Chapter 261: 255 What Antique?
Not only do they possess the highest market capitalisation globally, the highest profit rates, but also the most extensive worldwide branches. One could say their branches are located all over the world. Moreover, banks have recently procured the Standard Bank of South Africa, owning 60 percent of its shares. They also own Siam’s AC Bank, the Sincere Bank of Hollow City, Halim Bank of the Island Country, Agar Standard Bank, and its two affiliated companies, and over 80% of shares of the East Asia Sna Continent Bank of North Federation. The total assets of these banks have reached 3.1 trillion federal coins.
Banks now have not only the most total assets but the highest market capitalisation worldwide. Although it’s completely state-owned by Flame Nation, it is nonetheless the lord of the banking sector. So now, what is the market value of Red Flower Bank?
However, it can’t be helped; after Lawrence Rodger and Oscar Blair understood what Finn Lewis wanted, they immediately went back to prepare and get in touch with other auction houses. Finn Lewis shook his head slightly and then cast this matter to the back of his mind, driving directly to the largest hospital in Darwin Harbor. He handed Diana James’s medical records to the doctors there.
With a detailed medical record, Finn Lewis easily obtained the related medicines. Even though the doctor was insistent that the patient should be hospitalised immediately due to the severe condition, Finn Lewis still declined.
If he had a way. he would have taken Diana Tamps there a long time ago.
After purchasing the medication and the relevant treatment plan, Finn Lewis directly returned to the year 1837, giving all the medicines and the related treatment plan to the number one located there, Finn Lewis then returned to the present day. The total time spent was no more than 10 minutes in the modern era.
Diana James’s anemia is severe, but her ability to produce blood is still functional. Diana James is still young, after all. She’s just severely malnourished. Diana James’s age is not large, even a year younger than Finn Lewis. Women during that period marry and have children early, so Diana James is a year younger than Finn Lewis, but Grace Harvey is already almost five years old.
After sorting out Diana James’s matters, Finn Lewis returned to the present day and let Zero first process the antiques to prevent expert appraisers from noticing any issues. He then waited for the replies from the three banks. However, what Finn Lewis didn’t expect was that the banks’ response would exceed his expectations. Originally, Finn Lewis thought that the first one to come wouldn’t be Rhine Kingdom Bank or Red Flower Bank. But in fact, the first ones to arrive were from the banks!
Moreover, the team leader is Matthew Chan, and not only Matthew Chan. There were also a total of 12 expert appraisers, most of whom came from the Imperial Palace Museum, their hair already white with age. The youngest among them was middle-aged.
The bank and these experts came directly by charter flights. When Finn Lewis saw Matthew Chan, he was speechless. No wonder Flame Nation’s construction companies are very famous in Africa and the Northern Europe Federation, as long as the money is in place, the construction absolutely refreshes your worldview.
After Matthew Chan introduced the experts, he said proudly with a laugh, “How about it, young man, are our efficiency levels not high?”
“It is high,” Finn Lewis said, nodding his head with some speechlessness.
“Hehe, I admit, both the Rhine Kingdom Bank and the Red Flower Bank have their unique advantages, and we indeed do not compare to them in some areas. But you can’t deny that, at some point, our efficiency is not something they can compare to.” Matthew Chan chuckled.
Finn Lewis pondered for a while and could only shrug his shoulders and say: “Alright, I just need experts in this field. I’ve said before, no matter which of the three banks settled this issue, I’ll hand over this business to that bank.”
Since the matters are settled, Finn Lewis did not go against his word, directly calling Lawrence Rodger and Oscar Blair, telling them about this. Although shocked to hear that the people from bank had arrived, both still wanted to see the antiques in Finn Lewis’s hands. Finn Lewis pondered for a moment and didn’t refuse, anyway, his shareholders already knew where they were, so they had to meet people eventually.
“By the way, may I ask what artifacts you avail to be appraised?” Matthew Chan asked curiously.
“You’ll know once we reach there,” Finn Lewis answered, shrugging his shoulders, then led the team towards the dock warehouse area.
All twelve appraisal experts were a bit baffled. However, none of them said anything, considering that they were hired by the bank this time for a hefty fee, plus a favor. They decided to consider it as an international trip. As for helping appraise whatever thing, the experts shook their heads after seeing
Finn Lewis. Although they didn’t know why the bank exerted such efforts, Finn Lewis’s age, could he have any antiques?
Although they each have specialized fields, in regards to antique appraisal, unless it’s an extremely challenging artifact, they almost could be described as all-around experts. Other fields’ appraisals may not be as good as their specialized fields, but it’s surely not far off.
“President Chan, is it necessary for us to come in such large numbers? How many antiques are there to be appraised?” A man in his forties couldn’t resist asking on the way.
Everyone was in a small bus, so naturally, everyone heard him. Matthew Chan looked at Finn Lewis for a second. Finn Lewis was still sitting there with a smiling face, not uttering a word.
Matthew Chan paused for a moment and then laughed and said, “Everyone was called for help, Mr. Lewis here has a diverse range of artifacts for appraisal, it might require everyone’s expert knowledge. If it’s not too troublesome, consider it as an outing trip, we repay all expenses.”
After Matthew Chan made this announcement, the middle-aged man could only nod his head. In fact, he was a little annoyed with Finn Lewis’s attitude, even without greeting them after introductions, had they never seen rich people before? How many were like Finn Lewis?
But they had to give Matthew Chan respect. The middle-aged man had no other option but to let it go, as Finn Lewis obviously did not respond to this provocation. Let alone, this couldn’t even be considered a provocation.
The small bus quickly arrived at their destination. After they all got off the bus, Finn Lewis lead everyone directly towards the giant storage warehouse. Seeing this warehouse, everyone was a bit dumbfounded. Are they sure this is the place where antiques are stored?
However, as the team of experts were dumbfounded, Finn Lewis was already at the door. Two T800s, which Finn Lewis had replaced the day before after the artifacts were stored, saluted Finn Lewis. Finn Lewis then opened the warehouse doors..
