Break out of the courtyard

While his brother-in-law Tang Ren was speaking on the stage with great enthusiasm, Zhang Heping was still supervising the bodyguards searching him at the door.

The anonymous invitations were made by Zhang Heping, which allowed many foreigners to enter the auction, adding many variables and risks to the auction.

Therefore, he must control the risks to a minimum.

Inside the venue, on the left and right walls, there were film crews from ten countries, excluding Hong Kong Island Television, invited by Tingmei Trading Company at a cost of 500 million magnesium dollars in advertising fees.

Next to the left and right cameras, there was a long dining table covered with a white cloth, on which were placed many cakes and drinks. There were more than forty waitresses waiting at the table, ready to serve the philanthropists who were sitting neatly in rows of chairs in the middle of the venue.

Tang Ren's speech was revised by Zhang Heping, so it was concise and did not steal the limelight from Mrs. Zheng, fund manager Wang Sumei, and the wife of the Governor of Hong Kong.

Even so, the speeches in the venue were still long-winded until 7:38, when the auctioneer began to introduce the first item.

And outside the door, no one came with invitations anymore.

As for those who did not have invitations, they were being persuaded by the police to leave, either go home or go back to their hotel rooms to watch the charity auction live on TV, but in any case, do not stay on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th floors and get in the way.

Time passed quietly, and 4 lots had already been sold; the prices were not high, as the sellers had already found buyers in advance to back the lots, in order to avoid the embarrassing situation of the lots failing to sell.

It is unknown whether the seller and the buyer will exchange the items privately.

Anyway, Zhang Heping has no intention of buying back the 19-inch LED monitor unless it really can't be sold.

"Boss!" The captain of the bodyguards on the third floor walked to the entrance of the venue and whispered to Zhang Heping, who was standing outside the entrance but did not go in, "The phone calls to Central, the Peak, and Kowloon Tong are not working!"

Zhang Heping glanced at the watch on his left wrist. It was 8 o'clock!

"Plan No. 1, confirm the number of bodyguards, check inside and outside the building, and confirm the number of people again." After Zhang Heping gave the instructions, his eyes fell on the foreigners in the venue, Japanese, Magnesian, American...

As early as the beginning of June, when Zhang Heping just returned to Hong Kong Island, Wei Chunqiao, the head of the Umbrella Company, reported to Zhang Heping that three additional eavesdropping devices were found in Villa No. 6 and suspicious backpackers were found in the nearby woods.

After investigation, it was initially determined that the suspect who installed the bug was an outsourced tutor.

After Zhang Heping secretly investigated, he found that the Eagle Country's intelligence department was behind the eavesdropping device. This made Zhang Heping very alert and he felt a strong sense of insecurity!

I can’t live in Hong Kong Island forever!

"Boss, according to the news from the Hong Kong police, there is a traffic jam in the Cross-Harbour Tunnel, and all the ferries are stopped on the north bank."

After hearing the slightly excited report from the bodyguard captain, Zhang Heping looked at his watch again. It was 8:19!

This is because someone doesn’t want them to go to Kowloon Tong in the north!

"Telegraph Mountain Top has entered Level 2 defense status. Family members are taking shelter in the basement, and security personnel are taking shelter in the building."

"Telegram to Kowloon Tong to confirm whether they have entered silent mode!"

"You execute plan 2, shrink your defense, reconfirm the number of people, and make sure that the three-person team does not lose sight of each other."

After Zhang Heping finished giving his instructions, his eyes fell on his eldest son Zhang Bei who was in the meeting room.

The little guy is interested in electronic technology, is lazy when practicing martial arts, and has no talent, so he can only rely on bodyguards for protection in the future.

The situation is like this for the eldest son, and the other children are not much better, not to mention the grandchildren and great-grandchildren in the future.

For this reason, Zhang Heping spared no expense to build an umbrella company and even personally guided them.

It has been 18 years since he came to this world. He is now 30 years old. Although he looks young, he knows that he is getting old, but his self-healing skills have slowed down his aging process.

Zhang Heping also thought about investing heavily in medical research to find ways to fight aging and achieve immortality.

But the reality is that the world's technological level is very backward, and many high-tech experimental equipment cannot be produced, and he cannot produce them by himself.

The key point is that this kind of research cannot be carried out by him alone by working hard, as the equipment and consumables required are too many!

The only feasible way is to promote the development of domestic basic disciplines, equipment, materials, etc., and then spend money to cultivate some laboratories and companies to assist them.

Therefore, for him now, increasing wealth is a secondary matter.

His main consideration is how to protect himself and his family and ensure the smooth inheritance of the family line!

As for research on longevity, we will have to wait for the relevant domestic technologies to develop for a few more years!

go abroad?

Zhang Heping never considered it!

The rules of the game in this world are the same. No matter where Zhang Heping goes, or whether he stays in the country, his wealth and technology will be coveted by all kinds of people!

Rather than allowing large foreign corporations to intervene in his company and take away most of his profits, it would be better for him to stay in the country to exchange interests and then support his descendants in pursuing a career in politics, scientific research, or business.

His network of classmates is still growing, his network of high-level contacts is still expanding, and his children's network of contacts is yet to be expanded...

"Boss, the top of the mountain has entered the second level of defense. Through surveillance cameras and thermal imaging cameras, they have found three suspicious people, with 3, 5, and 2 people respectively."

The bodyguard captain came back and reported again in a low voice:

"In addition, there was no telegram response from Kowloon Tong; the Hong Kong police took over the patrol outside the hotel..."

……

On the third floor of the new building of the Welfare Home at No. 7-8-9, Kowloon Tong, several people were hiding behind thick curtains, looking at the person on the infrared thermal imaging device.

"It's been half an hour since the first wave of 15 people went in. Why haven't they come out yet?"

"Is there a possibility that there are people from our team in the lab?"

"Don't talk, someone is climbing over the wall!"

"There's a window breaking downstairs!"

……

"Old Wei, there are so many of us, and there are only eight suspicious persons outside. Do we really need to ask all the family members to hide underground?"

"You know nothing!" Wei Chunqiao was in the large flat on the third floor below ground in Renheyi Community, leaning on a load-bearing column that two people could hug together, looking at the noisy crowd and saying into the microphone:

"Inform them all to cheer up! If outsiders are allowed to break into the villa or apartment building tonight, or if there are casualties, all bonuses for the second half of the year will be cancelled, and the year-end performance appraisal and option dividends will be cancelled!"

"No way! Do you have to be so cruel to our brothers?" A voice that was half joking, half complaining came from the other end of the microphone.

Wei Chunqiao said seriously: "Do you think that the money earned from working for the Security Department for ten years is so easy to get? Hurry up and notify them, be vigilant! Don't let your wife take your pension and find a wild man to beat your children!"

"Hehe! After my uncle said this last time, I changed the recipient of the pension to my mom!"

"piss off!"

……

Tonight's charity auction was originally planned to end before 9 o'clock, leaving some time for everyone to communicate with each other.

After all, not everyone is qualified to go to the top floor conference room and have a heart-to-heart talk with Old Lady Zheng.

Therefore, there are only 17 items in the auction catalog, such as a painting by Old Lady Zheng with the inscription "Love remains forever across thousands of mountains and rivers", which was selected by Zhang Heping.

There is also a pair of Jingdezhen kiln blue and white porcelain vases provided by the Huadu Cultural Center, as well as 14 antiques provided by China Resources, the Rong family, the Tang family and others, and finally the 19-inch LED monitor.

However, after the wife of the Governor of Hong Kong came in and donated a white snuff bottle made of ivory, foreigners from Eagle, Magnesium, Japan, South Korea and other places also symbolically donated several items.

Coupled with the frequent bidding from foreigners, the time was delayed until 11 o'clock in the evening.

"Please welcome to the last lot of the night!"
