Chapter 390 Princess Margaret visits the United States

MacArthur left and the Japanese quickly forgot about him. The war on the peninsula continued, and the commander-in-chief of the United Nations forces was replaced by Matthew Bunker Ridgway, who was much calmer than MacArthur and had been stockpiling supplies on a large scale in recent times.

Hardy knew.

Among the three commanders-in-chief of the United Nations Army, Rabbit and Ridgway had the toughest fights.

The U.S. military continued to request supplies, and Japan's economy, boosted by the war, was greatly replenished and was recovering rapidly.

The Japanese government has calculated this.

In just 50 years, Japan's economy recovered to its pre-war peak. After the news came out, the whole of Japan was very excited.

They saw hope for rising again.

In the past few months, financial investment in Japan has become increasingly active, and it even feels like everyone is investing.

Many Japanese made a lot of money thanks to the surge in the U.S. stock market.

Of course,

They are all paper wealth before they are realized.

A few months.

Hans Biopharma's stock price has doubled again, and now the stock price has risen to US$106, with a total market value of US$400 million.

This price is very abnormal.

But sometimes finance goes crazy and makes no sense at all.

At this time,

Hans Pharmaceuticals made several big deals. A financial company called Nicholas Antique Mortgage Financial Investment Company spent a huge sum of US$63 million to purchase 24.7% of Hans Pharmaceuticals' shares, becoming the company's largest shareholder.

Following closely behind were 'Downey Fund Company', 'George Home Mortgage Financial Investment Company', 'Lambert Land Mortgage Financial Investment Company', and 'Williams Gold Mortgage Financial Investment Company', all of which purchased large quantities of shares.

The original African company that held a controlling stake in Hans Pharmaceuticals completely withdrew from Hans Pharmaceuticals and disappeared with the hundreds of millions of dollars.

The amounts of these transactions were huge and were reported quickly, surprising many investors.

In Japan, this transaction was also reported in detail. Since it involved several major Japanese investment companies, it attracted a lot of attention and received more attention than in the United States.

Many Japanese remember the name 'Hans Pharmaceutical'.

Japan is not without financial experts. Some of them have seen some problems. It is unreasonable to push the stock price of Hans Pharmaceutical to such a high level based on just a concept and expectation. If problems arise, all the investments will be wasted.

Some people even published their opinions in newspapers, causing some panic among the Japanese.

However, several major investment companies remained calm and published statements expressing their optimism about the company. They have already sent people to Africa to look at the experiments and said that it is foolproof.

Hans Pharmaceutical's performance did not disappoint the Japanese. News came from Africa one after another that Hans Pharmaceutical's Phase III experiment was very successful and would be completed soon before it was transferred back to the United States for further experiments.

As the news spread, Hans Pharmaceuticals' stock price began to rise again.

During this time,

Andy arranged for people to sell the circulating shares in his hands one after another, and the circulating shares, which accounted for 30% of the total share capital, were slowly absorbed by several financial companies.

So far.

Hardy sold all his Hans Pharmaceutical shares.

Andy did some calculations and found that Hardy made a net profit of $380 million from the entire process, which was the result of his two-year planning.

When you use other people's money to invest in the company you invest in, the money will easily flow into your pocket. As for the money lost by the investment company, that is the investor's money.

In the eyes of financial companies, investors are just leeks.

Actually,

All the money came from Hardy, that is, from Wells Fargo Bank. Because the Japanese had no cash, they just mortgaged their antiques, gold, real estate and land.

Hans Pharmaceuticals has not yet collapsed, so their assets have not disappeared, but Hardy knows that this bomb will explode sooner or later.

As for the results,

It also depends on the Japanese's ability to bear it.

That day, Hardy was looking at the financial statements of the Cayman Islands. Although the archipelago was still under construction, after more than a year of development, the advantages of the offshore tax haven had gradually emerged, and many companies had set up branches here.

Of course,

There must be a money laundering company here.

Wells Fargo Bank has absorbed a large amount of deposits through this. Different from the policy of Wells Fargo Bank in the United States, deposits in Wells Fargo Bank in the United States have interest, but deposits in the Cayman Islands do not have interest, and even require a management fee every year.

The same is true for some Swiss banks.

However, even so, many people still choose to deposit their money in Wells Fargo Bank in Cayman, so it is easy to imagine where the money comes from.

The secretary knocked on the door and said, "Boss, I received a telegram from England."

"A telegram from England?"

Hardy was somewhat surprised that someone in Britain would send him a telegram.

When he took the telegram, he found that it was sent from Margaret.

"My name is Margaret. I will be visiting the United States soon. You promised me that if I go to the United States, you will take me to see the scenery of the United States. Does your promise still count?"

Hardy thought of the British girl with a bad temper. To be honest, Hardy almost forgot about her. The main reason was that Hardy had no shortage of women, but he didn't want to climb the high branch of the British royal family. Contacting the British royal family was too complicated and had too many rules.

I didn't expect that this girl still hadn't forgotten me. She came to visit the United States and even sent me a telegram.

Do you want to see her?

Hardy suddenly thought of Southeast Asia. Southeast Asia was just Hardy's idea. It didn't matter whether it succeeded or not. But now he had the opportunity to contact the British royal family, which was also an opportunity.

Let’s give it a try and see if it works.

"Telegram them back and tell them that I will definitely fulfill my promise and will definitely accompany Princess Margaret to tour the United States."

The secretary called back.

The British side soon received the telegram.

After reading the telegram, Princess Margaret handed it to her sister Princess Elizabeth and said, "Sister, Hardy agrees."

Princess Elizabeth read the contents of the telegram and said to Margaret, "Your visit this time is mainly to scout ahead and send some signals. Hardy has a close relationship with President Johnson. Perhaps he can help us to ask the UK to postpone its loan repayment."

Margaret nodded, "I understand, sister."

Margaret's trip to the United States this time had political purposes. During World War II, Britain borrowed a large sum of money from the United States. In 1945, just after the end of World War II, Britain borrowed another large sum of money.

The total amount of these two loans is as high as US$22.6 billion.

This does not include the money and supplies that the United States loaned to Britain under the Marshall Plan.

According to the original agreement, the money had to be repaid starting from 1950, including principal and interest. Britain had to pay back more than 500 million US dollars every year. This was calculated over 40 to 50 years. But even at 500 million US dollars, Britain could not afford it.

The UK's economy has not recovered yet. The country repaid the first installment of more than 500 million US dollars last year, and this year is the second installment. However, the government's finances are stretched and it is certain that it cannot come up with the money. The British government has no choice but to negotiate with the US to suspend loan repayments this year.

However, because of the previous recognition of the Rabbit Country, there were some minor frictions between Britain and the United States. The British Prime Minister thought of letting the British royal family mediate to ease the relationship and test the waters. Originally, Princess Elizabeth was going to go herself, but some people said that if the US government did not agree, it would damage the dignity of the crown prince. It would be better to let Princess Margaret go, anyway, just to test the waters.

So the task fell on Margaret.

After receiving the task, the first person Margaret thought of was Hardy.

He had said at the beginning that if I went to the United States, he would treat me, but I definitely couldn't tell my sister about this.

How can I get Hardy to take me out to play openly?

Margaret was actually very smart. She thought of Hardy's identity, which might be an excuse.

It is no secret that Hardy is a wealthy man and has a very good relationship with US President Johnson. At the same time, Hardy is also a British baron and governor of the Cayman Islands, so perhaps he can act as a middleman.

Margaret found her sister and told her her idea. Princess Elizabeth thought the proposal was good, but they could not use royal or government orders. They could only borrow Princess Margaret's personal relationship with Hardy. That's how the previous telegram came about.

After putting down the telegram, Princess Elizabeth looked at her sister and warned her, "When you arrive in the United States, don't mess around. Everything must be done according to court etiquette. Do you understand?"

"After meeting with President Johnson, I expressed the British government's views and hoped that the United States would agree to postpone the repayment, just to test the waters."

"Also, we hope to get new aid and loans from the United States, which would be even better."

Margaret nodded in a pretentious manner.

But what she was thinking about was how to get Hardy to take her out to play after arriving in the United States. He had told her that there were many fun places in the United States.

Even before arriving in the United States, my thoughts had already flown away.
