Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, I, the rice class leader

Chapter 244 Chapter 244: Business is booming and wealth is booming all over the world, reaching Sanjiang
Manager's Office, Hang Seng Bank, 181 Queen's Road Central.

He Tian, ​​who had thick and short eyebrows and long and narrow eyes, looked bright and energetic and rushed in, fanning a newspaper.
"It's incredible."

"Awei, that brat, managed to hide his secrets and help Mr. Gao open a bank."

Sitting inside was He Shanheng. He was nearly fifty years old and extremely smart, but he seemed quite kind.

"Is that the kid you always told me about, who can speak foreign languages ​​and can spot counterfeit banknotes with just his fingers?"

"you do not say."

He Tian looked extremely pity: "We are a small temple, so we cannot invite this big Buddha."

He admired Li Guowei very much.

When he was in Haojiang, He Tian often dealt with Guohua Bank for business reasons, and he noticed Li Guowei, a smart young man.

From then on, he often invited Li Guo to have tea together, with the intention of inviting him to help. Who knew that this kid would cut the mess quickly and go to a new bank?
Did you make a mistake!
He Shanheng couldn't help but laugh. Normally, Tim always looked like he had lofty ambitions. His goals were either favorable or HSBC, but now he looked like this?
"Sail on the silver sea, there are winds and waves."

He Shanheng sighed: "Mr. Gao is so bold that he actually let a young man take the helm of the bank."

They, Hang Seng, still don’t dare to change their bank account number to a bank account, just for fear that if they don’t go well, they will quit.

"What a good old man you are, now you are relying on your old age and showing off your old age."

He Tian smiled and shouted: "Have you forgotten which year you opened your bank account?"

He Shanheng smiled. It was 33 years ago when he founded Hang Seng Bank with friends such as Lin Bingyan, Sheng Chunlin, and Liang Zhiwei.

Because the opening date has four "3"s, which means "sheng, sheng, sheng, sheng", it is called "Hengsheng".

For more than ten years, the silver number has come and gone, but fortunately, the eternal life is still there.

The two looked at each other. He Shanheng hesitated and said, "Ah Tian, ​​I know what you mean."

"But our bank account only makes a small profit."

He Shanheng sighed. Originally, Hang Seng's development had improved somewhat, but when it fell into trouble, he moved his bank account to Haojiang in time and made a lot of money.

But now that I have returned to Hong Kong Island, I am a new face, and my basic business has not been confirmed. How can I compare with a big water pipe like Mr. Gao?

"What I mean is to wait."

"It can only be so."

He Tian suddenly laughed: "I will definitely cross the sea to settle the score with this brat Ah Wei. If he doesn't give me a few bottles of old wine, I will go crazy."

"The reason I saw you was to drink some old wine."

He Shanheng had a smile on his lips. He looked at the newspaper again and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really incredible."

"The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and today's younger generations are really too sharp."

"The equity capital we can scrape together will cover everything we have."

It turned out that the newspaper said that Gaosheng Bank had a registered capital of 500 million and a paid-in capital of 500 million. This number alone could make many banks in Hong Kong blush.

In addition, these subscribing shareholders mentioned in the newspaper, such as HSBC, East Asia, and Bank of China... will casually deposit millions of mutual funds in Gaosheng.

Is that tens of millions?

"You can go."

He Shanheng said: "Fellows in the industry should help each other and deposit a sum of money in the name of Hang Seng."

He Tian deliberately kept a straight face: "This is a bank."

"Find a fight."

"It's better to go early. I think if you are late, they won't even ask for our money."

"He dares!"

The banking industry has a tradition of collecting, piling, and digging, and now it is a bank headed by Mr. Gao. Everyone has always admired the family's wealth and noble character, so naturally they want to pay a sum of money and deposit it into Gao Sheng's account.

This is a bit like a housewarming celebration where everyone comes to celebrate the benefits.

When He Tianxun arrived at Kosheng Bank in Tsim Sha Tsui, there were people lined up outside and full of people inside. He took a closer look and saw that they were all here to deposit money.

This is a bit much!
It should be noted that banks are most concerned about finding depositors to deposit money, and they usually have to take the initiative.

He Tian took a closer look outside and found something interesting. He found that most of the people who came to save money were junior wives.

As for those inside, they are all from the same industry.

After He Tian looked around, he asked a colleague: "Old Wang, what's going on?"

"Let's open the business and hold activities."

Lao Wang gave a thumbs up: "The boss is rich and the manager dares to do it."

"Anyone who comes to save money, regardless of size, will receive 5 jins of grain and 1 jin of oil."

"Yo."

He Tian was a bit cunning and said, "Then do we have any?"

Everyone laughed: "Yes, there must be some, Liao Baoshan has already taken it away."

Sure enough, he was right. He Tian originally wanted to chat with Li Guo, but seeing the situation now, it was better not to delay him, so he honestly reported the name of Hang Seng, deposited the money into his account, and then carried the grain with his right hand. He picked up the oil in his left hand and left like this.

"Old He, Old He, I am rich this time."

He Tianxing hurriedly rushed into He Shanheng's office carrying grain and oil: "Did you see that?"

He threw the grain and oil on He Shanheng's desk,

"Banks are bold enough to give away grain and oil when opening an account."

"I rely on."

He Tian was full of admiration: "I don't see why the leaders of Hong Kong Island want to go there to save money."

The purpose of widespread advertising is to deepen the impression of the brand in the minds of the public.

Over the years, Hong Kong banks and banks have made many troubles in order to attract the attention of depositors.

For example, the deposit interest rate set by the Bank of East Asia after its opening was higher than that of other banks.

Another example is the high-interest small deposit invented by Liao Chuangxing Bank, which really attracted many small citizens.

But these are always given after withdrawal. To be honest, most people really won’t have much impression.

There is no bank in Hong Kong like Biru Gaosheng Bank, which gives away grain and oil as soon as it opens. Under such circumstances, there is no such bank.

He Shanheng was stunned. After a moment, he smiled bitterly: "What a great handwriting and great connections."

Today, unlike in later generations, grain and oil are first-class commodities in short supply, and there is simply not enough to buy them.

Although Gaosheng Bank can open its doors to deliver grain and oil, it can make those rice merchants angry to death.

"With just this one moment, I stood firm."

He Tian said: "Awei is familiar with banking business and knows how to find and exchange money. With the strength shown by Gaosheng Bank, I am afraid that it will take up a large part of the business."

The strong get stronger, this is the eternal truth.

He Shanheng said: "There is nothing we can do about this."

"But I do hope that Gaosheng can become bigger, so that our Chinese capital can have another leader."

"Ah."

He Tian agrees with this statement: "The situation in the mainland is turbulent now. Mr. He, I think we have to make plans to focus our business on Hong Kong Island in the future."

Hang Seng Bank's current business network is actually mainly in the mainland.

It should be said that many banks in Hong Kong are mainly operating in the mainland. 49 years later, these banks' networks in the mainland have been cut off, some were forced to transform, and some were closed down.

He Shanheng nodded: "Start foreign currency exchange and gold business." They do have this advantage. When they were in Haojiang, Hang Seng had already started to engage in foreign currency exchange.

As for the gold business, He Xian is a good friend of He Shanheng. The two of them opened a bank account together before.

"No problem, anyway, Lao He, just say something and I will be a cow and a horse."

A few days later, He Tian rushed into He Shanheng's office with an uneasy look.

"Lao He, Lao He."

He Tian was filled with all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred. He fanned the newspaper in his hand.
"There really is someone in the government who is good at being an official."

"With Mr. Gao's banner, the development of Gaosheng Bank is really rapid!"

"It makes people look up to you."

The numbers on the front page of the newspaper are nothing unusual. They are nothing more than a warm celebration of Gaosheng’s bank deposit exceeding 3 million!

We must know that the Bank of East Asia, which is the leader among Chinese investors, has about 9000 million in deposits, and Bank of China has about 6 million.

In addition, larger bank accounts are only tens of millions, which is already quite incredible.

And it’s been accumulated over more than ten years!

How long has it been since Gaosheng Bank opened?

It’s like the Yellow River overflowing, out of control!
In fact, He Shanheng had already seen it. He could only repeat what he said before: "The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead."

He Tian also said: "There are quite a few people carrying sedan chairs..."

"Lao He, when do you think we can have this kind of treatment?"

The two looked at each other speechlessly, and Liao Baoshan from Liao Chuangxing Bank was also stimulated!

Since opening a bank account, Liao Baoshan, who has absorbed social funds, has been killing everyone in the gold and silver trade market!

The shrimp boys they killed were nothing but money, and the money kept pouring in like water.

As a result, I turned around and saw that Gaosheng Bank, which had been open for less than half a month, had already received more than 3000 million deposits?
I rely on!

It’s green, it’s too green!
Liao Baoshan was envious while changing her clothes. If she had so much money, the people in the gold and silver trade market would call her daddy.

"It may be a little late to come back tonight."

Liao Baoshan said to her wife: "No need to wait for me."

Today is the day of the meeting of the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce. It is said that Mr. Gao, who was elected as the director as soon as he entered, is also going back, so he must go.

The Teochew Association is located at Nos. 81 to 85 Des Voeux Road West, Sheung Wan. When Liao Baoshan arrived, many elder brothers from Teochew nationalities had already arrived.

Although he is the latest to establish his career, he is the most distinguished among this group of people. From time to time, someone will come up and give him a hand: "Brother Liao, I heard that you have been killing everyone recently. It is really gratifying and congratulatory."

"Hahaha."

Liao Baoshan was full of pride: "Those Shanghai boys want to compete with our Chaozhou brother, can he do it?"

The exchanges in Shanghai were much more developed than those on Hong Kong Island. Many Shanghai tycoons who came to Hong Kong at that time looked down on Hong Kong Island.

They think that the gold and silver exchange in such a small place is just a child's toy that can be smashed with silver.

In fact, these arrogant tycoons want to take control of the gold and silver trade market!

As a result, he was defeated and defeated by the entire Guangfu gang.

Everyone laughed: "Brother Liao is prosperous this time."

"I think it won't be long before Brother Liao can become a board director."

Although the Chamber of Commerce is a place for teamwork and mutual help, it is also a power field. The operating rules here are very simple. Whoever has money, power and reputation will naturally be promoted by everyone.

Just like Gao Yao, no one came to him at that time. Baifanyu just made a recommendation, and the Chamber of Commerce promoted him as a director without hesitation.

No one objected!

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Liao Baoshan was modest. In fact, he thought it was wrong. After all, there was only one Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong. If he became a director, he would be able to speak among the big Chaozhou brothers.

Wouldn't this be able to absorb more deposits?

Before everyone arrived, everyone was chatting in small groups, which naturally happened to Gao Yao.

"Did you read the newspaper today?"

"Of course, even if you don't eat Teochew porridge, you still have to read the newspaper."

"Gaosheng Bank is really outstanding."

"It's only been half a month since it opened, and the deposits have already exceeded 3000 million, which is really sharp."

Everyone clicked their tongues, remembering that such a green dragon appeared in the Chamber of Commerce, and everyone looked smug.

If the Chamber of Commerce wants to be united, it must have a big flag. There is no doubt that Gaoyao is this big flag.

Some people even whispered: "I think Mr. Gao is the only one who is qualified to sit as the next president."

Everyone nodded. With Mr. Gao's majesty, if he didn't sit down, who else would be qualified?

"It will be great when we can develop as well as those big brothers in Nanyang."

After the war, Nanyang was in ruins and was waiting to be revitalized. The fashionable merchants there helped each other and developed rapidly by taking advantage of the local population, market, and resources.

At that time, many tide merchants in Hong Kong Island were sent back from Nanyang to take charge of trade between the two places.

Liao Baoshan next to her was filled with envy. She only had the chance to get ahead in her middle age, but as a result, she rose through the ranks at such a young age.

People are really more popular than people.

Stomp, stomp, the noise gradually subsided, and I saw three people walking in one after another outside.

Baifanyu, Gao Yao, Yao Mu!
Everyone was horrified: "Mr. Gao!"

Even Yao Mu came to participate?In my impression, this detective rarely came to attend meetings of the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce.

If something happens, everyone will visit us.

Oh yes!

Everyone's eyes fell on Gao Yao, who looked modest and polite in the middle, it must be because of Mr. Gao.

Gao Yao clasped his fists and said loudly: "Brothers, nice to meet you."

While talking, Gao Yao and the other two people went upstairs without stopping.

The Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce has tens of thousands of people under its jurisdiction, including citizens, vendors, and wealthy people. Of course, it is impossible for everyone to attend the meeting.

The general rule is that representatives from trade associations come to participate in the meeting, but before that, the directors will meet first, mainly to communicate the central ideas. Don’t wait until the meeting is held and you don’t know anything, then stop. .

The chairman of the board of directors meeting was Ma Zemin, the elder. After the war, it was this man who witnessed the difficult times and called for the reorganization of the meeting at the request of the congregation. Feeling that the name "Chaozhou Eight Towns" was no longer appropriate, he decided to change the name to the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce and it is still used today. !

He is tantamount to the founder, and his prestige quickly grows.

In addition, among those sitting there, Gao Yao was familiar with Zhuang Jing'an, Ma Jincan and others.

Gao Yao took a look around and came to the conclusion that the younger generation of trendy businessmen are still growing, and the excitement is yet to come...

"Ah Yao, I'm sorry, is it okay to call you this?"

Seeing Gao Yao walking in, Ma Zemin, who was sitting on the chair, immediately smiled and waved his hand.

"You are now the most popular among our Chaozhou gang."

Ma Zemin pointed to the empty seat on his left.
"Sit here."
