Break out of the courtyard

October 1982, 10, 5:19.

The domestic news broadcast was actually playing on the color TV in the Zhang family’s living room!

"Can we watch CCTV-1 here?" Director Wang looked at the TV in surprise.

Zhang Heping smiled and said, "I heard that the capital was trying to broadcast TV signals via satellite, so I made a small satellite receiver. The picture was unstable a few days ago, but I didn't expect it to be clear today."

"Heping, you pay attention to domestic affairs every day, why don't you want to invest in China?" Director Wang looked at Zhang Heping with a smile on his face and said meaningfully: "Shenzhen is selling commercial houses, but I don't see you buying a house in Shenzhen."

"You shouldn't ask me why I don't buy a house in Shenzhen, but you should find out how many Chinese businessmen want to immigrate abroad now."

After saying this, Zhang Heping put down the remote control, got up and went to the kitchen.

A moment later, Tang Xin, Chen Shuting and a group of children came back, followed by several sisters-in-law.

"Ah Xin, are you really not considering buying a house in Xindao? The house prices there are really cheap!"

"Your eldest brother also said that he was planning to buy a big villa in Taiwan."

"If you ask me, my brother-in-law must have left a backup plan in Japan Island. The property there has permanent ownership. Even if you can't stay in Hong Kong Island anymore, it's not bad to go to Japan Island."

Several sisters-in-law followed into the living room chattering, and when they heard Tang Xin and the others greeting Wang Sumei, they realized there were outsiders here.

When Director Wang was puzzled by Zhang Heping's words "How many Chinese businessmen want to immigrate abroad", he was confused by these big mouths again. Zhang Heping can't stay in Hong Kong Island... How could it be?

Just at this moment, the living room phone rang.

"Husband!" Chen Shuting covered the microphone and shouted to Zhang Heping at the dining table, "The group of people who were invited to the capital to watch the National Day performance are back. President He invited you to his house for a party. It should be about the Chinese immigrants."

"Tell him that our family is not immigrating. I'm busy with computer matters. Let's get together another day." Zhang Heping put down his bowl and chopsticks and invited everyone to eat.

Now it was the turn of the sisters-in-law to be confused. They heard the second wife of the eldest brother-in-law asked: "Brother-in-law, if you don't immigrate, aren't you afraid of that?"

As the second concubine spoke, she subconsciously glanced at Wang Sumei, who was wearing a gray Zhongshan suit, and obviously knew that she was from the mainland.

Zhang Heping said in a somewhat speechless tone: "It's still a long way to 97, what should I be afraid of?"

Director Wang Sumei took the opportunity to ask Chen Shuting in a low voice during the meal, and only then did she know what was going on among the Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong Island.

However, Director Wang was a little unsure about the concerns of those Chinese businessmen.

After all, she was a backbone of the nationalization movement in the 1950s.

If it were to happen in Hong Kong Island, Wang Sumei would not object.

As soon as the Zhang family finished dinner, a group of people came outside.

Leading the group was his father-in-law Tang Ming, whom he hadn't seen for a month, followed by his two sons and a group of Chinese businessmen.

"Heping, they want to talk to you about something." Father-in-law Tang Ming called Zhang Heping down from the second floor stairs. "Wait a minute, help persuade them not to immigrate."

"Dad, what you said is too arbitrary. They want to immigrate, how can I persuade them?" Zhang Heping frowned and replied. He didn't expect that such a bad thing would happen again.

According to Zhang Heping, if they want to immigrate, they can do so. It is their freedom and it is none of his business.

When the Chinese businessmen on Pingba saw Zhang Heping, someone immediately shouted, "Mr. Zhang, as the richest man in Hong Kong Island, please tell us whether we should transfer our assets in advance? Is it necessary to immigrate?"

"Don't shout nonsense. I'm not the richest man in the world!" Zhang Heping waved his hand, then walked down the steps to the flat ground outside the villa and said to the 40 or 50 people in front of him:

"Asset management is a science. It is your freedom to immigrate or not. We are all smart people, and not everyone will necessarily listen to what I say."

"So, I just want to remind you that it's still a long way to go until 97. You have plenty of time to think about whether to stay or leave. There's no need to rush."

"Mr. Zhang, you sold all your shops last year. Did you get any inside information?"

"Mr. Zhang, are you planning to use Japan Island as a retreat?"

"Mr. Zhang, the housing and land prices in Hong Kong Island have fallen sharply recently. Will you buy properties or land in Hong Kong Island again?"

……

"Everyone, please be quiet!" President He of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce stood next to Zhang Heping and said with a frown, "As Mr. Zhang said, we still have a long time to make a choice!"

"In addition, the idea of ​​two systems has been proposed. As long as we promote this idea to form a formal document in the future, we can dispel all your concerns!"

"So, don't panic, and look at the matter of return rationally!"

As soon as President He finished speaking, someone else asked anxiously, "Mr. Zhang, will you still buy real estate or land in Hong Kong Island?"

Facing the looks from the crowd, it seemed as if if Zhang Heping said no, these people would immediately immigrate.

Zhang Heping smiled calmly: "As long as the price is right, I will still consider selling low and selling high."

"Mr. Zhang, are you only considering real estate speculation and not living in Hong Kong Island for a long time?"

"I haven't thought about it yet!" Zhang Heping said impatiently: "Chairman He just said it very clearly. Only when the mainland issues a formal document can all concerns be dispelled. I am also worried about what you are worried about now."

"Everyone, please take your time to discuss. I have other things to do." Zhang Heping said, and turned back to the villa.

"That's it!" The head of China Resources stood up and said, "We will convey everyone's concerns back to China as soon as possible, but everyone should also realize that the two systems is a very bold idea and there is no precedent in the world."

"So, everyone needs to give the country some time, and this is also giving you some time."

……

Director Wang Sumei glanced at the Hong Kong businessmen outside and followed Zhang Heping to the study on the second floor.

"Are you worried about your property being confiscated?" Director Wang frowned and said, "So, you are unwilling to invest in China!"

"We don't invest in China because the domestic property rights are not clearly defined!" Zhang Heping sat in front of the computer, typing away on the keyboard with both hands, and also frowned, "Take the factories you manage as an example."

"We signed a compensatory trade agreement. Tingmei Trading Company invested 3.2 million magnesium yuan in advance to help you build the factory. In July, you said you wanted to expand the factory, and Tingmei Trading invested another 7 million magnesium yuan."

"From February to September, you made at least 2 billion magnesium yuan! Aunt Wang, when you took the money, did you ever think about deducting the funds invested by Tingmei Trading Company?"

“When you handed over the profits according to your personal preferences, did you ever consider the future of the factories below?”

After hearing what Zhang Heping said, Director Wang remembered that there was an agreement in compensatory trade to offset the initial investment with goods.

She was so happy about collecting the money that she forgot such an important clause in the agreement.

"We are old friends. I can wait for you to slowly remember the deduction, but what about other Hong Kong businessmen?" Zhang Heping stared at the monitor and frowned. "You saw the concerns of other Hong Kong businessmen at the door just now."

"Just a little rumor from the Eagles has caused them to sell their houses and land and threaten to emigrate."

Director Wang wanted to say something, but someone else came into the study looking for Zhang Heping, so she had to stand aside and pretend to read.

"Mr. Zhang, I heard that the Independent Commission Against Corruption has started investigating the Carrian Group." The head of the Guo family, who is in real estate, started the conversation.

Then, Zheng, Ma and others who were also in the real estate business spoke up and started talking about the gossip about the Jianing Group.

Zhang Heping frowned and typed the code, ignoring these people.

Not long after, Tang Wei, who received the message from Zhang Heping through the chat software, called a group of bodyguards to see him off.

"Mr. Zhang, we want to issue some additional shares and use the funds raised to buy commercial land in Hong Kong Island. Are you interested in subscribing for some?"

When this group of people were asked to leave, they finally explained their purpose.

But when the bodyguard saw that Zhang Heping didn't even raise his head, he forcefully asked him to leave.

……

Even though everything was made very clear on the evening of the 5th, there were still Chinese businessmen selling off their properties in Hong Kong Island in the following days, as if they were afraid that they would not be able to sell them.

When Zhang Heping came back from his trip to the Pearl River Delta, the property prices, house prices and rents in Hong Kong Island had been cut in half.

In addition, the Hong Kong government also took the opportunity to release the fiscal revenue and expenditure report for the first half of the year, predicting a fiscal deficit of billions of yuan this year.

In addition, some newspapers and magazines that were pessimistic were promptly stopped by Zhang Heping.

After a few days, the internal discussion meeting of the Tang family ended.

My brother-in-law Tang Ren went to Taiwan to purchase real estate and land in case of emergency.

My second uncle Tang Yi went to Xindao to prepare to move Hutchison Whampoa’s headquarters to Xindao.

As for the three generations of the Tang family, some took the money to go to various Southeast Asian countries, while others stayed in Hong Kong Island and were reluctant to give up the nightlife here.

Time flies and it is October 10th, the Huadu Autumn Canton Fair.

When Zhang Heping brought the computer system and anti-virus software that he had been perfecting for several months to the electronic equipment exhibition hall, he unexpectedly encountered computer hardware competition among China, Japan and magnesium.

Judging from the clothes worn by those who brought computers to the exhibition from China, they should be from a military factory. Their computers are priced at 9000 US dollars!

There are three Japanese companies selling computers, namely Hitachi, Fujitsu and Toshiba. Their quotes are the same, 3 US dollars, including the host and monitor.

On the magnesium side, manufacturers such as IBM, Apple, and Intel came and offered high quotes, ranging from 1.2 to 3 magnesium yuan.

The computers of Tingmei Trading were reserved in advance by the third generation of the Tang family, so the computers were brought here this time just to demonstrate the software.

After leaving behind several Tingmei Trading employees, Zhang Heping took his concubine Chen Shuting to visit other booths.

The computers produced by domestic military factories use technology obtained from Zhang Heping.

The key point is, they should still be supplying goods to Tingmei Trading Company!

So, Zhang Heping ignored them.

The computers produced by the three Japanese companies and the Chinese company mostly use technology obtained from the OEM factories of Nichima Electric.

However, the hard drives in their computers were produced by Tang Lie's three-in-one factory, and the monitors were all Japanese Sharp brands.

Regarding the hard drive issue, we should blame Zhang Heping for not making computer hardware technology public and thus keeping foreigners in suspense.

After leaving the electronic equipment exhibition hall, Zhang Heping went straight to the open-air car show outside.

Tingmei Trading has sold 88 electric bicycles, and the remaining 12 are still in a rented warehouse in Shenzhen.

Zhang Heping feels that electric bicycles are difficult to wholesale and they take up space.

Therefore, he brought the blueprints of the electric bikes this time, intending to order 10 electric bikes and deploy them in Hong Kong Island to test the waters.

Zhang Heping was a fairly honest person. He first showed the electric bike drawings to the people at the Modu Forever Bicycle Factory to see if they could continue the cooperation.

"Boss Zhang, are you really not selling electric bikes anymore?" A middle-aged man in blue overalls said in broken Mandarin. "I heard your electric bikes are selling very fast. Only 10 units are left, which were delivered last month."

"There are only 12 vehicles left, and they are not selling well!" Zhang Heping said this without considering other people's feelings at all.

He has sold 88 electric bicycles overseas and earned 1.7 million yuan, but he said it's not selling well!

The middle-aged man next to the booth didn't think it was difficult to sell, and asked excitedly: "Can our Modu Forever Bicycle Factory sell this electric bicycle?"

Zhang Heping asked with a smile: "Other factories want to sell our Tingmei Trading products, but they don't even ask us. They just produce them and sell them at the Canton Fair. Why do you think of asking me if you can sell them?"

The middle-aged man in blue clothes said embarrassedly: "The city has emphasized patented technology many times, saying that products produced using other people's patents cannot be sold abroad."

"Oh! When you produce that electric bicycle, remember to apply for a patent. I'm too lazy to apply." Zhang Heping said, pointing to the battery bicycle drawing on the booth, "Give me a reply as soon as possible. Only 10 units are needed for the first batch. If it doesn't sell well, we will switch to electric vehicles."

Seeing Zhang Heping was about to leave, the middle-aged man in blue hurriedly asked, "Boss Zhang, which factory produces the batteries for your electric bicycles?"

"Shencheng New Energy Battery Factory." Zhang Heping said, and copied a landline number for him as a reward for this middle-aged man's respect for patents.

In the afternoon, Zhang Heping brought Chen Shuting to the pharmaceutical exhibition hall. The booth of Nanla Town Pharmaceutical Factory was gone. Even Yan Gu and Xiao Niu were not there. There were no people from Jingcheng, and no one from Yundu was familiar to them. Things had changed...

Zhang Heping went to the food exhibition hall with regret. Tingmei Trading's tiger penis wine, Viagra delay spray, Tingmei slimming tea, and Taitai oral liquid were displayed as health products in this exhibition hall.

The booth here inherits Zhang Heping’s past sales methods, just give it away and that’s it!

The main reason is that these four products are not easy to try out on site, so the merchants can only take them back and try them slowly.

However, a person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree!

After all, Tingmei Trading started out by selling Xiongqi wine, and has accumulated quite a few old distributors over the years.

In particular, after Viagra was included as a prescription drug by health ministries in various countries and its many adverse reactions and toxicities were listed, most men no longer dared to take it as much as before.

Gradually, tiger penis wine and Viagra delay spray, which are known as herbal essences, have won the hearts of boyfriends and girlfriends because of their efficacy of half an hour to one hour.

No longer having to endure it for 4 hours as before, women are relieved and men are less tired.

After leaving the Tingmei Trading booth, Zhang Heping took his concubine Chen Shuting back to Hong Kong Island.

Dior's products are not displayed here because their positioning and distribution methods are different, so there is no need to bring them here.

However, Dior's image store still needs to be promoted.

For example, the Diorendo image store was bought by Zhang Heping, and after it was renovated, Director Xia introduced it to the ex-wife of the current CIA director as the general agent.

I haven’t found a general agent for Champs-Elysées and Fifth Avenue, and the construction for Huadu has not started yet. There is no need to find a general agent for Dongdu Ginza and Nathan Road in Hong Kong Island, I can operate it myself.

Finally, there are servers, routers and other equipment, which have never had trouble selling because of their low production volumes.

The key point is that this thing was installed on-site by Tang Wei, the technical manager of Umbrella Corporation, and the installation and debugging information in this regard has not been made public on the World Internet Forum.

So, when Zhang Heping returned home, turned on his computer, and entered the World Internet Forum page, he found a large number of protest posts.
