We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

In the afternoon, while Su Cheng was enjoying afternoon tea on the third-floor terrace, Zhong Chuhong hurried over to say there was a phone call.

Su Cheng got up, returned to the room, and picked up the phone. "Hello, this is Su Cheng."

"Mr. Su, this is Shen Bi from HSBC Bank," Shen Bi said with a smile over the phone.

"So it's Mr. Shen Bi. Judging by your laughter, do you have good news?" Su Cheng also said with a smile.

"Mr. Su's guess is spot on. Indeed, after a vote by the entire shareholders' meeting, we have approved Mr. Su's loan application. When is it convenient for Mr. Su to come over? I'll have someone prepare the contract in advance," Shen Bi said.

"That's really good news. There's no time like the present. I'll come over right away. Please trouble Mr. Shen Bi to prepare the contract in advance," Su Cheng said with a smile.

"Alright, Mr. Su, I'll be waiting for you in my office at the HSBC Bank headquarters!" Shen Bi nodded.

After hanging up, Su Cheng couldn't help but marvel at how efficient Shen Bi was!

Subsequently, he picked up another phone and dialed directly to Tianyuan Building.

He was looking for the legal counsel of Tianyuan Company. After all, with such a large contract, he was afraid of overlooking any traps, so it would be better to have a professional go with him.

Afterward, Su Cheng had the driver take him to Tianyuan Building in North Point first. After picking up the company's legal counsel there, they went directly to the HSBC Bank headquarters.

Arriving at the bank, Su Cheng led the person directly to Shen Bi's office. At this time, there were already several people waiting for Su Cheng in the office.

Including Shen Bi, HSBC Bank's legal counsel, and others.

"Mr. Su has come quickly. I just prepared the contract. Take a look first, and feel free to point out any unreasonable aspects," Shen Bi said with a smile.

"Alright, thank you, Mr. Shen Bi," Su Cheng nodded, took the two copies of the contract, handed one to his company's legal counsel, and kept one for himself.

Two people reading together could better ensure that nothing was missed.

After a long while, Su Cheng finished reading. The contract was very reasonable, with all the conditions that had been discussed with Shen Bi.

On the way here, he had already explained the details of the matter to the company's legal counsel, so the legal counsel could naturally see if there were any problems with the contract.

Su Cheng put down the contract and looked at his own legal counsel.

"Boss, after reviewing it repeatedly, I can confirm that there are no problems with the contract," the legal counsel said.

"Okay!" Su Cheng nodded.

"Mr. Shen Bi, no problem, let's sign the contract then," Su Cheng said with a smile.

"Alright, Mr. Su, please come this way. We'll take a photo for record-keeping," Shen Bi said.

This contract would definitely not be made public, at least not for now. Otherwise, it would affect HSBC Bank's stock market and lead to various speculations about the reasons for Su Cheng's loan.

However, relevant filings were still necessary. After all, such a large transaction would definitely go down in history. How could we not even have a photo of this historic moment!

The two of them sat down at the table, each with a copy of the contract in front of them. Both contracts were the same, just two identical copies. After signing, the two parties exchanged and signed again, stamped with private seals and HSBC Bank's official seal. This concluded the signing of the contract.

"Mr. Su, happy cooperation," Shen Bi stood up and extended his right hand with a smile.

"Happy cooperation!" Su Cheng responded with a smile.

As the two shook hands, flashes of light flickered continuously, recording this moment of theirs.

The contract stipulated that HSBC Bank would, after the contract was signed, separately deposit 5 billion Hong Kong dollars into a separate account, which Su Cheng had the right to inquire about.

This fund could only be used when payment was required after the crude oil transaction.

"Mr. Su, now that the loan contract has been signed, let's also finalize the matter of you taking a position as a director of HSBC Bank, as you agreed last time," Shen Bi continued.

"Alright, thank you very much for HSBC Bank's recognition," Su Cheng nodded.

Next, Shen Bi had someone hand Su Cheng a letter of appointment, which stated Su Cheng's responsibilities and rights after taking the position of director of HSBC Bank.

That is to say, from today onwards, he also had the right to vote in HSBC Bank.

The HSBC Group would also issue an announcement to the outside world regarding this appointment of a director.

As a listed company, any changes in senior management need to be announced to shareholders in a timely manner.

Su Cheng's appointment as a director of HSBC was considered very good news for HSBC, and its dissemination could bring a certain increase in HSBC Bank's stock price.

Now, Su Cheng was a well-known figure with money and strength. Such a person serving as a director of HSBC Group was naturally considered a positive.

Of course, due to Su Cheng's special circumstances, he could choose whether or not to attend HSBC Group's board meetings. It was no different from a nominal position. Shen Bi just wanted to get Su Cheng on board and bring their relationship closer.

Hypocritical performances, all for the benefit of both parties.

"Mr. Su, do you need to buy HSBC Bank's stock now? Our shareholders' meeting has already voted to issue 1% to 2% of the shares to you at half the current market value through financing," Shen Bi continued.

"No hurry, let's wait for a while. I need to use all my funds now, as Mr. Shen Bi also knows," Su Cheng said directly.

"Alright, then whenever Mr. Su wants to subscribe to our HSBC Group's stock, just tell me, and I'll apply for financing from the exchange," Shen Bi nodded.

Su Cheng put the HSBC Group director appointment letter into his bag and then said, "Then let's go and open an independent account now."

Shen Bi nodded, then led Su Cheng to a VIP service room.

Here, after a series of procedures, a separate HSBC Bank account with 5 billion deposited was completed.

The bankbook was naturally handed over to Su Cheng for safekeeping, but he just couldn't use it at will.

Holding the bankbook, Su Cheng felt relieved.

This time's crude oil layout had once again completed an important step.

Next, it was time to find a crude oil supplier.

Here was 5 billion Hong Kong dollars, plus the 4.5 billion Hong Kong dollars he had in hand, which meant that Su Cheng had 9.5 billion Hong Kong dollars available.

This nearly 10 billion fund was very large, and the amount of crude oil that could be purchased was beyond imagination.

Therefore, it was necessary to prepare in advance, otherwise, once Iran had a revolution overthrowing the Pahlavi dynasty and stopped exporting oil for 60 days, it would be too late. All the preparations made before would be in vain.

"Now that it's 9.5 billion, let's find a way to get 10 billion," Su Cheng looked down at the bankbook in his hand and muttered to himself.

10 billion was difficult to raise, but 500 million Hong Kong dollars should not be difficult for him if he asked Xiao Ai, right?!

He would ask Xiao Ai later.
