After returning to Hong Kong, HSBC President Sanders immediately contacted Victor, who is now also a celebrity in Hong Kong. Sanders had known him at an upper-class cocktail party before, but their relationship was only average.

This time HSBC was acquired by Wells Fargo Bank, and the chairman, Mr. Hardy, appointed Victor as the chairman's assistant. Now Victor is considered to be the person with power second only to him in HSBC. Moreover, he has the chairman's support and is a close minister to the emperor. It can be said that he has more power than him.

Victor had already received the telegram from Hardy by then. When he learned that he had become the assistant to the chairman of Huifeng, his face was full of smiles.

HSBC is a bank issuing bank in Hong Kong and has great power. With this identity, my status in Hong Kong will become higher in the future.

After receiving a call from HSBC President Sanders, Victor brought Sandy Weir, president of Wells Fargo Hong Kong branch, to Sanders' estate in Hong Kong.

I was supposed to go to HSBC.

But there is no other way.

Now HSBC is still closed, with a large crowd gathered at the door. They can only meet at Sanders' estate.

Sanders was not arrogant. He brought the Huifeng management team to greet them at the gate of the villa. When Victor and Sandy Will got out of the car, he smiled and walked over to shake hands. Victor said:

"President Sanders, I am very happy to join HSBC and to work with you all. This is Sandy Weir, President of Wells Fargo Hong Kong Branch and also a director assigned by Wells Fargo to HSBC. In the future, we will work together for the development of the bank."

Everyone shook hands with Sandy Weir and got to know him.

After the greetings, they walked into the living room together. After sitting down, Sanders said, "I went to meet Chairman Hardy. The chairman said that Wells Fargo and Manhattan Bank would lend HSBC $40 million to help it get through this difficult time. He said Mr. Victor would help deal with the squeeze."

Victor nodded.

"I have received a telegram from my boss, who has detailed instructions on how to handle this incident. I will take over the matter from now on."

"Sandy Weir will handle the $20 million loan from Wells Fargo. The money from Manhattan Bank may arrive a few days later, but it doesn't matter. Regarding the bank, please ask President Sanders to arrange normal operations. Anyone who comes to withdraw money will be paid in full as long as the receipt is genuine."

"I will have the newspaper publish the latest news to tell the public that HSBC has been acquired by the two most powerful banks in the United States. Not to mention tens of millions, hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars are no problem. With such a huge financial backing, HSBC's reputation can be fully protected."

Victor is a professional at deceiving people.

Hundreds of millions or billions sound like nothing.

Sanders finally felt relieved after hearing this.

Everyone chatted about some details and then went about their own business. This matter could no longer be delayed and the sooner it was resolved the better.

That night,

Hong Kong's local evening newspaper published a news report that HSBC had been acquired by the very powerful Manhattan Bank and Wells Fargo Bank in the United States, and the original major shareholder, the Sassoon family, had sold all of its shares.

Manhattan Bank has assets of over three billion.

Wells Fargo has assets of more than $2 billion.

Both are much larger than HSBC. Now that the two banks have stepped in, they can fully secure the funds. Perhaps this squeeze will soon be resolved.

When people saw the newspaper, they were skeptical, thinking that it would be great if this was really true, as the little money they had worked so hard to save would finally have a place to go.

The next day.

Morning.

The Global Times published an official announcement from HSBC. Only after reading the announcement did people believe that the news in last night's evening post was true.

The announcement said.

HSBC has changed its major shareholder, with Wells Fargo Bank holding a 34% stake. Mr. Jon Hardy, Chairman of the Hardy Group, has become the new Chairman of HSBC.

Manhattan Bank, a Rockefeller Group in the United States, acquired 20% of the shares and became the second largest shareholder of HSBC.

Wells Fargo and Manhattan Bank both belong to the US super-financial group and are global banking companies with strong financial resources and excellent reputation.

HSBC Bank officially resumed operations at 10am today and will then handle all normal business, including large deposits and withdrawals, exchange of acceptance bills, and ensure that any normal transactions are completed.

At the same time, HSBC Bank also promises to all owners that the new HSBC Bank will be based on integrity and ensure the safety of every customer's property.

After seeing the report in the Global Times, many people began to believe it.

HSBC Bank entrance,

Today, a large number of people gathered again, probably no less than three to five thousand people. However, in the past, people would excitedly shout slogans and demand the return of their money, but today they were just blocking the door waiting for HSBC Bank to open. The newspaper said that redemption would start today, so many people came early to withdraw their money.

There are a lot of people.

There was inevitable pushing and shoving, and the whole scene was in chaos.

The police and bank staff were maintaining order and hoped that people would line up, but no one listened. People all wanted to get to the front of the line and get the money as soon as possible.

In this situation, the police are useless.

Victor stood at a distance and watched the scene at the bank entrance. He felt that this was not going to work, so he said to Li Chunshan who was standing next to him, "Chairman Li, is there any way to get these people to line up?"

Li Chunshan looked at the crowd below, waved to a few people and gave them some instructions.

Three young men staggered over, looked at the crowded crowd, and began to squeeze in. It didn’t take long for them to squeeze in as they were young and strong.

"Make way, make way, get away from me." The young man pushed a woman away unreasonably. The thin and skinny woman dared not to resist, and quickly dodged out of fear.

A bank employee accused the three people.

"Hey, what are you doing? Go back and line up," said the bank clerk.

Several young men grinned and said disdainfully, "I'm queuing up. I'm a customer who wants to withdraw money, but you let us stand here in the sun. How can this be justified? Hurry up and open the door. I want to withdraw money. Are you guys trying to fool me by making fun of us?"

"Yes, yes, yes, open the door quickly and deposit your money. What are you waiting for? Who said the door will not open until 10 o'clock?" another young man also shouted.

"Does Huifeng have no money? Look everyone, Huifeng has no money and is playing tricks again." The third one started to incite the crowd and wanted to cause trouble.

Someone in the crowd looked at the youngsters with unfriendly eyes, and after they exchanged glances, a group of people stood up and walked up to the three youngsters.

“Bang~!”

A fist hit the young man who was trying to seize the position hard in the eye socket, blocking his eye. Then the others surrounded the three young men and started punching and kicking them.

"Fuck you~, I'm standing in line obediently, and you dare to cut in line, I want to see how many heads you have."

Bang bang bang~!

A punch.

"How come I haven't seen you before when you're out here? You look so fucking impressive."

Bang bang bang~!

A fierce kick.

The three young men were beaten so hard that they screamed and howled.

But no one cares.

The police were just watching the excitement.

When the group of strong men got tired of beating them, they finally stopped. The three young men's faces were now covered in blood. They were forced to kneel on the ground and were not allowed to get up without orders.

Finally,

The crowd quieted down.

Start queuing up honestly.

The door finally opened at 10 o'clock.

People walked into the hall and four cash withdrawal windows were opened. Those who came to withdraw money saw piles of banknotes behind the iron railings. Most people had never seen so much money in their lives, and many people couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

This tells you that there is plenty of money, and this is the confidence.

Many people thought.

If there is a pile, it will be mine.

No, a bundle.

No, a stack.

Even if only a pile of money belongs to me, I can still spend the first half of the year comfortably.

The sales clerks are busy all the time when it comes to withdrawing and paying money. If a customer encounters a large deposit of thousands or tens of thousands of yuan, the sales manager will lead the customer to the VIP room for reception.

Things are going smoothly.

Good order.

We were busy until 7pm before closing, which was an extremely long opening time. We handled more than 2,000 transactions that day.

Continue the next day.

As loans continued to be extended, many people realized that HSBC was not short of money, and gradually stopped wanting to withdraw money, so fewer and fewer people came to withdraw money.

Many Hong Kong newspapers,

global times.

Even British newspapers,

The situation of HSBC's guarantee redemption was reported by many newspapers. Many newspapers wrote articles praising HSBC's new board of directors for being responsible and taking responsibility, and believed that HSBC would be better in the future.

People are most easily influenced by public opinion.

Gradually, people's impression of Huifeng has improved. It was the previous boss who was irresponsible, but the current boss is very responsible and trustworthy.

......

Li Chunshan's house has a Chinese style.

Green bricks, blue tiles and white walls.

This is rare in Hong Kong.

Li Chunshan specially asked someone to build this villa in the Huizhou style. His hometown is in Huizhou, and he likes this kind of house.

In the living room.

Li Chunshan was drinking tea with Victor. After they chatted for a few words, Li Chunshan asked someone to bring a large suitcase.

"Mr. Victor, here is the balance, a total of 1.2536 million US dollars, not a penny less. As for my share, I have already withheld it. I am greedy." Li Chunshan said.

Victor asked the bodyguard to take the box.

He smiled and said, "This is business, it's what I should do. I like to do things clearly like this. We had a pleasant cooperation this time."

The people who caused trouble in the early stage were naturally members of the Triads.

These people are more qualified and professional than anyone else to do this.

Victor found Li Chunshan and took out more than 2,000 deposit certificates, indicating that if his people exchanged the money, they could get one-tenth of it.

Victor only used their people and it was impossible for him to give them large-denomination certificates of deposit and bills of exchange, so these more than 2,000 certificates of deposit were all small-denomination certificates. Even so, the total amount reached more than 1.3 million US dollars.

One tenth.

That's hundreds of thousands of dollars.

How could Li Chunshan not agree?

The subsequent gatherings, riots, smashing, and sieges in Huifeng were all instigated by the Triads. There were thousands of Triad gang members, and not only that, they also had families. They were paid one Hong Kong dollar a day, which was equivalent to less than 20 cents a day.

But this job is already very popular. In Hong Kong, a job that pays 30 yuan a month is considered a high salary. There are many unemployed people, and this job is available to men, women, young and old.

After these people get the money, they must hand it over intact, and after handing it over, they will also receive a bonus of about 10 Hong Kong dollars.

That's it.

They redeemed all these small-denomination certificates of deposit in the same way as ants moving house.

As for those large-value certificates of deposit and bills, Sandy Weir of Wells Fargo said that they can be transferred within the bank, the certificates of deposit can be handed over to HSBC, and the money can be transferred to the Wells Fargo account. As for the depositor information, it can be fully operated.

There's nothing crazier than money laundering between banks.

Blatant and brazen.

The amount is huge.

You can't find it yet.

Money laundering by the mafia is actually child's play.

However, this kind of money laundering between banks is out of reach for ordinary people unless you control several banks.

"Mr. Victor, if there is such work next time, you are welcome to give me an order." Li Chunshan said.

"Of course, we have more than just business dealings. We also have a relationship with Miss Han. We are even closer. If there is money to be made, I will definitely think of your triad. Well, I'll take my leave now."

Victor excuses himself and leaves.

To be honest, Li Chunshan felt very distressed when he saw Victor taking the money away. This was what it meant to be making money, while he could only get a small portion.

But they earned hundreds of thousands of dollars in just a few days, which was much better than other gangs, and Li Chunshan became proud again.

......

British domestic newspapers also reported on events in Hong Kong.

The bank squeeze riot at HSBC Hong Kong has subsided. The major shareholder has been replaced, and Wells Fargo and Manhattan Bank have provided large amounts of cash to settle the situation, allowing the situation to calm down. Normal operations have now resumed.

David saw the newspaper.

Knowing that the HSBC Bank issue has been resolved, I thought that Hardy is equally good at creating and solving problems.

He planned to talk to Hardy.
