Break out of the courtyard

When Shen Bi saw Zhang Heping move several white plastic barrels to the innermost glass room and start disinfecting and taking off protective clothing, he waited a little longer.

It was not until Zhang Heping came out that Shen Bi followed Zhang Heping downstairs with a smile.

"Mr. Zhang, what do you think about Hungary holding a multi-party parliamentary election?" Shen Bi's seemingly casual question actually involves the most sensitive issue of social systems in the East and the West today.

If you think about it more, maybe it is a warning from the Eagle Country: Northern Sudan is about to be finished, why don’t you quickly join us in the Eagle Country!

Zhang Heping did not answer directly, but asked with a smile: "How much money can you spend to support a party in the election? Is the advertising fee of the Heping Group a lot in a year?"

A simple comparison of capital expenditures can directly reveal the fig leaf of capitalist countries.

What a bullshit election!

It is nothing more than creating public opinion, fooling the people, and then diverting social conflicts!
When it comes to building momentum, who else in the world is as powerful as the Peace Group, which spends billions of dollars every year on advertising in countries around the world!
Even the money that the United States gives every year to so-called non-governmental organizations such as the Committee for a Free Europe, the International Federation of Free Journalists, the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions, and International PEN for its cultural propaganda and infiltration of Eastern European countries is not as much as the advertising fees of the Peace Group.

Shen Bi had no knowledge of election spending in various countries, but as the former chairman of Huifeng Bank, he had heard some information about this from his peers in the industry, so he did not refute Zhang Heping.

Of course, for the sake of the longevity potion, Shen Bi could not refute Zhang Heping in person.

Then, Shen Bi changed his words, which were less about trying to win over others and more about discussing the issue.

"The North Soviet Union abolished its liaison department in Eastern Europe two years ago and said that it would withdraw 24 troops from Eastern Europe by the end of this year. I think the North Soviet Union is ready to give up Eastern Europe. What do you think, Mr. Zhang?"

……

Rijima, Dongdu Stock Exchange.

Aso Dalang and his father-in-law stood behind the floor-to-ceiling glass partition, silently looking at the noisy crowd in the hall downstairs.

After a long while, Aso Taro finally spoke: "Father-in-law, I still think that the Ministry of Finance's frequent short-term interest rate hikes are very risky."

It has been 13 days since the Bank of Japan raised interest rates for the fourth time. Although the Nikkei index is still falling, it has not plummeted, but is slowly moving downward.

The data shows that the Nikkei index has only fallen 12% from its peak at the end of December last year to date, which has led many Japanese who have led the interest rate hike to believe that everything is under control.

It was precisely because of this view that the former Mayor Suzuki wanted Aso Taro to go to the Ministry of Finance to gain experience and benefit from the political achievements brought about by this wave of policy adjustments.

Although the third son-in-law did not finish his words, the former mayor Suzuki knew his concerns. He was afraid that the stock market and property market would plummet, which would in turn cause new economic problems, such as large-scale bad debts in banks!
If that kind of thing really happens, it won't be a reward to the Ministry of Finance, but a reward to take the blame!

"Is the Peace Group still not taking any action?" Former Mayor Suzuki changed the subject, but it was still related to Japanese stocks.

"Hey!" Aso Taro replied hurriedly, "There is no movement from Peace Group and Stepmother Investment. After all the funds under Peace Investment withdrew from Japanese stocks, there is no sign of buying again."

The former Mayor Suzuki frowned and said, "Since you don't want to go to the Ministry of Finance, you should go to Hong Kong Island to visit Mr. Zhang more often while you have nothing to do!"

Aso Taro responded, guessing in his heart what his father-in-law meant. He might be asking him to go to Hong Kong Island to investigate Zhang Heping's research on the longevity potion, and then use it to win over the old people in Japan.

As far as he knew, after the Magnesium people stole the raw materials for the 100-year lifespan potion, they quickly organized a group of biological genetic experts to carry out research on prolonging lifespan.

Many of them are also connected with experts in the Peace Health and Medical Research Institute.

This made Aso Taro very confused. According to Zhang Heping's past counterattack methods, he shouldn't be so calm.

At this moment, Mrs. Aso pushed the door open and walked in. "Father, Dalang, I just received information that the Peace Group is preparing to apply for a patent for the 100-year-old medicine from various countries!"

"How is that possible!" Former Mayor Suzuki was still calm, but Aso Taro was already surprised and said, "They don't even want this kind of monopoly technology. What are they thinking?"

"According to the news from the Peace Healthcare Research Institute, it seems that the previously stolen Life 100 concentrated liquid is easy to be reverse-engineered. In order to reduce losses and prevent thieves from applying for patents, the Peace Group decided to apply for relevant patent protection!" Mrs. Aso said, looking at her old father:
"Father, I think we can apply to Zhang Sang for a patent for the 100-year-old medicine!"

The former mayor Suzuki nodded slightly and said, "It shouldn't be difficult for you to apply for a patent. It just so happens that Dalang has nothing to do recently."

Shenzhen Peace College, next to the artificial lake.

When Mr. Hua heard that Zhang Heping and his family had returned to Shenzhen today, he gave up his afternoon plans and rushed back from Huadu.

Then, Zhang Heping was seen standing on the surface of the lake, holding a long stick in his hand. There seemed to be a line hanging from the stick and extending into the water.

When Mr. Hua and Secretary Chen first saw this scene, they were inevitably shocked, thinking that Zhang Heping had mastered some kind of martial arts that allowed him to float on the water.

When they looked closer, they found that Zhang Heping was standing on a long bamboo stick and was not really standing on the water.

Even so, it still amazed everyone on the shore.

"Dad! The hydrofoil is ready!"

A shout was heard coming from far away, and the little girl Zhang Nuo ran out from Villa No. 1.

Not long after, an electric jeep stopped next to the villa. Two guys, Zhang Long and Zhang Hu, got out of the car and took two strange boards from the car.

The board is divided into three structures: upper, middle and lower. The largest board on top is a bit like a surfboard, but there is a thin long connecting rod in the middle, and the lower part looks like a small airplane with spread wings.

Just at this moment, Zhang Heping waved the long stick in his hand to paddle the water, and stepped on the long bamboo to reach the shore.

Then, he jumped lightly, as if he really knew how to perform martial arts, and easily jumped onto the stone embankment on the shore.

"Dad, how do I use this non-powered hydrofoil board?" Zhang Long handed the black hydrofoil board held above his head to Zhang Heping.

Zhang Heping handed the long stick to his seventh daughter Zhang Nuo, took the non-powered hydrofoil board, and said with a smile: "Put the board in the water, stand on it, and then step rhythmically."

"Huh?" The little girl Zhang Nuo looked at the rope tied to the long stick in her hand in surprise, "Something is moving at the end of the rope. Is there a fish?"

It was because of Zhang Nuo's brief interruption that Zhang Heping had already put the non-powered hydrofoil board into the water. With his extraordinary reaction ability and physical fitness, he stepped on the hydrofoil board and slid up and down into the lake.

Seeing Zhang Heping riding the hydrofoil board and gliding on the water so casually and happily, Zhang Hu, holding another newly made non-powered hydrofoil board, felt itchy for a moment. He eagerly put the hydrofoil board into the water and then stepped on it.

The result is predictable. The kid lost his balance and fell directly into the lake.

There were many people around, and Zhang Hu could swim, so no one was worried about anything happening.

Then, Zhang Long was seen trying to step on the hydrofoil board. Although he stood firmly the first time, the board tilted after just two steps and he fell into the water.

Just when the two brothers Zhang Long and Zhang Hu were not convinced and were ready to try a few more times, Zhang Heping had already turned a small circle in the lake on the hydrofoil board and stood on the shore again.

"Exercise more when you have nothing to do, and don't stay in the lab all day!" Zhang Heping handed the hydrofoil board to his fifth son Zhang Long, touched the head of his youngest daughter Zhang Nuo who was using a long stick to trick fish in the water, and then left the lake with Mr. Hua.

Mr. Hua looked back at the people still gathered on the shore and said with a smile, "How come you have time to come back today?"

"I asked Heping Group to apply for a patent for the medicine that can extend lifespan to 100 years!" Zhang Heping smiled and said, "The laboratory on the top floor is also planning to recruit some assistants to follow up on the research of the medicine that can extend lifespan to 100 years." If Mr. Hua didn't know that Zhang Heping had already developed the medicine that can extend lifespan to 120 years, he wouldn't have been able to hear the hidden meaning in Zhang Heping's words.

Following up on the research of the 100-year lifespan potion means recruiting people to continue researching the eliminated 100-year lifespan potion, rather than the 120-year lifespan potion or other lifespan potions.

The word "smoke bomb" flashed through Mr. Hua's mind, and he couldn't help but wonder what impact Zhang Heping's actions would have.

"The utilization rate of BeiDou navigation satellites by Heping Aerospace Company is too low!" Zhang Heping continued, "When I come back this time, I will tell them how to use them commercially, so that they don't have to ask me for money when they upgrade their satellites in the future."

The Beidou navigation satellite is still being studied for military use. After hearing what Zhang Heping said, Mr. Hua remembered that Heping Aerospace Company is a joint venture and needs to make money to maintain its subsequent development!

After Mr. Hua figured out the key, he immediately said, "If you need our cooperation, just let me know."

"Mr. Hua, do you know what's going on in Shanghai? It's been two months, why haven't they sent a business investment team over yet?" Zhang Heping's tone seemed casual, but he was actually a little dissatisfied.

He has expressed to Shanghai many times that he is willing to invest in the wasteland in Pudong, Shanghai, but after so long, there is still no positive feedback.

Mr. Hua smiled and said, "It should be here soon."

Mr. Hua's words were vague and Zhang Heping did not ask any further questions, because when it came to business matters, Zhang Heping only controlled the general direction and Chen Shuting was in charge of arranging the specific matters.

In the following days, as Zhang Heping said, he had been communicating with the personnel of Heping Aerospace Company to divide the military, commercial resources, and commercial applications of Beidou navigation satellites.

In order to allow the Beidou navigation satellite business to enter the international market, the final discussion result was that Heping Smart Technology Company would lease satellite resources and develop the "Heping Navigation" software for sea, land and air navigation services.

At this point, the navigation threat that the Magnesium countrymen had previously imposed on the Peace Group’s long-distance trade in goods is gone!

Just when Zhang Heping was discussing the issue of communication satellite networking with people from Heping Aerospace Company, Grandpa Zhuang was hospitalized again.

This time, because Mr. Zhuang’s condition was serious and could not be transferred to Shenzhen by plane, Zhang Heping had to go to the capital in person.

Also, because Modou called yesterday to discuss investment matters, his concubine Chen Shuting couldn't leave.

Zhang Bei and Zhang Nan don't want to go to the capital because of their respective company's matters, while Zhang Long and Zhang Hu don't want to go to the capital because of their laboratory matters.

Therefore, only Tang Xin took the two kids, Zhang Nuo and Zhang Hao, and followed Zhang Heping to the capital.

My children have grown up and have their own ideas and pursuits. They will no longer follow me around like they used to.

Zhang Heping was quite open-minded about this, but his first wife Tang Xin felt a little melancholy along the way.

Capital, Harmony Hospital conference room.

"Including the 100-year-old medicine brought by Dr. Hu, we have conducted a total of 1355 drug clinical trials. The effect of delaying aging is obvious, and there are no deaths so far." The director of the dermatology department looked at the data on the projection screen and introduced:

"Among them, 35 cases did not receive nutritional supplements in the early stage. Not only did the test subjects lose all their hair and teeth, their skin became dull, and their weight also dropped significantly. Fortunately, they received nutritional supplements later and their bodies returned to normal."

"Another 1320 cases, under the guidance of Dr. Hu, all received nutritional supplements in the early stages. Although these drug test subjects also lost all their hair and teeth, their weight did not change abnormally, and their skin color was much better than before the drug test."

"In addition, among the 1355 elderly people who tried the drug, the women all resumed their menstruation and the men's sperm activity recovered..."

"In general, after using the 100-year life potion, the only two unavoidable side effects are hair loss and tooth loss!"

A doctor in a white coat nearby smiled and said, "In fact, for people over 90 years old, losing all their hair and teeth is not a big deal. It can be solved by wearing wigs and dentures."

"The key is that this 100-year life span potion can make their physical condition to years younger!"

An old man in gray at the head frowned and said, "I heard that after Mr. Zheng used this medicine, his hair and teeth stopped falling out. How come?"

The director of the dermatology department at Harmony Hospital said helplessly: "We are in clinical practice and don't know much about drug research. You can ask Teacher Zhang."

The other doctors in the conference room couldn't help but smile knowingly and secretly praised the doctor for kicking the ball well.

If Zhang Heping was really willing to reveal it, the old men at the top would not have come to the hospital to ask.

Boom boom boom!
Boom!
The door to the conference room was knocked and pushed open. A female nurse poked her head in and looked around, then shouted to the old man sitting next to her, "Dean, Teacher Zhang is here. Our deputy director asked me to come over and tell you if we can let our director go back first."

The director of Harmonious Hospital was about to ask the female nurse wearing a mask which department she was from, but unexpectedly the girl closed the door and ran away!
The conference room was full of leaders. The little nurse realized belatedly that she had interrupted the leaders' meeting. With her heart pounding, she immediately started to grease her feet.

The conference room was quiet for only a moment before a voice urged, "Which department is that nurse from? Go ask her!"

By the time a group of hospital leaders called their respective departments and rushed to the intensive care unit, Zhang Heping had already finished examining Mr. Zhuang and was checking the treatment plan given by the attending physician.

"This patient was sent here at 6 a.m. today. The preliminary diagnosis is left heart failure caused by myocarditis combined with pulmonary edema and renal failure..."

When the doctors heard the director of thoracic surgery describing the patient's condition, they all subconsciously glanced at their watches on their left hands. It was 13:05 p.m.

Then, these people thought of a problem. If Zhang Heping came from the south, he might have rushed here as soon as he received the news this morning, and he might not even have had lunch.

Left heart failure caused by myocarditis combined with pulmonary edema and renal failure is a critical and severe disease with multiple organ dysfunction, and many doctors present were unable to help.

So, I heard the director of Daoxiehe Hospital was dismissing people and appointing new ones, planning to set up an expert group on the spot to cooperate with Zhang Heping in treating patients.

While a group of doctors were busy, they didn't notice that there were a few people standing in the corner.

Ma Xiuzhen was holding her dozing grandson Zhang Hao, thinking about where to take her grandson, granddaughter, and daughter-in-law to eat later.

As for Old Lady Yang, Zhuang Lin and others nearby, Ma Xiuzhen had already comforted them when she came over in the morning.

The eldest daughter Zhang Zhaodi and the second daughter Zhang Pandi also came over to comfort her at noon before going to work.

After a while, Zhang Heping came out with a few doctors, then walked up to Old Lady Yang and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhuang was sent to the hospital in time. Director Lin, Doctor Xie, and Doctor Zhou's joint treatment plan is also fine."

Zhang Heping's words first affirmed the doctor's contribution to avoid embarrassment to the doctor and the family.

After all, Old Lady Yang and the others called Zhang Heping, which meant that they were questioning the ability of the doctors here.

Fortunately, they hired Zhang Heping. If they had hired another doctor, the doctors at Harmony Hospital would not be so easy to talk to.

After Zhang Heping comforted Mrs. Yang and her family members, he called his wife and children to go to the hospital cafeteria for a simple lunch and come back later.

When Old Lady Yang heard that Zhang Heping's family had not yet eaten, she hurriedly asked her son and granddaughter to go over and entertain them.

Ma Xiuzhen wanted to follow, but when she saw Old Lady Yang alone, she thought that Zhang Heping and the others would be back soon, so she stayed by her side and comforted Old Lady Yang. (End of this chapter)
