"Mr. Tang is getting younger and younger. Did he take the 100-year-old life-extending potion in advance?"

"Mr. Tang, I heard that your eldest son is trading Japanese stocks in Magnesium Country, and his scale is not smaller than that of Mr. Qiang, the third son. I wonder if there are any Japanese stocks that you would recommend recently?"

"Has Mr. Tang met Mr. Zhang? Did he talk about the production and sales of smartphones? Is it still distributed as before?"

As soon as Tang Ren arrived at the Peace Hotel in Shenzhen, he was surrounded by several Hong Kong businessmen in the lobby, and then more Hong Kong businessmen followed Tang Ren upstairs.

Compared with the business interactions at the hotel, Zhang Heping seemed more pragmatic at Shenzhen Peace College.

Regarding the opening ceremony, Zhang Heping only learned about the time and duration of his speech, and left other matters to the vice-president, the dean of studies and others.

The rest of the time, Zhang Heping inspected the laboratories and research projects in the underground base.

Previously, Mr. Qian was just watching from the sidelines at Shenzhen Peace College. Because Zhang Heping became an activist and the Peace Group increased its investment in inland provinces, Mr. Qian took the opportunity to propose a desert control project.

Therefore, under the promotion of Mr. Qian, Zhang Heping asked the Peace Charity Foundation to donate 1 million yuan to the newly established Sand Industry Development Fund Preparatory Group.

Therefore, Qian was never present when Zhang Heping inspected the underground base.

It was not until Zhang Heping proposed the controlled nuclear fusion project to a group of experts and professors in the Peace College, and the site selection for the project was expected to be completed in one month, that Qian Lao, who was playing with sand in the northwest, received an urgent recall telegram.

At the same time, the Southern Power Grid Company, which was registered in Shenzhen, received an order to urgently recall more than half of its nuclear power experts to the Shenzhen Peace College to discuss issues related to controlled nuclear fusion devices.

Just as Mr. Hua and Director Wang were busy calling for help, Tang Ren and his ninth grandson Tang Rui were led by bodyguards to Villa No. 1 of Shenzhen Peace College, where they met the Zhang family who were preparing to have dinner.

As soon as Tang Ren entered the villa, he glanced around and found that the dining table was full of food, but no one had come to the table yet. "Are my brother-in-law and Shu Ting not here?"

Tang Xin replied to her eldest brother: "They just finished the meeting and will be back in a few minutes."

"Fourth Aunt!" Tang Rui bowed slightly to Tang Xin and greeted her.

Tang Xin responded with a smile, and then asked this grandchild, who was the same age as Zhang Bei and Zhang Nan, to go to the study on the second floor and ask Zhang Bei and the others to come down for dinner.

After Tang Xin asked Tang Ren to sit down, she asked directly, "Brother, what is the matter with you coming here this time?"

Tang Ren took the tea from the nanny and hesitated for a moment. "Ah Xin, do you know when your brother-in-law's smartphone will be built and when it is expected to be put on the market?"

"It seems like they are waiting for the joint venture mobile phone factory with Hong Kong Island Telecom. I don't know the details. You can ask Shu Ting later." Tang Xin replied indifferently.

Tang Ren naturally knew that Island Telecom had established joint venture telecommunications companies and joint venture smartphone manufacturing plants overseas. Unfortunately, Island Telecom had no plans in countries such as Magnesium, South Korea, India, and Vietnam. The Tang family only had a chance to cooperate with Taiwan.

"That potion that prolongs life by 100 years..." Just when Tang Ren wanted to ask something, the sound of a car stopping outside and the voices of bodyguards greeting Zhang Heping and Chen Shuting made Tang Ren temporarily stop asking questions.

With Zhang Heping returning home, the Zhang family’s dinner began.

Tang Ren threw the previous question about smartphones to Chen Shuting again.

Chen Shuting glanced at her husband and saw that he had no intention of objecting before she answered, "There are three factories in China that have obtained our smartphone technology licenses, and 3 overseas. We have no plans to build our own mobile phone factory for the time being."

Because Tang Ren's family owns shares in a smartphone manufacturer in Taiwan, they know that the smartphone's launch date has not yet been determined.

Since Chen Shuting didn't mention the launch date of the phone, Tang Ren changed the subject.

"Brother-in-law, can you think of using that 100-year life potion to increase your body's resistance?"

Tang Ren originally wanted to ask him if he could use the 100-year longevity potion, but when he remembered that his father Tang Ming didn't use this medicine, he temporarily gave up the idea.

"That kind of medicine has never been tried on AIDS patients, and its specific effects and side effects are unknown." Zhang Heping politely declined, not wanting to waste his energy on Tang Lao Er.

Zhang Heping ate quickly. Tang Ren asked two more questions, and then Zhang Heping got up and went out to attend another meeting, leaving his concubine Chen Shuting to deal with this brother-in-law.

The next day, on the morning of September 9st, Shenzhen Peace Vocational Training College held its first opening ceremony for freshmen.

Foreign businessmen who have donated to the Peace College were invited to the college to participate in the opening ceremony.

In addition, there are relevant leaders of the Shenzhen government and heads of some companies and factories.

From today on, Shenzhen Peace Vocational Training College will no longer be closed as before, only the defense of the underground base remains.

Zhang Heping’s speech was very brief. He talked about the students’ study direction and future career direction after graduation.

What students and foreign businessmen are most interested in is the employment direction mentioned by President Zhang, which includes recruiting the best candidates to work in the factory jointly established by Heping Group in Shenzhen.

What students care about is the salary after getting a job. They have more or less heard that the salary in Shenzhen is high, and among them, the factory owned by Zhang, the richest man in Hong Kong, offers the highest salary!
And those foreign investors heard the news they wanted to hear most, that the graduates here could enter the Shenzhen Heping factory, which meant that the relevant teaching content was related to smartphone components and was worth their money for targeted training.

After the opening ceremony, Shenzhen Peace College entered into semi-military management. 1266 freshmen began to participate in military training, while Zhang Heping returned to Hong Kong Island with his family.

Zhang Heping left the site selection requirements for the controlled nuclear fusion project to Mr. Hua and others, asking them to apply and choose a location first.

When Zhang Heping left, he made it very clear that if a project and site could not be decided in the country within a month, he would do it in Hong Kong Island or other places.

This is not a threat, and I will not compromise with anyone!
The controlled nuclear fusion project is a scientific and technological competition project that Zhang Heping must promote this year!

Because the life extension research promoted at the end of last year has been advanced to the production stage by Hong Kong Island Pharmaceutical Factory.

The biochemical research laboratories in other countries must have been questioned by the above, questioning why they have not developed drugs to delay aging, and then they will increase their funding!

After Tang Ren followed Zhang Heping's family back to Hong Kong Island, he traveled around and attended various banquets hosted by Hong Kong celebrities.

Compared with Zhang Heping's abstinence and Chen Shuting's support for her husband, Tang Ren is obviously a better business partner to get along with.

However, even though Zhang Heping and Chen Shuting rarely attended gatherings of Hong Kong Island's upper class society, no one dared to publicly criticize them.

If this gets to the ears of the Zhang family, then you’ll have no chance of staying in Hong Kong Island!
The main reason why Tang Ren is so active in participating in various banquets is that there are many representatives from the European and American families present recently.

The Tang family, with half of their assets in Magnesium, naturally had to build good relationships with these big capitalists and expand their network before they could do business in various countries. Tang Ren had long seen that although his fourth brother-in-law earned magnesium dollars from the Magnesium guys, for various reasons, he did not take the Magnesium market seriously at all, and always had the attitude of "you can buy if you want".

That's why he took his sons to develop in Magnesium and sold the products of Peace Group to Magnesium.

What he didn't expect was that what really made their family rich was not selling products, but stock speculation, which had a very strong speculative nature!
Tang Ren’s inherent thinking is that he doesn’t want to touch stocks because he has experienced the ups and downs of the real estate and stock markets in Hong Kong Island and knows that there are great risks involved.

What finally changed his mind was what Zhang Heping said to Tang Lie and Tang Qiang.

Otherwise, how could he agree to sell Datang Automobile Company's shares in Magnesium and then rush into the Japanese stock market.

Thanks to Tang Ren's efforts, Stepmother Investment Company finally agreed to unconditionally accept the compensation of 5 million magnesium yuan from the five major investment banks in Magnesium for breach of loan contract.

The reason why the Magnesium people gave up their request for the Peace Hospital to be open to them is because Tang Ren promised the Magnesium people that he would sell the Peace Group's drugs, medical equipment, etc. to Magnesium, including the Life 100 potion and related nutritional supplements.

In terms of medical care, the Taiwanese are still relatively confident and feel that Heping Hospital is not much ahead of them.

This can be seen from the relevant medical technologies that Japanese people learned at the Peace Hospital and the medical teaching videos on the World Internet Forum.

In addition to the 100-year longevity potion that Zhang Heping accidentally discovered!

That’s right, many experts in the country believe that the 100-year life potion was discovered by Zhang Heping by accident.

The reason why they are so sure is that the people of Magnesium cannot enter the Peace Health Medical Research Institute, not even the first floor, which leads to some prejudice.

While Tang Ren was enjoying his glory in Hong Kong Island and attending various banquets, the second brother Tang Yi was still struggling on the verge of death.

After Zhang Heping visited Tang Laoer last month, he ignored that guy and let him stay in the intensive care unit. Anyway, Tang Hai paid for his hospitalization fees.

Tang Hai came to Hong Kong Island this time, not only because he was summoned by his grandfather Tang Ming, but also because he wanted to give it a try and see if he could take over the big business of smartphone screen production.

Unfortunately, Zhang Heping had already handed over the production of smartphone screens to the Heping Display Factory in Wucheng, leaving Tang Hai no chance at all.

The Hong Kong Island Pharmaceutical Factory was still under construction. It was impossible for Zhang Heping to hand over the production method of the Longevity 100 potion to the pharmaceutical factory at this time. Otherwise, it would seem very abrupt, and it would be difficult to explain to others in the future that he "didn't know" the side effects of this potion at the genetic level.

At noon on September 9, Tang Ren took advantage of the Zhang family's lunch time to come over and talk about his idea of ​​having a party on Saturday.

"Brother-in-law, tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival. If you don't want to attend the party on Saturday, can you go back to the capital to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival and come back on Sunday?" Tang Ren discussed with Zhang Heping with a smile:

"Those foreigners have always been curious about the situation inside our Renheyi community. I'm thinking of asking the Umbrella Company's bodyguards to appropriately demonstrate the defense measures here. This can reduce the temptation of many foreign agents. What do you think?"

"Brother-in-law, this idea..." Zhang Heping put down his bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a tissue, then looked at Tang Ren seriously and said, "It's very dangerous!"

"Only the party without confidence needs to show its claws to the outside world, but the Umbrella Company does not need to do so."

"Besides, your idea of ​​inviting a wolf into the house and exposing the internal defense layout of Renheyi Community is very dangerous."

"I will not increase the security pressure on my bodyguards just because of outsiders' thoughts and opinions. People will die!"

The word "outsider" exploded in Tang Ren's ears. Zhang Heping's words had a hidden meaning, as if he was saying that Tang Ren was also an outsider.

Recently, Tang Ren has been highly praised by a group of Hong Kong celebrities and representatives of foreign big families. His mentality has suddenly become much more inflated. He even wants to take those foreigners to visit the Renheyi community. This is how he came up with the idea of ​​holding a party on Saturday.

Tang Ren was so shocked by Zhang Heping's seemingly polite refusal that he suddenly recalled many past events.

Especially Zhang Heping's last sentence, "It will kill people!"

Tang Ren suddenly realized that if he really brought those foreigners into the Renheyi Community, if something went wrong and aroused Zhang Heping's murderous intent, God knows what kind of trouble would arise later!
"Well... I'll move the party to the Peace Hotel!" Tang Ren said, then said goodbye and went back next door.

The next day is Mid-Autumn Festival, morning.

Mr. Hua brought the head of the Southern Power Company and several followers to Hong Kong Island and found Zhang Heping in the laboratory on the top floor of the Medical Research Institute.

"Heping, don't you have a day off for Mid-Autumn Festival?" As soon as Mr. Hua arrived, he greeted people inside with a smile through the glass.

"The experiment has reached a critical stage and cannot be interrupted in the next few days." Zhang Heping responded without turning his head, with his back to the corridor.

Mr. Hua ignored the puzzled expressions on the faces of the others and said to himself in front of the glass partition, "The higher-ups have approved the controlled nuclear fusion project. The Southern Power Company will cooperate with you. The location is set at Dapeng Peninsula. Do you think it's feasible?"

"That's fine!" Zhang Heping said distractedly while staring at the microscope: "Once the controlled nuclear fusion device is developed, it will be just right for use on aerospace vehicles."

"By the way, has Peace Space's satellite launch mission been finalized?"

"We are still discussing this matter!" Mr. Hua frowned and said, "The delay at the ITU was caused by the guys from Magnesium."

"On the one hand, they seek cooperation with us in the field of semiconductors, while on the other hand, they create obstacles for us in other areas. What mean behavior!"

Zhang Heping said calmly: "It's just the logic of a bunch of bandits. If we don't show a stronger force to deter others, the Magnesium people will not take us seriously."

"However, no matter what obstacles there are, we must launch the positioning satellite into space this year."

"Otherwise, in terms of precision-guided strikes, we will be beaten to the ground by the Chinese!"

Mr. Hua nodded seriously. Zhang Heping had expressed his concerns about the military term "precision-guided strike" and its application in actual combat during his ideological report.

Therefore, Mr. Hua supports Zhang Heping in this regard. "The positioning satellites have been developed according to the information you provided. We will give priority to launching these positioning satellites, even if we don't apply for orbital resources!"

"That's good!" Zhang Heping said calmly, "We can still launch the communication satellite slowly, but the global positioning satellite cannot be delayed any longer."

"The economic problems of the Magnesium people are getting more and more serious. The over-issued magnesium dollar must be tied to more oil resources to prevent the magnesium dollar's credit from collapsing."

"So, I infer that it won't be long before the Magnesium people will take military action against the Middle East!"
