Break out of the courtyard

Chapter 877 Transferring the Suspect

Zhuhai, Computer Industrial Park.

"Our park's annual computer production has now increased to 300 million units!" Director Tu, the park's director, walked beside the inspection team and said in a loud voice, "Last year, we shipped 240 million units, achieving a net profit of 5 million yuan!"

"We plan to add more sales staff this year and strive to achieve a profit of 6 million magnesium yuan!"

With a foreign exchange earnings of 5 million magnesium yuan, it is no longer among the top factories in China.

But when Director Tu took over the Zhuhai Computer Industrial Park, the Heping Group had just terminated its contract with them and their future looked bleak.

Director Tu believed that he was the savior of the entire industrial park and that he had turned the tide, so his words were full of confidence.

Mr. Zheng did not comment on this, even though he had been to the Nandian Mobile Phone Factory and the Telecom Mobile Phone Factory before and knew that their mobile phone processors, memory, and hard drives were better than the computer hardware in the Zhuhai Computer Industrial Park.

However, just because Mr. Zheng didn't express his opinion doesn't mean other members of the inspection team won't ask.

"Have your technicians researched quantum computers, brain-like computers, and optical computers?" A young man in the inspection team spoke loudly. Although he was not asking Director Tu at the front of the group, everyone in the visiting group heard it.

The technician who was asked was speechless, and the accompanying staff didn't know how to respond, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward for a while.

After walking a little further, the Zhuhai representative was the first to break the silence. "Actually, our Computer Industrial Park doesn't have the R&D capabilities in this area. The existing technologies are all those previously licensed from the Peace Group."

"When we cooperated with Heping Group before, even though the annual output was only 60 units, the net profit was 12 billion magnesium yuan." When the Zhuhai person in charge said this, he glanced at Director Tu as if unintentionally, as if warning the other party to keep a low profile.

"Later, for various reasons, the Peace Group stopped cooperating with us. The Computer Industrial Park actually also had plans to develop new products." The Zhuhai representative continued:

"But the Peace Group's research and development in the semiconductor field is incredibly fast. The 28-nanometer chip they announced for official production the day before yesterday is so advanced that not only can our technicians not keep up, but even developed countries like Magnesium are completely baffled by the technology involved. They have no idea how they achieve such precision!"

"You haven't sent anyone to Peace College to learn this technology?" Mr. Zheng's daughter asked. "I heard that several chip manufacturers in China have sent their technical backbones to Peace College to study, and they are also trying to recruit their students who haven't graduated yet."

The Zhuhai person in charge did not answer this question, but turned to look at Director Tu of the park.

Being stared at like that, Director Tu said sheepishly, "We also sent a technical backbone, but the Peace College said..."

At this point, Director Tu looked at the Zhuhai person in charge with some embarrassment, as if asking, are you sure you want me to say it?

The Zhuhai representative looked toward the computer assembly line nearby. Director Tu had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "They said that our industrial park's products are all exported overseas and don't meet their recruitment standards."

Director Tu spoke vaguely, and was thinking about how to explain it if someone asked him about it, but he didn't hear anyone asking about it again.

When the inspection team was staying at Shenzhen Peace College, they actually dispersed to question people on campus.

Some people learned that Zhang Heping did not block the 28-nanometer chip manufacturing technology from domestic factories, but encouraged them to purchase related equipment and produce this chip together.

However, there is a big premise here, the domestic sales of the relevant factories in previous years must be greater than 50%!

As for his intention, Hua Lao explained before, it was that Zhang Heping wanted to increase the number of computer installations in China, just like he asked Nan Dian Mobile Phone Factory and Telecom Mobile Phone Factory to lower the price of mobile phones in China.

Therefore, since the inspection team did not hear Director Tu tell the truth, they were in no mood to listen to his nonsense anymore.

With an annual profit of 5 million magnesium yuan, he can't even compare with the Banna condom manufacturer downstream of the Heping Sex Toy Company. I don't know where he gets his confidence from.

In particular, they don't even have core technology and are still producing 1G memory and 2.5GHZ dual-core processors from a few years ago.

Don’t they know that today’s smartphones have 4GB of memory and quad-core processors?
Do not!
They all know it, they just don't want to step out of their comfort zone.

Even though they can still export and earn foreign exchange now, in a few years, when other factories use 28-nanometer chips, the Zhuhai Computer Industrial Park will become a burden like many factories in the mainland!

Just after the inspection team left the computer industrial park, the Zhuhai official revealed why he revealed that the computer industrial park was not as good as before.

He wanted to ask Mr. Zheng to help mediate and let the industrial park here join the 28-nanometer chip learning team.

However, when Mr. Zheng’s daughter asked how many computers the Zhuhai Computer Industrial Park had sold to the domestic market last year, the Zhuhai person in charge had no choice but to say one word: zero!

Shenzhen Peace University's requirement is more than 50%, but the Zhuhai Computer Industrial Park didn't leave even a single computer for domestic use. All of them were exported to earn foreign exchange and improve performance. How can Mr. Zheng help them to get together?
My country and I cannot be separated for even a moment...

The cell phone rang, breaking the brief silence in the car.

"Hello?" Mr. Zheng's daughter raised her cell phone, listened for a while, and then frowned.

Shenzhen Peace College, Villa No. 1.

Zhang Heping had just returned with his elder sister Zhang Zhaodi and her entourage, and before they had even had lunch, they saw Old Hua blocking the doorway.

"There's something I wanted to tell you after you've rested for a few more days," Old Hua said with a hint of helplessness as he looked at Zhang Heping approaching. "Suzuki Yuriko's father has arrived. He's currently kneeling at the intersection of the academy road, carrying a bundle of thorns on his back, begging for forgiveness."

"Mr. Zheng just called us and told us to be careful with our methods!"

Zhang Heping was severely burned. If he hadn't been a hacker, he would have died in the explosion.

Therefore, it is impossible for the former mayor Suzuki to let them off easily just because of his arrival.

"Would you like to meet the Aso couple when you have some free time?" Old Hua asked tentatively. "After they told you that Mitsui Sho's real name is Yamamoto Sho, they kept saying they wanted to meet you so they could explain the reason to you in person."

It’s better not to hear the reason!

Because when Zhang Heping heard the surname "Yamamoto", he thought of many past events.

"Xiaochun!" Zhang Heping didn't answer, but walked towards the living room. "Have the photographers and assistants sent by CCTV gone home yet?"

"Not yet!" Zhou Xiaochun put down the dumplings he had just wrapped, walked out of the restaurant, and asked doubtfully, "Cousin, do you want to see them?"

"It's New Year's Eve, and keeping you here while keeping them out isn't a good idea." Zhang Heping walked over to the sofa and leaned back, looking a little tired. "Call them and ask them to come with you to interview the former mayor Suzuki, who apologized for his crime at the intersection."

Old Hua frowned and said, "Heping, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Zhang Heping casually said, "If you hand those suspects over to the Shenzhen City Bureau, there will be nothing wrong with that!"

These words were spoken lightly, but Old Hua couldn't help but frown and ponder Zhang Heping's intentions.

Hand over those five Japanese islanders to the Shenzhen Municipal Bureau. If someone lets them go easily, not only will it be difficult for Zhang Heping to explain himself, but the Heping Group’s investment in Shenzhen will probably be unstable!
Therefore, Hua Lao felt that this was Zhang Heping's test of Shenzhen, to see if Shenzhen could withstand the pressure from certain people. After all, after the Japanese embassy demanded the return of the prisoners on the night of the incident, some people in the capital echoed this sentiment, urging Shenzhen to pay attention to the friendly relations between the two countries.

What those people didn't expect was that the people who detained the Magnesium agent and the five Japanese people were actually the guards of the Peace Academy, and outsiders could not interfere!
Old Hua thought for a moment and said, "You should rest well first. Those involved in the case will all receive the punishment they deserve under the law!"

After speaking, Mr. Hua nodded to the Zhang family and then went out to make a phone call.

After seeing Mr. Hua leave quickly, Zhou Xiaochun said, "Uncle, my colleagues are at the intersection right now. Should I go out and interview them?"

"Is there anything you want to ask him? Or anything you want to tell him?"

"Nothing much to say. Just follow up and report on the handling of the suspects." Zhang Heping said casually, "Bring some bread for your colleague. I'll have my bodyguard drive you."

"When you're done, invite them over and have a New Year's Eve dinner together."

The inspection team, which had no plans to go home for the Spring Festival, originally planned to go to Huadu on the afternoon of New Year's Eve to experience the New Year atmosphere there and understand the local consumption capacity.

It may be difficult to understand the economic level of a provincial capital city at ordinary times, but during major festivals such as the Spring Festival, we can get some clues from the flow of people and consumption.

At the same time, it will also magnify the dark side of the city that is not normally seen.

Just before noon, Mr. Zheng said he wanted to take a rest in Zhuhai and postponed his trip to Huadu.

So, after lunch, the inspection team returned to the guesthouse and prepared to take a nap.

However, before everyone returned to the room, Mr. Zheng received a call from Shenzhen.

"Those people have been handed over to the National Security Bureau and taken away!" Hua Lao's voice came through the receiver.

Old Zheng didn't expect Old Hua to be so decisive. Did he persuade Zhang Heping?

"Advisor Zhang means to hand the suspect over directly to the Shenzhen Municipal Public Security Bureau for processing!" Old Hua didn't keep him in suspense and simply said, "But I'm worried that the Shenzhen Municipal Public Security Bureau won't be able to withstand the pressure and release the person, which would disappoint Advisor Zhang."

Mr. Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "I will ask about this matter after I arrive in Huadu this afternoon."

Mr. Zheng did not express his opinion, but his meaning was very clear.

Because of the things he asked about, as long as the people below were not stupid, they would think carefully about why he asked about this and then respond actively.

When Japanese people kneel, they are not kneeling, but sitting.

How can you just sit down and apologize?
Therefore, Zhang Heping did not take seriously the fact that his predecessor Suzuki Machi knelt at the intersection and apologized for his crime for a long time.

As a number of Heping brand black electric off-road vehicles drove out of Xueyuan Road in Nanshan District of Shenzhen City, they stopped when they passed the old man Suzuki who was being interviewed on the roadside.

Then, the rear window of the third electric SUV was lowered, allowing Mrs. Aso to show her head and call old man Suzuki "father".

Then, the car windows rolled up again and the convoy quickly drove away.

Old man Suzuki hurriedly apologized to Zhou Xiaochun and the other two, then called on his entourage to get in the car and follow the convoy in front.

Zhang Heping didn't want to see him, which was within old man Suzuki's expectations.

But transferring his third daughter at this time made old man Suzuki a little confused.

He was fully prepared and stayed at the intersection for a long time, begging Zhang Heping to listen to his explanation.

If this matter is not explained clearly, not only his third daughter and son-in-law may be thrown into the high seas to feed the fish, but other people in their Suzuki family may also be retaliated against, not to mention the 120-year lifespan potion!
Fortunately, after following them all the way, old man Suzuki found that his daughter, son-in-law and others were only taken into the National Security Building, and the heavy stone in his heart was relieved.

In his opinion, as long as Zhang Heping did not send people to do it secretly, there would still be room for maneuver.

Especially this kind of department that can deal with business to business.

Next, it depends on the ability of Japan’s foreign affairs department to do its job!

Zhou Xiaochun and two colleagues temporarily placed their camera and two mobile phones at the college's gate, and then the three of them successfully entered the Peace College.

Because the photographer and assistant were visiting for the first time, Zhou Xiaochun temporarily acted as a tour guide and introduced the buildings in the college to the two colleagues.

The middle-aged female assistant looked curiously at a tall building outside the car and asked, "Is the top floor of that biological genetics laboratory building the world's top biological laboratory that can remotely control the space laboratory module?"

The photographer was also curiously looking at the huge campus outside the car. Suddenly, he pointed at a building and asked excitedly, "Isn't that the gymnasium where the Peace Prize Awards Ceremony is held?"

"When I watched it on TV before, I didn't see the whole stadium. I didn't expect it to be so big. No wonder it can accommodate so many scholars and experts!"

Zhou Xiaochun simply dealt with the curiosity of his two colleagues. After the three of them arrived at the villa area, Zhou Xiaochun solemnly reminded them: "My cousin was seriously injured this time. Although he has recovered a lot, he has been feeling sleepy recently."

"So, when you meet my uncle later, try not to disturb him, lest my aunt and cousin's wife be unhappy!"

"Don't worry, Team Leader Zhou, we promise not to disturb Consultant Zhang's rest!" the photographer said hurriedly.

The middle-aged female assistant nodded and said, "Don't worry, Xiaochun. We are both sensible people. We are already honored to be invited to Consultant Zhang's home for New Year's Eve dinner. How dare we cause more trouble?"

Zhou Xiaochun led the two of them towards Villa No. 1 and said with a smile, "Just a heads-up. Even if you want to talk to him, he might not be in the mood to pay attention to you."

"He's been up all morning since he performed surgery on the injured driver. He should be catching up on his sleep upstairs right now."

"Except for my cousin, everyone else can communicate normally. Just don't ask sensitive topics."

The photographer and the female assistant hurriedly responded, but when they entered Villa No. 1, they found out that Zhang Heping had gone back to the hospital operating room after lunch.

"Xiaochun, lunch is left in the pot for you." Tang Xin walked into the living room with a suitcase and nodded to the visitor. "Greet your colleagues, feel free to order whatever you want!"

Seeing Tang Xin's attitude, Zhou Xiaochun couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Cousin, where are you going?"

"I'm not leaving!" Tang Xin turned to look at the stairs and said helplessly, "I'm sending my parents to the car. They're going back to Hong Kong Island for the New Year."
