Was Vernon’s statement any better than Andy’s?
A little, but it was still weak.
However, the problem was that Vernon had exhibited the shamelessness of a politician in full glory. He did not talk about the contract, and he did not talk about shameful personal grievances. What exchange rate?
Was it not embarrassing to talk about how Sun Dollars of Sunrise Land was crashed by a foreigner like Jasper?
Despite this, Vernon’s vault upgrade bluff was enough to block Jasper’s retreat.
“Mr. Wasser, let me repeat myself. Since I’m here today, I will definitely take away the gold,” Jasper said.
Vernon said lightly, “Sunrise Central Bank would never deliberately detain any of the properties pledged by a customer, but the transformation and upgrading of the vault is a problem that cannot be avoided, so I’m afraid I have to ask you to wait for a while, Mr. Laine. After the vault is upgraded, we will deliver the gold to your door.”
“And, as compensation, I promise to waive all of your interest.”
Vernon’s shamelessness made Jasper laugh.
“Hey, old man.”
Henry could not help himself anymore. He looked at Vernon impatiently and said, “Do you think everyone from Somerland is a fool? What vault upgrade and transformation? You must be lying! Do you have the guts to take me over to have a look?”
Vernon did not mind Henry’s unreasonableness. He said in relax, “The treasury is the most important place in the central bank. Of course, I can’t let just anyone inside.”
“Stop bullsh*tting! We have 200 tons of gold in it, yet you think we’re ‘just anyone’?”
Henry stood up directly and said with a cold face, “I am always the one reneging on others but this is the first time that others have reneged on me. What even is the central bank? We managed to crash your exchange rate just now.”
