Break out of the courtyard

Governor's House, Central, Hong Kong Island.

In the living room, Shen Bi talked about his resignation from his job at Zhang's house on the Peak.

Then, a guy from the Eagle Country with golden curly hair asked, "Chairman Shen is resigning. Didn't Mr. Zhang try to keep you?"

"Mr. Zhang hopes that I will hold on until the end of June next year, but I did not agree." Shen Bi responded indifferently.

Ever since Heping Group took control of Huifeng Bank, Shen Bi's treatment has been much better than when he was under Yingzi Holdings.

The key is that Zhang Heping will not interfere with his decision-making. He will only call him to communicate when problems are found during the half-year review or the year-end review.

Compared to the Governor's Office which holds meetings every other day, Shen Bi actually recognizes the Peace Group and Zhang Heping, the big boss behind the scenes, but Ying Guolun asked him to resign and retire.

Under pressure from above, Shen Bi had no choice but to compromise, after all, he was an Eagle countryman.

An Eagle countryman wearing a white long-sleeved shirt smiled at the middle-aged man sitting next to the Governor and said, "Since there is no problem with Mr. Wei taking over the position of chairman, then there should be no problem for Mr. James to take over the position of Huifeng's boss."

James, the middle-aged man next to the Governor, smiled and responded, "I was able to successfully enter Huifeng Bank as a manager this time, all thanks to your support. I will definitely report your efforts to London."

Shen Bi was angry and didn't want to say anything more. He was about to retire anyway and didn't need to worry about the intrigues here.

Boss Wei standing by was a little impatient, or perhaps he was eager to show off.

He only said: "Although Chairman Shen recommended me to Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang did not confirm in person that I would be the chairman of Huifeng."

A basin of cold water was suddenly poured in the conference room, causing all the Eagles present to fall silent. They all looked at Shen Bi, as if asking what was going on.

Shen Bi faced everyone's gazes and spoke in a calm tone, "Mr. Zhang did not express his opinion, which means he accepted my recommendation. But I think there will be some investigation on whether Mr. Wei will be chosen as the chairman of Huifeng Bank."

"Investigation?" The guy with golden curly hair asked in confusion, "What investigation?"

"It's the kind of investigation you understand!" Shen Bi said, and calmly glanced at James next to the Governor of Hong Kong.

Just as Shen Bi guessed, Zhang Heping asked the Umbrella Security Company to select personnel that night to go to Eagle Country to conduct an in-depth investigation into Wei Daban's family background.

As for James who was about to take over the position of head manager, since Shen Bi and Wei did not mention this person, Zhang Heping did not know about it and did not send anyone to investigate.

What Shen Bi did not tell the Governor and the others was that, based on his understanding of Zhang Heping, the new team leaders would most likely be selected from within Huifeng, and James, an outsider with unknown backgrounds, would not be considered, no matter how well his resume was written.

This was because Huifeng Bank held hundreds of billions of dollars in cash from the Heping Group. Given Zhang Heping's intelligence and ruthlessness, how could he not be on guard against the Eagle Country's moves?

You know, when Shen Bi and Zhang Heping cooperated to sell the little blue pills, they were squeezed out by the "Viagra" pills imitated by the Americans.

If Zhang Heping had not directly disclosed the production method of the blue pills, as well as their related efficacy and side effects, the Viagra tablets imitated by the Eagle Country would have surely been a big seller.

Unfortunately, it turned out that if you and Zhang Heping used unfair means in business, he would simply overturn the table; if you used violence against him and his family, he would directly kill you.

This person is so simple and crude!
Five days later, Shen Bi learned from Zhang Heping that Wei Daban could be considered to serve as the chairman of Huifeng Bank.

It is very common in Hong Kong for the general manager to serve as chairman. This is the case with Peace Group, where Chen Shuting serves as both chairman and general manager.

After receiving the news, Shen Bi took Mr. Wei to the top of Victoria Peak during lunch time.

After Zhang Heping's lukewarm words, Wei Daban realized belatedly that Zhang Heping had already obtained the addresses, jobs and other information of his entire family.

On the way back down the mountain, Shen Bi comforted the unhappy Wei Daban: "Don't worry too much!"

"Since Mr. Zhang has made it clear to you, as long as you don't do anything that harms his interests in the future, he will not cause you any trouble and will even give you a high reward."

Dongdu Stock Exchange, top floor VIP room.

“The share price of Peace Auto cannot be pushed down at all!”

"Shencheng Heping Automobile Factory has built three oil-electric hybrid vehicles with a range of 3 kilometers, and released a range test video and a safety test video on the World Internet Forum."

"There are many institutions waiting for Peace Auto's shares now. All the Peace Auto shares we sold have been bought up by those institutions!"

After listening to the stock trader's reply, Aso Dalang frowned and looked at those tall and strong magnesium guys.

The Eagles covet the cash flow of the Peace Group, while the Magnesiums have their eyes on the company shares released by the Peace Group.

Although the Peace Group is still against the Magnesian people and does not allow them to study at the Peace Real Estate Training College, it does not resist the Magnesian people in the capital market.

That is to say, Magnesian people or institutions in Magnesium can buy stocks of companies under the Peace Group.

As long as the Chinese control enough stocks of Peace-related companies, they can theoretically turn the tables and directly control the related Peace-related listed companies.

But there is a big prerequisite, that is, Heping Group must release enough stocks of its listed subsidiaries.

To this end, the Meiguo Lao has set its sights on the opportunity for a secondary listing in Japan for companies under the Peace Group.

It was precisely because the magnesium guys had their eyes on the stocks of the Peace Group and wanted to acquire the related stocks at a low price that they forced the Japanese to lower the valuation of the Peace Group and terminated the plan for the Japanese companies to exchange stocks with the Peace Group.

The result of this is that the Peace Group has suspended its plan for a secondary listing in Japan, and has also suspended the resumption of trading of the two technology companies, Peace Memory and Peace Precision, which are most valued by the magnesium industry!
As for Peace Wisdom Technology, which has not resumed trading, the people of Magnesium do not think there is anything good about this software company. They also have similar imitation forums, chat software, industrial software, etc. in their country.

Starting from June 6, Heping Group resumed trading of seven shell companies.

In the past 15 trading days, the share prices of these seven Heping-related listed companies have continued to rise, and their market value has long exceeded the Heping Group's previous expectations.

As it stands, the plan of the magnesium countrymen to acquire the Peace Group’s shares at a low price is temporarily unattainable.

"Our top priority is to get the Heping Group to resume its secondary listing plan in Japan, let them release more shares of the Heping-related companies, and prepare for the future acquisition of the Heping-related companies!" A magnesium expert expressed his opinion.

The Japanese people present were silent, waiting to see the joke of the Magnesian guy.

The man in charge of the stock acquisition plan frowned as he looked at the stock data on the computer monitor and said, "How can we get them to resume the plan for the secondary listing of Dongdu?"

Several experts from the Magnesium country looked at each other, and finally looked at the Japanese people standing by the wall who had come to the meeting and discussion under pressure.

Zhang Heping didn't know that the Taiwanese were influencing the decisions of the Japanese people behind the scenes, nor did he care that the Aso couple hadn't bothered him in the past few days.

As the Second Peace Prize Ceremony approaches, the list of winners of the Second Peace Prize drawn up by Zhang Heping has finally been made public online. This list of winners still reflects Zhang Heping's personal preferences and secrets.

Among them, the largest number of award-winning people were for research on genes, cells, and controlled nuclear fusion.

These winning projects seem to echo the life extension research released by Zhang Heping at the end of last year and the 12 primary controlled nuclear fusion solutions made public this year.

The reason why Zhang Heping awarded prizes to these research projects is very simple: to increase their research enthusiasm and increase foreigners' research investment in this area, thus forming a competitive situation in science and technology.

In addition, Zhang Heping also selected some domestic innovative projects in electricity and communications as a token of encouragement.

As soon as the list of winners is announced, preparations for the second Peace Prize Award Ceremony begin.

Last year, Shenzhen TV was short of people and experience, so the show was finally recorded and broadcasted by ATV and then rebroadcasted by Shenzhen TV.

This year, many foreign journalists applied to enter the second Peace Prize award ceremony for interviews, but Zhang Heping did not allow them.

First, it is for the safety of the experts and professors attending the conference!

Not to mention how strict the checks by bodyguards and guards outside the venue are, if the facial features of these experts and professors are leaked, the probability of them encountering danger in the future will increase!

The second is to solidify the Peace Prize into a geographical region so that foreigners will not think that it is an award given by their own country.

The third is to increase the popularity of Shenzhen TV and ATV.

Last year, for various reasons, Zhang Heping did not allow his children to attend the award ceremony and just let them watch it on TV.

This time, Zhang Bei and Zhang Nan, who gave up their job assignments and only took their graduation certificates, returned to Hong Kong Island as soon as possible with Zhang Nian, Zhang Yi, Chang Wen and the elderly couple Ma Xiuzhen, determined to attend the Second Peace Prize Award Ceremony.

In response, Zhang Heping asked Wei Chunqiao, the head of the Umbrella Company, to send some senior bodyguards, as well as testing equipment and black-backed wolfhounds to support Shenzhen Peace College.

The whole family was very happy at the first lunch after returning home, and the younger ones were chattering non-stop.

"Dad! Mom!" Zhang Nan suddenly looked at her father Zhang Heping and said mischievously, "Grandma suspects my brother's sexual orientation!"

Zhang Heping, Tang Xin and Chen Shuting all looked at Zhang Bei in confusion, thinking that it was another story about Zhang Bei and a girl.

Zhang Nan saw his parents looking at him, and when he was about to explain, Zhang Yi spoke first, "Third uncle, don't listen to Xiao Nan's nonsense. There is absolutely no problem with Xiao Bei's sexual orientation. At most, he is a little picky and has too many demands, haha!"

Ma Xiuzhen blamed him, "Xiao Nan, don't talk nonsense. If outsiders hear it, it will be bad for your brother's reputation."

"Hehe!" Zhang Nan said with a smile: "Grandma, I was just joking. Look, my brother doesn't care."

Zhang Heping ignored his children's teasing and was still thinking about his speech for the second Peace Prize Award Ceremony.

Before the first Peace Prize award ceremony, Zhang Heping told the experts and professors attending the ceremony about the primary research directions of quantum computers and optical brains.

This time, he wants to extend life and raise the temperature of controlled nuclear fusion.

Therefore, he plans to start from these two aspects and trick more foreigners into joining the research on life extension and controlled nuclear fusion.

It was the beginning of the month, and the group of rich wives in the Heping Real Estate wives circle had already learned from Tang Xin in advance that Zhang Bei, Zhang Nan, Zhang Nian and others were coming back.

So, not long after lunch, a rich lady came to visit with her children.

Because there were community bodyguards and security guards responsible for safety, Zhang Heping was quite tolerant of these visitors and basically did not stop them from coming in.

Unless they had previously cooperated with various companies of the Peace Group, breached the contract, and have not been forgiven by the Zhang family.

Ma Xiuzhen could see what those rich ladies who brought their children were thinking about marriage without Tang Xin and the others reminding her.

Coincidentally, Ma Xiuzhen was in the capital during this period and had been asking Zhang Bei for photos of blind date girls, hoping that her eldest grandson would find a partner as soon as possible.

As for the girl Zhang Nan, she is more lively than Zhang Bei, and has a strong opinion of her own. She knows what kind of man she wants.

On the other hand, when I asked my eldest grandson Zhang Bei what kind of things he liked, his answer was:
Both!
When Ma Xiuzhen heard this, her first reaction was Zhang Bei's female classmate Jiang Xiaomeng.

Unfortunately, they had discussed Jiang at home before, and Ma Xiuzhen knew that her eldest grandson Zhang Bei didn't like the girl's strong self-esteem.

Zhang Heping said hello and took Zhang Long and Zhang Hu to the Medical Research Institute at the foot of the mountain to conduct their own research.

Ma Xiuzhen and her relative Xu Jiefeng stood arm in arm under the shade of a tree at the edge of the plain, carefully looking at each of the girls from other families who came to visit, and whispering to each other about which one was fertile and which one was well-educated.

Chen Shuting was waiting for Zhang Nan to put on makeup and change clothes so that she could take her to the group. Otherwise, Chen Shuting would have gone down the mountain with her husband long ago.

After Tang Xin coaxed her eighth son Zhang Hao to sleep, she arranged for a nanny to look after him before heading to the mahjong game at the apartment building.

Compared with the reservedness of Ma Xiuzhen and Xu Jiefeng, the visiting wealthy ladies seemed much more direct.

Just as Tang Xin sat down and hadn't even touched the mahjong, the sixth concubine of the He family at the opposite table asked eagerly, "Ah Xin! Does your Ah Bei have a girlfriend?"

Because during lunch, the family had just talked about Zhang Bei's concept of love, and Tang Xin had been interested in it ever since.

When asked this by Mrs. He at the opposite table, Tang Xin subconsciously looked at the two girls behind the He family's sixth concubine.

"I didn't notice before, but Tingting and Xuanxuan have grown so big!" Tang Xin said with a smile, "You can go to my study room on the second floor to play! You don't have to stay here and watch us play mahjong. I know you young people like to play computer games now."

The two girls in the He family have pretty looks and are not short, so they are the type that are pleasing to the eye.

Before they came, their families told them the purpose, but whether they were willing to get married and whether they had a boyfriend was something only they knew.

When the He family's Sixth Auntie heard that Tang Xin was so direct and was just about to let the two girls go play with Zhang Bei, she couldn't help but feel happy, thinking that Tang Xin had taken a fancy to the girls from their He family, so she turned around and asked the two maids to go over quickly.

When other rich ladies saw this, some sent their children directly to the Zhang family's study on the second floor, while others brought their children over to say hello so that Tang Xin could meet them and get to know them better.

What they didn't know was that Tang Xin asked the two girls from the He family to go to the study room on the second floor just because she wanted her eldest son to have a girlfriend. As for whether it would work out in the future, she didn't think too much about it for the time being.

If Zhang Bei doesn't talk about his girlfriend, Tang Xin, as a mother, will follow Zhang Nan's joke and doubt her eldest son's sexual orientation. (End of this chapter)
