Chapter 341 Opening a Bank Account
With a wave of his hand, everything that Li Qin had borrowed from the group of foreigners that night appeared on the coffee table in front of him.
Similar to last night, there was a pile of pounds, a pile of dollars, a pile of Hong Kong dollars, and finally a pile of standard-sized gold bars.
With a wave of Li Qin's hand, the cash and gold on the coffee table were automatically arranged neatly.
He immediately began to compile the statistics.
The results came out quickly.
More than 20,000 pounds;
More than 40,000 US dollars;
As for the Hong Kong dollars, it totaled more than 500,000;
In addition, there were six kilograms of gold.
"Although the harvest is not as good as last night, it's still quite a lot. At least the money should be enough for the short term."
Li Qin roughly estimated the amount of money in front of him, plus what he had gained the previous night.
The total amount is over £50,000, over US$90,000, and over HK$1.1 million.
Gold was the material Li Qin intended to use to make pure gold, so after completing the calculations, Li Qin simply put it away.
Even if I spend HK$700,000 to buy an apartment tomorrow, I will still have a lot of money left over.
A smile immediately appeared on Li Qin's face.
It wasn't that he liked money, but with this money, he could begin his subsequent plans.
With a pleasant feeling, Li Qin returned to his bedroom to rest.
Because he needed to open an account and deposit money at HSBC the next day, Li Qin didn't sleep in; instead, he woke up at nine in the morning.
I got up on time.
After getting up, Li Qin washed up and then took out some food that he had stored in advance from his storage ring and ate some.
After finishing his meal, he tidied himself up and then teleported away from the apartment.
When it reappeared, it was in a secluded corner not far from HSBC.
At this moment, Li Qin was dressed in clothes that looked extremely high-end.
The clothes accentuated Li Qin's extraordinary and refined demeanor.
Then Li Qin carried a suitcase and walked straight toward the HSBC building.
Next, Li Qin opened an account at HSBC using his new identity information and deposited some money into the account:
£50,000, US$90,000, and HK$100,000.
Now, all Li Qin has left is a little bit of British pounds, US dollars, and a little over 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.
These "small change" were what Li Qin had prepared for his daily expenses in Hong Kong.
Although HSBC is very large, currently the largest bank in Hong Kong,
However, they rarely encounter customers who deposit such a large sum of money at once.
After learning the amount of money Li Qin was planning to deposit, the bank manager personally went out to handle the relevant procedures for Li Qin.
During this process, the bank manager also subtly inquired about Li Qin's whereabouts from time to time.
Whether it's Li Qin's identity, the source of his wealth, or his future plans...
Li Qin wasn't stupid either. After seeing through these things, he answered what he could and made excuses for what he couldn't answer.
However, when the manager heard that Li Qin was planning to open a transshipment trading company in Hong Kong, he became even more amiable.
After all, entrepot trade can be very profitable, provided that Li Qin's company can be successfully established and that the channels can be opened up.
Even though many things are still unknown, it doesn't stop the manager from trying to curry favor with Li Qin.
As for why?
That's pretty obvious; they want Li Qin to deposit more money into HSBC.
Li Qin, who was also aware of the manager's thoughts, didn't say anything more.
He just smiled and agreed verbally.
Originally, Li Qin didn't want to waste words with the other party, but after inadvertently hearing that money could be exchanged for gold at the bank.
Li Qin, however, changed his attitude.
Li Qin may not care about money, but gold is a different story.
Once you've made initial contact with the manager, you might actually be able to exchange your extra money for what you need through them in the future.
And so, the two, each with their own thoughts, ended up having a rather pleasant conversation.
At least the atmosphere seemed very good.
After finishing his business, Li Qin politely declined the manager's offer to treat him to lunch and then left.
When Li Qin came out of HSBC, his suitcase was empty.
However, in return, Li Qin found himself with a stack of blank checks.
In the future, if there are large monetary transactions in Hong Kong, Li Qin can use checks instead of carrying cash.
After leaving HSBC, Li Qin did not choose to Apparate to Hung Kwong Law Firm.
Instead, they hailed a taxi on the roadside.
Although there are no taxis in mainland China now, Hong Kong does.
Strictly speaking, taxis already existed on Xiangjiang Island in the 1920s, and the service was extended to Kowloon in 1926.
However, taxi fares are relatively high, so most people choose to take the bus instead.
Moreover, double-decker buses are now considered one of Hong Kong's distinctive features.
Li Qin is not short of money, so naturally he would not choose to take a slow, crowded, and uncomfortable bus.
"Hey handsome, where are you going?"
As soon as Li Qin sat down in the back of the taxi, the driver immediately asked him a question.
Li Qin smiled slightly, and then skillfully stated the destination in Cantonese;
"Go to Hung Kwong Law Firm!"
Hearing Li Qin's fluent Cantonese, a hint of disappointment flashed in the driver's eyes.
However, he nodded and then started the vehicle and drove towards Hung Kwong Law Firm.
As for why the driver was disappointed, Li Qin knew perfectly well.
These drivers are all sharp-eyed people. They could tell from Li Qin's clothes that he was definitely a rich man, and he had just hailed a taxi outside HSBC Bank.
This further demonstrates that Li Qin is definitely rich.
If Li Qin's response to the driver's question had made the driver realize that he was from out of town or had just arrived in Hong Kong, then he would have been a better person.
The driver will definitely try to travel a longer distance.
This way, they can earn more money from Li Qin for the fare.
As a result, Li Qin spoke fluent Cantonese with a strong local accent as soon as he opened his mouth.
This led the driver to believe that Li Qin was a local.
Thus, his plan failed.
The driver would naturally feel disappointed.
Before coming to Hong Kong, Li Qin had done research on the local customs and culture, so he naturally knew these intricacies.
Although Li Qin didn't value money much, he didn't want to be taken advantage of.
Even with the help of navigation systems in later generations, those who are most familiar with city routes are still the taxi drivers.
After confirming that Li Qin was a "local," the driver didn't try anything funny and took Li Qin to the entrance of Hong Guang Law Firm in the shortest possible time via the fastest route.
The entire process took much less time than Li Qin had anticipated.
This pleased Li Qin greatly, so when he got out of the car, in addition to the fare, he also gave the driver a tip.
This has always been Li Qin's stance.
He can't stand being taken advantage of, but when he's in a good mood, he doesn't mind spending a little more money.
Upon receiving the generous tip from Li Qin, the driver's disappointment vanished instantly, and he thanked Li Qin with great excitement.
Because Li Qin is genuinely generous.
The tip alone was more than the fare.
