Break out of the courtyard

After Zhang Heping sent Huang Wenli out the door, he was about to return home when he saw Zhang Long and Zhang Hu running out.

"Stop!" Zhang Heping frowned and looked at his two sons. "If you want to surf the Internet, go to the study room on the second floor. You are not allowed to go to the Internet cafe in the next few months!"

"Oh..." The two sixteen-year-old boys responded helplessly, and followed their father back home dejectedly.

The two boys used the excuse of the school football team training yesterday, ran away after lunch, and came back an hour late after school in the afternoon. Zhang Heping only asked the bodyguard a few questions and found out that they went to the Internet cafe and teamed up with classmates to play the Miracle online game.

Zhang Long and Zhang Hu are usually quite obedient, but they are a bit addicted to games.

Zhang Heping didn't have high expectations for them, so he didn't care about them playing games online.

However, the eldest wife Tang Xin couldn't bear to see the two boys playing games, so she watched over them in the study for half an hour and then sent Zhang Long and Zhang Hu upstairs to take a nap.

The next evening, Zhang Bei, the boss behind the Miracle online game, came back, which made the brothers Zhang Long and Zhang Hu extremely happy. They surrounded their eldest brother and tried to please him, trying to get some game equipment and gold coins, but unfortunately they were unsuccessful.

Zhang Heping received a call from his eldest son Zhang Bei at noon and learned that he would be returning by plane in the afternoon, so after get off work in the afternoon, he did not stay in Central and went straight home with his concubine Chen Shuting.

"Dad, here are several online payment plans listed by our company. What do you think of them?" When Zhang Bei saw his father coming back, he unceremoniously picked up a stack of information that he had prepared long ago and handed it to his father.

"Let's eat first!" Tang Xin called out, and asked the nanny to bring the food to the table, and then let the nanny go home.

Zhang Heping just glanced at the information and put it on the coffee table.

"You are so careless!" Zhang Heping patted his eldest son Zhang Bei on the shoulder, walked to the main seat at the dining table, sat down, and then picked up the bowl of soup.

Zhang Bei frowned slightly, followed and sat down at the dining table, waiting for what was to come.

After Zhang Heping finished his soup, he wiped his mouth with a tissue and said calmly, "This online payment problem is just like an online game. It must be processed one by one in small maps, so that the existing computer hardware can handle it."

Zhang Bei took a sip from the soup bowl. He didn't hear his father continue talking, so he asked, "Dad, do you mean that online payments should be handled separately by country?"

"Yes!" Zhang Heping simply responded and asked his eldest son to eat. "Let's talk after dinner! Your mother heard that you were coming back, so she asked the nanny to cook your favorite dishes."

After he finished speaking, Tang Xin picked up a piece of braised pork for his eldest son Zhang Bei and asked with concern: "How is the food in Shuimu University's cafeteria? There shouldn't be a shortage of vegetables or meat in this season!"

"Thank you, Mom!" Zhang Bei said with a smile, "The dishes in the canteens are the same, but there are a few more barbecue stalls near the lake. We go there every night to eat some barbecue."

Zhang Hu asked hopefully, "Brother, are you guys having barbecue and drinking?"

Zhang Bei looked at this little brother who was still in high school and smiled, "I only drink one or two bottles on weekends when I don't have classes. I rarely drink on other days."

"Hehe!" Zhang Hu looked at his brother Zhang Long with a smile, and conveyed his intention of going to the capital to drink during the holiday through his eyes.

"By the way, grandma, eldest aunt, second aunt, cousin, and Xiaonan heard that my stepmother was pregnant, so they made some clothes and sheets for the baby. I brought them upstairs." Zhang Bei said and smiled at his stepmother Chen Shuting.

Chen Shuting smiled and said, "When you go back, tell your grandmother and auntie to thank them for me."

Zhang Nian asked somewhat disappointedly: "Brother, why didn't the second and third sisters come back with you?"

"Your second sister is busy with her export business, and your third sister is busy with student union affairs. They both don't have time to come back." Zhang Bei said casually, but he didn't notice the complexity on his mother's face.

Zhang Heping put a fish ball into Tang Xin's bowl. The couple looked at each other, and everything was said without words.

As the sun sets, Zhang Heping and his family take a walk on the mountain path to digest their food, with bodyguards following them in front and behind.

"Dad, can't we really use an online payment software to connect to banks around the world?" While Zhang Bei was asking, Tang Xin had already walked to the front with Chen Shuting.

Zhang Heping put his hands behind his back, looked at the two wives in front of him, and smiled: "Before answering your question, I need to ask you a question. Why does every country issue its own currency? Even a small place like Hong Kong Island has issued Hong Kong dollars."

Zhang Bei was guided by his father's words and fell into deep thought.

The family stopped on a small hill and looked at the construction site in the east where there was a lot of noise.

The real estate market in Japan is very hot, and the real estate market in Hong Kong is no less hot. Construction sites can be seen everywhere, filling the air with a lot of dust. Even the Peak is not immune.

The Zhang family took a detour back, and Zhang Bei spoke again, "Dad, I don't know why countries issue currencies, but it must be related to their economies. Are you trying to tell me through this question, if online payment software connects banks around the world, will it affect the economies of various countries?"

"Since you have started a company, you need to learn some financial and management knowledge." Zhang Heping was quite satisfied with his son's answer, but he still explained, "Countries issue currency mainly for national sovereignty and economic independence."

"The second is to promote economic growth, transaction demand, and macro-control, etc."

"In addition, the exchange rates between currencies of different countries are constantly changing. If you want to develop online payment software, you must first avoid this exchange rate pitfall."

"For example, the recent appreciation of the Japanese yen and the slowdown in the depreciation of the magnesium dollar, if your online payment software does not get the latest exchange data of the Japanese yen to the magnesium dollar, customers can exploit this loophole and buy a large amount of Japanese yen, causing you to lose a lot of money."

"It is foreseeable that this online payment software that connects banks around the world will inevitably snatch the banks' deposit business and then be boycotted by the banks. The central banks and banks of various countries not providing you with the latest exchange rate data is the lightest counterattack."

"But..." Zhang Bei hesitated for a moment, frowned and said, "If we operate the online payment software in different regions, we will need a lot of employees to participate in management and daily maintenance, and the manpower cost will be too high."

"That's your company's business!" Zhang Heping said with a smile, "As the head of a company, you will encounter many problems that require you to make decisions on your own."

"Dad!" Zhang Bei asked unwillingly, "If you were in charge of this online payment software, could you connect to all the banks in the world?"

"No!" Zhang Heping answered decisively, "Let's not talk about the antagonistic relationship between magnesium and the Soviet Union, nor how much credibility the currencies of those small countries have. Let's just talk about the RMB issue in the mainland. Can you use it to exchange magnesium yuan at Huifeng Bank?"

Previously, in order to stabilize the Hong Kong stock market, Heping Group increased its holdings of Huifeng Bank shares and now controls 55% of Huifeng's shares.

Even so, Heping Group did not force Huifeng Bank to open RMB exchange for magnesium.

As Huifeng Bank has opened several branches in the Mainland, it currently only provides Hong Kong dollar to RMB exchange business.

Zhang Bei thought for a long time and didn't say anything until he reached his doorstep.

After returning home, Zhang Bei called Zhang Yi in the capital and asked the employees to prepare for a voice conference on QQ.

In the study, while Zhang Bei was holding a meeting with his employees, his father Zhang Heping was behind the desk nearby, tracking the movements of large funds in Japanese stocks.

Among the Japanese companies that go to invest in Magnesium, a small number use their own funds, while the majority rely on equity pledge financing. There are also other financing methods. In any case, they all use the Japanese companies' money to buy things in Magnesium.

Therefore, a lot of the recent large funds flowing into Japanese stocks came from Magnesium, probably because Magnesium stockholders have untied their positions. With the appreciation of the yen, Japanese people's lavish spending abroad has attracted a large number of foreigners to Japan to seek gold.

Among them, the most eye-catching ones are naturally the singers from various countries; when they go to Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s Tokyo Metropolitan Government to hold concerts, almost every show is sold out.

No wonder so many stars from Hong Kong go to Japan to sing.

After Zhang Heping finished his work, he saw that his eldest son Zhang Bei was still in a meeting, so he did not disturb him and went straight upstairs to rest.

As for Zhang Long and Zhang Hu who are still playing the Miracle online game, the eldest wife Tang Xin will take care of them, so Zhang Heping doesn't need to worry about it.

...

The next day, Saturday.

Not long after Zhang Heping came back from morning exercise, his eldest son Zhang Bei came downstairs to have breakfast and talked about the results of their company's meeting last night.

"Dad, we have decided to start with the game point recharge business." Zhang Bei thought his father couldn't understand, so he explained with a smile: "We are going to sell game point cards online and offline!"

“Game points can be understood as a virtual currency that can be used to purchase our game products.”

"For virtual game point cards sold online, we plan to use Huifeng Bank's account to accept three types of transfer payments: RMB, Hong Kong dollars, and magnesium dollars."

"The offline sale of physical game point cards is the same as the wholesale of ordinary goods. They are sold to distributors at a discount according to the amount on the game point cards, and the distributors sell them and make a profit from the difference."

Zhang Heping smiled and said, "Are you not going to make online shopping and online payment software?"

"Yes!" Zhang Bei answered with certainty, then said helplessly: "But we don't have the time or money to do it now. Besides, the employees of my company will be assigned to work in other units after graduation."

"Xiaonan's Global Trading Co., Ltd. seems to have set up a branch in Hong Kong Island." Zhang Heping pointed out meaningfully.

At present, Zhang Nan, who has earned more than 3 million magnesium yuan, has better business acumen than his eldest son Zhang Bei.

However, as long as the game point card business in Zhangbei can be developed, the money earned will not be small.

However, this amount of money is not enough for Zhang Heping, it is like a child playing house.

Zhang Bei nodded and said, "I will also set up a branch in Hong Kong Island in the future to sell offline physical game point cards overseas."

Zhang Heping finished his breakfast, stood up, patted his eldest son on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Let me remind you that every country has customs and borders. On the Internet, some countries will also set up borders one after another, just like the Americans in Mexico, for the so-called information security."

Zhang Bei had not expected this problem.

If this really happens, will he still be able to connect to the cloud server in Hong Kong Island in the capital?
Leaving his eldest son with a thoughtful look on his face, Zhang Heping went up to the study on the second floor and began to check the positive news about Japanese stocks that were spread over the weekend.

The eldest son Zhang Bei stayed at home for one more day and asked his father Zhang Heping many questions. Although he did not get direct answers, it opened up his mind, which was the main purpose of his return this time.

Asking in person is naturally much more convenient than asking over the phone.

As soon as Zhang Bei left, the Zhang family resumed their previous commuting routine, with Zhang Heping and Chen Shuting going to and from work, and Tang Xin picking up and dropping off the four children.

Peace Investment Shenzhen Branch has contacted people from the Aerospace Group and the Nuclear Industry Group, and is currently discussing the mode of cooperation.

The current difficulty is that the Aerospace Group and the Nuclear Industry Group dare not introduce too much capital and do not want the Shenzhen Branch of Peace Investment to hold too many shares in the cooperative projects.

The Taishan thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plant is the first nuclear power plant in the mainland. They did not have the technology, so they agreed to let the renewable energy company hold 51% of the shares and the Ministry of Nuclear Industry only hold 49%.

Now, the mainland has fully mastered the technology of thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plants, and it can still squeeze out funds to build a few nuclear power plants if it grits its teeth. However, since Zhang Heping has asked for cooperation in building new nuclear power plants, the Ministry of Nuclear Industry cannot refuse.

As for the Aerospace Group, they only want to sell satellites or satellite resources.

However, after they received a 4.5 million yuan investment from Hong Kong Island Telecom two years ago, they only launched an experimental communication satellite last year, and there is still a long way to go before Hong Kong Island Telecom launches satellite telephone service.

In response to this, Zhang Heping’s reply to Huang Wenli was very simple: if we can’t cooperate, then forget it!
Behind Zhang Heping's "forget it" lies 482 billion magnesium yuan on the books of the Bank of China and 300 billion magnesium yuan on the Japanese side!
How could the mainland just ignore such a large amount of foreign investment? The higher authorities would definitely not allow it.

However, in the information Zhang Heping gave to Huang Wenli, he requested a 51% stake in the nuclear power plant and satellite to be built.

Zhang Heping did not mention owning shares in the Aerospace Group and the Nuclear Industry Group, but he had mentioned to Mr. Hua and others before that they could carry out cooperation by investing in subsidiaries of the Aerospace Group and the Nuclear Industry Group. I wonder if they still remember it.

In addition, departments related to power grid, Internet, and mobile communications are also actively discussing the establishment of new companies.

Time flies and the Dragon Boat Festival is over.

On June 1, Children's Day, Peace Investment Company summarized its performance of the previous month.

In May, Peace Investment Company withdrew a total of 5 trillion yen from Japanese stocks. Together with the 2.3 billion yen remaining in the account, Peace Investment Company had 5 trillion yen in liquid funds in its account at Toudou Securities.

In addition, the remaining Japanese stocks held by Peace Investment Corporation are worth 3.3 trillion yen.

In other words, Peace Investment Corporation only earned 1 trillion yen last month, 4 billion yen less than in April.

The return rate of Heping Investment Company in May was 5%. Excluding the six shell companies of Tang Qiang, the third nephew, the return rate was 21.7% less than that of Tang Qiang's Datang Investment Company.

Looking at Stepmother Investment and Huayingxiong Company, these two companies happened to have cashed out 2 trillion yen each and are stepping up the conversion of magnesium dollars.

As of now, Stepmother Investment Company still has 1.4 trillion yen in assets in Japan, and Huayingxiong Company only has the Huayingxiong Exhibition Hall and the Toudu Crematorium left to sell, and they don't need to sell them.

The 2.8 trillion yen in the Peace Investment Corporation's account will have to be kept for some time as it will be used to support the sale of the remaining shares.

But the money in Stepmother’s investment and Hua Yingxiong’s company account must be withdrawn first.

Especially on the Huayingxiong Company's side, some tax avoidance operations were involved, and a lot of documents needed to be prepared.

Finally, we will send people from Heping Audit and Heping Law Firm to check for omissions and fill in the gaps.

If the Japanese collect taxes from Huayingxiong Company, it will lose 10 to 20 billion magnesium dollars!
