Chapter 1479 Caribbean Harbor Flag Soldiers(1/2)
"Let's go to the bank first." Following the direction of Amu's finger, the village chief Baer raised his eyes and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and secretly praised in his heart: It's so high~!
It was a tall building. Village Chief Baer pointed at the building with his finger and murmured: "One, two, three, four, five~!"
The magnificent and beautiful square building is five stories high.
Although it is not particularly tall in later generations, buildings of this height can be seen everywhere.
But in this era, it already stands out from the crowd and is extremely eye-catching. Compared with the surrounding buildings, it looks like a dwarf next to a giant.
The tallest building in the entire Caribbean City currently has only three floors, and each floor is lower than the building in front of you.
On the top of the building stood a huge flying eagle logo, reflecting dazzling light in the sun.
Even the innocent girl couldn't help but blurt out in amazement: "That eagle is so big, is it pure gold?"
Ammu said honestly: "It is said to be gold-plated, but it emits colorful light at night. It is very beautiful. You should really take a look."
"Really, that's great." Erya blinked, as if twinkling stars appeared in his eyes.
The village chief Baer coughed heavily, pulled his daughter behind him, and then glared at Amu.
But the eagle is really beautiful, with its wings spread out and soaring high in the sky.
The huge and sharp eagle claws held countless shining gold coins. Because there were so many gold coins, many gold coins fell out from the gaps in the claws and fell downwards.
The image is extremely vivid and the metaphor is clear.
As long as people take a look at it, they will leave a deep impression. They will think that this bank is an idiot and fool. Even gold coins are thrown away casually.
If you don't cheat this kind of fool who comes to your door, it seems that even God will not be able to tolerate it.
But as an excellent capitalist, how can the bank opened by Mr. Lei himself be allowed to be taken advantage of by others?
In fact, through this painting, Lei Er's reactionary true face as an evil bank capitalist can be clearly exposed.
This painting is announced to the outside world as the "Flying Eagle Sprinkles the Golden March", which means that the Flying Eagle Bank is generous and helps those in need.
But in fact, it was called the "Eagle Fishing Expedition" within the bank.
Because on all the money that was spilled, a thread was drawn with an invisible pen. All the gold coins were strung together and firmly connected in the eagle's claws.
Not only that, the silk thread is also covered with many large and small barbs. It is obvious that as soon as someone picks up the money, they will be firmly hooked by the barbs, just like a fish that has bitten the hook.
Can't break free anymore.
Of course, this tiny detail cannot be seen without looking carefully.
He is truly ruthless, cunning, despicable and shameless~!
Although he is a staunch atheist and capitalists are all atheists, Chairman Leo does not engage in god-like things. But this meaning is still necessary. In the words of Chairman Leo, this is called adhering to principles.
However, as most outsiders do not know the details, they can't help but sigh in admiration every time they see the towering five-story building.
This building seemed to grow out of the ground in an instant. From the beginning of construction to the final completion, it took less than two months, which is a miracle in the history of architecture.
No one has ever completed such a large building so quickly before. Some people even say that this is the handiwork of God. How can a mortal have such ability?
There are buildings in the world that are bigger than the bank in front of you. Many nobles' residences have larger building areas. However, it takes three to five years to build a three-story building covering an area of thousands of square meters.
Palaces and cathedrals were built in units of ten years and hundreds of years.
And this has become the Caribbean speed that Caribbean people are most proud of, which fully shows that the current Caribbean construction is in full swing and advancing rapidly.
Some people leave the Caribbean for more than a week and may not be able to find their way home when they return.
As ignorant villagers in the dark ages who were accustomed to living in low thatched houses with earthen walls and thatched roofs, when they suddenly saw the tall and gorgeous building, they couldn't help but feel a sense of grandeur.
It's like a person who is used to seeing small rivers and ditches seeing the sea for the first time, or a local man who was 40 years ago seeing New York for the first time.
After marveling, I couldn't help but feel a little scared. Such a tall building is only suitable for those nobles. How can people like myself go in?
This kind of place is the only place for poor people. If you dare to intrude on the noble lord's territory and soil the lord's carpet, you will be severely beaten, tied up in public, or directly beaten to death.
But at this time, out of the pride of a village chief, he did not want to show timidity in front of a child like Amu. He nodded and said with a straight face: "Lead the way."
This is his little cunning, and with Amu leading the way, as long as he follows his example, he will definitely not make a fool of himself.
But Gilson next to him looked at Amu suspiciously, and then looked at the bank.
When he was working with his boss, he also entered the bank in Alkadelin once, or to be more careful, he looked outside the door.
Gilson knew clearly that only the super... super rich could enter this bank.
Like his boss, he is considered the number one rich man in the Caribbean, but when he enters a bank, he must greet everyone with a smile and be cautious.
And if a dirty man with muddy legs appears on the road outside the bank, he will be chased away by the guard, which is an insult to the bank's style.
This Amu is just a poor soldier, when did he become a rich man?
But Amu's mother felt a burst of pride. In the eyes of this simple village woman, such high-end and classy things could be related to her son, which naturally meant that her son also had different thoughts.
Thinking of this, her waist straightened up unknowingly, and the smile on her face became more confident.
Erya naturally looked at Amu with admiration: He can come and go freely in such a luxurious place, which naturally shows that Amu is a very capable person.
For a moment, she even doubted whether a country girl like herself could be worthy of the lover in front of her.
The village chief's wife kept moving her eyes.
The positions you stand are different, and the questions you are thinking about are naturally different. As the mother-in-law, a carnivorous creature at the top of the biological chain in a harsh society, she is seriously considering how much money Amu can take out...
With different moods, everyone walked across the street towards the bank.
When they came to the center of the street, they heard a crisp ringing of the bell, and then someone shouted loudly: "Give way, give way, it would be irresponsible for us to bump into you..."
They saw a dark shadow rushing over quickly. Everyone hurriedly dodged to avoid it.
Then they saw a man riding on a strange thing with only two wheels, one in front and one in back, passing through them.
Looking at the man's leaving figure, everyone couldn't help but wonder: What is this? Wouldn't it be possible to fall down with just two wheels? Why didn't the man fall down, but ran so fast?
Erya was also extremely curious. She pulled Amu's hand and said, "Brother Amu, what is that?"
Ammu took one look at it, then smiled and said: "That's called a bicycle. It also comes from humans. Riding it can be much faster than walking.
Those who deliver letters and telegrams in the city all ride this one now.”
Erya looked at the man walking freely among the crowd, like a gust of wind, and couldn't help but said with envy: "This thing looks quite fun."
Looking at the look in Erya's eyes, Amu couldn't help but think of the scenes he had seen on the streets of humanity.
A young man in simple clothes rode a bicycle and took a girl through the street. The girl held her long skirt tightly with one hand and let the skirt fly.
Under everyone's kind eyes, the girl lowered her head shyly, and at the same time tightly grabbed the boy's clothes.
Some bold girls even sat on the crossbar in front of the bicycle, with the gentle breeze blowing in front of them, and the silky hair gently brushing the face of the boy behind...
He immediately gritted his teeth and said in a positive tone: "Do you like it? In fact, this thing is not very expensive. When I save enough money later, I will buy one for you."
A look of surprise suddenly flashed in Erya's eyes, and she said: "Really...really? Brother Amu, you are so good~!"
As he said that, regardless of his father's dark face, he hugged Amu heavily.
Ammu smelled the fragrance coming from the girl's body, and because he was so close to her, he could clearly feel the tight pressure on the girl's breasts, and couldn't help but feel dizzy.
The innocent young man has never experienced such a tender battle.
At the same time, Amu was also secretly happy: Although a bicycle is worth a lot of money, you must know that nowadays in humans, marriage requires three major items: a watch, a sewing machine, and a bicycle.
If the man can't take it out, he can't even think about getting past his mother-in-law.
And I can do it by spending only one piece of money, which is actually a lot of advantage.
Amu was secretly grateful that humans had just landed and these products had not yet been spread among Semitic people. Semitic mothers-in-law did not know yet. Watches and sewing machines were each more expensive than bicycles.
However, it is said that the new rule of three bedrooms and two living rooms has become popular among humans, so Amu felt that it was necessary to get over the mother-in-law hurdle as soon as possible.
While everyone was talking, they had already arrived in front of the lobby of Flying Eagle Bank.
Just looking at the door, everyone couldn't help but feel stupid for a while. The two doors were actually made entirely of glass. That's right, both doors were four feet wide and eight feet high. They were all made of glass.
Although the price of glass has dropped somewhat now, that one door is enough to bankrupt a small village.
Ammu opened the door and walked in first.
The rest of the people were like country bumpkins... well, they were indeed country bumpkins. They looked at the door outside for a while, and then walked in cautiously.
Mayor Baer carefully touched the glass door and pushed it open slowly, for fear of breaking it.
Since it was the morning, there were many people coming to do business in the hall.
Amu settled everyone in a waiting area, then went over to get a number, and then came back to chat with everyone.
Everyone sat on the long chairs and listened to the chaotic sounds in the hall, especially the jingling of countless gold coins. They all couldn't help but feel a sense of sincere awe, and even felt a little inferior.
How much money is there in this?
It is estimated that the other person took out a bag casually. I would never be able to save it even if I worked hard all my life.
I heard the gold coins colliding and making a sound like a river. Unknowingly, human greed emerged from the depths of my heart.
Many people can’t help but think: With so much money, how great it would be if they could just get a handful of it!
Even though he was the mayor of Baal, his eyes couldn't help but flash with a strange light, and he was thinking seriously about how to get some gold coins from the bank.
