Chapter 552: The biggest investment return since crossing over, earning 68.1 billion Hong Kong dollars

Now that the contract has been signed, the transaction with the Mitsubishi Group will be even easier.

With the cooperation of Citibank, Lin Haoran quickly completed this huge transaction with the Mitsubishi Group.

After the funds from the Mitsubishi Group arrived at Citibank's account, Lin Haoran settled the accounts with Citibank.

Previously, the agreement reached between Lin Haoran and Citibank was:
Citibank will serve as the financial advisor for Lin Haoran's acquisition of Toyota Motor shares, and the commission is set at 1% of the total transaction price, which refers to the purchase price.

If Citibank is able to negotiate shares at a price below market value, it will also receive additional commission rewards based on a gradient of savings.

In addition, Citibank agreed to provide financing services for the acquisition, with the financing period tentatively set at 6 months and the total interest rate preferentially reduced to 2.5% during the period.

If the advance is repaid in advance, the interest will be reduced proportionally.

From March to now May, more than two months have passed. Lin Haoran simply calculated the three months and settled the interest rate at 3%.

Citibank spent a total of 20 billion yen to help him acquire this 3198% stake in Toyota.

In the end, Citibank received a total of 78 billion yen in interest, commissions, and bonuses.

In other words, the 3198 billion yen that Lin Haoran obtained from this transaction needs to be deducted from the cost of 78 billion plus 3276 billion, a total of billion yen.

Lin Haoran received the final 2724 billion yen.

It can be said that both parties are happy.

Although Citibank only received 78 billion yen, the transaction was completed just over two months ago, so for them, this was quick money.

As for how Lin Haoran earned so much, it was entirely due to his ability, and he himself took great risks.

As an intermediary, Citibank was naturally happy to see this happen. After all, if Lin Hao continued to make such large transactions, they would still have the opportunity to cooperate and continue to profit from it.

After completing the settlement with Citibank, when 2724 billion yen of funds arrived in Lin Haoran's account, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The success of this deal not only enabled him to realize a huge leap in his personal wealth, but also made him famous in the Japanese business community.

This is simply a battle to fame!
Because the deal reached between Lin Haoran and the Mitsubishi Group had been announced by the Mitsubishi Group yesterday.

Becoming the largest shareholder of Toyota Motor is great news for the Mitsubishi Group.

So, naturally, they couldn't wait to announce it.

Although the Mitsubishi Group did not gain controlling stake in Toyota Motor, the controlling stake in Toyota Motor is still firmly in the hands of the Toyota family.

But a 20% stake is enough to make Toyota Motor a member of the Mitsubishi Group's huge system.

As for the Mitsui Group, unless their shares successfully surpass those of the Mitsubishi Group, they are basically out of the game.

When the Mitsubishi Group announced this deal, it immediately shocked the entire Japanese business community.

Major media outlets reported on the headlines that Lin Haoran's name had become famous in Japan since he became a major shareholder of Toyota Motor, and his name had once again spread throughout the streets of Japan.

If you want to find someone in Japan who doesn’t know Lin Haoran, it would be a bit difficult.

The amount of this transaction was so huge that it was enough to shock the whole of Japan.

Therefore, many reporters wanted to interview Lin Haoran these days.

However, he avoided them all. He knew that the reporters were surrounding the Landmark Tower, so he simply did not show up at the Landmark Tower for the past few days. He only went to the headquarters of Citibank's Japan branch. The rest of the time, he just lay at home and did nothing.

Anyway, with the beautiful lady Keiko Yamada serving me, life is not boring at all.

The harvest this time was so huge that even he himself could not have imagined it.

The entire process took only two months, from the beginning of March to May.

Although it cannot be said that he got something for nothing, he really didn't put in too much effort in it.

The funds were provided by Citibank and he did not contribute a penny.

It was also Citibank that helped acquire the shares.

He then negotiated with the general manager of Citibank's Japan branch to help acquire the shares, and then negotiated with the president of the Mitsubishi Group to sell the shares.

In the end, the benefits gained were extremely astonishing.

2724 billion yen!

Converted into Hong Kong dollars, that’s 68.1 billion Hong Kong dollars!

This is also the biggest return on investment he has received since he traveled through time!

Whether it was hoarding oil during the oil crisis or gold futures, no one made so much money.

In gold futures, he made about HK$57.44 billion, and now, it is as high as HK$68.1 billion!
This is considered progress.

And, perhaps the happiest thing is that this time the money earned was from the Japanese.

When he came to Japan in February, he only brought 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, or 40 billion yen.

Even he would not have thought that he had earned so much in Japan in just over three months.

When he invested in Sony, he made 128 billion yen, which is not much compared to the money he made from Toyota, but it is not small either. Counting the returns from the two stock investments in Sony and Toyota, even without counting the assets of Cheung Kong Real Estate, his assets in Japan have now reached more than billion Hong Kong dollars.

It feels really good to make this money!
Adding the funds recovered from Sony stocks, he now has available funds of up to 300 billion yen.

He knew very well what this meant. It meant that he would not be short of funds for a long time to come!

Even if he deducted the 120 billion yen in bidding funds that he still owed to Cheung Kong Real Estate, he still had more than 180 billion yen on hand.

With money in hand, you will not be worried!
Lin Haoran was enjoying this rare leisure time comfortably. While the media was still reporting on him extensively, he had no intention of showing up in public much more often.

Time passed quickly and another week passed, and it was May 5th.

Today is an extremely ordinary day.

In his previous life, he would have given his girlfriend a red envelope of 520.

But in this day and age, how can this have so much meaning? It was just an ordinary Wednesday.

As usual, Lin Haoran enjoyed breakfast served by Yamada Keiko and listened to the news in the newspaper.

There is basically no reporting on him in today's newspapers.

Even the Mitsubishi Group deal has gradually calmed down.

After all, many things happen in Japan every day, and it is impossible to always focus on one thing.

"Mr. Haoran, are you going out today?" Yamada Keiko asked after putting down the newspaper.

"Go, of course, let's go now!" He looked at the time on the watch, it was already nine o'clock in the morning, so he said with a smile.

"Okay, we can finally go out!" Yamada Keiko was a little excited.

The boss hardly went out this week.

As a personal secretary, she naturally did not go out and served Lin Haoran at home on a daily basis.

Even she, who used to have one day off a week, doesn't do that anymore.

Yamada Keiko's parents knew that their daughter was following such an important figure, and they wished that their daughter could stay with Lin Haoran every day.

When we arrived at the Landmark Building, as expected, the reporters who had appeared frequently before were gone.

Lin Haoran arrived at Huo Jianning's office smoothly.

Ma Shimin left Japan and returned to Hong Kong a week ago.

After all, the Hong Kong Land Group is its headquarters and has a lot of things to do, so Ma Shimin can't be away for too long.

"Boss, you're here!" Huo Jianning said with some surprise when he saw Lin Haoran appear.

"What's the matter? Is there something important you want to talk to me about?" Lin Haoran asked with a smile.

"It's not a big deal, but I want to report to you that I have already reached an agreement with Mr. Kawai from Citibank about the mortgage loan yesterday. They also offered a very favorable loan interest policy. We will have in-depth cooperation. These are the terms we have agreed on. Please take a look!" After Huo Jianning finished speaking, he handed a copy of the cooperation terms to Lin Haoran.

Lin Haoran flipped through it and handed it back to Huo Jianning.

Judging from the contract information, the preferential policies offered by Citibank are indeed much lower than those in the market.

Although Lin Haoran is not short of money now, it does not mean that he will not take out a loan.

Cash is his confidence.

The cooperation with Citibank is the key to accelerating his development in the Japanese real estate industry.

After all, although his cash seems to be a lot now, according to his investment plan, it will not last long!

After chatting with Huo Jianning, Lin Haoran went to Galaxy Securities Department again.

Finally, we arrived at the Southern Company office.

In the office, Toshifumi Suzuki was busy and there was no sign of Anton Allison.

"Boss, good morning!" Seeing Lin Haoran, Suzuki Toshifumi hurriedly stood up and greeted him.

"Well, good morning, Mr. Suzuki, where is Mr. Anton?" Lin Haoran asked curiously.

"Boss, Mr. Anton went back to the United States on a business trip the day before yesterday." Suzuki Toshifumi replied.

Lin Haoran nodded and continued to ask: "How is the development of 711 convenience stores recently?"

"With your financial investment, we are developing very well. At the current speed, if nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to achieve your goal of 10,000 chain stores by the end of the year. This is our situation during this period of time. Please take a look!" After saying this, Toshifumi Suzuki handed a document to Lin Haoran.

Lin Haoran took the information and started looking through it.

"Also, boss, I want to report one more thing to you," Suzuki Toshifumi continued.

"You say." Lin Haoran said without raising his head.
