After Chu Heng followed Irving to the living room of the mansion and sat for a while, the friend he invited from the Financial Administration Bureau, Queenna Reed, arrived.
After being notified by the housekeeper, the two people hurried out to greet them.
Queena Reed is a white woman in her fifties, with brown hair, tall and thin, wearing a traditional British-style patterned suit, covering almost all the parts of her body that can be covered.
In fact, it seems a bit conservative.
Chu Heng looked at it for a few times and confirmed that it was not a lesbian. He smiled slightly and said that he could handle it.
"Let me see who is here, haha, how are you doing lately? Kunna." Owen walked forward enthusiastically and gave him a gentle hug.
"It's still the same, but it's you. I've heard a lot of tidbits about you during this period." Kunna let go of him with a smile, and glanced at Chu Heng aside, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she was a little too handsome.
.
Just like adult men like young and beautiful girls no matter how old they are, women also like young handsome guys.
"It's just a scandal, don't worry about it." Owen ignored the topic lightly, then pulled Chu Heng over and introduced it to them.
"Let me introduce to you. This is Kunna Reed, a very good friend of mine. This is Heng Chu, who is also a good friend of mine and the father of my godson."
"Oh? It turns out he is the father of our little cute Yu." Kunna raised her eyebrows. Owen sometimes brought Han Yu to some friends' gatherings. She had met him a few times and she liked the little guy very much.
"It's an honor to meet you, Ms. Reed." Chu Heng, who knew at the first glance that this was a traditional woman, followed the British tradition, bowed like a gentleman, stretched out his hand to take Kunna's palm, and gently
He kissed her carefully and behaved in such a proper and rigorous manner that even an old-school gentleman like Irving could not fault her at all.
Kunna looked down at him, feeling the fleeting warmth, her heart secretly stopped, and she forgot to return the gift for a moment.
Owen on the side pursed his lips jealously and teased: "Oh, Kunna, you are very rude, you know?"
"Sorry." Kunna, who was already a fifty-year-old aunt, immediately showed two girlish blushes on her cheeks, and bowed apologetically: "Sorry, Mr. Chu, I was too tired today, and I was a little dazed just now."
"Then it's me who should apologize. I didn't notice how tired you were. Please come inside. Hot tea and snacks are prepared in the room. You can have a good rest." Chu Heng said with a smile.
"You are such a considerate gentleman."
"Your compliment is the greatest recognition I have ever received."
Chu Heng bowed again, put one hand behind his back, and pointed the other hand toward the house.
"Thanks."
Kunna was coaxed so much that she beamed and walked into the house with him with graceful steps.
Owen was left standing.
no!
This is my house!
He stared at the two people speechlessly, then quickly chased after them, followed them into the house, and came to the living room.
Immediately, Chu Heng grabbed the bone china teapot on the table and poured three cups of black tea. He also introduced the pastries on the table and said: "I just tasted this butter shortbread and Welsh cake. They are very good. I will give you my best wishes."
recommend."
"It's really good."
"I heard Mr. Owen say before that you are from Birmingham?"
"Yes, we were born and grew up together there, and we didn't separate until we went to London for college."
"I've been to Birmingham and I really like the weather there."
"Really? Have you been to Canon Hill Park?"
"Of course, I bowled there."
"You also like bowling?"
"It seems you like it too? Then maybe we can play a few games together."
The two of them got together and had a lively chat. Owen tried to join in several times but failed. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't afford to offend anyone, he would have wanted to overturn the table.
Fortunately, he was not left alone for too long. After the two chatted for a while, dinner was ready, and the three of them came out of the living room and went to the restaurant.
After sitting down, Owen, who had not had a chance to say a few words before, felt that he needed to remind the two people whose house they were in. He personally picked up the decanter, poured wine for them, and introduced: "This is 1964.
The Mouton was a gift from a very important friend on my birthday. I have been cherishing it and not wanting to drink it. You are in for a treat today."
"Thank you, Owen." Kunna is an old friend with him. They even slept with him when they were young. Naturally, they were not polite. After clinking their wine glasses, they took a small sip and then took the initiative to challenge Chu Heng.
Open the topic: "Chu, I heard from Owen that he has a friend who wants to open a bank. Is he talking about you?"
"Yes, it's me." Chu Heng swallowed the red wine in his mouth and said with a smile: "I asked Owen to invite you here today because I want to know what are the conditions for opening a bank now."
"There are many conditions that need to be met. First you have to submit an application, which has to go through a series of complex reviews before it can be passed. Of course, with our relationship, this is not difficult, but it will be more complicated and difficult later, the capital
The requirements are the most basic, and at the same time, shareholders must be investigated and a risk management framework and compliance system established..."
After Kunna briefly talked to him, she took the initiative to give him an idea: "Applying for a license to open a bank by yourself is too time-consuming and labor-intensive, so I have a good suggestion. You might as well acquire a bank. It just so happens that a bank is going bankrupt recently.
The bankruptcy process, if you want, I can help you get it done.”
"Oh?" Chu Heng raised his eyebrows after hearing this and asked with concern: "Can you tell me in detail?"
"Of course no problem."
Kunna ignored Owen's indifferent look and said positively: "That bank is called Ming Fai. It is a commercial bank opened by a local businessman on Hong Kong Island. It currently has five branches on Hong Kong Island.
Not long ago, its major shareholder's investment failed, and the bank suffered a run as a result, so it had to declare bankruptcy. If you are willing to take over, I can help you deal with the Hong Kong government and possible competitors, but the specific price still needs to be paid by yourself.
Go talk.”
"Well..."
Chu Heng didn't dare to agree directly. It was because the old foreign woman was too proactive and didn't even mention the benefits. He was worried that there was a trap here, so after pondering for a while, he raised his glass and said:
"First of all, I have to thank you, Kunna, and I am very moved by your proposal. However, I need to go back to the company to discuss such a big matter. Can you give me some time? I will reply to you soon."
"I can delay you for five days at most." Kunna thought for a while and said.
"Thank you, you are such a warm-hearted lady." Chu Heng smiled and handed the wine glass up, touched it with her, and tried to ask: "How much hard work do you need here?"
"What are you talking about? We are friends, aren't we? There is no need for this. I am willing to help you because of the relationship of friends. If you say this again, I will be angry. This is a stain on our friendship!
Kunna stared at him dissatisfied.
"Sorry, Kunna, I thought too much, I apologize to you."
"It won't happen again."
"good."
Seeing that her expression didn't seem to be fake, Chu Heng looked at Owen in surprise.
Didn't you say that she is greedy for money?
Owen's face was expressionless.
I didn't know she was so horny, she has never been like this to me!
