Break out of the courtyard

"Mom, little mom, what are you doing?"

As soon as Zhang Bei, Zhang Nan and his companions got off the car, they saw their stepmother posing in front of the artificial lake. Their mother seemed to be taking pictures, but the thing in her hand did not look like a camera.

Tang Xin clicked the camera button on the phone screen, then turned around to look at her children, nephews, and cousins ​​who were walking over quickly, held up her phone, and explained, "This is a smart phone. Your dad brought it back this afternoon."

smart phone?

The younger generation had heard of this word before, but had never seen it.

At this time, there was a real object present, and everyone gathered around.

"Mom, how do I use this phone?" Zhang Nan leaned against his mother Tang Xin, staring at the black-framed phone that was less than the size of a palm but had a display screen that took up 95% of the phone's surface.

Tang Xin demonstrated the functions of the phone while explaining, "This phone can only take photos, record videos, play audio and video, and make calls. Taking photos is relatively smooth, but recording, playing audio and video are very laggy. Your father is currently developing software for this phone."

After watching the demonstration, Zhang Bei saw his second sister Zhang Nan take the phone away, and couldn't help asking, "Mom, can't this phone access the Internet?"

"The telecommunications company doesn't have the supporting equipment yet, so we can't access the Internet for the time being." Chen Shuting came over and said to Zhang Nian who was trying to grab the phone:
"Be careful not to break this experimental machine. Your dad is going to use it to shoot a promotional commercial tonight!"

"Mom, you just said that my dad is making software for this phone?" Zhang Bei seemed to have thought of something and asked anxiously, "Where is he?"

"I took a laptop and went to the teaching building for a meeting." Tang Xin replied, and then reminded Zhang Nan and Zhang Nian not to damage their phones.

Then, Tang Xin helped Chen Shuting back to the villa.

On the other side, Zhang Heping was sitting on the podium in the lecture hall, typing on his laptop while answering questions from the participants.

The experts, engineers, and technicians in mechanics and electronics attending the conference acted as if they were meeting Zhang Heping for the first time. They asked questions one after another and refused to let this multitasking young man stop what he was doing.

As a bell rang, Zhang Heping said casually, "We'll stop here for today. Let's find someone we know to help us urge the lab equipment."

"No matter what, I customized those devices with my drawings and money. How can you cut in line and grab them from me?"

"Someone please report this to the higher-ups. If they don't send it over, I'll take the drawings and have it customized overseas!"

While complaining, Zhang Heping picked up the notebook with his left hand and continued typing quickly with his right hand.

The participants did not take the complaint seriously because everyone had signed a confidentiality agreement before coming here.

However, some laboratory equipment really needs to be urged, otherwise we can only talk about it on paper.

A dozen middle-aged and elderly experts who had studied Chinese computer programming followed Zhang Heping silently, wanting to see what Zhang Heping was doing in the afternoon. Then they saw lines of Chinese characters moving up quickly...

When passing by the college cafeteria, Zhang Heping did not forget to remind the experts and scholars following him and behind him to go to the cafeteria to eat.

"Teacher Zhang, is the software you wrote related to images?" A smart middle-aged expert saw something.

As for the title of teacher, this group of people followed Zhang Heping's habit of calling each other teacher when they asked each other for advice, otherwise they had to call each other comrade.

"Yes!" Zhang Heping responded without stopping his steps, his right hand, or raising his head: "Optimize some software so that it can be used on smartphones."

"Teacher Zhang, can you send us the image code you wrote?" An electronics expert said, "I think these codes may be useful in the robot recognition system."

Zhang Heping said nonchalantly, "After I finish, I will upload the source code to the computer category in the education section of the World Internet Forum so that other countries can also use it and it will be easier to sell smartphones in the future."

When these experts heard that the source code would be opened on the forum, they stopped following Zhang Heping and turned around to walk towards the cafeteria nearby.

"Teacher Zhang is good in everything except that he doesn't take technology seriously and even makes it public on the forum. This is hard to understand!"

"You are being biased. Teacher Zhang has not uploaded any of the technologies that should be kept. Otherwise, why do you think there are so many guards around the academy and why do you think we have to sign a confidentiality agreement?"

"Hey! I just think that there is no need to put a lot of technology on the forum, so that foreigners can learn it for nothing."

"Thinking about the years when foreigners blocked our technology, it is really hard to understand Mr. Zhang's actions. But since he did it, he must have his reasons, and it is his technology."

"Have you not noticed that there are many more papers uploaded by foreigners in the paper section of the World Internet Forum? If all technologies were kept secret, the World Internet Forum would not be as famous as it is now!"

...

Magnesium Embassy, ​​Central, Hong Kong Island.

"Director, we can use the telephone and Internet lines, but these open lines are easily eavesdropped by outsiders!" The blonde secretary Emily reminded, "Do you think we should keep our people working at the five major investment banks?"

"I heard that old Henry has woken up?" Director Tom, who was sitting behind his desk, did not give a direct answer, but instead asked the previous director.

Secretary Emily replied: "The old curator woke up in the hospital after being sent to Huadu last night, but the doctor still hasn't found the cause of his illness."

With the departure of the previous two directors, the affairs of the Magnesium Embassy in Hong Kong have completely fallen into the hands of Director Tom.

In other words, Director Henry has done something wrong and Director Tom needs to clean up his mess!
Director Tom was silent for a while, then he asked the female secretary who was standing there motionless, "Have you bought the AIDS test strips?"

"I have followed your instructions and distributed them to the embassy staff as soon as they were purchased." After Secretary Emily finished speaking, she frowned as if she had something unfinished to say.

When Director Tom saw the change in the secretary's expression, he had a bad guess in his mind, "Is anyone infected with HIV?"

Secretary Emily frowned and said, "78 people have two red lines on their test strips, and they are suspected of being infected with HIV!"

78 people, accounting for about one-seventh of the staff of the Magnesium Embassy in Hong Kong!

Such a high infection rate made Director Tom frown. "Buy another batch of test strips and have them recheck. If they still show infection, let them return home for treatment! Also, give me a list of the infected people."

Secretary Emily responded, and before leaving, she asked, "Director, are you going to accept the medical examination advice from the Hong Kong Island Medical and Health Department and apply for a health certificate?"

Director Tom waved the person away without answering the question.

It is impossible to get a health certificate. He just wants to prevent those infected from seeking medical treatment in Hong Kong Island hospitals to avoid confirming the rumor that Chinese people have infectious diseases.

As for whether he should use the AIDS test strips, he felt there was no need and he was very confident in his body!

Not applying for a health certificate does not mean that the protests by Hong Kong residents can be ignored.

The fact that the Hong Kong police did not stop the demonstration shows that the Eagles are behind the scenes fanning the flames and want to embarrass the Magnesium country. Although the Magnesium Embassy cannot give up Hong Kong Island, an important intelligence station, it has to pay attention to its image as a great power, otherwise no one will buy their account when they carry out espionage activities in the future!

Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye it was late at night, while it was daytime working hours in the country of Magnesium.

Director Tom called Huadu with the idea of ​​shirking responsibility.

He asked his superiors, under the pretext of asking for advice from the previous director, old Henry, how to solve the problems that old Henry had done.

"Tom, the Palace spokesperson will make a statement to reporters today. If the Peace Group does not restore the water, electricity and gas supply to our embassy in Hong Kong, we will consider imposing comprehensive sanctions on the Peace Group."

Director Tom felt relieved when he heard the solution coming from the other end of the phone.

He spread a rumor a few days ago that the United States was going to impose sanctions on the Peace Group, but the Peace Group ignored him.

Now, with the palace spokesperson in Huadu, Magnesium speaking out, this threat of sanctions is much more real!
...

That night, Mr. Hua, who took a special plane from the capital to Huadu and then took a special car to Shenzhen without stopping, met Zhang Heping, who was directing a group of people to shoot a mobile phone promotional advertisement next to the artificial lake.

"Why are you here?" Zhang Heping looked at the old man in a white short-sleeved shirt and gray trousers with some surprise.

"You are such a worry!" Mr. Hua looked at the bright advertising shed by the lake and said helplessly, "You go ahead and do your thing. I'll go take a look at the villa you gave to Xiao Wang."

Zhang Heping guessed their purpose from their answer, so he smiled and looked at the two people accompanying Mr. Hua and asked, "Secretary Chen, have you had dinner?"

The middle-aged man called by Zhang Heping said with a smile: "Advisor Zhang, we have already eaten on the plane, you go ahead!"

"Okay, I'll make some arrangements and come back soon!" After saying that, Zhang Heping went to the advertising studio and left the filming of the commercial to his children who were watching the fun.

"Shu Ting, take Xiao Nuo to bed early. Ah Xin, I'm going to Aunt Wang's place to discuss something. If I'm not back by 11 o'clock, remind mom and dad to go back and rest."

The little girl Zhang Nuo said dissatisfiedly: "No! I want to watch the commercial for a while longer!"

The young wife Chen Shuting touched her daughter's head and said with a smile: "Husband, go ahead! When we see 10 o'clock, we will take Xiaonuo back to bed."

After Zhang Heping left, Zhang Bei, Zhang Nan, Zhang Nian and others who took control of the advertising shooting immediately had their own shooting ideas, and approached director Wang Pangzi to discuss the subsequent shooting.

Zhang Heping, who was about to enter Villa No. 2, looked back at the boys and girls and shook his head with amusement, obviously sensing the shooting idea they were proposing.

Mr. Hua came all the way here with his secretary and guards so late at night, probably because of the nuclear power company and controlled nuclear fusion device he talked about this morning.

After Zhang Heping entered the villa, the conversation in the advertising booth became louder!
"Wait a minute, we'll sing and play over there. Sister Wen, one of you can take a video of us with your phone. Point the camera lens at the phone screen and us, and then..."

After Zhang Nan finished speaking, Zhang Nian added a few more key points, and then directed his younger brothers Zhang Long, Zhang Hu, Chang Xing, and Chang Qing to go back and move the musical instruments over.

Director Fatty Wang and other staff members were happy to establish good relationships with Zhang Nan, Zhang Nian and others. Putting aside Zhang Heping's status as the richest man, just the little money that these second-generation rich people could easily slip through their fingers would be enough for them to make a few movies.

What's more, the reason why Fatty Wang is famous now is because Zhang Heping asked him to shoot several episodes of Ghost Blows Out the Light and two God of Gamblers movies.

...

"The palace spokesperson in Huadu, Magnesium, has just announced that if the Peace Group does not restore water, electricity and gas to the Magnesium Embassy in Hong Kong, it will face comprehensive sanctions." After saying this, Mr. Hua picked up the teacup.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Heping also picked up the teacup and blew slowly on the rim of the cup.

Mr. Hua smiled and said, "Why? You're not worried at all?"

"There's too much money in the account, so I don't mind the little money from the guys from China!" Zhang Heping took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and smiled faintly: "Besides, they don't dare to turn against me openly now!"

"Oh?" Mr. Hua seemed to be interested. "Tell me, is it because you have a lot of money, or because you have a lot of bodyguards?"

Listening to Mr. Hua's gentle criticism, Zhang Heping said indifferently: "Many countries actually know about the over-issuance of magnesium yuan. I even know that the Northern Dynasty is still helping the magnesium country print magnesium yuan."

Northern Dynasties Yin Magnesium Yuan?
When the people in the living room heard this, they all showed expressions of disbelief.

What is the hostile relationship between the Northern Dynasty and the Magnesium Kingdom?
How could they help the magnesium guys print magnesium dollars?
Will the Taiwanese agree?

After Secretary Chen realized what was happening, he asked in surprise, "Advisor Zhang, do you mean that the Northern Dynasty is printing counterfeit magnesium yuan notes?"

Zhang Heping said calmly: "Otherwise, how do you think the Northern Dynasty got the foreign exchange to import supplies under such a tight blockade!"

When Mr. Hua was interrupted by Zhang Heping's words, he immediately thought of a lot of information about the Northern Dynasty and even temporarily ignored the purpose of coming to Zhang Heping tonight.

Secretary Chen saw that Mr. Hua was silent, so he continued to ask, "Advisor Zhang, do the people of Magnesium know about this?"

"I don't know!" Zhang Heping smiled and said, "However, those counterfeit bills are printed almost like the real ones. Although there are two flaws, they can pass the banknote detector of the Bank of Magnesium."

"Of course, that's not what I want to say."

Zhang Heping saw Mr. Hua looking at him in confusion, so he continued, "The Magnesium Super League has issued so much money. Once I leverage and sell the magnesium dollar in the foreign exchange market, and cause a follow-up effect, causing the magnesium dollar to depreciate sharply, the magnesium dollar will definitely lose its international credit!"

"If the magnesium dollar loses its status as an international settlement currency, it will lose its influence on Middle Eastern oil, so the magnesium guys dare not bet on whether I will retaliate against their sanctions!"

"In fact, the economies of Japan, Mexico, Russia, Germany and other countries have all run into problems, and there is a risk of economic collapse at any time."

"I heard from you that they didn't cause any trouble on Japan Island, they just quietly withdrew the money. Otherwise, the money in the Peace Group's account could have doubled."

More than 150 billion magnesium yuan, what does it mean to double it?
Secretary Chen stopped talking. He obviously knew how much money was in the Heping Group's account and didn't think Zhang Heping was bragging.

Mr. Hua frowned and said, "From what you said, if I let you do it, the economy of Japan, Meisu and Su will collapse?"

"That's impossible!" Zhang Heping said with a smile, "At most I can do something in Japan. If the economy of the country of magnesium collapses, they will start a war and use force to refresh the credit of the magnesium dollar. By then, I won't even have any business to do."

"Where is Bei Su? You didn't mention Bei Su just now!" Old Hua frowned and looked at Zhang Heping, trying to judge whether what Zhang Heping said was true or not.

Zhang Heping laughed and said, "No one will believe me now, I'll come back to talk about this in a few years!"
