On the top floor of HSBC, in the executive office.
Lin Huowang sat across from the desk that symbolized the pinnacle of financial power in Hong Kong, his expression unusually calm.
Not everyone is qualified to sit here. At least, more than half of the well-known Chinese tycoons in Hong Kong Island cannot even get into Sim Bi's office.
Yes!
Don't be fooled by the fact that Chinese tycoons like Fok Ying-tung, Li Ka-shing, and Pao Yue-kong can chat and laugh with HSBC tycoon Sir Michael Sandberg, discussing various financial matters.
However, apart from these few Chinese tycoons, the other so-called Chinese tycoons with various titles such as Toy King, Electric Fan King, Rubber King, etc., could not even get a meeting with Shen Bi.
As the central bank of Hong Kong Island and the deepest pool of funds in Hong Kong, these Chinese tycoons often have to curry favor with the managers of some HSBC branches and smile obsequiously in order to obtain low-interest loans.
Often, they can't offer any valuable collateral, such as their company's factories or shares. In HSBC's eyes, these are all low-value collateral, so the valuation will be very low, and then a very low discount will be applied, while the interest will be relatively high.
This... is HSBC!
In the eyes of Hong Kong businessmen, HSBC is a leech that frantically sucks blood from Hong Kong's industry and commerce.
However, for Lin Huowang, HSBC became a very "solid" and "reliable" business partner, as well as a source of funds that he trusted.
Through his previous maneuvers, Lin Huowang has already forged a deep bond between himself and HSBC.
Not to mention, he himself had shown Shen Bi the true power of sildenafil, this miraculous drug.
I came to HSBC today specifically to sign this mortgage loan agreement face-to-face with Sir Run Run Shaw. It is probably the largest loan agreement in Hong Kong's history in terms of total amount.
At this moment, a thick loan agreement was laid out on the table in front of Kobayashi Tenno, with a very eye-catching title: "Pledge and Confidential Loan Agreement for the Patent Right of 'Special Compound S'", and the amount column was filled with: HK$4 billion.
Shen Bi solemnly presented the agreement to Lin Huowang, and said with great seriousness and a hint of excitement:
"Mr. Kobayashi, this agreement carries far more than just four billion Hong Kong dollars. It carries the deepest and most hidden, most powerful desires of humanity's reproductive instincts! It is the cornerstone of the dignity and happiness of countless people!"
Just think about it, Kobayashi! When your 'Sildenafil'—oh, sorry, according to the agreement we should now call it 'Compound S'—is finally on the market, how many families will it shatter the gloom?
How many men's confidence will it restore? How many extinguished flames of passion will it rekindle?
This is not merely a business transaction; it is a magnificent gift to the vitality of life! It is no exaggeration to say that it concerns the reproduction and continuation of all humankind!
HSBC has witnessed the rise and fall of countless fortunes, but it is extremely rare for it to participate in such a... epoch-making project.
This HK$4 billion is not only a testament to HSBC's trust in Kobayashi's business acumen, but also an endorsement of the future value of this great invention!
What we value is its potential to change the world and the immeasurable global benefits it will bring!
Therefore, HSBC also hopes to be fully involved in the production, distribution, and sales of this amazing drug worldwide.
You must believe that HSBC has the strength to do so. The British Empire today is far from the former "empire on which the sun never sets".
But our global network of relationships and intelligence will be a fantastic catalyst, elevating this miracle drug to legendary status and making it known to men and women worldwide…
Lin Huowang listened quietly as Shen Bi praised sildenafil and exaggerated HSBC's power.
In his view, Shen Bi's effusive praise was nothing more than a fancy sugar coating covering his financial ambitions.
No matter how eloquently he spoke, in Lin Huowang's view, the signing of the agreement was nothing more than a normal exchange of interests.
Lin Huowang desperately needs this huge sum of HK$4 billion, while HSBC has its eye on the enormous gold mine that this miracle drug brings.
This is mutually beneficial for both sides, nothing more.
"Mr. Shen is too kind. The true value of Compound S still needs time and the market to prove itself. But it is an honor to receive such strong support from HSBC at this time. Please also be sure to strictly abide by the confidentiality clause."
"Of course! HSBC's reputation is built on the spirit of contracts. The existence of this agreement itself, as well as any details of 'Compound S,' will be classified under the highest level of secrecy."
Aside from the essential personnel present today, no one else will know the true collateral of this loan. In fact, no one outside the industry will know that HSBC has lent you such a large sum of money.
My God! You know, if the outside world found out that our Hong Kong Island's "Little Lin Whirlwind" had borrowed a massive sum of four billion Hong Kong dollars from HSBC, who knows what kind of storm it would cause..."
"That's good. Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation!"
Lin Huowang smiled and nodded slightly, then picked up the pen on the table and signed his name without saying anything more.
Shen Bi followed suit and signed his name on it.
The fact that these two top names on Hong Kong Island stand side by side symbolizes the flow of HK$4 billion and the achievement of a secret that could shake the world.
The document was then carefully taken away by Shen Bi's secretary.
