"Turn on the lights!"

Looking at the dark vault illuminated by the tank's headlights, the major said loudly.

"Crack!"

The clone soldiers who had entered long ago had already found the light switch and immediately turned on the light after hearing the major's order.

The lights in the vault came on one after another, but due to the vibration caused by the explosion and the hundreds of armor-piercing bombs raging in the vault, at least half of the lights were damaged.

It didn't matter. The major, who had been well prepared, asked the soldiers to move eight high-power searchlights into the vault. Under the huge light of the searchlights, the entire vault was extremely bright, as bright as daytime.

Under the illumination of the light, people at the scene could clearly see everything in the vault.

Near the entrance of the cave.

Because too many armor-piercing bullets fragmented, it was a mess, just like a Category 12 typhoon blowing through. Gold bars were scattered everywhere, piled here and there.

Although scattered everywhere on the ground, these gold bricks sparkled under the light, making the entire vault look magnificent and attracting the attention of everyone present.

So beautiful, look at the unique luster of gold!

Countless viewers in front of the TV sighed.

This is not a vault robbery scene in a TV movie.

The gold in movies and TV shows is all fake, and is replaced with brass or iron blocks painted with paint. Although it looks almost the same as gold, the fake ones are just fake.

A rooster cannot become a phoenix even if it is equipped with wings.

It's different now.

This is the vault of HSBC Bank.

If someone says that the gold inside is fake, the first person to be upset should not be the robber but the HSBC executive.

"How much gold and foreign exchange are there? Is it more than what the Xiangjiang government has?" He picked up a gold brick from the ground and looked at the steel seal on it. The major turned back to the person in charge of the treasury who followed him and asked,

"Let the viewers in front of the TV know how rich HSBC, the uncrowned king of Hong Kong, is."

"The Hong Kong government's foreign exchange reserves are actually kept here, under the custody of HSBC. As for how much money there is here!"

As the person in charge of the treasury, the fat manager certainly knows how much wealth is stored in the underground vault of HSBC. To ordinary people, it is absolutely an astronomical figure.

It’s unthinkable!

Just knowing is one thing, saying it is another.

Especially if you say it in front of a camera, the whole world will know it, and the consequences will be quite serious.

The robbers patted their butts and walked away. Even if they tried to arrest them, they couldn't find anyone.

If you can't do it yourself, you are definitely the best scapegoat. With HSBC's shamelessness, if you reveal any useful information in front of the TV, you can expect to be punished.

Being shot eight times in the back and deciding to commit suicide is a basic operation.

Even if you show your superiority, you will be sent to jail for the rest of your life.

"If you don't tell me, I won't know." The major waved his hand and said with a smile, "Brothers, go to work and transport all the gold and foreign exchange to me.

These are the people's treasures that HSBC has been plundering for hundreds of years, and now they are all ours, all ours."

"Yes, it's all ours, hahaha!"

The major's words made the soldiers of the clone army laugh and began the work of transporting the gold.

Two tracked armored vehicles quickly drove down from above and opened the door at the back. The space originally used for soldiers was now used to transport gold.

The clone soldier drove the forklift, lifted up a pile of gold and put it into the armored vehicle, put it down, backed up, and then loaded another pile in. Several times in a row, the armored vehicle loaded more than fifty tons of gold and drove out of the vault.

What should I do if I can't get out of the big hole after reopening like this?

It doesn't matter!

The soldiers outside have already thought of this.

They used a tank as a trailer and used two thick steel wire ropes to connect the armored vehicle. With a strong force, they pulled the armored vehicle and more than 50 tons of gold out of the pit.

The whole process went smoothly, and within a few minutes, dozens of tons of gold were obtained.

"Visual inspection of the gold here should be XXXX tons, and the foreign exchange reserves should be XXX US dollars. If you include those bearer bonds, it is conservatively estimated to exceed 100 billion US dollars."

Watching carts of gold and foreign currency being pulled out of the vault, the major asked casually.

"Yes!"

After hearing the major say that the wealth in the vault exceeds 100 billion U.S. dollars, the manager of the treasury, Fat Manager, subconsciously replied, "If you include foreign exchange and bearer securities, the wealth here exceeds 180 billion U.S. dollars."

"USD 180 billion, a loss of so much money, it is estimated that HSBC will have a hard time getting through this, especially since it also contains the Hong Kong Eagle Government's foreign exchange reserves."

"Ignoring the ugly expression on the fat manager's face, the major laughed heartily and said: "If it were me, I would make a fortune by shorting HSBC in the stock market."

"Go to the HSBC ATM immediately to withdraw your deposit. HSBC is coming."

"Sell the HSBC stock to me, sell it immediately, don't keep a penny, use all your funds to short HSBC."

"Contact HSBC immediately. I can transfer the money to any bank. The money must not be deposited with HSBC."

"Convert Hong Kong dollars to US dollars immediately, immediately, immediately!"

The fat man from Asia Television and his colleagues carried two cameras and followed the major and others into the underground vault. They filmed the scene in the vault and the process of the soldiers loading gold and foreign exchange.

But it is a feast for the eyes of the audience in front of the TV.

Not only did I see the whole view of the HSBC Bank vault, but I could also see the golden gold and boxes of foreign exchange being loaded into armored vehicles. The beautiful scenery made many people salivate.

What an amazing wealth this is.

If you can give yourself, not too much, just one of these cars, you will immediately become a winner in life. Even if you spend your whole life eating, drinking, having fun and dating female celebrities, you will not be able to spend it all.

Another man followed the major closely, filming his every move, hoping to get big news.

The results lived up to the expectations!

The conversation between the major and the person in charge of the treasury was broadcast to all parts of the world through cameras. This was huge news.

When I heard that more than US$180 billion had been robbed from HSBC, which meant that HSBC would have a US$180 billion shortfall, the whole world was thrown into chaos.

In the 1990s, one hundred billion US dollars was a staggering figure.

This year's richest man in the world, excluding Lei Weidong, the unparalleled guy, the second place only has less than 10 billion US dollars. This is not cash, most of it is real estate and shares, which is literal wealth.

This is not because everyone has no money, but the rich people of the 1990s are not as good as the Internet tycoons of the 21st century who have money that is not money.

21 Due to the proliferation of the Internet economy, billionaires with hundreds of billions of dollars were born, but in the 1990s, even Uncle Bill.

This rich man who has topped the rich list of beautiful countries for many years in a row has a net worth of only about 10 billion US dollars.

One hundred billion US dollars is really a staggering number.

When everyone heard the news, they all had the thought that HSBC could not be saved, and even the Hong Kong Eagle government was in big trouble.

After all, their foreign exchange reserves were in HSBC and were stolen by the robbers.

Although you can claim compensation from HSBC.

But if HSBC goes bankrupt, the money will be wasted.

then!

Ordinary people who have no money rush to HSBC ATMs in various places to withdraw their deposits in HSBC.

Especially Xiangjiang!

Many people didn't even care about the news of the treasury robbery, and ran out of their homes at the speed of a 100-meter race to the nearest ATM to withdraw money.

Soon there was a long queue outside the automated bank. Obviously not one or two people responded quickly. Because there were too many people, many people were worried that they would not be able to withdraw money and even fought to get a front seat.

Got up.

Ordinary people with little money can go to automatic banks to withdraw money. However, wealthy people with large deposits in HSBC or tycoons who hold a large number of HSBC shares cannot.

There is a fixed limit for automatic bank withdrawals, with a maximum of 50,000 per day.

For the citizens of Xiangjiang, this amount of money is probably all their family property, but for the rich, it is not even enough for a meal.

In order to get their property back and recover their losses, they can only call HSBC and ask to come and withdraw the money the next day or transfer money directly.

Faced with the overwhelming number of calls for withdrawals and transfers, the directors of HSBC Bank were all confused.

Things are in trouble!

If no images of the scene were released when the robbers robbed the vault, then HSBC would definitely treat the robbery coldly, just like the assassination of President Kennedy in the United States.

He was the president of the most powerful country in the world, a beautiful country. The news of his assassination attracted more attention than the robbery and explosion of HSBC Bank.

As a result, the assassination case was not Pu Shumi.

The captured murderer died mysteriously a few days later. The mastermind behind it has never been found out, leaving everyone with endless suspense.

The same goes for the HSBC robbery.

For a bank with a century-old history, its vault is important, but its global business network is equally important. As long as it conceals that its vault has been robbed, it can use its global network to suck blood, and then sell off some unimportant industries.

For example, real estate, shares, registered bonds, and subsidiaries, HSBC may be able to avoid difficulties.
