Chapter 36 Arriving in New York

Duqi once considered whether it was possible to cooperate with Milken if he had enough capital. However, such a person who was extremely smart and used to eating alone was not easy to get along with, because Duqi thought he was also a person who liked eating alone, so Milken was really not a good partner.

Of course, Duqi will share benefits at the right time, which is also an alternative investment for him. Moreover, compared to dealing with people on Wall Street, Duqi prefers to use his reborn gold finger to bet on the economic trend. As the saying goes, the times create heroes. The small curve in the middle Duqi may not be able to compare with these shrewd guys, but in terms of controlling the economic trend, who can compare with Duqi, the reborn person.

In early March, Duqi obtained the latest Rubik's Cube patent and the share of the first part of "The Legend of Ice and Fire". The funds on hand successfully accumulated to 3.7 million. After confirming the bank account, Duqi took the plane directly, with the goal of New York.

Duches was very tight in time. He had just completed the test for this school season in the afternoon and got the credits. In the evening, he boarded a plane to New York and carried a travel bag containing some changing clothes and three thousand dollars in cash.

Cash is very popular in the United States. When paying wages, people also like to receive cash because this can evade taxes and save some money. Moreover, ATMs have not appeared these days. At least Duqi has not seen it in a bank at present. As the saying goes, the road to a poor family is rich, it is more important to keep enough cash on hand.

Duches was on the bus nearest San Francisco. Security checks are quite relaxed these days. He boarded the plane shortly after checking the tickets. After more than five hours of flight in a nervous mood, he landed at the Kennedy International Airport in New York.

After getting off the plane, Duqi took a taxi to Manhattan Island. Nowadays, no city in the world is as high as Manhattan in New York. There is Central Park in the middle and it is built around it. The New York complex in the early 1980s was already very spectacular, but in Duqi's eyes, all this has not changed much from when he left New York seven or eight years ago.

When Duchee arrived in New York's most famous Manhattan area and booked a hotel, it was already dawn. In fact, it should be three in the morning on the West Coast.

As a country spanning multiple time zones, the United States does not unify time like China, so due to the time difference, even when many Americans travel between the east and west coasts, they will be a little confused about the time.

Fortunately, Duqi had been dozing on the plane for several hours. With his condition, he was still very energetic. He threw the changed clothes into the hotel suite, and Duqi directly answered the phone.

"Hey, hello, is there anything you can serve you?" The person on the other side also had a little sleepiness, but he did not dare to neglect the people who disturbed his dreams, because only those senior customers in the bank knew his private phone number.

"Is it John? I am Chi Du, now in New York. Can I complete the business I applied for three days ago as soon as possible?" Duqi asked straight to the point.

John's voice became even more respectful: "It turned out to be Mr. Du, no problem. You are a VIP customer of our bank. Your loan review was completed the day before yesterday. You only need to come and sign a letter to get a total of 12 million US dollars."

"Okay, where do I need to find you now."

"No need to bother you. Our bank will arrange for the driver to pick you up. You just need to tell us the hotel where you are staying."

"Okay, I'm in Manhattan now..."

After hanging up the phone, Duqi let out a long sigh. So far, everything was going well. The person contacted him was John Trick, the financial manager of Citibank. When his deposit at Citibank reached one million, the other party took the initiative to contact Duqi and recommended various financial services from the bank to Duqi.

Duqi was not interested in the kind of financial products with limited returns but not small risks. However, Duqi needed enough principal in the next action, so he contacted Citibank and took out the patent licensing contract signed by him and Qubao, as well as the first two issuance contracts of "Song of Ice and Fire", and asked for a loan, the more the number, the better.

The Rubik's Cube patent licensing contract has earned more than 700,000 US dollars in the past three months, while the first "Song of Ice and Fire" has sold more than one million US dollars in the past three months. The second novel has just started to be sold, and there is no specific data yet, but the potential is still very great. It is estimated that there will be at least one million US dollars in revenue this year.

In other words, these are high-quality mortgaged assets. After Citibank made the assessment, it was willing to provide Duqi with a loan of 12 million US dollars. This is also the principal that Duqi prepared for himself when he was preparing to "bet".

If it fails, Duqi will be able to repay these loans little by little in the next three or four years by relying on patent authorization and royalties. However, once successful, Duqi's career will be able to develop rapidly. For this reason, Duqi has specially formulated two different development plans.

Of course, Duqi doesn't want to use the plan he failed.

I picked up the phone again, contacted the hotel's service desk, and asked the hotel to prepare a breakfast. As a VIP suite customer in a high-end hotel, the other party's service to Duqi was very efficient. In just ten minutes, Duqi's ordered breakfast was delivered.

When Duqi was about to finish his meal, the phone rang in the hotel room, and the car that came to pick him up had already arrived downstairs of the hotel.

After a few bites of it, Duqi sucked the last small bread into his stomach with warm milk tea. After cleaning up, he left the hotel room.

New York began to warm in March, but the temperature was still not high, and it was colder than in San Francisco. Duches is wearing a prepared jacket now. When he arrived downstairs of the hotel, he soon found a car to pick him up.

John Trick came to New York a few days earlier than Duche to help Duche deal with the loan issue. He rented the car after he arrived in New York.

When I arrived at the Citibank building, Duqi didn’t need anything to do. I just confirmed the loan contract and signed it on it.

After Duche signed, John Trick said: "The loan you need will be deposited into the account within one day. In addition, our bank will also provide funds for ten times the leverage in the futures market. The handling fees are calculated based on the best discounts in the industry."

John Trick is not optimistic about Duqi's desire to play futures and even make large mortgage loans. However, as a manager who specializes in serving customers, he will not interfere with Duqi's decisions, and he is still respectful on the surface. Anyway, even if Duqi fails and loses all the money, and has long-term stable mortgages, the bank will not lose any loss.
