Break out of the courtyard

The Shouyuan 120 potion that costs 120 billion RMB per bottle now converts to 21.8 billion magnesium yuan. There are not many people in the world who can afford such a large amount of money!

The Song family of Magnesium, which has declined significantly, obviously cannot afford this money.

Following Hua Lao's advice, Zhang Heping met with a member of the Song family and learned that their condition for exchanging medicine was to help Zhang Heping ease relations with the United States, allowing the Heping Group to re-establish trade ties with the United States, and at the same time avoid being assassinated by American agents in the future.

For someone who didn't even understand the basic situation, Zhang Heping simply changed the subject and asked about the Song family's current situation.

In order to highlight their strength in Magnesium and make Zhang Heping believe that they were capable of dealing with the Magnesium government, the man from the Song family boasted a lot, but was eventually driven out by Zhang Heping.

Zhang Heping couldn't quite grasp why Elder Hua had asked him to meet the Song family. He couldn't help but recall the Song family decades ago, who had allied with Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek and controlled enormous wealth, and then compared it to the Song family members he had just met.

Was Hua trying to say that even the largest families will eventually decline, or was he warning Zhang Heping to give up one of his power and wealth, or was he suggesting that Zhang should follow the example of the Song family and leave himself an escape route to the United States?

Zhang Heping only thought about it for a few minutes and then put his doubts aside.

What he didn't know was that after the Song family left the intersection of Shenzhen Peace College, they contacted some Magnesium consortiums and discussed subsequent cooperation on the pretext that they had just met Zhang Heping, hoping to climb up the ladder.

Whether the Song family members really saw Zhang Heping, the Mexicans did not know.

But their spies at the intersection of Shenzhen Peace College did see the bodyguards from the Umbrella Security Company bringing a member of the Song family into the college.

This alone puts them hundreds of blocks ahead of other Chinese players.

As for whether the Song family can still meet Zhang Heping, the Magnesian man chooses to believe it, because the Song family has already made a good start, giving the Magnesian man another option to break the deadlock.

The Song family was just a small episode and did not affect Zhang Heping's pace of experimentation, because the longevity potion was the foundation of the Zhang family's future power.

At present, the only thing that worries Zhang Heping is his children’s marriage.

However, as Old Lady Yang, Grandpa Zhuang, father-in-law Tang Ming, and mother-in-law Xu Jiefeng came to Shenzhen Heping Hospital for blood tests, people began to introduce blind dates to Zhang Bei, Zhang Nan, and Zhang Nian.

This time, Zhang Bei and Zhang Nan were not as resistant as before. Instead, they carefully learned about each other's personal and family situations.

Zhang Nan even stated his criteria for choosing a spouse: he would not consider anyone who is not the son of an official or a military officer.

The second girl Zhang Nan had such a change in her choice of partner. Everyone was speculating whether the night Zhang Heping was injured had caused some changes in Zhang Nan's concept.

Compared with Zhang Nan, Zhang Nian's criteria for choosing a spouse are broader. He wants a rising star in the officialdom who is quick-witted and motivated.

Zhang Bei didn't make so many requests, but he also carefully learned about the situations of those women.

Although the blind date was not finally arranged, it gave Director Wang, Old Lady Yang and others a direction to look for.

They are not afraid of the Zhang family's children making requests, but they are afraid that they will say nothing.

After hearing Zhang Nan's criteria for choosing a spouse, Zhang Heping didn't say much. He only told his first wife Tang Xin that he would send someone to investigate carefully later.

Time quietly came to April 4st, and Japan sent a new list of accountability, including five Japanese government officials in addition to the people involved in the case from Mitsui.

This time, Zhang Heping did not raise any objection to the memorandum of understanding and acquiesced to the 3 million magnesium compensation made by Nichia, rather than the compensation given privately by the Mitsui Group.

The compensation was transferred from the mainland to the Peace Group because all the people involved in the case have not yet been sentenced and Ridao is still on the blacklist of the Peace Group.

After the compensation from Ridao arrived, the Heping Group did not publicize it in a high-profile manner. Instead, it directly opened a Huifeng account for the mother of the deceased bodyguard Xiao Shen and the driver Xiao Lu, and deposited their 1 million magnesium yuan compensation into the accounts respectively.

As for Zhang Heping's 1 million magnesium yuan, it was transferred to the Peace Charity Foundation. It was obvious that he did not value this little money.

When driver Xiao Lu was told by Wei Chunqiao that the compensation had arrived, he was scolded by Wei again, which made driver Xiao Lu feel ashamed.

Japan's actions were obviously not communicated to the Magnesium government.

In particular, after the Japanese government held so many people involved in the case accountable and sentenced them respectively, the Magnesium government is in a bit of a bad situation!
Because they had previously put all the blame on the late Director William, claiming that the January 1th bombing was under the sole command of Director William and no one else was aware of it.

This kind of statement may be okay to fool children, but normal people will not believe it!
Just when the Magnesium people were still fantasizing about improving their relationship with the Peace Group, Huadu was trying the Aso couple, Mitsui Sho and other people involved in the case.

The US agent who used the alias Taylor and Sho Mitsui, who pressed the remote control to detonate the truck bomb, were sentenced to death for murder.

Others, regardless of whether they knew about it or not, were sentenced to varying terms in prison for their involvement in the bombing.

After the former Mayor Suzuki finished hearing the case in Japan, he immediately sent the verdict to Shenzhen Peace College, and finally received an interview with Zhang Heping.

After former Mayor Suzuki confessed to Zhang Heping that some Japanese government officials had not been singled out and punished, Zhang Heping agreed to issue a letter of apology to the Aso couple, allowing the Japanese couple to spend fewer years in prison.

After Zhang Heping knew all the behind-the-scenes people on the Japanese island, he asked Zhu Chengguang, the manager of the Umbrella Security Department, to arrange for someone to issue an underground bounty in Eastern Europe with a total value of up to 10 billion magnesium yuan!

With such a huge bounty, not only Eastern Europe, whose economy was on the brink of collapse, but even mercenaries and gangsters from Western Europe got involved.

So, Japan, which had just made a public apology and paid 3 million magnesium yuan in compensation, was faced with Zhang Heping's second round of revenge in disbelief!

The key point is that in order to be able to buy new longevity potions in the future, the Japanese government has made huge concessions and did not link the recent vicious incidents to the Heping Group.

First of all, they had no evidence. They only knew that someone in Eastern Europe had issued a huge reward for the lives of some Japanese people.

Secondly, when most Japanese people found that their names were not on the bounty list, they felt much more relieved and would not offend the peace group they were trying to ease relations with for the sake of those dying people.

The last and most crucial point is that they didn’t follow the rules and were the first to carry out the assassination!

Therefore, when Mr. Hua asked Zhang Heping whether he had issued the bounty on the Japanese island, his tone wasn't very firm. Zhang Heping didn't deny it, remaining silent, which made Mr. Hua feel that his question was somewhat unnecessary.

"Professor Hua, how about adding your name and Professor Li's name to the next batch of drug trial lists?" Zhang Heping said this not to bribe Professor Hua, but simply because he felt that the other party's reaction and thinking were not keeping up with the current situation.

"I... I think I'll pass!" Old Hua shook his head, his attention successfully diverted. "Everyone else is waiting. If I take the medicine first, it will be difficult to persuade others to wait later."

"Then you don't need to persuade me. I'll create a website, publish the waiting list for the drug trial, and open online applications." Zhang Heping said indifferently, "I'll also publish the selection criteria for the drug trial to prevent anyone from having any random ideas!"

"Random thoughts..." Old Hua silently pondered what Zhang Heping had just said.

If Zhang Heping were allowed to build a website and conduct an open and fair selection, with so many elderly men and women across the country, when would it be the turn of those who are already admitted to Shenzhen Heping Hospital?

Hua Lao felt that Zhang Heping didn't really want to build a website; he was just responding to Hua Lao's earlier question about the bounty on the Japanese island.

The Peace Group had previously issued several huge bounties, letting the outside world know that the Peace Group was not easy to mess with, and also reducing a lot of trouble for the Zhang family.

This time, the Peace Group did not publicly announce the reward, which was already very considerate of him. However, he pretended to be ignorant and insisted on asking.

Why bother!
He didn't even think about it: if the security here was in place and the truck explosion hadn't happened, would Zhang Heping spend so much money and do these time-wasting things?

Afterwards, Elder Hua began to examine himself, asking himself why he had asked Zhang Heping in person. Was it because he had been flattered by others too much recently when the Lifespan 120 potion was distributed, and he wanted to control Zhang Heping's every move?
Before Mr. Hua could figure things out, Zhang Heping took his whole family to Hong Kong Island, seemingly to show Mr. Hua that he could leave whenever he wanted and no one could stop him!
On the afternoon of the day Zhang Heping returned to Hong Kong Island, he convened a meeting with investment consultants, fund managers and others from Heping Group, Heping Investment and Stepmother Investment.

At the meeting, Zhang Heping talked about the Internet bubble that Hong Kong stocks are currently experiencing.

"28-nanometer chips have officially been supplied to mainland computer, mobile phone, television and other electrical appliance manufacturers!" Zhang Heping looked at the employees sitting, squatting, and standing in the conference hall and said with a smile:
"What I want to tell you is that even though Hong Kong stocks have been driven up by foreign investors, this internet bubble has only just begun!"

"This time, we're going to try a different approach on our own turf!"

A young man in his twenties asked excitedly, "Master, how are we going to play this time?"

"IPO!" Zhang Heping didn't keep anyone in suspense. He opened the slides and began to talk about his plan. "This time, we're going to spend a small amount of money, hold a large stake, and support as many private companies as possible to go public!"

"No one wants to short Hong Kong stocks and be pointed at and called a vampire by others, right?"

A group of investment consultants and fund managers couldn't help but laugh when they thought of the various insults they received on the Japanese Internet.

A male voice rang out from the crowd, "Master, I'm not afraid of being scolded, but I'm afraid someone will throw paint at my door at night, hehe!"

"Throwing paint is not a big deal, I'm just afraid someone will run to my house and jump off the building!" someone else interrupted.

"At 12 o'clock in the evening, he will jump off the building wearing red clothes and red shoes, and then turn into a ghost and come to our company to work the night shift with us vampires, haha!" Someone laughed, probably thinking about the scene of dividing the money in the future.

Zhang Heping raised his right hand and pressed it, then continued, "Our next mission is simple: expand the Hong Kong stock market, dilute existing foreign capital, and attract more foreign capital to enter!"

"Master!" A young female fund manager raised her hand and said, "I heard our group has many technology patents. If we can license some of our technology to the companies we support, we should be able to reduce expenses and increase our corresponding shareholding."

"That's a great idea!" Zhang Heping thought so too, but since his subordinate had brought it up, he offered encouragement. "When the time comes, if those companies or factories need any technology or encounter any technical difficulties, feel free to email me."

"We do IPOs for mutual benefit, not as a one-time deal. If we bet on a unicorn, not only will we make a fortune, but the team responsible for the project will also make a lot of money."

"So, before we discuss specific matters, let's follow the old rules and clarify the matters of profit sharing and dividends first, so as to avoid losing motivation for some people!"

"Master, don't worry. If anyone lacks motivation, I'll do the work for him. Just give me his share of the bonus!"

"Me too! Haha!"

……

It is said that Ou Magnesium Capital has long been on guard against the Peace Group's short selling of Hong Kong stocks. They have even reserved 20% of their funds for this purpose, hoping to take the opportunity to follow the Peace Group in short selling first, and then go long on Hong Kong stocks to defeat the Peace Group.

As long as the capital chain of Heping Group is broken, not to mention whether the investment of Heping Group in the mainland will fail, a large number of shares of Heping Group's listed companies in Hong Kong will definitely be released.

Heping-affiliated listed companies such as Heping Mining, Tingmei Daily Chemical Products, Tingmei Luggage, Heping Wine, Heping Emotional Products, Heping Health Care, and Heping Pharmaceuticals are all high-quality listed companies recognized by capital from all over the world.

Unfortunately, only 15% of the shares of these companies are in circulation, and the remaining 85% are firmly held by the Heping Group.

There is also Peace Wisdom Technology, the Internet company with the largest market value at present. It also has only 15% of its shares in circulation, making it coveted by countless foreign investors.

However, what these European Magnesium Capitals never expected was that the Peace Group not only delayed investing the funds in Hong Kong stocks, but instead invested the money in those unknown small companies and mainland factories.

It was not until a web shopping and offline delivery website company supported by Stepmother Investment Company announced that it had received funding and technical support from the Peace Group, would expand its business to Taiwan Island and New Island, and would go public in the next three years, that the capital community smelled something different.

Since the stepmother investment started supporting the company, more than ten Internet-related companies have subsequently announced expansion and listing plans.

What is most eye-catching is that the investment department of Peace Group actually persuaded two chip factories in the mainland to go public in Hong Kong!
As soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted various media to report it.

The 28-nanometer chip technology is simply too advanced, and the process technology has improved so dramatically that European Magnesium's semiconductor experts have no confidence in catching up.

However, the Peace Group unexpectedly announced that it would have two factories capable of producing 28-nanometer chips and would be listed in Hong Kong!

In the eyes of foreign investors, this is like giving them two top chip factories for free!
Because, in their opinion, money is really worthless. At worst, they can just print more in the future.

However, a factory capable of producing 28-nanometer chips cannot be easily produced!
Following the news of the chip factory's listing in Hong Kong, there are also plans for listing for beverage factories, daily chemical factories, instant noodle factories, etc.

For a time, the Hong Kong stock market seemed to become the hottest fundraising venue, attracting the attention of global capital... (End of this chapter)
