He took out his phone and, in front of the homeowner, called the senior manager of HSBC in Hong Kong, saying that he was currently in Shanghai and needed the assistance of the HSBC manager in Shanghai. He asked the manager to come over, told him the house number, and added that it was very close by.
The landlord was a bit dumbfounded by this whole operation. He had just said that the person had a lot of influence, and then he dragged the manager over right in front of him. Who was this guy?
Did you ask for a lower price earlier?
About twenty minutes later, a senior manager from HSBC in Shanghai arrived, exchanged pleasantries with Xing Baohua, and asked him what was wrong.
“This is the owner of this house. I want to buy it, but they are asking for payment in US dollars overseas, and they don’t have an overseas account, so I can’t transfer the money. Could you open an overseas account for them like this, and I’ll transfer the money over?”
After Xing Baohua finished speaking, the HSBC manager in Shanghai looked a bit embarrassed and said to Xing Baohua, "Mr. Xing, this is a bit difficult. He is an individual, not a company. According to current financial regulations, individuals cannot open foreign accounts. He needs to have a company that can open foreign accounts, and it also needs to be registered with the State Administration of Foreign Exchange."
"Then what other options are there?"
"Go out for a stroll and come back, and while you're at it, set up an account overseas. The quickest way to get to Hong Kong is by doing that."
Xing Baohua turned to the landlord and asked, "Do you have a passport?"
"Yes, we have it. It was done several years ago."
The rest was simple. Xing Baohua looked at the homeowner's passport, called Hua Hong, and asked him to send an invitation.
Business invitations are processed very quickly. Director Min just needs to put in a word with the immigration office and issue a certificate, and you can enter the country.
HSBC bought the round-trip airfare. We're just waiting for them to open the account, come back, sign the contract, and transfer the money.
Xing Baohua asked Director Min for help in finding a renovation company, and he will start the renovation after the other party moves out.
If you only stay there a few days a year, in ten or twenty years, this house will be worth an astronomical price.
When Xie Yingying returned home, she was surprised to see her father there as well, and her mother was even happier to see her.
Actually, I was worried that my daughter would suffer hardship and exhaustion outside.
I told my family about the work situation, and I'm adapting quite well. It's just that I'm basically running around with Xing Baohua.
"You really ran around recklessly. You need to watch what you say in the future!" Xie Yingying's father said.
"Oh, by the way, our boss wants to meet with my second uncle," Xie Yingying said.
Mother Xie frowned slightly and asked, "A collaboration?"
"You probably want to borrow money?"
"He's still short of money. Didn't someone call him the richest man in Asia?" Xie's mother asked.
Mr. Xie said, "He has invested a lot in recent years. Pengji said it was more than 3 billion US dollars, and he will invest more than 10 billion US dollars in the Shanghai market next. He has money everywhere, but he can only make money by selling rice and cars. How much money can he make?"
“Your second uncle has only been in business for a few years, and his position isn’t stable yet. We need to see if he’s asked how much he wants to borrow and what it’s for. I hope he won’t use it for this investment in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. That way, we can get your second uncle’s company to invest!” Aunt Xie asked.
Xie Yingying replied, "Before coming from Shenzhen, I had already borrowed 4.5 billion yuan from China Merchants Bank. It seems that I am still short. It is not used for investment in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, but for overseas investment. I cannot say the specifics."
“If you don’t tell me, how will your second uncle know what’s going on? The money isn’t his, so he has to report it to his superiors!” Xie’s mother said anxiously.
