Chapter 684 Attacked

"Advisor Zhang, can you invest in the construction of our power grid, Internet, and communication network in Guangdong Province?"

As soon as the Guangdong Province investment promotion team leader said this, the whole audience fell silent, and everyone looked at Zhang Heping on the podium.

"The power grid is different from the power station. The power grid is related to the lifeline of the national economy and the national energy security. I do not recommend external capital to invest in the power grid." Zhang Heping took a few steps on the stage with the microphone, ignoring the disappointed expressions of the Guangdong Province investment representatives, and continued:

"However, the construction of the domestic power grid urgently needs a large amount of capital investment to support economic development. This is an urgent problem to be solved. For this reason, I have also included the domestic power grid in the investment scope of the Peace Prize Trust Fund."

Following Zhang Heping's turning point, everyone in the conference hall became excited again, and they all remembered the investment directions that Zhang Heping mentioned when he introduced the Shenzhen Branch of Heping Investment.

"I would not suggest buying shares in the State Grid Corporation of China. But the power grid companies in Guangdong Province are different. You are the pacesetters at the forefront of economic reform and opening up. You are responsible for pilot projects and you must be brave enough to try."

"Therefore, Heping Investment Shenzhen Branch can invest in Guangdong Power Grid Company, holding no more than 49% of the shares and not participate in management; it can also lend money to Guangdong Power Grid Company at an annual interest rate of 3% to support the construction of Guangdong Power Grid."

"As for the Internet and communication networks, Peace Investment Shenzhen Branch can invest in the construction of civilian networks."

Having said that, Zhang Heping turned to look at Huang Wenli, "So, I authorize Manager Huang to invest 100 billion magnesium yuan in Guangdong Province to build 10 nuclear power plants, as well as power grids, the Internet, and communications."

"In addition, I estimate the cost of a thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plant to be 5 million magnesium yuan per plant. I would like to ask Manager Huang and the leaders of Guangdong Province to find the engineers of the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant and negotiate the price with the domestic equipment supplier. If they do not agree, we will switch to other manufacturers."

After he finished speaking, the participants on the stairs began to whisper to each other, and had many opinions on the allocation of the 100 billion magnesium yuan of funds that Zhang Heping had just mentioned.

Zhang Heping took the teacup handed to him by a young employee of Heping Investment Shenzhen Branch, took a sip of the tea, and then handed it back to him to take away.

The investment cooperation negotiation representatives from Beihu Province and Shenzhen City were also very excited. As the Guangdong representatives successfully attracted investment, their success rate in attracting investment also increased.

The Guangdong Province investment promotion team leader suppressed his excitement and asked again: "Advisor Zhang, I would like to ask shamelessly, can you invest in more roads in Guangdong Province?"

"I'm sorry, today we are talking about the Peace Prize Trust Fund investment, not investing in public projects that have no returns." Zhang Heping smiled and said, "If it is a profitable highway project, you can send someone to continue to look for cooperation with the Land, Sea and Air Company."

Although the Guangdong Province investment promotion team was rejected, Zhang Heping did not say absolutely. In addition, Hailukong Company had invested in airport and highway projects in the mainland, so the Guangdong Province investment promotion representatives immediately had a new idea and prepared to go to Hong Kong Island to attract more investment.

After whispering with the Guangdong investment promotion team leader for a while, the Shenzhen investment promotion team continued to remain silent.

They planned to discuss it behind closed doors after the meeting.

Anyway, Shenzhen is close to the water and has the upper hand, so we can contact Heping Investment Shenzhen Branch at any time to finalize the 100 billion magnesium yuan investment from Guangdong Province first!

The representatives from Guangdong Province and Shenzhen City gradually quieted down, and then looked at the investment promotion representatives from Beihu Province who came from afar with a smile.

The eight-member team brought by Huang Xuemin was indeed too small in number compared to the local tyrants in Guangdong Province and Shenzhen City.

Huang Xuemin brought the team here this time just to sign investment contracts for an artificial diamond synthesis plant and a solid-state battery production plant, but after seeing that Guangdong Province received an investment of 100 billion magnesium yuan, his pounding heart couldn't slow down!

Zhang Heping looked at Huang Xuemin, who was hesitant to speak, and guessed that he also wanted investment in nuclear power plants and power grids, so he said, "Let's talk about this first in the morning. Let's go to the cafeteria of Shenzhen Heping Vocational Training College to try the food. After lunch, take a break for an hour, and then come back here to continue discussing cooperation."

As soon as the discussion ended, the leader of Guangdong Province's investment promotion team hurriedly stood up, walked up to Zhang Heping, shook his hand warmly, and said some polite words such as thanks.

Huang Wenli was also surrounded by representatives from Guangdong Province. After a long time, she was able to talk to her father Huang Xuemin who was waiting on the side, and then lent her mobile phone to her father.

After Huang Xuemin received the conference call, he called Beihu back to discuss investments in nuclear power plants and power grids.

After Beihu Province learned that the Heping Group was going to invest in an artificial diamond synthesis plant and a solid-state battery production plant in Wucheng, the issue that was discussed the most was actually the power supply problem.

At that time, the Three Gorges Dam had not yet been built and the power supply in the western part of the country was still relatively tight, not to mention the west-to-east power transmission.

After Zhang Heping dealt with the investment promotion representatives from Guangdong Province, he contacted Huang Wenli and communicated with her about the progress of the cooperation negotiations in Wucheng.

When the investment promotion teams from Guangdong Province and Shenzhen got together, they also discussed the problem of electricity supply in Shenzhen.

In fact, as a special economic zone, Guangdong Province has given priority to providing electricity to Shenzhen in recent years.

A few years ago, factories in Shenzhen and Shekou would occasionally experience power outages. Later, after a number of oscillating water column pneumatic wave energy power stations were built along the coast, power outages became rare.

In addition, the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant in the west is officially in operation, the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant in the east is waiting to start construction, and there are 10 nuclear power plants to be built in Guangdong Province in the future. The Guangdong Province investment promotion team finally persuaded the Shenzhen City investment promotion team to temporarily give up the investment and wait for Guangdong Province to sign the 100 billion magnesium yuan investment.

...

Hong Kong Island, Governor's House.

The small head of the Special Intelligence Bureau who was hiding in the neighboring Magnesium Embassy was now sitting in front of the Governor of Hong Kong, trying to persuade him to take down Zhang Heping and even launch an investigation into the Heping Group!

Unfortunately, what this guy doesn’t know is that the Hong Kong Independent Commission Against Corruption has long been investigating the tax issues of the Peace Group, but has yet to find any results.

The Eagles investigated the taxation of the Peace Group not for the purpose of collecting the taxes, but just to find something to hold against them so that they can use it to start some cooperation with the Peace Group.

After all, the taxes collected in Hong Kong can only be used for the people's livelihood in Hong Kong. They have little to do with these Eagle Country guys, and there is not much money to be embezzled.

The Magnesian guy tried his best to talk, but in the end he got nothing. He walked out of the door in embarrassment and returned to the Magnesian Embassy on the left.

"How dare Mr. Zhang ride a motorcycle to Shenzhen alone without any support? How dare he do it without a bodyguard?" Shen Bi, who had been hiding in the next room and eavesdropping, walked out with disdain on his face.

"How could the Magnesian people not know this!" The Governor said with a smile while stirring his coffee, "But the Magnesian people recently confirmed a piece of information that the technology for the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant was all provided by Mr. Zhang!"

Shen Bi, chairman of Huifeng Bank, frowned and asked, "Hasn't the Magnesium man guessed this a long time ago? Why did he propose to kidnap Mr. Zhang today?"

The Governor of Hong Kong laughed and said, “Last night, an unknown person fired a grenade at the Renheyi Community with a bazooka, but it was intercepted by an unknown method!”

"Bazooka?" Shen Bi was startled and asked in surprise, "Could it be that the Magnesium guy is testing the air defense system of Renheyi Community?"

The Governor of Hong Kong took a sip of coffee slowly and smiled, "Mr. Zhang made such a big fuss about the Peace Prize this morning, but he went to Shenzhen alone. Do you think there will be any deaths in accidents recently?"

...

Not long after the afternoon's investment promotion discussion started, the investment in Beihu Province was finalized.

The 10 billion magnesium investment in the artificial diamond synthesis plant and the solid-state battery production plant remains unchanged, and an additional 20 billion magnesium investment will be made to build two nuclear power plants in Beihu Province, as well as power grids, the Internet, and communications.

The Beihu Province investment promotion representative originally wanted five nuclear power plants, but Zhang Heping disagreed, saying bluntly that Beihu Province might not even be able to apply for one nuclear power plant, and that there were not enough technical personnel to support the nuclear power plants.

Finally, it was decided that Beihu Province would first try to apply for two nuclear power plants and send personnel to the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant to learn. After the first two nuclear power plants were built, three nuclear power plants would be built together.

After the discussion, Heping Investment Shenzhen Branch signed a letter of intent with investment representatives from Guangdong Province and Beihu Province. Then the two provinces would set up relevant joint venture companies and apply for relevant project procedures.

If the higher authorities do not approve, or approve less, the letter of intent to invest signed today will be invalidated, and the cooperation will have to be discussed again.

After the meeting, the Shenzhen government hosted the investment representatives from Guangdong Province and Beihu Province, as well as Zhang Heping and employees of the Shenzhen branch of Heping Investment at the hotel.

...

Hong Kong Island, Victoria Peak, Zhang family.

Chen Shuting walked out of the study and came to the door of the musical instrument room next door. She said, "Sister Xin, my husband just called and said he won't be back tonight."

Tang Xin put down the violin and asked, "Did he say when he would be back?"

Chen Shuting shook her head, looking a little worried. "I can't be sure yet. He asked us not to go out in the next few days."

"Huh?" Tang Xin was stunned for a moment, feeling that something was wrong with this statement.

Chen Shuting did not tell her guess. While the first wife was distracted, she turned around and went back to the study.

When Zhang Heping went out in the morning, he told Chen Shuting to work from home today and not to go out.

Chen Shuting initially thought it was because of the Peace Prize, but when she learned from her nanny that people in Renheyi Community and Umbrella Phase 1 and Phase 2 communities had received notices and had recently reduced the number of times they went out, she felt something was wrong.

However, no matter how she speculated, she could not associate it with the not-so-loud explosion last night.

Because the Umbrella Corporation's weapons training range is just behind another hill, there are occasional crackling and banging noises coming from there.

...

It usually takes half an hour to walk from Shenzhen City through Luohu Port and then to Luohu Station.

On the 7th, a guy from Magnesium hired six yellow-haired guys to wait on the roadside between Luohu Port and Luohu Station. He also gave each of the yellow-haired guys a pistol and asked them to kidnap a man riding a black motorcycle.

It is said that each person will be given 100 million magnesium yuan after the matter is completed!

"We have been squatting on the roadside for a whole day, and we haven't seen a single person on a motorcycle. Could that foreigner be trying to trick us?"

"Ye Ji, give that foreigner a call! I feel like something is wrong, as if I missed something!"

"Brother Lei, I heard that when Brother Long helps others with something, he will first collect a deposit and then the balance after the job is done. Did the foreign devil give you the deposit?"

"Shit! What did I miss? It turns out I forgot to collect the money from the foreigner! Pheasant, call the foreigner right away! Damn! It's already dark, and we haven't seen him yet. It's not our fault. His information was wrong!"

"Brother Lei, the call is connected, but they are speaking foreign language, I can't understand it!"

The man from Magnesium, who was waiting for news of the kidnapping at Luohu Station, was delighted at first when he received the call.

After hearing that the yellow-haired kid didn't kidnap anyone and wanted to ask him for money, the magnesium guy realized that it was getting dark and Zhang Heping might not return to Hong Kong Island today.

In desperation, the guy took out 600 magnesium yuan, sent the six little yellow-haired kids back, and asked them to come back tomorrow.

As soon as Little Yellow Hair left, the five magnesium agents hiding around Luohu Station retreated to a silver-white van. After the magnesium agent who hired Little Yellow Hair got on the van, the van drove towards the urban area of ​​Hong Kong Island.

When Zhang Heping went to Shenzhen, the time was usually very random and there was no regularity at all; when outsiders noticed that he went to Shenzhen, he basically went home or was still wandering around the mainland with no intention of returning.

Therefore, even if the magnesium guys wanted to kidnap Zhang Heping, it would not be so easy to find Zhang Heping alone.

But today is different. As soon as the news of the Peace Prize came out, the security guards at the Peace Vocational Training College and the entrance of Renheyi Community told visiting reporters that Zhang Heping was not at home. When asked again, they said he had gone to Shenzhen!

As soon as the six yellow-haired guys and the six magnesium-skinned guys left, a man came out of the guard room at Luohu Station, took out his cell phone and made a call.

"Boss Wei, six gangsters and six foreigners just returned to the city!"

...

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, electricity, gas and tap water in the Governor's House and the Magnesium Embassy were all cut off.

I called to inquire, but only got a notice that it was under emergency repair and was expected to be completed before 11pm.

Because both the Governor's House and the Magnesium Embassy had backup generators, and they were expected to be repaired before 11 o'clock, no one from either side went out.

The key point is that they did not go out to eat, nor did they ask the restaurant to deliver food or water.

It was 8 o'clock in the evening and it was just getting dark.

Two teams of maintenance workers from a renewable energy company arrived at the Governor's House and the Magnesium Embassy respectively, wanting to go in to troubleshoot the problem.

The team of maintenance workers going to the Governor's House had a smooth entry. After the guard at the door reported it, they were allowed in.

However, each of the three maintenance workers in this team was guarded by a guard.

The maintenance workers from the Magnesium Embassy were searched three times inside and out. Even their maintenance tools were dumped on the ground, and they were not helped to put them into their bags.

As a result, the team of five maintenance workers quit their job, packed up their tools and left.

The embassy official who directed 10 Chinese to search for the maintenance worker frowned at the maintenance worker as he left. "Stop! If you don't restore our electricity and gas, I will call your company and file a complaint against you!"

The maintenance team leader raised his right hand, raised his middle finger to the sky, and said without turning his head: "Our company does not accept complaints from the Chinese people, you can just call the complaint hotline!"

"What a bunch of idiots! How dare you search us? Wait till your phone and internet lines are disconnected!"

As the team of five maintenance workers left, the Governor of Hong Kong immediately received a report on the matter from the guard at the gate.

"No way!" The Governor was a little incredulous. "Did Mr. Zhang only cut off the electricity and gas for the people of Magnesium?"

Just as the Eagle countrymen were speculating wildly about Zhang Heping's means of revenge and the Magnesium countrymen were feeling guilty and suspicious, a black shadow climbed over the back wall of the Magnesium Embassy...

This is from yesterday, I’ll make up for it first…
