Break out of the courtyard

An office in the capital.

"I know that this investment is as high as 140 billion magnesium yuan, but how long has the Taishan Thorium Molten Salt Reactor Nuclear Power Plant been in operation? Less than 8 months!" An old man in a gray Zhongshan suit said righteously to the participants sitting on the single sofas on both sides:

"Our engineers and technicians don't even have a thorough understanding of the technology of thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plants. Who can guarantee the safety of building 14 more thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plants? Where can we find people to manage those newly built nuclear power plants?"

"If an accident like the one at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant happens, who will be held responsible?"

Mr. Hua frowned and asked, "What is your department's opinion? Reject this investment?"

"Three!" The old man in a Zhongshan suit held up three fingers on his right hand. "For safety reasons and considering the training cycle of nuclear power plant managers, our department believes that at most three more thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plants can be built at present."

"After these three thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plants are built, our engineers and technicians will have mastered the relevant technologies. We can build nuclear power plants independently in the future and not allow foreign capitalists to control them!"

"Hmph..." Old Hua snorted coldly, picked up the teacup and was too lazy to talk nonsense with them.

Everyone knows why these people oppose it!
It's simply that the Qinshan Nuclear Power Station and Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station have not been completed yet, which has made their department lose face. They want to delay the construction of the thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power station until the two nuclear power stations are completed.

"Three nuclear power plants, corresponding to 3 billion magnesium yuan." Mr. Li, who also retired to the second line, asked as a consultant:
"Your department is saying that you don't want the remaining 110 billion yuan investment. After the three nuclear power plants are built, the state will provide funding and your department will build 3 nuclear power plants independently?"

What does 110 billion magnesium yuan mean? The old man in the Zhongshan suit knows it clearly. Even the 863 Plan did not invest so much money!

The old man in the Zhongshan suit said in a deep voice: "Our department is just for safety reasons. After all, the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident had a huge impact. If a nuclear leak occurs in the newly built nuclear power plant, no one can bear the responsibility."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a brief silence in the room. Because the impact of the nuclear leak in North Sudan was so great, many countries announced that they would stop building new nuclear power plants!

The Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station was shut down by the Magnesium people under the pretext of safety issues because of this accident.

"Did your department forget something?" Mrs. Zheng said, "Peace Investment Shenzhen Branch invested in and controlled these 14 nuclear power plants, so they should bear the relevant responsibilities."

"But we sent all the people who manage the nuclear power plant!" The old man in the Zhongshan suit retorted calmly, "If an accident happens, they can say it was caused by our people's mismanagement."

"What a despicable person!" Old Hua sneered, then stood up and left.

Mr. Li shook his head, stood up, and followed him out.

They are all people who have taken a back seat and can only express their opinions as consultants.

If they mobilize their connections, they may be able to promote these 14 nuclear power plant projects.

But it's not that time yet. The most anxious people right now should be the people from Guangdong Province, Beihu Province, and Shanghai. They are the ones who should find connections to promote this matter.

...

Hong Kong Island, Datang Investment Company.

"Robert, it's not that I don't want to help you. It's just that your Magnesium agents sneaked into the Kowloon Tong laboratory first, and then your five major investment banks broke their promises and refused to pay the 5 million magnesium yuan penalty." Tang Qiang said lightly while holding a cup of black coffee:
"Recently, you sent people to fire rockets at the Renheyi community. How can you ask me to help you make peace with my uncle?"

"Johnny, this is a misunderstanding. That grenade was definitely not fired by our people!" The middle-aged man from Magnesium, wearing a loose black suit, raised his right hand and said, "I can swear!"

Tang Qiang, whose name is Johnny in Yingwen, took a sip of coffee. After putting down the coffee cup, he looked at the watch on his left hand again, and then said slowly: "Robert, you know the truth of the matter better than me, and my uncle knows it too."

"If you want me to mediate between you, then state your conditions and your purpose. Otherwise, I will not offend my uncle for your sake."

"Johnny, this is really a misunderstanding!" The guy named Robert said sincerely, "How about this? Please help us make an appointment with Mr. Zhang, and let the new embassy director explain this to him in person."

Tang Qiang looked at the manager of Morgan Investment Bank and smiled faintly: "Robert, if Director Tom of your Magnesium Embassy wants to meet my uncle, please ask the Governor of Hong Kong to hold a party and invite my uncle to come. Only then can you meet him. I can't make an appointment!"

"Johnny, you really can't make a date?" Robert still had some hope.

Tang Qiang shrugged, "I think the Governor of Hong Kong can't make an appointment with my uncle recently!"

Tang Qiang heard some things from the Umbrella Company and guessed that Zhang Heping and his family went to Shenzhen to hide.

In addition, he also learned from his fourth aunt Tang Xin that his uncle Zhang Heping had been very busy recently and was in meetings all the time except for sleeping and eating.

In addition, the Peace Group has been targeting the Chinese people recently, so there must be more than just one intercepted grenade.

The Heping Group was previously sanctioned by Magnesium and was recently threatened by Magnesium using GPS, but his uncle Zhang Heping did not take any action against the Magnesium guys.

Now that such an obvious targeted boycott has been launched, Tang Qiang doesn't want to bring bad luck to his uncle Zhang Heping.

You know, he recently recruited several former employees of Peace Investment. Although he did not ask them about the details of Peace Investment's previous operations, he found some clues from their recent operating methods, which gave him another understanding of Peace Financial Software.

...

Shenzhen Peace Vocational Training College, Villa No. 2.

That night, after Zhang Heping had a medical discussion meeting with a group of medical staff, he was invited to Director Wang's house next door.

After Zhang Heping entered the room, he saw Huang Wenli and the investment representatives from Guangdong Province, Beihu Province, and Shanghai were all there, so he casually asked, "Don't the three leaders need to go back to preside over the work?"

The Magic City Investment Team Leader said politely: "Advisor Zhang, you are joking. Cooperating with your company is our most important task now."

Zhang Heping walked to the sofa, took the teacup from Liu Yuan, and said with a faint smile: "The three leaders came here so late, there must be a result in the capital. But looking at your gloomy faces, I'm afraid the cooperation has changed."

"Ah..." Huang Xuemin, the leader of Beihu Province's investment promotion team, sighed, "As you expected, the higher-ups did not agree to our Beihu Province building a nuclear power plant."

The Guangdong Province investment promotion team leader also sighed, "The higher-ups have decided to build one nuclear power plant near Shanghai first, and two in Guangdong Province. After the Taishan Thorium Molten Salt Reactor Nuclear Power Plant has been operating normally for three years and the three new nuclear power plants have been operating smoothly, we will consider the construction of the other 1 nuclear power plants."

After hearing the result, Zhang Heping understood why Huang Xuemin looked so depressed.

"Uncle Huang, can Beihu Province's electricity support the production and operation of our artificial diamond synthesis plant and solid-state battery production plant?" Zhang Heping smiled and said:
"If your electricity can't support it, I dare not put these two factories in Wucheng."

"You know, I'm going to use this diamond factory to capture the global industrial diamond market!"

“As for the solid-state battery factory, I will not say more. You can find out for yourself the revenue and profit of the Shenzhen New Energy Battery Factory last year.” Huang Xuemin, this old man, has been in Shenzhen for so many days and has already visited all the well-known companies and factories in Shenzhen. Naturally, he knows that the Shenzhen New Energy Battery Factory was originally invested by Zhang Heping.

The key point is that Shenzhen New Energy Battery Factory has high profits!
Last year's revenue alone reached 32 billion magnesium yuan, and this was because their production capacity was limited, otherwise it would have been much higher.

"Heping, we have agreed on these two factories!" Huang Xuemin sat up straight with nervousness, but when he saw the smile on Zhang Heping's face, he relaxed a little, "Don't worry, even if there is no nuclear power plant, I will do everything possible to ensure the power supply of these two factories!"

"One nuclear power plant was built in Shanghai because there are many factories there and there is indeed a shortage of electricity." Zhang Heping explained with a smile: "Two were built in Guangdong Province because Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao are also short of electricity."

"The higher-ups want to develop coastal cities first, but I think Wucheng, as an inland hub city with roads and railways connecting the north and south and water transport connecting the east and west, should be given priority in development."

"This way!" Zhang Heping's smile widened. "If Beihu Province can successfully win the two nuclear power plant construction projects, I will let Tingmei Trading Company invest another 2 million magnesium yuan in Wucheng to build a display production factory."

Huang Xuemin was shocked and asked anxiously, "Are you serious?"

Zhang Heping caught a glimpse of the envious eyes of the two leaders from Guangdong Province and Shanghai, and took out his black old-fashioned mobile phone to show it:

"Everyone has used a computer. If I tell you that in two or three years, you will be able to use your mobile phone to watch movies, read books, check stocks, play games, take photos, shoot videos, etc. on the Internet, do you want such a mobile phone?"

Huang Wenli saw the three team leaders staring blankly at the phone in Zhang Heping's hand, and couldn't help but say, "Dad! If the display screen and battery of that kind of smartphone are produced in Shenzhen, Director Wang only needs to make a phone call to the higher-ups, and the procedures can be approved tonight."

"Moreover, the market size of this type of smart Internet-connected mobile phone is at least at the trillion-dollar level. Can you imagine the share of mobile phone screens and mobile phone batteries in that market?"

"Can't you from Beihu Province fight for this?"

Zhang Heping put away his phone and smiled, "Uncle Huang, to be honest, with Beihu Province's current electricity supply, it can't even meet the needs of the artificial diamond synthesis factory."

"Old Huang, I remember you said that you had worked in the capital before. Why don't you take a plane to the capital this morning and check out all the connections in Beihu Province!" The leader of the Magic City investment promotion team had envy in his eyes, but he was giving Huang Xuemin advice.

Just because he is Huang Wenli's father, Zhang Heping calls him uncle.

"Mayor Lei!" Zhang Heping tilted his head to look at the Guangdong Province investment promotion team leader and said with a smile, "I don't know if the Shenzhen government has told you that the Heping Optical Card Factory, Heping Vocational Training College, and Shenzhen City Hospital will become major power consumers in the future, and at least two nuclear power plants will be needed to ensure a minimum power supply!"

"In addition, the desalination plant and refinery on Hong Kong Island will be expanded, and a nuclear power plant will be needed to provide a guaranteed power supply."

"This does not include the Hong Kong Island cloud server center that will be expanded in the future. If Guangdong Province can only build two more nuclear power plants, I will let renewable energy companies build nuclear power plants on the small islands around Hong Kong Island."

If Zhang Heping was bribing Huang Xuemin from Beihu Province, he was a threat to the investment promotion team leader of Guangdong Province.

However, Zhang Heping quickly changed the subject.

"Actually, there is another solution." Zhang Heping smiled calmly: "If the nuclear power plant cannot be built, I can also invest in building photovoltaic power plants in the deserts in the north and northwest, and do some greening in the desert."

"It's just that the construction of the north-south UHV power grid is too expensive, and negotiating cooperation with the State Grid is another hassle!"

The Guangdong Province investment promotion team leader hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Building two more nuclear power plants will indeed not be able to meet the electricity needs of Guangdong Province and the surrounding areas."

"Please rest assured, Advisor Zhang. I will report this matter now. Guangdong Province will definitely do its utmost to ensure the economic development of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao."

After he finished speaking, the old man in his 50s stood up and walked out while taking out the mobile phone from his briefcase. It was obvious that he was going out to make a phone call to report.

Because Zhang Heping was not familiar with the investment promotion team leader of Shanghai, he didn't say much to him.

Director Wang and Liu Yuan were silent. Zhang Heping said hello and prepared to go home.

But when Zhang Heping stood up, the leader of the Magic City Investment Promotion Team also stood up.

"Advisor Zhang, do you still remember the 7 billion national debt from seven years ago?" The Magic City Merchants' team leader smiled as he walked beside Zhang Heping. "It was the national debt that was going to be donated to the Ministry of Education after it matures in 19 years, and used for the construction of basic education in the central and western regions."

"Yes!" Zhang Heping nodded. "It was CITIC that made the connection. I used the textile, chemical fiber, alchemy, and metal processing equipment that Japan had eliminated to exchange for 19 billion yuan in national debts from China."

The Magic City Merchants Team Leader smiled and said, "When Consultant Zhang donated the national debt, he put forward a condition. If the Magic City Peace Hotel is to be jointly invested, leased, or sold to an external party in the future, under the same conditions, the priority will belong to Consultant Zhang!"

"I wonder if Consultant Zhang is still interested in the Magic City Peace Hotel?"

Zhang Heping paused, stretched out his right hand to the Magic City Investment Team Leader, and shook hands while saying, "In fact, the Stepmother Investment Company under the Peace Group is very interested in the Pudong development plan you proposed last year!"

"I hope you can get the approval from above as soon as possible and get favorable investment conditions!"

The Magic City Investment Team Leader asked excitedly, "Advisor Zhang, has Stepmother Investment Company also withdrawn its investment from Ridao?"

The reason why he knew about Stepmother Investment Company was that Stepmother Investment and Huayingxiong Company were very famous in Shanghai.

Because many people from Shanghai who go to work in the eastern part of Japan Island, their first job is at the Miezhi Crematorium under the Huayingxiong Company!

Most of the mainlanders who go to Japan to work come from Shanghai.

Zhang Heping smiled and said, "The money is all in the account, and I've been worrying about how to spend it. After all, the magnesium dollar has been depreciating, and it's a loss to keep it in the bank!"

"Advisor Zhang!" The Magic City investment team leader held Zhang Heping's right hand with both hands, suppressed his excitement, and asked in a trembling voice: "May I ask how much money you plan to invest in our Pudong?"

Zhang Heping's right hand trembled and shrank, and he easily pulled his hand back.

"Shenzhen is already applying for an auction of land use rights. The conditions offered by Shanghai cannot be lower than those of Shenzhen. I'm waiting for your call regarding the cooperative development of Pudong!" Zhang Heping patted the team leader on the shoulder and left quickly.

The Shanghai investment promotion team leader stood at the door and thought for a long time. It was not until the Guangdong investment promotion team leader came back after finishing his phone call that the two returned to the living room of Villa No. 2.

Seeing Huang Xuemin still whispering to Huang Wenli, the Magic City investment promotion team leader couldn't help but say loudly: "Old Huang, listen to your brother's advice, the crying child gets the milk!"

"Let's report this to our families and see if we can work together to ask the higher authorities for a few more nuclear power plants!"
