Chapter 35 Performance of Contract
When it landed in Hong Kong, it was already 1950.

After leaving the airport, Xian Yaowen hailed a rickshaw alone with his suitcase and headed straight for Queen's Road.

About ten minutes later, he arrived at Zheng Dafu.

The guy who greeted him was the same guy as last time. Zhou Yutong probably told him that he didn't say much this time and took him directly to Zhou Yutong's office.

As soon as he saw Zhou Yutong, Xian Yaowen released his suitcase and clasped his fists, "Manager Zhou, long time no see. I'm here to fulfill my contract."

Zhou Yutong felt happy when he saw Xian Yaowen and quickly stood up to return the favor, "I heard the magpies chirping when I went out in the morning. I thought something good would happen today, but I didn't expect it was Boss Xian. Please sit down quickly. Please sit down quickly."

Xian Yaowen came to the seat opposite Zhou Yutong and sat down. He pointed at the suitcase and said, "Manager Zhou, in the suitcase is the 2000 taels of gold that I promised you. It is licensed gold from the Johannesburg Gold Company in South Africa. You can ask someone to inspect it."

Zhou Yutong glanced at the suitcase, then turned to look at Xian Yaowen, and said in surprise: "Boss Xian is actually bringing licensed goods?"

"I'm ashamed. Xian is too conceited and there are some flaws in the channels. It is impossible to supply goods to Manager Zhou as scheduled. Business is all about trust. Xian doesn't want to break his trust with Manager Zhou, so he can only use licensed products first." Give it a try." Xian Yaowen said sincerely.

Hearing this, Zhou Yutong felt very comfortable, and he was willing to deal with businessmen who were trustworthy.

"Boss Xian, if this happens, you will lose a lot on this transaction."

Zhou Yutong himself had purchased goods from a gold company. He could easily calculate the gold price and transportation costs. Xian Yaowen supplied him with a 15% discount on the gold price. A rough calculation meant that he would lose at least 20,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Xian Yaowen waved his hand, "The loss was caused by Xian himself. Let's take it as a lesson. Manager Zhou, I just came back from the UK. I'm tired from the journey and want to go back and rest early. We might as well handle the delivery first and I'll come to visit another day." Manager Zhou talks about future cooperation."

Zhou Yutong looked embarrassed, "It's a bit unfortunate that there are not many positions in the store today, not enough to settle the payment for Boss Xian."

"The payment is not urgent. Manager Zhou can just give me a receipt. It won't be too late to settle the payment next time we meet."

"Okay, boss Xian, please be happy. Let's inspect the goods now."

After successfully completing the delivery, Zhou Yutong gave Xian Yaowen a receipt, and then diligently walked him outside the store and watched him leave.

After leaving Zheng Dafu, Xian Yaowen came to Deyun Tea House. As soon as he went upstairs, Lin Xingliang, who was looking around, came over and said, "Mr. Xian, is there one today?"

"Liangzi, long time no see. I'm alone. I have something to do later. Please help me arrange something that can fill my stomach and serve quickly."

"Okay, Mr. Xian, I'll take you to your seat first, and I'll help you place your order later."

Xian Yaowen followed Lin Xingliang to an empty seat and sat down. When the other person went to help him place the order, he took out a box of Funan and Mason chocolates from his pocket and placed it on the table.

He brought back many affordable small gifts from London, ready to give away.

After a while, Lin Xingliang came back and brought a basket and a bowl to Xian Yaowen, "Mr. Xian, wontons and shrimp dumplings are just out of the pot, eat them while they are hot."

Lin Xingliang didn't leave the kitchen long enough to order a bowl of wontons, so he knew without thinking that he had taken what other customers had ordered.

"Liangzai, I'm very considerate, thank you." Xian Yaowen picked up the chocolate on the table and handed it to Lin Xingliang, "I just went to London, so I'll give it a try."

Lin Xingliang didn't refuse and took it directly, "Thank you, Mr. Xian. Eat slowly and call me if you need anything."

"it is good."

At the second glance, Xian Yaowen still had a good impression of Lin Xingliang. In the next period of time, he planned to come to Yunlai more frequently and see more of Lin Xingliang. If the impression did not change for the worse, he planned to poach the person and train him to become a business manager.

Hurrying to fill his stomach, Xian Yaowen went to HSBC.

There were not many people doing business in the hall, and the few business tables were basically empty. Xian Yaowen came to the table where he last handled accounts. As soon as he sat down, he said to the teller: "I want to issue a cashier's check."

"Sir, please show me your bankbook."

Xian Yaowen took out the passbook and handed it over. Unexpectedly, the teller took the passbook, unfolded it, and stood up when he saw the information on it. He hurriedly said: "Sir, please wait a moment."

After saying that, the person left quickly.

"What's going on? Has it attracted the attention of the bank's senior management?"

Banks are the standard configuration of consortiums. Without their own banks, the funds raised will fall in the eyes of others. If they are targeted, they can set up targeted traps.

For example, when investing in futures and stock markets, no matter how many anonymous accounts you set up, it will not help. As long as you check the source of funds in reverse, you can easily dig out the real identity hidden behind the scenes. At worst, the profits will be divided by the rat warehouse, and at worst, you will be hit. Seven inches, ended badly.

Xian Yaowen has managed a bank and has a very clear understanding of the bank's operating mechanism. He has 560 million in his account. He should have fallen into the eyes of the bank's senior management, but he doesn't know what actions will be taken. Credit card, wealth management, and insurance businesses have not yet begun to become popular. There is a deposit, loan and investment business, and apart from providing some benefits to big customers to stabilize them, there seems to be nothing much to do. "No..." Xian Yaowen recalled the development history of HSBC and soon discovered a clue. "HSBC started its business through incubation and support. Has he already entered its support list to be investigated?"

While Xian Yaowen was thinking, the teller from earlier had returned, followed by a tall woman with a somewhat lustful appearance. The woman came to Xian Yaowen and introduced herself: "Hi, Mr. Xian, I am Michelle, Michelle Morgan."

"Hello, Miss Morgan." Xian Yaowen shook hands with the other party, guessing in his mind that the other party's father should be a shareholder on the board of directors of HSBC.

Michelle took back her hand, took out an invitation letter and handed it to Xian Yaowen, "Mr. Morse would like to invite Mr. Xian to attend the banquet he hosted."

Xian Yaowen took it, unfolded it to look at the date of the event, and then said: "Thank you for the invitation, I will attend on time."

Michelle nodded and handed over another business card, "Mr. Xian, if you have any business matters in the future, you can call me and I will help you solve it as soon as possible."

"You can call me Adam."

Xian Yaowen took the business card and glanced at the words on it. There were two titles on Michelle's title list: public manager and VIP service manager.

In the early days when there was no stock market in Hong Kong, HSBC had already bought and sold shares through over-the-counter transactions. At that time, companies with publicly traded shares like this were called public companies. When the Hong Kong Stock Brokers Association (the predecessor of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange) was established in 1890, HSBC It can already be regarded as a listed company.

The public manager explains it using job terms that have not yet appeared. It can be equated to the investor relations director, or it can barely be equated to the board secretary unique to A-shares.

VIP service managers can probably also be equated with private bank managers, but HSBC has not yet labeled itself a private bank and has not publicly provided such services, so it can only be called VIP services.

These two positions are held by Michelle, a young woman at the same time. Xian Yaowen is sure that her father is one of the major shareholders of HSBC. Today's workplace is unfair to women. No matter how capable or "capable" one is without the blessing of blood Women don't want to climb into her position.

"OK, Adam, you can just call me Michelle." Michelle nodded again to Xian Yaowen and promoted her business again, "If you need anything, just call me."

"Michelle, is it within HSBC's service range to help customers order cars?"

"of course."

"I need a Saab 92."

"Why Saab?" Michelle paused and added: "I mean there are other better choices on the market, Rolls-Royce, Rover, and several other good brands."

Xian Yaowen said with a smile: "I heard that the body of the Saab 92 is stamped from a single steel plate, which is strong and safer."

"Understood, give me a number and I will message you as soon as possible."

"Sorry, there is no phone installed at home yet." Xian Yaowen said shyly: "Michelle, could you please apply for a phone for me?"

Michelle was dumbfounded by Xian Yaowen's indifference. Ordering a car was barely within the scope of HSBC's VIP services, but when she helped apply for a phone number, she strongly suspected that Xian Yaowen was taking advantage of HSBC.

The reason why she thinks so is because it is not easy to install a telephone in Hong Kong at this time. For an ordinary family, if they want to install a telephone, they first go to the street to find a letter writer to write an application letter in English. , Chinese will not be accepted. After the letter is sent, you should receive a notice in one to two years, and the installation will be done on a certain day of the month.

The phone will not be connected immediately after it is installed. The user must pay the installer a little tea money so that the phone can be connected in an hour or two. Otherwise, he or she can wait slowly and be lucky if the phone can be connected in two days.

If you want to rush it, you can pay a "facilitation fee" of RMB 1,000, and it will be installed at your door in about a month.

Xian Yaowen wanted to install the phone quickly, preferably within a week, but he didn't want to spend more money. So Michelle gave him a ladder and he climbed up with all his strength.

"Adam, what's your address?"

Michelle really didn't want to help Xian Yaowen handle this mess, but the other person had become the target that HSBC wanted to win over. It would be inappropriate not to help, so he had to force himself.

"Thank you so much." Xian Yiu Man gave Michelle a sincere smile, "I live at No. 49, Lee Uk Estate, Sham Shui Po. I need two phone lines."

Michelle suppressed her violent temper and said calmly: "OK, I will give you the news as soon as possible. I have something else to do, so excuse me."

"Please."

After taking advantage, Xian Yaowen asked the teller to open a new account for him, transferred 500 million from the old account to the new account, opened another cashier's check for 78, opened a safe, and brought back the passbook and London of the new account. The cashier's checks were deposited in the safe, leaving only one with a denomination of 500 pounds on him.

After leaving HSBC, Xian Yaowen went to Giant Eagle Real Estate and entered Luo Yingshi's office without any hindrance.

"Brother Luo, have you been neglecting food and rice lately and are you always worried about me running away?" As soon as he entered the office, Xian Yaowen immediately clasped his fists and joked.
