Chapter 607: China-Magnesium Cooperation Deepens
"I want to study abroad in the country of magnesium!"

Zhang Bei and Zhang Yi, who were looking around on Zhongguancun Electronic Street, looked over when they heard the voice. The person who spoke just now should be the young man with glasses next to the two girls.

The man with glasses said to the two female students confidently: "The delegation is visiting Magnesium today. They will definitely strive for more international student quotas from Magnesium."

"Next semester, I will continue to apply for the qualification to study abroad in Magnesium next year. Even if I cannot study abroad at public expense, I will find a way to study abroad at my own expense!"

"Wait until I finish my studies and come back..." The young man was talking excitedly when he found that the two girls next to him were no longer looking at him, so he couldn't help but follow their gaze.

Two young men wearing white T-shirts, yellow shorts and white mesh rubber shoes passed by them.

"Xiaobei, is Magnesium a good country? I found that many people want to study abroad in Magnesium."

"Generally, there are just more tall buildings and cars over there, and the rest..."

"Humph! You make it sound like you've been to Magnesium!" The man with glasses snorted disdainfully, feeling embarrassed in front of the two female classmates. "Do you know which direction Magnesium is in? How dare you talk about Magnesium!"

Tweet!
The white electric SUV on the side of the road suddenly made a noise, and the front and rear yellow lights of the car flashed.

Then, the young man who looked like a foreigner opened the driver's door, looked back at the man with glasses who was a worshiper of foreigners with an expressionless face, and then drove away.

"Xiaobei, where are we going now?"

"Let's go to the computer room of Shuimu University first, and wait for my dad to call us, then we'll go to Capital University to pick him up." Zhang Bei asked casually while driving, "Which university do you think you can get into this time?"

Zhang Yi said: "I should be able to go to the Capital University of Science and Technology next door, which is not far from Shuimu University."

...

"Hello, comrade!" A postman came to the gate of No. 5 Wanshou Road on his bicycle and said to the guard on duty, "Here is a college admission letter for Zhou Xiaochun. Could you please call someone? She needs to show her ID card to receive the admission letter."

"Please wait!" The guard saluted, then picked up the wireless walkie-talkie at his waist and reported the situation to the duty room.

Not long after, a tall young girl in a white dress ran out, followed by several boys and girls and an old lady.

After checking Zhou Xiaochun's ID card, the postman handed over the envelope containing the admission letter, congratulated him, and rode his bicycle to the next house.

"Xiaochun, which school did you get into?" Ma Xiuzhen came to the gate a little breathless.

Zhou Xiaochun looked at the sender on the envelope with surprise on his face.

"Grandma, Xiaochun was admitted to Capital University!" Chang Wen, who also took the college entrance examination this year, said with envy in her tone.

"Hello, Capital University! Hello, Capital University!" Ma Xiuzhen stepped forward, looked at the envelope that Zhou Xiaochun had not yet opened, and said with a smile: "Xiaochun and Xiaonan will be university classmates in the future, so they can take care of each other."

"Sister, open the envelope quickly and take a look!" Zhou Xiaopeng said impatiently, "Once we confirm that it is the admission letter from Capital University, we will call our parents and write a letter to our grandfather in Xinjiang!"

Zhou Xiaochun was now both happy and nervous, but under the urging of everyone, Zhou Xiaochun finally carefully tore open a corner of the envelope, and then tore the opening little by little, for fear of damaging the admission letter.

"Capital University, Department of Journalism!" Zhou Xiaopeng's eyes lit up. After confirming that the name on the admission letter was his sister's, he immediately ran to Villa 11-1, shouting, "I'm going to call my parents!"

That night, the Zhang and Zhou families agreed to go to Lao Mo's Restaurant to celebrate.

After many years, Lao Mo's Restaurant is still a high-end restaurant in the capital.

However, more and more people can come here to eat Western food.

When Zhang Bei picked up his father Zhang Heping from Capital University, the Zhang and Zhou families lined up at the table to order food.

As soon as Zhang Heping arrived, he smiled at his cousin Zhou Xiaochun and said, "Xiaochun, you are great. I will give you a surprise when I get home!"

"Dad!" The second daughter Zhang Nan said with a smile: "The laptop you prepared has been given to my cousin by my mother along with her and my stepmother's gifts!"

Zhang Heping just smiled and didn't care that the gift was sent out in advance.

"I didn't tell you guys in advance that there will be rewards for getting into university!" Zhang Heping looked at Chang Wen and Zhang Yi, and asked with a smile: "Do you have the confidence to take the admission reward from me and your aunt?"

After going to Zhongguancun to look at computers for half an afternoon, and then going to Shuimu University's computer room to use a computer for a while, my eldest nephew Zhang Yi asked excitedly, "Uncle, do we have a laptop too?"

"If you pass the college entrance exam, you will have it. If you fail... hehe!" Zhang Heping deliberately left a suspense, letting his nephew fill in the blanks himself.

"That's a high-end laptop with 256MB of memory!" Zhang Bei patted Zhang Yi on the shoulder, smiled and went to find a seat, leaving Zhang Yi there feeling itchy.

When cousin Ma Lili saw Zhang Heping coming over, she hurriedly said, "Cousin, those gifts are too expensive!"

Zhang Heping ignored this distant cousin and looked at the others and said, "Wait until Chang Wen and Zhang Yi's admission letters come out, then we'll hold a thank-you banquet and invite their teachers to come and thank them."

The eldest and second sisters are still confident in their children's academic performance. Chang Wen and Zhang Yi have become much more self-disciplined since they have seen the prosperity of Hong Kong Island.

In addition, they study at Yuying School, and their grades are not outstanding, but they are among the best in the grade.

So, as soon as Zhang Heping mentioned the thank-you banquet, the two sisters began to think about who to invite.

"Brother Heping!" Zhou Laoer, who brought his wife and children, saw that others were looking for seats, so he took the opportunity to come over and say hello.

Because it was to celebrate Zhou Xiaochun's admission to university, her second uncle and his family had to be invited over. Zhang Heping had no objection to this and just nodded lightly in response to Zhou Laoer.

More than ten days later, Chang Wen and Zhang Yi received their university admission letters one after another.

Chang Wen was admitted to the economics major of the Capital People's University, while Zhang Yi was admitted to the computer science and technology major of the Capital University of Technology.

Their schools are very close to each other, both around Zhongguancun.

As Chang Wen, Zhou Xiaochun and Zhang Yi all received a laptop, a mechanical watch and a mobile phone, their younger brothers and sisters, Chang Le, Zhang Ting and Zhou Xiaopeng, were encouraged and studied very hard, threatening not to go out to play during the summer vacation.

...

Thursday, October 7th.

After Zhang Heping finished the medical technology exchange meeting at Capital University, he was preparing to take his parents, wife, children, nephews and nieces to Hong Kong Island when Director Wang Sumei brought news that China Magnesium Technology had signed an education cooperation and exchange protocol.

"I have been promoting the Chinese language and Chinese software programming for the Chinese people." Zhang Heping said to Director Wang, who looked worried, "A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a secret lover, and a secret lover is not as good as not being able to steal!"

"The more the Peace Group resists the Magnesium people, the more the Magnesium people want to steal our technology." Zhang Heping explained with a smile: "I don't have much demand for Magnesium, but there is a lot of demand for them in China."

"So, I've been waiting for the mainland to take in those students from the United States, and for the higher-ups to use this matter to negotiate terms with the United States." Wang Sumei's expression eased a little, and she asked in confusion, "Are you also waiting for the mainland to export the hardware and software of the electronic transaction security monitoring center and UnionPay servers?"

"To be precise, I am waiting for the mainland to establish an electronic transaction security monitoring center and UnionPay servers before exporting to China." Zhang Heping said with a smile: "I just don't know when the mainland's securities and futures markets will be opened up!"

"So that's how it is!" Wang Sumei murmured, "You are using these to promote reform and opening up in the mainland!"

"Auntie Wang, I have to go back to Hong Kong Island this afternoon." Zhang Heping put away his smile and said seriously, "Once the electronic transaction security monitoring center in Magnesium is built, they will connect to the Hong Kong Island Internet and then vigorously develop their financial industry."

"When the Chinese people stop paying attention to the real economy and start playing with capital, it will be the best time for our real industry to develop."

Are the people of Magnesium playing with capital?
Wang Sumei was a little confused about this, because isn’t it normal for capitalists to play with capital?
However, she did not understand what Zhang Heping meant, but she could write this matter down and report it to the economists later.

"Heping, we have also signed a nuclear energy cooperation agreement with the Magnesium people. The Magnesium people want to provide us with quality assurance and participate in the construction of nuclear power plants in Daya Bay and Taishan." Wang Sumei dropped another bombshell, causing Zhang Heping to frown.

"The technology of Taishan Nuclear Power Plant is more than 20 years ahead of Magnesium Country. I don't need to explain the pros and cons. Let's see what good things we can get from it!" Zhang Heping pondered for a moment and said calmly: "Next, I will study controlled nuclear fusion."

Zhang Heping did not intend to stop this, because Beisu was still there and the relationship between China and Magnesium was still harmonious.

"In addition, I plan to invest in building a proton accelerator." Zhang Heping looked out the window with deep eyes, "I haven't sat down to read a book for a long time!"

Proton accelerator, called proton knife in medicine, is generally used for radiotherapy of cancer tumors.

In addition to medicine, proton knives can also cut wafers and solar substrates.

Currently, the country of magnesium is conducting research on proton accelerators, but has not yet built a commercial version of the proton accelerator.

So, this was another thing that Wang Sumei couldn’t understand, so she could only write it down and report it.

"There's one more thing!" Wang Sumei found that Zhang Heping did not object to the recent magnesium policy, and a smile appeared on her face. "The Chinese Academy of Sciences established a Youth Science Fund yesterday..."

Zhang Heping shook his head, "I only donate to education and disaster relief."

"I'm not asking you to donate money!" Wang Sumei said with a smile, "I just want to tell you that if you want to do any new research, I can help you apply for research funds from the Chinese Academy of Sciences."

"No need!" Zhang Heping said confidently, "Once I withdraw my investment from Japan, I will have no shortage of research funds!"

"Are you planning to withdraw your investment from Japan?" Wang Sumei was stunned.

According to the information she obtained, the assets of Huayingxiong Company under the Peace Group were valued at more than 300 billion magnesium yuan.

Unfortunately, Zhang Heping did not reveal his investment plans in Japan, or his economic war against Japan.

...

After Zhang Heping returned to Hong Kong Island, Miss Suzuki from Rijima came to visit him.

Perhaps stimulated by the various agreements between China and Magnesium, Miss Suzuki brought Zhang Heping a loan line of 1 trillion yen.

"One trillion yen is only 1 billion magnesium dollars when converted into magnesium dollars. It's too little!" Zhang Heping shook his head unsatisfied. "The assets under Huayingxiong Co., Ltd. have a market value of more than 45 billion magnesium dollars. Tingmei Trading also has 360 sets of Heping computers in Shenzhen. These two things together are worth 68 billion magnesium dollars!"

"Are you worried that I can't come up with collateral, or do you think I'm short of that little bit of money?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, I didn't explain it clearly!" Miss Suzuki hurriedly stood up and bowed to apologize, "1 trillion yen is only the first phase of the loan amount. As long as you invest all the loans in our Japan Island, we will open a second phase of 5 trillion yen loan amount for you later. The third phase of the loan amount can be negotiated later!"

Zhang Heping knew that the Japanese would not lend him money easily, not as quickly and easily as Huifeng Bank.

However, borrowing money from Japan Island Bank is just one of the options!

Nowadays, Hong Kong and Western Europe are also connected to the Internet, and it is entirely possible to use Western European banks as a springboard to intervene in Japan's financial market and real estate!
The most important thing is that you have to take advantage of the appreciation of the Japanese yen and the depreciation of the magnesium dollar, which can double your final profits!
"Okay!" Zhang Heping nodded and said, "Leave the loan agreement here. I'll have a lawyer review it and get back to you."

"Mr. Zhang!" Miss Suzuki bowed again, "I have one more thing I want to ask of you!"

Zhang Heping was not interested in bowing and said casually, "Sit down and talk!"

"Hey!" Miss Suzuki sat down obediently and said seriously: "Our doctor wants to learn your interventional surgery, please agree!"

"I still say the same thing!" Zhang Heping said indifferently: "If you want to send people to Heping Hospital to learn technology, then release the patents of those Chinese medicine prescriptions, otherwise, forget it!"

Miss Suzuki said with a troubled look on her face: "We have tried to communicate many times, but we couldn't get those Chinese medicine manufacturers to give up their patents."

"Since they won't give up, you can have those patients fly to Heping Hospital for surgery." Zhang Heping said with a smile, "By the way, the fees at our Heping Hospital are very affordable. You should have known about it. It's cheaper than the hospitals in your Ridao!"

"Zhang Sang, we really want to learn from you..."

Before Miss Suzuki could finish, Zhang Heping raised his right hand to interrupt her, "In my opinion, patents are a stumbling block to technological development."

"We are open to teaching medical skills at Heping Hospital. What if you learn from us and then apply for a patent to restrict Heping Hospital?"

Miss Suzuki wanted to explain something, but Zhang Heping snorted coldly, "Don't tell me that the Chinese medicine formulas you applied for patents for were not learned from the mainland?"

"Don't tell me that after you applied for patents, you didn't use those patents to restrict the export of Chinese medicine prescriptions from the mainland!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang!" Miss Suzuki stood up again and bowed to Zhang Heping to apologize.

"You haven't let me down!" Zhang Heping picked up the teacup and said calmly, "I hope we can cooperate in a friendly manner. If anyone has bad intentions towards me, I don't mind using some unconventional means."

Miss Suzuki heard the threat from Zhang Heping, and seeing that Zhang Heping took a sip of the teacup but did not put it down, she decisively said goodbye and left.

After the outsiders left, the concubine Chen Shuting picked up the loan agreement on the coffee table.

"Honey, according to what you said before, the Japanese yen appreciates and the magnesium dollar depreciates. If we borrow magnesium dollars from them, then convert them into Japanese yen and invest them in Japan, and then use the Japanese yen to exchange for the depreciated magnesium dollars to pay back the debt, we can make a profit from the exchange rate difference."

"Hmm!" Zhang Heping responded and fell into deep thought.

Zhang Heping is now thinking, after borrowing so much money to invest in Japan, how can he withdraw more money!
After much thought, in addition to Western European banks, I might have to try investment banks in Magnesium.

In addition, the mainland has also borrowed several sums of money from Japan. Can debt-to-loan conversion help the mainland to repay those sums of money?
