History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 119 The Dispute Begins

He Dingxian was not surprised that Detective Hua and Ms. Chu came to save money, because this is just a way of social relationship, and it will definitely be paid back in the future...

Invite detectives Hua to drink a few more cups of tea, and play with Ms. Chu in the nightclub, but I was very surprised that there was a ghost coming to save money, after putting down the teacup, I asked aloud: "Which officer is it? "

It is impossible for a normal foreigner to save money in a newly opened small bank. Since he came, it must be someone inside the police force who got the wind.

Qiu De even laughed aloud: "A senior inspector named Ge Bai, when he came to save money, he specifically said that he and the boss were working in a mission station."

"It turned out to be him..." He Dingxian suddenly realized, and smiled knowingly, revealing his dimples: "I'm an old acquaintance."

"It seems that you have received some rumors and came to throw stones to ask for directions. By the way, the stock closing is so smooth, you must have released some rumors, right?"

Qiu De said more veiledly: "The opening of a new store always requires some gimmicks. It is true that some vague tricks are used. If the big boss doesn't like it..."

"Whatever."

He Dingxian pressed the teacup and shook his head slowly: "We didn't say anything to death. Believe it or not is their business. The most important thing is to get through the money."

Qiu Degeng felt relieved and said, "Boss, since there are detectives from the New Territories and Hong Kong Island as partners, then the branch offices in the New Territories and Hong Kong Island should be established quickly."

"Firstly, poor people in Hong Kong Island have a lot of money, so their savings must be higher. Secondly, there are relatively few banks in the New Territories. If we open a bank account in advance, we will have a better reputation in the eyes of the villagers."

It's not that there are no banks in the New Territories, but there are few. The poor can't even eat enough to eat, and they don't have money to save. Banking is doomed to fail.

The most developed banking industry is Hong Kong Island and Kowloon.Even if the police on Hong Kong Island want to come to the bank to save money, they can't make a special trip across the sea.

"It takes three to five years for an ordinary person to open a bank. We have only opened for a few days? The semicolon is about to start?" He Dingxian smiled and exaggerated his tone, but there was not much complacency in his eyes: "Isn't it too much expansion and too much investment to open three banks at once?"

In this way, all the money returned from the share split has to be invested, and the water level in the bank is low, which is prone to problems.

There is a tendency of blind expansion.

Qiu Degeng also nodded: "The big boss is right, so I propose to open a semi-colon every six months, first enter the Hong Kong Island area, and then open the New Territories, so that the transfer of funds will not be too stressful, and right now I have I contacted a manager of Hang Seng Bank, who is from the same township, and he promised us to exchange money with each other and help to collect and store in Hong Kong Island and the New Territories, but if we withdraw cash in the two districts, we need to charge one and a half points."

Tonghui means UnionPay. Sure enough, the current business concept is nothing new in the last century. The reason why people feel that the times are developing is because of the advancement of technology and productivity. The people are still those people, and the methods are still the same.

Hang Seng Bank is the largest and most reputable bank in the banking industry in Hong Kong Island. The "Hang Seng Bank" was established in 1933. The "Hang Seng Index" of Hong Kong stocks in the future is compiled by Hang Seng Bank, but the citizens of Hong Kong Island and the banking industry It is often called "Hang Seng Bank". At present, "Hang Seng" not only does banking business, but also runs old-fashioned banks in the countryside.

He Dingxian knew that the first chairman of "Hang Seng Bank" and founder Lin Bingyan was the big boss of Shanghai Thirteen Bank. Everyone is also the top dignitaries in "Province, Hong Kong and Macau".

"Hang Seng Bank" was not a purely Chinese-funded bank in the beginning. It was a small bank facing ordinary citizens. It was an overseas bank that was financed by the previous government on Hong Kong Island. During the "Civil War", he took the initiative to surrender, donated money and materials, and successfully stood in line. Looking at the depreciation of the currency in the Chinese-controlled area, he speculated wantonly during the gold boom and foreign currency boom on Hong Kong Island.

Let me tell you a funny thing. At that time, businessmen from Shanghai and Guangdong provinces preferred to speculate in gold and foreign exchange on Hong Kong Island. However, during the previous foreign exchange and gold booms, Shanghai businessmen always returned home without a feather and lost money wantonly.

It is often the Cantonese businessmen who have the last laugh and get their belly full. It seems that Cantonese people are born with an extra chance of winning in foreign exchange speculation.

He Dingxian said cautiously: "One and a half points is still fair, and cooperating with Hang Seng can be regarded as a good fortune, which will give depositors a sense of security."

"But Hang Seng is so good at speaking?"

Qiu De even laughed and said, "The Dongfang Bank is backed by three Chief Inspectors. Even if it has only been in operation for a few days, it is still well-known in Hong Kong Island."

"In addition, Chairman He of Hang Seng is leading the business transformation, shouting slogans, service first, and doing both big and small. How can we let go of such a thing that benefits others and ourselves?"

"That's right. After all, we have our own customer base, and we actually have no competitive relationship with them." He Dingxian felt relieved.

As for Chairman He, he is one of the founders of the bank that led Hang Seng to compile the "Hang Seng Index". In line of succession, Lin Bingyan's eldest son is currently only the deputy general manager of Hang Seng...

"Has Hang Seng's life been difficult recently?" He asked a lot.

Qiu Degeng lowered his voice suddenly, and said, "Hang Seng used to do exclusive business in the mainland to make money, but now that the dynasty has changed, it can no longer do exclusive business. Of course, life is more difficult than before, especially when the peninsula artillery fires, even the north-south business cannot be done."

"If they dare to do it secretly, the ghosts will be the first to do it. The mainland seems to be different from them. If Chairman Lin hadn't donated a lot of money and done a lot of good deeds, I'm afraid they would all be arrested by the north. In addition, There's a gossip in the industry."

"What news?" He Dingxian was very interested.

Qiu Degeng said: "Chairman He's younger sister is a concubine of Chairman Lin. They joined forces to eat Chairman Lin's family business, and they are planning to drive away all three of Chairman Lin's sons. They want Chairman Lin to be a financial tycoon in troubled times. On the day of the funeral, all the wreaths in Hong Kong were out of stock, and as soon as he returned home, others would step on his son's head."

"How many big bosses' family businesses have been ruined by their descendants? The old man is the old man, and the boy is the boy. They are clearly two kinds of people." He Dingxian picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and interrupted: "Okay, don't talk about it. Gossip about other people's family, you just have to take care of your own wife."

"Hang Seng Bank's difficulty is their own business, but as his competitor, they don't pay attention to you. Do you have to find a way to make it more difficult for them?"

Qiu De was stunned for a moment, and lowered his head in shame: "The big boss taught me."

……

In the evening, He Dingxian took a rickshaw to the Paramount Nightclub in Central. At the door, he ran into Ms. Chu who got off the car and was about to enter.

"Boss He, are you coming to play too?" Chu Yunnan was wearing a black windbreaker, with light makeup, bright red lips, and long hair that had been cut short and curled to the side of her ears, her demeanor suddenly changed. She no longer pretends to be a man.

It seems to completely show the beauty of a woman, be proud of it, confident, and very attractive.

He Dingxian was wearing a white suit, a hat, and a pipe in his hand. He looked at her for a while, and then said with a smile, "I came to see you, Miss Chu."

Chu Yunnan nodded, she was wearing high-heeled shoes, and the bottom of the windbreaker skirt was just three centimeters off the ground, and the sea breeze blew it slightly, as if standing in the water and making waves.

"Da da da." She stepped forward in stilettos, and stood in front of He Dingxian, with a fair face and delicate chin, she nodded slightly: "I know, come and thank me for my 50..."

"Huh..." He Dingxian took a puff of smoke, and the tip of his nose already smelled the faint scent of perfume. Seeing the aggressive look of the other party, he said very simply: "Yes."

"I came here specifically to thank you."

Chu Yunnan smiled lightly: "You're welcome, my old man asked me to save the money. He said that your bank is very powerful and capable."

"I appreciate you coming."

He Dingxian hurriedly hit the snake with a stick: "Thank you President Chu for being considerate, the younger generation will definitely come to visit some other day."

"You are really thick-skinned." Chu Yunnan said with a smile: "He asked me to save it just for fun, 50 is not my money?"

"How about I save fifty thousand for you?"

"I'm still going to pay a visit..." He Dingxian said.

Chu Yunnan smiled and said, "I really want to build a relationship."

"Boss Chu is the bread and butter of many people? Others have no chance to climb, why should I be shy?" He Dingxian said calmly: "And I don't think you can give me 50 yuan for nothing. There must be something to do. Help."

Chu Yunnan raised her slender hand, with a playful expression, and lightly brushed the shoulder of his suit: "The shipping business is really profitable, I plan to buy two more ships myself, but I will spend such a large amount of money in a short time, is it right?" Take some from the bank and give it to me?"

He Dingxian frowned, and asked instead: "The Chu family certainly does not lack money for two ships. Since it is a profitable business, Boss Chu will not support it?"

Chu Yunnan raised her hand with red nail polish, put it in front of his eyes and admired herself, "If I depend on you, what would I do to you?"

"Do you know why I took off my suit and didn't wear it? Because, no need, girls can still straighten their waists at home if they have the skills."

"Don't put on airs."

"Hehe." He Dingxian chuckled twice, took a puff of cigarette: "No problem, when I run out of money from business, I will buy a boat for you if I have enough money in the bank."

"Thank you, I will give you dividends if you make money." Chu Yunnan withdrew her hand, raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "It's a pity that the "Newspaper" didn't take a share last time, and this time the bank has no identity to take a share, so I can only wait for your fortune. "

He Dingxian shook his head, and said slowly: "Come casually, and I'm not here to make money, but to watch you put on your female make-up, how beautiful you are." He gave a big compliment and boldly looked at his legs.

"Look at it, it's free." Chu Yunnan took a big step, stepped out of high heels, and showed her slender legs, which was very generous. When she turned around and walked into the nightclub, she suddenly looked back at the rickshaw: "I heard that you bought a new one." car?"

"Why didn't I see you coming?"

He Dingxian shrugged his shoulders: "It's not easy for a car to cross the sea. It can be driven in Kowloon."

"Oh..." Chu Yunnan murmured thoughtfully as he walked into the nightclub, "Is it the same for concubines?"

"what?"

He Dingxian couldn't hear the music clearly, so he leaned forward and asked aloud. Chu Yunnan shook his head, and under the guidance of the waiter, he replied loudly, "I'm treating you tonight."

"nonsense."

He Dingxian laughed aloud and said, "With a rich woman in front of me, it can't be my turn to treat you?"

……

North Point, Baifu Road, in an elegant five-storey villa with a beautiful appearance, a villager from Shaocun wore a suit, crossed his legs, held a business newspaper in his hand, and said intently: "He Dingxian is very stubborn, and he doesn't have enough silver bullets." Open Yinzhuang!"

"There is a way to do business!"

Shao Weimei was holding an apple in his hand, sitting by the sofa, and slowly peeled it with a knife: "Dongfang Yinhao is in a hurry, and the next step is to grab the land with us."

"Dad, what should we do next?"

Shao village people laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if it's far away, so what if it's encircled? If there is no good film company to supply the film, the theaters will have to sell it at a loss. If it's close, it's not certain whether their bank can do well. The one surnamed Qiu I owe your uncle a life, tell him to come first."

Shao Weimei handed the apple in his hand to his father. After the Shaocun people took it, he took a bite: "Crack."

The people of Shaocun said again: "Besides, Hong Kong Island is not very peaceful now. In the gold shop robbery case not long ago, there were more than 300 rounds of bullets fought in the area under the jurisdiction of Tai Kwun. The Chinese police detectives failed to catch them. What a bunch of waste."

"What big things can these waste wood do?"

Shao Weimei looked pensive.

The next day, in the morning.

Qiu De often got up in the rented house earlier, and walked from Shanghai Street to the bank on Nathan Road to work. On the way, five horse boys wearing sweatshirts and holding short daggers suddenly stood up beside the road and quickly chased him away. Surrounded together, blocked to a corner.

Qiu De reacted quickly, but there was nowhere to escape. There was a chill behind him, and he said nervously: "Bosses, I'm with Inspector He. If there is any misunderstanding, can you..."

At first, a boy put away his short dagger, and said in a slightly more polite tone, "Boss Qiu, we are Shanghuqi Shengji, and we have been helping the bosses in Ningbo. You must know that, right?"

"I know."

Qiu Degeng's teeth trembled.

"Boss Shao invites you to go, won't you save face?" Ma Zai asked again.

Qiu De knew something was wrong, he nodded abruptly: "Okay."

"I go."

Ma Zai breathed a sigh of relief, pulled his shoulders and pushed him forward: "The rickshaw is ready for you."

"Can you let me take a leave with Boss He?" Qiu Degeng asked as he walked towards the rickshaw. What's wrong?"

"As long as you open your mouth, no one can force you out of Mong Kok!" A chaotic young boy with a solemn expression, several young boys have already drawn their long knives from the box at the entrance of the stall, and they are eyeing Shanghuqi's "Sheng Ji" ", "Sheng Ji" Ma Zi stared straight at Qiu Degeng.
