Break out of the courtyard

When they went out for a walk after dinner, Chen Shuting took Zhang Heping's right arm and whispered:
"Honey, should we remind Hong Kong Island Telecom to sell as much of its shares as possible while Japanese stocks are supported by funds?"

"Sure!" Zhang Heping said casually, "By the way, tell them that it's best to sell all of the Nichia Telecom shares before the end of this year!"

Chen Shuting responded, then took out her cell phone and called Mr. Bao from Hong Kong Island Telecommunications Company and repeated Zhang Heping's request.

Before the end of this year, which is the last trading day before the New Year for Japanese people, Friday, December 12th!
After receiving the news, Bao Wujun, general manager of Hong Kong Island Telecommunications, symbolically sent a message to other shareholders of the company and arranged for someone to follow up on the matter that evening.

Although Mr. Bao felt that the Zhang family was making a big deal out of the Japanese textbook incident, he did not dare to go against the will of the Heping Group, the major shareholder.

Not to mention that the Peace Group controls 57% of the shares of Island Telecom. Just taking the smartphones whose purchasing expectations are now skyrocketing, if Tingmei Trading does not provide modular components to Island Telecom's joint venture smartphone manufacturer, Island Telecom will be in trouble!

Of course, the Peace Group will not do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit itself. At most, they will replace Mr. Bao and choose an obedient person to serve as the general manager of Hong Kong Island Telecommunications Company.

What's more, as the number of ports under the Sea, Land and Air Company increases, it will be even more difficult for the Bao family, because of their shipping business, to offend the Zhang family who controls the Heping Group.

The next day, as Hong Kong Island Telecommunications Company sold off Nippon Telecom shares, institutional funds from Japan, Europe and the United States only symbolically supported the price of Nippon Telecom shares and then allowed it to fall.

It’s not that Japanese, European and American institutions do not have enough funds, but when they knew that Hong Kong Island Telecom was going to sell a large number of Nippon Telecom shares, why didn’t they wait for the price to drop a little more before buying them in?

As a result, after the stock price of Nippon Telecom fell by 6.5%, the sell orders above just stayed there.

It is obvious that the traders of Hong Kong Island Telecom Company do not want to sell Japan Island Telecom shares at a low price.

In addition, after magnesium stocks opened last night, they did not continue to fall like the stock market crash two years ago, and stock markets in various countries have rebounded to some extent today.

Thanks to the efforts of major institutions, Japanese stocks have also risen a lot!

The retail investors and small institutions that had fled earlier are like piranhas that have smelled blood. They are swarming into the Japanese stock market, grabbing the stocks released by the large institutions, helping the large institutions to slowly withdraw from the Japanese stock market, which is a volcano that may erupt at any time.

Hong Kong Island Telecom also benefited from this, and took the opportunity to slowly withdraw its sell orders, while selling a small amount of Nippon Telecom shares and putting the Nippon Telecom share price back on the rising curve, preparing to sell the shares when the stock price rose.

Because Hong Kong Island Telecom was selling off its shares in Nippon Telecom, Shen Bi was entrusted to find Zhang Heping and tell OMG that those big families were willing to take over Nippon Telecom shares and hoped to negotiate the stock transfer price with Zhang Heping.

Zhang Heping once gave those Europeans a chance to meet and discuss cooperation, but they did not know how to cherish it.

Therefore, Zhang Heping would not waste time meeting them and directly asked Shen Bi to go back and tell them that it was the business of Hong Kong Telecommunications Company.

Because the Lifespan 100 potion is still in the trial stage, the representatives of the European Magnesium family are not in a hurry and continue to stay in Hong Kong Island waiting for news on the drug trial from Peace Hospital.

It is unknown whether they have taken down anyone from the Hong Kong Island Pharmaceutical Factory in private!
On the contrary, in Shenzhen, the news that Old Lady Zheng was preparing to test the medicine spread, which aroused many doubts.

Speaking of questioning, most of them are old men and women in their seventies and eighties!

They wanted Zhang Heping to explain clearly how the Lifespan 100 potion delays aging, as well as the related side effects.

To put it bluntly, they also want to use that kind of medicine!

However, they were not familiar with Zhang Heping, and the requirements for drug trials at Hong Kong Peace Hospital and Capital Harmonious Hospital were that the patient must be over 90 years old. They had no chance to try the drug, nor did they dare to try it easily.

So, when Zhang Heping went to Shenzhen a week later to take the pulse of Old Lady Zheng and decide whether to modify the treatment prescription, he met many old men and women living in the villas of Old Lady Hua and Director Wang.

Shenzhen Peace College is now a semi-open school with military management. Anyone with a certain level of qualification can apply to visit. Only the underground base cannot be entered at will.

Therefore, the person standing aside and silently observing Zhang Heping taking the pulse of Old Mrs. Zheng is not necessarily someone recognized by Old Mr. Hua.

"Mr. Zheng, how are you feeling recently?" Zhang Heping withdrew his hand and did not pick up the pen next to him.

"I feel much better now. I just want to know if I can drink less milk in the morning and evening." Mrs. Zheng said with a smile, "I am so old now. It would be a waste if I drink too much."

"If you don't drink milk, I can only make beef bone soup for you." Zhang Heping ignored the old men and women who were eavesdropping and smiled, "So, do you want to drink milk, or do you want me to kill a cow and make soup for you every week?"

"I'll continue drinking milk." Old Mrs. Zheng replied helplessly, then looked at the person next to her.

Just as Mrs. Zheng was thinking about introducing them to Zhang Heping one by one, Zhang Heping said to the male doctor Lu Chen beside him: "Use Mr. Zheng's prescription for another week, and don't change it for the time being."

"In the next week, pay attention to Mr. Zheng's cataracts and changes in bone density."

"Okay, Teacher Zhang!" The young doctor Lu Chen nodded in response.

Seeing Zhang Heping stand up, Old Lady Zheng hurriedly spoke and introduced everyone in the room to Zhang Heping.

However, Zhang Heping pretended to be ignorant even though he knew the truth. After briefly getting to know the old men and women, he claimed that he had important research projects in the laboratory and left first.

Mr. Hua, Director Wang, and Secretary Chen are not here today. Zhang Heping couldn't help but guess that they didn't want to keep those old men and women.

Therefore, there was no need for Zhang Heping to stay and waste his breath. He could just leave Doctor Lu Chen to answer the questions of those old men and women.

It was Monday. After leaving the villa area, Zhang Heping took a walk around the teaching building and the laboratory building to observe the learning status of the students. However, he did not find any lazy students.

Without waiting for Professor Hua and Director Wang to come over, Zhang Heping left Shenzhen Peace College with his bodyguards.

It was not until Zhang Heping boarded the boat back to Hong Kong Island that Mr. Hua called Zhang Heping's cell phone and briefly described the situation of those old men and women.

It was similar to what Zhang Heping guessed. Those who were familiar with Mr. Hua took the advice and did not come, waiting for follow-up news on the drug trial.

The old man and the old woman who showed up at Shenzhen Peace College today were either those who refused to listen to advice or those who came uninvited with others. Mr. Hua was reluctant to chase them away due to the relationship, and since those people were thick-skinned, they stayed.

"Next time you come back, call me in advance." Mr. Hua said with a smile on the other end of the phone: "Fortunately, I have something to go out for today, otherwise those people would definitely ask me to keep you and prescribe some medicine for them to recuperate."

Zhang Heping hesitated for a moment. He wanted to ask Mr. Hua to take Mrs. Zheng to Hong Kong Island next week, but if he did so, his intention to avoid those old men and women would be too obvious.

Besides, Mr. Hua may not have plans to let those old men and women take the medicine, but it is currently in the drug trial stage and there are still many unknown factors.

In particular, he didn't know Zhang Heping's arrangement for the 100-year lifespan potion.

"Okay, call me next time you come back!" Zhang Heping said as he was about to hang up the phone.

Mr. Hua said hurriedly, "Heping, after the Zhuhai Computer Industrial Park is reorganized, do you think we can renew the contract with them?"

Zhang Heping frowned and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Hua, didn't you notice?"

"If Tingmei Trading continues to sign a contract with Zhuhai Computer Industrial Park, they will only do OEM and will never have their own brand. They will not care about domestic and foreign markets, let alone think about technological innovation." "They are just eliminated by Tingmei Trading now. Domestic and foreign markets are still open to them. If they build their own brand and find sales channels, they will make no less money than before."

Mr. Hua was silent for a while before responding, "It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish! I understand. I will explain this to Zhuhai Computer Industrial Park."

Capital Harmony Hospital, dermatologist's office.

"Doctor Hu, my mother has been in the hospital for more than 100 days. Can't I try your -year-long life potion?"

Doctor Hu Hui, who was comparing the physical examination data of the drug test subjects before and after, looked up at the person who came and found that it was a relative of Zhang Heping's mother's Ma family, so he patiently explained:
"This is the drug testing process set by Teacher Zhang. The tester must first take good care of his body and meet the drug requirements before he can try the Life 100 Potion to reduce the side effects of the drug."

"If you have any questions, you can call Teacher Zhang directly."

How could this little old man from Majiatun dare to call Zhang Heping?

Not to mention that he didn't have a mobile phone or Zhang Heping's phone number, he wouldn't even ask Ma Xiuzhen to call Zhang Heping.

It was really because Zhang Heping's return before National Day left them with a very deep impression of keeping strangers away.

The old man smiled naively, "It's going to snow soon, I'm thinking of taking the medicine early and going home to spend the winter."

After hearing what the drug trial participant's family said, doctor Hu Hui realized that it would be November in a few days.

Thinking about how he lost his position as director of the cosmetic department at Hong Kong Peace Hospital two months ago, Hu Hui couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Why did he become so obsessed at that time?
Seeing that the doctor didn't say anything, the old man left the doctor's office embarrassedly.

Without outsiders present, the other doctors in the office started gossiping.

"Doctor Hu, I saw on the World Internet Forum that in the experimental records of other countries testing drugs that extend lifespan to 100 years, they directly injected the drug into the elderly and then observed them. Why do we have to go through so much trouble before testing the drug?"

"Doctor Hu, is it true that people under 90 years old are not suitable for using the 100-year-old life potion? Why is there no age limit when testing drugs abroad?"

"Doctor Hu, was it also so troublesome when testing the drug at Hong Kong Peace Hospital?"

……

After Ma Xiuzhen and Zhang Bing arrived at the Harmony Hospital, they first looked at the door of the doctor's office. Seeing that Dr. Hu was surrounded by other doctors, they did not go over to disturb their conversation.

Afterwards, Ma Xiuzhen and Zhang Bing went to visit the two aunts from the Ma family and comforted them as they wanted to go back.

Then, Ma Xiuzhen and her husband went to the ward next door where Lao Zhang’s relatives were staying.

Unlike Majiatun where only two old ladies came and two family members stayed, Zhang Bing's relatives in his hometown, after hearing the bragging of the first group of relatives who came, immediately persuaded five old men and women to come to the capital to try the medicine.

Also coming along were a dozen or so family members who wanted to take advantage of the situation.

Unfortunately, after Zhang Heping's previous disturbance, Zhang Bing was beaten by Ma Xiuzhen and was lectured by his grandson Zhang Bei, Zhang Bing dared not accept the flattery of the dozen or so relatives who came to him to ask for money.

Ma Xiuzhen told Zhang Bing very clearly that if Zhang Bing wanted to show off in front of his relatives, he should pay for those relatives to stay at the Capital Hotel himself and don't even think about using his son's money!

It’s not that Ma Xiuzhen is stingy, it’s just that these relatives who come to ask for money have been coming in waves. If she really gives in, who knows how many so-called relatives she has met and haven’t met will come in the future.

"Brother-in-law, you are finally here!" An old woman in a crimson cotton coat and black cotton pants enthusiastically pulled a middle-aged woman with dark, rough skin over to them, "Third brother, how is Cuihua's work going?"

When the word "work" was heard, the originally noisy ward suddenly became quiet, and even the sound of swallowing saliva could be heard clearly.

Zhang Bing didn't respond. Ever since he almost made his sons so angry that they had to stay in a hotel last time, his two daughters rarely spoke to him. They were obviously blaming him for bringing relatives home without permission.

In fact, if you think about it more deeply, Zhang Zhaodi and Zhang Pandi are blaming Zhang Bing for making promises to people without thinking. He himself has no ability to arrange jobs for his relatives, but he always can't help but promise others, and then throws the difficult problems to Zhang Zhaodi and Zhang Pandi sisters after returning home.

As the sisters Zhang Zhaodi and Zhang Pandidi's ranks and positions rise, more and more people are keeping an eye on them. For the sake of their own and their children's future, they dare not arrange jobs for their relatives for personal gain!

The key is that the units they are currently working in are not suitable for their low-educated relatives in their hometown.

The old woman who asked the questions was Zhang Bing’s second sister.

This time she brought her father-in-law from her husband's family to try the medicine, and also brought her fourth daughter Li Cuihua who was already married.

It is said that during the difficult times in the 1960s, Li Cuihua and Zhang Cuicui from her eldest uncle's family lived in Zhang Heping's house for a period of time.

If it weren't for the policy changes and enough food, the two girls might have stayed in the capital for a while.

It's just that this time and that time.

Li Cuihua's three older brothers had been arranged by Zhang Zhaodi to work as workers on the railway.

At that time, Zhang Zhaodi also asked Li Cuihua's husband whether he wanted to join the railway as a worker, because there was a large recruitment campaign at that time and there were many vacancies, so it was not a problem to arrange one more person.

However, Zhang Bing's second sister disagreed and insisted on arranging a job for Li Cuihua first, so it has been delayed until now.

Ma Xiuzhen ignored her second sister. Her whole family was ungrateful!

The eldest daughter Zhang Zhaodi arranged three jobs for their family. However, over the years, no one from their family came to express their gratitude, not even a single one expressed their gratitude verbally!
Perhaps they thanked Zhang Bing, but Ma Xiuzhen never heard it.

Therefore, Ma Xiuzhen simply ignored the second sister, looked at the other relatives in the ward, and said:

"Yesterday I told you about the side effects of the drug trial, and also told you that during the elderly's drug trial, the hospital can subsidize the food and accommodation expenses of one family member."

"What have you considered now? Who will stay and who will go back?"

Ma Xiuzhen had to speak more bluntly to prevent these people from continuing to stay in the capital.

Recently, Ma Xiuzhen locked up all the money in the house, and Zhang Bing could only use his own private money to support these poor relatives who came to ask for money.

Zhang Bing opened a shoe store and made a lot of money over the years, but with so many relatives staring at him, Ma Xiuzhen believed that Zhang Bing's small pocket would not last long, so she ignored him.

However, just as Ma Xiuzhen was waiting for an answer, an unexpected question was raised.

"Mrs. Zhang, we heard that there is money to be made for drug testing. Is that true?"
