Break out of the courtyard

Nichima Toudou, umbrella branch

"Dad, we only invested 200 million yen, that's not good!"

Zhu Chengguang, head of the Umbrella Company's Ridao branch, glanced at his eldest son who was speaking, then buried his head in the food in his lunch box.

The eldest son Zhu Yunluo continued, "Dad, even if you don't give face to Tang Qiang, you have to consider his father Tang Ren's face!"

Zhu Chengguang frowned, "Did they give you money?"

"No!" Zhu Yunluo, who is in his thirties, shook his head.

As soon as these words were spoken, the office fell into silence again, with only the sound of chewing food.

Zhu Yunluo was silent for a while, then said seriously: "Dad, even if you don't give face to the Tang family, you have to consider the relationship between the boss and the Tang family, don't you think?"

"Brother Luo!" Zhu Yunsheng, Zhu Chengguang's nephew and driver, interrupted, "Since you know the boss's relationship with the Tang family, do you know why the boss didn't invest in Tang Qiang's securities fund?"

"This time he is investing in an open-end fund that can be subscribed and redeemed at any time!" Zhu Yunluo defended, "Their Datang Investment Company has other funds. How do you know the boss didn't invest?"

"Mr. Wei said so!" Zhu Chengguang said, and then he quickened his eating speed.

Zhu Chengguang put down the plastic lunch box, wiped his mouth with a tissue, took another sip of tea, and then looked at his eldest son who had not touched the food, and said slowly:

"I fought for the Tang family all my life, and the money I earned was not even more than 50 yen. Do you still think 200 million yen is too little?"

Zhu Yunluo was speechless. This was the first time his father Zhu Chengguang talked about his previous salary and benefits.

...

"Boss Tang, only nine people from the Umbrella Rishima branch bought our fund, and the total amount is less than 9 million yen!" A blonde female secretary in her 1000s came into the office with two folders and said in Eagle language:

"Also, this is the security and cleaning service quote from the Umbrella Company. The monthly fee for the seven companies is 7 million yen, and the equipment fee..."

"So expensive?" Tang Qiang frowned and made a rough calculation in his mind. It would cost at least 170 million magnesium yuan per month!

The blonde secretary placed two folders on Tang Qiang's desk and continued, "Mr. Tang, hiring 16 bodyguards is really expensive! We can hire 16 security guards to guard the company, and it will only cost 3000 million yen per month."

The cost was suddenly reduced by eight-ninths, and Tang Qiang was immediately tempted.

Thinking about the fact that the umbrella company's Japan Island branch only bought less than 1000 million yen of fund shares, Tang Qiang's heart sank. The Tang family's former army has been disbanded!

Tang Qiang flipped open the quotation sheet from the Japanese branch of the Umbrella Company and looked at the equipment fee of 20 billion yen. He frowned and asked, "What is the price of a bodyguard from the Magnesium Country?"

"An ordinary bodyguard from Magnesium earns 1 to 5000 magnesium yuan a month. The price depends on whether he has been on the battlefield and whether he has killed anyone on the battlefield. But this is the local price in Magnesium. If Mr. Tang wants to hire a bodyguard from Magnesium, I can ask my friends for a quote."

The bodyguards of the Umbrella Company cost about 10 US dollars a month!

The price is high because these bodyguards have gun licenses and dare to shoot to protect their employers when in danger.

Tang Qiang naturally knew this, but he had not raised much money now, and it had to be dispersed among Datang Investment and six shell companies.

"Forget it!" Tang Qiang thought for a while and said, "We can hire security guards and cleaners ourselves, and buy a set of monitoring equipment."

...

Zhu Chengguang actually expected that Tang Qiang would give up the Umbrella Japan branch because their company's performance has not been very good. Only Hua Yingxiong Company continues to take care of their business, and then there is the support of the Umbrella head office.

After Zhang Heping returned to his home in Hong Kong Island on Sunday morning, he heard Wei Chunqiao, the head of the Umbrella Company, reporting to him about the situation in Ridao Dongdu. He also mentioned the matter of Zhu Chengguang and Tang Qiang without any emotion.

"Are there any employees who take out loans to invest in stocks?" Zhang Heping asked, obviously not caring about Tang Qiang's choice.

Wei Chunqiao frowned and thought for a while, "I haven't heard of anyone taking out loans to trade stocks. Boss, do you want me to arrange for someone to do some statistics?"

"They are all adults, just give them a reminder. Forcible restrictions will only lead to complaints!" Zhang Heping picked up the teacup and said casually:

"When Peace Investment launched its private equity fund, I gave them the opportunity to get rich. My stepmother also invested in Dongdu Real Estate and didn't forget about them. If there are still idiots who lose money here..."

Seeing Zhang Heping shaking his head, Wei Chunqiao smiled and said, "When the time comes, I'll buy him a piece of tofu and beat him to death!"

Zhang Heping took a sip of water and glanced at the neatly arranged newspapers on the coffee table. "Old Wei, if there is nothing else, go and get busy first!"

After speaking, Zhang Heping picked up the newspaper and Wei Chunqiao said goodbye and left.

Zhang Heping didn't care who Tang Qiang chose as his bodyguard, because the original intention of opening this umbrella company was to serve their Zhang family, but the operating method was different from other bodyguard companies.

Therefore, it doesn’t matter whether the Umbrella Japan Island branch has business or not, as long as they still have the courage to shoot.

It is somewhat regrettable that the Umbrella Company encountered obstacles in opening a branch in Shenzhen and failed to obtain the qualifications, let alone a gun license in the mainland.

Zhang Heping has not yet mentioned the matter of the Umbrella Shenzhen branch to Director Wang and others.

There's no need to waste favors on such small matters that can be resolved on their own after a while.

What's more, the mainland did not restrict the Zhang family from bringing Hong Kong bodyguards to the mainland, but they were not allowed to bring guns.

After lunch, Zhang Heping still took some time to check the financial movements of a number of accounts on Tang Qiang's side.

Datang Investment Company had 80 billion yen in its account, and another six shell companies had 6 billion yen in their accounts.

This amount of money is totally not enough to cover the market value of the real estate under the name of stepmother’s investment company!

Another reason why Zhang Heping did not sell the property to Tang Qiang was that he suspected that this guy wanted to get something for nothing.

Tang Qiang only needs to promise the real estate invested by his stepmother to Mei Guo Lao, and when Zhang Heping agrees to sell the house, Tang Qiang will let Mei Guo Lao transfer the money to Zhang Heping, and then Tang Qiang will use the real estate to get a loan from Ridao Bank.

As long as Tang Qiang can make a little profit from the price difference, he can multiply the funds in his hands several times.

If Tang Qiang was a little more ruthless and took out multiple loans for one house, he wouldn't have any financial problems!

Zhang Heping didn't notice anything unusual on Tang Qiang's side, so he started browsing the World Internet Forum. He also opened the "Zongheng Chess and Cards" software from his eldest son Zhang Bei's company. While reading the new posts on the forum, he also played Texas Hold'em.

Zhang Heping played this chess and card game without telling Zhang Bei, and there was no real-name authentication at that time, so Zhang Bei didn't know that his father was also playing the game in his company.

Sometimes, Zhang Heping would also make some suggestions in the feedback section in the upper right corner of the "Zongheng Chess and Cards" software.

For example, click on a pop-up ad to enter the ad web page to obtain the manufacturer's phone number, address, and product price; or click on an ad to receive happy beans, character portraits, etc.

Zhang Heping did not help his eldest son openly, but privately he had been paying attention to Zhang Bei's Capital Technology Co., Ltd.

Fortunately, this guy is obedient. He has already found Tang Wei and asked for cloud server resources to expand their company's chess and card game business overseas.

The QQ icon in the lower right corner was jumping. Zhang Heping took a look and saw that it was a message from Tang Wei, the technical manager of Umbrella Corporation, saying that Zhang Bei had just uploaded an online game called "Miracle".

Zhang Heping looked at the URL and found that it was the 2D game of gods, demons and monsters developed by his eldest son.

Looking at the 78 people online in this game, Zhang Heping suddenly had an idea for a prank.

I saw him typing away on the keyboard for a while and came up with a simple plug-in that made him invincible, attracted monsters, and accelerated.

Zhang Heping then registered an account in the Miracle game, named it "The World's Most Handsome Man", and then used the mouse to command this warrior account, rushing around in the game map, and reached level 63 in less than half an hour.

Then, Zhang Heping added automatic picking up and automatic selling functions to the plug-in.

When the number of online players in the game increased to 3289, Zhang Heping's warrior account had been upgraded to level 100, he had all the top-level equipment, and the gold coins in his backpack had reached the upper limit of 9 nines.

Zhang Heping walked the Warrior to the warehouse, opened the character, backpack, and warehouse interfaces, and then took a screenshot.

...

Capital Technology Co., Ltd., North Bank of Houhai.

"Xiaobei, look at the pinned post on the World Internet Forum!" Zhang Yi shouted excitedly, scaring everyone else in the company.

Then, a young boy exclaimed, "The first game account transaction in the history of online games, for only 100 million magnesium yuan?"

"The Miracle game was just launched today, how did this account get upgraded to the maximum level?" another boy exclaimed in surprise.

"Has the server been hacked? Has someone directly modified the game account parameters?"

"No! The server log shows that this account leveled up by killing monsters! But he killed monsters very quickly, which is totally unreasonable!"

"Hurry up and check, is there a loophole in our game?"

"Boss Zhang, the game channel is going crazy! Some players are protesting against the 'world's most handsome guy' for killing people indiscriminately in the game!"

"Boss Zhang, the 'most handsome guy in the world' has entered the city, and many players are complaining that the game is unfair!"

"boss Zhang……"

While listening attentively to his employees' reports, Zhang Bei refreshed the message on the pinned post on the World Internet Forum. He wanted to see if anyone would spend 100 million magnesium yuan to buy a virtual game character.

However, as the poster continued to post screenshots of him killing other players in the game, the comment section of this pinned post was gradually filled with insults.

"The pinned post has been locked!" Zhang Yi shouted excitedly, "Sold! This account has been sold!"

Following this shout, others returned to the forum homepage and saw the words [Sold] before the name of the pinned post!

"All the insults in the post were deleted. At the end of the post, there was a screenshot of an electronic bank transfer and a screenshot of an email reply with the account number and password. Does this mean the game account transaction is complete?"

"One million magnesium yuan? Just to buy a game account? This is incredible!"

"This can't be true! Our company has been in business for so long and hasn't even made 100 million RMB, and this game account was sold for 100 million RMB?"

"The number of online players in the Miracle Game has exceeded 1!"

“Four million!”

"Dad!" Zhang Bei walked towards the company entrance holding his phone, "Did you create that million-dollar gaming account just now?"

Zhang Heping, who was in the study room of his home in Hong Kong Island, said with a smile on the phone, "I originally wanted to post it on the forum and sell it myself in a few days, but Tang Lie transferred 100 million magnesium dollars to me, so I had to sell it today!"

Zhang Bei was stunned for a while before asking, "Dad, is Internet trading promising?"

Zhang Heping couldn't help but laugh when he heard this question. "You reacted quickly! The trading of game accounts, equipment, and gold coins is a blank market. It requires a lot of people to play games in order to support this market."

"In addition, the online shopping market is much broader than offline delivery of goods, and can include all walks of life and sell goods all over the world."

Zhang Bei thought for a moment, then said excitedly: "Thank you, Dad! I understand what you mean!"

Zhang Heping smiled and said, "I sent a game cheat to your email address. You guys can figure out how to fix the game bugs yourself!"

After the father and son hung up the phone, Zhang Bei took a deep breath and calmed himself down as quickly as possible.

After a while, Zhang Bei returned to the company, opened his email and took a look. Then he stood up and said to the people in the company: "Starting today, our company will be divided into four business groups."

"Group 1 is responsible for advertising business, Group 2 is responsible for the daily operation of Zongheng chess and card games, Group 3 is responsible for the daily operation of Miracle Games, and Group 4 is responsible for the development of online shopping websites!"

...

Zhang Heping invested the 100 million yuan he earned from selling the account into the Hong Kong and Macau media and advertised Miracle Game.

The gimmick of selling a max-level account for 100 million magnesium dollars is still very attractive.

The Miracle game was launched for only 3 days, and the number of people online at the same time reached 30!

The online game is so popular that Zhang Heping doesn’t even need to advertise it specifically.

The question facing Zhang Bei and his team now is how to realize the maximum benefits?

When Zhang Bei called his father Zhang Heping, Zhang Heping asked him to add "feedback" and "questionnaires" to the game and find ways to monetize based on player needs.

Zhang Heping could actually copy the operating model of the "Zhengtu" game from his previous life, but he didn't say it, leaving more room for his eldest son to play.

Many times, children only want their parents’ support and don’t want their parents to interfere too much, especially if they think it’s for their own good.

Putting aside Zhang Bei's small business, Zhang Heping connected to an institution on Wall Street through Tang Qiang's personal account, and then connected to 158 Ridao Dongdu Securities accounts.

The total funds in these accounts only add up to 1293 billion yen, but the market value of the stocks they hold is 3977 billion yen, which is equivalent to more than 30 billion magnesium dollars. This is a considerable foreign institution!

Zhang Heping carefully checked the 158 Dongdu Securities accounts and linked them to the account of his eldest nephew Tang Lie.

In other words, Tang Qiang is not the only one speculating in stocks. His elder brother Tang Lie in Magnesium is also involved in the Japanese stock market.

March 3th, Friday morning.

The 80 billion yen in Datang Investment Company's account was distributed among five small-cap Japanese stocks.

The 6 billion yen in the accounts of the six shell companies has been paid out to buy 100 properties in Toudu.

But two weeks later, on the day when China and Portugal signed a joint statement on the Macau issue, the funds in the accounts of the six shell companies reached 6 billion yen.

Among them, there were loans from two banks and funds transferred into the personal accounts of 2 people.

Just when Zhang Heping guessed that the six shell companies would continue to buy houses and take out loans, which would eventually lead to a break in the capital chain, they bought all of the five Japanese small-cap stocks that Datang Investment Company had previously bought the next day, causing Datang Investment to withdraw 6 billion yen in half a day!

What surprised Zhang Heping was that the six shell companies took advantage of Japan's daily T+6 selling opportunity and sold out all the Japanese stocks they bought that day at any price before the afternoon market closed, recovering 0 billion yen.

After all this inflow and outflow, Tang Qiang had a total of 544 billion yen in funds, of which 319 billion yen seemed to have no risk. Even if he didn't care about the life or death of the six shell companies, Tang Qiang had made back the principal and interest.

However, on the second day of the market holiday, Saturday afternoon on the 28th, Datang Investment made another outrageous move, claiming that their fund returns exceeded the expected returns in the contract and liquidated early!

After Wei Chunqiao reported the matter to Zhang Heping, Zhang Heping asked Zhu Chengguang, the head of the umbrella company's Ridao branch, to send him a copy of the Datang Investment Company's fund contract for review.

According to the fund contract of Datang Investment, the expected capped return is 50%.

Including the two weeks of operations that Tang Qiang and his team spent on the Japanese stock market, it has only taken Datang Investment more than a month from the time it raised funds to now.

As a result, the return on investment was as high as 77.22%!

The key point is that all liquidations of Datang Investment Company have been fulfilled!

The only drawback is that Datang Investment provides everything in Japanese yen, and customers need to convert it into magnesium or Hong Kong dollars at the bank.

The reason why Zhang Heping said that this kid's operation was quite cool was because Datang Investment Company started selling funds again and caused a scramble.

In addition, of the 6 billion yen in the accounts of the six shell companies, 225 billion yen was spent to buy 201 properties in Toudou.

Time quietly came to Wednesday, April 4st, and the rich wives in the Heping real estate circle gathered in the Renheyi community again.

When Zhang Heping and Chen Shuting returned home at noon, the rich ladies sitting in the living room of the Zhang family started asking questions one after another.

"Mr. Zhang, did Mr. Qiang from Datang Investment Company get such a high rate of return from inside information from you?"

"Mr. Zhang, are you cooperating with Datang Investment Company?"

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Qiang said that there is no expected return on the fund launched this time. How much return do you think he can earn this time?"
