Break out of the courtyard

"Mrs. Zhang, you're finally here!"

"Mrs. Zhang has such great skin care. No wonder she can charm Mr. Zhang so much that he doesn't go out and mess around with other girls!"

"Where did you buy this dress, Mrs. Zhang? It's so pretty!"

"You don't understand this! This dress was designed by Mr. Zhang himself, and then tailored for me by a tailor. You can't buy it anywhere else!"

"Mrs. Zhang, how do you maintain your figure? We drink Tingmei slimming tea and Taitai oral liquid every day, but we still can't get as good a figure as you!"

"Mrs. Zhang, I heard that many shareholders of Duocai Investment Company are selling their shares. Will your family sell their shares there?"

……

When Zhang Heping and his concubine Chen Shuting came out of Huifeng Bank, they returned to the mountaintop villa in less than ten minutes. They saw many young women inside and outside the three villas. The guests ranged from fifty to six or seven years old, and they were all women!

"They must be here to ask about Duocai Investment!" Chen Shuting said to Zhang Heping with certainty, and then she took the initiative to block the group of women who surrounded them and let Zhang Heping go home first.

The house was relatively quiet. Father-in-law Tang Ming and mother-in-law Xu Jiefeng were sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV, with a few little girls sitting quietly beside them.

Going up to the second floor, there were two girls about fifteen or sixteen years old peeking out of the study door, and other girls were chattering in the piano room and practice room opposite.

Zhang Heping walked into the study and saw his eldest son Zhang Bei sitting at a long table with his two younger brothers reading a book. He couldn't help but smile.

That group of rich ladies have been eyeing the Zhang family for more than a year or two. At first, they wanted to send their daughter to Zhang Heping's bed. But after driving a few people out of the circle, no one did that anymore.

Now, everyone is targeting Zhang Heping's three sons.

But Zhang Heping didn't like to deal with those rich ladies, which subtly influenced his three sons, whether it was good or bad.

Zhang Heping placed Chen Shuting's briefcase on her desk, then returned to his own desk and began to draw up a plan for the future development of Hong Kong Island Telecommunications Company.

There are currently more than 700 million people in Hong Kong Island, and there are 463 million landline phones registered with Hong Kong Island Telecom, which is 60 more than the total number of landline phones in the country.

In addition to telephone business, Hong Kong Island Telecom also has telegraph business, and the annual profit of the two businesses is around HK$700 million.

In total, the annual profit is more than 1 million magnesium yuan, and Zhang Heping gave 43.2 billion magnesium yuan for Viagra tablets.

You know, the Eagle Americans were determined to sell off all Eagle assets in Hong Kong before 1997.

Therefore, the Americans in the United States only think about making a big profit, and there is no question of whether they lose or not.

Not long after Zhang Heping started writing, his nephew Tang Lie from next door came over with ATV's General Manager Qu.

In order to reveal without leaving any trace that there was no laboratory or technical data in his villa, outsiders were actually allowed to enter the study room on the second floor, but very few people were invited in.

At this moment, after Zhang Heping received a call from downstairs, he didn't want to stop writing, so he asked Tang Lie to bring the person to the study on the second floor.

When Manager Qu of ATV came to Zhang's house for the first time, he was surprised by the study on the second floor. In the room of more than 2 square meters, except for the two long tables put together in the middle and the large desks on the left and right ends, the rest were all books on the bookshelves.

"Uncle!" After entering the room, the eldest nephew Tang Lie walked straight to Zhang Heping who was sitting behind the desk on the left. "Rediffusion Television is planning to launch the Super Girls audition on January 1 next year. Here is their program plan."

Zhang Heping stopped writing, looked at the plan handed to him, then threw it on the table and continued writing.

"The finals will be on February 2th, New Year's Eve. Time is too tight!" Zhang Heping didn't even look at Manager Qu. While writing the development outline, he said distractedly: "Take notes yourself."

Tang Lie took a pen from the desk, picked up the plan, and handed it to Manager Qu behind him, asking him to go to the desk and prepare to take notes.

"We will add 30 audition locations. Don't be afraid to spend money. If you want to do it, you must do it big and strong!" Zhang Heping said calmly: "For 1 days in January, no matter it's windy or rainy, no matter if there are people coming or not, we will audition from 31 am to 7 pm."

"In February, we will find a place to give open vocal lessons to the selected girls, so that passers-by can see their efforts and build momentum."

"The qualifying round will be held in March, the semi-finals in April, the top 3 and top 4 will be selected in May, and the top 5 will compete in June. During this period, vocal lessons and stage performance lessons must continue to be taught. This is for the effect of the show, so don't be reluctant to give up."

"Only by extending the time span can we attract the audience's attention and then attract advertising sponsorship."

"Every contestant selected by the audition judges at each site, whoever is shortlisted, enters the finals, the top 16, the top 8, and is elected as the champion, runner-up and third place, will be given a cash reward by the audition judges, so that they can select the candidates with their heart!"

"Don't do any telephone canvassing before the semi-finals. Let them concentrate on learning vocal music. After the semi-finals begin, the judges' on-site scoring can only account for 50% of the weight, and the audience and telephone voting each account for 25%."

"Remind your people that during the show, no unspoken rules or other such nonsense are allowed to occur, otherwise..."

Zhang Heping didn't say anything cruel about throwing them into the sea to feed the fish. He waved his left hand, signaling them to leave.

Hong Kong Island Telecom currently uses electronic switches, which need to be replaced with digital switches!

The telephone lines also need to be optimized. It just so happens that the wiring of Hong Kong Island’s electric lights and the pipelines of the gas company also need to be optimized. The future optical fiber lines also need to be planned...

During dinner in the evening, Chen Shuting talked about the purpose of those rich ladies' visit.

"Hubby, Sister Xin and I have already told those wives that Tingmei Trading will not sell Duocai Investment's shares, nor will it buy anyone else's shares. It will only take over the shares vacated by the withdrawal of investment."

"Don't worry about them!" Zhang Heping took a sip of porridge and said, "I just wrote a development outline for Hong Kong Island Telecom and put it on your desk. You will lead people to reorganize this company from now on."

……

The next day, Zhang Heping rode a motorcycle to Shenzhen alone.

He first handed the book "The Rise of Great Powers" that he had written to Director Sha of the Science Printing Factory, and then called his home in the capital.

"Has the new energy battery factory started production?" Zhang Heping asked casually when he left the office, but he didn't get any response.

Afterwards, Zhang Heping rode his motorcycle to the row of granaries not far away.

There are still a lot of grade three threaded steel bars and aluminum alloy ingots in the warehouse on the south side.

The warehouse in the north that was to be converted into a factory building has finally started construction!

Zhang Heping was blocked at the door by two security guards. He waited for several minutes before Liao Changjie, the director of the new energy battery factory, came out.

"Engineer Zhang came at the right time. We have produced a batch of No. 5 lithium-ion batteries with an operating voltage of 3.7 volts. We are currently conducting charge and discharge tests." Director Liao said as he led Zhang Heping into the quality inspection workshop.

Zhang Heping walked into the workshop, picked up a No. 5 lithium-ion battery, weighed it, put it under his nose and smelled it, then put the battery down and went out to inspect the factory.

When the factory manager Liao Changjie saw Zhang Heping standing still outside the artificial graphite warehouse, he hurriedly explained, "Both the positive and negative electrode materials have been entrusted to a military factory in the mainland for processing. This is to keep it confidential and to start production faster."

After hearing this, Zhang Heping put his hands behind his back and went to see another warehouse where the positive electrode materials were stored.

"Put all the unused granaries into use and expand production!" Zhang Heping said as he walked towards the motorcycle, "Let the mainland's processing factories work hard to produce!"

"Engineer Zhang, what you said sounds a bit strange to me!" Director Liao hurriedly followed.

"Director Liao!" Zhang Heping picked up his helmet and said with a frown:

"I have no objection to you asking the mainland to process lithium-ion batteries. I only have one request: the battery delivery volume in the first half of next year cannot be less than 2000 million."

As Zhang Heping said this, he rode his bike to the Shenzhen Municipal Government.

He was a little dissatisfied with the mainland price workers just now, because the economic situation next year is not good and the policy is likely to be tightened, he is worried that it will affect battery production.

But thinking that it was a processing factory for the military, Zhang Heping suppressed his worries.

The foundation of the Peace Group office building east of the municipal government was still being laid. Zhang Heping found You Daren next to the construction site and asked about the progress. He learned that the progress was slowed down because construction materials from the mainland were being used for reconstruction in the disaster area.

"Next year, I will have Island Electric, Island Telecom, and Towngas rewire and bury pipes. You should pay attention to the construction requirements in this regard and the reserve of workers."

You Daren's eyes lit up, and he asked anxiously, "Uncle, how big is the project?"

“First, we will do Hong Kong Island, Lamma Island and the outlying islands, and then Kowloon and the New Territories. We will have plenty of time.”

"Uncle, the economy is bad right now, why would those three companies make such a big fuss?"

“They changed the boss!”

Zhang Heping patted You Daren on the shoulder and rode his bike to the city government.

He has an appointment with Director Wu today, also about municipal construction.

Zhang Heping went in and chatted for about half an hour, then left the city government and went to the Science Printing Factory.

In Zhang Heping's view, Shenzhen's municipal construction such as electric wires, telephone lines, gas pipes, and street lights had not yet started. When he was engaged in Hong Kong Island's municipal construction, he purchased more materials and took over Shenzhen's municipal construction at the same time. He could also expand Hong Kong Island Telecom's telephone business to Shenzhen.

Unexpectedly, Director Wu did not agree, saying that he would wait until the transformation of Hong Kong Island was completed before making a decision.

When you look at Hong Kong Island's transformation experience, there is no such thing as Zhang Heping. How cunning...

After Zhang Heping arrived at the Science Printing Factory, he occupied Director Sha's office and quickly wrote down a lot of items that needed to be purchased, such as: digital switches, cellular base stations, radio towers, electrical wires, telephone lines, street lights, gas stoves, water heaters, etc.

"Please ask the factories in the mainland if they can process these things for me. The relevant technical information is at the back." Zhang Heping handed a stack of information to Sha Zhixiang, who was standing at the door reviewing the book "The Rise of Great Powers". "Give me an answer before the 10th of this month. If they can't do it, I can ask people to purchase it abroad."

"Deputy Director Zhang, is Engels really a capitalist?" After Sha Zhixiang put down the book, his thoughts were still immersed in it.

"Tell me, am I a capitalist?"

Zhang Heping smiled and said something, then he stepped on the accelerator twice and rode away on his motorcycle...

Identity is something that is determined by people, even whether it is good or bad is determined by people.

Most countries stipulate monogamy, saying it is for gender equality and respect for women's rights.

But in Zhang Heping's family, the two wives get along fairly well. Who can say that they have no women's rights?

To put it bluntly, as long as it is something determined by humans, there is no such thing as absolute good or bad.

Because it changes depending on the person!

In a few decades, who in the mainland will look down on capitalists?

They are all looking at money and want to start a business and become capitalists!

……

Time flies. Zhang Heping waited at home until December 12th, and finally received the reply from Director Sha:

Can all be processed on your behalf!

Real hammer!

Mainland military factories have already equipped themselves with equipment such as step-by-step scanning lithography machines and etching machines, otherwise they would not be able to produce the relevant chips in programmable digital switches.

After hearing Director Liao of the new energy battery processing factory say that the positive and negative electrode materials were processed by mainland military factories, Zhang Heping gradually figured it out.

Tingmei Health Factory, Guangming Lighting Factory, Ultra-thin Color Screen Factory, and New Energy Battery Factory were all taken over in a semi-militarized manner for various reasons.

Instead of letting Chen Shuting set up more processing factories in the name of Tingmei Trading Company and involve more security personnel, it is better to directly contact Director Sha and Director Wang and contact the mainland for processing.

It doesn’t matter which factory they arrange for production, as long as the goods are delivered on time.

Anyway, they are happy to earn foreign exchange and Zhang Heping is happy to relax.

Of course, the most critical issue is that Zhang Heping doesn’t care about those technologies, but there is a severe shortage of them in China!

After receiving the definite reply from Director Sha, Zhang Heping asked Director Sha to collect samples from the cost workers while contacting the Hong Kong government to discuss municipal construction issues and set up mobile phone communication equipment.

When talking to the Eagle countrymen, we cannot be as tactful and cautious as we are in China, otherwise nothing will be done.

On the contrary, it is a point that can be used very well.

"Mr. Zhang, in the past, the electricity, gas, and telephone companies used their own funds to replace the lines and pipelines!" The Financial Secretary of Hong Kong Island was very excited, as if he had suffered a great loss.

Zhang Heping asked with a smile: "You don't want to change the street lights? LED lights are very energy-efficient!"

"No change!" The Financial Secretary didn't even look at his boss.

After going around in circles for a long time, all his requests were finally rejected, and Zhang Heping stood up looking very disappointed.

Just as he turned to leave, he paused and asked, "We will bear the cost, and the Hong Kong government will issue a document requiring all units, companies, and individuals to actively cooperate with our electricity, gas, and telephone renewal construction and not to hinder the construction. Otherwise, the Hong Kong police will detain you for three days for disturbing public order. That should be fine, right?"

The Eagles looked at each other, and finally looked at the Governor behind the desk.

"Will you bear the expenses yourselves?" the Governor confirmed again.

"If you don't give me money, I will have to let Island Electric, China Gas and Island Telecom bear the cost of public construction on their own!"

"OK!" When the Governor heard the word "public", he immediately looked at his subordinates and said, "Go and give the approval documents to Mr. Zhang now!"

The Eagle Country people were afraid that Zhang Heping would go back on his word, because the taxes they collected, apart from paying the salaries of public officials, could only be used for public services in Hong Kong Island. The Eagle Country's London Capital had no right to collect taxes from Hong Kong Island.

So, they thought Zhang Heping was fooled and wanted to send him away quickly.

However, they did not know that Zhang Heping was secretly repairing the plank road while secretly marching to Chencang.

……

When Zhang Heping returned home with a stack of approval documents from the Hong Kong government that had been processed at great speed, his concubine Chen Shuting happened to be at home.

Zhang Heping walked into the study, put the Hong Kong government approval documents on Chen Shuting's desk, and said with a smile: "Another big business!"

"We will use this opportunity to renovate the lines and pipelines to deploy power lines to Kowloon and the New Territories." Zhang Heping said with a sly smile, "If they don't allow us to connect to the northern power grid, we will pull the power lines over in the name of installing street lights."

"Also, I didn't tell the Eagles about the mobile phone equipment. I'll install it secretly when the time comes. Once the mobile phone network is in use, they won't be able to stop it!"

"Honey, even if we install power lines in the north, China Light and Power Company will not agree to let us supply power across the border!" Chen Shuting was worried that it would be a futile effort.

Zhang Heping said nonchalantly: "After we have completed the circuit modification, we will let the media criticize the China Electric Power Company for its aging power lines and major fire hazards, etc."

“If they spend money to renovate the circuit, and then criticize them for wasting shareholders’ money, we will do everything we can to get them connected to our northern network.”

"During this period, if their stock price plummets, it will be a bargain for us!"

Chen Shuting nodded and said, "Tomorrow I will ask the newspaper reporters to go to some places with messy wires to take pictures and create public opinion first. It just so happens that the price of fuel has increased, and the electricity price in Kowloon and the New Territories has also increased. We can take advantage of the opportunity to move in."

After reaching a consensus with his concubine, Zhang Heping handed her several lists.

"In the next week, I will organize a meeting with the middle and senior management and technical staff of Island Electric, China Gas and Island Telecom. I will discuss the relevant construction issues and cost issues with them."

"Also, have all companies prepare their accounts for this year and accept the audit by Heping Audit Company next month!"
