Break out of the courtyard

Why is Zhang Heping so excited?

It’s not because of the 5 billion magnesium yuan loan from the five major investment banks in Magnesium. That amount of money is dispensable.

After the recovery in recent months, Tingmei's trading account has added more than 300 billion magnesium yuan in profits. At this time, it is trying every means to avoid taxes and transfer the profits to the account of Heping Group.

The reason why Zhang Heping was excited was that the capital tycoons on Wall Street had finally come to an end!

Without those buyers, Peace Group would not be able to withdraw its funds and might become the seventh largest conglomerate in Japan.

As of now, Stepmother Investment focuses on real estate in Tokyo, Japan; Heping Investment focuses on the Japanese stock market, and small-scale public funds flow into real estate in Tokyo.

The actual situation is that Heping Investment has become the second or third largest shareholder of more than 200 Japanese companies through the Japanese stock market.

To this end, Heping Audit Company has also opened a branch in Dongdu, Japan, and is planning to conduct financial audits on more than 200 Japanese companies, and at the same time understand the true and false of various industries in Japan through them.

After a full-body checkup, Brown, the representative of the Morgan Bank of Magnesium, was let in by the Renheyi Community security guards. He then enthusiastically walked towards Zhang Heping and his group who came out to greet them, "Mr. Zhang, we are here to deliver money to you!"

Zhang Heping stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party. He smiled and said in Eagle language: "I thought you took the money and went to invest in Japan!"

"Recently, many customers have invested in Japan through our fund!" Brown from Morgan Bank said frankly, "Mr. Zhang, can you sell us a batch of high-configuration computers and servers?"

Zhang Heping put away his smile and said seriously, "I dare not do business with the country of Magnesium. Your Trade Act of 1974 is too overbearing. You raise tariffs and restrict imports at every turn, and finally impose sanctions on me!"

"Mr. Zhang, we can buy it directly from your Peace Plaza. What do you think?" Brown from Morgan Bank said with a worried look on his face:

"If we don't have a high-configuration Heping brand computer, we won't be able to use your Heping financial software. Other computers using this software are too slow!"

When he heard about Heping Financial Software, Zhang Heping smiled again. If it wasn't for promoting the sales of high-end computers, he wouldn't provide Heping Financial Software for free. He would have to charge some membership fee.

"If that's the case, you can go directly to Peace Plaza to place your order. I usually don't care about these little things." Zhang Heping replied calmly.

"We've asked!" Brown from Morgan Bank said anxiously, "But the 15 high-configuration computers we ordered won't be delivered until February next year. Can you help us speed up?"

Zhang Heping saw the representatives of the other four magnesium-based investment banks coming over and said with a smile, "Let's talk inside."

...

When Director Wang Sumei brought Ma Xiuzhen and siblings Zhang Bei and Zhang Nan back to the foot of Victoria Peak on Hong Kong Island at noon, they were surprised to find security guards stationed at the entrance of the mountain road to stop cars.

Ma Xiuzhen and her group were definitely not among those who were stopped. When they took the bus up the mountain, they found three long lines of people in front of the entrance of Renheyi Community. Only then did they understand why the bus was stopped at the foot of the mountain. It was because there were too many people who came to give gifts and to establish relationships that day.

When they returned to the flat land outside the villa, they found that a buffet had been set up there. Groups of people were scattered around chatting. No one was singing on the stage, but there were staff playing soft background music there.

"Dad!" Zhang Nan shouted and excitedly rushed towards Zhang Heping who was talking to three old men and threw himself into his father's arms.

Zhang Bei was carrying two large bags of clothes and went over and called out "Dad".

Zhang Heping patted his second daughter on the back, and when Zhang Nan let him go, he smiled and said to the three old men, "Please do as you please. I'll be leaving for a moment!"

After he finished speaking, Zhang Heping held out his wine glass and asked a waiter to take it away.

Zhang Heping looked at his mother Ma Xiuzhen and Director Wang, "Mom, Aunt Wang, you guys wanted to come over, but you didn't even call me in advance!"

"I told you not to hit me, hehe!" Zhang Nan hugged her father's left arm and said coquettishly, "Dad, are you happy to see us back?"

"Happy!" Zhang Heping walked towards the door with a smile and asked casually, "There is only one day off for New Year's Day in the mainland. Did you take leave?"

"My brother and I have taken three days off and will return to the capital on Sunday afternoon." Zhang Nan leaned on her father's shoulder and said, and suddenly heard someone calling her from behind.

When Zhang Nan saw someone coming behind her, she immediately let go of her father's arm and ran to the door excitedly, "Mom! Little Mom!"

The Zhang family was reunited there, and those who had arrived early on Pingba naturally saw it. Those who were well-informed were already whispering about the siblings Zhang Bei and Zhang Nan.

"I heard that Zhang Bei and Zhang Nan are studying at a university in the capital of the mainland. What do you think Mr. Zhang thinks?"

"What else can I think of? I can use my two children to show my stance to the mainland!"

"Although Tingmei Trade has made a lot of money, if the mainland cuts off their goods, they will be helpless!"

"What is the relationship between Heping Group and the mainland? It doesn't look like China Resources and CITIC are controlled by the mainland at all."

"If they were really like China Resources and CITIC, the mainland would definitely not allow them to pour tens of billions of dollars into the Japanese stock market and real estate. Everyone knows that the mainland is in urgent need of funds to develop the economy."

...

"Brother, this is the projector. If you take it apart and can't put it back together, we won't be able to show Ghost Blows Out the Light Part 2!"

"Is your machine more important? Or is our boss's safety more important?" The bodyguard at the gate of the community was unmoved and said coldly: "Take apart the cushions in the box and check them. With so many celebrities here today, there can't be any mistakes!"

"Director Wang, let's go in and meet the boss first. Leave Xiao Du and the others here waiting for the machine." Qu Zhouping, the person in charge of ATV, took away the director of the Ghost Blows Out the Light movie. After checking at the door, they successfully entered the Renheyi community.

The chubby Director Wang pointed to the edge of the flat ground and said, "Manager Qu, look over there on the stage. It looks like a female artist from TVB!"

Qu Zhouping looked over along the finger and said disdainfully: "Don't bother with them. The boss is not interested in female stars. If TVB does this, it will only upset the boss lady!"

Director Wang whispered, "What if the target of those female stars is the boss's son?"

"This..." Qu Zhouping hesitated for a moment, then took out his cell phone and called his secretary, "Bring Amin and Atong here!"

"Why are you talking so much nonsense!" Qu Zhouping held up his phone and frowned, saying, "We just asked them to come over and sing two songs for the boss... If they don't come, they won't be able to stay in the entertainment industry!"

...

"Mr. Zhang, can you please tell me why the Peace Group invested so much money in Japan?"

As soon as Zhang Heping came out of the villa, he was blocked by the stubborn editor-in-chief of the South China Morning Post.

Zhang Heping glanced at Huang Wenli behind the old stubborn man and frowned, saying, "Last year, Japan issued a notice on the current situation and prospects of financial liberalization and internationalization of the yen. Coupled with the huge trade surplus between Japan and magnesium, and the huge deficit of magnesium, isn't it reasonable to invest in Japan?"

The editor-in-chief of the South China Morning Post obviously did not believe such a hollow reason and continued:

"Japan's textile, steel, color TV, and automobile industries have been restricted in their export quantities by Magnesium. Japan's semiconductor industry is likely to be restricted as well. In addition, the appreciation of the yen has led to a reduction in export trade. I find it difficult to understand your investment behavior."

"Editor-in-Chief Zhu, if you say too much, it will involve commercial secrets!" Zhang Heping took a glass of champagne and said lightly: "You only need to know that I invested in Ridao to make money, it's that simple."

"But……"

"No buts!" Zhang Heping interrupted the other party's questioning, "Do whatever you want, I have friends over there."

Because the old man had never treated Zhang Heping well before, Zhang Heping was in no mood to talk to him any more and went somewhere else.

"Since 1970, Japan Bank has been leaning towards real estate, retail, and personal residential loans, so I can understand why Stepmother Investment Company invested in real estate in Japan's East Capital, but the performance of the Japanese stock market before was not as active as the Hong Kong stock market. Why did Peace Investment Company invest in the Japanese stock market?"

"Although the Japanese stock market has been rising steadily in the past few years, without Mr. Zhang's huge investment, it would be difficult to have the current bull market!"

"The couple talking to Mr. Zhang seem to be from Japan!"

"She's the third daughter of the Suzuki family. Her father is the former mayor of Hijima!"

"Could it be that Mr. Zhang invested in Ridao because of his connections with the upper echelons of Ridao?"

Zhang Heping had a brief chat with the Aso couple, and after learning that the Japan Bank would lower its interest rates this year, he went to greet other people.

If Japanese banks lower interest rates, it will be easier to get loans for buying houses, which will in turn be beneficial to Japanese real estate.

The Aso couple told Zhang Heping this, which was tantamount to strengthening Zhang Heping's confidence in investing in Japan.

However, Zhang Heping's confidence comes more from the historical inertia of his previous life, as well as the magnesium-Soviet arms race, the high unemployment rate in Europe and magnesium, the huge trade gap between Japan and magnesium, and so on.

"Mr. Zhang!" As soon as the head of the Guo family, who was engaged in real estate, arrived, he went straight to Zhang Heping and said hopefully: "Our company has just acquired a real estate company in Ridao, with a construction qualification of more than 10 years. Look at Ridao..."

Zhang Heping raised his hand to call a waiter, brought a glass of champagne to Chairman Guo, and then clinked glasses with him with a smile, "For this kind of thing, Chairman Guo should directly send someone to talk to Stepmother Investment Company. Dongdu has many real estate projects and has been looking for partners."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang!" Chairman Guo drank the champagne in his glass to show his gratitude.

Chairman He, who also has real estate business, came over and asked in surprise, "Mr. Guo, which Ridao real estate company did you acquire?"

"Haha!" Chairman Guo seemed very proud when asked this question, "We found a real estate company in Osaka that is about to go bankrupt. The real estate company in Dongdu is too arrogant. Not only is it involved in organized crime, but it is also backed by the six major Japanese financial groups. We can't negotiate with them at all."

Due to the frequent earthquakes in Japan, the qualifications of construction companies are very strict, and the construction quality is also very high. The houses built must be able to withstand earthquakes of magnitude 6-7 without collapsing, and commercial buildings must be able to withstand earthquakes of magnitude 8!

Most importantly, it comes with a 10-year warranty!

If there is any problem with the house, it will be repaired free of charge within 10 years!

Therefore, the real estate developers in Hong Kong Island thought of looking for shell companies in Japan, and then making money from the real estate project development from the stepmother's investment.

"Mr. Zhang!" Several middle-aged men who were watching the projectionist adjusting the machine noticed Zhang Heping coming and greeted him.

"Mr. Zhang, we were just congratulating Manager Qu and Director Wang that the box office of Ghost Blows Out the Light has exceeded 3000 million yuan! But they told me that the second part of Ghost Blows Out the Light will be released tonight. What's it called..."

"Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Cave of Dragon Ridge!" Director Wang replied excitedly, and then looked at Zhang Heping hopefully, "Boss, do you think we should start preparing for the filming of Ghost Blows Out the Light Part 3?"

"Let's shoot!" Zhang Heping replied indifferently, because Ghost Blows Out the Light Part 1 not only recovered its investment, but also earned 1 million Hong Kong dollars, so Director Wang had sufficient funds for the filming and did not need additional funds.

Zhang Heping looked at the person in charge of TVB and ATV and said, "I have an OMG movie script. If anyone has a suitable director to recommend, please bring it to me and let me take a look."

The heads of the two TV stations nodded hurriedly in response, "Okay, boss!"

Zhang Heping is preparing to shoot the movie "The Pursuit of Happyness". Through this movie, he wants to induce European and American people to rush into the financial industry and then abandon the real economy.

The reason why he told the heads of the two TV stations about this was not to consider the face of the head of TVB Wireless Television, but because he was somewhat dissatisfied with Qu Zhouping, and Zhang Heping wanted to suppress this guy through TVB Wireless Television.

Zhang Heping glanced at the female celebrities behind the two TV station directors. Among them, Zhou Huimin, Li Ruotong and others were about the same age as his daughter, which made him feel a little complicated.

The last time Zhang Heping saw these Hong Kong female stars in his previous life, they had all become old ladies. Before appearing on camera, they had to apply thick powder and spend a long time on makeup to hide the traces left by the years.

But in this life, he, Zhang Heping, is one or two years older than these female stars, which makes him a little worried!

……

After some socializing, Zhang Heping and his family saw the outsiders off in the dark.

Only after the bodyguards found 26 eavesdropping devices inside and outside the villa did Zhang Heping return home with his family.

There were all kinds of people here today, and with Tang Laoer's family around, Zhang Heping was not surprised to find so many eavesdropping devices. Only Director Wang Sumei and Huang Wenli were a little surprised.

"How were those eavesdropping devices put in there?" Wang Sumei was very confused.

Zhang Heping leaned back on the sofa with his eyes closed, and did not answer.

Chen Shuting on the side seemed to know something, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she looked at the four nannies standing on the side, because they had been in the villa all day.

"It should be those people who go into the villa to use the toilet or rest!" Tang Xin replied, frowning slightly as if she had something to say. She was probably thinking of her second brother's family.

"Dad, I want to ask you a question." Zhang Nan, the second daughter who studies international trade at Capital University, stood behind her father Zhang Heping and asked while rubbing his temples:

"With a huge trade deficit between Japan and magnesium, and the country of magnesium already restricting and suppressing exports to Japan, why do you and your stepmother want to invest in Japan?"

When this question was asked, not only Wang Sumei and Huang Wenli pricked up their ears, but even Tang Xin and Chen Shuting also looked at Zhang Heping.

Zhang Heping enjoyed his daughter's massage and asked with his eyes closed: "What are the ways to reverse the trade deficit?"

"Improve product competitiveness and increase exports," Zhang Nan said without thinking, "reduce imports and promote domestic industrial development and innovation."

Zhang Heping did not judge whether his second daughter Zhang Nan was right or not. He just said calmly: "On September 9 last year, Japan and the United States signed an agreement in New York to allow the yen and the mark to appreciate and the dollar to depreciate in an orderly manner."

"Reversing the trade deficit through currency exchange rate differences?" Zhang Nan paused and asked in confusion, "The appreciation of the yen will reduce the international competitiveness of Japanese products, and thus slow down Japan's economic development. We should not invest in Japan!"

"When Magnesium restricted the amount of magnesium exported to Japan, Japanese people built many factories and branches in Magnesium, bypassing the import restrictions of Magnesium and still making money back to Japan." Zhang Heping said calmly:

"The civilian products of the Magnesium country are not competitive, and they cannot effectively contain the products of the Japanese island. How can the Magnesium country win this economic war without gun smoke? How can the Japanese island country resist?"

Zhang Nan shook his head, "I don't know!"

"If you don't know, just learn and watch. You will have the answer in a few years!" Zhang Heping opened his eyes and looked at Director Wang and Huang Wenli.

Although Zhang Heping didn't say anything else, Wang Sumei and Huang Wenli felt that Zhang Heping's eyes were telling them not to ask more questions!

Zhang Heping has now invested nearly 800 billion yuan in Japan. With such a large capital pool, how could he reveal his investment plan to outsiders!

Director Wang and Huang Wenli came to inquire about the news and also guided Zhang Nan back to ask. It must be that there was instructions from above.

Once Zhang Heping reveals his true colors, who knows who will tell the Japanese. How will Zhang Heping then withdraw his investment and avoid taxes?

Father-in-law Tang Ming sat quietly on the sofa nearby. He actually wanted to know Zhang Heping's investment logic, but because Wang Sumei, Huang Wenli and others were present, he never asked. Unexpectedly, Zhang Heping was unwilling to say.

The atmosphere was dull for a while, and Chen Shuting smiled and said, "In fact, Japanese people are very rich, but they like to keep their money in the bank. In addition to food, clothing, housing and transportation, they can spend money on medical care and electrical appliances. Among them, buying a house accounts for the largest part of the expenditure, followed by buying a car."

“So, Magnesium has been asking Japan to promote market opening and liberalization, and it achieved its goal last year!”

"And we just took a ride."
