676: Chapter 665 676: Chapter 665 The female clerk frowned as she checked the balance on the card, which had 500,000.
The clerk’s eyebrows arched slightly.
Although 500,000 wasn’t a lot, it wasn’t a small amount either.
Yet the person in front of her actually wanted to withdraw it in increments of one thousand at a time.
Instantly, the clerk guessed this person must have taken offense to her earlier remarks and was trying to make things difficult for her.
Just 500,000?
Not even enough to meet the minimum withdrawal for scheduling.
Withdraw it a thousand at a time; it’s just five hundred times.
What’s there to show off?
As if I’ve never seen 500,000 before?
The clerk thought disdainfully and then really did proceed to withdraw the money a thousand at a time.
What’s the big deal about 500,000?
A normal stack of hundred-yuan notes amounts to ten thousand.
So fifty stacks make 500,000.
Song Yun placed the money stack by stack on the counter, and the thick pile of cash immediately drew sideways glances from the people around.
“All done.
Is there anything else you need?” The clerk looked at Song Yun condescendingly.
Withdrawing the 500,000 took less than ten minutes.
To show-off, you should at least bring 5 million, then perhaps I’d have to count for a few hours.
Song Yun said to Xiao Hua, “Go get a big bag from my car!”
Xiao Hua obediently nodded and left the bank lobby, while Song Yun then took out another card from his wallet and handed it to the clerk, saying, “Withdraw all the money inside using the same method.”
“Oh?
Got some tricks up your sleeve?” The female clerk was a bit surprised as she looked at Song Yun.
If there were another 500,000 in this card, she’d have to spend another ten minutes counting the money.
Counting ten minutes at a time sure was time-consuming!
“Make it quick,” Song Yun urged, seeing that the clerk was somewhat lost in thought.
“I’m really in a hurry.”
“Yeah, right, think you’re Li Ka-shing?
Always in such a rush; how much is your time even worth?” The clerk muttered under her breath and then slid the card through the card reader, mechanically requesting, “Please enter your PIN.”
“Sure.” Song Yun entered the PIN.
With a touch of curiosity, the clerk glanced at the balance displayed on the computer screen, but then the long string of zeros in that balance left her dumbfounded.
“This…” The clerk stared at the digits in terror, then looked at Song Yun, swallowed, and asked, “You…
want to withdraw all the money here?”
“Yep, bundle it up in stacks of one thousand each, and withdraw it all!” said Song Yun with a nod.
Just then, Xiao Hua entered the bank with a burlap sack and began stuffing the 500,000 on the counter into it.
“Sir…
with such a large transaction…
I need to speak with our manager,” the clerk said, sweat beading on her forehead.
“That’s fine, but I’m in a rush,” Song Yun said.
“After you finish withdrawing this money, you’ll need to help me with some more.” As he spoke, he took four more cards from his wallet.
“The money in these accounts is the same as in the first one; withdraw it all for me,” Song Yun instructed.
The clerk was on the verge of fainting when she saw the balance on Song Yun’s card—a figure she could never imagine in her lifetime.
Ten million!
That card had a balance of a full ten million yuan!
If she were to withdraw that amount one thousand at a time, that would be ten thousand transactions!
Assuming one minute per transaction, that’s ten thousand minutes!!
Ten thousand minutes equates to one hundred and sixty-seven hours, which, converted into days, equals seven days!
In other words, she’d have to count money continuously for a week without eating, drinking, or sleeping!
And looking at the other cards, if what this young man said was true, that would be four more weeks of counting for the clerk, nearly driving her to the brink of collapse.
“US$ 72 was a waste of your time, but withdrawing this money shouldn’t be, right?” Song Yun asked with a smile.
There’s a saying, “Count money until your hand cramps.”
The clerk believed that if she really had to withdraw this ten million a thousand at a time, by the time she finished, it would indeed be the time of her hand cramping!
It appeared that counting money to the point of hand cramps wasn’t necessarily a good thing!
“Sir, for such a large withdrawal, I need to talk to our general manager,” the clerk said, standing up.
She didn’t wait for Song Yun to respond and immediately ran to a manager’s office behind the counter.
“Brother, let’s go,” Xiao Hua said, hugging the bag of money and eyeing the people around with some wariness.
“Ha ha, no rush; it’s just 500,000 after all.
In a while, we can take it straight over to that estate.
If we like it, we can buy it with cash on the spot.
Just imagine, bringing a sack of money to buy a house—how powerful, how nouveau riche!” Song Yun said with a laugh to reassure her.
Soon enough, a gaunt middle-aged man came out from the general manager’s office, the female clerk trailing behind.
“Hello, are you the one withdrawing ten million?” the general manager asked in a soft voice.
“Yes!” Song Yun nodded and spoke through the bulletproof glass, “Withdraw it a thousand at a time and take all the money from these four cards out for me!”
“But sir, for large cash withdrawals, we usually require an appointment!” the general manager said with a placating smile.
“And since this is such a substantial amount, may I ask what you intend to do with all this money?”
“Do I need to report to you why I’m withdrawing my own money?” Song Yun looked at the manager disdainfully and said, “I’m withdrawing money because I want to see what it feels like to have so much money all in one place.
Once it’s all out, I’ll deposit it back into your bank.
I’ll come once a week to deposit and withdraw.
That way, you all won’t be so idle!”
“Sir, if you have any complaints about our work, please don’t hesitate to give us feedback.
We will correct our mistakes,” the general manager immediately realized that Song Yun had come specifically to cause trouble.
But an account holder with tens of millions in deposits was a major client, so he had to accommodate.
There was no legal stipulation that money withdrawn the same day couldn’t be redeposited.
“There’s no real issue.
It’s just that, in my view, some people here have too much idle time.
Especially certain individuals whose time is too precious.
My sister was criticized for wasting time when she withdrew US$ 72.
Can’t help it, since withdrawing US$ 72 was a waste of their time, I thought I’d withdraw a bit more and not waste it.
Here are five cards.
If you can count all the money, I’ve got some black cards in my company—not much, just a few billion.
I’ll come and let you count those later!” Song Yun spoke mockingly.
The manager immediately understood the entire situation.
Looking at the female clerk beside him, the general manager said, “Well…
in our line of work, oversights do happen from time to time.
And with the heavy workload every day, a little frustration is understandable, right?”
“Understanding is one thing; apply it to your own conduct.
Why didn’t you understand when my sister was withdrawing money?
I’ll tell you, my time is very valuable!
Hurry up and count it for me, otherwise I might just have someone accuse this bank of embezzlement.
If customers can’t withdraw their own money, then what credibility does such a bank have?” Song Yun’s face was brimming with arrogance.
“Well… I’m terribly sorry, this was an oversight in our work,” the manager could only bow and scrape in apology to Song Yun.
