Break out of the courtyard

Chapter 632: Star Wars is heating up

The reason for tonight's dinner is that the Hong Kong Umbrella Security Company recently purchased buildings in Repulse Bay and Deep Water Bay, which are expected to be used as dormitories for peripheral personnel and new employees.

Some of these Hong Kong and Macao real estate developers have properties there, and some hope that companies under the Peace Group will consider their properties elsewhere when purchasing properties in the future.

As for what to eat in the evening, it doesn’t matter, it’s just what you need.

Zhang Heping took Zhang Pandi and Wang Qin to have a brief acquaintance with these real estate developers. After his second sister received their business cards, Zhang Heping sat next to his father-in-law Tang Ming and chatted about their recent situation.

The second sister, Zhang Pandi, is 38 years old this year and has 21 years of work experience. She did not seem restrained when chatting with a group of real estate developers.

On the contrary, Wang Qin, a young girl who just graduated in June this year, seemed a little restrained.

A real estate developer saw Zhang Heping serving soup to Tang Ming and took the opportunity to ask, "Mr. Zhang, do you think the housing prices in Ridao Dongdu will continue to rise?"

"There is still an expectation of an increase, after all, Japan's loan interest rate is only 2.5%!" Zhang Heping put the soup bowl in front of his father-in-law Tang Ming and smiled faintly: "However, how long this rise will last depends on when Japan's loan policy changes."

The real estate developers around were listening attentively, and someone immediately flattered him, "Mr. Zhang, your insight is brilliant. No wonder you were able to plan the real estate in Higashima East Capital five or six years in advance!"

Because it was rare to see Zhang Heping, the richest man, a real estate developer nearby asked, "Mr. Zhang, what do you think about us going to other cities in Japan to do real estate now?"

Zhang Heping smiled without saying anything, picked up the tea and took a sip.

While other real estate developers were still pondering the deeper meaning of Zhang Heping's refusal to answer this question, someone else started asking.

Although there are many colleagues around, it does not prevent the questioner from looking for business opportunities from the richest man Zhang.

In the following days, Zhang Heping still went to Harmony Hospital in the morning and went to Mr. Hua's office to look at materials in the afternoon.

On October 10, the heads of MGSU met in Iceland.

In the afternoon, when Zhang Heping walked into Mr. Hua's office, he found Mr. Hua sitting on the sofa listening to the foreign language station on the radio, with a young female translator next to him.

"The main topic of the meeting between Magnesium and the Soviet Union has been revealed!" When Mr. Hua saw Zhang Heping coming in, he frowned and said in a deep voice: "Northern Soviet Union wants Magnesium to make concessions on the 'Strategic Defense Initiative', and Magnesium wants Northern Soviet Union to reduce its nuclear weapons and medium-range missiles."

"Western Europe's Eureka Project has been launched for more than a year, and the Magnesium people will definitely not give in! Otherwise, Magnesium's technology will lag behind Western European countries." Zhang Heping walked to the back of the desk and sat down, and analyzed calmly: "Add to that the 863 Project we are promoting, and the Magnesium people will not dare to give in even a little bit!"

Magnesium's "Strategic Defense Plan" was proposed in 1980 and was jokingly called the "Star Wars Plan" by many Magnesians.

Last year, news came out from Magnesium that they had invested billions of magnesium dollars in the "Star Wars Project".

As soon as this news came out, Western Europe's Eureka Project was forced to go online.

The 863 Plan that is currently being studied in the Mainland was forced out by the Strategic Defense Plan and the Eureka Plan!

Mr. Hua also felt that the Magnesian people would not make concessions, because once the number of nuclear weapons reached a certain level, no matter how many nuclear weapons they had, they would not be able to affect the strategic balance between Magnesium and the Soviet Union.

In other words, even if North Russia, which currently possesses a large number of nuclear weapons, reduces some of its nuclear weapons, it will not have much impact on its super combat power.

On the contrary, if the "Strategic Defense Plan" of the Magnesium Country gives in, it will have to face the Eureka Plan of Western Europe and the 863 Plan of the mainland.

For now, the mainland shows signs of surpassing magnesium in the fields of information technology and energy technology.

Because at the beginning of the year, the Chinese announced that they had developed 256M memory and 2GHz processor, but they have not yet started mass production and sales.

As for 1G graphics cards, the Chinese have not mentioned this item at all. However, there are many Chinese companies that want to introduce graphics card manufacturing technology, but the mainland has not given in.

In terms of energy technology, thanks to the "Oscillating Water Column Pneumatic Wave Energy Power Station" built by the protagonist on Hong Kong Island, not only have many such power stations been built along the eastern coast, but a lot of related equipment has also been exported.

Then there is the Taishan thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plant. Once this nuclear power plant passes the acceptance inspection, China will achieve a zero breakthrough in nuclear power plants!

The key point is that the magnesium guys are still coveting the mainland's thorium-based molten salt reactor technology!

In addition, Zhang Heping has also promoted the fields of biotechnology, automation technology, and new materials.

For example, the medical research institutes in the capital, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong Island, as well as the Shenzhen ultra-thin color screen joint venture production plant and the automated production of the Heping Automobile Factory, etc.

In addition, research in aerospace technology, laser technology, superconducting technology, modern agricultural technology and other fields is currently very weak to the outside world.

The aircraft manufacturing project is still waiting for the technology from McDonnell Douglas of Magnesium.

Because there was a translator present, Mr. Hua did not communicate much with Zhang Heping. After Zhang Heping finished revising the high-tech materials, he went straight home.

In fact, if Zhang Heping is willing to participate in the high-tech seminar, it will greatly accelerate the implementation of the 863 plan.

But in order to continue traveling around Hong Kong Island, Zhang Heping did not want to show his face in public, even though the seminar was top secret.

Taking into account the earning ability of the Heping Group and the foreign exchange that Zhang Heping returned to the country, the higher-ups agreed to the current model: the plan is discussed at the seminar, Zhang Heping modifies and supplements the relevant information with Mr. Hua, and then the plan is returned to the seminar for further discussion.

Because the areas involved are wide and there are many projects, it took a lot of time to go back and forth.

...

The next day, on the 12th, when the Eagle King visited the mainland's capital, the negotiations between China and Russia entered a deadlock.

That afternoon, because Zhang Heping was going to perform argon-helium cryoablation on Mr. Lu's intracranial brain tumor, he did not go to Mr. Hua's place to listen to the radio.

Argon-helium cryoablation, also known as argon-helium knife, is a new minimally invasive ultra-low temperature cryoablation procedure for tumors. No one else has done it, which is why Zhang Heping was needed to perform the surgery.

For this reason, the observation room next to the operating room was packed with doctors. Even Director Zhao of the Department of Neurosurgery at Xuanwu Hospital, who was far away in Hong Kong Island, flew back this morning with several of his disciples.

The three argon-helium knife devices in the operating room were custom-made by Zhang Heping according to the drawings and were only delivered to Capital Harmony Hospital last night.

After a morning of testing, the three argon-helium knife devices, each the size of a bedside table, showed no problems.

With the help of medical staff, Mr. Lu, who was in the late stage of cancer, lay on the operating table.

Zhang Heping randomly selected an argon-helium knife device and pushed it to the side of the operating table, then sat in front of the patient's head, waiting for others to adjust the camera.

Mr. Lu on the operating table was only half anesthetized and his head was fixed, so he could only move his eyes to look around, his thoughts wandering.

Just as he was expressing his admiration for how young Dr. Zhang, who was operating on him today, was, several assisting doctors and nurses around him, as well as the doctor in the observation room next door, all clapped their hands.

"All right!" Zhang Heping left his seat, stood to the left of the patient, and looked down at him. "Mr. Lu, the first phase of treatment is over. In the next three months, you must eat and rest on time, and don't cause trouble for our second phase of treatment!"

Facing Zhang Heping's smiling eyes, Elder Lu on the bed smiled back, "Okay, thank you, Doctor Zhang!"

"The patient is conscious and speaks clearly. Send him back to the ward for observation!" Zhang Heping said, then he left the operating room with peace of mind.

After Zhang Heping changed his clothes and shoes, he was welcomed into the conference room by a group of doctors. The video of the operation that had just lasted only 15 minutes was replayed, and Zhang Heping once again explained the usage techniques and precautions of the argon-helium knife.

After half an hour of discussion in the conference room, news came from the operating room that three cancer patients who had volunteered to undergo the new surgery were ready.

Then, Zhang Heping brought the medical staff into the operating room and began on-site teaching.

Mr. Lu is a top-secret expert in the country. He used a pseudonym when he was admitted to the hospital. Zhang Heping participated in every operation. This time, the new surgical procedure was guaranteed by Zhang Heping, and after a morning of on-site drills and tests, it was allowed to be used on Mr. Lu's head.

The operation on Dr. Lu was performed by Zhang Heping, but other patients did not receive such good treatment and eventually had to be performed by other doctors.

That night, Zhang Heping and a group of excited doctors worked until late, performing 30 cancer surgeries using the argon-helium knife equipment, involving treatments for lung cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, kidney cancer, etc.

Deputy Director Qin of the Cancer Treatment Research Institute of Harmonious Hospital, accompanied by two men in green military uniforms, followed Zhang Heping and his group of doctors into the hospital cafeteria. "Director Zhang, these two are Director Hu and Deputy Director Jiang, who manufacture the argon-helium knife equipment."

Zhang Heping looked at the two middle-aged men in confusion, stretched out his hand and shook theirs, "What's the matter?"

The two factory managers were still surprised at Zhang Heping's youth and were not sure whether this man could make decisions.

But Deputy Director Qin at the side did not dare to delay and quickly replied: "Director Zhang, according to previous practice, our institute will authorize the factory that produces the medical equipment you designed first to produce it. Director Hu and his team want to confirm the authorization with you, and then bring the argon-helium knife equipment to participate in the autumn Canton Fair."

"Just follow the previous practices and notify Tingmei Trading." After Zhang Heping finished speaking, he walked to the table where President Lu and Director Zhao were sitting.

After Director Lu of the Harmonious Hospital took Zhang Heping to sit down, he picked up the teacup and said to the doctors inside and outside the hospital: "Everyone, let's use tea instead of wine to toast Director Zhang and thank him for his selfless teaching of argon-helium cryoablation!"

Zhang Heping stood up and raised his glass, saying to the doctors who stood up, "Cheers to the medical workers who are constantly learning and researching new technologies!"

After taking a sip of tea, Dean Lu apologized to Zhang Heping on his left, "Director Zhang, I'm sorry for not treating you well so late!"

"How dare you say that!" Zhang Heping picked up a piece of twice-cooked pork with chopsticks and complained bluntly, "It's time for dinner, but you didn't even come to remind us. We're starving now."

"It's my fault! It's my fault!" Dean Lu smiled and picked up a chicken leg from the soup pot for Zhang Heping.

"It's our fault!" The head of the oncology department of the Third Hospital said embarrassedly, "We kept clamoring to continue the surgery and neglected dinner."

"It's just a joke, let's eat quickly." Zhang Heping picked up the chicken leg and took a big bite.

After everyone finished eating and walked out of the cafeteria, Mr. Hua's secretary found Zhang Heping, took him out of the hospital first, and got into Mr. Hua's Hongqi car.

"Peace, the negotiations of Meisu have broken down!"

As soon as Zhang Heping sat down, Mr. Hua told him an unexpected result.

However, when Mr. Hua came to pick up Zhang Heping so late, he was not just sending Zhang Heping home.

The car started and moved forward slowly. Mr. Hua's voice sounded again, "At 11 o'clock tonight, news came from Magnesium that they agreed to allow our international students to choose aviation-related majors in Magnesium universities."

"Ha!" Zhang Heping sneered, "Then expel the Chinese from the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant and let the Chinese students choose nuclear power plant-related majors in domestic universities."

Mr. Hua knew that this guy had a problem with the Magnesian people, so he said patiently, "The thorium-based molten salt reactor-related equipment in the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant is confidential and will definitely not be leaked to the Magnesian people. We just want those Magnesian people to witness the successful operation of the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant. Do you think it's okay?"

"It's up to you!" Zhang Heping shook his head helplessly. For the sake of maintaining stability and development, many things cannot be decided based on personal temperament.

What's more, the equipment sent to the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant for assembly are all finished equipment, and it is indeed difficult for the core technology to be leaked.

Hearing that Zhang Heping agreed to keep the Chinese people from Taishan Nuclear Power Plant, Mr. Hua said with relief: "You are a good comrade who understands the big picture!"

...

The next morning, Zhang Heping went out for a run.

After returning, he called his eldest son Zhang Bei and his two daughters Zhang Nan and Zhang Nian, and drove them back to school for classes.

Zhang Nian lay down behind the driver's seat, stretched out her arms to hug her father Zhang Heping's neck, and said unhappily, "Dad, we finally had a day off yesterday, but you stayed in the hospital the whole time. I waited for you for a long time last night but you didn't come back!"

Zhang Heping didn't respond and changed the subject, "I'm going back to Hong Kong Island in two days. If you need anything, I'll arrange for someone to bring it over."

"We'll leave in two days!" Zhang Nian said coquettishly, "But I really don't want to leave Dad!"

"I don't believe it!" Zhang Heping laughed, "You are not monitored at school, and you don't have bodyguards following you. I don't know how happy you are!"

"Hehe!" Zhang Nian laughed, "Before I go to bed at night, I will think about my parents and my stepmother!"

Zhang Heping smiled and glanced at his eldest son in the passenger seat. "Xiaobei, when will your game be available online?"

"I haven't thought about it yet!" Zhang Bei looked ahead in confusion, "Dad, do you have any suggestions?"

Zhang Heping said seriously: "Operating and managing a company is your blind spot. You have to find a way to break out of this simple blind spot."

Zhang Nian came to the middle and asked excitedly: "Brother, I am studying economics, do you want me to help you manage the company?"

Zhang Bei was unmoved. "Forget it. I'll ask the teacher first if I can open an online game company in the capital. If not, I'll ask Brother Lie and Brother Qiang."

"Xiao Nan, what about you?" Zhang Heping glanced at the rearview mirror. "Have you ever thought about opening a trading company? To prepare for your graduation thesis."

Zhang Nan leaned back in the back seat and smiled, "I have contacted someone to register an export trading company in Shenzhen!"

"Oh?" Zhang Heping was a little surprised. The little girl moved quite quickly.

"Sister, is there any position that your company is short of? Consider me!" Zhang Nian hugged her second sister Zhang Nan's left arm and said coquettishly, "Father and son are fighting together, and sisters are in the company. You can lower my monthly salary a little bit!"

Zhang Bei turned around and looked at his second sister. "Xiao Nan, who are you going to find to register the company in Shenzhen? How will you manage the company then?"

"Stupid brother!" Zhang Nian laughed, "You use the computer every day, don't you know that QQ chat software has a voice chat mode? Even if you don't use QQ, you can use the phone to remotely direct the work of managers in various departments."

Zhang Nan looked at her father Zhang Heping and smiled, "I'm looking for Aunt Liu Yuan. She lives in the guesthouse of Tingmei Health Factory and has connections with various departments in Shenzhen."

Zhang Heping didn't respond. Zhang Bei at the side continued to ask: "What about the employees? Did you recruit local people or your classmates?"

"No!" Zhang Nian interrupted, "Sister, you registered a company in Shenzhen, so you have to pay a lot of taxes!"
