Chapter 751

"Knock knock knock~~~"

Secretary Liz knocks on the office door.

Big boss Brandon: "Come in~~"

Blonde secretary Liz twists her exaggeratedly curved small waist and big butt: "Mr. Big Boss, just now the administrative secretary of the Five-Star Group called, saying Mr. Guan wants to invite Mr. Brandon to dinner at the Shangri-La at 19:00 tonight."

Brandon: "Ah?"

Suddenly has an ominous feeling.

That Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu coming to the door definitely means nothing good!

Brandon doesn't even think: "Good, promise him, I will arrive on time tonight."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's invitation, he must go, otherwise HSBC will offend Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu again and be tossed by Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.

And on the other side,

Shangri-La Hotel,

After Mr. Tax wakes up, his head is splitting; after drinking yesterday, he started sleeping when he returned to the hotel room, not even having time to take a shower.

Now waking up, feeling smelly and sticky all over, he hurriedly takes a shower, puts on the suit washed clean by the hotel. Then calls the waiter to take the clothes he changed out to wash.

Goes down to eat breakfast.

His brain starts to turn.

"That Boss Guan, looks like a very strong person. I must be careful when cooperating with him."

"How about introducing another capital?"

Mr. Tax's first reaction is to find HSBC.

Last time he looked for HSBC, but HSBC refused; the whole US feels Mr. Tax is a pit, and banks don't dare to lend him money at all; there was one fearless one who lent $50 million, and then got stuck.

Therefore, HSBC, as a bank, refused Mr. Tax.

"This time Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu is optimistic about this project, HSBC should be no problem, right?"

Mr. Tax wants to play a game of mutual competition and raising prices.

After eating breakfast, he couldn't wait to go to HSBC. After constant twists and turns, bragging about himself, he finally saw the secretary of the HSBC big boss, continued to brag about himself, and finally persuaded the secretary to take the project proposal to report to the big boss Brandon.

10 minutes...

20 minutes...

Mr. Tax waits and waits full of expectation.

Secretary finally walks out of Brandon's office.

Mr. Tax walks over quickly: "How is it? Ms. Liz~~"

Secretary Liz: "Very sorry, Mr. Tang Nade, the big boss still holds a skeptical attitude toward your project, after all, your reputation in New York is not good."

Mr. Tax is anxious: "But, even the richest man in Hong Kong, Mr. Guan, is optimistic about this project and decided to invest."

Secretary Liz: "Since Mr. Guan is optimistic, with his strength, he should have enough capital, right? Why do you still need to look for our HSBC?"

She looks at Mr. Tax playfully.

Everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, what kind of ghost story are you playing.

Mr. Tax doesn't blush at all: "We are all white people, all our own family, and that Mr. Guan is Chinese, not our own family. I naturally want to cooperate with you."

Liz smiles but doesn't smile, not exposing his tricks: "In short, our big boss will not invest in this project."

"Please go back~~~"

Finally,

Mr. Tax can only leave in disappointment.

He thinks, HSBC won't work, I can find others, right?

Consequently, he runs to find Boss Wu in Kowloon City, Boss Li Ji in real estate, find............

Blowing hard that this project will definitely win money, and Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu is also optimistic and wants to invest.

After looking around, he finds that one boss after another is interested at first, but then refuses.

Mr. Tax doesn't understand why.

At the same time, Shangri-La Hotel,

Chinese restaurant, private room,

"Mr. Brandon, nice to meet you!"

"Mr. Guan, nice to meet you!"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu brings secretary Wu Lianqian, and bodyguard Gong Wei; Brandon brings secretary Liz.

Dish after dish is sent in, and the two begin to chat. Overall, Brandon is in a weak position, it's really that HSBC is too weak, now Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu doesn't use small tricks at all, if he really uses small tricks to deal with HSBC, HSBC will definitely have twists and turns.

Brandon says flatteringly about today's gossip: "Mr. Guan, this morning, there was an American businessman named Tang Nade, saying he wanted to invite HSBC to develop a plot of land in New York together..."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu nods.

He already knew about this.

Not just HSBC, Boss Wu, Boss Li Ji, etc., he also received the news.

Brandon: "But when I knew that Mr. Guan was already going to participate in this project, I understood his idea, he wanted both sides to compete, so I refused him directly."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu smiles, raises his glass: "Thanks."

After three rounds of drinks,

Brandon finally can't help but ask: "Mr. Guan, don't know why you called me here this time, is...?"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "There is one thing."

Wu Lianqian takes out a piece of information, and Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu puts it in front of Brandon.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "Regarding the incident where I was assassinated by agents last time, I think Mr. Brandon should know... After chasing for this period of time, it was discovered that someone in your HSBC actually tipped them off, it is your Chief Operating Officer John Hinshaw."

As soon as these words came out,

Brandon's heart skipped a beat.

"Your HSBC is trying to harm me!"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu leans forward, his gaze suddenly turns cold, forcing Brandon:

"Mr. Brandon, are you the mastermind?"

Brandon thinks of the fate of HSBC's previous big bosses, and sweat immediately breaks out on his forehead.

"No no no! Mr. Guan, absolutely not!"

"How could I do such a thing! It must be the people below messing around, I don't know at all!"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu sneers: "Is that so? But, I can't tell if what you said is true or false."

Brandon explains constantly: "Mr. Guan should know, I just moved from Dubai, I have no dealings with the UK, and I'm not familiar with people in Hong Kong, I don't dare and don't have the ability to command the people below..."

However, as he defended himself, he suddenly reacted to one thing.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu invited him to dinner, which means Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu won't hurt him, but has another purpose.

Brandon hurriedly says: "Mr. Guan... I will definitely give you an explanation."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu plays with the wine glass: "What explanation can you give me?" Brandon thinks 'guessed right' in his heart, and hurriedly says: "Whatever explanation Mr. Guan wants, I will give!"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu smiles: "Good, recently Five-Star Charity has to undertake a large amount of urban transformation and help citizens, funds are very short... I hope HSBC can have public welfare heart, donate 100 million to Five-Star Charity..."

Brandon's heart twitches.

100 million Hong Kong dollars.

Really ruthless, stabbing the heart and lungs!

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu looks coldly: "Big boss, you don't want your car to have any accidents, right~~~"

Brandon wipes sweat wildly: "Donate! Must donate! Thank you Mr. Guan for your magnanimity!"

This matter is indeed HSBC's fault.

To put it bluntly, HSBC is colluding with assassins to assassinate Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu. Even if Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu killed him, the HSBC big boss, others wouldn't be able to say anything.

Although he is innocent, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu won't care if you are innocent or not; the 100 million Hong Kong dollar donation is just buying his life.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's cold face reveals a smile: "Knowing mistakes and willing to change, I like people like you."

"Come, cheers!"

"Cheers!"

Brandon breathes a sigh of relief.

Soon,

The dinner ended.

Brandon sends Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu out of the hotel entrance all the way.

"Mr. Guan, walk slowly!"

Bows slightly, sending Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu into the car with a bit of humility.

And this scene happens to be seen by Mr. Tax, who just returned to the hotel entrance and is preparing to enter the hotel.

Mr. Tax is very surprised.

"Why is this?"

Doesn't understand why this Brandon wants to please Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu so much.

At this moment, he roughly understands why the HSBC big boss refused to invest in his project.

2 hours later,

22:00 evening,

John Hinshaw drives a black Mercedes away from the HSBC Building, returning to his home in Repulse Bay.

The streetlights and neon lights of the high-rise buildings in Central retreat, forming strips of light.

He hums while driving; half a month ago, when Kingsman assassinated Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, he secretly provided information to the Kingsman organization. He was terrified for several days afterward, fearing he would be discovered.

But now two weeks have passed, and the Five-Star Group has no movement at all; it is clear that Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu doesn't know about this.

He can't help but relax and hum.

The car drives all the way, and when it reaches the mountain road in Pok Fu Lam, there are fewer streetlights around, and there are trees on the side of the road.

Suddenly~~

With a "thud," a big rock flies over, hitting the front window glass of the Mercedes.

Bang~~~ The glass shatters.

John is scared and hurriedly steps on the brake, the car leans to the side of the road.

Just as he wants to get out of the car to see, two people rush out from the side of the road, both wearing black head covers, holding guns in their hands, shouting at him: "Get out of the car! Don't move!"

Before John reacts, he is dragged out of the car, hit on the back of the head, and fainted directly.

Soon he is dragged into a van, and the van drives away.

And that Mercedes car is driven by another person onto a large container truck, the container door closes, and the car heads straight north, toward Sai Kung.

The location of the accident returns to calm, as if nothing happened.

Half an hour later,

In the sea area 5 kilometers away from the island,

"Bang~~~~"

A cement bucket is pushed into the sea, splashing a large area of water.

Soon the cement bucket sinks, not even bubbling, submerged in countless waves.

A new day,

Brandon arrives at the HSBC Building at 9 o'clock and walks into his office.

"Liz, morning!"

"Big boss, morning~~~"

Liz takes out a thin package: "Mr. Big Boss, you have a document, sent up by the people below this morning."

Brandon is surprised: "Unopened?"

Liz: "Not opened, it says it's from the Five-Star Group, and it also says you must open it yourself..."

Five-Star Group?

Brandon's heart moves, takes the package, and closes the office door.

Alone in the office,

He opens the package.

Inside is a license plate "bld04", and a photo—John Hinshaw.

Brandon is shocked: "Could it be?"

He puts away the things, calls in secretary Liz: "Did John Hinshaw from operations come to the company? Give him a call, I have a task to arrange for him."

Secretary Liz takes the order and goes out.

1 minute later,

Liz returns, reporting: "Big boss, his phone can't get through."

Brandon: "What is his license plate number?"

Liz flips through her notebook and says: "The license plate number is bld04..."

Sure enough!

This is a warning from the Five-Star Group!

Brandon instructs: "Liz, you follow up on one thing, let the finance department donate a sum of money, to the Five-Star Charity Foundation, 100 million Hong Kong dollars."

"It must be done today!"
