Break out of the courtyard

"Sister Xuanxuan, why don't you go to the Zhang family's study on the second floor?" A young girl in a red puff-sleeved dress came under the parasol and sat next to President He's granddaughter. She could see the Zhang family villa by turning her head.

"Didn't you not go either?" He Ruxuan responded indifferently.

"I just went there, but it was full of people." The girl in the red dress lazily leaned on the plastic recliner and chuckled, "Those young masters and young ladies who often skip classes are actually reading in the study room on the second floor. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

"I'm sitting under the scorching sun with you, but they think it's ridiculous!" He Ruxuan said, retracting her gaze from the Zhang family villa and looking at the favored seventh daughter of the Guo family. "Why, sister Xiaolan doesn't like the eldest young master of the Zhang family?"

"He is still so dull and boring!" Miss Guo's seventh daughter in a red dress stretched and said with a smile: "I just met Sister Tingting, she seems to be very interested in Zhang Bei. Is your family planning to let Sister Tingting marry into the Zhang family?"

He Ruxuan was not affected by the Seventh Miss of the Guo Family. She still sat upright on the recliner and said calmly, "Whether the marriage can be arranged depends on that Young Master Zhang. A few years ago, Aunt Xinxin said that the marriage of their children should be decided by themselves. I really envy their family..."

"Hey, Sister Nan is out. Should we go over and say hello?" The seventh daughter of the Guo family sat up suddenly, looking towards the Zhang family villa, hesitating whether to go over.

"Forget it!" He Ruxuan looked at the young masters behind Zhang Nan and said calmly, "She is a big boss now, how could she look down on us good-for-nothing ladies."

Miss Guo looked at Zhang Nan, who was leaving quickly, with curiosity. "I heard that Sister Nan's Global Trading Company made a profit of at least 10 billion magnesium yuan last year. Is that true?"

"MP3, MP4 players, and digital cameras are all considered monopoly products. It's not surprising that the annual profit is more than 10 billion magnesium yuan." He Ruxuan followed Zhang Nan into a black car and said with a little doubt:
"I am actually very curious. Her MP3, MP4 players and digital cameras have only been sold for a year, so why did she open up her technology to the outside world?"

After Zhang Nan got rid of the entanglement of those rich young masters, he first went to the Heping Group with his stepmother Chen Shuting to learn about those companies that were split out and listed through shell companies.

As it was getting close to getting off work, Zhang Nancai followed Chen Shuting to the Peace Health Medical Research Institute.

"Didn't you just ask me what to do if the stocks of listed companies such as Peace Pharmaceutical and Peace Healthcare cannot be recovered?" Chen Shuting took Zhang Nan to the curved glass wall in the middle of the exhibition hall on the first floor, looked at the three cloned monkeys inside, and said:
"The answer is in this building!"

"This building?" Zhang Nan looked at the board introducing cloned monkeys hanging on the glass wall and couldn't help but think of the life extension project her father was researching.

If his father could really develop a drug that could prolong life, the profits would be unimaginable.

"Let's go! I'll take you upstairs to have a look. There is a large experimental project here that won the first prize of this year's Peace Prize." Chen Shuting said, and walked towards the wide staircase on the side with her second daughter and bodyguard.

Compared with the spacious exhibition hall on the first floor, most of the space on the second floor and above is reserved for laboratories. The corridors for visitors are much smaller and can only allow five big men to walk side by side at the same time.

The higher you go, the fewer visitors are allowed to go up, but the number of bodyguards does not decrease.

Chen Shuting took Zhang Nan on a brief tour of floors 2 to 5, and then stopped in the corridor on the 6th floor.

"There is only one research project on this floor, mapping the human genome!" Chen Shuting looked at the researchers of different skin colors behind the glass partition and said solemnly:

"This project involves 82 countries, 93 research institutes, and 1298 scientists, and the first phase of investment is as high as 20 billion yuan!"

"Human genome map?" Although Zhang Nan had never studied biochemistry, she had heard of the term human genome. But when the word "map" was added to the end, she became confused.

Chen Shuting explained: "Your father said that the human body has 2.5 genes and 30 billion base pairs. As long as we can decipher these genetic codes, we can develop targeted drugs and treat diseases."

Zhang Nan had never learned about medicine, so he asked in confusion, "How much benefit can this research project bring us if it succeeds?"

Chen Shuting smiled and said: "This project is an open project. In addition to the countries of Mexico, South Korea, Vietnam and India, other countries can apply to participate and get equipment and financial support from us."

"Oh! There's no Magnesium!" Zhang Nan laughed, "I just heard from my stepmother that 82 countries are participating. I thought our family had let down their guard against Magnesium!"

"In addition to the stock market, our Peace Group has been boycotting the Magnesium Lao." Chen Shuting said this with concern in her tone, "The biggest risk of our split business and backdoor listing this time is actually that the Magnesium Lao bought our stocks."

"I'm worried about this, too!" Zhang Nan frowned and said, "The country of magnesium is issuing more and more currency, plus the treasury bonds they issue abroad. Once their magnesium dollar credit collapses, our magnesium dollar savings will become a pile of waste paper."

Chen Shuting nodded slightly, "I also asked your father about this matter!"

Zhang Nan asked anxiously, "What did my dad say?"

Chen Shuting recalled the scene at that time and said in a deep voice: "Your father said at the time that the magnesium dollar is tied to oil. If you want to make the magnesium dollar's credit collapse, you must first solve the dependence of various industries on oil."

"Oil!" Zhang Nan's brows gradually relaxed, and he smiled, "The pure electric Peace Car does not need oil."

Chen Shuting responded casually, then smiled and said, "Go upstairs and ask your dad to come home for dinner."

"Mom, didn't you say my dad comes to this lab every day?" Zhang Nan asked curiously, "What research is he doing?"

Qindao, Beihe Sanatorium.

A big-bellied old man wearing only swimming trunks walked ashore and sat down on the sand next to Mr. Hua. He asked, "Mr. Hua, I have always wondered what Consultant Zhang is researching on the top floor of the Peace Healthcare Institute?"

Mr. Hua, who was also wearing only a pair of boxer briefs, shook his head and replied, "I don't know!"

"Isn't it said that although the security of the Peace Healthcare Institute is strict, it does not restrict the leakage of technical information inside?" The big-bellied old man's doubts increased instead of decreasing. "How come you guys in the geese group didn't even get this little bit of information?"

"I've been to the top floor of Peace Healthcare Institute, which is Consultant Zhang's laboratory." Elder Hua looked at the white clouds above the distant sea, a look of nostalgia on his face, and said:

"The laboratory on the top floor is also separated by glass. Outsiders can clearly see the various objects in the laboratory from the corridor."

“But the problem is that there are no records in his laboratory. There are no marks on the test tubes and medicine bottles, leaving no chance for outsiders to get information!
"I've heard about this, but I can't understand it!" The big-bellied old man frowned and said, "According to what you said, there is no marking in that laboratory. How did Consultant Zhang conduct the experiment?"

Hua responded: "The most likely possibility is that he memorized all the instruments and equipment in the laboratory."

The big-bellied old man nodded and said, "With Consultant Zhang's intelligence, this is indeed possible."

"By the way, the second Peace Prize is about to begin. Aren't you going back to Shencheng?"

Hong Kong Island, Yan Wo Yi Community, The Peak.

As Zhang Heping returned to the study on the second floor, the rich ladies who had been reading quietly here were all relieved and prepared to go back to their homes. "Dad, when are we going to Shenzhen?" Zhang Bei, who had been harassed for various reasons for an entire afternoon, couldn't help but want to escape to Shenzhen.

Zhang Heping turned on his computer and said, "It's only the 2nd today, it's still early!"

Zhang Bei said unwillingly, "There are only five days left until the awards ceremony. Aren't you going to supervise them?"

Zhang Heping casually said: "If I have to do even such a small thing myself, I will consider dismissing the person in charge."

Chen Shuting, who was pouring water at the side, interrupted and said, "Xiaobei, if you want to go to Shenzhen because of those girls, I suggest you change your mindset. For example, find a girlfriend as soon as possible!"

When talking about his girlfriend, Zhang Bei became speechless, which made Zhang Heping shake his head secretly, wondering what his eldest son was thinking.

If it were any other rich second generation, they would have used their money to go out and party every night.

After the computer entered the system desktop, Zhang Heping opened one hacking software after another and began to crawl various information on the Internet.

What Zhang Heping and Zhang Bei did not expect was that most of the rich ladies had left, but Mrs. He and Mrs. Guo were kept by Tang Xin with their three daughters and one son.

Fortunately, during dinner, brothers such as Chang Le, Zhang Yi, and Zhang Long were there, which helped Zhang Bei share some of the pressure so that he didn't have to face the complicated gazes of the three girls alone.

Zhang Nan was quite direct. Facing the aggressive gaze of the young master of the Guo family, he smiled and asked, "What is Guo Zhihao doing now?"

Guo Zhihao's face froze when he was directly named. Zhang Nan's question obviously had a deep meaning.

Guo Zhihao's first reaction was that Zhang Nan's company had a revenue of over 10 billion yuan last year. Was she testing his ability?
Seeing that her grandson was silent, Mrs. Guo quickly spoke up to smooth things over, "Our Zhihao is now doing a rotation internship at our family's real estate company. Once he has more experience, he can join the company's management."

Before Guo Zhihao could figure out how to answer, his fifth aunt interrupted him, making him feel a little embarrassed. However, he couldn't say anything about this aunt in front of outsiders.

According to his idea, he would first introduce himself as having studied abroad in Eagle Country, what achievements he had made, etc., instead of directly stating his current identity as a clerk.

"Guo Zhihao, you have to work harder!" Zhang Nan said with a smile, "You have so many relatives in your family, many of them must want to join the management of the family company, you have a lot of competitors!"

"Sister Nan, I heard that you opened a trading company!" Guo Jinglan, the seventh daughter of the Guo family, looked at Zhang Nan with envy. "I also heard that your company's profit exceeded 10 billion magnesium yuan last year. Is this true?"

"No!" Zhang Nan shook his head. "If the profit was so high, I wouldn't license the technology to others."

Zhang Heping glanced at his second daughter who was lying. The girl's Global Trading Company had a revenue of 13 billion magnesium yuan last year, which was 10 million more than the 3 billion magnesium yuan rumored outside.

Compared to Zhang Nan's cunning, Zhang Bei seems much more boring. He would only reply with a stingy answer when the young ladies from the He and Guo families ask him questions.

Zhang Heping finished his dinner quickly as usual, then said hello to everyone and went upstairs to the study.

During the day, Zhang Heping is busy with laboratory work. After dinner, he also checks the latest developments on the Internet and answers questions in the World Internet Forum and in his email box.

Recently, because of the second Peace Prize, Zhang Heping also had to deal with some letters of complaint questioning the list of winners.

However, Zhang Heping simply treated those reports without substantial evidence as spam and deleted them without any effort to get to the bottom of them. He only considered who posted the paper on the World Internet Forum first.

The next day, on the 3rd, the wealthy wives from the Heping Real Estate wives circle gathered in the Renheyi community again, bringing with them even more children.

Because Zhang Bei, Zhang Yi and others went down the mountain early and ran to the Computer Research Center, they did not see the blind date scene in Renheyi Community.

Even Tang Xin, the instigator, didn't expect that she just asked casually while playing mahjong, "Are there any relatives among you?"

It is because of this sentence that many rich wives have ideas.

Being able to marry into the Zhang family is certainly the best choice, but looking at the expressions of the Zhang family's children, they seem to look down on their children.

So, some people settled for the second best and started looking for marriage partners among the wives' circle.

That morning, the Aso couple met Zhang Heping who was busy with experiments in the laboratory on the top floor of the Peace University of Healthcare and Medical Research Institute.

"Mr. Zhang, would your company consider a secondary listing in Japan?" Mrs. Aso asked in a weak voice.

Unfortunately, she was not very good-looking, and it was difficult for men to feel a desire to protect her, so she did not get a response from Zhang Heping.

The Aso couple had experienced Zhang Heping's silent response to them hundreds of times, so they did not ask any further questions and immediately changed the subject.

"Mr. Zhang, the experimental drugs you gave us have all been used up, and the relevant drug test reports have been sent to your email." Aso Dalang stared at Zhang Heping, who was facing him sideways in the laboratory, and asked solemnly:

"Excuse me, Mr. Zhang, do you still need us to help you continue testing the medicine?"

"Not for now!" Zhang Heping sneered in his heart. It's already great to let you know that there is this experimental drug that can slow down aging. You still want to continue to try the drug for free? You're thinking too much!

Zhang Heping speculated not without malicious intent that after seeing the effectiveness of those experimental drugs, the Aso couple would definitely want to try them on their parents, even if there were unpredictable adverse reactions!
The Aso couple received an answer from Zhang Heping. Although it was a rejection, they felt fortunate. They were afraid that Zhang Heping would ignore them because of his change of mind about going public in Japan.

Aso Dalang was silent for a while, then as if he had made up his mind, he said solemnly: "Zhang Sang, I apologize to you first!"

After he finished speaking, Aso Dalang bowed deeply, with his head almost touching the ground.

Zhang Heping felt it was troublesome, so he distractedly urged: "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't disturb me while I'm doing the experiment."

"Hey! Sorry to bother you, Mr. Zhang!" Aso Taro straightened up and said in a serious tone, "The last time we interrupted the plan to exchange Japanese company stocks for stocks of companies under the Peace Group, it was because the Magnesium people interfered. We were forced to do so!"

Aso Dalang paused for a moment, and seeing that Zhang Heping did not respond at all, he talked about the main purpose of his trip, "Zhang Sang's words woke me up. If I don't pay equal benefits, how can I get Zhang Sang's support?"

"So, I brought my greatest sincerity today..." (End of this chapter)
