Chapter 1695: Isn't it just a capital verification? No big deal!

The manager said, "As long as you can prove that you have a bank account with more than 10 yuan in it, it will be fine."

Jiang Wan nodded: "That's no problem."

She took out a passbook, opened it and handed it to the manager.

The manager took it and looked at it. When he saw the string of zeros on it, his eyes widened and his mouth couldn't close.

After a long moment, he looked at Jiang Wan in shock and asked, "Are these all yours?"

Jiang Wan said unhappily, "Isn't my name on the passbook? Isn't that enough to prove it?"

The manager nodded hurriedly upon hearing this: "Yes, yes, of course, I'll do it for you now."

Then he asked, "How long do you plan to rent it for?"

Jiang Wan thought for a moment and asked, "How much do you charge now? If I renew my lease for a long time, will there be any discount?"

The manager replied: "Of course, our safes are measured by space. The smallest size is about 0.02 cubic meters."

"It's such a big space. The monthly rent is 30 yuan. But the lease starts at least 5 years later."

The price is really not low. No wonder they need to verify the capital. Ordinary people probably can’t afford it.

Jiang Wan thought for a moment and asked, "Are there any larger grids?"

The manager nodded: "Yes. In addition to the 0.02 cubic meter, there are also 0.04 cubic meter, 0.8 cubic meter, and 1 cubic meter."

"One cubic meter is the maximum, there is no bigger one."

Jiang Wan said: "Tell me about the charge standard for one cubic meter."

When the manager heard that the other party wanted the largest one, he was overjoyed and hurriedly introduced: "Our bank has a discount for 1 cubic meter now. The monthly rent is 100 yuan."

"If you pay 10 years' rent in one lump sum now, it would be 1 yuan."

One cubic meter costs ten thousand yuan for ten years, which is not cost-effective for others. Ten thousand yuan, even if the salary has increased now, still makes you a millionaire.

As a result, here, just to rent such a small space, the ten thousand dollars is gone!

However, if you look at it in the long run, especially ten years later, ten thousand yuan is really a bargain.

Seeing Jiang Wan was silent.

The manager continued, "If you pay for 10 years at a time, that's yuan. That means all the small changes have been removed. It's a good deal!"

Jiang Wan looked at him and asked, "In other words, after I pay the 1 yuan, I can use this cubic space for ten years."

"There won't be any extra charges in the next ten years, right?"

"If prices rise in the future, will they ask us to pay more?"

The manager hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, our bank has a very good reputation and will never do such a thing. You can rest assured."

Jiang Wan nodded, but Gu Qing was very calm.

Seeing that the two had finished their conversation, he came over curiously and asked:

"You're going to make a cubic one?"

Jiang Wan shook her head and looked at the manager and said, "I want one of each size of safe you have here, and ten of the one-cubic-meter ones."

"Each lease is for fifty years."

After a pause, he added in the manager's surprised eyes: "Otherwise, you can ask the boss of your bank, since I have rented it for such a long time, can you give me a discount?"

The manager was completely stunned. He stood there frozen, as if he were petrified.

Seeing that he didn't react, Jiang Wan stretched out her hand and snapped her fingers in front of him.

"Manager, wake up!"

The manager came back to his senses and quickly agreed: "Wait a minute, I'll go ask our boss."

After saying that, he ran away.

Not only the manager was confused, even Gu Qing was confused.

After the manager left, Gu Qing came over in shock and asked:

"Sister-in-law, are you serious? You actually want to rent 10 cubic meters of space. How much does that cost for 50 years each?"

“Even if you have money, you don’t spend it like this.”

"If you have too much money and stuff and nowhere to hide it, you can make your own safe."

"I heard that safes are very safe nowadays. At least after you spend the money once, you don't have to worry about it anymore."

Jiang Wan shook her head.

She had heard of this bank before. In her previous life, a big boss had done the same thing.

When this bank first started its safe deposit box business and opened it to the public, he spent a lot of money to rent hundreds of safe deposit boxes here.

He did not keep these hundreds of safes for his own use. Instead, he rented them all out after 10 years.

At first, the price he got was very low, said to be a bargain.

It’s still the same price as cabbages grown in rotten fields.

But when he rented it out, the price was sky-high.

You have to know that in the 90s and 2000s, during these 20 years, the country was in rapid development and all industries had taken off.

There are many rich people, but the society is rather chaotic.

The number of thieves also increased.

There are also countless cases of extortion and robbery. Such bad guys can be found everywhere. It is not that the government is not taking action or that the public security personnel are incompetent. It is mainly because the social supervision is not strong enough.

In this case, even if you have a mansion and a big safe, anything that is targeted will be stolen.

The saying that the devil is as cunning as a righteous man is more prudent than you is is basically non-existent in those decades. How many rich families had their money taken away in this way.

In addition to this bank, other banks also launched safe deposit box business in the following years.

But the first one to come forward was this commercial bank.

What Jiang Wan remembers most vividly is that this commercial bank has an excellent reputation.

Anything stored inside is guaranteed not to be lost for 100 years. She remembered that there was an accident in her previous life where the safe was pried open and the things inside were stolen.

Afterwards, the commercial bank compensated the lessee of the safe twice the amount of the lost items, which shocked the industry.

In the circle of wealthy people, it is indeed jaw-dropping.

Of course, it was a blessing in disguise as the bank received a huge amount of financing afterwards.

It has also been developing more and more rapidly internationally, even becoming one of the top 50 international banks.

Therefore, she felt at ease renting the safe here and there shouldn't be any problems.

But I can’t explain these words clearly to Gu Qing.

Gu Qing stroked his chin and pondered for a while, and saw that Jiang Wan looked very determined and would not be moved at all.

He gritted his teeth and made up his mind to ask, "Sister-in-law, tell me the truth. Will this safe also increase in value in the future, or even become hard to find? Or is there any business opportunity here?"

Jiang Wan was speechless for a moment, looked at him and said, "I want to rent so many boxes because I have things to put in them."

"I personally like antiques, as well as some calligraphy and paintings, and I have collected some over the years."

"It's not a lot, but it's not very safe to keep it at home, so I want to hide some of the valuables here."
