Break out of the courtyard

"It's not certain whether the houses in Higashima East will be repaired, but we need to start preparing for the renovation of the lines and pipelines in Hong Kong Island to avoid delays!" Zhang Heping patted You Daren on the shoulder and said:

"If you want to expand your company, you need to train your people to be independent, and then conduct measurable assessments and provide appropriate salary incentives, rather than doing everything yourself."

"gone back!"

After saying this, Zhang Heping rode his motorcycle towards Hong Kong Island.

The second son-in-law of my eldest brother-in-law is an honest man, but lacks management experience.

To be precise, his small construction company has not yet become successful. It is only slightly better than a contractor and there are not many people for him to manage.

So, Zhang Heping took him to Ridao, not for the house, but because of Huayingxiong Company.

When Zhang Heping returned home, his second daughter Zhang Nan, who was wearing heavy makeup, two big braids, and big black-framed glasses, came over to him.

"Dad, if I put on makeup like this, outsiders won't recognize me, don't you think?" Zhang Nan held his father's arm and followed him up the stairs.

Just as Zhang Heping was about to go back to the bedroom to change clothes, Zhang Nan revealed her purpose, "Can I participate in Super Girl like this next year?"

"Put some freckles on your face, a big mole on the bridge of your nose, make the skin color of your face, neck, arms, etc. a little darker, choose a boring and forked wig, cover your ears and cheeks with your hair, and choose clothes made of ordinary fabric." Zhang Heping gave a series of suggestions but did not answer whether he could go.

Even so, the little girl was very excited and planned to spend more time studying makeup techniques during the winter vacation.

During dinner, Ah Hu came over with a few bodyguard captains.

"Son-in-law!" Ah Hu asked in a dissatisfied tone, "Boss Wei said that it was you who wanted to not give us equity incentives!"

Zhang Heping glanced at Wei Chunqiao and Tang Wei, who came in last, and then glanced at Tang Hu and the others, "What is your year-end assessment level?"

"B-level..." Ah Hu's momentum suddenly weakened a lot.

Zhang Heping picked up a piece of tofu and asked calmly, "Why not A-grade?"

Ah Hu said helplessly: "Because the annual workload assessment did not meet the standards."

This group of people joined later, and because of training, memorizing company rules and regulations, etc., they missed a lot of attendance time.

"Do you have any objections to the fairness of this year-end evaluation? Or do you think that the Umbrella Company's Security Department is underpaid?" Although Zhang Heping's tone was flat, there seemed to be an invisible pressure covering Ah Hu and others.

Ah Hu and the bodyguard captains looked at each other, and none of them answered, because the year-end evaluation results had been communicated to them face to face by Wei Chunqiao, and the year-end evaluations with high ratings were also semi-publicly available.

As for the salaries of the security department, there is nothing to say.

"Dad, I just read you the rules and regulations. If you have achieved A-level assessment for three consecutive years and have not received any equity incentives, you can directly apply for one equity incentive. If you have achieved B-level or above assessment for five consecutive years and have not received any equity incentives, you can also apply for one." Ah Hu's son Tang Wei said seriously:

"In addition, you must perform exceptionally well or make special contributions to receive equity incentives. Take me for example. I joined the company later than you and your uncles, but..."

Without waiting for the technical manager Tang Wei to finish speaking, the security manager Ah Hu pretended to catch the bad boy, and took away the bodyguard captains who had objections, and ran away!

In fact, Ah Hu had nothing to be dissatisfied with. He was more satisfied that his son received an equity incentive than that he himself received the incentive.

However, several bodyguard captains who followed him into the Umbrella Security Company had some objections. First, according to the annual end-of-year assessment, those B-level people received two or three months' salary less than those A-level people; second, those ordinary bodyguards received equity incentives, but they, as captains, did not, which was embarrassing.

"Is there anything else?" Zhang Heping glanced at Wei Chunqiao who was coming over.

Wei Chunqiao chuckled and said, "Xindao signed a contract with Hongdao Telecom today, asking them to help Xindao build a mobile phone system. Hongdao Telecom placed an order for equipment and installation services with our Umbrella Company."

"New Island doesn't have many resources, so it's only natural that they spend money to build a mobile phone system. Don't tell me that you and Tang Wei can't handle this."

"I can handle it! I just want to report it to my boss."

"Well, let's make the equipment first. It won't be too late to go to the new island after the New Year."

……

On February 2st, three days before the Chinese New Year, my father-in-law Tang Ming finally came back.

Along with them came the men, women, young and old from my second uncle Tang Yi's family.

On the contrary, my eldest brother-in-law Tang Ren and his family have been making things worse in the mobile phone assembly workshop in Shenzhen recently.

After a new batch of mobile phone parts arrived, because the Spring Festival was approaching, some employees were unwilling to work overtime, so some workstations were vacated and then replaced by Tang Ren's group of daughters-in-law, children and grandchildren.

Zhang Heping had been busy for more than half a month in order to finish his work as soon as possible so as not to be idle during the New Year period.

So, today he has time to take his family out to buy New Year's goods.

However, Zhang Heping's family went down the mountain just after Tang Yi's family returned to their villa, and there was no one at Tang Ren's house, which made Tang Yi wonder whether Zhang Heping and Tang Ren were deliberately avoiding them.

Tang Lu came to the edge of Pingba, stood next to his father Tang Yi, looked at Victoria Harbor in the distance, and asked softly: "Dad, I heard from the bodyguard that Umbrella Company now has more than 2,000 employees?"

"There is another branch in Toudou, Japan, with a total of 3225!" Tang Yi replied with a frown.

Tang Lu glanced at the bodyguards patrolling around, "To support so many people, I'm afraid I'll lose a lot of money every year!"

"Hmph..." Tang Yi snorted lightly, without saying much, for fear that the bodyguards around him would hear it and let his brother-in-law hear it.

What the father and son didn't know was that after Umbrella Security Company paid out year-end bonuses and equity incentives in January, there were still several million magnesium yuan in profits left in its accounts.

"Dad, tell uncle that we can start the mobile phone business with him. Will he agree?" Tang Lu looked at his father Tang Yi.

Tang Yi thought of the time when he and his elder brother Tang Ren were competing for Hutchison Whampoa, and frowned, "Since your grandfather brought up this matter, there might be a chance."

Tang Lu turned around and looked at Villa No. 118, raised his chin, and asked, "What about telling him?"

……

Zhang Heping took his wife, children, and a group of bodyguards out for a day, and then returned home with large and small bags of things.

Only my mother-in-law Xu Jiefeng and two nannies were at home. After the family had dinner, my father-in-law Tang Ming came back from the second son's house next door.

Then he hesitated at the door, and then asked his son-in-law Zhang Heping, who was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, "Heping, I heard that the mobile phone you guys made is very profitable, is that right?"

"Dad, this is a business secret of Aqiang's company. It's not convenient for me to tell you." Zhang Heping looked at the newspaper and replied without raising his head.

Seeing that his wife Xu Jiefeng was not around, Tang Ming sat down on the sofa and said, "Ah Hai's LCD TV was ripped off by the Japanese. They didn't make the TV according to the information you gave them, so he has only sold 23 TVs so far. Can you..."

"No!" Xu Jiefeng suddenly came out of the kitchen, holding a rolling pin, pointed at Tang Ming and said, "That's your grandson, not Heping's grandson. You can take care of it yourself if you want to."

"Mom, it's okay, go make dumplings!" Zhang Heping turned his head and said to his mother-in-law, then put down the newspaper, glanced at the time on his left watch, and then turned on the TV.

In less than half a minute, a mobile phone advertisement popped up on TV, as if suggesting that Tang Ming check the advertisement to see if there was an LCD TV.

Mother-in-law Xu Jiefeng went into the kitchen and brought out dough and meat filling. She took her daughter Tang Xin and three granddaughters to make dumplings at the dining table, leaving father-in-law Tang Ming speechless.

Zhang Heping picked up the newspaper and read for a while. Just when he finished reading the Eagle Country newspaper and found out that the Eagle Country guys were conducting a public opinion survey on the new nationality law in London and there was no news on Hong Kong Island, his eldest brother-in-law Tang Ren and his family came back in a noisy manner.

"Uncle, we have assembled another 3 mobile phones today, and we will definitely be able to deliver 4 mobile phones before New Year's Eve on the 30th!" Tang Qiang ran in excitedly and greeted everyone in the room.

"A Qiang, have you eaten? We made dumplings, would you like to try some?" Tang Xin asked casually.

Then, Tang Qiang shamelessly agreed!

Then he walked quickly to the door and called his mother and several aunts in to help make dumplings and boil water.

Not long after, all the men, women, young and old from my eldest brother-in-law's family entered the Zhang family villa in the middle, making the living room noisy.

A nephew who was about the same age as Zhang Bei went directly to the basement to find his three cousins ​​who were playing games downstairs.

Zhang Heping is still thinking about the new nationality law of the Eagle Country. Once it comes out, there will be three types of documents in Hong Kong Island: Eagle Country Citizen (Overseas) Passport, Eagle Country Dependent Territory Citizen (Hong Kong Island) Passport, and Hong Kong Island Identity Certificate.

The first passport is the national passport of the Eagle nationality, belonging to the first-class citizen, that is, the Eagle citizen.

The second passport should be an identity document issued to the indigenous people of the Eagle colonies. It is a second-class citizen, and the Eagle people are given priority when boarding the plane.

The third identity document is not the Hong Kong Permanent Resident Identity Card and is probably issued to refugees or illegal immigrants.

When Zhang Heping thought of these three documents, he couldn't help but recall the immigration invitation that Huifeng Bank Chairman Shen Bi had sent to Zhang Heping last month.

The other party once secretly reminded Zhang Heping that he had an Eagle nationality passport and could be protected by the Eagle, so Japan, Magnesium and South Korea would not dare to attack him again.

"Impossible!" Tang Qiang suddenly yelled, causing Zhang Heping to pick his right ear.

"When Tang Hai got the LCD TV information, did he ever think about letting us do the TV business together?" Tang Qiang pointed at Tang Hai behind the crowd angrily and shouted:

"That idiot Tang Hai gave all the LCD TV materials to the Japanese for processing. Now he finds out he was cheated and can't sell his LCD TVs. You guys just remembered that we are relatives?"

"When you first launched the LCD color TV, you didn't even give us one to sell? Not to mention giving us one, you..."

"That's enough!" Tang Ren scolded, "Aqiang, speak properly! You are at least..."

Zhang Heping suddenly stood up and waved to You Daren who was sitting in the corner. Then he asked his concubine Chen Shuting, who also stood up, to go to the kitchen to call out his second niece Tang Lu, and then go to the study on the second floor.

By replacing the backlights of the Japanese-made LCD TVs in Tang Hai's hands with white LED lamp beads, the gray-white display could be reduced; and by lowering the price of the TVs to around 2,000 magnesium yuan, some of them could still be sold.

After all, Tang Hai only had more than 100,000 color TV sets in stock.

Compared with Tang Qiang's order for more than 300 million mobile phones, Tang Hai can't compare at all.

Although Zhang Heping had a solution, he didn't intend to tell it.

At this time, he called his second niece and her husband upstairs and prepared to talk about Hua Yingxiong Company.

"Sit down!" Zhang Heping greeted him, then went to his desk and took out a map of Japan's Eastern Capital from a large vase.

"As you know, I have invested in some real estate and land in the eastern part of Japan." Zhang Heping unfolded the map and sat down at the long table in the middle, then said to You Daren and Tang Lu:

"I just read in the Eagle newspaper that London is discussing a new nationality law. Once this law is announced, Hong Kong Islanders will be divided into three categories: Eagle nationals, Eagle dependent citizens, and Hong Kong Island temporary residents."

As he spoke, Zhang Heping looked at the newspaper on the table and signaled that they could take a look at the Eagle Language Newspaper.

Tang Lu smiled and said, "Uncle, there's no need to look at it. Just tell us what's going on."

Zhang Heping nodded and continued, "Citizens of the Eagle Country's territories have no nationality. They belong neither to the Eagle Country nor to the mainland. So, I want you to immigrate to Japan and become Japanese citizens."

"After observing for a while, I found that Daren likes to do things by himself and lacks experience in managing large companies and multiple projects. If you are willing to go to Nichima Toudou, I plan to let Daren serve as the representative director (legal person) and general manager of Huayingxiong Company."

"You will be mainly responsible for the renovation and land development of the properties under the Huayingxiong Company. Once Daren has accumulated enough management experience, it will be much easier for you to return to Hong Kong Island to engage in real estate."

"This..." You Daren looked embarrassed.

"Uncle!" Tang Lu touched You Daren and asked Zhang Heping hurriedly, "Can you tell me how much land you have in Ridaodong?"

"Trade secret! Once Daren becomes the general manager, you will know how much there is." Zhang Heping smiled calmly, "You guys think about it first, and give me an answer after the new year."

"If you decide to immigrate to Japan, your construction company will have to find a manager to take care of it. By then, it will be a good experience for Daren to manage a multinational company."

Zhang Heping stood up and said, "Look at the big real estate developers in Hong Kong Island. Which one of them stays on the construction site every day?"

After he finished speaking, Zhang Heping took out a few books on economics from the bookshelf and handed them to You Daren and his wife along with a map.

"Uncle, can I... not immigrate?" Tang Lu rolled up the map and looked at Zhang Heping with a conflicted expression.

"There are many sex shops in Higashi-Tou. If you don't mind him going alone, I don't mind!" Zhang Heping looked at You Daren teasingly and said with a smile, "Also, Higashi-Tou University is famous for its economics and management majors. If you take your children there, you can consider letting them study there."

"There is also Ou Yanzi, the current deputy general manager of Huayingxiong Company. She was Shuting's Japanese teacher before. You can go over and ask her to teach you Japanese."

"Also, Umbrella Corporation has a branch there, so there's no need to worry about safety."

Zhang Heping said this and took them to the first floor.

My brother-in-law Tang Ren is not here. His wife, children and grandchildren are waiting for dumplings in the living room.

Zhang Heping and Chen Shuting sat back on the sofa. Everyone else looked curiously at Tang Lu, You Daren, and the books in their hands, not understanding why Zhang Heping asked them to go upstairs.

"Impossible! I will never agree to it!" Tang Qiang walked into the villa with an indignant look on his face, picked up someone's teacup on the coffee table, and drank the water in the cup in one gulp.

Tang Qiang put his left hand on his waist, put down his teacup with his right hand, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and said angrily: "You gave the technical information of the LCD color TV to the Japanese, and you even want to take my mobile phone information to give to the Japanese. Do you think I'm an idiot and can't see Tang Hai's conspiracy?"

Zhang Heping looked up at Tang Qiang and said, "Idiot!"

When these words were spoken, not only Tang Qiang was stunned on the spot, but everyone around him also fell silent, not knowing why Zhang Heping scolded Tang Qiang.

"Son, come and eat dumplings!" The second concubine of my eldest brother-in-law came out of the kitchen and served the first bowl of dumplings to her own son Tang Qiang, who was creating huge wealth for the family.

After Tang Qiang took the big bowl, he squatted beside the coffee table, eating the dumplings in the bowl while looking at the newspaper held in front of him by Zhang Heping, wondering why his uncle called him an idiot!

Father-in-law Tang Ming was relieved and moved when he saw that the third grandson of the eldest family had calmed down and was no longer as impatient as before. He felt very complicated.

Thinking back to his days, he was a luxurious man who wore fine clothes and rode a horse. When he went up the mountain to hunt, he needed a sedan chair carried by bearers, and was followed by a team of soldiers with guns.

Unexpectedly, when he got old and his two sons separated the family business, his words were no longer effective.

It’s not as effective as what my son-in-law says!

Brother-in-law Tang Ren and nephew Tang Lie came back one after another. They didn't mention the cell phone anymore, but just frowned and looked at Tang Qiang a few more times.

When Tang Ren's family returned to their home next door, Tang Qiang finally couldn't help it and called his father and brother to the study.

"Why are you following me?" Tang Ren saw Tang Lu and You Daren also entered the study, and his tone was a little dissatisfied.

Just as You Daren was about to explain, Tang Lu angrily pulled her man out.

She originally wanted to ask her father Tang Ren for his opinion, but he looked down on her man as always, which made Tang Lu very angry. She secretly vowed to make her man achieve something.

When Tang Lie saw his second sister leaving, he wanted to ask her about it, but unexpectedly, Tang Qiang's words instantly attracted all his attention.

"My uncle just scolded me, idiot!"
