Break out of the courtyard

"The first introductory test question for the Information Technology Security Exchange Conference is a 1, 0 binary basic compilation question. As long as you know assembly language, you can answer it and be qualified to attend the conference as an outside observer."

“第2道是‘竖线’代替0、‘横线’代替1的二进制基础编译题，这题同样简单，只是需要将竖线、横线还原成0、1即可。”

A bald middle-aged Chinese man was standing in front of a blackboard, using chalk to explain to a group of Chinese people the test questions in the top invitation post for the Information Technology Security Exchange Conference on the World Internet Wheel!

The vertical line that the middle-aged man just mentioned is actually “丨”; the horizontal line is “一”.

"After understanding the changing ideas of question 2, when we look at the concept of the four-digit operation of '木' in question 3, we will find that in addition to the vertical and horizontal lines, there is also a left-pointing stroke and a right-pointing stroke."

"The horizontal, left-falling, vertical and right-falling characters together form a basic byte, replacing the four variations of 0 and 1 in the binary system."

A gray-haired guy from Magnesia interrupted and asked, "Which four changes?"

"It's 00, 11, 01, 10." The middle-aged Chinese man patiently explained to the Chinese people in the meeting room for the sake of consulting fees.

"After understanding the four underlying binary logic changes corresponding to the horizontal, left-falling, vertical and right-falling strokes, the third question will be easy to answer. Just bring those four changes into the solution."

"As for the hexagram of '米' in question 4, I told you before I came here that I haven't solved this problem yet. So, you don't have to pay for the consultation fee for question 4, but you have to pay for the consultation fees for the other three questions."

"Dr. Huang! Can you first tell us your solution to question 4? We will pay you an additional 200 million magnesium yuan in consulting fees!"

……

It is 14 p.m. in Hong Kong Island and 2 a.m. in New York City.

Zhang Heping didn't know that the Chinese had invited a number of computer experts to hold an all-night meeting to crack the test questions in the communication post he posted on the World Internet Forum.

At this time, he had already picked up his concubine Chen Shuting and was heading to the train station.

On the train to Shenzhen, President Zhang of Shenzhen University sat in the hard seat opposite Zhang Heping and kept asking questions.

"Principal Zhang!" Zhang Heping was a little annoyed by the question and changed the subject: "Shenzhen University only started construction in March. Can the campus be repaired and students can enroll in September this year?"

President Zhang of Shenzhen University said with a smile: "We built the teaching buildings and dormitories first in order to recruit this year's high school graduates. Otherwise, it would be delayed for a year and the school would not start until next year."

"I see. The library, sports venues, campus greening and the like will be built later." Then, Zhang Heping continued to ask, "What majors does Shenzhen University offer now?"

Just as President Zhang was introducing the majors of Shenzhen University, the train passed the Luohu Port and stopped at Shenzhen Railway Station for a while. Zhang Heping and others got off the train and went their separate ways.

Zhang Heping, with his concubine Chen Shuting, six technicians dragging suitcases, and several bodyguards, came to Tingmei Health Care Factory and happened to see Director Wang and Sha Zhixiang walking into the factory.

"Auntie Wang!" Zhang Heping walked over quickly with his concubine Chen Shuting, and only called them back after he shouted Sha Zhixiang for the second time.

"It's these six people. Here are their letters of introduction and files. Now I'm handing them over to you, along with the information." Zhang Heping handed over the brown paper bag with a smile.

"Boss, this... isn't a good idea!" Although Zhou Li knew that he had to come back to work in Shenzhen, the files of the six of them were their identities. If they were lost, it would be very troublesome to reissue them.

Wang Sumei was a little unsure at this time, "Brat, do you not want to accept them and deliberately leave them here?"

After Wang Sumei got the file bag, she put it into the black leather briefcase that Sha Zhixiang was holding for her, without any intention of returning it to Zhou Li.

Putting aside the origins of these six technicians, verifying their identities and examining their family backgrounds is a necessary procedure.

Otherwise, anyone can enter their secret department.

Zhang Heping came close to Wang Sumei, lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "The six of them were previously part of the precision guidance research project team. I must stay and continue to work on precision guidance."

"Hong Kong Island is a bit dangerous. Foreign spies can get a passport from a small Southeast Asian country and enter and leave Hong Kong Island at will. So, where do you want me to build the factory?"

"Okay! You've passed the test!" Wang Sumei nodded and smiled at Chen Shuting, then went to greet the six technicians.

"Comrade Zhou Li, the six of you will stay with me in the guesthouse near the Tingmei Health Factory first. I still need to submit an application report to the higher authorities regarding the construction of the factory." Wang Sumei shook hands with the middle-aged man who was leading the team, and then led them to the guesthouse next door.

"Next to it is the Tingmeibao factory, a joint venture between Boss Zhang and us, and a confidential unit. You'd better not go in, lest you get caught and can't explain yourself!"

Zhou Li responded: "Okay, Comrade Wang. We will pay attention to the confidentiality regulations!"

Director Wang smiled and said, "You don't have to be too nervous. We are all surrounded by our own people."

Wang Sumei gave a light warning that if they were really spies, then they would have to think twice.

"Auntie Wang, when you report to the higher-ups, please ask them if they will arrange for computer experts to come to my place. I am indeed in need of computer technicians." Zhang Heping walked at the end with his concubine Chen Shuting.

Director Wang was in the front and said unhappily, "How did you arrange for the computer science students we sent to you earlier?"

"With their limited skills, what can you expect me to do?" Zhang Heping said dissatisfiedly, "Every time you send people here, you don't even tell me in advance. If you had communicated with me in advance, I wouldn't have sent six of them back today."

Hearing Zhang Heping's dissatisfaction, Wang Sumei chose to shut up.

Of the college students that were forced upon Zhang Heping before, after he was arranged by Zhang Heping to work on Japan Island, half of them stayed on Japan Island and worked for the Japanese people like slaves!

Afterwards, he brought more than a dozen nuclear power experts from Shanghai directly to the Zhang family without any prior notice.

Wang Sumei felt that the reason was related to the complicated identity of Zhang Heping, the lone goose, and the fact that he had gone to the Capital Xiangshan Hotel for a meeting, but he ran away after a brief encounter.

Afterwards, those people said that Zhang Heping had no sense of organization, no sense of the overall situation, and no spirit of dedication...

After arranging the six technicians, Wang Sumei and Sha Zhixiang came to the top-floor suite where Zhang Heping was staying.

"Heping, I heard that you are going to transfer another 65 billion magnesium yuan to the Bank of China account!" Wang Sumei said with a smile: "Precision Instrument Factory, you said yesterday that the minimum investment is 2 million magnesium yuan. What are your plans for the remaining 63 billion magnesium yuan?"

"No plans for now!" Zhang Heping stood behind the window of the guest room, looking at the factory area downstairs through the glass, and said casually: "Maybe we will build a pharmaceutical factory, a chip factory or something like that in the future. There's no rush now. I have a lot of things to do recently!"

Wang Sumei learned that Zhang Heping would invest in building a factory in China, so she stopped talking about money and changed the subject: "I heard that Huadu agreed to rent the Canton Fair complex to you. When are you going to hold the exchange meeting?"

Zhang Heping said: "At present, I have received applications from 32 people from 262 countries. I plan to wait until the Internet Security Technology Exchange Conference in New York is over!"

……

Zhang Heping stayed in the Tingmei Health Factory Guesthouse for one night. After Director Wang verified with his superiors that there was no problem with the identities of Zhou Li and the other six people, Zhang Heping returned to Hong Kong Island with his concubine Chen Shuting.

"Honey, I think those six technicians were suddenly sent to us because we need to transfer 6 billion magnesium dollars to Bank of China!"

"Everyone in the world is here for profit!" Zhang Heping walked into the villa with his concubine Chen Shuting and said with some melancholy: "We are now a big piece of fat meat. Without the absolute protection of military strength, everyone wants to take a bite of us!"

"Oh, there's something I forgot to tell you yesterday morning." Chen Shuting followed Zhang Heping to sit on the sofa and said softly, "Around 11 o'clock yesterday morning, a guy from the Eagle Country asked me if I wanted to buy an island on the high seas near South Africa."

Jingle Bell……

"The price offered by the Eagle country guys is probably not cheap." Zhang Heping said, and walked towards the landline opposite.

"They actually dared to ask me for 3 million British Pounds for a remote island of 3 square kilometers! This is simply robbery!" Chen Shuting said bitterly, "They really think our family is fat meat!"

"Hello!" Zhang Heping did not respond to Chen Shuting.

"Master, the World Internet Security Technology Exchange Conference in New York is over!" From the other end of the phone, Tang Wei's excited voice was heard, as if Zhang Heping was about to hold an information technology security exchange conference.

Zhang Heping asked Tang Wei a few simple questions, then hung up the phone, went straight to the study on the second floor, turned on the computer to check the news on the World Internet Forum.

As he expected, some people with ulterior motives had already posted on the forum, talking about the results of the technical exchange meeting in Newtown.

Countries like Europe and the United States, which had previously clamored for sanctions against the Peace Group, now acted as if nothing had happened, turning the meeting into a pure technical discussion. Even an Internet convention was not agreed upon.

However, the computer distributors who had signed ordering contracts with Tingmei Trading Company have not come to the door at this time. It must be that the customs of Europe and other countries are still blocking them!

Zhang Heping picked up the desk calendar and flipped through a few pages. Finally, he decided on the time and place for the information technology security exchange meeting. He also re-pinned a post on the forum.

……

"It's out! The latest pinned post on the forum! The Information Technology Security Exchange Conference is scheduled for the 26th to 28th of this month. Huh? Why is the venue at the Canton Fair Complex in Huadu?"

"If we go there, we will also need to apply for a return home permit for Hong Kong and Macau compatriots!"

"Stop making noise! ​​This post has the number of participants. There are 207 people in the outer audience seats, 72 people in the midfield technician seats, and zero people in the front row expert seats!"

"I had absolutely no idea how to solve the last question! I didn't expect that other people couldn't solve it either. It made me feel better all of a sudden!"

"Look at your potential!"

"Brothers, that crappy technical exchange conference in New York City didn't allow us to attend because they thought our company was too small. Now this information technology security exchange conference only talks about technology and Chinese programming talent. I think it's our chance!"

"Boss, this is definitely a great opportunity! If the talented person who created the Window of the World system really creates a system with Chinese as the source code, I'm afraid there will be two major camps, one using the Eagle Language system and the other using the Chinese system."

"Boss, if it's a Chinese system, our software company will be under a lot of pressure!"

"Boss, the Japanese people who came yesterday are here again! They increased their offer by 100 million magnesium dollars and asked if we can help them solve the fourth problem!"

……

"Report, the date of the Information Technology Security Exchange Conference has been set, July 7th to 26th. Our technicians have been allocated 28 outer spectator seats and 3 midfield technician seats. No one is currently occupying the front row expert seats."

"Today is the 8th, so we can leave for the south. Go early, and you can exchange and learn with other participants."

"Chief, aren't we going to allow the shortlisted candidates to help others pass the test? Those Japanese islanders have been paying people to help them solve the problems in the past two days!"

"No need! Mr. Qian said that this kind of thing depends on talent. Even if I cheated and entered the Information Technology Security Exchange Conference this time, I may not understand it in the past!"

……

"Ms. Suzuki?" Zhang Heping came to the gate of the community and frowned as he glanced at the Japanese and other foreigners behind Miss Suzuki.

"Mr. Zhang, I came here this time not for their participation in the exchange meeting, but..." Miss Suzuki said this and glanced at the people around her, meaning, do you want me to say it here?

Zhang Heping understood what was going on and said calmly, "As long as you're not talking to me about the Information Technology Security Exchange Conference, then please come in!"

Seeing Miss Suzuki being let into the heavily guarded Renheyi Community, a blond and blue-eyed young man was not happy, "How could that woman get in?"

The guard sneered, "Our boss came to the door to pick her up personally, how come she was able to get in?"

"Was that your boss just now? He's too young!" the blond man said in disbelief:

"I heard that your boss is very good at computers, so I came to visit him. I didn't expect him to be so young. Has he taken any computer courses?"

Zhang Heping ignored the mess at the gate of the community and did not ask his bodyguards to drive people away, because the land outside the gate of the community was not purchased and was therefore public land.

As long as those people did not affect Zhang Heping and his friends' travel, the group of visitors outside who had parked their cars neatly on the mountain road would be in the right if they went to court.

Just from these details, Zhang Heping guessed that there must be someone behind the scenes, instructing the foreigners on what to do so as not to be driven off the mountain.

For this reason, Zhang Heping has sent people to inquire about this matter. Who dares to instigate foreigners behind his back to disturb his peace?

"Mr. Zhang! I came here this time to ask you to help my husband!" Miss Suzuki sat down and went straight to the point:

"My husband's position as a congressman may be in jeopardy, and my father is unwilling to help him. So, I have no choice but to come to you!"

"What happened to Councillor Aso? How did he lose his councillor status?" Zhang Heping was a little puzzled. Former Mayor Suzuki only needed to say a word to protect his son-in-law's status as a small councillor. Wouldn't that be a simple matter? Why did he have to come all the way to Hong Kong Island to ask for help?

"Could it be..." Zhang Heping frowned and roughly guessed the mayor Suzuki's thoughts.
