Break out of the courtyard

Chapter 730 The Most Unretainable
Seeing that his eldest cousin and her husband remained silent, Zhang Heping looked at his second cousin Zhang Pandi and changed the subject, "Second sister, where is our dad?"

Father Zhang Bing went shopping with Zhang Pandi, Ma Lili and others early in the morning. It was almost lunch time, but he had not returned yet.

Zhang Pandi hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth to avoid having to make amends later.

"My dad heard that Zhang Xin went to the south to look for his dad, so he wanted to walk around the streets to see if he could run into them." Seeing that his third brother didn't say anything, Zhang Pandi hurriedly added, "Before we came back, we told the bodyguard Xiao Zhu to come back before 12 o'clock."

Zhang Xin is the son of his eldest cousin Zhang Cuishan and Lou Xiao'e. Zhang Heping doesn't like the father and son very much, so he didn't ask any further questions.

When they were having lunch at the Peace Hotel across the street, Lao Zhang and his bodyguard arrived late. Zhang Heping didn't say anything and pretended not to know that Lao Zhang was looking for someone.

That afternoon, father-in-law Tang Ming brought his wife and eldest son Tang Ren and his family back to Hong Kong Island, probably to reunite with his second son Tang Yi and his family.

Zhang Heping pretended to be confused and didn't ask any more questions. After seeing the Tang family off, he went shopping on the street with his wife and children in the afternoon.

The next morning, my second sister Zhang Pandi and her husband, and my eldest cousin Ma Lili and her husband, took a bus to Huadu, and then flew back to the capital, leaving their children in Shenzhen.

Ma Lili and Zhou Chengwen have not made up their minds yet and are planning to go back to find out about the situation at the factory before deciding whether to come to Shenzhen.

If Chen Shuting had said yesterday that Tingmei Clothing Company would be opened in the capital, perhaps Ma Lili and Zhou Chengwen would have agreed.

Unfortunately, there is no if, because it is difficult to find clothing OEM factories in the capital, and the subsequent transportation is also troublesome.

As soon as his two brothers-in-law left, Zhang Heping had nothing to socialize with, so he sat down in the study again and started writing the following courseware.

If it weren't for the fifth day of the Lunar New Year when people from the Hong Kong Chinese Business Association came to the Shenzhen Peace Hotel for their annual meeting, Zhang Heping probably wouldn't have gone out.

The reason why these Hong Kong businessmen came to Shenzhen to hold their annual meeting was that after the stock market crash in October last year, the Peace Group invested 10 billion magnesium yuan into the Hong Kong Island stock market, or 100 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Including those purchased previously, the total market value of stocks and shares of Hong Kong listed companies held by Peace Group has reached HK$3000 billion, accounting for about three-fifths of the total market value of Hong Kong stocks. It is not an exaggeration to call it "Zhang Bancheng".

After the annual meeting, Director Wang, Mr. Hua, Zhao Laoliu and others returned to Shenzhen one after another.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the day when the Heping Group officially returned to work, technical backbones from the Heping Diamond Factory, Heping Battery Factory, Heping Display Factory, and related supporting equipment manufacturers also came to Shenzhen Heping College, allowing Zhang Heping to start a new round of training.

On the same day, Hutchison Whampoa, Chinatrust and Eagle Telegraph Corporation jointly established Asia Satellite Corporation, with its headquarters in Hong Kong Island.

Affected by this, Hong Kong Island Telecom's share price fell for three consecutive days, a drop of 3%.

However, at the instruction of Zhang Heping, Island Telecommunications Company issued an announcement that it would gradually reduce its holdings of Nippon Telecom shares by 9% in the next 20 months, and Island Telecommunications' share price rose accordingly.

Nippon Telecom's current market value exceeds 2000 billion US dollars, making it the third largest company in Japan by market value.

It is also suppressed by Mitsubishi Estate and Sumitomo Bank, so it did not become the number one in Japan.

In addition, the largest shareholder of Japan Telecom is Hong Kong Island Telecom, which makes many Japanese people unwilling to buy Japan Telecom's shares. This is also one of the reasons that limit the rise in Japan Telecom's stock price.

Therefore, Hong Kong Island Telecom's reduction of its holdings in Japan Telecom shares can be said to be good news that both Hong Kong and Japanese stockholders are happy to hear.

Because Hong Kong stockholders have the hope of dividends, Japanese stockholders can regain control of national enterprises.

Not long after mother Ma Xiuzhen and Lao Zhang took the children back home, news came from their home in the capital that the housing privatization reform had begun!

The courtyard houses that originally belonged to work units and neighborhood committees began to be returned to their original owners, or houses with clear property rights were sold to existing tenants.

For this reason, mother Ma Xiuzhen had the idea of ​​buying a courtyard house again.

But Zhang Heping poured cold water on her and asked her to ask whether the current courtyard house could be demolished and rebuilt.

The result is predictable. In order to protect cultural relics, the capital's courtyard houses are no longer allowed to be demolished and rebuilt, and can only be repaired on the original basis.

Even so, Ma Xiuzhen still went to ask about the courtyard houses near Houhai and let many people know that she wanted to buy one.

Time flies. On the day of the March 3th Naval Battle, Zhang Heping completed the training of technical backbones of the Heping Diamond Factory, Heping Battery Factory, Heping Display Factory and supporting equipment production factory.

Afterwards, Zhang Heping invested in the production and research and development of the Heping Optical Card Factory, Precision Instrument Factory, Monitoring Equipment Factory, and Materials Factory. He would also go to the Dapeng Peninsula from time to time to check on the progress of the projects.

By the way, after the experts and professors of Shenzhen Peace College went back for the Chinese New Year, they only brought Zhang Heping three professors who resigned and started their own businesses, which was far from what Zhang Heping expected.

However, Zhang Heping believes that as the reform and opening-up continues and as the number of college students increases, the employment problem will improve year by year.

While Zhang Heping was busy in the factory, Tang Xin and Chen Shuting were not idle either.

These two women took care of the children while handling the affairs of the Heping Group.

With the popularity of Durex brand Chameleon condoms, sales of other products of Tingmei Trading have gradually returned to normal.

Just as Zhang Heping said, whether the Chinese buy it or not will not have much impact on the products of Heping Group.

What really affects the sales of Peace Group's products are always those distributors who can never be satisfied.

Those distributors wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the increase in tariffs by the US government to force Tingmei Trading to lower its wholesale prices.

As a result, Boss Zhang, who has no shortage of money, would rather sell less or not sell at all and terminate the contracts with those troublesome distributors.

Now, a group of large distributors have fallen, and a new group of small distributors have gradually emerged, selling Tingmei Trading's products all over the world.

The reason why Zhang Heping has the confidence to ignore those distributors with wider sales channels is that the effects of his own tiger penis wine, Viagra delay spray, Tingmei slimming tea, Taitai oral liquid and Dior daily chemical products are obvious!

The relevant instructions say a certain number of minutes or days for the product to take effect, and that’s how long it will take to take effect. This is something other similar competing products cannot do!

The key is that other countries cannot sue Tingmei Trading Company for monopoly because there are many similar products on the market, but the efficacy of those products is very poor and they have little competitiveness.

Of course, some counterfeit products do have some therapeutic effects.

For example, tiger penis wine that is not diluted with much water, Viagra delay spray, and wife oral liquid.

As for the high hardware configuration of Heping brand computers and servers, some Chinese people sued Tingmei Trading for technological monopoly, but they were all blocked by Heping Law Firm.

The refusal tactics of Heping Law Firm are very simple. They want the five largest investment banks in the country to pay 5 million magnesium yuan in liquidated damages first, otherwise the court of the country of magnesium has no right to interfere with any business behavior of Heping Group. Even if the five largest investment banks in the country of magnesium really pay the liquidated damages, Heping Law Firm still has a tactics in mind.

Just like the packaging of those Heping brand medical devices, there is a sentence printed on it: the relevant products are only sold in Hong Kong Island. Our company does not assume any responsibility arising from external transportation or resale, nor does it provide after-sales service outside the island!
If a customer looks closely at the packaging, he will see the following sentence on the other side of the paper: Our company promises that if any product problems occur within 3 years, we will only replace it and not repair it!
As for who should pay for the shipping costs incurred for after-sales exchanges, we need to look at the two sentences together.

Firstly, the relevant medical devices must be in Hong Kong Island to enjoy after-sales service.

Secondly, the customer has to send the product in for exchange.

Since the equipment is in Hong Kong Island and has been sent here by the customer, we would just ask the customer to take the new equipment away. There is no shipping fee to be charged.

As for Heping brand cars, Tingmei Trading did not manage the sales there and left the operation entirely to the management of Heping Automobile Company.

However, affected by the last battery problem, Heping Auto's sales have declined sharply.

Of course, this is also due to the increased production of electric vehicles abroad.

After all, electric cars were first invented by foreigners. If it weren't for the limitations of battery life, Peace Car would not be so competitive.

As for the first wife Tang Xin, she is currently communicating with Shenzhen City regarding the subsequent land transfer.

The piece of land that was auctioned on December 12 last year was named the Heping Community Development Project. The houses in the community have been subscribed by the employees of the Heping Group in Shenzhen on a priority basis, and none of them have been sold.

...

On April 4, under the chairmanship of Zhang Heping, the hydrogen-oxygen rotating detonation engine 2D printed in the underground base laboratory of Shenzhen Peace College was ignited and tested for 3 seconds at the rocket manufacturing plant test site on the Dapeng Peninsula!
The key point is that after the test run, all components of the hydrogen-oxygen rotating detonation engine were intact!
Under the strict confidentiality required by Zhang Heping, on April 4, Mr. Hua finally sent a group of experts and assistants to the rocket launch site and rocket manufacturing plant on Dapeng Peninsula.

A few days later, a communication and study group was sent over, most of whom were engineers from the aerospace group.

Zhang Heping is not opposed to this. The more technical personnel come, the more convenient it will be for him to do his work.

Just when Zhang Heping was organizing people to build a stainless steel rocket, the Hainan Special Economic Zone was established, and the top leader was the first secretary of Shenzhen City.

After the old secretary took office, he immediately contacted Director Wang, with whom he had dealt many times before, and then met with Tang Xin and Chen Shuting, hoping that the Heping Group could invest in Hainan.

Not long after, Heping Real Estate Co., Ltd. established a wholly foreign-owned company in Haicheng: Heping Real Estate Co., Ltd.

At this point, Heping Group truly started its real estate business in the mainland.

After Zhang Heping learned about this, he took the time to draw a set of design drawings for Peace Plaza, which, like the Wanda Plaza in his previous life, integrates leisure, entertainment, shopping and home living.

Subsequently, Heping Group allocated 50 billion magnesium yuan as the initial start-up capital for Heping Real Estate.

As soon as the news came out, not only Hong Kong businessmen began to pay attention to Haicheng, but many people with ideas in the country also set their sights on the impoverished Haicheng.

With the vigorous publicity of the old secretary and the quick acquisition of a piece of land by Heping Real Estate, the company’s first real estate project was launched: Peace Plaza!
The flow of foreign population attracted by Haicheng suddenly exceeded that of Hangzhou, Nanjing and Shenyang, which were only opened at the beginning of the year!
The reason why Haicheng was able to attract so many people was that, firstly, it had learned from the experience of Shenzhen and downplayed the importance of food stamps as much as possible; secondly, it did not check letters of introduction.

Even so, Haicheng still faces a big problem: inconvenient transportation!
Afterwards, the old secretary came to Shenzhen again to pay a visit. With Chen Shuting's mediation, the Hailukong Company agreed to invest in the construction of highways from Haicheng to Wucheng, Haicheng to Huadu, and a highway around Hainan Island, on the condition that the old secretary would be responsible for all the procedures and contact the construction party in the mainland.

The old secretary was happy to see the cooperation style of the Land, Sea and Air Company, which was a hands-off approach where the company only paid money and waited for dividends, as it saved him a lot of trouble.

In addition, Hailukong Company previously invested 16.5 billion yuan to build expressways between Huadu and Zhuhai, and Huadu and Shenzhen.

It was much easier for the old secretary to apply to his higher authorities.

Subsequently, Hai Lu Kong Company launched a capital increase and share expansion in Hong Kong Island. Those shareholders and institutions did not give Heping Group the opportunity to increase their holdings of Hai Lu Kong Company's shares. The HK$3 billion quota was subscribed in less than 33 days, causing Heping Group's shareholding in Hai Lu Kong Company to be reduced by 5%.

According to the current exchange rate, 33 billion Hong Kong dollars can be exchanged for 4.17 million magnesium dollars, which is then converted into RMB as 15.45 billion.

The total construction cost of the three expressways is 3 billion RMB. This is the price quoted by the old secretary to the construction party.

This price seems to be much cheaper than the two highways between Zhuhai, Huadu and Shenzhen, because the three highways on the Haicheng side have fewer bridges!
As North Sudan withdrew its troops from the Afghan region, the hydrogen-oxygen rotating detonation engine on the Dapeng Peninsula underwent a total of eight test runs.

In addition, under the leadership of Zhang Heping, a black rocket with stainless steel as the main body and thermal insulation material on the outside has taken shape.

The six small satellites made at the Precision Instrument Factory were also sent to the rocket manufacturing plant on the Dapeng Peninsula, waiting to be transported to the rocket launch site for assembly.

According to Zhang Heping's plan, he originally wanted to build an underwater launch platform and push it into the sea for launch.

But Mr. Hua and his men installed two air defense systems at the north and south ends of the Dapeng Peninsula, allowing Zhang Heping to test launch the rocket at the rocket launch site on the Dapeng Peninsula.

Mr. Hua's original words at the time were, go ahead and try, even if you fail, there is an air defense system to back you up and prevent the rockets from falling into the city.

Zhang Heping really wanted to say that there are many ways for a rocket to fail, and the most dangerous one is to explode on the spot.

However, Zhang Heping was still very confident in himself. After all, he supervised the entire process of building this first rocket.

The only way to make this rocket fail is if there is something wrong with Zhang Heping’s learning plug-in.

No matter how busy Zhang Heping is, there are still many people who care about him.

For example, Ping An Insurance, which held its opening ceremony on May 5, visited Shenzhen Peace College in Nanshan next door many times to invite Zhang Heping.

But in the end, the only person who went to watch the ceremony and cut the ribbon was Mr. Chen from the Peace Group.

In other words, Chen Shuting didn't know what they were thinking, otherwise she would have swung a pair of scissors at them.

You have to know that our General Manager Chen is the legal representative of the Heping Group. Without General Manager Chen's signature, even the richest man Zhang cannot transfer a penny from the Heping Group.

Time quietly came to June 6st. Zhang Heping took time out to attend the Children's Day activities at his seventh daughter Zhang Nuo's school. He brought a simple water rocket that he and Zhang Nuo made together and set it off in the school.

After this day, time seemed to speed up again.

If Zhang Heping had not insisted on going home to eat and sleep every day, and if more and more experts had not been sent by the Aerospace Corporation to assist in building rockets, Zhang Heping would probably have forgotten the existence of time.

Until the day came, July 1988, 7...
