303 Void

God knows why Ida is also in London.

At this time, it must be too late to evade, Phyllis has already seen Ada, and the sinful little hand immediately grabbed the soft flesh of Roque's waist.

It really hurts!

The kind that goes deep into the soul.

Roque didn't dare to hide, barely maintaining the smile on his face.

Good thing Winston is here.

Winston also knew about Roque and Ada's past, and after the initial shock, Winston immediately took the initiative to greet Ada.

"Welcome, MP Churchill, is there anything I can do for you?" Ida was like she hadn't seen Roque.

"I'm going to make a transfer, 40,000 pounds, is that okay?" Winston was a little worried about the ability of the Rand Bank to pay, 40,000 pounds was not a small amount, and even the largest and most financially powerful Imperial Bank of this level of business had to make an appointment in advance.

"Of course, you can, you can do business under 100,000 pounds at any time." Ada didn't even bite it.

The strength of the RAND Bank is definitely beyond Winston's imagination, 40,000 pounds sounds like a lot, but it is no problem for the RAND Bank, it is less than 300 kilograms converted into gold, not to mention that the transfer is not a cash withdrawal, the funds are just going around the account in the RAND Bank, and the bank door does not need to go out.

For customers of Roque and Winston's level, business is carried out in the reception room on the second floor, and a dedicated business manager is responsible for assisting throughout the process, which is convenient and fast.

Roque really wanted to go to the reception room with Winston, but unfortunately Phyllis wouldn't let him go, dragged Roque to the balcony on the second floor, and then asked viciously, "Why is she here?" ”

It's really vicious, and it's very different from the day before yesterday when I was angry with the shopkeeper.

Roque really didn't know, and he didn't forget to answer the question: "Isn't it normal for bankers to stay in the bank-"

Phyllis was so angry that she went crazy, and then she struck harder: "I didn't mean this! ”

"I really don't know, you know that we've been together all this time." Roque was cautious, he had never seen Phyllis so angry.

Ida sends Winston into the reception room, and then comes out to find Roark and Phyllis.

"Lord Nyasaland, Lady Nyasaland, good morning." Switching to normal mode, Ada's etiquette was impeccable, and she wore a bank clerk's uniform that women rarely wore today, which was the kind of black suit trousers and leather boots, which was common in the City, and as far as the eye could see, it was basically a sea of silk top hats.

However, few women wear it this way these days, after all, most of the women who go out of the house to work are in textile factories, and working in a bank requires professional qualities.

The same uniform, worn on the bank clerks, looked similar to the servants in Roque's house.

Wearing it on Ada, it has a unique charm.

Ida's height is relatively high among women, many men are not more than 1.7 meters tall this year, Ida's height is obviously more than 1.7 meters, women, it is rare to be more than 1.7 meters tall, and the visual effect is to stand out from the crowd.

Ada's figure is indeed good, it should be high, it should be warped, and the well-sewn uniform shows the curves of Ada's figure to the greatest extent.

Ada's hair is blonde like Phyllis's, and Phyllis usually pulls her hair back to make a simple styling; Ada, however, pulled her hair back at the back of her head and held it with a green emerald hairpin with the coat of arms of the Capetian family engraved on the head, needless to say, it was another Itno masterpiece.

"Hello, Mrs. Capet." Phyllis finally lets go of Roque and refreshes herself to deal with Ada.

Unlike Ada's uniform, Phyllis is wearing a lilac tulle dress today, the style of the dress is a bit conservative, the neckline and back are not exposed, and she wears long-sleeved gloves on her hands, which looks very feminine.

Different from the general long skirt, the waist of Phyllis's long skirt is a little high, just below the chest, which looks similar to the waist position of the traditional Korean long skirt, this style is rare at this time, and most white people don't even know that there is a Korean nation in this world, so Phyllis's long skirt gives people a particularly attractive feeling.

Different styles of long skirts, Roque doesn't know how many Phyllis there are, anyway, Phyllis often makes clothes, and there are more than a dozen sets of them.

Aristocrats, if they are not extravagant and wasteful, they are not called nobles, even if they like the clothes they like in Phyllis, they can only be worn once on formal occasions, and they can be worn casually at home, and it is very rude if the same long skirt is worn twice to appear on formal occasions.

It's more convenient to have a uniform like Ada, after all, the styles are almost the same, and no one will notice it if it's repeated once in a while.

In fact, Ida's clothes are the same, they are also uniforms, there is not much to do in style, just make a fuss about decoration, a simple family crest, in the hands of the tailor can play countless tricks.

Phyllis actually has the coat of arms of Baron Nyasaland on her long dress, but it is also shown on the chest of the long skirt with lilac colored thread, and you can't see it at all if you don't pay attention to it, which is in stark contrast to those nouveau riche who wear a big gold chain and want to tell the world.

In fact, Phyllis's long skirt doesn't have to be much cheaper than a big gold chain, the badges on the long skirt are all hand-embroidered, and the skirt and neckline have petals and moire embroidered with the same lilac color thread.

"I'm sorry, it may disturb you, but I really didn't mean to, I'm here in London to check the business of the RAND Bank, and there are a lot of bad debts in the branch here in London recently." Ada's reason is very appropriate, banker, it is indeed very appropriate to appear in the bank.

"That's hard work." Phyllis's smile is also very mature, which is considered a basic ability, and she has to practice in front of the mirror since she was a child.

"It's my job, so it's not hard." Ida stood about a meter and a half opposite Phyllis, which was a good distance.

"What's the deal with bad debts?" Roque doesn't want to see the two women idle, but he still cares about the business of the RAND Bank, after all, Roque is the boss of the RAND Bank, and if the RAND Bank loses money, then Roque will not have a good life.

Bad debts in banks are inevitable, and the information in these years is seriously unsmooth, and in many cases, if the review is not strict, then the probability of bad debts is simply unacceptable.

In the case of the UK, banks can open as they want, and there is not even a unified banking supervision department, so there are many large and small banks in the financial city.

Then there were so many banks that closed every year, and the London branch of the RAND Bank was taken over from a bankrupt banker.

"Almost all bad debts are due to loans, sometimes the business manager has a problem when it is reviewed, and the price given is seriously beyond the value, and then it becomes bad debt, and the house price in London is very expensive, and there are not many people who can afford it, so it is very difficult for the house to be sold." Ida has a headache, the higher the house price, the fewer people can afford the price, and a guy like Roque who spends a lot of money rarely appears once a year.

Many dilapidated aristocrats in these years were reluctant to borrow money from others because of their status, and banks became the best channel for working capital.

There are not too many dilapidated aristocrats who sell their ancestral property to live their lives, and sometimes the same house will even be mortgaged to several different banks, and such people will become black accounts of the bank, but those who do this will generally do so when they sell their property and leave the United Kingdom, and many people go to the United States.

"Wait, the RAND Bank has a lot of houses now?" Roque felt like it really didn't take much effort to get it.

"Yes, I'm going to set up an agency to sort out the houses and rent them out, but unfortunately many of the houses are close to abandonment, and the maintenance value is very small, and there are nearly a hundred houses here in Chelsea—" Before Ida could finish speaking, Roque immediately pulled out his legs and went to the reception room.

Since the Rand Bank has so many houses, it is still worth 40,000 pounds, and Roque is really distressed.

Winston was discussing the difference between Panamanian cigars and Cuban cigars in the reception room with the Reagan key account manager, this guy is definitely a true love for cigars, it is said that he smoked 40,000 cigars in his lifetime, and it is really a blessing from God to have no lung cancer.

Seeing Roque, Phyllis, and Ida coming in, Winston ignored it and spat out the fog to himself.

The key account manager reacted quickly and immediately got up to ventilate and not let the lady smoke second-hand smoke.

"Winston, don't buy the house." Roque is very happy, there are nearly a hundred houses, and Roque can pick slowly.

Winston was still a little stunned, and after listening to Roque's explanation, Roque's eyes changed again.

They are all people, Winston can't even afford a house in Chelsea, but the Rand Bank has hundreds of houses, so many houses, all of which are rented out for more than 100,000 pounds a year.

"Now you can rest assured, the bank mortgaged the house, do you want to deal with it cheaply?" Roque is very generous at this time, the reason why bad debts are bad debts is because the capital cannot be revitalized, Ida is still very capable, renting out the house is a good choice, and the rental return rate is actually good.

In this era, there is no property right in the house, the land is private, and the house will always be private, so as long as it is maintained and repaired in time, it is not uncommon for a house to be inherited for hundreds of years.

"Absolutely! Don't be a fool! Winston was angry and wanted to eat a big family, but unfortunately his appetite was not good enough, and he probably couldn't eat a lot of Roque.

At this time, Ida had instructed the key account manager to bring over the information of those properties, and the house that Roque wanted to buy was actually in it, but that house was only worth 20,000 pounds in the RAND Bank, and half of it was cut in half.

Sure enough, the price is still a bit empty.
