Successfully deposited 607,000 points into her own supply allocation voucher account.
Tang Li's account now held 7.77 million points, with another 370,000 points remaining in her space, plus some odd change.
After the process was completed, Manager Zhou had the general vouchers brought by Tang Li collected and distributed to those needing to exchange them.
Then, he said to Tang Li, "Ms. Tang, this VIP card for City A is no longer valid."
"This is the new high-level VIP card issued today by our City Jiang. It is unaffected by solar storms. However, it can only be used at our seven exchanges in City Jiang. Please keep it safe."
As he spoke, he produced a brand-new card and handed it to Tang Li.
This card had no magnetic stripe.
One side had only a QR code, while the other side read "City Jiang High-Level VIP Card."
Clearly, it was just a plain card, and what mattered was the QR code on it, which was naturally unaffected by geomagnetic storms.
Tang Li asked curiously, "High-level VIP? What does that mean?"
In her previous life, Tang Li had only heard of VIPs in City A and other cities, never "high-level VIPs." She didn't know what it meant.
Manager Zhou, with a hint of pride, introduced Tang Li:
"Our City Jiang is the center of the entire eastern region of Country Z, and the eastern region of Country Z is the economic center of the whole country, attracting many wealthy individuals, entrepreneurs, and international capital."
"These people's industries are spread across the country, and the compensation they can receive after their assets are officially requisitioned will naturally be an astronomical sum!"
"Therefore, our VIP standards in City Jiang are higher than in other cities, and we have also established different levels."
"Above 100,000 points is a regular VIP, above 1 million points is an elite VIP, above 10 million points is a high-level VIP, and above 100 million points is a supreme VIP."
Tang Li was not surprised by this.
She had known for a long time that City Jiang had a particularly large number of wealthy individuals.
Many real estate developers, with just the unsold houses in a single residential complex, could likely exchange them for tens of millions of points.
Not to mention the owners of large chain supermarkets, food processing plants, and garment factories.
The inventory they held was astonishing, incomparable to the supplies Tang Li had replicated.
Just like the Boss Niu that Tang Li had contacted before the apocalypse, he was now a high-level VIP in City Jiang.
Although Tang Li had over 8 million points, in City Jiang, it was indeed not enough to be noteworthy.
But…
"My account only has 7.77 million points, which doesn't meet the requirement for a high-level VIP, does it?"
Upon hearing Tang Li's question, Manager Zhou said proudly, "Although I am only a manager of the deposit and exchange department, I can still elevate a VIP's rank."
"Ms. Tang, although the supply allocation vouchers in your account haven't reached over 10 million points, your willingness to trust us at this time and deposit general vouchers into our exchange aligns with the requirements for an upgraded rank."
This was also another reason why Tang Li chose this timing to deposit her general vouchers at the exchange – she wanted to take this opportunity to build a good relationship with the City Jiang exchange.
If she had deposited them normally before or after this, Tang Li would have at most received elite VIP status.
But by offering help in a time of need, alleviating the exchange's urgent situation, not only did she receive personal service from the manager of the deposit and exchange department, but she also leaped to acquire high-level VIP status.
"Then what is the difference between these VIP levels?" Tang Li asked.
Manager Zhou continued to explain, "Depending on the level, the rights and benefits obtained will differ."
"For example, although the official regulations state that each family can only keep one self-occupied residence, and other properties must be requisitioned for the resettlement of disaster victims, high-level VIPs can exchange their self-occupied residences for better houses that we have requisitioned, as long as they pay the difference."
"For another example, supreme VIPs migrating from other cities can obtain residency quotas in City Jiang without going through special talent assessments, and they can also obtain bidding qualifications for luxury villas in the Longmen Lake villa district."
"More differing benefits are detailed in this booklet. Ms. Tang, you can take it back to review."
As he spoke, Manager Zhou handed a booklet to Tang Li.
Tang Li accepted it but did not look at it.
She was not concerned with the current VIP benefits.
What she cared about was the qualification to bid for the right to rent a single-family house after the major earthquake, and the qualification to bid for priority residency in the underground city after its first phase was completed!
Knowing that Manager Zhou was extremely busy and Tang Li had no other matters,
She stood up and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Manager Zhou. I won't delay your time any further."
After saying that, she exchanged pleasantries with Manager Zhou and then left the exchange.
