Break out of the courtyard

The day after his nephew Tang Lie signed the intention to order an electric car production line, Magnesium Talents invested 2 billion magnesium yuan in the first phase of the project into Datang Automobile Co., Ltd., which was registered in Magnesium by Tang Lie and his team.

When the 11 billion magnesium yuan deposit from Datang Automobile Co., Ltd. was deposited into Tingmei Trading Company's Huifeng account, Zhang Heping also asked the two companies to hold press conferences simultaneously in Magnesium and Hong Kong Island to advertise the electric vehicle production line.

But the second person who came to get money to buy the electric car production line was a Chinese!

After this year's Plaza Accord, the exchange rate of the German mark against the dollar will appreciate like the Japanese yen.

Therefore, Zhang Heping agreed to the Chinese people's request to settle in Marks.

Based on the current exchange rate of 1 magnesium dollar to 3.31 marks, the Germans will have to pay 68.2 billion marks to buy two electric vehicle production lines and 2 sets of car batteries.

However, when it came to paying the deposit, the people of Germany were in a dilemma because Huifeng did not have a branch in Germany, and although the European Bank Card Association was established, it was still arguing over the UnionPay fee issue.

From the wrangling with European UnionPay in the past few months, we can see how much commission income Zhang Heping gave up in order to promote the establishment of Hong Kong UnionPay as soon as possible.

Such huge profits have caused the Eagle Country and other European and American countries to argue for more than two months, but they have not given up yet.

Therefore, the Eagle Country has not yet paid the deposit to Tingmei Trading Company to order UnionPay servers and software services, etc.

These American hawks are still waiting to learn from the banks in Hong Kong Island and raise funds together to pay for UnionPay's software and hardware costs.

The Germans wanted Tingmei Trading to open an account in their bank and accept their transfers. They also bluntly invited Heping Group to invest in Germany.

What this means is that the money used to purchase the automobile production line should be invested in the country.

After several fruitless negotiations between the Chinese and Tingmei Trade, they finally had no choice but to choose magnesium yuan for payment.

By the way, the Chinese have bought a lot of Chinese cars, so they have a lot of magnesium reserves.

The reason they wanted to pay with German marks was that in their view, marks were just paper printed by themselves.

They can exchange these papers for electric car production lines and attract investment from Heping Group. If this goes through, they will make a fortune!

However, Zhang Heping's casual refusal put an end to their thoughts.

As the news spread that the countries of Magnesium and Germany had successively placed orders for electric vehicle production lines, the Japanese people could no longer sit still and once again sent people to Hong Kong Island to ask for a meeting with Zhang Heping.

However, without the introduction of Miss Suzuki, Zhang Heping ignored the people from Toyota.

In Hong Kong Island today, many people know one thing.

That is, if you want to meet Zhang Heping, the richest man in Hong Kong Island, you can go to Heping Hospital and you will have the chance to meet him in person.

For this reason, Zhang Heping always brought a few extra bodyguards with him every time he came to the hospital, mainly to drive away those who came to watch the fun or to curry favor.

...

Tuesday, October 4nd.

On the second floor of the Peace Healthcare Research Institute, Zhang Heping copied the lyrics and music of the song "Darkness Before Dawn" on a piece of paper and handed it to ATV General Manager Qu Zhouping. Then Director Wang came with her secretary Liu Yuan.

"I'll go to your TV station for an audition in two days. Remember to keep this a secret!" Zhang Heping patted Qu Zhouping on the shoulder and said seriously, "Also, say hello to those female stars and don't bother me! Otherwise, don't blame me for being in a bad mood one day and banning their acting careers."

Qu Zhouping wanted to laugh, but as soon as the corners of his mouth curled up a little, he bit the tip of his tongue and forced himself to hold it back.

Last month, a piece of gossip went viral, saying that a woman was seeing a gynecologist at Heping Hospital, and the person who diagnosed and treated her was Zhang Da, the richest man in China.

This kind of gossip would never spread so widely without some examination of private parts.

Then, there are many women who want to get ahead and go to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Heping Hospital every day, looking forward to having a private conversation with Zhang, the richest man!

Among them, many self-righteous female celebrities even asked Zhang Heping to treat their gynecological diseases!

Qu Zhouping had just listened to it for fun before, but now that Zhang Heping mentioned it to his face, Qu Zhouping knew that the other party was angry, so he quickly expressed his position and said he would take care of the matter when he returned.

Qu Zhouping felt a little helpless. This Boss Zhang was good in every way except female celebrities.

As soon as Qu Zhouping left, Director Wang Sumei asked Liu Yuan to close the office door.

"Heping, there is news from the capital that Mitsubishi Motors and Toyota Motors want to purchase electric vehicle production lines and build a joint venture electric vehicle production plant in Shanghai. All electric vehicles produced will be exported." Wang Sumei stared at Zhang Heping's expression and frowned as she said:

"Some people have been persuaded and are helping the Japanese islanders lobby relevant departments in the capital."

Zhang Heping sneered, "This year, the Chinese have stepped up their boycott of Japanese goods. If Japanese products lose the Chinese market, many foreign trade goods will have to be sold domestically. Do you know what this means?"

Foreign trade goods converted to domestic sales?

After all, Wang Sumei and Liu Yuan were not professionally trained, so when they heard this speculation, they had no idea what was going on.

"It means there will be a surplus of Japanese goods!" Zhang Heping gave the answer after a brief pause, and continued, "The mainland's steel industry has also encountered the problem of overcapacity in the past few years; the common practice is to reduce production or export."

"So, if we can't export, we can only reduce production. So the question is, what will happen if the Japanese build a joint venture electric car factory in Shanghai and can't export?"

The word "production reduction" immediately appeared in Wang Sumei and Liu Yuan's minds.

Zhang Heping went to get two cups of water, led the two women to sit on the sofa, and asked calmly, "How much money are the Japanese going to invest?"

Wang Sumei frowned and replied, "It's not clear how much money will be invested, but the Japanese islanders require them to provide stamping lathes, multi-axis robotic arms and other equipment, and use these equipment to convert into capital for investment."

"Ha..." Zhang Heping sneered, "The Japanese have a good plan. They want to use their machinery and equipment to connect with our automobile automation production system, and in the process, they want to steal our technology under the pretext of improving their hardware and software together."

When Wang Sumei heard that the Japanese people's purpose was to steal technology rather than simply invest in building a factory, she stopped worrying about the Japanese people and said:

"Some people have objections to Tingmei Trading's high price for selling its electric vehicle production line, saying that you received 55 billion magnesium yuan, but only spent less than 14 billion yuan on equipment in China, and you took the lion's share."

When Zhang Heping heard this, his face immediately darkened and he said indifferently, "If someone above says so, I'd better buy equipment through global bidding in the future to avoid others getting jealous."

The technology for the electric vehicle production line was all provided by Zhang Heping. During this period, he also took a lot of time to visit mainland factories to guide them in improving production processes and reducing errors.

The most important automation program was also written independently by Zhang Heping.

He hasn't even received the final payment for selling the car production line, but I told him that he took most of the money, haha...

"No!" Director Wang shook his head. "After the higher-ups knew you gave up on selling cars domestically, they expected you to make money from foreigners."

"What's more, car battery production is still in our hands. The more electric vehicle production lines you sell, the more car batteries we can export."

Zhang Heping didn't respond, making the atmosphere in the office a little depressing.

Director Wang frowned and said, "Those inappropriate voices will be suppressed, so don't take them to heart. However, we are a little worried that you have so many magnesium yuan in your hands..."

Wang Sumei carefully considered her words, thinking about how to express herself so that she could accomplish the tasks assigned by her superiors.

Seeing that Director Wang was silent, Liu Yuan suddenly interrupted and asked, "Zhang Heping, will you use a large amount of funds to short the Magnesium stock market after the Hong Kong Internet is connected to the Magnesium Internet?"

Zhang Heping looked at Liu Yuan and frowned, "The magnesium stock market allows short selling. If short selling magnesium stocks can make money, why shouldn't I do it?"

When Liu Yuan heard this, her voice became louder. "Do you know how much conflict you will cause if you short magnesium stocks?"

Zhang Heping sneered, "Do you know that I am now a big capitalist? It is the nature of capitalists to pursue greater profits!"

When Wang Sumei heard that Zhang Heping's tone was wrong, she felt that this boy was getting stubborn again, so she quickly reached out to stop Liu Yuan and stopped her from speaking.

"Peace. What they mean is that we need time to develop and it is not advisable to have too big a conflict with the Magnesium Country." Wang Sumei explained in a gentle tone.

"Auntie Wang, even you know that I have a lot of money and that it will threaten the Magnesium stock market. Do you think the Magnesium people don't understand?" Zhang Heping stood up and walked to the door of the office. "Please sit down for a while. I have something else to do."

Wang Sumei hurriedly stood up and asked, "Heping, is it convenient for you to make domestic calls on this landline?"

Director Wang asked this because he was worried that the telephone lines were being monitored.

"It's not very convenient. Please keep your words confidential!" Zhang Heping replied casually and went to the laboratory.

Hong Kong Island has now become a spy capital. I don’t know how many spies are eyeing Peace Vocational Training College. Eavesdropping on telephone lines is simply child’s play. It is safer to use a mobile phone.

As more and more people from China were sent to Peace Vocational Training College for exchange and study, the Peace Healthcare and Medical Research Institute also gained momentum, so Zhang Heping was really busy and did not leave in anger.

Some people complain that he takes the lion's share and makes too much money!

Not to mention that he earned the money through his own ability, even the initial investment in automobile factories, optical card factories, etc., which one didn't require him to pay?

If he has no money to invest in these projects, then he can only cancel such an important project like the Y-155 aircraft project that had a test flight of 10 hours with a simple sentence "no money"!

McDonnell Douglas, hum...

What aircraft manufacturing technology can a company that begins to focus on capital operations and ignores aircraft quality exchange with the domestic market?

If it weren't for the McDonnell Douglas gang that would later bring down Boeing, Zhang Heping would most likely have taken over the Y-10 aircraft project. After all, he still had a large tract of unused industrial land in Kowloon Bay.

Once the second airport on Hong Kong Island is built and Kai Tak Airport is shut down, Zhang Heping can completely build airplanes in Kowloon Bay.

...

After Director Wang reported Zhang Heping's opposition to the joint venture with Mitsubishi and Toyota to build a car factory, it did not affect the enthusiasm of the people in Shanghai to build the factory.

They already have a joint venture Volkswagen car factory. If they have two more joint venture electric car factories that only sell cars overseas, Shanghai's economy will surely stand out in the country!

As for the production cuts...

Some people think simply, they are the ones holding the shares, so when the time comes, it is up to them to decide how much to produce, and the Japanese can only fulfill the contract and sell the products!

When Zhang Heping learned that Shanghai had signed a contract with Japan to jointly build an electric car factory, he directly asked someone to pass a note to the European and American media, stating that Japan's Toshiba Corporation was selling five-axis technology to the mainland and North Sudan.

The next day, a European newspaper reported the incident:

Why did the submarines of the Northern Soviet Union become silent?

Where did the six-axis technology in mainland China come from?

The Taiwanese, who have been finding fault with the Japanese this year, started smashing and boycotting Japanese goods as soon as they saw the news criticizing the Japanese, regardless of whether it was true or not.

As a result, Japan's exports to magnesium became unsalable and many orders from magnesium were suspended or cancelled.

In addition, there are some restrictions that outsiders cannot see, such as requiring the appreciation of the Japanese yen, reducing the amount of Nissan cars exported to magnesium, requiring Japan to increase its holdings of magnesium government bonds, etc.

Since Shanghai blocked Zhang Heping's financial path, Zhang Heping made a feint to the east and attacked in the west, making the Japanese islanders too busy to take care of themselves, slowing down the establishment of the Shanghai joint venture electric car factory and waiting for other electric car factories to be built first.

In fact, Zhang Heping has a more direct way, which is to use technology to threaten the mainland and prevent Shanghai from cooperating with the Japanese.

But he didn't do that because it was not yet time to break off relations with Japan.

After all, the properties and land under Hua Yingxiong's jurisdiction have not been sold yet!

Perhaps in order to consume Zhang Heping's funds, or perhaps it was just a coincidence, the above proposed the sixteen-character policy of "integrating the military and civilians, integrating peacetime and wartime, giving priority to military products, and supporting the military with the civilians."

Then, the newly established aerospace group approached Zhang Heping.

"Military products converted into civilian products?" Zhang Heping and Director Wang walked out of the Peace Healthcare Research Institute.

"Except for a few major projects, the Aerospace Group can get special funding, and they have to find ways to pay for other expenses themselves." Director Wang explained to Zhang Heping: "So, they thought of selling rockets, and then they thought of the 50 billion magnesium donation you mentioned before."

Zhang Heping laughed and said, "I feel like you guys think I have too much money and want me to burn some rockets to go to the sky!"

Director Wang was somewhat helpless. "It's not targeting you. They will send people to the International Space Business Conference in Geneva next month to promote their rockets."

"What about satellites?" Zhang Heping only heard the word rocket and asked in confusion: "Are they going to let customers provide their own satellites?"

Director Wang thought for a moment and said, "They only talked about rockets, not satellites. Ask them directly when you go upstairs."

This answer made Zhang Heping frown. Although the people at the Heping Precision Instrument Factory he organized could also build satellites, he had a lot of things to do now, especially at the Medical Research Institute. He was anxious to develop AIDS test strips and blocking drugs.

In addition, Island Telecom invested 4.5 million U.S. dollars in Aerospace Group during its last capital increase and share expansion. Aerospace Group has not yet completed the number of communication satellites stipulated in the agreement, and the satellite telephone business has not yet been implemented. Therefore, Island Telecom cannot invest in Aerospace Group for the time being.

After walking south for a few minutes, Zhang Heping and Director Wang went up to the China Resources Group building.

The person in charge of China Resources briefly introduced Zhang Heping to the four managers from the aerospace group who came from the mainland, and then walked out of the meeting room and closed the door.

"Mr. Tu, I'd like to ask, do you still have the funds to fulfill the agreement that Hong Kong Island Telecommunications Company signed with you before?" Zhang Heping frowned and asked his doubts.

Tu, deputy general manager of the Aerospace Group, said hurriedly: "The money is supervised by the Ministry of Aerospace and must be used for a specific purpose, so we have the funds to complete the Hong Kong Island Telecom contract."

"I heard that you want to sell rockets to make money." Zhang Heping looked at the three old men and a middle-aged man across the conference table and asked seriously, "How long will it take you to complete the Hong Kong Island Telecom contract?"

"This..." The middle-aged Vice President Tu hesitated for a moment, then looked at the other three people.

An old engineer named Chen frowned and said, "If we work hard, we can complete the launch within a year!"

"Then go all out to get the satellite phone from Hong Kong Island Telecom first, and don't rush to sell rockets. If you don't have enough money, come to me!"
