Break out of the courtyard

"husband……"

As soon as Zhang Heping entered the house, his concubine Chen Shuting came up to him with a wronged look on her face.

"Why are you all gathered in the living room so late and not sleeping?" Zhang Heping glanced at his family members around the sofa, gently hugged his concubine Chen Shuting, and asked what happened.

"Dad, there's news from Hong Kong that the Taiwanese are going to impose sanctions on us again!" Zhang Nan, the second daughter, said angrily, "Tonight, eight distributors called stepmother and wanted to postpone delivery."

The person who could call Chen Shuting was obviously not a small distributor. No wonder Chen Shuting looked so depressed.

"It's okay!" Zhang Heping patted his concubine Chen Shuting on the back twice. "If the Magnesium people dare to impose sanctions, we will sell off the magnesium dollar, let it continue to depreciate, and then switch to other currencies for settlement!"

"Dad, are you going to start a currency war against the country of Magnesium?" The third daughter Zhang Nian asked excitedly, "Let the magnesium dollar depreciate, increase the purchasing cost of the people of Magnesium, and then affect their economy!"

The eldest niece Chang Wen continued, "If you want the magnesium dollar to continue to depreciate, even if you increase leverage, you will need a lot of magnesium dollar reserves!"

Facing the two girls who studied economics, Zhang Heping explained: "Before the collapse of the Bretton Woods system, the circulation of magnesium yuan was only 700 billion; even in 1980, the circulation of magnesium yuan did not exceed 1500 billion."

"Last year, the data released by the government showed that the amount of magnesium issued did not exceed 2500 billion magnesium yuan, and the national debt was within 1500 billion magnesium yuan."

"But the problem is that the cash in the accounts of Peace Group's companies currently exceeds 1500 billion magnesium yuan. What does this mean?"

"^O^!" Zhang Nian opened her mouth in shock, her eyes shining as she thought of the possibility of victory, and then she remembered the economic warfare her father often talked about.

"It means that the magnesium yuan is seriously over-issued!" Chang Wen's eyes were also shining. If the 3 billion magnesium yuan that her third uncle Zhang Heping said was true, there would be a very serious loophole in the currency credit of the magnesium country!
Since a Hong Kong company has so many magnesium dollars, wouldn’t those magnesium companies in the United States have less magnesium dollars?

But in fact, the funds in the accounts of Peace Group, Tingmei Trading, Peace Investment, and Stepmother Investment, even without counting the nearly 9 trillion yen, amount to 1678 billion magnesium yuan!
If we take into account the cash flows in other subsidiaries’ accounts, as well as the Hong Kong dollars issued by Hong Kong Island Huifeng, Standard Chartered, and Bank of China in conjunction with MG Yuan, we can find that MG Yuan is seriously over-issued!

Unfortunately, Tang Xin, Ma Xiuzhen, Zhang Bing and other younger generations did not understand the risks involved. They were only shocked by the 1500 billion magnesium yuan in cash of the Peace Group, but ignored the value of the Peace Group's other inherent assets.

"Okay, go to bed quickly. Staying up late is not good for your health!" Zhang Heping held the arm of his concubine Chen Shuting and walked towards the elevator door, and did not forget to greet his first wife Tang Xin.

"Honey, are you really okay?" The young wife Chen Shuting was still a little worried, because after becoming pregnant, her nerves had been stretched a lot and she hadn't reacted yet.

Zhang Heping said indifferently: "Instead of worrying about the sanctions from the Magnesium people, you might as well think about how to spend all the money in your account. No matter how much money you make, as long as you don't spend it, it's all waste paper!"

"Tomorrow, call and ask about the progress of the Durex acquisition. The condom production line in Banna is about to be installed."

"Have any plans for Shenzhen's real estate projects come out? Once Shenzhen starts auctioning land use rights, real estate investment in the mainland can begin."

"I just told the third in command of Shanghai about my intention to develop Shanghai Pudong. Please arrange for a public relations person to follow up."

……

The next morning, Zhang Bing, who was watching TV in the living room out of boredom, suddenly saw Zhang Long and Zhang Hu, followed by Chang Xing and Chang Qing, who were of similar age, running down the stairs in a hurry.

"Xiaolong, Xiaohu, where are you going?" Zhang Bing asked casually.

"The veterans who cooperated with the experiment of smart wearable equipment have arrived. My dad asked us to come over!" While Little Five Zhang Long was replying, he had already run to the door.

"Slow down! If you run into your stepmother, you'll see how your dad will deal with you!" Ma Xiuzhen, who had just returned from buying groceries with two nannies, said to the four boys, and then saw her husband Zhang Bing following out.

"Where are you going?" Ma Xiuzhen asked Zhang Bing puzzledly.

"I heard that there are veterans coming, I'll go take a look!" Zhang Bing replied, then limped out.

"Chang Qing!" Ma Xiuzhen shouted to the back, "Come and help your grandpa!"

Seeing that her grandson ran back obediently, Ma Xiuzhen no longer cared where Lao Zhang went.

After returning home, Ma Xiuzhen went to the second floor to take a look. Her son's younger daughter-in-law was busy working on the phone in the study, while the older daughter-in-law was teaching the little girl Zhang Nuola to play the violin in the instrument room.

As for the other boys and girls, they had not returned since they went out with their bodyguards in the morning.

Zhang Long, Zhang Hu, Chang Xing and others who had just escaped were now watching the people getting off the six buses with Zhang Bing. One third of them were in wheelchairs, and a small number of them had broken hands or were blind.

Zhang Long said excitedly: "Grandpa, my dad said that the first task of our smart wearable laboratory is to restore the normal mobility of these disabled veterans."

Zhang Bing looked at the disabled soldiers sitting in wheelchairs, ranging in age from 20 to 50, and asked, "Should we give them prosthetic limbs?"

Zhang Long looked at his grandfather Zhang Bing's right leg prosthesis exposed under his shorts and said with a smile, "Other factories have already produced ordinary prostheses. What our smart wearable laboratory is going to make is exoskeleton mechanical equipment that allows you to run and fight freely with them."

When Zhang Bing heard the words "running" and "fighting", he understood what the equipment was.

The existing prosthesis can only allow him to walk slowly. If he wants to run, the compression on the end of the severed limb will cause great damage.

Zhang Bing looked at the young men wearing sunglasses and being supported by others and asked, "What are you doing recruiting those blind veterans?"

"That's the second task of our smart wearable laboratory!" Xiaoliu Zhanghu said first: "Developing brain nerve connection devices should not only restore the sight of the blind, but also restore the hearing of the deaf."

Zhang Long continued, "There are still many work plans to come, which are confidential and cannot be discussed any further!"

While the grandfather and grandson were talking, the veterans and their accompanying family members who got off the bus were also looking at Zhang Bing's right leg prosthesis that was shining with silver light.

Zhang Heping rode over on a bicycle and said to the receptionists, "Aren't you standing here in the sun? Quickly assign rooms, take everyone to the cafeteria for lunch, and hold a briefing in the gymnasium at 2pm to sign a confidentiality agreement."

After Zhang Heping finished speaking, he waved to the four boys in the family and asked them to help carry the luggage to the apartment building.

"Heping, I just heard them talking about wages." Zhang Bing asked tentatively, "Can your uncle Li and uncle Tang come over?"

"I asked someone to ask!" Zhang Heping looked at his 61-year-old father, "They refused to come and wanted to stay in the capital with their family."

"Dad, the hospital is going to do a comprehensive checkup on these veterans these days. You should also go through the checkup so that they can give you a new prosthesis in the future."

Zhang Bing nodded and said, "You go and do your thing first. I'll help them push the wheelchairs."

While they were talking, another row of buses slowly drove over. A quick look showed that there were at least 20 of them. These were retired soldiers recruited by the Shenzhen branch of Umbrella Security. Most of them were contacted by Director Wang. Wei Chunqiao only recruited more than people, so their political review was very strong, but they could not be used to dump corpses on the high seas.

Fortunately, most of the people Zhang Heping abandoned on the high seas were foreigners.

Director Wang, Mr. Hua and other senior colleagues have all experienced the cruel war years and can tolerate Zhang Heping's extreme methods.

However, with the older generation stepping back, with the improvement of the legal system, and with the return of Hong Kong and Macao, Zhang Heping can no longer do as he pleases in many matters.

Wei Chunqiao, wearing a prosthetic right arm, walked over quickly and said to Zhang Heping respectfully, "Boss, the first batch of 615 people has arrived. What do you think we should do next?"

Zhang Heping looked at the group of veterans lining up quickly, as well as the dozens of young men who didn't fit in, and said helplessly, "If those guys can't keep up with the training, send them back to be security captains in Hong Kong Island."

Wei Chunqiao said hurriedly: "Don't worry, boss. I have already informed those bastards in advance. We only have one chance."

Zhang Heping patted Wei Chunqiao on the shoulder and said, "Old Wei, tell the brothers. If you have money, just let your children and grandchildren study more. If you want to do business, help Tingmei Trade distribute products."

Wei Chunqiao said sincerely: "Boss, the brothers think that we should leave some trustworthy people here for you, and let those guys do the dirty work. At the critical moment, they can still..."

Zhang Heping waved his hand to interrupt Wei Chunqiao, put his hands behind his back and walked towards the group of veterans, saying softly: "We can't mess around in the country, this is our retreat!"

Wei Chunqiao followed closely behind and said respectfully: "Okay, Boss! I will remind those bastards to train well and not let them cause trouble in the country!"

The reason why Wei Chunqiao, a disabled veteran, has been able to stay at the top of the Umbrella Security Company for so long is all thanks to Zhang Heping's support.

Otherwise, he would have been replaced by Tang Hu, the security manager.

However, if Tang Hu became the head of the Umbrella Security Company, his son Tang Wei would not be suitable to be the manager of the technical department. It would probably be better to arrange for him to go to the Computer Research Center.

As for the motivation of those old bodyguards in arranging their grandchildren here, it was purely for the management positions in this branch company. Dirty and tiring work, etc. Just listen to it and don't take it seriously.

"After you are assigned dormitories, you will go to the cafeteria to eat. In the afternoon, President Wei will hold a meeting with you to introduce our company's benefits." Zhang Heping walked slowly in front of the veterans in the front row with his hands behind his back. "You will start training tomorrow, and the assessment will be conducted in three months to decide whether you will be bodyguards or security guards."

"Also, the Shenzhen branch's general manager, security manager and other management positions have not been filled. I may select someone from among you or transfer someone from outside. So, perform well in the next three months."

After Zhang Heping finished speaking, he handed the team over to Wei Chunqiao and rode his bike back to the teaching building without even introducing himself.

As for the management of the Shenzhen branch of Umbrella Security, Zhang Heping actually has some candidates in mind, who are the people who have been stationed in the Umbrella Security headquarters.

Half of the instructors who trained the new employees of the Shenzhen branch this time were those people.

What Zhang Heping didn't expect was that the group of old bodyguards would send their children and grandchildren over to give them a chance.

...

Energy and Transportation Building, Central, Hong Kong Island.

"Ms. Emily!" Guan Wenguang, the manager of the power department of the renewable energy company, said to the secretary of the Magnesium Embassy with a smile: "Our company also wants to restore power to your embassy to reduce the pressure from public opinion."

"However, the five maintenance workers we sent to your place were searched by your guards, who also threw their tools on the ground for inspection."

"For this kind of insult to human rights, our maintenance workers have the right to refuse service, don't you agree?"

Emily, the curvy blonde secretary, glanced at the pairs of eyes outside the glass partition again and said helplessly, "Manager Guan, can I invite you to dinner tonight?"

Guan Wenguang smiled and said, "I would really like to have dinner with the beautiful Ms. Emily, but your country of Magnesium has been targeting our Peace Group recently. For the sake of my current position and benefits, I dare not accept your private invitation!"

"How about this! You raise the service tip, and I'll help you communicate with the maintenance workers. I hope I can convince a few maintenance workers to go to the Magnesium Embassy to deal with your power outage problem."

Faced with this stubborn guy, this Magnesium woman who thought she was quite pretty felt frustrated.

Which normal company’s office would have this kind of full glass partition and would not allow the installation of curtains for blockage?

As a result, she was unable to use her beauty tricks.

The blonde secretary Emily came forward and sat down beside the desk, showing her curvy figure to the middle-aged man behind the desk. "Manager Guan, you said this several times before, but we have already offered a service fee of 1 Hong Kong dollars per person, and still no maintenance worker is willing to go."

Guan Wenguang, the manager of the power department, leaned back in his chair, glanced at the colleagues who were watching the fun outside the glass partition, spread his hands, and said, "Didn't I tell you a few times before?"

"Once the five insulted maintenance workers publicized the incident, the union intervened and demanded that the Magnesium embassy publicly apologize to them, otherwise no one would be allowed to provide services to you."

"Since you guys are unwilling to apologize, I can only help you talk about raising the tip. Otherwise, I'll get a few maintenance workers over, and you can ask them out for dinner?"

Nima!

When the blonde secretary heard that the other party wanted her to communicate with several maintenance workers, she felt offended instantly.

Although she knew that her panties were very loose, it still depended on the person. How could a maintenance worker who was of no use to her get into her bed!

But thinking about the deadline given by the new director, Secretary Emily suppressed her anger, took a deep breath, and said with a forced smile: "As long as Manager Guan can go with me, I have no problem!"

...

Peace Hospital, Central, Hong Kong Island.

"Director Liao, I'm risking being fired for letting your Department of Health bring the Magnesium people into the hospital today. You still want to go to the Peace Healthcare Institute, which is absolutely impossible. I don't have that much power."

"President Wang, these three are inspectors from the Magnesium International Development Agency. They want to support your research on AIDS. Can you contact Mr. Zhang and ask him if he agrees to visit?"

"I'm sorry, Director Liao!" Wang Shouren, acting director of Heping Hospital, said calmly, "My secretary has just called to ask, and Mr. Zhang said he is not short of money, especially magnesium!"
