the first time Zhang Tie conquered Beverly in bed.
Similarly, when such a sense of satisfaction and taste arose in Zhang Tie's heart, Zhang Tie was surprised. He didn't know why such simple dedication made him so satisfied, so happy and accomplished.
When he walked out of the gate of Jinpeng Bank holding Beverly's hand tightly, and looking at the happiness that came from his heart on Beverly's face, Zhang Tie suddenly realized something in his heart.
——Whether it’s in bed or off the bed, whether it’s conquest or sacrifice, in fact, men just want to prove to women that they are capable of loving. A man who is capable of loving women is happy and satisfied. Perhaps, men will be happy throughout their lives.
That's just one thing I'm doing.
…
After leaving Jinpeng Bank, Zhang Tie and Beverly went to her home together and met Beverly's parents.
Beverly's parents are ordinary people from Black Flame City. They feel a little complicated as parents when their daughter brings such a big boy to their home for the first time. The name Zhang Tie has been named since last year.
The two of them had heard from their daughter more than once and knew many things about Zhang Tie, but this was the first time they actually met Zhang Tie.
Beverly's mother was fine. She knew her daughter's concerns and looked at Zhang Tie with a gentle look. But when Beverly's father looked at Zhang Tie, his eyes became much more serious, as if he was looking at an intruder.
He is like a thief who wants to steal a treasure in his own home...
