Chapter 533: Going to Huadu for Birthday

"Latest news! After the guy on the Peak left the airport, the dozen or so Chinese were stripped naked by the Umbrella Company security guards and handed over to the Hong Kong police for handling on the grounds that they were hiding thousands of kilograms of explosives with the intention of blowing up the passenger plane."

"Fuck! Didn't you say that Zhang has a strong desire for revenge? This time the guys from Magnesium kidnapped his technicians and were planning to smuggle them to Magnesium, but he just stripped them of their clothes?"

"Do you think he would kill those MG guys for an attempted kidnapping?"

"Although stripping clothes is a bit of a joke, it is still a form of revenge. Now the Hong Kong police are in a dilemma. The charge of intending to blow up the passenger plane can be a serious or minor one!"

"Humph! If the Hong Kong police dare to let people go again this time, the reputation of the Umbrella Company's security will completely crush them!"

"Compared to those Magnesium people, I want to know who injured Director Wei's legs?"

……

What Zhang Heping didn't know was that the chairmen and directors of several Chinese banks were gathered in a teahouse in the New Territories, following the developments at Kai Tak Airport.

After he got on the bus back home, he simply told his father-in-law Tang Ming what had happened.

"Just hand it over to the Hong Kong police!" Tang Ming nodded and said helplessly, "Hong Kong Island is now an enclave. The mainland cannot control it. The Eagles want to control it but they are powerless."

"We in Hong Kong Island can only be regarded as second-class people. Without the support of the country, we cannot confront the Chinese head-on!"

Zhang Heping also took this into consideration, thinking that if the matter really became a big deal, the mainland would not stand up for him and would only persuade him to return home.

Therefore, he did not do anything more to those magnesium guys.

After all, an attempted kidnapping case would not cause him to give up his business in Hong Kong Island.

……

"I have no problem with changing the police commissioner, but before the change, should we let the acting commissioner release those Chinese people first and then ask him to resign?"

"We must release them!" A brown-haired advisor glanced at the silent Governor, then looked at the other Eagles in the conference room and asked, "But the question is, how do we release them?"

"According to reliable information, the acting director's legs were shot when Mr. Zhang fired two shots at the ground, causing accidental injuries due to ricochets. Do you know what this means?"

"A ricochet injury? How is that possible!" An American citizen expressed his disbelief on the spot.

Shen Bi, chairman of Huifeng Bank, said: "He fired two shots at the ground and hit the same person's left and right legs with ricochets. Let's not talk about how good Mr. Zhang's shooting and mental arithmetic are, let's just talk about why he wanted to injure the acting director."

"Revenge!" Shen Bi didn't wait for others to answer and directly told what he knew, "Before the incident at Kai Tak Airport this morning, the acting director called all the airport patrol officers back for a meeting. Is this a coincidence?"

"After the Umbrella Company discovered that the Chinese were not cooperating with security checks, they chose to call the police when they could not find the airport patrol police."

"In the end, the police who responded were the acting director and a dozen inspectors. What did he want to do?"

Shen Bi looked around and said in a deep voice: "Faced with such a vengeful super-rich man, are you really not afraid of his revenge?"

Shen Bi did not mention Zhang Heping's mobilization of 20 billion magnesium yuan in cash because he did not know whether the "bounty on the head" Zhang Heping mentioned was true, so as to avoid causing unnecessary panic.

"We didn't provoke him, so why would he retaliate against us?" An Eagle said nonchalantly, "I would say that the Magnesium issue should be left to the acting director to handle."

"If the acting director fails to handle the matter properly and Mr. Zhang takes revenge on him, wouldn't the matter be resolved?"

"I have a suggestion!" The chairman of Standard Chartered Bank interrupted, "Aren't those Chinese people stripped naked? Let the Hong Kong police first detain those Chinese people without identity cards, and then consider how to deal with them after finding out their identities one day."

Shen Bi, who was sitting a few seats away, continued, "I heard that this matter has been reported on TV news. As long as the Magnesium country is not stupid, they will not ask us for people in the near future. We can just take advantage of this time difference..."

As for how to make use of this time difference, Shen Bi didn't say anything, he was just in charge of the bank.

If Huifeng Bank could still be considered a state-owned enterprise before its privatization by Yingguo, Shen Bi could also be considered a person within the system.

And the reason why he can still sit here now is just because of the exchange rate!

In order to ensure the safe withdrawal of hawkish capital in the future, the hawks want to abandon the free exchange rate so that during the great retreat, the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar to the magnesium dollar will not fluctuate greatly and thus be discovered!

……

After learning about the incident at Kai Tak Airport, Wang Sumei took the excuse of attending Tang Xin's birthday party the next day and took a taxi up the mountain with Liu Yuan during the Zhang family's dinner.

"I heard that you shot and injured the police chief?" Director Wang Sumei immediately expressed her concerns when she saw Zhang Heping. "You are so old, how can you be so reckless? What if you kill someone?"

Zhang Heping said disapprovingly: "I just fired two shots at the ground, who knew the bullets would bounce onto that person's legs."

What Zhang Heping actually wanted to say was that he did not aim at anyone and that according to Hong Kong law, this was not even a crime of intentional injury, so what was there to be afraid of!

Zhang Heping only thought about such arrogant words in his mind but was not stupid enough to say them out loud.

Director Wang looked into Zhang Heping's eyes, unable to tell whether what Zhang Heping said was true or false, because shooting at the ground and injuring people through ricocheting bullets could not be described as good marksmanship.

It should be said that she had never heard of anyone with such amazing shooting skills.

"I heard that Tingmei Trading's orders this month were affected by OMG, and you asked Tingmei Health Factory to reduce production this month." Director Wang frowned and said, "If we reduce production right after signing the joint venture agreement, I'm afraid the higher-ups will have some opinions."

"That's how the market works!" Zhang Heping led Director Wang and Liu Yuan to the dining table. After they sat down, he said, "A free economy is not true freedom either."

"Auntie Wang!" The concubine Chen Shuting explained, "We at Tingmei Trading don't have a warehouse. We arrange production based on orders, so we are not afraid of any country or region restrictions. At worst, we can just not sell to them."

"In addition, the production task of Tingmei Health Factory has only been reduced by 600%. Those workers may have some opinions, but the people above probably won't care that the monthly salary of those workers has been reduced from 400 yuan to yuan!"

"If you are worried about the contracts between those computer factories and us, you are worrying too much." Chen Shuting said with a smile: "We signed a pre-purchase contract with the computer factory, which is different from the contract of three-in-one and one-supplement factory."

"We at Tingmei Trading cannot turn down the 20 units produced by the computer factory, otherwise we will have to pay a huge penalty."

Director Wang frowned and said, "But the computer factory called me today and said that Tingmei Trading called and asked them not to ship the computers for the time being after they are produced."

Seeing that Zhang Heping didn't say anything, Chen Shuting had to continue explaining: "According to Heping's intention, if these computers cannot be sold, they will be donated to schools in the mainland for free. That's why I asked them not to ship them."

"20 units, the purchase price is 6 million magnesium yuan?" Liu Yuan looked at Zhang Heping in astonishment, "Organization Committee member, how much money did you make? You can donate goods worth 6 million magnesium yuan just like that!"

"I'm still thinking about this!" When Zhang Heping said this, Chen Shuting was stunned.

Zhang Heping took a bite of the food and explained, "If I announce the recruitment of the vocational training college, Omei will have to reconsider their restrictions on Tingmei's trade. Otherwise, I can refuse to recruit Omei people."

"However, I don't want to announce this for the time being!" Zhang Heping frowned and said, "The kidnapping of the technicians by the Magnesium man today makes me a little suspicious."

"Agents like the CIA, KGB, and the like are spread all over the world, and it's hard to guard against them!"

Father-in-law Tang Ming suddenly asked, "Heping, have you ever considered building the vocational training college you mentioned inland?"

Zhang Heping glanced at Director Wang and said calmly, "Dad, my college is based on the company's workplace, and it integrates learning, internship, and practice. First there is a company, then there is a place to study."

Tang Ming didn't know that Zhang Heping was going to set up a college before. When he heard Zhang Heping say this, he was a little confused. He wondered what kind of school Zhang Heping was going to set up. He planned to ask for details after dinner.

Director Wang understood Zhang Heping's implication. If he wanted to set up a vocational training college in the Mainland, he had to set up a company in the Mainland first.

However, Zhang Heping wanted to set up a sole proprietorship before, but his superiors did not agree!

"Heping, can that joint venture car factory and optical card factory run a school?" Director Wang looked at Zhang Heping hopefully.

"It can be done, but where can they be recommended to work after graduation?" Zhang Heping said casually:

"I can make additional investments to expand production, and then arrange employment for outstanding students."

"But there is a limit to expanding production. I can't expand production indefinitely just for those students!"

Wang Sumei was thinking about those young people in the mainland who couldn't find jobs. With such great employment pressure, what was the point of running a school in the mainland if she didn't think about the students' employment problems in advance.

After dinner, Zhang Heping called Huang Wenli to accompany Liu Yuan, while he took the children into the basement to discuss the program for tomorrow's birthday party.

The eldest wife, Tang Xin, originally wanted to follow and take a look, but was grabbed by the arm by the second wife, Chen Shuting, who went out for a walk with Xu Jiefeng, Ma Xiuzhen, and Wang Sumei.

Father-in-law Tang Ming did not follow them out. After the group of women left, he also went into the basement, and then saw a few little guys fiddling with musical instruments, or practicing singing while looking at music scores.

Seeing that he couldn't get a word in, Tang Ming walked around the second floor of the basement by himself. Finally, he stopped in front of the long glass cabinet in the collection room and looked at the very long group photo under the glass.

……

The next day, October 7th.

Wang Sumei was somewhat helpless. She followed Zhang Heping's family and boarded the train to Huadu early in the morning.

Wang Sumei left Huadu Railway Station, still a little unwilling, "If I had known you were going to hold your birthday party at Huadu Baiyun Hotel, I wouldn't have gone to Hong Kong Island!"

"I'm hiding from people!" Zhang Heping held Tang Xin's hand, who was also surprised, and said with a smile: "If Aunt Wang hadn't come last night, she might not have been able to find me today!"

"Hiding from someone?" Wang Sumei was a little confused and didn't know who Zhang Heping was hiding from.

Tang Ming, who was behind, glanced outside the station and didn't see anyone familiar, so he silently followed Zhang Heping and the others and got on a small bus sent by Baiyun Hotel.

When they arrived at the Baiyun Hotel, Tang Ming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his eldest grandson Tang Lie waiting at the door. It seemed that he was not someone hiding from their Tang family.

Tang Ming didn't know that his second son Tang Yi was hiding from Zhang Heping!

"Mr. Zhang, we arrived here yesterday afternoon. But you were still free to go to the airport to catch terrorists yesterday afternoon!"

"President He, let's not talk about unhappy things today!"

As Zhang Heping spoke, he shook hands with Chairman He, the gambling king, the shipping magnate and others at the door, and then brought his family into the specially decorated lobby of the Baiyun Hotel.

A pretty female PR came up to Chen Shuting and whispered, "Boss Chen, the restaurant on the second floor and the teahouse on the third floor have been decorated."

Chen Shuting nodded and smiled faintly, "Thank you for your hard work. Tell other colleagues to come to the second floor for lunch and dinner."

The female PR replied with a little excitement: "Thank you, Mr. Chen. I will notify others later."

These employees cannot help but be excited to be able to dine with the boss's family, especially the legendary big boss. The main reason is that the salary is in place and all they lack is the opportunity to show their loyalty.

"Dad!" Seeing her mother Tang Xin also turned her head to look at her, Zhang Nan had no choice but to blink fiercely at her father.

Zhang Heping saw the girl's right hand fingers moving up and down, probably asking where the piano she was going to use today was.

Zhang Heping smiled and said, "Ask your stepmother. She arranged for people to decorate this place."

Seeing the six children gathered around Chen Shuting, Tang Xin asked Zhang Heping beside her with confusion and expectation: "What song are you going to sing?"

"Mom is the best in the world!" Zhang Heping made up a lie, but he didn't want the children behind him to hear it.

When they entered the restaurant on the second floor at 11 o'clock, the group of little ones began to perform for Tang Xin and others. The first song they sang was changed to "Only Mom is Good in the World".

Afterwards, the group of little ones sang one by one the song that Zhang Heping once sang to Tang Xin: In my singing, when you are old, there are so many people in this world, and they will slowly fall in love with you... sweet and unchanging throughout life.

"Today at noon, for the last song, we invite our dad to sing for our mom, loving you more every day!"

As his second daughter Zhang Nan announced the title of the song, Zhang Heping left the tearful Tang Xin and walked onto the makeshift small stage.

What the six children just sang were all love songs that Zhang Heping sang for her ten years ago. Ever since she brought Chen Shuting into the family, her husband has rarely sung.

If her second daughter Zhang Nan and third daughter Zhang Nian had not been participating in the Super Girl performance, she would have thought that her husband would never be able to write a good song again.

However, today, after hearing the children singing those old songs that have been covered by a dozen celebrities, Tang Xin actually felt a little aggrieved.

She felt that she was right to bring Chen Shuting into the family because Chen Shuting had helped the family make a lot of money over the years, but her husband's love for her had decreased a lot.

If Zhang Heping knew what this bitch was thinking, he would probably take her to the suite upstairs and whip her for two hours.

He now has two wives and seven children. How can he love anyone more?

……

What is fame, what is wealth, it is good taste.

But if I were alive, I could see you every morning and every night.

That's much better.

When everything around you is like the wind.

It was you who helped me find Genti.

Don't want to leave, just want to stay.

Love never withers.

And every day, every day, this drunkard.

I will love you more, more, until it is overflowing.
