Break out of the courtyard

"Mr. Zhang, I..." When Chairman Guo heard the word "mid-term", he immediately thought of cancer and couldn't speak smoothly.

Zhang Heping patted his wrist and comforted him, "It's not a big problem. After the colonoscopy confirms the diagnosis, you can choose the proton knife surgery at Shenzhen City Hospital."

Seeing that Chairman Guo looked worried, several people nearby spoke out to comfort him.

"Old Guo, you may not believe in others, but don't you believe in Mr. Zhang's medical skills?"

"Mr. Zhang said it's not a big problem. Lao Guo, just relax and treat it as a normal cold."

"Lao Guo, if you are worried, I will accompany you to the hospital for a check-up later!"

After Chairman Guo, who was diagnosed with intestinal cancer, was pulled aside, the charter king came to sit opposite Zhang Heping, stretched out his left hand, and asked:

"Mr. Zhang, I heard that the Sea, Land and Air Company is short of funds recently. Do you think you can issue some additional shares to us?"

Zhang Heping put his hand on the left wrist of the charter king and said calmly, "We'll talk about the stock next year!"

The charter king nodded, and finally got the accurate information from Zhang Heping that he could not buy stocks of companies under the Heping Group this year.

These Hong Kong businessmen have always wanted to acquire shares in the profitable companies under the Peace Group. After the stocks of the seven Peace-related companies that were listed through shell companies resumed trading last month, they bought a lot of them.

They originally wanted to buy the original shares, but Zhang Heping and Chen Shuting refused to give in and would not explain the reason.

After hearing Zhang Heping's response today, the Hong Kong businessmen present more or less understood Zhang Heping's subtext.

Combined with the fact that Heping Group had previously planned to arrange a secondary listing for its subsidiaries in Japan, these leading Hong Kong businessmen began to think more.

Shen Bi had been there for more than half an hour, and before he had a chance to talk to Zhang Heping who was seeing a doctor, he saw the Aso couple from Rijima being led in by bodyguards.

Only after Zhang Heping sent away the Hong Kong businessmen who came to ask for medicine did Shen Bi have the opportunity to explain his purpose.

"Mr. Zhang, I came here today, originally wanting to buy some experimental drugs for delaying aging from you, but seeing that you just rejected those Hong Kong businessmen, I guess I can't get it." After Shen Bi finished speaking, his eyes were staring straight at Zhang Heping, as if expecting Zhang Heping to make an exception.

Zhang Heping nodded and said, "You just saw it. I even rejected people I know, like President He and Baochuan Wang. It's not targeting you."

"Those are experimental drugs. If you take them, you will definitely blame me if something goes wrong. If you want to crack the ingredients of those drugs, even if I give you a ton of powder, you won't be able to crack it."

Shen Bi saw that the situation was hopeless and there were Japanese people present, so he stood up, said goodbye and left.

Zhang Heping stood up and escorted them to the door of the villa, then turned back to the house, frowned at the Aso couple, and asked indifferently: "What kind of cooperation method did you two bring here today?"

Aso Dalang stood up, bowed, and said, "Zhang-san, I'm so sorry! I caused you trouble before!"

Mrs. Aso followed suit and bowed, with her head lowered to her knees.

"Okay, if you have something to say, just say it. I still have a lot of things to deal with!" Zhang Heping said, and raised his hand to pick up the silver and gold needles on the coffee table.

Aso Dalang did not dare to neglect and hurriedly explained his purpose, "Mr. Zhang, I have already convinced the six major financial groups in our Japanese island and the people of Magnesium."

"We want to resume our original cooperation with you, using shares of Japanese companies in machinery, nonferrous metals, chemicals, etc., and with you..."

"For this kind of thing, you can just go to the Heping Group to discuss it." Zhang Heping put the cloth bag containing the silver and gold needles into the medical box, turned his head to look at the Aso couple who had not yet left, frowned and asked:

"What else do you want?"

"Mr. Zhang!" Mrs. Aso said, "Can we send experts to participate in the testing of the 'Life 100' experimental drug?"

Zhang Heping showed impatience on his face. "Didn't you take a batch of experimental drugs for testing before? Why do you still need to send experts to participate?"

"Don't forget the side effects of the 'Life 100' experimental drug. It was you who discovered it through testing!"

The Aso couple had obviously anticipated Zhang Heping's refusal. Mrs. Aso said anxiously, "Mr. Zhang, can we buy a batch of 'Shouyuan 100' experimental drugs and bring them back to Ridao for retesting?"

"No!" Zhang Heping stood up and picked up the medical kit. He said impatiently to the Aso couple who also stood up, "If you continue to talk nonsense like this, just ask and answer your own questions. Don't waste my time."

"Mr. Zhang, there is one last thing!" Mrs. Aso said hurriedly, "Director Mason of the Magnesium Special Intelligence Agency wants to check the weapons and equipment currently available at your Umbrella Company, and is currently lobbying the Eagles to issue you a military production license."

"Once your military factories produce weapons, the Magnesium Guys will be able to infer the armed forces of your Umbrella Corporation from them."

Umbrella Corporation had previously intended to acquire the Eagle Country military factory, but was unsuccessful and was blocked by the Eagle Country and Magnesium Country.

At that time, Eagle Magnesium thought that Peace Group instructed Umbrella Corporation to acquire Eagle Country's military factory for the technology. Unexpectedly, Umbrella Corporation even equipped it with electromagnetic weapons and air defense systems.

"Got it!" Zhang Heping responded casually and put the medical box in the cabinet under the TV.

The Aso couple looked at each other, and then Aso Taro said goodbye and prepared to go to the Heping Group to discuss the stock swap and secondary listing cooperation that had been agreed upon previously.

As time gradually approached dinner time, Chen Shuting, Zhang Bei, Zhang Nan and others went home one after another.

The concubine Chen Shuting went straight to the study on the second floor and told Zhang Heping about the results of the negotiations with the Aso couple.

"Honey, the Japanese want to reduce our shareholding in Japanese companies, so they increased the number of Japanese companies for share exchange. This is the list of exchangeable companies they provided. Do you want to take a look?" Chen Shuting said as she spread out a stack of origami and placed it next to Zhang Heping's keyboard.

While replying to individual posts on the World Internet Forum, Zhang Heping said distractedly: "It's OK to hold more than 10% of the shares. It's mainly to make it easier for Heping to check the accounts of those Japanese companies after the audit."

"Check the accounts?" Chen Shuting thought for a moment and asked, "Husband, are you planning to take action against those Japanese companies that used loans to speculate in real estate and stocks after the Japanese economic bubble bursts?"

"Yes!" Zhang Heping nodded and said, "It would be best to find Japanese companies that are insolvent, so that we can buy them at a low price and take control of them!"

"I know what to do!" Chen Shuting said with a smile, "I'll first send someone to check the companies on this list to see which companies have large loans, hehe!"

"I'll reply to this post and then go downstairs to eat." After Zhang Heping said this, he started typing on the keyboard.

That night, news that Japan's six major financial groups were preparing to swap shares of their subsidiaries with the Peace Group spread on the Internet again.

The next day, on the morning of the 16th, the economic exchange and study delegation from the capital flew to Huadu Airport, arrived in Shenzhen at noon, and checked into the Peace Hotel.

That afternoon, a discussion meeting on the listing of companies under the Peace Group in Japan was held, during which management from China Resources and CITIC, as well as some Hong Kong businessmen were invited to attend.

At the same time, the relevant passport application for this economic exchange and study delegation has been submitted to the Hong Kong government.

The Umbrella Company has a branch in Shenzhen, and the economic exchange and study tour group was staying at the Peace Hotel. Zhang Heping learned about the personnel information of the tour group while having lunch.

As for the purpose of their visit, Chairman He, who was invited to attend the meeting, revealed it to Chairman Guo, who was admitted to Shenzhen Hospital awaiting surgery. Guo's son then told Zhang Heping the next morning.

However, when Zhang Heping learned the purpose of the economic exchange and study delegation, the delegation was already applying to the Peace Group for exchange and study, and checked into the Peace Hotel in Hong Kong Island that afternoon.

Because the delegation included teachers and dean Zhang Nan, Zhang Nian, and Chang Wen, as well as Professor Hua, Director Wang, and Liu Yuan, Zhang Heping held a welcoming banquet at the Peace Hotel.

Finally, Zhang Heping also asked President He to temporarily notify some Hong Kong businessmen to attend the meeting, as a way of repaying President He for tipping off.

After all, being able to attend a banquet organized by the richest man Zhang, not to mention how delicious the food is, just hearing a few words at the banquet may mean hundreds of millions of dollars in business.

Although it is said to be a temporary notice, which Hong Kong businessman who was notified would dare not give face to the richest man Zhang?
You know, the name Zhang Bancheng is not just for fun.

In Hong Kong today, among all the profitable listed companies, which one’s shares have not been bought and held by the Peace Group?

Therefore, although Zhang Heping held the welcoming banquet in a hurry and sent out the invitation message relatively late, there were still many people who wanted to attend the banquet.

Fortunately, the bodyguards from the Umbrella Company were responsible for security, so no outsiders were allowed to sneak in.

Professor Dai, who had agreed with Zhang Heping's annual adjustment of vegetable prices, was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, black trousers, and black leather shoes. He held a goblet filled with a little red wine in his right hand and said to Zhang Heping who came over to say hello:

"Advisor Zhang mentioned before that the price of the vegetable basket should be adjusted every year. It seems like he said it just yesterday. I still remember it clearly!"

Zhang Heping was wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt, black shorts, and a pair of brown leather sandals with exposed toes and heels. He looked very casual. When Professor Dai mentioned the past events, Zhang Heping did not respond, but just nodded and smiled.

Because Zhang Heping, Chen Shuting, Zhang Nan, Zhang Nian, and Chang Wen were all dressed casually, there was no scene where people were not allowed to enter unless they were wearing suits, or where people made fun of the mainlanders' clothes.

On the contrary, many Hong Kong businessmen followed suit. The men took off their suits, rolled up the sleeves of their white shirts, unbuttoned their collars and bow ties, and completely lost the restraint they had when attending high-end banquets in the past. They all said that this was great!
Zhang Heping drank a sip of wine with Professor Lin, Chang Wen's graduate advisor, and then kept Chang Wen with Professor Lin, acting as an interpreter for the old professor.

Although Zhang Heping does not like socializing, he took care of Zhang Nan, Zhang Nian, Chang Wen and their former teachers and deans tonight.

However, the next day, Zhang Heping went to the top floor of the Medical Research Institute as usual, leaving the inspection team to his concubine Chen Shuting to deal with.

The delegation ostensibly came to learn about and understand foreign corporate systems, but in reality they were here for the secondary listing of a company under the Peace Group in Japan.

Zhang Heping believes that this is unnecessary, because most of the people in the economic exchange and study tour group are engaged in economic theory, and their knowledge of the actual operation of foreign capital is still limited to newspapers and the Internet.

If they want to understand the underlying logic of the share swap between the Peace Group and the six major Japanese conglomerates, as well as the secondary listing in Japan, they will probably have to spend a long time in Hong Kong... (End of this chapter)
