Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 372 Familiar Taste

Simon looked at Liang Kun curiously, while the latter said speechlessly:

"You've been staring at me all day, why don't you just ask me whatever you want? Why are you staring at me like that?"

"You're not even a beauty!"

Simon coughed twice, then said awkwardly:

"I have something I want to ask."

Handsome Kun bluntly said:
"I've even shared the little blue pill with you, so what can't I ask?"

"Of course, I won't say what I can't say."

Simon asked seriously:

Is the rumored bank war true?

Liang Kun rolled his eyes hard:
"How bored do you have to be to pay attention to this kind of thing?"

Ximen said solemnly:
“This isn’t just idle talk; it concerns our company.”

Handsome Kun sighed:

"I remember Jardine Matheson also has shares in Standard Chartered, right? You could just call the taipan of Standard Chartered and you'd know everything, wouldn't you?"

Ximen shook his head:
"The police are watching."

Handsome Kun mocked:
"How come I've never heard of you being afraid of the police?"

Simon said matter-of-factly:
“We at Jardine Matheson are certainly not afraid of the police, but we are afraid of the Ugly Country.”

"To be honest, which capitalist country in the world isn't afraid of the Ugly country?"

Handsome Kun sighed:

"If it's inconvenient to contact the Standard Chartered tycoon, you can contact the Duty directly."

"The Governor must have all the information."

Simon shrugged:

"I think I'll just ask you directly."

After wiping his mouth, Liang Kun said:
"The truth is, it's just a rumor."

"The truth is that Citibank wanted to use the police to take down Citibank, but in the end, it dragged all the banks in Hong Kong into it."

"Jimmy, the head of the Citibank, is now living permanently at the police station."

Simon said in astonishment:
"Who are the good people who stay at the police station all the time?"

Liang Kun shrugs:

"So he's not a good person."

Ximen was taken aback:
"Did you get into trouble?"

As he cut his steak, Liang Kun said:

"The case of corruption involving senior executives of Citibank is a collective corruption scandal."

"Citibank's move was truly ruthless."

Ximen frowned and said:
"Why exactly would they send Smith out?"

Handsome Kun replied:
Counterfeit money.

Ximen disagreed:

"It's just counterfeit money, isn't that making a mountain out of a molehill?"

Liang Kun drank a glass of red wine:
"What if these counterfeit bills were made to look almost identical to real ones?"

Simon turned his head and spat out the wine in his mouth:
"Is that still counterfeit money?"

Liang Kun shrugs:

"That's the trouble with it: counterfeit money that can't be identified is actually genuine money."

"The people who make counterfeit money are too professional; it's almost certain they're bank employees."

"And the birthplace of this counterfeit money ring is Hong Kong."

Liang Kun said calmly,
"I've asked professionals, and it's not an easy thing to make truly convincing counterfeit money."

"There are very few countries in the world that have the corresponding technology."

"The technology required to produce counterfeit money that is so realistic is quite advanced."

"In addition to the corresponding technology, special paper and special ink are also required."

“These are all controlled things.”

"So the question is, who can easily obtain these things?"

Ximen frowned and said:
"bank?!"

Leung Kwan shrugged:
"An obvious problem."

"Citibank found a very precise entry point and successfully dealt a heavy blow to Citibank."

"However, it forgot that if this point is brought to light and the case remains unresolved, it could easily hurt itself."

"The Citibank has been investigated. Unfortunately, they have no connection with the counterfeit currency group."

"And then, well, you'll see what bad things happen."

"The entire Hong Kong Bank was implicated."

“Bank of America, Citibank, HSBC, Standard Chartered, and other banks with good relations with the U.S. Bank of America and that have the right to mint coins are all within the scope of the investigation.”

"Even Citibank itself can't escape."

"Of course, HSBC was also implicated."

"However, everyone knows about HSBC's past, which has little to do with the current HSBC."

"This makes HSBC seem more detached."

"As for other rumors, such as that Ado was behind all of this, they are all fake news."

"It was orchestrated by someone with ulterior motives."

Simon asked another question:
"It really wasn't Wang Sheng who planned this?"

Handsome Kun was so angry he laughed:

"Alright, I'll tell you some more secrets."

"This case originated from a banknote that was so realistic it could be mistaken for a real one."

Do you know who first discovered this?

Simon asked in bewilderment:
"Isn't he an expert from Citibank?"

Handsome Kun shook his head:
"No, they are experts from Citibank."

"Because it was a large sum of US dollars, Citibank contacted Citibank."

"But the banknote was so realistic that Citibank's technology couldn't detect it, so Citibank CEO Brown requested that the counterfeit banknote be left at Citibank so that experts could study it."

"Who could have known that Citibank would be handed over to Smith so easily?"

"Well, this is how it all started."

Simon's mouth dropped open:
"Wouldn't Jimmy, the head of Citibank, be furious if he heard this news?"

Liang Kun shrugs:

“He’s practically living at the police station now; he’s probably not going to die of anger.”

Ximen asked:

"After HSBC is ruled out, who would be the suspect?"

Liang Kun shrugs:

"Only two companies have the capability to achieve this level."

"One is Citibank, and the other is Standard Chartered Bank."

Ximen frowned and said:
"Wasn't Citibank the one who filed the report?"

Handsome Kun smiled and said:
"Who can guarantee they aren't the thief crying 'stop thief'?"

Simon nodded silently:

"Makes sense."

"Just based on the fact that Citibank used someone else to do the dirty work, it is more suspicious than Standard Chartered."

Liang Kun nodded slightly:

"Anyway, I heard from Ah Zhong that Commissioner Smith is about to explode with anger."

"The US is really bold, daring to use the US military intelligence agency's Asia director as a weapon."

"The most crucial point is that it's still very easy for someone to expose it."

"In any case, Commissioner Smith was quite annoyed."

Ximen sighed:
"Let alone Commissioner Smith, who wouldn't be furious in his place?"

"So, besides Citibank, Standard Chartered is the suspect."

Liang Kun wiped his mouth, looked around, and whispered:

"Actually, Citibank has been ruled out as a suspect."

"It's just that what they did before was really unethical, so both Smith and Ah Zhong were deliberately trying to embarrass Citibank."

Simon was greatly surprised:
"You mean Standard Chartered is the suspect?"

Liang Kun nodded slightly:

"It's basically confirmed."

“Ah Zhong told me that the suspects have been identified, and many of the senior executives of Standard Chartered Bank are involved in the case.”

"Some people do it unconsciously, while others do it intentionally."

"This is not an isolated case!"

hiss!
Simon gasped.
"Will Standard Chartered Bank's business be affected?"

Handsome Kun shook his head:
"I'm not Commissioner Smith, nor the Financial Secretary, how would I know if Standard Chartered Bank has been implicated?"

"I don't need to contact HSBC."

"but……"

Liang Kun looked at Xi Men with a half-smile.

"If Standard Chartered's business is indeed affected, our business will be delayed."

Simon unconsciously tightened his grip on his knife and fork:
"No, our deal can't be delayed."

Leung Kwan shrugged:

"Then you shouldn't have told me, you should have told Commissioner Smith or the Financial Secretary."

"It's no use telling me."

“Your business isn’t connected to HSBC.”

Ximen stood there, stunned.

Handsome Kun laughed and said:
"I've made this clear to you. Don't spread rumors that Ado designed this again."

"I really wish Ado had that ability; it would make things much easier."

"Thank you for treating me to lunch today. I'll treat you next time."

"By the way, you'd better urge the third-party auditing department. Wellcome Supermarket's valuation has been going on for a long time. The sooner the evaluation is completed, the sooner the transaction will be completed."

Excuse me!

Simon immediately stood up and said:
"I send you."

Leung Kwan gently declined:

"Please wait a moment. It's rare for us to be out for a meal, so let's take a rest."

Liang Kun nodded in acknowledgment and walked away leisurely.

Only Simon was left sitting there, stunned.

Back in the car, Li Jie asked curiously:
"Brother Ding, this looks like something Brother Dao would do."

Liang Kun chuckled:

"No need to guess, it must have been him."

Li Jie asked in bewilderment:
"Didn't you say that Dao-ge didn't do it?"

Liang Kun nodded slightly:

“Ado has no connection with the counterfeit money ring, but he is definitely the one who triggered this storm.”

“I don’t know what method he used, but I’m just sure he did it.”

Li Jie was extremely impressed:

"Brother Dao's methods are truly moving."

Handsome Kun sighed:

"Yes, that way they can get away with it without anyone noticing, and clear themselves of all responsibility."

"Believe it or not, anyone who dares to spread such rumors..."

"Whether it's Commissioner Smith, the Dude, or even the Citibank executives, they will all come out to refute the rumors."

"They would never allow Ado's reputation to be tarnished in the slightest."

"From their perspective, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Adao!"

Li Jie was filled with admiration: "I wish I had that kind of planning ability."

Liang Kun quickly stopped him:

"No, one Ado is enough. I can't handle one more."

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.

Li Jie asked:

"Uncle Ding, where do we go next?"

After thinking for a moment, Liang Kun said:

"No work this afternoon?"

Li Jie laughed:

"There's no work scheduled for you, but if you want to work, I can reschedule your work for tomorrow."

Handsome Kun raised both hands and said:
"No, we rarely have free time, let's go find Adao!"

Li Jie reminded him:
"The big boss doesn't want to see you during work hours."

Liang Kun chuckled:

"Then I'll show off to him even more."

Li Jie was helpless.

So the car changed course and went to Wangdao.

By the way, Liang Kun is not only the person in charge of the Sham Shui Po project, but also the chairman of Jing Sheng Pharmaceuticals. He has his own office and does not share it with Wang Dao.

Wang Dao looked at Liang Kun in surprise:

"Brother Kun, are you taking the day off?"

Looking at the thick stack of documents on Wang Dao's desk, Liang Kun smiled happily.
"How could that be?"

"But I don't have work this afternoon, so I specifically wanted to chat with you!"

Wang Dao pointed to the document and said:

"How about you help me with some?"

Liang Kun put his feet directly on Wang Dao's executive chair:

"That won't do. I finally got half a day off, and I'm determined not to work."

Wang Dao sighed:

"So you're here to show off?"

Handsome Kun grinned slyly:

"That's right, you got it!"

Wang Dao said helplessly:
"Why don't you go and visit your aunt?"

Lam Kwan waved his hand:
"I wouldn't dare go."

Wang Dao was taken aback:
"What do you mean?"

Liang Kun was quite resentful:
"Isn't it all because of you?"

"Four out of ten sentences I say now are about Bozi, three are about Xiao Hei, two are about you, and only one is about me!"

Wang Dao laughed heartily:

"There's nothing you can do about it. Your sister-in-law is favored by your mother, and you can't compete with that."

"Besides, when it comes to spending time with your mother, do you have as much time as Xiao Hei?"

At this point, he was puzzled.
"Why call it Little Black when it's clearly a golden Shiba Inu?"

Handsome Kun said smugly:
Don't you think this is very unique?

Wang Dao nodded:
"Yes, yes, very unique."

Why don't you go find your sister-in-law?

Handsome Kun sighed:

"She's even busier there."

At this point, Liang Kun suddenly asked,
"We are becoming increasingly wealthy, so why are we becoming increasingly busy?"

"Isn't that pitiful?"

Wang Dao replied while reviewing the documents:

"You're making hundreds of thousands every minute now, do you think that's pathetic?"

"Why don't you go back to the gang now and earn a few hundred thousand in ten days? Would that make you happy?"

"Hypocritical!"

Liang Kun was stunned. He had a point.

"Sigh, when will I be able to live a life where I don't have to do anything and can just lie around and collect money?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"It can be done now."

Handsome Kun was overjoyed:

"Really?"

Wang Dao nodded slightly.

"of course."

"Deposit your wealth in the bank and use compound interest to barely outpace inflation, and then you'll have no worries about food and clothing."

"Of course, Hong Kong is developing extremely fast."

"Right now, people with a net worth of over a billion are in the top three on the wealth list, but in ten years, they won't even be in the top 100."

Liang Kun immediately deflated:
"Then I'll go back to work."

"If you finally become one of the wealthiest people, what will you do when you're old if you don't make more money while you're young?"

Wang Dao laughed heartily and said:

"So, you came here to complain because you're just bored."

He seemed to be deep in thought, then asked earnestly.

"Brother Kun, did I assign you too little work?"

Startled, Liang Kun quickly stood up.
"No, no, no! I already have enough work. If you add any more, I won't even have time to rest!"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"Time is like a sponge; you can always squeeze some out."

"Don't be afraid!"

Liang Kun quickly got up to say goodbye:

"I suddenly remembered that something has come up with your sister-in-law, so I'll have to take my leave now."

Wang Dao remained silent:

"Brother Kun, come back and let's discuss this again."

Young Kun waved his hands frantically:

"No need, no need, I already have enough work."

He ignored Wang Dao's attempts to persuade him to stay and took his leave directly.

Wang Dao sighed:

"Why are there so many jobs?"

"There are still too few people!"

However, internal talent development has been exhausted, and it is impossible to find suitable candidates to increase manpower.

It can only be cultivated slowly.

Wang Dao thought for a moment and then instructed Xu Zhengyang:

"Zhengyang, today we will donate another ten million to Guangdong Province and entrust the province's universities to train talents specifically for us."

Xu Zhengyang nodded in agreement.

Wang Dao continued reviewing documents with his head down, while Liang Kun peeked out from outside the door and said:
"Ado, our house is being renovated."

"How about we get together sometime?"

Wang Dao put down his pen and said:

"Please have the master check the auspicious date. If there is a good day, let's get together then."

Young Kun returned and gave an OK sign.
"Okay, I'll take care of this."

"That's perfect, since we usually have dinner together in the evening, and it's always a rush."

"Now the renovation of the new house will be much easier."

"We can get together whenever we want."

Wang Dao nodded slightly.

"That's true, but it's tough on Brother Zhong, as he and his wife don't live in the same building as us."

Liang Kun pouted:
"If you ask me, Ah Zhong should just resign. That way, he can have one more person to help him."

Wang Dao said solemnly:
"No."

"The higher Zhong-ge's position in the government, the better it will be for us."

"If possible, it would be best if he could reach the top in Hong Kong."

Liang Kun nodded slightly.

The Way of the King:

"Brother Kun, why don't you help me with my work?"

Liang Kun asked seriously:

"Ado, do you think you orchestrated this bank war?"

The king's way was silent:
"Don't you already know what happened?"

Lam Kwan nodded:
“I heard it from Ah Zhong, but I still feel like you’re the one who orchestrated this.”

Wang Dao chuckled and said:

"As expected, Brother Kun understands me best."

Liang Kun's mouth dropped open:
"Did you really do that?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"Yes!"

Liang Kun asked, puzzled:
"How did you do that?"

Wang Dao calmly said:
"It's actually very simple. I know about this counterfeit money ring, and I also know about the shady dealings of Citibank and Citibank."

"You know I poached Chen Taotao from Citibank, right?"

Lam Kwan nodded:
"I know, this kid is capable, he's a great general."

Wang Dao chuckled and said:

"If even someone like Chen Wanxian trusts Wanguo Baotong Bank so much, I know this bank isn't clean!"

Liang Kun was taken aback:
"Unclean?"

Wang Dao nodded slowly.

"That's right, it's unclean!"

"That is, collective corruption."

Handsome Kun frowned and said:
"That's a big bank with US ties."

Wang Dao scoffed at this:

"Whether it's HSBC or Fog Capital, Shen Daban still has a say in Mrs. Theresa May."

"So what?"
