Codename Doctor, Moved to Hong Kong

Chapter 50: Saving Gold

"Don't be silly, Xiao Mengmeng is only sixteen years old, still a little girl!" Zhang Chaoyang was speechless. What were these two women thinking?

"It's not small, it's just a little smaller than me!" said Hu Jianing.

"I'm talking about age!" Zhang Chaoyang slapped Hu Jianing on the butt in annoyance.

"That's not too young, she's only one year younger than me, which means she's already reached the legal marriage age in Hong Kong!" Hu Jianing said with a smile, sticking out her tongue.

In the next few days, Zhang Chaoyang did not go out and lived a secluded life. However, there were constant visitors at home. Everyone knew that Zhang Chaoyang was back and came to visit him.

Zhang Chaoyang also received them politely. Those who were close to him or those who Zhang Chaoyang liked would stay at Zhang Mansion for a meal.

In the meantime, Zhang Chaoyang asked Chen Chuan to prepare the truck and took his men to the Wan Chai Wharf warehouse for a tour and loaded the gold into the truck. Then Wei Dayong and his team drove the truck to HSBC.

The reason for going around the dock was to deceive others and tell them that the gold had just been transported.

The truck stopped in front of the HSBC Building.

Zhang Chaoyang took Chen Chuan into HSBC.

McMillan, who received the news, came out of the office and let Zhang Chaoyang into the meeting room.

"Mr. Zhang, you're making a big fuss!" He said with a wry smile, looking through the window at the ten trucks parked outside and the bodyguards standing next to the trucks.

"I am also a shareholder of HSBC now, so I have some gold in my hand, which I plan to deposit in HSBC!" Zhang Chaoyang sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, lit a cigar, took a puff slowly, and then said with a smile.

“Saving gold?

Mr. Zhang, don't tell me that the ten trucks outside are all loaded with gold?" McMillan stood up from the sofa, walked to the window and looked down.

"Yes, all ten trucks are carrying gold!" Zhang Chaoyang nodded.

More than 0.05 tons of gold, if we talk about volume, can be taken away by one truck. One ton of gold is just over 3.5 cubic meters, and more than tons is just over cubic meters.

But, in terms of weight, it really is ten trucks.

Cars of this era do not have very heavy loads, and there are not many that can carry more than ten tons. The trucks that Zhang Chaoyang found can carry seven tons each, which is already overweight.

“Mr. Zhang is really generous!

But, our HSBC is small, and I am afraid we cannot take in such a large amount of gold." Macmillan took a deep breath, calmed down, and then spoke.

"No way? A big bank like HSBC can't even handle more than 70 tons of gold?" Zhang Chaoyang asked calmly.

“I can’t eat any more!”

"Mr. McMillan, I'm not going to sell this gold to HSBC. I'm going to deposit it in HSBC and then use it as collateral for a mortgage!" Zhang Chaoyang looked at McMillan calmly.

Without waiting for McMillan to speak, Zhang Chaoyang continued, "Or do you think that I can't deposit my gold in other banks besides HSBC?

Or, does HSBC want to push such a large business outward?

If so, I will ask the board of directors what Macmillan wants to do.

"Mr. Zhang misunderstood. I said I couldn't eat because I thought Mr. Zhang wanted to sell gold.

If it's just storage and mortgage, there's no problem! "McMillan took a deep breath and said to Zhang Chaoyang with a smile.

"That's good, Mr. Macmillan, hurry up and arrange for someone to receive the gold!

It's still a bit conspicuous outside. If someone has evil thoughts, it will be bad!" Zhang Chaoyang urged with a smile. "Okay, Mr. Zhang, wait a moment, I'll arrange it right away!" McMillan went out to make a phone call, and soon a team of armed security guards ran out of HSBC and surrounded the ten trucks tightly in the middle.

"Mr. Zhang, let's go down!" McMillan walked in and said politely to Zhang Chaoyang.

"Okay!" Zhang Chaoyang shrugged, followed McMillan out of the reception room, and went downstairs to the entrance of the building.

Zhang Chaoyang arranged for people to move the gold into the HSBC Building, deliver it directly to the basement, and place it at the door of the vault, waiting for HSBC people to inspect the goods before they could store them in the vault.

After inspection, it was determined that the gold Zhang Chaoyang brought over amounted to 75 tons, or 358 kilograms.

McMillan called the other two deputy general managers and the supervisor in charge of the vault. They entered the secret code and opened the vault door which was one meter thick.

Everyone else had already evacuated, leaving only the vault security and HSBC executives at the scene.

Zhang Chaoyang also stayed as the largest individual shareholder.

As the vault door was opened, Zhang Chaoyang narrowed his eyes.

Zhang Chaoyang estimated that there were seven or eight hundred tons of gold alone, as well as a large amount of US dollars and British pounds. This was definitely more than the Mitsubishi Bank that the original owner had robbed.

If we rob HSBC Bank...

Wait, wait, no hurry!
No, I own this bank now, I can’t rob it!
Zhang Chaoyang comforted himself silently.

After depositing the gold into the vault and closing the vault door, Zhang Chaoyang let out a long sigh of relief.

I almost couldn't help myself and robbed the vault of HSBC Bank.

McMillan also breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the closed vault door.

Every time he opened the vault door, McMillan felt like his heart was hanging.

Afraid of something going wrong.

Macmillan also comes from a very old political family in Great Britain. He was able to become the executive director and CEO of HSBC due to his own abilities as well as the influence of his family.

Once there is a problem with the vault, it will not only affect him, but also his entire family.

The reason for his concern was the impact of the mysterious bank robbery that occurred in Shanghai that year.

At that time, he worked as a manager at HSBC Bank in Shanghai and personally experienced the robbery of Mitsubishi Bank. All the gold, silver and banknotes in the vault mysteriously disappeared.

Since then, McMillan has suffered from psychological trauma.

I always feel inexplicably worried. After waking up from a good sleep, I open the door of the vault and find it empty.

Zhang Chaoyang followed McMillan into the reception room.

"Mr. Zhang, how much money do you plan to borrow?"

"How much of my gold can you lend me and how much interest?" Zhang Chaoyang asked with a smile.

"I can lend Mr. Zhang 90% of the value of the gold, and the interest rate is naturally the lowest." McMillan no longer resisted Zhang Chaoyang, but talked about business with Zhang Chaoyang very calmly.

"Mr. Macmillan, I am a shareholder of HSBC after all. It would be fine if I only gave you 90% of the gold loan, but you actually asked for interest?
I might as well sell the gold directly to HSBC." Zhang Chaoyang said calmly while holding a cigar in his mouth and looking at McMillan.
