Chapter 2356
Foreign Exchange Swaps
On Hong Kong Island, Lou Xiao'e watched with great interest as her two young children played chess in front of her.
While her son wasn't looking, she secretly swept one of He Xinghua's rooks off the chessboard.
After finishing this task, she winked at her daughter-in-law across from her.
Carol Chu covered her mouth with her small hand, unable to suppress her laughter.
How could she possibly lose a game where she conspired with her mother-in-law to bully He Xinghua?
····
He Xinghua snapped his fingers together, breathed on them, and then lightly flicked Zhu Liqian's smooth forehead three times.
Zhu Liqian, feeling wronged, buried her face in Lou Xiao'e's arms.
The two little girls, who were building blocks on the carpet, heard Zhu Liqian's humming and immediately ran over, slapping He Xinghua's leg a few times.
The family was enjoying a happy time together.
Wearing reading glasses, Tanya Li remained calm, glancing at us through her lenses before continuing to read her newspaper with a smile.
For her, there was nothing to regret in this life.
Back when she was in Beijing, her biggest concern was finding a way for her daughter to survive.
Even when Ho Yu-chu persuaded her to come to Hong Kong Island, she was actually filled with a resolute pessimism.
At the time, she thought that if she stayed in Beijing, Lou Xiao'e would most likely be used as a bargaining chip by Lou Bancheng.
If Lou Xiao'e were to have an accident, she certainly wouldn't survive either.
Rather than doing that, she might as well take her daughter out to gamble once.
Even if she lost the bet, she still risked her life for her daughter.
Mother and daughter were born together and died together; their bond as mother and daughter was not in vain.
She truly never imagined that she would have such a blissful family life today.
With her eldest grandson about to get married and likely to have several great-grandchildren, her life would be absolutely perfect.
He Xinghua laughed and joked around with his two younger sisters.
After the commotion subsided, he sat down in front of his mother, pointed to the stolen 'car', and then laughed, "Mom, the apprentice you taught is no good."
Even with all your help, she still can't win.
Lou Xiao'e looked at Zhu Liqian, who was nestled in her arms, with affection and said with a smile, "The place where women win over men is not in these trivial matters."
Qianqian lost the game of chess, but she won your heart. ......
Zhu Liqian, nestled in Lou Xiao'e's arms, also took the opportunity to stick out her tongue at He Xinghua, her provocation quite obvious.
With Lou Xiao'e around, He Xinghua wouldn't dare to really "bully" her.
After teasing them for a while longer.
He Xinghua then said to Lou Xiao'e seriously, "Mom, you want me to go and oversee things at Xiao Ri."
What exactly do I need to do?
This is also why Lou Xiao'e put aside her work to allow her family to have a small gathering.
In her personal life, she has many things that require someone she can completely trust to oversee.
At present, the most suitable person is her son, He Xinghua.
In the past, she certainly wouldn't have made such an arrangement.
But with He Xinghua about to marry Zhu Liqian, he should be at an age where he can stand on his own two feet.
She had previously arranged for He Xinghua to go to the mainland, which was considered a preliminary test.
It's time to make things more difficult for He Xinghua.
Lou Xiao'e knew very well.
Judging from the layout of her family's businesses and the development of the Asian market, the small-scale market will inevitably be a hurdle for her in the coming decades.
No matter how well the mainland develops, integrating into the local market is still the right choice.
Furthermore, her game company has already finalized a collaboration agreement with Xiao Rizi.
Whatever the local company's intentions may be, if they want to make money from Lou Xiao'e's game company, they must protect He Xinghua's safety.
In this matter, Lou Xiao'e doesn't believe in contracts, but she believes in human nature and the drive for self-interest.
Although everyday life may not necessarily have that kind of "humanity".
But everyone wants to gain benefits.
For 120 million US dollars, Lou Xiao'e relinquished 15% of the game company's shares.
The company aims to go public in Americard within two years.
That's the expectation!
Even if all of Xiao Rizi's companies go bankrupt, we still need to ensure He Xinghua's safety over there. Otherwise, Lou Xiao'e might go crazy and fight Xiao Rizi to the death.
This would directly cause Xiao Rizi's huge investment to go down the drain.
Of course, there are definitely dangers.
No one can live in a sterile environment forever.
This was also Lou Xiao'e's final test for He Xinghua.
There are many!
Telecommunications company
Computer business,
The business of game companies...
Once you're there, you need to utilize existing resources and integrate them.
It's good for things to develop normally; there's no need to force some things.
The people in this place, Xiao Rizi, always have a certain wickedness about them.
He has a very strong admiration for power.
Except for Amarica, who truly defeated them.
They don't respect or truly obey people from other countries.
However, that's not important.
I'm talking about something else this time.
I've already assembled an investment team over there, and I've deposited that $100 million into Chase Bank.
I performed a foreign exchange swap (note) to remotely lock in the exchange rate.
They purchased high-interest government bonds and large-denomination certificates of deposit.
For now, all you need to do is keep an eye on this money.
When the opportunity arises…
What Lou Xiao'e was actually betting on was that the Japanese yen would appreciate in value when exchanged for US dollars in the future.
So she didn't plan to use that one hundred million dollars.
That money was essentially free.
However, the government is now strictly controlling foreign exchange outflows.
If that one hundred million US dollars were obtained through legitimate channels and deposited into the Hong Kong Ho Group's account...
It would be good if 60 million could be received.
Meanwhile, assets in Xiao Rizi were experiencing a surge in value.
The key issue is that when foreign capital comes in to invest, these people are also opportunistic and bully the weak.
With investments like those from América Capital, Xiao Rizi (小日子) simply conducts its business in a proper and orderly manner.
If Lou Xiao'e were to invest, she would likely be scammed in various ways.
Therefore, the foreign exchange swaps that Lou Xiao'e is currently using are a safe and reliable financial strategy.
This is all handled by professionals, and Lou Xiao'e doesn't care about that small interest rate difference.
In fact, the returns from foreign exchange swaps are currently not as good as those from directly purchasing Americard government bonds.
But the biggest advantage is that you can use this foreign exchange swap to finance your investment.
When Lou Xiao'e really needs money, she can borrow five to six times the amount of Japanese yen.
This is what Lou Xiao'e cares about.
She knew very well that if she wanted to get a share of the profits from the appreciation of the Japanese yen.
Unlike investing in gold in the past, you can no longer simply take your money to the John Bull Market and buy it immediately.
In these matters, people tend to be much more conservative in their daily lives.
And when it really comes to that crucial moment, Xiao Zi might just take advantage of her and act shamelessly.
Now, her money is deposited in a foreign bank that operates in Xiao Rizhi.
Borrowing Japanese yen from the bank to invest would make everything much more reasonable. (End of Chapter)
