A business involving tens of millions of dollars is a big business at any time. Such a big business cannot be too anxious, so HSBC is not too anxious.

But within two days,

Whether it is Hong Kong, the United Kingdom or the United States, there are a lot of news about the crisis in Hong Kong, which makes many people who invest in Hong Kong panic.

Hongkong.

Global Times.

The latest battle situation in China, where is Hong Kong going!!!

From the second half of last year to the beginning of this year, the two sides of China launched a large-scale war, using a total of more than 3 million troops. Several wars have ended in the failure of Chang, and Chang's rule is already in jeopardy.

It is almost impossible to obtain external aid. Last year, Chang bribed President Johnson's opponent, Dewey. President Johnson hated Chang very much. Just this year, he released a white paper, admitting that the investment in Chang failed, and called it extremely corrupt. Molecules, will inevitably fall, and will not give any assistance.

After Chang's failure, once the north hits Hong Kong, will it take back Hong Kong? This possibility is very high. You must know that the north implements public ownership and property confiscation. What will Hong Kong do?

to be frank,

Anyone who reads these remarks is afraid of everyone.

experienced the Japanese.

There was another civil war.

Many people understand the horror of war.

The contents of the newspaper immediately aroused a lot of discussion among Hong Kong citizens, and even caused a certain degree of panic. Many families who were already frightened were planning to leave Hong Kong to avoid the disaster.

Even those foreign firms, as the war approached, became more worried and fearful, and began to plan how to deal with their business. There were many people who sold their properties, but now this situation is increasing.

The British Global Times also published a similar article, mainly discussing whether Hong Kong will be lost if the North wins, and whether this oriental pearl can be kept.

The Global Times also deliberately found several commentators.

The two sides launched a comment in the newspaper,

One side said that the North did not dare to move, and the other said that Hong Kong would inevitably be lost. Both sides put forward their arguments, and the discussion was in full swing.

At the beginning, they were evenly matched, but gradually, the argument that the north would take back Hong Kong gradually gained the upper hand, which made many British people who had invested in Hong Kong nervous, and sent telegrams to Hong Kong one after another, asking the agents there to deal with the property as soon as possible, The funds are brought back to the UK.

in the United States,

Articles about Hong Kong also appeared in certain newspapers.

The tone is basically bad-mouthing.

In fact, the United States is not the focus, the main purpose is to make this news real.

Public opinion affects people's hearts.

Many people saw these remarks, and their judgment was influenced unconsciously. There was indeed a wave of panic in Hong Kong in the later period of history, but it was later than now. burn.

Boom~!

When emotions explode,

Hong Kong saw a wave of flight and panic selling of assets.

Hardy said,

I am careless.

It's just that this kind of thing will come sooner or later, so I can't blame me.

Among the many companies, HSBC was naturally also greatly affected. They were originally investment banks. The company ran away, no one invested, and the price of the mortgaged land was reduced. All aspects were not optimistic, which caused HSBC's assets to shrink rapidly.

HSBC shareholders have had a heavy heart these days and feel the clock is running out.

Because once the north crosses the Yangtze River, it will be the beginning of a big rout. At that time, I am afraid that they will not be able to sell it.

Darville Sassoon contacted David Rockefeller and wanted to talk to the other party again. David replied to ask the other party to wait a moment. He was negotiating with other companies and had no time for the time being.

The more anxious the other party is, the more he must sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

 …

Hongkong.

Victor received a secret order from his boss. After reading the order, he became a little excited. If this thing is done, he can definitely make a lot of money.

Sell ​​Nicilin.

Victor met Mr. Kong from the south and Mr. Xu from the north. This time, Mr. Xu came to trade again. Victor smiled and said:

Mr. Xu, do you have an acceptance draft from HSBC Bank? Other foreign banks are also acceptable. If you are willing to pay, I can accept it.

Mr. Xu was taken aback.

What do you mean, Mr. Victor?

Hehe, you have occupied the north and blocked so many banks. I believe you must have many acceptances from other banks. These acceptances are worthless in your hands. You might as well sell them to us. You can exchange them for medicines. It can be exchanged with materials, or even with weapons. Victor said.

Mr. Xu was not surprised that Victor revealed his identity. After all, he has traded so many times, as long as the other party is not stupid, he can definitely guess his identity.

It's just that he didn't expect Victor to propose such a deal.

Mr. Victor, I can't decide this matter. I need to contact you. Also, what price are you going to buy? Mr. Xu asked.

The face value is one hundred to one, no legal currency, US dollars, British pounds, Hong Kong dollars, etc., stable national banks will do. Victor said.

One hundred to one, isn't that too low? Mr. Xu frowned after hearing this.

Those things are just a piece of waste paper in your hands. They are worthless. I bought them and exchanged them. Other banks will not admit it. This will be a bad lawsuit. I will spend a lot of energy. It may not be successful. Victor said.

Mr. Xu thought for a while, I can't answer you now, I have to go back and ask. Also, is it true that you can exchange those things?

Victor smiled,

It is impossible for Mr. Xu not to know about the transaction between me and the Triad Society. I think most of those things are in your hands. The transaction with you is nothing more than exchanging money orders for materials directly. Maybe you still need to go through the Triad Society's route. road.

Mr. Xu nodded, put on his hat and left.

After only half a day, Mr. Xu came to the door again.

Mr. Victor, we agree to this deal, but the price is too low. Our boss offered a price of fifty to one, otherwise there would be no need for a deal.

Victor shook his head.

Eighty to one at most, otherwise this business will be meaningless, and this deal will be over.

In fact, the organization had already agreed to a price of 100:1, but told Mr. Xu that it was possible to raise the price a little, so he raised the price.

Victor gave eighty to one, and Mr. Xu had accepted it in his heart.

Okay, eighty to one.

Victor smiled. In fact, the price Hardy set for him was 10:1 to do the business. He abruptly mentioned 80:1, which has greatly exceeded the boss's expectations.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

That night, a car was parked downstairs. Mr. Xu walked into Hardy's Auction Company with a box, and walked to the second floor with ease.

Put the suitcase on the table.

Mr. Hardy, I have brought the banker's acceptance bill. There are all kinds of funds, such as US dollars, British pounds, Hong Kong dollars, francs, Japanese yen, rupees, and reals. Calculated in terms of US dollar value, the total value is 61.25 million US dollars.

Before you said, try to find some HSBC bank slips. We asked people to find HSBC bank slips. There are not only HSBC bank acceptance drafts, but also many savings book savings slips. There are about 5,000 copies, a total of 2666 Ten thousand U.S. dollars.

If the exchange ratio we said before is eighty to one, you should pay me seven hundred and sixty-five thousand six hundred and twenty-five dollars.

No problem, after I have someone inspect it, as long as it is true, it can be traded. Victor asked someone to take the item down for inspection.

The two sat together drinking tea and chatting.

With more than 700,000 yuan, what does Mr. Xu want? Victor asked.

Mr. Xu pondered for a while, and said: To be honest, Mr. Victor, you asked me what I lack, and I want to say that we lack too many things.

Drugs, medical equipment, weapons, ammunition, aircraft, warships, cotton, food, cloth, machine tools....

Victor spread his hands.

Mr. Xu, you can't buy so many things with more than seven hundred thousand dollars.

Mr. Xu sighed, Hey, so I can only buy some of the most scarce items. I have a catalog here. I hope Mr. Victor can help me prepare it.

As he spoke, he took out a few pieces of paper from his body and handed them to Victor.

Victor thought to himself, these people think things really carefully, they even think about the things they want to buy, they wouldn't even calculate the price.

open Directory.

The number of dozens of types of medicines, the number of types of medical equipment, weapons do not need conventional weapons, they want anti-aircraft guns, equipped with sufficient ammunition, powerful artillery and shells.

In addition, they also wanted fighter jets, even without fighter jet engines, because they also seized some planes, but many of the engines were broken, and other parts of the planes could be repaired, but they really didn't have the technology for the engines.

As long as there is an engine, they can have an extra fighter.

There are also some weapons and equipment and so on.

After reading the list, Victor looked at Mr. Xu and said, Mr. Xu, there are many things on your list that are hard to get. I don't know if I can get them. And there is another problem. The things you want, The price is far more than 700,000, and you don’t have enough money here.”

Mr. Xu looked at Victor and said seriously:

I know that there is not enough money, so I want to talk to Mr. Victor, can you give us credit first, we owe the money, don't you want the bank to exchange checks, this time because of the rush, we only found some.

We know what you guys are thinking, Mr. Victor. You just want to use the money to go to those banks to withdraw cash. We can still find bank acceptances, savings books, savings slips, etc., and we can use these to repay in the future.

Victor pondered for a moment.

I also need to ask for instructions on this matter. How about this, let's complete the transaction today, and prepare medicines and medical equipment for you first. As for the transactions of those powerful weapons, I need to ask the boss.

After checking the bank acceptance bill and savings slip, there was no problem, and the two parties shook hands to conclude the deal.

Victor sent a telegram to Hardy, telling Hardy that he had received more than 26 million HSBC bills, and Hardy thought it was quite a lot.

Let's start acting according to the plan. Hardy said.

the next day.

The wind is clear and bright.

An American came to HSBC with a large bank acceptance draft of 4.5 million US dollars, handed the acceptance draft to the salesperson and asked for cash withdrawal.

The salesperson was shocked by the number on the check and immediately reported it to the manager.

The manager came to check the acceptance draft. This acceptance draft was not a fake. It was issued by the Beiping branch. But at this time, Beiping had already been captured and the Beiping branch of HSBC Bank was seized. In order to protect its own interests, HSBC turned all these accounts into bad debts. .

It is precisely because of this that the accounts of HSBC Hong Kong look so good.

To put it bluntly, HSBC is ready to renege on its debts.

I'm sorry sir, your acceptance bill, due to the loss of the war account, we have no way to cash it for you for the time being. We can only cash it after the war is over, find the account and check the authenticity of this draft. The manager used Said in a formulaic tone.

The Americans were very angry and shouted at the manager in the bank lobby: Look clearly, this is an acceptance draft issued by your bank. You promised that as long as you hold the acceptance draft, you can cash it at any of your branches. Now you are telling me that the account is lost. The ____ does not work.

The loss of the account is your problem. I don't care about it. I ask you to pay it immediately. It must be done immediately.

The manager spread his hands indifferently.

I'm sorry, sir, I can't help you now. I can't pay you this money until I find the account.

Then if you can't find the bottom account, then the money should be considered as non-existent?

I can only say that the payment can only be made after the bottom account is found. The manager used the method of prevarication.

Americans are angry.

That afternoon.

The Americans found reporters from several newspapers and exposed the matter to them. The next day, many newspapers in Hong Kong reported the matter, especially the Global Times, which reported the matter in detail and made comments. .

If a bank loses its reputation, what is left for him? HSBC refuses to pay the acceptance bill, which is a breach of trust in itself. This practice is disgusting, and it will also make many depositors worry about whether they can get their money back.

The news caused quite a reaction in Hong Kong.

HSBC can be said to be the largest bank in Hong Kong. Now even he has lost his trust. People worry that their money in the bank will also go wrong.

Early the next morning.

A large number of people gathered at the gate of HSBC Bank. They flocked to the bank lobby and demanded to withdraw their money.

If you are interested, you will find that the people who come to withdraw money are all triad gang members.

These people demanded to withdraw money holding savings slips.

The bank staff found that the savings books these people had were all from the mainland branch, and all of these had been listed as bad debts, so the manager would naturally not withdraw them.

When the crowd heard that they would not give money, they immediately exploded.

Everyone was full of righteous indignation and made a noise in the bank. The lobby of HSBC Bank was blocked, and people were so noisy that it was impossible to work normally.

At this time, a reporter came over and took pictures of the angry crowd. The headlines in the next day's newspaper were even more explosive.

HSBC has lost its trust, the head office has run out, people can't get money from the bank, and HSBC is suspected of running out of funds.

Recently, the war in the north has been tense, and many foreign firms on Hong Kong Island have withdrawn. HSBC is a British capital. Will it transfer people's deposits early in order to avoid it, and now there is only an empty shell left. This deserves our vigilance.

As soon as this report comes out.

Not only the actors arranged by Victor, but also the real depositors of HSBC couldn't sit still, and ran to the bank to withdraw money.

Only when you get cash can you feel at ease.

But the lobby of the bank has already been crowded with people from the triads, ordinary people can’t get in at all, and those who can’t get money are really scared now, afraid that their money really can’t be withdrawn, so they spread the word like this Hundreds, more and more people gathered outside the gate of HSBC Bank, probably no less than ten thousand people.

HSBC executives hurriedly reported to the board of directors.

When the members of the board of directors heard it, their heads suddenly became dizzy. If there was a liquidation incident, even HSBC would not be able to bear it. Most of the bank's money would be released. Otherwise, how would the bank make money.

Besides,

For security reasons, the bank did transfer some of the funds, and now the treasury is only a few million Hong Kong dollars and hundreds of thousands of dollars and pounds at best.

As long as the opening is opened, the money in the bank will be withdrawn instantly. When there is really no money to deal with, the consequences will be much more serious than now.

When David saw the report on HSBC in the British newspaper, he looked at Hardy in surprise, Hadi, did you do this?

David, I think we can talk to HSBC now. Hardy said with a smile.
