Countercurrent 1978 starts with the production team

At noon, Zhao Shizong didn't have any good intentions and suddenly proposed to have Western food. When several people came to the Western restaurant, there were already many people sitting in the restaurant.

Although Chu Jianghe is a very adaptable person, sitting in the Western restaurant of the Four Seasons Hotel, he still has the novel feeling of a countryman who has just arrived in the city.

Not to mention Ma Liang and Lao Wutou, the two of them were already a little restless when surrounded by foreigners.

Ma Liang has never eaten Western food, even the legendary Lao Mo in the capital. He has always wanted to go there, but he hasn't been there yet.

Lao Wutou is not that strong. He has never eaten these things and doesn't know what to do, but his experience is slightly better than Ma Liang's.

Zhao Shizong deliberately encouraged Chu Jianghe to order his own food. He handed Chu Jianghe a menu in English with a smile on his face and said, "Brother Chu, just order whatever you want to eat. Don't be polite to me."

Chu Jianghe took the English menu handed over by Mr. Zhao and felt a little dumbfounded. What kind of mentality did Mr. Zhao have? He wanted to make a fool of himself so much.

But little did he know that Chu Jianghe was proficient in English, so how could such a trivial matter be so difficult for him.

This Western food is not as varied as Chinese food. The menu only has a few pages. Chu Jianghe flipped through the menu a few times.

The price was really expensive and the portion was so small that Chu Jianghe really doubted whether they could have enough to eat.

But who is going to let Mr. Zhao pay the bill today? Mr. Zhao is very wealthy, so just order more.

Chu Jianghe smiled and wanted to see me make a fool of myself in the next life.

Chu Jianghe called the waiter over with proficient English.

"waiter!"

Chu Jianghe ordered food in fluent English. He ordered a bunch of pre-dinner bread and several steaks. If it was enough, he would order as much as he wanted.

The foreign waiter nodded frequently, but he was suspicious in his heart. The four of you ordered so many things, can you finish them?

However, good professional ethics told him not to talk too much in front of the guests. After confirming with Chu Jianghe, he took the order form with a smile and left.

Zhao Shizong was dumbfounded on the sidelines. After Chu Jianghe called waiter, he felt bad. After Chu Jianghe ordered the meal in fluent English, he was even more surprised.

"Brother Chu, you have a way, and you really have it. I didn't expect you to understand English. I'm going to go out of my way to eat whatever you order today. Is this really your first time in Hong Kong City?"

Chu Jianghe nodded and told him about this while chatting today.

Zhao Shizong's face was full of disbelief: "It's impossible."

Ma Liang interrupted at this time: "My brother is a top student at Beijing University. Isn't it normal to be able to speak English?"

Chu Jianghe didn't feel too proud, and said: "Brother Zhao, what you did is not very authentic. You know that we are all from the mainland, and you brought us here specially. You are deliberately trying to see us." joke."

Zhao Shizong smiled awkwardly when he revealed his little thoughts. At the same time, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes, praising Chu Jianghe's intelligence in his heart.

If someone had told him yesterday that Chu Jianghe, who came from the mainland, was coming to Hong Kong for the first time and could communicate smoothly with foreign guests in English, he would definitely not believe it.

After dinner, Zhao Shizong knew that Chu Jianghe was going to the bank, so he suggested taking his car there. He had nothing to do in the afternoon anyway.

Chu Jianghe didn't want to hide anything from him, so he agreed, and the group of people drove straight to the bank.

Zhao Shizong took Chu Jianghe to the HSBC Bank on Queen's Road, which is close to Central and only a few blocks away from the Four Seasons Hotel.

The Zhao family's cashier's check was issued at this bank, and deposits and withdrawals are very convenient.

When the group of them entered the bank, they were warmly received.

With the assets of the Zhao family, he is naturally a high-quality customer. He is a vvip customer of HSBC, so it is normal to receive courtesy.

A foreman manager led several people directly to a high-end reception room and ordered them to be given tea and snacks.

The foreman manager asked flatteringly: "Does Mr. Zhao have any business here today? Do you need me to call the manager?"

Zhao Shizong sat in the reception room with a golden sword, pointed at Chu Jianghe and said casually: "I have nothing else to do. I am here to accompany someone today. Don't worry about me. Just entertain him."

After hearing this, the foreman manager asked Chu Jianghe what kind of business he wanted to do in a pleasant manner.

Chu Jianghe handed over two 1000 million bank cashier's checks to the other party and said, "I'm here to withdraw the money. That's no problem."

"No problem, no problem."

The head manager's smile was still flattering. Even though he could hear the Chujianghe mainland accent, there was no strange color on his face. Who knew that Mr. Zhao had brought him here?

"I wonder if you are a customer of our bank? If not, I recommend you to open an account with our bank. We will definitely provide you with the best service."

With 2000 million Hong Kong dollars in funds, this is a high-quality customer for any bank. The lead manager still wants to fight for it. This is also a big achievement for him.

Seeing the other party's performance, Chu Jianghe thought of a lyric: To be a citizen of a big country, you only need to be rich.

In this place, as long as you have money, you are the boss, and that's really true.

Seeing that Chu Jianghe didn't reply, the head manager smiled unnaturally.

"Of course, you can withdraw cash if you want, but it will take some time. Sir, can I take the liberty to ask you what you plan to use the money for?"

Chu Jianghe raised his eyelids and said, "Why, do I have to report to you how I will use my money?"

The foreman manager's face twitched unnaturally, but out of professional habits he still had the same flattering smile: "Sir, you misunderstood. I'm just a little curious. After all, it's not convenient to carry such a large amount of cash. If it's not necessary, If so, it is more convenient to deposit it into a bank account. Maybe you have other uses. If it is investment, our bank will also help you allocate it."

The head waiter was polite and there was nothing rude about him.

Chu Jianghe didn't know what specific business HSBC currently has, so he said casually: "I plan to use this money to invest in futures."

When the lead manager heard that he was ready to invest, he felt reassured and said: "Sir, if you want to invest in futures, our HSBC Bank also has related financial services. There is no need to do anything more. For a customer as big as you, I will do it for you." What do you think of you striving for the best handling fee?”

If this 2000 million Hong Kong dollars slips out of his hands, forget about this month's bonus.

On the contrary, if the money is invested in futures at HSBC, it will have no impact on them at all.

Maybe if this customer trades a lot, he can still get commissions. If such a large amount of money is traded several times, the handling fees will be quite a lot.

Over there, Zhao Shizong was drinking coffee provided by the bank. When he heard that Chu Jianghe wanted to invest in futures, he immediately became interested. He put down the coffee in his hand and said, "Brother Chu, want to invest in futures? I don't know which variety to invest in."

Chu Jianghe smiled and said: "Gold futures."

"Oh? Gold futures? The price of gold futures should be around US$210 now, right?"

The foreman manager complimented: "Mr. Zhao, you are right. The price of gold is currently floating around US$215 and has been trading sideways for a while. At present, our professionals at HSBC believe that neither long nor short is a wise choice. , it’s better to stay on the sidelines.”

Zhao Shizong turned to Chu Jianghe and said, "Brother Chu, what do you think?"

"Haha, it's only over 200 US dollars. This opportunity is rare, so of course I have to make more! Brother Zhao, do you want to play?"
