"Song Dong, if the Bank of China wants gold, it's okay. As long as you have enough dollars and pounds, we at HSBC will immediately transfer cash from London and South Africa. But if you want to buy it in RMB, please forgive us for not being able to accept it...

I can't remember how many times I was rejected today, and the already reluctant smile on Song Lihui's face was almost untenable. Looking at the Englishman in front of him, he could only endure the anger in his heart. If there are still foreign exchange reserves, it is necessary to contact these capitalists who have seen money to do something, and they can directly use overseas institutions to buy them. Isn't there no problem

“…… That's a shame......"

He barely managed to squeeze out a smile, raised the champagne glass in his hand, and touched it with him, but the glass only touched his lips slightly before putting it down. After a few more small talks, it was difficult for him to find a breakthrough on HSBC's side, so he could only find an excuse to leave and look for other targets.

Unfortunately, Song Lihui has been able to speak out, even suggesting that as long as the renminbi is accepted, the mainland will give him preferential measures when entering the mainland, including land requisition, tax reduction and exemption, etc., but there are still few responders. Half an hour passed quickly, and there was still no progress, and he met another person who was also distressed, that is, Xiao Nianqi, president of Bank of China Group.

"Old Xiao, how is the situation over there?"

"Don't mention it, Standard Chartered has been reluctant to let go. A few local banks in Hong Kong offered to help, but at most they only agreed to sell us $700,000 worth of gold. "It is different from Song Lihui, who is forty-nine years old and is about to turn fifty. Xiao Nianqi is a little younger, he looks like he is only thirty-seven or eighteen years old, and he is only forty-one years old this year. Because his father was a nephew of Peng Shuai, and he had the experience of studying in Germany in his early years, he was able to receive the reuse of the state at the age of just over 40 and was sent to Hong Kong, which was about to return to China, to take charge of the situation.

The two men stood together sullenly, as the mainland government ushered in its worst year after a decade of turmoil after last year's political crisis. Western countries have seized the opportunity to stir up trouble, not only withdrawing a large number of factories from the mainland, but also causing tens of millions of workers to complain because of their unemployment. At the same time, the multinational group has taken the opportunity to turn around and force China to repay the high foreign debt it has borrowed to accelerate reform and opening up.

Under the internal and external troubles, the mainland not only lost all the foreign exchange reserves that it had painstakingly saved over the past 10 years of reform, but also had to come up with a large amount of gold reserves to repay its foreign debts. This amount is very large, not one or two tons, but hundreds of tons. As a result, the mainland, which had been impoverished for decades, was hit hard all of a sudden, and although it has now relieved itself, it still needs to eat a large amount of gold reserves to stabilize the balance of payments and domestic finances.

When Song Lihui heard this, his face was even more depressed. Being able to be trusted by the mainland and sent to Hong Kong to serve as the chairman of the Bank of China Group is obviously above all else in his heart. But seeing that the situation has not been opened for a long time, there is a big country in the world behind the renminbi to support, but because of China's long-term poverty predicament, it has not been accepted, and it has to go through the currency of a third-party country to directly purchase precious metals such as gold and machinery and equipment needed for the country's industrial development. All kinds of depression, not to mention how uncomfortable.

Today's cocktail party may be about to fail again.

The two glanced at each other, and they could both see the loss in each other's eyes, and they couldn't help but sigh in unison. If you are backward, you will be beaten, and since the founding of New China, this theory has taken root in the hearts of the Chinese people. After natural disasters and man-made disasters, the country needs to be stronger, the people need to live a good life, and with the concerted efforts of the whole people, we can see chickens, ducks and fish on the dining table, and the country's industrial strength has developed by leaps and bounds, but who would have thought that such a bastard thing could be ushered in at this time. If it weren't for those students, every family would have been able to eat better in the coming New Year.

The people from HSBC stayed for about an hour and quickly excused themselves to leave. Soon after, Yu's son Hang Seng and the representative of Standard Chartered, who also belonged to the British-funded bank, also found an excuse to leave, although the reception was still lively, but many of the people present were some small characters in the Hong Kong financial industry who took the opportunity to socialize, and they were all watching in all directions, and when they saw several giants leaving, many people soon chose to leave one after another. So much so that after an hour and a half of the reception, most of the people in the venue left. Except for some hardcore forces close to the mainland, such as Baosheng Bank, Overseas Chinese Commercial Bank, Zhejiang Industrial Bank, Zhongnan Bank, Xinhua Bank, and Guohua Commercial Bank, they have almost gone a lot.

I didn't notice it at first, but soon Song Lihui saw Lin Xiaozhi and Song Nianhui, who had no idea of leaving, and were talking and laughing with the chairman of Industrial Bank with their wine glasses.

"Old Xiao, who is that person? It was the young man who was with Mr. Liu and the Kowloon Bank Song Terminus

Song Lihui has a good memory, but he remembers Song Nianhui, the new president of the Kowloon Bank.

Xiao Nianqi thought about it, and then remembered who the young man he had gone to say hello just now was, and replied casually: "He seems to be Lin Xiaozhi, the second son of Lin Jiannian, the former chairman of the Bank of Kowloon, I remember that after he had a car accident, it seems that the Lin family is now helmed by him......"

After a pause, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and added: "This young man is amazing, I heard that he only started with two million from his family, made a lot of money by investing in movies, and acquired a number of companies, known as 'Hong Kong's Murdoch,'" Recently, the hottest media hype is the soon-to-be-listed 'Media Asia Group, which is the industry under his name"

"It turned out to be him"

Song Lihui suddenly realized, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Lin Xiaozhi again. Although he rarely watches any entertainment news, Lin Xiaozhi is extremely good at hyping himself, so much so that in the past few years, many of his news have jumped out of the entertainment page, and even made the headlines on the front page of the outdated political version. Song Lihui has to subscribe to "Hong Kong Economic Daily" and "Hong Kong Economic Daily" every day, and from time to time he will see news about him in the newspaper, but he remembers the name Lin Xiaozhi, and when he heard Xiao Nianqi mention it, he immediately knew who this person was.

seemed to notice the gazes of Song Lihui and Xiao Nianqi, and Lin Xiaozhi, who was chatting, glanced up at them. After the three of them looked at each other, Lin Xiaozhi smiled and raised his wine glass in the distance, nodded at the two of them, and then took a sip.

Xiao Nianqi looked interesting, learned from him to raise his wine glass and shook it in the void, and after taking a sip, he praised: "I heard from the investment department that during Iraq's invasion of Kuwait before, this young man made a lot of money in the futures market, and his ability was even more powerful than his old man." "He has met Lin Jiannian, and not only him, he has also met Lin Jili, the founder of the Kowloon Bank.

Song Lihui also learned from the two of them for half a glass of wine, and after listening to him finish speaking, he also became interested, "There is also this matter."

He is the chairman of the Bank of China, and he often travels between Beijing and Hong Kong, and he is also a bigwig in Hong Kong's financial circles, but he doesn't know much about such rumors.

"It should be true, I heard that they made a lot of noise in the past few months, and many people here in Hong Kong have checked it, and they have indeed traced a number of their vest accounts"

Song Lihui listened with great interest, and kept staring at Lin Xiaozhi with a wine glass for a while, and suddenly drank the wine in his hand, and invited a waiter to give him the empty wine glass. Then he turned to look at Xiao Nianqi and said: "Everyone is almost gone, it seems that there is nothing to be gained today, it is better to meet a new friend, and see what magic our 'Hong Kong Murdoch' has in him."

Xiao Nianqi didn't expect that he, who has always been unsmiling, could say such a thing, and he was stunned when he heard it. It was only when he urged him for the second time that he reacted, nodded and learned that he finished the wine, and after beckoning the waiter to return the wine glass, the two walked towards Lin Xiaozhi.
