Business as usual

Being Tai Pan of the Noble House does mean that occasionally one has no choice but to leave Hong Kong. At present I'm in the Netherlands, but my physical distance from the heart of the Noble House will not affect business, and our closest rivals (such as HKOB Holdings) are too busy reeling from the effect of their over-investment in US mortgage-backed securities to try and ruin our stock. However, I do have the matter of a missing half-coin weighing on my mind.
