Rebirth of the Hong Kong Millennium Conglomerate

In the study of the Repulse Bay villa, Zhang Zeyang was holding a fountain pen, his fingertips tracing the densely packed business layout sketches on the paper. The pen tip hovered in mid-air, his gaze falling on the words "overseas layout," his brows slightly furrowed. He lightly tapped the table with his fingertips, and the telephone on the table suddenly rang, the crisp ring breaking the tranquility of the study.

He reached for the receiver, and Lin Huimin, the HR Director of Qian Gu Group, spoke from the other end: "Mr. Zhang, are you available now? I have some important news to tell you."

Since joining Qian Gu Group, Lin Huimin has always acted prudently and meticulously, rarely showing such impatience. Zhang Zeyang raised an eyebrow slightly and said in a calm tone, "Speak, what is it?"

"Mr. Zhang, I was having tea with some friends in the industry yesterday and learned that the deputy director of the investment department at HSBC is thinking about changing jobs."

"I had a brief chat with him. He said he wasn't having a good time at HSBC and that he was being suppressed by his boss."

HSBC?

Zhang Zeyang's fingers, which were holding the receiver, paused slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

As the leading financial institution in Hong Kong, HSBC has an incredibly high entry barrier. To be able to sit in the position of Deputy Director of the Investment Department, one must be an extraordinary person!

He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What's their background?"

"I had a deep conversation with him for more than half an hour. He's a very down-to-earth person. He said he's optimistic about the development momentum of our Qian Gu Group." Lin Huimin smiled and added, "However, he also said that although we hit it off, he still wants to meet you in person and talk to you face to face before making a decision. After all, it's such a big decision to change jobs, and he needs to confirm whether your ideas are compatible with his."

That makes sense. Someone who can rise to the position of deputy director at HSBC must have their own reasons and wouldn't easily rely on others.

Zhang Zeyang smiled faintly, a hint of anticipation already forming in his heart. He immediately instructed, "Okay, send his resume over. I'm in Repulse Bay, as soon as possible."

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, I'll be there in about half an hour." Lin Huimin replied readily and hung up the phone.

Putting down the receiver, Zhang Zeyang leaned back in his chair, his fingertips lightly tapping the table. HSBC's investment department was full of top financial talent. Those who could leave were either unappreciated or ambitious. Regardless of the reason, if they could be used well, they would be a great asset to Qiangu Group's financial sector.

He gazed at the shimmering sea outside the window, a vague premonition rising in his heart that this time he might be able to dig up a truly important figure.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the butler, Li Fu, came to the study door and said that Lin Huimin had arrived.

Zhang Zeyang responded and asked the housekeeper to invite her in. Soon after, footsteps were heard outside the study door, accompanied by a soft knock.

"Enter."

The door opened, and Lin Huimin, dressed in a well-tailored business suit, with exquisite makeup and her hair neatly combed, walked quickly to the desk, holding a black folder in her hand. She handed the folder over and said, "Mr. Zhang, this is Mr. Li Bin's resume. I have already verified it, and the information is all true."

"Have a seat." Zhang Zeyang gestured for her to sit on the sofa next to him, took the folder, and slowly opened it.

The photo on the first page of his resume shows a man in a sharp suit, with a handsome face and sharp eyes, exuding the composure and competence unique to financial elites.

Zhang Zeyang's gaze fell on the name column—Li Bin, and then his eyes moved down, as line after line of information came into view, gradually making him look surprised.

Li Bin, 28 years old, is a Hong Kong native Chinese. He graduated from Columbia University in the United States with dual master's degrees in financial engineering and business administration.

After graduation, he joined HSBC directly. With his outstanding talent and accurate judgment, he was promoted to manager of HSBC Securities Kowloon Branch in just one year. During this period, he led several major investments, demonstrating unique insight and never making a mistake.

In just five years, he has risen through the ranks and is now the Deputy Director of the Investment Department at HSBC, managing hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in investment funds.

A 28-year-old deputy director of HSBC's investment department?

Zhang Zeyang's fingers tightened slightly, his eyes fixed on the information on the resume. This name and this resume instantly opened the floodgates of his long-sealed memories.

In his previous life, he had spent time studying the development history of HSBC, especially the key figures who dominated the capital market, and the name Li Bin left a particularly deep impression on him.

He clearly remembered that when he consulted HSBC's internal historical records in his previous life, the accounts of Li Bin were written in great detail.

After the Plaza Accord was signed in 1985, the global financial market was in turmoil, and countless investors suffered heavy losses. However, Li Bin, with his accurate prediction of the international financial situation and ruthless operation, increased his position against the trend and created huge profits of billions of Hong Kong dollars for HSBC, making him a legend in one battle.

After that, Li Bin's career progressed smoothly. In just a few years, he was promoted to General Manager of the Asia Region Investment Management Department of HSBC Securities, with hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars in investment funds under his control. His investment return rate has consistently ranked first in Hong Kong's industry. He has a great reputation in Hong Kong and even in the Asian financial circle and is known in the industry as a "financial genius".

He is widely recognized within HSBC as the next head of its Asian division, with a promising future ahead of him.

Yet, this promising young man suffered an unfortunate fate. At the age of 46, just one step away from becoming the head of HSBC's Asian branch, a sudden car accident claimed his life.

When the news broke, the entire Hong Kong financial world was shaken. Countless people lamented that HSBC had lost a once-in-a-century genius. If Li Bin had not died, HSBC's presence in Asia would have reached a new level.

He is a true elite, a top talent selected from among thousands, and is perfectly suited to serve as the general manager of Qian Gu Bank!

Looking at the young face on the resume, Zhang Zeyang never expected that the other party would take the initiative to come to him in this way.

Unappreciated talent? Suppressed by his superiors? Zhang Zeyang instantly understood the key point. With Li Bin's talent and ability, he was bound to arouse the suspicion of his superiors. HSBC was rife with factions, and the open and covert struggles never stopped. A young man who was too dazzling would inevitably become a target of suppression.

For Zhang Zeyang, such talent was a must-have!

With Li Bin at the helm of Qian Gu Bank, its global expansion strategy has gained more confidence.

Zhang Zeyang took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and his gaze returned to the resume, his eyes becoming incredibly firm.

Without the slightest hesitation, he slammed the folder shut, looked up at Lin Huimin who was sitting quietly to the side, and said in a resolute tone, "There's no need to wait any longer. Contact Mr. Li Bin now and tell him that I'm waiting for him at Qian Gu Group at any time. Tell him to come and meet me as soon as possible."

Lin Huimin was slightly taken aback. She had originally thought that Zhang Zeyang would consider it carefully, but she also knew that Zhang Zeyang's confidence must mean he was absolutely certain. She immediately nodded and replied, "Okay, Mr. Zhang, I'll contact him now and try to get him here as soon as possible."

"Hmm." Zhang Zeyang nodded slightly, a smile playing on his lips.

Lin Huimin got up to say goodbye, walked briskly out of the villa, and immediately dialed Li Bin's number after returning to Qian Gu Group.

After receiving Lin Huimin's message, Li Bin gave a clear reply in a short time, agreeing to meet and setting a specific time.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Huimin did not delay for a moment and immediately called Zhang Zeyang in Repulse Bay to report the details.
