In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

After hearing what Lin Haoran said, Zhang Lei fell into a dilemma.

On the one hand, he understood that coming out to criticize Huifeng Bank meant huge risks. That was the bank with the deepest roots and the most powerful influence in the Hong Kong business community. Once offended, even with Lin Haoran's protection, there would still be risks and he would not be able to get away with it 100%.

But on the other hand, the temptation of 300,000 Hong Kong dollars is too great. This money can not only make up for his losses in the stock market, but also allow him and his family to live a stable and prosperous life overseas for a period of time.

After all, when leaving Hong Kong and going to a strange place, the most important thing is to have money. If you have no money and no connections, you will be unable to move forward.

In addition, if he chooses 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, although it is also a considerable amount of money, it will not play a big role for him. Compared with 300,000, the gap is huge. 100,000 cannot even pay off the debt. He is really unwilling to give up the extra 200,000 Hong Kong dollars.

He also knew that he had no bargaining chips because all the chips had already been laid out.

Moreover, the other party is such a big shot, and he has done his best.

So, he is now faced with a choice between the two, rather than trying to continue negotiating terms with Lin Haoran.

Soon, Zhang Lei felt relieved.

He himself likes gambling.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so bold as to borrow money to buy stocks.

Life is nothing but a gamble.

Lin Haoran promised to protect him and even secretly help him leave Hong Kong, so his safety has been greatly improved.

In addition, family members can also leave Hong Kong early.

In that case, why not take a gamble for HK$300,000?

Thinking of this, Zhang Lei asked directly: "Boss, can you really ensure my safety and help me leave Hong Kong after I correct it?"

"Of course, this is a big deal in your eyes, but in my opinion, it's just a small matter. You can rest assured that once you agree, I can transfer the money to you immediately!" Lin Haoran said with a smile.

"Okay, I agree!" Zhang Lei gritted his teeth, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, as if he had thrown all his concerns behind him.

“Well, in that case, Mr. Dashan, you are responsible for handling this matter. When you ask Mr. Zhang to correct it, I will notify you. If you have any questions, please contact me directly;

Mr. Zhang, I will give you half a day to go back and say goodbye to your family and arrange follow-up matters. After that, you will be arranged to stay in a hotel. You are not allowed to contact the outside world too much at will to avoid leaks.

By the way, Mr. Zhang, don't try to take the money and run away. I will arrange someone to keep an eye on you. I hope you don't have any tricks on this. I think you can imagine the consequences. "Lin Haoran looked at the two of them and said solemnly.

"Boss, please rest assured. I will make proper arrangements." Dashan nodded in response.

"Boss Lin, I understand. Now that I have promised, I will definitely do it and will not have any evil thoughts." Zhang Lei did not have any evil thoughts in mind. After all, the man in front of him was the famous richest man in Hong Kong. Playing tricks under his nose would be like hitting a rock with an egg.

After making the arrangements, Lin Haoran said goodbye to them and prepared to go to Kangle Building.

In the car, he called Cui Zilong and said, "Please postpone the interview with Oriental Daily. I have something for you to do. Please investigate for me whether Huifeng Bank is secretly poaching a large number of people from Bank of East Asia..."

Lin Haoran told Cui Zilong in detail about what happened at the Bank of East Asia.

After that, he naturally didn't have to worry about how to investigate.

After all, if they don't know the truth, asking them to investigate would be like a headless fly.

But now that we know about this, it will be much easier to conduct a targeted investigation.

"Okay, boss. I'll arrange it right away and give you the result as soon as possible!" Cui Zilong also knew the seriousness of the situation and did not continue to worry about the interview.

Time passed quickly and it was afternoon. Cui Zilong went to Lin Haoran's office in person and gave Lin Haoran the results of the investigation.

“According to our investigation, in just one night last night, Huifeng Bank secretly contacted more than 30 employees of Bank of East Asia, all of whom are important backbones of various branches of Bank of East Asia.

What is certain is that all the people they contacted, without exception, agreed to the conditions offered by Huifeng Bank and were ready to switch jobs there.

Someone like Zhang Lei might be the only exception. He nodded in agreement on the surface, but who would have thought that he would secretly leak the news to you, the boss.

If it weren't for Zhang Lei's "accident", you might not have known about this for a long time. By then, Bank of East Asia would have been ripped apart by Huifeng Bank and lost all its talents. Cui Zilong couldn't help but sigh.

Huifeng Bank was definitely imitating the tactics they used against Jardine Matheson Securities. Previously, Lin Haoran had his men poach employees from Jardine Matheson Securities, but it was because the preliminary work was kept secret that by the time Jardine Matheson knew about it, it was already too late.

This time, Huifeng Bank has obviously figured out the essence of this secret poaching strategy and plans to put it into practice to cut off the source of funds for Bank of East Asia.

However, they had planned everything, but they had not taken into account the variable of Zhang Lei. This move was a wrong one, which allowed Lin Haoran to prepare in advance.

Now that he already knew that Huifeng Bank was secretly poaching people on a large scale, Dashan had already begun to have private talks with some key personnel, analyzing the disadvantages of switching to Huifeng Bank one by one. The most important thing was to stabilize people's hearts.

As for the lower-level staff, it won’t be a big deal to poach some of them, as they can recruit more at any time. Let Huifeng Bank show off first.

In the blink of an eye, it is Monday morning and today is June 6th.

Long queues formed at all the major branches of Bank of East Asia before they opened in the morning.

In order to withdraw cash as soon as possible, some people even stay up all night and wait outside the bank early.

This weekend, as the media fermented the incident and Lin Haoran did not respond to the matter, coupled with Huifeng Bank's continued secret manipulation of some public opinions that were unfavorable to Bank of East Asia, Bank of East Asia's customers became increasingly anxious and worried about whether Bank of East Asia was really in crisis and whether its capital chain would be broken.

Huifeng Bank took the opportunity to add fuel to the flames and arranged for its online army to spread rumors on various occasions, causing people to become increasingly uneasy.

Therefore, today's bank run seems to be more severe than last Friday.

The line stretched like a long dragon, from the gate of each branch to the far end of the street. People's faces were full of anxiety and uneasiness, and they were whispering to each other.

Dashan did issue a soothing announcement in the name of the president of Bank of East Asia, but it had no effect at all.

……

At the headquarters of Huifeng Bank, Shen Bi was in his office, listening to the report from Executive Director Pu Weishi.

Next to the headquarters of Huifeng Bank is a branch of Bank of East Asia. At this moment, they can see the long queue of people waiting to withdraw cash from the window of their office.

It can be said that the plan to attack the Bank of East Asia was planned by Pu Weiss alone, so he was fully responsible for the matter.

"Mr. Shen Bi, in the past three days, we have taken the initiative to poach people from Bank of East Asia and have successfully contacted 68 people in total, most of whom are key employees of various branches of Bank of East Asia or even key employees of the head office.

For those employees who have not yet agreed to change jobs, we use cash as bait and have them sign a confidentiality agreement to promise not to disclose the matter to the outside world. This allows our poaching operations to continue in secret.

In addition, those important employees who had agreed to switch jobs here, with their special status and connections in Bank of East Asia, helped us to connect with more than one hundred people.

So far, the total number of Bank of East Asia employees who have confirmed that they will switch to our Huifeng Bank has exceeded 150. This will definitely bring great shock and trouble to Bank of East Asia.

However, it is a bit of a pity. Time is really too tight. If we could be given a week, I am sure we could recruit more core employees. By then, the Bank of East Asia would probably have collapsed completely.

Moreover, according to reliable information we have received, there is a high probability that more customers will line up to withdraw cash at Bank of East Asia today, and the bank run is bound to be more severe.

Now that Bank of East Asia has lost so many branch employees, I want to see how they will deal with this difficult situation!" Pu Weishi sighed with regret while reporting in detail.

But there was no trace of regret on his face. He could not hide his pride and excitement. The slightly upturned corners of his mouth were enough to show that he was very excited.

These are all achievements. Once they are finally successful, they will be of immeasurable help to his future succession to Shen Bi's position.

"Mr. Pu Weishi, you have done a good job. It is worth my training you. The action against the Bank of East Asia this time was well-planned and effectively executed. It has achieved initial results. I am very satisfied." Shen Bi leaned back in his chair with an approving smile on his face.

“If the Bank of East Asia suffers from severe staff loss, resulting in a significant decline in the efficiency of its cash withdrawal business and indefinitely extended waiting times for customers, it will surely lead to dissatisfaction and complaints from customers waiting in line to withdraw cash.

The sharp drop in the share price of Bank of East Asia has already made many investors anxious and complaining. A few days ago, there was even a farce of besieging the China Securities Regulatory Commission.

I have secretly arranged people, and when the time comes, with just a little guidance, they will be able to direct all the anger of shareholders and customers towards the management of Bank of East Asia, blaming them for their incompetence and dereliction of duty.

As long as the wave of public opinion continues to surge and the public's anger is thoroughly ignited, Bank of East Asia will inevitably fall into an irretrievable desperate situation.

By then, we will be able to drag it into a deeper crisis without any effort, or even dismember it directly. From then on, the Bank of East Asia, this major threat, will completely disappear from the Hong Kong business community!"

At this moment, Pu Weishi seemed to have witnessed the tragic end of the Bank of East Asia with his own eyes, and an increasingly arrogant and complacent smile appeared on his face. (End of this chapter)
