Chapter 839: Withdraw 10 Trillion Yen First

"Your Excellency, I am a reporter from the Asahi Shimbun. Is the 500 trillion yen bailout announced at noon true? Have you considered the consequences of doing so?"

"Hello, this is the Hong Kong Commercial Daily. Do you really want to issue 500 trillion yen in excess? Aren't you afraid that doing so will trigger the Asian financial crisis?"

"Hello, New York Times. You have over-issued 500 trillion yen. Are you preparing to withdraw from international settlement currency?"

"Hello, Reuters. Does your Ministry of Finance have anyone who understands economics? Do you know how much impact the over-issuance of 500 trillion yen will have on global finance?"

……

The minister of the Ministry of Finance avoided the reporters and entered the conference room. He looked at the Cultural Exchange Department and shouted angrily, "In the face of national crisis, who leaked the news to the Peace Group?"

"Baka!" The short and thin minister of the Cultural Exchange Department said disdainfully, "You have contacted various countries to buy Japanese stocks in a big way, and you still want to keep it secret from the Peace Group. You are really stupid people without any common sense!"

"Let's get down to business!" The fat middle-aged man who presided over the meeting said in a deep voice, "The weekend's action worked. The short sellers, led by the Peace Group, slowed down their short selling offensive this morning, which allowed us to successfully stop the stock market crash this afternoon."

"Next, let's discuss the 500 trillion yen bailout announcement released by the Ministry of Finance. When will it be clarified?"

"Clarify? Humph!" The short and thin Minister of the Ministry of Cultural Exchange snorted coldly, "Some people naturally want to clarify as late as possible, so that they can resign later!"

"If you don't understand economics, don't speak!" The Minister of the Ministry of Finance said coldly: "Such a large-scale over-issuance of yen will definitely scare away the funds controlled by the Hong Kong people in the Peace Group."

"As long as they convert the yen into foreign currencies, the short-selling forces will be reduced by half, and the remaining short-selling institutions will be from Europe and the United States. Magnesium will definitely not watch our Japanese financial system collapse. At that time..."

"Excuse me, I don't know much about economics, but I want to ask you something!" The short and thin Minister of the Cultural Exchange Department said with a fake smile:

"I heard that Peace Group, Peace Investment, and Stepmother Investment bought some options with foreign currency this morning. I wonder what these options are used for?"

The options that the old man was talking about were naturally put options, which are the financial instruments used by the Peace Group to hedge risks.

The key point is, the old man hit the nail on the head, it was bought with foreign currency!

This short and thin old man wanted to get rid of those guys in the Ministry of Finance, so naturally he would not give them the opportunity to redeem themselves from their crimes. As early as the day before yesterday, he leaked the relevant plans of the Ministry of Finance to Zhang Heping through Aso Taro.

In addition, funds from various European and American institutions abnormally converted into Japanese yen and entered their respective Japanese stock accounts. How could Zhang Heping not take precautions?

Otherwise, why did he talk about hedging risks last night instead of saying it earlier or later?

With his ability to spy on the backend data of the bank's electronic trading system, he not only knew the capital movements of various institutions very well, but at least he paid close attention to them. There was no need for him to engage in inefficient hedging operations.

The Minister of the Ministry of Finance was silent for a while. He didn't know how to defend himself, so he just pretended to be deaf and dumb and continued to talk about his plan, "We can then introduce European magnesium funds for listed Japanese companies and expand the European magnesium market."

"This not only solves the problem of product sales, but also solves the debt problems of related companies."

"If you are a large European organization, would you like to acquire Japanese companies at a high price? Or would you like to wait until the stock prices of Japanese companies plummet before buying them?" The short and thin Minister of the Ministry of Cultural Exchange asked again:

"You guys actually turned a blind eye to this bastard's wishful thinking plan and let him mess around."

The short and thin old man shook his head and sighed, "It's already this late, and you still expect this idiot to take all the responsibility and then wait for him to resign."

The Minister of the Ministry of Finance was destined to resign, and the others thought that since that was the case, they might as well let the people from the Ministry of Finance make use of their remaining energy.

What if they really solve the problem with Japanese stocks?

Shenzhen Peace College, Villa No. 1.

Zhang Heping had no idea about the twists and turns of those Japanese guys. After he assigned the afternoon space capsule experiment to his assistant, he stayed in front of the computer in the study, thinking about whether he should withdraw the funds from Japan first.

The gimmick of 500 trillion yen to rescue the market sounds intimidating, but from the news from Taro Aso, Zhang Heping learned that the time span of investing this money in the Japanese stock market is quite long, and it is the so-called rescue fund to stabilize the Japanese stock market in the next years!

Yes, Japan's Ministry of Finance has thrown a big smoke bomb to the whole world.

However, the Japanese had contacted people from European and American countries in advance. They must have received support from Europe and America, so they dared to do such a thing at the risk of losing their international credibility.

Judging from the fact that Japanese stocks fell first and then rose today, those European investors who got the news and entered the market in advance have gained at least 30% in today's Japanese stock market.

On the computer in front of Zhang Heping, there is a page showing the account profit rankings of European and American people.

The first one is a private account, the account name is Johnson, this person is the husband of the sister of the mother of the wife of the general manager of the Magnesium Country.

Looking at the accounts below, they are inextricably linked to the leaders of various countries.

Zhang Heping was thinking, if he continued to short Japanese stocks and reduced the money in these European and American people's accounts to zero, would they hate the Japanese more?

Or do they hate Japanese people more?

What made Zhang Heping hesitate was that European Magnesium funds entered Japan in the past two days, giving Stepmother Investment Company an excellent opportunity to withdraw its investment.

Peace Group and Peace Investment do not have much funds in Japan. Last month, they followed Stepmother Investment Company and used high leverage to short Japanese stocks.

But the stepmother investment company has more than 10 trillion yen, which is equivalent to more than 100 billion magnesium yuan!

The reason why Zhang Heping wanted to acquire Japanese car companies was because he had so much money that he could not withdraw it from Japan in a short period of time.

Of course there is another reason. After he acquires the Japanese car companies, he wants to replace the logos of Toyota, Honda, Nissan and other companies with the word "Peace" at the beginning, such as Peace Toyota and Peace Honda.

In a few years, the suffix will be removed, leaving only Peace Automobile on Japan Island!

In his previous life, Zhang Heping had heard that after foreign capital entered the mainland, it acquired mainland brands and then abandoned them and only sold foreign products.

Zhang Heping plans to replicate this operation, but Aso Taro has not given any definite information, so the Japanese car company may not be able to acquire it!

You know, a few years ago, in order to allow Heping Investment to acquire a Japanese listed company, Zhang Heping also shorted Japanese stocks.

Finally, it was only by listing Peace Auto in Japan that it gained controlling stakes in three Japanese pharmaceutical companies.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Heping sent an email to the fund manager of Stepmother Investment Company and made a phone call at the same time, asking them to withdraw 10 trillion yen first.

The reason why Zhang Heping made this decision was that he thought of the 200 billion magnesium yuan investment project in Shanghai.

In addition, companies such as Heping Aerospace, Wucheng Shipbuilding, and Shaanxi Aircraft Technology still need large amounts of capital investment.

Under the joint restrictions of the 33 allied countries of Magridfa, the profits of Tingmei Trade will be greatly reduced, so funds must be reserved in advance.

What's more, if Stepmother Investment misses this opportunity to withdraw the investment, it will not be so easy to withdraw the investment again.

As a result, after the Japanese learned that Stepmother Investment Company wanted to exchange Japanese yen for foreign currencies such as magnesium dollars, British pounds, and marks, all the Japanese banks in Dongdu took action and fully cooperated with Huifeng and Bank of China's Dongdu branch to see Stepmother Investment off and take the money and leave.

Because Stepmother Investment Company was not so stubborn as to only exchange for magnesium dollars, the 10 trillion yen was exchanged very quickly. Many banks worked overtime and finally completed this big business before the Japanese stock market opened the next day.

At this point, many people felt relieved.

Because there is only 5.2 trillion yen left in the stepmother's investment account, even if the yen in the Peace Group and Peace Investment accounts are added, it does not exceed 10 trillion.

With high leverage, this money can still be used to short Japanese stocks and pose a huge threat.

However, Japanese people feel that the large-scale withdrawal of investment by Stepmother Investment Company itself represents a signal that the Heping Group has lost confidence in shorting Japanese stocks!

Regardless of what the Japanese people thought, Zhang Heping took time out the next morning to go to Hong Kong Island. He called the fund managers of Heping Investment and Stepmother Investment to the large conference room of Heping Group and held a briefing with the financial team of Heping Group.

"I'll make it short!" Zhang Heping stood at the top of the conference room, looking at the eagerly awaited fund managers at Stepmother Investment Company, as well as the envious expressions of the employees at Peace Group and Peace Investment, and said calmly:

"Stepmother Investment cashed out 10 trillion yen last night. According to my previous promise, the fund manager of Stepmother Investment can get a 3% management bonus, which is about 24 billion yen!"

Boom~

As soon as Zhang Heping finished speaking, the entire conference room exploded with noise.

Compared with the 6% management bonus distributed by Peace Investment Company a few years ago, although this time the bonus was 3% less, the number of people who received the bonus was also smaller, with only 108 fund managers.

Therefore, each fund manager would get about 2 million magnesium yuan, or about 1.54 million Hong Kong dollars, making them billionaires by definition.

After Zhang Heping and the others calmed down, he continued, "This management bonus will be put on the account first. At the end of the year, it will be paid out together with the management bonuses from Peace Group and Peace Investment. Do you have any objection?"

Upon hearing this decision, the expressions of everyone present relaxed.

The head of the Stepmother Investment Company glanced at his subordinates and saw that no one was a troublemaker. Then he stood up and said, "Master, we have no objection. We will follow your arrangements!"

Zhang Heping stretched out his left hand, pressed the other party, and motioned for him to sit down, then said: "The reason for this decision is that although the money has been exchanged, the Japanese stock market has not yet been completed, so don't let your guard down."

"Also, everyone, please recite the confidentiality agreement again when you return home. If there is anything, please communicate promptly. Don't lose sight of the big picture because of the small details!"

"Okay, let's break up the meeting!"

Zhang Heping waved his hand, ignored the employees who were making noise again behind him, walked straight out of the meeting room, then picked up his vibrating cell phone and called President He, Chairman Guo and others one by one.

He withdrew his investment last night, but naturally did not tell Chairman He and Chairman Guo, because this was an internal business behavior of the company and did not need to be explained to outsiders.

Chairman He and his colleagues called just to ask Zhang Heping about his views on Japanese stocks, whether to go long or short, and they wanted to follow Zhang Heping in doing the same.

However, when it comes to stock trading, it's easy to turn friends into enemies because of a piece of wrong information.

Zhang Heping didn't even bring Tang Lie, Tang Qiang and others to trade stocks together, let alone other people.

Therefore, Chairman He and Chairman Guo only asked about Zhang Heping's opinion that he was not optimistic about Japanese stocks and believed that Japanese stocks would continue to fall.

However, after they learned that Zhang Heping had returned to Hong Kong Island, they hurried over.

When Zhang Heping was wandering around the Heping Smart Technology Company, the head of the nearby China Resources Group came over first, followed by CITIC Rong Lao, Baochuan Wang and others.

After the eldest son Zhang Bei's company was acquired by Tang Wei, it was renamed Heping Smart Technology Capital Branch and Heping Smart Technology Shenzhen Branch.

The original Hong Kong Island Technology Company was directly absorbed into Peace Smart Technology Company and became the QQ Game Department.

Tang Wei followed Zhang Heping and introduced the recent development of Heping Smart Technology Company and the staffing of each department.

"Master!" Tang Wei said as he followed Zhang Heping to the QQ Business Department, "Our QQ users have exceeded 1 million. If we can add some additional paid items, this department will be able to achieve high profits this year."

"How high can it be?" Zhang Heping's tone was flat, and no emotion could be heard.

Seeing that Tang Wei, the young man, was about to say something, the charter boat king next to him smiled casually and said, "Xiao Tang, you saw that your stepmother's investment company made hundreds of billions of dollars, so you want to help Mr. Zhang make a lot of money too!"

When Tang Wei heard about the huge profit of several hundred billion magnesium yuan, he immediately shut up. He guessed that Zhang Heping looked down upon the profit from the QQ additional project.

"Remember!" Zhang Heping turned sideways and looked at this subordinate who had been following him since he was in his teens, "Free things are the most expensive!"

Zhang Heping turned around, walked behind an artist, pointed at the monitor in front of her, and said, "Your QQ Show clothes are not fancy enough and lack imagination."

"Read more foreign fashion magazines, movies, and animations, and go out more often instead of staying at home."

Zhang Heping looked at what a few nervous artists were drawing and then walked out of the QQ Business Department.

"When smartphones become popular, QQ, a chat tool that doesn't charge fees like text messages, will become a must-have for every mobile phone user." Zhang Heping said to Tang Wei, who was following closely behind him, without even turning his head:

"QQ is a treasure trove. The better you make it, the more traffic you can attract in the future."

"It will be very easy to develop advertising, games, novels, online shopping, online payment, short videos and other businesses around QQ's huge traffic."

"Is 1 million users a lot?" Zhang Heping stood at the elevator door and turned to look at Tang Wei behind him. "Think about how many people there are in this world?"

"Yes!" Tang Wei, general manager of Peace Wisdom Technology Company, nodded and said, "I understand, Master!"

"Next, I will ask the people in the QQ business department to continue to improve the product and attract more overseas users."

"The marketing level of the QQ business department is not good enough. You should recruit some marketing talents with active thinking for them." Zhang Heping suggested:

"Like those QQ Show clothes, you can set up sign-in punch card to receive, or invite new users to register to reward, or reach a certain number of QQ friends, online time to reward a certain piece of clothing."

"Anyway, just find ways to motivate users and don't just foolishly update the QQ Show costumes, and that's it!"

Tang Wei scratched his head and smiled innocently, "I was negligent. I will go to a meeting to discuss this matter and try to make more positive adjustments to QQ space, email, Weibo, music, etc."

"Okay, no need to see me off!" Zhang Heping walked into the elevator, pressed and held the door open button, and waited for President He, Charter King and others to come in.

The elevator door closed, and the head of China Resources Group laughed and said, "After listening to what Mr. Zhang said just now, I feel that QQ chat tool is an incredible software."

Chairman Guo smiled and said, "I just checked the stock of Peace Wisdom Technology Company, and the market value has risen to 1.5 trillion Hong Kong dollars."

Chairman He joked, "Mr. Zhang, I want to protest. We have been buying Peace Wisdom Technology Company's shares for so long, but we have never received any dividends. This is unacceptable!"

"How dare you say that!" Zhang Heping stood next to the elevator button, looking at this group of old friends, and said with a smile: "I originally planned to delist and privatize Heping Smart Technology Company after it had been losing money for a few years."

"You guys are so good that you persuaded the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to change its rules and no longer force listed companies to pay dividends!"
