Chapter 608: Japanese Islanders Go Crazy

"The 1 trillion yen loan can only be used for investment in Japan or purchase of Japanese products!"

"The annual interest rate of the loan is 3%, the loan term is 10 years, and there is a 10% penalty for early repayment!"

"Mr. Chen, this loan agreement also requires collateral. Just based on this clause, countless banks are willing to lend us money!"

"Mr. Chen, this loan agreement from Ridao Bank has too many restrictions. I don't recommend borrowing money from them!"

"Mr. Chen, our group has 147 billion magnesium dollars and 628 billion Hong Kong dollars in its account, and Tingmei Trade has 156 billion magnesium dollars in its account. There is absolutely no need to borrow money from Ridao Bank!"

……

Chen Shuting simply brought the loan agreement left by Miss Suzuki to the group meeting for discussion, but was opposed by managers from various departments.

After all the managers calmed down, Chen Shuting said slowly, "Since everyone is against the loan agreement of Japan Island Bank, let's start discussing the second topic of this meeting."

"How can we get 4 trillion yen in available funds without using our group's funds?"

As soon as Chen Shuting finished speaking, a buzz of discussion immediately rose in the conference room.

"The recent exchange rate of Japanese yen to magnesium dollar seems to be 230 to 1. 4 trillion yen is about 175 billion magnesium dollars!"

"4 trillion yen! It's really difficult to do it without going through the Japan Island Bank!"

"Why does the group suddenly need so much yen? Are they going to acquire some company in Japan?"

Chen Shuting waited for a while, but no one spoke. She immediately used her trump card, "I'll give you one week. You can send your proposals to my email in your personal name or in the name of your team. For each proposal that is adopted, I will reward you 100 million magnesium yuan!"

Hearing such a high reward, someone immediately spoke up, "Mr. Chen, does it have to be 4 trillion yen? Can it be less?"

Chen Shuting nodded slightly, "Okay! I don't expect to get 1 trillion yen with just one plan, but you have to clearly state the amount and operation method in the plan."

After the meeting, Chen Shuting took her niece Chang Wen, who was sitting in the corner attending the meeting, to the office on the top floor of the Economic and Trade Building.

Chen Shuting glanced at Chang Wen, who seemed to be in a daze, and had no intention of helping her solve the problem.

Chang Wen was about to study economics at Renmin University, so Zhang Heping arranged for her to be Chen Shuting's assistant so that she could broaden her horizons.

The requirement for her is to watch more, listen more and talk less.

Zhang Heping arranged for his eldest son Zhang Bei and nephew Zhang Yi, who majored in computer science and technology, to go to Zhuhai Computer Industrial Park to learn about hardware production and Chinese system optimization there.

Zhou Xiaochun, my cousin who studied journalism, went to the newspaper for an internship with a female bodyguard, just like Huang Wenli did.

Since the year before last, mainland universities have counted foreign language scores 100% towards the total college entrance examination score for admissions.

Chang Wen, Zhang Yi, Zhou Xiaochun and others were successfully admitted to universities in the capital because of their good performance in Eagle Language and the advantage of having a Beijing hukou.

Therefore, Chang Le, Zhang Ting, Zhou Xiaopeng and others stayed in the villa on the top of Victoria Peak, focusing on learning Eagle Language.

...

The news that Peace Group was planning 4 trillion yen spread throughout Hong Kong Island within two days after managers of various departments of Peace Group told their employees.

As if to confirm this fact, Chen Shuting, general manager of Peace Group, has recently visited many banks and received visits from many banks.

After assigning a task to Chen Shuting, Zhang Heping returned to the affairs of the hospital and the Medical Research Institute.

The Plaza Accord had not yet been signed, so Zhang Heping was not in a hurry to go to Japan to raise money.

He has already facilitated electronic trading on the Japanese stock market. By transferring shares from one hand to the other to raise stock prices, he can easily transfer the assets of Huayingxiong Company.

However, doing so would damage the international reputation of the Peace Group, unless Zhang Heping wanted the Peace Group to remain in Hong Kong Island.

So, he was waiting, waiting for the Plaza Accord to come out, and then he would enter Japan together with other foreign capital to make money!

Huang Wenli's most recent rotation position is deputy manager of the public relations department of Peace Group.

After the last group meeting, she passed on the news of the 4 trillion yen and also reported the funds in the account that the finance manager had let slip.

What does it mean that Heping Group has more than 30 billion magnesium yuan in its account?

In the past two years, the mainland has introduced foreign equipment and production lines at a total cost of less than 30 billion magnesium yuan, and the mainland's current foreign exchange reserves are less than billion magnesium yuan!

In the past six years, Japan's paid loans to the mainland were only 6 billion yuan, and its free aid was 18.6 million yuan.

Speaking of the loan to Japan, Zhang Heping is still waiting for a response from the Bank of China.

Before 1972, the mainland had been demanding 500 billion yuan in war reparations from Japan!

It can be said that if Japan had paid this money in the first place, the country’s technological development would definitely have been taken to a higher level!

But Japan kept playing tricks, and Chiang Kai-shek was crazy. After the counterattack became hopeless, he actually exempted Japan from war reparations in the name of Taiwan!

At this point, Japan is even more unwilling to pay war reparations!

The turning point came when Magnesium visited the mainland in 1972. Under Magnesium's mediation, the mainland changed its thinking and proposed a "aid instead of compensation" plan.

Therefore, after establishing diplomatic relations with Japan, the mainland proposed to lend 1.2 trillion yen to Japan, but the Japanese people kept delaying and were reluctant to pay the money.

It was not until December 1979 that Japan launched the ODA project and officially provided aid to the mainland.

Then, a huge exchange rate pit was created when borrowing in magnesium dollars and repaying in Japanese yen!

As of now, Japan has paid loans of 18.6 billion yuan to the mainland, which is about 4466 billion yen.

Leaving aside the interest, after a few years when the Japanese yen appreciates, the mainland will have to repay more than 8000 billion yen, and the debt will double!

Therefore, Zhang Heping wants to take over this foreign debt of the mainland!

...

September 8th, Saturday.

While Chen Shuting was still reviewing the 4 trillion yen plan, news finally came from the Bank of China that it would set up a branch in Toto, Japan.

In addition, a special government bond of 50 billion magnesium yuan will be issued to the Peace Group with a term of 2 years and an interest rate of %!

This money will be directly transferred to the Bank of China's branch in Dongdu, converted into Japanese yen, and then loaned to the Heping Group!

In other words, the higher-ups accepted Zhang Heping's judgment that the Japanese yen would appreciate and the magnesium dollar would depreciate, and chose the second plan proposed by Zhang Heping, which was to use government bonds to subscribe to the magnesium dollars of the Heping Group and then exchange them for Japanese yen to hedge against the risk of magnesium dollar depreciation.

During this period, someone from the Bank of China proposed to Zhang Heping that they only issue 20 billion magnesium yuan of treasury bonds, but Zhang Heping directly refused.

If we raise 20 billion U.S. dollars and wait for the yen to double in value, the debt owed by the mainland to Japan will not be wiped out.

If we invest 50 billion magnesium dollars now and convert it into 1.14 trillion yen, after Zhang Heping's funds are withdrawn from Japan, the exchange rate of yen against magnesium dollars should be around 130 to 1.

That is to say, minus the debt of 1.14 billion yen from the 4466 trillion yen, there is still 6934 billion yen left, which can be converted into magnesium dollars at an exchange rate of 130, leaving about 53.3 billion magnesium dollars.

With this in and out transaction, not only did the mainland clear the 18.6 billion magnesium yuan debt owed to Japan, but it also made a profit of 3.3 million magnesium yuan.

As for the interest on the national debt, it is lower than Japan's 2.3% interest rate, and there are no additional conditions such as requiring the mainland to purchase Japanese products or open markets. Why not do it!

That night, after Zhang Heping returned home, Chen Shuting put the selected plan in front of Zhang Heping.

Zhang Heping glanced at his niece Chang Wen, who was sitting silently on the sofa beside him, then picked up the bound plan on the coffee table and began to read it.

Chen Shuting introduced: "This plan requires us to open a fund company in Japan..."

Zhang Heping shook his head, put down the plan, and said, "How do Japanese fund companies avoid taxes? Our biggest problem now is how to avoid Japan's 50% corporate profit tax!"

"What's more, it's very difficult for foreign fund companies to raise money from Japanese people in Japan. They are very xenophobic. Have you forgotten what Manager Ou said?"

Seeing Zhang Heping pick up the second plan and look through it, Chen Shuting began to introduce it again: "This plan is for foreign banks. Using the assets of Huayingxiong Company as collateral, you can borrow from multiple foreign banks."

"According to my recent contacts with foreign banks, banks in Western Europe can lend us a total of 150 billion magnesium dollars; the five largest investment banks in the United States are willing to lend us 5 billion magnesium dollars, but they want to recruit a group of computer science students from us."

"The guys from Magnesium are trying to use a roundabout tactic to get computer technology from us!" Zhang Heping said calmly as he looked through the plan: "We can agree that Magnesium will recruit at our college in the future, but whether students apply for Magnesium is up to them. We will not interfere with their choices."

Chen Shuting smiled and said, "If that's the case, the plan provided by the Finance Department can meet your funding plan!"

Zhang Heping picked up the third plan and said in a deep voice, "We have a lot of money to invest in this operation. We can't put all our eggs in one basket. We have to prevent those foreign banks from withdrawing their loans midway."

"Foreign banks' loan contracts all have provisions for risk withdrawal and default withdrawal, so we have to be on guard."

"Of course, the most important thing is that after the money is invested through them, it must be withdrawn through their channels. This must be specifically stated when signing the loan agreement!"

Chen Shuting nodded and introduced the third plan.

Chang Wen, who was sitting nearby, had already learned, after a week of silent understanding, that her third uncle and aunt were preparing funds to invest in Rijima.

But the loan amount of several hundred billion yuan is really scary.

Therefore, Chang Wen remained silent. It was not that she did not want to ask, but because of the huge amount of funds involved, she did not dare to ask casually.

"Mr. Zhang is back!"

When the wealthy ladies from Heping Real Estate heard that Zhang Heping had returned, they hurriedly dropped their card games and ran over to inquire about investing in Ridao.

"Brother-in-law!" The second wife of my eldest brother-in-law squeezed into the living room and asked excitedly, "Can we decide today? Should we invest in Japanese real estate or Japanese stock market?"

The other rich ladies knew that Zhang Heping would not tell them business secrets, so they called back Tang Ren's six concubines. However, after asking for three days, they still did not get Zhang Heping's confirmation.

Zhang Heping glanced at the group of women, holding the fourth fundraising plan, and said calmly: "You don't have much money, you can invest as much as you want, as long as you don't buy Japanese steel and textile stocks."

"Don't buy steel and textile stocks..." my brother-in-law's second concubine repeated it in a low voice several times.

"Mr. Zhang, can we buy it with you?" a rich lady asked whimsically.

"Heh..." Zhang Heping sneered and said no more.

There was a rich lady who was quick to react and blamed him, "Mrs. Wang, you have never traded stocks before! Mr. Zhang has so much money to trade stocks. If outsiders find out where his money is going, and they all buy stocks, it would be fine. But if someone deliberately shorts the stocks, can you afford to compensate Mr. Zhang for his losses?"

Another smart rich lady spoke up, "Mr. Zhang, we invest our money in you and you give us dividends, is that okay?"

……

Time was running out, and the task of raising funds was left to Chen Shuting to follow up, which involved borrowing money, raising funds, and forming a team to attack Japan.

On August 8, the day when the World AIDS Conference was held in Magnesium, Tingmei Trading officially started selling HIV test strips and HIV prevention drugs.

At the same time, 1 million yuan was allocated to launch a public service advertisement on AIDS around the world, which also helped to increase the reputation of the Peace Hospital.

Zhang Heping launched the attack on this day just to use money to wake up those virology experts from the United States. In front of big capital, they are nothing!

Therefore, the naming rights of AIDS and HIV still belong to Heping Hospital.

There are three AIDS public service announcements, one of which teaches ordinary people how to get free AIDS testing.

Just the day after the AIDS public service advertisement was broadcast, many couples appeared at the blood donation window of Heping Hospital.

In addition, the wholesalers who had been surrounding Tingmei Trading Group were very helpful. On the third day, they signed orders for HIV testing strips and HIV prevention drugs for two years later, and promoted them to countries around the world.

In order to boost the enthusiasm of these wholesalers, after receiving the deposit transferred by the Heping Group, the mainland pharmaceutical factories immediately expanded production and met domestic demand at the same time.

One week after the three public service advertisements were broadcast, the Hong Kong Island Department of Health received an epidemic warning from Peace Hospital. Recently, a large number of AIDS patients and HIV carriers came to Peace Hospital for treatment, and they hoped that the Hong Kong Island Department of Health would give free condoms to the citizens.

Finally, the Hong Kong Island Department of Health was given the phone number of a mainland condom supplier, whose address was the Jingcheng Rubber Factory in Xishuangbanna.

The last time He Zijiang and Lao Zhao sent the wild monkeys over, they asked Zhang Heping for new ways to get rich.

At that time, Zhang Heping gave them suggestions such as planting coffee beans and flowers, and then mentioned that wild monkeys were used to experiment with HIV, and then said that rubber condoms could prevent diseases, and then talked about the country's family planning, etc.

A few days after Lao Zhao returned, he called Zhang Heping and said that Jingcheng Rubber Factory was preparing to produce condoms and hoped that he could give some more advice.

Therefore, Zhang Heping directly drew a condom production line equipment blueprint for them and gave it to Director Wang to arrange for someone to implement it.

...

On August 1985, 8, the 15th anniversary of Japan's unconditional surrender and the day when the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall was completed, the mayor of Japan went crazy and openly visited the sacred toilet!

This was the first time for Mayor Hijima, and it caused strong condemnation from countries in East Asia, but Mayor Hijima ignored it and showed no apology or repentance!

Zhang Heping knew that if there was one, there would be another, and future mayors of Rijima would continue to go there.

Therefore, after receiving the news, Zhang Heping calmly told his concubine Chen Shuting that 8 trillion yen had been raised!

He wanted to teach the mayor of Hijima a profound lesson during his term of office...
