Break out of the courtyard

"Teacher Zhang, I don't agree with the human experiment of Shouyuan 100 experimental drug because this drug will mutate human genes and may cause many unpredictable harms."

"Have you read the instructions for Life 100? It clearly states what you mean by unpredictable. Also, have you asked those elderly people with age spots all over their bodies and all their teeth missing? Did they volunteer to try the drug, or were they forced to come here by someone?"

When Mr. Hua and Director Wang arrived at the top-floor laboratory where Zhang Heping was, they happened to overhear a conversation between Zhang Heping and a young man in a white coat.

"I allow you to have different opinions and have set up a feedback channel because everyone's perceptions are different." Zhang Heping stared at a monitor in the laboratory and said distractedly:
"But I don't agree with your direct obstruction of drug testing. According to hospital regulations, your behavior is considered a serious disruption of work and you can be fired directly."

"However, your Dean Wang has come forward to plead for you to be transferred to the Cosmetology Department of Shenzhen Peace Hospital, and at the same time reduce your salary by three levels. Do you have any objection to this?"

When Dr. Hua and Director Wang heard this, they stood silently by and looked at the young doctor curiously, wondering what was so special about this young man that he let Zhang Heping personally explain the punishment decision to him.

"I..." The young male doctor hesitated for a moment, turned around and saw Mr. Hua waiting in the corridor. He seemed to have made a decision in his heart and spoke again:
"Teacher Zhang, my last question is, how did you figure out the side effects of the Lifespan 100 experimental drug?"

From the tone of his words, it seemed as if this guy was going to do something if Zhang Heping didn't give a good answer.

"I gave the experimental drug to two Japanese people before. They tested it on old prisoners in the Japanese prison and found these side effects." Zhang Heping explained nonchalantly, and then asked, "Why? You want to stand up for the Japanese people!"

"No!" The young male doctor seemed to approve of testing drugs on Japanese people. He lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Teacher Zhang and Dean Wang, for giving me the opportunity to correct my mistakes. I am willing to work at Shenzhen Peace Hospital."

"Well, go ahead!" Zhang Heping said without turning his head, "Think more and ask more questions in the future. Our hospital doesn't have a one-man show. There is an email address for feedback in the regulations column."

"Thank you for your teachings, Teacher Zhang. You go on with your work!" The young male doctor bowed slightly to Zhang Heping. When he turned to leave, he bowed slightly to Mr. Hua and Director Wang before walking to the stairs.

Mr. Hua walked to the glass partition where the young male doctor had just stood, and asked with a smile: "The young doctor just made a mistake, why did he need you to personally comfort him?"

"Lv Chen is a young man with good learning ability. He has published 5 medical papers on the World Internet Forum and uploaded 3 teaching videos on skin disease treatment." Zhang Heping explained casually:
"What's more, his intention to prevent genetic drugs from being used in human experiments was correct, but his method of blocking them was wrong."

Mr. Hua nodded, then silently looked around the laboratory, trying to compare it with what he saw last time to see if there were any changes.

Unfortunately, he was not someone with an exceptional memory, and was unable to notice many changes. He just felt that there were a few more small devices.

In addition, Zhang Heping just said that the first batch of human trials of the "Shouyuan 100" experimental drug was conducted on the island of Japan, which made Mr. Hua think for a while and consider how to carry out this mission.

Director Wang had been feeling aggrieved for ten days because of what he had said about Zhang Heping being a troublemaker. He felt that he should not have used such a blunt and derogatory word.

Even though Zhang Heping took the initiative to greet her last night, she was still struggling over whether or not to apologize to Zhang Heping.

Before Director Wang could finish his thoughts, Elder Hua spoke up, "Heping, the higher-ups want to transfer the launch missions of the Heping Aerospace Company to the Xicheng Launch Center. The area there is vast and sparsely populated, which can effectively improve the safety of the rocket debris falling. What do you think?"

"Do they think that my money came from the wind?" Zhang Heping replied indifferently, and there was no further comment.

This sentence is also easy to understand. Zhang Heping had previously proposed to cooperate with the Aerospace Group, but they could not reach an agreement on the details of the cooperation. That's why Zhang Heping asked Tingmei Trading to invest in and set up a Heping Aerospace Company in Dapeng Peninsula in Shenzhen.

After two years of development, not to mention how many factories and dormitories have been built on the Dapeng Peninsula, the ring road from Shekou Port to Nanshan and then to the Dapeng Peninsula alone cost Tingmei Trading nearly 1 million magnesium yuan!
When Mr. Hua asked this, he was actually pointing out to Zhang Heping that since you have invested so much money in Dapeng Peninsula, why move to Hong Kong Island?

The matter of moving the rocket launch base to Hong Kong Island was raised by Zhang Heping last time with Lu Zhongsheng, the head of Heping Aerospace Company, and Lu Zhongsheng talked about it with Director Wang.

It was precisely because he realized the subtext of Mr. Hua's words that Zhang Heping stopped talking after he finished speaking.

"It's fine if we don't move it to the Xicheng Launch Center!" Mr. Hua continued, "I heard from the engineers at Peace Aerospace that they want to move the rocket to the South China Sea for launch."

"They say that near the equator they can use linear velocity and centrifugal force to reduce rocket fuel consumption."

Zhang Heping hummed without commenting and continued to work on his cell experiment.

Seeing Zhang Heping's calm expression, Mr. Hua paused for a moment and then started talking about topics related to this mission. "The application you submitted last time to join the D has been approved. You are now an activist. Director Wang and I will serve as your training contacts."

After hearing this, Zhang Heping turned his head to Mr. Hua for the first time.

He just calmed himself down, put down the experiment in his hands, went to the locker room next door, took off his goggles, gloves and other items, then went to the disinfection room to clean up before leaving the laboratory.

"Next, should I submit my thoughts to the two guides?"

Seeing Zhang Heping walking out with a smile, Mr. Hua and Director Wang were unable to react for a moment. They did not expect that Zhang Heping would take this matter so seriously.

"How about we go find a place outside to sit and talk?" Zhang Heping said, extending his left hand and pointing towards the stairs.

Mr. Hua and Director Wang looked at each other and suppressed the joy in their eyes.

"You can talk about it in your laboratory!" Mr. Hua pointed to the laboratory behind the glass partition.

Zhang Heping smiled and said, "There are many virus samples inside, so it's not convenient to invite you in."

Because the mainland inspection team moved into the Peace Group, the Japanese became anxious, fearing that the Peace Group would be influenced by the mainlanders and abandon its plan to exchange shares for listing.

In addition, Chen Shuting has not responded to the stock swap recently, which has caused the Japanese people to hold more than ten remote telephone conferences in a row in an attempt to break the current stalemate.

Little did people know that Chen Shuting was just waiting for her subordinates to investigate the Japanese companies that planned to exchange shares.

As of now, all the Japanese companies on the list provided by the Aso couple have loans, it’s just a matter of how much.

Those with large loans will have to repay a large sum of money after the Peace Group takes control of them. Chen Shuting doesn't want to be that kind of sucker.

At that time, instead of acquiring them at a low price, it would be better to find a way to bankrupt them and then buy their fixed assets at a low price.

Therefore, Chen Shuting needs to find out the specific loan amounts of those Japanese companies to facilitate subsequent share swap negotiations.

You should know that the companies under the Peace Group are all high-quality assets. Not only do they have no debt, but their profitability is also outstanding.

Without particularly large expected returns, Chen Shuting would not exchange her own company's shares for junk stocks.

Just look at this: when Chen Shuting led a study tour group from the mainland to visit companies under the Peace Group, the Aso couple came over again and asked which Japanese companies the Peace Group planned to choose for share exchange.

"Vice Minister Aso, you should be transferred to the Ministry of Finance. The Ministry of Education has restricted your performance!" Chen Shuting looked at the two short Japanese people in front of her and said indifferently:
"Go back and wait for my call. I still need to do some investigation and evaluation on your newly added list of Japanese companies."

Vice Minister Aso glanced at the mainlander next to him, then bowed and said, "Hey! We are waiting for good news from Mr. Chen!" After the two Japanese people left, the acting professor of Metropolitan University asked, "Mr. Chen, I heard that your company is operating normally and its subsidiaries are very profitable. I wonder why you want to exchange shares with Japanese companies?"

"Capital seeks profit!" Chen Shuting continued to move forward and said to the people following behind her, "Our group exchanged shares with Japanese companies because we saw benefits that outsiders could not see, which led to this business behavior."

"But this matter is a commercial secret, so I cannot tell you directly."

"Mr. Chen!" Professor Lin, Chang Wen's graduate supervisor, interrupted, "Have you ever considered exchanging shares with related domestic factories?"

"Is this a stock exchange issue?" Chen Shuting asked back, and the people behind her were unable to respond.

Because profitable factories in the country will not consider getting involved with foreign capital now. They must maintain their own purity in order to have promotion achievements and pass relevant audits.

For those loss-making factories, it would be good enough to receive financial investment from the Peace Group. There would be no such unrealistic idea of ​​exchanging shares with companies under the Peace Group.

Only these old scholars who study theories all day long without considering practical interests would ask such naive questions.

This is also the reason why people who engage in economic theory cannot become wealthy businessmen, and wealthy businessmen cannot become economics experts.

Because the two look at things from different perspectives. One focuses on the logic of economic operation and is good at summarizing business cases after the fact; the other follows the principle of profit first and likes to break the rules to seek high returns.

At dinner time, Zhang Heping talked about his experience of becoming an active member of the Communist Party at the dinner table at home.

When these words were spoken, the person who reacted the most was Zhang Heping's father, Lao Zhang.

Although Zhang Bing had been to the battlefield and lost his right leg, he had never been able to join D, which was a regret in his heart.

The second is his father-in-law Tang Ming. He doesn’t understand why Zhang Heping wants to join the D openly. The key is Zhang Heping’s current identity. Will it work?

"In addition, an organization D will be established within the Heping Group. It will be a spontaneous organization of employees, similar to trade unions abroad, and will not interfere in the daily management of the company." Zhang Heping added casually.

The content of these two pieces of news is quite rich, but to Tang Xin, Zhang Feng, Zhang Long and others, it is a common thing.

"Dad, does this mean that the mainland's policies have been relaxed again?" The third daughter Zhang Nian had this question based on the fact that her father Zhang Heping, a capitalist, could become an activist.

There are many issues involved behind this matter, the most typical of which is the question of capitalism or socialism!
Zhang Heping nodded and started eating.

Chen Shuting heard Zhang Heping talk about this on the way back in the car and asked about the reason, so she didn't react much at this time.

Ma Xiuzhen was a little slow to react, remembering when she was working at the subdistrict office, those active and advanced street elements had all submitted applications to join the D.

Niece Zhang Ting laughed and said, "On the day my mother entered D, she told grandpa that my third uncle would also join D, but grandpa didn't believe it at the time."

"Don't talk nonsense, girl!" Zhang Bing retorted, "I didn't say I didn't believe it!"

The eldest son Zhang Bei frowned and said, "Dad, can this really be accomplished?"

"It doesn't matter whether this thing will succeed in the end!" Zhang Heping swallowed a mouthful of food and explained to his family who were looking at him:
"What's important is that my title as an activist represents the extent to which the mainland has opened up to the outside world."

The second daughter, Zhang Nan, frowned and said, "If those foreigners know about this, it will probably affect our business!"

"Does our family still need that little money?" Zhang Heping asked back, and then said earnestly: "When money reaches a certain level, it is just a string of digital symbols."

"You should think about your respective life pursuits and do something more meaningful."

~
No one has publicized the fact that Zhang Heping has become an activist, and very few people know about it.

However, some employees within the Peace Group spontaneously and quickly established D organizations. Although they did not publicize them to the outside world, they were discovered by various forces at the same speed.

Although many organizations speculated in advance that the Peace Group had a red background, those were unconfirmed speculations.

Now that there is the D organization within the Peace Group, it is as if it has been branded with a red mark. There is no need to guess!

After the Japanese learned about this, they asked the Aso couple to find Chen Shuting and ask whether the cooperation could continue.

Chen Shuting’s response remained the same, and she needed to conduct in-depth investigations into those Japanese companies.

After the people of Magnesium learned about this, they turned to the capital to put pressure on them, strongly demanding that the Peace Group give up its boycott of them.

Unfortunately, the Peace Group still ignored the demands of the country conveyed by CITIC and China Resources!
In terms of business, no impact was found on the Heping Group in the short term. Instead, it accelerated the amount of investment of the Heping Group in various provinces in the mainland.

Zhang Heping still didn't care about the company's affairs. If Chairman He hadn't brought the eldest son of the Guo family to invite him, Zhang Heping would still be busy in the laboratory with those microscopic experiments that were too invisible to the naked eye.

Shenzhen Hospital, Proton and Heavy Ion Therapy Center behind the Cancer Treatment Institute and the Neurosurgery Institute.

Zhang Heping came over in the morning and greeted Chairman Guo, who was diagnosed with rectal cancer. After taking a look at his medical records, he arranged for him to undergo a proton knife surgery, which took less than 10 minutes.

"How is it?" Zhang Heping, wearing a white coat and a white mask, smiled at the worried Chairman Guo and said, "You are just scaring yourself. I told you it's not a big deal."

The eldest son of the Guo family hurried over to push his father's wheelchair, and then respectfully asked Zhang Heping: "Uncle Zhang, is my father's surgery done now?"

Facing this younger generation who was more than ten years older than Zhang Heping, Zhang Heping smiled and explained the principles of proton therapy.

The eldest son of the Guo family asked in disbelief, "Uncle Zhang, do you mean that my dad's illness can be cured with 15 more proton therapies?"

"The specific number of treatments depends on the actual situation determined by your father's attending physician, Director Liu." Zhang Heping reached out and pulled Director Liu, who was standing behind him, over and said, "You have to trust Director Liu's skills!"

"It can be said that there is no one in the world who can surpass him in proton therapy except me."

The eldest son of the Guo family glanced at his father, then looked at Zhang Heping for help, "Uncle Zhang, can you spare some time to come over when my dad is having proton therapy tomorrow?"

Zhang Heping looked at Lao Guo's fearful look and smiled helplessly, "Okay! Come back tomorrow morning, in case someone doesn't believe me."

Chairman Guo opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the concubines next to him beat him to it and chattered a lot of words of thanks to Zhang Heping... (End of this chapter)
