Break out of the courtyard

"No time!"

Huang Wenli met Zhang Heping on the top floor of the Peace Healthcare Research Institute. As soon as she said that the Nuclear Engineering Group wanted him to guide the construction of the nuclear power plant, she was directly rejected by Zhang Heping.

"Heping, you don't need to go on-site for guidance this time. They have sent six engineers here to ask you some questions in person!" Huang Wenli said anxiously, standing outside the glass partition of the laboratory:

"Before I brought them here, I asked them to list all the problems. Why don't you take a look first..."

Zhang Heping, who was operating the electron microscope, said impatiently: "Let them go to the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant and leave me alone!"

Huang Wenli was stunned outside the laboratory for a while, and remembered what Director Wang said to her when they talked before going to Hong Kong Island. The biggest problem now is that Zhang Heping is unwilling to respond to any technical questions from the country!

Rather than saying that the six engineers from the nuclear industry group came to ask questions, it would be better to say that this was a test of Zhang Heping from the capital.

Unfortunately, Zhang Heping refused too bluntly, leaving no room for negotiation.

However, these people did not think about the fact that the people from Taishan Nuclear Power Plant and Nuclear Power Group all had relevant experience in nuclear power plant construction and had received personal guidance from Zhang Heping before.

The people from the Nuclear Industry Group did not ask them, but instead came to ask Zhang Heping for advice. They really thought that Zhang Heping was so idle that anyone could get his guidance.

Although Huang Wenli noticed that Zhang Heping's tone was wrong, she still had to say something. "But they wrote in the agreement that they would only agree to a 51% stake in our company if they had your technical support."

"Then don't sign an agreement with them!" Zhang Heping stared at the cell activity on the screen, his tone becoming much colder. "After a year and a half of negotiations, they still haven't come to a deal. Do they really think I'm begging them to cooperate?"

"You go to the Heping Group now to handle the handover procedures. I'll ask Shu Ting to send other people to handle the Shenzhen branch of Heping Investment. You will be transferred to the Land, Sea and Air Company as vice president and learn the process of acquiring overseas companies."

Faced with the sudden dismissal, Huang Wenli was stunned again, feeling mixed emotions, wondering if Zhang Heping blamed her for not getting the Nuclear Engineering Group's project.

Zhang Heping waited for a while, but didn't hear Huang Wenli's response. He couldn't help but frowned and glanced at her, frowning and asked: "Why? Are you reluctant to give up the power of Heping Investment Shenzhen Branch?"

"I..." Huang Wenli didn't know how to answer for a moment. She wanted to say that the Nuclear Industry Group's project had not been negotiated yet, but then she remembered Zhang Heping's cold tone just now. She was afraid that if she continued talking, she would really cut off the cooperation with the Nuclear Industry Group.

"Hurry up and go through the formalities. The Sea, Land and Air Corporation is already in contact with foreign airports and ports. If you go there now, you can still catch up with their acquisition negotiations." After Zhang Heping finished speaking, he walked towards the inner laboratory.

When Huang Wenli heard the word "negotiation", she became more certain that Zhang Heping was dissatisfied with her negotiation ability and that was why he asked her to go to the Air, Land and Sea Company.

Little did she know that Zhang Heping just wanted her to gain foreign experience.

Because the Shenzhen branch of Heping Investment has nothing else to do except making payments according to the project progress, so they can just find a professional manager to handle those things.

Huang Wenli had not yet understood Zhang Heping's intention. When she went downstairs and found the six engineers from the Nuclear Engineering Group who were curiously watching the experiments behind the glass partition wall, she didn't know what to say.

Zhang Heping asked her to go and complete the handover procedures today. Such a hasty request made Huang Wenli suddenly realize that under the company system established by Zhang Heping, she didn't seem to have much to hand over.

If there is one, it is to tell the successor what projects Peace Investment Shenzhen Branch has now and who is the project leader...

Thinking about the project, Huang Wenli remembered that she had never assigned a person in charge of the project in the Nuclear Engineering Group, and she had been leading the negotiations for more than a year!

Therefore, she bears the main responsibility for the delay in negotiating the Nuclear Engineering Group project, and it is not unfair to remove her from the position of general manager!
"Mr. Huang, how is it?" The middle-aged woman in gray work clothes saw Huang Wenli coming back and asked hurriedly, "When can we see Consultant Zhang?"

Huang Wenli shook her head and planned to go to the Heping Group first, ask Chen Shuting, and then communicate with the six engineers.

"I'll take you back to the Peace Hotel to rest first. We'll talk about other things when I come back from the group headquarters." After Huang Wenli finished speaking, she walked towards the elevator door in front without waiting for the six people to respond.

The engineers from the six nuclear industry groups looked at each other and realized something was wrong. However, as they were unfamiliar with the place, they could only suppress their doubts and hurriedly followed Huang Wenli into the elevator and headed towards the Peace Hotel.

Chen Shuting was in a meeting at the Heping Group at the time. After receiving a call from Zhang Heping, she sent a secretary to pick up Huang Wenli and brought up the issue of the candidate for the general manager of the Shenzhen branch of Heping Investments for discussion at the meeting.

"Mr. Chen, do you want to inform Mr. Tang of Heping Investment Company in advance?" A middle-aged man in his forties made a rather steady suggestion.

What he meant was that Heping Investment Shenzhen Branch was a subsidiary under the name of Mr. Tang, and it would be difficult for the group to skip Heping Investment and directly appoint or dismiss the person in charge of Heping Investment Shenzhen Branch.

Chen Shuting said nonchalantly, "It's okay. This is my husband's opinion. Just recommend someone. I'll explain it to Mr. Tang when I get back."

"In addition, Huang Wenli, general manager of the Shenzhen Branch of Peace Investment, will come here to handle the handover formalities, and then go to the Land, Sea and Air Company to serve as vice president."

"So, we don't have much time left, so you better stop arguing!"

All those present were senior executives of the Peace Group. When Chen Shuting said that the general manager of the Shenzhen branch of Peace Investment was to be replaced, this group of executives were secretly screening their own capable people, thinking about who they could help to get the position, and get some hard work pay, or an oath of loyalty.

However, after hearing what Chen Shuting said, some executives were in a dilemma. They decided on the candidate for general manager of Shenzhen Branch of Heping Investment on the spot, which did not give them any chance to control their subordinates.

The investment manager glanced at everyone present, and finally looked at Chen Shuting and said, "Mr. Chen, there should be more than 400 billion magnesium yuan in the account of Heping Investment Shenzhen Branch. Should we send a few more people over to ensure the efficiency of fund use and the compliance of fund use?"

Chen Shuting recalled the organizational structure of the Shenzhen branch of Peace Investment, frowned and nodded, "Then send two more legal affairs and risk control managers."

When Huang Wenli arrived at the top floor of Heping Group, Chen Shuting had already finished the meeting and returned to her large office.

Huang Wenli blurted out to Chen Shuting all the words she hadn't finished saying to Zhang Heping just now, and in the end she couldn't help but admit her failure in the Nuclear Industry Group project.

"Okay, don't feel any psychological burden!" After all, Chen Shuting had been the CEO for so many years, and she could hear the complex emotions of Huang Wenli's unwillingness and confusion hidden in her subordinate's heart, so she comforted him:
"This time you are transferred to the Land, Sea and Air Company as the vice president. First, it is to train your abilities, just like when you first came to Hong Kong Island and rotated among the various companies under the group."

"You don't think that with your current abilities, you can be on your own!"

"No! No!" Huang Wenli hurriedly clarified: "I just don't understand why I was transferred there."

Chen Shuting continued to explain Zhang Heping's intention according to her own thoughts, "The second reason for transferring you over is because our group is preparing to expand globally!"

"In recent years, the Hong Kong Peace Vocational Training College has trained a lot of talents. Although many of them are foreign spies, they can also be used by us."

"As for the reason for the third nuclear industry group project, you are aware of it yourself, so I won't say more." "In short, you should clear out all the messy thoughts in your mind and accept new work and challenges with an empty cup mentality. Is there any problem?"

Even though Chen Shuting is a few years younger than Huang Wenli, the aura of a superior that she has accumulated over the years still made Huang Wenli stand up and make a promise to Chen Shuting.

"Mr. Chen, don't worry. After I go to the Land, Sea and Air Company, I will maintain a humble attitude and learn from my colleagues around me."

Hearing Huang Wenli say this, Chen Shuting felt relieved and thought to herself that she had finally scared the other party.

Thinking about it, Chen Shuting smiled and stretched out her left hand to press the other party, indicating that he should sit down. "Your status is different now, so you should pay attention to the way and method of learning."

"You are the vice president of our group who was parachuted in. What will the people of Hailukong think of your past intentions? Will they teach you sincerely? Will they set a trap for you and force you to leave?"

"Your previous humble learning method as a low-level employee is no longer useful. You are now a senior manager. You must learn how to manage your subordinates and deal with other senior managers who approach you with good intentions, bad intentions, or ulterior motives."

“After dealing with the internal affairs of the company, you also need to look outside, learn the business rules of this world, and expand your network of contacts.”

"Although my husband has built the stairs for you, whether you can climb higher depends on your own efforts."

"Yes!" Huang Wenli nodded heavily, indicating that she accepted Chen Shuting's teachings.

Seeing that Huang Wenli was so understanding, Chen Shuting picked up the phone and asked the secretary outside to call the candidates for the general manager, legal manager, and risk control manager of Heping Investment Shenzhen Branch, and prepare to interview them one by one in front of Huang Wenli.

Compared with the mines and metal raw materials that Tingmei Trading is acquiring, as well as the recycling stations run by renewable energy companies, the acquisition of airports and ports by Hailukong Company this time is also quite a big deal.

Although Zhang Heping had previously told people from the Bao and Tang families that he was not interested in Hutchison Group's port business, he did not say that he would not do the port business.

What's more, Hailukong Company is a listed company with considerable autonomy in its operations. Zhang Heping can completely pass the buck to the management of Hailukong Company to make the decision.

But he did not do so. Instead, he set up a plan and called people from the Bao family and the Tang family to discuss cooperation.

Currently, this cooperation project is stuck in the acquisition of Hutchison Group’s port business by Hailukong Company. Tang Yi’s second son is still alive and is making trouble. His old father Tang Ming has already gone to persuade him!
The second is the Hong Kong Island Telecommunications Company. Because Zhang Heping has been slow to sell smartphones to the outside world, foreigners are not in a hurry to build 4G communication networks.

Therefore, Hong Kong Island Telecommunications Company's plan for overseas expansion has been slow to progress.

The turning point came in mid-May when North Sudan visited the mainland. After the relations between the two sides were normalized, some people from North Sudan approached Zhang Heping to seek cooperation.

After several rounds of negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement before the typhoon landed.

The general content of the agreement is that Tingmei Trading will sell core components of smartphones to North Su, Hong Kong Island Telecommunications Company and North Su will jointly establish a smartphone production plant, jointly build a 4G communication network, and establish a joint venture communications company.

Last year, Hong Kong Island Telecommunications Company reduced its holdings of Nippon Telecom shares by 20%, recovering funds of 531 billion yuan.

Because of Zhang Heping's persistence, only 100 billion magnesium yuan was distributed as dividends last year, and there was still more than 400 billion magnesium yuan in cash flow in the account.

Even though they only received one-fifth of the profits, Peace Group still accounted for 57%, so the shareholders of Island Telecom were still very excited.

Let me ask, which company in Hong Kong Island is as powerful as Hong Kong Island Telecom, which will pay out 100 billion magnesium yuan, or 770 billion Hong Kong dollars, to shareholders as dividends at the end of the year.

It is precisely because of the dividend sample of Hong Kong Island Telecommunications that the capital increase and share expansion of the Renewable Energy Company was subscribed by so many shareholders, leaving no opportunity for the Peace Group to increase its shareholding.

Putting aside the recognition of Hong Kong Island Telecom by shareholders, the money in Hong Kong Island Telecom's account alone is enough for it to cooperate with Beisu.

However, Zhang Heping restricted Hong Kong Island Telecom's capital investment, only allowing them to invest 5 million yuan to test the waters.

His statement to the outside world was that Northern Jiangsu was publicly owned and we had to be on guard against them trying to nationalize it again.

But at home, Zhang Heping explained to Chen Shuting that the economy of Northern Jiangsu was on the brink of collapse, and it would depend on how they would reform in the future, and they had to be on guard against their collapse.

After other countries learned about the content of the agreement between North Sudan and Hong Kong Island Telecom and Tingmei Trade, they all came to seek cooperation.

When smartphones are no longer a sales monopoly and everyone can make money, this electronic product that is clearly ahead of the times will be a real treat and everyone will want to take a bite.

As for Tingmei Trade, which monopolizes core components of mobile phones, all countries have chosen to turn a blind eye temporarily.

~
The Zhang family at Victoria Peak, Hong Kong Island.

When the mainland learned that Zhang Heping sold core components such as mobile phone processors, memory, and batteries to foreign countries, taught the technology of other accessories to foreigners for production, and assembled smartphones themselves, they asked Mr. Hua and Director Wang to rush to Hong Kong Island.

Just then, when Zhang Heping and his concubine Chen Shuting returned home for dinner, they saw Mr. Hua and Director Wang who had been waiting in the living room for a long time.

"Heping, you have been planning for such a long time for that smartphone, how can you easily hand it over to foreigners for production?" Director Wang spoke first, leaving the buffer for Mr. Hua, "Do you know how much money you will lose by doing this?"

"Auntie Wang, have you forgotten that the person who is best at making money in the world right now is me!" Zhang Heping walked to the sofa and sat down with a smile.

Because recent plans were progressing smoothly, Zhang Heping's mood was much better. He no longer felt depressed like when he just came back from Shenzhen.

Director Wang saw that Zhang Heping was in a good mood, so he asked, "Then tell me, what is your intention in letting Tingmei Trading sell core mobile phone parts and letting Hong Kong Island Telecom set up a joint venture mobile phone factory?"

Zhang Heping said casually: "What else can it be, besides making money, it's just making more money."

"You're not telling the truth!" Director Wang frowned and said, "I've been wondering why you've been advertising your smartphone for more than two years, but you've only built factories to produce processors, memory, batteries and other parts, but you haven't built a mobile phone assembly plant."

"You must have had plans for this a long time ago, right?"
