Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Chapter 367 HSBC Bank

Wang Jianjun basically has no good impression of those foreigners.

He firmly believed that those who were not of his race must have different hearts.

And HSBC is the bank of those foreigners.

Besides, Hong Kong is now controlled by those foreigners.

Wang Jianjun doesn't think those foreigners have any good intentions.

But after thinking about it, he said to Shen Maiqiu;

"Wife, go ask the other party about the conditions."

In this day and age, if anyone can get in touch with HSBC, it's like having a golden finger, and becoming a rich man is easy.

But Wang Jianjun was not interested in the olive branch offered by HSBC.

Asking them for a loan is like letting them suck your blood.

It makes me uncomfortable just thinking about this kind of thing.

Sure enough, after Shen Maiqiu contacted the other party, HSBC also gave their conditions.

The loan amount is unlimited, but the condition is to sell yourself to the other party in a package.

And cooperate with the other party to gain benefits from Hong Kong.

"That guy actually said that if I cooperate with them, I will have the opportunity to become the richest man in Hong Kong."

Shen Maiqiu said with some disdain.

Wang Jianjun gave Shen Maiqiu a strange look.

The other party really didn't say anything wrong.

Didn’t Li Ka-shing later become the richest man in Hong Kong?

Although he is just the richest guard dog in Hong Kong, there are many people who don’t even have the chance to be a dog.

I just don’t know why, HSBC was originally supposed to support Li Ka-shing, but now it has come to me.

Could it be that he is more confident in his own abilities?

"Forget it. I have no intention of cooperating with them. Just reject it directly."

Wang Jianjun thought about it and refused without hesitation.

Why would you be a traitor if you are dead?

Just thinking of HSBC, Wang Jianjun suddenly had an idea.

I just happened to be short of money.

What banks lack the least is money.

Then putting the bank's money into your own pocket is equivalent to your own money.

After thinking about it, Wang Jianjun felt that this was actually very feasible.

"Wife, what do you say, let's rob a bank?"

"Ah? What did you say?!"

Shen Maiqiu looked at Wang Jianjun in shock, wondering if he was joking.

The next day, Wang Jianjun went to the HSBC headquarters in Hong Kong.

He really wasn't joking with Shen Maiqiu last night.

This period of time was due to some reasons that cannot be detailed.

Many people in Hong Kong come to HSBC to exchange cash.

There are long queues in front of the bank every day.

Wang Jianjun pretended to be an ordinary person and observed the situation inside the bank.

HSBC has a vault at its headquarters.

In this cash-based age, a bank must have a large amount of cash.

Unlike the later world, paper money has been gradually phased out.

So cash flows in and out of HSBC's headquarters every day.

Naturally, Wang Jianjun was targeting the vault.

It is said that the four sides of this vault are two meters thick and made of reinforced concrete.

There are no other entrances or exits except the ventilation ducts and the door.

Except for the bank president who has the key to the vault and can open the door, no one else can get in or out.

After taking a quick look at the internal environment, Wang Jianjun went straight to a corner, left a teleportation coordinate, and then left.

What Wang Jianjun didn't notice was that not long after he left.

A middle-aged, slightly bald man walked in.

The man was in his thirties or almost forty years old, and he looked either rich or noble in his suit.

When he came in, a bank employee immediately came up to him and said:

"Mr. Li, Chairman Shen is waiting for you upstairs."

The man called Mr. Li was Wang Jianjun’s competitor, Li Ka-shing.

In 65, Li Ka-shing was only about or years old.

Being in his prime, he is considered a famous entrepreneur in Hong Kong.

Previously, he was even known as the King of Plastic Flowers.

Like many self-made wealthy people in Hong Kong, Li Ka-shing also grew up in poverty.

Therefore, he was bold and hardworking at the beginning of his business. He earned his first pot of gold by marrying his rich cousin when he was penniless.

But now he no longer makes plastic flowers.

Li Ka-shing, who has a talent for business, noticed early on that real estate in Hong Kong had great prospects.

So he sold most of his assets when the real estate market was at its lowest this year and used the money to buy land.

It’s just that he, like Wang Jianjun, faces the problem of financial constraints.

Just when he was having a headache, HSBC Chairman Stephen Smith contacted him.

And offered the same conditions to Wang Jianjun.

Li Ka-shing hesitated for only a second before agreeing to the other party's conditions.

As long as you can make more money, conscience can be thrown aside.

For these top businessmen, concepts of nationality and ethnicity are not important.

Or they just don't care.

So after receiving the invitation, Li Ka-shing went to HSBC the next day to discuss the loan.

As long as this loan is negotiated, it will be his turn to show his skills.

Li Ka-shing can be said to be in high spirits at this moment.

He was confident that he could use this real estate opportunity to become one of the top four families.

This time, Li Ka-shing's conversation lasted until the evening before he left.

When he came out, his face was full of an uncontrollable smile.

It is obvious that his cooperation talks with HSBC went very smoothly this time.

After everyone had gone off work at night, Wang Jianjun used the coordinate scanning function to confirm that there was no one in the bank, and then he flashed into the bank.

There was no surveillance in this era, and bank security guards were patrolling outside.

There was no one inside.

This makes it convenient for Wang Jianjun.

Based on what he saw during the day, Wang Jianjun walked all the way to the direction of the vault building.

Along the way he came across several locked doors.

But this is not a problem for Wang Jianjun.

As long as a door can be opened, it means it is separated from the wall.

So he doesn't need a key, he just needs to touch the door with his hand and then scan it to put the door into the space.

In this way, any door in front of him is useless.

Wang Jianjun relied on this operation to reach the door of the underground vault.

When he opened the half-meter-thick metal door, what came into view was stainless steel boxes filling the shelves.

Wang Jianjun opened one at random, and inside was filled with banknotes.
