Qin Yi hummed an unknown tune, holding a rolled-up newspaper in his hand, tapping his thigh rhythmically as he walked.
Smiling all the way, Luo Minsheng opened the door to the president's office. Luo Minsheng, who was sitting on a chair watching the news, quickly stood up.
"Good morning, boss."
"Sit, sit, sit." Qin Yi waved his hand, pulled a chair and sat down, glancing at the TV.
"It is reported that HSBC's London headquarters has raised US$2 billion, which will be shipped to Hong Kong Island in the near future as the next phase of funding..."
"...the Hong Kong Monetary Authority announced that it will provide HSBC with a liquidity guarantee of HK$10 billion in low-interest loans, and the first tranche of funds will be received at the end of the month."
"Spurred by the good news, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange will reopen within this week."
"Mr. Hu, professor of economics at XX University and vice president of the Global Financial Research Association, said that he is optimistic about the future economic development of Hong Kong Island... Hong Kong Island is still the financial center of Asia, and this status will not be shaken."
Qin Yi smiled and clapped his hands, "Well said, well said. I am also optimistic about the economic development of Hong Kong Island in the long term. Professor Hu has a great pattern, and his views are consistent with mine."
Luo Minsheng looked at his boss's smiling expression and didn't know how to answer the question for a moment. He could only ask tactfully: "Will the next investment direction be in Hong Kong Island?"
"No." Qin Yi said calmly, "Keep part of it in the US stock market, transfer most of the funds to Southeast Asia and East Asia, and invest one-tenth of the funds into the mainland."
"Mainland?" Luo Minsheng was a little surprised, "over there..."
"Mainly focus on industry, buy more factories, mainly in the textile and electronic industries. If you have the opportunity, you can also hoard a few pieces of land to build your own factory." Qin Yi looked at Luo Minsheng seriously, "Mainland is our future investment focus.
, you have to put in more effort, I will recommend someone to you later and let him be responsible for the affairs in the mainland."
"Oh, okay." Luo Minsheng nodded, "What about Hong Kong Island's next investment direction?"
"No, Hong Kong Island does not retain funds."
"Ah?!" Luo Minsheng was a little confused, "Didn't you say that you are optimistic about the economic development of Hong Kong Island in the long term?"
"Yes, I am very optimistic about it." Qin Yi said solemnly, "But just because I am optimistic about it doesn't mean I have to spend money to invest."
"..." Luo Minsheng felt complicated for a while and hesitated to speak. After thinking about it, he decided to change the topic.
"Xu Jiabao from HSBC told me that the London headquarters will transport US$2 billion to Hong Kong Island on a special plane next week. By then, dozens of TV stations and media will be broadcasting the live broadcast." Luo Minsheng looked at Qin Yi with a complicated expression.
"It was fully escorted by the police and deposited into the HSBC vault in front of the global media. On the day that the two billion US dollars entered the vault, HSBC reopened."
Qin Yi nodded, "It's a big deal. This is to show the strength of HSBC in front of the whole world. After all, confidence is more important than money in this industry."
"But." Luo Minsheng coughed, "This money will not be stored in the HSBC vault for a long time. In a week, the money will be secretly transported back to London on a special plane."
"Oh?!" Qin Yi's eyes lit up and he showed a meaningful smile, "This is interesting."
…
"Brother Hua, this is yours." A senior inspector gathered the money on the money detector and handed it to Lu Guohua, "Click a little."
"No, help me find an envelope to put it in." Lu Guohua took the registration form and wrote his name in the recipient column above, and pressed his fingerprint.
"Brother Hua, take it." The senior inspector quickly stuffed a pile of money into the envelope, sealed it and handed it to Lu Guohua, then looked behind him, "Next!"
The police officer standing aside quickly stepped forward to collect his share of the salary.
Lu Guohua weighed the envelope and smiled to himself, "I never thought it was already the 1990s and I could still see envelopes being used to collect money."
An old policeman next to him joked, "Does it look like the four detectives?"
Chen Jiaju coughed and said, "Uncle Dan, please don't talk nonsense. This is our salary, not black money."
"What are you afraid of? I was just joking." Dadan said with a sneer, "I heard that the Independent Commission Against Corruption is running out of money now, so how can it care about us?"
"That's not the case. I heard that the bank will return to normal starting next month."
"Then I'm thankful to God." Dadan shook his head, "I've been a civil servant all my life and I've never seen anything like this, but this is the first time I've seen a civil servant unable to pay his salary."
Lu Guohua smiled and said nothing, casually put the envelope into his pocket, walked to the side and offered a stick of incense to Mr. Guan.
"Please Lord Guan bless A Lian..."
Thinking of his eldest son who had been away from home for several months, Lu Guohua felt quite confused.
The first half of his life was rough, but the past two years have been quite pleasant.
Not only did he get promoted, but he also made a fortune, his life was worry-free, his career was smooth, and his family was harmonious.
Originally, Lu Guohua was cheerful all day long, but he turned out to be such a rebellious son like Lu Zhilian.
On the one hand, I was angry about my eldest son's rebellion, and on the other hand, I was a little worried about his life outside.
Lu Guohua sighed and just turned around to leave. After walking a few steps, several people gathered around him.
"Brother Hua, this is the money I owed you last month."
"This is my share."
"this is mine."
Lu Guohua waved his hand, "I said there's no need to worry. I've just received my salary and I'm not short of money. Why are you in a hurry to pay back the money? Your wife, Ren, is in the hospital and is waiting for money. It's been a tight two months. Let's talk about it at the end of the year."
A-Ren pursed his lips and said shyly, "Thank you, Brother Hua."
"How is your wife? Is she feeling better?" Lu Guohua asked with concern, "What did the doctor say?"
"It's much better. Dr. Huang from Ren'ai Hospital is very good at medical treatment. I would like to thank A Yi." A Ren said movedly, "If he hadn't helped introduce her, my wife's illness would have been delayed for how long."
"They are all our brothers."
"Brother Hua, my salary just happened to be paid today. Come on, I'll treat you."
"No, no." Lu Guohua waved his hand, "We have an appointment today, let's talk about it another day."
After chatting with a few people for a while, Lu Guohua walked out of the police station and took out his mobile phone, "Hey, Ayi, at 7:30 tonight, don't forget to dress more formally."
…
At the entrance of the Palace Hotel, Lu Guohua, dressed in a suit, looked at Qin Yi speechlessly.
"I asked you to dress more formally, and you just dress like this?" Lu Guohua scolded.
"What's wrong with my outfit?" Qin Yi was a little surprised, "My sportswear is casual, convenient, and very fashionable. Besides, this is the work uniform of our police officers. Isn't it formal enough?"
"Then why did you come on a bicycle?" Lu Guohua said angrily, "Where is your Mercedes-Benz? Why don't you drive it?"
"It's just a meal, there's no need to drive." Qin Yi spread his hands, "It's not convenient to park here. There's a traffic jam on the road. It's convenient to ride a bicycle."
While talking, Qin Yi took out the chain and threaded the wheel and railing together.
"Be careful of someone stealing your car." Lu Guohua snorted helplessly.
"The public security is pretty good now, and there are a lot of police around here. How can any car thief dare to attack here?" Qin Yi said nonchalantly.
"Okay, okay, come in quickly, don't keep the guests waiting." Lu Guohua grabbed Qin Yi's arm and pulled him inside.
"No, Mr. Qi, what is the situation today?" Qin Yi was a little confused.
