Chapter 841: The little calculation of the magnesium countryman

After Zhang Heping separated from President He, Chairman Guo and others, he boarded a boat at the small pier north of the Peace Healthcare Research Institute and returned to Shenzhen first.

In less than 10 minutes, the head of Stepmother Investment Company sent an email and called Zhang Heping to assure him that a similar safety accident would not happen again.

Then came the report and phone call from the bodyguard team leader. Zhang Heping accepted his suggestion to demote himself and reduce his salary, and to demote the four bodyguards to trainee bodyguards.

After all, they are four young people. We cannot simply condemn them. We still need to give them a chance to reform.

Afterwards, Zhang Heping attached his handling opinions to a forwarded email and sent it to Wei Chunqiao, the head of the Umbrella Security Company.

Wei Chunqiao is 61 years old this year, and his thinking is somewhat behind the young people of today. Fortunately, he has not made any mistakes in recent years and his loyalty is also not a problem.

Therefore, Zhang Heping did not change his mind for the time being.

What's more, Zhang Heping has a longevity potion in his hands, which can allow these old subordinates to shine for a few more years.

After Zhang Heping returned to Shenzhen Peace College, he did not go to the space capsule remote control center, but went to the underground base.

The live experiments in the space capsule have entered the final stage, and once the observation of drug efficacy is completed, it will be tested whether the small return capsule brought up by the No. 2 longevity space capsule can bring back the newly developed longevity medicine.

Those observation tasks can be handed over to the assistants and students. Zhang Heping will go to the underground base this time mainly for the vehicle models that Wucheng Heping Automobile Branch, Wucheng Shipping Company and Shaanxi Aircraft Technology Company are preparing to produce.

Wucheng Heping Automobile Branch was rebuilt from Wucheng Locomotive Factory. The reconstruction period of the factory area was not long, but the supporting equipment was delivered later.

Wucheng Shipping Company has Wucheng Shipyard and Wucheng Iron and Steel Plant under its jurisdiction. This is one of the reasons why Umbrella Security Company invested 100 billion yuan but only holds a 49% stake.

Of course, the main reason is that Wucheng Shipping Company will undertake the construction of the country's first aircraft carrier, as well as cruisers, destroyers, frigates, etc.

As for fighter jets, that will depend on Shaanxi Aircraft Technology Co., Ltd.

After the end of the Middle East war, domestic military industrial projects have been fully restarted!

Zhang Heping, who once clamored for a military competition and later produced a bunch of advanced weapons and equipment manufacturing information, would naturally be entrusted with an important task.

However, Zhang Heping wanted to carry out his research on longevity potion, and was only willing to provide financial and technical support, and did not want to waste time traveling around the country.

For this reason, we had to make the vehicle model first.

The 3D printing laboratory in the underground base gathers many experts in vehicles, ships and aircraft.

According to the drawings given by Zhang Heping, with the help of Zhang Long, Zhang Hu and hundreds of assistants, they have made some small models of armored vehicles, ships and aircraft, and have a more intuitive understanding of the weapons and equipment that they will soon be responsible for producing.

Zhang Heping came here this time, firstly to check the models they made, and secondly to use these models to explain to them the subsequent production requirements and answer their questions.

November 4, 2 a.m.

Magnesium country, New capital.

With the popularization of electronic trading systems in the financial industry, financial elites on Wall Street have also begun working in three shifts in order to cope with global financial business.

In order to follow the Japanese stock market and make timely adjustments, Tang Lie has been living and eating in his office on Wall Street during this period.

Just as he finished a phone call with his third brother Tang Qiang who was far away in Hong Kong Island, several major shareholders of Datang Automobile Company and the head of Morgan Investment Bank came to his door together.

"Mr. Tang, you've caused us so much trouble!" Smith, who holds a 36% stake in Datang Automobile Company, acquired all Datang Automobile shares held by the Tang family five years ago and became the largest shareholder of Datang Automobile Company.

Now, affected by the joint statement of 33 countries to suspend the production of pure electric vehicles, the Datang Motor Company in Magnesium has stopped production for more than a month.

Tang Lie stood up to greet him, but he was not polite, "Mr. Smith, I don't understand what you mean, please explain it clearly!"

Smith, the chairman of Datang Automobile Company, said seriously: "Because of your uncle Zhang Heping, countries such as Mexico, Japan and India are suppressing pure electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles with all their strength. You..."

Tang Lie was about to ask his secretary to pour coffee when his face suddenly darkened. "If you insist on saying this, I will have to ask you to leave!"

It was the Taiwanese who started the trouble first, how can we blame Zhang Heping?

Besides, Tang Lie has no say in Zhang Heping’s affairs, let alone blaming him!

"Mr. Tang, Smith is joking with you, don't take it seriously!" The head of Morgan Investment Bank smiled and tried to smooth things over. "We came here to negotiate a big deal with the Peace Group through you!"

Seeing that Smith's expression was no longer as serious as before, Tang Lie nodded and gestured to the female secretary waiting at the door, asking her to bring the coffee.

After Tang Lie invited several people to sit down, he asked directly: "Everyone, it's getting late, please tell me what business you have!"

Although the Peace Group does not like these magnesium guys and will not cooperate directly with them, their Tang family can.

Just like their own Datang Communications Company, which took over Beijing Mei’s 4G communications business in less than a year.

However, the Tang family paid a huge price to capture such a large market in such a short period of time:

60% of Datang Communications Corporation’s shares!

It was precisely because they gave up most of their shares that they received support from various capitals in Magnesium.

Therefore, in the eyes of the magnesium guys, the Tang family is a very good partner.

"Mr. Tang!" The head of Morgan Investment Bank extended his right index finger, pointed at the shareholders of Datang Automobile Company present, and said:

"In order to make up for their loss of not being able to produce pure electric vehicles, the government of Magnesium agreed to help them acquire shares of Japanese automakers such as Toyota, Honda, and Nissan, and then transform them into producing fuel vehicles."

"We heard that the Peace Group wants to acquire the Japanese auto company." The head of Morgan Investment Bank looked at Tang Lie and smiled, "As long as the price is right, we can transfer the shares of the Japanese auto company to the Peace Group."

"Mr. Tang, can you convey our goodwill to the boss behind the Peace Group?"

Tang Lie leaned back on the sofa, looked at the Datang Automobile shareholders with a smile, and did not answer immediately.

It's not a good thing to just let him contact me without giving me any benefits.

What's more, they want to raise the price!

The head of Morgan Investment Bank did not wait for Tang Lie's reply, so he added: "Mr. Tang, if you have any ideas, you can tell us and we can communicate and solve them together!"

"The Peace Group will not buy shares of Japanese car companies from you!" Tang Lie retracted his gaze, stood up and walked to the desk, turned his back to everyone and said: "To be precise, the Peace Group will not do business directly with the Magnesium people!"

The head of Morgan Investment Bank immediately understood what Tang Lie meant. "Mr. Tang, are you trying to say that we can only make this deal by transferring the shares of Nissan Auto to you first, and then you transfer them to Heping Group?"

Tang Lie picked up the cigar box from his desk, turned around and walked back to the sofa, saying calmly, "Heping Automobile Company recently increased its capital by 30 billion magnesium yuan and plans to build a fuel vehicle production plant in Wucheng, mainland China."

"I looked at the internal information of their fuel vehicles. One car focuses on fuel efficiency, and the other focuses on power output. Their competitors are Nissan and Euro MG."

Tang Lie naturally had never seen the internal information of the Wucheng Heping Automobile Factory, because those high-horsepower military vehicles were supplied to the troops first, and the current confidentiality level was still very high.

However, the parameters of the two engines that Peace Auto has made public are enough for him to brag about. Anyway, Zhang Heping will not come to Magnesium to expose him.

Also, this guy was just asking those people to state their purpose.

However, when he found it profitable, he took a detour and tried to suppress the price from the side.

"We all know what Mr. Tang said." The head of Morgan Investment Bank said with a smile, "However, the Heping Group's intention to acquire the Japanese automaker is obvious."

"As long as Mr. Tang can facilitate this deal, you, as the middleman, will definitely make a lot of money from this deal!"

When Tang Lie saw the female secretary bringing coffee, he did not answer immediately, as if he was thinking about the pros and cons.

After everyone in front of him had tasted the coffee, Tang Lie said, "Well, go back and negotiate a price first!"

"I also need to ask the Peace Group whether they really want to acquire the Japanese automaker."

……

When Tang Lie called Zhang Heping, Zhang Heping was busy with equipment in the underground base.

It was not until Zhang Heping returned home for dinner in the evening that he learned from his father-in-law Tang Ming that some Chinese people had approached Tang Lie to discuss the transfer of shares in a Japanese car company.

This news seems to be just a share transfer transaction, but the hidden information contained therein needs to be further explored.

Because there is a 12-hour difference between the time in Magnesium and that in Shenzhen, Zhang Heping did not call Tang Lie back immediately.

It was not until 10 o'clock in the evening when he was busy in the study that he made a transatlantic call to Tang Lie.

"Uncle..." Tang Lie, who had just gone to bed at 4 a.m., was woken up by the ringing of the phone, and his mind was still a little confused.

"Ask those Chinese!" Zhang Heping said to his phone calmly, "How many shares of Nissan Motors are the Japanese willing to transfer to them? If they buy too few, it will be useless!"

When Tang Lie heard about Nichia Motors, he immediately came to his senses and asked in surprise, "Uncle, the technology of Heping Motors is better than that of Nissan, why do you still want to buy shares of Nichia Motors?"

Acquiring Nissan and replacing it with Peace Auto is not a good idea to expose in advance, as it would easily lead to desperate resistance from the Japanese people.

"You'll know in a few years!" Zhang Heping didn't want to talk about it any more, so he changed the subject and said, "If those guys from the US want to make money from this equity transfer, they may suppress the stock prices of Japanese automakers after agreeing on the transfer price."

"In addition, since Japanese automakers can transfer their shares to Magnesium, can the shares of other Japanese companies also be transferred? Is this a condition for Euro-Magnesium Capital to help rescue the Japanese stock market?"

"There are also huge debts owed by Japanese companies due to failed real estate and stock speculation. Will Euro-Magnesium Capital accept them? Have the Japanese islanders promised other conditions?"

Faced with Zhang Heping's series of questions, Tang Lie's mind was confused again and he was unable to react for a while.

By the time he wanted to record those questions, Zhang Heping was already ready to hang up the phone!

"Before you ask these questions clearly, I suggest you sell all your Japanese stocks."

"That's it, you go ahead and get busy!"

Chen Shuting put down her work when her husband Zhang Heping called.

After hearing that it was related to the shares of Japanese car companies, he stood up and walked towards Zhang Heping's desk.

Seeing Zhang Heping put down his phone, Chen Shuting couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Honey, is there any problem with the Japanese stocks again? Should we sell all the Japanese stocks?"

Because the financial team of Heping Group did not liquidate the Japanese stocks during the day, Chen Shuting felt very confused when she heard what Zhang Heping had just said. She didn't know why Zhang Heping asked the person on the phone to liquidate the Japanese stocks.

"We don't need it!" Zhang Heping turned off the computer, stood up and walked towards the door, and explained to his young wife Chen Shuting who followed behind him:

"Those fund managers have recently been learning how to hedge stock risks, and the current strange market conditions of Japanese stocks are a good opportunity for them to practice."

"What I said just now was meant for Tang Lie. He and Tang Qiang have both bought a lot of Japanese stocks recently, and they haven't noticed that European Magnesium's funds are reducing their holdings."

"Oh!" After Chen Shuting found out that it had nothing to do with her company, she didn't take it so seriously anymore and casually talked about the Umbrella Security Company punishing those bodyguards this afternoon.

……

Tang Lie, who was on the other side of the ocean, sat on the single steel bed for a while. After sorting out his thoughts, he hurriedly called his third brother Tang Qiang.

After listening to his elder brother Tang Lie's stumbling retelling, Tang Qiang grasped the key question, "Are you sure your uncle wants you to sell all your Japanese stocks?"

"That's for sure!" Tang Lie said confidently into the phone, "My uncle told me to clear my Japanese stocks before asking about those things!"

Tang Qiang murmured on the other end of the phone, "Why didn't my uncle let me sell all my Japanese stocks? I asked him before, and he just said he was not optimistic about Japanese stocks..."

Tang Lie frowned and asked, looking at his phone: "Aqiang, my position is only one-fourth, how much is your position?"

"Half position!" Tang Qiang was shocked after answering, "Oh no! My uncle also told us to buy less Japanese stocks recently!"

"I understand!" Tang Lie said in a firm tone: "Uncle is using me to remind you to clear your position. Remember to sell those Japanese stocks tomorrow and don't be greedy for the small profits."

Tang Qiang hesitated and said, "Didn't your uncle ask you to find out those things? You should hurry up and investigate today. I will wait for your news and then decide whether to sell all the Japanese stocks tomorrow morning."

"Then wait for my call!" Tang Lie said, and hung up the phone.

Tang Lie stood up, walked back and forth in the office several times, and finally decided to use the money to explore the way.

There are many consulting companies on Wall Street. Tang Lie thought about the questions raised by Zhang Heping and quickly narrowed his focus to consulting companies with a Magnesium government background.

In addition, Tang Lie also called his secretary, driver, and bodyguard and asked them to contact a private detective to investigate the issues from other angles.

After Tang Lie spent nearly 10 million magnesium dollars, he finally found out the reason why those European magnesium funds helped the Japanese stock market to rescue.

Japan's Ministry of Finance has promised that the Bank of Japan will cut interest rates and may implement a zero interest rate in the future.

With this premise, Japan's Ministry of Finance requested European Magnesium Funds to invest in Japanese companies to help Japan overcome difficulties.

Investing in Japanese companies means that Japan will make concessions.

In the past few years, Japanese companies exported a large amount of products, which led to European and American countries condemning Japan, forcing the Japanese government to limit its exports to quell public anger.

However, the major premise for European Magnesium Fund to invest in Japanese companies is that Japanese companies still have excellent profitability!

Do Japanese companies have it now?

When Tang Lie asked himself this question, he couldn't help but think of the ratings that the Peace Group gave to all large and small listed companies in Japan.

Among them, only Peace Auto and three traditional Chinese medicine companies had their ratings maintained, while other companies were downgraded!

The key point is that Peace Group’s rating report also has considerable influence on Wall Street.

Because the rating report given by Peace Group is not a blind denigration, but a well-reasoned analysis!
