Chapter 7 A Favor Worth a Thousand Gold



In an office in the Securities Department of Hang Seng Bank.

Mo Zhexuan and Li Guowei sat face to face on the sofa.

While drinking tea, we chatted about all sorts of things.

The two seemed to have no feelings of strangeness when they met for the first time, and they were as familiar as old friends who had known each other for many years.

But they were observing each other carefully and testing each other.

"Xiao Mo! I heard from Liu Zhi that your store is in trouble and you're planning to give up the braised food business. That's such a shame. Do you need my help?"

"Uncle Li! I appreciate your kindness, but I believe I can handle it. If I really can't solve it, it's not too late to ask you for help."

Mo Zhexuan is not a newbie who has just entered the business world.

He knew Li Guowei's thoughts very well.

Once you accept someone's helping hand, you will inevitably owe them a favor.

It is said that the debt of favor is the hardest to repay, especially the favor from the big boss.

Besides, he had already decided to give up the Zhenluwei shop.

I plan to make some money in the stock market and then expand the braised food business.

"Xiao Mo! I'm going to stop being polite with you. I hope you can tell me the truth. What is the basis for your short position in the Jianing Group? Do you have any evidence that is unfavorable to the Jianing Group?"

Li Guowei cursed the little fox in his heart.

Although I know that if I speak up, I will lose the initiative.

There is even a possibility that you will be ripped off by the other party.

But I still couldn't suppress my curiosity.

If something unexpected really happens to the Jianing Group.

Then Hang Seng Bank, as the lender, will definitely be in big trouble.

Because Hang Seng Bank recently lent a total of HK$1 billion to the Carrian Group.

Moreover, he personally approved it, so he was not afraid of the worst.

If anything really happens, he will be the first person responsible.

Mo Zhexuan didn't speak immediately.

Instead, he calmly picked up the teacup on the coffee table and started to sip the tea.

But he was very happy in his heart, as he was now in a safe position.

"One million Hong Kong dollars! As long as you can really produce fatal evidence against the Jianing Group."

Li Guowei also knew that the opponent was the kind of person who would not release the eagle until he saw the rabbit, so he immediately made an offer.

"Uncle Li! The information I have is not simple information. It concerns the survival of the Jianing Group."

Mo Zhexuan's expression was very calm, and he continued to drink his tea after he finished speaking.

But the subconscious meaning also shows that 1 million Hong Kong dollars is nothing compared to the information of the bankruptcy of the Carrian Group.

"What?"

Li Guowei stood up suddenly, his face turning pale.

A pair of eyes stared at Mo Zhexuan motionlessly like a ghost.

I really want to know from the other person's expression whether he is serious or just bluffing.

But he didn't dare to gamble. Compared with the news of Jianing Group's bankruptcy, losing some money was really a small matter, so he gritted his teeth and said:

"One price, ten million Hong Kong dollars, as long as you can provide information about the survival of the Jianing Group."

“Pah pah pah!!!”

Mo Zhexuan stood up, clapped his hands, and praised with a smile:

"Uncle Li! How generous! But I don't want a penny. I just want a favor from you, Uncle Li."

Li Guowei was stunned for a moment, then looked at Mo Zhexuan deeply, his eyes full of admiration, and said cheerfully:

"This favor is worth a thousand gold!"

Mo Zhexuan understood deeply that even if he got 10 million Hong Kong dollars today.

It will also cause enmity with the other party, so it is better to do them a favor and gain their favor.

However, doing favors also requires methods and strategies, if you tell the other party from the beginning.

The other party will not take it seriously, and the favor will be worthless.

Only by guiding others step by step can you highlight the value of the information and make the other party appreciate it.

"It is well known that Chen Songqing has overseas connections, but this is just a self-directed and self-acted story. His real connections come from his 'personal relationship' with the head of Malaysia's Yu Min Finance, and all overseas loans are also channeled through him."

"But now, as far as I know, U-Ming Finance's chairman, Osman, has decided to withdraw the loan to the Carrian Group due to the uncertain future of Hong Kong."

"If Hong Kong's economy continues to soar and the real estate market continues to thrive, then it wouldn't be a big deal for Yu-Min Financial to withdraw its investment. But I'm sure you're aware of Hong Kong's current situation."

"And I also know, you can check, that last year, when Carrian announced that the Baishunning Group was purchasing the entire stake in the Golden Gate Building for HK$1.68 billion, it was actually a self-directed scheme by Chen Songqing to drive up Carrian's share price and get more money from you bankers."

“.............................”

Mo Zhexuan took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

Then he solemnly told everything he knew about Jianing.

With every comment, Li Guowei's face became uglier.

By the end, his face was livid. Unable to endure any more, he slammed the teacup forward and cursed:

"Chen Songqing, you old liar, damn your ancestors."

Although the news has not been confirmed, he has completely believed in his heart that it is true.

Because Mo Zhexuan had no reason to deceive himself.

Li Guowei now knew that things had reached a point where they could not be delayed any further.

If we really wait until the Jianing Group collapses, it will be too late.

So after exchanging a few pleasantries with Mo Zhexuan, he hurried back to the Hang Seng Bank headquarters to report.

At this time, Wang Pengfei came over with the man he had just met. The man who had just disdained to care about him immediately apologized sincerely after seeing Mo Zhexuan:

"Mr. Mo! I'm Li Gang, the manager of the securities department at Hang Seng Bank. I just had a misunderstanding with you, but I hope you don't take it to heart. Before Mr. Li left, he told me to increase your leverage to 20x. At the same time, the handling fee and transaction fee will be 1%. We will also find a brokerage firm to lend you shares of the Carignan Group as soon as possible. What do you think?"

"No problem! I'll do as you say. Thank Mr. Li for me!"

Mo Zhexuan didn't expect Li Guowei to be such a good person, but he didn't refuse, so he immediately nodded and agreed.

Originally, he decided to invest HK$1 million to short Carrian, but now Li Guowei helped him increase the leverage to 20 times.

Faced with such a godsend opportunity, how could he miss it? So he immediately changed his mind and added another HK$1 million.

Then he watched carefully in the hall how the brokers and staff operated the stocks.

There was a group of brokers wearing red clothes, who were responsible for placing orders and recording, etc.

Another group of exchange staff in black clothes quickly wiped the blackboard and wrote quotes.

Such a lively scene is really unheard of compared with later generations, and it is amazing.

Hong Kong only began to use computers in 1986, and only then did stock trading enter the electronic age, becoming more efficient, real-time and secure.
