The American government was forced to negotiate with the escort agency to rescue the hostages. But the negotiations were very difficult and lasted for eight years. 1908, under the mediation of Citibank Shanghai Branch, the escort agency reached an agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States on 108 billion dollars in arrears and war reparations.
At the beginning of the last century, the Southern Patrol Agency, which protected the Qing Treasury, signed a debt agreement with the US government of 654.38+008 billion US dollars, including 4.2 billion US dollars worth of jewelry and gold deposited in Citibank on behalf of the Qing Government, and another 6.6 billion US dollars was compensation for the US military robbing the Qing Treasury.

1900, Eight-Nation Alliance went to Beijing, Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu fled to xi 'an, and Emperor Guangxu abandoned the palace. At that time, the general manager of Daqing South Escort Agency, which had chain organizations all over the country, was the escort agency responsible for managing Daqing Treasury. Chen Yuxin, the chief helmsman, is responsible for transporting gold and silver.
Shortly after the Allied invasion of Beijing, the US military, under the command of officer McAgara, robbed the financial street where banks and pawn shops in China gathered at that time. After reconnaissance, the us military also robbed the treasury of the Qing dynasty. The Southern Tour Department of the Qing Dynasty has always been responsible for keeping the treasury of the Qing Dynasty. After hearing that the vault was robbed, the Wulin master spontaneously organized more than 70 escort agencies across the country under the command of the chief helmsman, taking on the heavy responsibility of protecting the court property.
Under the leadership of Chen Yuxin, the chief helmsman, they not only rescued the gold, silver and a large number of national treasures, jewels and cultural relics from the general treasury of the Qing government and 27 sub-treasuries across the country, but also captured two US military officers.
They thought that even if American troops robbed the treasury of the Great Qing Dynasty, their banks would still be safe. So, they put the remaining property in the national treasury in the warehouse of Citibank, which they thought was safe. After all the dust settled, Chen Yuxin led hundreds of people into the American Embassy at night and kidnapped seven Americans, including McAgara.

In order to facilitate preservation and anti-counterfeiting, at the request of the Chinese side, Bank of America made debt certificates with gold. In this way, these handmade gold coupons can last for 20 years.
Bank of America does not recognize wrong vouchers.
