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 finally became a Chinese 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 it was the only bank in the Hong Kong banking industry that did not meet the statutory liquidity ratio requirements of the Banking Ordinance.

On November 25, 1965, the Aberdeen branch of the Far East Bank was run for cash. At the same time, HSBC Hong Kong announced its unconditional support for the Far East Bank, which enabled the 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 is 15 stories high and magnificent. It is a landmark building in Hong Kong in this era.

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

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

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 a facade.

The lady at the front desk was 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 her nose hard.

The fashionable girl asked Shi Zhijian if he could help, and Shi Zhijian said that 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 Juncai learned the lesson, and took out 50 yuan and put it under the business card and handed it over, grinning his teeth and saying to the fashionable girl, "Please, please be accommodating."

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

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

The fashionable girl gave Shi Zhijian a surprised look, and said, "Wait a minute!" She turned around and walked away with a fragrant breeze.

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

"It means that you don't need to pay the extra fifty yuan!"

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

The fashionable girl has come over again, this time with an extremely friendly 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's buttocks with his briefcase in his arms, looking back at the fashionable girl frequently, wanting to ask for the fifty yuan he had just stuffed out.

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

"Fuck you, you're so stupid! I lost fifty yuan for nothing!" Hu Juncai slapped his head hard with his hand, full of regret in his heart.

...

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

When Shi Zhijian arrived at the door of the CEO's office, a beautiful woman in a pair of high heels 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 secretary."

The beauty offered her hand.

Shi Zhijian shook hands with her.

Hu Juncai only felt that the beautiful woman in front of him had picturesque eyebrows, a beautiful nose and cherry lips, and her hair was coiled up like a flower. She was ten times more beautiful than the fashionable girl at the front desk. The secretary is a princess.

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

But Qiu Jiawen didn't even look at him, and said to Shi Zhijian, "Wait a minute!" She turned around quickly, went to the front desk first, and told the fashionable girl, "Postpone Mr. Qiu's ten o'clock schedule for an hour, and if anyone asks, please 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 reached out and knocked on the door three times.

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

Qiu Jiawen pushed open the door of the CEO's office, and then led Shi Zhijian and Hu Juncai in.

...

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 pair of majestic and magnificent calligraphy works hanging on the wall at the head, which reads: Virtue carries things.

When Qiu Jiawen led Shi Zhijian in, Qiu Dewang was buried in signing a document. When he raised his head and saw Shi Zhijian, he smiled and pointed to the sofa: "For those who are destined, please sit down!"

Then he told Qiu Jiawen: "Secretary Qiu, please help us prepare three cups of coffee." Suddenly, as if remembering something, he turned to ask Shi Zhijian, "Do you prefer coffee or tea?"

"It's all right." Shi Zhijian said, and sat down on the sofa opposite.

Hu Juncai also imitated his appearance and sat down on the sofa, but he didn't dare to sit down, and habitually sat down halfway.

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

When he said this, Shi Zhijian's expression was light and calm, as if the spring breeze on his face was really to thank Qiu Dewang for his actions last night.

Qiu Dewang also listened with a smile on his face, but both of them knew that thanking them for the wine was just an excuse, and since Shi Zhijian came here, 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! As I said, I just took this opportunity to form a good relationship with you, but I didn't expect to meet so soon."

"Mr. Qiu, you are being polite, just call me Jian!"

"A Jian? Hehe, that's a kind name!" Qiu Dewang seemed very satisfied with Shi Zhijian, with a smile on his face all the time, "I don't know why you came here today, A Jian?"

Before Qiu Dewang finished 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 smiled politely at Qiu Jiawen to express 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, Ms. Qiu." After Shi Zhijian expressed his thanks, he continued to look at Qiu Dewang: "Mr. Qiu, you must have known what happened last night. I was so confused that I caused such a big trouble by being drunk!"

"Now I've offended Mr. Shao, and I've offended the senior consultant of the Water Supplies Department, Mr. Paligo! The most important thing is that the media and public opinion continue to comment on Shek Kip Mei, and the higher authorities are even more anxious about this matter!"

"Oh?" Qiu Dewang glanced at Qiu Jiawen who was standing aside after making coffee, and then said to Shi Zhijian: "I've heard what you mentioned just now, but you said 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 everyone will not accept it when they are angry! So I beg Mr. Qiu to act as an intermediary to help me Say and make peace!"

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

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

"Pfft!" 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 sorry!"

Shi Zhijian didn't care about being interrupted in his passionate speech, "The place in Shek Kip Mei is very poor, and the higher-ups have to spend money for development. Now I will pay! There is a lot of surplus labor in Shek Kip Mei. Open a factory to recruit them and let them have something to do! It is forbidden to privately build water towers to supply water without permission. I engage in industrial development and follow the trend, and others have nothing to say!"

"All of this is my atonement! I also ask Mr. Qiu to help make it happen!" Shi Zhijian bowed deeply to Qiu Dewang after finishing speaking.

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