Spy Wars: Get the Predator equipment at the beginning

After returning to the villa, Zhang Yunhe wrote several invitations and sent them to the heads of several major families.

At that time, there were already several major families in Hong Kong Island. Some of these families held public office in the government, some were stirring up trouble in the business world, and some were barristers in the legal profession.

That evening, Zhang Yunhe hosted a banquet at the Hong Kong Island Hotel to entertain the leaders of several major families who were invited.

The people who were in charge of these big families were no strangers to Zhang Yunhe. Just because he had more than 10,000 guns in his hands, no one dared to look down on him. When he invited people to dinner, no one dared to refuse his respect.

"Haha, Councillor Zhou, welcome, welcome, I'm Zhang Yunhe!" Zhang Yunhe stood at the door of the hotel and greeted Zhou Xiaofeng, the head of the Zhou family.

As a member of the Legislative Council, Zhou Xiaofeng often dealt with people from the Governor's Office and was quite familiar with Zhang Yunhe's affairs. He not only worked in the Legislative Council, but also started several companies.

He also has a cousin who is also a government official and holds many positions at the same time.

"Commander Zhang, nice to meet you. I wanted to visit you twice, but Commander Zhang was not at home," Zhou Xiaofeng said to Zhang Yunhe with a bow.

Zhang Yunhe smiled and said, "I heard from the people below that they have been running back and forth between Jiangzhou and Shanghai recently. They are really too busy. Councillor Zhou, please go in first. We can have a good chat later!"

"it is good!"

Zhang Yunhe then welcomed the leaders of the Li, He, Luo, Lin, and Li families into the hotel one by one at the hotel entrance.

The Li family was the largest tobacco merchant here. In the early days, they almost monopolized the tobacco business in the entire Hong Kong Island. However, their monopoly was broken only later when foreigners dumped tobacco here.

The He family cooperates closely with the Zhou family, and the Zhou family has great influence in the political and financial circles.

The Luo family's connections are mainly in the judicial, political and business circles. Some family members are barristers, some are civil servants, and some are company owners.

As for the Lin family and the Li family, they are mainly active in the business world and are engaged in many businesses, doing whatever makes money.

Zhang Yunhe saw that all the invited people had arrived, and immediately ordered his attendants: "Let them serve the food."

"Yes, boss!"

While the hotel restaurant waiters were serving the dishes, Zhang Yunhe smiled and said to the leaders of several major families, "I have settled in Hong Kong Island for quite some time. I have heard of you all, you are the leading figures here, and I have always wanted to visit you. However, I have been busy with worldly affairs and have been running back and forth between Shanghai and Jiangzhou. This time, I finally have some time to rest here for a few days, so I am so bold as to invite you all to dinner and get to know each other. I hope you don't mind."

Zhou Xiaofeng quickly said, "Commander Zhang, you're too polite. We've wanted to meet Commander Zhang for a long time, but we never had the chance. I didn't expect that Commander Zhang would invite us to dinner first. We're really ashamed."

Then the leaders of several other major families spoke politely to each other. It can be said that Zhang Yunhe is currently the most powerful one among them except for the foreigners. They may not be able to curry favor with the high and mighty foreign masters, but Zhang Yunhe is one of their own. If they don't seize the opportunity to curry favor with him, when will they wait?

For a moment, the atmosphere at the table was very pleasant and good.

When the food and drinks were served, Zhang Yunhe was the first to pick up his glass and stand up and say, "Everyone, to celebrate our mutual acquaintance and friendship, I propose that we clink our glasses together."

"Good!" The leaders of several major families picked up their wine glasses, clinked them together, and then drank them all in one gulp.

"Come on, come on, eat some food, let's talk while we eat!"

Zhang Yunhe invited everyone to eat and drink.

"Speaking of the war in Europe, I've been there and seen it. It was a real mess. In that tiny area of ​​western Europe, both sides deployed millions of men. Trenches were crisscrossed, denser than ditches in fields. Planes were constantly flying over the battlefield, fighting each other. Artillery shells from both sides rained down, and the bodies of the dead every day could have piled up into a mountain."

"Some were too late to bury, so they had to be thrown into bomb craters and buried randomly. The brutality of the war was no less than here."

The Luo family leader couldn't help but ask, "Has Commander Zhang ever been to the European battlefield to see the battle?"

Zhang Yunhe nodded. "I've been there, and I also watched them fight from behind. Last year, I went there to sell arms. I found the logistics quartermaster of the British First Army in the French battlefield and sold ammunition and military supplies. I also saw German fighter planes raiding the enemy. The two sides fought over the English Channel, and the shot down fighter planes fell into the sea like dumplings. The scene... was so fucking spectacular."

Although the leaders of these big families are all people with rich life experience, none of them has ever been to the battlefield in person to see the fighting scenes on the battlefield. They all listened with great interest to Zhang Yunhe's vivid narration.

The meal lasted over an hour. Near the end, Zhang Yunhe asked, "Everyone, what do you think about opening a bank? Councillor Zhou, does anyone in your family work in finance?"

When Zhou Xiaofeng saw Zhang Yunhe asking him, he said, "Yes, my Zhou family has shares in two small banks. However, it is not easy to open a bank in Hong Kong Island now. If you only open a bank, it is not a problem. You can only operate a limited number of businesses. But it is not easy to get a license to open a bank. The foreign devils are very strict in this regard."

Several other family leaders nodded when they heard this.

Zhang Yunhe lit a cigarette and said with a smile, "If I can solve the problem of opening a bank license, I wonder if you are interested in investing? Instead of recruiting those foreigners, why not let our compatriots invest? After all, we are all descendants of Yan and Huang, and the wealth should not be wasted on outsiders!"

The leaders of several major families were all shocked when they heard this. Zhou Xiaofeng asked, "Can Commander Zhang really get a license?"

Under the gaze of the others, Zhang Yunhe nodded and said, "That's right! I can get the license. In fact, I invited you all to dinner today for this very reason. Are you interested in joining us?"

After hearing what Zhang Yunhe said, people from several major families were quite interested. Everyone knew that opening a bank to make money was almost a sure win business, but the foreigners firmly controlled the power to issue licenses and print money. You can open a bank, but without the permission of the foreigners you can only conduct limited business.

Zhou Xiaofeng immediately said, "Of course I'm interested, but I'm wondering how much Commander Zhang plans to invest and what the terms of the investment are."

Zhang Yunhe said: "I plan to invest 500 million pounds and raise another 500 million to make a total of 1000 million pounds!"

Everyone gasped at the news. 1000 million pounds? Even though these major families were wealthy, a million pounds was still a huge sum of money for them. Among these major families, only Zhou Xiaofeng's family had a fortune exceeding 100 million pounds. Remember, Lord Sheng, the richest man in the Qing Dynasty, had a fortune worth only 1600 million taels of silver.
