Chapter 461: Hong Kong City Trip (2)
A few days later, Lin Siqiao's business plan was completed, and Yan Weiren helped her make appointments with the heads of those banks as she requested.
Just as Lin Siqiao had expected, the heads of the first two banks were immediately delighted after looking at her real estate information and stock earnings reports for the past year.
They haven't encountered such a powerful customer for a long time.
But when Lin Siqiao said that she wanted to borrow 200 million yuan, the two responsible persons were dumbfounded, thinking, "Are you kidding me?"
If it is 2 million Hong Kong dollars, they can make the decision now, but anything above 10 million can only be approved by the shareholders' meeting.
As for 200 million, forget it.
Their temple is too small to afford to enshrine this huge Buddha.
Lin Siqiao had been mentally prepared for this result, so she only fought for it symbolically without wasting any words.
To be honest, if it weren't for the whole show, she wouldn't have bothered to come to these banks.
However, her right-hand man who came with her felt quite unhappy.
They only found out yesterday that the boss had been locking himself in the room these days to work on a project proposal. What was infuriating was that the other party rejected it without even looking at it.
Seeing the two men hanging their heads and not speaking, Lin Siqiao said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter. Aren't there two more? Let's go and have a meal first. We can fight again in the afternoon after we're full!"
After running to two stores in the morning, she was already hungry.
It was already past noon, and Lin Siqiao didn't run far. He just picked a tea restaurant nearby.
Perhaps not wanting to make Lin Siqiao sad, Li Jiachen comforted her after sitting down.
"Boss, you're right. It's not the last minute yet. Don't get discouraged!"
"If they don't want to take out a loan, it's their loss. Sooner or later they will regret it."
The interest rate is a bit high, and the interest alone will add up to a lot of money in a year.
Yan Weiren also nodded, "Boss, don't worry. HSBC is still very well-established. Their head, Mr. Adam, also graduated from Cambridge. You are alumni, so he will give you some respect."
Lin Siqiao smiled and said nothing. She had only studied in Cambridge for two years and had never even met the other party. How could she have the face to do that?
At this time, the waiter came over.
He asked lazily, "How would you like to eat?"
Lin Siqiao raised an eyebrow and looked over, "Where's the menu?"
The other party still had that deadpan attitude, "What are you saying? I don't understand a word you said. Could you please speak Hong Kong dialect? If that doesn't work, you can speak English."
After saying that, he rolled his eyes at Lin Siqiao and muttered.
"I really don't understand these mainlanders. They can't even speak Hong Kong dialect, but they are running crazy to Hong Kong without even knowing where they are. They are really annoying."
"What do you mean?" Li Jiachen and Yan Weiren stood up suddenly.
Upon hearing the two men's accents, the waiter's attitude softened noticeably.
But he was very dissatisfied in his heart. In his opinion, these two people were simply crazy. They were obviously locals, so why did they keep speaking the mainland dialect?
"Miss, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to target you..."
"You're not targeting me? So you mean you're targeting other people coming from the mainland, right?"
Lin Siqiao interrupted him first, then continued speaking in Mandarin with a smile.
"Where's your manager? Ask him to come over. I want to ask you, am I not worthy of eating here just because I'm from the mainland?"
"In that case, please put up a sign at the door stating that no one from the mainland is allowed to enter this store. This way, we can save each other's time."
The waiter's face turned pale. "Miss, it's just a small matter. It's not necessary. I just want to make a living. Don't do this to me."
Lin Siqiao snorted twice, "Oh, so you can understand Mandarin."
"I……"
"Ah Hao, are you itching for trouble again? I've told you so many times that as long as you step into our tea restaurant, you are our guest."
"Why is it that my words don't work? If that's the case, you can leave now."
An old man in Chinese clothes stood up and walked over from the cashier counter. He first asked the waiter next to him to serve Lin Siqiao and the others a few signature dishes before speaking.
"I'm sorry, I was negligent in my management. I will definitely deal with this matter seriously. This is our small token of appreciation. Please give me a chance to make amends."
"Uncle! How could you do this?" The man named Ah Hao was furious. "You're driving me away just for these mainland tourists?"
The old man stepped forward, grabbed the man's ear, and led him out the door while talking.
"You bastard, what Lubuk? Don't forget that we are of the same origin!"
"Go back and ask your father whether what I said is right or not!"
"Uncle, please be gentle. I...I don't dare anymore. Please don't tell my dad, or he will beat me to death..."
"You deserve to be beaten to death. Did I tell you not to keep your mouth shut? Don't you want to think about where your great-grandfather came from?"
"Uncle, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong."
As the two people's voices faded away, the guests in the tea restaurant gradually withdrew their eyes from watching the show.
"Boss, do you want to open a new store?" Li Jiachen asked.
"No."
Lin Siqiao did not take such trivial matters to heart. She just felt that the older generation knew where their roots were and their hearts were towards the motherland.
But why don’t young people understand such a simple truth?
When they were almost done with their meal, Lin Siqiao went to the cashier to pay, but the old man refused to take any money from her.
"I'm sorry, that child is ignorant. I have already sent him back. This meal is my apology."
Lin Siqiao shook his head, saying that paying for meals was a natural thing.
After wishing you a prosperous business, she said, "Old man, you are welcome to come back home often if you have the chance."
The old man didn't know what he was thinking about, his eyes instantly turned red, and he muttered something.
"Yes, I will come home more often if I have the chance in the future."
…
At exactly two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Siqiao and his group arrived at the HSBC office building on time. The front desk staff checked the appointment record and said.
"Ms. Lin, please sit here and wait for a moment. Our manager is receiving an important guest. It should be almost done in 10 minutes."
"Okay, thank you."
Lin Siqiao found a seat against the wall and began to rest with her eyes closed. Soon, she heard the elevator door beep and open, followed by the sound of several dense footsteps.
"Aili, has Miss Lin, who we had an appointment with today, come over?"
Ellie nodded and pointed to Lin Siqiao in the rest area.
"Assistant Xu, she's already here, that's her."
"?"
Xu Weijie was stunned and thought he had seen it wrong.
Fang Jiahao next to her also looked dumbfounded. Didn’t she take an extra year of study in Cambridge? Why did she suddenly come to Hong Kong City?
Lin Siqiao was also a little surprised. A year ago, the two of them ended their study abroad in Cambridge, and she thought they would have no more interactions in this life.
I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that I would meet you here.
At this time, Xu Weijie suddenly reacted, "Are you the chairman of Huaxing Holdings Group, Lin?"
Lin Siqiao nodded, "Yes, it's me."
"What chairman of Huaxing Holding Group?" Fang Jiahao was confused.
Xu Weijie took a deep breath and whispered, "Jiahao, go back first. I'll talk to you another day."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of inviting you to come.
"Please come this way. Our manager has been waiting for you for a long time."
