The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 278
The next day, Xu Guanwu went to HSBC, transferred more than 2000 million US dollars stored there, and transferred it to the account of the Hong Kong branch of the Bank of China.

His big move naturally couldn't escape the eyes of the manager Shen Bi, "Xu, what's your purpose in mobilizing such a large amount of money?" He asked in complete incomprehension.

In his opinion, although Xu Guanwu said he was neutral, he should still lean towards Hong Kong and the UK, but he never expected that he would transfer such a large amount of money to the Hong Kong branch of the Bank of China.It is not only a financial company, but also the gateway of the mainland to Hong Kong, which has very obvious political significance.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help smiling. He also knew that even if such a large sum of money was transferred in batches, if it exceeded a certain amount, it would attract the attention of HSBC, so he didn't mean to hide it at all.

"Do you still remember what I told you that day, what position HSBC will maintain if the mainland changes?" Xu Guanwu suddenly looked at Shen Bi and said.

Shen Bi couldn't help being taken aback, and then looked at Xu Guanwu in disbelief, "You mean, big changes are about to take place in the mainland?"

Xu Guanwu smiled, "There is a saying in China called the Prophet of Ducks in Spring River Plumbing. Now it is April, when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. The river water turns warm and the grass sprouts. If the ducks don't go into the water, how will they know that the river water is warming and how can they eat the best ducks?" Delicious sprouts?"

Shen Bi thought about it quietly, "Your behavior will offend the conservative forces in Hong Kong. I may not have prejudice against the mainland, but I can't guarantee it for others. So I must give you a warning first, don't be too paralyzed main idea."

Xu Guanwu nodded, "Actually, I am also mentally prepared. At worst, I will transfer the business to others, and then go to the United States with my wife to develop. In Hong Kong, there will be a few years at most, and the situation will undergo a fundamental reversal. It’s not too late for me to come back and develop.”

Shen Bi was even more surprised, "What do you mean by the astonishing reversal?!"

"As far as I know, the New Territories were leased by the Manchu Qing government to the British government for a total of 99 years. That is to say, it will expire in [-]. When the time comes, where will the New Territories, Kowloon and Hong Kong Island go?!" Xu Guanwu Slightly smiled.

"Impossible, the British Empire government will never agree!" Shen Bi shouted excitedly, if what Xu Guanwu said was true, it would be the end of HSBC Bank.

"Calm down, whether I'm right or not will be known in a few years." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "At that time, what should HSBC do? There is an old saying in China, plan ahead, don't dig a well when you are thirsty. Shen Sooner or later, Mr. Bute will be the head of HSBC Bank, so he has to take a long-term view. Mainland China has a population of one billion, a vast land and abundant resources. It is the most populous country in the world and the largest potential market in the world. It has unlimited potential to be tapped.”

"I think you have probably heard of the prosperous scene of the ten-mile foreign market in the magic capital, and you have seen the wisdom of the local Chinese in Hong Kong, so you should understand the energy contained in one billion people." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "This is a city with great potential. A huge market with the most abundant human resources in the world, once it gets on the right track of economic development, no one in the world can stop it from moving forward.”

"Mr. Shen Bi, you also want to expand your territory and become the greatest banker in the history of HSBC, right? Then China is a market that you must not ignore." Xu Guanwu finally smiled slightly.

After hearing Xu Guanwu's words, Shen Bi couldn't help being stunned, and smiled after a long time, "Xu, I have to say that your speech was very appealing and almost moved me. It's just that you forgot the most important thing. The point is that the current economic policy in mainland China is restricting the free development of the economy. No matter how many people and smart minds he has, if he is restrained by the system, he will not have any room for development.”

Xu Guanwu couldn't help shaking his head when he heard this, "What if the mainland changes its thinking, what if the new leader recognizes the reality and proposes reforms to take a new path?"

Shen Bi couldn't help opening his eyes wide after hearing what Xu Guanwu said, "You mean, could it be that the leader from the north will..."

Xu Guanwu nodded, "Didn't I remind you a long time ago to pay attention to the news reports from the north. The old man has been in front of people for a while, right?"

"I thought you were talking about that other person before, but I didn't expect you were referring to the supreme leader." Shen Bi suddenly realized, "Mr. Xu, don't you have intelligence personnel in the north?"

Xu Guanwu couldn't help laughing, "Your HSBC has such a large family business, it is impossible to send someone to sneak there, so what can I do? I just speculate on the conclusions based on the articles in the newspaper. Mr. Shen Bi, I have already It is very clear, you can choose to believe it or not, but for me, even if I offend the conservative forces in Hong Kong for this and get kicked out of Hong Kong by them, I will not change my original intention and will still vote for the mainland. "

"You have done such a big business in Hong Kong, wouldn't it be a pity if you were forced to leave?" Shen Bi asked in surprise.

Xu Guanwu's investment in Hong Kong now exceeds [-] million US dollars, and it brings him huge profits every year. If it were him, he would never give up such a large family business and go to the United States to start again.

"Mr. Shen Bi, to be honest, money is not very important to me. I was able to earn [-] million US dollars in two years before. Even if I lose it now, I still have the confidence to make money in two years. If I earn back, I may even earn more." Xu Guanwu said with a confident smile, "If I had to choose between money and country, I would choose country without hesitation."

"Why?" Shen Bi asked suspiciously. He had already memorized Xu Guanwu's information. He immigrated to Hong Kong since he was a child, grew up in a slum area in Hong Kong, and then went to school and worked in Hong Kong. He received a colonial education in Hong Kong. How could that be? Have such deep feelings for the Mainland?
If he had grown up in Hong Kong and received that kind of education, he would definitely not have a great sense of identity with the mainland.

Moreover, Shen Bi also found that none of Xu Guanwu's brothers and sisters had such a strong sense of identity as him, which couldn't help but be a very strange phenomenon.The four brothers in a family grew up in exactly the same environment, and received basically the same education, but the results produced are quite different. One can't help but wonder where Xu Guanwu's strong sense of identity comes from?
Naturally, Shen Bi would never have thought that the soul in Xu Guanwu's body came from time travel, his parents, his hometown, and his roots were all in the mainland.And when making money is a piece of cake for him with the help of advanced memory, he instinctively has the urge to not return to his hometown when he is rich, just like traveling at night in brocade clothes.

Returning riches and honor to one's native land, returning fallen leaves to one's roots, is a complex that only the Chinese can understand, and this complex is deeply rooted and has been melted in the depths of the bone marrow and soul.

Before crossing, Xu Guanwu was poor and short. He lived in a village in the city, ate waste oil, and earned hard-earned money. He never let his parents enjoy the blessings in his life, and he never performed filial piety in front of them.So now that he is rich, this sense of guilt is deeply rooted in his heart, like a poisonous snake gnawing at his heart day and night.

In addition to the guilt towards his parents, at the same time, Xu Guanwu couldn't help but feel sad for a while when he saw the poverty and backwardness of the motherland in the 70s.

Even though there were so many unsatisfactory things and so many grievances in that world before crossing over, the bottom line is that I love this country, and I am afraid it will end!

Hate because of love, hate has many problems, many problems, but the root of this hate is still love, it is hoped that it will become better, not like fifty cents, trying to find ways to burn it, and destroy it no matter what!

Xu Guanwu had never felt that he was an angry young man before, nor had he ever talked about patriotism, but when he traveled back to the 70s and saw the poor and backward inland with his own eyes, the fiery emotion in his heart burst out.

Before, he had no money, no status, no identity, but now he has everything he should have. Even if it is not for our country, even for his parents who are still suffering and poor, Xu Guanwu would like to go to the mainland.

Even if those conservative forces in Hong Kong obstructed him in every possible way, Xu Guanwu didn't want to change his original intention.

"It's a big deal, you guys won't hang out in Hong Kong anymore, what else can you do?"

……

It was difficult for Shen Bi to understand Xu Guanwu's thoughts and actions, but this did not prevent him from taking Xu Guanwu's words into consideration.If the change that Xu Guanwu said really happened in the north, he really had to make preparations in advance.

The main business of HSBC is in Hong Kong. If after 99, the New Territories, Kowloon and even Hong Kong Island were to be taken back, HSBC would suffer a serious setback.

The simplest thing is that at least the right to issue Hong Kong dollars will be taken back by the mainland.The right to issue currency can be said to be a crucial matter for banks, which is as important as their lives.

As the Rothschild family said, as long as I can control a country's currency issuance rights, I don't care who is making the laws.

In fact, it is precisely because HSBC has the right to issue currency that it has power over the Governor of Hong Kong.In many cases, the words spoken by the HSBC Taipan are often more weighty than the Governor of Hong Kong.

Shen Bi knew that he was going to take over the top class position of HSBC Bank, so now he had to start planning for the future as Xu Guanwu said.

"A market of one billion people, the brains of a billion people, and the creativity of a billion people..." Shen Bi muttered to himself, and a strangely bright light flashed in his eyes looking to the north.

……

Xu Guanwu transferred the 500 million US dollars stored in HSBC to the Hong Kong Branch of Bank of China, which made the president almost ecstatic.

The work of the Hong Kong branch is actually very difficult. Only leftists deposit money here, but because most of the leftists are workers, the amount of money is not considered large.Moreover, since the Hong Kong movement in the 60s, the leftists in Hong Kong have gradually lost their popularity due to various incidents, making the work of the Hong Kong branch more and more difficult.

Some Hong Kong citizens chose to deposit their money in the branch before, but after the incident, they all took out the money and deposited it in Hang Seng Bank, HSBC and other British-funded and Hong Kong-funded banks. The Hong Kong branch almost suffered an accident due to a run on the bank.

But Xu Guanwu's 500 million US dollars was the largest deposit ever received by the branch, which was even more than the existing foreign exchange reserves.

"Mr. Xu, thank you so much. I really want to thank you for your support and trust in our work. I really..." The president shook Xu Guanwu's hand.

Xu Guanwu was also very moved. This is equivalent to the governor of a province. It will be as difficult as heaven to meet in the future.But now because of such a small amount of money, he was moved to such a state, which really made Xu Guanwu feel very sad.

"It should, it should..." Xu Guanwu also said, "It is my duty to support the country's financial construction, and I am absolutely obliged to do so."

"Oh, it's really not simple." The president couldn't help but praised, "Mr. Xu has such a strong sense of responsibility and recognition for the country, which surprised us all."

Xu Guanwu couldn't help smiling when he heard this, "I have been patriotic since I was a child, but I didn't have the ability at that time. Now I can finally do my part for the country."

"It's rare, it's really rare." The president held Xu Guanwu's hand, and he couldn't put it down.
