Break out of the courtyard
Chapter 539 Hong Kong Island Now Has Me
July 7, 6pm, Capital Nanhai Office.
"Secret message from the geese. At 5pm today, the leader goose led the six old geese southward to look for food. They also gave each old goose some clothes. Guess how much it cost? Who paid for it?"
"It's hard to guess how much it was, but when Mr. Hua asked who paid for it, it definitely wasn't paid by the leader!"
"Mr. Hua, don't keep us in suspense! Whether the 100 billion magnesium yuan can be fully brought back to the country for investment depends on whether these six old geese can stay in the south!"
"We can stay. The leader proposed to build a new precision instrument factory with a guaranteed investment of 2 million magnesium yuan. However, the six old geese must be arranged to run this factory in Shenzhen."
"Precision Instrument Factory?"
"Those six old geese are members of the precision-guided project team. Does the leader want to build his own factory to produce precision-guided missiles?"
"It shouldn't be the case with missiles. They may want to develop their own electronic components for precision guidance!"
"Last time, we asked our leader to go to Xiangshan for a meeting to discuss restarting satellite positioning, precision guidance and other projects, but he just showed up for a meeting and left!"
"We previously thought that the leader did not want to use money to support those projects. Now it seems that there may be some misunderstanding. We need to ask the people who attended the meeting that day."
……
Zhang Heping didn't know that not long after he took the six technicians home, his whereabouts this afternoon were reported to the capital.
At this time, he was arranging guest rooms on the third floor of his villa for six technicians.
"I was poor before!" Zhang Heping took out the bedding from the guest room closet and handed it to the team leader Zhou Li who was waiting behind him. "On New Year's Eve in 62, my family had nothing to eat. We could only drink the paste distributed by the street office to make matchboxes."
"So, I won't tell you to throw away your old clothes. I just hope you can pay attention to your image and be the leader of our Heping Precision Instrument Factory."
"Only if you dress well, eat well, and have high salaries can you attract more talents to join our Peace Group!"
Zhou Li said in embarrassment: "Boss, I still think this is too extravagant. A suit costs 1999 Hong Kong dollars, which is more than 500 yuan in domestic currency!"
"What?" Zhang Heping said with a smile, "You just realized now that you feel sorry for your salary?"
Zhang Heping said this because he gave these six technicians a month's salary in advance today so that they could buy a bunch of clothes, shoes and socks for themselves and their families.
After buying all the goods, their newly-earned salary of HK$3 was almost gone.
Now, even if they want to go back on their word, they have to think about how to spend the salary they paid this afternoon.
"It's not that I feel sad, it just feels so unreal!" Zhou Li put the bedding on the bed and let the other technicians make the bed. He continued to talk to Zhang Heping:
"You offer us a monthly salary of 3 Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to 7900 RMB. This salary is too high! It is more than my salary in the past ten years combined!"
Zhang Heping handed over two pillows, closed the closet door, and said with a smile, "Is it very high? Do you know how much the security guards in my community get paid per month?"
"Everyone is guaranteed to receive a minimum of HK$10 per month, with overtime pay, performance bonuses, and year-end bonuses not included. That means they can get at least HK$200 million per year!"
"Now, do you still think your salary is high?" Zhang Heping patted Zhou Li's shoulder, who was stunned, and began to make promises: "Work hard!"
"Your current salary is low because our Peace Precision Instrument Factory has not been built yet, and you have no specific work or relevant positions. I will simply treat you all equally and give you the same salary."
"After the factory is built, we will work together to formulate our factory's rules and regulations, as well as the reward and punishment system."
"At that time, your salary will be linked to the performance of the Heping Precision Instrument Factory and will be paid by the finance department there."
Zhou Li looked at the door and didn't see anyone else. He asked with a little expectation: "Boss, what products does our precision instrument factory mainly produce?"
"Keep it secret for now!" Zhang Heping walked out of the room with a smile, and then asked everyone else to go next door.
……
The next day, Zhang Heping personally cooked fried egg noodles in the morning, obviously trying to win the hearts of the six technicians.
Just as Zhang Heping called his bedridden concubine Chen Shuting downstairs to have breakfast together, a young bodyguard ran in and said softly, "Boss, there are a few people who claim to be computer scholars from Japan who want to visit you. Here is their visiting card."
"What day is it today? Haven't you learned modern history?" Zhang Heping frowned and waved his left hand, "Let them go. I don't want to see the Japanese today."
Although the young bodyguard didn't know what day it was today, he understood what Zhang Heping meant by not wanting to see the Japanese.
After the bodyguard went out in response, the six technicians finished their noodles in silence, and then sat there quietly, waiting for Zhang Heping.
During the obedience test yesterday evening, although the six technicians felt sorry for spending the money, they did not raise any objections or questions on the spot. Their performance still made Zhang Heping very satisfied.
No matter whether they are motivated by public interest or selfish motives, as long as they obey and do as they are told, they will not make things difficult for Zhang Heping in the future.
After Chen Shuting finished her noodles, she wiped her mouth with a napkin and asked, "Husband, after you attend the groundbreaking ceremony of the training academy this morning, are you going to Shenzhen?"
Zhang Heping put down his chopsticks and replied, "Yes! Shencheng has sent people to watch the ceremony. It's just right for us to go to Shencheng together."
Chen Shuting said hopefully, "Can we treat those people from Shenzhen to lunch? Then we can go to Shenzhen together in the afternoon."
Zhang Heping didn't care about the travel time, so he nodded and said, "If you can finish your work in the morning, then we can go to Shenzhen in the afternoon."
"Thank you, husband!" After Chen Shuting stood up, she kissed Zhang Heping on the cheek, then went to the landline on the sofa and started making phone calls to arrange work.
The restructuring of Air, Land and Sea Co., Ltd. has come to an end. Only the restructuring of Renewable Energy Co., Ltd. has encountered some problems. Because of the use of some radical and unconventional means, it is currently being jointly sued by the shareholders of China Gas.
Zhang Heping originally planned to take over the shell company, China Gas, at a price of 2 yuan per share, so as to prevent outsiders from saying that he was too ruthless and put an end to those tricks.
Since they want to resist, just let them do what they want. This will be a good opportunity to advertise for Renewable Energy Co., Ltd.
Even if the shell of China Gas is bought by someone else, he is not afraid that the Hong Kong Island gas supply license will fall into the hands of others, because the Hong Kong government has already sent people to evaluate the gas supply qualifications of Renewable Energy Limited and China Gas Company.
The China Gas Company, which has lost even its gas stations, can only rely on litigation to declare previous contracts and board resolutions invalid in order to regain its lost assets.
……
"Mr. Zhang, you've made a lot of money this time!"
As soon as Zhang Heping arrived at the Central Plaza construction site, several real estate company bosses surrounded him.
"Mr. Zhang, yesterday the China Eagle negotiations were restarted. Hong Kong stocks rose due to the favorable news, and all real estate stocks turned green!"
Hearing these people talking about stocks, many memories of his past lives flashed through Zhang Heping's mind, and the negotiations with Zhongying didn't seem to be going so smoothly.
In addition, because of him some time ago, real estate stocks have risen a lot. This round of rising market may have reached its peak.
Next, it will be the time for funds to withdraw, and the Hong Kong stock market will turn positive and then fluctuate downward.
Zhang Heping, accompanied by six technicians and a group of bodyguards, came to the groundbreaking ceremony site surrounded by ribbons and chatted about current affairs with the guests who had arrived earlier.
For example, predictions on the outcome of the China-Eagle negotiations, the future direction of Hong Kong, etc.
At 10:1, Zhang Heping and the guests around the cornerstone each took a shovel and shoveled the mud and sand into the pit.
Since then, this piece of land allocated to Heping Vocational Training College has officially started the construction mode with a total investment of 35 billion yuan to build an open campus including hospitals, research institutes, office buildings, apartment buildings and other places.
Although half of the total investment is for equipment and other expenses, it still cannot stop outsiders from paying a sky-high price of 35 billion magnesium yuan for the Peace Vocational Training College, which has made a name for itself before it was even established!
After the groundbreaking ceremony, Zhang Heping made a few simple remarks and then invited everyone to have lunch at the Hilton Hotel.
"Mr. Zhang, I still have to look after other contractors at the construction site today, so I won't drink with you!"
"President He, you're welcome. I'll ask the hotel to send you lunch boxes later."
"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry! I have some things to deal with here."
"What the shipping king said makes me feel a little distant! You go about your business, and we'll meet again some other day."
"Mr. Zhang..."
In addition to the leaders of seven leading Hong Kong businessmen, China Resources and CITIC, those attending the groundbreaking ceremony today also included the Financial Secretary, Chief Secretary and heads of the Education Department of the Hong Kong government.
It was a great honor for Zhang Heping that they could come to attend the groundbreaking ceremony.
If you want to keep them for lunch, you have to choose the right time.
Because noon time is far less convenient than evening time.
Those who can stay for lunch now either have something to ask Zhang Heping or want to expand their network.
Therefore, Zhang Heping had no plan to go to the hotel for dinner. He just went there to say hello and then prepared to go to Shenzhen.
"Mr. Zhang, when your school is established, you must establish a friendship school with our Shenzhen University to promote mutual exchanges and learning!"
"After the Peace Vocational Training College is established, I will definitely invite Shenzhen University to establish a friendship school relationship. When the time comes, Principal Zhang, please don't blame the Peace Vocational Training College for its alternative teaching methods!"
"Mr. Zhang, we just looked at the campus plan of Heping Vocational Training College. There are hospitals, research institutes, computer research centers, economic and trade buildings, computer buildings, etc. on the campus. Why is there no teaching building?"
"We'll talk about this later. I'm going to Shenzhen with my friends this afternoon. How about we go to Shenzhen together after lunch?"
"Then..." Zhang Heping's cousin, President Zhang of Shenzhen University, looked at the secretary of the Investment Promotion Office who came with him with some hesitation.
The young male secretary of the Investment Promotion Office smiled and said, "Then we will go back to Shenzhen with Mr. Zhang in the afternoon!"
After he finished speaking, the secretary took out a small white mobile phone for the elderly and started contacting the train station to inquire about changing the ticket.
After dealing with the guests from Shenzhen, Zhang Heping socialized with other people before taking everyone to the Hilton Hotel.
……
“It’s falling! It’s falling! The whole market is in the red! Can anyone tell me what’s going on?”
"When the market opened this morning, most Hong Kong stocks were in the red. How come they started to fall in the blink of an eye? Did something big happen during this period?"
"Mr. Zhang is here! He owns three TV stations and six newspapers, and employs so many reporters. He must know the reason!"
As soon as Zhang Heping arrived at the Hilton Hotel, he found someone in the lobby using a laptop to check stocks, and there were many people around him.
The next second, the bodyguards behind him hurriedly stood on his left and right, ready to stop the people who were surrounding him.
"Everyone, let's go to the restaurant first. We can sit down upstairs and talk if we have anything to say." Zhang Heping did not stop and walked quickly inside with his men.
"Mr. Zhang, Hong Kong stocks are all rising. As the boss of a TV station and a newspaper, do you know why?"
"I just received a call. The reporter sent to the capital sent back some news. The negotiations have reached a deadlock. However, none of this matters. The return of Hong Kong Island is a foregone conclusion." Zhang Heping explained simply:
"In the near future, the Hong Kong stock market will experience severe fluctuations, and the real economy of Hong Kong Island will also be affected. Therefore, I advise everyone not to increase leverage when investing in stocks recently. It is best to make long-term investments like me."
"Mr. Zhang, do you think the Eagle side will compromise?" Someone seemed to smell a sign of making a fortune.
"If it goes fast, the joint communiqué can be issued this month; if it goes slow, we will have to wait until next year. This is because the mainland has only given the Eagle side two years to negotiate." Zhang Heping replied and walked into the stairwell.
"Mr. Zhang, are you so sure about the return of Hong Kong Island?" President Zhang of Shenzhen University asked with a smile, "Will the Eagle side hand over Hong Kong Island obediently?"
"Principal Zhang is testing me!" Zhang Heping said as he walked up the stairs without turning his head.
"When the Eagle Country privatized their arsenals and aircraft factories to foreigners, they were doomed to decline! In fact, the Eagle Country people are not as tough as you think."
President Zhang of Shenzhen University asked again: "Mr. Zhang, do you think Hong Kong will be as prosperous as it is now after its return?"
Zhang Heping replied calmly: "Not necessarily!"
"I'd like to hear more about it!" Principal Zhang suddenly became interested.
Not only him, but also the people behind Zhang Heping want to hear how the richest man in Hong Kong Island views the future development of Hong Kong Island.
"As long as the mainland joins the WTO and builds a few port cities, Hong Kong Island, the export transit point, will lose most of its business." After Zhang Heping came out of the corridor, he waited for a while in the hallway and walked towards the restaurant side by side with President Zhang of Shenzhen University.
A Hong Kong businessman said anxiously: "Mr. Zhang, OMG will not relax its blockade on the mainland!"
"China and Magnesium have established diplomatic relations, so what is impossible?" Zhang Heping said with a smile: "When the mainland's reform and opening-up efforts are intensified, the laws and regulations are more perfect, and more policies to attract foreign investment are introduced, it will be time for the mainland to open its doors and welcome the whole world."
"Mr. Zhang seems to be very confident about the reform and opening up in China!" President Zhang of Shenzhen University asked in confusion, "Aren't you afraid that your business will be seriously affected when that day comes?"
"President Zhang, I remember that your school has an economic management department funded by Capital University. You can ask them to open a comprehensive research project for the Heping Group." Zhang Heping said with a sly smile:
"This way, you can not only retain those economics professors who come to help with the construction, but also find out whether my business will be affected!"
"Haha!" President Zhang of Shenzhen University had his innermost thoughts revealed, and he could only use laughter to cover up what he was thinking about at the moment, the suggestion that Zhang Heping had just proposed.
"I just said it's not necessarily the case!" Zhang Heping walked into the restaurant, walked to the main table, and said confidently: "Because Hong Kong Island has me now!"
