Break out of the courtyard

"Ms. Suzuki, whatever you want!"

Zhang Heping said hello and went away.

This woman also heard the news about the personal computer and rushed over from Japan.

It’s not that Japanese people don’t celebrate the Spring Festival, but the New Year in Japan falls on the Gregorian New Year’s Day, and the Spring Festival holiday is from January 1st to 1rd.

Therefore, Miss Suzuki's visit here is not to work overtime during the Spring Festival.

However, she was able to enter the community because Zhang Heping took into consideration Chen Shuting's safety when she went to Japan in the future and deliberately let Chen Shuting establish a pro-Japan personality.

But this closeness is limited, at least the Japanese men outside the community gate are not allowed in.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Heping certainly would not talk about contracts or anything like that. He would just casually deal with other people's intention to cooperate and be done with it.

This year's Spring Festival, my father Zhang Bing and his nephews did not come, only my mother Ma Xiuzhen stayed from New Year's Day until now.

During this period, she also accompanied her second granddaughter Zhang Nan, who had made herself up to look ugly, to participate in a Super Girl audition.

Speaking of ATV's "Super Girl" program and the champion, runner-up and third place winners that have been popular for several months, TVB Wireless Television can't sit still and is clamoring to hold a new talent singing competition, with no restrictions on gender.

In response, Zhang Heping simply asked them to move the competition to the second half of the year to avoid the Super Girl program.

The crowds of people coming to pay New Year's greetings faded away, and the Zhang family's home became much quieter.

But as fireworks exploded over Victoria Harbour, the surrounding area became noisy again.

Zhang Heping later learned that the first fireworks show organized by the Hong Kong government was sponsored by Jardine Matheson Bank with more than one million Hong Kong dollars to celebrate its 150th anniversary.

By the way, after the accidental deaths of the five American Eagles, the chairman of Jardine Matheson and Wheelock and others became much more honest. At least their telephone conversations were not as frequent as before, so Zhang Heping did not notice anything unusual.

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Zhang Heping was busy again, testing servers, calibrating the database of Hong Kong Island Securities, building the Hong Kong government's official website, and the official websites of various companies under the Heping Group.

On January 1, Director Wang, looking tired, rushed to Hong Kong Island to deliver the last 31 mainframes of the month.

As she saw another use for computers at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Zhang Heping described the future of the stock market to her and others.

"Once Hong Kong is connected to the world network, stockholders will be able to buy stocks online without leaving their homes, which will speed up the flow of funds and make it easier for stockholders to obtain financial reports, announcements, rating reports, etc. of related stocks."

“Once all countries accept the world network protocol and connect together, the global financial system will be opened up, capital flows will break national boundaries, and drive the development of the world economy with unprecedented efficiency.”

"Of course, every advantage has its disadvantages. High efficiency can also lead to a major stock market crash, which requires further strengthening of supervision and the establishment of a protection mechanism."

Subsequently, 2000 new host computers and 2000 19-inch LCD monitors were given free of charge to Huifeng Bank and Standard Chartered Bank, and the protagonist also built a banking transaction system for them free of charge.

As 5000 free pies were distributed, as relevant experts from various countries rushed to Hong Kong Island upon hearing the news, as the Hong Kong Stock Exchange connected with Bank of China and Standard Chartered Bank and started simulated trading tests, a series of news that shocked the world spread from Hong Kong Island.

London BBC: This is a groundbreaking financial innovation.

New York Times: Hong Kong's financial sector challenges Wall Street's position.

Dongdu Asahi: Our semiconductors are one generation behind Hong Kong Island.

……

Zhang Heping pays attention to news from the outside world, but he still acts at his own pace.

First, he charged Hong Kong Island Telecommunications Company 2 million yuan in hardware, software, and technical service fees, allowing Hong Kong Island Telecommunications to add a "dial-up Internet access" service.

Secondly, he donated a total of 1050 personal computers to primary, secondary and tertiary schools in Hong Kong Island, and provided simple training to a group of teachers selected to teach computers, so that the children who learned how to use computers could go home and explain to their parents what computers are.

After most people had heard of personal computers, Zhang Heping invested 1 million yuan to open the global advertising curtain.

At the same time, invitations were sent to technology departments, major companies, and manufacturers around the world:

The first World Internet Conference!

The date is set for April 4st and the venue is the Hong Kong Island Hung Hom Sports Centre which was completed in August last year.

The reason why the date was set to April was mainly because the Hong Kong government’s funds were not in place, resulting in the interior decoration of the Hong Kong Coliseum not being completed.

Therefore, Zhang Heping paid out of his own pocket and took over the interior decoration of the Hong Kong Coliseum and the installation of security equipment.

……

“2月生产了7890套主机，3月产量能提升1万3千套，但婷美贸易公司已经签下30万套办公电脑！”主任王素梅对着话筒，激动地向首都那边汇报着。

"In addition, we have a batch of digital terminals, servers and other equipment. Our production cannot keep up, so we need other factories to support production!"

"All transactions are settled on spot. Tingmei Trading Company has sufficient cash flow. According to the news from Nanyang Bank, Tingmei Trading Company has 9 million magnesium yuan in its account!"

"Placing graduates from the Computer Science Department of Shuimu University in Zhang Heping's company? This..."

"Let me ask first. I'm not sure what Zhang Heping thinks. He is indeed in need of technical personnel and has started to hire Japanese people."

……

"Father, have you used the personal computer I checked back to China?"

Miss Suzuki, who followed Zhang Heping and silently observed what he did, was reporting to her father, the mayor.

"Yes, the operation is very simple and intuitive. Zhang Sang called it the Window of the World System, which means that through a personal computer, you can see the whole world."

"Yes! Our technicians from Japan Island are working with him to test Hong Kong Island's world network system."

"He did not hide anything and said that he would fully disclose the world's network protocols and related technologies at the first World Internet Conference, hoping to realize the global Internet connection as soon as possible."

"I don't understand his intentions, but I am sure that all the software on the computer was made by Zhang Sang and his eldest son. I saw it with my own eyes!"

"Father, Mr. Zhang is very short of manpower!" Miss Suzuki's voice suddenly became serious. "I suggest that we facilitate Huayingxiong Company to acquire Ridao Electric Company, and then let our people transfer to various companies of Heping Group through internal circulation, so as to master more technology!"

"I think it's very feasible!" Miss Suzuki said affirmatively: "After observing for some time, I found that he cares more about his family and doesn't care much about the company, technology, or making money."

"Thank you for your trust, father!"

……

As more and more personal computers are put into the Hong Kong market, and Hong Kong Telecom has recently opened up the world network for free, the test data of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Huifeng Bank and Standard Chartered Bank has soared.

As a result, these companies had to spend money to purchase more server equipment to ensure subsequent official operation.

As a result, Tingmei Trading Company's net profit in February was raised significantly: 2 million magnesium yuan!

The cash flow on Tingmei Trading Company's account reached an astonishing 13.278 billion magnesium yuan!

This number should have been a secret, just like the 30.05 billion magnesium deposits in the Peace Group's account, the 3.5 million magnesium annual interest, and the 2 million magnesium service fees recently paid by Hong Kong Island Telecom.

But Director Wang once let it slip that he asked Zhang Heping if he could invest 9 million yuan in the mainland...

Afterwards, Zhang Heping asked someone to use money for public relations in private and found out the account balances of several other companies from within Nanyang Bank!

To this end, Tingmei Trading Company switched its corporate account to Huifeng Bank, and asked Huifeng Bank to establish a branch in Shenzhen as soon as possible to facilitate its transactions with the mainland!

Compared with uncontrolled external banks, Huifeng Bank, which was audited by Heping Audit Company for the second time, appears to be much more formal and controllable.

Although Heping Audit Company still found many new banking problems, Huifeng Bank's attitude towards rectification was positive.

The corporate account issue is a small matter. The mainland wants to arrange some computer science graduates to come and work with him, which makes Zhang Heping a little worried. He doesn’t have a computer company, so how can he accommodate those graduates?

However, after Huaying Co., Ltd. spent 2 million magnesium yuan to buy 9% of Nippon Island Telecom's shares, Hong Kong Island Telecom used up the more than 50 billion yuan raised from the listing to buy 41.1% of Nippon Island Telecom's shares, becoming Nippon Island Telecom's largest shareholder.

In addition, Huaying Co., Ltd. spent 20 billion magnesium yuan to buy 21% of Nichima Electric's shares, becoming the second largest shareholder of Nichima Electric.

Zhang Heping found a solution to the problem. He sent the 2 graduates who graduated in February to work as interns at Nihon Telecom and Nihon Electric. Zhang Heping would only consider hiring those who were willing to stick to their original aspirations and stay.

Most of these graduates are middle-aged people in their 30s. Having experienced that special period, they are not very adaptable, which is their shortcoming.

After Zhang Heping's operation, Nippon Telecom and Nippon Electric also requested to send personnel to Hong Kong Island for study. Zhang Heping finally agreed and arranged them to Hong Kong Island Telecom, Hong Kong Island Electric, China Gas and other companies.

But if this happens, the capital will have objections.

Originally, the person was sent to work in Hong Kong Island, but was sent to Japan Island by Zhang Heping.

Not to mention that half of the graduates were unwilling to go, the mere fact that Japanese people were allowed to study at companies under the Heping Group made many people doubt Zhang Heping's motives.

In response, Zhang Heping did not make any explanation, but simply asked Director Wang, who has the final say on the affairs of the Heping Group?

Just this one sentence exposed Zhang Heping's idea of ​​not wanting to be controlled by the country, which made many people in the capital have a worse opinion of Zhang Heping, but they couldn't do anything about it!

Because Zhang Heping has the capital and technology to turn the table at any time and refuse to cooperate with the mainland!

Fortunately, the mainland is in the process of streamlining its institutions and personnel, and a group of elderly people who could not keep up with the reform and opening up have retired, which has reduced the pressure on Director Wang.

……

With 2 personal computers deployed in some industries on Hong Kong Island and connected to Hong Kong Telecom's global network, the first World Internet Conference was held as scheduled.

On April 1982, 4, April Fools’ Day for foreigners, the Hong Kong Island Hung Hom Sports Centre was packed!

A platform was built in the middle of the Hong Kong Coliseum, with twenty computers placed on it, for recognized experts in the computer field to sit on.

There are four LCD screens on the top of the Hong Kong Coliseum. Each screen is composed of six 4-inch LCD monitors, facing the four directions of east, south, west and north, allowing the audience to watch the real-time images of the computer used by Zhang Heping.

At 10:01 a.m., as Zhang Heping came on stage, the audience burst into warm applause.

The reason why those foreigners were excited was mainly because of the free technology that Zhang Heping was about to bring!

"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the first World Internet Conference!" Zhang Heping, as usual, served as the guest host.

"Without further ado, the first item of today's meeting is for everyone to join me in the Hong Kong Island Telecom Internet Voice Conference."

After he finished speaking, Zhang Heping operated the mouse, clicked on the penguin icon named QQ on the computer desktop, and then initiated a voice group chat invitation in the chat group.

After a formal online voice conference, Zhang Heping initiated another video chat invitation in the group, but the picture was very stuck and the sound was not as smooth as before.

"As you can see, due to the influence of network equipment, information transmission is not as fast as imagined." Zhang Heping smiled and glanced at the so-called experts who were studying the brain, then looked at one side of the audience and said:
