Chapter 168 Charity Auction
September is here as scheduled.
Over at Ouyang Hai, good news came back from the UK. The negotiations with Wandehan Bank have ended.
The other boss originally offered 10 million pounds. After a week of negotiations, the final price agreed upon by both parties was 8.3 million pounds, a full 1.7 million pounds less.
Moreover, this 8.3 million pounds only requires an initial payment of 5 million pounds, and the subsequent 3.3 million pounds belongs to the loan user and does not need to be paid by Sioux City.
Wandehan Bank currently has about 3.3 million pounds of loans that have not yet been repaid. The former boss of the bank will be able to collect as much of this money as it repays. Wandehan Bank will then establish a designated repayment account.<
/p>
The reason why he finally agreed to such harsh conditions is said to be because the bank's deposit users are very strict in collecting debts. They form a team to surround his villa every day. If they don't pay back the money, they will no longer be able to live in the villa. With no other choice, they
The boss finally agreed to the conditions proposed by Ouyang Hai's team.
Users who owe more than 2.2 million pounds in deposits will be deducted from the 8.3 million pounds at that time, and the deposited user funds will be paid off under the supervision of both parties.
After the bank's acquisition conditions were negotiated, the deal was quickly reached between the two parties.
Therefore, Sioux City now has its own bank in the UK.
Over in the UK, Su Cheng directly asked Yu Xing to help find an experienced banking professional manager from a headhunting company to serve as the general manager of Wandehan Bank.
Due to the rush of the acquisition, it was difficult for Su City to reach the other side of Xiangjiang, so it was temporarily attached to the European branch of Su Group, with Yu Xing exercising temporary supervision rights.
After finding a more suitable professional manager in the future, we can form a banking group.
On September 1st, Ouyang Hai, who returned with the team, met with Su Cheng.
Su Cheng also gave the previously promised bonus to their group.
The negotiation was short of 1.7 million pounds, and the 5% bonus is 85,000 pounds.
There are a total of 5 people led by Ouyang Hai this time, and each person can get 17,000 pounds, which is not a lot of money for them.
At the end of August, the exchange rate of British pounds to Hong Kong dollars had risen to 1 pound to 10 Hong Kong dollars, so it only took them more than a week to get a bonus of 170,000 Hong Kong dollars each.

With such a generous boss, Ouyang Hai naturally worked for him wholeheartedly.
On the afternoon of September 1st, Su Cheng received a call from the Hong Kong Governor's Office, hoping that he would participate in a charity auction.
On August 28, a typhoon hit various villages in Tung Chung, Lantau Island, causing the destruction of many villagers' houses and leaving many local residents homeless.
Tung Chung, known as Tung Chung Kou in ancient times, is located in the center of the north shore of Lantau Island, facing the sea on one side and surrounded by mountains on three sides.
Opposite Tung Chung is Chek Lap Kok. In the future, Chek Lap Kok will undergo reclamation and land reclamation, and the new Xiangjiang International Airport will eventually be built on the island. The old airport Kai Tak International Airport will therefore be decommissioned.
There are many villages in Tung Chung. Although no new towns have been established yet, the population of more than a dozen villages is tens of thousands. It is the most densely populated place on Lantau Island.
Therefore, the government launched post-disaster reconstruction work and charity auctions to raise funds for post-disaster reconstruction.
Hundreds of houses were completely destroyed, and even more houses were damaged to varying degrees. Roads and mountains also need to be repaired. According to preliminary estimates, the economic loss of the entire Lantau Island amounts to hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars.
Since the crowd was moved in advance, there were no casualties, which is a blessing among misfortunes.
As for the reconstruction funds, which cost tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, it is impossible for the Hong Kong Financial Department to bear them all by itself.
The path of the typhoon is biased toward the Pearl River Estuary and moves westward. Therefore, although there are strong winds and heavy rains in the urban area, the damage is not as serious as that of Lantau Island.
Su Cheng naturally had to participate in this kind of thing, so he agreed.
Soon, Su Cheng received an invitation letter from the Hong Kong Governor's Office.
The charity auction is scheduled for 8 pm on September 2, and will be organized with the assistance of the famous Hong Kong Royal International Art Auction in Hong Kong, and the venue will be the Hong Kong Art Museum.
Time soon came to September 2nd, today was Saturday, and Zhong Chuhong returned to the villa.
This weekend, it happened that Zhong Chuhong was not included in the shooting plans of the two crews, and artist training classes were not held on weekends, so she had time to come over to Su City.
"In the evening, come with me to the art museum." Su Cheng turned around and said with a smile.
At this time, Zhong Chuhong stood obediently behind Su Cheng, massaging his shoulders.
In September in Xiangjiang, perhaps not long after the typhoon passed, the rain had stopped in the morning, but the sun had not yet come out.
Therefore, you won’t feel stuffy when sitting on the terrace. On the contrary, the temperature is a little cooler because of the sea breeze.
"Okay." Zhong Chuhong paused for a moment, then continued to pinch.
Although she didn’t know why Su Cheng asked her to go to the art museum, she just had to listen to what the boss said and would not question it at all.
"I will participate in a charity auction at the art museum, and you will help me hold up the sign and raise the bid." Su Cheng said the reason for taking her to the art museum.
"Ah, boss, I haven't participated in an auction yet. Will it embarrass you if I don't understand anything?" Zhong Chuhong was a little confused after hearing this.
"It's okay, I haven't participated in it before. It's just an auction, so don't be nervous." Su Cheng said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, I will try my best to behave better and try not to embarrass you, boss." Zhong Chuhong's performance at this time was very cute.
Nowadays, she is considered a celebrity in Hong Kong, and her role as a kind and gentle woman is deeply loved by everyone.
As for "A Date with a Zombie", although she also played the important heroine Wang Zhenzhen, the broadcast has not started yet, so naturally there is no way to talk about it.
Su Cheng directly pulled her from behind to the front, let her sit on his lap, and looked at the scenery in the distance together...
In the evening, Su Cheng and Zhong Chuhong had a candlelight dinner together. It was not until 7:20 in the evening that they slowly got up and went out.
The Hong Kong Museum of Art is located on the 9th to 11th floors on the top floor of the Edinburgh Plaza Town Hall in Central. It is not far from the villa in Sioux City. It only takes about ten minutes to get there if there is no traffic jam, so there is no need to go too far.
Morning.
The car drove along the Garden Route and then turned to Queen's Road Central. After a few turns, we arrived at the Edinburgh Place Town Hall in Central.
At this time, the parking lot outside the City Hall was already filled with all kinds of luxury cars just like the last time I attended the dinner at the Government House, but on a larger scale.
It can be seen that those who came to participate in this charity auction this time are all wealthy people from all over Hong Kong.
Chapter completed!
