Break out of the courtyard

Chapter 804 Everyone is Coveting the Longevity Potion
Zhang Heping communicated with other doctors in the ward, arranged the subsequent treatment plan for Mr. Zhuang, and prepared to leave with doctor Hu Hui.

"Teacher Zhang, the 100-year-old medicine can improve the patient's heart and kidney function. Does this mean that the 100-year-old medicine can be used as a treatment for heart and kidney-related diseases in the future?"

"Teacher Zhang, when the Life 100 Potion starts mass production, how will it be priced? Can ordinary people afford it?"

"Teacher Zhang, after you gave Mr. Zhuang the 100-year life potion, he didn't suffer from the side effects of losing teeth and hair. Have you developed a 100-year life potion with no side effects?"

……

Zhang Heping had actually already answered some of the questions raised by these doctors at the meeting yesterday afternoon, so it is not a secret.

Then, Zhang Heping was seen walking out while answering the doctors' questions.

After getting downstairs, Zhang Heping chatted for a few more words with the director of Harmonious Hospital who had rushed over before getting in the car and leaving.

After saying goodbye to the president of Harmonious Hospital, the director of the dermatology department and others, Hu Hui went back to the dormitory to pack his luggage.

He had just wanted to remind Zhang Heping that an old man had privately asked the doctors for information about the 100-year life potion, but unexpectedly the doctors asked directly, and Zhang Heping gave the answer without any hesitation.

This made Hu Hui confused!

After receiving a call from her eldest grandson who was calling home from the hospital, Grandma Yang took her two sons and gifts to the north bank of Houhai Lake, wanting to thank Zhang Heping in person.

At the same time, Old Lady Yang still has many questions about Mr. Zhuang's current changes and wants to confirm with Zhang Heping.

However, when they arrived at Zhang's house, they could only look at Zhang Heping from a distance, and then nod and greet him in response to his gaze.

After Zhang Heping returned home, he was surrounded by a group of experts and professors.

At this time, they were gathered in the public lounge area on the second floor, asking Zhang Heping for details that they did not understand at the meeting yesterday afternoon.

These scholars were not as complicated as the politicians thought. In addition, Zhang Heping had a good image as a teacher, so they discussed it and came together to ask for advice.

Just as the questions asked by this group of people became more and more obscure, an old professor from Capital Medical University asked in a complicated tone:

"Teacher Zhang, I'm sorry to ask, since you disassembled the 100-year-long life potion for us in such detail, aren't you afraid that we might imitate it?"

"Your imitation will at most make me earn less money." Zhang Heping replied with a smile: "But do you think I need that little money?"

"Teacher Zhang is the richest man in Hong Kong Island, so he certainly doesn't need this little money!" A medical expert from Capital University said, "What's more, Mr. Zhang didn't charge any patent licensing fees for the drugs and medical device technologies he provided before, which benefited many domestic factories."

Zhang Heping waved his hand and said seriously, "I share this information with you because I hope you can train more talents to join our biological genetic research team."

"My energy is limited after all. I need you and those who come after me to work together to research a better longevity potion."

An old man from the Chinese Academy of Sciences asked, "Since Teacher Zhang said so, do you have any plans to set up a biological genetics laboratory in China?"

"I don't have one yet!" Zhang Heping shook his head slightly, and then changed the subject, "However, if the experts from the Peace Healthcare Research Institute are willing to return to China to set up relevant laboratories, Peace Investment Company will provide certain financial support based on their research projects."

The mainland experts and scholars in the Peace Healthcare Research Institute were sent to Hong Kong Island only after repeated reviews in the capital.

Listening to what Zhang Heping said at this time, I felt like I had to spend money to drive them back.

A person with complicated thoughts is still guessing the intention of Zhang Heping's words.

The simple professor followed up on this topic and asked about the progress of human genome mapping at the Peace University Health and Medical Research Institute.

As lunchtime approached, Zhang Heping suggested that they go to the Capital Hotel for lunch, but the Zhang family's meal had already been served. It would be inappropriate for this group of experts who had come here on a whim this morning to agree to go out for dinner at this time.

But Zhang Heping had no intention of keeping them for dinner at his home, and his intention to send them away was obvious.

After the outsiders left, Old Lady Yang, who had been waiting downstairs for most of the day, finally had the chance to talk to Zhang Heping.

Old Mrs. Yang first thanked him, and then asked why there were no side effects after Lao Zhuang used the 100-year longevity potion.

"Heping, I'm not doubting you, but many people have been asking this question over the past half month." Old Mrs. Yang added, worried that Zhang Heping would be unhappy.

Zhang Heping smiled indifferently, "The longevity potion used on Mr. Zhuang is the same as the one used on Mrs. Zheng before. It has few side effects, but it is not easy to mass produce."

Upon hearing that there really was a longevity potion with few side effects, Old Lady Yang breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.

But the next moment, Old Lady Yang hesitated, not knowing how to say the next words.

Seeing that Zhang Heping was silent, Zhou Xiaochun, the cousin's daughter, said, "Uncle, our station director asked me to ask you something."

"He asked, since you didn't attend the May 4th Youth Day Gala this time, could you accept an interview with us?"

During the May Fourth Movement, Zhang Heping happened to be visiting factories with poor performance along the coast, so he missed the singing program he had promised to perform at the May Fourth evening party.

Zhang Heping smiled and said, "It's fine to accept the interview, but I need to look at your station's interview questions first. I need to confirm in advance what I can and cannot say, so that both parties will not be unhappy."

"Thank you, uncle. I will convey your meaning to our director later." Zhou Xiaochun seemed very happy because this matter was told to her by their director himself.

If she can handle this well, it will definitely help her get a promotion in the future.

Nephew Chang Xing interrupted, "Uncle, when will the resource survey satellite in Shenzhen be launched into space?"

"I don't know. I haven't paid attention to this matter!" Zhang Heping said casually: "What did your brother say?"

Chang Xing said depressedly: "Chang Le said he wanted to keep it a secret and refused to tell me any news!"

Zhang Heping glanced at Old Lady Yang who was hesitant to speak, then turned to look at his eldest cousin Ma Lili and asked, "Where did Xiaopeng go? I didn't see him come back last night."

Zhou Xiaochun, the cousin's daughter, rushed to say, "He has been living in the telecommunications company's dormitory recently. He said that he has a lot of things to learn and won't be coming back to live there for the time being."

Telecommunications companies are now promoting 4G communication services, but Capital University of Posts and Telecommunications, where Zhou Xiaopeng studies, does not have any books on the subject, let alone courses.

Therefore, Zhou Xiaopeng, a recent graduate, can only learn again to keep up with the development of the company.

As the family chatted and laughed, lunch was over before they knew it.

Old Mrs. Yang didn't ask the questions that were stuck in her throat until she left.

Mr. Zhuang's appearance has now returned to that of a man in his 50s or 60s, but Mrs. Yang still looks like she is in her 80s. She wanted to ask Zhang Heping if he still had that longevity potion, but when she thought of the potion's miraculous effect of making people younger, she swallowed her unsatisfied question.

In addition, some former comrades-in-arms came to her and asked about their family’s relationship with Zhang Heping.

Those people expressed their purpose either directly or implicitly, and they also wanted to try the longevity potion that could make people younger.

Just now, after Old Lady Yang and her two sons arrived at Harmonious Hospital, they met the man who came to inquire about the longevity potion.

Zhang Heping had actually anticipated this situation.

But since Old Lady Yang didn't ask, he was too lazy to explain.

Old Mrs. Yang is a few years younger than Mr. Zhuang and Old Mrs. Zheng, so there is no need for her to use the 120-year longevity potion for the time being.

Just as he said, although the life span 120 potion has few side effects, it is not easy to mass produce.

Therefore, Zhang Heping did not have much stock on hand, and he did not want to waste time making this kind of medicine whose life-extending effect was not ideal.

Yes, he didn't take this medicine, which could theoretically extend one's life to about 120 years old, seriously.

Zhang Heping looked down on it, but those older people were jealous.

Many people used circuitous connections to inquire about the medicines used by Old Lady Zheng and Old Man Zhuang.

Didn't they hold back from trying the free 100-year longevity potion just to wait for a longevity potion with fewer side effects?

However, they overlooked one problem: how much should such a life-extending drug with such a good effect be sold for?

Can they afford it?

Or do they have a good relationship with the Zhang family?
Therefore, asking domestic bio-genetic experts to imitate Zhang Heping's longevity potion became their other option.

New York, Wall Street.

"In less than five months, I made 5 million magnesium yuan, but I think it's too little!" Tang Qiang leaned on the sofa with a modular smartphone in his hands, looking at the Japanese stock market on his phone while saying to his elder brother Tang Lie behind the big desk:

"Am I a little bit dizzy now?"

"Compared to the money I made in the past two years, the speed at which I make money now is indeed a bit slower!" Tang Lie said this, but in his heart he was calculating the profit from shorting Japanese stocks in recent months. 4.5 million magnesium yuan, which was 5000 million less than what his third brother made!
Tang Qiang asked casually, "Uncle hasn't made any move on Japanese stocks yet. Do you think he doesn't plan to acquire Japanese companies?"

Tang Lie put down the mouse, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said in a deep voice: "I heard that the Peace Group is going to invest 300 billion magnesium yuan in Shanghai, and many Hong Kong businessmen are following suit. Some people even asked Dad if he would follow suit."

"How can you make money faster in finance than in industry!" Tang Qiang said disapprovingly, "I really don't understand what my uncle and his friends are thinking. With their technology and financial resources, they can easily control the stock market of any country, but they don't take advantage of the situation!"

Tang Lie took a lighter and a cigarette, stood up and walked to the French window, frowned and looked into the distance and said: "If we really do what you want, Heping Group will have become the public enemy of the global financial market long ago!"

Tang Qiang said nonchalantly: "As long as the money is in hand, it doesn't matter if I become a global enemy!"

Tang Lie picked up the cigarette, took a deep breath, and then exhaled a large puff of turbid air. His tone became even deeper. "After all, the financial market is not as reassuring as the real economy. You never know when the market will plummet. You can't escape if you are stuck in it."

"If my uncle hadn't reminded us many times, we would have been like many other institutions in the US, with our funds stuck in Japanese stocks and unable to get out!"

"Why, you want to do physical business?" Tang Qiang said in surprise: "Don't be stupid in such a good falling market!"

Tang Lie looked into the distance and stopped talking. Of the 95 billion magnesium yuan he controlled, half were Tang family's public funds. Unlike Tang Qiang, the 91 billion magnesium yuan all belonged to Tang Qiang and he could use it at will.

"The Nikkei index has only fallen by 200 points!" Tang Qiang put down his phone, turned his head and glanced at his elder brother by the window, then reached out and picked up the red wine glass on the coffee table, shook the red wine in the glass, and said, "Do you really want to do physical business?"

"Yeah!" Tang Lie simply responded, but didn't say anything more about his thoughts.

"It's better to do a physical business, so that you don't get carried away and gamble all your money away!" Tang Qiang looked at the red wine in the glass, thought for a while, and then continued: "Call dad to discuss it, so that other people in the family won't have any objections to your switching to a physical business."

……

Zhang Heping stayed in the capital for three days. After his third daughter Zhang Nian decided to accept the job assignment to go to Shanghai to set up a stock exchange, he returned to Hong Kong Island with his wife, children and bodyguards.

Because no one responded to his call for a family reunion during the Spring Festival, father-in-law Tang Ming has been living in the villa of his second son Tang Yi recently.

After Tang Yi's family realized that they could not curry favor with Zhang Heping and Tang Ren, they dispersed.

Although Tang Laoer's children and grandchildren are not extremely wealthy, they do have some assets and have their own businesses in various Southeast Asian countries. There is no need for them to come to Hong Kong Island to be bootlickers.

As for Tang Laoer himself, because he was at home during the Spring Festival and most of his children and grandchildren were back home, he was infected with many foreign germs and was admitted to Heping Hospital again before the New Year.

Zhang Heping didn't want to pay any attention to his father-in-law Tang Ming. The old man grew up in a wealthy family. When he was young, he went up the mountain to hunt. He had to be carried up by sedan chair bearers, and a team of soldiers followed behind to help him reload his guns. He was a tyrant in his bones and had the final say.

But Zhang Heping has a stubborn temper. The more you go against him, the more he will go against you!
So, after Tang Ming moved to Tang Laoer's house next door, Zhang Heping no longer paid any attention to him.

However, mother-in-law Xu Jiefeng was easy to talk to. When she saw Zhang Heping and his group coming back, she quickly followed them to Zhang's house and asked them about what they had seen and heard along the way.

During dinner, Tang Xin went next door to call her father to come over for dinner, and the result was predictable.

The mother-in-law, Xu Jiefeng, had no choice but to take two nannies who were serving dishes and meals back to the second son's house next door to have dinner with her husband who was having a brain trouble.

"Dad, grandpa is over 80 years old. You don't have to follow him..." Zhang Bei wanted to say something to persuade him, but when he met his father's cold eyes with a frown, he subconsciously shut up.

Zhang Heping frowned and stared at his eldest son for a while, staring at him so hard that he dared not raise his head, and then he said in a cold voice: "Your grandfather wants me to take care of his second son's family. From his point of view, he is indeed not wrong!"

"Just like no matter what you guys do out there, even if you blow up the Governor's House, I will stand up for you!"

"But what kind of person is Tang Lao Er? What did he and his son do before? Do you need me to tell you again?"

"If you didn't think it was hard for your mom to be caught in the middle, do you think my hospital would admit that traitorous bastard Tang Lao Er?"

As soon as Tang Ren walked to the door of Zhang's villa, he heard Zhang Heping's speech. He didn't know whether to go in or not, but he was afraid of delaying the business if he didn't go in.

Looking at the villa of the second brother's family next door, his old father stood at the door at some point, and I wonder if he heard what Zhang Heping said just now.

"Alas!" Tang Ren sighed, turned around and went to his old father Tang Ming, ready to talk to this stubborn old man again...
