Break out of the courtyard

Magnesium stocks fell for three consecutive days, and stock markets in other countries followed suit for three days, but the decline was not as severe as that of magnesium stocks. In just three days, 3 billion magnesium yuan of listed companies in Magnesium evaporated, almost losing more than half of their value!

However, the downward trend of magnesium stocks has not stopped yet, and they will definitely fall below the trillion mark in the future. As for how much the cumulative decline can be, it depends on how honest the Japanese are!
As for the Japanese stock market, the decline is getting smaller day by day, which has greatly increased the Japanese people's confidence in the Japanese stock market.

On the fourth day after the New York stock market crash, Japanese stocks took the lead in rebounding strongly.

On the fifth day, Friday afternoon, when the market was closed, the Nikkei index not only set a new high, but also boosted real estate and foreign exchange transactions in eastern Japan. The situation was very good!
However, in this good situation, the funds in the stepmother's investment account did not decrease at all, and she did not buy any Japanese stocks at all.

Only Hong Kong stocks and Eagle stocks received funding from the Peace Group, with investment budgets of 100 billion and 10 billion magnesium yuan respectively.

Over the weekend, the U.S. government announced that it would restore previous tariffs, but it did not say anything about canceling the inspection standards for health products, cosmetics, and electronic products, which seems like it is demolishing its bridges after crossing them.

Zhang Heping is not surprised by this. He can even say that whether the magnesium country imposes tariffs or has any inspection standards has nothing to do with him.

This is because Tingmei Trading’s products are only sold and distributed in Hong Kong Island. As for where those distributors sell the products, it depends on their own abilities.

Zhang Heping only needs to ensure that his products are effective and advanced enough, and the rest is just a matter of how much profit he can make.

The key point is that he is not short of money now, he just lacks projects to spend money on, and he really doesn't take the magnesium market seriously.

Just now, Zhang Heping came back from the laboratory at noon and heard his concubine Chen Shuting making a phone call in the living room, rejecting the distributor who had canceled the order last month.

"Humph! I've never seen such a shameless person!" After Chen Shuting hung up the phone, she complained to Tang Xin beside her:

"When the distributors heard that the US government was raising tariffs and increasing inspection procedures to target our Peace Group, they found all kinds of reasons to refuse to accept the goods, causing Tingmei Trade to lose 700 to 800 million yuan in profits in the past two months."

"Now that the Magnesium people say they won't impose tariffs, those shameless distributors are coming to me for help again."

"When the market was bad, they forfeited the deposit, did not fulfill the contract, and left the loss to us. Now they want to pick up the reputation they lost before, but it's wishful thinking!"

Zhang Heping walked in with a smile and reminded, "Being angry can easily cause miscarriage, so take it easy."

"Oh!" Chen Shuting immediately put down her phone and stopped worrying about company matters.

Zhang Heping walked to the sofa and reached out to help Chen Shuting, the mother-in-law who was pregnant with her child, up.

Tang Xin glanced at the empty doorway and couldn't help asking, "Honey, are Xiaolong and Xiaohu eating in the lab again?"

"Yeah!" Zhang Heping responded indifferently: "Don't worry about them, the food there is not bad either."

Several people came to the dining table and sat down. At this time, only Ma Xiuzhen, Zhang Heping, Tang Xin, Chen Shuting, and the seventh child Zhang Nuo were sitting at the huge long table.

Compared to the 20-odd family members during the summer vacation, it has been a little quiet recently.

Fortunately, after dinner, Director Wang from next door and Zhao Laoliu’s wife Ding Ning would come over and sit with us.

As for the family members living in the apartment building, they just looked at the villa area from afar, and no one took the initiative to come over.

People from both sides would at most meet by chance while walking around the artificial lake, and then pass each other by.

Unlike when Lao Zhang was here, he would go to the apartment building to chat with the old soldiers.

The reason why the relationship between the two sides is unfamiliar is that prosthetic limbs and assistive devices for those disabled veterans have not yet been made. To be precise, there is no equipment to make them!

This resulted in Zhang Heping lacking communication and interaction with the disabled veterans, let alone talking to their families.

Speaking of equipment, after returning to the laboratory, Zhang Heping started to hand-make spare parts for the 3D printer.

He has given up hope on that batch of custom-made equipment and is just waiting to ask the factories for compensation when the time comes!

It’s okay if they don’t have to pay compensation. We can let the Hong Kong and Macao media talk to them. Zhang Heping can then post the relevant technology on the World Internet Forum and hold a global bidding!

By then, Zhang Heping would probably no longer order any equipment from domestic factories.

...

As the magnesium stock market stopped falling and began to consolidate, the panic in stock markets around the world gradually subsided.

People's pessimism about the world economy is being reversed. Media from various countries are claiming that the New York stock market crash was just an accident and that this crash will rebound quickly like the one at the beginning of the year, and may even set new highs.

The basis for these media reports is the soaring Japanese and Hong Kong stocks!
The rebound of Japanese stocks is the result of the joint efforts of Japanese retail investors, Japanese companies and foreign capital.

As for the Hong Kong stock market, the Peace Group could not sell, and other retail investors and institutions followed suit and bought, which pulled the Hong Kong stock market back to the upward curve.

By the way, because the Peace Group controls the shares of many real estate companies in Hong Kong Island, plus the recent increase in holdings, some people in Hong Kong Island have secretly given Zhang Heping a nickname, "Zhang Bancheng"!
Zhuang Lin was in Hong Kong Island with his three subordinates. When he heard someone calling the richest man Zhang "Zhang Bancheng", he was stunned for a long time.

But these days they have seen people from the Magnesium Embassy in Hong Kong working and eating outside, and they are busy until very late before returning to the embassy to sleep.

Judging from the fact that the people from the Magnesium Embassy were forced to this point and were unable to do anything about the Heping Group, Zhang Heping does have the confidence to confront the Magnesium guys.

I just wonder if this "Zhang Bancheng" will still be so crazy if he loses the protection of the mainland!
After Zhuang Lin and his group of four arrived at the gate of Shenzhen University, they first called Zhang Heping's home, wanting to tell him about the concession conditions of the Mexicans, but no one answered the Zhang family's phone. No one answered Zhang Heping's cell phone either.

After Zhuang Lin called Director Wang twice and still no one answered, Zhuang Lin walked to the guard and said in confusion: "Comrade, we are from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, here are our credentials and letters of introduction."

Zhuang Lin waited for the guard to check the documents and introduction letter before asking the following question, "Excuse me, can you contact Zhang Heping or his family? I want to talk to Zhang Heping about something!"

"They are not in the college!" the guard replied and handed back the documents and letter of introduction.

"Can I ask where they went?" Seeing that the guard didn't answer, Zhuang Lin patiently said, "Comrade, the four of us have registered in the registration book on your desk before, and we have also been to Zhang Heping's home several times. If you don't believe me, take a look at the registration book!"

"I just called Zhang Heping's cell phone and his home phone, but no one answered. Even Director Wang, who lives next door to him, didn't answer the phone. I wonder what's going on with them?"

Tong Huizhen from the Foreign Affairs Office came over and said, "Uncle, if you don't want to tell us where Consultant Zhang is, can you tell us where Director Wang is? We can look for her."

The guard frowned, thought for a moment, then picked up the phone and dialed a number.

After a while, the guard said to Zhuang Lin and the others, "Director Wang's Secretary Liu said that you have her phone number and asked you to contact her."

Director Wang’s secretary is Liu Yuan. When Zhuang Lin went to Director Wang’s house, he exchanged mobile phone numbers with Liu Yuan.

After Zhuang Lin dialed the cell phone number and contacted Liu Yuan, she found out where Zhang Heping and his family had gone.

Shenzhen Peace Hospital, Obstetrics Department.

When Zhuang Lin found Zhang Heping, he was guarding Chen Shuting's bedside, and several adults were gathered around a crib, discussing the appearance of the baby in the cradle. Zhuang Lin saw Zhang Heping glance at her and then said nothing, knowing that it was not appropriate to talk to Zhang Heping at this time, so she found Director Wang.

After many contacts, Zhuang Lin finally understood why Director Wang did not stay in the capital to take care of his grandson, but instead moved to Shenzhen.

She failed to persuade Zhang Heping last time. After communicating with Director Wang, the Heping Group issued a clarification announcement.

This shows what?
This shows that Director Wang has a special relationship with Zhang Heping's family!
Zhuang Lin has been thinking recently that if she asks her grandparents to call and persuade Zhang Heping, maybe she will succeed.

But if she thought about it carefully, if she really did that, the relationship between their Zhuang family and the Zhang family would probably become a little weaker.

Unless the Zhang family also needs help from the banker...

When Ma Xiuzhen saw Director Wang leave, she turned to look at Chen Shuting on the bed and asked, "Shuting, have you thought of a name for the child?"

Chen Shuting felt a little weak and didn't want to talk at the moment, so she turned her head to look at her husband Zhang Heping next to her.

"Today is November 11rd, and the baby was born at 3:4 p.m." Zhang Heping muttered to himself, sliding his right thumb back and forth on the pads of his other four fingers, "September 13th, Dingmao year, Shen time, fire in the furnace, earth is strong, and water is lacking..."

Chen Shuting looked at Zhang Heping, who looked like a Feng Shui master from Hong Kong Island, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Fortunately, this mother of two gave birth naturally, otherwise the wound would have been painful!
"Master Zhang, have you figured out a good name for your little son?" Tang Xin walked over with a smile and sat at the end of the bed.

"...Avoid excessive earth and metal." Zhang Heping finished pretending to be a charlatan and said with a smile: "A single name of 'Hao' should cultivate a noble spirit."

"Zhang Hao?" Tang Xin nodded and smiled when she heard the name: "This is the first time I see my husband naming things so seriously. I feel like he's more professional than those Feng Shui masters."

"Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao..." Although Ma Xiuzhen was not well educated, she could still recognize the word "Hao", which means noble and righteous spirit.

Chen Shuting, who was lying on the bed, smiled weakly and said, "Hubby, I feel like our Hao'er will be given a nickname by his classmates!"

"That's his problem. I don't care!" Zhang Heping replied bluntly, and then laughed. He remembered that when he was in junior high school in his previous life, there was a classmate in his class nicknamed Haozi.

Ma Xiuzhen returned to the crib, looked at her sleepy grandson, and said with a smile: "Our Haoer must grow up happily and be as smart as his brothers and sisters..."

The atmosphere in the ward was warm, but Director Wang outside the ward was frowning and shaking his head.

"You don't need to tell Heping about this. Just report it to your leader directly. Even if the Magnesian people apologize publicly, the Heping Colleges in Hong Kong and Shenzhen will not be open to the Magnesian people. At most, they can enter the Heping Hospital for treatment without restrictions." After Director Wang finished speaking, he glanced at the watch on his right hand. It was obvious that he had other things to do.

Zhuang Lin said anxiously, "Aunt Wang, why don't you talk to Consultant Zhang about this first? What if he agrees?"

In order to ease the relationship between the Magnesium Lao and the Peace Group, Zhuang Lin communicated with Tom, the director of the Magnesium Embassy in Hong Kong, for more than ten days in Hong Kong Island. She finally got the Magnesium Lao to offer an apology, but she didn't expect that it didn't even pass Wang Sumei's test.

"Don't ask, Heping won't agree!" Director Wang said seriously, "Even if Heping agrees, Mr. Hua and I won't agree."

"Zhuang Lin, the four of you can't even get into the main gate of Shenzhen Peace College. Don't you think you have figured out the key?"

"Even the open Hong Kong Peace Academy has areas where non-staff members are not allowed to enter, let alone here!"

"Okay, go to the Peace Hotel and rest first, and wait for your leader's reply."

Although Zhuang Lin was unwilling, she still heard the hidden meaning of Director Wang's words. Shenzhen Peace College is a confidential unit and it is impossible to open it to the Chinese.

...

That night, the news that Chen Shuting had given birth to a son spread from the Tang family.

The next day, many Hong Kong businessmen came to Shenzhen with their wives and daughters, wanting to give gifts to the Zhang family to build closer relations, but these people did not even enter the gate of the college.

When Zhang Bei, Zhang Nan and Zhang Nian asked for leave and rushed back, there were only a few people guarding the gate of Shenzhen Peace College, and the remaining ones were all ignorant people.

"Go take a shower and change your clothes before going to meet your stepmother and younger brother!" Zhang Heping said to his three children who had just entered the living room at the stairs on the second floor, then turned back to the study and continued drawing his drawings.

Zhang Bei, Zhang Nan and Zhang Nian responded and went back to their respective bedrooms to wash up.

Although they did not study medicine, they had heard some medical knowledge from their father Zhang Heping over the years and knew that babies should not have contact with outsiders and should avoid various infectious diseases.

This is because many adults who carry the virus do not show symptoms of infection only because they have antibodies, not because they are truly clean!

"Dad! Dad?" Zhang Long, who had just run back from the laboratory, shouted all the way up to the second floor and saw his father Zhang Heping in the study.

"Dad, the 3D printer is made. When can we use it to make an ion printer?" While Zhang Long was talking, he had already come to the desk and was attracted by the drawings on the table.

After a while, Zhang Heping finished drawing another picture, and then he said to his fifth son, "Go call Xiaohu back. Have dinner at home tonight. Your brother and sister are back!"

"Oh!" Zhang Long responded subconsciously, his eyes still on the drawings on the desk.

Zhang Heping took a piece of white paper, changed to a sharpened pencil, and began to draw the next parts drawing.

It’s not that Zhang Heping doesn’t know how to draw on the computer, but after drawing on the computer, he has to print it out, which is much slower than drawing directly.

Of course, computer graphics and modeling are still necessary.

But these small things are the job of the laboratory assistants, and Zhang Heping is only responsible for supervision and inspection.

Because there was still some time before dinner, Zhang Heping did not rush his fifth son to call Xiaoliu.

As a result, when Zhang Long finished looking at the drawings one by one and came to his senses, he was shocked to find that his sixth brother Zhang Hu had stood next to him at some point and was also carefully examining the drawings on the table.

Zhang Heping put down his pencil, stood up and stretched, and asked, "Can you understand this set of drawings?"

"They all look like motors, but I think five of them aren't motors!" Zhang Long said, picking out one of the messy drawings on the table. "Dad, why are there four axes on this drawing? What is this machine used for?"

"Take it to the lab tomorrow and use the 3D printer to make it. You can discuss it among yourselves first." Zhang Heping said, and touched his sixth son Zhang Hu, who was still looking at the blueprint, with the back of his hand. "Go take a shower, change clothes, and have dinner at home."

After he finished speaking, under the reluctant gaze of Zhang Long and Zhang Hu, Zhang Heping collected all the drawings and put them into a black cylinder.

"Let's go! It's so hard to get everyone together in our family!"
