Chapter 515: Visiting the Nichima Nuclear Power Plant

It was around 9 o'clock when Zhu Chengguang, manager of the Umbrella branch, arrived at the golf course.

After he explained his purpose to the guard at the door, he and his two men were allowed into the hall, but they were not allowed to enter the stadium to look for people. The guard did not help them call for help either, obviously not wanting outsiders to disturb the conversation on the stadium.

By the time Zhang Heping and his friends came back from playing a par round, it was almost 1 p.m.

After meeting Zhu Chengguang, Zhang Heping greeted the former mayor Suzuki and went to a corner with Zhu Chengguang.

As Zhang Heping expected, Zhu Chengguang came for the two old experts.

However, because more than five hours had passed, the two old men had already called home and passed the news to Director Wang.

Zhang Heping used Zhu Chengguang's black flip phone to call Director Wang back, said a few simple words, and then hung up.

Afterwards, Zhang Heping walked towards the Suzuki family, apologized, and declined the lunch that had just been agreed upon at the stadium, citing company matters.

After Zhang Heping left in the car, old man Suzuki, who was standing at the entrance of the stadium, turned sideways to look at his third son-in-law and asked, "What do you think of this man?"

"There seems to be no ulterior motive in his words, but there is calculation in his every move. It reminds me of a word they use, 'open conspiracy'!" Congressman Aso replied respectfully.

Old man Suzuki looked at his son-in-law who had made great progress and said seriously, "You just discussed the matter without jumping to conclusions. This shows that you have learned to hide some of your thoughts."

"Do a good job of accompanying Zhang Sang these few days. The companies and consortiums behind the factories that benefit will remember you as the matchmaker."

"Father, what if he does something to harm us..." Miss Suzuki looked at her husband with some concern.

"If no one provokes him, those things won't happen." Old man Suzuki frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Pay close attention to the movements of the District Prosecutor's Special Investigation Department and Mitsubishi in the next few days. We can't let those guys do anything bad!"

……

On the way back, Zhang Heping first called the driver Xiao Zhu. After learning that he had bought tickets for the two old men to fly to Hong Kong Island at 4 pm, he hung up the phone.

Then, Zhang Heping called Director Wang again.

"Auntie Wang, this is the communication network of Japan Island, so it is not convenient to explain in detail." Zhang Heping said in a deep voice: "Those two stubborn old men are on the flight to Hong Kong Island at 4 pm today."

"There's nothing much to say, just three words: disobedient!"

After he finished speaking, Zhang Heping hung up the phone.

"Damn it! I was humble last night and asked them to call me Xiao Zhang, but they really think they are the boss!" Zhang Heping snorted in dissatisfaction.

Zhu Chengguang, the manager of the Umbrella Japan branch, didn't dare to respond to this, and didn't even dare to mention the fact that his nephew borrowed the phone to call the two old men.

This was not just an angry remark; it was clearly a decision he made after being extremely angry for a night.

That stubborn old man Li didn’t know that Zhang Heping was born in the year of the donkey and that one shouldn’t argue with him!

After the scene in the mall last night, Zhang Heping suppressed his temper and picked out clothes for each of them. Before going to bed, he asked the driver Xiao Zhu to remind them to change into clothes the next morning!

He originally thought that since all the clothes were bought, the two old men would have no excuse to save money.

He never expected that two unknown technicians in the country would dare to ignore his words, completely disrupting his plan to visit a nuclear power plant owned by Mitsui this afternoon.

More than half an hour later, Director Wang called again and discussed with Zhang Heping to keep the nuclear power expert named Zhou.

Zhang Heping frowned and thought about it. Old man Zhou only said a few words during dinner last night, and didn't speak to him since they went to the mall.

"Heping, they say that Lao Zhou is easier to talk to than Lao Li. He will definitely not go against you!" Wang Sumei's almost flattering voice came from the phone.

"Okay! Give that old Zhou another chance." Zhang Heping followed Director Wang's words, giving himself a way out and letting Director Wang get away with it. "

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Heping called the driver Zhu Yunsheng who was waiting at the airport and told him to leave Old Zhou behind and let Old Li fly back.

Finally, Zhang Heping called Wei Chunqiao in Hong Kong Island and asked him to arrange to pick him up at the airport.

That night, Zhang Heping went to the mall and bought two more sets of clothes.

This time I went, I didn’t invite Old Zhou.

Two days later, Zhang Heping went to Dongdu University to give a World War II history class and visited Mitsui's home appliance, medical equipment, office electronic equipment manufacturing plants, and chip factories, but did not bring Lao Zhou with him.

May 5th was Zhang Heping’s fifth day in Rijima.

According to Congressman Aso who came to make a scene, Zhang Heping was allowed to visit two nuclear power plants belonging to the Nichima Touto Electric Power Company, a state-owned enterprise, today at the lobbying of his father-in-law.

Zhang Heping changed into the gray work clothes brought by Congressman Aso, and got into the white sedan driven by Congressman Aso, who was also wearing gray work clothes, together with driver Xiao Zhu and nuclear power expert Lao Zhou, who were also wearing the same clothes.

Councillor Aso, who was driving, was stopped by Zhang Heping because he kept turning back to talk. Zhang asked the driver Xiao Zhu to switch to the driving seat and let Councillor Aso sit in the passenger seat to give directions.

The three people in the car were communicating in Japanese, which made Mr. Zhou, who was sitting on the right side of the back seat, a little confused. He never expected that there would be no translator in this situation.

"The nuclear power plant in Tokai Village is the oldest nuclear power plant on our island of Japan. It uses the graphite-moderated carbon dioxide-cooled reactor made in Japan that was first put into practical use in the early 60s." Congressman Aso looked at the road ahead and turned back from time to time to introduce the first stop of the day.

"However, because the cost-effectiveness was not high, they did not import this type of reactor from Eagle Country anymore, and instead switched to light water reactors."

"It's because of the nuclear leak!" Zhang Heping said with a smile, "The Windskell Nuclear Power Plant in Eagle Country has experienced many safety accidents since the core melted in 1957 and the graphite in the reactor caught fire, which led to the spread of nuclear radiation."

Councillor Aso was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: "Zhang-san is well-informed. This is the first time I've heard of an accident at a nuclear power plant in Eagle Country."

Zhang Heping didn't care whether the other party's words were true or not and continued to let Congressman Aso introduce.

"Our Atomic Energy Research Institute of Nichima is also located in Tokai Village. After visiting the nuclear power plant and the institute, we will go to visit the Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant in Kashiwazaki City, Niigata Prefecture, to the west tomorrow."

"The Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant is under construction, using a boiling water reactor and an improved boiling water reactor, and is expected to be put into operation in two years."

"It is said that after the completion of the Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant, the total power will reach more than 800 million kW, which will be the largest nuclear power plant in the world!"

……

After listening to Congressman Aso's introduction, Zhang Heping felt that his efforts over the past two days were not in vain.

If he had not answered those factories' questions, or even made fewer suggestions, he would not have received the treatment he is receiving today.

"Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Aso. These two nuclear power plants, one old and one new, are very suitable for reference and comparison." Zhang Heping responded with a smile.

Congressman Aso hurriedly explained: "I don't have such great ability now. It was my father-in-law who helped me communicate."

"I understand!" Zhang Heping nodded as if accepting the favor, and said with a smile: "Next time I go to Dongdu University to give a lecture, I must bring some gifts to thank Suzuki-san and Aso-san."

After driving for more than two hours, the four people finally arrived at the Tokai Nuclear Power Plant on Rijima Island.

After Zhang Heping and his team were allowed to enter the Donghai Nuclear Power Plant, he began to explain the situation of the nuclear power plant to Lao Zhou.

After taking a tour inside the East China Sea Nuclear Power Plant, Zhang Heping suggested taking a walk along the nearby coast before going to the Nippon Atomic Energy Research Institute.

As for Old Zhou, who was holding a small notebook and writing and drawing, Zhang Heping just glanced at his abstract paintings and didn't pay any attention to him.

The painting is so ugly. If this is suspected of leaking secrets, Zhang Heping will have to have a serious talk with the Japanese!

……

Lao Zhou doesn’t understand Japanese, so he can only record what he sees through his abstract painting style.

I just don't know what he remembered during the two-day visit to the nuclear power plant.

After returning, how much content can he restore?

However, this has nothing to do with Zhang Heping.

He came to Japan to inspect the nuclear power plant, one purpose being to stimulate the China Light and Power Company in Hong Kong.

After the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant project was approved, China Light and Power Company suddenly withdrew, saying that it would wait until the ownership of Hong Kong Island was finally determined before starting construction.

The subtext is that the ownership of Hong Kong Island has not been negotiated, haha...

Second, Zhang Heping needed to find endorsement for his nuclear power plant technology so that others would not think that his technology came out of thin air.

As for whether the nuclear power technology he will bring out in the future will be said to be stolen from Japan, it depends on whether the Japanese people have self-knowledge and the courage to stand up and clarify the matter.

However, the visit to the Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant under construction arranged by the former Mayor Suzuki was a bit of a waste of time.

Because Zhang Heping did not consider using a boiling water reactor, or a modified boiling water reactor!

Third, his first wife, Tang Xin, would be turning 7 on July 2, and Zhang Heping came out to choose a birthday present for her.

After choosing and choosing for several days, he still couldn't make up his mind.

The main reason is that he never gave any gifts to his two wives.

The cosmetics she uses are Dior, which is produced in-house.

Even the handbags and luggage that women like to carry are available in Dior stores. They are more fancy and beautiful than the bags sold outside, and most importantly, they are bulletproof!

Let’s choose jewelry...everything I look at seems tacky!

The goose egg-sized gem necklace in the movie... Zhang Heping asked a jewelry company in Japan, and they said that thing was in short supply and he had to try his luck at an auction.

Or, buy it directly from a collector.

As for Japan, the royal family must have had those collections before the war; but after the war, they announced to the public that they were gone, absolutely gone!

Speaking of collections, Zhang Heping immediately thought of the Great Eagle Museum, and then the collection of the Eagle Royal Family...

"Damn it! If it weren't for the fact that my presents might be displayed in public on my birthday, I would really like to go to the Pirate King's treasury and pick one out!"

Zhang Heping and his driver Xiao Zhu left another jewelry store.

Seeing Zhang Heping walking towards the parking lot, Xiao Zhu asked in confusion, "Boss, you don't want to choose anymore?"

"I won't choose anymore!" Zhang Heping said as he walked, "I'll go back and make one myself!"

After he finished speaking, Zhang Heping entered the jewelry store next to their parking space and picked out a set of gold jewelry for each of his two wives, four daughters, and mother-in-law Xu Jiefeng.

To be honest, Zhang Heping owned too much gold before and didn’t have much feeling for gold jewelry. He mainly valued its value preservation.

Zhang Heping got on the bus carrying the gift bag and said to the driver, Xiao Zhu, with a smile, "If we don't go back, I guess Lao Zhou won't remember what he drew."

"Haha!" Xiao Zhu echoed and started the car.

……

The next day, February 5th.

Zhang Heping rushed back to Hong Kong Island from Japan today. Not only because of the special date, but also because his third daughter will be participating in the top 3 of the 8rd Super Girl tonight, and he has to bring his family to support her.

However, after returning to Hong Kong Island, Old Zhou suddenly became shameless. He shamelessly got into Zhang Heping's car and begged Zhang Heping to help him complete the drawings of the Nippon Island Nuclear Power Plant.

"Old Zhou, in my opinion, the two nuclear power plants on Ridao are too backward." Zhang Heping looked at the nuclear power expert sitting next to him and said:

"The nuclear power technology that China has imported from France and the United States is about the same as that of Japan and the United States. You can just stay in Daya Bay and study their technology."

"Comrade Zhang!" Old Zhou's wrinkles were all squeezed together, and he said with a bitter face:

"Whether it is backward nuclear power technology or advanced nuclear power technology, we don't have it in our country."

"As long as we can bring the structural diagram of the Nichima Nuclear Power Plant back to China, we can fill some of the domestic technical gaps. You are young and have a good memory. I just need you to help me improve it..."

"I'm busy!" Zhang Heping was still thinking about his first wife's birthday present, so he wouldn't waste time on abstract drawings that he thought were meaningless.

"It's okay! It's okay!" Lao Zhou said hurriedly, "I'll draw the blueprint first, and then give you a copy. When you have time, just add it to the blueprint based on what you remember."

Zhang Heping looked at the old man whose mind was full of the word "drawings" in silence, "Old Zhou, let me emphasize again, the nuclear power technology of the Japanese is too backward in my eyes. I don't want to waste time perfecting your drawings. That is your own task, don't bother me!"

"Oh..." Old Zhou sighed helplessly.

During this trip to Japan, Lao Zhou never expected that Xiao Zhang could speak Japanese. He didn't even bring an interpreter with him throughout the trip.

If Zhang Heping had not explained each key location to Lao Zhou after entering the nuclear power plant, his trip would have been in vain.

In order to complete the task, Old Zhou, who didn't remember much of the content, shamelessly wanted to ask Zhang Heping to help him complete the drawings.

Unexpectedly, after the other party politely declined, he actually directly pointed out his task, and the rejection was too straightforward!

"He is from China Resources. If you follow him, he will send you back to the mainland."

As soon as Zhang Heping finished speaking, the door on Lao Zhou's side was opened by the bodyguard.

"Comrade Zhang, you said that the nuclear power plant technology in Rijima is backward. Then which nuclear power technology do you think is advanced?" Old Zhou looked at Zhang Heping unwillingly.

Zhang Heping looked at the roadside scenery outside the left window and said calmly: "You don't have enough authority!"

This answer left Lao Zhou stunned for a long time, and he didn't even notice how he got off the car.

……

Zhang Heping did get rid of Lao Zhou, but as soon as he returned home, Director Wang called him.

"You little brat, Lao Zhou said you didn't hire a translator. He only remembered the building layout of the Nichima Nuclear Power Plant and the location of the equipment, but didn't understand anything else."

Zhang Heping handed the gift to his first wife Tang Xin, covered the microphone and told her to divide it, then said to his eldest brother's mobile phone:

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand it. The boiling water reactor on Nishima is just so-so. It's not as economical as the molten salt reactor."

"Also, the nuclear power technology introduced from Yingfa is about the same as that from Japan, so let them study that one."

Director Wang paused for a moment and asked, "From what you said, you want to make a molten salt reactor?"

"We're still studying it and can't be confirmed yet. Besides, I'm busy recently and have no interest in helping others complete tasks! I'll hang up first!" Zhang Heping heard an unusual noise next to Director Wang, and guessed that there were other people there, so he simply hung up the phone.

"Dad, this gold necklace is so ugly!"
