Break out of the courtyard

Monday, August 1985, 8.

The Peace Group held a press conference and announced:

Heping Group holds 51.2% of Huifeng Bank’s shares!

Auntie Investment Co., Ltd. changed its name to Peace Investment Co., Ltd. and launched fund business!

Heping Real Estate, Heping Audit, Heping Law Firm and Umbrella became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Heping Group.

...

Hong Kong Island, top floor conference room of Huifeng Bank.

"Stepmother Investment Company will use the shares of Huayingxiong Company as collateral to borrow 400 billion magnesium yuan from you. The borrowed funds will be used to acquire companies and factories in Japan. Then, Stepmother Investment will use the assets of these Japanese companies and factories as collateral to borrow 8 trillion yen from you for other investments in Japan. It's that simple!"

After Zhang Heping finished speaking, he calmly looked at the bank representatives in the conference room.

"Mr. Zhang, Huayingxiong's assets can only be used to borrow 300 billion magnesium yuan at most. Do you want to consider adding other collateral, such as shares of Hong Kong Island Telecom and renewable energy companies?" The president of the Hong Kong Island branch of Mitsubishi Bank of Japan laughed obscenely, "If you can mortgage the shares of the Peace Group, hehe..."

As the Japanese man spoke, he looked at the representatives of the five major investment banks in Magnesium with a smile, as if to say that the Magnesians really wanted shares in Peace Group.

Zhang Heping did not respond, and his concubine Chen Shuting and a group of legal and financial staff beside him did not say a word.

Although Chen Shuting and others are the executors of the Heping Group, the right to speak lies with Zhang Heping, and the bank representatives attending the meeting also collectively requested Zhang Heping to attend this meeting!

The 51% stake in Hong Kong Island Telecom under the name of Stepmother Investment Co., Ltd. has been mortgaged to Huifeng Bank and Standard Chartered Bank, and the borrowed money has been lent to Huayingxiong Company to invest in Ridao Dongdu Real Estate.

In addition to Hua Yingxiong and Hong Kong Island Telecom, the only investment under Stepmother's name is "This Is Not Science Publishing House".

Although the Science Press owns four TV stations, eight major newspapers and a number of unknown magazines in Hong Kong and Macau, it is not very valuable.

"Mr. Zhang, I heard that your Tingmei Trading Company has stockpiled a batch of high-configuration computers and servers. Can you use those goods as investment targets? We can help you set up a fund to raise funds!" The representative of Morgan Bank of Magnesium looked at Zhang Heping seriously.

Zhang Heping looked at the blond and blue-eyed man from Magnesium and said calmly, "Tingmei Trading currently has a stockpile of high-configuration computers and servers worth 118 billion magnesium yuan. If you want them, I can sell them to you without a discount."

Chen Shuting, who was standing by, almost laughed out loud when she heard the words "no discount". Fortunately, she covered her mouth with her hand in time, but she couldn't hide her smiling eyes.

When the Taiwanese heard that Zhang Heping was willing to sell computers and servers, they all started talking in low voices.

Bank representatives from Japan, Europe, Hong Kong, New Taipei City and other places were also very interested, but Bank of China and Huifeng Bank were relatively calm.

The representative of the Morgan Bank of Magnesium asked with a hint of anticipation: "Mr. Zhang, if we purchase this batch of high-configuration computers and servers, can we send some students from Magnesium to study computers at the Peace Vocational Training College?"

Zhang Heping was silent for a while. Seeing that the other bank representatives were looking at him, he replied calmly, "Hand over those robbers, or there will be no deal!"

These guys wanted to do business with the Peace Group, so naturally they investigated the Peace Group from top to bottom countless times.

So, after Zhang Heping said the word "robbers", representatives from other banks looked at the people from Magnesium and South Korea.

"Mr. Zhang!" The representative of Sumitomo Bank of Japan broke the brief silence and said with a smile on his face: "We can help you contact the buyer and buy all your computers and servers."

A representative of Hijima Fuji Bank also echoed: "We are willing to help, too!"

The representative of Dai-ichi Kangyo Bank hurriedly followed up, "We are also willing to help! If Mr. Zhang can convince the mainland to sell its high-end computer production line, we can also help you find a buyer!"

"NO!" The magnesium guys were not happy about this, because entering the Peace Group to study computer technology was a political achievement that would increase the prestige of the congressmen they supported!

The key point is that after magnesium obtained support from the mainland and established an electronic transaction security monitoring center and UnionPay server, its financial companies urgently needed a batch of high-configuration computers!

Although the Peace brand computer sells for 1 magnesium yuan each, a high-configuration Peace computer has been sold for 9 magnesium yuan on the black market in Magnesium.

Moreover, high-configuration computers are more suitable for office work in financial companies. This is the "no lag" experience gained by financial companies in Hong Kong, Japan and Europe.

"Mr. Zhang, I talked to you about that batch of high-configuration computers and servers first. Please allow me to make a call back to the headquarters and feedback your conditions." The representative of Morgan Bank of Magnesium said, taking out his mobile phone and preparing to go out.

"You can talk to Tingmei Trading later about the computer. Let's continue talking about borrowing money!" Zhang Heping said calmly, "With my investment of 400 billion magnesium yuan and 8 trillion yen in Ridao, and your funds following suit, the real estate in Ridao Dongdu is bound to rise a lot!"

"So, for the Huayingxiong Company shares mortgage loan, we have to borrow 400 billion magnesium yuan, not a penny less! In addition, I have to remind you that the Heping Group is not short of this money, it just needs some business partners who will stand together with us!"

Business partner!

In the capital market where the big fish eat the small fish, 8 trillion yen in leverage is such a terrifying capital force that even Wall Street dare not confront it head-on!

These bank representatives not only want to make money with the Peace Group, but also want to secretly suck blood from the Peace Group. They also want to conspire with other capitals to swallow up the 8 trillion yen, and even want to drag the Peace Group into hell and take away all their technology!

Therefore, this investment in Ridao is an opportunity!

The representatives of Japan Mitsubishi Bank and Sakura Bank looked at each other, and then the representative of Japan Sakura Bank asked meaningfully: "Mr. Zhang, is the Peace Group willing to provide a guarantee?"

Zhang Heping ignored this nonsense.

He has already used the shares of Huayingxiong Company as collateral, what other guarantees does he need?

It’s not a credit loan!

What's more, that is the home ground of the Japanese, and they can influence Japanese policy at any time.

Given the greed of the Japanese, how could they miss such a good opportunity to attract investment!

Miss Suzuki, who was sitting in the corner, and Congressman Aso, who led the team, both had complicated feelings.

They also knew that the previously offered loan agreement with Japan Bank had many restrictions; they just didn't expect that Zhang Heping would not even give them a second chance for negotiation, but directly launch a global open bidding for the loan, as if they were afraid that others would not know that they were going to invest in Japan!

"Huifeng Bank agrees to lend 20 billion magnesium yuan!" Huifeng Bank Chairman Shen Bi said, and handed the signed loan agreement to Wei Daban and handed it to Zhang Heping.

20 billion magnesium yuan is 5% of Huayingxiong Company's shares.

In addition, the annual interest rate of 15% offered by Zhang Heping is much higher than the current savings rate of 8.37% in Magnesium.

Considering the loan period of 5 years, the interest income from this transaction is 75%, which is enough to attract these bankers.

"Mr. Zhang, the annual interest rate needs to be raised to 18%!" said the representative of Swiss Bank, but received no response.

"BOC lends 28 billion magnesium yuan!" The president of the Bank of China Hong Kong Island Branch handed four signed loan agreements to the secretary, who then handed them over to Zhang Heping.

After Zhang Heping received the loan agreement, he simply handed it to Chen Shuting next to him, and asked her to sign and stamp it.

"Standard Chartered Bank lends 20 billion magnesium dollars!"

"London Bank lends 20 billion magnesium dollars!"

Other banks suspected that these four banks were hired by the Peace Group, but after Sumitomo Bank of Japan, Fuji Bank, Sanwa Bank, and Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank successively lent 4 billion U.S. dollars and took away 40% of the shares of Huayingxiong Company, other banks also rushed to make offers.

"Mitsubishi Bank lends 40 billion magnesium dollars!"

"Sakura Bank lends 40 billion magnesium dollars!"

As the six major banks in Japan reported the amount and quickly submitted the loan agreement, only 6% of Huayingxiong Company's shares were available for mortgage.

The remaining 72 billion magnesium yuan loan was preemptively submitted to the three Defarge and Swiss banks for loan agreements before the five major investment banks in the country had agreed on their respective proportions.

Zhang Heping looked at the slow-reacting bank representatives and said with a smile, "A loan of 400 billion magnesium yuan is enough!"

"Please wait a moment!" The representative of the Morgan Bank of Magnesium said hurriedly, "We need to discuss the loan amount with the six banks in Japan."

The five major investment banks in Magnesium were very worried that Zhang Heping would not take them to visit Japan because he did not borrow money from them.

As the elites of Wall Street, they have long known that Magnesium is forcing Japan to appreciate the yen and has plans to devalue the magnesium dollar.

Because they are the ones pushing forward this plan!

In addition, the United States of America also falsely accused the Japanese of manipulating the exchange rate, and proposed that it would not return Okinawa Island unless Japan appreciated the yen and restricted exports.

Therefore, once the two countries reach a plan to appreciate the yen and depreciate the magnesium dollar, a large amount of magnesium dollars will flow into Japan to avoid exchange rate risks.

Zhang Heping's public borrowing of 400 billion U.S. dollars and his claim that he would borrow 8 trillion yen to invest in Japan undoubtedly seized on the information of the appreciation of the yen and added fuel to the fire.

It can be predicted that in the near future, there will be a financial feast in Japan, and countless capital giants will fight bloody battles in Japan.

If the five major investment banks in Magnesium cannot participate in the capital operation of Peace Group, they will become enemies of Peace Group, making the already bad relationship worse!

Finally, the six major banks in Japan changed the loan agreement and lent 6 billion magnesium yuan each with the five major investment banks in Magnesium, each holding 5% of the shares of Huayingxiong Company.

The Chinese banks in Hong Kong were still a little confused. It was normal for them to not be able to attract deposits from the Zhang family, but today they came rushing over to lend money, only to find out that they were not even qualified to sit at the table and talk.

After Zhang Heping and his concubine Chen Shuting signed all the agreements, they stood up and said, "Thank you all for attending the meeting. We will discuss the Japanese yen loan next time. If you are willing to cooperate, please prepare Japanese yen in advance and contact Stepmother Investment Co., Ltd."

After the representative of the Morgan Bank of Magnesium received their two loan agreements, he hurriedly asked, "Mr. Zhang, since you are borrowing so much money, do you need us to provide you with fund services?"

"Let's talk about these businesses after your funds are in place!" Zhang Heping replied casually, and then shook hands and said goodbye to the representatives of other banks one by one.

There are currently 311 regulated funds in Hong Kong Island, of which only 18 are listed on the stock exchange. It can be said that the development is very slow.

Most of these registered funds are unit trust funds, which the Peace Group can operate on its own. It only needs to raise money through a trust, have it managed by a bank, and then direct the fund manager to invest, since the money is borrowed anyway.

Only the public funds set up by Peace Investment Co., Ltd. for the rich ladies of Peace Real Estate are a little more troublesome and need to comply with Hong Kong's "Unit Trust and Mutual Fund Code", "Securities Ordinance", "Trustees Ordinance", "Protection of Investors Ordinance" and so on.

After the bank representatives left, Zhang Heping called out to Ou Yanzi, the head of Hua Yingxiong Company, who was sitting in the corner. "Manager Ou, have you made up your mind? Do you want to accept Hua Yingxiong's current value of 400 billion yuan, or bet on the market value of Hua Yingxiong in a few years?"

Ou Yanzi smiled and said, "I listen to the boss!"

Zhang Heping smiled and nodded, "Then let's wait until the yen appreciates!"

"Teacher Ou!" Chen Shuting explained, "We invited you back this time to let you know about the tax avoidance operation of the group. Otherwise, Huayingxiong Company will have to face a 50% corporate profit tax, and our losses will be huge!"
