LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 6 What is Gotham Bank?
Twenty minutes later, Donton parked the borrowed car in front of the bank.
After tidying up his clothes, he smiled at the security guard at the bank door and walked into the bank confidently.
This bank is not very big, with only three counters and an area as small as a store.
But this is also the reason why Donton patronizes it.
Donton considered his business ability. If he relied on himself, he might not be able to deal with a large bank even if he died more than a dozen times.
He really couldn't die, but every time he died, it would delay him for a while.
If time dragged on for a long time, even the most idle police would surround the bank where he borrowed money.
He came to withdraw money, not to kill randomly. The size of the bank and the small enough security to allow him to take the money away.
This small bank in front of him is perfect.
While thinking, Donton came to the counter and lined up.
In the bank hall, after the manager examined Donton's clothes, he immediately walked towards Donton.
People like them who deal with money and rich people have the most insight. He knows the brand of clothes that Downton is wearing, and he knows that this set of clothes is at least five thousand dollars.
What is the concept of five thousand dollars? That is six Apple mobile phones. Even if a person wearing such clothes is not rich, he must be well-off. Maybe he is a young dentist or lawyer.
As the financial manager of the Gotham East Branch of Atlanta Bank, he likes customers like Downton the most.
In his opinion, customers with economic strength like Downton are the easiest to fool. Some of them are not rich enough, some are not strong enough, and some do not have too many channels.
The most important thing is that they have a certain amount of information from the middle class of society, but they cannot fundamentally break through the information cocoon laid by capital.
Using the asymmetry of information, managers can easily fool such people into various investment paths with different risks and put their money into the hands of banks.
Unlike facing real rich people, those people are difficult to deal with just the team around them.
"Hello, please call me Ryan Bernard, I am the vice president of this bank.
In my opinion, a gentleman like you does not need to queue up with everyone else, unless you want to experience a different life."
"Oh?"
Donton was stunned by the sudden appearance of Ryan.
"No need to queue up, man, you really have a good eye!"
"You are too kind, a gentleman like you should stand out like this no matter what environment you are in. I just did what I should do."
Faced with Donton's compliments, Ryan showed a perfect smile, then stretched out his hand to lead Donton to the VIP lounge.
Donton followed Ryan and said as he walked.
"Your bank is not very big, but it seems to have a lot of business, and there are a lot of people queuing up."
"Indeed, compared with Wayne Bank and Kane Bank in Gotham, it is difficult for us to completely enter Gotham's financial market.
But because of the fierce competition, we have a service attitude far superior to Gotham's local flagship bank, which is why a considerable number of local users are willing to choose the financial help we provide.
We are more willing and better at serving users than Gotham's local family banks, sir."
While talking, Ryan took Downton to the lounge, brewed a cup of coffee for Downton, and took some desserts with moderate sugar content.
Asians are often not as keen on sugar as black and white people, and Manager Ryan is professional.
Sitting opposite Downton, looking at Downton sipping coffee, Manager Ryan continued to ask with a smile.
"What do you want to do?"
"I want to withdraw some money."
"Really? You are a loyal customer of our Atlanta Bank. I am really surprised.
But you are not from Gotham. After all, I am not bragging. As long as I have served you, I will never forget you.
So, you should have handled the deposit business at a branch of our bank in another place. You haven't been in Gotham for too long, right?"
"That's right!"
Donton gave Ryan a thumbs up in appreciation.
"Maybe my style is too suitable for Gotham, so until now, you are the only one who can recognize that I just arrived in Gotham."
"Haha, you are too kind. I don't know how much cash you want to withdraw. Please provide me with your account.
Since you don't have an appointment, you may not be able to withdraw a large amount of cash today, but I will try my best to provide you with convenience and hope to meet your current consumption needs."
Ryan smiled and nodded to Donton, and then silently waited for Donton to tell his account.
But...
Facing the expectation of Manager Ryan, Donton shrugged lightly.
"What account, what deposit, sorry, I don't have those things."
"What?"
Ryan was slightly stunned, and before he could react, Donton had already pulled out a pistol from his waist.
When he just entered the VIP lounge, Donton saw the location of the monitor clearly, and saw him holding a gun under the monitor and destroying the monitor with one shot.
The sudden gunshot made the whole bank pause, but fortunately this was the VIP lounge, and the people outside were still a little stunned.
In the lounge, Donton turned the muzzle of the gun to Ryan who wanted to draw his gun.
"Don't move, buddy, you said you would provide convenience for me, and you must keep your word.
By the way, we haven't finished talking about accounts and deposits. Banks are not so inconvenient!
If I have to deposit money before I can withdraw it, why should I choose your Atlanta Bank? How can I remain loyal to your bank brand?
You bank presidents must be flexible enough in business, otherwise how can you continue to have high-quality customers like me! "
While speaking, Donton came behind Ryan and put the muzzle of the gun against Ryan's lower back.
With his other hand grabbing Ryan's collar, Donton kicked open the door of the lounge, exposing the hostage Ryan manager to the stunned crowd.
"Shit!"
"It's a robber!"
"Damn, do robbers dress so well?"
"He doesn't even wear a mask! "
The customers in the bank were in a panic, and several customers near the door immediately fled, causing great trouble to the bank's security.
There were only four security guards in the medium-sized bank. Except for one who was still guarding the door, three guns were pointed at Donton.
Facing the muzzle of the security guards' guns, Donton put his left hand on Manager Ryan's shoulder and said to the security guards.
"How much do you earn a month? Why risk your life for that little money?
Believe me, I'm not here to rob, but to provide convenience for your bank.
I'm just one person, how much money can I take away? This loss is just a small problem for a large bank like Atlanta that is open all over the United States.
But my presence can not only allow you to squeeze the insurance company, but also help your bank solve some bad debts. If you don't believe me, ask this Manager Ryan, he must understand what I mean. "
Donton pointed the muzzle of the gun at Ryan's head, and Ryan nodded hurriedly.
Then, Ryan quickly yelled at the security personnel.
"Didn't you hear that the robbers asked to turn off all the surveillance equipment, otherwise my head would explode!"
After the voice fell, Manager Ryan swallowed his saliva, then turned his head and whispered to Donton.
"Sir, you...well, even if it's for my life, I...must admit that what you said makes some sense.
But before that, it's best not to let them hear our conversation. "
After explaining, Manager Ryan continued to shout around like a madman.
"Are you stupid? Turn off the surveillance, turn it off!"
"Ah this..."
Faced with Ryan's urging, the security personnel looked at each other, and then they picked up the intercom.
"Turner, turn off all surveillance!"
"Received, but there is no special business in the family recently, right? "
The security guard in the monitoring room responded on the intercom, and then turned off the monitoring completely.
When all the monitors in the hall were turned off, Manager Ryan finally let out a breath of air.
"Whose men are you?"
After relaxing, Manager Ryan suddenly said to Donton.
"It seems that you are a lone wolf, no wonder you don't know.
This is the territory of the Maroni family. Our bank has a good and tacit cooperation with the Maroni family.
Man, listen to my advice, bank robbery is a deep water, you can't control it.
The ways you mentioned, we and the Maroni family have been doing it, even the security guards in our bank are the thugs of the Maroni family, you will be hunted to death by them.
They are much more dangerous than the police!"
