Break out of the courtyard

Just as Zhang Heping was about to say goodbye and return to Hong Kong Island, Director Wang took out a half-folded manila envelope from his briefcase and said with a smile, "This, you will definitely want it!"

Zhang Heping took the envelope and made a vague guess based on the feel of it.

When he opened the envelope, he took out small cards with his, Tang Xin's and the children's portraits printed on them. As he thought, they were their ID cards.

Director Wang smiled and explained, “According to your previous suggestion, our first-generation ID cards all have an optical card hidden inside to record personal identity information.”

The first generation ID card in this life is the second generation ID card style of Zhang Heping's previous life.

"In addition, in order to implement the ID card system as soon as possible, this year's domestic computers will be given priority in the construction of the household registration system." Director Wang looked at Zhang Heping and said with a smile: "When you have time, go back to the capital and see if there are any loopholes in the household registration system there, and help them improve it."

Zhang Heping looked at his ID card named "Zhang Ping'an" and nodded, "I guess I'll have to wait until the end of the month to be free."

"Heping, there is one more thing!" Director Wang Sumei asked casually, "I heard that Tingmei Trading did not participate in this year's Spring Canton Fair?"

"Not for the time being!" Zhang Heping stuffed his ID card into a brown paper envelope and handed it to Director Wang. "Auntie Wang, please give it to my mother for me. It's not convenient for me to take it to Hong Kong Island."

Director Wang saw that Zhang Heping did not explain much, and took the envelope helplessly, "Heping, if we can't sign the order with OMG, we can still sign orders from other countries. It's not good to be passive like this."

Zhang Heping smiled and said, "Auntie Wang, do you know why you have to pull your fist back before you hit someone?"

Director Wang was stunned for a moment. He realized that the purpose of retracting a fist was to accumulate strength, and punching out was to hit someone.

In other words, Tingmei Trading is not participating in the Spring Canton Fair this time because it is accumulating strength!

...

When Zhang Heping left Tingmei Health Care Factory and rode his motorcycle back to the foot of Taiping Mountain, he saw ATV's General Manager Qu Zhouping standing at the intersection. He stopped the car, took off his helmet, and asked:

"Manager Qu, why are you parking your car here?"

"Boss, you're finally back!" Qu Zhouping was excited when he heard Zhang Heping's voice!

Then, he hurriedly threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, ran to the middle of the road, and smiled at Zhang Heping in front of him: "Boss, hey! Do you have a new song? This year's Super Girl is still short of a theme song."

Zhang Heping sat on the motorcycle and asked with a smile: "How long have you been guarding here?"

"I didn't stay there for long!" Qu Zhouping hurriedly explained, "I just took care of the TV station's affairs these days, and then I came here to try my luck."

Because his fourth daughter Zhang Feng was shy and did not participate in this year's Super Girl, Zhang Heping only thought about it for a moment and came up with the idea of ​​copying songs.

"Did you bring paper and pen?" Zhang Heping asked casually.

"Yes! Yes! Boss, wait a moment!" Qu Zhouping, general manager of ATV, hurried back to his car, picked up a briefcase from the passenger seat, took out a notebook and a pen, and handed them to Zhang Heping. "Boss, do you want to write a song here?"

"What else?" Zhang Heping opened his notebook and copied the lyrics of "Tomorrow Will Be Better" without any pause:

Gently wake up your sleeping heart, slowly open your eyes, and see if the busy world is still turning around lonely...

While writing lyrics and music, Zhang Heping said, "Please keep an eye out for some beauties for me. They should have faces that meet the public's aesthetic standards and tall figures."

Qu Zhouping's eyes lit up, and he immediately had many candidates in mind, "Boss, you want to..."

"I have set up a car factory in the mainland, and I need to pick a few car girls for the advertisement." Zhang Heping explained casually: "Pure, coquettish, and cool are all fine, just don't look for those female stars with scandals."

Qu Zhouping quickly responded: "Understood, for the brand image!"

"Okay, the one in the brackets is the chorus. Give it to the TV station's music director. They'll know how to sing it." Zhang Heping held the pen between his notebook and handed them to Qu Zhouping. "Anything else?"

"Boss, the mainland wants to buy the copyright of the TV series from us. We have been negotiating for several rounds but still can't agree on the price. The price they offer is too low." Qu Zhouping said in a dilemma: "But we want to enter the mainland market. What do you think about this matter..."

Because it involves the interests of shareholders, this matter is not something that General Manager Qu Zhouping can decide directly.

Zhang Heping picked up the helmet and said calmly, "It's free, but there needs to be an advertisement before, during and after each episode of the TV series. Ask which company is interested in advertising in the mainland. If there is no company, go to Tingmei Trading Company to get advertising."

"Earning advertising fees, why didn't I think of that!" Qu Zhouping said excitedly: "The boss is really amazing, he immediately found the biggest business opportunity!"

"It's okay!"

"No more. Sorry for disturbing your rest! Boss, take care!"

...

After Zhang Heping returned home, he took a bath with the help of his two wives.

After the three of them had made love, Zhang Heping talked about his encounter with Qu Zhouping at the foot of the mountain.

Then, the first wife Tang Xin asked about the new song and went to get paper and pen, asking Zhang Heping to copy it again.

When the concubine Chen Shuting heard about the advertisements inserted in the TV series, she immediately called Tingmei Trading Company and asked them to contact ATV and get the batch of TV series advertisements that might be signed to the mainland.

When the three of them went downstairs, Tang Xin went to the kitchen to check on the dinner. When Chen Shuting handed the newspaper to him by the sofa, Zhang Heping saw a piece of news in the Capital Daily that he had been waiting for for a long time:

The first successful launch of an experimental communications satellite, Dongfanghong 2.

Then, under Chen Shuting's puzzled gaze, Zhang Heping quickly walked to the landline and called Shenzhen.

After waiting for about half an hour, I finally received a call back from Director Wang Sumei.

"Heping, what's wrong?" Wang Sumei's voice on the other end of the phone was a little worried, because they had just been separated for a short time and had said everything they needed to say, unless Zhang Heping had encountered an urgent matter.

Zhang Heping asked with a smile: "Auntie Wang, have you heard the news about the Magnesian man walking in space on February 2?"

"Hmm!" When Wang Sumei heard that it was a Chinese from Magnesium, she couldn't help but feel more worried.

"I have an Internet communications project and would like to cooperate with the Northwest. The first phase investment will be at least 50 billion magnesium yuan. Please ask them if they are willing to do so."

"How much?" Wang Sumei's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone.

Zhang Heping laughed and said, "50 billion!"

"I'll get back to you later!"

After saying this, Wang Sumei hung up the phone, probably rushing to report it.

As soon as Zhang Heping put down the phone, he heard his concubine Chen Shuting anxiously ask, "Honey, what kind of project is this? The start-up capital is 50 billion magnesium yuan!"

"The country has successfully launched a communications satellite!" Zhang Heping picked up the April 4th Capital Daily from the coffee table and said with a smile, "We just need to give them a push and then develop a positioning satellite. Then we can start satellite communications, positioning services, and global wireless Internet services."

"Wireless Internet access..." Chen Shuting suddenly felt that she could not keep up with Zhang Heping's thinking.

She has been wondering recently whether Tingmei Trading Company's sales can recover to half of its peak profits since Zhang Heping does not allow the company to participate in this year's Canton Fair.

Unexpectedly, more than half of the funds that had just been collected would be spent again!

The key point is that she didn't quite understand satellite communications, positioning services, and wireless Internet services because she had never been exposed to them before.

With the humble attitude of asking questions when you don't understand, Chen Shuting was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly asked: "Honey, what exactly do these three businesses you mentioned do? Is the profit very high?"

"Satellite communication means exactly what it says, making phone calls via satellite." Zhang Heping said with a smile, "The military of the Magnesium country has been using satellite phones for a long time, but their satellite phones are very large."

"When I went to Taishan and Zhuhai recently, my cell phone had no signal, didn't it?" Zhang Heping saw Chen Shuting nod in agreement and continued to explain:

"If we have communication satellites in the future and build some satellite signal receiving stations on the ground, you can still call me even if I go to the southwestern mountainous area."

“The advantage of satellite communications is that once the system is set up, you can make calls anytime and anywhere, without being restricted by service areas.”

"The disadvantage is that the initial investment is large, and communication satellites will be given priority for military use. If we want to make a profit from it, we have to wait a long time."

"And the positioning business..."

...

Capital, a certain sea office.

"Hello, Mr. Hua!"

Following a shout from the door, the old man who was reviewing documents at his desk couldn't help but look up at the old man who was about to knock on the door.

"Mr. Hua, how come you have time to come and sit here today?" The old man behind the desk put down his pen, stood up, and took off his reading glasses.

"It's urgent!" Mr. Hua stepped forward and shook hands with the other party, then leaned in and whispered, "According to the news from the south, Leader Goose wants to invest 50 billion magnesium yuan in the northwest to develop an Internet communications project."

"Northwest? Internet communications? He wants to invest in communications satellites for commercial use?"

"It should be!" Mr. Hua glanced at the secretary who was about to come in to pour tea, and continued in a low voice: "However, this project also has the word "networking". I guess it is related to the Internet and should involve some new technologies. Do you think we should agree to this project?"

"In the past few years, we have been waiting for him to come back and invest! The automobile factory, the optical card factory, the nuclear power plant, and the precision instrument factory that we don't know what it will be used for, the total investment is no more than 30 billion magnesium yuan!" The old man looked at Mr. Hua and smiled, "He invested 50 billion magnesium yuan this time, there is no reason to turn him away."

Elder Hua pondered for a while, frowned and said, "I'm afraid there will be a lot of voices of opposition!"

"Let's ignore those difficulties for now. Let's send someone to make contact first to see what new technology Leader Goose can come up with this time!" The old man laughed and said, "Since Leader Goose released the Chinese system, the people of Magnesium have been protesting every day. They want to send another 3 students this year."

"I have already sent our leader's supervisor over there." Elder Hua's expression remained serious. "Also, our leader is expected to return to the capital at the end of the month to help optimize the household registration system. When the time comes, do you want to arrange for a few Northwest experts to talk to him?"

"This matter should be arranged by you in secret. After the specific content of the project and the conditions for the leader are determined, we will hold a meeting to discuss it."

...

After Zhang Heping finished dinner and was about to go for a walk outside with his family, Director Wang unexpectedly came over with Liu Yuan.

There was no choice, so Zhang Heping made two bowls of noodles for the two of them and then told them about his plan.

"Didn't the Northwest successfully launch a communications satellite?" Zhang Heping glanced at Chen Shuting, who was taking notes in a small notebook, and said with a smile, "They spent so much money on this research. If they can't mass-produce it to spread the cost, it would be a waste of the initial research funds."

"So, I want to buy a batch of communication satellites from them, and then make a batch of satellite communication phones to sell. It's a win-win situation for everyone!"

Liu Yuan asked hurriedly: "But, I heard from Director Wang that you were talking about networked communication. Is this network the Internet?"

"It's the Internet!" Zhang Heping said with a smile, "Just like a laptop with an Internet card, you can get online without a network cable, wireless network!"

"Also, I want to send a satellite positioning system into space to let the people of Magnesium see our technology!"

Director Wang swallowed a mouthful of noodles and said with a little concern: "If the Chinese knew that you provided the satellite positioning technology, I'm afraid your family's security level would have to be raised a few levels!"

Zhang Heping nodded. "That's why I said just now that we spent money to buy satellites, not to form a joint venture."

In order to prevent the communications satellite he spent money on from being used for military purposes, which would prevent Zhang Heping from being able to cash in quickly, Zhang Heping discussed with Chen Shuting and came up with the idea of ​​buying the satellite directly.

Zhang Heping thought that even if he could not buy the right to use the entire satellite, as long as he could occupy a part of the system resources of each satellite, it would be enough.

Of course, there is another way, which Zhang Heping estimates will be proposed by the capital.

That is, a joint venture communications company will be established in the mainland, and then this joint venture communications company will invest in the northwest. Finally, this company will cooperate with the northwest to jointly operate the batch of communications satellites that Zhang Heping spent money to build.

As for the technology, the Northwest side insisted that it was developed by them.

The development of the Dongfanghong-2 communications satellite cost a maximum of 3 million RMB.

In the future, if a large number of similar communication satellites are launched, the cost should be reduced to several million RMB per satellite.

If we calculate based on 1 million RMB per communications satellite, 50 billion RMB can support the launch of 1 satellites!

This is an easy calculation and the profit is very considerable.

However, no country has sold satellites to private companies so far. These transactions are basically between countries, and most satellites are used for military purposes.

Therefore, Zhang Heping's plan to rely on satellites to achieve global communications, positioning, and Internet access services will be quite difficult.

The obstacles come not only from the mainland, but also from overseas, especially from Magnesium, which provides paid GPS positioning services!

...

July 4, Sunday.

The Spring Huadu Canton Fair opens again as scheduled!

Then, something happened that was incomprehensible to the Japanese merchant group.

There were no mainland-made computers for sale at this Canton Fair!

"Mr. Yamamoto, this is very unusual!" A short Japanese man with a mustache pulled a fat, bald Japanese man and whispered, "According to our intelligence, the mainland has not exported a single computer since the Spring Festival in February this year!"

"Now, at their most important export trade fair, there are no computers for sale. There must be a big conspiracy!"

The fat, bald Japanese man frowned and said, "The computer factory in Zhuhai is working overtime day and night. Who ordered their products in advance? They actually gave up the Canton Fair!"

The short Japanese with a mustache hunched over and asked, "Mr. Yamamoto, do you mean to find the orderer?"

"It could be the Peace Group!" A Japanese woman at the back whispered, "They provided a batch of computers and servers to banks in Hong Kong Island in February and March of this year. They should have been produced in Zhuhai."

"Impossible!" The short Japanese with a mustache pointed at the surrounding booths and said firmly, "I just checked. There are no booths for Tingmei Trading and Umbrella Company under the Peace Group in this venue. This means they are not continuing to sell Peace brand computers and servers!"

The fat, bald Japanese island man added: "Intelligence shows that the computer and server orders of Tingmei Trading Company have been delivered, and there are no new orders at the moment!"

The short Japanese with a mustache looked at the fat man in a flattering manner, "Mr. Yamamoto, I think there is a big conspiracy behind this matter. We must find the orderer as soon as possible, and then find out where those computers made in the mainland were sold!"

"Shut up, the Magnesium guy is coming!"
