Break out of the courtyard

"Yamamoto, I need your help with something!" Old Pete came over with three blond magnesium guys, and his tone was surprisingly polite.

The fat, bald Japanese man didn't dare to take Qiao, so he bowed and asked humbly, "Mr. Pete, what do you want?"

Pete was very satisfied with the other party's attitude. He glanced at the Japanese behind him and said with a smile, "There are several computer production lines over at the machinery exhibition hall. We need you to buy some for MBI."

"Do you need us to buy it for MBI?" The fat, bald Japanese man was stunned for a moment, then agreed without hesitation.

However, when he followed the magnesium guy out of the electrical appliance exhibition hall with a smile, he waved his hands behind his back to the other Japanese people.

Then, the short Japanese man with a mustache slowed down, left the team at the door, and hid aside to make a phone call.

"Mr. Ito, there are computer production lines for sale in the machinery exhibition hall. Please go and find out as soon as possible."

"Takahashi-san, we have computer production lines for sale in the machinery exhibition hall. Please go and check it out as soon as possible."

...

"Your protest is useless!" A middle-aged man in a gray Mao suit looked at the blond and blue-eyed Magnesian guys with disdain. "The Magnesian people are not trustworthy! They promised before that after they bought back the lithography machines, etching machines and other equipment from us, they would let our scholars go to Magnesium to participate in aerospace technology learning."

"What's the result?" The middle-aged man looked at the foreign businessmen who were watching and said loudly, "After these Chinese took the equipment, they turned against us! They blocked our scholars from entering their space center and ignored our protests!"

"Therefore, this batch of computer production lines will never be sold to the people of Magnesium!"

After listening to the translation, a Magnesian shouted stubbornly: "You are destroying China-Massachusetts relations! I will tell our ambassador to protest your discriminatory behavior in the capital!"

The middle-aged man said disdainfully: "Go away! Go protest wherever you want!"

When the three Japanese islanders gathered around, they happened to hear the quarrel here and quickly understood why the magnesium guy asked President Sanben to help buy a computer production line.

These Japanese people did not look for the man in the Zhongshan suit who was arguing with the magnesium guy. Instead, they went to the side to look at photos and listened to the salesman next to the wooden photo wall introducing the functions of the equipment and after-sales matters to a few black people.

"If you buy a complete set of production lines and bring them back to your own country for production, we can send staff over to guide installation and production."

"If you just buy it to resell it to others, we won't send anyone for after-sales service, but we will give you a set of installation and production manuals."

"We can introduce you to several factories for the relevant production materials, but you need to negotiate the price yourself."

...

Capital, a certain sea office.

"Report: The batch of computer production lines that were phased out at Zhuhai Computer Industrial Park have been sold."

"Oh?" The old man who was reading a newspaper at his desk looked up in surprise. "The Canton Fair just opened, and it's already sold? Who bought it? How much did it sell for? Will the supporting production materials be imported from our factory?"

"It was five Japanese business groups that sold a total of 5 million magnesium yuan." The secretary smiled and said, "The Japanese imported 3.5 million magnesium yuan worth of silicon rods from us last year. After expanding production this year, they will definitely import more supporting production raw materials."

"Leader Goose didn't allow Zhuhai Computer to go to the Canton Fair to solicit orders, and his company didn't go either." The old man laughed and said, "He is trying to show weakness to the enemy. He wants to use the upgraded Peace brand computers to deal a heavy blow to the Japanese computer industry!"

The secretary said sternly, "I'm afraid that Japan will become desperate and send people to attack Leader Goose again."

"Computers, nuclear power plants, satellites..." The old man's face also turned serious. "What's going on with the geese?"

"Now, Lv Jun is leading the 23 exposed members of the Discipline Team to help the Umbrella Company's Security Department improve its security work." The secretary frowned and said, "Do you think we should send more people over?"

"Too much is as bad as too little!" The old man shook his head, holding the teacup and walking back and forth in the room a few times before continuing, "How is the progress of the Hong Kong Police, the Flying Tigers, and the Independent Commission Against Corruption?"

...

Zhang Heping rested at home for two days. Without waiting for a reply from Director Wang, he started running back and forth between Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Taishan.

After the Shenzhen Hepingguang Card Factory started producing bank cards, Zhang Heping took the sample cards to Shanghai to urge the production of automatic deposit and withdrawal machines.

Zhang Heping stayed in Shanghai until April 4, when Laoshan was successfully recaptured in the southwest. Then, under Director Wang's constant questioning, he flew to the capital.

Outside the Capital Airport, Director Wang Sumei personally picked up Zhang Heping in her second-class Santana and then took him to the Xiangshan Hotel.

"Auntie Wang, please let me go home and change my clothes!" Zhang Heping looked at the stream of bicycles outside the car window with a little helplessness.

Director Wang smiled and said, "Everyone has been waiting for you for several days. We will let you go home after the meeting!"

"How are they going to cooperate?" Zhang Heping looked back at the driver, Xiao Zhou, and then at the director, Wang Sumei. "I asked you over the phone, but you didn't tell me. You were so secretive."

"Let's talk about this at the meeting!" Wang Sumei smiled, obviously not wanting the driver Xiao Zhou to know.

After hearing Director Wang's reply, Zhang Heping couldn't help but have many thoughts in his mind. The confidentiality level of this cooperation was a bit high, and he didn't know what the form of cooperation would be.

In the large conference room of Xiangshan Hotel, the conference tables were arranged in a U shape. Three parties were already sitting at the table, and only the table facing away from the door was empty.

When Zhang Heping and Director Wang entered the venue, under Director Wang's introduction, Zhang Heping shook hands with the leaders on the three sides of the conference table, got to know them briefly, and then sat at the conference table with his back to the door with Director Wang, becoming the most critical fourth party.

"The confidentiality level of this meeting is top secret. Regardless of whether or not a cooperation is reached, confidentiality regulations must be followed!" The meeting host of the Ministry of Aerospace said, looking around, and then said to Zhang Heping on the right:

"Mr. Zhang, did you bring the satellite data? We need to evaluate its value to facilitate future cooperation and communication."

Zhang Heping picked up a black backpack beside him and took out a thick black laptop. While turning it on, he asked, "Who wants to see it? If you don't understand something, ask now, so that you don't ask me to go to the northwest later."

The host glanced at the experts on the left, and soon three old men stood up and went behind Zhang Heping on the opposite side.

"Have a seat!" Zhang Heping moved his laptop to the right and said seriously, "There is a lot of information. You can ask questions while reading it. I will be busy later and probably won't have time to go to the northwest. Don't hide your questions."

After the three old experts sat down on Zhang Heping's right, Zhang Heping glanced at the group of people from the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications on his right, then looked at the host on his left and asked, "Minister Zhang, why don't we talk about the way of cooperation first?"

The Ministry of Aerospace was established the year before last and is in charge of the aerospace industry and its enterprises, institutions, research institutes, colleges and universities.

However, they called in people from the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications today, which may involve multi-party cooperation and even other cooperative projects.

"Mr. Zhang, currently only Shenzhen has established a joint venture telecommunications company in our country and launched telephone and Internet services." Minister Zhang, who was presiding over the meeting, smiled and asked, "Are you interested in telephone and Internet services in other cities in our country?"

"Not interested!" Zhang Heping said calmly, "If I wanted to be an ordinary telecommunications company, I would have already monopolized the telecommunications markets in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia."

When the people from the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications heard this, some of them couldn't sit still. "Mr. Zhang, this is a big business with an annual income of several hundred million!"

"Haha!" Zhang Heping smiled, glanced at the three old experts who were whispering to the right, and said with a smile: "If you want to attract investment and build the mainland's communication infrastructure, you might as well set up two or three communication companies and list them on the stock markets of Hong Kong Island, Japan Island, and Magnesium."

"That's impossible!" The people from the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications reacted fiercely, "If the telecommunications company is controlled by foreigners, it will be..."

"When you say this, it shows that you don't know how to play the capital game." Zhang Heping smiled calmly and said, "There is a simple way to play. You should first formulate the system of the telecommunications company."

"The first rule is that 95% of shareholders must approve it before the company's rules can be amended. In this way, you can control this listed company with 5.1% of the shares."

“You can use the funds raised from the IPO for any infrastructure you want.”

"As for the dividends, it depends on your mood. If you are happy, you can share them. If you are not happy, you can continue to use them for infrastructure construction."

"This..." Everyone looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect that a foreign company could do this.

"Mr. Zhang, for your safety, we cannot sell this satellite to you. Therefore, we need to find a third-party company to cover it up." The meeting host frowned and said:

"The only way we can think of for cooperation is for the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications to set up a national joint-stock telecommunications company, then raise funds from the public and use the proceeds to invest in domestic telecommunications construction."

Zhang Heping frowned and thought for a while, then looked at the three old experts on the right and asked, "What do you think after reading this information?"

The old man sitting in the middle and operating the computer nodded and said, "The communication satellite data here is very inspiring to us. The data of the satellite positioning system should be fine. We can complete the verification within half a year. However, it is not feasible to build a communication network with tens of thousands of low-orbit satellites. The funds required are too much!"

Zhang Heping took the laptop and opened the information in another folder. He smiled and said, "What if the rocket can be used again after sending the low-orbit satellite into orbit?"

“Making rockets out of stainless steel?”

"Such a simple thruster can be used to launch a rocket?"

“Using methane as fuel?”

Ignoring the three surprised old experts, Zhang Heping turned to look at the quiet people in the conference room and said with a smile: "Well, let me propose another way of cooperation."

"50 billion magnesium yuan was donated to the Ministry of Space for the development of communication satellites and positioning satellites."

When Zhang Heping said this, the whole audience was in an uproar, and even Director Wang couldn't help but pull Zhang Heping's left sleeve.

"Mr. Zhang, are you serious?" Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Aerospace stood up excitedly. He had already prepared himself mentally for the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications to get a piece of the pie, but he didn't expect Zhang Heping to be so generous.

"Listen to me!" Zhang Heping said, patting Director Wang's hand and saying with a smile, "This much money can't be given away for nothing."

Everyone in the conference room fell silent. Even the three old experts who were looking at the laptops looked at Zhang Heping, wanting to hear his conditions.

"In theory, the Earth's low orbit can accommodate tens of billions of small satellites, but in reality, it's pretty good if it can accommodate 6 satellites without collisions," Zhang Heping said seriously.

"I want to seize low-orbit resources and occupy the satellite communications, networking and positioning markets. If you take my money and don't follow my plan, I will build a rocket launch base on Hong Kong Island and launch satellites myself."

"As for my conditions, they are very simple!" Zhang Heping looked at Minister Zhang who was presiding over the meeting and said, "When you have built the global satellite communication, networking, and positioning systems, I want to be one of your agents and provide these three services to the outside world."

There was silence in the conference room for a while, and then whispers broke out. Even Director Zhang turned his head frequently to listen to other people in the department whispering to him.

The three senior experts on Zhang Heping's right were concentrating on looking at the information on the computer.

Because the commercial use conditions of the satellite proposed by Zhang Heping have no impact on them at all. They are only responsible for developing the satellite, and the final use of the satellite is not their responsibility.

"Mr. Zhang, may I ask you something?" Minister Zhang, who was presiding over the meeting, said seriously, "What you just said, about being one of the agents, does that mean you don't intend to monopolize the three businesses of satellite communications, networking, and positioning?"

"Yes!" Zhang Heping responded, "Our opponents are Magnesium and Northern Sudan. We can find a few more companies to act as agents!"

"Even though the Magnesium people sent us a satellite communication receiving station, when it comes to key aerospace technology, have the Magnesium people given it to us? Have they allowed our international students to study there?"

"In the eyes of the Eagles, the Magnesium Americans are robbers, thieves, and exiles. I think so too."

"Just imagine, what would happen if the Americans suddenly turned off the GPS of our ships in the vast ocean?"

Minister Zhang hesitated for a moment and asked again: "Is this the only condition?"

The main reason was that Zhang Heping gave too much money, and Minister Zhang was a little bit unbelievable.

Zhang Heping stood up and said, "That's it. If you change your mind, I will build my own rocket to launch the satellite."

Minister Zhang smiled and stood up, leading Zhang Heping out. "Mr. Zhang, I need to report the cooperation method you proposed before I can give you a reply. Please go to the restaurant with Director Wang for dinner."

Zhang Heping looked at the watch on his left wrist and saw that it was still early, so he declined, "Let's eat after we have reached an agreement on the cooperation! You guys discuss it first, I'm going back now."

After he finished speaking, Zhang Heping glanced at the three old experts who did not intend to return the computers, and walked out of the meeting room with a smile.

Zhang Heping's plan was to donate 50 billion magnesium yuan to the Ministry of Space and then become one of the agents for the three businesses once the global satellite communication, networking and positioning systems were completed.

The biggest risk is that once the satellite system is built, it will be hidden for military use and not disclosed to the public.

If this is true, Zhang Heping has no idea when he can get his investment back.

However, as he just said, if the Ministry of Space goes back on its word, he will build his own rocket to launch the satellite.

A lot has changed in the mainland in recent months!

First, the commune-brigade enterprises changed their name: “township enterprises”!

Secondly, after the Southern Tour, most of the enterprises in the special economic zones were clamoring for autonomy.

Also, the vendors in front of his house on the north bank of Houhai can set up their stalls at night!

Zhang Heping stood outside the courtyard gate, looking at the large circle of red and black braided electric wire hanging on the nail outside the window. He was already thinking of the scene of a vendor borrowing his electricity to set up a night stall outside.

The national business craze is here!

The one who repairs the brain is not as good as the one who barbers, and the one who makes missiles is not as good as the one who sells tea eggs!

If the Ministry of Aerospace goes back on its word, Zhang Heping is confident that he can recruit aerospace technicians with high salaries.

Putting aside R&D talents, what he needs is simple personnel who can monetize the aerospace technology information he provides!

Therefore, even if he poaches people from the Ministry of Aerospace, the other party will choose to turn a blind eye because of their previous breach of trust and the fact that the technicians and engineers they poached are not very important.

...

Capital, a certain sea office.

"Five billion! Five billion!" The old man in green military uniform sat on the sofa, looked left and right, and said with a smile to the eight old men and women who were called to the meeting: "This time it's not a sugar-coated bullet, but a pride bullet! You tell me, do you want it?"

An old man in a gray Zhongshan suit said with a smile, "Mr. Hua, why do I not quite understand your leader?"

"What's so hard to understand?" Mr. Hua, the head of Zhang Heping's secret department, said helplessly, "The chip and LCD TV industries he promoted before, as well as the Zhuhai Computer Industrial Park he gave up, which one is worth less than 10 billion magnesium yuan? I just don't know what his real purpose this time is?"

Old Mrs. Zheng said worriedly, "I heard that his business was restricted to Hong Kong Island by Euro-Mei, and all his overseas business is gone? Will taking out 50 billion dollars all at once have a negative impact on his company?"

"If he uses the money in his BOC account, it should have no impact on his company, but it will be a challenge to Hong Kong's linked exchange rate system."

"It seems that there are more than 600 billion Hong Kong dollars in his Bank of China account! If he uses that money to run the magnesium dollar, I don't know how badly the Hong Kong economy will fall!"
