Rebirth of the Financial Overlord

Sumitomo Group is involved in many industries. Before World War II, Japan’s aircraft and submarine Sumitomo supported investment. After the war, under supervision, Sumitomo developed into commodities, industrial manufacturing, electrical, chemical, financial real estate, and developed in various fields. All have enormous influence.

The most famous of these are Sumitomo Bank, Sumitomo Chemical and Nonferrous Metals Corporation.

Hundreds of years ago, Sumitomo was the largest copper group in Asia, the Sumitomo Copper Kingdom, which controlled almost the copper market in Asia.

At the beginning of World War II, Japan consolidated resources, Sumitomo made rapid progress, and opened up the tire rubber market, which has a pivotal position in the world.

Later, he entered the automobile brand manufacturing industry.

In the 1960s, Japanese automakers began to export their cars to expand their markets. Toyo Kogyo, the actual holding company of Mazda, also signed contracts with sales companies in various countries to export cars. However, the company judged that the Australian market, which is also a right-hand drive, has more potential, and established a wholly-owned company in Melbourne. Two years later, more than 600 Mazda R100s were exported.

In the early 1970s, the global oil crisis occurred. Because most of the models launched by Mazda were equipped with poor fuel consumption performance, the sales performance was sluggish, and Toyo was dragged into a financial crisis.

Thanks to the full support of Sumitomo Bank, it was able to get out of trouble. Therefore, in fact, Mazda's major shareholder is the Sumitomo Group.

The three most capable auto companies in Japan, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Sumitomo's asset management company and insurance company, are all major shareholders.

It can be said.

If Morgan and Rockefeller are half the masters of the United States, then Sumitomo, and Mitsui, who is closest to Sumitomo, represent half of Japan.

As the largest economic system in the United States, finance and commodities have laid the foundation for its economic status. Similarly, Sumitomo and Mitsui are also one of the largest pillars of the Japanese economy in terms of finance and industry.

If we cooperate deeply with Sumitomo, we can absorb some unique features of Japanese business operations to make up for our own shortcomings.

Don't underestimate the Japanese business methods.

Japan can deliver Japanese manufacturing to every corner of the world and become the second largest economic system in the world. In addition to the general trend, Japan's technology and operation are beyond reproach as the world's top cutting-edge level.

Compared with Sumitomo, Jiuding and First Industrial Co., Ltd. are almost the difference between a baby and a giant.

While drinking tea, Shen Jiannan chatted with Qiu Shuifu again, then got up to say goodbye.

Qiu Shuifu bowed to send him away, his face was not very good-looking, he was robbed of billions of dollars, but he still licked his face to talk about cooperation, since after the war until now, Sumitomo has never been so humble.

At this time, the president Yamada Danmaruji came over with an angry expression on his face: My lord, why do we have to cooperate with this person? He is so arrogant. We can definitely cooperate with Huaxia Coastal Capital. I believe that as long as we invest Sufficient funds, and they must be very happy.

Qiushuifu understood Yamada Danmaruji's anger very well, and he was also very annoyed in his heart.

Shen Jiannan was so domineering that he strangled Sumitomo Nonferrous Metals for billions of dollars of funds, but he still wanted to talk in a low voice, which is really disgusting.

But Sumitomo has no choice.

The rise of China is the general trend.

If Sumitomo does not cooperate with First International Capital, Pepsi and Coca-Cola may be role models, not to mention opening up the Chinese market, whether they can enter the door or not.

Others don't know that Jiuding Group is plotting against PepsiCo and Coca-Cola, but Qiushuifu knows very well that the two giant beverage groups have swept everything in other countries, but now they are suppressed in Shandong and cannot get out.

Every time it wants to acquire other companies and talk about cooperation, Jiuding Group will jump out to do things.

Although Sumitomo is rich, but compared with the financing speed of such a multinational financial giant, it is impossible to win at all. That bastard burns other people's money. If Sumitomo doesn't cooperate, he burns his own money.

Feel deeply aggrieved.

Qiu Shuifu said: You can understand the current market in Hong Kong after investigating.

Hongkong?

Yamada Danmaruji was at a loss, not knowing what Qiushuifu meant by mentioning the Hong Kong market at this time.

After saying hello, Yamada Danmaruji bowed and retreated back to the company, and called Fukuyama, the chief of the investigation section: 'Mr. Fukuyama, check what First International Capital is doing in Hong Kong. '

But at this time.

Li Zhiju, the son of Li Bancheng, felt a headache.

Half a year ago, Yun Ji Peng San approached Li Zhiju and proposed to buy ParknShop Supermarket and Demortal Company under Changhe.

These two companies are the test of Li Zhiju's father, Li Bancheng, how could he make a move.

Coupled with the fact that he looked down on Peng San's associations that wanted to clean up his crimes, Li Zhiju didn't even think about it, and directly rejected Peng San's request.

who knows.

This incident caused a hornet's nest,

Yunji opened a department store and supermarket called Yunshan near the stores of ParknShop and Watsons, and then fought a price war.

As long as Baijia and Watsons have the goods, Yunshan also has them, and the price is one-third lower than Baijia and Watsons.

Half a year down.

There are several supermarkets and stores near Yunshan, and the loss of customers is extremely serious. Some shops have also begun to ask for a reduction in rent, and some of the contracts have even expired, so they are not ready to rent.

start.

Li Zhiju didn't take it seriously either.

In Hong Kong, a price war with Changhe is not courting death.

With the support of HSBC Bank behind Changhe, the funds are inexhaustible and inexhaustible. Yunji is just a society, and there is nothing to fear.

But soon, Li Zhiju found that things were much more troublesome than he thought.

Yunji had originally monopolized the fruit wholesale market in the 18th district slums of Hong Kong, and controlled the fruit ports entering Hong Kong. This group of people transported a large number of clothing and department stores from the mainland, and the cost was extremely low. If it continues like this, it will be a disaster Trouble.

But every time I go to Peng San to discuss and make money together.

Peng San just replied, he insisted on going to the world and Baijia, and he didn't give any room for relaxation.

no way.

Li Zhiju had no choice but to use his connections to ask government departments to investigate Yunshan in terms of fire protection, food safety, and hygiene. However, the Hong Kong government seemed to have some scruples and did not take any action.

After looking at the financial status of several stores near Yunshan in the past six months, Li Zhiju held his head and felt a headache.

In half a year, these stores have turned from a monthly profit of tens of millions to a loss.

It's not a good sign in the long run.

But the official can't touch Yunji, and even crooked ways can't touch Yunji.

I don't know how many people in the 18th district rely on Yunji's security company and fruit shop for food. The Hong Kong government may not want to attack Yunshan because of this.

This damn Peng San, what on earth is he trying to do?

Li Zhiju couldn't figure out why Yun Ji had to go against Chang He even when he lost money.

Commercial competition, how can it be done like this.

This is simply malicious competition.

Selling, definitely can't sell, but it's useless to use the relationship, it seems that we can only fight a price war.

Li Zhiju is not a fool.

Yunji suddenly has such a large-scale financial support, it must be inseparable from his parent company Jiuding Group and even the First International Capital behind it.

Isn't it just that you have more money than anyone else, and whoever is afraid of whom.

Lisa. Get me an appointment with Mr. Meriwether.

Li Zhiju said to his secretary Lisa.

after an hour.

A Bentley parked at the HSBC Building, and Li Zhiju went upstairs with his secretary.

Upstairs to the president's office, Cohen Meriwether, president of HSBC Hong Kong, welcomed Li Zhiju into the office with a smile.

The relationship between Changhe and HSBC is well known to the world. Li can become the head of the four major families in Hong Kong, and the main supporters are Emperor and HSBC. The relationship between the two can be said to be closer than that between husband and wife.

After all, husband and wife can turn against each other and even kill each other for their own interests, but this relationship of interests is eternal.

They are all old acquaintances, or very familiar ones.

Cohen Meriwether asked his secretary to bring him coffee, and he said bluntly, Li, what's the matter in such a hurry to see me?

Li Zhiju said: That's right, Yunshan Department Store under Yunji has been fighting a price war with us recently. I don't want to alarm my father about this matter. I hope Mr. Meriwether can help me.

Cohen Meriwether nodded and said: 'This is a trivial matter, so naturally don't bother Mr. Li, how do you want me to help you. '

Li Zhiju said: The capital behind Yunshan is likely to be First International Capital, so it has always been confident. I would like to ask HSBC to borrow a sum of money to prevent the continued suppression of First International Capital.

Hearing this news, Cohen Meriwether showed a hint of arrogance: Li, it seems that you are very afraid of First International Capital.

The word fear made Li Zhiju a little unhappy.

But to be honest, he did feel a little scared.

First International Capital swept across Europe, causing the whole of Europe to be in a state of panic.

If the price war between Yunshan and Changhe was instigated by First International Capital, it would be really difficult to deal with.

This group company has banks and insurance under its umbrella, and financing is too convenient.

However, as the son of the richest man, how can he admit the fear in his heart, Li Zhiju said lightly: There is a saying in our Huaxia that is to be prepared. Profitable, I'm sure they will sit down and talk to me.

Cohen Meriwether spread his hands and explained: Lee. I don't mean anything else. I mean, First International Capital is not as scary as you think. According to my understanding, their strategy is a mixed Investments are often hedging targets, and before this, Capital One has lost 200 million US dollars in Hong Kong, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

loss?

Two hundred million dollars?

Li Zhiju was stunned for a moment.

It is rumored that First International Capital is invincible and has no defeat so far. It is simply a devil in the financial market. Every time there is a six-six-six in the market, it can directly scare a market to collapse.

Because of this, some media called Shen Jiannan, CEO of First International Capital, the god of speculation, the oriental devil, and gods with similar sounds.

But listening to Cohen Meriwether's words, First International Capital seems to have suffered a big loss from HSBC.

Li Zhiju took a sip from his teacup, and asked with great interest, Can you tell me what's going on?

There was a hint of pride in Cohen Meriwether's eyes.

As we all know, First International Capital has swept the financial market, but they don't know that it has signed a financial insurance contract with HSBC two years ago, and this contract, First International Capital has lost 200 million US dollars in the past two years.

Now, the distance to renew the contract is approaching again.

If they renew the contract, they will lose 300 million U.S. dollars based on the rising prices of Thai real estate.

If the contract is not renewed, it will be equivalent to a loss of 200 million US dollars in the past two years.

What is the undefeated god of war, the god of investment.

Cohen Meriwether is very familiar with the financial market, that arrogant guy is just a lucky gambler.

Just like Jesse Livermore, when luck is good, one person earns one-tenth of the annual gross national product of the United States, but as a result, without good luck, he becomes impoverished.

This kind of gambler has no need to be afraid at all.

Also picked up the coffee and took a sip, Cohen Meriwether shrugged and said, I can't tell you the specifics, but please believe me, there are no gods in this world, only created myths.

Li Liju didn't understand what he meant, but he didn't ask further.

Some businesses in the banking industry have confidentiality agreements and cannot be disclosed at will.

After discussing the matter of borrowing money, Li Zhiju walked out of the HSBC Building full of confidence, and the pressure in his heart dissipated a lot.

With the relationship between Changjiang and HSBC, there is no need for Cohen Meriwether to lie to himself. If Yunji wants to continue the price war, then he should play with them.

Just then, a woman in a white professional suit came over.

Li Zhiju was attracted on the spot.

The woman approaching her looked twenty-three or twenty-four years old. She was tall and plump, full of extreme temptation. Her white face was spotless and flawless, and her shawl-length hair was black and soft, dynamic and silky.

The most special thing is a pair of eyes, like a crescent moon, but misty and haunting, as if they are pouring out the troubles and passions of this world, making it hard to move away at a glance.

Naturally charming.

Li Zhiju only had these words in his mind.

But when he saw those eyes, he couldn't help it at all.

Those crescent-like eyes full of mist, and your tall but extremely plump figure, even Li Jiaxin, who is my father's favorite, can't compare.

A feeling of heartbeat arose spontaneously, Li Zhiju made a decision instantly, and greeted this woman: Miss, hello, I am Li Zhiju, can we get to know each other?

Suddenly being blocked by someone, Lu Xinyue wrinkled inconceivably.

Since I have been with Shen Jiannanzi for a long time, for some reason, my eyes have become like this, and because of this, I always attract some annoying flies.

Lu Xinyue staggered away, too lazy to talk to this kind of person, and prepared to go upstairs.

The contract between Capital One and HSBC is about to expire. This time, she came here just to discuss with HSBC to see if they can invest more.

Seeing that the beauty was about to leave, Li Zhiju hurriedly said, Miss, don't be afraid, I have no malicious intentions.

At this time.

Natasha, who followed behind, stood in front of Li Zhiju, her eyes were cold, as if she was looking at a dead person, which made people shudder.

Li Zhiju couldn't help but took a step back, but he still didn't give up, looked at Lu Xinyue who had gone away, and shouted: 'Miss, can you tell me your name. '
