Break out of the courtyard

On the night of Christmas Eve, Zhang Heping was painting battlefield paintings in the Mid-Levels Villa while telling the children about the Battle of Changjin Lake.

As for those people on the road, they were not looked down upon by the bodyguards who had experienced the battlefield, and they did not mention the matter to Zhang Heping.

"Dad!" The eldest son Zhang Bei brought a globe and asked: "The Northern Dynasty is so small, why did the Magi Kingdom bring so many countries to fight against the Northern Dynasty?"

"This needs to be considered from multiple levels!" Zhang Heping quickly drew a picture of three planes dropping bombs on a mountain col, then took another piece of white paper, drew a mind map for his eldest son, and explained:

"First of all, from a national system level, the Northern Korea, Northern Soviet Union and our country were communists at that time..."

The next day, Zhang Heping stayed at the Mid-Levels Villa to celebrate the birthday of his fourth daughter, Zhang Feng.

After lunch, the eldest nephew Tang Lie came to Zhang Heping with a large volume of architectural drawings and said that some parts of the apartment building needed to be modified.

"Uncle, we want to build the first to third floors of the elevator apartment into large flat floors, which will be used to sell daily necessities and open a cinema. The upper floors will be converted into three independent elevator apartments to increase lighting..."

"The idea of ​​a three-story flat floor is a good one. It can be used as a canteen, a nursing home, or an office in the future." Zhang Heping suggested it seemingly unintentionally.

There are so many high-rise buildings on Hong Kong Island and there is no shortage of professional construction personnel. Zhang Heping is happy to be lazy.

However, the three single-family elevator apartments on the drawing are a bit strange.

"Does dividing a townhouse elevator apartment into three independent apartment buildings look like three incense sticks in front of a grave?" Zhang Heping asked unhappily: "Do the villas in front of these three incense sticks look like sacrifices?"

When the father-in-law Tang Ming, mother-in-law Xu Jiefeng, and concubines nearby heard Zhang Heping's words, they all gathered around and started talking about the design.

"Who designed this?" The second aunt said dissatisfiedly: "Does it have any grudge against our family?"

"The large flat floor below, plus the three tall buildings above, are complete with incense holders and three incense sticks. Are you trying to sacrifice us living in the villa to the mountain god?"

……

Zhang Heping glanced at his eldest nephew Tang Lie, who had an ugly face, picked up the architectural design drawing he had drawn earlier, and explained:

"Northerners pay attention to sitting north and facing south. This is because of meteorological factors and to avoid the cold Siberian wind blowing into their homes. This is the simplest Feng Shui practice."

"Our three terraced elevator apartments face the Victoria Harbor in the northeast. The sun rises from the east and sets from the west. The sunlight shines obliquely on the residents' homes on the front and back of the apartment building."

"This is the softest lighting, which avoids the light effect caused by direct light. Of course, there are also some airflow issues in typhoon days, geological issues in Taiping Mountain, etc. are also taken into consideration."

"The only drawback is that residents facing the southwest facing back cannot see the view of Victoria Harbor from their homes."

"So, I added this cost-increasing corridor design between the elevator apartments; firstly, the residents at the back can enjoy the scenery from the corridor, and secondly, the residents on each floor can easily visit and chat."

"As for the number of villas, it just needs to be an even number with the apartments with elevators. In addition, the foundation must be made of nail piles. I won't explain the mechanics to you."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Heping continued to look at the pile of technical problems that Huadu had transferred to Tingmei Trading Company.

Many of these questions are neither advanced nor inferior, neither profound nor basic.

To put it bluntly, there is a lack of systematic and coherent learning, resulting in deficiencies in what is learned.

Other problems are that in actual production, qualified parts cannot be produced according to the technical information provided by Zhang Heping.

This is a problem of individual differences in hand-made production. The best solution is to use CNC machine tools for precision processing and implement standardized production.

To put it more bluntly, level 7 and 8 fitters like Yi Zhonghai cannot keep up with the times!

Zhang Heping thought about it for a moment. He couldn't set up a school in Banna, and he had lost interest in teaching people.

But now, perhaps we can change the way to deliver technology to the country and make a big splash.

Anyway, what he wants is to assemble cars with qualified parts, not to turn a factory into a high-tech company.

Therefore, Chen Shuting's Tingmei Trading Company received a new task: to set up a printing factory in Shenzhen Town, and Zhang Heping wanted to publish a book!

This time, in order to save time, printing presses, coated paper, etc. were purchased on Hong Kong Island and sent directly to Shenzhen. Shenzhen just built the factory.

Tang Xin saw that Chen Shuting was so busy, so she approached Zhang Heping to act coquettishly and wanted to help with something.

However, her coquettish behavior made the children laugh endlessly.

Zhang Heping thought that his eldest wife Tang Xin still had 1000 million yuan, so he asked her to set up Heping Audit Firm and Heping Law Firm to assist his company and do a good job in risk control.

Of course, the most important thing is that Hishima produces too many copycat red and white consoles. Once the Magnesium patent is applied for, it will be time to collect patent fees from Hishima Game Console Factory!

For two consecutive weeks, Zhang Heping was editing books in the study room of Villa No. 9 in Kowloon Tong, covering mechanical manufacturing and design, material mechanics and applications, CNC principles and CNC machine tools, CNC programming and processing, integrated circuit design and application, automobile design and manufacturing... …

During this period, Zhang Heping’s wife and children accompanied him on his 29th birthday, and it was 1979 before he knew it!

Zhang Heping didn't know why the car manufacturer's approval was so slow, but the printing factory's approval was very fast. When he left Hong Kong Island, construction of a printing factory had already begun in Shenzhen.

The symbiotic order of black and white has been restored in Yau Tsim Mong. From the 1st to the 3rd of this month, no sly gangsters went to Heping Real Estate Company to collect protection fees.

The office of Tingmei Trading Company moved next door to Heping Real Estate Company. There were disabled bodyguards who received double salaries from both companies to watch the scene, but there were no more troubles.

In addition, his wife and children still lived in the villa on the mountainside, so Zhang Heping went back with peace of mind.

November 1979, 1, Friday morning.

Zhang Heping had been away for more than half a year. When he returned to the capital, he was a little surprised to see many people building houses along the way.

When he arrived at Houhai Yinding Bridge, he was surprised to find that the rotten house in the north of the bridge that he had coveted had turned into a boxy two-story red brick building.

Listening to the noise inside, it should be a group of women working on sewing machines inside. Could it be a clothing workshop run by the street?

If so, the best way to open it would be to turn the first floor into a clothes shop, with processing and production upstairs.

Zhang Heping glanced around this ugly little building. He didn't see the sign, so he put aside his doubts and walked home.

"Uncle?" Chang Wen, the eldest niece, and her younger brothers and sisters were building a snowman in front of the door. When they saw Zhang Heping, they ran into No. 7 Courtyard with a roar, "Uncle is back!"

The eldest nephew Zhang Yi ran to Zhang Heping, helped him carry his luggage bag, and said to please: "Uncle, can you buy us firecrackers?"

"Uncle, aren't you cold?" Niece Zhang Ting curiously touched the thin green military uniform on Zhang Heping.

"Uncle, can I buy firecrackers?" My nephew Chang Le and his two younger brothers also came over.

Zhang Heping touched Chang Le's little head and said with a smile: "I have to ask you about your test scores."

"Oh..." The brats were immediately discouraged.

"Uncle!" Zhang Ting, the niece, pulled Zhang Heping, covered her mouth with her right hand, and reported to Zhang Heping, who was leaning over to listen: "They failed the exam. My aunt and my mother don't allow grandpa to buy them firecrackers."

Zhang Heping looked at the two siblings on the other side of the snowman and waved: "How did Xiaochun and Xiaopeng do in the exam?"

"Cousin!"

The two children from the eldest cousin's house called Zhang Heping a little bit and then followed him into Courtyard No. 7.

"dad!"
