Siheyuan: The Idiot in Charge

Chapter 126 Opening an Account

HSBC Bank headquarters.

It is located on Queen's Road in Central, less than two kilometers from Lockhart Road where Lou Zhenhua lives.

It covers a very large area. The main building has thirteen floors and is about 70 meters high.

There are many ancillary buildings around, which are quite grand and spectacular compared with the surrounding three-story buildings.

"Xingyue, who is he?" The bank hadn't opened yet, and several colleagues were standing outside waiting. A young female colleague approached Shi Xingyue and asked quietly in her ear. It seemed that the two had a good relationship.

"He is my brother" Shi Xingyue replied with a smile.

"Xingyue, isn't this the rich young man you brought over?" The colleague looked at Jia Weidong in a suit with a suspicious expression on his face.

"Wen Ting, it's really not true!" Shi Xingyue answered clearly.

"Ah, Xingyue, what's the point of bringing your brother here? If you can't get 10,000+ deposits, Chief Charlie will definitely punish you," the female colleague named Wen Ting said softly.

"It doesn't matter. I can go back to the lobby counter to keep you company," Shi Xingyue said calmly.

"But the salary is much less. That person is really nothing. Just because he has a little money, he just wants to take advantage."

"Who left us without a backstage?" Shi Xingyue said helplessly.

"Xingyue, isn't your man at the police station? Let him teach that man a lesson."

"No, he is just a clerk at the police station. Besides, how can we explain this kind of thing clearly..."

……

Jia Weidong's ear was so good. He listened to the conversation between the two of them word for word, and he also had some guesses in his mind: "I see. No wonder Shi Xingyue is in a bad mood. No one would encounter such a thing." will be happy”

"Then help her. Anyway, I have to open an account and save some money. It doesn't matter which bank I use. I feel more at ease." Jia Weidong thought for a moment and made his decision.

At 08:30, the bank opens.

Jia Weidong calmly followed Shi Xingyue and walked into the lobby of HSBC Bank.

"Wen Ting, my brother wants to exchange some Hong Kong dollars. Please help him do it." Shi Xingyue took Jia Weidong to the counter in the lobby and said to the female colleague named Wen Ting.

Jia Weidong stopped Shi Xingyue who turned around and walked towards the main room: "Sister-in-law, wait a moment, I will open an account with you."

"Weidong, sister-in-law's area is a VIP customer area. It's not easy to go there casually. Just ask Wen Ting to help you in the lobby," Shi Xingyue said gently.

"Sister-in-law, I am a big boss. If you don't let me go, be careful and I will complain to your senior classmate." Jia Weidong said with a bad smile.

"Here, Wei Dong, don't tease your sister-in-law." Shi Xingyue hesitated.

"Sister-in-law, I'm not teasing you, let's go, you're going to be late." Jia Weidong took Shi Xingyue's arm and walked towards the VIP customer area.

HSBC key customer area.

"Sister-in-law, help me open a US dollar account and a Hong Kong dollar account." Jia Weidong slowly took out the hundred dollar bills from his backpack and placed them in front of Shi Xingyue.

"Ah, so many!" When Shi Xingyue saw the pile of hundred-dollar bills that Jia Weidong took out, Shi Xingyue was shocked, whispered, and then quickly covered her mouth.

Then she asked cautiously: "Weidong, where did you get so many US dollars?"

"Sister-in-law, I have been doing small business in the capital for several years," Jia Weidong said with a calm smile.

Jia Weidong only knows that the 37-year-old U.S. dollar bills have always been usable in the United States. He doesn't know when they will stop circulating in Hong Kong, so he might as well deposit them in the bank as soon as possible while they are in circulation now, so as not to have to travel to Laos for these U.S. dollars. Beauty goes.

The backpack he carries is only so big. Jia Weidong couldn't take it all out at once, so he took out a small part of it today.

By the time Shi Xingyue covered her mouth, it was already too late. The department manager and the two female employees next to her still heard her exclamation.The manager turned around and saw so many colorful hundred-dollar bills, and quickly came over to help Shi Xingyue count them. "Weidong, the total amount is 39 U.S. dollars, how do you save it?" Shi Xingyue asked Jia Weidong after counting the U.S. dollars with the manager and confirming that there were no problems.

"Sister-in-law, what's the exchange rate today?" Jia Weidong asked.

"Sir, today's exchange rate is 5.7735," the manager next to me answered very fluently. Being a manager doesn't mean you have to rely on your abilities.

Jia Weidong thought for a while and said: "Deposit 35 US dollars into a US dollar account, convert the rest into Hong Kong dollars, deposit 20 US dollars into a Hong Kong dollar account, and I want the rest in cash."

The Hong Kong dollar is still pegged to the pound, and will depreciate as the pound depreciates against the U.S. dollar. Jia Weidong only exchanged a small amount of Hong Kong dollars, which is enough for now.

"Sir, you can use a check and carry less cash with you. It is more convenient and safer." The manager was really professional and wanted to let Jia Weidong keep the money in the bank as much as possible.

"I have to pay for the house in the afternoon, and the check has to be verified by the other party. It's too troublesome. I don't have time."

He had less than 1 yuan in cash, and after paying for the house, he only had more than [-] yuan left. Jia Weidong wanted to keep it for use. He usually had to eat, take a taxi, and buy some small things. He couldn't write a check for everything.

"Sister-in-law, your bank should have a dedicated investment consultant service, right?" Jia Weidong asked, tapping his fingers lightly on the counter.

"Yes, Weidong, at your level you are fully qualified to choose an exclusive investment consultant."

"Then sister-in-law, please be my investment consultant. Give me the authorization letter and I will sign it for you."

"Oh, okay, thank you, Wei Dong," Shi Xingyue said with a smile as bright as a flower.

"Sister-in-law, we are our own family, why are you so polite? Where is the money? Isn't it a deposit?"

"Can it be the same? You don't even know sister-in-law." Shi Xingyue hesitated and did not continue.

"I still have some US dollars, so I will have to trouble my sister-in-law then," Jia Weidong said with a smile.

"Ah, Wei Dong, do you still have US dollars?" Shi Xingyue was almost numb.

"Yes! A friend brought me here. I will be in Xiangjiang in the next two days." Jia Weidong nodded and said calmly.

Having to apply for two account opening books, sign the authorization letter, and order so much cash really kept Shi Xingyue and the manager busy for a while.

Shi Xingyue was a little busy, but her face was full of smiles the whole time.This cousin's godbrother really impressed her. Not only was he young and handsome, he was also a very rich man.

Xiangjiang is a place where everything is about money. Being rich means having strength, status and respect.With such a relative in my family, I have some support at HSBC.

after an hour.

Jia Weidong put two HSBC account books, a check book and more than 8 Hong Kong dollars in cash into his backpack and left the HSBC headquarters.

"It's still early, so let's go shopping and walk back."

"Well, this sesame cake is good, buy some."

"These cookies are good. They must all like them. Buy some."

"Wife cakes, macaroons, egg rolls, paper-wrapped bones."

I have Hong Kong dollars, so I don’t panic, so I can buy various things.

It's just a little bit, but it's stuffed into the backpack. If someone is following Jia Weidong, they will be amazed, what kind of bag is this? It's so amazing, how can it hold so many things in such a small size?
There is no way, there are many women in the house, and there are also Banggan and Xiaodang, so don't buy more, otherwise you won't be enough.

"Xiangjiang is really a place for rich people. If you have money, you can buy all kinds of things," Jia Weidong sighed as he put things in the space.

Buying so much in one go would be unimaginable in the Mainland. No matter how clever you are, you won't be able to do it, because buying snacks also requires a ticket.
