Chapter 174 Mitsui Shoushan's Visit

Tao Xi was not anxious about Noriega's hesitation and wait-and-see.

Instead, with the help of Louis Borken, he set up a [Panama Sunshine Industrial Bank] in Panama.

After all, Tao Xi now has nearly 100 billion US dollars in his hands. If he continues to put it in Wells Fargo Bank, he can't keep Old Shay from being unhappy, so he will swallow his money!

With Tao Xi's own bank, Tao Xi will be much more at ease.

Klein looked at the bank in front of him, which was only four floors high and had a security guard, and couldn't help but smile: "Tao Xi, are you sure you really have that much money in this bank? I remember you called Marko yesterday. $7 million to pay for the construction of the Panama auto factory and the construction of the Nicaragua Grand Canal.”

Tao Xi couldn't help but sighed when he heard Klein's teasing.

When the most in the pocket was only 3 million US dollars, the money was not enough to spend. Now 100 billion in the pocket is still not enough to spend. The expansion of the Panama Canal alone costs more than 80 billion, which is not counted. Expenses for staff on the entire Panama Canal section.

Ever since Old West knew that he had money in his pocket, he came over every few days and asked Tao Xi for additional investment. Even his godfather Bolton wanted to leave 5 million US dollars for the development of [Neil United Cinemas].

The original small amount of money is now spent on the remaining 70 billion U.S. dollars.

"If I hadn't known the money was going to further my career in California!"

"I must have hidden the 100 billion in a place where none of you know."

Klein smiled and shook his head: "Then you don't even have to answer the phone calls from Mr. West and Nelson, I heard that your godfather asked Kushner to come to Panama to see if you are safe or not. .”

Tao Xi couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard this sentence. They didn't care about it when Nicaragua was at war.

Prince stood happily at the gate of Taoxi's bank, carefully arranging the flower baskets sent by Wells Fargo: "Taoxi! I heard that Noriega recently promoted Louis, right?"

Tao Xi nodded and replied: "Yes, don't forget, but your Drug Enforcement Administration intercepted the weapons sold by the CIA to the Nicaraguan Revolutionary Army and directly dropped them in Panama."

"Oh? Really? You didn't say it, I forgot about it."

Tao Xi saw that Prince was like a madman, and Prince couldn't help but roll his eyes at the fact that Prince was still the head of Central America in the Drug Enforcement Administration.

"I advise you to manage your subordinates carefully."

"In case you don't know how to step down, even Noriega doesn't know that the weapons of the prisoners were dropped by air, otherwise there will be another wave of cleansing at the air traffic control office in Panama!"

Prince replied with an indifferent expression: "I am only responsible for approving action support. Whether this matter is done well or not, it has nothing to do with me."

Walking into the gate of [Panama Sunshine Industrial Bank], the three of them found a place at random and sat down.

"Tao Xi, since you have a bank, are you going to use this bank to avoid taxes?"

"The Drug Enforcement Administration has caught a lot of drug dealers laundering money in Panama. If you can discuss with Luis, maybe you can get a tax exemption policy, and your bank can have an extra source of income."

Tausi hurriedly waved his hand and rejected Prince's suggestion, "No, no, no, I'm not interested in generating income from the bank at all. I just want to create a convenient condition for contracting the Panama Canal."

"Pity!"

Tao Xi saw that Prince, an American civil servant, took the lead in poaching the corners of the United States and did not say a word for a long time.

Prince, on the other hand, looked here and there in [Panama Sunshine Industrial Bank] carelessly, and occasionally popped out a few boring words to run on Klein.

In fact, Tao Xi's plan for [Panama Sunshine Industrial Bank] is not just to make him a bank. If a bank can't bring income to his boss, wouldn't he waste its financial attributes?
It's just that this matter has to be done slowly and can't be too anxious!
Osamu Suzuki of Japan's Suzuki Group has made a lot of money recently!

Holding the shares of [Nicaragua Energy and Mineral Group], he not only successfully doubled his shares, but also easily borrowed 130 billion yen from Mitsui Bank of Japan, totaling more than 9000 million U.S. dollars. .

More than 9000 million US dollars is already a lot!
Don't look at the 100 billion US dollars in Tao Xi's pocket, but Tao Xi's 100 billion US dollars came from cutting leeks.

The Nicaragua Mining Group is a huge stock market capital market. Tao Xi was the banker at the beginning, but he left the market early enough to hand over all the shares in his hand to bankers on Wall Street in the United States.

Then the bankers will harvest their next level, one level at a time, and the final losers must be the American stockholders and the middle class.

"Suzuki-kun, I'm surprised that you can get such high-quality assets from the Americans."

"I don't know if the Mitsui Consortium still has a chance to obtain these original shares. You know that the major Japanese conglomerates have been buying wildly in the United States recently. If our family doesn't make some moves, it may shame me!"

Two Japanese kneeling in a tea house burning with incense.

After hearing Mitsui Shoushan's question, Suzuki Osamu did not rush to answer but poured a cup of green tea into each other's tea bowls.

When Mitsui Shoushan saw the attitude of the old guy Suzuki Osamu, he was not in a hurry but said slowly: "I heard that the Suzuki Group is very interested in the land in Ginza recently. I just happen to have a piece of land in my hand, why not?"

Mitsui Shoushan did not finish his words, but Suzuki Osamu nodded and replied with a smile on his face: "Shoushan, you are young, it is normal for you not to know this matter, you must know that the Suzuki Group also paid a certain price to do it. got this opportunity."

"Oh?"

"I wonder if Mr. Suzuki can help me introduce this gentleman?"

Osamu Suzuki smiled and shook his head: "Shoushan, when I left the UK, all the shares in that gentleman's hands had been delivered, but I happened to know that a large amount of funds in this gentleman's hands were placed in the rich country of the United States. Bank, if you can offer enough money, it is not impossible for me to introduce you."

Mitsui Shoushan's eyes lit up instantly when he heard Suzuki Osamu's words.

Now the whole of Japan may raise interest rates for the third time at any time. If the Japanese government raises interest rates again, the assets in their hands will rise again invisibly!

"Then don't you know that the land in the Kanto region is okay?"

In the 80s, when the Japanese economy was at its most inflated, the most profitable business in Japan was real estate and land sales. As long as you hold the land in your hands for more than three years, the price of this land may have to change again. soaring.

"Kanto region?"

"Shoushan, do you want to sell all your land in Kanagawa?"

"If that's the case, that gentleman will definitely meet you!"

Suzuki Osamu smiled meaningfully, but Mitsui Shoushan was stunned for a moment.

The land owned by the Mitsui Consortium in Kanagawa is valued at more than 60 billion US dollars. Who in the United States has such a large cash flow to support this transaction?

Could it be that Mr. Tao Xi asked for all cash when he sold the original shares?

Mitsui Shoushan couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva and hesitated: "Can he really trade such a large sum of dollars?"

The foreign exchange reserves of 60 billion US dollars are enough for the Mitsui conglomerate to do many things, even if the 60 billion US dollars are used as the foreign exchange reserves of the Mitsui consortium, it is completely enough!

"can!"

"Of course, the head of the Mitsui family must agree!"

"I heard"

Suzuki Osamu didn't finish his words, and was interrupted by Mitsui Shoushan directly: "Mr. Suzuki, I hope I can meet that Mr. Tao Xi in person. If this transaction is concluded, I will make an appropriate concession for the land in Ginza."

Hearing Mitsui Shoushan's answer, Osamu Suzuki patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction and left unsteadily.

But Mitsui Shoushan was still sitting there in a daze. If it wasn't for the rolling of his eyeballs, the waiter would have called the emergency number.

Tao Xi looked at his new toy [Panama Sunshine Industrial Bank] happily.

After half a month of his hard work, the bank finally gained some popularity and deposits of less than 10 US dollars: "Prince, you have to believe me that this bank will definitely be the most powerful bank in Central America in the future!"

"Okay, okay, I believe it, isn't there going to be a Japanese coming soon?"

"Why hasn't anyone arrived yet?" Prince stood by the window and looked curiously at the pedestrians coming and going below and the Panamanian residents who came to the bank to make deposits.

Tao Xi sat down on the boss chair and yawned boredly: "It must be on the way."

"If I were to return to California this time, I would definitely take a good rest for a few months and never work again!"

Prince blinked his big eyes and looked at the brand new Toyota business car below, and couldn't help but envy: "It's awesome, the car of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not something ordinary people can ride in! You said he was looking for you What are you here for?"

"Get a deposit! That old guy Osamu Suzuki has made a lot of money from it."

"If I don't promise him, I guess he will come to Panama himself!"

Mitsui Shoushan, who was sitting in the business car, told his secretary with a serious face, "Remember to arrange a simple fan meeting in Panama. Osamu Suzuki told me that Tao Xi is very interested in the entertainment industry." The person he yearns for, his girlfriend is a Hollywood actress!"

Mitsui Shoushan saw that the secretary was taking notes with a serious face, so he walked towards the top office of [Panama Sunshine Industrial Bank] that he had made an appointment with Tao Xi.

The first floor of the huge bank does not seem to be doing very well, but Mitsui Shoushan did not underestimate the bank!
Before he set off, he asked his father to seriously inquire about the cash flow in Tao Xi's hands. After all, not every bank boss has 110 billion US dollars in liquidity in his hands.

Although Tao Xi has not appeared in major media and public occasions recently, according to his father's estimation, Tao Xi can completely eat the land of Kanagawa.

Walking upstairs, Mitsui Shoushan bowed 90° when he saw Tao Xi, which startled Prince who was watching the excitement.

"You're welcome, you're welcome, Mr. Suzuki said that you want to negotiate a business, why don't we just get straight to the point."

Tao Xi and Mitsui Shoushan briefly shook hands and immediately spoke.

Mitsui Shoushan, however, looked at Prince with a smile on his face, and then seriously replied to Tao Xi: "I don't know if Mr. Tao Xi has seriously studied the land of Japan recently?"

"Oh?"

"Then I really don't have one. After all, you all know that I was the one who carried out the preparations for the Nicaragua Grand Canal."

Mitsui Shoushan was not surprised. Instead, he put a panorama of land prices in Japan today on Tao Xi's table and pointed to the places marked with red circles emphatically.

"You can take a look at the vacant land currently owned by the Mitsui Foundation in Japan."

"If you're interested, you might as well get a few dollars, and you have a lot of dollars that everyone in Japan wants."

Mitsui Shoushan's mouth was like a machine gun and he kept explaining to Tao Xi, but Tao Xi, who was completely blind to Japan, looked at the circle drawn on Hokkaido, Japan with great interest.

The positions of these circles are very good, marking the entire coastline of Hokkaido, and there are even a few circles surrounding the most populous area of ​​Hokkaido.

"Why do you keep telling me about the land of Kanagawa and not introduce me to Hokkaido?"

Mitsui Shoushan was taken aback when he heard Tao Xi's words, but soon he gave a wry smile: "The land in Kanagawa I introduced to you can be said to be the best land in the Kanto District. If you take He can not only make money but also get a lot of capital appreciation.”

"Although the location of the land in Hokkaido is good, if no one develops it, the potential for appreciation is very limited."

Tao Xi looked up at Mitsui Shoushan with interest: "The money in my hand is useful! But I want to know if I use my money to buy your land in Hokkaido, can I continue to use these Pledge the land and loan the same value of Japanese yen from Mitsui Bank?"

Mitsui Shoushan was obviously caught off guard by Tao Xi's question.

At least he sat in front of Tao Xi for a long time without speaking, but Tao Xi was not in a hurry but chatted with Prince beside him.

Mitsui Shoushan understood Tao Xi's demand!

That is, the land in Hokkaido was still sold to Tao Xi, but Tao Xi had no loss in the middle, he just exchanged the dollars in his hands for Japanese yen, but Mitsui Bank needed to bear all the risks of the land in Hokkaido!
This deal seems to be a bit uneconomical. Mitsui Shoushan sat opposite Tao Xi and walked, and it was not right if he didn't leave.

The first negotiations between the two people seemed to be deadlocked here.
