Break out of the courtyard

Chapter 758: Qian Lao, the Lobbyist

Mr. Qian followed Zhang Heping through the back door of the hospital and came to the empty playground of Shenzhen Peace College. His two assistants followed behind not far away.

The four of them walked in silence for a while. When they were about to approach the artificial lake, Mr. Qian suddenly asked Zhang Heping, "Why does Consultant Zhang make so much money?"

Zhang Heping continued walking with his hands behind his back and did not answer immediately.

When they saw Villa No. 4 where Mr. Hua lived, Zhang Heping said slowly, "It doesn't matter to me whether I have a lot of money or not. I only care about medical research now."

Zhang Heping did not directly answer Mr. Qian's question, but tactfully stated that no matter what your purpose was in coming here, he did not want to talk about anything other than medical research!

Elder Qian followed Zhang Heping's words and said, "Consultant Zhang's research in biomedicine is so impressive that even a layman like me can't help but think it's amazing."

"I heard that you have cultivated a batch of cloned monkeys in your laboratory in Hong Kong Island. I wonder if the genes of those monkeys are exactly the same?"

"In theory, they are the same!" Zhang Heping said calmly, "However, for the rigor of the experiment, we will conduct genetic identification on the cloned monkeys later."

Elder Qian nodded and said, "Be more rigorous! If the experiment is not rigorous, it will mislead a lot of subsequent work. But those are trivial matters, you can leave it to the researchers below to deal with."

Zhang Heping didn't respond. He felt a bit resistant, as if to say, "Do I need you to teach me?"

In fact, the reason why Zhang Heping didn't say anything was that he doubted the purpose of Qian Lao's coming, maybe to persuade him to continue replying to those technical consultation letters.

Mr. Hua was not at home these days, so Zhang Heping sent Mr. Qian to Villa No. 4, handed him over to Secretary Chen, and then went straight home.

As for Zhang Heping’s previous promise to let Mr. Qian experience qigong, isn’t Mr. Qian still in bed?
Another thing is, it’s so late now, does he have to work the night shift as the richest man Zhang?

I'm not in the mood!
The next morning, when Mr. Qian came out for morning exercise and stretching, Zhang Heping had already finished his morning run and returned home.

However, there are still many early risers exercising around the artificial lake.

Mr. Qian was not in a hurry to find Zhang Heping, just like he was not in a hurry to come to Shenzhen Peace College after arriving in Shenzhen two days ago.

In addition to verifying the authenticity of Zhang Heping's so-called qigong, he also had another purpose in coming here, which was to take a look at the underground base here and see the experts and professors who jumped here for the higher salary.

In addition, Mr. Hua also gave him a task, to persuade Zhang Heping!
After Zhang Heping and Chen Shuting left Shenzhen Peace College by car, Secretary Chen had someone drive over an open jeep and personally took Mr. Qian to the underground base alone, but did not bring Mr. Qian's two so-called assistants.

After entering the tunnel under Nanshan Mountain, the first laboratory that Qian Lao saw was originally a useless laboratory used to confuse external intruders, but now it has become a testing ground for the two brothers Zhang Long and Zhang Hu.

Secretary Chen looked at the two young men fighting dogs in the laboratory through the glass and whispered to Mr. Qian, "These two are Consultant Zhang's twin sons, 18 years old this year."

"The two robot dogs were designed and manufactured by them. Only the program that drives the robot dogs was written by Consultant Zhang."

Old Qian looked at the two robot dogs that had violently collided no less than ten times, frowned and asked, "What are they testing by doing this?"

Secretary Chen looked at the fragments and parts of the two dogs that fell to the ground and shook his head, "I don't know what they are testing. When others asked them, they just said it was for fun."

"Have you ever considered recruiting these two children into the army?" After saying this, Mr. Qian turned around and went back to the back seat of the jeep.

Secretary Chen didn't understand what Mr. Qian meant, so he planned to relay the message to Mr. Hua after he returned.

What he didn't know was that a secret force was cooperating in the research of battlefield applications of drones and robot dogs, including research on the explosive power of dogs.

However, the two robot dogs made by Zhang Long and Zhang Hu for fun were extremely flexible. They could even jump onto the overlapping boxes in the laboratory, and then use their height advantage to dive and crash into another robot dog.

The second laboratory in the tunnel seemed much more lively. Many experts and professors known to Mr. Qian were blocking the glass door of this laboratory, clamoring to make part No. XXX first, otherwise they would not be able to proceed to the next step of research!

Mr. Qian got out of the car, walked behind an old man, patted him on the shoulder, and asked, "Professor Tang! What are you doing?"

"What else can we do! Urge for parts...Mr. Qian?" The old man called Professor Tang didn't care at first, but when he turned around and saw Mr. Qian in person, he couldn't help but exclaimed.

Attracted by the exclamation were several old men nearby, followed by other old men who were blocking the door.

Secretary Chen stood aside with a smile, not disturbing Mr. Qian from chatting with the experts and professors.

It was not until nearly 12 o'clock that Secretary Chen came over to interrupt and said, "Everyone, it's almost lunch time. If you don't eat on time, Lab 2 will block your parts application again!"

An old professor sighed helplessly: "Oh... really! I haven't done anything in the morning and it's already noon!"

"Stop sighing and call your assistants to have lunch, otherwise those brats will report you to Teacher Zhang again." As an old expert spoke, he had already walked to the wall-mounted telephone, picked up the receiver and called his laboratory.

After what he had just learned, Mr. Qian already knew that there were many 2D printers in Laboratory No. 3, which was a supply station for the parts needed by the various laboratories in the underground base.

Laboratories that do not need to research new equipment will not come to this supply station on a regular basis.

Even for those laboratories that are researching new equipment, as long as the people in the laboratory eat and sleep on time, or plan their experimental time reasonably, Laboratory No. 2 will not hinder their parts production.

Only those who do not comply with the laboratory regulations set by Zhang Heping will be criticized and then restricted by logistical laboratories such as Laboratory No. 2.

Mr. Qian found this place interesting, and since he had nothing important to do at the moment, he followed this group of experts, going out early and returning late, and gained an in-depth understanding of every aspect of this underground base.

When Zhang Heping remembered that when Mr. Qian was still in Shenzhen Peace College, Mr. Zhuang had been cured by him and was able to walk again.

However, after Zhang Heping learned that Mr. Qian spent every day in the underground base, he ignored him.

Zhang Heping still remembers the last time when he said he could no longer go to the Sanxingdui underground base, Qian Lao's expression when he changed the subject, which made him feel like an outsider.

On April 4, April Fool's Day, the Peace Group played a joke that was no joke!

First of all, Dior luggage will soon launch luxury bags made of precious silks such as Yunjin, Songjin, Xiangyunsha, Kesi, real silk, and Shujin.

The second is the smartphone, which announced the latest hardware parameters, including 3.1GHZ quad-core processor, 4G memory, and 32G storage capacity.

Finally, in the area of ​​medical research, video images of 117 cloned monkeys and 571 cloned mice, as well as their genetic identification reports, were shown to the public.

The impact of new luxury bags is small. After all, most people can’t afford to buy a bag with an average price of 5 US dollars.

Smartphones are different!
Peace Group has been advertising in this area for the past two years, and has already raised expectations! Now, as soon as the hardware parameters of smartphones are announced, Zhuhai Computer Industrial Park, which is still producing 2.5GHZ dual-core processors and 1G memory, is the first to get nervous, not to mention those foreign companies that are still surviving by producing low-end chips!
The performance increase from 2.5GHZ to 3.1GHZ may not seem like a big improvement, but one is a dual-core processor and the other is a quad-core processor.

Just by listening to the names of the two products, you can tell how big the generation gap is!
Memory is easier to compare. Smartphones use 4G memory, while computers are still using 1G memory. The performance improvement is more than 4 times!
The 32G storage capacity may not seem large, but when it is put into a thin smartphone, it appears to be full of technology.

In addition, the publication of those clones immediately reminded the world of Zhang Heping’s post in which he mentioned life-extending surgeries such as blood, bone marrow, and organ replacements.

On that day, Zhang Heping and his concubine Chen Shuting did not go to Hong Kong Island, nor did they meet those people who came to them for help. All the pressure was put on the management of Heping Group and Tingmei Trading.

The defective rate of Zhuhai Computer Industrial Park remains high and has been listed as an object to be abandoned by Zhang Heping. Once other foundries become available as alternatives, Zhang Heping will probably change factories without hesitation.

The gate of Shenzhen Peace College kept out people from outside, but it couldn't stop Mr. Qian who had arrived half a month earlier.

Mr. Qian heard from Secretary Chen that Zhang Heping had not gone out all morning, so after having lunch in the cafeteria, he went straight to Zhang's house.

As for what Secretary Chen said, please help him persuade Consultant Zhang to meet with the person in charge of Zhuhai Computer Industrial Park.

After Mr. Qian arrived at the Zhang family, he didn't say a word.

"Advisor Zhang, you haven't opened my mind yet. Let me feel the Qigong!" After being led into the living room by the bodyguard, Mr. Qian smiled and talked about the previous agreement.

Zhang Heping was having dinner with his family at the dining table. When he heard what Mr. Qian said, he put down his bowl and chopsticks, got up and went to the living room, and let Mr. Qian lie down on the sofa.

Then, Zhang Heping pointed his finger behind Mr. Qian's right ear, causing him to fall silent instantly.

In Qian Lao's feeling, he only felt an unprecedented swelling feeling, extending from behind his ears to his head...

When Mr. Qian came to his senses, the party at the dining table had already ended and Zhang Heping was sitting at the coffee table reading a newspaper. They were the only two people in the huge living room.

"Is this Qigong?" Mr. Qian said in bewilderment, "Does this world really have Qigong and special abilities?"

Old Qian muttered to himself for a few words, then stared at Zhang Heping with burning eyes, "Advisor Zhang, I would like to invite you to join Bureau 749. We..."

"Not interested!" Zhang Heping looked at the content in the newspaper and said indifferently: "Your 749th Bureau is only suitable for throwing smoke bombs. You don't have the ability and talent to study qigong at all."

"Besides, what makes you think I would be willing to be your guinea pig?"

"Or do you think you are more authoritative than me in biological research?"

"Haha!" Old Qian smiled awkwardly, then he remembered that the mission of their 749th Bureau was just to deal with the psychic troops of the Magnesium Country and the 10003 troops of the Northern Soviet Union.

Zhang Heping still had some things to say, such as the authority over the Sanxingdui underground base.

These words cannot be said out loud, because once they are said, they will reveal his true thoughts.

At the same time, it will also reveal the fundamental reason why he has not responded to those technical consultation letters recently.

Yes, the mainland did not open the access to the Sanxingdui underground base to him and treated him as an outsider. So he treated himself as an outsider for once and saw whether the world would be happier without him.

"That's right!" Mr. Qian thought about the purpose of his visit and said carefully:
"I have been wandering around the laboratories in the academy's underground base these days and found that you are working on a home desktop miniature nuclear reactor and a toroidal magnetic confinement nuclear fusion device. On behalf of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, I would like to communicate with you about joint research and development."

Zhang Heping refused without even thinking about it, "I have complete technical information and don't need outsiders to participate in research and development!"

An "outsider" made Mr. Qian silent for a long time.

Just as Zhang Heping put down the newspaper and picked up the teacup to see him off, Qian Laowei frowned and said, "Advisor Zhang may not know that when I returned from Magnesium with great ambitions, I was once treated as a spy and could not do anything."

"No, I know!" Zhang Heping put down his teacup and said calmly, "You gave up everything and became a proletarian, but the knowledge in your head cannot be ignored by outsiders and is feared by them!"

"Are you trying to say that my current situation is very similar to your previous situation?"

"Or are we actually the same kind of people?"

"No!" Zhang Heping shook his head and said, "I am just restraining myself so that I am a little bit like you in the past."

"Don't forget, I'm a big capitalist now! One of the richest people in the world!"

"As long as I am willing to give up my hostility towards the country of Magnesium and let the Peace Group sacrifice some of its interests, I can enter the capital market of the country of Magnesium and even manipulate the election of the country of Magnesium!"

Old Qian looked at Zhang Heping calmly. After he finished speaking in a seemingly calm manner, he slowly said, "But, as you said, you restrained your desires and sent your children back to China to study."

"As far as I know, in the past three years, the Peace Charity Foundation has donated 3 million yuan to the Hope Project Fund every year."

"If there hadn't been a problem with the Hope Project Fund's accounts, your Peace Charity Foundation would have continued to donate 1980 million US dollars every year since 1 to support the education of poor children in China."

"You weren't as rich as you are now back then!"

"What I actually want to say is that you are better than I was back then. You can see further and do many things that I want to do but cannot do."

"The key is, you are still so young!"

Zhang Heping picked up the teacup and put it to his lips, tactically buying time to rethink the purpose of Mr. Qian's visit.

"There are only two of us here, and I am going to say something against the rules." Elder Qian looked at Zhang Heping and said solemnly in a low voice, "In fact, we value your talent in scientific research and have tried to speak up for you."

"I won't talk about the failed communication process. I just want to ask you one question: Can you still stick to your original intention?"

Zhang Heping frowned and asked, "You came here today just to get a miniature nuclear reactor and a toroidal magnetic confinement nuclear fusion device?"

"It's not about asking, it's about joint research and development!" Old Qian sat closer to Zhang Heping and said softly, "No matter how powerful one person is, he is not as powerful as a team."

"Since your future focus will be on biomedicine, why not take the time to lead some professional teams instead of replying to technical consultation letters from a distance like before."
