Chapter 380 Another Loan of 6 Million
After waiting in London for two weeks, John Financial, the most famous financial company in London, audited twelve investment agreements.
They concluded in writing that the total value of the twelve investments was $11 billion.
This result made Ye Yanhong very excited. The West Germans were very reliable and did not cheat them.
In less than a month, the Ye family earned $3 million. It’s fast to make money with money.
At this moment, Harris, the general manager of HSBC, the bank with the strongest capital in the British Empire, was drinking coffee with Ye Xiaoyang.
"Tony, you are really efficient."
Harris gave Ye Xiaoyang a thumbs up.
"This is all thanks to your support. Without the £200 million loan from HSBC, things would not have gone so smoothly.
My only regret is that I brought too little money to Berlin this time. Many valuable companies have approached me.
Ye Xiaoyang deliberately left his words unfinished, leaving part of it for Harris to guess.
Sure enough, his words aroused Harris's interest, and Harris quickly said:
"Didn't I tell you before we left London? If you need a loan, just send someone to me!"
"Thank you! I came here to ask for a loan from your bank. Please take a look at the twelve agreements I have for my investment.
This is the evaluation report of the twelve investment agreements provided by London John Company.
Harris took the folder handed to him by Ye Xiaoyang and spent a quarter of an hour reading it.
"Tony, you have a very good eye. You dared to sign the agreement without hiring a professional financial company to evaluate it."
"With the support of the general stationed in the West German Empire, the German elites dare not deceive me."
Harris nodded quickly.
"How much do you plan to borrow this time?"
"Four or five hundred million pounds!"
“So much, your mortgage assets are still a little short.”
"Don't worry, John Financial Company is helping me evaluate my investment agreement in Japan.
I estimate it’s worth no less than $800 million.”
"If that's the case, there shouldn't be any problem getting a loan of 500 million pounds."
"Okay, this time the loan term is five years, and the annual interest rate will be kept below 3%."
“This interest rate is a bit difficult to operate.”
"Harris, let's be frank. If the operation is successful, I will give you 500 million pounds.
You can either pay in cash or deposit it into the account you specify."
Harris didn't expect Tony to be so direct. 500 million pounds was his salary for five years.
The key is that this money does not need to be subject to high taxes, which is almost his total income for ten years.
"Tony, can you plan to invest all this money in the West German Empire?"
Ye Xiaoyang waved his hands quickly.
"Most of the investment went to Hong Kong Island, and a small part went to the United States.
I also feel that the exchange rate of the British pound against the US dollar may change.”
Ye Xiaoyang's words shocked Harris. He was the general manager of HSBC and had his own information channels.
He had heard a little about this matter.
"Tony, can I trust you?"
"Of course, if you go to Hong Kong and learn about my layout, you will know my vision."
"That was not what I meant."
"Harris, we hit it off right away. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Harris nodded and said:
"Ask someone to find some information about your investment in Hong Kong and increase the value of this information.
I'll find a way to loan you £600 million, of which £50 million will be mine.
Once the loan is approved, please help me convert my 5000 million pounds into US dollars.
I don't need a £500 million bribe."
“Harris, you won’t be wrong.
Within three years, I will find a way to increase the value of this 5000 million pounds by 20-30%.
There would be no problem covering the interest for several years, and I estimate that the pound would have depreciated by at least 30% against the dollar within three years."
Harris looked at Ye Xiaoyang and felt deeply moved. He didn't expect that the young man in front of him was so confident.
"Tony, can it be devalued so much?"
"Maybe more. If you know me well enough, I once deduced that the Japanese Empire would take the initiative to attack the United States.
The difference between the attack time and my estimated time was only one or two weeks, and the Japanese attacked in advance.
Before that, I borrowed a sum of Japanese yen from the Bank of East Asia in Hujiang and exchanged the yen for US dollars.
Over a year, the Japanese yen depreciated by more than 50%, allowing me to make a small profit."
Harris didn't expect that Tony in front of him had such a glorious record.
The Japanese Empire launched a surprise attack on the United States' military base in Hawaii a few years ago.
It seems that Tony is even more powerful than he thought.
Recently, he has consulted his good friend, Hong Kong Governor Lampard.
Only then did he realize that the young man in front of him had properties in Hong Kong worth more than US$1.5 billion.
Two weeks later, Ye Xiaoyang returned to his home in San Francisco with 600 million pounds, and he didn't care about the rest.
My younger sister Ye Yanhong will go to the bank of the British Empire to exchange this money into the corresponding US dollars.
Then, according to his request, part of the funds were used to purchase the stocks he specified on the New York Stock Exchange.
With so much money, Ye Xiaoyang plans to use part of it to invest in the media industry.
He is well aware of the importance of media companies in the future, and ordinary people have little ability to think.
Ordinary civilians only believe what is reported on TV and in newspapers.
This is controllable.
The Jews have deep roots in this area. It is thanks to the Jewish media that China has been slandered by Europe and the United States for decades.
On the blue planet, Ye Xiaoyang does not intend to let the Jews stand out alone, he can accept an equal share.
What's more, by using some brave reporters, he can also get in touch with some political figures, and he will naturally settle this account.
He remembered clearly that journalists were called the uncrowned kings.
Should he start a new media organization or just buy an existing one? Ye Xiaoyang hasn't made up his mind yet.
For him, the top priority now is to find a head of a media organization who can implement his ideas.
After dinner, Ye Xiaoyang, Ye Mingyu and Ye Yuxuan chatted in the tea room.
Ye Xiaoyu was the first to ask:
"Third brother, did your trip to the British Empire go smoothly?"
"Brother, it went smoothly. The $800 million I brought from the United States was used to purchase gold at Standard Chartered Bank."
Ye Yuxuan couldn't help but ask:
"San'er, does the Ye family need a loan to buy gold?"
"Dad, don't worry. The third brother's thoughts are a bit complicated. Buying gold is not his most important intention."
Ye Yuxuan nodded and said:
"Is Yanhong still in London?"
Ye Xiaoyang nodded and said softly:
"In a few days, they will return to the beautiful country, and my little sister will go home."
Ye Mingyu looked up at Ye Xiaoyang and said:
"You used this gold as collateral and borrowed the corresponding amount of pounds from a British bank?"
“Yes, I borrowed 200 million pounds from HSBC and exchanged 800 million US dollars before going to Berlin.
I invested all of this $800 million in twelve large companies in the West German Empire."
Ye Mingyu said:
"You're applying for a loan in London with the investment agreement?"
"Brother, how do you know?"
"Logically, after the $800 million is spent, my younger sister should have come back with you. Now that she hasn't come back, something must have happened.
You told me that the pound would depreciate significantly against the dollar within three years.
You won’t pass up this opportunity.”
Ye Xiaoyang gave Ye Mingyu a thumbs up and said:
"Brother, you are getting more and more powerful now!"
"Third brother, how much is the total amount of loans that you asked my younger sister and the others to handle this time?"
"Six hundred million pounds, of which fifty million pounds was loaned to others, and must be returned to him within three years."
"Six hundred million pounds, that's twenty-four dollars, the amount you intend to use."
Ye Mingyu's curiosity was aroused. His third brother had unparalleled judgment.
Everything he predicted came true.
"It will be divided into three parts. One part of the funds will be invested in the New York Stock Exchange, and the other part will be transferred to Hong Kong.
The remaining funds will be used to build the Ye family's media group in Gusu City."
Ye Yuxuan did not interrupt again. He found that he, the third son, was very talented and courageous.
There is nothing he dare not do, and now he has to spend money to build the Ye family's media group.
I don't know what the purpose of this media group is. It doesn't seem like a very profitable business.
Ye Mingyu quickly asked:
"Third brother, our Ye family is going to enter the media industry?"
"Yes."
“This doesn’t look like a profitable business!”
"Brother, don't underestimate the media industry. Just because you can't make much money now doesn't mean you can't make a lot of money in the future.
Besides, you've always heard those old sayings, "Gossip can melt gold, slander can destroy a person," and "Turning right into wrong, right?"
"Of course I know that."
"Brother, do ordinary people have the ability to distinguish true from false? No!"
"Third brother, you want to manipulate public opinion?"
Ye Xiaoyang waved his hand and replied:
“It will only be reported when necessary. Under normal circumstances, the focus will be on reporting facts.
If one day a competitor deliberately tries to discredit the company controlled by the Ye family, we won’t be caught off guard.”
Ye Yuxuan said:
"The third brother is very far-sighted. The Ye family controls more and more industries, and this situation will definitely occur in the future."
Ye Mingyu then asked:
"Third brother, are you personally in charge of the media group?"
"Brother, I don't have the time. I just want to find a Chinese person who understands media to take charge."
"Third brother, I remember my younger sister said that Columbia University in the United States has a very good media program.
How about we ask someone if there are any Chinese professors in the media department at Columbia University?"
"Okay! Big brother, please take care of this matter."
"Third brother, I want to know how the media group makes a profit, or if it doesn't make a profit, how much money does the Ye family need to invest every year?"
“Nowadays, when it comes to media, there are only a few ways to disseminate information, such as newspapers, television and radio broadcasts.
Currently, not many companies advertise in the media, but in the future, advertising will be the main source of income for media companies.”
"Nowadays, some companies are advertising in newspapers, but the revenue is barely enough to support a large number of journalists."
"That's true. Good wine needs no bush. In ten years this situation will change.
With the end of the war, all countries will vigorously develop their economies, and developing the economy will definitely require the construction of a large number of factories.
As more products are produced, they will be divided into good and bad, superior and inferior. So how do we distinguish the superior from the inferior?
It all depends on whose product is more famous.”
Suddenly, Ye Mingyu seemed to understand something.
