Break out of the courtyard

"Mr. Zhang, what a coincidence!"

The boss of a small real estate company pretended to see Zhang Heping by chance, and came over excitedly, wanting to shake hands with Zhang Heping, but was stopped by the security guards around him.

"Boss Li, long time no see." Zhang Heping did not call the bodyguard away, but walked towards the bulletproof car on the side of the road with a smile on his face.

Mr. Li, the boss of this small real estate company, always follows the crowd to toast Zhang Heping and other leading Hong Kong businessmen at the Chinese Business Association's annual gathering at the beginning of each year, and has appeared in front of Zhang Heping several times.

When Boss Li heard that Zhang Heping remembered him, he immediately followed him excitedly, even though he was still stopped by the bodyguards and not allowed to get close.

"Mr. Zhang, thank goodness you reminded us last time not to use leverage to trade stocks. Hong Kong stocks have fallen badly recently!" Boss Li was referring to the reminder Zhang Heping gave to everyone in the lobby of the Hilton Hotel after the groundbreaking ceremony of the Heping Vocational Training College.

At this time, Boss Li brought this matter up just to build closer relations and create the illusion that Boss Li owed Zhang Heping a favor.

"Really?" Zhang Heping said casually, "I haven't had time to look at stocks recently. I wonder if those real estate stocks have fallen to the bottom."

The question "Has it fallen to the bottom?" made Boss Li's eyes light up, as if he had grasped something important. Just as he was about to ask another question, he saw Zhang Heping had already gotten into the car.

"Mr. Zhang, take care!" Boss Li stood by the roadside in a servile manner, waving at the black Land Cruiser with the windows not even rolled down until the car drove away.

After a while, the captain of the bodyguards in the co-pilot seat finished his call and turned to Zhang Heping, who was resting with his eyes closed in the back seat, and said, "Boss, that man just now has been appearing around the venue frequently in the past few days. He must be waiting for you on purpose. Do you think we need to conduct a deeper investigation on him?"

"He's the boss of a small real estate company. Maybe President He didn't want him to participate in the school project, so he wanted to try his luck with me." Zhang Heping said calmly, "Not for now. Just keep an eye on your surroundings."

When they arrived at the entrance of Renheyi Community, the bodyguard captain in the co-pilot seat spoke up again and reminded: "Boss, those two people seem to be the tutors of the young master and the young lady."

Zhang Heping took a look and stopped the car.

After Zhang Heping got off the car, he asked the two female teachers who were staring at him, "Teacher Qin, Teacher Tang, how come you have time to come here?"

These two teachers are tutors for Zhang Bei and Zhang Nan in Eagle Language and Mathematics. Because Tang Xin took the children to the capital, these two teachers were not invited to come this summer.

Teacher Tang, who looked a bit fat, asked directly, "Mr. Zhang, we came here to ask if your child needs to take extra classes this summer?"

"They have not returned from the capital yet. When they come back, I will call you and invite you over." Zhang Heping replied politely.

"Is that so..." The fat teacher Tang looked at his companion teacher Qin with helplessness and disappointment.

Teacher Qin, who was teaching mathematics at the side, forced a smile and said, "Then let's go back first and wait for Mr. Zhang's call."

Zhang Heping looked at the complicated eye contact between the two female teachers and frowned, saying, "If you two have anything to say, just tell me."

Considering their usual patience in teaching Zhang Bei and Zhang Nan, they can still help with some small things.

Teacher Tang, who is in his forties, is a few years older than Teacher Qin and has a thicker skin.

Seeing that Teacher Tan was embarrassed to speak, she took the initiative to say, "Mr. Zhang, this is it!"

"Teacher Qin's wife lost some money in stock trading, and her child happened to be sick and hospitalized. In addition, prices have risen sharply recently, so we thought of coming to you to ask if you need extra lessons."

"If you need to make up lessons, we would like to advance part of the tuition fee."

"Money is a small matter." Zhang Heping stretched out his left hand towards the community, motioning them to follow him in.

Then, Zhang Heping walked in front and said calmly, "The time for the make-up classes this summer cannot be determined, but the make-up classes will be postponed to 7 or 8 o'clock from Monday to Friday. Do you have any questions?"

Teacher Qin, who teaches mathematics, quickly responded: "No problem, Mr. Zhang!"

"Every time we come, there is a car arranged by Mr. Zhang to pick us up. With such good treatment, how can we have the nerve to ask questions?" Teacher Tang originally wanted to say that the Zhang family paid high tuition fees, but after thinking about it, it seemed a bit vulgar to say so.

By the way, when something happened to Teacher Qin's family, the first thing she thought of was to advance the tuition fees instead of borrowing money from Zhang Heping. This indirectly shows how much tuition fees the Zhang family gave them.

Zhang Heping walked to the front of the villa, said hello to Director Wang and Zhao Jianguo who were sitting on the flat ground, and went home to get the money.

Zhang Heping took a total of 4 rolls of Hong Kong dollars in thousand-dollar face value downstairs and handed them to the two female teachers waiting in the living room.

"Is it enough?" Zhang Heping's question seemed a little fake.

He didn't ask before he went to get the money, but now that he had paid all the tuition for two months of summer vacation, he asked unnecessarily.

"That's enough! Thank you, Mr. Zhang!" Teacher Qin hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

Then, Teacher Tang gave one of the two rolls of money in her hand to Teacher Qin.

"Teacher Qin's son's surgery costs 22 yuan. Keep 8 yuan for emergencies and the matter will be over!" Teacher Tang explained. She didn't mention lending money to Teacher Qin, but Zhang Heping, who was standing by, naturally understood her actions.

"Thank you, Sister Tang!" After receiving the three rolls of Hong Kong dollars, Teacher Qin felt relieved. She looked at Zhang Heping with red eyes and thanked him again.

"Things that can be solved with money are all trivial matters!" Zhang Heping picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table and said, "I'll arrange a car to take you back so that you don't have to be inconvenienced by the money."

"Mr. Zhang, we haven't signed the receipt yet!"

"Tang Xin is not at home. Next time you come, go find her to sign again."

The monthly tuition fee for a tutor is 10 Hong Kong dollars, and two teachers can earn 40 for one summer vacation, which is much higher than the monthly salary of an ordinary white-collar worker of to yuan.

If Teacher Qin's husband had not lost money in stock trading, Teacher Qin, who had returned from studying in the United States to teach, would not have come here to advance the teaching fees, let alone borrow money from Teacher Tang.

However, Teacher Tang, although nothing happened in her family, actually came to ask for an advance on her tuition fees. Her behavior is worth pondering.

Although, she lent 10 yuan to Teacher Qin in front of Zhang Heping, did she really need to advance the teaching fees before she could lend the money to Teacher Qin?

People’s hearts are hidden, and their heads are full of thoughts!

When Director Wang saw the two women taking the money and leaving, he could not help but approach Zhang Heping and asked in surprise, "Are they here to borrow money?"

Director Wang was not surprised about the loan, but who Zhang Heping lent the money to.

Zhang Heping naturally understood the deeper meaning of Director Wang's question and said casually, "Two tutors advance the tuition fees."

"Oh, right!" Zhang Heping changed the subject, "They just said that prices in Hong Kong have risen sharply. Is there a problem with the supply of materials from the mainland to Hong Kong?"

"We have encountered several cases of thieves robbing train cars. We are dealing with them now!" Director Wang's face turned grim when he talked about this. "Those people are too rampant! They are armed with knives and guns, robbing trains in groups..."

"Yeah!" Zhang Heping responded without comment, then walked to the stairs, wanting to give Zhao Jianguo a princess hug and put him on the sofa in the living room.

"No need!" How could Zhao Jianguo have the nerve to let Zhang Heping hug him again in front of so many people.

This morning, he was carried to a wheelchair by Zhang Heping, and was seen by Huang Wenli, which made Lao Liu feel embarrassed for a long time.

Although Zhao Jianguo was still very weak, he was able to walk with the help of Zhang Heping.

This is also thanks to the Japanese people, who inflicted all the injuries on Zhao Jianguo's chest and back, without hurting his feet.

Zhang Heping got together with three old classmates, Zhao Jianguo, Huang Wenli and Liu Yuan, and talked about the interesting things that happened in Banna. Wang Sumei listened with a smile and did not interrupt.

Director Wang came here this time for the nuclear power plant construction bidding conference on August 8st, the day after tomorrow.

The Ministry of Nuclear Industry had drawn up the Qinshan Nuclear Power Station plan and even selected a site, but lacked funds and technology.

Technology can be honed slowly, but funding is indispensable, otherwise the project progress will be delayed.

Therefore, the mainland has not given up the construction of uranium reactor nuclear power plants, but has no longer restricted the contact between the Shanghai Nuclear Power Research Institute and Hong Kong Island.

Wang Sumei saw that Zhang Heping had discussed the evening meal with the nanny, and then she asked, "Heping, I heard that many hydropower stations have been built on the Cangjiang River in Banna. How many hydropower stations are needed to match a nuclear power plant?"

When they heard the word "nuclear power plant", Liu Yuan, Huang Wenli and others stopped talking.

Although Zhao Jianguo only stayed at China Resources in Hong Kong Island for less than a month, he heard about Zhang Heping's plan to build a nuclear power plant, and also learned that the nuclear power plant in Daya Bay next door had nothing further to do after the project was approved.

Zhang Heping glanced at Wang Sumei, who was trying to induce him to consider the possibility of building a nuclear power plant in the country.

However, Zhang Heping did not think deeply about this, because before transferring the money to the Bank of China account, he had already considered the various possibilities that the money would be coveted.

The key is that if there are good projects in the country, he doesn't mind spending the money.

But we can’t force him to invest money like we do with a uranium reactor nuclear power plant!

Because, he is a donkey!

"Auntie Wang, if you compare it to those small hydropower stations, even two hundred of them can't compare." Zhang Heping smiled and said, "However, nuclear leakage from uranium reactor nuclear power plants is a major hidden danger, so it is not suitable to be built near rivers in the interior."

"The thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plant I advocate has three advantages. First, it is at least 100 times safer than a uranium reactor. Second, we have abundant thorium ore resources and will not be strangled by foreigners. Third, it does not require water!"

Zhao Jianguo was stunned for a moment, "What does peace mean, no need for water?"

"The uranium reactor nuclear power plants that foreigners are using now are based on the same principle as steam engines. They both heat and boil water, and require a lot of seawater for cooling." Zhang Heping explained to his old soldier classmate:

"The thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plant I'm talking about burns a mixture of thorium and uranium dissolved in fluoride salts. It can be built in a desert without water."

"So awesome?" Zhao Jianguo looked shocked. "If the nuclear power plant you mentioned is built, I'm afraid hundreds of them will be built in Western Xinjiang and Northern Xinjiang in the future!"

"We can't build so many!" Zhang Heping shook his head and explained to Lao Liu, who was speaking for him in a roundabout way, "After building a nuclear power plant, we also need to build a corresponding high-voltage power line network."

"Therefore, building thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plants in areas where they are needed can save some of the line construction costs."

"Besides, there is plenty of sunlight in Western Xinjiang, so we should consider solar power generation. Just imagine, a solar panel as big as a coffee table, set up at a height of one person, and then spread out in the thousands."

Zhang Heping paused for a moment, letting them imagine the scene, and then said with a smile: "If one day I invest in a solar power station in Western Xinjiang, I will sprinkle grass seeds under each solar panel, and use the water used to wash the dust off the solar panels to irrigate a large green field."

"That's a good idea!" Huang Wenli agreed. "Growing grass, raising sheep, generating electricity, breeding, and controlling sand! This kind of project that improves the ecological environment is worthy of the name of Renewable Energy Co., Ltd."

Liu Yuan interrupted, "The question is, where do you get the water?"

"Just spend money to build a water pipeline and find a place with water to get water." Zhang Heping laughed and said, "The key is not the water, but the high-voltage power line network. That thing requires the strength of the whole country to build."

Zhang Heping said, and then looked at Director Wang. "I just provide the money and help them build a thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plant. After they have the technology and experience, they can build as many nuclear power plants as they want in the future. It has nothing to do with me."

"Actually, I prefer the field of medicine."

Wang Sumei understood this time that Zhang Heping was only supplying thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plant technology to the country and had no intention of making money from it.

There have been precedents for this kind of thing, such as the lithium battery, display, chip and other businesses he had previously lost.

So, after Zhang Heping said this, Director Wang Sumei knew how to deal with people from other departments.

"Speaking of medicine..." Director Wang said with a smile, "Do you know that after the construction of your Peace Vocational Training College started, the hospitals in the capital heard that you were going to build the largest hospital in Asia, and they started arguing about what you said before, about letting domestic doctors come to Hong Kong Island Hospital for exchange and study."

Zhang Heping saw his concubine Chen Shuting coming back, and he stood up and said with a smile: "Wait for them to argue slowly, and you just help me keep an eye on the production of those medical devices, equipment, and medicines. When my hospital is running, I will make hospitals in various countries beg to send people to study here!"

"You little brat, I just like to see you brag!" Director Wang stood up with a smile and said to Chen Shuting who walked into the living room, "Every time he brags, Shuting has to pay for it."

Chen Shuting asked with a smile: "Husband, what big project have you decided on?"

Director Wang’s “big talk” was just a joke, but Chen Shuting only admired Zhang Heping and never took his words as a joke.

Zhang Heping walked towards the restaurant with his young wife Chen Shuting, who was holding his left arm. "Didn't I invite doctors from Xiehe Hospital and Xuanwu Hospital to work part-time in our hospital last time? Aunt Wang said they are still discussing it, so I can only open my own hospital."

Speaking of the hospital, Chen Shuting looked at Wang Sumei behind her and said, "Auntie Wang, you said last time that the capital was going to discuss the patent issues of those drugs and medical equipment. Is there any result?"

Director Wang smiled embarrassedly and said, "They want some domestic pharmaceutical companies and factories to apply for patents, and then sell them overseas to earn foreign exchange. You see..."

Chen Shuting let go of Zhang Heping's left arm. After Zhang Heping took two steps forward and showed no sign of stopping to talk about this matter, Chen Shuting said to Wang Sumei, "If we want to apply for a patent, it should be our Heping Group that applies for it and then authorizes it to pharmaceutical companies and factories in the mainland. How could they apply for it!"

Seeing that Chen Shuting was a little aggressive, Liu Yuan couldn't help but chime in: "Mr. Chen, Director Wang also wants you to apply for a patent. It depends on whether you are willing to apply."

"In addition, if you disagree with those pharmaceutical companies and factories applying for patents, we will respect your opinions and not allow them to apply."

"Is that so..." Chen Shuting tucked her hair behind her right ear and said in a gentle tone, "The slimming tea and Taitai oral liquid produced by Tingmei Health Factory have not applied for patents, but they are still selling well abroad."

“So, I think we need to discuss how to deal with foreign medical laws so that we can sell drugs and medical equipment to foreigners without registering patents.”

"Let's eat first!" Zhang Heping said at the dining table. "After we finish the nuclear power plant bidding, we can talk about medicines and equipment."
