Chapter 822: Visit with confidence
After Tang Qiang finished his work at the company, he waited until his elder brother Tang Lie and his family returned from Magnesium before going to Shenzhen together on Sunday morning.

The two brothers originally planned to go to Shenzhen to celebrate Zhang Heping's birthday two days later, that is, on New Year's Day.

However, when they heard that guests staying at the Shenzhen Peace Hotel could visit the Peace College opposite in the next few days, they became interested.

Ever since Zhang Heping handed over the top-floor laboratory of the Hong Kong Peace Healthcare Research Institute to his assistant, the two brothers had no idea about the progress of Zhang Heping's research and development of the longevity medicine.

Therefore, the brothers Tang Lie and Tang Qiang wanted to take this opportunity to go to the biological genetic laboratory building in Shenzhen Peace College to learn about the so-called space experiment and the progress of the longevity medicine research and development.

"Brother!" Tang Qiang looked at the security check room at Luohu Port and frowned and asked, "You know that my uncle will not meet these guys from the United States, so why bring them here?"

Tang Lie said helplessly: "If Datang Communications wants to develop in Magnesium Country, it can't refuse these crap."

"So, I can only take these guys to my uncle's place and let him reject the matter. I believe my uncle will not blame me for doing this."

Tang Qiang looked at the man from Magnesium who was still being questioned in the security check room, and asked his eldest son to go over and ask about the situation. Then he continued to talk to his eldest brother:

"The establishment of stock exchanges in Shanghai and Shenzhen shows that the mainland has recognized the capital market. Do you think it is necessary for us to diversify our investments in the mainland?"

Tang Lie seemed to relax a little when he saw that the man from Magnesium had not passed the security check. "I plan to go to Pudong, the Magic City, after my uncle's birthday party."

"I heard that my uncle promised the Magic City that he would invest another 200 billion magnesium dollars in the Magic City after the Magic City Stock Exchange is established!"

"That's true!" Tang Qiang nodded and said, "Before going to Shanghai, you can go to Haicheng first. The housing prices there are ridiculously high. I think the mainland will soon limit the high housing prices in Haicheng!"

Tang Lie responded, "It's good to go and take a look. Based on the restrictive policies of Haicheng, we can help you decide whether to invest in real estate in Pudong, the Magic City."

Tang Qiang continued, "My uncle is very confident about the mainland. I heard that he invited representatives of investment promotion groups from various provinces to attend his birthday party. I believe this will promote Hong Kong businessmen to invest in various provinces in the mainland."

Tang Lie saw those guys from the United States exiting the security check room and being sent to the Hong Kong Island security checkpoint opposite by the border guards, so he chased after them.

Although Tang Lie didn't want to bring these Chinese people to Zhang Heping's birthday party, he still had to do some face-saving work.

For example, now, Tang Lie pretended to go over and ask about the situation. After learning that these guys from China did not pass the immigration security check, he consoled them and said that they would try again next time if they had the chance.

Just like that, the two brothers Tang Lie and Tang Qiang left those guys behind, walked through the Luohu Port with their families without looking back, and took a car directly to the Peace Hotel in Shenzhen.

On a bus from Huadu to Shenzhen, the Aso couple were leaning against the window, looking at the fields and mountain scenery on one side of the highway.

"Da Lang, why do you think Mr. Zhang wants to invest tens of billions of dollars to build a highway on the mainland?" Mrs. Aso seemed tired of the scenery. She turned her eyes to the inside of the bus and asked in a low voice in Japanese:
"The return ratio is too low, which is not like his investment style in Japan."

The Japanese couple also went to Luohu Port the day before yesterday. Like the Chinese, they were denied entry by the security checkpoint staff. They were only given an excuse that there was a problem with their passports and were sent back to the checkpoint on the Hong Kong Island side.

To this end, the Aso couple had to fly to Huadu first and prepare to take a bus to Shenzhen.

What they didn't expect was that tickets at Huadu's bus station, train station and ferry also required ID cards or passports, and foreigners' passports still could not buy tickets to Shenzhen!
Finally, the Aso couple, with their standard Mandarin, stopped a bus bound for Shenzhen outside the station, and finally broke through all the obstacles and got on the highway from Huadu to Shenzhen.

Aso Dalang, who was sitting by the window, was silent for a while, then suddenly pointed to a large outdoor billboard on the mountain in front of him and said, "If you want to get rich, build roads first!"

Yuriko Aso went to the window and looked at the billboard.

There was a small urban pattern on both ends of the billboard, and connecting the two urban areas was a six-lane road filled with various motor vehicles such as cars, SUVs, and trucks.

Looking at the big bus they were riding in and the three-lane highway on the right, Aso Yuriko seemed to suddenly understand why Zhang Heping built highways on the mainland.

The Aso couple silently looked at the outdoor advertisements that appeared from time to time on the roadside, and then the bus drove out of the highway.

Then, a strange music sounded outside the car, and someone inside the car started singing along.

"My motherland and I cannot be separated for a moment."

“Wherever I go, I leave a song of praise.”

……

Aso Taro opened the window as wide as possible, stuck his head out and saw that the bus they were riding was traveling on a red, green, yellow and blue road.

Looking closely at the road, I discovered that there are many horizontal grooves on the road surface. I guess this is the source of the music outside the car.

While Taro Aso was looking outside the car, Yuriko Aso looked at the male passenger next to the aisle and asked what was going on with the music outside the car.

"From your accent, I know you are from another place." The male passenger next to her looked at the ordinary-looking woman and said with a smile:
"This road is called the Music Highway. It was designed by Zhang, the richest man who invested in building this highway. I heard that the song "My Motherland and I" was also composed by him."

When they heard that it was Zhang Heping who did it, the Aso couple didn't find it strange at all.

However, when they looked back at the red, green, yellow and blue highway that was disappearing into the distance, they felt somewhat complicated, because Zhang Heping was not from Japan.

The Aso couple rushed to the Shenzhen Peace Hotel and underwent a security check. After being let into the hotel lobby, they wanted to book a room first and then go to Zhang Heping to see if they could send Japanese experts and students to the Shenzhen Peace College for exchanges and studies.

As a result, like most uninvited guests, they didn't even get past the front desk of the Peace Hotel because they didn't have an invitation.

Fortunately, they have Zhang Heping’s cell phone number!
Not long after Mrs. Aso made a phone call to Zhang Heping, a bodyguard captain came over and took them to check in.

Zhang Heping asked the Aso couple to attend the meeting in order to let them know about the preferential policies of the investment promotion groups in various provinces of the mainland, so as to facilitate the transfer of production links to the mainland after the Heping Group acquires the Japanese listed company.

At noon that day, when the Aso couple was having lunch in the restaurant on the second floor of the hotel, they heard many people discussing what they had seen and heard at the Shenzhen Peace College.

The Aso couple inquired separately and learned that guests staying at the Peace Hotel could take a sightseeing bus from the hotel and follow a special tour guide to visit the Peace College opposite.

This piece of news alone made the Aso couple extremely happy, and they secretly thought that it was worth their journey all the way from the mainland capital to Huadu to get here.

That afternoon, the Aso couple, with smiles on their faces, followed others onto the sightseeing bus and entered the Shenzhen Peace College, which they had been eyeing for a long time.

Teaching building, library, playground, gymnasium, canteen...

A group of visitors wearing red hats, led by a special tour guide, visited one place after another, and even took them to see the 3D printer in the electromechanical laboratory building. However, the biological gene laboratory building that the Aso couple had been longing for had not yet appeared.

If the tour guide's route and tour items were not repeated, the Aso couple would have been unable to help but ask.

~
Shenzhen Peace College, top floor of the Biological Genetic Laboratory Building.

"Uncle, the Magnesium country reports your space capsule experiment every now and then, saying that you are developing biological and chemical weapons in space, which will endanger all mankind."

"Those guys from the Magnesium Country are clamoring to send people into your space capsule every day to supervise your experiments!"

"I wonder if those guys from the Magnesium Kingdom will still dare to send people into your space capsule to supervise after they learn that the experiment you are doing is really dangerous!"

When the Aso couple followed the tour group and quietly came to the top floor, they happened to hear Tang Lie talking to Zhang Heping.

Unfortunately, Zhang Heping in the glass partition did not respond and continued to stare at the monitor.

But the khaki cloth gloves on his hands made people want to explore their function.

The special tour guide walked to the wall, pressed a button, and then said to the people who had been waiting by the glass partition: "Excuse me, I'll turn off the call first and explain the situation here to them."

Seeing President He and the biology and genetic experts walking inside, Tang Lie and his third brother Tang Qiang followed them and made room for the visitors.

"As everyone knows, our Peace Space launched a space capsule into Earth orbit at the end of October this year." The special tour guide pointed to the large screen in the remote control center and said in a slightly excited tone:

"Many foreign media outlets said that our space capsule was a discarded oil drum with leaks all over the place and had nothing to do with the space station."

"We didn't argue because the Shouyuan Space Capsule No. 1 has nothing to do with our Tiangong Space Station project. It is just a space laboratory used by Advisor Zhang to study biological genes."

"As for whether the No. 1 Shouyuan space capsule is a discarded oil drum with air leaking everywhere, you can go forward and take a look at the picture on this big screen. This is the real-time picture of the inside and outside of the space capsule."

On the big screen in the space capsule remote control center, the Narita grid was divided into four pictures, belonging to two cameras inside the space capsule and two cameras outside the capsule.

On the screen inside the cabin, there were two spherical machines with two mechanical arms extended. They adjusted their flying direction by relying on the blue light that occasionally lit up on the spheres. But no one knew what they were going to do.

In addition, there is a pair of robotic arms fixed to the cabin walls on the upper, lower, left and right sides, busy as if they are conducting experiments.

The picture outside the cabin was very monotonous. Except for the part of the space capsule covered by the camera, the rest of the area was black.

The special tour guide let the visitors look around for a while, and after satisfying their curiosity, he asked them to go downstairs without allowing them to ask any questions.

When leaving, the special tour guide did not forget to walk to the wall and turn on the call switch.

Chairman He, Chairman Guo and others came back.

Without Tang Lie, Tang Qiang and others interrupting, the biological and genetic experts who came up with questions began to ask professional questions to Zhang Heping behind the glass partition.

Faced with these questions, Zhang Heping would respond, but most of the time, he would ask the assistants in the control center to answer them. He only answered questions that were really difficult.

Although Chairman He, Chairman Guo and several other veteran Hong Kong businessmen did not understand those professional questions, when they thought about the longevity potion that would make them younger, they stood quietly by, as if they were also accompanying the research.

Fortunately, Zhang Heping did not leave work as late as usual for the sake of his old friend.

So, after assigning some follow-up experiments to his assistant, Zhang Heping left the remote control center and went downstairs with President He and others.

After everyone left the biological gene laboratory building, Zhong Xinrong couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Zhang, you put all your life-extending potions into space for research and development. Aren't you going to sell the 100-year life-extending potion to the public?"

"It would be nice to sell some to the outside world and get some of the R&D funds back!"

Zhang Heping walked slowly in front and smiled to the people beside him: "It's OK to sell it, but the side effects are too great, and I don't want to ruin my reputation."

"Uncle, if you don't sell it, the guys in Magnesium will sell generic drugs of the 100-year-old medicine!" The eldest nephew Tang Lie, who was following behind, said in a deep voice:

"The U.S. government has restricted U.S. citizens from accessing the World Internet Forum, so many news reports about U.S. genetic laboratories testing drugs on prisoners and lonely elderly people have not spread abroad."

"According to recent news, a laboratory on the west coast of Magnesium has cracked the method of using the Life 100 drug to activate telomerase activity, and they may have begun secretly conducting human drug trials!"

When Zhang Heping heard the news, he couldn't help but sneer: "This is what the Magnesium people mean by freedom every day!"

"I won't buy medicine from a Chinese guy anyway!" Chairman Guo, who had rectal cancer treated by Zhang Heping with a proton knife, said with a smile: "When it comes to medical treatment, I only trust Mr. Zhang!"

The head of China Resources interrupted, "From what I heard from the biology and genetics experts just now, it seems that the questions they asked are all related to the 100-year life potion."

"Mr. Zhang, are you going to make the formula of this medicine public, or are you planning to have a domestic pharmaceutical company produce this medicine?"

Zhang Heping put his hands behind his back and replied with a smile: "Is there a possibility? I have taught them, and in the future I only need to call them to arrange R&D work, and I don't have to spend every day here!"

Hearing this answer, everyone suddenly realized.

Zhong Xinrong nodded and said, "In terms of confidentiality level, Shenzhen City has done the best job in confidentiality."

"We have been selling products such as Tiger Whip Wine, Mrs. Oral Liquid, and Dior Daily Chemicals for so many years, and we have never heard of any related leaks."

"Unlike the Hong Kong Pharmaceutical Factory, where a traitor actually stole the original liquid of the Life 100 potion and sold it to the people of Magnesium!"

Listen to the tone of the words. Zhang Heping guessed that the reason why Mr. Rong said this was because he listened to someone and suggested that the 100-year life potion be produced domestically, but he just didn't say it explicitly.

Since he didn't make his words clear, Zhang Heping was naturally happy to be confused and invited everyone to his house for dinner.

The charter king asked, "Mr. Zhang, I see that the housing prices in Japan's eastern capital have dropped a lot. Aren't you afraid that the Japanese stock market will also fall?"
