Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

135 Castle Peak Road, Tsuen Wan.

Far East Bank Building.

In the early days, Far East Bank was only a small bank in Tsuen Wan. With the increase of business, the scale gradually expanded and eventually became a Chinese-funded bank.

When the banking crisis broke out in Hong Kong in the 1960s, Far East Bank was one of the banks that suffered a large number of withdrawals, and was the only bank in the Hong Kong banking industry that did not meet the statutory clearance ratio requirements of the Banking Ordinance.

On March 25, the Aberdeen branch of Far East Bank was run on. At the same time, HSBC Hong Kong announced its unconditional support for Far East Bank, which enabled Far East Bank to tide over the difficulties.

At about ten o'clock, Shi Zhijian brought Hu Juncai to the Far East Building.

The Far East Building has a total of 15 floors and is spectacular. It was a landmark building in Hong Kong in this era.

Compared with this building, the building where Shi Zhijian's company is located is a little brother.

Take the elevator to the eighth floor of the building, where the headquarters of Far East Bank is also located.

Like many big companies, Hong Kong people in this era like to set up a front desk, and then hire a front desk lady to act as the front desk.

The lady at the front desk is a fashionable girl with wavy hair and the smell of French perfume all over her body, which made Hu Juncai, who was following Shi Zhijian, sniff hard.

The fashionable girl asked Shi Zhijian what could be of help, and Shi Zhijian said he wanted to see Mr. Qiu Dewang.

The fashionable girl took out the record book and asked Shi Zhijian if he had an appointment with Mr. Qiu. Shi Zhijian said no.

This time, Hu Jun just learned to be smart. He took the lead and took out 50 yuan, pressed it under the business card and handed it over. He grinned and said to the fashionable girl, "Excuse me, please be accommodating."

The fashionable girl frowned and took the business card and fifty dollars.

At this time, Shi Zhijian said, "Tell Mr. Qiu that the person who has a good relationship is here!"

The fashionable girl gave Shi Zhijian a surprised look, and said, "Wait a minute!" She turned around, twisted her hips, and walked away with a fragrance.

Hu Juncai hurriedly asked Shi Zhijian, "What does it mean to have a good relationship?"

"Meaning, you don't have to pay the extra fifty dollars!"

"Huh?" Hu Juncai was still in a daze.

The fashionable girl has come over again, this time with a very kind smile on her face, "Mr. Qiu is waiting for you in the office, please come in!"

Shi Zhijian said, "Thank you!"

Hu Juncai followed Shi Zhijian behind Shi Zhijian's buttocks with his briefcase in his arms.

The fashionable girl waved her small hand towards him with a smile on her face.

"Fuck you, you're stupid! Lost fifty dollars for nothing!" Hu Juncai was good at knocking his head hard, and he was full of regrets.

……

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Shi Zhijian?"

When Shi Zhijian came to the door of the president's office, a beautiful woman walking on a pair of high-heeled shoes happened to come out of the room with a document in her hand.

"Yes, I am!" Shi Zhijian nodded politely at the other party.

"Hello, I'm Qiu Jiawen, Mr. Qiu's female secretary."

The beauty took the initiative to extend her hand.

Shi Zhijian shook hands with her.

Hu Juncai only felt that the beautiful woman in front of her had picturesque brows, beautiful nose and cherry lips, and her hair was like a flower. She was ten times more beautiful than the fashionable girl at the front desk. The most important thing was that she was very temperamental. The secretary is a princess.

When Hu Juncai saw that Qiu Jiawen took the initiative to shake hands with Shi Zhijian, he immediately wiped his hand on his clothes and hurriedly stretched out his hand, wanting to shake hands with Qiu Jiawen.

Qiu Jiawen didn't even look at him, and said to Shi Zhijian, "Wait a minute!" She turned around neatly, and went to the front desk to instruct the fashionable girl, "Postpone Mr. Qiu's ten o'clock trip by an hour, if anyone asks, Said that Mr. Qiu has important guests to meet."

"Understood, Miss Qiu!" The fashionable girl was very respectful to Qiu Jiawen.

Qiu Jiawen walked back on her high heels again, nodded to Shi Zhijian, and then she reached out and slammed the door lightly three times.

"Come in!" Qiu Dewang's voice sounded inside.

Qiu Jiawen pushed open the door of the president's office, which led Shi Zhijian and Hu Juncai to enter.

……

The office is spacious and bright, simple and elegant.

On the left is a large mahogany bookshelf, and on the right is a relatively high-end record player of this era.

There is also a majestic calligraphy work hanging on the wall at the head, which reads: Great virtue and wealth.

When Qiu Jiawen led Shi Zhijian in, Qiu Dewang was burying his head in signing a document. When he looked up and saw Shi Zhijian, he pointed at the sofa with a smile: "Someone who is destined, please take a seat!"

Then he instructed Qiu Jiawen: "Secretary Qiu, please help us prepare three cups of coffee." Suddenly, as if remembering something, he turned his head and asked Shi Zhijian, "Do you prefer coffee or tea?"

"It's fine." Shi Zhijian said, he found the opposite sofa and sat down.

Hu Juncai also imitated his appearance and sat down on the sofa, but he didn't dare to sit firmly, and habitually sat half-pulling his butt.

"Mr. Qiu, I came here today mainly to thank you for the glass of wine you poured for me yesterday."

When he said this, Shi Zhijian's expression was light and cloudy, and his face seemed to be really thanking Qiu Dewang for his actions last night.

Qiu Dewang also listened with a smile, but both of them knew that thanking him for pouring wine was just an excuse. Since Shi Zhijian came over, he must have something to discuss.

Qiu Dewang closed the signed documents in his hand, put the pen on the cap again, then looked up at Shi Zhijian, smiled and said, "It's just a glass of wine, Mr. Shi is so young and promising, don't think too much! Besides, I had a drink last night. As I said, I just used this to form a good relationship with you, but I didn't expect to meet so soon."

"Mr. Qiu, you're welcome, just call me Ah Jian!"

"Ajian? Haha, that's a very kind address!" Qiu Dewang seemed very satisfied with Shi Zhijian, his face was always smiling, "But I don't know why Ajian came to me today?"

Before Qiu Dewang could finish speaking, Shi Zhijian stood up: "To be honest, Mr. Qiu, I came here today to ask for something!"

Just as Qiu Dewang was about to ask, Qiu Jiawen happened to walk in with three cups of coffee.

Shi Zhijian politely smiled at Qiu Jiawen and expressed his gratitude.

Qiu Jiawen glanced at him and responded with a bright smile.

"Mr. Shi, please drink coffee." Qiu Jiawen put a cup of coffee on the coffee table in front of Shi Zhijian.

"Thank you, Miss Qiu." After Shi Zhijian expressed his gratitude, he continued to look at Qiu Dewang: "Mr. Qiu, you must have already known what happened last night. I was confused and caused such a big trouble when I was drunk!"

"Now I hate Mr. Shao, not to mention, I also offended Mr. Bai Ligao, the senior consultant of the Water Supplies Department! The most important thing is to attract media public opinion to criticize Shek Kip Mei constantly, and the above is even more anxious about this matter!"

"Oh?" Qiu Dewang glanced at Qiu Jiawen who was standing by the side after making the coffee, and then said to Shi Zhijian, "I've heard everything you mentioned just now~www.wuxiamtl.com~ But you talk so much..."

"I'm here to ask you for help!" Shi Zhijian said, "I originally wanted to apologize in person and ask everyone to forgive my recklessness, but... I know that everyone will not accept it when they are angry! So I beg Mr. Qiu to act as a middleman to help me. Talk and talk and talk!"

"Let me be the middleman?" Qiu Dewang gave Shi Zhijian a meaningful look, "But I don't know how to do it all? How can I convince those big bosses who are angry?"

Shi Zhijian said in a sincere tone: "I will make up for what I have done and pay for the land in Shek Kip Mei! Then I will build a factory there, and help the residents there to solve the problem of draft water!"

"Pfft!" But it was Qiu Jiawen who couldn't help laughing beside her.

Qiu Dewang glanced at Qiu Jiawen.

Qiu Jiawen hurriedly bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm rude!"

Shi Zhijian didn't care about being interrupted in his passionate speech, "Shek Kip Mei is very poor, and if you want to develop it, you have to pay for it. Now I will! Shek Kip Mei has a lot of surplus labor. Open a factory to recruit them and let them have something to do! It is forbidden for private construction of water towers to supply water without permission. I am engaged in industrial development and follow the trend, and others have nothing to say!"

"All of this, I am atonement! I also ask Mr. Qiu to help!" Shi Zhijian bowed deeply to Qiu Dewang after finishing speaking.

Qiu Dewang smiled, got up and walked to Shi Zhijian's side, patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Not bad! It's really good! I almost believed what you said!"
