Chapter 661: Cheating Again: Net Inflow of Funds is Positive
On Friday, after the Japanese stock market closed in the afternoon, Zhang Heping left Heping Investment Company and went to Tingmei Trading.

Affected by the magnesium industry, Tingmei Trading's profit in January was halved, with revenue of only 1 billion magnesium yuan.

Of course, the suspension of sales of Heping brand computers and servers also affected Tingmei Trading’s profits.

I want to ask why Zhang Heping doesn’t lower the price of the old configuration computers and then seamlessly launch the new configuration computers?
The main reason is that we don’t want to participate in price wars, which will only lower the brand image and affect other products under Tingmei Trading!

Secondly, all the Peace brand computers produced recently will be donated to schools in the mainland.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhang is here!"

After receiving a phone call from her secretary, Chen Shuting glanced at the time on her watch, then reluctantly put down the order list, rubbed her cheeks, put on her smiley bag and walked out of the office.

"Honey, Sakura Bank and London Bank have also accepted our early repayment!" Chen Shuting took Zhang Heping's arm and walked out with a smile.

Chen Shuting knew that her man didn't care much about money, so she didn't want to look gloomy in front of Zhang Heping, as that would be unpleasant.

However, after living together for so many years, how could Zhang Heping not understand what his partner was thinking?

"Just leave the Tingmei Trading business to your subordinates and don't worry about temporary gains and losses!" Zhang Heping put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked slowly towards the elevator.

"Yeah!" Chen Shuting responded softly.

In addition to Tingmei Trading, Chen Shuting is also busy with the acquisition of metal raw materials, Hong Kong stocks and the like.

With bodyguards clearing the way, Zhang Heping took his concubine down to the underground first floor by elevator and got into the first batch of MPV commercial vehicles produced by the Heping Automobile Factory.

Unfortunately, this car is not bulletproof. It only has bulletproof fibers filled inside the doors, so the safety factor is a bit poor.

Those Land Cruiser bulletproof vehicles can still be driven, but the Peace Automobile Company has been listed, and he, as the boss behind the scenes, has to pay attention to some impacts.

If the Zhang family doesn’t use Peace Cars, why would other Hong Kong celebrities follow suit and use Peace Cars?

You know, there are still a lot of luxury cars and sports cars these days!

Back on Taiping Mountain, Tang Ren and his six wives were playing mahjong on the flat ground, including his first wife Tang Xin.

After saying hello to them, Zhang Heping went home to surf the Internet and check the positive news about Japanese stocks that were spread today.

Tang Ren didn't have a chance to talk to Zhang Heping alone in the past few days. Seeing that his own company had started working, he couldn't wait any longer.

So, seeing Tang Xin frequently looking back at her villa, Tang Ren suggested not playing mahjong anymore, and then followed her into Zhang's villa.

In the Zhang family's study on the second floor, when Tang Ren came in, he saw Zhang Heping sitting behind his desk, staring at the four LCD monitors in front of him.

"Brother-in-law, I want to ask you something!" Tang Ren said, then walked closer to Zhang Heping's desk to avoid seeing anything he shouldn't see.

"Sit down and talk!" Zhang Heping pointed to the plastic stool on the left, his eyes still fixed on the monitor.

Tang Ren put the plastic stool next to Zhang Heping, looked at the densely packed pop-up windows and web pages on the monitor, and asked, "Do you know about the Sino-Magnesium cooperation in chip development?"

Zhang Heping nodded, "I know, but I didn't participate."

When Tang Ren heard that Zhang Heping was not involved in chip research and development, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

The main reason he came back this time was to inquire about the chip production in the mainland, because Taiwan was also building a chip production base, and the Tang family had also invested in it.

Tang Ren was silent for a while, then asked again: "I heard that you provided the latest chip technology in China. Is that true?"

Zhang Heping said calmly, "I have been busy with Japanese stocks and hospital affairs in the past two years. Do you think I have time to work on chips?"

Tang Ren fell silent again. He had recently asked Tang Xin, Tang Hu and others and found out that Zhang Heping was indeed busy speculating in stocks. In his free time, he was either at home or in the hospital.

Tang Ren didn't say anything and Zhang Heping ignored him. He sent some messages to Tang Wei, Qu Zhouping and others on QQ and changed some of the message copy.

Then he turned off the computer and invited his brother-in-law to come downstairs for dinner.

Tang Ren walked to the stairs and suddenly said, "Heping, can you get the latest chip information from the mainland?"

Zhang Heping turned around and looked at Tang Ren in surprise. Then he frowned and went downstairs without saying a word. His refusal was self-evident.

Tang Ren knew that he had said the wrong thing. Not to mention how much the latest chip information was worth, just for the sales of Heping computers, Zhang Heping would not give him the chip information. That was a business worth tens of billions of magnesium yuan.

Tang Ren felt embarrassed to stay at Zhang's house for dinner, so he walked out awkwardly, and Zhang Heping did not try to keep him.

Zhang Heping had already guessed from Tang Ren's evasive words that he was doing something to help Taiwan Island.

If Tang Ren was working for a magnesium company, he would most likely propose to join the cooperation.

However, due to the current cross-strait relations, there was no possibility of cooperation with the Taiwanese company, which gave him the idea of ​​becoming a spy to steal chip information from the mainland.

Zhang Heping took the bowl of soup handed over by his first wife Tang Xin and said calmly, "When you have time, persuade your eldest brother to move to a different place for retirement. There is no future for development in Taiwan!"

Tang Xin didn't know what Tang Ren had just said. With her children present, she didn't dare to ask too much and could only nod lightly.

"Back then, you went to Taiwan to seek refuge with your uncle's family, but why did you end up in Malaysia?" Zhang Heping said calmly, "Don't forget the pain after the wound has healed!"

After he finished speaking, Zhang Heping didn't say anything else, which made Tang Xin secretly relieved. She wondered in her heart what her elder brother said upstairs that made her husband complain like that!
That night, Chairman He called and asked Zhang Heping to play golf with him, probably because of the Heping Group's investment in Hong Kong stocks, or maybe because of the Japanese stock market trend that had been blowing in the past two days.

Zhang Heping made an appointment with them on Sunday afternoon because Heping Investment Company had a lawsuit with the Japanese Ministry of Finance on Sunday morning, which required the Japanese people to work overtime to handle it.

As for tomorrow, Saturday, there is still a lot of technical writing to do!

...

The next morning, Zhang Heping did not go out.

When his third nephew Tang Qiang came to visit, he was shocked to find that Zhang Heping was directing his men in front of the computer to spread various news.

Tang Qiang stood quietly for a long time, and only after his fourth aunt Tang Xin came up to call them for lunch did he ask, "Uncle, the recent rumors that Japanese stocks are going to rise sharply, weren't they all arranged by you?"

"What do you think?" Zhang Heping asked back, which silenced Tang Qiang.

However, the news this morning went smoothly, and financial channels in various countries released positive news about Japanese stocks, which obviously had other capitals fueling the trend.

I just don’t know whether these capitals are trapped in Japanese stocks or are idle funds withdrawn from stock markets in various countries.

Of course, none of this matters. All that matters is that the good news about Japanese stocks spreads.

Therefore, Zhang Heping, who was in a good mood, gave his nephew some pointers at this time, "Stock trading is just like doing business. It is not advisable to just invest money in products. You also need to advertise the products and expand sales." Tang Qiang seemed to have been enlightened, and asked with shining eyes, "Uncle, is this the trading method of the main capital?"

"This is just a primer!" Zhang Heping said with a smile as he walked downstairs: "The shopping mall is like a battlefield, and so is the stock market!"

"You first need to know who your competitors are. If conditions permit, you can send some corporate spies to your competitors' companies to learn about their financial movements."

"Secondly, you have to select allies with whom you can exchange interests! When necessary, if you are willing to help him take over, he will also help you take over, and the two sides can raise the stock price."

"There are also collusion with the top management of listed companies to manipulate stock prices, or stealing the commercial secrets of listed companies, etc. The main funds have many means. Don't be like those retail investors and believe in value investment!"

"Yeah!" Tang Qiang kept nodding his head, thinking about what Zhang Heping had just said.

Tang Qiang is thicker-skinned than his father Tang Ren. After staying at Zhang's house for lunch at noon, he followed Zhang Heping to the study on the second floor and silently watched Zhang Heping spread various news favorable to Japanese stocks.

After dinner, Zhang Heping took his wife and children out for a walk to digest the food, and Tang Qiang then returned to the house next door.

Then, this guy was stunned by his father's question.

Tang Ren frowned and asked again: "You were next door for a day, didn't you ask about the chip?"

Tang Qiang looked at the vase beside him embarrassedly, "Dad, that, I forgot!"

"Forgot?" Tang Ren frowned even deeper, "What did you do next door all day?"

As soon as he talked about today's events, Tang Qiang became interested. He quickly sat down next to his father and said excitedly in a low voice, "I found out which Japanese stocks my uncle is going to buy!"

"Stocks?" Tang Ren frowned and looked at his son. "Have you been looking at stocks over there all day?"

"Not looking at stocks!" Tang Qiang glanced at the direction of the stairs, making sure that the sound of mahjong upstairs had not stopped and that no gossiping women had come over, and then he whispered:

"My uncle is arranging people to spread news that is good for Japanese stocks today."

As he spoke, Tang Qiang also turned on the TV in the living room, pointed to the financial channel of London, and said, "For example, on this channel, my uncle arranged for someone to buy 12 seconds of time in the 18 o'clock financial news to report that Peace Motors released a new MPV model and that the major shareholder would repurchase the shares of Peace Motors."

Tang Qiang looked at his watch and said, "In another hour and a half, the London Financial Channel will report the news I just mentioned."

Tang Ren was puzzled, "Why is he doing this?"

"Manipulate the stock price!" Tang Qiang's voice was low but firm. "Dad, my uncle has invested trillions of yen in stocks in Japan. How can he have the time and energy to work on chips?"

"If he has that much time, he might as well think about how to trade Japanese stocks. That can make a lot more money than working on chips!"

On the morning of February 2, Sunday, the Rijima Court, the Ministry of Finance and other departments were working overtime to handle the prosecution case of Peace Investment Company.

After Tang Qiang sent his parents out of Renheyi Community, he entered the Zhang family's living room and saw Zhang Heping sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.

"Uncle, don't you need to release good news today?" Tang Qiang said, sitting on the sofa beside him.

Zhang Heping said without even looking up: "It has been arranged. If there are no emergencies, we can just wait for the Japanese stock market to open tomorrow."

"Oh, I see!" Tang Qiang looked at the TV, which was playing a Japanese channel that he couldn't understand, so he leaned forward and wanted to take the remote control on the coffee table in front of Zhang Heping to change the channel.

"Don't move!" Zhang Heping said casually, "I'm waiting for news!"

Tang Qiang's body stiffened for a moment, then he sat back on the sofa.

Tang Qiang looked at the TV again, and after a while, he saw the familiar words "Peace Investment" on the TV screen!
Just as he was wondering what news this Japanese station was reporting, a man who looked like a Japanese politician walked up to the podium. Facing the microphones held out by a group of reporters, he first bowed, and then spoke a lot.

Zhang Heping only said, "Okay, you can switch channels now!" after hearing the politician apologize to Heping Investment Company on behalf of the Ministry of Finance and promise not to freeze any securities accounts indiscriminately again.

Tang Qiang didn't know what happened, because the matter of Heping Investment Company suing Japan's Ministry of Finance was already communicated beforehand, and Zhang Heping did not deal with the matter yesterday.

However, Tang Qiang only switched a few channels and found out from the news on other TV stations what the Japanese people had just done!

To be precise, he discovered that Zhang Heping was working with the Japanese to restore the credibility of the Japanese stock market, which was good news from the official perspective!
[We have received the latest news that the Peace Financial Software has released a new version today, adding data comparison of inflow and outflow of stocks on the same day. It is said that when the inflow is greater than the outflow, it means that there are more buyers in the market, indicating that the stock price may rise...]

Tang Qiang was surprised. "Uncle, if we use this data on capital inflow and outflow ourselves, wouldn't we be able to accurately determine the rise and fall of a stock?"

"Can you really make an accurate judgment?" Zhang Heping asked calmly.

The function updated in Heping Financial Software today is just a comparison of the total amount of funds flowing in and out, and it does not involve the accounts and investment institutions behind the funds. How can it be possible to make an accurate judgment?

The reason why Zhang Heping released this function is that he delayed the refresh time of "outflow funds" by 15 seconds, so that the inflow funds can be as large as possible than the outflow funds.

In other words, the net capital inflow is positive!

This is just like when he inflated the number of stocks sold in the magnesium stock market. It's all psychological warfare.

But this time, it is to boost the Japanese stock market!
Just as Tang Qiang was thinking about Zhang Heping's question, Zhang Heping answered a phone call, and he was communicating in Japanese, which Tang Qiang could not understand at all.

"Ms. Suzuki, borrowing money to invest in stocks is very dangerous!" Zhang Heping leaned on the sofa with his phone in hand and said calmly, "Most of those who jumped off the building after failing in stock trading were those who borrowed money to invest in stocks."

"What's more, you also require that the borrowed funds cannot be sold within three years after being invested in the Japanese stock market! The risk here is even greater than the risk of using 3 times leverage to trade stocks!"

Zhang Heping paused for a moment, and after listening to what the other end of the phone said, he said calmly: "The money used by Heping Investment Company for stock speculation is the self-owned funds of the Heping Group; the money used by Stepmother Investment Company to invest in Ridao Real Estate is borrowed."

"The risks involved are all within my control, but the loan you proposed for stock trading is beyond my risk control."

"No! I won't borrow as you suggest, but I will consider other ways to borrow, such as real estate mortgages, and then invest in the stock market."

After Zhang Heping hung up the phone, he was still thinking about using the existing assets of his stepmother's investment company as collateral for a mortgage.

Just after the mortgage, the inventory cannot be cleared in time!

As housing prices in Dongdu continue to rise, a situation where there are prices but no demand will gradually emerge.

A house that cannot be sold is a money-losing item!

Once the Japanese economic bubble bursts, it will be even harder to sell.

Zhang Heping still remembers that in his previous life, after the Japanese economic bubble burst, Japan introduced a series of tax systems targeting real estate, which made many Japanese people unwilling to inherit their parents' houses and land.

Because once you inherit those real estates, you will face real estate taxes, property taxes, etc., which become a symbol of negative assets.
