585: A free card – why not get one?
"Are you really sure you want to buy 20 million worth?"
Lin Yichu really wanted to earn the commission from this deal.
As long as she secured this big order, she could walk tall in the Investment Management Department for the next six months, even if she didn't close another deal.
But since they were relatives, and she herself didn't have much confidence in her bank's wealth management products—especially those with such "optimistic" projections—she felt conflicted.
Lin Yichu was worried that if Ye Su invested 20 million, three months later, let alone making a profit, her cousin might not even be able to protect his principal.
Ye Su leaned back in his chair, tapped his fingertips on the table, and smiled calmly:
"Since I made a special trip here, of course I'm sure about buying 20 million. Can we handle the formalities now? I have other things to do later."
Seeing Ye Su's attitude—buying 20 million worth of wealth management products as if he were buying a 2,000-yuan electronic gadget, impatient to pay and leave—Lin Yichu was somewhat speechless.
Just how rich has my cousin become!
"If you're really sure about buying 20 million, I'll have Manager Wu come over right now to help you with the paperwork."
"Alright."
Leaving Ye Su alone in the reception room, Lin Yichu immediately stood up and went to the door to call Wu Yufang.
Hearing that Lin Yichu's cousin had returned to support the bank's business after three weeks and was buying 20 million worth of wealth management products in one go, Manager Wu Yufang was also exceptionally excited. She hung up the phone and almost ran to the reception room.
After exchanging greetings, Wu Yufang began drafting the contract and processing the formalities for Ye Su.
Signing, confirmation, and fund transfer—the entire process took less than half an hour, and all the formalities were completed.
As a relative, Lin Yichu worried that Ye Su would lose out on the wealth management products, but Wu Yufang clearly had no such concerns.
Once the formalities were finished and she confirmed Ye Su's funds had arrived, Wu Yufang took the opportunity to promote more products:
"Mr. Ye, besides the wealth management product you just purchased, our bank has several others with good performance. Would you like me to introduce them to you?"
"No thanks, I don't have any other investment plans for the time being."
Knowing how murky the waters of bank wealth management products could be, Ye Su didn't want to touch any other products except for those recommended by Brother System.
Seeing Ye Su refuse so decisively, Wu Yufang felt deep regret.
At the same time, Wu Yufang was certain that this big client was only working with ICBC because of his relationship with Lin Yichu.
In other words, to maintain the relationship with this big client, she first had to take good care of Lin Yichu.
Wu Yufang immediately decided that when she reported this transaction later, she would also report the relationship between Lin Yichu and Ye Su.
Besides letting Lin Yichu complete her probation early, she could also apply for her promotion to Supervisor.
With this 20 million in performance, making an exception to promote Lin Yichu would leave other employees in the department with no grounds to complain.
"Alright."
Knowing that it was best not to rush things with clients like Ye Su, Wu Yufang didn't continue her sales pitch:
"For distinguished clients like you, Mr. Ye, our bank provides some high-quality internal wealth management products. Although these products have high entry thresholds, they offer good returns and high security. I'll send you a copy later for you to look over when you're free. If you're interested in anything, feel free to call me anytime."
Wu Yufang glanced kindly at Lin Yichu again. "Of course, any wealth management products you purchase through me will have their performance credited entirely to Yichu. I won't pocket her commission."
Anyone who could spend 20 million on wealth management products would be identified by the bank as a high-net-worth individual and become a key service target.
The high-quality internal wealth management products offered to these clients probably wouldn't be too much of a trap.
Ye Su thought there was no harm in taking a look, so he nodded. "Alright, then I'll trouble you, Manager Wu."
"It's no trouble at all. Providing you with services and investment advice is part of my job." Wu Yufang gave a professional smile:
"Also, our bank has partnerships with the airport, golf courses in Yangcheng, hospitals, private clubs, and other entities. We can provide you with membership cards for these partner organizations. Would you like them?"
Ye Su, being practical, asked beforehand, "Is there an extra fee for these membership cards?"
"Of course not. This is an additional service our bank provides for distinguished clients."
Since they were free, Ye Su felt it would be a waste not to get them. "That works. But does it take long to process the membership cards? I have other things to do later."
"It's fine." For a client like Ye Su, Wu Yufang was naturally very considerate:
"If you're in a hurry, we can use the phone number and identification information you have on file with us to process the cards and then mail them to you. You just need to leave a shipping address."
"That works."
Immediately, Ye Su sent the address of the Apartment Complex to Wu Yufang.
Learning that Ye Su lived in the Apartment Complex and seeing that he had switched to a watch worth over five million on his wrist, Wu Yufang was once again shocked. Ye Su was only 21, yet he likely already had a net worth in the hundreds of millions.
She also became more determined to maintain this distinguished client at all costs.
After the two finished chatting, Lin Yichu, who was standing nearby, finally spoke up:
"By the way, Ye Su, that Shangwei New Materials stock you bought before has hit the daily limit several times in a row. The stock price is almost up to 40 yuan. Do you want to sell it?"
"Not yet. We'll see after some time."
"Alright."
Ye Su's certain tone gave Lin Yichu an idea; she could hold onto her Shangwei New Materials stock for a while longer.
He still had to drive to the Qian Nong Cattle Farm in the suburbs. Now that the formalities were done, Ye Su didn't stay any longer. He said goodbye to the two and left ICBC.
"Yichu."
As soon as Ye Su stepped out, Wu Yufang said meaningfully:
"It's rare to have such a good relative. You must hold onto him and visit him more often when you're free."
"I know, Manager."
Lin Yichu was no fool. She knew exactly what a blessing it was for someone in banking to have a relative like Ye Su, and she certainly intended to maintain the relationship.
Fortunately, the two families had been on good terms since they were children. When Ye Su's family was struggling last year, her parents hadn't avoided them like the plague, which allowed her to have such a benefactor relative helping her now.
Thinking back to the little boy who used to follow them around during New Year's when they were kids, who had transformed in the blink of an eye into a tycoon wearing a multi-million yuan luxury watch and casually dropping 20 million on wealth management, Lin Yichu couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.
Sigh—
Everyone has their own fate... I'll just honestly be a corporate slave for the bank... On the other side, after leaving the ICBC entrance, Ye Su set his navigation and headed straight for the Qian Nong Cattle Farm.
More than half an hour later, he appeared at the entrance of the cattle farm.
The cattle farm had been open for a long time, and Ye Su's Lamborghini was the only one that had ever visited, so everyone at the farm had a deep impression of the car.
The weather was too hot, and the administrator, Yang Peng, was inside enjoying the air conditioning. As soon as he saw the Lamborghini on the monitor, he immediately got up to greet Ye Su outside.
"Boss Ye, welcome, welcome."
"Haha, I didn't expect you to still remember me."
"Haha," Yang Peng laughed along. "Boss Ye is so outstanding, how could I possibly forget?"
