Break out of the courtyard

"They've all been persuaded to leave!" The first wife, Tang Xin, breathed a sigh of relief at the door of the study, and came to Zhang Heping's desk and asked softly, "Husband, why do those people suddenly want to emigrate?"

"A bunch of idiots scared themselves!" Zhang Heping said with a sneer, "The mainland just expressed its determination to take back Hong Kong Island. It didn't do anything else, but it scared those weak-willed people."

Jingle Bell……

"Hello!" Zhang Heping picked up the phone and listened for a while, then frowned and said, "Chairman Shen, how can an old building be as valuable as a new one...3% discount on bad bank debts?"

"If they pay back the money and take back the mortgaged property two years later, not only will I have waited for two years in vain, but I will also miss this wave of market!"

"Business is like a battlefield. I don't trust them when it comes to real money!"

"My conditions?" Zhang Heping tapped the table with his right index finger and said calmly, "I want all the newly allocated 5 square kilometers of industrial land in Kowloon Bay!"

"Their loan period was shortened to 6 months, with an interest rate of 36%. Huifeng Bank provided them with a guarantee. I lent them money at a 3% discount on the price of those old buildings. If they fail to pay back the money on time, the buildings will belong to me!"

"These are the two conditions... If you can lend me money, that would be even better..."

"Okay! I will definitely keep the fact that we are making money together a secret. At least I will not tell anyone about my purchase of land and buildings in the past six months."

Zhang Heping had just put down the phone when Chen Shuting, who was sitting behind the desk opposite him, couldn't wait to grab a calculator.

"25 dollars per square foot, 225 dollars per square meter, only 2.25 million Hong Kong dollars per square kilometer, 5 billion for 11.25 square kilometers, which is only 1.6 million Hong Kong dollars!" Chen Shuting was surprised and said, "Husband, did the Eagles really agree to sell us the newly planned industrial land in Kowloon Bay?"

"Chairman Shen hasn't replied yet." Zhang Heping looked at his first wife Tang Xin and reminded her, "Don't tell anyone about our purchase of land and buildings, lest the Eagles cause trouble for us."

"Uh!" Tang Xin was nudged by Chen Shuting's elbow, and she responded hurriedly.

"You can't tell them about the last six months, otherwise, the American guys will really go crazy!" Zhang Heping reminded again, then looked at the code on the computer monitor.

Chen Shuting originally wanted to ask what kind of building the old building was, but when she saw that her husband Zhang Heping had no intention of saying it, she guessed that it was because of the first wife Tang Xin, and was worried that she would let the cat out of the bag.

However, just after lunch, Zhang Heping received a phone call and took Chen Shuting to Huifeng Bank, where she saw the old building that Zhang Heping disliked the most.

“No low-rise buildings below 20 stories! No buildings without underground parking! No buildings built before 1970!”

While Chen Shuting was still looking through the building details handed over by the Eagle countryman, Zhang Heping had already thrown the stack of information on the conference table.

"Chairman Shen, the land and housing prices in Hong Kong Island have dropped so much, why should we spend money to buy these dilapidated buildings?" Chen Shuting said, throwing the documents in her hand onto the table in front of her.

"That's all their building information!" Shen Bi explained with a smile, then looked at the Eagles next to him and said, "Filter it according to Mr. Zhang's requirements."

Shen Bi looked at Zhang Heping again and said with a smile, "Let me ask you something. What are you going to do with the industrial land, Mr. Zhang?"

Zhang Heping leaned back in his chair and said casually, "I plan to build a nuclear power plant, and then a desalination plant to supply tap water to Hong Kong Island. I will also build a chemical plant to extract trace elements from seawater."

Shen Bi's lips trembled, and he forced a smile and said, "Mr. Zhang, don't joke around. Your cross-industry move is too big!"

Zhang Heping smiled back, "China Light and Power Company has invested 40 billion yuan in a joint venture with the mainland to build a nuclear power plant, which seriously threatens the future development of Hong Kong Island Electric. We have to build it."

Shen Bi frowned and said, "If you build a nuclear power plant, the Governor of Hong Kong will not dare to approve the land in Kowloon Bay for you. If a nuclear accident happens, no one will be happy!"

"What should I do?" Zhang Heping spread his hands, "You can't ask me to buy it to expand Kai Tak Airport!"

Zhang Heping revealed the concerns of the Eagle Country man in one sentence, which made Shen Bi silent for a long time.

"Why doesn't Mr. Zhang build a nuclear power plant on Lamma Island?" asked Shen Bi, chairman of Huifeng Bank again.

Based on what Zhang Heping had done before and the fact that he was rich, Shen Bi did not doubt the authenticity of the nuclear power plant.

"Lamma Island is already surrounded by shore-based oscillating water column wave energy power stations, and the island is not suitable for building water plants and chemical plants." Zhang Heping said indifferently: "If you are worried about nuclear radiation, can I consider applying for land off the island?"

Zhang Heping easily defeated the opponent!

"I have to ask about this!" Shen Bi was confused. He never expected that Zhang Heping would cross the border to build a nuclear power plant.

A man who sells aphrodisiacs is building a nuclear power plant?

After Shen Bi asked the Eagles in the conference room to speed up the screening process, he took his mobile phone and went out to make a call.

Not long after, the old man from the Eagle Country returned to the conference room with a smile, "The Governor said that if Mr. Zhang wants to build a nuclear power plant, he can build it on the eastern Niuweizhou Island, and build the water plant and chemical plant in Kowloon Bay or Tseung Kwan O. In this way, we only need to lengthen the cables."

"In addition, if Mr. Zhang needs technical support related to the nuclear power plant, we can help you contact the engineers in Eagle Country. They..."

"Forget it!" Zhang Heping waved his hand hastily. "There have been many accidents in your nuclear power plants. I don't dare to ask you to repair the nuclear power plants."

Zhang Heping's words made Shen Bi stunned, and even the Eagle people around him slowed down what they were doing and pricked up their ears to eavesdrop on the movement here.

"You haven't heard of it, have you?" Zhang Heping said in surprise, "Windskell Nuclear Power Plant, go back and ask around, even the Japanese know about it, and you don't know."

The accident at the Windskell Nuclear Power Plant that Zhang Heping was talking about was the major nuclear leak accident in 57. The extent of the harm was concealed and ordinary people were unaware of it.

He deliberately did not explain it clearly just to tease these Eagle Country people who were preparing to evacuate Hong Kong Island, to see if they could sleep well after returning to Eagle Country.

This group of Eagle Americans suspected that Zhang Heping was lying, but Zhang Heping's identity and net worth were there, which made them selectively suspect the domestic politicians.

The key point is that ordinary Eagle people don't know these secrets. People at Shen Bi's level have heard some of them, so they can only play deaf and dumb and get away with it.

Zhang Heping suddenly mentioned the nuclear power plant today. Of course, it was not just a casual remark, but he did have plans in this regard and needed to give a heads up to the Eagle country guys first.

Furthermore, with the current power generation capacity of Hong Kong Island Electric, it can temporarily support the electricity consumption of the freshwater plant and chemical plant, so there is no rush to build a nuclear power plant.

The latest exchange rate of magnesium dollar is 1 magnesium dollar to 7 Hong Kong dollars.

The newly allocated 5 square kilometers of industrial land in Kowloon Bay, just as my concubine Chen Shuting calculated this morning, is worth only 1.6 million magnesium yuan!

However, the Eagle countryman did not offer a good interest, so Zhang Heping signed an intention to buy land agreement and paid a deposit of 3000 million.

Then, under the pretext of giving Zhang Heping 12 months to raise funds, they were actually delaying the sale for the time being, so that other Chinese businessmen would not panic after seeing Zhang Heping buying the land!

The construction period of those high-rise buildings was limited to 6 months in accordance with Zhang Heping's request.

The main reason was that Zhang Heping did not choose a large number of buildings. He only selected 12 office buildings that he liked on the main road from Sheung Wan to Central, and borrowed a total of 15.3 billion yuan.

"Mr. Zhang, are you not considering buying land?" Shen Bi asked meaningfully.

Even though the Zhang family spent 16.9 billion magnesium yuan today, the Heping Group still has 55.65 billion magnesium yuan in its account.

The key point is that the money-making giant Tingmei Trading Company still has 26.26 billion magnesium yuan in its account, which makes a group of American people envious.

"I won't buy it. I need to save the money for the nuclear power plant." Zhang Heping took back the topic of the nuclear power plant he had mentioned before and put an end to it, temporarily allaying the concerns of the Eagle countrymen.

Shen Bi smiled and sent Zhang Heping and his wife into the elevator. Only after Zhang Heping and his wife left the Huifeng Bank building and got in the car did Shen Bi let out a long breath.

"Are you afraid that he will continue to acquire Huifeng Bank?" The chairman of Jardine Matheson, who had been silent just now, was standing in front of the glass window, watching the Land Cruiser bulletproof car going away downstairs.

Shen Bi saw that everyone else had left the meeting room, then he lit a cigar and said, "If he controls Huifeng, the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate will be difficult to adjust!"

……

"1, 2, 3...12!" The concubine Chen Shuting looked at the tall buildings outside the window and counted the buildings she had just bought one by one before asking the driver to turn around and go back.

Chen Shuting felt a little regretful that she had so much money but still didn't have her own headquarters building.

At this moment, there are 12 tall office buildings. Chen Shuting is considering which one to choose as the headquarters of Heping Group and how to decorate the interior.

"Go to the letter newspaper!"

Zhang Heping suddenly spoke, scaring Chen Shuting.

"Honey, why are we going to the newspaper office?" Chen Shuting asked puzzledly.

"Didn't the Jianing Group collapse?" Zhang Heping said with a smile, "I think this is because the stock exchange is not standardized and lacks supervision, and is irresponsible to countless shareholders!"

After hearing this empty excuse, Chen Shuting laughed and said, "You want to force those three stock exchanges to use the electronic stock trading system!"

Zhang Heping smiled without saying anything. If the electronic stock trading system was already online, why would he need to come out and buy a house? He could just buy the real estate company's stocks at the bottom online.

The full name of Sing Tao Daily is “Sing Tao Daily Financial News”, which is the most authoritative newspaper in Hong Kong Island.

Whenever Zhang Heping wanted them to publish some advertisements or articles, he had to communicate with the editor-in-chief in person. This got him so angry several times that he threatened to ban that stubborn old man, but he finally gave up.

The main thing is, it's rare to meet such a serious guy!

However, he went there not to publish an article, but to request an investigation.

After the president of Xin Bao called the editor-in-chief and editors-in-chief of each section, Zhang Heping started talking about his empty excuses again in this small conference room.

Finally, Zhang Heping said, "As far as I know, the collapse of Jianing Group has caused shareholders to lose tens of billions of yuan. You didn't follow up on this matter. You are negligent!"

"Why did the Jianing Group crash? What's the inside story? Are there any lessons we can learn from? As journalists, you have the responsibility to dig deep into these questions and make them public!"

"Mr. Zhang, do you know something?" The editor-in-chief surnamed Zhu looked at Zhang Heping sharply, "If you do, please point us in a direction, so that the reporters below won't be looking around like headless flies."

"I have met Mr. Zhang from the Jianing Group and Mr. Chen behind her a few times, that's all." Zhang Heping said, waving his hand and leaving the small meeting room.

When Zhang Heping returned to the car, his concubine Chen Shuting said with a smile, "Husband, I have notified the other five newspapers and magazines. They will shift the public opinion from the Jianing Group to the stock exchange reform."

"But aren't you curious about why Jianing Group crashed?"

Zhang Heping said casually: "What's there to be curious about? Most likely, the funding chain is broken. It's impossible that Mr. Chen has made enough money and voluntarily stopped!"

"Why not?" Chen Shuting smiled and raised her white mobile phone. "I just called Zhang Jianing and she said that Mr. Chen went back to Canada to be with his wife!"

"Huh?" Zhang Heping looked at Chen Shuting in surprise, "Zhang Jianing hasn't run away yet?"

"I advised her to turn herself in before, but she only went this morning." Chen Shuting said with a little concern: "She just paid the bail and came out. I don't know what will happen to her in the future. Husband, can we help her?"

"How can we help her? Help her escape from Hong Kong Island?" Zhang Heping frowned and asked, "Do you know how much trouble she has caused? Who has she offended?"

Chen Shuting didn't say anything else. For a moment, she felt that she and Zhang Jianing were somewhat similar, both like shields thrown outside by men.

However, after this thought flashed through her mind, she secretly cursed herself for being stupid because all the family's money was in her hands.

To put it bluntly, if she gets angry and refuses to sign one day, her man will be in trouble.

Thinking of this, Chen Shuting couldn't help but hug Zhang Heping's left arm, thinking that her own man was still the best, better in every way.

"If she is willing to tell you about the funds and stock operations of the Jianing Group, you can help her hire a better lawyer." Zhang Heping suddenly said.

"Really?" Chen Shuting looked at Zhang Heping with surprise.

"I asked you to contact Jianing Group because of this matter." Zhang Heping said calmly, "Only in this way can you remember it deeply. In addition, their operating methods may be useful in Japan."

"Hijima?"

……

On October 10, Director Wang, looking tired, came to Zhang's house and wanted to invite Zhang Heping to go to the new factory to debug the machines.

The Japanese supplied 9 computers to Zhang Heping in September and snatched 10 million yuan in payment from Zhang Heping, which has caused Director Wang to have trouble sleeping well recently. That money should have been theirs.

The Japanese received 3 million magnesium yuan in payment for the goods, Tingmei Trading earned 7 million magnesium yuan in net profit, and the rest was left to the distributors, who didn't even have to worry about after-sales service. It shouldn't be too easy for the Zhang family to make money, but Director Wang didn't think about it in this way.

"The Japanese people won't come to me for such trivial matters as debugging the machine." Zhang Heping asked the nanny to bring a bowl of Tremella soup, and then smiled at Director Wang: "Do you know what they talk about most when they see me recently?"

After Director Wang Sumei took the bowl handed over by the nanny, she looked at Zhang Heping in confusion, "What did you say?"

"Ask me if I want to buy some more shares of Nichia Telecom and Nichia Electric!" Zhang Heping said, turning on the TV. "You can rest here for two days and let the technicians in the factory debug it themselves."

Director Wang was still thinking about what Zhang Heping had just said, and asked in confusion: "Didn't you already buy their stocks? Why did they ask you to buy more?"

"Property rights!" Zhang Heping said calmly, "Only when I have absolute control over the two companies, Nichia Telecom and Nichia Electric, will I feel comfortable giving the new technology to these two companies, and only then will the people of Nichia get the new technology more easily."

Director Wang frowned and asked, "You want shares in those domestic factories?"

"Shares of domestic factories, haha..." Zhang Heping shook his head helplessly, "You can't even apply for funds to expand production, how come you still don't understand the property rights issue?"
