Break out of the courtyard

When Zhang Heping returned to the north bank of Houhai Lake, his family was enjoying the cool air outside the courtyard gate. People from the Zhou and Chang families were there, as well as his father-in-law Tang Ming and mother-in-law Xu Jiefeng.

"Why are you back so late?" Tang Xin greeted Zhang Heping who had just got off the car. Seeing that Director Wang had also gotten off the car, he did not ask any more questions, but greeted Director Wang with a smile.

Zhang Heping noticed so many people outside the courtyard gate and couldn't help asking, "Have you had dinner?"

"We waited until 7: in the evening, but you didn't come to the restaurant, so we ate first. There are packed meals for you in the refrigerator, I'll go heat them up for you now." Tang Xin said as she was about to walk inside.

Zhang Heping held Tang Xin and asked softly if there was any extra food. Then he said to Director Wang, "Auntie Wang, you and driver Xiao Zhou can have a meal at my house so you don't have to cook again when you get home."

Wang Sumei, who was talking to Ma Xiuzhen, was not polite, "Keep it simple, just have a bowl of noodles."

Zhang Heping responded with a smile, then said something to the driver Xiao Zhou and went to say hello to his relatives.

As the policy became more relaxed, the Chang family, who had originally been cautious about Zhang Heping, now dared to sit outside the Zhang family's door without avoiding outsiders.

"Brother Heping, please smoke!" Zhou Chengwu, who is one year older than Zhang Heping, came over with a shameless face.

Zhang Heping took the cigarette handed to him, and then said to the others, "You guys chat first, I'll go back and get some food and clothing."

Zhang Hepingyuan planned for several families to have a dinner together tonight to strengthen their relationships.

Otherwise, after they return to Hong Kong Island tomorrow, they won’t know when they can return to the capital.

It was also because of this family dinner that Zhang Heping directly expressed his thoughts as soon as he arrived at the venue this afternoon.

However, those people were very serious. Even for some simple technical issues, they would call and ask questions again and again. In the end, they kept reducing the loan amount and were only willing to lend 5800 million magnesium yuan!

On the way back to Capital Hotel, Zhang Heping told this to his father-in-law Tang Ming.

"They are indeed a bit conservative, but they are pragmatic and have no evil intentions." Tang Ming sighed, then changed the subject: "In addition to cracking down on criminal offenses, they will also have to rectify the team internally and clean up those with unclear 'history'."

"Next year at the latest!" Tang Ming's voice dropped suddenly, and he whispered to his son-in-law Zhang Heping: "The guidelines of the two systems will be confirmed, and you don't have to worry about your identity after returning."

Zhang Heping smiled and said, "I have never worried about this issue. You should go back and talk to A Lie and A Qiang. They are all considering taking multiple citizenships of Eagle, French, and Canadian!"

"What's wrong with them? Why do they apply for so many nationalities at once?" Tang Ming looked at Zhang Heping's profile in confusion.

"They didn't apply for it actively, but that didn't stop foreigners from coveting their mobile phone business." Zhang Heping said, and told his father-in-law some other things about the family.

The next morning, Zhang Heping met with Director Wang’s comrade-in-arms Xie Quan on the gatehouse of Houhai and talked about the improvement suggestions for the brewery and future sales ideas.

Although this old man named Xie Quan had the courage to introduce Hong Kong capital, he was only doing it to earn foreign exchange and had never thought about improving the production process, so there was no need to introduce funds.

Even the 10% stake in the brewery that he had promised before was highly watered down.

He required that the Hong Kong businessmen who cooperated with them must help them export 80% of their beer production each year in order to enjoy dividends from 10% of the brewery's shares.

The key point is that the 10% shares belong to the brewery, and the Hong Kong businessmen only have the right to dividends.

Whether a brewery distributes dividends after making a profit, in this day and age, is it up to the factory director to decide?

This is sheer nonsense and can only fool small Hong Kong businessmen who don't understand mainland policies.

...

Because his mother Ma Xiuzhen wanted to stay in the capital to choose a house, Zhang Heping only took his wife and children back to Hong Kong Island in the afternoon.

Before Zhang Bei, Zhang Nan and others started school, Zhang Heping took them to visit Shenzhen University.

This university was planned to be built in January this year and construction started in March. It took only half a year to build major facilities such as teaching buildings and dormitory buildings. They started recruiting students from outside on August 1, the day Zhang Heping held a bidding conference for the nuclear power plant construction.

Walking in the dusty campus, listening to the clanking sounds of renovations, Zhang Nan said with resistance: "Dad, you don't want us to come to this school to study!"

"I will ask for your opinion on which university to attend." Zhang Heping looked at the engineers who were still working on the deadline at Shenzhen University and frowned, "But if you insist on attending a university in Hong Kong or abroad, I will arrange for bodyguards to follow you. You have to be mentally prepared in advance."

"Don't worry about that!" Zhang Nan smiled when he heard that he didn't have to go to Shenzhen University. "During the summer vacation, my mother took us to see several universities in the capital. I want to go to Capital University, and my brother wants to go to Shuimu University next door."

Zhang Heping nodded and said nothing more.

As long as the two little ones have a target university, it will be easy for them to go to college next year.

...

After Huayingxiong Co., Ltd. sold the land it purchased in September 79 at a low price, allowing the Heping Group to recover 9 million magnesium yuan, time quietly entered the impetuous and uneasy September!

"Honey, Tingmei Trading only earned 3 million magnesium dollars last month, which is less than one-fifth of what it earned in June. Please help me think of a solution!"

Facing the anxiety of his concubine Chen Shuting, Zhang Heping, who was writing a Chinese system in the study, just looked up at her and said calmly: "Compared to the little money you earn, what you should consider more now is how to spend the more than 10 billion magnesium yuan in Huifeng's account!"

"The guys in Magnesium have been secretly printing money to pay for the high interest on magnesium dollars in recent years. What does it mean if the total amount of magnesium dollars increases?"

"Depreciation!" Chen Shuting replied with a frown, and then started thinking about investment.

"Honey, I've already arranged for the finance department to do the Hong Kong dollar thing you mentioned a few days ago." Chen Shuting supported the back of the boss chair Zhang Heping was sitting on and frowned, "But it's not going smoothly!"

"The financial team reported that the account managers at Huifeng Bank and Standard Chartered Bank were not very cooperative and only gave us a small quota of Hong Kong dollars. I guess the bank gave all the quota of Hong Kong dollars to Eagle Capital."

"It's just a small amount of money, don't worry too much." Zhang Heping looked at the computer screen, tapping his fingers without hesitation, "The reason I told you this the other day was because Xiaonan thought that the Hong Kong dollar would appreciate, so he changed all his pocket money into Hong Kong dollars."

"After that, she wanted to exchange her Hong Kong dollars for magnesium dollars after hearing what Xiao Nian and Xiao Feng said. I just took this opportunity to teach her a lesson, so that she won't do it for granted in the future when she speculates in foreign exchange."

Chen Shuting thought for a moment and then asked, "Should we still acquire those real estate companies?"

"With the example of China Gas, which Hong Kong real estate company would dare to let us acquire it now?" Zhang Heping said with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that we will eat them up and leave nothing behind?"

"We can't speculate on the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate, and we can't acquire those real estate companies..." Chen Shuting carefully recalled what her husband Zhang Heping had just said about the depreciation of the magnesium dollar, as well as the things Zhang Heping had predicted before, and it felt like she was sorting out a pile of tangled yarn.

"Shu Ting!" Tang Xin asked at the door of the study: "A few ladies have come. Do you have time to play mahjong?"

"Go ahead!" Zhang Heping said, "I guess someone wants to exchange magnesium coins with you again."

The reason why Zhang Heping said "again" is because at the beginning of this month, several wives of distributors approached Chen Shuting and exchanged more than 1 million magnesium dollars at an exchange rate of 8.5 magnesium dollar to Hong Kong dollars.

The amount was not much, but the news that the Zhang family was willing to exchange it for Hong Kong dollars spread.

A few days later, the nanny came back and told Zhang Heping something that surprised him greatly.

"Now when you buy vegetables, you only accept Magnesium Dollars instead of Hong Kong Dollars?" Zhang Heping looked at the nanny who was complaining to him with some surprise.

The nanny explained with some grievance and fear: "Boss, what I said is true. I used my own salary to pay for the groceries today. I really didn't lie to you."

"It's not your problem!" Zhang Heping waved his hand. "I want to ask, what is the Hong Kong government doing? They have made the Hong Kong dollar lose its credibility in Hong Kong Island. Even ordinary hawkers don't accept Hong Kong dollars!"

After he finished speaking, Zhang Heping called his first wife Tang Xin and asked her to deal with the matter of the nanny paying for the food.

He himself took his driver and bodyguard down the mountain and went shopping.

He has been in seclusion recently to compile a Chinese system, and only picks up some newspapers to read during his break after dinner.

Because newspapers from the mainland, Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, Europe and other countries were delivered every day, he selectively ignored the newspapers from Hong Kong and left them for Chen Shuting to read.

So, he reacted so strongly when he heard today that vegetable vendors in Hong Kong Island no longer accept Hong Kong dollars.

Outside the car window, there were many people gathered outside the doors of the several banks we just passed.

Zhang Heping connected the causes and consequences and guessed that those people might want to exchange for magnesium dollars.

"Shu Ting, where are you?" Zhang Heping picked up his mobile phone and called his concubine Chen Shu Ting to ask about the bank.

"I am now exchanging Hong Kong dollars at the Bank of China. Is there anything I can do for you, husband?" Chen Shuting's voice rang out.

"It's okay. I'll be at the Bank of China in a few minutes."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Heping asked the driver to turn around and go to the headquarters building of the Bank of China Hong Kong Island Branch next to the Hilton Hotel.

There were four lines of people outside the Bank of China, with many people holding bags of various shapes and colors, which were probably filled with their life savings.

When Zhang Heping entered the Bank of China and saw Chen Shuting in the VIP reception room, he couldn't help but ask, "What happened? Why are so many people selling Hong Kong dollars for magnesium dollars all of a sudden?"

"It's all the Eagle Country's fault!" The president of the Bank of China's Hong Kong Island branch suddenly spoke, attracting Zhang Heping's attention.

The branch manager, who was sitting in the crowd, saw Zhang Heping looking at him, and continued, "The media in Eagle Country has recently been advocating that the negotiations have failed, and has not ruled out the possibility of the mainland taking back Hong Kong Island by force, which has scared many wealthy businessmen into emigrating abroad."

"There have been so many people trying to withdraw their money from the Mg dollar in the past two days. I don't rule out the possibility that the Eagles hired someone to act as their agents."

The suspect was mentioned by the president of the Bank of China, so Chen Shuting had to explain other issues. "A few days ago, those wives came to play mahjong, and when they left, they said they wanted to exchange for magnesium dollars."

"I asked them why they exchanged their money for magnesium, and they all said it was for immigration." Chen Shuting said, standing next to Zhang Heping and turning to look at the other people in the room.

"It's useless to just exchange without fighting back!" Zhang Heping frowned and looked at the branch president. "What's the situation with Standard Chartered Bank and Huifeng Bank? What's the exchange rate? In addition, what does the capital say? How much magnesium can be supported to your branch?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang!" The branch president, who had just turned 50, hesitated for a moment before telling the truth. "The capital hasn't responded to us yet, so we contacted Mr. Chen, hoping to use the magnesium deposit in the Peace Group's account."

"As of the first half of this year, the financial statements of Standard Chartered Bank and Huifeng Bank show that the issuance of Hong Kong dollars is 3382 billion. Today's exchange rate is 1 magnesium dollar to 9.1 Hong Kong dollars. With the 98 billion magnesium dollars in the Peace Group's account, it can get at least 800 billion Hong Kong dollars."

The president of the Bank of China said with a little excitement: "As long as we can stabilize this quarter of the Hong Kong dollar, the Eagles' plan to destroy the Hong Kong economy will fail!"

Hearing what the branch manager said, Zhang Heping secretly shook his head. This person looked at the problem too superficially and failed to see the deeper sinister intentions of the Eagle Country guys.

Besides, if he didn't know some inside information, how could he possibly gamble nearly 10 billion magnesium dollars on the credit of the Hong Kong dollar!

"6000 billion!" Zhang Heping turned around and walked out with Chen Shuting, leaving a faint sentence, "Standard Chartered Bank and Huifeng Bank concealed the true issuance of Hong Kong dollars. They issued at least 6000 billion!"

"How can it be!"

Zhang Heping took Chen Shuting to the flower bed outside the bank, briefly asked about the recent situation in Hong Kong Island, and then looked at the president of the Bank of China Hong Kong Island Branch who had chased after them.

"First, cooperate with them to collect Hong Kong dollars, and transfer the Hong Kong dollars exchanged by Huifeng to support Bank of China in obtaining the right to issue Hong Kong dollars." Zhang Heping hurried over to the anxious branch manager and told Chen Shuting:

"Don't worry about the depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar. The capital will not sit idly by, and the Eagles won't dare to really let the Hong Kong dollar lose its credibility. There will be a result by next month at the latest."

The president of the Bank of China Hong Kong Island Branch came over breathlessly and asked hurriedly, "Mr. Zhang! The Hong Kong Monetary Authority reviews the Hong Kong dollar issuance of Standard Chartered Bank and Huifeng Bank every year. How could they allow them to over-issue so many Hong Kong dollars?"

"You'll have to ask the Eagle Country guys about this!" Zhang Heping joked, and said to Chen Shuting, "You go ahead and do your thing. I'll go for a walk on the street."

Afterwards, Zhang Heping went to Tsim Sha Tsui.

Just as the nanny said, most shops have put up signs saying they only accept MGD and marked prices in MGD symbols, but there are still some shops that insist on accepting HKD.

Not long after Zhang Heping had been strolling outside, President He of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce called and asked Zhang Heping to come over to discuss how to resolve the run on the magnesium dollar.

Zhang Heping was not actually in a hurry because he had learned from Huifeng Bank Chairman Shen Bi a long time ago that the Hong Kong dollar would depreciate.

Therefore, he was happy to take over the Hong Kong dollars of the wealthy people who fled to Hong Kong at a low price, but he did not expect today's bank run situation, which felt a little out of control.

As for the issue of false issuance volume by Standard Chartered Bank and Huifeng Bank, how did Zhang Heping know about it?

Please, the servers, electronic transaction systems, office systems, security software, and computer hardware of these two banks were all provided by Zhang Heping. It shouldn’t be too easy to secretly check their internal information!

Otherwise, the people of Oumei would not have attached so much importance to Internet security technology, and even forced Zhang Heping to cut off the computer sales business.

However, as Zhang Heping said, the more than 7 billion magnesium yuan lost in July and August is a small amount of money.

The Chinese system he is developing now and the Internet industry that will be driven in the future are the truly valuable things.

Chinese system programming is not difficult, Zhang Heping has seen it in his previous life.

However, Microsoft's Eagle language system, like Tencent's QQ, has taken the first-mover advantage, leaving the Chinese system, which was developed more than 20 years later, with no room for survival.

Imagine that most programmers in the mainland learn Eagle programming. Will they accept the sudden advent of the Chinese system? Will they switch to learning Chinese programming before they are 35 years old?

impossible!

Because their careers are short, they must take out their limited rest time to learn more useful Yingwen programming software with similar logic before being eliminated from the workplace at the age of 35.

Therefore, having a Chinese system alone is not enough, programmers are also needed to write countless Chinese software to form an ecosystem.

On the contrary, if the Eagle system lacks useful software and hardware support, it will not be able to build its ecosystem.

This is the confidence that gave Zhang Heping the courage to release the Chinese system at the Information Technology Security Exchange Conference.

As for why he released the Eagle system "Window of the World" first, it was just to open up the Internet market first, make money, and then slowly develop the Chinese system.

He originally planned to start working on the Chinese system after the domestic Internet was built, so that the audience would be larger and the information could be spread much faster.

But plans cannot keep up with changes, just like the current run on the magnesium dollar, Zhang Heping had to meet with Chairman He and his team to discuss how to deal with the aftermath...
