Chapter 489: Chapter 342: Billions delivered to the doorstep!

Sean Knight drank the entire teacup in one gulp, pouring himself another cup from the teapot, and explained with a smile to Frederick Hall:

"I took a walk outside and had some barbecue at the farmhouse, which was a bit salty, so I’m thirsty."

"Mr. Knight, you sure live a leisurely life." Frederick’s eyes were filled with envy, and then he asked curiously:

"I want to ask, which bank does Mr. Knight keep his money in?"

"Me? Swiss Bank, and for the US, I use HSBC and a few other established banks."

Frederick suddenly realized why Sean still had money to bid and buy his antiques.

"But at that time, banks in Silicon Valley were offering even better deals for deposits." Frederick still had a point; didn’t people usually go for favorable bank policies?

The more you deposit, the more you earn!

Sean waved his hand:

"For treasure hunters like me, stability is the key. As for the bank’s preferential policies, they’re not really that attractive to me."

Frederick was envious but couldn’t say much at this point.

"Mr. Hall, would you like to join me for dinner?"

"No, no." Frederick had been waiting for Sean to make the offer, but when Sean refused and didn’t say anything else, Frederick became anxious. He said again:

"Mr. Knight, about the deposit receipts..."

"Mr. Hall, actually, you can wait some more." Sean waved his hand, "Think about it, such a big bank going bankrupt, the Americans are responsible, right? It’s not like they’ll let all those deposits go down the drain, right?"

"I have no choice but to let it go down the drain." Frederick looked dejected, "Mr. Knight, do you know? The news came today that another American bank went bankrupt... This time, it might be like the 2008 Lehman Corporation bankruptcy... The Americans don’t have spare money either!"

"So what do you plan to do?" Sean took another sip of tea as he was genuinely thirsty, "Didn’t you try to find a way to cash out the money first?"

"Heh, connections, heh!" Frederick’s expression was a mix of crying and laughing, "The relationships I had before, they all said they were as close as brothers.

When trouble actually hit, they didn’t even greet me when they saw me. They just stepped on the gas and left, as if I was going to borrow their money!"

Sean chuckled without saying a word.

Birds of a feather flock together. It’s perfectly normal.

What kind of friends can someone like you make?

"... So, Mr. Knight, please help me. Just think of it as helping a fellow countryman. I brought my deposit documents with me. As long as you take over, these are all yours..."

Frederick placed the document bag on the table.

Sean glanced at it and slowly said:

"Mr. Hall, as you know, now that the bank is bankrupt, these deposit receipts..."

"It might be useless for me, but I believe with Mr. Knight’s ability, it should still be useful... I really have no other way..."

"No regrets?" Sean patted the pile of documents gently, "What if it can be fully cashed in the future?"

"I can’t wait for that. I can’t wait for that moment." Frederick shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Even if it can be cashed, it will be yours then. I’m willing to trade; I’ll accept it."

Sean thought for a moment:

"Alright, one million. If you think it’s okay, I’ll take it."

"Thank you so much!" Frederick originally thought Sean would stick to the previous fifty thousand dollars, but he did not expect him to double it to one million, which was an unexpected surprise!

Sean thought to himself, this one million comes from the five million dollars that you gave up.

Of the remaining four million, none of Sean’s group wanted any. The final plan was to donate it to the China Hope Project and the Red Cross.

Leaving Sean’s villa, Frederick got into his own car.

His bodyguard and cousin asked as he drove:

"Brother, did he accept it?"

"Accepted." Frederick’s bitter smile disappeared from his face, "He’s such a fool; I played him once, and he actually believed it. But such a person could make a good friend."

"Brother, could it be that he tricked you?" The cousin knew the reason why his cousin was tight for money.

"Probably not." Frederick believed his own eyes, "Sean Knight is too young and doesn’t have such schemes. If he really did it, he would definitely show a trace of it. But there was none."

"So, should we..." the cousin suddenly had an idea, "Brother, you have a lot of friends with such deposit receipts, right? Can we..."

Frederick’s eyes lit up!

This was really an idea!

Some people were already selling their houses at low prices because of this.

Doing this would not only earn gratitude but also make a profit!

He immediately made a phone call to Sean and told him about this idea.

Sean didn’t expect Frederick would actually come up with this.

He hesitated for a moment, and on the other side, Frederick thought he was hesitating. He quickly said:

"Mr. Knight, just consider it as charity. When you do this, everyone will be grateful, and you won’t need much. Just a little more than their insurance amount, and our fellow countrymen will be content!"

The insured deposit receipts have a maximum compensation of 250,000 dollars, and many people who deposited their money didn’t even buy insurance.

So in Frederick’s eyes, this deal was only profitable.

"All right. Whether it’s one sheep or a herd, since we are fellow countrymen." Sean sighed, and reluctantly agreed.

Frederick hung up the phone and laughed happily, "This fool actually agreed!"

"Brother, now we’re going to make a fortune for sure!" The cousin knew a bit about these things, "There are quite a few people in your circle with such deposit receipts! There are even several with over a hundred million!"
