Hong Kong Tycoon: Starting from Delivering Dongfeng Express

Chapter 175 Ye Dongsheng: You tried to bribe me with my money?!
Ring ring ring...

Inside the car, Ye Dongsheng answered the mobile phone:
"Amei, um? What? You ran into three strange men at the door? Should I go over now? Okay, then you should rest well."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Dongsheng thought to himself that he would have to take her home next time. If those three were bad guys, things would be really bad.

In fact, after Tong Yee Tong announced that they were in charge of this public housing estate, very few gangsters dared to cause trouble here. Even debt collectors would first inform Tong Yee Tong beforehand.

So it's still pretty safe here.

Actually, Tong Yi Tang usually had people keeping watch nearby, but the three from Dao Heng Bank were dressed in suits and looked quite polite, so no one suspected them of being bad guys. Besides, it's Christmas Eve today, and gangsters celebrate too!
Then Ye Dongsheng recalled Ruan Mei's description: she had been staking out Lei Dabiao's house, trying to find out where Lei Dabiao's family was. They didn't even celebrate Christmas Eve. At this time, the only people who would be so eager to find Lei Dabiao were probably Daoheng Bank!
Combined with the fact that Long Jiajun acted as an intermediary to arrange a meeting with him this morning, Daoheng Bank is trying to win over Radar Darts while simultaneously trying to negotiate with him. It seems they are really in a hurry!

Ye Dongsheng sneered. Luckily, he was prepared!
Sending the Radar Dart family to Canada for Christmas was naturally Ye Dongsheng's doing!

Radar Dart is one of the key figures in this case. Although Radar Dart is of decent character, he doesn't want to test people's nature. Under these circumstances, who knows what price Daoheng Bank is willing to offer Radar Dart?
Put yourself in his shoes. If he were Radar Dart and Daoheng Bank offered him 2000 million, compared to 50 million for 2000, he would definitely be very unhappy with the previous agreement.

Although it's true that without Ye Dongsheng's lawsuit to protect his rights, it would have been impossible to get 2000 million from Daoheng Bank, human nature often makes people think about things from their own perspective, ignoring the contributions of others and magnifying their own gains and losses.

Ye Dongsheng didn't want Radar Dart to face the test of money and conscience.

Many schools on Hong Kong Island have a winter break before Christmas, so Radarbiao's three school-aged daughters all have time to relax.

So Ye Dongsheng simply bought plane tickets to Canada for the whole family, saying it was a Christmas gift for them. He also reimbursed their return tickets, which made the Radar Biao family extremely happy. They happily took the plane to Canada for a trip!
In this way, the potential dangers posed by the radar dart can be temporarily delayed for a month or two.

Let's see if Dao Heng Bank can withstand the pressure during this period!
"Tink tink, tink tink, tinkle bell..."

Hearing the cheerful singing coming from the street, Ye Dongsheng put down his mobile phone, his thoughts drifting to the beauty at home...

As soon as he got home, the thoughtful Moonlight dressed Ye Dongsheng in a Christmas outfit.

Ye Dongsheng, disguised as Santa Claus, rides a little reindeer at a gallop. One moment he's Santa Claus riding the reindeer, the reindeer whip cracking constantly; the next, a snow-white reindeer is riding Santa Claus, tumbling and singing...

On Christmas Eve, the bells on the Moonlight Christmas outfit kept ringing!

……

Three days later, Daoheng Bank.

The bank manager walked into his office clutching his back. He had waited until midnight on Christmas Eve, spending the night in front of Lei Dabiao's house, which had really worn him out!
But what upset him even more was that he waited for most of the day in vain, and in the end, no one came!
The Radar Dart family did not return home all night!
A moment later, seeing Attorney Han also walking in rubbing his back, the bank manager immediately asked, "How is it? Have you found any trace of the Radar Dart family?"

Attorney Han nodded: "We've found out. We contacted the TV station where Radar Dart works and learned that he took half a month of annual leave and his whole family went on vacation to Canada!"

The bank manager asked in surprise, "Half a month? Do TV stations have such long annual leave?"

"He took leave for the New Year, combining this year's and next year's annual leave with the weekends, which makes it exactly half a month..."

The bank manager opened his mouth, straightened up, and then felt a soreness in his lower back. He rubbed his aching back and said, "Going to Canada for a two-week vacation at this time? Do you think it's a coincidence?"

Attorney Han shook his head: "How could that be? He works so hard to support his family of four, where would he get so much spare money to go on a two-week vacation in Canada! It must be Ye Dongsheng's doing; he doesn't want us to meet with Radar Dart!"

"Half a month..."

The bank manager sighed. There were only a few days left until the New Year, and if the Hong Kong government announced that it would amend the Banking Ordinance, they would be in an even more passive position.

"It seems we still need to deal with this Ye Dongsheng first!"

……

The concept of a clubhouse actually originated from private clubs in the UK, which provide social and leisure opportunities for specific small groups of people.

The earliest clubhouse on Hong Kong Island was called the Hong Kong Island Club, which was established in 1846 and is one of the most prestigious clubhouses in Asia.

In its early years, the members of the Hong Kong Island Association were all foreigners, but with the rise of Chinese power, the membership gradually opened up, and more and more Chinese businessmen joined, making it an important venue for business exchanges.

The location of the Hong Kong Island Club has changed many times. The latest location is the Hong Kong Island Club Building, which was built and opened in 1984. It is located in Central and the building is named after the Hong Kong Island Club, which shows its strength.

The building has 25 floors, eight of which are dedicated to the club's facilities, including a garden lounge, a luxury restaurant, a casual bar, a business café, as well as private rooms and banquet facilities. Other diverse amenities such as a library, gym, and entertainment facilities are also available, fully meeting the needs of members.

At this moment, Ye Dongsheng was led by a waiter into a private room.

There were three people sitting inside. When Ye Dongsheng entered, they immediately stood up and greeted him with smiles.

A white man in his thirties was the first to extend his hand to Ye Dongsheng, speaking in fluent Cantonese: "Mr. Ye, it's an honor to meet you!"

Ye Dongsheng shook hands with him lightly: "Nice to meet you~"

Then he tentatively asked, "Excuse me, are you Commissioner Charles?"

Commissioner Charles was the person who contacted him through Lung Ka-Chun. He is actually the Deputy Director of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and a director of the Financial Secretary, making him a powerful figure in Hong Kong's financial circles.

However, according to Long Jiajun, Charles seems to be an old man nearing 60, so he is definitely not the person in front of us.

The white man smiled and shook his head:

"My name is Peter Ford! Mr. Charles has other important matters to attend to, but he is concerned about the overall financial situation in Hong Kong and hopes to prevent excessive turmoil and maintain the current prosperous state of Hong Kong's economy. Therefore, he specially took the initiative to invite Mr. Yip here!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Dongsheng immediately understood Charles's attitude. Charles had merely acted as an intermediary to invite him; he hadn't even come in person, only sending a subordinate. It seemed Charles wasn't particularly interested in the Daoheng Bank matter. Therefore, he didn't need to be too wary of him!
Then Bi Defu introduced, "Mr. Ye, this is Mr. Guo Youxiang, Chairman of Daoheng Bank, and this is President Ma of Daoheng Bank."

Ye Dongsheng didn't even extend his hand this time, but just smiled faintly and said, "So it was Chairman Guo who wanted to see me. I thought it was Commissioner Charles who wanted to see me today."

Guo Youxiang maintained his smile and praised, "I had long heard that a young talent had emerged from Hong Kong Island, who had built a huge business for Dongfeng Express in just a few months, making a fortune every day. Meeting Mr. Ye today, I can see that he is indeed extraordinary!"

Ye Dongsheng chuckled, and said meaningfully, "My reputation is nothing to mention, but the reputation of Daoheng Bank is much more important!"

The current public opinion environment is unfavorable for Daoheng Bank. As long as this matter remains unresolved, Daoheng Bank's reputation will not improve. "Gentlemen, please don't stand there talking. We have fine tea and wine waiting for you to enjoy!" Bi Defu invited.

Ye Dongsheng smiled and looked around the private room: "Such a private place, no outsiders will disturb us. Brother Bi, you are really thoughtful!"

President Ma, standing nearby, explained with a smile:

"We also know that Mr. Ye does not want to meet with us in public, so we specially chose this place. It is discreet enough that there is absolutely no possibility of it being leaked!"

Ye Dongsheng sat down casually, a smirk playing on his lips, and said rudely, "You guys are really thoughtful. If you had such a good attitude earlier, there wouldn't have been so many problems."

Chairman Guo Youxiang personally poured Ye Dongsheng a cup of tea:

"Mr. Ye, you're right. The people below don't know how to do things properly, turning a simple matter into this mess. We're here today on behalf of Daoheng Bank to apologize to you!"
Commissioner Charles and I are good friends, and I've known the Lung family for many years. The social circle in Hong Kong isn't very big, and we'll all run into each other frequently in the future.

As the saying goes, it's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. Our Daoheng Bank hopes to resolve this grievance with you, Mr. Ye!

Ye Dongsheng picked up his teacup, took a sip, and asked with a smile, "Oh? How do you intend to resolve this?"

President Ma immediately took out an agreement and placed it on the table.

Guo Youxiang said with a smile, "Mr. Ye, your villa in Repulse Bay has a loan of 1340 million. I'll take the initiative to waive the entire loan!"

Ye Dongsheng put down his teacup, crossed his legs, and said, "Hmm, and then?"

Guo Youxiang maintained his smile: "Mr. Ye, isn't 1340 million enough to express the sincerity of Daoheng Bank?"

Ye Dongsheng chuckled: "Chairman Guo, I appreciate Daoheng Bank's sincerity; it's quite good! Now, let's discuss how you plan to compensate me for the 2000 million yuan deposit dispute!"

Guo Youxiang and President Ma exchanged a glance, then Guo coughed and said, "Mr. Ye, I think you've misunderstood. What I mean is, we'll use the 1340 million yuan loan forgiveness in exchange for a 2000 million yuan settlement of the deposit dispute!"

Ye Dongsheng looked at the two of them as if they were idiots, then sneered: "Chairman Guo, you've really got a good plan. Exchanging 1340 million for 1960 million, and you call that sincerity?!"

President Ma said, "Mr. Ye, you bought this loan from Radar Dart for 50, and now our bank is willing to exchange it for 1340 million. You've already made a great deal!"

Ye Dongsheng sneered, "It's my business how much I bought it from Radar Dart, but the face value of this deposit is 1960 million! Now that the court has ruled against Daoheng Bank and ordered you to return this money to me immediately, this money is mine!"
You traded 1340 million for my 1960 million, taking such a huge advantage of me, and you still say you want to settle? Do you think I'm a fool?!

President Ma frowned and said, "Mr. Ye, you can't say that. This is only the first instance. We can appeal to the second instance and the final instance. At that time, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose."

However, in business, harmony brings wealth. Daoheng Bank is willing to take a slight loss, simply to make friends with you. 1340 million is not a small sum!

"Alright, then you can continue your appeal and see who wins in the end!"

After saying that, Ye Dongsheng stood up and was about to leave.

Bi Defu quickly stood up and pulled Ye Dongsheng aside, advising, "Mr. Ye, don't be anxious. Everything can be discussed. Why insist on taking this to court? It's putting everyone in a difficult position!"

"Old Bi, now they're trying to make things difficult for me!"

Bi Defu reassured him, "Don't worry, I don't think Chairman Guo meant that. Let's listen to him again."

Ye Dongsheng sat down, but his face remained cold as he said nothing more.

Biedford gestured to the two men to let them continue their conversation.

Chairman Guo and President Ma exchanged a glance and both sighed inwardly; this Ye Dongsheng was indeed not easy to deal with.

However, the radar dart, which is easy to use, can't find anyone now. There's no other way but to keep increasing the stakes and try again.

Chairman Guo spoke again: "Mr. Ye, Daoheng Bank can give you 1960 million, but it will be in installments, and you must cooperate with Daoheng Bank's actions to restore Daoheng Bank's reputation..."

Ye Dongsheng immediately interrupted him, saying, "Chairman Guo, are you kidding me?"

Mr. Guo frowned and said, "Mr. Ye, what do you mean?"

"You seem to have misunderstood something! I'll say it again, this 1960 million originally belonged to me. You're now trying to bribe me with my money, demanding that I cooperate with you? That's utterly ridiculous!"

President Ma retorted, "Mr. Ye, Daoheng Bank is already making the biggest concession by giving you this 1960 million. Do you really want to get this 1960 million for nothing?"

Bi Defu added, "Mr. Ye, Daoheng Bank is willing to give you 1960 million. I think your request has been met. Don't turn down money. It's just some harmless cooperation."

Commissioner Charles hopes the heat surrounding this matter will die down quickly…

Ye Dongsheng said impatiently, "Commissioner Charles? Let Charles come and speak to me in person!"

Biedford paused for a moment: "You..."

Ye Dongsheng frowned: "Hmph! The reason I'm here today is to give face to the Long family and Charles, but don't try to intimidate me with this Charles commissioner thing! I don't do finance or real estate, and no matter how far his influence extends, he can't touch me!"

Bi Defu, the foreigner, looked unpleasant after being confronted by Ye Dongsheng, but he couldn't say a word.

Long Jiajun's Long Group is in the real estate business, so naturally they have to take into account the banking industry and Charles, who holds real power, since real estate relies on lending.

But Ye Dongsheng's Dongfeng Express is beyond the jurisdiction of any financial regulatory bureau!

He then stood up abruptly and said disdainfully, "I thought Daoheng Bank had some constructive proposals, but this is all? I have nothing to discuss with you! See you in court!"

After saying that, he ignored the three of them and left in a huff.
