Section 395 Withdrawal of 2 Billion Hong Kong Dollars
"Master, don't worry. I don't think the young masters are the prodigal people. I can only say that they are still inexperienced and a little immature. Compared with the Kong family, they are nothing compared to the Kong family. It’s about the same, but the Kong family’s influence in Hong Kong and Macau is still not small, and it’s not easy to go to war with the Kong family. Don’t pursue the faults of the young masters, but how to deal with the invasion of the energy group. The master can see this. It means that the master is still very accurate, as for the countermeasures, I think it is better for us not to stand out, after all, there are many families in Hong Kong and Macau that are stronger than us, why should we come out like this?" He Sen's words are basically tantamount to not saying, but at present, there is no way to do it. The energy group is doing well, but our He family has been operating in Macau for so many years. It is not a small family with no foundation, nor are they saying You can pinch it.
Although Stanley Ho was dissatisfied with this answer, he could bear it if he wanted to say a few words, but his sons almost pissed him off. He gave them shares because he was afraid that something would happen to him and let them take care of them. It’s been a lie, the Kong family didn’t take themselves seriously at all by doing this, the chaotic society is all about saving face, and the Kong family’s doing so gave a very bad signal to the Hong Kong and Macau consortium, just when Stanley Ho thought of something At that moment, a steward came in in a hurry, and it looked like something urgent had happened.
"My lord, something is wrong. Li Cong, chairman of the energy group's board of directors, brought a group of people to Ho's Bank to withdraw 2 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash, but our cash in Macau is less than 1 billion. He is causing a run on It's a storm." The manager ignored He Sen's angry face and said as soon as he came in.
Stanley Ho was almost at a loss. What is this Li Cong doing? He hasn't looked for him yet, but he came to him first, asking for 2 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash? Isn't this going to close your own bank? Although Ho's Bank is not a large bank, it is still one of the most important financial institutions in Macau. At this moment, where can I find so much cash? The treasury is still in Hong Kong. On the other hand, if the reserve fund in Hong Kong is used, it will be reported that the capital chain of the group is tight, and the stock price will plummet, and the loss caused is not a small number.
Macau, Lobby of Ho Bank
Several managers were anxiously waiting for the phone call. This was something that hadn't happened in decades. Ho's Bank is the property of the king of gambling. It happened this year, and it just shows that the person who is looking for trouble is not afraid of his backstage boss at all. Thinking of the young man who just walked to the front desk, took out a black card, and opened his mouth to withdraw two billion Hong Kong dollars in cash. The manager shuddered all over.
If you want 2 billion cash in other banks, there is a buffer time, or you can prepare money for you, or you need other banks to jointly prepare for insufficient funds, you can fool it, at least you can win In a few days, the main partners of He Bank are several major casinos, and the daily cash transactions are also hundreds of millions. You can use the money to directly buy chips from major casinos at He Bank, so He Bank used to have a The rule is that no matter how much cash the customer asks for, it must be exchanged for the customer. The upper limit is two billion Hong Kong dollars. This rule is not convenient for some serious people, but it is not convenient for some big drug lords in the Golden Triangle. It is very necessary, their money will never go through the bank, and using a car to pull cash is a portrayal of them, but they are only tens of millions, and there is absolutely no way to directly withdraw 2 billion like today.
"I said, is your bank okay? The newspapers said that you have hundreds of billions in deposits. Why can't you get out two billions? I told my daughter that I would use banknotes to build her a building when I go home. You guys If you don’t have any money for me today, if my daughter is upset, I’ll show you off.” This was the third time Li Cong got angry at the counter in half an hour.
The managers had no choice but to smile carefully. No one dared to bully the He family like this before. The security guards at the bank originally wanted to go up and down, but seeing that these people were all wearing the logo of the National Security Bureau, they thought about it Forget it, don't make yourself uncomfortable, even the police at the gate dare not come over and say something, after all, they didn't come to rob the bank, but came to the bank to withdraw money through formal procedures.
"How is it? Is there any news from the master? If you don't give this master an answer, I think they will come and snatch it." A bank manager asked the secretary while wiping the sweat from his forehead. It is certain to get out after the fact, look at the reporters at the door, they will definitely exaggerate such a thing, maybe tomorrow, no, there will be a run on here in the afternoon.
"We have called several times. The master just said let us bear it first. He will figure out a way. The second master (He Sen) has come over. Thirty accountants in our bank are already counting the money, but we only have A little over one billion in cash, most of the money was shipped back to Hong Kong last night, should we first notify the casino to pay the account in advance this month?" A secretary was sweating more than the boss, he was a novice , I have never seen a client who wants to withdraw two billion Hong Kong dollars.
The method he mentioned is also a method, but it is too risky. You must know that the casino only pays half of the monthly income to He's Bank at the end of the month, and the rest must be kept as capital. It is uncertain when a high-roller who gambles hundreds of millions will come out. If the money from there is used to save the emergency here, in case something happens to the casino, it will not be able to afford it. No matter how important He's Bank is It is also an accessory of the casino. If the casino is in trouble, it is useless for the bank to keep it.
Just as he was thinking about it, three high-end cars appeared at the door. The unique car brands of the gambling industry group, the meticulous drivers and bodyguards all showed the dignity of the people in the cars. In front of the younger generation, he held the second master's airs. Even the chief executive of Macau a few years ago had to obediently call him second uncle when he saw him. When the managers saw the backbone coming, they all adjusted their clothes and went to the door to greet him.
Li Cong was still waiting in the rest area with his people, and he knew that the person at the door should be in charge, otherwise he would not have such a big shelf, he just wanted to see if there was any He family in Macau. That skill, if you can get two billion, it's a skill, if you can't, it's just a vain name.
Others don't know the details of the He family, and they all say that the He family has a big business, but Stanley Ho's assets alone are 50 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the family assets exceed 100 billion. It is not easy to take out a mere 2 billion , but what they don't know is that assets are assets, not cash. In the past, the old man of the He family didn't need to open his mouth, even if the young masters below want money, they will be offered immediately. But in such an extraordinary period, who would dare Give Li Cong an excuse to make his family a target of the energy group?
