The Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank was a foreign-funded bank. Its full name was Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank Co., Ltd. Its English name was also called "Hong Kong", which meant "Remittance Abundance".
Of course, it was also the largest registered bank in Xiangjiang City and one of the three major banks. The headquarters is located at the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank Tower, 1 Queen's Road Central, Central. Currently, the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank and its various subsidiary companies have set up about 700 branches and offices in the Asia Pacific region.
Lin Yidong brought all the checks from his mother's funeral. In order to avoid trouble, it was better to deposit the money into his own account! In total, it was 2 million US dollars and less than 5 million Hong Kong dollars. To be able to get so much money just by calling him grandpa twice, it seemed that his identity was very important.
After completing the procedures, Lin Yidong went to the underground vault of the Hong Kong Bank. His grandfather had opened a safe here before his death. He wanted to see if he could take out some items. He was not in Xiangjiang. It was not a good idea to keep them in the headquarters of the Hong Kong Bank.
Seeing that it was a big client, the bank manager was very polite. Moreover, although Old Master Lin was in the martial arts world, he still respected them very much. Moreover, he would never bully the weak. He was very righteous. In addition, the safe was rented for 99 years, which showed how much trust he had in the bank.
If not for the special nature of the bank and the principle of confidentiality for customers, he would really want to publicize it.
Lin Yidong came to the safe. The bank staff inserted the key into the safe and left. Two keys were needed to open the safe. One was in the hands of the bank manager, and the other was in the hands of the customer.
Looking at the largest safe, Lin Yidong was full of anticipation. After all, it was so big, and with his grandfather's status, there should be many treasures inside.
After opening it, he was not disappointed. The bottom floor was filled with gold bars and, of course, some jewelry. It looked very expensive, and he thought that although people in Jianghu were very old-fashioned, the items they collected could really save lives at critical moments.
A rough estimate was that the gold bar should weigh more than 50 kilograms. This amount of wealth was not small, and it was considered the world's hard currency. However, he definitely couldn't bring it to America. That would only cause trouble for him.
The rest were the jewelry left behind by his mother. They were all women's items, and Lin Yidong was not interested in them. Although it was worth a lot of money, it was not easy to cash it out immediately after his mother died.
At this moment, a letter appeared in front of him. Moreover, the words "My son's house" were very obvious on the envelope, and it was obvious that this was a suicide note left for him.
Lin Yidong slowly opened the letter and read it.
[Yidong: When you read this letter, Mom will have already arrived in another world.] Two years ago, I found out that I had cancer, but I didn't tell anyone. I'm mainly worried that it will affect your studies. After all, your results make me, as a mother, willing to give everything.
Ever since elementary school, she had never embarrassed her mother. Although Grandpa doesn't have a good reputation, your academic results are something that no teacher can find fault with.
After graduating from high school, I didn't know what to say when the admission notice from Caltech was placed in front of my mother. He felt that all his years of hard work and effort had not been in vain.
"In the future, Mother will no longer be able to take care of you, but you can't give up on yourself. You must know how to protect yourself.
His mother had been an optimistic person since she was young. She liked to take risks and wander around. I met your father when I was traveling in Europe. If it wasn't for him, you might not have existed. However, Mother must be living a happier life than now. Of course, when she thinks of you, she doesn't have any complaints.
After a period of time, I found out that he had two wives, and they were both legally married. This was really hard to accept. Therefore, her mother chose to return to Xiangjiang.
However, at that time, Grandpa refused to acknowledge us as mother and son because of his pride and directly chased us out of the house.
I have no choice but to return to your father's side. Even if she had to share her husband with another woman, it was all worth it for her son.
But when you were eight, we had a bomb attack. But your father ran away with his eldest son, leaving you behind. From that moment on, I knew that in his heart, us mother and son were not that important, or even dispensable.
The throne itself has nothing to do with you. Even if you have the ability, the other members of the royal family will probably not agree.
Since I can never get it, plus Uncle Zhong informed me that my grandfather is dying. I brought you back to Xiangjiang City and never contacted your father again.
Don't blame mother for being ruthless, she is the most heartless of all imperial families, when you mature, you will know my difficulties.
Grandpa left you some assets. If you don't squander, it's enough for you to live a carefree life. Study hard after you arrive in the United States. Don't let your mother worry. Of course, I don't know if I can feel it, but remember one thing. Mommy will always love you.
Although he was reluctant, this was fate. I want to see my son become successful, but God won't give me this chance. If your father is looking for you, don't go back. The current situation in Egypt is very complicated. Although you are smart, you lack killing intent and will only lose your life in vain.
Remember! Remember! My son, your mother who loves you forever.
Although his mother's letter was very short, Lin Yidong was very touched. Recalling the memories of her mother, tears flowed down uncontrollably. After two lifetimes, this was the first time he felt the greatness of a mother's love.
At the same time, the memories that had been sealed away surfaced in his mind again.
He took out his passport and saw that the nationality column had the word 'Yemeni'.
It was located at the southwest end of the Arabian Peninsula, adjacent to the Arabian Peninsula and the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, and the Arabian Sea. Its coastline was 1906 kilometers long.
With a history of more than 3000 years, it was one of the cradles of ancient civilization in the Arab world. In the 14th century B.C., the dynasties of Mayin, Saba, and Simiarit were established. In 575 A.D., they were incorporated into the Persian Empire. In the 7th century, they became part of the Arabian Empire. In the 9th century, the Rashid Dynasty was established. In the 16th century, they were invaded and occupied by Portugal, the Turkish Empire, and the British Empire. In 1918, the Kingdom of Mutawakilia was established.
In 1934, the British forced the kingdom to recognize the British occupation of southern Jordan, and Jordan was officially divided into two parts. Originally, in September 1962, the Free Officers led by Abdalla Salal launched a revolution to overthrow the Badr Dynasty in the north and establish the Republic of Arabia.
Later, in 1967, South Jordan gained independence from British colonial rule and established the People's Republic of Korea. On May 22, 1990, the north and south Yemen were unified and the Republic of Yemen was established.
Perhaps due to historical deviation, in 1962, Abdalla Salal did not launch a mutiny. As a result, the Kingdom of Mutawakilia had always ruled the northern part of the country.
Lin Yidong's father was the King of Yemen, Salal Yahya. When he met his mother in Europe, he was just an ordinary prince. He was not qualified to inherit the throne at all. Therefore, he became the ambassador of Yemen to France.
However, due to internal problems in the royal family, Salal-Yahya was invited back to the country and directly inherited the throne. Xue Lin only found out after she returned to the country. He was simply a scumbag. He actually had two wives in the country and had a lot of children. However, the Arabian countries practiced polygamy, and so did the members of the royal family.
In a fit of anger, he returned to Xiangjiang City with the child in his arms. At that time, Salal Yahya was busy consolidating his throne and did not pay much attention to it. However, after they returned to Xiangjiang, their father, Lin Jing, did not acknowledge them at all. In the end, she could only return to Egypt. What status did a woman who left and returned immediately have?
After enduring for eight years, an accident changed Xue Lin's mind. The assassination operation in South Vietnam was very well planned. When he learned that King Salal Yahya had brought his family to the movies, he planted a bomb under the rostrum.
When the explosion sounded, King Salal Yahya immediately fled the scene with his eldest son, Crown Prince Yahya Ben Abdalla, without caring about Lin Yidong's life or death. Of course, Lin Yidong also had an Arabic name, Said Ben Yahya. Xue Lin was extremely disappointed by the man's actions. Hence, she never allowed her son to use Arabic names again.
After reading his mother's will and combining it with his childhood memories, he finally understood his identity. However, there was nothing now, so he had to endure it. As for inheriting the throne, he had never thought about it. The most important thing now was to earn money and expand their influence. Otherwise, everything would be empty talk.
With a goal, Lin Yidong instantly became different!
