Laihao is really lonely and embarrassed at this time!
He originally thought that since he became JP, he would be different and the media would no longer look down on him.
But when the awarding ceremony was over, no one even wanted to pay attention to me! It was as if I was some kind of plague, and they even avoided me!
On the contrary, the boss Ma Dongchengma who sells groceries in Guangfa and the ghost guy Wei Li from Hutchison Whampoa have become popular in the eyes of the media and are surrounded by everyone for interviews!
People are more annoying than others!
The gap is too big!
Just when Lai Hao was feeling depressed, a voice said: "Why, you were so happy on stage just now, and now you're discouraged?"
Lame Hao looked back, who could he be if he wasn't his good brother Shi Zhijian?
Shi Zhijian was holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand. When Lai Hao turned his head, he handed the flowers to him: "Congratulations, Wu JP!"
Lai Hao grinned, lowered his head and sniffed the flowers with his nose, and praised: "It smells so good!" His tone was full of gratitude!
Xu Sanshao, who came with Shi Zhijian, did not hesitate to give in. He also came over with a bouquet of flowers and handed it to Lai Hao: "There are also mine, take them together first!"
Lai Hao hurriedly took the flowers from Xu Sanshao and said gratefully: "You are so thoughtful!"
At this time, a woman swaying in a cheongsam appeared in front of Lai Hao, "Ah Hao, Ah Luo asked me to give this to you!"
The woman is Lei Luo's wife Bai Yuechang! She also came over with a bouquet of flowers!
Because Lei Luo was training at Scotland Yard, he couldn't come over to support Lai Hao, so he had to ask his wife Bai Yuechang to come over in his place.
"Sister-in-law, how could this happen?" Lame Hao felt sad for some reason and hurriedly stretched out his hand to take the flowers, "I'm interested!"
He originally thought that Lei Luo wouldn't miss him, but he didn't expect that he was overthinking it!
"Brother Hao, you don't have to be so grateful! In fact, besides us, someone else sent us gifts!" Shi Zhijian suddenly said, snapping his fingers as he spoke, and saw Chen Huimin and Dasha holding a large
Piles of flowers and other congratulatory gifts came over.
Lai Hao rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had seen it wrong. Why were there so many?
Look at those gifts with cards on them——
Chen Huimin acted as the singing official and shouted:
"Hutchison Pulsatilla congratulates Ng Kwok-ho on being awarded Justice of the Peace!"
"Fourteenth K Ge Chih-hsiung congratulates Ng Kwok-hao for being awarded Justice of the Peace!"
"Xinji congratulates Qian on Wu Guohao being awarded the Justice of the Peace!"
With this burst of singing, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Many people pricked up their ears!
Especially the media reporters, all turned their heads away!
Chen Huimin suddenly realized it and continued singing:
"Hong Kong Huo Group's Fok Zhenting congratulates Mr. Ng Kwok-hao on being awarded Justice of the Peace!"
"Wendi Su of Hong Kong Bao Group congratulates Mr. Ng Kwok-hao on being awarded Justice of the Peace!"
"The Hong Kong Lam Enterprises Lam Kin Ming City congratulates Mr. Ng Kwok Ho on being awarded Justice of the Peace!"
"Dai Fengnian from Hong Kong Dai Group congratulates Mr. Ng Kwok-hao on being awarded Justice of the Peace!"
"Hong Kong Kowloon Bus Lei Juekun congratulates Mr. Ng Kwok-ho on being awarded Justice of the Peace!"
As Chen Huimin sings -
With a bang, the scene exploded!
The media reporters who had previously surrounded Ma Dongcheng and Gui Lao Wei Li were all stunned!
Their eyes widened, their jaws dropped, and their ears pricked up as they looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief!
How is that possible?
It’s okay to talk about the congratulations from the four major associations in Xiangjiang in the front, but in the back - so many big guys from Xiangjiang came to congratulate Lai Hao?!
At this moment, the people who were even more surprised than the reporters were Ma Dongcheng and Wei Li!
The two of them looked at Lai Hao holding a lot of flowers and the deafening names of Xiangjiang bosses, and their eyes almost popped out!
impossible!
This cripple from a humble background! This guy who can’t stand on the stage! How come there are so many people congratulating him?!
At this moment, Lai Hao couldn't believe his ears!
The first four major societies are okay, but the latter ones - I don't seem to be familiar with them, why do they want to congratulate me?
But Lai Hao immediately understood!
No matter it is the Huo family, the Bao family, the Lin family, the Dai family, or the Kowloon Bus Lei Juekun, people all post congratulations to me because of Shi Zhijian's face!
"A Jian, I -" Lai Hao held flowers in his arms. He could no longer hold back his excitement and held Shi Zhijian's hands tightly, tears streaming down his face!
At the same time, those media reporters had already exploded!
"I'm sorry, Boss Ma! I'll excuse you for a moment!"
"Sorry, Mr. Wei Li! I have something to do!"
These reporters rushed to Lai Hao impatiently and shouted at Lai Hao:
"Mr. Wu, can I do an interview report for you?"
"Mr. Wu, how do you feel about being awarded JP this time?"
Broadcasting and Development boss Ma Dongcheng and ghost guy Wei Li stared blankly at the scene in front of them. There was a crowd of people in front of them just now, so how could there be so many people there all of a sudden?! These bullshit reporters are too realistic!
Lai Hao paid no attention to the reporters who were swarming in. Instead, he looked at Shi Zhijian, at Xu Sanshao, at Bai Yuechang and others, and suddenly said loudly: "I am hosting a banquet tonight, everyone. Don't get drunk."
Come back!"
At this moment, the lame man, who came from a humble background, felt that he could only express his gratitude to everyone by "not getting drunk and never returning"!
Jianghu people!
Either blood!
Or wine!
We make alliances based on blood, and our loyalty will last forever!
Sing to the wine, and you will never return until you are drunk!
…
HSBC Bank Building in Hong Kong.
As the most well-known British bank in Hong Kong, HSBC is located on Queen's Road in Central.
In the 1880s, the Credit Union Bank closed down due to the loss of Ceylon coffee harvest. HSBC obtained the Hong Kong government's current account from the Credit Union Bank and became Hong Kong's quasi-central bank.
In 1872, it was authorized by the British Hong Kong government to issue 1 yuan banknotes to supplement the serious shortage of 1 yuan silver coins, and then became the Hong Kong dollar issuing bank in Hong Kong.
After the Second World War, HSBC shouldered the heavy responsibility of rebuilding Hong Kong's economy. During the Hong Kong economic crisis in the 1960s, the acquisition of Hang Seng shouldered the heavy responsibility of saving Hong Kong's financial sector!
As the most powerful British-owned bank in Hong Kong, the entire HSBC Building is magnificently constructed. Especially the large conference room of HSBC is even more luxuriously decorated. The tables, chairs and other items are all made of valuable antique golden nanmu. There are also hangings on the walls the HSBC acquisitions.
The various celebrity calligraphy and paintings look very grand.
Only the chandeliers in the entire conference room were relatively ordinary Italian crystal chandeliers, which did not match the luxury and splendor of the surroundings.
The reason is that when we were renovating the large conference room of HSBC, we happened to encounter the acquisition of Hang Seng by HSBC. In order to raise funds and show HSBC's determination to fight against the odds, we changed the originally scheduled sky-high price chandeliers to this relatively cheap one.
chandelier.
For the future heirs of HSBC, this chandelier represented the most legendary period of HSBC's history, so the chandelier was retained and never changed.
"We meet so soon, Miss Li!" Shen Bi, vice president of HSBC, no, to be precise, has been promoted to official general manager now. Shen Bi, who is actually the senior manager of HSBC, invited Li Xuexuan to sit down in the conference room with a smile.
Li Xuexuan, who was sitting on the left side of the conference room, said in a cold tone: "Thank you, Mr. Shen, for giving me the opportunity! I thought you were busy and I would have to wait in line until next year to see you!"
Shen Bi smiled and said nothing more.
After the secretary who was responsible for serving the coffee went down, Shen Bi, a 43-year-old powerful foreign student, smiled and said to Li Xuexuan: "Miss Li, you may have misunderstood me a little. I have been really busy recently. As you know, I have just been promoted to the position of general manager, and many things need to be reviewed and handled personally!"
Li Xuexuan sneered and said: "In other words, Mr. Shen is now the real senior manager of HSBC. Congratulations, congratulations!" The tone was full of sarcasm.
"Miss Li seems a little dissatisfied with my promotion to the top class?" Shen Bi took a sip of coffee and looked up at Li Xuexuan.
Li Xuexuan also picked up the coffee, crossed her legs and said: "I heard that Shi Zhijian was the reason why Shen Daban was promoted to a regular job! He saved 600 million in your bank, which made your bank's business soar, and you happen to be He’s the agent for this business, isn’t he?”
I thought Shen Bi was going to explain or conceal something, but unexpectedly he smiled and said, "That's true!"
Shen Bi's statement made Li Xuexuan startled.
Shen Bi put down his coffee, rubbed his palms and looked at Li Xuexuan and said: "Miss Li, what you said is all right! I have been working as the vice president for three years. Regardless of my qualifications or my strength, I am qualified to be promoted. General manager, become the real boss of HSBC! But do you know why I have never been promoted? Because for HSBC, what matters is not qualifications or strength, but performance!"
"Bankers in this world are all selfish and greedy! As a banker, I have absolutely no reason to give up 600 million in savings! If it were you, would you give up?"
Li Xuexuan smiled, with a trace of disdain on his cold face: "In order to have 600 million deposited in your bank and to promote you to the top class, you can disregard morality and not approve our loan from Ricci? You know, we, Ricci We have been partners with HSBC for a long time, and we at Ricci have also borrowed a lot from HSBC, and it is a pleasure to work with everyone!"
Shen Bi spread his hands, "I have made it very clear just now! As a banker, you should not be too emotional. On the contrary, you must remain rational! What is rational is to calculate carefully whether to maintain profits or stop losses! Just right. , Ricci is my stop loss target!”
"Are you the target of stop loss, or are you stepping on a stepping stone to the top?"
"Whatever you say, everything is over now! In view of Li's current business conditions, our HSBC Bank will not continue to provide you with loans! So, unfortunately, Miss Li, there is nothing I can do to help!" Shen Bi faced Li Xue. Xuan shrugged, looking helpless.
Li Xuexuan said no more and hooked her hands behind her.
The ghost guy Wen Zedun who followed Li Xuexuan hurriedly stepped forward and took out a piece of information from his briefcase and handed it to Li Xuexuan.
Li Xuexuan didn't even look at it, and threw it directly to Shen Bi along the conference table: "Since you are a real banker who only cares about interests and not people, then take a look. This loan contract can meet your needs." appetite?"
Shen Bi was not surprised. He reached for the information that was thrown over and flipped it through quickly. It turned out that 20% of the equity of Ritchie Group was used as a loan, and the loan amount was 300 million!
"Daban Shen, you are a smart person. You should understand that the real value of our 20% equity is at least 500 million. Now I only need a loan of 300 million. It is obvious that I am cheapening your bank!" Li Xuexuan browsed in Shen Bi When providing the loan information, he said, "The loan term is one year. If we at Ritchie cannot redeem the 20% equity in one year, then HSBC will become our largest shareholder in Ritchie!"
Shen Bi frowned, seeming to be entangled.
Li Xuexuan stared at Shen Bi and continued: "I understand what you are struggling with. If you lend us 300 million, you will probably lose 600 million in storage, but I can assure you that as long as you are willing to lend, you HSBC will get more than what it got from Shi Zhijian! Of course, you can also refuse, but I will send this agreement to the table of other senior HSBC executives and let them decide whether to lend or not to lend! Until then At that time, Shen Bi, Shen Taipan, I can't help you, everyone is just trying to make a living! It's not easy to find food these days!"
Faced with Li Xuexuan's aggressive attitude, Shen Bi put down the information in his hand and suddenly smiled.
"Very sharp, Miss Li," Shen Bi spread his hands and said, looking at Li Xuexuan with disdain in his eyes, "I know you have always done things unscrupulously, and you will do what you say! But it's a pity, what should I do? I still have to reject your proposal!"
As Shen Bi spoke, he threw the information in his hand back contemptuously and threw it in front of Li Xuexuan.
"Why?" Li Xuexuan was puzzled, "Aren't you afraid of the pressure from the top? Do you know that you are derelict in your duties? Do you know that you are derelict in your duties?"
"Ha~!" Shen Bi laughed, and the laughter was full of contempt. "You only know that Shi Zhijian helped me collect 600 million in savings, but you don't know that HSBC has reached an agreement with Shinhwa and will officially join Shinhwa from today. Real estate group! From now on, all the money spent on Wharf construction will be controlled by HSBC. In other words, it is not 600 million, but 1 billion! Or even more!"
Li Xuexuan hit the ground, and her head felt like it was struck by lightning!
She stood up suddenly and her body swayed!
"Miss Li, are you okay?" Wen Zeton hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern.
Li Xuexuan waved her hand at him, telling him not to act rashly.
Li Xuexuan rubbed her temples with her hands, and then she tried her best to open her beautiful eyes. Her face was expressionless, and she looked calm and confident: "Are all these things you said true?"
"Of course it's true!" Shen Bi said with a smile and shrugged, "As I said, I am a banker. As long as I can help the bank get money, I will give up all principles! So I'm sorry, in Ricci Between the two and Shinhwa, I chose Shinhwa!”
Seeing Li Xuexuan's pale face and shaky body, Shen Bi couldn't help feeling pity for her, and felt a little intolerable, so she said: "Actually, this matter is easy to solve. You only need to go to Shi Zhijian. As long as he is willing to speak, we at HSBC can still I am willing to cooperate with you Ricci!"
Li Xuexuan smiled, a little crazy: "You mean to ask me to beg that pouncer, that bastard?"
Shen Bi shut up and stopped talking.
Li Xuexuan turned around and left, and said as she slammed the door and walked out: "Even if I, Li Xuexuan, kneel down to pray to gods and ghosts, I will not beg Shi Zhijian! Not now, nor in the future!"
