Break out of the courtyard

"Allow two systems? Hasn't this policy been proposed a long time ago?" Zhang Heping glanced at the Chinese businessmen gathering outside the villa with a little surprise, wondering why they were so excited.

Sitting in the living room, Zhongxin Rong Lao smiled and said, "When this policy was proposed before, it was targeted at Taiwan Island. This time it includes Hong Kong Island and Macau Island. The National People's Congress next month will clearly put forward this policy proposal."

"Oh!" Zhang Heping had known about this policy for a long time, so he acted calmly.

"Mr. Zhang, I heard that you have been busy building a factory in the mainland recently. Are you going to produce any new products?" The charter king asked with a smile.

"It's the computer hardware that was put up for bidding." Zhang Heping briefly explained, and then said to his father-in-law Tang Ming, who had just returned today, and the others, "Excuse me, I'm going to change my clothes first."

Just as Zhang Heping was about to go upstairs, the charter king hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhang, before I came here today, Chairman Shen Bi asked me to ask you when you are free."

"I'll call him later!" Zhang Heping raised his lips. Shen Bi and his team had been in the cold for nearly two months. Their laboratory must have confirmed the toxicology report.

I haven't heard of any restocking of Manliest pills recently, but distributors of male enhancement liquor have reported that a new pink aphrodisiac called "man up" has been added to nightclubs, red-light districts, and entertainment venues across the country, and its efficacy is similar to that of Manliest pills.

Therefore, Zhang Heping initially concluded that Man Up tablets were generic drugs made by the Americans by reverse-engineering Viagra tablets.

When Zhang Heping got the news, he was busy building factories in the mainland and Dior daily chemical matters and had no time to pay attention to them.

However, after Zhang Heping finished his shower and called Huifeng Bank Chairman Shen Bi, he found out that the other party was not talking to him about the new Viagra drug, but about the listing of Hong Kong Island Telecom.

The Eagle Americans saw that Hong Kong Island Telecom had more than 50 billion magnesium dollars in its account, and with the recent appreciation of the magnesium dollar, 1 magnesium dollar could be exchanged for 6 Hong Kong dollars, which meant that Hong Kong Island Telecom had increased its value by 21 billion Hong Kong dollars, making the Eagle Americans envious.

If the money is distributed to them according to their 32% shares, they will get about 16.3 billion magnesium yuan.

Dividends are allowed, but they cannot be distributed based on prepaid phone bills. Only the remainder of the annual service fees that have already been incurred can be distributed. This is the tone that Zhang Heping set for Hong Kong Island Telecom.

If the Eagles want to change this situation, they can only find a way to make Zhang Heping give up some shares and prevent him from controlling Hong Kong Island Telecom.

They never expected that Zhang Heping could have brought Hong Kong Island Telecom to such a prosperous situation today. If the mobile phone business was also under Hong Kong Island Telecom, they would probably come to the mountain to block the door every day.

Break the contract?

That’s not the case!

At best, they are just employees. At most, they will annoy Zhang Heping a few hundred times and ask him to give some money to the Financial Department to boost its performance. There is no need to anger Zhang Heping.

"Chairman Shen, I will not allow Hong Kong Island Telecom to go public until the 2G communication network in Hong Kong Island is built. Please tell the Financial Secretary not to just focus on the small profits in front of you."

"Mr. Zhang, our director is going to be promoted and transferred back to China. He hopes to have outstanding achievements during his tenure."

"Let's talk business. Chairman Shen, what benefits do you think the director can give me?"

“How about promoting the interconnection of the north and south power grids in Hong Kong Island?”

"Sure! But I want to retain 51% of Hong Kong Island Telecom's shares, and I will formulate a new company system that stipulates that the portion of prepaid phone bills that have not been used for service cannot be used for shareholder dividends, but can only be used for the company's business development. If you want to modify this system, you must obtain the consent of shareholders who hold 95% of the shares before you can modify it."

"No problem. After the Financial Secretary receives dividends from Island Telecom or sells shares, he can only use the money for the livelihood construction of Hong Kong Island. The Secretary himself will not touch the money. He has his own way of making money."

No one expected that just a short phone call would determine the fate of the China Light and Power Company in the northern part of Hong Kong Island.

The oil crisis is still going on, and China Light and Power's power generation costs remain high. It has already raised electricity prices three times for Kowloon and the New Territories under its jurisdiction.

On the other hand, although the electricity price in Hong Kong Island, outlying islands and other small islands did not drop during the day, the electricity price from 11 pm to 7 am the next day was directly reduced by 5%.

Hong Kong Island Electric Company stated that the discounts were intended to encourage Hong Kong's processing industry to reduce costs and improve competitiveness.

The real reason is that the first batch of shore-based oscillating water column wave energy power stations jointly built by Hong Kong Island Electric and Guangdong Energy Research Institute have been put into operation. Hong Kong Island Electric's daily power generation is more than enough and has begun to support Shenzhen's industrial production through the Guangdong power grid.

It is also because of the 5% discount on electricity in the evening that factory owners, nightclubs and other large electricity users in Kowloon and the New Territories jointly wrote a letter to the Hong Kong government, demanding that other power companies be introduced to compete and that China Light and Power Company be prevented from monopolizing electricity in Kowloon and the New Territories. They want democracy and freedom in electricity use.

Therefore, for the Financial Secretary, promoting the connection of the north and south power grids in Hong Kong Island is just a matter of course.

Zhang Heping agreed so readily, simply because he wanted to cash in on his shares in Hong Kong Island Telecom.

Zhang Heping has made Hong Kong Island Telecom famous and allowed more than half of Hong Kong Islanders to use mobile phones. The next step is for Hong Kong Island Telecom and telecommunications companies in other regions to use the prepaid phone bills on their accounts to purchase 2G communication technology and related equipment and consumables from Tingmei Trading Company.

Therefore, retaining 51% of the shares will be enough to control Hong Kong Island Telecom.

The party downstairs was still going on. Zhang Heping went out to deal with it, then took two snacks home to eat.

Then, I heard a group of old men in the living room discussing sending a few grandsons and granddaughters to study in the capital.

"Mr. Zhang, do you want to send your children to study in the capital?" The person in charge of China Resources suddenly threw the question to Zhang Heping who had just sat down.

When Zhang Heping heard them talking about going to the capital to study, he realized the deeper meaning behind it. Most likely, they were asking his children to go back to receive ideological and moral education.

However, he was very worried about the domestic security.

Earlier this month, an explosion occurred in a cinema in the mainland, also in retaliation.

"There is no ban on guns and explosives in the mainland." Zhang Heping smiled calmly: "You know, I am afraid of death."

Hearing Zhang Heping's noncommittal words, the head of China Resources knew it was not a good idea to ask any more questions. How could an outsider like him accomplish something that hadn't been done in the capital? It would be better for him to continue investigating where the Zhang family's technology came from.

Strangely enough, after foreigners investigated Zhang's laboratory to no avail, they believed that Zhang Heping had moved the laboratory back to China.

But the country is also having people investigate the Zhang family’s laboratory, which means that Zhang Heping’s laboratory is not in the country, which is intriguing.

There is information asymmetry between the two parties, and both are guessing where the Zhang family got their chips, communications, batteries and other technologies from?

"Speaking of guns!" The head of the Guo family changed the subject and said, "Mr. Zhang, have the five robbers who robbed the Hengchang Watch Shop in Tsim Sha Tsui on the 9th of this month been caught?"

"We need to ask the police about this!" Zhang Heping smiled and leaned back on the sofa. "Hengchang Watch Shop didn't hire security from the Umbrella Company, so we didn't pay much attention to it. We only knew that the five big circle boys ran back to the mainland."

"I heard that the five robbers used 5 pistols from the mainland, which are more powerful than the revolvers used by the Hong Kong police!"

"The Hong Kong police are becoming increasingly useless. A dozen people surrounded five robbers, but they still let the five robbers escape."

"What's the point of catching the robbers? They can't be sentenced to death. Why would the Hong Kong police risk their lives to catch the thieves?"

"I heard that a Hong Kong police officer died?"

"The person who died was a foreign auxiliary police officer. He hadn't figured out the ropes yet when he encountered this kind of thing."

……

Several well-known Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong were chatting about gossip in the Zhang family's living room. If the small businessmen outside the villa who were staring at what was happening in the living room knew about this, I don't know how many people would be shocked.

Small businessmen thought that when these top Chinese businessmen got together, they would talk about national affairs or the international situation, and then during the conversation, they would make some big deals.

The reality is that they communicate on national affairs, but the international situation is a bit confusing. Most business matters are communicated privately. Anything that is put on the table carries a sense of coercion and can easily offend people.

After those outsiders left, Zhang Heping was just about to read some newspapers quietly, but he didn't expect his father-in-law Tang Ming to bring up the old matter again.

"Heping, do you know why I asked Ah Xin to return to China to study after I returned to China?"

Hearing that it was about studying again, Zhang Heping felt annoyed for no reason. He put down the newspaper and went straight upstairs to give the cold shoulder.

As a result, when they went to bed, the two wives also talked about the children's reading problems...

The next day, early in the morning of the 27th.

While having breakfast, Zhang Heping asked his six children the question of whether or not to return to China to study.

As for the seventh child, Zhang Nuo, he had no right to speak because he was too young.

"I won't go. I have to participate in the Super Girl competition next year!" The second daughter Zhang Nan was the first to refuse.

"There are no computers over there, I don't want to go!" The eldest son Zhang Bei replied, and then buried his head in drinking soy milk.

"No!" The third daughter Zhang Nian and the fourth daughter Zhang Feng expressed their attitude in unison.

"It's very inconvenient to take a shower and go to the toilet there."

“Food in the capital doesn’t taste good!”

Finally, the two remaining 10-year-old chubby kids were concentrating on eating the dumplings and didn’t hear the question their father had just asked.

"They need to practice martial arts, so they cannot lack meat in their meals in the next few years." Zhang Heping emphasized the word "meat" and put the matter of returning to China to study aside.

Many times, plans cannot keep up with changes.

Zhang Heping originally supported his children to study in the capital, and after a few years, they could change their identities and go abroad to study. As long as they kept it confidential, they would not arouse the bad intentions of foreigners.

Now, this plan has been cancelled. What he is thinking about more is that his eldest son and second daughter are both 14 years old. In another four years, they will go to college...

At that time, how should bodyguards be sent?

After Zhang Heping and Chen Shuting left, Tang Xin and her father Tang Ming began to persuade Zhang Bei, Zhang Nan and others to go to the capital to study, but with little success!

That evening, Zhang Heping returned home after a busy day.

During dinner, the eldest son Zhang Bei looked at his mother and grandfather with dissatisfaction, and then asked Zhang Heping loudly:

"Dad, grandpa said that he wanted me to go to the capital to study so that he could share the political pressure for you. I don't understand what politics is, but as long as you say a word, I can go to the capital to study for a few years."

Zhang Heping touched his eldest son's head and said with a smile: "Politics is full of intrigues. I am not suitable for this, and neither are you. Therefore, there is no political pressure in our family."

"I'm just worried about how to protect your safety when you go to college and want your own personal space without bodyguards following you."

"I can bring a pistol for self-defense!" Zhang Bei said with a smile: "Uncle Wei taught me how to shoot, and sometimes I can hit the 10th ring."

"Let's eat first!" Zhang Heping picked up his chopsticks, glanced at his father-in-law Tang Ming who was hesitant to speak, and said with a smile: "Dad, Xiaobei and his friends are not suitable for officialdom. You don't need to persuade them, lest we hurt the relationship."

"Peace, you should know..."

"Stop talking!" Mother-in-law Xu Jiefeng stopped her husband Tang Ming and said sternly, "What you can think of, can Heping not think of it? If you want to enter the officialdom, let your grandchildren and great-grandchildren go to the capital to study."

……

With Zhang Heping's insistence, Zhang Bei, Zhang Nan and others enrolled in a school on Hong Kong Island, but they had one more thing to do in the morning and evening: martial arts practice!

Just as the little ones went to school, the North Soviet Alliance launched the largest military exercise in history.

The key point is that the North Soviet Alliance not only invited European and American military personnel to participate, but also openly regarded European and American as imaginary enemies and set the imaginary targets as multiple cities in European and American.

According to newspaper information from the North Soviet Union, the North Soviet Union Alliance sent more than 50 people to participate in the exercise this time, as well as a steel torrent consisting of tens of thousands of tanks and armored vehicles, and more than simulated targets for attack with inspirational bombs.

The North Soviet Alliance's exercise lasted only eight days, but it scared Europe and the United States so much that the newspapers were filled with negative words such as pessimism and inevitable defeat.

However, on September 9, the day after the North-Soviet joint exercise ended, the country took strong countermeasures and conducted a large-scale military exercise in North China to prepare for a possible northern war.

Decades later, this exercise was considered the largest military exercise in the country, and it fully demonstrated the determination to defend the country!

Because of this exciting news, Zhang Heping told his children during dinner that after they graduate from high school, they can consider serving as conscripts in the military for a few years.

As soon as he said this, he was opposed by his two wives. The world situation at that time seemed too much like the outbreak of World War III!

Both wives didn't want their children to join the army, thinking it was too dangerous.

Putting aside the uncertainty of the future, what Zhang Heping did not expect was that what motivated his children to actively learn martial arts was actually just a TV series:

The great hero Huo Yuanjia!

This TV series started broadcasting on ATV on September 9th.

In the eyes of martial arts masters like Zhang Heping, the fighting on TV is really unbearable. It's too slow and too fake!

But in the eyes of a group of little kids, especially their classmates, they are just studious.

Yes, it means exactly what it says. Watch martial arts TV series and learn every move of fake fighting.

The reason why Zhang Bei and Zhang Nan actively practiced martial arts was mainly because their skills were outstanding among a group of young people who vowed to learn martial arts and become heroes.

While following the drama, the second-biggest daughter, Zhang Nan, even wanted her father to go to the TV station to get the videotape so that she could give spoilers to her classmates.

However, Zhang Heping took into consideration that it was rare for ATV to surpass TVB in programming twice this year, so he did not call Manager Qu, lest the videotape be passed on in advance by his second daughter Zhang Nan.

By the way, ever since the CD products came out, pirated songs and movies have been produced in large quantities.
