What happened outside did not affect Rockefeller's privacy.
After eating a piece of delicious mandarin fish, ghost girl Catherine picked up a napkin to wipe her mouth and asked Rockefeller: "Sir, do you really want to go to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange this afternoon? Aren't the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Far East Securities Exchange competitors?
?”
Rockefeller smiled and put down his fork. He was not a young man and could quickly learn to use chopsticks, and the fork was more comfortable.
"Do you know why I came to Hong Kong this time?" Rockefeller asked the ghost girl Catherine, and the portable translator said.
"Weren't you invited by Mr. Pitjian? He donated a villa here to the Lowe Foundation, and you came here to thank him." Catherine said, knowing some of the inside story.
"Haha, you only know one thing but not the other." Rockefeller wiped it with a napkin, crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the spittoon at his feet.
"I came here because Hong Kong people have a lot of money!"
"How much money?" Catherine was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Is it more than us Americans?"
Rockefeller laughed and said: "If the United States and Hong Kong were the same size, maybe we could compare them."
Seeing that Rockefeller spoke so solemnly, Catherine stopped laughing and listened intently to Rockefeller's explanation.
"Hong Kong is the financial center of the Far East. The British dominate the finance and economy. It has developed rapidly in recent years! Coupled with the large-scale immigration, do you think it is very similar to the United States in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China?"
The translator Kaikese and Gui Lao were speechless. If you think about it carefully, they are really similar.
Although Hong Kong is the land of the Chinese, it was occupied by the British. The United States was originally the land of the Indians, but it was occupied by the white people. Both places are large immigration areas. The United States accommodates people from all over the world, black, white, and yellow.
.In Hong Kong, there are Chinese, Vietnamese, Indians, Filipinos, etc.
"The most important thing is that Hong Kong's development has now reached a bottleneck period." Rockefeller expressed his insight, "Just like the early days of Wall Street in the United States, many Americans did not understand stocks or stock trading, but many stock exchanges were established.
"
"It's the same in Hong Kong now. There was already a Hong Kong Stock Exchange, but in order to control their own destiny in the stock trading market, the Chinese here actually founded the Far East Stock Exchange again! What does this mean, do you know?"
Rockefeller asked.
"The financial industry representing Hong Kong will get better and better." Catherine said.
"Financial competition on behalf of Hong Kong has begun to become fierce." Gui Lao translator said.
"Wrong!" Rockefeller laughed, "It means there are a lot of sheep here, and they are fat and strong, which is perfect for people like me to come here to collect wool!"
"The literacy rate of Hong Kong people is still very low, but there are two stock exchanges opened at once. In other words, people here don't actually know how to trade stocks. They regard the exchanges as casinos! They think stock trading is gambling! They are not interested in stocks.
They seem to have little understanding of trading, and they even have a vague understanding of the principles of stocks! These people think they know everything, but in fact they know nothing. People’s money is the easiest to make!”
Rockefeller picked up his fork, forked a ball and threw it into his mouth. While chewing, he said: "I remember well, the Hong Kong stock market began to rise in the 1930s. At that time, more than 800 factories in Hong Kong suddenly closed down.
Many companies, because they treat the stock market as a casino, many bosses took the workers’ hard-earned money to gamble, but in the end it was all harvested by the British who were in charge of their destiny!”
"Since then, the Hong Kong stock market has been in a slump, and many people are afraid of the big casino called the stock market. But when Hong Kong people gradually became rich, they began to try to play in this casino again. This time, Hong Kong people learned to be smart and know how to play.
Make your own rules and know how to compete with the British. This Far East Stock Exchange is the product of this kind of competition!"
Rockefeller put down his fork and took a sip of tea, "So what you see is competition and Hong Kong's financial industry is getting better and better, but what I see are opportunities!"
"Hong Kong is a small place, but there are 23 banks, big and small. The largest ones are HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, and Citibank. The first two are British banks, and only Citibank is our American bank.
What I, Rockefeller, have to do this time is to station our Chase Bank in Hong Kong and become one of the four major foreign banks in Hong Kong!"
At this moment Rockefeller finally showed his ambition.
"I want to have a good relationship with the Far East Exchange, and I also want to have a good relationship with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. According to the Chinese, it is called 'having both sides', and in the words of us Wall Streeters, it is called profit first! So you prepare, this afternoon
We still have a tough battle to fight! Only when these two major exchanges are completed can we, Chase Bank, truly set foot in Hong Kong, let Hong Kong people deposit money into our bank, let our bank's money be invested in Hong Kong, and let the Hong Kong stock market become a supply
The arteries of our blood!”
…
After listening to Rockefeller's "teachings", Catherine felt a tightness in her chest. She originally thought that this trip to Hong Kong was just a simple "thank you" act. Shi Zhijian had done charity, and Mr. Locke came over to commend him. Unexpectedly, he had such a gift.
of great strategic significance.
Catherine left the private room and came to a deserted place nearby. She took a deep breath and took out a box of women's menthol cigarettes from her bag. She bit one on her lips. Just as she was about to light the cigarette, she saw a lighter click.
Hit it in front of her.
Catherine was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and saw that the hateful Hong Kong policeman from the morning was looking at her with a smile.
When Ding Yongqiang saw Catherine looking at him, he pursed his lips and said, "I'm just helping you light a cigarette, nothing else."
Catherine lit the cigarette with a lighter, folded her arms, leaned against the wall and looked at Ding Yongqiang, taking a long puff and blowing out the smoke.
When Ding Yongqiang saw that Catherine was ignoring him, he started gesticulating in broken English and said in a mixture of Chinese and English: "This morning, that Mao Ning! What about me, I'm so embarrassed. Is it the eggs that Rui pickled?"
"I don't mean to be disrespectful to you. It's okay for me to light a cigarette for you. You don't need to feed your mother three pills!"
"Do you understand what I'm talking about?"
Catherine couldn't bear it anymore and said in Cantonese: "Your English is terrible!"
"Ah, can you speak Chinese?"
"A little bit."
"That's good!" Ding Yongqiang hurriedly scratched his head, "Then did you understand what I just said?"
"Listen a little bit." Catherine smoked a cigarette and glanced at Ding Yongqiang with her sapphire eyes.
Ding Yongqiang giggled and said: "Just understand! I don't want you to misunderstand. We Hong Kong people are very hospitable, not the perverts you think!"
Catherine looked coldly: "No need to explain anymore."
Ding Yongqiang scratched his head. Seeing that Catherine was so indifferent to him, he was about to turn around and leave, then turned back and said: "Well... ahem, I want to ask you a favor before I leave, can you?"
Seeing Ding Yongqiang's appearance, Catherine couldn't help but wonder: "What are you doing?"
"Well, can you help me get some food?"
"Well?"
"I see you three have such a big table of food. It's a waste if you can't finish it! Why don't you help pack it for us! My colleagues and I are protecting you outside. We haven't eaten anything yet. I'm so hungry!" Ding Yongqiang held his stomach.
A look of grievance.
Catherine was dumbfounded. She never expected that Ding Yongqiang would make such a request.
Help him pack?
…
"Now, look, Miss Catherine, I'm not talking nonsense! We were standing guard at the door of your private room just now, but we all saw a large plate of saliva chicken, braised pork elbow, a large plate of Sixi meatballs, and steamed mandarin fish! Yes!
Yes, I remember clearly there are fried three treasures!" Ding Yongqiang drooled, counting the treasures from his family.
Catherine was so angry that she almost closed her eyes, "Are you protecting us? Do you remember those delicacies so clearly?"
"I don't want to, but my stomach is not up to par! It's growling like a stuffed toad, look!" Ding Yongqiang lifted up his shirt and saw that his belly was really growling.
Catherine looked surprised and couldn't help but reach out and poke Ding Yongqiang's belly.
"Don't poke it too hard, it will break easily!" Ding Yongqiang said.
Catherine was speechless. She retracted her hand and took out a tissue from her bag to wipe her fingers. She looked disgusted and said, "Just wait, I'll get you something to eat later!"
"Really?" Ding Yongqiang was overjoyed and almost reached out to hug Catherine.
Catherine glared at him, and Ding Yongqiang quickly retracted his hand, scratched his head and said with a silly smile: "Sorry, that's how I am. I get carried away easily when I hear there is something to eat! Ahem, don't be offended!"
Catherine snorted coldly, then took the small bag and prepared to go back to the private room.
Ding Yongqiang waved his hands from behind and thanked her loudly: "Feed your mother with three pills again! It's really good to feed your mother! I'll be waiting for you outside the hotel! You must come over!"
…
"Ah Rong, I've done it! That foreign girl will come over with food in a moment!"
Ding Yongqiang found his companion Ren Da Rongle and said without any expense.
Ren Darong frowned and said, "Why bother me? This is a restaurant. We can eat whatever we want!"
"It's different!" Ding Yongqiang said, "If you ask the restaurant for it, you have to pay for it! If you ask for it at the restaurant, you don't have to pay for it!"
Ren Darong looked at Ding Yongqiang in surprise, "Actually, we can do it without paying."
"Isn't that free food? I, Ding Yongqiang, always pay for my food!" Ding Yongqiang spoke righteously.
Ren Darong couldn't help but look at Ding Yongqiang carefully.
Everyone in the police community knows that Ding Yongqiang is now hanging out with Chen Xijiu, and Chen Xijiu is a popular person close to the former Chief Inspector Lei Luo.
Who is Lei Luo?
The boss of the black gold empire of Hong Kong police!
If I had to use one word to describe him, it would be - greedy!
For such a greedy person, how can there be anyone around him who is not greedy?
But the Ding Yongqiang in front of him is a weirdo!
"Why, you don't know me? You should have known my character when you were in the police force! A Jian also said that others can be corrupt as a police officer, but I can't! Do you know why? Because I know A Jian's words.
, If you are greedy, you will die!"
"Ahem, I must have made a mistake. Those who do unjust things should be punished by themselves!"
"They're all the same!" Ding Yongqiang took out a cigarette and threw it up handsomely and held it in his mouth! He had learned this trick for a long time. He saw Shi Zhijian doing it before and thought it was very cool and could be used to pick up girls.
"Also, don't think that I don't know. Shangfeng sent you here to perform the mission with me this time because I want to push you to a higher position! In fact, I don't care, I'm just Detective Hua! You were better than me in the police academy
, I am convinced that you are in charge!"
Ren Darong did not expect Ding Yongqiang to be so direct, "Ahem, we can compete fairly! You are also very good, and you have solved so many major cases before."
Ding Yongqiang squinted his eyes and took a puff of cigarette, blowing out a beautiful smoke ring. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a scream from Catherine.
"What happened?" Ding Yongqiang was shocked and ordered Ren Darong, "You stay here and I'll go take a look!"
Ding Yongqiang entered the hotel and happened to see a drunk man surrounding Catherine in the lobby. Catherine was still holding a packing box in her hand.
"Golden cats? Golden cats are my favorite! Haha, give me a price and play with me!" This drunk customer saw Catherine carrying a take-out box and regarded her as the most popular "takeaway girl" at the moment.
.
These "takeaway girls" often go to hotels and restaurants and use packaging as a cover to conduct sex business.
Catherine had never encountered this kind of thing before. She helped pack some things for Ding Yongqiang in the private room, but when she left the private room, there was no sign of Ding Yongqiang. Then she remembered that he had made an appointment with her to meet outside the hotel.
Also, it’s a bit embarrassing to eat packaged food in a hotel, but it’s more convenient to eat outside.
So Catherine walked out of the hotel with the packing box, but she didn't expect to meet this drunk man. This drunk man was tall and had a sinister face. He was not a good guy at first sight.
Catherine was held by the other party's wrist, and she felt that the other party's eyes were blood red, and a wave of bad breath hit her face. She was so sick that she was about to vomit.
When the restaurant waiters around saw this scene, they didn't dare to stop him easily, because they knew that the drunkard was the famous villain on the road - Ghost Face Cai!
Ghost Face Choi is a popular member of the Fourteen Ks in Hong Kong's four major societies. The boss is the leader of the society, Ge Tianwang. He is usually arrogant and domineering on the road, and no one takes him seriously. He is a ruthless person!
"Why, are you afraid that I don't have money? You know what I say, I have a lot of money! If you don't believe me, I'll show it to you!" Ghost-faced Cai Yin smiled and took out a roll of Hong Kong dollars, reaching out and stuffing it into Catherine's chest.
Ganbujie said: "Wow, your boobs are so big, I like big boobs the most! Let's play some wild things later!"
"Playing with your mother!" When Ding Yongqiang saw that Catherine was in danger, he rushed forward and kicked Ghost Face Cai in the waist.
Ghost Face Cai was so drunk that he didn't expect that someone would dare to attack behind his back. He was kicked to the ground by Ding Yongqiang, and even his teeth were knocked out!
Catherine's wrist was originally held by Ghost Face Cai. When Ghost Face Cai fell down, he suddenly grabbed her with him. Catherine staggered and was about to fall down!
Ding Yongqiang turned around and put his arms around her waist, holding her tightly in his arms!
Catherine felt like the world was spinning. Just when she was about to fall, someone protected her. Her head fell into an embrace full of male hormones!
She raised her sapphire-like eyes, and then she saw Ding Yongqiang's resolute black face and his arrogant big nostrils.
