Chapter 604: Opening up the Japanese Internet

In the past two years, as more and more people show off their wealth, people's material desires have been aroused. Zhang Heping's two sisters are no exception, not to mention her eldest brother-in-law Changsheng, who took the initiative to give gifts and became the section chief.

As for my second brother-in-law Zhang Yong, through studying over the years, he has been promoted to a level 6 maintenance worker, and he is only two levels away from the top.

Zhang Heping never thought of taking his second brother-in-law to Shenzhen because he wanted him to stay to take care of the family.

In less than three days, the address of the Heping Auto Experience Store that Zhang Heping mentioned was set in Haidian. Then there were the chores of building a store and a warehouse, and Zhang Heping didn't have to worry about any of that.

The main reason why the land could be acquired so quickly was that the Heping Automobile Factory was a joint venture and the other 49% of the shares were in the hands of the secret department where Zhang Heping worked, which provided great convenience.

However, in order to cover up the original purpose of establishing the Heping Auto Experience Store, some of the experience memberships will definitely be given out randomly, under the pretext of trying first and buying later.

After all, it is a joint venture factory, not Zhang’s private factory, so some superficial work still needs to be done.

After negotiating with the construction contractor of the Heping Automobile Experience Store, Zhang Heping asked them to purchase some building materials for the interior decoration of the small buildings No. 6 to 10 on the north bank of Houhai.

Because Zhang Heping was willing to spend money to hire people, the construction progress in Houhai was quite fast. A row of three-story ancient-style buildings with green bricks and black tiles facing the street had already taken shape, and only large glass windows and interior decoration were missing.

Zhang Heping stayed in the capital until May 5, the day when the China-Eagle Joint Statement officially came into effect, and then returned to Hong Kong Island.

After eight days of treatment, Zhao Jianguo and other burned soldiers have shed their skin.

Although their skin is now red and ugly and they have no hair on their bodies, it is much better than the previous burns.

What's more, this is just the beginning. It will take at least half a year of treatment to recover.

...

Hong Kong Island, Kai Tak Airport.

After Zhang Heping came out of the VIP channel, he was surrounded by a crowd of people and got into the Hongqi car owned by his father-in-law. Then he went to Building C next to the China Resources Building on the north side, an office building specially rented out to expatriate units from the mainland.

Zhang Heping rushed back this time, firstly, he had matters at the hospital and the research institute to deal with, and secondly, the special mission stationed in Hong Kong had arrived, including his second sister Zhang Pandi's former director Yin Biqin, who sent Zhang Heping an invitation for a meeting.

This face must be given to her to prevent her from spreading rumors to the new director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office.

Of course, the main reason is that this special mission will stay in Hong Kong Island in the future; after Hong Kong Island’s return, they may also participate in Hong Kong Island’s political affairs.

As for now, they are just bystanders, monitoring the implementation of the China-Eagle joint statement.

Between Building C and China Resources Building, there is Building B of the Peace Hospital on the west side, which is also the catering building; Building D on the east side is the Peace Hotel which is under renovation.

Zhang Heping went to Building C, exchanged pleasantries with the members of the special mission team, and then went to the Peace Healthcare Research Institute.

A young female researcher pointed at the lab table and said, "Teacher Zhang, these are the newly made HIV test strips. This is the one that has been tested. So far, there has been no false positives. Do you think we should release this test strip to the public?"

Zhang Heping picked up a small piece of paper that was 10 centimeters long and 5 millimeters wide, and said thoughtfully, "Send a batch to the hematology department first, and I'll take some away."

The old man in a white coat beside him saw Zhang Heping grabbing a handful of AIDS test strips and hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhang, the AIDS blocking drug has been successfully tested on mice. We need to test it on experimental monkeys. When can you send the experimental monkeys over?"

"We can't buy foreign experimental monkeys, so we can only test them on wild monkeys first." Zhang Heping frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Mr. Wan, how many AIDS prevention drugs are there now?"

The old man in a white coat, who was called Mr. Wan, said seriously, "Based on a one-month course of treatment, we have currently produced seven units of medicine powder."

"You guys make the tablets first, and I'll ask someone to pick them up in a couple of days." After Zhang Heping said this, he wanted to go out.

Elder Wan frowned and asked, "Mr. Zhang, you want the tablets. Do you want to do a human experiment directly?"

"I won't do it!" Zhang Heping put the AIDS test strip into the leather file bag handed to him by the researcher next to him and said with a smile: "However, I will publish this blocking drug in the "Heping Hospital" magazine next month. I believe that the medical institutions of Europe and Magnesium will ask us for the drug!"

"This..." Mr. Wan didn't know what to say for a moment. It seemed inappropriate to stop foreigners from testing drugs on foreigners.

Zhang Heping saw Mr. Wan's hesitation, so he comforted him, "This disease was originally caused by the European and American people messing around in Africa. It's up to them whether to try the medicine or not. I'll just give the medicine."

"Teacher Zhang, if the European Magnesium people test that the blocking drug is effective and then invite us to attend the World AIDS Conference in Atlanta, will you go?"

"No!" Zhang Heping said as he walked out, "If I go, will the people of Magnesium let me go? If you have the courage to go, I will reimburse your travel expenses."

...

When Zhang Heping got home, he called Tang Wei, the technical manager of Umbrella, and gave him some AIDS test strips, asking him to give them to the bodyguards who had gone to the red-light district to conduct research but failed to keep a tight control on their belts, and to the six bodyguards with AIDS who had resigned and received one million U.S. dollars and had gone off to fool around.

Finally, he asked Wei Chunqiao, the general manager of Umbrella, to arrange for some AIDS test strips to be sent to Xindao and given to the family of the second son Tang Yi, as a way of reusing waste.

Zhang Heping only told the blood test method but did not say what the test results meant.

So, he received a call from Tang Lao Er early the next morning.

"Brother-in-law, we used that test paper last night. What is the use of this paper?" Tang Yi's slightly hopeful voice came from the other end of the phone.

Zhang Heping asked casually: "After the test, how many lines are there on the test paper?"

"Two!" Tang Yi seemed to understand a lot at once.

"Ask other people to do the test as well, and count which people had two lines appear after using the test paper." Zhang Heping said, and then hung up the phone.

It was afternoon and Zhang Heping was watching medical staff in the hematology department testing the stored blood. As a result, Tang Wei came with three former bodyguards who were infected with AIDS.

Zhang Heping watched as the three people each took out seven or eight test papers with two lines on them, and then gave them a paid task, which was to bring these infected people to donate blood in order to support the development of AIDS drugs.

"Boss, can our disease be cured?" a former bodyguard asked guiltily.

This guy just heard that if the test paper shows two lines, it means he is infected with HIV, and he feels a little panic for no reason.

He never expected that more than half of the women he had slept with in the past few months had been infected by him!

"We have developed blocking drugs, but they can only treat HIV-infected patients within 72 hours. We have not yet developed a specific drug to treat AIDS." Zhang Heping smiled calmly:

"Don't worry, the incubation period of this virus can be up to more than ten years. If you six are unlucky and get sick early, then come to our hospital and we will provide you with free treatment."

The so-called free means, of course, being a guinea pig for medical research institutes. Otherwise, where else can you find such a good thing?

"Thank you, boss!" The three resigned bodyguards thanked him and left.

Tang Wei gathered around Zhang Heping, and after the three resigned bodyguards had gone far away, he said, "Master, we haven't found the other three resigned bodyguards. I heard they went to Magnesium for medical treatment."

"Don't worry about the three of them!" Zhang Heping frowned and said, "Go to the Medical Research Institute and get some more HIV test strips. Have those bodyguards and security guards who like to go to the red-light district tested."

Tang Wei thought of the pile of small notes handed over by the three resigned bodyguards just now, and asked solemnly: "Master, do the people at the Ridao branch want to be tested?"

"As long as the Medical Research Institute has enough test strips, we'll test them all!" Zhang Heping also thought of the brothels in the Eastern Capital of Japan Island, and frowned, "Let the people in the Eastern Capital of Japan Island test first. There is a military base of the Chinese there, and the risk is higher than in Hong Kong Island!"

Because the AIDS test strips were further validated, Zhang Heping called Director Wang in Shenzhen and asked her to select a pharmaceutical factory to prepare for mass production of the AIDS test strips.

As for the AIDS prevention drugs, they would not be able to start mass production until wild monkeys from Nanla Town were transported in for experiments and Omei helped him conduct human experiments.

Zhang Heping was busy at the Heping Hospital for a few days. On June 6, when he learned that the mainland was going to cut one million troops, he excitedly arranged for Umbrella Security's general manager Wei Chunqiao to go to Shenzhen to discuss the establishment of the Shenzhen branch of the Umbrella Security Company.

As a result, Shenzhen City neither agreed nor refused, but said they would report the matter and ask questions, using the tactic of procrastination.

In fact, there is already a security company in Shekou, next to Shenzhen City, but it is run by China Merchants Group and is considered a state-owned enterprise.

The security company's service targets businessmen from Hong Kong and Macao.

Their performance is okay because the population composition of Shenzhen is becoming more and more complex; encountering thieves is common, and encountering robberies and muggings is troublesome.

In addition, the bodyguards of the Umbrella Security Company charged high fees and did not have gun licenses in the mainland, which allowed the security company in Shekou to gradually grow.

The purpose of setting up the Shenzhen branch of Umbrella Security Company is not to compete with the security company in Shekou for business, but just to obtain a gun license in the mainland.

Unfortunately, since the crackdown began, gun control in the mainland has become increasingly strict.

...

On the weekend of June 6, Zhang Heping took time out to return to the capital to check on the recovery of Zhao Laoliu and others.

"For injuries like Lao Liu's, they need to shed their skin five or six times before they can have circumcision surgery." Zhang Heping stood beside Zhao Jianguo's bed and said to Lao Liu's parents, "Don't worry, Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao. Urology surgery is even simpler than Lao Liu's shed skin."

"Yes!" The old company commander Zhao Ziliang nodded hurriedly, "Heping, I believe you can definitely cure Bang Laoliu! When he gets married in the future, I will ask him to toast you a few more glasses of wine!"

Zhang Heping glanced at the bald Zhao Laoliu and said with a smile: "Eyebrows, hair and the like, if you want to change other medicines, it is not suitable to use them now. You have to wait until his molting process is over."

The old company commander and his wife looked at their sixth son's smoother skin and nodded in conviction.

They believe whatever Zhang Heping says now because the real effect is right in front of them.

Zhang Heping spoke a few more words to the old company commander and the others, then went with the burn doctor to see the patients in other beds.

That night, Mr. Hua found Zhang Heping and revealed that he would go to Magnesium next month to extend the cross-Pacific trade agreement. The Magnesium people might bring up the Chinese system, electronic transaction system, and bank cards.

In response, Zhang Heping replied with a smile, "I am a Hong Kong Islander now, I want to talk about freedom and human rights!"

Mr. Hua only brought a message and had no intention of forcing anyone, so he didn't say much about the magnesium country to Zhang Heping, the stubborn man.

Mr. Hua, with his hands behind his back, strolled in the courtyard of No. 5 Wanshou Road and asked casually, "At the beginning of this month, you only sold 2 new computers to the Japanese. How long will you keep those computers in stock?"

Zhang Heping smiled and said, "Once the Chinese have established an electronic transaction security monitoring center and UnionPay servers, we can sell them."

"Wait for the Chinese?" Old Hua frowned, pondering the intention of Zhang Heping's words.

Zhang Heping now refuses to provide the Chinese source code of SafeGuard to the Chinese people, and refuses to allow the Chinese people to study at his Heping Vocational Training College.

However, pro-magnesium countries Japan and Europe are not on the rejection list, and Japan and Europe have established an electronic transaction security monitoring center and UnionPay servers.

Mr. Hua felt that Zhang Heping was forcing the Magnesium Kingdom to agree to something...

Mr. Hua was in deep thought, and Zhang Heping was also thinking about whether he should find Mr. Hua to jointly establish the Shenzhen branch of Umbrella Security Company?

Zhang Heping felt that if he brought up this matter, the other party would definitely agree readily and then arrange the personnel properly.

The key is that after doing this, you have to be careful that people from the Shenzhen branch are promoted to the Umbrella Hong Kong Island headquarters, and then climb up step by step to a high position, protecting the Zhang family while monitoring their every move.

In the end, Zhang Heping did not mention this matter, but continued to talk about the economic situation of Japan, Europe and magnesium.

The next day, Zhang Heping returned to Hong Kong Island.

It was also on this day that Japan’s Internet was finally fully opened to Hong Kong’s Internet and spread to Southeast Asian countries.

Although there are many Japanese people in Peace Vocational Training College, there are still not enough Japanese people majoring in computer science to meet the needs of Japanese financial companies.

When the Ridao Financial Company contacted the Peace Vocational Training College and proposed to recruit targeted students, it was helpless to find that except for the Ridao students, all other students had been recruited by European financial companies.

Fortunately, the next semester is not far away.

Look, Miss Suzuki and her husband, Congressman Aso, are here to visit Zhang Heping again.

Councillor Aso sat half of his buttocks on the sofa in Zhang's living room and asked respectfully, "Mr. Zhang, I heard that after the European financial market was liberalized, the Peace Group invested in the European stock market. Do you think you should consider our Japanese stock market?"

"That depends on how much money you can help me borrow from major banks in Japan!" Zhang Heping replied with a smile.

Congressman Aso was stunned for a moment, glanced at his wife, and when she didn't say anything, Congressman Aso asked in confusion: "With Zhang Sang's cash flow, he shouldn't need a loan, right?"

Zhang Heping smiled and said, "I have to use my little money to prevent the sanctions imposed by the Magnesium people on the Heping Group. What if I lose money by investing in the Japanese stock market? Or what if I can't exchange the Japanese yen for the Magnesium dollar at a critical moment?"

"This..." Congressman Aso thought for a moment and asked, "Mr. Zhang, I would like to ask, if you take out a loan, what do you plan to use as collateral?"

"There are many things that can be mortgaged, such as the assets of Huayingxiong Company, or the newly configured computers stored in the warehouse of Tingmei Trading, and the stocks of those companies controlled by Heping Group..." Zhang Heping introduced with a smile.

In May this year, Tingmei Trading's net profit exceeded 5 billion magnesium yuan!

This is because Zhang Heping has been holding back on selling the new-configuration computers. If he were allowed to sell them freely, the performance would probably take a turn for the worse.

Therefore, Heping Group is not short of money.

But Zhang Heping’s money didn’t just come from the wind!

The Peace Group has been legally avoiding taxes in Hong Kong for so many years, and the taxes it has paid in bits and pieces total less than 20 million Hong Kong dollars. How could it possibly allow the Japanese to take advantage of it in terms of taxes?

Miss Suzuki interrupted, "What to mortgage? When the time comes, Zhang Sang will send someone to talk to the bank. We will help Zhang Sang contact the bank first."

"Okay!" Zhang Heping nodded indifferently.

Miss Suzuki asked, "Mr. Zhang, can we send more students to study at your school next semester?"

Zhang Heping casually said: "If you take the entrance exam and pass it, and you are not afraid of crowded dormitories, or if you have a place to live outside the school, you can be sent here to study."

"Also, I want to criticize the Japanese students. I introduced them to jobs in European financial companies, but none of them went. This is not conducive to international development. You should lecture them when you go back!"
