Break out of the courtyard

The people at the main table chatted for a while, and Tang Qiang tactfully handed out his business card and made an appointment with everyone to discuss cooperation another day.

A group of Chinese businessmen originally wanted to inquire about the listing of Hong Kong Island Telecommunications Company, hoping to recover funds in advance, but after learning about Tang Qiang's mobile phone cooperation method, many people automatically ignored this issue.

How can you make money by starting your own telecommunications company and selling mobile phones than by buying telecommunications company stocks?

Immediately afterwards, my brother-in-law Tang Ren stood up and took the lead, talking about the election of the president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

Things like this are all communicated in advance.

If you want to become the president, reputation, connections, resources and time are all important considerations.

For example, Zhang Heping thinks he is not old enough and does not want to get involved in those trivial matters; others consider his face and suggest that he be the president, but he cannot be foolish enough to agree.

As for Tang Ren, he has been busy with LCD color screens recently, and has also been connecting with mainland mobile phone chip production to prevent being out of stock by the Japanese. He has no time to deal with other businessmen.

Tang Yi did have some thoughts in this regard, but unfortunately no one had mentioned it to him before.

He was not among the candidates for the chairmanship, and he knew that today was just a formality, so he naturally would not stand up and participate in the election like other cannon fodder businessmen.

As expected, Mr. He, the head of the He family, was elected as the president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce as expected.

At the same time, Mr. He is also the president of the Construction Guild and the Gambling Guild. It is said that he has handed over the family business to his sons, so he is relatively free.

After the main things were done, everyone started eating.

However, only a fool would bury his head in food at today's party, and they don't need a bite of food.

People at each table first drank among themselves, and then gradually moved towards the main table, mainly to make themselves familiar with each other.

Like the top Hong Kong businessmen at the main table, if they just give up a small business that they don't like, they can make the small businessmen around them earn millions.

For example, steel bars, cement, decoration, raw material procurement, etc.

When dealing with small businessmen, Zhang Heping is still as easy to talk to as ever. If you hand him a business card, he will take a look at it and then give it to his concubine Chen Shuting to keep, as she may need it someday.

From the perspective of a small businessman, this is a great honor, respect, and opportunity!

Chen Caishen, who was standing next to Zhang Jianing, was very emotional about this. When he was penniless two years ago, the business cards he gave out were thrown away after being turned around by others. No one would put them into their handbags in front of them like Chen Shuting did.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm in the business of electric shavers. I heard that you're the only one that sells mobile phone batteries. Can I get some batteries from you?" A middle-aged man with an untidy beard was holding a large glass of white wine with a business card with black characters on a white background in his hands. "This is my business card."

Zhang Heping glanced at the factory name on the business card and said something extra for the first time, "If your factory's electric shavers use flame-retardant materials, you can go to Tingmei Trading Company to discuss cooperation after the new year."

"Thank you! Thank you Mr. Zhang! Thank you Mr. Chen!" said the lucky bearded man, drank the wine in the glass, and then was pushed aside by others.

You can’t blame the bearded man for being so excited. If he could get the rechargeable battery like the one in the mobile phone, the electric shavers from his factory could be upgraded to rechargeable shavers. That would be the world’s first rechargeable shaver!

Afterwards, merchants who made toys, radios, and pirated Walkmans all came to inquire about the situation of lithium-ion batteries, and they all received the same answer:

The battery costs 10 mg per piece, and the products using the battery must be made of flame retardant materials. If you accept this condition, you can go to Tingmei Trading Company for negotiation after the new year.

After the person who asked about batteries left, the person who was engaged in real estate came.

"Mr. Zhang, would you like to buy an office building?"

"Mr. Zhang, do you want a hotel?"

……

"Those people who sell houses are so abominable!" Chen Shuting, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, angrily said to her husband Zhang Heping on the right:

"They actually think we are stupid and rich, and want us to take over their property at a high position!"

"Humph! Why don't you go and ask how my husband started his business?"

Zhang Heping laughed and said, "Tell me, how did I start my career?"

Chen Shuting laughed and said, "Sister Xin said, speculating in real estate!"

"It's horse racing!" Zhang Heping looked out the car window dimly, "The one speculating in real estate is Ah Xin!"

"Oh, right, husband!" Chen Shuting seemed to have just remembered, "Sister Xin asked me that the price of the shops in Yau Tsim Mong has risen to more than 1 per square meter. Should I sell them? I estimate that I can get back 2.8 million Hong Kong dollars."

"Hong Kong Island's housing prices have reached their peak again..." Zhang Heping pondered for a moment and said, "Although we don't lack that little money, we can also keep it for compensation for demolition in the future, but if we know that the housing prices will fall sharply and we don't sell, I will really be a fool with too much money!"

"I'll tell Sister Xin when I get back, so she won't keep saying she can't help you make money." Chen Shuting explained the reason with a smile.

"Remind her to sell at a discount, otherwise she won't be able to sell them. Those small and medium-sized real estate developers have too many vacant houses. They don't understand the principle of too much is as bad as too little. They deserve to be swallowed up by the big real estate developers."

……

Early in the morning on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year on the 9th, Zhang Heping took his wife and children to send his parents to Kai Tak Airport and watched them leave on a commercial aircraft.

Once this day is over, the next time you wish to celebrate the New Year is in your old age.

Various factories have resumed work one after another...

News came that the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates again, approaching 20%!

The Eagle Country was not to be outdone and also raised the interest rate to 17%!

After Zhang Heping allowed the employees of each company to spend a peaceful New Year, he sent Heping to audit the accounts and also sent security personnel from the Umbrella Company to accompany him.

This time, regardless of whether the problem can be found or not, the sense of pressure must be maximized throughout the process to make the company's executives and financial officers feel fearful.

Thanks to the interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve, the Peace Group earned 23 million in interest on the 2.2 billion magnesium yuan in its account.

The interest rate was less than 10% because Zhang Heping deposited the money in short-term installments of 1 to 12 months.

The total liquid funds on the books of various companies amount to about 4 million US dollars; the prepayments on the account of Hong Kong Telecom cannot be counted as income until the mobile phones are delivered.

Otherwise, you will be taxed by the American hawks!

However, there are many areas that need to be spent in the future, such as the newly ordered 3000 wave power stations, which will cost 1.5 million magnesium yuan.

Then there is the reconstruction of lines and pipelines involving Island Electric, China Gas and Island Telecom, which requires Tingmei Trading to advance 5000 million magnesium yuan for materials and approximately 2000 million magnesium yuan for construction fees.

In addition, the lithium-ion batteries purchased in the first half of the year will cost at least 1 million magnesium yuan.

If the lithium-ion battery had not been expensive, Zhang Heping would not have agreed to allow so many toy factories, electronics factories, and small appliance factories to buy batteries from Tingmei Trading at the Chinese business gathering on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

The morning of February 2th!

Zhang Heping smashed an audit report on the desk of Trevon Frick, general manager of Island Telecom.

"Why is there a shortfall of 500 million Hong Kong dollars in the advance payment?" Zhang Heping, the Eagle country guy who had followed Shen Bi and others to Zhang's house years ago, looked at this indifferently.

Trevon hurriedly explained: "This is because the finance department exchanged Hong Kong dollars for magnesium dollars, and then exchanged magnesium dollars back to Hong Kong dollars. The loss was caused by the exchange rate fluctuations!"

"What the hell!" Zhang Heping asked angrily, "Which idiot asked the finance department to change positions?"

"Mr. Zhang, the finance department did this out of spite because he received a low bonus due to poor year-end performance evaluation, and he did it without the company's approval!" Trevon frowned at the Chinese man. Although he was unhappy, he still had to explain, "I have called the police to arrest him, but he insisted that it was just a mistake at work!"

"If calling the police would be useful, would I need so many bodyguards?" Zhang Heping's face darkened and he said in a cold voice:

"From today on, Chen Shuting will serve as the general manager of Hong Kong Island Telecommunications Company, and you will be demoted to assistant to the general manager, responsible for the financial affairs."

"If you make a mistake again, I'll send you to see the finance officer!"

As Zhang Heping finished speaking, a figure suddenly flashed past the window on the 8th floor!

Snapped!

Immediately afterwards, a scream was heard outside!

"Someone jumped off the building!"
