Chapter 14 Preparing for Investment
Xu Hao and Sun Mingqiang came to the living room on the second floor. They poured Sun Mingqiang a cup of tea and said, "I wonder what Chief Editor Sun is here for today?"
After Sun Mingqiang sat down, he took out a check from his pocket, put it in front of Xu Hao and said, "Ahao, just call me Uncle Sun. The main reason I came here today is to talk to you about the novel. Your work a few days ago
The novel has been published, and the sales volume of the newspaper has soared that day. Today, 80,000 copies have been sold out. I have just arranged to print an additional 10,000 copies. They should have been sent to various newsstands by now. I will
One is to follow Manager Ma's instructions. I know that you are about to open a traditional Chinese medicine clinic. You have only arrived in Hong Kong not long ago and you should need money. I will give you an advance payment of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars in royalties. You can use it first. The other one is to look at you.
Is there anything else you need our help with? Also, I would like to ask how many manuscripts you have prepared in the past few days? I don’t need to trouble you to go to the newspaper office to deliver manuscripts in the future, I will come and pick them up in person.”
When Xu Hao heard what Sun Mingqiang said, he knew that Ma Rulong wanted to win over him and was afraid that he would submit articles to other newspapers, so he smiled and said, "Okay, then I will call you Uncle Sun. Uncle Sun, thank you and Uncle Ma for your concern."
, but look at it, it’s only been a few days,
It doesn’t mean that this novel will be a big hit. I feel ashamed that you have sent so much royalties all at once. There is really something I need Uncle Ma’s help with, which is the Chinese medicine clinic I plan to open. The place has not been found yet. I know Ma
Uncle has a wide range of contacts in society,
I also have very good relations with all aspects. I am just wondering if I can ask Uncle Ma to help me find a suitable place and manuscript. I have written more than 200,000 words in the past few days and cannot delay the update of the newspaper. Don’t worry, you will arrive at ten
No. to pick up the manuscript, I guess
There are more than 300,000 words, and the manuscripts I left with the newspaper are almost more than 400,000 words. This way you can publish them continuously for more than a month. After the manuscripts are published, it will be almost the end of July. I am relieved.
You can then be busy with the Chinese medicine clinic.”
When Sun Mingqiang heard this, he said, "Ah Hao, you are so young and you have just come to Xiangjiang. Now you have to be your own boss. It is much better than us wage earners. I was still in school when I was your age. So Ah Hao, you
What requirements do you have for the house of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic? I will tell Manager Ma immediately when I get back and ask him to keep an eye on it for you. I will come back to pick up the manuscript on the afternoon of the 10th."
Xu Hao said, "It is best to have a two-story house. In terms of area, the first floor should be more than a thousand square feet. The environment should be quiet and convenient for me to write and see a doctor. There are no other requirements. If I can buy another
It’s best to come down”
Xu Hao originally wanted to rent a house, mainly because he had no money, but now that Ma Rulong has given him half a million Hong Kong dollars in royalties, he doesn't have to rent a house and can buy a suitable one.
Xu Hao knows that although the housing prices in Xiangjiang will fall after the stock market crash next year, the current housing prices in Xiangjiang are not too high and will not fall much by next year. However, from next year until 2082, the housing prices in Xiangjiang have increased several times.
, and now that I have money, it is very cost-effective to buy a house.
When Sun Mingqiang heard what Xu Hao said, he said, "Ah Hao, I will tell Manager Ma when I get back, don't worry, with Manager Ma's status in society, you will have no problem with this matter, just wait for the news.
We’ll get it done for you as soon as possible, then I’ll leave first.”
Xu Hao picked up the check and put it in his pocket, then smiled and said, "Uncle Sun, I'll give it to you."
After sending Sun Mingqiang away, he saw Zhao Jun coming back, so he said to Zhao Jun, "Brother Jun, let's go to HSBC Bank to do some errands later."
When Uncle Han heard this, he said, "Ah Hao, why are you going to the bank?"
Xu Hao laughed and said, "Uncle Han, that editor-in-chief Sun came just now and paid me 500,000 yuan in advance for the manuscript. I will open an account at HSBC Bank and deposit the money in it."
When Han Xiangsheng heard this, he opened his eyes wide and said in surprise, "Ahao, are you telling the truth? You can earn half a million just by writing books in these few days? It's more than I have earned in several years, isn't it?"
Are you comforting me?"
Xu Hao took out the check and said with a smile, "Uncle Han, how dare I lie to you? Look, this is a check for five hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars. By the way, I also want to tell you something, Uncle Han. You will give it to the real estate agency later."
I made a phone call and asked them to find a suitable house as soon as possible, preferably for sale. I was going to buy it. Originally, I had no money but to rent it. Now that I have money, I will buy it. The housing prices in Xiangjiang will be higher in the future.
It will go up a lot, and it’s a good deal for us to buy it now.”
When Han Xiangsheng heard this, he said, "Ah Hao, I think it's better to rent a house. You have to save money. You will marry a wife and raise children in the future. There are so many places to spend money."
Xu Hao said with a wry smile, "Uncle Han, I'm only sixteen years old this year, okay? I'm still far from what you said. Uncle Han, you have to believe me. We will definitely make a lot of money in the future. We will definitely make a lot of money."
Money that you can’t believe is nothing to me, and anything that can be solved with money is nothing.”
As soon as Han Xiangsheng heard this, he said, "Ah Hao, I believe you will succeed. Okay, I'll call the real estate agency. After lunch, you and Jun Zai will go to work. You two go to eat quickly."
After dinner, Xu Hao and Zhao Jun took a taxi to open an account at HSBC. Why did Xu Hao choose HSBC? It’s because HSBC is the largest bank in Hong Kong now and has a full range of businesses, including the securities department.
I am also very proficient, so I can
To lay a solid foundation for investing in the stock market next year, leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade can also hide oneself behind the scenes. Xu Hao knew in his last life that if the first bird is shot, the first bird will die first. After all, his current strength
It's too small to make any mistakes.
After getting off the taxi and paying them, Xu Hao and Zhao Jun entered the headquarters building of HSBC Bank. As soon as they entered the gate, they saw many people queuing up in the business hall next to them to handle business.
A beautiful front desk lady smiled and said to Xu Hao, "Sir, what kind of business do you handle? Do you need my help?"
Xu Hao said, "Hello, beautiful sister, I want to open an account and deposit 500,000 Hong Kong dollars first. I don't know where to go to do it. Another thing I want to ask is the business process of your bank's securities department. I don't know what to do."
Who to talk to?”
When the front desk lady heard that the business of 500,000 yuan was a big customer, she didn’t know that this was the young master from that wealthy family? He was so handsome, and the smile on her face became even sweeter. She quickly said, "Sir, you are dealing with a
For big business, the manager of our sales department should personally entertain you. Please wait while I call our manager."
After saying that, he turned around and went inside to find the manager. After a while, he saw the front desk lady leading a man in his thirties towards him. When she walked up to him, she said, "Hello, sir, I'm sorry.
Rusen, is the manager of the business department of HSBC Bank. From what you said, you should be one of our VIP customers. Please come with me inside and talk again, please."
When Xu Hao and the others entered an office, Manager Qian said, "Gentlemen, please sit down. Would you like to have coffee or tea?"
Xu Hao said, "Manager Qian, you're welcome, let the two of us have tea."
Manager Qian said to the front desk lady, "Xiao Wang, go get the two gentlemen two cups of tea."
Then he said to Xu Hao, "What's your surname, sir? I heard from Xiao Wang that you want to handle a deposit of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars. Do you also want to know some of the business processes of our bank's securities department?"
Xu Hao said, "My name is Xu Hao, and I am the money manager. I am here to open an account in your bank and deposit 500,000 Hong Kong dollars first. Next, I want to invest in the stock market. I don't know what your bank's securities department can do."
Can’t do it well? So I want to consult.”
Just then, Miss Wang brought the tea and placed it in front of Xu Hao and the others, and said politely, "Gentlemen, please have tea."
Xu Hao also said, "Thank you, Miss Wang."
Manager Qian said, "Xiao Wang, you go down first, I will personally entertain this distinguished guest."
When Xiao Wang went out and closed the door behind him, Qian Rushen said to Xu Hao, "I will go to open an account for you in person right away. Now I will contact Manager Song from our securities department and ask him to come over and introduce it to you personally."
Then Qian Rushen called the securities department and heard him say on the phone, "Hello, Manager Song. I have a big client here who wants our bank's securities department to help with investment. OK, you can come down right away. That'll do."
, right in my office.”
Then he put down the phone and said to Xu Hao, "Mr. Xu, Manager Song will be down soon. You drink tea first. Seeing that Mr. Xu is so young, which wealthy family is he descended from?"
Xu Hao laughed and said, "I am not a descendant of any wealthy family. I just swam from the mainland not long ago, and I just received my Xiangjiang ID card a few days ago."
When Qian Rushen heard what Xu Hao said, he said with embarrassment, "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, look at what I just said..."
Xu Hao hurriedly said, "Manager Qian, it's okay. I'm just a mainlander, but I'm still Chinese. Counting three generations back, aren't you also Chinese? We are all Chinese, with the same blood and the same ancestors.
We are all one family wherever we go.”
When Qian Rushen heard what Xu Hao said, he also smiled and said, "Yes, yes, Mr. Xu said it very well. We are all a family, but Mr. Xu, you are really a young talent. Within a few days of coming to Xiangjiang, you
I am really impressed that you can make such a huge amount of money.”
The two people were chatting when they heard several knocks on the door. Qian Rushen quickly said, "Please come in."
I saw a middle-aged man in his forties walking in from the outside, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. Qian Rushen quickly said, "Let me introduce to you, Manager Song. This is the one I told you. You need
Mr. Xu Hao, who understands the procedures of our securities department, Mr. Xu, this is Song Zhongfeng, the manager of our bank’s securities department. Let’s talk, Mr. Xu, give me your ID card, and I will open an account for you right away.”
Xu Hao took out his ID card and the check, handed it to Qian Rushen and said, "I'll trouble you, Manager Qian. Brother Jun, please go with Mr. Qian. I'll talk to Manager Song first."
So Zhao Jun and Qian Rushen went out to open an account together. At this time, Song Zhongfeng came up and said with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Xu, I will introduce to you the business of our securities department. Our HSBC Bank
Our securities department ranks among the top three among all securities departments in Hong Kong. We have a team of strong and experienced traders, and we act as agents for all trading operations for clients investing in the stock market and futures.
, and give customers two options. The first is that we use our securities department’s analysis of the market to give customers a reference, and then act as an agent for the customer’s investment. This type of fee is relatively high, but the insurance coefficient is larger. The second
The first is that the customer makes all the decisions, and we just follow the customer's requirements. In this case, we only charge the service fee, which is very low. I don't know which one Mr. Xu chooses?"
Xu Hao said, "But I have another question, how is your confidentiality work here? I don't want anyone to know what I am doing, and I don't want anyone to know my investment direction."
Song Zhongfeng then said, "Mr. Xu, please don't worry. Before we start investing, we must sign a confidentiality agreement under the supervision of a lawyer. If there is a leak on our side during the trading process, if it is confirmed, we will give
The huge compensation you paid is legally valid."
Xu Hao smiled and said, "That's good. I'll choose your second method. You open an investment account for me. I'll transfer 100,000 Hong Kong dollars to it later. In the past two days, you can open ten anonymous overseas accounts first."
Account, put 10,000 Hong Kong dollars into each account, and find me a team of excellent and obedient traders. Today is Wednesday, and I will come back next Monday morning. After we sign a confidentiality agreement, I will tell them
What to do, Manager Song, do you think this is okay?"
Song Zhongfeng immediately said, "Don't worry, Mr. Xu, we will do as you wish. The opinions of customers are our purpose. I will arrange everything in the next few days."
At this moment, Qian Rushen pushed the door open and came in and said to Xu Hao, "Mr. Xu, your account has been processed and 500,000 Hong Kong dollars have been deposited. Here are your ID cards, bank cards and check books. Please
Put it away"
After Xu Hao took it and handed it to Zhao Jun, he said to Qian Rushen, "Thank you, Manager Qian. Brother Jun, you can open an account with Manager Song and transfer 100,000 Hong Kong dollars to it."
Zhao Jun and Song Zhongfeng went out to handle the matter together. After a while, they came back, and Zhao Jun said, "Ah Hao, everything has been done and the money has been transferred."
So Xu Hao said to Qian Rushen and Song Zhongfeng, "Manager Qian, Manager Song, you see it has troubled you for so long today, how about I treat you two to a meal tonight to show my gratitude?"
