When I came downstairs to see the visitor, after some introduction, I learned that the visitor was not simple, Standard Chartered Bank came to a vice president, named Richard in English, and HSBC came to the chairman's secretary, named Howard. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The three of them sat down to say a few words, and Richard and Howard explained their intentions, all for the sake of saving. In order to collect the deposit, the vice president and the secretary of the chairman were dispatched, obviously not really for the 50 million cash, I am afraid that they knew the role played by Su Zhongjie in the live broadcast. Come and pull the relationship.

Su Zhongjie understood this, and he was in trouble for a while, if it was just a bank, it would be easy to do it, and he would have deposited the money in it. Now there are two banks, and they are unwilling to deposit money separately, so offending one bank is more than worth the loss. After thinking about it, he asked the waiter to bring a pen and paper, wrote a few conditions on the two slips of paper, pushed them in front of the two of them, and said: "Mr. Richard, Mr. Howard, this is my condition, to ensure that the conditions of the two banks are the same, whoever can do it I will deposit the money in whichever bank, if I can't do it, I can only say sorry, and I will talk about it when I have money in the future." ”

Richard and Howard nodded in unison, then picked up the note and read it, both frowning, and then they went to call with a confession.

Soon, Richard came back and said apologetically: "Mr. Su, I am afraid that our bank will not be able to agree to your conditions. I don't think HSBC would have said yes. ”

"On the contrary, our chairman is very interested in meeting Mr. Su, and he is in the VIP room downstairs."

At this time, Howard happened to come in and immediately retorted.

Richard's face changed, he gasped, and asked, "You said that your senior class Shen Bi came in person?!" ”

If this is the case, I am afraid that the importance of this Mr. Su will be more than estimated.

Howard smiled faintly, looked at Su Zhongjie, and continued: "Our senior Mr. Shen Bi hopes to have lunch with you, I don't know ...... you."

Su Zhongjie got up and said, "It's a great honor to be invited by the big class, Mr. Richard, I'm afraid I'm going to miss it." ”

Richard knew that he was out, smiled freely, and said very graciously that if there was a chance to cooperate in the future, he congratulated Howard and left.

Su Zhongjie was led to the VIP room by Howard, and met the legendary Taipan Shen Bi for the first time in his life, although Shen Bi's name is Chinese, but he is an authentic British, and was appointed chairman of HSBC in 1977 until his retirement in 1987. During his tenure, HSBC's profitability grew rapidly and its business reached its peak. In 1979, he sold all of HSBC's ordinary shares in British-owned Hutchison to Cheung Kong Asset. In 1980, he used HK$2 billion to support Pao Yugang's purchase of a controlling stake in Wharf, and successively recruited a number of Chinese members such as Li Ka-shing and Tang Lianru to the board of directors of HSBC. In 1985, he also spent 5 billion yuan to build the HSBC head office building, and spent another 3.1 billion US dollars to buy a 51% stake in Ocean Millan Bank in the United States, showing the strong strength of HSBC under his management, so Hong Kong people called him "Taipan King".

The two exchanged a few words, sat down and chatted, talking about Hong Kong's customs and strange things, and soon Shen Bi's words changed: "To be honest, I admire Mr. Su and His Royal Highness the Duke Gerald for being able to persuade His Excellency the Governor of Hong Kong to agree to the live broadcast." ”

It was obvious that he did not know what the Governor knew, but he was suspicious before he deliberately tried it.

Su Zhongjie is not afraid that others will know that he has the ability to cross and collect things at will, but he will not say it at will, so he haha, and changed the topic: "Your Excellency, what do you think of my conditions?" ”

Shen Bi groaned: "Your three conditions, the first is to buy a villa to move in before eight o'clock tonight, this condition is very easy to solve, and the second is to let our bank help buy at least twenty theaters by 20% of the price, as long as you have enough money, it is also easy to solve, only the third condition, exchange 50 million cash for the equivalent of US dollars, and 50 times the leverage to buy gold This is too risky, and our bank can't agree." Unless you have a sufficient security deposit, of course a guarantee from the Duke or the Governor. ”

Su Zhongjie shook his head and said: "I don't have a margin, and I won't let the Duke and the Governor of Hong Kong vouch, but we can make a bet, just bet on the closing price of gold on the next hour today, if I lose, not only will the conditions be withdrawn, but also tell you what you don't know and the Governor knows about me, if I win, then the three conditions HSBC must all agree, and we must go all out to complete it." How, willing to gamble. ”

Shen Bi thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, I'm betting." ”

It was now eleven thirty-five o'clock, and Su Zhongjie wrote a number on the paper and put it in the center of the table.

Waiting until twelve o'clock, Shen Bi knew the closing price of gold over the phone, and then opened the note and looked at it and was stunned, the number on it was exactly the same as the closing price, which was really incredible!

"Mr. Su, you, how did you do it?! It's unbelievable. ”

Su Zhongjie smiled faintly, and said in his heart that of course it was found from the historical market of London Gold, as long as you can go to modern times, you can easily do it. said modestly: "It's just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, but Mr. Shen Bi, if you lose the bet, do you also let me see the strength of HSBC in Hong Kong." ”

"Of course, we at HSBC in Hong Kong will definitely surprise you."

Shen Bi immediately called his subordinates. At the latest, it was no more than noon tea time (before 5 p.m.), not only the villa had to be found, but also the agreement to buy the theater had to be delivered to him.

As soon as the boss called, his subordinates were busy breaking their legs, Shen Bi's order was issued, and the managers of his branches immediately led his subordinates to get busy, most of the wealthy businessmen who worked in the theater had loans in HSBC, and they were found by address, and 20% of the high price was raised, and many people sold them directly. Only Lei Juekun, Chen Rongmei, and Feng Bingzhong, the three big bosses, were discussing the establishment of a joint cinema line, that is, the future Golden Princess Cinema Line, and politely rejected the proposal of HSBC personnel.

At this time, HSBC personnel only got the acquisition agreement of ten theaters, and only completed half of the task, which was a task ordered by Taipan himself, and the consequence of not completing it was probably only to be expelled.

Reluctantly persuaded the three of them to sell the theater again, and said softly and hardly: "Three, this task is an order given by Taipan himself, and it must be completed at the time of afternoon tea, if it can't be completed, of course, I will be resigned, and the three of you will become enemies of HSBC because of this, Mr. Chen, Mr. Feng, the two of you in HSBC's loan is about to expire, I heard that you still want to continue to take out loans, Mr. Lei, I heard that the other shareholders of Kowloon Development are dissatisfied with you and have begun to plot to acquire shares, at this time you are offending us HSBC, hehe...... ”

Lei Juekun and the three of them were a little angry after hearing this, but they were really poked at the weakness, so they had to give in and agree to sell the theater, and when they signed the agreement, they found that the buyer was Su Zhongjie, not HSBC, and stipulated that the payment would be made after half a month, and they couldn't help but sarcastically say: "What kind of character is this Su Zhongjie, who makes your Taipan work so hard to please?" ”

The HSBC staff said, "Didn't you watch the live broadcast? Su Zhongjie is the one who wears the mask of the Monkey King, which can make the Governor of Hong Kong agree to the live broadcast...... Ahem, okay, I've got to go beforehand. ”

As he spoke, he leaked a little, hurriedly stopped, found an excuse and left.

Lei Juekun and the three of them looked at each other, and they all saw the shock in each other's eyes, and they always thought that it was the Hong Kong Governor's campaign to crack down on the gangsters, but now it seems that it is completely because of this Su Zhongjie, so that the Hong Kong Governor can take a political risk and agree to the live broadcast, this person's background must be amazing, and he was still a little unconvinced when he was forced to sell the theater, thinking about finding trouble with Su Zhongjie afterwards, but now he is very glad that HSBC came to buy it. If Su Zhongjie personally came to buy it, he didn't know the details, he would definitely be offended, and he would definitely end up in prison like those gangsters.
