Break out of the courtyard

Zhang Heping's two twin sons were sitting by the coffee table, watching their two mothers and three sisters dividing the jewelry. When the fifth son, Zhang Long, was looking through the other gift bags, the sixth son, Zhang Hu, couldn't help but ask, "Dad, aren't there any gifts for us?"

"I buy it for you, but do you dare to wear it?" Zhang Heping said something that surprised the two little guys and went upstairs.

The fourth child Zhang Feng, who had just complained that the gold necklace was ugly, handed the necklace to the sixth child Zhang Hu and said with a smile: "Sixth brother, if you dare to wear it out, this set of jewelry from sister will be given to you, hehe!"

"Fifth brother, do you want to try it on too?" The third lady, Zhang Nian, also handed over her necklace.

"Hmph... Dad is partial!" Little Five Zhang Long dropped the gift bag, took his twin brothers back to the TV, and started playing the game on the Famicom controller again.

Not long after, the eldest son Zhang Bei, who was working on computer programming in the study, was called down by his father.

"Brother, stop looking, it's not for you!" Little Five Zhang Long said dissatisfiedly.

"Our father favors girls over boys and didn't bring any gifts for the three of us." Little Six Zhang Hu turned his back to the woman at home and had some complaints with her.

Zhang Bei ignored the two younger brothers who were about to turn 12 years old. He just glanced at the gold jewelry on the coffee table and sat on the sofa to think about the previous procedures.

When his father Zhang Heping came downstairs, Zhang Bei hurriedly threw all the programming problems that had accumulated in recent days to his father.

Because the third daughter, Zhang Nian, had a competition tonight and had to put on makeup before the game, the Zhang family had dinner a little earlier.

"Grandma, I'm going to the competition!" Before leaving, the third daughter Zhang Nian did not forget to call her grandmother Xu Jiefeng who was far away in the capital, "Xiao Wu will be in charge of recording the video. You can watch my competition when you come back!"

As for Grandma Ma Xiuzhen, she can only be a spectator and cannot give stage performance advice like the big star grandmother she once was.

The Zhang family had 10 people traveling, including 10 bodyguards, 6 drivers, Wei Chunqiao, the general manager of Umbrella who insisted on going with them, and Tang Hu, the manager of the security department, so they drove 7 cars in total.

When Qu Zhouping, the general manager of ATV, learned that the big boss Zhang Heping was coming, he waited at the door of the TV station early with a beautiful actress.

However, what he didn't expect was that several real estate developers came up to him and talked to him about random things, and their ultimate purpose was to wait for Boss Zhang.

Seeing the Zhang family's motorcade arrive, those real estate developers were even more enthusiastic than Qu Zhouping. They actually trotted over and tried to open the car door, but were stopped by the bodyguards who got out of the car.

Are you kidding? Bodyguards usually have only a few jobs to do. If such an important job as helping the boss open the car door is snatched away by an outsider, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?

"Good evening, Mr. Zhang!"

"Mr. Zhang, we came here today specially to support your daughter."

"Don't worry, Miss San. We have asked our staff to wait in front of the TV. As soon as you come on stage, the telephone voting will not stop!"

……

"Mr. Zhao, Mr. Li, Mr. Liu..." Zhang Heping smiled and stretched out his right hand, shaking hands with the real estate developers who were blocking the door.

Zhang Heping guessed that these people wanted to participate in the construction of houses at Central Plaza.

Because he had to meet deadlines, Zhang Heping did not object to these real estate developers who were actively trying to find connections to attract business.

However, Zhang Heping accurately called out these people's surnames, which made these real estate developers very excited.

"Boss, everything has been arranged!" Manager Qu from the TV station came over and reported to Zhang Heping in a low voice: "Chairman He and his team have already gone in."

Zhang Heping raised his hand and called his third daughter Zhang Nian to the side, then said to Manager Qu: "Today, I will give my third daughter the first place. She will sing on stage with her sister in the finals next month, and will not participate in the final ranking of champion, runner-up and third place."

"Okay, boss!" The music manager of Rediffusion TV responded, then looked at Zhang Nian and said, "With Miss Third's singing skills and the lyrics written by the boss, there's no need to say hello to the No. 1."

"And the music was also composed by my dad!" Zhang Nian corrected.

"Yes, yes, yes! Look at my mouth that can't speak!" Manager Qu bent over and pretended to slap his right cheek.

"Go in first!" Zhang Heping did not give the other party time to continue flattering him, and walked in with his family and bodyguards.

They first went to take a look backstage, then left three female bodyguards to accompany the second daughter Zhang Nan and the third daughter Zhang Nian backstage, while the others went to the second and third rows of the audience seats.

During the auditions in January this year, Zhang Nian started with an Eagle Song "When You Believe" that she had sung since she was a child.

The song used in February was "Old Poems of Mountains and Rivers". This kind of song with opera singing style is still very controversial in this era.

Among them, the loudest opposition came from the theatre troupes in Hong Kong.

Yes, opera singers were still very popular at that time, and TV stations even had special opera channels.

However, those dissenting voices were greatly weakened when they reached the Zhang family, mainly because they couldn't afford to offend them!

The song Zhang Nian sang in March was "Fairy Tale Town", and the song she sang in April was "Little Love Song". The song she is going to sing today is "I Like You", which has been popular for many years.

The song scheduled for next month is a duet between Zhang Nan and Zhang Nian, "It's You".

Whether it was stage performance, the tone of lyrics, or canvassing for votes, the Zhang girl never lagged behind others. It was only because of Zhang Heping's request that she just went through the motions in the finals and did not compete with other girls for a spot.

When President He saw Zhang Heping sitting in the third row, he quickly moved to sit behind Zhang Heping and asked, "Mr. Zhang, how did you gain from your visit to Japan?"

"Normally!" Zhang Heping turned his head and glanced at President He, then said with a smile, "How come you busy people have time to come and see me take care of the kids tonight?"

Chairman He leaned forward and said softly, "To be honest with you, Mr. Zhang, after Mr. Chen talked to me about building the building, our company held a meeting to discuss that if we want to complete the building and renovation within a year, we need to outsource some of the work."

After he finished speaking, President He glanced at the real estate developers sitting in the back and said with a wry smile, "I don't know which employee leaked the information, but they knew about the outsourcing."

"Mr. Zhang, there are two options now. One is for our company to be the general contractor. I will use my reputation to guarantee that the project will be completed on time, with quality, quantity and schedule. The other is to hold a bidding meeting and divide the tasks among them, but you will need to arrange someone to coordinate all parties."

Zhang Heping also looked at the real estate developers behind him and said with a smile: "They are all people who usually drink together. Chairman He will organize and coordinate. After you have discussed it, sign the general contract with me."

President He quickly extended his right hand and shook hands with Zhang Heping, "Thank you for your trust, Mr. Zhang."

"Wish us a happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

Seeing President He and Zhang Heping shaking hands while chatting and laughing, the real estate developers sitting in the back subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though the share prices of real estate stocks in Hong Kong Island have risen, the property market in Hong Kong Island is still sluggish.

As long as the issue of Hong Kong Island’s ownership is not clarified, there will be variables.

Even if there were rumors that Eagle Capital was hoarding land in Hong Kong Island, they were just rumors.

During this period, there were a few Chinese businessmen who took advantage of the rising stock prices and secretly sold off their own company's stocks. They then lent the money to their own companies, secretly acquired land and houses, and then mortgaged the deeds and land to themselves. They then turned around and took the money to the bank for financing, and repeated this cycle, risking their entire fortunes.

Zhang Heping, who makes a fortune every day, has already passed the stage of primitive capital accumulation.

He now even looks down on cash cows like Island Electric and China Gas. He is determined to fire the management of these two companies and force his concubine Chen Shuting to reorganize the company.

Therefore, although Hong Kong Island seems calm now, there are undercurrents underneath; we cannot blame those real estate companies for rushing in with a shameless face when they see big projects.

You know, when housing prices are low, they can only keep the company alive so that they can stand in front of others with dignity in the future.

As for Central Plaza, as the land was leveled and reclaimed land was added, just by looking at that piece of vacant land, one could imagine how big a thing the Zhang family was going to do there.

So, on the second day of the Super Girl quarterfinals, director Wang Sumei was forced to work and came to Hong Kong Island again.

However, her first task today was to follow the small cruise ship arranged by China Resources Company to inspect the open space near Central Plaza.

"Zhang Heping can't build a nuclear power plant here!" Wang Sumei looked at the person in charge of China Resources and said, "You are also a businessman, you should know the value of this piece of land."

The person in charge of China Resources shrugged and said, "When the higher-ups ask questions, we can only bring people here to take a look on the spot."

After the words were spoken, both men frowned and looked at the dozen or so men and women wearing blue and gray cloth clothes on the other side of the ship.

"Alas..." Wang Sumei sighed, "Actually, I just wanted to find an excuse to come here!"

Then, both of them fell silent.

……

"Is this where the big capitalists live? It's not quite like the manors and castles described in the books!"

"Be careful with your words! Pay attention to foreign affairs discipline!"

Director Wang Sumei glanced at the two people behind her who were speaking the Shanghai dialect. She didn't understand what they were saying, but when she saw that they didn't say anything else, she put the matter aside for the time being.

Because Wang Sumei brought a lot of people this time, and Zhang Heping did not come out, and the Zhang family's children were at home on the weekend, the guard called a few more bodyguards to escort them.

"Auntie Wang, what are you doing..." Tang Xin was standing outside the villa. When she saw the dozen or so mainlanders brought by Wang Sumei, she was stunned.

In fact, the coarse cloth clothes worn by these people are very eye-catching in Hong Kong Island.

"Axin, stay at home peacefully!" Wang Sumei asked with a smile, hiding the embarrassment in her heart.

It's also her fault for being nosy!

When Zhang Heping went to Rijima to inspect the nuclear power plant, Wang Sumei, when reporting to her superiors, asked if they should send someone to go with them to take a look.

Then, the higher-ups thought of the Guangdong Energy Research Institute and the nuclear power personnel in Daya Bay.

However, none of them expected that the Guangdong Provincial Energy Research Institute had previously made a "warning" call to the Zhang family because of the nuclear power plant project of China Power Company, in order to hinder the Zhang family from acquiring China Power Company.

Therefore, Zhang Heping took advantage of the situation to attack the stubborn old man Li and drove him back.

The previous warning from the Guangdong Energy Research Institute was very subtle, so Zhang Heping did not go too far and followed Director Wang's advice to keep Lao Zhou.

"He's in the basement right now. I don't know what he's doing, but he doesn't allow me to go down and see." Tang Xin replied with some resentment, then pointed at the table and chairs on the flat ground and said, "Auntie Wang, take them outside to sit for a while. I'll go get someone to make tea."

"Mom, my dad asked me to ask Grandma Wang what's the purpose of bringing so many people here?" Little Five Zhang Long had just been sent to the basement to call his dad and now he had become a messenger.

Tang Xin frowned and asked, "What is your father busy with? Doesn't he have time to come up and meet the guests?"

"My dad won't let me tell you, or he'll beat me, hehe!"

Looking at his son's playful appearance, Tang Xin guessed something but did not ask in front of outsiders.

"Go ask your dad if he can let Aunt Wang go to the basement to talk?" Tang Xin sent another work order to the microphone.

Then Xiaowu Zhang Long turned around and ran into the villa.

"Auntie Wang, please sit down first. I'll go get some tea." Tang Xin said as she walked into the house.

Wang Sumei was also a little confused about what Zhang Heping was doing in the basement, but the people she brought today were of varying identities and some were special.

Therefore, Wang Sumei considered herself half the host and invited these 15 men, women, young and old to sit at the table and chairs with parasols.

After Tang Xin brought three nannies to take out cups, tea leaves, and kettles, Xiaowu Zhang Long ran out again and said to Wang Sumei, "Grandma Wang can go to the basement, but you must keep it confidential and not reveal the things in the basement."

After hearing what Zhang Heping's son said, not only did Director Wang think that Zhang Heping was doing something big in the basement, but even the 15 men and women who accompanied him perked up and looked in the direction of the villa with curiosity.

However, when Director Wang went to the second floor of the basement and saw Zhang Heping wearing an apron and carving wood at a folding table, he said unhappily, "I thought you were doing nuclear tests in the basement! You're so secretive!"

"Ah Xin will be 7 years old on July 2nd, and I have to make her a commemorative gift." Zhang Heping held up the half-carved wooden figure of Tang Xin in his hand, looked at it from left to right for a while, and was a little dissatisfied, but he continued to carve.

Director Wang looked at the several finished wood carvings on the table and asked helplessly, "Is this the reason you were unwilling to help yesterday?"

"After finishing this, I still have to deal with the Internet and the post-company restructuring, as well as the Capital Harmonious Hospital, and the construction of hospitals and schools. Do you think I have nothing to do?" Zhang Heping said casually, but his words were a bit aggressive.

"That's not the case!" Director Wang quickly defended himself, "I just think you spend too much time on wood carving."

Zhang Heping did not continue the topic for fear of making the situation awkward.

Seeing that Zhang Heping had no intention of stopping the carving knife, Director Wang could only explain why she came today.

"The group of people outside are from the Magic City Nuclear Power Research Institute. They have communicated with you in a previous correspondence. Sha Zhixiang thinks you should have a common language with them, so he suggested that they come to talk to you about the Nichima Nuclear Power Plant and your nuclear power plant."

"Oh! Then let them take a rest first and we'll talk about it during lunch." Zhang Heping replied, still carving.

When Director Wang heard that Zhang Heping did not refuse, he found a chair and sat down, and started chatting, "I heard that you went to Dongdu University and gave them a World War II history class!"

"I told them that history cannot be distorted. Otherwise, I will only give them history lessons." Zhang Heping said casually: "You have not been to their sacred toilet. The contents inside... are unbearable!"

"Can you also talk to domestic factories about the intelligent transformation of those small household appliances?" Director Wang continued, as if she was there at the time.

Zhang Heping did not dwell on the people and events involved as to how Director Wang and the others knew these things, and just chatted with them.

It was not until noon that Zhang Heping packed up his tools, locked the door and went home.

"What? Have you solved all the problems with your thorium-based molten salt reactor? You even have time to travel to Hong Kong Island!"

As soon as Zhang Heping walked away, he confused the people on the dam and made these men, women, and children who came from the Magic City unable to deal with them.

"Comrade, what is thorium and what is pile? I don't quite understand!" A white-haired old man in gray cloth work clothes tried to cover up something and looked at the bodyguards around him nervously.

"If you don't even know what 728 stands for, then it means you don't have enough authority. You can go back after lunch."
