Break out of the courtyard

Zhang Heping’s primary purpose of investing in Japan is definitely to make money!

Secondly, it is to boost Japan’s economic bubble!

They say the higher you stand, the harder you fall.

Zhang Heping is now simply pushing up housing prices in Dongdu, heating up the Japanese stock market, and boosting Japan's superficial economy.

When the Japanese economic bubble bursts, I wonder if Japan will be lost for forty years!

His method is simple, without any leverage, convertible bonds or other tricks, just buy, buy and buy!

Chunyang, let others follow suit!

In order to attract Wall Street capital to follow suit and invest in Japan, he offered an annual interest rate of 15%, giving up future profits of 300 billion magnesium yuan as interest!

Speaking of Wall Street, we have to mention the intention of the five major investment banks in Magnesium to buy high-end computers.

They used the purchase of 15 computers as bait and confirmed one thing from Zhang Heping: the mainland only supplies 10 computers to Tingmei Trading every month!

At first glance, this matter seems to be a production capacity issue, but those who are smart enough would think that it is the mainland that is restricting Tingmei's trade. However, they do not know that the production of Zhuhai Computer Industrial Park is entirely under the control of Zhang Heping, and the monthly output of 10 computers is just an illusion deliberately created by Zhang Heping.

Just the next day, the five major investment banks in Magnesium approached Zhang Heping again to discuss a loan of 5 billion Magnesium dollars, hoping to build a bridge for MBI Computer Company.

"From what you said, the 120 billion magnesium yuan loan is not ready yet?" Zhang Heping stood at the gate of Renheyi Community, looking indifferently at the magnesium guys outside the door, without any intention of inviting them into the house to sit down and talk.

Brown, the representative of the Morgan Bank of Magnesium, said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, as long as you are willing to acquire MBI Computer Company, the loan will be easy to get!"

Zhang Heping was silent for a while, and probably guessed the intention of the five major investment banks in Magnesium.

First, MBI Computer Company may owe money to the five major investment banks in Magnesium, or the five major investment banks may have absorbed the debt of MBI Computer Company.

If Zhang Heping agrees to take over MBI Computer Company, the money used to acquire MBI Computer Company can be deducted from the 120 billion magnesium yuan loan and then offset against the debt owed by MBI Computer Company.

In this way, the debt of MBI Computer Company was transferred to Zhang Heping.

Abbreviation: Scapegoat!

Secondly, if Zhang Heping wanted to expand computer production, the MBI Computer Company, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, was undoubtedly a good choice.

Unfortunately, the illusion that Tingmei Trading can only sell 10 high-configuration computers every month is created for the Japanese people to see. What Zhang Heping wants to control are companies related to Japanese semiconductors.

As for the life or death of the computer company in Magnesium Country, it’s none of his business!

"You have less than two months to raise funds!" Zhang Heping turned around and said coldly, "Talk to Stepmother Investment Company about the loan, and don't bother me anymore!"

Director Wang Sumei, who was standing outside the villa, saw that Zhang Heping did not let the Magnesium people in, and could not help but ask: "Has the 120 billion magnesium yuan loan from Magnesium arrived?"

"No!" Zhang Heping said disdainfully, "The five banks in the country can't come up with the money, so they want to transfer the shares of MBI Computer Company that they mortgaged to the banks to me as collateral for the loan."

"MBI Computer Company?" Wang Sumei felt that she had some impression of this company, but she couldn't remember where she had heard of it.

Huang Wenli, who did not go to work, explained: "MBI Computer Company is the largest computer manufacturer in the country of Magnesium. I heard that their capital chain has been cut off and they are likely to go bankrupt!"

Wang Sumei was just about to ask Zhang Heping whether he had accepted the shares of MBI Computer Company, but she saw Zhang Heping had already entered the villa.

Tang Qiang, the third nephew, who was surfing the Internet in the study on the second floor of Zhang's house, saw Zhang Heping coming back and asked hurriedly, "Uncle, the Nichia Telecom stock I hold has tripled. Will it affect your layout if I sell it?"

"No!" Zhang Heping replied casually and sat back behind his desk.

As early as four years ago, Hong Kong Island Telecom acquired 4% of the shares of Japan Island Telecom, and Hua Yingxiong bought 41.1% of Japan Island Telecom shares.

Combined with the 2% of Nichia Telecom shares that Heping Investment bought last year, Zhang Heping already owns the controlling stake in Nichia Telecom. However, he does not manage the operation of the Nichia company and just takes care of the dividends every year.

...

In the afternoon, when Zhang Heping took Director Wang to Kowloon Bay to inspect the seawater refinery, she received a call from the mainland, and then she asked Zhang Heping:

"Heping, the people of Magnesium want to buy a high-configuration computer production line. Should we sell it to them?"

Zhang Heping watched the workers pour buckets of yellow-brown wet cloth into the machine and said calmly, "Auntie Wang, have you noticed a problem? The cooperation between the Ministry of Aviation and McDonnell Douglas of Magnesium has no follow-up!"

Wang Sumei hesitated and said, "It seems that McDonnell Douglas and Boeing are discussing a merger and reorganization, so the cooperation has been delayed."

"Hmph..." Zhang Heping snorted coldly, saying disdainfully, "After they merge and reorganize, Boeing will take the lead and unilaterally tear up the cooperation agreement signed between McDonnell Douglas and the mainland. Do you believe it?"

Wang Sumei thought for a moment and asked, "You mean, not selling it?"

"There's no rush to sell in the next two years, unless the Chinese people offer us technology in exchange." Zhang Heping said as he walked towards a materials warehouse on the side.

"There's one more thing!" Wang Sumei followed and said beside Zhang Heping, "The people of Magnesium have asked the capital to increase orders for high-configuration computers. Someone in the capital wants to add production lines and expand production capacity..."

"Is there anyone who wants to lower the price?" Zhang Heping snorted again.

For a computer that costs less than 1500 magnesium yuan, Tingmei Trading's purchase price per unit is 3000 magnesium yuan, and the selling price is 1 magnesium yuan.

When the capital first built an electronic transaction security monitoring center for New York, the high-configuration computers were priced the same as Heping brand computers, also 1 magnesium yuan each.

However, after Tingmei Trading sold off the high-configuration Heping brand computers stored in its warehouse, mainland computers lost their competitiveness due to transportation costs and other reasons. After that, the unit price of high-configuration computers was reduced to 9000 magnesium yuan per unit.

Wang Sumei didn't respond, which was considered as her tacit agreement that this was the case.

Zhang Heping stopped talking and was too lazy to ask about the computer manufacturers in Beihe Province. He would wait until he controlled several Japanese semiconductor companies and factories and then bring them back to Hong Kong Island to see if the people in the capital were anxious!

That evening, the Aso couple called Zhang Heping and invited him to dinner.

For the tens of billions of dollars of investment from Japan, Zhang Heping had to hold his nose and endure it even if he didn't want to go.

When they arrived at a Japanese restaurant in Sheung Wan, Zhang Heping discovered that the Japanese people present were not only the Aso couple, but also representatives from Nichima Electric and Fujitsu.

"Mr. Zhang!" Miss Suzuki said as she poured wine for Zhang Heping, "You bought 4% of the shares of Nichima Electric Company four years ago. Are you still interested in buying their shares now?"

Zhang Heping sneered in his heart, these Japanese people have also taken the bait.

"Four years ago, I spent 4 billion magnesium yuan to buy 20% of the shares of Nichia Electric. Now it is only worth 21 million magnesium yuan. You still want me to invest in them?" Zhang Heping spoke in fluent Tokyo accent and pointed at the three middle-aged men of Nichia Electric with disdain.

"Mr. Zhang, it is precisely because we have caused you investment losses that we want to make amends!" A short and thin Japanese man knelt upright, raised his glass with both hands and toasted Zhang Heping who was sitting cross-legged opposite him.

Zhang Heping took a sip with the other person, and it turned out to be a mild sake.

The short and thin Japanese man finished his drink, put down his glass, bowed and said, "Mr. Zhang, we would like you to take control of Nichia Electric and lead us out of the trough!"

Zhang Heping picked up a ball of sushi and said calmly, "I am studying medicine now. I have no interest in managing a company, nor in computers. If you want to get out of the trough, you can contact Meiguoxue and go to the mainland to discuss cooperation."

Holding a controlling stake in Nichia Electric is in Zhang Heping's plan, but not now.

A centipede is still alive even after it dies. Nichia Electric is not at the end of its rope yet, because Magnesium has not restricted Japan's export of semiconductor products, nor has it forced the Japanese to open up semiconductor-related patented technologies, so Zhang Heping is not in a hurry.

Several Japanese people looked at each other, and then a short and fat representative of Fujitsu smiled kindly and said, "Mr. Zhang, we found that Peace Investment Company bought 19% of our Fujitsu shares. Do you want to control our company?"

"It's just like investing in Nichima Electric Company. It's just an ordinary investment. At most, we'll check your accounts, but it won't affect your management." Zhang Heping replied casually, then pointed at the sashimi on the table with his chopsticks and said with a little dissatisfaction: "It's not fresh anymore!"

The Fujitsu representative at the side immediately knelt down, took away the sashimi in front of Zhang Heping, and then called the Japanese boss over.

Because of Zhang Heping's previous long-term investment habits, whether it was real estate or stocks, he would put them aside after buying them, which made the Japanese people less wary of him. This is why the Japanese people took the initiative to ask for controlling stakes today.

Zhang Heping ignored the trivial matter of returning the food and turned to look at the Aso couple, smiling, "The five investment banks in Magnesium may not have money to lend me. I guess their money from Wall Street has already flowed into the Japanese financial market. I wonder if you have received the news?"

"Hey!" Councillor Aso responded hastily, "Their funds are flowing into the stock and futures markets, and some companies are negotiating cooperation with our Japanese automobile, medical, semiconductor and other companies. Because it involves a wide range of areas, I only know a rough outline, please forgive me, Mr. Zhang."

"Mr. Aso, you're welcome. I also want to thank you for telling me the truth, otherwise I would still be guessing about the financial movements of the Magnesium people." After Zhang Heping finished speaking, he raised his glass and drank with Congressman Aso.

After finishing his drink, Councillor Aso took the opportunity to ask, "Mr. Zhang, are you really not going to take control of our semiconductor company in Japan?"

"I was planning to privatize those Chinese medicine companies in Japan so that they could open up their Chinese medicine patents for use, but I was met with strong resistance from them." Zhang Heping said casually because these things must have been discovered by the Japanese long ago.

After all, when Heping Investment acquired the stocks of those Chinese medicine companies, it publicly issued an acquisition notice.

"Those people are really stubborn!" Councillor Aso said indignantly, "I have communicated with them dozens of times before, but I just couldn't convince them."

"Patents will only limit human progress!" Zhang Heping raised his glass arrogantly and clinked it with others' glasses.

After he finished the penny-sized glass of wine, he picked up some food and casually said, "When they give up the patent on the Chinese medicine formula, you can send some students who are good at Chinese to study at Heping Hospital."

"Let me tell you, ever since the AIDS test strips came out, I've sent people to various countries to test them. Magnesium has the most AIDS patients, followed by Western Europe, and then..." Zhang Heping pointed his index finger at the Japanese in front of him with the chopsticks in his hand, "Keep yourself clean!"

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for the reminder!" Congressman Aso picked up his glass, and the other Japanese people followed suit and drank another glass with Zhang Heping.

However, these Ridao people obviously did not give up the purpose of this trip. After Zhang Heping was flattered by everyone and drank three bottles of sake, the short and thin representative of Ridao Electric asked again: "Mr. Zhang, when will your Heping Vocational Training College teach computer hardware knowledge?"

This is just short of asking Zhang Heping when he will teach them how to make lithography machines!

"Heping Group doesn't have a factory for this purpose. We'll teach you when we have one later." Zhang Heping's face remained calm, and his tone was still casual. "If you ask me, you should move your semiconductor factory out as soon as possible before the Magnesium people restrict you. Keep the R&D in China and put the production abroad!"

"Like your cars, building a factory in Magnesium to produce them will avoid Magnesium's export quantity restrictions."

"If you don't move your semiconductor factory out of the country, I will not invest in your semiconductors anymore. It's too much of a loss!"

Zhang Heping talked to these Japanese people about the future development of the semiconductor industry for a while, and only after he got the men drunk did he say goodbye to Miss Suzuki who was pouring wine for him.

During this dinner, Zhang Heping left two tails unnoticed. One was that Heping Vocational Training College did not have any semiconductor-related factories, so it would not teach computer hardware technology; the other was that Japan's semiconductor factories could only move out of the country to avoid the restrictions of the Magnesian people.

When the Chinese people of Magnesium launch a massive ban on Japan's semiconductor industry, the Japanese people will remember the two tails left by Zhang Heping today.

At that time, we can recruit Japan's semiconductor experts for our own use.

Last November, Zhang Heping had a private discussion with Mr. Hua.

Mr. Hua didn't think Zhang Heping could be good at everything, and Zhang Heping also knew that he was overwhelmed by trivial matters and couldn't calm down and focus on a certain technology tree.

The point is, life is short. If Zhang Heping cannot make a breakthrough in medicine and human lifespan, he will not live long even with a cheat, unless he can practice Taoism.

But the problem is, he has read all the books by Taoists, monks, and Western charlatans, but he hasn't found any shitty skills.

Therefore, in addition to making money, Zhang Heping is currently focusing on studying medical knowledge.

The reason why he opened the Peace Hospital, published relevant medical papers in the "Peace Hospital" journal, and even operated the Peace Hospital and Medical Research Institute at a loss was nothing more than to promote the faster development of medicine and the birth of more and more extensive medical books.

In addition to medicine, medical equipment naturally cannot lag behind, but the mainland is reluctant to make it public. The higher-ups asked Zhang Heping to wait and teach the technology after the domestic economy develops.

To do this, he has to recruit some foreign talents, such as those in semiconductors.

A few days passed by in a flash...

February 1th, weekend.

After Zhang Heping sent his mother Ma Xiuzhen, Zhang Bei and Zhang Nan back to the capital, he went to the north bank of Houhai to look at the new house and flew to Wucheng, Beihu Province the next day.

As soon as he walked out of the airport, Zhang Heping saw a large wooden sign with his name on it, a red banner that read "Welcome Mr. Zhang Heping from Hong Kong Island", and an acquaintance.

The words on the banner were simple, probably because they were asked to keep it confidential or keep a low profile.

Zhang Heping pushed his suitcase to the eight men and women who came to greet him, and smiled as he called out to the elderly Huang Xuemin, “Uncle Huang!”

"Peace?" Huang Xuemin looked at the young man in his twenties with surprise and said in disbelief: "I didn't recognize you when I saw you just now!"

In Huang Xuemin's memory, Zhang Heping is the same age as his fourth daughter Huang Wenli, and is 36 years old this year.

The key point is that his daughter Huang Wenli has been left with traces of time, while Zhang Heping, with a smile on his face, looks very young.

Zhang Heping changed the subject and pointed to the three Heping brand electric cars behind them, "Uncle Huang, are we going to the car city tonight?"

Huang Wenli begged her father to order these three electric cars in the name of Beihu Civil Affairs Bureau after she heard that almost all domestic sales orders of Shenzhen Heping Automobile Factory were cancelled. The purchase price has not been paid in full until now, which can be regarded as a hindrance.

At this time, Huang Xuemin, as the director of the Wucheng Civil Affairs Bureau, had a salary four levels higher than Zhang Heping and would retire in two years.

"How can I let you go to Checheng overnight!" After Huang Xuemin realized what was happening, he pulled Zhang Heping to the back seat of the electric car in the middle, and whispered:

"As we are uncle and nephew, I will tell you straight away. The leader here is hosting a banquet tonight and wants you to invest in some projects in Beihu. You can make your own decision later. Don't worry about me. I will retire the year after next anyway."

Zhang Heping smiled and said, "Uncle Huang, what do you want me to invest in? As long as it is a project related to your civil affairs, you can introduce it to me. I will do my best, haha!"

"You kid!" Huang Xuemin patted Zhang Heping on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Lily came back, but she told me everything. You are the richest man in Hong Kong Island, and you have to do projects within your means. I don't know what big project it is."

"It's better to keep the wealth within the family. It's all investment anyway, so we might as well give Uncle Huang some political achievements!" Zhang Heping said, and then he looked at the driver who was about to open the door of the cab with a smile.

"This is my driver Xiao Liang!" Huang Xuemin pointed at the driver who had just put away the suitcase and introduced him to Zhang Heping: "He has been following me since he retired from the army. We are one family."

"Hello, Mr. Zhang!" The driver Xiao Liang turned around and greeted politely.

"Hello!" Zhang Heping habitually stretched out his right hand and shook hands with the other party.

"Heping, since you asked me to speak, I will tell you some projects. You can see which one you like and invest some money in it." Huang Xuemin is as obsessed with officials as ever. It is not his style to not grasp political achievements.

He tilted his head towards Zhang Heping and whispered, "We are still short of nursing homes, orphanages, and funeral homes..."
