Chapter 337 - 160: American Express Centurion Card_2
In other words, even if American Express gave this black card to the current richest man in the world, if the richest man had no need to use the card for spending, then the card would have no meaning at all because American Express wouldn’t be able to make money off of it, so they wouldn’t waste human and material resources to invite a non-spending richest man in the world...
"Mr. Gu, if you would think back on your consumption during this period, you should understand why I said that you’ve met American Express’s invitation criteria..."@@@@
Jiang Ruxue’s explanation was very simple and straightforward...
Gu Heng also knew why American Express had set their sights on him...
His bank turnover was just too high...
And now, his spending was easily in the hundreds of millions...
Maybe Gu Heng’s wealth didn’t rank among the top in Hua Country, but when it came to personal consumption during this time, he was definitely at the top...
With this thought, Gu Heng decided not to think any further...
He was just troubled by the system reward threshold...
With only one hundred million in his personal account, Gu Heng was anxious every day...
Worried that he wouldn’t be able to produce the money should the need arise suddenly...
American Express was like timely rain for him...
It solved half of his troubles all at once...
As for the high interest charges incurred by credit card spending, Gu Heng couldn’t even be bothered to think about it...
Could it be higher than the system’s rewards?
He would spend first, wait for the system reward to arrive, and then repay the debt. As for the little difference in fees and interest, he could just let American Express make that bit of money...
After all, they had provided him with such a great convenience, so what’s wrong with letting them earn a bit from him?
Gu Heng had only been teasing her...
But he hadn’t expected her to agree straightaway...
However, seeing that she wasn’t resistant to the idea, Gu Heng didn’t say more and went directly to his office...
About ten minutes later, Gu Heng, who was concentrating on checking information about the American Express Centurion Card on his computer, heard a knock on his office door. He closed the webpage on his computer and softly said, "Come in."
Upon receiving permission, Jiang Ruxue pushed open the large door of the office and respectfully said to the few unfamiliar faces behind her, "This is our chairman’s office, please come in."
Clearly...
In such a short time, Jiang Ruxue had already adapted to the role of a receptionist...
The representatives of the American Express Bank, seeing Gu Heng reclining leisurely in his office chair, quickly stepped inside and said, "Hello Mr. Gu, I am Will Riggs, the Greater China Business Manager for American Express Bank, the same person who spoke with you on the phone just now."
The speaker was a tall Caucasian man in a crisp suit, with the look of a consummate industry professional, as were the several accompanying staff members.
Gu Heng stood up to shake hands with him, smiling as he joked, "Mr. Will, there’s no need for introductions, I can tell just from your accent."
Hearing Gu Heng’s light-hearted comment, Will Riggs wasn’t offended, instead he laughed and said, "Perhaps I’m not very talented with language. I’ve been working in Hua Country for nearly 5 years now, and still find it difficult to become proficient in your language. I hope Mr. Gu doesn’t mind."
Gu Heng didn’t dwell long on this topic and led them to the couch, gesturing with his hand, "Please, have a seat."
After speaking, he directed Jiang Ruxue, who was still standing nearby, "Please, bring us a few cups of tea."
Normally, this would be the task of the chairman’s secretary, but since Gu Heng currently had no secretary, he had no choice but to ask Jiang Ruxue...
Following Jiang Ruxue’s departure, the directness characteristic of Westerners was displayed, as Will Riggs continued in his slightly awkward Mandarin, "Mr. Gu, our sudden visit might be a bit presumptuous, and I hope you’ll excuse us.
About the matter of inviting Mr. Gu to become an American Express Centurion Cardholder, we included you on our list about a month ago.
Based on your purchase of a 310 million yuan mansion in the capital and your recent 230 million yuan transaction at the car show, we immediately reported your basic information to the headquarters in the United States. After an assessment of your credentials, the headquarters agreed to our Chinese branch’s request and granted us the invitation rights. I immediately called you, only half an hour ago, as soon as I received the invitation rights."
