Break out of the courtyard

Chapter 625: Councillor Aso's Protection

Zhang Heping didn't take the leather document bag handed to him by Director Wang, and continued to walk towards the Peace Hotel next door. "Before, I donated 3000 million magnesium yuan to them. Did he give Aunt Wang the detailed expenses of this part?"

"Give it!"

Wang Sumei took out another cowhide file bag, and Zhang Heping took the two file bags.

Zhang Heping didn't look at the detailed expense list. That thing was just used to test the attitudes of Huang Xuemin and others.

They gave a detailed breakdown of the expenses, indicating that they were willing to listen to Zhang Heping and showing a cooperative attitude.

As for the IPO plan, Zhang Heping took a quick look at it and put it back into the file bag.

"Heping, what do you think?" Wang Sumei looked at Zhang Heping hopefully.

Zhang Heping said calmly: "Beihu Province has no economic development zone. They want to revitalize the local loss-making factories through foreign investment; but they dare not hand over the controlling stake, fearing that they will be accused of capitalism."

"This kind of timid behavior, coupled with the already rigid management, means that no matter how much money is invested, it will all go to waste!"

When Wang Sumei heard this, a look of disappointment appeared on her face.

However, when Zhang Heping took out his mobile phone and called Huang Wenli, Wang Sumei's face showed joy again.

After receiving the call, Huang Wenli hurried down from the Economic and Trade Building and rushed to the restaurant on the second floor of the Peace Hotel, where she found Zhang Heping at the main table in the front.

"Heping, are you really going to invest in Wucheng?" Huang Wenli asked with a little surprise.

Zhang Heping handed a leather document bag to Huang Wenli and said with a smile, "Take a look at the IPO plan inside and tell me what you think."

Huang Wenli took the file bag, sat down next to Director Wang, took out the information and began to read it carefully.

She has been rotating among companies under the Peace Group for more than three years, and her knowledge and vision are no longer what they used to be.

So, when she finished reading Beihu Province's IPO plan, she frowned and subconsciously looked at Director Wang.

Zhang Heping on the side did not urge Huang Wenli. He was busy dealing with the mainlanders who kept coming over to greet him.

Seeing that more and more people were gathering in the restaurant, and those experts and scholars who had just come from the mainland were all looking at the main table, Huang Wenli had to stand up and give up her seat, and told Zhang Heping and Director Wang her thoughts.

"Heping, from the company's perspective, I don't recommend investing in the factories listed in this IPO plan." Huang Wenli said seriously, "If we can't control these factories, our company will have no say. Not only can we not guide their production, but we can't even guarantee the capital invested."

"Yes!" After shaking hands with the five veteran experts, Zhang Heping turned to Huang Wenli and said, "Go and draw up a plan for investing in Wucheng to test what you have learned in the past few years."

"Me?" Huang Wenli was a little surprised.

"Nonsense!" Zhang Heping looked at Director Wang, who was smiling, and joked, "With your father over there, how can we be worthy of the word capitalist if we don't collude with the government?"

Huang Wenli calmed down and saw Director Wang nodding at her. She then looked at Chen Shuting who looked casual, and then said to Zhang Heping: "Okay! I'll give you the draft of the investment plan as soon as possible!"

Zhang Heping was busy entertaining the experts and scholars who had just arrived from the mainland, and didn't care how fast Huang Wenli's request was.

As a result, that night, Huang Wenli went to Zhang's house with the Wucheng investment plan that she had discussed with her father, reviewed by Wang Sumei, and submitted to Mr. Hua for review.

"Wucheng Tianhe Airport?" Zhang Heping threw the thin investment plan onto the coffee table. "Student Wenli, you've been in Hong Kong Island for so long, and this is the level you've reached?"

Huang Wenli was a little overwhelmed. This was a project she had discussed with her father many times, and she finally came up with a very feasible project because there was a sample of the Banna Airport!

Chen Shuting, who was originally reading the newspaper, took out her little notebook and prepared to record her husband's possible financial arrangements later.

Director Wang Sumei sat quietly aside and did not disturb Zhang Heping, because at noon, Zhang Heping had already made it clear that he wanted to invest in Wucheng, and that was enough.

As for the process, Wang Sumei didn't care much because she felt that she could not keep up with Zhang Heping's thinking.

"Heping, this is just a draft. If you agree to this project, I will try my best to improve this investment plan later." Huang Wenli thought that Zhang Heping was not satisfied with this minimalist investment plan, so she tried her best to explain:

"This Tianhe Airport received approval from above in July last year. As long as Hailukong Company invests in Wucheng Tianhe Airport like it did in Banna Airport..."

Zhang Heping waved his hand to interrupt Huang Wenli's explanation, frowned and asked: "Why do you want to invest in building Tianhe Airport in Wucheng? How did you convince the board of directors of Hailukong Company to invest this money?"

"I..." Huang Wenli thought quickly and said slowly, "Wucheng has convenient water and land transportation. The construction cost of Tianhe Airport is only about 4 million yuan, which is only one-third of the construction cost of Banna Airport."

Zhang Heping looked at Huang Wenli without making any statement, and gave an attitude that asked her to continue.

Based on the second question Zhang Heping just raised, Huang Wenli began to think about how to convince the land, sea and air companies.

Initially, Heping Group persuaded the board of directors of Hailukong Company to invest in Banna Airport by using the tourism prospects of Banna.

So, what are the advantages of Wucheng? Why is it worth investing?

"Go back and think about it slowly!" Zhang Heping picked up the newspaper and continued reading. "Investment is about telling stories. You have to impress investors with your stories to get their money!"

"Since you want to use the money from the Air-Land-Sea Company, you have to find a way to convince their board of directors and shareholders instead of coming to me in the middle of the night to deal with the matter."

...

The next day, the weekend.

The new medical staff refused to go out shopping because they had no money and started to work.

Then they were shocked by the flow of people at Peace Hospital.

"Register and pay on the left, get medicine on the right. It's similar to hospitals in China, except there are a lot more electronic devices."

"Sister Dongmei, are there so many people here every day?"

“Are those in black uniforms the Hong Kong police?”

"Many office workers take a break on weekends, so there are slightly more people on Saturdays and Sundays. Those people in black uniforms are security guards from the Umbrella Security Company, responsible for our safety on Hong Kong Island. When you go shopping outside in the future, it is best to apply for a security guard to accompany you, which will save you a lot of trouble."

"Sister Dongmei, what are the people queuing in the left corner doing?"

"That's the office of the Peace Charity Foundation. If there are patients who can't afford the medical expenses, they can go there to apply."

"Sister Dongmei, didn't you say that Heping Hospital's fees are very cheap?"

“It’s really cheap, so most of the people who go there to apply for the fees are those with serious illnesses.”

"AIDS? Sister Dongmei, is AIDS highly contagious? They're advertising it in the hospital lobby!"

"Teacher Zhang asked to put the bulletin board here, not only for outsiders to see, but also for us medical staff to see, to remind us to protect ourselves at all times."

After a few chattering nurses walked through the lobby of Heping Hospital, several waves of medical staff in groups of three or five came in, pointing and talking, trying to understand everything in the hospital.

Zhang Heping walked around the hospital and saw that the new medical staff were all accompanied by someone, so he went to the Big Health Medical Research Institute at the back.

Zhang Heping looked down on the human science researched in Institute 507, not because of the genetic research he was planning, but because the human science research there had no progress at all and all the experimental subjects he encountered were liars.

After Zhang Heping arrived at the Medical Research Institute, he held a meeting for new and old researchers.

Due to the continuity of the research project and too many uncertainties, among the first and second batches of researchers, only five people with improper attitudes were sent back by Zhang Heping, while the others had to continue to stay in Hong Kong Island.

Fortunately, Zhang Heping offered these researchers good remuneration. There was a joke going viral in China that "those who hold scalpels are worse than those who hold razors." In addition, Zhang Heping did not prevent them from communicating with the domestic academic community, so he was able to retain them. This year, the group welcomed 12 new researchers.

After finishing his work at the Medical Research Institute, Zhang Heping went to the Computer Research Center next door for a while, then returned home and gave himself half a day off to deal with the Tang family.

Because of his third son Tang Qiang's affairs, the eldest brother-in-law Tang Ren rushed back from Taiwan with a group of concubines.

This 62-year-old brother-in-law has been setting up businesses in various Southeast Asian countries in recent years and has scattered his children and grandchildren. Although it is no longer a big deal, the family is also broken up, and the whole family can only see each other during the Chinese New Year.

Zhang Heping accompanied Tang Ren to the shooting range to shoot some guns. On the way back, they stopped by Phase 2 of the Umbrella Community for a stroll.

"My brother-in-law is really capable!" Tang Ren looked at the tall buildings in this newly built community and said with emotion: "If it were me, I would just give them some money and then fire them."

Zhang Heping nodded to several family members of employees who greeted him and said casually: "They worked hard to build this company. I just helped them build a company platform."

"Without the guidance of my brother-in-law, they wouldn't have achieved what they have today." Tang Ren said, and then turned the topic to his sons. "It's the same for A Lie and A Qiang. Without the support of your uncle, they wouldn't have their current family business."

Zhang Heping smiled but said nothing, not wanting to respond to the other party's words.

Tang Ren didn't insist too much because Tang Qiang had already done that, and he just came back to play the emotional card.

In recent years, Tang Ren's family has been busy with their own business and have met Zhang Heping less and less frequently. In addition, Zhang Heping has been spending the New Year in the capital with his wife and children in recent years, and their friendship, which was not deep to begin with, has gradually faded.

So, after Tang Ren came back this morning, he just made an appointment with Zhang Heping to go to the shooting range to shoot, and then took a walk.

...

The next day was Monday, August 8th.

Rijima, Dongdu Stock Exchange.

The Aso couple, who had dealt with the Ministry of Finance last Friday, were invited to sit in the VIP room of the exchange.

"In September last year, Peace Investment Company exchanged 9 trillion yen and spent three months to invest in our country's stocks. The stock market they pulled up attracted a large number of foreign investors to follow suit. However, since June this year, the stocks held by Peace Investment Company have been continuously sold, causing our stock market to fluctuate!"

Councillor Aso frowned and said, "Fujiwara-san, what exactly do you want to do?"

The short, fat middle-aged man named Fujiwara said, "Mr. Aso, Peace Investment Company's securities account now has 7 trillion yen in liquid funds. We are worried that he will withdraw his capital, causing other foreign investors to follow suit and withdraw!"

"So..." Congressman Aso frowned as he looked at this ordinary civil servant from the Ministry of Finance, suspecting that he was a victim sent by the Ministry of Finance to deal with Heping Investment.

Fatty Fujiwara continued, "I want to apply to freeze part of the securities accounts of Peace Investment Company on suspicion of manipulating stock prices!"

"Fujiwara, do you know that Peace Group's stepmother investment company has assets in our Eastern Capital of more than 15 trillion yen?" Congressman Aso looked at him coldly, "If Peace Group withdraws all its investment from our Japanese island because of this, can you bear the responsibility?"

"Mr. Aso, the market is open!" The head of the Dongdu Stock Exchange pointed to a computer monitor and interrupted, "As of now, the securities account transactions of Peace Investment Company are all normal position changes, unlike the fast in and out of capital in Magnesium."

"Look at the securities accounts of Peace Investment Company. They are still buying stocks in small amounts. It doesn't look like they are going to withdraw funds in the short term."

"Excuse me for being blunt, but if Mr. Fujiwara really froze the securities account of Peace Investment Company, it would really cause them to withdraw their capital. In addition, because Mr. Fujiwara froze the foreign capital account first, it must be Mr. Fujiwara who scared away other foreign capital. If this causes our stock market to plummet, Mr. Fujiwara cannot bear this responsibility!"

Congressman Aso looked at the silent Fatty Fujiwara and said coldly, "This matter ends here. Even if Peace Investment Company wants to withdraw its investment, it is their freedom! We cannot damage the international reputation of Japan because of your imagination!"

...

Zhang Heping went to Heping Investment Company this morning and then went to Heping Hospital. He had no idea that someone in Japan's Ministry of Finance wanted to freeze his funds.

At this time in Japan, large, medium and small export companies, after experiencing a sharp drop in initial export orders, took policy loans and joined the foreign exchange speculation army.

If the Japanese upper echelons had not stuck to the exchange rate of 160 yen:1 magnesium dollar, these foreign exchange speculators would not have rushed into the Japanese stock market to help Heping Investment Company get out of its predicament.

Today, the Japanese stock market has been fluctuating downward for more than half a month, and the funds under Peace Investment Company have completed a position of 2.8 trillion yen, basically completing the mid-field position replacement task.

As for the remaining 7 trillion yen, only 1 trillion yen is planned to continue to be invested in the Japanese stock market, and the other 6 trillion yen is planned to be withdrawn quietly.

Zhang Heping did not want to alarm other foreign investors, because Stepmother Investment and Huayingxiong Company still needed capital from various sources to take over.

"I heard that your hospital is owned by the richest man Zhang, and the best doctor is also Zhang. Can you ask him to perform surgery on my mother?"

"You all know that Mr. Zhang is the richest man in Hong Kong Island. Don't you know that he is very busy? How could he have time to perform appendectomy on your mother?"

"Hey! I'm just asking casually."

Zhang Heping glanced at the gastrointestinal surgeon's office and ignored what the patient's family said.

Recently, there are fewer and fewer surgeries that require his hands-on guidance. This is also thanks to the surgical videos contributed by other doctors and the cadavers donated from all over the world, which allow other doctors to practice while watching videos and learning.

In addition, the medical staff who assisted in the construction of the Peace Hospital are all experienced veterans. They just need to adapt to the pace of foreign countries and then learn the new techniques taught by Zhang Heping.

Zhang Heping came here today just to check the course teaching arrangements for the newly recruited medical students.

Only when the beginning is done well, the subsequent work will be much smoother, just like what happened with Peace Investment...
