Break out of the courtyard

Conference room on the 4th floor of Peace Hotel, Central, Hong Kong Island.

"The companies under the six major Japanese conglomerates hold shares in a circular pattern, with capital as the bond for horizontal integration. Their highest authority is the management committee of each conglomerate, which is held once a month."

"This kind of manager association may seem like a loose alliance, but behind the scenes there is a Rijima family controlling it!"

"After the Peace Group successfully exchanges shares between its subsidiaries and Japanese companies, it will link the six circular shareholding circles of the six major Japanese financial groups into one large circular shareholding circle! This move by the Peace Group is really puzzling!"

"The Aso couple from Japan Island have been visiting the Peace Group more and more frequently recently. I feel that the preliminary agreement on the share swap between the Peace Group and the Japanese company is about to be reached, but we still don't understand the significance of the Peace Group's share swap listing."

……

Mr. Hua sat at the back of the conference room, silently listening to the speculations of these economics experts and professors, without any intention of reminding them.

Previously, the Magnesians interfered and forced the Japanese companies to give up the stock exchange. They wanted to let the companies under the Peace Group be listed directly on the Nihon Toudou so that the Magnesians could buy the stocks of the Peace-related companies and then intervene in the management of the Peace-related companies.

When Zhang Heping returned to Shenzhen at the beginning of the month, he casually explained this matter to Mr. Hua. He said that the purpose of exchanging shares of Japanese companies was to find opportunities to buy Japanese companies' stocks at a low price in the future and then control them.

As for the plan to control the relevant Japanese companies, Mr. Hua had actually discussed it with Zhang Heping as early as when Heping Investment and Stepmother Investment were stirring up the Japanese stock and property markets. However, it was not successful at the time and he only made a large sum of money in the end.

Thinking of money, Mr. Hua couldn't help but think of the highway projects that Peace Investment Company recently invested in the country.

Mr. Hua didn't understand why the Peace Group didn't invest in domestic factories that were seeking foreign investment and willing to go public, but instead invested in projects that required large investments and long payback periods.

Of course, Mr. Hua does not think that this kind of investment is bad, he just thinks that the Peace Group can focus its external energy on the domestic market and expand its business.

Joint management meeting of the six major conglomerates of Japan Island Toudou, Kinyo, Niki, Hakushui, Sanshui, Sanjin and Furong.

"What a joke! The original intention of our companies holding shares in each other is to share resources, develop in synergy, and enhance competitiveness. The Peace Group is accusing us of affecting the trading order of the securities market. Where is the evidence?"

"The Peace Group holds vertical shares in its subsidiaries. Vice Minister Aso just said that if we insist on holding shares in each other, the Peace Group will allow its subsidiaries to hold shares in each other and expand capital before considering exchanging shares with us!"

"I object! The market value of the listed companies under the Peace Group has been inflated five times. If they are allowed to hold shares in each other to form a closed loop, the market value will probably increase by another 5% on the existing basis. We at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries refuse to exchange shares with them!"

"Everyone, the stock price can be raised. We should not focus on the meaningless market value and ignore the other issue mentioned by Vice Minister Aso, loans!"

"Which Japanese company today doesn't have loans? Moreover, the real estate, land and stocks we bought with loans are all high-quality assets. The Heping Group is using our company's high debt ratio as an excuse to avoid exchanging shares with us!"

"The problem is that the debt ratio of several listed companies under the Peace Group is 0!"

……

At this moment, Vice Minister Aso sat helplessly on the far right side of the podium, listening to a group of Japanese company managers talking about irrelevant things.

After some investigation, Heping Group offered a very low stock exchange ratio and a list of Japanese companies, which marked the beginning of the cooperation negotiations for the stock exchange and secondary listing.

Now it is the turn of Japanese companies to respond!
The stock exchange ratio currently proposed by Peace Group is definitely not feasible.

However, the problems raised by the Peace Group are real and cannot be denied by Japanese companies.

Because if any Japanese company does not admit those problems, Heping Group will directly kick it out of the stock exchange list and will not exchange stocks with it!

Therefore, the initiative lies with the Peace Group, unless the Japanese do not covet the products and technologies of the companies under the Peace Group!

The share swap between Heping Group and Japanese companies directly escalated into difficult mode due to Chen Shuting's insistence.

Although Chen Shuting knew that Japan's real estate and stock markets had risen ridiculously, it was only after her subordinates investigated those Japanese companies that she realized to what extent those companies had risen.

Say they are insolvent!

The Ridao Company, with a market value of 1 million magnesium yuan, borrowed 10 billion magnesium yuan to speculate in real estate, stocks, and foreign exchange.

But the problem is that before the bursting of the Japanese economic bubble, Japanese companies that had a lot of loans had real estate, land and stock market values ​​that were significantly higher than the total amount of their loans.

But knowing that the Japanese economic bubble would burst, how could Chen Shuting not consider the pros and cons?

"Honey, what do you think is the bottom line of those Japanese companies?" Chen Shuting stood outside the laboratory on the top floor of the Medical Research Institute, somewhat undecided.

Zhang Heping, who was inside the glass partition, said casually, "The Japanese yen and the magnesium dollar have secretly overprinted so much. What do you think their bottom line is?"

Chen Shuting frowned and asked, "In other words, even if we set the share exchange ratio lower, there will still be Japanese companies willing to exchange with us?"

"In fact, you overlooked two important factors!" Zhang Heping was immersed in experiments in the laboratory. "You forgot the metal raw materials we have collected over the years, and that Japan is an island country that is extremely dependent on the import of raw materials."

"Metal raw materials?" Chen Shuting was stunned. Then she remembered that there were many Japanese companies engaged in machinery, metal and steel in the list of Japanese companies whose shares she wanted to exchange recently.

"The profits made by those Japanese companies from real estate and stock speculation make their financial reports look good." Zhang Heping continued, "But they can't cover up the impact on their business caused by our increase in global metal raw materials."

"That is, the Japanese economic bubble has not been burst. Once the bubble bursts, you can see how Japanese steel, metal, automobile and other companies will face the impact of high-priced raw materials."

After hearing this, Chen Shuting finally understood the other meaning behind her husband's decision not to sell those metal raw materials.

After a conversation with Zhang Heping, Chen Shuting became less optimistic about the Japanese companies on the share swap list.

In the following days, because the Peace Group ignored the issue of share swaps with Japanese companies, the Japanese simply sent a negotiation team, wanting to skip the Aso couple and communicate directly with the Peace Group about share swaps and listings, but the Peace Group ignored them!
It seems incredible that the Peace Group did not negotiate with the Japanese company whose shares were to be exchanged, but instead negotiated such a big deal with a vice minister of the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, but it did happen.

If you want to know the reason, it is the historical issues left over by the Japanese!

On August 8, the cosmetic department of Hong Kong Island Peace Hospital released three old men and two old women after a month of human drug testing.

These five elderly people in their 5s all have several common features: they wear dentures and wigs, have few wrinkles on their faces, and have no age spots.

When the five of them were discharged from the hospital, media from all over the world got the news.

The family members also brought photos of the elderly before they were hospitalized to compare the changes of the five elderly before and after. The appearance of the five elderly people was obviously younger than before they were hospitalized.

But what really surprised outsiders was that these five elderly people, who were originally hunched over and needed to walk with crutches, walked out of the hospital with their backs straight on their own.

When the Aso couple saw this scene, they suspected for a moment that the experimental drug Zhang Heping had given them was a defective product.

Because the elderly prisoners on the Japanese island who took the experimental drugs were far less energetic than these five elderly people.

However, the Aso couple remembered a piece of information that the cosmetology department of Hong Kong Island Peace Hospital had provided nutritional medicines to the five elderly people, unlike the elderly prisoners on the Japanese island who were left to fend for themselves.

In addition, countries such as Japan, Europe and Magnesium have also conducted experiments on the Life 100 experimental drug. Due to the lack of nutritional medicines, the results they obtained are far inferior to those of the Cosmetology Department of Hong Kong Peace Hospital.

It is obvious that Zhang Heping had a trick up his sleeve after giving away the 100-year-long experimental drug for free!

Nichima, Mitsubishi Biochemical Laboratories.

A group of short and thin researchers in white coats were gathered around the only computer in the laboratory that was connected to the Internet, reading a report about the Cosmetology Department of Hong Kong Island Peace Hospital.

After a while, the only photos left on the computer were a photo of an old man with wrinkles, age spots and thinning hair on the left, and a photo of an old man on the right who was smiling so well that only crow's feet appeared at the corners of his eyes.

These two photos are obviously of the same person, but the old man on the right looks much younger and his cheeks are much fuller.

Looking at the dozen or so old men who were participating in the drug testing in this laboratory and were so thin that they were just skin and bones, a researcher finally reacted.

"I understand!" A short researcher wearing a white mask said excitedly, "Do you know the Tingmei slimming tea of ​​the Peace Group?"

"If you drink the slimming tea alone, you will become skinny. You must take the Taitai oral liquid with it to avoid being too skinny."

A fat researcher also responded, "Tanaka-san means that we can use Taitai oral liquid to replace the nutritional medicine that comes with Shouyuan 100?"

The short researcher said hurriedly: "I don't know if it will work, but we can try it!"

After the two researchers, one fat and one short, finished speaking, they looked at the laboratory director who was answering the phone.

"Hey!" The head of the laboratory held the microphone of the black landline on the wall and said respectfully, "It's true that the drug trial effect of Heping Hospital is not as good, but we have found a solution. Please give us a little more time."

After the head of the biochemical laboratory hung up the phone, he said to the two researchers who had just spoken, "Try the Taitai oral solution you just mentioned as soon as possible. The president is waiting for our reply."

Magnesium country, human health alliance laboratory.

"Oh, shit!" A white-skinned man in the country looked at the yellow-skinned, skinny African homeless man in the laboratory and said very dissatisfiedly: "We must have got fake drugs. Hurry up and call the higher-ups to bring back the real drugs!"

A man from the United States who was watching an interview video of the beauty salon at Hong Kong Peace Hospital adjusted his glasses and said, "The doctor at Peace Hospital just said that during the trial period of Lifespan 100, the test subjects need a lot of nutrition to promote metabolism."

"During the drug testing, we only gave this homeless man the cheapest bread and water. So, the drug must be real!"

A middle-aged researcher nearby asked, "Should we continue to catch an old homeless man to test the drug?"

"No need to arrest them!" The man with glasses stared at the video on the computer monitor, pondered for a while and said, "Spread the news. Say that we have a 100-year-old experimental drug. Recruit a few old men to test the drug!"

Governor's House, Central, Hong Kong Island.

"Mr. Shen, what do you think of seeing these five old men become younger?" The Governor of Hong Kong watched the news on the LCD TV on the wall, as if he wanted to memorize the appearance of the five old men.

Shen Bi was also watching the news on TV, looking at the before and after photos of the five old men.

For a moment, Shen Bi thought that if he didn't have hair and teeth and wasn't afraid of his skin turning yellow, could he ask Zhang Heping for the qualification to try out the drugs?

"Mr. Shen?" A British man wearing a golden wig said to Shen Bi, "The Governor is asking for your opinion!"

Shen Bi stood up and said, "I'll go ask Mr. Zhang again."

The Governor reminded him, "Mr. Shen, I heard that some members of the ancient families of Omei will come to Hong Kong Island to visit Mr. Zhang. You can ask Mr. Zhang later if he wants to meet those people from Meiguo."

"Those people from Magnesium Country are not considered to be ancient families. They are only more than 200 years old at best!" Shen Bi shook his head. "No need to ask. Mr. Zhang will definitely not meet with Magnesium people."

The Governor spoke again, "In any case, please convey my message, Mr. Shen. As for the outcome, that is Mr. Zhang's decision and has nothing to do with us."

Shen Bi responded, then quickly left the Governor's House and drove straight to Peace Square.

After Shen Bi was allowed to enter the top floor of the Medical Research Institute, in the corridor outside the laboratory, the Aso couple were talking to Zhang Heping about the stock swap of Japanese companies.

The current chairman of Huifeng Bank, Wei, introduced this matter to Shen Bi. The Japanese couple persuaded the Heping Group to arrange for its subsidiary company to be listed in Japan for the second time.

The key point is that these two Japanese people also persuaded Tingmei Trading Company to split its business and set up 6 new companies to be listed in Hong Kong Island. The only thing missing is a secondary listing in Japan with other Heping-related listed companies.

Because Chairman Wei did not explain in detail, Shen Bi listened patiently for a long time before he understood what Vice Minister Aso was saying.

Seeing Zhang Heping in the lab not speaking, Shen Bi didn't know that this was Zhang Heping's gesture of rejection, so he interrupted and said, "Your verbal promise is meaningless!"

"Let's talk business!" Shen Bi stepped forward, looked at the Aso couple and said, "You must first ensure that Mr. Zhang's interests are not harmed before you have the opportunity to cooperate with the Peace Group."

"Hey! Thank you Mr. Shen for your advice!" Aso Dalang bowed to Shen Bi and continued to say to Zhang Heping in the laboratory:
"Mr. Zhang, our Japanese company's negotiation team is here with sincerity. Can you let us meet with Mr. Chen and tell us about our Japanese company's conditions?"

Zhang Heping in the laboratory still didn't respond. Shen Bi then realized that either Zhang Heping didn't want to speak, or Zhang Heping inside couldn't hear.

"Vice Minister Aso, stop wasting time. Why don't you just state the bottom line of the negotiation team?" Shen Bi urged, "If you don't want to, go back and think of other ways!"

Vice Minister Aso thought for a moment, nodded solemnly and said, "Then let's follow Mr. Shen's wishes. I will directly state the bottom line of the negotiation team..." (End of this chapter)
