Chapter 119 HSBC is in chaos
On June 15, 1985, a week after Zhang Lang invited President Xu to have afternoon tea.
HSBC's senior executives have had problems one after another.
Vice President Richard committed suicide by jumping off the building.
Senior economic adviser absconded with the money and swept away large amounts of money from customers.
Minister of Investment Department, choked to death after eating.
HSBC CEO Chen Chong resigned.
Then there were rumors that HSBC made a decision mistake and suffered huge losses in foreign investment!
Almost half of the wealthy businessmen in Xiangjiang have transferred their funds to Standard Chartered and other banks.
Then a bank run occurred in front of HSBC.
The Xiangjiang Police Department urgently dispatched police officers to maintain the situation.
The club in Xiangjiang has just been cleaned up by Zhang Lang, and the public security is unprecedentedly good. Although the run is constantly expanding, there is no opportunity to cause trouble.
HSBC's stock plunged.
Thirty-two limit downs.
HSBC announced an emergency suspension of trading, which stopped the limit down.
On June 20, 1985, when the Governor General of Xiangjiang was about to intervene in the HSBC incident, Governor General of Xiangjiang Youde suddenly had a heart attack. After unlimited rescue, he became the first Governor General in Xiangjiang history to die.
The wages of civil servants in Xiangjiang are paid through HSBC.
If there is a problem with HSBC, then the whole of Hong Kong will be in chaos.
British Prime Minister Iron Lady held a meeting overnight to study the appointment of the Governor of Hong Kong and HSBC.
"Everyone, everyone knows the problem of Xiangjiang. We must come up with feasible solutions as soon as possible. We must never ask questions about Xiangjiang and it will worsen!
Otherwise, without waiting until 97, China will take this as an excuse to accept Xiangjiang in advance." The Iron Lady said to her cabinet straight to the point.
"According to our intelligence, all this is related to Zhang Lang from Ford Group!
According to all the analysis of our intelligence personnel's investigation, Zhang Lang of the Ford Group used the mysterious Chinese Feng Shui technique and killed Youde. The successive incidents that occurred in HSBC were also related to Feng Shui!" British Intelligence Agency Director Smith stood up to report the information they had.
"Why did Zhang Lang do this? According to what our Ministry of Foreign Affairs learned, Zhang Lang can talk to the most generous philanthropist in the world, and his various donations are over 100 million US dollars every year!" Foreign Minister Black stood up and questioned.
"According to what we learned, Zhang Lang's purpose is to acquire HSBC Bank with full ownership!
Before HSBC's accident, he invited Li Chaoren from Xiangjiang to his house for a secret talk!
Then Li Chaoren began to lobby various wealthy businessmen in Xiangjiang to withdraw funds from HSBC."
"There must not be chaos in Xiangjiang! Everyone, let's talk about it, how should we deal with it?"
"I think Feng Shui can be used to match Feng Shui! Since Zhang Lang used Feng Shui to disrupt the situation in Xiangjiang, then we can find Feng Shui masters to break Zhang Lang's Feng Shui bureau!" Director Smith, the Intelligence Bureau, stood up and suggested.
"I think we should first stabilize the situation of HSBC, mobilize funds, inject HSBC, and deal with the expanding run." The Minister of Commerce suggested.
"I think we can talk to Zhang Lang! He also has many industries in the UK. I believe he will not be willing to have too much trouble with the British government." Foreign Minister Black expressed his opinion.
At this time, Zhang Lang leisurely accompanied his wife and children to visit the scenery of Southeast Asia, while smiling bitterly as he looked at the light of merit above his head.
Starting from the fact that HSBC Vice President jumped off the building, the light of merit above Zhang Lang's head began to dive like HSBC's stocks.
As time goes by, the light of merit that illuminates the head is still dissipating.
As for Britain's idea, it was not within his consideration.
No one has broken the Feng Shui Bureau he set up except his master Taoist Master Qingyuan.
He is even less afraid of the British government's use of rascal means, and behind him is China, which is rising rapidly.
Therefore, Zhang Lang had no intention of hiding from anyone from the beginning.
He was telling the British government clearly that I want it!
Do you let it go?
The British cabinet meeting continues.
Everyone expressed their opinions, and finally made a decision with the wise and decisiveness of the Iron Lady.
"A two-pronged approach is the Intelligence Bureau responsible for finding a powerful Feng Shui master and breaking Zhang Lang's Feng Shui Bureau.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Zhang Lang contacted and negotiated!"
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was very quick. The next day, Zhang Lang received a notice from the company and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a specialist to meet Zhang Lang.
"I'm waiting for them on Qilin Island!" This is Zhang Lang's answer.
Qilin Island is a private island that Zhang Lang arranged for Ye Xiaoxian to buy when his son was born.
Name it after the nickname of your son.
It covers an area of 25 square kilometers, almost half the size of the Kowloon Peninsula.
Originally belonged to Malaysia.
After more than two years of renovation and construction, the original unmanned island is now a modern resort island with full facilities.
Zhang Lang and his family are now on vacation on this small island.
The British Foreign Office Commissioner did not let Zhang Lang wait for a long time, and soon took a speedboat from Malaysia to Qilin Island.
"Mr. Zhang, I am Clyde of the British Foreign Ministry! I was ordered to come and discuss matters about HSBC!
We ask you to stop all crimes committed against HSBC immediately!
Otherwise, you will bear all the consequences of this!" As soon as the British Foreign Office Commissioner came, he proudly warned Zhang Lang.
"I don't understand what you said! If you think I have committed a crime, you can file extradition to the Chinese government or seize my Ford Group!
But please provide evidence!" Zhang Lang glanced at the Foreign Ministry Commissioner coldly.
"Okay, Mr. Diplomat, I'm very busy, you can leave now!
Go and collect evidence, sue me, or send police to arrest me!" Zhang Lang waved his hand and signaled the security guard to drive him away.
Clyde, a professional from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was very politely invited out of Kirin Island.
The next day, Zhang Lang was working as a sand sculpture with his son and younger sister on the beach.
Sun Jiahui came over to inform him that the British Foreign Minister wanted to speak on the phone with him.
As for the arrogant diplomat, Clyde has been fired.
Foreign Minister Blake was so angry that he wanted to kill him. Is this time you are proud?
If there is evidence, they will not be sent to negotiate with Zhang Lang.
Instead, he directly sent police to seize Ford Group and prosecuted Zhang Lang.
"Mr. Zhang, I am Black, the Foreign Minister of the British Government..."
"Hello Mr. Black! If you are here to ask for guilt, then don't worry too much!" Zhang Lang interrupted Black directly.
"no!no! I'm here to ask Mr. Zhang for help! HSBC has encountered some problems recently, and we know Mr. Zhang can help us solve these problems!
Therefore, on behalf of the British Royal Government, I communicate with Mr. Zhang!
Chapter completed!
