Break out of the courtyard

The Magnesium Embassy in Hong Kong, Central, Hong Kong Island.

"The latest information is that the Patent Department of Peace Group has submitted 36 compound product patents and 72 compound preparation method patents to the mainland patent office. Currently, there is no patent application for Shouyuan 100 pharmaceutical products."

As the Deputy Director of the Special Intelligence Bureau, William, finished his words, the Chinese people in the conference room suddenly became excited and started discussing in twos and threes.

"The Peace Group wants to rely on multiple compound patents to protect the core preparation technology of the Life 100 drug!" The representative of the Rockefeller family said very confidently:

"These methods are useless in our laboratory. The exposed compounds will instead speed up our bio-genetic experts to reverse engineer the 100-year life potion."

"Don't be too happy!" The DuPont family representative said calmly, "The Secret Service may not be able to obtain the technical information of those compounds."

Representatives from other families interrupted and said, "The Heping Group's patent team only applied for a trademark patent for the Shouyuan 100 drug in other small countries, and did not leak any technology at all!"

A fair-skinned old man in a white shirt and black jacket frowned and said seriously, "I suspect that the Peace Group does not really want to apply for a patent for the 100-year-old medicine, but wants to use the influence of this incident to increase the popularity of the 100-year-old medicine and achieve an advertising effect!"

The representative of the Morgan family chuckled and said, "Whether they really want to apply for a patent for the 100-year life potion or not, one thing is certain now: the Peace Group will definitely not submit an application to our Magnesium Patent Office!"

An old man with a white beard and a flowered shirt said, "I don't need their patented technology. I just want a potion that can extend my lifespan to 100 years without any side effects and can make me younger!"

The representative of the Astor family looked at the deputy director of the Special Intelligence Bureau and asked, "How is the progress of the Peace Great Health Medical Research Institute's top floor laboratory recruiting assistants? Who has been selected?"

……

After the Magnesium countrymen learned about the patent application operation of the Patent Department of the Peace Group, agents from countries such as Japan, Eagle, and Defa also received the news and passed it back to their respective countries.

Patent applications are generally slow, especially for drugs involving biological genes, as many countries do not have the means to verify the authenticity of the technology.

Doing so will only make the patent application take longer, which is inconsistent with the original intention of Peace Group to apply for a patent in an apparent hurry!
What if during the patent application period, the guys in Magnesium reverse-engineered the 100-year life potion and turned the tables on the Heping Group?
Therefore, the Patent Department of Peace Group chose to apply for patents for related compounds first, thereby speeding up the application process of related patents.

Many people can understand this operation, but the fact that Heping Group did not apply for a patent for the core technology of the Life 100 potion still disappointed many people who were paying attention to this matter.

However, there is another idea at the Peace Healthcare Research Institute. Zhang Heping's top-floor laboratory is recruiting assistants to conduct research on the improvement of the Shouyuan 100 drug.

The intelligence departments of various countries are now very conflicted. They know that the Peace Group has the 100-year-old potion, which is the hen that lays golden eggs. However, due to the number of assistants available at the Peace Healthcare Research Institute, they cannot take any drastic actions for the time being, so as not to affect the experts and scholars sent by their respective countries to the medical research institute to become assistants.

So, after Zhang Heping finished the meeting in the capital, the first thing he did when he returned to Hong Kong was to select assistants for his laboratory.

A total of 6 people were selected, including 3 young students sent from the mainland to study, 2 North Soviet experts who spoke Chinese well, and 1 young student from Xindao.

Zhang Heping did not recruit all mainlanders as assistants, which made foreigners who were paying attention to this matter feel relieved. They felt that there was finally a loophole to be exploited in the top-floor laboratory of the Peace University of Healthcare and Medical Research Institute.

What is a pity for outsiders is that after Zhang Heping recruited these six assistants, he directly gave them some 6-year life potion for daily cell culture. He did not teach them how to synthesize the 100-year life potion, nor did he introduce the mechanism of action of the 100-year life potion to them.

In fact, if you think about it, it is impossible to teach them how to synthesize the 100-year life potion. Not to mention the identities of the six assistants, just the huge profits represented by the 6-year life potion are something that Zhang Heping should not give up easily.

Otherwise, it would seem too strange!
Zhang Heping had cleared out all the past research materials in the laboratory on the top floor of the Peace Healthcare Research Institute, so there was no need to worry about previous research being leaked, and he could let the six assistants do whatever they wanted in there.

Zhang Heping's rooftop laboratory hired an assistant, and started research on improving the Shouyuan 100 medicine. So the production of the Hong Kong Island Pharmaceutical Factory would have to be postponed. After all, Zhang Heping was preparing to produce high-quality drugs with fewer side effects!

Also, because the Hong Kong Island Pharmaceutical Factory experienced a major layoff, there are only 1 administrator, 1 finance, and 1 warehouse manager left in the factory, which means it is on the verge of disbanding at any time.

If the production workshop of Hong Kong Island Pharmaceutical Factory had not been converted to a fully automatic production line, the only three remaining employees would probably have jumped ship long ago.

As various similar equipment in the laboratory on the top floor of the Peace Healthcare Research Institute has been sold overseas recently, the extremely tempting bait of the 100-year life potion has been bitten to death in the mouth of the magnesium countrymen and will not let go!
It is said that ever since Zhang Heping stopped the external trial use of the 100 Years of Longevity potion, the remaining 100 Years of Longevity potion on the market has become a hot commodity among the elderly, with the black market price once reaching 1 million magnesium yuan per bottle of 1 Years of Longevity potion.

After the news of this price spread to the mainland, many old men and women who had previously shamelessly stayed at Shenzhen Peace College began to hesitate, wondering whether Zhang Heping would still give them the 100-year life potion.

At the same time, they also felt a little regretful about why they did not participate in the drug trial at Harmonious Hospital.

~
Zhang Heping, who exclusively controls the longevity potion, recently took his wife, children and bodyguards to visit Shanghai. After finalizing the real estate project in Pudong, he took his family and bodyguards northward along the coastal cities, stopping along the way to Shenyang in the northeast.

During their trip, Zhang Heping and Chen Shuting visited many coastal factories and asked them whether they were willing to be acquired.

Although Zhang Heping has not successfully acquired any factory on this trip, their itinerary has been controlled by the city ahead.

Therefore, when the convoy carrying Zhang Heping and his companions just arrived in Shencheng, they were greeted by six white three-wheeled motorcycle police cars leading the way.

After a year and a half of construction, the Heping Automobile Branch in the Shenyang Economic and Technological Development Zone, as well as the supporting engine, gearbox, motor and other parts production plants, have begun production and signed a number of export orders.

Zhang Heping came over and, in addition to taking a look at the construction status of the Heping Automobile Branch, he also mentioned the idea of ​​Heping Group investing in factories in the mainland and the business ecosystem that Heping Group was going to build.

He went all the way north from Shanghai, announcing with such fanfare that he would invest in factories in the coastal areas of the inland areas. In fact, he was entrusted by someone at the last meeting to promote the shareholding of those factories.

Of course, he also had his own plan, which was to spend money!

If it had happened a few years ago, Zhang Heping would not have bothered with those coastal factories.

But now it is the 90s, and we can appropriately acquire some mainland factories and develop the domestic market.

After leaving Shencheng, Zhang Heping returned to the capital with his family.

Due to the existing funding and social issues, Zhang Heping did not gain any substantial results on this trip, but after sowing the seeds, there is hope for the future.

"Dad?" Zhang Nian was stunned for a moment when he saw Zhang Heping on the Capital University campus, and then he ran excitedly towards his family standing under the shade of the tree, "Mom! Little Mom! Big Brother, Second Sister, why are you here!"

"Third sister, there are also me and fourth sister!" Zhang Nuo was dissatisfied that she was left out, and hurriedly stood up to show his presence.

"Sister!" Two-and-a-half-year-old Zhang Hao came forward and hugged the third sister Zhang Nian's calf. Zhang Heping looked at the three roommates who followed Zhang Nian, nodded to them, and then smiled and said, "I have a meeting at your school this afternoon, and I'll try to see if the food at your school has improved."

"The meeting this afternoon?" Zhang Nian held his eighth brother in his arms, thought for a moment, and said, "Is it the genetic science research meeting in the lecture hall?"

Zhang Heping smiled and nodded. His second daughter, Zhang Nan, asked his third sister, "Xiao Nian, you should have received your diploma. When do you plan to leave school?"

Zhang Nian frowned slightly, "I had already packed my luggage, but the school suddenly assigned a job to the four of us and asked us to go to the office of the preparatory group of the Magic City Stock Exchange."

Facing the inquiring gaze of his third daughter Zhang Nian, Zhang Heping smiled and said, "You decide for yourself. If you want to go, you can stay at the Magic City Peace Hotel."

Chen Shuting comforted him, "There are industries invested by our family in Pudong, the Magic City. If you go there, don't worry about others giving you trouble."

"Hehe!" After Zhang Nian put his fidgeting eighth brother down, he took Chen Shuting's arm and said with a smile, "I was wondering before whether the Magic City Stock Exchange Preparatory Committee was interested in the financial trading system designed by my father."

"I just realized it now because you invested in Pudong, the Magic City."

In between conversations, Zhang Nian stretched out his other hand, held his biological mother Tang Xin's arm, and walked towards the cafeteria with his family, talking and laughing.

The afternoon meeting was said to be about discussing the future development of genetic science, but in fact some people could not sit still and organized a group of biological genetic experts to try to get more information about the 100-year life potion from Zhang Heping.

This kind of meeting is actually very easy to deal with, because it only stays on verbal grounds and does not require complex and lengthy experimental proofs. In addition, Zhang Heping is also willing to throw out more details about the 100-year life potion so that the European and American people can reverse-engineer the 100-year life potion as soon as possible.

As for whether the content of the meeting will be passed on to the Taiwanese, young people, haha!
"Teacher Zhang, according to what you just said, the mechanism of action of the Lifespan 100 drug is to rely on critical carcinogenic factors to activate telomerase activity, thereby extending the length of the telomeres at the ends of chromosomes."

A lady in her seventies wearing a white shirt and grey trousers held the microphone and asked Zhang Heping, who was sitting in the middle of the podium: "Excuse me, does this drug have any risk of causing cancer? What is the probability of causing cancer?"

"There is a risk of cancer!" Zhang Heping said with a smile, "This side effect is clearly stated in the instructions for use of the Life 100 potion."

"For normal people without cancer cells in their bodies, the chance of cancer is zero."

"For someone who has cancer cells in their body, it is meaningless to talk about the chance of cancer."

"However, from previous drug trial cases, we can see that after 382 cancer patients were injected with the Shouyuan 100 drug, their tumors did not grow larger and the cancer cells did not spread."

"Teacher Zhang, how did you discover the cancer factor? And how did you find its critical point?"

"Teacher Zhang, how long can the Lifespan 100 potion extend the length of telomeres? How many times can it increase cell divisions?"

……

Genetics is still an emerging discipline in China, and most people at the conference are not experts majoring in genetics.

Therefore, the participants had many questions to be answered.

Zhang Heping was very patient and never refused any questions. Even those related to the core catalytic enzyme in the preparation of the Lifespan 100 potion were introduced by him.

Even so, it would be very difficult for the people in the venue to copy and produce the 100-year longevity potion.

Without experiencing thousands of failures, you can't expect to achieve the same low side effects as the potion that prolongs your life to 100 years.

However, there are always people who don't believe in evil.

After Zhang Heping left Capital University with his family and returned to his home on the north bank of Houhai Lake, someone organized research overnight to prepare a potion that could extend his lifespan to 100 years!

In their opinion, with the compound technical information submitted by the Patent Department of Peace Group, they will definitely be able to reverse engineer the 100-year life potion earlier than the magnesium guys.

As for asking Zhang Heping for the formula and preparation method of the potion that can extend life to 100 years, it seems unlikely.

Because the effect of this product is so obvious and so good, and it is obviously a best-seller at first glance, the Peace Group would not disclose it to the public in order to maximize profits.

The reason why some people have such thoughts is that they judge others by their own experience. They think that they have mastered this drug that can delay aging, and they can exchange it for a lot of benefits and gain a lot of capital for themselves to be promoted...

When Ma Xiuzhen saw her third son and his family coming back, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

It was not until her grandson Zhang Hao fell asleep in her arms that she remembered something, "Son, can your uncle Zhuang be discharged from the hospital?"

"Mom, why are you asking this?" Zhang Heping, who was flipping through the newspaper, looked at his mother Ma Xiuzhen in confusion. He didn't know what she was worried about. None of Mr. Zhuang's family members asked him.

Ma Xiuzhen sat down next to Zhang Heping and said in a low voice, "Your grandmother Yang said that after Mr. Zhuang's appearance became younger, he had many more checkups every day. She felt that there was something wrong."

The fact that Old Lady Yang did not call Zhang Heping shows that this incident did not affect Mr. Zhuang's health.

However, when Old Lady Yang told Ma Xiuzhen about this, the meaning of the matter became a little obscure. It is hard to say whether there are other influencing factors!

Many thoughts flashed through Zhang Heping's mind, and he finally replied to his mother, "I will go to Xiehe Hospital tomorrow morning. If Mr. Zhuang recovers, I will suggest that they be discharged from the hospital!"

The next morning, Zhang Heping appeared in Uncle Zhuang's ward again after a month.

It was shift change time, and many medical staff came over after hearing the news, but everyone restrained themselves and only allowed the chief and deputy chief doctors to enter the ward, while the other doctors stood outside the ward and eavesdropped.

"The inflammation has not healed completely yet. The dressing needs to be changed and the patient needs to be observed for another week." Zhang Heping first said this to Zhuang Yong, the eldest grandson of the Zhuang family who was on night watch, meaning that he should tell his grandmother that he could not be discharged from the hospital for the time being.

Then, Zhang Heping looked at the somewhat excited doctor Hu Hui and said with a smile: "I just told you to pack your bags and go back to Shenzhen. Why are you still standing here?"

Returning to Shenzhen means that Hu Hui's job with a monthly salary of over ten thousand yuan will be saved. How can he not be excited!
"Haha!" Hu Hui smiled back and looked at the doctors next to him, as if he had something to say that was not convenient to say in front of them... (End of this chapter)
