Hong Kong Tycoon: Starting from Delivering Dongfeng Express

Chapter 180 Radar Dart: Even for 1 million, I wouldn't betray Ye Sheng!
The voice on the other end of the phone stunned Ye Dongsheng.

It wasn't because Radar Dart's attitude changed so quickly, but because he had just heard on the phone that Fatty had won another 2000 million! 2000 million Canadian dollars!
此时的港币是绑定的美元汇率，固定的1美元兑换7.8港币。而加币虽然没美元值钱，但目前汇率也是1美元兑1.39加币，也就是说1加币大概等于5.61港币。

20 million Canadian dollars, which translates to over 100 million Hong Kong dollars, reaching an astonishing 1.12 million Hong Kong dollars!
Furthermore, if Ye Dongsheng remembered correctly, Canada is one of the few countries in the world that does not tax lotteries. Other countries, like the United States, levy taxes of 20%-37%, but lottery winnings in Canada are completely tax-free! Even for foreigners!

In other words, the Radar Dart family will be able to bring the entire HK$1.12 million back to Hong Kong Island!
She won HK$20 million before, and this time she won a prize of over HK$100 million overseas. Even Ye Dongsheng had to sigh that Fei Jie's luck was truly extraordinary!
If the story were to follow some of the typical tropes found in Hong Kong movies, the kind-hearted person who sent Radar Biao's family on a trip to Canada would likely ask Radar Biao for a share of the large sum of money.

After all, without him sending the radar dart to Canada, how could their family have been so lucky as to win such a large sum of money?

The soft-hearted Radar Dart family might agree to this request and give Ye Dongsheng ten or twenty million...

In fact, Radar Dart had this thought in mind, wondering how much he should give away if Mr. Ye brought it up later.
1000? 2000?
He then shook his head. Ye Dongsheng had just offered him 500 million, which was a quarter of the 2000 million compensation. Lei Dabiao couldn't be stingy...

Radar Dart gritted his teeth and set the price at 3000 million! That should be about right!

That's just how Lei Da Biao is. When he was broke, he was thinking of getting some money from Ye Dongsheng, but now that he has money, he won't turn his back on people and will remember their kindness.

After calming down, Radar Dart laughed heartily, "Mr. Ye, we've won the lottery again! This time, we really want to thank you for sending us to Canada for a trip. I'd like to share some of the prize money with you..."

Before Lei Da could finish speaking, Ye Dongsheng interrupted him:

"Old Lei, what kind of person do you take me for!"
Sending you to Canada was my way of thanking you for testifying for me in court. As for your family winning the lottery, that's your own luck and has nothing to do with me! I have no intention of taking that money!

Then Ye Dongsheng said, "Old Lei, I have a suggestion for you. You're in Vancouver now, a place where you don't know anyone. If you suddenly become rich, don't make a fuss about it. Don't tell anyone. Safety first!"

You have two options. First, go to a reputable local law firm as soon as possible and find a reliable lawyer. I remember that the Canadian lottery is tax-free. Have a lawyer accompany you to withdraw the money, then handle the tax-free procedures. After that, contact HSBC or Standard Chartered Bank, both of which have overseas operations. You can deposit the money into these two banks, avoiding the hassle of cross-border and cross-bank transfers.

The second option is for you to remain calm and I can help you contact HSBC in Hong Kong Island and have them connect you with HSBC's overseas business to provide door-to-door service!

When the time comes, you'll be accompanied by bank staff to collect your bonus and deposit it in the bank. They'll bring along the bank's lawyers to handle all the necessary services, including tax exemption, so you don't need to worry about a thing.

Hearing the advice over the phone, Lei Dabiao was deeply moved. Ye Dongsheng not only didn't want a penny from him, but also thought of him, gave feasible suggestions, and offered to help him contact HSBC.

He even tried to take advantage of Ye Dongsheng and get a share of the money from him. He was utterly despicable!
Radar Dart sincerely said, "Mr. Ye, I am truly grateful to you and want to repay you!"

"Hehe, a gentleman loves money, but he acquires it in a proper way. I already took advantage of you by buying your 50 million yuan in savings for 2000 yuan. So, as you said, I won't give you the 500 million yuan you just mentioned, but don't bring up the matter of splitting the bonus again!"
Don't overthink it. We can talk about it when you get back. The most important thing right now is to deal with the lottery money!

Radar Dart nodded: "Okay, then please help me contact the people at HSBC in Hong Kong, Mr. Ye. Thank you so much!"

After hanging up the phone, Radar Dart sighed inwardly. In this day and age, a good person like Ye Sheng is one in a million. It's amazing that his family was lucky enough to have met him!
Moreover, after meeting Ye Dongsheng, they not only received a lot of help, but they also owe him a debt of gratitude for winning the lottery. Ye Sheng is truly a benefactor to the Lei family!
Radar Dart snapped out of his daze, looked at his wife and daughters celebrating together, walked over, hugged Fatty and kissed her: "Wife, you're amazing!"

Fatty raised her chin proudly and then said, "Oh, right, honey, there are still people outside!"

Not far from the door, Bank Manager Ma and Attorney Han were discussing something:

"Bank manager, do you think he might call Ye Dongsheng?"

President Ma laughed and said, "Even if he made the call, do you think Ye Dongsheng would be willing to give him 1000 million?"

Now that Radar Dart has wavered, it means we've entered the bidding phase. As long as his bid isn't higher than ours, there's nothing to worry about!

Just as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, revealing Radar Dart.

President Ma and Attorney Han walked up together, smiling, and said, "Brother Lei, we have just helped you apply for higher compensation from the chairman!"

To everyone's surprise, Radar Dart showed no excitement whatsoever. Instead, he coldly said to him, "President Ma, I'm sorry, I don't want to discuss this matter any further. Please leave!"

Seeing the sudden change in Lei Dabiao's attitude, President Ma's expression changed. Realizing what had happened, he immediately said, "Brother Lei, did Ye Dongsheng offer you a price? Our Daoheng Bank can offer even more, 1500 million!"

He's now disregarding the previously agreed-upon strategy of initially asking for 1200 million, and has directly increased the price by 500 million!
But Radar Dart, with an air of righteous indignation, rebuked:
“Throughout my life, I, Radar Dart, have always adhered to the principles of integrity and trustworthiness. And now you want to bribe me with money? Dream on! This is an insult to my character!”

Seeing that Lei Dabiao was about to close the door, Bank Manager Ma quickly stuck out his foot to block the door: "Brother Lei, 1800 million!"

Even if you raise the price to 1 million, I will never betray Mr. Ye! I will never betray my own conscience!

After saying that, Radar Darts slammed the door shut with a loud bang.

Hmph, he doesn't know if Daoheng Bank is willing to give him 1 million, but his family is really going to have 1 million now!
Bank Manager Ma was dumbfounded: "How...how could this be?"

Attorney Han concluded, "Bank manager, Ye Dongsheng must have promised him some kind of condition to cause such a drastic change in him!"

"Would Ye Dongsheng really offer a higher price than us? If he gives so much to Radar Darts, how much is left for himself? What's in it for him!"

President Ma simply couldn't understand it. He didn't believe it and continued knocking on the door, shouting, "Brother Lei, don't believe Ye Dongsheng's words! We can sign a contract with you right now! 2000 million!"

However, no matter how he shouted, Radar Dart ignored him.

Soon, the security guard downstairs came up and said in English, "Gentlemen, please do not disturb the other guests, or we will have to kick you out of the hotel!"

...There are many banks in Hong Kong, but when it comes to the strongest, there is no doubt that it is HSBC.

In Hong Kong, no matter what happens to any other bank, HSBC is unlikely to have a problem.

Under Sir Michael Sandberg's leadership, HSBC's influence has grown steadily over the years, almost reaching its peak. Many people even believe that Sandberg's influence has surpassed that of the Governor of Hong Kong.

Meanwhile, Mr. Shen was sitting opposite Ye Dongsheng in his office, sipping tea and chatting.

Sir Michael Sandberg said with a smile, "Mr. Yip, right now the media and the public in Hong Kong are singing your praises!"

Ye Dongsheng smiled faintly: "What I did is nothing compared to what Shen Daban did. When it comes to the influence and development of Hong Kong's finance, no one can compare to Shen Daban."

"Not at all, I was just doing my job. As a customer, Mr. Yip, you have made progress in the Hong Kong banking industry. As a member of the Hong Kong financial industry, I have the utmost respect for you!"

Then, Sir Michael Sandberg added, "And I also want to thank Mr. Yip for introducing another major client to HSBC."

Ye Dongsheng has already called Shen Bi to discuss the radar dart incident.

Given Sir Michael Sandberg's current status, most clients wouldn't even have the right to contact him. But Ye Dongsheng is different. His deposits have been increasing over the past few months, and now he's depositing over 30 million into HSBC every month!
While outsiders may still speculate on Dongfeng Express's earning power, Shen Bi's observation of Dongfeng Express's deposit growth over the past few months clearly demonstrates just how strong its profitability is. The media's claim of earning millions a day is not only accurate but also an understatement!

This is something Shen Bi should take seriously, because this isn't a one-off deal made in the financial market, but a legitimate business! A steady stream of income in the future!
Even the shipping magnates Bao and Li Huanggua back then didn't rise to power as quickly as Ye Dongsheng!

Shen Bi was not only a first-rate bank management expert, but also had an exceptional eye for timing and talent. Both Li Huanggua and Bao Shuping received his help, which enabled them to complete important career transformations.

Now, he felt that Ye Dongsheng might be able to create a business empire in the future that was no less than that of Bao Chuanwang and Li Huanggua. Therefore, he has now listed Ye Dongsheng as one of HSBC's most important clients, and can directly contact him for any business!

So after Ye Dongsheng told him about the radar dart, Shen Bi had no doubts and immediately sent people to Vancouver to provide on-site service.

With HK$1.12 million in hand, Radar Darts is a major client anywhere. And while HSBC manages enormous wealth, it also spends a considerable amount.

For example, last year he spent HK$5 billion to build the HSBC headquarters building and US$31 billion to acquire a 51% stake in OceanMillon Bank, the 12th largest bank in the United States. The people he sent to serve Radar Dart were from this bank.

Therefore, Sir Michael Sandberg was quite pleased with Radardart's 1.12 million in cash. Of course, Radardart was at most a third-tier institution within HSBC, its importance far less than that of Ye Dongsheng!
Ye Dongsheng gladly accepted Shen Bi's thanks.

The radar dart incident wasn't a big deal for either of them. Ye Dongsheng took a sip of tea, put down his cup, and said:
"Mr. Shen, the reason I've arranged this meeting is actually to discuss the deposit issue with Dongfeng Express."

Shen Bi's expression turned serious, and he straightened his posture slightly: "Mr. Ye, please speak!"

“Currently, Dongfeng Express visits your bank every ten days, depositing over ten million each time, with a monthly deposit of no less than thirty million, and this figure will not be lower than that in the future. I think with Dongfeng Express's deposit volume, it should be enough to warrant your bank's attention, right?”

Sir Michael Sandberg nodded solemnly: "Of course, Mr. Ye, Dongfeng Express is definitely one of HSBC's most valued clients, otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here having tea with you today."

"In that case, I wonder if your bank could provide some corresponding services for Dongfeng Express, such as scheduled escort services."

Strictly speaking, banks are generally only responsible for customers when they make deposits or withdrawals. They are not responsible for anything that happens on your way to deposit money or on your way back from withdrawing money; you bear the risk yourself.

However, when it comes to large clients like Dongfeng Express, it's natural that more thoughtful services and requests can be made, such as banks offering door-to-door cash collection!

This is equivalent to transferring the risk of cash transport to the bank, without requiring the customer to bear the responsibility.

Shen Bi nodded with a smile and said:
"Mr. Ye, this is easy to handle. HSBC prioritizes customer needs and will naturally meet Dongfeng Express's requirements! May I ask what frequency Dongfeng Express requires for cash transport?"

Ye Dongsheng countered, "How many days do you think would be appropriate?"

Shen Bi thought for a moment and said, "How about once every five days?"

It happens once every 5 days, and each time it should be transporting 5-6 million. Even if it increases later, it will not exceed 10 million in the short term, which is enough.

Ye Dongsheng nodded: "Okay."

Shen Bi then said, "After that, please have Mr. Ye and our bank sign an agreement. In the next few days, we will provide Dongfeng Express with an escort team and inventory personnel."

Each time the cash is counted at the store, both parties sign the receipt, and then our armored truck escorts it to the bank.

Seven days later, our bank officially began providing escort services for Dongfeng Express!

Ye Dongsheng extended his hand and said with a smile, "Then thank you very much, Ms. Shen!"

Shen Bi shook Ye Dongsheng's hand: "It's only right. If Mr. Ye needs any help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me. HSBC is very willing to forge a deeper friendship with you!"

If Ye Dongsheng remains focused on the cross-border express delivery sector, then his help will be unnecessary, and HSBC will not suffer any losses.

However, if Ye Dongsheng wants to develop in other fields, it shows that he is a man who is not satisfied with the status quo and has a pioneering and enterprising spirit.

For a capable and ambitious young man, Sim Bi would not mind providing some assistance in his expansion process. Perhaps he is the next shipping magnate and Li Huanggua!
