Thank you!
if I don't want to be too formal, could I start the email like this: Hello Zhang Bei? or should I use Hello Zhang?

Both Zhang Bei or Zhang will be ok. :)

No, not Zhang, that's his surname. Always error on the more formal and polite option, use either Mr. Zhang or Zhang Bei. His given name is Bei - but to use Bei is informal. That's okay only if he's a friend or acquaintance.
