In the study of a manor outside London, several well-dressed gentlemen sat together, talking with very unkind expressions.
"The hole in HSBC is too big. There is no way to save it. It can only go bankrupt."
"It's easy to go bankrupt, but the losses are huge. Centenary Bank doesn't know how much profit it makes for us every year. When this happens, not only is there no profit, but our money in it is also gone."
"What can we do if we don't go bankrupt? The hole of more than 100 billion US dollars is still visible. The key is that HSBC's credit has fallen to a low point, and it is too difficult to support it.
The storm of runs has formed, and it is too difficult to suppress it. "
"Then what to do with our money? It's just lost."
"Don't worry about this. HSBC has recovered a lot of funds from selling assets and can make up for our losses first."
"Ordinary people don't care about other people's losses. The key is those banks and the Hong Kong government. If they default on their debts, the impact will be very bad."
"We must pay compensation. We at Eagle Empire are gentlemen and we are the most trustworthy... However, because all the deposit information of HSBC Bank has been lost, we don't know how much everyone's deposits are.
It can be said that everyone should wait for a while, wait for us to restore the system, and we will pay a little bit. "
"The pressure we will face will be great, and we will not be able to offend the backdoor capital of some banks."
"This is not an issue that cannot be offended. Gentlemen, it's not that we don't want to pay back the money, it's just that the hole is too big and there's nothing we can do about it.
What we are thinking about now is not to pay back the money, but to get through the difficulties. You know, the influence of HSBC has spread to Southeast Asia and Japan.
If we don't have enough money, the loss will be far more than an HSBC bank. "
"Where can we find money now? You also said that the economic crisis is coming. Everyone has started to withdraw money and there is no place for loans. How can we ask the Bank of England to come forward?"
"The Bank of England is our trump card and cannot be used until the end. We can take money from the colonies." said the fat old man who was obviously the boss of a group of gentlemen.
"Over the years, we have been working hard to maintain a huge colony, and we are no longer able to do what we can. Now it is time for them to report to the empire. Canada, Australia, and Hong Kong, as long as they are members of the British Commonwealth, must give blood to the empire."
"Places like Canada and Australia are easy to deal with. Hong Kong, this crisis is caused by Hong Kong. Their losses are greater than ours. The Hong Kong government's reserves are gone, but they can still use money to support us."
"Hong Kong is one of the Four Little Dragons. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. There are many rich people. Even if you squeeze in billions of dollars, you can still make it!"
"It's true that you can get it by squeezing a few billion dollars. Even if you target those officials, tens of billions is a piece of cake. But will the mainland do it?"
"As long as the mainland is not disrupted, there will be no objections, not to mention that Xiangjiang is still our territory."
"Okay, I'll just let you ask Xiangjiang to come up with the money, but Xiangjiang has huge internal forces, especially Lei Weidong, whose influence in Xiangjiang has exceeded ours. It will be difficult if he objects to our request for money."
"Fake, Xiangjiang is our territory. How could there be such a weird thing as Lei Weidong? The Hong Kong Governor is too incompetent. Why don't we change him?"
"This has nothing to do with Hong Kong. First of all, Lei Weidong is very hidden. He was very close to us when he was studying in Eagle Country. If it weren't for his skin color, he would have entered CIA6.
So after he returned to Xiangjiang, he was under the special care of the Xiangjiang police force. He changed from inspector to superintendent in a few years. When he found out that his butt was working in the mainland, he couldn't hold it anymore. "
"Yes, Harry is right. In addition, Xiangjiang is about to return. From the governor to the department staff, they are not thinking about doing things but making money. They will use this opportunity to make enough money for a lifetime. For Lei Weidong let his guard down and let him find out."
"We cannot continue like this. Xiangjiang is the territory of the empire. Even if we return, we cannot give up our interests. Lei Weidong must be suppressed. Mrs. M, this requires the support of your intelligence department."
"Gentlemen, I also hope to attack Xiangjiang, but after the Prime Minister came to power, Europe has cut too much funding for our intelligence department. Now we are somewhat unable to maintain the European and beautiful countries.
There is really nothing they can do in Asia. Unless they can give me money, there is nothing they can do even if I, an old woman, are fired. "
"Mrs. M, insufficient funds are not the reason for intelligence failure. 007 is the most elite agent in the world. How can he be unable to deal with a city's richest people?"
"you mean?"
"Get rid of him and let Lei Weidong serve us, or kill him. Xiangjiang is too important to us and must be controlled by us."
"Yes, but I need the support of gentlemen, and the current Hong Kong governor of Hong Kong is too weak. I hope to send a powerful person over to cooperate with us in taking down Lei Weidong."
"No problem. Although the Governor's family is very powerful, the influence of HSBC is too great. It's time to change someone. Well, let Sir Peng go.
Not only has he served as the Minister of Environment, he is also one of the leaders of the Conservative Party. He performed very well in the general election some time ago. He is a capable person. Let him go to Xiangjiang and he will definitely bring surprises to everyone. "
"Sir Peng, he is indeed very capable." Upon hearing that Sir Peng was asked to serve as the governor of Xiangjiang, Mrs. M nodded to express her recognition of his ability.
"No matter, gentlemen, the situation in Xiangjiang is complicated. There are not only local gangsters like Lei Weidong, but also forces from the mainland. I hope to get the privilege so that we can secretly execute some people if necessary.
Kill the chickens to scare the monkeys and let those rubbish know how powerful the empire is. "
"Yes, I will give you the privilege. As long as you are strong enough to control Xiangjiang, you can kill whoever you want, but you must keep it secret. I don't want the mainland to protest."
"Don't worry, I will let them die without anyone noticing. No matter what, sir, I need funds. Money can make people go around, but without money, I can't do anything."
"This won't work. Funds are already very tight, so we can't increase expenses for your intelligence department."
"If you don't have money, gentlemen, you all know that the people under my command are generous when they can do things. If you don't have money, how can you let them act?"
"You can raise your own funds. There are so many rich people in Xiangjiang, so you can just find some funds."
"Look for some rich men, sir. You don't look like gentlemen, you look like medieval executioners."
"Haha, the Empire is a bandit. The eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother. The same goes for your intelligence department. Don't worry, Sir Peng will wipe your ass."

"With these words, I feel relieved."
