When he first arrived in Tokyo, Tang Bao didn't do anything, he directly found a five-star hotel to settle in, took a hot bath, and fell asleep. When he woke up again, it was already night, and his stomach was already rumbling in protest, and in his previous life, he was not used to eating Japanese food, so he thought about finding a restaurant at home to solve it.

Days in a row.

Tang Bao is all wandering around, eating some food, and looking very comfortable.

Did Tang Bao come to Japan to play, of course not. He spent $140 million on the acquisition of Microsoft shares, Phoenix Investment Group spent $50 million, and the remaining $460 million was transferred to Japan by Tang Bao.

The continued prosperity of the Japanese economy has gradually created pressure on the yen to appreciate.

On September 22, 1985, the finance ministers and central bank governors of the United States, Japan, West Germany, the United Kingdom, and France held a meeting at the Plaza Hotel in New York, and reached an agreement on the joint intervention of the governments of the five countries in the foreign exchange market and the joint inducing the orderly depreciation of the US dollar against major currencies.

This is known as the Plaza Accord.

Japan was forced by the United States to faithfully fulfill this agreement, and since then the yen has risen rapidly against the dollar, and in just over two years, the yen has risen from 250:1 to 120:1 against the dollar, and then continued to appreciate until April 1995, when it broke through the 80 yen mark per dollar.

Tang Bao checked it, at this moment the exchange rate of the yen against the US dollar is about 185:1, knowing that there is still a lot of room for the appreciation of the yen, Tang Bao will naturally not let go, through several large banks in Japan, he converted all 460 million US dollars into yen, and obtained 85 billion yen in assets.

Then.

With the 85 billion yen of funds, Tang Bao continued to buy shares of Japanese companies, and bought all the more famous companies in his memory. Adhering to only one principle, that is, to diversify investment and avoid attracting attention, the current supervision of foreign investment in Japan is still relatively strict. In addition, Tang Bao also focuses on the acquisition of a class of stocks, that is, companies that have just been listed, no matter what kind of company, anyway, as long as it has only been listed for a short time, it will go all out to absorb its stocks, because of the crazy boom of the Japanese stock market, new shares are listed, and the stock price will generally rise at least twice in a few months, and the most exaggerated may even rise several times. In short, it is difficult to find stocks in the Japanese stock market that have fallen in price, the only difference is which stock has risen more and faster.

For a week in a row, Tang Bao frantically swept the stocks every day, regardless of the cost, because he knew that no matter what stocks he bought, he would definitely make a lot of money in the end. In addition, Tang Bao has commissioned several real estate agencies of various sizes to acquire some office and residential buildings.

……

After entering the hotel, Tang Bao used the phone in the room to contact Horst in the United States, telling him that he could call this phone at night if he had an emergency. It turned out that it was just in case, but as soon as Tang Bao returned to the room tonight, he heard a phone ringing non-stop.

"Hey~"

"Boss, you're finally here to answer the phone." After the phone was connected, Horst said with a sigh of relief.

Soon.

Horst got straight to the point and explained the situation, "Boss, there is an investment project here, and you need to come up with ideas in person. ”

"Oh?"

Tang Bao was suddenly interested.

"Well, boss, this EC department store chain is really a high-quality asset, it has opened a total of one hundred and nine branches in New York and Pennsylvania, but this company seems to be unlucky, and there were five consecutive fire accidents in one month, which led to the breaking of the capital chain and the company was in trouble." "According to my assessment, the assets of the EC department store chain are worth between $18 million and $20 million, and the company owes $1.2 million to suppliers, as well as two bank loans of $5.8 million, of which $3 million are about to expire. So the company is in a hurry to seek financing! ”

"And then?"

"Uh...... Boss. The EC department store chain is looking to sell 50% of its equity to raise $10 million, and I think EC has a lot of potential to invest. I intend to invest $10 million to acquire a 60% stake in EC. However, the management is still in the hands of EC's management, and we only send personnel to oversee the company's financial and operational status. ”

Tang Bao fell silent. Is it worth it to spend $10 million on a small local supermarket chain? On the other end of the phone, Horst was also waiting for a response. The investment is not large, but the investment is in an unlisted company, and once the investment is made, it is not easy to exit, so even if Horst is very optimistic about this deal, he must call for instructions.

"Okay, you can talk to the other party."

After two or three minutes, Tang Bao made up his mind to invest in the EC department store chain.

Call~

After hanging up the phone, Tang Bao stood up and opened his arms, shaking his sour arms slightly, as if he was in a very comfortable mood. I have to admit that this time Horst brought him a surprise, to be exact, it was Horst's investment in the EC department store chain that touched him, and a brilliant and crazy idea flashed in his mind. That is to quietly build a retail giant that surpasses Wal-Mart, and then use it as a delivery platform to deliver the future of Huaxia-made products to consumers around the world!

It's really crazy.

Even Tang Bao himself understands how difficult it is to achieve this goal, but none of this matters, when he made up his mind to invest in the EC department store chain, he had already taken the first step for this fleeting crazy idea.

Of course, Horst didn't know that a normal investment move of his would bring about this result, and if he did, he would be proud of it.

……

Tokyo, in a large hotel.

"Mr. Tang, congratulations, this building is yours from now on." The man in a straight suit hurriedly stepped forward to congratulate Tang Bao after seeing him finish signing the document.

"Tongxi."

Tang Bao said with a smile that the acquisition of this building was the largest transaction of the trip to Tokyo, a 52-story building, and a total cost of 18 billion yen. As a real estate agent, Kimura facilitated this sky-high transaction, and the agency fees he received were hundreds of thousands of dollars. Tang Bao's money for the purchase of this building is almost spent, and if nothing else, he will soon leave Japan and return to the United States.

As for returning home......

One is that the situation does not allow it, and the other is that he himself is unwilling to go back. Thinking of all the things in his previous life, he still remembered vividly, and Tang Bao didn't know what kind of attitude he should take to face those familiar faces after he went back.
