Break out of the courtyard

Chapter 626 Influence

"Mr. Zhang!" The person in charge of TVB Wireless Television hurried to the hospital and finally met Zhang Heping.

As soon as Zhang Heping walked out of the hospital, he looked at the two people on his left who were stopped by bodyguards in confusion, and waved to the bodyguards to let the person in charge and the director of TVB come over.

Facing Zhang Heping's inquiring eyes, the tall and thin director in black short-sleeved shirt and long pants hurriedly said, "Boss, the movie 'The Pursuit of Happyness' has received very good reviews since its release. The box office has exceeded 2 million yuan in two months!"

This amount of money is not worth Zhang Heping's attention. Making this movie is just to convey to ordinary people in Japan, Europe and Magnesium the awareness that big money can be made in the financial industry.

"Is there anything else?" Zhang Heping looked at the person in charge of TVB Wireless Television.

"Mr. Zhang, do you think there are any other movies that need us to shoot?" The person in charge of TVB Wireless Television directly stated the purpose of their visit.

The reason why he came here today was, firstly, that he heard that ATV had received another movie script from Zhang Dashoufu, and secondly, he was worried that Zhang Heping would merge the three TV stations in Hong Kong Island into one one day, leaving him no place to stand.

You should know that after the Peace Group reorganized and merged companies such as Island Electric and China Gas, many senior executives were demoted or dismissed.

The people in charge of TVB Wireless Television were not worried about themselves because their TV station's business has always been the best and they have many celebrity artists.

But after Qu Zhouping, the head of ATV, received another movie script from Zhang Heping, he became aware of the crisis.

Qu Zhouping had offended Zhang Heping, the richest man in the world, and stood up a number of Hong Kong celebrities at the Super Girl finals. Unexpectedly, he would be reused by Zhang Heping.

Zhang Heping didn't think too much about it. After a little thought, he decided to spend some more advertising fees to continue to instill in Japan, Europe and magnesium the awareness that the financial industry can make big money, thereby exacerbating the economic bubble in Japan.

"I will send someone to give you a movie script this afternoon. After you make a budget, go to Tingmei Trading to apply for filming funds." After Zhang Heping said this, he took two bodyguards to the Economic and Trade Building to pick up his concubine to go home for dinner.

As for the next movie script, Zhang Heping already has an idea in mind: The Wolf of Wall Street!

Is it worth it for Zhang Heping to spend so much money to make a movie? Is it effective?

This needs to be discussed separately!

Zhang Heping had people shoot movies such as "The Pursuit of Happyness" and "The Wolf of Wall Street". The main purpose was to advertise the products and companies under the Heping Group, and secondly to export ideology.

Advertising is just spending money to gain publicity and increase fame, without seeking any substantial benefits.

Using movies to export ideology is also a form of empty talk. Whether or not you can change other people's views is not important. The key is to export it so that more people can see it. There will always be people who will be influenced.

For example, movies like Young and Dangerous and Concentration Camp!

...

Capital, north bank of Houhai Lake.

After Tang Ming received a call for help from his eldest son Tang Ren, he did not return to Hong Kong Island immediately, but brought his wife to Houhai to see his grandson.

Zhang Heping didn't want the Tang family to interfere in his business, and this had been very obvious over the years.

He would rather throw the big businesses worth hundreds of millions of magnesium yuan, such as LCD TVs, mobile phones, and CDs, to Tang Qiang and Tang Hai without making a penny than cooperate with them.

Now, Tang Qiang's grandson wants to join Heping Investment Company but is unable to do so. Tang Ren still wants him to go back and make this happen. There may be huge interests involved, and if things go wrong, the relationship may become strained!

Therefore, Tang Ming came to Houhai to find out the whole story from his grandsons Zhang Bei and Zhang Nan.

In Tang Ming's memory, Zhang Heping and Chen Shuting never avoided these children when they discussed business at home.

After Tang Ming brought the fruits into Zhang's living room, he learned from Ma Xiuzhen that Zhang Bei was in the Internet cafe outside, while Zhang Nan, Zhang Nian and others had gone out shopping.

Leaving his wife Xu Jiefeng chatting with Ma Xiuzhen in the living room, Tang Ming went straight outside. The shop on the left surrounded by many children was the Internet cafe opened by his grandson Zhang Bei.

"Little brat, stand away and don't block the door!"

The network administrator inside yelled, and the child who was originally blocking Tang Ming immediately squeezed under the windows on both sides of the store.

There were quite a few people in the Internet cafe, but the strange thing was that most of them were smoking cigarettes but didn't light them.

Tang Ming saw his grandson Zhang Bei, who was recording something in a notebook in the corner of the Internet cafe, so he called out and asked Zhang Bei to come outside.

...

Hong Kong Island, Yan He Yi Community.

After Zhang Heping and Chen Shuting went out in the afternoon, Tang Ren's sixth concubine found Tang Xin, asked her to play mahjong, and inquired about what stocks Heping Investment Company had bought.

"Ah Xin, as the general manager of Heping Investment Company, you really don't know what stocks your employees have invested in?" The second concubine was a little anxious and went straight to the topic of today without any concealment.

Tang Xin touched the cards and said casually, "I am just a tool for signing. My husband is in charge of the investment."

Tang Qiang's wife stood beside Tang Xin and looked at the two cards. She asked, "Fourth Aunt, when you were signing the documents, did you see the name of the Ridao listed company?"

"I see quite a few names of Ridao Company..." When Tang Xin said this, even the four women at the mahjong table next to her looked over.

However, Tang Xin was changing the order of mahjong while thinking about which card to play.

"Fourth aunt, which companies have you seen?" Tang Qiang's wife suppressed her excitement and looked at Tang Xin's profile with fiery eyes.

Tang Xin played a card and looked back at his niece-in-law. "I can't tell you this. And the names on the documents are all in Japanese. I can't understand them."

The group of women were happy for nothing. They looked at each other and were about to continue asking questions indirectly when Tang Ren arrived at the office of Heping Real Estate Company on the 3rd floor of the townhouse elevator apartment.

"Fourth sister, I want to confirm something with you." Tang Ren stood behind Tang Xin with a serious face.

Tang Xin glanced at Tang Ren and said casually, "What do you want to ask, brother?"

Tang Ren frowned and asked, "Are you going to withdraw your Peace Investment from Japan?"

Tang Ming heard from Zhang Bei that Heping Investment Company was going to withdraw its capital, and when it came to Tang Ren, it turned into the word "withdrawal of investment".

Withdrawing principal and withdrawing investment are two different concepts. Although Zhang Heping has to do both, there is a sequence of priorities.

When Tang Xin heard this question, she couldn't help but glance at the sisters-in-law around her. She was worried that they would tell others, so she chose to remain silent.

Tang Ren just came over to confirm, and after seeing Tang Xin's reaction, he was sure that what his father Tang Ming said was true.

Then, Tang Ren also imagined the reason why Zhang Heping did not take Tang Qiang to trade stocks. It was because Heping Investment Company was about to withdraw its investment from Japan, so how could he take him?

...

In the evening, Tang Xin told Zhang Heping, who had just returned home, about what happened in the afternoon, and emphasized that she had not leaked the fact that the company was going to withdraw its investment, so as to avoid being accused of being a gossipmonger again.

Zhang Heping didn’t take Tang Xin’s words seriously at first, but the next day, more than a dozen Japanese stocks fell and triggered three circuit breakers, with a drop of 20%!

After Japan found out that the securities account that triggered the decline belonged to Hong Kong, Miss Suzuki called Zhang Heping that night. After confirming again and again that Zhang Heping was not responsible for the decline, the woman tactfully asked Zhang Heping to help stabilize the stock price.

Zhang Heping agreed readily, and the next day he asked several fund managers to pay attention to the dozen or so stocks that were still falling, but he did not ask them to buy them immediately.

Because Zhang Heping used the backend data of the Heping Financial Software to find all the securities accounts that sold those dozen Japanese stocks.

By reviewing the Japanese stock trading data of yesterday, Tuesday, Zhang Heping found that the first to sell the dozen Japanese stocks were people from the Tang family, followed by a group of rich wives from the Heping Real Estate wives circle, and then some retail investors and companies followed suit and sold, causing the dozen Japanese stocks to plummet by 20%.

It was not until the Japan Stock Exchange opened in the afternoon that Zhang Heping confirmed that most of the short-selling accounts were fully invested in the sell orders. Only then did he instruct his fund managers to buy up those Japanese stocks that had fallen by more than 15%, and let them pull up big positive bars, making a net profit of more than 30% in one day!

The Japanese stock market allows one T+0, that is, stocks bought on the same day can be sold once on the same day.

In order to circumvent the supervision of Japan's Ministry of Finance, Zhang Heping never let his fund managers sell on the same day. They would hold on to their shares for a while before selling, ostensibly to avoid manipulating stock prices.

The day before yesterday, Tang Ren and his family heard that Peace Investment Company was going to withdraw its investment from Japan. After entrusting an order to sell its stocks yesterday, they fled to Taiwan.

After Peace Investment Company pushed up the prices of Japanese stocks that had no operating problems, the group of rich ladies at Peace Real Estate remembered to ask Tang Xin whether Peace Investment was going to withdraw its investment from Japan.

Tang Xin could only remain silent about this, because it involved her family's investment of tens of billions of magnesium yuan, and she dared not say anything to anyone.

As for Zhang Heping, he delayed his investment withdrawal plan because of this incident. He learned from Zhang Bei that it was his father-in-law Tang Ming who relayed the news of investment withdrawal to Tang Ren.

After that, it was probably Tang Ren’s sixth concubine who spread the word, causing the group of rich ladies at Heping Real Estate to sell their properties.

Fortunately, Japan's economic bubble is still in its expansion phase, so Zhang Heping is not in a hurry to withdraw his investment.

I just wonder if those rich ladies will go crazy and chase the rise when they find that Japanese stocks are still rising, and then call themselves stock gods!

...

September 9st, Monday morning.

Qu Zhouping, Director Wang, and Secretary Hou handed the disc of the movie "God of Gamblers" to Zhang Heping downstairs in the Economic and Trade Building, and said that the movie would be released simultaneously in the four islands of Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and Singapore at 7 o'clock that evening.

Zhang Heping took the CD and put the matter behind him.

All the fund managers of Peace Investment Company have returned. When it comes to giving them bonus incentives, there must be no delay to avoid causing internal conflicts.

In order to reduce conflicts, the 300 fund managers received the same mid-year bonus this time. Those fund managers who are quick and efficient have already enjoyed three weeks of paid vacation and do not need additional rewards.

The reason why they were given the same bonus was that the 300 fund managers, under the command of Zhang Heping, formed a linkage transaction of back and forth, left hand to right hand, etc. It was hard to say who made a profit or a loss, and the main responsibility lay with Zhang Heping.

After distributing the bonuses, Zhang Heping gave these fund managers a new task: to learn Japan's futures rules!

Tingmei Trading Company is still purchasing metal ores and metal ingots from abroad. The international price of metal materials has risen by 32%, and the prices of various metals in the futures market have risen by 56%.

If Heping Investment Company is blocked from withdrawing its investment in Japan, Zhang Heping plans to complete the withdrawal by delivering physical goods after the commodity futures contract expires.

With the liberalization of Japan's financial market, Zhang Heping can think of many ways to withdraw his investment.

The difficulty in withdrawing investment at present is that while ensuring the safe withdrawal of one's own funds, one cannot burst the economic bubble of Japan in advance!

Peace Investment Company will have to lie dormant for a while, while Stepmother Investment Company is still trying various ways to sell houses.

Just when Zhang Heping shifted the focus of his work to the Medical Research Institute, Huang Wenli, who had been to Wucheng, Beihu Province for two weeks, came back and called Director Wang to Hong Kong Island.

The Wucheng investment plan that Huang Wenli submitted for the second time was much more complete. Just based on the sentence "Wucheng is the central hub", Zhang Heping approved the investment plan and asked her to promote this investment project.

December 9th, Monday.

Capital University, School of Economics, Ideological and Political Classroom.

"Teacher, the banknotes of capitalist countries are called money, and the banknotes of socialist countries are also called money. Since capitalist countries can use capital, why can't socialist countries use capital? Isn't capital money?"

As soon as Zhang Nian asked this question, the classroom suddenly became quiet, and the other students' eyes moved back and forth between the teacher and Zhang Nian.

Just as the teacher was thinking about how to word and respond to the question from this capitalist's daughter, a tall and thin male student stood up from the first row.

He just said loudly: "My friend, capital is a kind of social power formed by the accumulation of surplus labor. It is a specific political and economic category in capitalist production relations. Capital is not entirely a concept of stock, nor is it the 'money' you mentioned!"

"My father said that capital can be divided into material capital, human capital, natural resources, technical knowledge, etc. It is not unique to capitalist countries." Zhang Nian heard the other party reciting Marxist-Leninist concepts, so he smiled and said: "In my understanding, banknotes are a kind of material capital. In many cases, capital is equivalent to money, and the power of capital is the power of money."

"Ahem!" The teacher on the podium coughed, not wanting to discuss this sensitive topic in class, lest other students be misled. "Student Zhang Nian, the education you received in Hong Kong Island may have some ideological conflicts with our education in the mainland. If you have any questions in this regard, you can ask me after class to avoid delaying the teaching time."

"Okay, teacher!" Zhang Nian sat back indifferently.

She just wanted to show her head so that everyone would remember her, because today's class is the first large class for freshmen, and students from five classes are gathered here.

Ever since this girl heard that her second sister Zhang Nan hosted the May Fourth Gala at school, she has been planning next year's New Year's Day Gala and May Fourth Gala.

In her plan, even if she can't be a host, she will still participate in one or two programs. The key is to become a celebrity in the school!

In class, most students were reluctant to discuss the topic of capitalism, but after class many students argued with Zhang Nian, the daughter of a foreign capitalist.

Zhang Nian was not afraid of them either, and his voice was loud and confident.

"You, that's you!" Zhang Nian put his left hand on his waist and pointed at a short boy in the front row with his right hand. He said in a clear and loud voice: "You said my family is a capitalist who exploits workers. You are talking nonsense without any investigation!"

"Do you know that my products are all processed by mainland factories? Even if there is exploitation of workers, it is done by mainland factories! Are you saying that there is still exploitation in your mainland?"

"Exploitation is generally reflected in wages, so how much wages are considered exploitation?"

"The average monthly salary of most workers in the mainland is only about 60 yuan, while the average monthly salary of workers in my product processing factory is more than 300 yuan, and the average monthly salary of employees in Hong Kong is more than yuan. I would like to ask if my family's high salary is considered exploitation?"
