Chapter 2162
A Good Mother
At this meeting, He Yuzhu didn't know whether he had won or lost.
When it comes to matters of the collective, the key is to maintain a balance.
Just like the matter of continuing to invest in gold and crude oil, after the meeting, He Yuzhu still didn't know what the higher-ups had decided.
The elderly man who chaired the meeting did not make a decision on whether to do it or not on the spot.
It was simply a matter of shaking hands, smiling, and saying goodbye to everyone who participated in the meeting afterward.
Of course, if someone pays close attention.
You can see that the old man shook hands with He Yuzhu for a longer time than with anyone else.
But He Yuzhu didn't understand the implications.
He went there full of courage, and returned looking completely bewildered.
Later, when Lao Chang saw him off to the bus, he told him that the higher-ups were going to take everyone's opinions into account.
Give out half, and keep the other half for observation.
This is a prudent move.
He Yuzhu is also quite helpless in this regard.
For him, it would be as if those investments were all his money.
He was so eager to use top-tier leverage to make a quick profit.
But it's clear that the authorities won't gamble with their limited foreign exchange reserves.
In fact, it's not just in Beijing.
Even our fellow businesses in Hong Kong Island have reduced their holdings to varying degrees.
Just like the He and Huo families, after listening to He Yuzhu's suggestion to them in Guangcheng, they each invested tens of millions into the silver market.
They've already sold everything and secured their profits.
They believed in He Yuzhu's prediction, but were unwilling to take greater risks for the sake of profit.
For traditional enterprises that have reached a certain scale, seeking stability is the best way to operate.
Conversely, Lou Xiao'e also made a big move, investing all of her $100 million held in a multinational bank into the gold market.
This caused quite a stir.
Experts from all walks of life offered various interpretations of Lou Xiao'e's intentions.
Meanwhile, the big players eyeing Lou Xiao'e's valuable assets were also secretly plotting to take over the He Group.
Recent news from Hong Kong Island has revealed a series of scandals involving Lou Xiao'e's company.
For example, an employee of a certain factory was owed wages.
It was later proven that the factory's accountant was involved in a car accident when he went to the bank to withdraw money that day, which caused the factory's wages to be paid two or three days late.
Another supplier was owed money and published an announcement in the newspaper to terminate its cooperation with the Ho Group.
And a senior executive at a bank, during an interview, inadvertently revealed that the He Group's loan amount at the bank was too high, ... creating systemic risk.
In short, all sorts of demons and monsters have come out.
"Mom, lend me some money." Lou Xiao'e, holding her little daughter, shamelessly plopped down next to Tan Yali.
It even made her spring sofa bounce twice.
Tanya rolled her eyes at her shameless daughter.
Especially the slight stain that seeped through Lou Xiao'e's bra after she had just finished breastfeeding.
It made her feel extremely embarrassed.
Just as she was about to lose her temper, Lou Xiao'e lifted her little daughter in front of her.
Tanya had no choice but to put her hands down and carefully take the little meatball who had just finished eating and was sleeping from her daughter's hands.
She skillfully held her granddaughter in her arms, gently patted the baby's bottom, and whispered, "What's wrong with you now?"
Can't you be a good role model for the children?
"Mom..." Lou Xiao'e drawled, "Even a small, run-down bank is bullying me. They were begging my mobile phone company to take out a loan."
Now they're kicking me when I'm down, thinking I'm having cash flow problems.
He was thinking of stabbing me in the chest.
If I don't react at all, wouldn't that be agreeing with what they said?
"What are you going to do?" Tanya sighed softly before asking.
"Drain the He Group's working capital and pay off their bank loans ahead of schedule."
The company is suing that foul-mouthed executive and has publicly announced that the He Group will never again cooperate with him in any business dealings.
"Mom, lend me ten million Hong Kong dollars. I can scrape together forty million." Lou Xiao'e exuded domineering confidence when she talked about her response.
Whether a company is rich or poor, it will usually use leverage when investing in a new industry.
That is, you invest a portion of your own money, and then use the remaining development funds either to attract investment or to borrow money from a bank.
This way, the risks are shared. If a newly established enterprise encounters difficulties in its development, having money in hand provides the capital to turn things around.
With more investors, the available social resources also increase.
Lou Xiao'e's mobile communications company is currently in the investment phase.
All kinds of relationships need to be established.
So at that time, Lou Xiao'e signed a strategic partnership with an Americard bank.
But later, a British-owned private bank wanted to get a piece of the pie and visited Lou Xiao'e several times.
Lou Xiao'e was wary of the people behind the bank, so she lent them HK$50 million.
It's basically giving the other party an admission ticket.
She never expected that the other party would be so short-sighted as to choose to betray her at such a time.
Although she invested a huge amount of foreign exchange in gold, she did not use leverage in the first place.
That gold can be cashed out and deposited into your account at any time.
Moreover, she owns numerous properties and could easily obtain a large loan from any bank.
As a result, the other party betrayed them.
Furthermore, they took things out of context and claimed that a loan taken out by one of her independent subsidiaries was taken out by the He Group.
This was something Lou Xiao'e hadn't expected.
"We need to consider whether they have any follow-up measures."
"And what exactly are they eyeing?" Tan Yali didn't immediately fill out a check for Lou Xiao'e; instead, she told her to think things through.
"They want to create a domino effect on me. They can delay the withdrawal and transfer of funds to my Hong Kong account for one or two weeks.
Many business owners on Hong Kong Island have also been instructed not to accept any goods from me.
If I borrow money from the mainland, the Hong Kong government will say that the source of my money is unclear and will launch an investigation against me.
Americard Bank also contacted me, urging me to resolve this negative news as soon as possible.
Otherwise, they would also want to ensure the safety of their own funds.
snort···
These people are vicious.
However, they underestimated me.
If I couldn't come up with a 500 million loan all at once, then there might still be a chance.
A mere fifty million.
"My mother's secret stash of money is more than that, isn't it?" Lou Xiao'e said, then wrapped her arms around Tan Yali's neck with a charmingly innocent look. She looked nothing like the strong woman admired by ordinary people in Hong Kong.
"Get out, get out of here! Do you think you're Yuan Yuan?"
"And she even snuggled into my arms like a spoiled child?" Tan Yali nudged Lou Xiao'e impatiently with her shoulder.
This girl is no longer suitable.
Don't they realize how much she weighs now, and they keep putting pressure on her old bones?
Despite her cursing, she pulled a checkbook from her purse and wrote a check for ten million US dollars for Lou Xiao'e. (End of Chapter)
