Break out of the courtyard

"Mr. Zhang, I heard that Japanese stocks fell sharply today?"

Zhang Heping had just returned from outside when he saw a dozen wealthy ladies from the Heping Real Estate circle sitting in the living room of his home.

In response to a question from one of the rich ladies who was smiling apologetically, Zhang Heping just hummed lightly and went to the study room on the second floor.

The wealthy lady sitting on the armrest of the sofa with a forced smile on her face looked at Tang Xin in confusion, "Mrs. Zhang, is there really no problem with the fund we bought from you?"

Tang Xin looked at the stairs and said impatiently, "Mrs. Hu, I just said that the private equity fund you bought is operating normally. If you don't believe it, you can withdraw according to the terms of the agreement."

"Mrs. Hu, you have to think it over carefully!" Mrs. He, who was sitting next to Tang Xin, frowned slightly and said, "If you withdraw now, after deducting one year's fund management fee, you can only get 1% of the return and the principal."

"Mrs. Hu, don't you know how to use the Internet?" Mrs. Guo, who was sitting on the sofa next to her, said in a rather unfriendly tone, "The official website of Peace Investment Company has the profit data of its 300 funds. Although the fund we bought ranked low, it also had a 53% increase. Do you think Peace Investment Company is sending fake data to deceive you?"

"No! No!" Mrs. Hu, who was a little plump, stood up and explained: "I didn't think that Peace Investment Company would cheat me. It's just that my husband just called and said that he lost money on the Japanese stocks he bought..."

"That's enough!" The slim Mrs. Guo interrupted loudly, frowning and saying, "Just because your husband loses money in stock trading doesn't mean that Peace Investment Company also loses money!"

"Mrs. Hu, you should worry about your husband!" Other rich ladies chimed in:

"Peace Investment Company bought Japanese yen in September last year, and has earned at least 9% from the exchange rate difference alone, not to mention the previous rise in Japanese stocks."

"What I regret most now is why I didn't invest more money last year!"

"Mrs. Hu, if you want to withdraw, you can transfer your share of the fund to me, and I will give you an extra 8%. How about that?"

"That's right! It's written in the terms of the agreement that we can transfer the funds we hold privately!"

“I’ll give you 10%!”

……

Higashima Toudou, Suzuki family.

Miss Suzuki knelt down beside him to add tea and said calmly, "Father, the decline in the stock market was driven by the Ministry of Finance, Mitsubishi and Sumitomo. I would like to ask Mr. Zhang to stabilize the Japanese stock market and prove that those people in the Ministry of Finance are wrong!"

The former mayor Suzuki picked up the small teacup, sniffed it, and asked in a casual tone, "What do you think, Dalang?"

Aso, who had just been promoted from a member of parliament to the vice minister of the Ministry of Education, glanced at his wife before speaking earnestly to his father-in-law, "Mr. Zhang is a successful businessman with a strong sense of self-determination. Even if we ask him to help stabilize the Japanese stock market now, he will not act immediately. Instead, he will wait for an opportunity to act."

"In addition, the Ministry of Education, which I am currently managing, is responsible for education, science and technology, culture, sports and other matters. It needs financial support from the Ministry of Finance, so it is not appropriate to make enemies with them again."

"Also, the stock market decline led by the Ministry of Finance has shown signs of being out of their control. If Peace Investment Company and other foreign investors follow suit and sell stocks, it may cause a stock market crash!"

"By then, if the Ministry of Finance cannot reverse the decline of the stock market, we will ask Mr. Zhang to buy the bottom to stabilize the Japanese stock market..."

The former mayor Suzuki drank a sip of tea with satisfaction. After putting down the teacup, he said to his third daughter, "You and Dalang have been married for many years, and it's time to have some children."

Miss Suzuki was still surprised by what her husband had just said, but after hearing what her father said, she immediately understood what her father meant, which was to ask her to take care of the family.

...

Zhang Heping didn't know about the Aso couple's decision and was worried that they would ask him for money to stabilize Japanese stocks, so he thought about avoiding them.

So, after observing the downward trend of Japanese stocks for another day, Zhang Heping flew back to the capital on the morning of the 5th.

The high-tech seminar was coming to an end. In order to save time, Zhang Heping did not go to the Shenzhen Science Printing Factory to mail the reply, but went to Mr. Hua's office.

During the day, Zhang Heping has to go out, and Zhang Bei, Zhang Nan and others have to go to class.

At night, when Zhang Heping came back in the heavy snow, he saw that his eldest son Zhang Bei's Capital Technology Co., Ltd. was very lively!

These young people attend classes during the day and drive back from the Heping Auto Experience Store in the evening to handle company matters.

Finally, the company employees were made to live in the unused rooms upstairs.

Zhang Heping knew that Zhang Bei and the others were working on a chess and card game, so he only reminded them to add servers as soon as possible and did not give them any other instructions.

As for Zhang Nan's Global Trading Co., Ltd., because this girl signed a batch of small-screen color TV orders at the Canton Fair, and with the help of his concubine Chen Shuting and his elder brother-in-law Tang Ren to contact mainland factories for processing, Zhang Heping pretended not to know about Zhang Nan's business.

By the way, since last year, a type of palm-sized television has become popular in Europe, but it's all due to poverty.

If the economy were a little more relaxed, who would put a palm-sized TV at home?

The impact of the oil crisis is still continuing, but the emergence of Peace electric vehicles has reduced gasoline consumption, making oil exporting countries no longer tough.

In addition, the hydrogen production plant under the Hong Kong Renewable Energy Company has begun to experiment with civilian gas supply, and the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant has successfully completed its trial run, casting a shadow over natural gas exporting countries.

An invisible energy race has quietly spread from Hong Kong Island to the world!

On November 11, the high-tech research and development plan report was formally submitted, and Zhang Heping's review work came to an end.

However, before he could return to Hong Kong Island, there was an important patient at the Harmonious Hospital who needed his consultation.

Although Zhang Heping has developed many new drugs and medical equipment in the past two years, they cannot cure all diseases.

Like those elderly people who are at the end of their lives, the knowledge in Zhang Heping's head seems very powerless, which also makes him more determined to study life sciences.

"Multiple organ failure..." Zhang Heping was speechless as he flipped through the medical records. He didn't know what they were doing before that. They had to wait until the patient was seriously ill before they thought of coming to the Harmonious Hospital.

Due to the patient's identity and the fact that his family was also in the conference room, Zhang Heping did not say much. He slowly looked through the medical records and waited for the opinions of other doctors.

"The patient was previously receiving treatment in Xishu and was transferred here last night. He is currently in the intensive care unit..."

Director Lu of Harmony Hospital was introducing the patient's condition to a group of experts from various major hospitals. Expert doctors from other hospitals were also frowning as they looked through the medical records. The patient's family members were staring at the doctors present like invigilators.

When the medical records were finally read, facing the looks from other doctors from time to time, Zhang Heping was finally called upon by President Lu for questioning.

Zhang Heping shook his head. "The extracorporeal circulation machine, ventilator, and dialysis machine have all been used. I don't have a better solution unless I can replace the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys."

After Zhang Heping finished speaking, everyone was silent for a while. Finally, they discussed the current treatment plan of Harmonious Hospital, and then everyone dispersed.

After dealing with the patient's family, Director Lu quickly went to the ICU ward and waited for Zhang Heping to take the patient's pulse.

After a moment, Zhang Heping turned around and faced Dean Lu's inquiring eyes. Zhang Heping frowned and shook his head.

Due to machine interference, Chinese medicine's pulse diagnosis method is useless.

Zhang Heping followed the expert doctors from other hospitals and reported to the Harmony Hospital for three consecutive days until the patient woke up.

Only after the patient had explained his final wishes were Zhang Heping and his team of doctors from other hospitals relieved of the matter.

It’s not that Zhang Heping can’t leave early, it’s mainly for the convenience of future actions. When it’s time to pretend, you have to pretend!

On November 11, the "Outline of High-tech Research and Development Plan" was officially forwarded to all ministries, units, and factories.

The Continental 863 Plan, which is as famous as the Strategic Defense Plan of Magnesium and the Eureka Plan of Western Europe, has been fully launched. North Soviet Union is caught in a situation of being surrounded on three sides and lacking one, and has to increase investment in scientific and technological research and development.

After the 863 Plan came out, Zhang Heping’s most intuitive feeling was that the number of employees from North Jiangsu in companies under the Heping Group had tripled.

So, after Zhang Heping returned to Hong Kong Island, he heard his concubine Chen Shuting talking about recruitment.

"Honey, there are a lot of foreigners applying for positions in renewable energy companies recently. Even for electrician and maintenance worker positions, there are hundreds of foreigners competing to submit their resumes." After Chen Shuting met Zhang Heping at the airport, she hugged his left arm and was unwilling to let go.

Zhang Heping said casually: "Most of the applicants recently are spies who want to steal the technical information of the Taishan Thorium-based Molten Salt Reactor Nuclear Power Plant."

"Yeah, my employees and I thought so too, so we gave them very difficult interview questions. Those with poor skills were not accepted. Hehe!" Chen Shuting was a little proud.

On the day Zhang Heping provided the information on the thorium-based molten salt reactor, he thought of the current situation, which would definitely attract countries to covet the related technology.

However, if he does not build a nuclear power plant, the hydrogen plant, desalination plant, and seawater refinery will not be able to expand production; and several cloud server centers in the country will not have electricity to start up.

After Zhang Heping got into the Nissan Land Cruiser bulletproof car that he had never replaced, he asked, "Didn't the Aso couple come?"

"No!" Chen Shuting frowned and said, "I heard from Teacher Ou that Congressman Aso went to the Ministry of Education to work on education."

"Ministry of Education..." Zhang Heping pondered for a while and stopped talking about this topic. Instead, he asked about the current situation of Japanese stocks.

Without a smartphone to check stocks, during the time Zhang Heping was in the capital, it was his concubine Chen Shuting who told him about the Japanese stock market situation over the phone.

The Nikkei index rose from 13000 points at the beginning of the year to around 10 points in late October, and then was violently smashed down, falling 18000 points in just two weeks.

After Zhang Heping returned home, he quickly discovered through the backend data of the Heping Financial Software that the accounts of Mitsubishi and Sumitomo had changed from the initial market crashers to the current market supporters, secretly buying up some stocks that had fallen sharply.

The next day, Zhang Heping called together 26 fund managers to form a sniper team, preparing to launch the "helping grandma down the stairs" tactic against Mitsubishi Bank.

If the Mitsubishi Group does not care about the Mitsubishi Bank stock, Zhang Heping does not mind directly buying it at a low price and cutting off the Mitsubishi Group's funds.

Unfortunately, that afternoon, Mitsubishi-related accounts competed with Heping Investment to buy stocks, pushing up Mitsubishi Bank's share price by 12%.

The next day, Zhang Heping asked the sniper team to try again for a day. Seeing that Mitsubishi Bank rose another 8% in the morning, Zhang Heping asked the sniper team to change their target to Sakura Bank of Sumitomo Group.

As a result, after Peace Investment Company sold Mitsubishi Bank's shares at a high price, it started selling Sakura Bank's shares at a high price. In 9 days, it only made a profit of 15% and failed to achieve its goal of acquiring Nippon Island Bank.

However, in addition to money, there are also unexpected gains.

The stocks of Nichia Pharmaceutical that Zhang Heping had been eyeing for a long time were finally dumped out by Mitsubishi and Sumitomo accounts.

In addition to this wave of sharp decline, a sniper team consisting of 26 fund managers from Peace Investment Company successfully broke into three Japanese traditional Chinese medicine companies, all of which were companies that had applied for many patents for traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, with total annual sales of more than 3 billion yuan!

When Japanese stocks plummeted, no one came to see Zhang Heping.

After Stepmother Investment Company issued an acquisition notice to three Japanese traditional Chinese medicine companies, Japanese people successively visited the executives of Stepmother Investment Company and Heping Group.

The Japanese people also went to the Renheyi community, but unfortunately the gate was not even opened to them.

Since the Aso couple didn't come, Zhang Heping didn't care about those Japanese people.

Then, the Japanese launched a counterattack.

First, the three Japanese traditional Chinese medicine companies were suspended from trading, and then a notice of targeted share issuance was issued to the public.

Zhang Heping did not tolerate them. The fund managers under Heping Investment Company dumped the market across the board. In just three days, they attracted other capital to drive the Nikkei index down by 3 points!

You know, on November 11, the Nikkei index only fell by 20 points!

The reason why the stock price was smashed so hard was mainly because some people were unwilling to believe in it and wanted to prop up the stock price, making the various capitals with heavy holdings very happy.

In addition, the stock price has been rising, and it is difficult to attract more people to buy in. There must be a correction to allow outsiders to see the room for growth!

Friday, January 12th.

The Nikkei index fell to 14400 points!

At the same time, there were rumors that Peace Investment Company and Stepmother Investment Company were planning to withdraw their investments from Japan.

That night, the Aso couple arrived in Hong Kong Island on a special plane.

The next day, Saturday, before dawn, the Aso couple was waiting at the gate of Renheyi Community and met Zhang Heping who was out for a morning run.

"Mr. Zhang!" When the Aso couple saw Zhang Heping coming out alone, their backs immediately bent 80 degrees.

"You go sit in the yard for a while, and we'll talk after I come back from running." While Zhang Heping was speaking, he had already walked around the two people who were bowing and quickly ran towards another hill.

It was obvious that Zhang Heping wanted to leave the Aso couple out in the cold, but the two of them had no choice as the Japanese stock market was closed on the weekend.

The key point is that the Aso couple were allowed to enter the Renheyi community, which is countless times better than other Japanese people who came to visit.

Zhang Heping came back after running a long circle. It was already dawn and a red sun was just jumping over the top of the mountain in the east.

"Mr. Zhang!" The Aso couple stood up from the plastic chairs and were about to bow again.

However, Zhang Heping waved his hand at them and said, "Come and sit in the living room!"

After saying this, Zhang Heping went home to take a shower and change clothes.

The Aso couple, who were invited into the house by Zhang Heping, did not feel ignored. Instead, they felt very happy. They felt that their relationship with Zhang Heping had become closer and that things would definitely go smoothly during the talks.

Zhang Heping changed his clothes and came down. After asking the Aso couple if they had any food taboos, he went into the kitchen and started making breakfast.

Zhang Heping sensed that the Aso couple had come to the kitchen door, and without turning his head, he smiled and said, "Have something for breakfast. If you don't leave at noon, I'll treat you to lunch at the Peace Hotel."

"Thank you Mr. Zhang for your hospitality!" The Aso couple bowed again with more smiles on their faces.

"I know why you're here!" Zhang Heping said as he fried eggs, "What did the three Chinese medicine companies say?"

Miss Suzuki III continued, "Mr. Zhang, excuse me for buying those three Chinese medicine companies?"

"What else can we do?" Zhang Heping snorted coldly, "I've said before that we should make them give up the patent for the Chinese medicine formula!"

"I tell you, patents only limit human innovation!"

"Also, if their patents on traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions are cancelled, you can send medical staff to Heping Hospital for exchanges and learning. What do you think?"
