Break out of the courtyard

The current listing threshold for the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is a market capitalization of HK$1 million, approximately RMB 6980 million.

This condition alone has stopped many companies.

As for the three-year continuous operating record and audited financial statements, although these also need to be looked at, you can find a professional company to do it in a more beautiful way, because there are currently no profit restrictions.

Therefore, in Zhang Heping's view, as long as there are a few more rounds of financing, the tangible assets of those IPO project companies and factories can be expanded.

Peace Group, Peace Investment, and Stepmother Investment want to use a small amount of capital to push those companies and factories to go public. They not only have to bear the responsibilities of sponsors, but also attract more investment for them and expand their business.

Therefore, the annual meeting of the Hong Kong Chinese Business Association that Zhang Heping attended at the beginning of the year came in handy at this moment.

As the first global Chinese business association, the Hong Kong Chinese Business Association actually has no appeal. The reason why other Chinese business organizations recommended the Hong Kong Chinese Business Association is all because of the Peace Group.

Therefore, when Zhang Heping convened a gathering of Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong and attracted Chinese businessmen from other countries to attend, it was not the name of the World Federation of Chinese Entrepreneurs that played a role.

Of course, the reason why those foreign Chinese businessmen came here was not simply because of Zhang Heping.

Zhang Heping convened this gathering of Chinese businessmen for two reasons: first, to implement the mainland investment he suggested at the annual meeting at the beginning of the year; second, to introduce those IPO project companies and factories to attract investment from the Chinese businessmen attending the meeting.

In the Western restaurant of the Peace Hotel in Hong Kong Island, a local toy dealer turned to the middle-aged man presenting his project on stage and asked, "Manager Duan, I have a question! Can mainland companies really list in Hong Kong?"

What this person actually wants to ask is, if the major shareholder of those mainland companies is the state, how can the rights of their small shareholders be guaranteed?

The Peace Group Investment Department had clearly anticipated this problem. Manager Duan looked towards the toy manufacturer and continued calmly, "
"Mainland companies that want to list on the Hong Kong stock market currently need to complete shareholding restructuring first and then apply for approval from the capital."

"Among the companies and factories currently supported by our Heping Group, 13 have already completed shareholding restructuring and submitted approval documents to higher authorities."

A Chinese businessman from Xindao interrupted and asked, "Manager Duan, do you have any plans to take Jianguang Machinery Factory public? What are its financing conditions?"

The State-owned Jianguang Machinery Factory, also known as Factory 4503, is also called the Bayi Factory in Baoji.

Despite its ordinary name, it is now a 28-nanometer lithography machine manufacturer and one of the mainland factories that OMG most wants to cooperate with.

Manager Duan on the stage hesitated for a moment. Seeing that Zhang Heping didn't respond, he shook his head slightly and said, "We haven't contacted this factory yet."

Subsequently, several foreign Chinese businessmen inquired about certain confidential factories in the mainland, attempting to intervene in the operation or management of those confidential factories through the Heping Group, but unfortunately they did not get what they wanted.

Through these questions, it is not difficult to guess that OMG Capital is behind them.

Although this buffet party was convened by Zhang Heping, he only said a few words at the opening and then handed the place over to Chen Shuting and people from the investment department and public relations department of Heping Group.

He went to the top floor of the Peace University Health and Medical Research Institute and continued his space experiments in the space capsule remote control department.

When the second girl Zhang Nan expressed her view on choosing a spouse that she would not consider those who were not the children of officials or military personnel, Zhang Heping was actually quite touched and was not as calm as he looked on the surface.

Zhang Heping thought that if their Zhang family was powerful, there would be no need for the second girl to put herself in a difficult position.

Therefore, regardless of Hua Lao's intentions in suggesting that he meet with the Song family, he would pretend not to understand and continue to support his eldest and second eldest sisters' families in his own way.

Just after the manager of the investment department of Peace Group walked off the stage, Zhang Pandi from the special mission team in Hong Kong took the stage and took the microphone to explain the mainland's investment policies and the existing listed companies in the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets to the Chinese businessmen present.

Because the information on the people involved in the case provided by the former Mayor Suzuki was detailed enough, and the people who stayed in Japan Island with Zhu Chengguang cooperated with the investigation and provided the European underground forces with target intelligence on Japan Island, they were able to quickly and accurately locate the relevant target persons.

In less than ten days, the 10 billion magnesium reward was paid out in full.

Regarding the bounty, the Japanese government hadn't said anything yet, but the Magnesium government couldn't sit still and added a special clause to the agreement, which stated that the Peace Group was not allowed to support terrorists by issuing underground bounties!
The Peace Group did not acknowledge the bounty, and the mainland also flatly denied it, completely disagreeing with adding this clause, saying only that such a thing was impossible and there was no need to add it.

Finally, the mainland negotiation team turned the tables and asked the Mexicans whether they wanted to use this clause to blur the lines between the January 1 truck bomb terrorist attacks carried out by Japan and Mexico.

This issue could have been debated for a long time, but when the bank heads, core family members, and arms magnates related to the top ten conglomerates in Magnesium gathered in Hong Kong Island and wanted to contact the Peace Group through the Hong Kong government to discuss future cooperation, the old Bush of the Magnesium government got scared!

Because people from the Dekeshas Group, the main financial backer of Bush's campaign, also went to Hong Kong Island.

Some people even said before going to Hong Kong Island that it would be impossible for Old Bush to be re-elected!
Magnesium does not have clearly defined chaebols like Japan. Due to antitrust restrictions, Magnesium's capital tycoons control their huge industrial network through complex equity structures and board relationships.

Therefore, they should not be called consortiums, but rather complex financial interest groups.

The equity structure of Peace Group is simple, or to be exact, very simple!
The companies and factories under the Peace Group, in addition to the shares held by the Peace Group, are mainland shares and a small amount of public holdings.

In the early perception of the Taiwanese, this was simply a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered!

In their opinion, as long as the Peace Group releases enough public shares, they can join forces to divide up the listed companies under the Peace Group.

This is also the reason why they previously instigated the Magnesium government to sanction the Peace Group. They wanted to create a funding gap for the Peace Group, and then let them sell shares to raise funds, so that Magnesium capital could take advantage of the opportunity.

However, no one expected that after the Peace Group took over all its industries and returned to Hong Kong Island due to sanctions, it would actually take a large amount of funds to the Japanese real estate and stock markets.

To the Taiwanese at the time, this was a godsend!
As long as they can cut off the funds of the Peace Group in Japan, they will be able to achieve their goals more quickly. This is also one of the reasons why the five major banks in Magnesium regretted not lending.

However, those Taiwanese people never expected that the Peace Group would quietly cash out and leave as soon as it reached the halfway point of the Japanese real estate and stock markets.

On the contrary, a group of Magnesium capitalists were busy making money because of the surge in Japan's real estate and stock markets, and completely forgot their original intention of sniping the funds of the Peace Group.

As the Peace Group invested a large amount of funds in the mainland, the magnesium capital that withdrew from Japan to Hong Kong Island could not find the direction of attack for a while, so it flowed into the Hong Kong Island stock market, hoping to wait for the opportunity.

However, what they didn't expect again was that Zhang Heping was able to develop a longevity potion that could delay aging and prolong life!

If the Peace Group monopolizes the sales of this kind of drug, other countries can unite in the name of anti-monopoly and force it to hand over the relevant technology.

But he only gives free trials of the medicine and doesn’t sell it at all!

In addition, Zhang Heping subsequently released a lot of 100-year lifespan potions, which allowed the European and American biological genetic experts to reverse-engineer some of the technologies and let the European and American countries see the research direction. Everyone could tolerate Zhang Heping's jumping around at that time.

They hoped he would continue to spend his own money to develop better longevity potions. The problem was, after Zhang Heping developed the Longevity Potions 120 and 160, he not only refused to test them on others or sell them, but also publicly disclosed the preparation method and advantages and disadvantages of the Longevity Potion 100!
Destroying someone's financial path is like killing one's parents!
The big money men behind the development of NMN100 medicine in Magnesium just saw the huge profits coming, but Zhang Heping disclosed the preparation method of genuine Shouyuan 100 medicine to the world. Who would still pay a high price to buy NMN100 medicine?

In addition, assistant Lao Lu defected to the United States and revealed the gossip about Zhang Heping that he heard at the Shenzhen Peace College, which eventually led to the January 1th bombing!
Therefore, when Zhang Heping learned that a group of Magnesium people related to the bombing had an appointment with him at the Governor's House, his first reaction was not to refuse, but how to eliminate them without anyone noticing!
This kind of thing can only be thought about, unless Zhang Heping disregards the life and death of his family and really wants to fight those people to the death without leaving any room for maneuver.

Zhang Heping is not that crazy now!

Besides, as he had said before, if he really went crazy one day, a space capsule would be enough to destroy them.

What Zhang Heping didn’t know was that because of his harsh words, a game called “Resident Evil” was adapted into a movie.

Governor's House, Central, Hong Kong Island.

"It's a call from Mr. Shen. He said Mr. Zhang doesn't want to see you!" The slim blonde secretary put down her phone and continued to stand behind the sofa where the Governor sat, acting as a qualified tool.

"Your Excellency the Governor, if you can help us arrange a meeting, after you leave office this year, you can go to the Carlyle Group as a consultant!" said a man with brown hair and a big beard, and he looked around at the people in the room, as if to say that I was representing them.

The so-called consultant is actually a reward for your convenience during your employment in the form of salary.

This is the same as those people who retire and then re-employed as vice president of a company. It is difficult for them to take the money while they are still working, so they take it back in a seemingly legal way after retirement.

"Mr. Morgan, I really want to help you!" The Governor said seriously, "But you know that even before the explosion, Mr. Zhang had a lot of opinions about you, the Magnesian people."

"Especially your Morgan Bank. Reneging on the loan caused him to lose tens of billions of dollars!"

"Now with that explosion, I really can't help you!"

"We actually took a big risk by asking Mr. Shen to pass on the message just now."

"Sir, let's try a different approach!" Old Rockefeller, who was sitting on the single sofa on the left, asked solemnly, "Please give us some advice on how we can get him to meet us!"

The Governor took a sip of his coffee before slowly answering, "I heard that the former Mayor Suzuki had repeatedly sought to see Mr. Zhang for his daughter and son-in-law, but to no avail."

"But after Japan punished those involved in the bombing and signed an agreement of understanding with the mainland, former Mayor Suzuki was able to meet with Mr. Zhang."

The Governor did not make the suggestion explicit because that would offend many of the people involved in the case in Magnesium.

If he directly suggested that the Magnesium government follow Japan's example, God knows whether those involved in the assassination would retaliate against him.

He is just an ordinary person who will step down in a few months, and he won't even be assigned a guard by then.

If he is retaliated against, he can only wait for the Eagle Country police to investigate. As for whether they can help him get revenge, that is hard to say.

Fortunately, the Taiwanese people present were not stupid and immediately understood the Governor's implication.

Then, a group of Magnesium people looked at the directors of the Dekeshasi Group.

……

Hua Lao received intelligence that a large group of Americans had come to Hong Kong Island, wanting to discuss cooperation with Zhang Heping.

Then, he put down everything he was doing and rushed to Hong Kong Island with Director Wang.

Although Hong Kong Island has not yet returned to China, Mr. Hua does not regard Hong Kong Island as a foreign country at all, and is becoming more and more familiar with Hong Kong Island.

Sure enough, after arriving at the underground parking lot of the Hong Kong Island Peace College, Mr. Hua did not need anyone to lead the way and walked straight towards the Peace Big Health Medical Research Institute.

When he was allowed to go up to the top floor, he was surprised to find a number of foreign experts with paper and pens standing outside the glass partition. Listening to their broken Mandarin, as well as the occasional use of raves and Russian, Mr. Hua could barely make out that they were asking professional questions about biology.

Therefore, Mr. Hua could not interrupt them, so he could only stand aside with Director Wang and wait.

Shen Bi, who had been there for some time, took the initiative to go over to Hua Lao and Director Wang when they arrived.

After the three of them exchanged a few pleasantries, Shen Bi told them which Chinese people were in the Governor's Office and the forces behind them.

Finally, Shen Bi said solemnly: "I suspect the reason they came here this time is related to the person in the Middle East who used the 120-year lifespan potion!"

"The side effects of the NMN100 drug from Magnesium are more severe than those of the Shouyuan 100 drug. Sales in Magnesium have been discontinued."

"Behind these Magnesium people who came today, there are more or less some elderly people."

"I think you can take advantage of their desperate need for medicine and quickly conclude the subsequent negotiations regarding the bombing to prevent them from sending anyone to harm Mr. Zhang again!"

Mr. Hua did not expect that this American would care so much about Zhang Heping, but when he thought about his experience working at HSBC, Mr. Hua felt relieved.

In Hua Lao's mind, Zhang Heping was actually quite sentimental. He would only contact people he trusted, such as Shen Bi and the Aso couple, for all matters, unless something like the January 29th bombing happened.

Even so, Zhang Heping later forgave the Aso couple who were unaware of the incident.

Hua Lao echoed Shen Bi's point of view, saying that he would contact the negotiation team later to relay what Shen Bi had just said.

Director Wang didn't pay attention to what Shen Bi said because the negotiations were not her responsibility. Her current job has gradually changed from being responsible for contacting Zhang Heping to maintaining relationships with the Zhang family and facilitating the marriage of Zhang's children in the mainland.

The reason she's here now is because Mr. Hua wasn't sure why Zhang Heping had suddenly returned to Hong Kong Island, so he brought her along.

Of course, on the way here, Mr. Hua briefly told Director Wang Sumei what he had said to Zhang Heping before, as well as Zhang Heping's reply.

Director Wang thought about it all the way, and considering the recent actions of the Heping Group in supporting mainland companies and factories to list in Hong Kong, he felt that it was true that Zhang Heping had asked Hua Lao to take the medicine, and that Hua Lao's guess that he had said something wrong was a misjudgment.

Of course, these matters should be discussed with Zhang Heping in person after he is released. (End of Chapter)
