Break out of the courtyard

Chapter 613 I am a nostalgic person

After the banquet, Zhang Heping, who could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, was taken to the guesthouse, and the leaders who had been unconscious just now sat up straight.

"I'm not sure if this young Mr. Zhang is the richest man in Hong Kong Island, but his alcohol tolerance is really scary. Even with so many of us, he didn't get drunk."

"Do you remember how much Baiyunbian he drank?"

“No less than 10 bottles!”

"I'm a little dizzy. I didn't hear clearly just now. What project did Mr. Zhang agree to invest in?"

"Orphanage! Martyrs' Cemetery!"

"What?"

……

The next morning, Zhang Heping took a bus from the Second Automobile Manufacturing Plant to Shiyan Auto City.

He was invited here to check out the trial operation of the Dongfeng electric vehicle production line.

This production line is the second electric vehicle production line after the Heping electric vehicle production line. It is much faster than the electric vehicle production lines in other provinces and more than twice as fast as the electric vehicle production lines in Mexico and Germany.

"Mr. Zhang, I heard that the annual profit of Shenzhen Heping Automobile Factory was 6 million magnesium yuan last year?" The middle-aged man with glasses in the co-pilot seat looked at Zhang Heping expectantly.

Zhang Heping smiled and said: "Among them, 2 million magnesium yuan was used for the research and development of new extended-range electric vehicles, so last year's profit was only 4 million magnesium yuan."

The bespectacled man from the Ministry of Industry glanced at Huang Xuemin, who was sitting next to him in the back row, and flattered him with a smile, "In the first year of the factory's establishment, it made a profit of 6 million magnesium yuan. Mr. Zhang is really a young and promising man."

Huang Xuemin raised his right hand to support his forehead to hide the smile on his face. He didn't want to remind this comrade from the Ministry of Industry that he was actually about the same age as Zhang Heping.

Zhang Heping didn't take it seriously and responded with a smile: "The reason we made so much profit in the first year is mainly because we invested a lot of money in advertising in the early stage."

The man with glasses leaned to one side and asked hopefully, "Mr. Zhang, can you tell me more about this?"

"You can learn from advertising. Quality is the most important thing." Zhang Heping reminded him. When he saw the other party nodded, he talked about the money he spent on making the Ghost Blows Out the Light movie and the subsequent TV and newspaper advertisements placed around the world.

"The advertising fee alone cost 5000 million magnesium yuan?" The middle-aged man with glasses was a little unbelievable.

Zhang Heping smiled and said, "That was last year's advertising fee. This year, because of the depreciation of the magnesium dollar, we will spend more money."

"Advertising fees..." The man with glasses felt a little depressed, because although television advertising and newspaper advertising were popular in the country.

However, if they want Dongfeng Electric Vehicles to advertise abroad, especially in capitalist countries, it may be difficult for them to approve their application.

If we fail, we won’t be able to make profits like the Heping Automobile Factory.

It is said that this person is not from the Second Automobile Manufacturing Plant. The reason why he cares so much about Dongfeng electric vehicles is mainly because he is in charge of this production line. The better the sales of Dongfeng electric vehicles, the better his preliminary work has been done.

After Zhang Heping arrived in Checheng, he was arranged to visit Wudang Mountain, where he worked with several Taoists who knew Tai Chi. Unfortunately, the Tai Chi they practiced was for health preservation and not very aggressive.

After waiting for another day, Zhang Heping followed a group of Wucheng leaders to visit the electric vehicle production workshop of the Second Automobile Manufacturing Plant.

Then I watched the parts being assembled on the automatic production line and production island, and finally taking shape...

Zhang Heping also had another mission when he came here, which was to help them inspect and accept the electric vehicle production line.

So, when others went to test drive the cars, he was still hanging around in the workshop, with some engineers following behind him, ready to answer Zhang Heping's questions at any time.

...

Rijima, Umbrella Security Company's Dongdu branch.

"Manager Zhu, the three of us have decided to buy three houses."

Zhu Chengguang, the head of the Dongdu branch of the Umbrella Protection Company, looked at the three young security staff blocking the road and said with a smile, "That's right! I told you that I'm going to help you get rich, but you're still hesitant and want to consider it."

"Let me tell you, the preferential price your boss gave you was the lowest price five years ago, only one-third of the current market price. I have bought 5 apartments with loans, what are you afraid of?"

A young security guard laughed awkwardly: "Manager Zhu, we are not afraid, we just invested our money in the stock market, haha!"

Zhu Chengguang put away the three housing applications they handed over and said casually, "Okay, go back and prepare the money."

"Also, the boss said that once the purchase contract is signed and the down payment is received, you can buy and sell the house freely. Don't act like you're trying to cheat me out of your money."

"Why don't you ask around? Employees from Hong Kong Island who want to buy houses from Japan Island all pay the market price!"

Another young security guard smiled and said, "Manager Zhu, we were wrong. Please forgive us!"

Zhu Chengguang waved his hand to send the people away, then returned to the office. After putting down the housing application, he turned on the monitor and looked at the stock curve chart in the Heping Financial Software in the office.

By the way, with Mr. Zhu's salary, there is no need for him to take out a loan to buy a house, because his money has also been invested in the Japanese stock market.

...

January 1, Wucheng Airport.

When Zhang Heping got off the plane, only eight people came to greet him.

But after Huang Xuemin received a donation of 3000 million yuan from the Peace Charity Foundation, the number of people who came to see Zhang Heping off to board the plane increased many times, and they even escorted him all the way to the boarding gate.

As the magnesium dollar depreciated, the RMB also adjusted accordingly for the sake of product competitiveness.

From last year's 1 magnesium dollar to 2.93 RMB, it has depreciated to the current 1 magnesium dollar to 3.1 RMB, and it seems that it will continue to depreciate.

However, looking at the way these people sent Zhang Heping on board the plane, Huang Xuemin is afraid that he will not be able to live to see the day when the RMB continues to depreciate, and someone will exchange his magnesium dollars for the money to buy foreign equipment.

"Uncle Huang!" Zhang Heping shook Huang Xuemin's hand in front of the other people who saw him off, and said sternly, "Five years ago, I donated several hundred million to the Hope Project Fund, but they couldn't provide a detailed breakdown of how the money was spent, so I haven't donated money to them since then."

Huang Xuemin was stunned for a moment before he understood what Zhang Heping meant. "Heping, don't worry! I will have people carefully record every penny of this donation and will never let anyone embezzle it."

"Okay!" Zhang Heping smiled calmly, "If the money is not enough, come to Hong Kong Island to find me with the detailed expenses."

Huang Xuemin was stunned again when he heard Zhang Heping’s last words!

It was not until he was surrounded by people and left the airport and heard his second-in-command say that he would be given more responsibilities that he looked towards the distant airport with emotion.

Sitting in the car, Huang Xuemin couldn't help but recall the scene that winter when Zhang Heping delivered fish to him in order to help his mother get a job and settle down in the capital.

Many years passed in a flash, and just when Huang Xuemin had accepted his fate and was ready to retire, he didn't expect that this guy would spare no expense to give him a push!

Zhang Heping didn’t know whether Beihu Province would promote Huang Xuemin, after all, Huang was already quite old.

Therefore, most of what Zhang Heping said when he boarded the plane was to prevent the money from being misappropriated by other departments.

If Huang Xuemin could really get promoted, he wouldn't mind investing in Beihu Province in the future, because his father-in-law Tang Ming had told him before that the higher-ups were discussing the Foreign Investment Enterprise Law.

To put it simply, once the Foreign Investment Enterprises Law is released, the Heping Group will be able to establish independent foreign-invested companies and factories in the mainland without having to form joint ventures with anyone.

Zhang Heping returned to the capital and visited Zhao Jianguo, whose hair had returned to baldness. He told them about the hair transplant after the New Year. The next day, Zhang Heping took Zhang Bei and Zhang Nan, who had just finished their final exams, back to Hong Kong Island by plane.

Because he is quite busy this year, Zhang Heping not only has to pay attention to Japan Island, but also has to jump between Heping Hospital and Medical Research Institute. He has not yet decided where to spend the New Year.

He wanted to invite his parents to Hong Kong Island to celebrate the New Year, but the three-story row of buildings on the north bank of Houhai had been built, and they needed to gather people for the New Year this year, so Zhang Heping did not invite them to Hong Kong Island.

As for the first wife Tang Xin, Zhang Heping arranged her to be the general manager of Heping Investment Company, giving her the approval authority for the 6 trillion yen investment in Japan. She was also tied to the private equity funds invested by the wives' circle of Heping Real Estate, so it was not easy for her to take the children back first as in previous years.

Tang Xin was actually not used to suddenly having such a large authority to approve funds.

In particular, she had to face many people asking her this and that every day, which made her deeply realize how difficult it was for Chen Shuting to socialize outside.

Because Tang Xin understood how difficult it was for Chen Shuting, the two sisters became more and more in sync with each other at night, which made Zhang Heping realize what it means that women are like wolves at thirty and tigers at forty!

Zhang Heping didn't know about Tang Xin's change of mindset, but he had some doubts. The reason why these two women were trying so hard to cater to his criticism recently was because he looked at those female stars a little too much on New Year's Day, which made them feel a sense of crisis.

...

After Peace Investment Company invested the money into the Japanese stock market, although it occasionally made small capital operations of selling high and buying low, it was to stabilize the prices of related stocks and had no intention of stirring up trouble in the Japanese stock market.

The motive of the stepmother investment company was more obvious. She enclosed land, built houses, and sold houses. She integrated the real estate sales model of Hong Kong Island into the pre-sale system of Japan Island, which led to the rapid development of real estate in Japan's eastern capital.

In addition, the Hong Kong stock market has also been rising steadily after the intervention of the Peace Group.

This gives outsiders the illusion that Heping Group is making long-term investments again.

Japan, Europe and Magnesium are all capitalist countries. They are most afraid of big capital disrupting the market. They have been guarding against the huge cash flow of Peace Group.

But after Zhang Heping proposed the circuit breaker mechanism and first implemented it in the Hong Kong stock market, Japan, Europe and Magnesium all copied this circuit breaker mechanism. Then they were no longer afraid of the huge amount of funds of the Heping Group. Instead, they welcomed the Heping Group to invest in their countries.

So, as time goes by, more and more foreign companies are looking for cooperation with Heping Group.

In particular, on the day when the Challenger space shuttle exploded, the Peace Electric Vehicle 2.0 extended-range version with a range of 320 kilometers was advertised globally, and car manufacturers and oil producers could not sit still.

The Feiyue 2.0, a Heping brand electric sedan, is priced at 10 magnesium yuan per unit; the Benfang 2.0, an electric off-road vehicle, is priced at 8 magnesium yuan per unit, prices that are still acceptable to car manufacturers.

However, the Heping brand electric mini car Jingzhi 2.0 only sells for 1 magnesium yuan, which makes car manufacturers and petrochemical companies unhappy.

Because this mini electric car that costs only 1 yuan can run 320 kilometers after being fully charged!

Therefore, not only foreigners are looking for Zhang Heping to talk to him, but even mainland car companies are looking for people to contact Zhang Heping, hoping that the price of Heping cars will be doubled and the mileage will be reduced!

As a result, no one expected that the Peace Group announced that it was planning to list the Peace Automobile Factory on Hong Kong Island!

As a result, various capitals, like sharks smelling blood, have extended olive branches to the Peace Group.

Top floor of the Medical Research Institute, Central, Hong Kong Island.

When Zhang Heping was studying the characteristics of his own cells in his independent laboratory, Director Wang Sumei came to him.

She was currently talking to Zhang Heping in the laboratory through a microphone across a glass wall.

"Heping, do you know how many people in the country oppose the listing of Heping Automobile Factory?"

Zhang Heping looked at the real-time images sent back by the electron microscope and said nonchalantly, "Sooner or later, the domestic securities market will be established. I just let the Heping Automobile Factory come out first to show them the power of foreign capital."

"Besides, the core technology of electric vehicles lies in the battery! Aunt Wang, why are you so excited?"

"How can I not be excited?" Wang Sumei said loudly into the microphone: "Someone has proposed to buy back your Peace Automobile shares according to the agreement!"

"Sure!" Zhang Heping said indifferently, "According to the exit mechanism in the agreement, if they want to buy back my 51% shares, they have to convert the market value of the Heping Automobile Factory into 20 times the profit of the previous year."

"If they don't want to go public, I can sell all my shares to them. Anyway, I have shares in several car companies in Japan, and I can still make electric cars in other places!"

Faced with Zhang Heping's threats, Wang Sumei became even more angry. She knew that Zhang Heping was waiting here for the voices from the mainland that opposed him.

Although she was angry, Wang Sumei couldn't really be angry with Zhang Heping. If she really made Zhang Heping run away, it would be a big trouble, even bigger than losing the Heping Automobile Factory.

Wang Sumei sat behind the microphone and said helplessly, "What on earth do you want to do, little brat?"

"Didn't I just say that? We just want the Heping Automobile Factory to come out first." Zhang Heping didn't look at Director Wang behind him, and his tone was still casual.

"Auntie Wang, you asked me before why I invested so much money in Japan. Have you ever thought about why I didn't invest that money in Hong Kong Island or in China?"

Wang Sumei remained silent. She still hadn't figured out why Zhang Heping invested tens of billions of dollars in Japan. Although he had invested money and donated money in China, so far only the Heping Automobile Factory, the Optical Card Factory, and the Precision Instrument Factory could be considered factories he actually invested in, and the others could only be considered donations.

The key point is that Zhang Heping now wants to give up even the profitable Heping Automobile Factory!

"Without the phoenix tree, you can't attract the golden phoenix!" Zhang Heping manipulated the instrument and continued, "Hong Kong Island may seem prosperous, but in the eyes of big capitalists, it is just a transit station for tax evasion."

Wang Sumei frowned and asked, "What does this have to do with your listing of the Heping Automobile Factory?"

Zhang Heping said calmly: "By doing this, Hong Kong Island will have another listed company that attracts foreign investment, and we can also raise some money to build branches of the Heping Automobile Factory at home and abroad."

In fact, Zhang Heping did this because of the five electric vehicle production lines in the United States and Germany.

After urging the foreigners to provide the equipment for the automobile production line for so long, Zhang Heping still hasn't sent all the equipment to the foreigners. Now that the one-year contract is about to expire, Zhang Heping is not willing to breach the contract and pay compensation.

Just after Director Wang left, Tang Lie, Tang Qiang and others came again, wanting to re-sign a contract with Tingmei Trading and pay more money to purchase the 2.0 extended-range electric vehicle production line.

Zhang Heping clearly rejected the request of his two nephews. "You go back and wait. If the mainland agrees to let Heping Automobile Factory go public in Hong Kong, I plan to merge and reorganize with your Meiguo electric car factory and the Deguo electric car factory, and then go public to raise money."
