Break out of the courtyard

After Zhang Heping proposed to build a Heping Automobile Branch in Shenyang to produce hybrid electric vehicles with a range of 2000 kilometers, not only did the Shenyang government discuss countermeasures overnight, but related meetings were also urgently held in Shenzhen and Ridaodong.

At the meeting in Shenzhen, Sha Zhixiang told Director Wang about the hybrid car. Director Wang reported to Mr. Hua, who then called Shenyang to communicate. Only then did he hold a communication meeting at the Heping Automobile Factory overnight, hoping to recruit personnel as soon as possible to set up a branch factory in Shenyang.

As for Dongdu, it was Chen Shuting who asked her subordinates at the Peace Group to notify the other directors of the Peace Automobile Company and ask them if they were willing to contribute money to jointly develop a hybrid vehicle with a range of 2000 kilometers.

The key point is that Chen Shuting asked the board of directors of Peace Automobile Company to give a reply before 9 o'clock tomorrow night, otherwise she would not take them out to play.

This is equivalent to giving them only 24 hours to consider, which makes the foreign directors anxious.

The next morning, news of a hybrid car with a range of 2000 kilometers spread throughout the mainland's industrial system.

Because people from the Shen family contacted many factories last night, asking them if they were willing to process automobile engines, gearboxes, motors, axles and other parts, and then they talked about hybrid vehicles.

Then, some people demanded a ban on the production of that type of hybrid car under the guise of protecting other domestic electric car manufacturers.

It is obviously impossible to ban this kind of long-range, low-fuel-consumption car that can grab Japan's automobile foreign trade market share.

Even if the mainland does not allow the production of this type of hybrid vehicle, can't the Heping Group produce it abroad?
For this reason, under the insistence of Mr. Hua, Mr. Li and others, certain dissenting voices were suppressed.

The Japanese people on the board of directors of Peace Automobile Company relied on their wealth and decided at 10 a.m. to make that kind of hybrid car, but they wanted to take the opportunity to increase their holdings in Peace Automobile Company.

As Zhang Heping's bedmate, Chen Shuting naturally knew that Zhang Heping wanted to wait for the Japanese stock market to plummet, then privatize Heping Automobile Company at a low price and delist it from the Japanese stock market.

Therefore, when Chen Shuting could not contact Zhang Heping, she briefly discussed the matter with Tang Xin and agreed to the Japanese's request. She then proposed a technology licensing fee of up to 10 billion magnesium yuan a year and required that the branch factory could only be built in the Shenyang Economic and Technological Development Zone.

Such high technology licensing fees directly discouraged those Japanese people who wanted to reduce the shareholding ratio of Heping Group in Heping Automobile Company by increasing capital and expanding shares!

A few years ago, Japanese cars were restricted by the magnesium country.

In recent years, Nissan Motor has lost a lot of market share to electric vehicles.

Chen Shuting was not worried at all that the Japanese would not agree. At worst, she could let Tingmei Trading invest in building a factory in Shenyang. Anyway, her own hybrid vehicle technology was free for her own use, which was a huge advantage!

After Zhang Heping arrived at Huludao Shipyard, he first inspected the underwater rocket launch platform that was built according to his drawings.

Then, I discussed with the engineers here the feasibility of installing the Eye of God defense system on the submarine.

For this purpose, some military experts who were researching the Pigeon Eye air defense system were sent to cooperate.

Zhang Heping was busy here for two weeks. He watched the underwater rocket launch platform and underwater submarine successfully launch a carrier rocket each on the high seas, and then he was sent to Dapeng Peninsula by ship.

The underwater rocket launch platform that had been used once was towed to the Pengpeng Peninsula and was to be used to test rocket recovery.

Because Peace Aerospace Company has sufficient staff, Zhang Heping did not interfere with the test and allowed them to accumulate experience through trial and error. Stainless steel rockets are not expensive anyway. It's just that the production of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen consumes too much electricity, which is still a problem at present.

Zhang Heping didn't want to get involved in things here, but the head of Heping Aerospace Company reported to him, so he had to pretend to listen carefully.

Only by giving your subordinates enough emotional value can they have better execution ability when they do things in the future.

To Zhang Heping's surprise, when he arrived at the monitoring hall of Heping Aerospace Company, he actually found the figures of Zhang Cuishan and his son Zhang Xin among a bunch of surveillance screens.

In response, Zhang Heping just glanced at the number of days they had persisted and ignored the matter.

The father and son have been living in a small, enclosed space for 85 days, and the three-month probation period is not far away.

Although Zhang Heping hates these two people, he will not care about such trivial matters. After all, he is a big capitalist worth hundreds of billions and his perspective is different.

In addition, if they can pass the assessment, they will be sent to the northwest desert to participate in the alien base simulation experiment there, so that Lao Zhang will not meet them in Shenzhen.

Old Zhang used his private money to support Zhang Cuishan and Zhang Xin, and Zhang Heping turned a blind eye.

It would be quite uncomfortable if Old Zhang made a mistake and brought Zhang Cuishan and Zhang Xin to Zhang Heping's house.

Zhang Heping returned home and learned from Chen Shuting that the Heping Automobile Branch in Shencheng had already started construction.

"Those Japanese are quite smart. They would rather increase their capital by 1.3 trillion yen and spend 85 billion yen a year to buy our hybrid vehicle technology licenses, than to reduce our shareholding in Heping Automobile Company!" Chen Shuting was talking about the company while arranging the newspapers on the coffee table for Zhang Heping.

Zhang Heping took the apple peeled by his wife and said casually, "They want to compete for more say in Heping Automobile Company. Let them do whatever they want. We just need to master the technology."

Chen Shuting smiled and said, "Honey, there is one more thing. A Japanese automaker wants to build a factory in Shenyang Economic and Technological Development Zone to process parts for hybrid cars. Do you think we should let them bid?"

"Let Mr. Hua and the others decide on this matter. We will just provide the technology and collect the money." Zhang Heping took the apple and let his youngest son Zhang Hao lick it, then smiled and said:

"Let the people below take care of that branch factory. I will get the technical data of the hybrid car out later."

The first wife Tang Xin said: "Husband, you just came back, take a rest, it won't be too late to do it tomorrow."

Zhang Heping took a bite of the apple and said helplessly, "The day after tomorrow is National Day, so I may not have time tomorrow."

As soon as he finished speaking, Secretary Chen of Mr. Hua came to visit the Zhang family and said that Mr. Hua invited Zhang Heping to go to the capital to attend a meeting tomorrow.

Zhang Heping agreed to the meeting without asking what it was about, because it had been reported in the capital's newspapers that the prices of mainland commodities would be regulated and rectified next.

So, he guessed that the reason he was asked to go to the capital as a consultant was for a meeting on economic issues.

After seeing off Secretary Chen, Chen Shuting talked about the construction of airports in Shenzhen and Haicheng by the Hailukong Company, as well as the auction of 200 Shenzhen taxi license plates at the Shenzhen City Hall yesterday.

When Zhang Heping saw the news in the newspaper that Taiwan's stock market had plummeted for two consecutive days, he got up and went to the study on the second floor.

Then, he checked the various fund accounts of Peace Investment Company through the background data of Peace Financial Software and confirmed that the fund managers had already withdrawn from the Taiwan stock market in advance as he requested. Only then did he close the software with satisfaction.

For a company, especially a large group, excellent management talents are important, but subordinates who obey his orders are what Zhang Heping wants most. He does not need his subordinates to be excellent, as long as they can execute according to his requirements and run the company.

As for ways to make money, he has many of them, but due to many restrictions, he can't use money to make money.

That night, after Zhang Heping finished working on the technical data of the hybrid vehicle, he called Sha Zhixiang over for a midnight snack and finally handed the data to him to take away.

Zhao Jianguo looked at Sha Zhixiang who was driving away and said with some concern: "I heard recently that many foreigners are eyeing the hybrid car information. The international reward price has been raised to 5 million magnesium yuan. If you are going back to Hong Kong Island recently, bring more bodyguards."

"Thank you for your concern!" Zhang Heping turned around and said with a smile, "I have to go to the capital for a meeting tomorrow. Please keep an eye on this for me."

Zhao Jianguo responded, and he and Zhang Heping went back to their respective homes to accompany their wives.

Zhao Laoliu's wife hasn't gotten pregnant yet. Zhang Heping just checked their pulses and found nothing abnormal. He could only ask them to try harder according to their ovulation period every month.

Zhang Heping, who had not been close to women for a long time, talked with the two women for a long time before falling into a deep sleep.

The next day, on the afternoon of the 30th, Zhang Heping took his two clingy wives, fourth daughter Zhang Feng, seventh daughter Zhang Nuo, youngest son Zhang Hao, and a team of bodyguards to Huadu to fly back to the capital.

Zhang Long and Zhang Hu felt that it was not fun to go to the capital, so they stayed in Shenzhen Peace College and continued to work as assistants in the underground base and learn from those experts.

Because there was a team of bodyguards left in Shenzhen Peace College and there were so many guards around, Zhang Heping didn't have to worry about their safety.

After Zhang Heping and his party arrived at the Capital Airport, they wanted to take a taxi back, but the guards at No. 5 Wanshou Road received the news in advance and drove five cars to pick them up.

The car started, and the guard captain sitting in the co-pilot seat turned his head to look at Zhang Heping in the back seat and asked, "Advisor Zhang, the TV station is having a National Day Gala tonight. Do you want to take your family to watch it?"

Zhang Heping said casually, "Forget it. It's a rare trip back home. Let's stay at home and watch TV tonight. Send a car to take me to the venue tomorrow."

"Okay!" The guard captain responded, and then said, "The meeting will start at 3 pm tomorrow. We will send a car over at 1 pm. It will take about 45 minutes to get to the venue."

Zhang Heping nodded, agreeing to the arrangement.

As for what time we set off, that depends on Zhang Heping's arrangements for tomorrow. Anyway, the guards have reserved two hours.

When mother Ma Xiuzhen received the news early in the morning that Zhang Heping was going to bring his wife and children back, she called Chen Liqin, Ma Lili, and her two nieces-in-law to go out and buy vegetables and meat.

In addition, college students such as Zhang Bei and Zhang Yi will have National Day holiday and will come back in the afternoon, so today's dinner is very sumptuous.

When Zhang Heping and his people returned home, he saw his mother Ma Xiuzhen and Aunt Chen busy at the stove.

When Ma Xiuzhen saw Zhang Heping and his party coming back, she greeted them with joy at first. But after seeing a group of black-clad bodyguards following in, she started to wonder in her heart that dinner was not prepared enough and there were not enough tables, chairs and benches.

Fortunately, after Zhang Heping asked the bodyguards to put down their luggage, he let the bodyguards go out and asked them to take a car to the Capital Hotel to stay, and also entertain the guards who came to pick them up at the airport.

"Brother Heping!" Zhou Chengwu, the second son of the Zhou family, came over to say hello after seeing Zhang Heping send the bodyguards away.

Zhang Heping turned around and nodded to Zhou Laoer, then glanced at the customers in the shops on both sides of the gate and asked casually, "Prices have risen recently. Has your business been affected?"

"The impact is huge!" Zhou Chengwu said slightly exaggeratedly: "Whether it is fabric or finished clothes, the purchase price has increased by more than 20%."

Zhang Heping smiled calmly: "The wool comes from the sheep. If the purchase price goes up, the price of the goods you sell will naturally go up as well."

Zhou Chengwu also laughed and said, "You don't know, when the price of my clothes first increased, many people scolded me for being a profiteer. As a result, all the goods on the market are increasing in price, but the goods in Uncle Zhang's, my store, and my sister-in-law's store have increased the least."

Zhang Heping chatted with Zhou Chengwu for a while at the door, wanting to understand the changes in the capital's business life and make some preparations for tomorrow's meeting.

As it got dark, the eldest sister Zhang Zhaodi drove back with her eldest brother-in-law Chang Sheng and second brother-in-law Zhang Yong. She called Zhang Heping, who was chatting outside the door, and went back to the yard together.

Following them came Zhang Bei, Zhang Nan, Zhang Yi and their classmates and employees.

Since my second sister Zhang Pandidi was promoted to director in July, she has been coming home later and later. Today was no exception. She didn't drive back until 7 o'clock in the evening.

Zhang Heping was originally asking his eldest cousin Ma Lili and his eldest cousin's husband Zhou Chengwen about the situation in the factory where they worked, to test whether they had decided to go to Shenzhen.

When his second sister Zhang Pandi returned, Zhang Heping handed the matter of Ma Lili and her husband over to his concubine Chen Shuting.

Zhang Heping went downstairs to the dining table and sat down. Looking at his second sister wolfing down her food, he said, "If you eat so late for a long time, you'll get stomach problems. You'd better leave some snacks at work or in the car so you can fill your stomach when you miss dinner."

"Hmm!" Zhang Pandi swallowed hard and said with some resentment, "How dare you say that? We've been so busy lately because of your Eye of God defense system!"

Zhang Heping was happy. "This is none of my business. My company is not selling the defense system, and I didn't make a penny. You guys are earning foreign exchange for the country!"

"Tsk!" Zhang Pandi took another bite of food and said vaguely: "Outsiders don't know, so why can't I ask?"

"Xiaobei and Xiaonan told me that the defense system was built by you in Shencheng!"

"It's a secret, don't talk about it!" Zhang Heping pushed the bowl of soup in front of his second sister with a smile.

After taking a sip of the soup, Zhang Pandi asked in confusion, "Why did you suddenly come back today?"

Zhang Heping replied casually: "There is a meeting tomorrow afternoon, and they didn't tell me what the meeting is. They are so mysterious!"

"No. 13 Middle School just finished its meeting tomorrow afternoon..." Zhang Pandi thought for a moment and said, "A lot of scientific and technological workers have come recently. I guess it has something to do with science and technology!"

"Oh?" Zhang Heping smiled. "I thought it was an economic meeting. Do you know which experts from which fields are here?"
