Spy Wars: Get the Predator equipment at the beginning

"1000 million pounds? This is too much, right?" Zhou Xiaofeng said with some stuttering.

Lin Zhenyan, the head of the Lin family, also said, "Yes, Commander Zhang, our family is a shareholder of the Hang Seng Bank, and my cousin is the chairman. I am quite familiar with the situation of the Hang Seng Bank and other banks. Currently, apart from the three major note-issuing banks in Hong Kong Island, the total assets of other banks and banks do not exceed 1000 million pounds!"

"Is it necessary to invest so much at the beginning? I think business should be done steadily and steadily. Besides, banks will not be able to lend money if they have too much capital at the beginning."

Zhang Yunhe smiled and shook his head, saying, "Once this bank opens, will the foreigners let us develop freely? The three major banks will definitely regard us as a thorn in their side. If we want to avoid being destroyed, we must have strong financial support!"

"If you want to invest, I welcome you. We'll distribute the shares according to your investment ratio. If you don't want to, I won't force you. I'll make up the difference myself!"

The people from the major families looked at each other, and the Luo family leader said, "Commander Zhang, this is no small matter. Can you give us a few days to think about it?"

"Of course you can. After all, it requires a huge investment, which is not a trivial matter. We should think about it carefully. However, I plan to start registering with the relevant institutions next Tuesday and go through the relevant procedures to get the bank license and banknote issuance qualification first, so there is not much time left for you!" Zhang Yunhe said.

"I understand, I understand. Let's have a drink together!" Zhou Xiaofeng said quickly, raising his glass.

After the banquet, Zhang Yunhe returned to his villa. Liu Huilan was still awake. She came over to take off his coat and asked, "How was the talk?"

Zhang Yunhe said, "I think they do have the intention to invest, but they may not be able to come up with much money. After all, 500 million pounds is not a small amount. This is not 500 million French francs. It would be difficult for them to raise 500 million pounds. I guess it would be great if they can raise 100 million pounds together!"

Liu Huilan paused, "What should we do then? Who can we find to raise the remaining 400 million?"

Zhang Yunhe said, "We'll see when the time comes. If we can't collect enough, I'll have to take out the rest myself!"

"Do we have that much money?" Liu Huilan asked.

Zhang Yunhe smiled and said, "No, but I can borrow it from a foreigner. I can borrow it first and return it after a while. It's nothing more than paying some interest!"

There was definitely money, but Zhang Yunhe didn't intend to let his wife know. There was no way to explain the source of the money in the backpack. After all, there was too much of it. Even if he was the largest comprador of a foreign company in the country, it was impossible for him to be that rich.

Liu Huilan was confused: "Since we don't have that much money, why did we set up such a big stall from the beginning?"

Zhang Yunhe explained, "You don't understand. Opening a bank is different from opening any other company. To open a bank, you need strong capital. Only then will citizens trust us and feel comfortable depositing their money in our bank!"

"Besides, opening a bank requires a deposit to the financial regulatory authorities. The amount of deposit you pay determines the extent of your banknote issuance rights!"

"We want to establish an impression of our vast financial resources and strong capabilities among the citizens of Hong Kong Island, and build a good reputation!"

Liu Huilan asked, "If the bank is opened, will you run it yourself or hire someone else to do it?"

"I may not have much time to run the business before the war is over, but I will control the general direction of development. The specific operations still need to be handled by professional managers! The Ho family has shares in Hang Seng Bank, but Hang Seng Bank is actually controlled by the Lin family. The Ho family is suppressed by Hang Seng Bank, so I plan to invite Mr. Ho to serve as the bank's general manager."

In addition, Zhang Yunhe also planned to recruit some financial and banking talents from the financial circles of the Shanghai Concession to take up positions. The reason why he wanted to find He Shandang to be the general manager was mainly because he was a local and had more connections in the financial circles here, which made it easier to carry out his work.

But Zhang Yunhe would not hand over all the power of the bank to He Shan. He would find a few people to assist and form a constraint.

After the banquet, people from several major families did not go home separately, but came to the Li family villa together.

In the study on the second floor of the Li family villa, the leaders of these major families each found a place to sit down, some smoked, and some continued to drink.

The Luo family leader spoke first, "What do you think about this? Can Zhang Yunhe really get a license and the right to issue banknotes? You know, the foreigners are very wary of us. How could they possibly let us get a license and the right to issue banknotes?"

Lin Zhenyan, the head of the Lin family, took a puff of his cigar and said, "I think Commander Zhang should be able to get a license and the right to issue banknotes. Think about it, he's now the commander of the armed merchant corps, with over 10,000 men and guns under his command, more than a reorganized division of the Nationalist government. The foreigners will have to give him some face!"

"Besides, he's established a steel company, a metal smelting company, and an arms production company in just six months. They're all now profitable. I heard he's starting an ocean-going shipping company and is placing orders with shipbuilding companies all over the world. He employs over 200,000 to 300,000 people!"

"If so many people lose their jobs and start a riot, do you think those foreigners will get away with it?"

"Zhang Yunhe has too much money. I guess he doesn't feel comfortable leaving it in a foreign bank, so he wants to open his own. Given his current strength and the current international situation, the foreigners probably wouldn't dare to offend him too much. If he wants to open a bank, the foreigners should agree to give him a license and the right to issue banknotes."

"So, Lin Caidong is very optimistic about him opening a bank? Is he planning to invest in it?" asked the leader of the Luo family.

Lin Zhenyan took two puffs of his cigar and said under the gaze of the other leaders, "Yes, I plan to invest a share. I can't afford much right now. I can only raise 10 pounds at most."

The Li family boss said, "Lao Lin, you're richer than me. You can even come up with 10 pounds. I can't even come up with 10 pounds right now!"

The leader of the Li family looked at the others and asked, "How about you guys? Do you want to invest? How much do you plan to invest?"

After considering it, some of the other decision-makers said that they could only offer a maximum of 10 yuan, while others said they really couldn't come up with that much and could only offer 8 yuan.

After a final count, the six major families only managed to raise 50 pounds.

The Li family leader frowned and said, "So the combined stake of the six of us is only 5%? If this gets out, I'm afraid everyone will laugh their heads off, right?"

The head of the Li family sighed and said, "Old Li, you know that although we are considered to be one of the richest people in Hong Kong Island, most of our assets are reflected in fixed assets, companies and securities. We don't have much liquid cash on hand!"
