Chapter 673 Hua Yingxiong's Final Payment
"Mr. Zhang, I have accomplished your mission!"

When Shen Bi, chairman of Huifeng Bank, saw Zhang Heping coming downstairs, he quickly stepped forward, shook Zhang Heping's right hand, leaned in and whispered, "Mr. Chen's medal has arrived at the Hong Kong government."

Zhang Heping smiled at the Hong Kong government staff behind Shen Bi, and his mind raced as he judged that since Shen Bi had whispered this matter, there might be a follow-up.

The concubine Chen Shuting said a few words to the Hong Kong government officials, then walked back and whispered to Zhang Heping: "The person in charge of Eagle Country hopes that we will increase our investment in Eagle Country."

They are not here today to present medals!
Based on what Shen Bi had just said, Zhang Heping speculated that investing in Eagle Country was not a forced requirement and could be rejected.

However, Zhang Heping was somewhat unhappy about the delay in cooperation by the mainland aerospace group and nuclear industry group.

Zhang Heping nodded and said, "The person in charge of Eagle Country is very likely to be re-elected for three terms, but she is very close to Magnesium Country. We can test her attitude towards us by acquiring the Royal Arsenal."

Shen Bi did not avoid the question. Chen Shuting did not know why Zhang Heping said this. She could only nod silently and then respond to the people from the Hong Kong government.

"Mr. Zhang, are you ready to enter the military industry?" Shen Bi, chairman of Huifeng Bank, was somewhat puzzled.

Although Shen Bi had heard that Umbrella Corporation had some special weapons, no one had provoked the Umbrella Corporation in recent years, so no photos or videos of the related weapons had been leaked, and the news remained at the rumor stage.

However, it has been confirmed that there are anti-aircraft weapons on the roof of the apartment building in Renheyi Community.

After all, there is no no-fly zone order issued by the Hong Kong government over the Peak, and intelligence personnel took close-up photos of radars, rapid-fire cannons and other equipment by helicopter.

"I need the license of the arsenal!" Zhang Heping replied with a faint smile: "Chairman Shen, do you think that person in charge will agree to my acquisition of the Royal Arsenal?"

Shen Bi thought for a moment and said, "After the arsenal was privatized two years ago, it was divided into four departments. The first is the ammunition department, and the sales of this department account for half of the total sales of the factory."

"The second is the weapons and combat vehicle department, which accounts for a quarter of total sales; the third is the light weapons department..."

Zhang Heping listened quietly to Shen Bi's introduction to the Eagle Country Royal Arsenal. This old guy had asked Zhang Heping if he was interested in investing in this arsenal a few years ago. Now he could still introduce the current situation of the arsenal in detail. The deep meaning of this is worth pondering!
"The Magnesium people only hold 37% of the shares of the Arsenal?" Zhang Heping interrupted Shen Bi's introduction and frowned and asked, "What about the rest of the shares? How many shares does Yingfu have?"

"After the Royal Arsenal was privatized, the Eagle House did not retain any shares." Shen Bi explained: "As far as I know, the remaining shares of the Arsenal are held by retail investors and financial institutions in countries such as Defa and Australia."

"If Mr. Zhang wants to take control of the Royal Arsenal, it will take more time!"

Zhang Heping asked in surprise, "From what you said, that lady won't object to my controlling stake in the Royal Arsenal?"

"No!" Shen Bi shook his head and said, "She believes that only full privatization can promote the economic development of Eagle Country."

"Mr. Zhang, don't worry about the Eagle Government interfering with your business. We have an equal relationship with the Magnesium Country and will not be threatened by the Magnesium people. You can rest assured to invest in the Eagle Country!"

Zhang Heping nodded and said nothing more.

After seeing off Shen Bi and the Hong Kong government's men, his concubine Chen Shuting could not hide her joy and said to Zhang Heping: "Husband, the Commander's Medal awarded to me by the Eagle King has been delivered!"

"Yeah!" Zhang Heping responded casually, thinking about the feasibility of continuing to invest in Eagle Country.

As of now, the magnesium dollar is still the world's first universal currency, and even North Sudan's imported goods have to be paid in magnesium dollars.

The second is the Japanese yen!
Attracted by Japan's real estate, stock and foreign exchange markets, the Japanese yen has climbed to second place in the world and is eyeing the status of the magnesium dollar.

Once again it’s the Eagle Pound!

...

Two days later, the concubine Chan Shu-ting received a medal from the Governor of Hong Kong and held a party to celebrate that night.

When Ou Yanzi, the head of Huayingxiong Company, rushed back from Ridao to report on her work, she happened to encounter this party.

"Let me introduce her to you all!" Zhang Heping led the newly arrived Ou Yanzi to introduce her to a group of Hong Kong celebrities: "Boss Ou, she is the first female leader in our Heping Group to become a billionaire through equity dividends!"

Ou Yanzi felt relieved when she heard Zhang Heping acknowledge her equity dividend in front of so many people.

After Ou Yanzi was surrounded by a group of Hong Kong businessmen, she was unable to escape for a while. It was not until the party was over that she followed Zhang Heping into the Zhang family villa.

"Mr. Zhang, Huayingxiong Company has 8000 billion yen and cannot avoid taxes using the previous methods. Vice Minister Aso called and said that the Japanese Ministry of Finance has paid attention to our Huayingxiong Company's tax issues and hopes that we will take a positive approach."

Zhang Heping pointed to the sofa next to him and motioned Ou Yanzi to sit down.

"Hua Yingxiong's business is too single. Apart from loan interest, it is difficult to find a second arbitrage method at present." Chen Shuting came over with a bowl of chicken soup, looked at Ou Yanzi and asked, "Teacher Ou, would you like some chicken soup?"

Ou Yanzi looked at Chen Shuting's slightly bulging belly and shook her head, "No, thank you, Mr. Chen!"

"If Huayingxiong withdraws another 1.2 trillion yen, there will be 490 billion yuan in the Hong Kong account, and Mr. Ou's 1% equity can be cashed out for 4.9 million yuan." Zhang Heping smiled and asked, "After Mr. Ou gets this money, will he continue to stay in Huayingxiong and wait for the remaining funds to be withdrawn, or change his Hong Kong nationality and return to Hong Kong?"

When Ou Yanzi heard the number 4.9 million magnesium yuan, she felt inexplicably excited!

But seeing that Zhang Heping and Chen Shuting were looking at her, she had to suppress her excitement and said seriously, "Please rest assured, Mr. Zhang, I am willing to stand my last shift at Huayingxiong Company and withdraw the 8000 billion yen!"

"There are actually many ways to withdraw the 8000 billion yen." Zhang Heping smiled calmly, "For example, the foreign paintings and antiques that Japanese companies have been dealing in recently are a disguised way of transferring company profits to avoid Japan's 50% corporate profit tax."

"But I don't want to do that." Zhang Heping stood up and walked to the TV cabinet, opened the drawer below, took out a map of the continent, sat back on the sofa, and pointed at the map and said to Ou Yanzi:

"I want to use the remaining money in Huayingxiong's account to repair the Martyrs' Cemetery in China and donate to build the Anti-Japanese War Memorial. I wonder if Mr. Ou is willing to give the remaining 80 billion yen in dividends?"

80 billion yen is more than 5 million magnesium yuan.

Ou Yanzi hesitated for a moment, then sat up straight and said seriously, "I agree with Mr. Zhang's idea and am willing to give up that part of the dividend."

"Mr. Zhang, if the next task is to donate funds to build a memorial hall in the mainland, I would like to hire a few mainlanders to help. After all, I am not very familiar with the mainland."

"You can consult my second sister about this matter." Zhang Heping stood up and stretched out his right hand, smiling, "I hope Mr. Ou can spend the 8000 billion yen on the mainland before the New Year. If you have any questions, please communicate in time!"

After Ou Yanzi shook hands with Zhang Heping and Chen Shuting and expressed her gratitude, the two men escorted her out the door and sent a car to take her down the mountain and home.

Looking at the black nanny car driving out of the community gate, Chen Shuting couldn't help but wonder, "Husband, you called Teacher Ou back from Japan Island just to talk about donating money to the mainland?"

Zhang Heping turned around and smiled, "I want to see how well she resists money."

"Honey, you just said that Japanese companies trade foreign famous paintings and antiques to transfer company profits to avoid taxes. What are the specific operating methods?"

The next day, Thursday, the 4th, Ou Yanzi received a text message from Zhang Heping while waiting for a flight to Eastern Japan at Kai Tak Airport.

The content of the text message was very simple. Apart from the six words "Zhang Pandi, Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office", there was only a mainland phone number.

Ou Yanzi quickly associated the surname Zhang with the second sister that Zhang Heping mentioned last night, and called the phone number without hesitation.

Chen Shuting, who received a medal, followed Zhang Heping's request and sold the 85 million magnesium yuan worth of gold she bought at 330 magnesium yuan per ounce in 5 at the recent price of 450 magnesium yuan per ounce, recovering 6.8 million magnesium yuan.

Afterwards, the Peace Group used the money to buy shares of the Eagle Country Arsenal, hoping to see if there was a possibility of controlling the company.

After this wave of investment operations, we have finally given an explanation to the person in charge of the Eagle Country.

...

Capital, north bank of Houhai Lake.

After Zhang Pandi received an international long-distance call from Ridao Dongdu in the afternoon, she was also called in by the director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office for a conversation.

Even though she explained in the director's office that the Japanese Dongduhua Hero Company was going to donate money to repair the Martyrs Cemetery and build the Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall, she still didn't react. She didn't know why her brother did this, and their department didn't connect with the Japanese side.

When Zhang Pandi got home from get off work, she called Zhang Heping, but she only got a reply, mobilizing all her connections to make this happen.

In desperation, Zhang Pandi bought some gifts and drove to Grandpa Zhuang's house before sunset to consult Grandma Yang.

When Grandma Yang heard that Huayingxiong Company was a company registered in Toudou, Japan, and that it planned to invest 8000 billion yen to renovate the martyrs' cemetery and build an anti-Japanese war memorial in the country, she suddenly became excited.

"Pandi, your brother wants to use you to win over our group of old comrades who participated in the war of resistance!" Grandma Yang explained with a smile:
"Think about it, after our group of old comrades retire, what else can we do except those who serve as consultants?"

"But with this money to renovate the martyrs' cemetery and build the Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall, we old comrades will have a place to use our talents again."

"Grandma Yang, my brother asked me to mobilize all my connections to make this happen." Zhang Pandi said with some concern: "I asked my friends in the bank this afternoon, and 8000 billion yen can be exchanged for about 53 billion magnesium yuan, which is equivalent to 186.7 billion RMB. This is so much money, and I have to go to work, so how can I have the time to make it happen!"

"That's easy!" Grandma Yang said excitedly, "You ask the Huayingxiong Company to send someone to the capital, and you introduce them to old comrades like me. Then we will go and discuss the specific matters with the people from Huayingxiong Company."

Zhang Pandi frowned, "But I don't know many old comrades..."

Just at this moment, Zhang Pandi's cell phone rang.

Zhang Pandi stood up apologetically, answered the phone, and asked, "Hello, Director Hou!"

The voice of Hou Lei, director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office, rang through the receiver. "Secretary Zhang, I want to confirm with you whether the investment call you mentioned this afternoon is true?"

"This..." Zhang Pandi hesitated, because this matter came a little suddenly, but thinking of what her brother said, she replied: "It should be true, my brother also knows about this matter."

"That's good!" Hou Lei on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "It's like this. After hearing about this, my father was very interested. He hopes to repair the mausoleums for those fallen comrades and build a memorial hall in the former base. Do you think it's possible?"

Zhang Pandi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that this director was parachuted in two years ago, and his father's previous position was probably not low...

After hearing Hou Lei's repeated questioning, Zhang Pandi came back to her senses and followed Grandma Yang's suggestion, saying, "Director Hou, I will get back to you after I have invited the people from Huayingxiong Company to the capital to confirm the matter. What do you think?"

"Okay! I'll wait for your news!" After saying that, the person on the other end of the phone hung up.

Grandma Yang drank tea while waiting for Zhang Pandi's next words.

Zhang Pandi thought for a while before she smiled and said, "I think I understand what my brother means."

"Oh?" Grandma Yang asked with interest, "Tell me about it!"

Zhang Pandi sat on the sofa and picked up the teacup. "The person who called just now was the director of our Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office. He said his father is very interested in this investment."

"According to what you just said, we will introduce the old comrades to Huayingxiong Company and let them negotiate with the company."

"I don't know many old comrades, but through this incident, I can find out whether there are such old comrades behind the people I know around me."

Having said this, Zhang Pandi and Grandma Yang picked up their teacups at the same time and drank their tea without saying anything, because the words that followed were too utilitarian and not suitable to be spoken out loud; they just had to be understood.

...

Two days later, Ou Yanzi, who was far away in Higashito, Japan, called Zhang Heping and said that she had recruited six people from the mainland to work in Japan, and would go to the capital this afternoon to discuss donating money to renovate the martyrs' cemetery and build an anti-Japanese war memorial.

"Boss Ou!" Zhang Heping thought about the wording and said, "This kind of donation can be more flexible. It doesn't have to be limited to the cemetery and the memorial hall. You can regard it as compensation from the Japanese islanders. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me."

"Okay, Mr. Zhang!" Ou Yanzi said with a smile on the other end of the phone: "Among the mainlanders I recruited, three are from Shanghai. They suggested that I go to the Nanjing Memorial Hall."

"It's up to you!" Zhang Heping said with a smile, "As long as you can spend the money before the New Year."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Heping looked at Shen Bi who was sitting on the sofa. This old man from Eagle Country was knighted by the Eagle King when he retired last year.

Now, although he has accepted Zhang Heping's re-employment and is still serving as the chairman of Huifeng Bank, his mind is on the Eagle Country.

Well, because of what Zhang Heping said before about holding a controlling stake in the Royal Arsenal, the old man came to visit again.

"Chairman Shen, it's not that I don't want to control the Royal Arsenal, but this matter cannot be rushed!" Zhang Heping put the phone on the coffee table, crossed his legs, rested his left hand on the armrest of the sofa, leaned towards Shen Bi, and said seriously:

"I invested 10 billion U.S. dollars in the Eagle Country Lundu stock market two years ago, and another 50 billion U.S. dollars this year. Recently, I will also invest 6.8 million U.S. dollars from selling gold."

"With so much money invested, it's only a matter of time before we take control of the Royal Arsenal."

Shen Bi, chairman of Huifeng Bank, nodded and said with a kind smile, "Mr. Zhang, can you publish a message in the media to indicate that you are planning to invest in the real estate and stock markets in Eagle Country?"

"The time has not come yet!" Zhang Heping shook his head. "Chairman Shen, if you want to replicate the rebound of Japanese stocks, you must first let Eagle Country also implement a loose monetary policy, such as lowering the bank's interest rate to 2%, and then reduce taxes like the Japanese government, provide cash to stimulate consumption, etc."

"Also, we have to wait until the real estate and stock market crises in Japan pass before we have a chance to attract foreign investment from Japan to Eagle Country."

“That’s why I invested so much money in the London stock market but it didn’t move.”
