Chapter 119 HSBC is in chaos
On June 15, 1985, a week after Zhang Wolf invited President Xu for afternoon tea.
HSBC's top management has had problems one after another.
Vice President Richard committed suicide by jumping off a building.
The senior economic adviser absconded with the money and swept away a large amount of the client's money.
Minister of Investment, choked to death while eating.
HSBC CEO Shen Congee resigned.
Then there was news and rumors that HSBC had made a mistake in decision-making and suffered huge losses in foreign investment!
Almost half of the wealthy businessmen in Hong Kong have transferred their funds to Standard Chartered and other banks.
Then there was a run in front of HSBC.
The Heung Kong Police Station urgently dispatched police officers to maintain it.
The community in Xiangjiang has just been cleaned up by Zhang Wolf, and the public security has never been better, although the run tide is constantly expanding, but there is no opportunity to make trouble.
HSBC's stock plunged.
Thirty-two down limits.
HSBC urgently announced the suspension of trading, which stopped the continued decline.
On June 20, 1985, when the Governor's Office of Hong Kong was about to intervene in the HSBC incident, the Governor of Hong Kong, Youde, suddenly suffered a heart attack, and after being rescued, he became the first Governor of Hong Kong to die in office.
The salaries of civil servants in Hong Kong are paid through HSBC.
If there is a problem with HSBC, then the whole of Hong Kong will be in chaos.
British Prime Minister Iron Lady convened a meeting overnight to study the appointment of the governor of Hong Kong and the issue of HSBC.
"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone knows the problem of Xiangjiang, we must come up with a feasible plan as soon as possible, and we must not ask the problem of Xiangjiang and worsen it!
Otherwise, there is no need to wait until 97, and the Chinese side will use this as an excuse to take over Xiangjiang ahead of schedule. The Iron Lady said straight to her cabinet.
"According to our intelligence, all of this is related to Zhang Wolf of the Fude Group!
According to all the analysis of our intelligence officers' investigation, Zhang Wolf of this Fu Group used Chinese mysterious feng shui techniques to kill Youde, and the successive incidents of HSBC are also related to feng shui!" Smith, the director of British intelligence, stepped forward to report the information they had.
According to what our Ministry of Foreign Affairs has learned, this Zhang Wolf can speak of the most generous philanthropist in the world, with donations of all kinds in the hundreds of millions of dollars every year!"
"According to what we have learned, Zhang Wolf's purpose is to wholly acquire HSBC!
Before the HSBC accident, he once invited Li Chaoren from Xiangjiang to his home for a secret talk!
Subsequently, Li Chaoren began to lobby various wealthy businessmen in Heung Kong to withdraw their funds from HSBC. ”
"Xiangjiang must not be chaotic! Let's talk about it, how should we deal with it?"
"I think we can use feng shui to feng shui! Since Zhang Wolf is using feng shui to disrupt the situation in Xiangjiang, then we can find a feng shui master to break Zhang Wolf's feng shui bureau!" Intelligence Director Smith stepped forward and suggested.
"I think we should first stabilize the situation at HSBC and mobilize funds to inject into HSBC to deal with the widening run. The Minister of Commerce suggested.
"I think we can talk to Zhang Wolf! He also has many industries in Britain, and I believe he will not be willing to make too much trouble with the British government. Foreign Minister Blake expressed his opinion.
At this time, Zhang Wolf leisurely accompanied his wife and children to visit the scenery of Southeast Asia, and looked at the light of merit above his head and smiled bitterly.
Starting from the jump of the vice president of HSBC, the light of merit above Zhang Wolf's head, like HSBC's stock, began to dive.
As time passes, the light of merit that illuminates the overhead continues to dissipate.
As for the British idea, it was not at all on his radar.
The feng shui bureau he set up, except for his master Qingyuan Daochang, no one has broken it.
He is not afraid of the British government's rudeness and hooliganism, and behind him stands a rapidly rising China.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Zhang Wolf had no intention of hiding from anyone.
He just told the British government that HSBC wanted it!
Do you want to let it go?
Cabinet meetings in the UK continue.
Everyone expressed their opinions, and finally made a decision under the wisdom and decisiveness of the Iron Lady.
"With a two-pronged approach, the Intelligence Bureau is responsible for finding a powerful Feng Shui master and breaking the Feng Shui Bureau.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Zhang Wolf got in touch to negotiate!"
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs acted very quickly, and the next day Zhang Wolf received a notice from the company, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a commissioner to meet Zhang Wolf.
"I'm waiting for them on Kirin Island!" this was Zhang Wolf's reply.
Qilin Island is a private island that Zhang Wolf arranged for Ye Xiaoxian to buy when his son was born.
Named after his son's nickname.
It covers an area of 25 square kilometers, which is almost half the size of the Kowloon Peninsula.
Originally belonged to Malaysia.
After more than two years of renovation and construction, the original uninhabited island is now a resort island with modern facilities.
Zhang Wolf and his family are now vacationing on this small island.
The British Foreign Office Commissioner did not let Zhang Wolf wait for a long time, and soon took a speedboat from Malaysia to Kirin Island.
"Mr. Zhang, I'm Clyde from the British Foreign Office!
We ask you to stop all criminal acts against HSBC immediately!
Otherwise, you will be responsible for all the consequences arising therefrom!" As soon as the British Foreign Office Commissioner came up, he warned Zhang Wolf very arrogantly.
"I don't understand what you're talking about! If you think I've committed a crime, you can ask the Chinese government for extradition, or shut down my Fude group!"
But please show the evidence!" Zhang Wolf glanced coldly at the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"Alright, Mr. Diplomat, I'm busy, you can go!
Go collect evidence, prosecute me, or send the police to arrest me!" Zhang Wolf waved his hand and motioned for the security guards to chase people away.
Clyde, a major in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was very politely invited out of Kirin Island.
The next day, Zhang Wolf was making sand sculptures with his son and little sister on the beach.
Sun Jiahui came to inform him that the British Foreign Minister was going to talk to him on the phone.
As for the arrogant diplomat, Clyde has already been fired.
Foreign Minister Blake was angry and wanted to kill him, at this time, is this the time when you are arrogant?
If there was evidence, they would not have been sent to negotiate with Zhang Wolf.
Instead, he directly sent the police to seize the Fude Group and prosecute Zhang Wolf.
"Mr. Zhang, I am Blake, the Secretary for Foreign Affairs of the British Government......"
"Hello Mr. Black, if you're here to ask for a crime, then don't bother talking!" Zhang Wolf interrupted Blake directly.
"No!no! I'm here to ask Mr. Zhang for help! Recently, HSBC has encountered some problems, and we know that Mr. Zhang can help us solve these problems!
Therefore, on behalf of the British Royal Government, I communicate with Mr. Zhang!
See what kind of price do we have to pay to get Mr. Zhang to help?"
