After signing a letter of intent with Pengcheng, Xing Baohua returned to Hong Kong as soon as possible.

Zhao Shanhai called from the Far East.

Two plots of land were mortgaged for 1.83 billion rubles. This was indeed unexpected for Xing Baohua, and dozens more plots of land were also being worked on.

Xing Baohua originally thought he could get several hundred million, but the amount exceeded his expectations.

Let's get this money back first, and then we'll hear Zhao Shanhai's detailed report.

He notified HSBC and Morgan Stanley that he needed to exchange rubles for US dollars.

I had previously contacted HSBC and JPMorgan to arrange for them to help me exchange the money through their branches in Europe and Red Square. The money is currently held in their banks and will be transferred to other accounts under Xing Baohua's name when needed.

Xing Baohua sent several financial experts to help Zhao Shanhai handle these follow-up matters.

Even though the loan is approved, a large sum of money still needs to be monitored.

How to circumvent regulations is a matter for those financial experts.

If you do it well, you'll earn a lot of commission; if you do it poorly, you'll probably just be eating peanuts.

There's no way around it; risks exist everywhere, especially in polar bear territory.

Given that HSBC and Morgan Stanley are both very powerful, their involvement greatly increases the chances of success.

By using local foreign-invested enterprises and paying for goods through orders, those billions of rubles could be laundered.

However, Xing Baohua won't have that much left, as there have been many expenses and losses, amounting to a loss of approximately 400 million US dollars.

Keep in mind that at that time, the ruble was roughly the same price as the US dollar.

Tens of millions of dollars worth of land were exchanged for 1.4 billion dollars.

Just imagine how exciting that would be! If we mortgage a few more plots of land, we could recoup our initial investment.

The Polar Bear is a large country, composed of many allied nations and states. Each allied nation has its own banking system, in addition to the state banks. Therefore, Zhao Shanhai contacted each one, sending gifts to each state bank and allied bank, ensuring that no two land loans were duplicated.

Xing Baohua returned to the company and immediately contacted Zhao Shanhai.

On the phone, Zhao Shanhai was also very happy, as another loan had just been deposited into his account. He added that there would be a continuous stream of loans deposited into his designated financial account in the future.

Zhao Shanhai said that the people he saw here were all very greedy.

They disregard the interests of the government and only care about their own income and extra money.

He even saw the thick envelope addressed to the commissioner, and his eyes lit up with greed, like a wolf.

"How did so much funding come about?" Xing Baohua asked, still concerned about the process.

"It's just like you said. I bought more than ten tons of coal and buried it underground. When we dug it up, a little bit was exposed. After the exploration team came to investigate, I treated them to three meals and gave them some red envelopes. They made a detailed inventory report and said there were 200 billion tons of coal stored underground."

Most of the time, it's along this route; after the assessment, the loan is disbursed.

Zhao Shanhai talked on and on for more than half an hour, but the rest of his words sounded like a machine, completely lacking the excitement he had at the beginning when he was making hundreds of millions and a dozen or so.

I guess they've become numb to those greedy people.

He had so much to say! But he didn't dare to say it. He felt very suppressed, and kept suppressing it.

Xing Baohua repeatedly warned him to be careful over the phone, and that after the preliminary work was completed, he could stay behind the scenes and let the hired Japanese do all the work.

This would greatly reduce the risks for Zhao Shanhai.

After finishing the call, Xing Baohua felt relieved. He never expected to snatch something from the jaws of death so easily.

Consider that Western countries are also fleecing the polar bears, amounting to hundreds of billions. So, his taking a few hundred million is nothing.

Actually, Xing Baohua didn't know that Morgan, whom he had hired, had also taken action.

However, the methods used were far more sophisticated than what Xing Baohua had envisioned.

Two days later, several sums of money were successfully deposited into Xing Baohua's bank accounts at HSBC and Morgan Stanley, and were transferred in batches to Japan and Japan.

When Xing Baohua transferred more than 800 million US dollars to Mitsui Bank, the bank's top management was alarmed.

I urgently contacted Mitsui Fujisaburo in Hong Kong, hoping he could inquire about Xing Baohua's intended use of the funds.

No one believed that Xing Baohua would simply leave a huge sum of money in a bank to earn interest. He must have taken some action; was he buying other financial products, or continuing to acquire Nissan shares?

Xing Baohua now holds 4.9% of Nissan's circulating shares. If we give him a takeover bid, it won't be buying stocks; it will be a hostile takeover!

With the addition of over 800 million US dollars, Xing Baohua will have over 2 billion in cash plus 5% of the stock value, bringing his total funds to over 3 billion.

If more than 3 billion yuan is invested in Nissan, Xing Baohua will be able to obtain approximately 23.7% of the shares.

At that time, Nissan will have its largest individual shareholder.

If Xing Baohua wants to become the chairman of Nissan, based on his shareholding, he could bribe some shareholders, overthrow the current board of directors, and smoothly ascend to the chairman's seat.

This is the last thing Nissan wants to see.

But there's no other way; we've been forced into a corner. If we don't take action soon, Nissan might change hands.

Even if Nissan were to put up over 2 billion yuan in cash to compete with Xing Baohua, they couldn't. They have assets worth over 10 billion yuan, but they don't have enough money to buy back Xing Baohua's shares at a premium.

The only solution is to talk. Talk properly, instead of provoking this guy with harsh conditions.

I used to use contracts to trick people, but now I realize some people have absolutely no sportsmanship. They throw money at people at the drop of a hat; who can stand that?

Mitsui Fujisaburo received a call from headquarters requesting a meeting with Xing Baohua.

Since Ofrecht hadn't arrived from West Germany yet, Xing Baohua delayed for a few days, saying he was very busy and would let him know when he was done.
