Chapter 766 The person in charge is in place
After arranging matters and work in Hong Kong, Zhang Yunhe rushed to Shanghai without stopping.
The next morning after returning to Shanghai, Zhang Yunhe met with an unemployed bank manager named Qian Guangxin.
Zhang Yunhe asked Ah Gui to investigate him. Ah Gui had worked in several foreign banks in the foreign concessions for the previous twenty years. He had previously worked as a business manager at Citibank. He also co-founded a bank in the International Settlement together with several wealthy people. However, that bank could not withstand the economic wave and was targeted by its competitors. Due to rumors, many depositors came to run on the bank, and finally it went bankrupt and closed down.
"Mr. Zhang, is there anything you want to talk to me about?" Qian Guangxin asked.
Zhang Yunhe took a sip of his coffee and looked up at the other person. He asked, "Mr. Qian, you're quite famous in the Shanghai financial world. I heard you're unemployed now?"
Qian Guangxin looked at Zhang Yunhe and said, "Since Mr. Zhang asked me to meet, he must have done some research on me. Yes, I am currently unemployed at home."
Zhang Yunhe asked, "Have you ever thought about leaving Shanghai and going somewhere else? I'm planning to open a bank in Hong Kong Island with an investment of 10 million pounds. I've even got the license and the qualification to issue banknotes. I'm the majority shareholder, holding 90%, and the remaining 1000% is held by several major families in Hong Kong Island."
"If Mr. Qian has no other plans, I sincerely invite Mr. Qian to come and help me as the general manager of the bank. Mr. Qian can set any conditions you want!"
After hearing what Zhang Yunhe said, Qian Guangxin started to take it seriously, sat up straight, and asked, "Mr. Zhang, are you kidding me?"
Zhang Yunhe took out a cigar, lit it with a lighter, took a few puffs, looked at Qian Guangxin and said, "If Mr. Qian has any friends in Hong Kong Island, you can take the time to send a telegram to ask your friends if there is a bank called Harbour Bank that is undergoing renovations at this time. Check whether this bank is licensed and has the qualifications to issue banknotes."
"You may not believe what I say, but your friends won't lie to you, right?"
Qian Guangxin looked at Zhang Yunhe for two full minutes before saying, "I've heard of Mr. Zhang, but I didn't expect him to be so capable of raising 1000 million pounds to open a bank."
"I'm unemployed at home now, but I haven't thought about taking a job elsewhere!"
Zhang Yunhe asked with a smile, "I wonder if Mr. Qian has any knowledge of the international situation? The Japanese have allied with the Germans, and the Germans are at war with other powers. How long do you think the peace in the concession can last? If the Japanese decide to attack the foreign powers, will the concession still be safe?"
Zhang Yunhe's words made Qian Guangxin frown and asked, "Did Mr. Zhang receive any news?"
Zhang Yunhe said, "Of course I have my sources. It won't be long before the concession will cease to exist. The Japanese will march in. With the strength of the foreigners in the concession, they simply won't have the capital to resist. It will fall in a day, and by then it will be too late to escape."
"Mr. Qian, you are a wise man. You should understand that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. It is much safer to leave now than to leave later. Even if you don't go to Hong Kong Island to help me, you should take your family to other safe places for refuge and leave this place as soon as possible!"
Qian Guangxin thought for a moment and caught the loophole in Zhang Yunhe's words. "Mr. Zhang, if the Japanese want to attack foreigners, Hong Kong Island will also be their target of attack. Even if I take my family to Hong Kong Island, it will not be safe!"
Zhang Yunhe said, "Your consideration is correct. Even if a war breaks out, we can go to Ao Island before the war begins. It is neutral and the Japanese should not attack Ao Island. Besides, we are not powerless in Hong Kong Island. I currently have many armed merchant soldiers in Hong Kong Island, and the foreign troops also have nearly 20,000. If a war really breaks out, we can recruit some volunteers to join us."
"Since Mr. Qian knows me, Zhang, he should also know that I'm an arms dealer. As long as there are soldiers, I can supply weapons and ammunition. Currently, most of the weapons and ammunition in Jiangzhou are supplied by me. If the Japanese want to take over Hong Kong Island, it is absolutely impossible without the death of hundreds of thousands of people. I'm afraid they can't afford such heavy casualties!"
Qian Guangxin drank his coffee from the cup. He put it down until he finished it. Then he said, "Mr. Zhang, I want to be the general manager of Harbor Bank. If I ask for equity, would you give it to me?"
Zhang Yunhe smiled, put down his coffee cup, and said, "Mr. Qian, I can tell you right now that as long as the bank can develop and its assets increase under your management, I will not hesitate to provide equity incentives. We can discuss the specific equity incentive mechanism later. It's too early to discuss this now. After all, you haven't expressed your intention to accept my offer!"
Qian Guangxin thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhang, this is a big deal for me. Please give me two days to think about it. How about that?"
"Of course!" Zhang Yunhe said, and took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over. "Mr. Qian, if you have made up your mind, you can call me at this number. I'll be waiting for your call!"
"Okay, Mr. Zhang!"
In the next few days, Zhang Yunhe poached a number of senior financial talents from major banks in Shanghai with high salaries and benefits, and sent them to Hong Kong Island to assist He Pushan in his work.
Two days later, Zhang Yunhe was handling official business in the police office when a phone call came in. He answered the phone and said, "Hello?"
"Mr. Zhang, I'm Qian Guangxin. I've considered it carefully. I accept your offer and will be heading to Hong Kong Island to serve as the General Manager of Harbour Bank!"
Zhang Yunhe smiled and said, "Mr. Qian, welcome. If you are free at noon, let's have lunch together and discuss your salary and benefits."
"Okay, how about meeting at Hongfu Restaurant at 12 noon?" Qian Guangxin asked on the phone.
"Okay, see you at noon then?"
"See you at noon!"
At noon, Zhang Yunhe and Qian Guangxin met again and discussed salary and benefits while eating. The equity incentive could only be activated after Qian Guangxin made achievements.

Gold City.
"Sir, Sakata Tadayoshi is here!" In the office, the adjutant reported to Sakagami standing at attention.
Sakagaki looked up and said, "Let him in!"
"Hayi!"
Tadayoshi Sakata was brought in and the adjutant left and closed the office door.
Sakagaki looked at Sakata Tadayoshi and asked, "I heard you wanted to see me. You know my time is very valuable. Go ahead!"
Sakata Tadayoshi handed over a document and said, "Your Excellency, please take a look at this document. It records more than a dozen cases. We highly suspect that these cases were committed by the same person or group of people, but this group of people is too powerful. We can't deal with them using conventional means!"
Sakagami took the document and started reading it. At first he didn't care, but as he read on, his expression became serious.
After he finished reading, he raised his head, his face more serious than ever, and asked, "So many Imperial warriors have died or disappeared in these cases. Why are you reporting this only now?"
