Chapter 800: The raw materials of the 100-year-old life potion were stolen
When Mr. Hua found Zhang Heping's position so firm, he couldn't help but think of three years ago when Zhang Heping told him that the economies of Japan, magnesium, the Soviet Union and other countries had problems and judged that they were at risk of economic collapse at any time.

Now, North Su is really in danger!

In that month, the Workers' Party in Poland ceased its activities and the Communist Party in Yugoslavia disappeared.

Northern Jiangsu, which attaches great importance to heavy industry and despises light industry, is now like a powder keg with a lit fuse, ready to "explode" at any time!
Thinking about the Japanese economic bubble that Zhang Heping has mentioned many times, I'm afraid the outcome will be revealed this year!
"Grandpa, what are you talking about? You're being so mysterious!" Hua's granddaughter Ying came over and politely greeted Zhang Heping, then asked, "Uncle Zhang, does the anti-aging drug you gave Grandma Zheng really have no side effects?"

"All medicines are poisonous, so how can there be no side effects!" Zhang Heping smiled and stood up. "It's just that the side effects of the medicine are not obvious, and most people can't see them. This is why I left Mr. Zheng here to continue observing."

As he spoke, Zhang Heping walked towards the large group of people making dumplings.

Most of the people gathered here for the reunion are from the north, so everyone chose the simplest New Year’s Eve dinner, dumplings!

Zhang Heping doesn't have much appetite, so he doesn't mind eating simple food.

He walked behind Ma Xiuzhen and Tang Xin, and after a brief chat with the men, women, young and old who were busy making dumplings, he went to the mahjong table next to him where there was a lot of noise, and helped the eldest sister Zhang Zhaodi draw a card, but unfortunately she didn't win.

Just when Zhang Heping was doing nothing, Secretary Chen brought the person in charge of the Shenzhen government to Mr. Hua.

The three people came to wish Mr. Hua a happy new year, but they brought three gifts, one each for Mr. Hua, Director Wang, and Zhang Heping, without leaving out any one.

Zhang Heping was called over and exchanged a few polite words. After he promised that the Heping Group would increase its investment in Shenzhen next year, the three people from the Shenzhen government left with Secretary Chen, smiling.

After these three people left, it was like a crack in the river embankment. Wave after wave of people came to pay New Year's greetings, and Zhang Heping had to deal with it until the sun went down.

"You must have done this on purpose!" Zhang Heping sat next to Mr. Hua again, picked up the water cup and took a sip.

"What are you doing on purpose?" Mr. Hua said with a smile, "I didn't call these people here."

Zhang Heping pointed at Secretary Chen who was seeing off the guests and said helplessly: "If he lets anyone in again, I won't bother with him."

Mr. Hua glanced at his watch and said with a smile, "No one will come at this time. If anyone wants to come, they will have to wait until after the third day of the Chinese New Year."

It's really inappropriate to come and wish a happy new year during the New Year's Eve dinner.

As the laser projection screen lit up, plates of dumplings were put into the water and the sky gradually darkened.

Zhang Long and Zhang Hu's drone swarm flew into the air, changed the lights to form several flower shapes, and then fell down like dumplings because the battery ran out.

It’s not that the batteries of those drones were not of sufficient capacity, but that after the two brothers tested the drones for half a day, they did not have time to charge and extend the battery life of thousands of drones, which led to this mistake.

Fortunately, I bought fireworks before, so I don’t need that little bit of light and shadow.

After the Spring Festival Gala was over, everyone said goodbye to each other and went home to rest.

The first day of the new year is much more leisurely than yesterday.

After giving out red envelopes and eating the dumplings we made yesterday, everyone went out to go window shopping.

Because tickets have been basically cancelled in Shenzhen, and prices are cheaper than in Hong Kong Island, many people from Hong Kong Island come here to shop, eat and have fun at this time of year.

On the contrary, it is somewhat difficult for mainlanders to go shopping in Hong Kong Island.

Therefore, the best place for mainlanders to buy Hong Kong products is still Zhongying Street.

But the problem is that most of the things sold on Zhongying Street are produced in Guangdong Province. It’s just that there is an extra production procedure, which is nothing special.

When there are more people here, all kinds of monsters and demons come out.

Zhang Heping took his family out shopping today, wanting to buy some southern specialties for his eldest and second sisters to take back as gifts. However, they ran into a group of pickpockets who were so blind that their mood was ruined.

When Zhang Heping's family returned to Shenzhen Peace College, they heard that one of Mr. Hua's granddaughters had lost her cell phone on the street that day, and Director Wang had gone to the police station to pick up the granddaughter who had been involved in a fight.

When Mr. Hua heard that Zhang Heping and his family encountered eight pickpockets who wanted to take revenge on them, he angrily called the person in charge of the Shenzhen government and asked them to maintain law and order!

As a result, Zhao Jianguo, the sixth brother, who had only stayed at home in the capital for a few days, hurried back at noon the next day. After all, he was the director of the Shenzhen Smart City Management Center!
Since its establishment, the smart city management center has been very effective in catching criminals and collecting crime evidence.

Just as Zhao Jianguo was attending a meeting on tightening public security in Shenzhen, Zhang Heping sent his two sisters and brother-in-law on a plane from Huadu to the capital.

Then, Zhang Heping discovered that there were many migrant workers carrying large and small bags, pots and pans gathered in Huadu.

On the highway back to Shenzhen, Zhang Heping also found that several buses were also packed with migrant workers. He couldn't help but wonder why these people came so early.
I’m afraid they didn’t even have the New Year’s Eve dinner and went out to work!
Although Zhang Heping had this doubt in his mind, he had no intention of digging deeper into it.

Therefore, he didn't know that those workers who came back early were working overtime in sweatshops to earn piece-rate wages.

As Zhang Heping once again entered the laboratory and immersed himself in researching anti-aging drugs, the wave of migrant workers heading south to work intensified.

Although there are many factories in Guangdong Province, the number of recruitment vacancies is limited, and workers are stranded in bus stations, train stations, etc.

Soon after, the temporary residence permit, which had been implemented in Shenzhen for several years, was extended to cities in Guangdong Province such as Huadu and Zhuhai, and the flow of migrant workers began to be strictly controlled.

However, these things did not reach Zhang Heping, and he did not care about the wages and benefits of workers in other factories.

In February, after the Baoguo Party gave up its one-party system and changed its name to the Socialist Party, Zhang Heping realized that the Northern Soviet Union would not fall apart all at once, but had already entered the countdown to disintegration!

Therefore, when conducting the experiment, Zhang Heping met with some North Jiangsu experts and scholars in the Heping Group, talked to them about work and life, and made it clear that he hoped they would bring their families to settle in Hong Kong Island.

Although the salary and benefits of Peace Group cannot be said to be the best in the world, it has a good reputation. Few people would object to the fact that the treatment is above average.

Therefore, after Zhang Heping talked to them, many experts and scholars from Northern Jiangsu were still interested.

But they didn't dare to act yet. After all, the giant North Su had not really fallen yet, and they were worried that they would be convicted if they immigrated to Hong Kong Island!
Due to the insufficient electricity supply in the mainland, the production of smartphone parts and modules cannot be increased, resulting in the sales of modular smartphones being in a real hunger marketing state.

Fortunately, the 4G communication network abroad has not yet been fully built, and the demand for parts from overseas joint venture smartphone manufacturers is not too strong, so Tingmei Trading Company can still cope with it.

As for the domestic sales of modular smartphones, Post and Telecommunications, Nandian and Telecommunications are free to compete with each other, and Tingmei Trading Company does not participate.

As a result, modular smartphones that cost less than 1 yuan were sold for more than 1 yuan in China. Zhang Heping felt that they were really cruel to their own people, because the price of modular smartphones in Hong Kong Island did not exceed Hong Kong dollars.

The Hong Kong dollar exchange rate at this time is 1 RMB = 1.6 Hong Kong dollars!

Of course, for mainlanders who can afford modular smartphones at this time, there is no need to feel sorry for them because most of that money comes from the gray area!
The three thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plants in Zhuhai, Wucheng and Modu started trial operation after being inspected by Zhang Heping last year.

If nothing goes wrong, the power supply will be officially operational in June this year, which will definitely alleviate the power shortage problem in the production of smartphone parts modules.

After more than half a year of silence on the news of Shouyuan 100 medicine production, with the installation of new equipment at the Hong Kong Island Pharmaceutical Factory, there are finally signs of production starting.

Unfortunately, the Hong Kong Pharmaceutical Factory has not yet obtained the production raw materials, related pharmaceutical formulas and processes, and even the most basic employee training has not yet been carried out, which has raised the expectations of those foreigners a bit too high.

In particular, when the cosmetology department of Hong Kong Peace Hospital stopped enrolling elderly people for free drug trials and announced that the existing 100-year-old medicine had been used up, many foreigners speculated that the Hong Kong pharmaceutical factory would soon resume production.

Otherwise, there will be no 100-year life potion available in Heping Hospital!
Without the 100-year life-extending potion, not only would drug testing be delayed, but it would also delay Heping Group’s ability to make money!

Therefore, foreigners still believe that Hong Kong Pharmaceutical Factory will mass-produce the 100-year life-extending potion.

Just over a month after the Shouyuan 100 drug was suspended from drug testing, with the Bank of Japan raising interest rates for the fourth time, the Hong Kong Island Pharmaceutical Factory finally obtained two barrels of raw materials from the top floor of the Peace Healthcare Medical Research Institute.

Just when the outside world thought that the Hong Kong Island Pharmaceutical Factory was about to start mass production of the Longevity 100 potion, the two barrels of raw materials were stolen that night, leaving only two white empty barrels in the pharmaceutical factory warehouse for two days.

Afterwards, the Hong Kong police intervened in the matter and quickly identified five workers from the Hong Kong Island Pharmaceutical Factory based on the surveillance video of the factory.

But this matter was discovered too late. When the Hong Kong police found the five workers who stole the raw materials, they had already been silenced!

As if to prove that the raw materials were not easy to produce, the Hong Kong Island Pharmaceutical Factory underwent another transformation, introducing fully automatic raw material mixing, bottling, boxing and other production equipment, and fired many pharmaceutical factory employees, not to mention the management.

As for the raw materials for the production of the Life 100 potion, it was another long wait. It was unknown when the laboratory on the top floor of the Peace Healthcare Research Institute would be able to produce the second batch of raw materials.

~
Governor's House, Central, Hong Kong Island.

"Are you sure it was done by agents from the Magnesium Special Intelligence Agency?" The Governor of Hong Kong seemed to not believe that the Magnesium people had such strength.

The blonde secretary stood beside the desk and said to the Governor sitting in the boss chair, "The news came from China. It is said that Magnesium invited our domestic biological genetic experts to jointly research the 100-year lifespan potion."

"The 100-year-long life potion that the Magnesium people obtained before is not as much as our country." The Governor nodded slightly and said, "They sent out an invitation now, which must be because they got more potion experimental materials, so they invited our experts to participate."

"Has the reward for tracking raw materials announced by the Peace Group on the World Internet Forum not been cancelled yet?"

"Yes, sir!" The female secretary said slowly, "In addition, the Peace Group added another 1 million magnesium yuan reward this morning. I think it won't be long before they know that the raw materials were stolen by the magnesium people."

The Governor of Hong Kong said without comment: "Go and notify Shen Bi to come over!"

……

Peace Healthcare Institute, Central, Hong Kong Island.

When Shen Bi saw Zhang Heping in the glass partition on the top floor, he saw him moving a white plastic barrel in the laboratory. He didn't know what was in the barrel.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm here on behalf of the Governor of Hong Kong to tell you something. I hope you can keep it confidential after listening to it, and at least don't say it was me or the Governor who said it." After Shen Bi finished speaking, he heard a "hmm" in the laboratory.

Then, Shen Bi told what he had heard from the Governor of Hong Kong, "Last night, Magnesium invited biological genetic experts from various European countries to jointly research a potion that can extend one's lifespan to 100 years!"

"As far as we know, the Magnesium people don't have many 100-year-long life potions. They sent out this invitation probably because they got more 100-year-long life potions recently."

"I understand!" Zhang Heping picked up another white plastic bucket and said casually, "Please ask Mr. Shen to tell the Governor of Hong Kong that I will definitely keep a few bottles of the 100-year life potion for you in the subsequent production!"

How could Zhang Heping not know who stole the two barrels of 100-year-old potion concentrate?

In order to let foreigners steal the formula and production process of the 100-year longevity potion, and make foreigners think that they obtained the technology of the 100-year longevity potion through their own efforts, Zhang Heping came up with the idea of ​​using the 100-year longevity potion concentrate as bait.

This concentrated liquid, which is the raw material for the production of the Lifespan 100 potion that is rumored by the outside world, was specially customized by Zhang Heping for those foreigners.

No matter which country's agents stole the 100-year-long life potion concentrate, as long as their biological genetic experts have access to the human gene cracking project downstairs in the Medical Research Institute, there is a high chance that they can reverse-engineer the two barrels of 100-year-long life potion concentrate and find out the production method of 100-year-long life potion.

Zhang Heping felt that leaking the formula of the Life 100 potion too easily was inconsistent with the stable and cautious image that the Heping Group has always had.

Therefore, by giving the Hong Kong Island pharmaceutical factory the so-called raw materials first and not providing the production process for the time being, and allowing the raw materials to be stolen first, foreign agents will have the illusion that their hard work has been rewarded.

As for whether the Longevity 100 potion concentrate was stolen by the Magnesium people, the Japanese people, or the Eagle people, it doesn't matter.

Because no matter who stole it, the Peace Group would post a reward online to prove the importance of the 100-year-old concentrated potion, forcing the thief to spend manpower and money to reverse-engineer it.

"Mr. Zhang, I heard from my friends in Hong Kong that you are researching a better longevity potion!" Shen Bi stood in front of the glass partition and did not leave immediately. Instead, he asked about the news he had recently obtained.

If this was true, he would not want to use the potion that would extend his lifespan to 100 years but would cause him to lose his hair and teeth.

Shen Bi didn't get an answer from Zhang Heping and knew that Zhang Heping didn't want to talk about it.

But as it concerns his future retirement life, Shen Bi had to shamelessly say, "I also heard that the longevity potion has very few side effects and can also improve men's sperm activity and increase the chance of conception. I wonder if it's true."

Zhang Heping chuckled and said, "Mr. Shen, do you want to have a few more children to raise?"

Hearing Zhang Heping's teasing, Shen Bi became excited and said with a smile: "I also want to learn from Mr. Zhang and have more children, so that there will always be one or two children to accompany me in the future, so that no one will care about me when I am old."

"Although the second-generation longevity medicine has fewer side effects, it cannot be mass-produced." Zhang Heping said while collecting waste liquid in the laboratory:
"I am currently researching the third generation of longevity potions, but the effect of delaying aging is not very ideal. I will start researching the fourth generation of longevity potions in a few days."

"If you're willing to wait for the new product, I can just leave one for you then."

Shen Bi's eyes lit up, and he secretly thought that it was a good thing that he asked one more question, and he kept saying words of thanks...
