Break out of the courtyard

"Uncle Zhang! Aunt Ma! They're here to watch the experiment again!"

Secretary Chen came outside the laboratory and greeted Zhang Bing and Ma Xiuzhen with a smile.

Just as he was about to greet Tang Xin and Chen Shuting, Chen Shuting interrupted him and asked, "Secretary Chen, the Hong Kong government has approved Shouyuan Pharmacy as a health-care drug. When will the approval number for the domestic health-care drug come out?"

"If the higher-ups don't approve, I definitely won't let my husband make longevity potions for you here anymore!"

"What if someone reports my husband for making fake medicine? Where can we seek justice?"

Shouyuan 100 medicine is not intended for external sale, so no drug approval has been applied for, but relevant patents are available.

Shouyuan 120 medicine originally had a drug approval document. As the country is preparing to adjust the drug control system in the near future, all the drugs under the Heping Group have been named.

This behavior does not seem to target the 120-year lifespan potion, but even a fool can understand what some people are thinking.

Therefore, Heping Group applied for a health drug approval number for Shouyuan 120 medicine to avoid exposing the relevant technology.

Just like its tiger penis wine, Viagra delay spray, Tingmei slimming tea, and Taitai oral liquid, the effects are as obvious as advertised, so you can buy them if you want.

"Approved! Approved!" Secretary Chen said with a smile. "I just received a call from Elder Hua in the capital. He has obtained the approval for the health supplement. I came here to report this to Advisor Zhang!"

After hearing this answer, Chen Shuting's expression eased.

Tang Xin tried to smooth things over, saying, "Secretary Chen, don't blame us for being blunt. The Shouyuan Potion has been provided free of charge to the domestic market for a long time, and my husband has even publicly explained why he didn't disclose the technology related to the Shouyuan 120 Potion."

"It's hard for us to judge whether those masters suddenly acted like this out of selfish motives or to help foreigners obtain the 120-year lifespan potion technology."

These sarcastic remarks made Secretary Chen feel a little embarrassed.

Those troubles weren't what he wanted to encounter, but Tang Xin and Chen Shuting wanted to express their dissatisfaction to their superiors through him, so he couldn't ignore them and ultimately had to give Hua Lao a truthful report.

Whether Hua Lao will relay this message in the capital depends on the actual situation.

Zhang Nian laughed aside and said, "Uncle Chen, have you noticed that after Hong Kong Peace Hospital stopped selling the 120-year-old medicine, those foreign investors stopped clamoring to exchange for RMB?"

"Haha!" Secretary Chen adjusted his glasses awkwardly, obviously feeling a little embarrassed by the words of the junior Zhang Nian.

The key point is that this incident was not caused by him. He felt helpless and speechless!
Fortunately, Zhang Heping came out of the laboratory at this time, giving Secretary Chen a break.

Zhang Heping was quite polite to Secretary Chen, after all, he wasn't as close to him as Director Wang or Elder Hua.

Secretary Chen told Zhang Heping about Shouyuan Pharmacy's health product approval, and then mentioned the renovation progress of the adjacent production building. "Consultant Zhang, do you think we can install the production equipment once this is finished?"

Zhang Heping waved to his family, signaling them to go downstairs together, and then responded, "Just ask them to follow the requirements on the drawings. I'll go over and inspect it when it's done."

"Okay, I'll go and urge them to finish the renovation as soon as possible, and then prepare to install the equipment!" Secretary Chen felt relieved. He and Elder Hua were both worried that Zhang Heping might abandon the Shouyuan 120 drug production line because of the drug control issue.

If that were to happen, not only would Elder Hua's previously planned pyramid-structure mass production of the Lifespan 120 potion fall through, but the Zhang family might also go to two extremes because of their exclusive control over the Lifespan potion. After parting ways with the Zhang family downstairs, Secretary Chen went to the nine-story production building next door, which had been newly built according to Zhang Heping's requirements.

The Zhang family walked back to the villa area, only to find that the economics experts and professors were blocking the door again.

When Zhang Heping was listening to several experts outside the door talking about today's Eagle Pound sniper battle, he unexpectedly discovered that his third daughter Zhang Nian was chatting happily with several young men and women, who seemed to be classmates.

After listening to everyone for a while, Zhang Heping found that everyone's opinions were still superficial. In order to rest early, he raised a few questions and let these experts and professors rack their brains.

"Everyone, I've said before that this is a financial war launched against European currencies by Magnesium Capital and other speculative capital!"

"I have a few questions. Is the Quantum Fund, the main force behind the Eagle Pound attack you mentioned, really Magnesium Capital? Where is it registered? Who are the board members? Who are its major investors? Why didn't the European central banks discover its capital deployment in advance?"

As soon as the problem arose, Zhang Heping dispersed this group of economic theory researchers.

In Zhang Heping's view, theory is only a summary and conclusion of past experiences and phenomena, and is only suitable as a basis for decision makers. It may be used in real business wars, but it is not very useful.

After a group of economics experts and professors returned to the Peace Hotel across the street, they mobilized their respective connections to try to find out information about the Quantum Fund.

Even the financial circles in Magnesium are surprised by the performance of Quantum Fund, but uncovering the truth about Quantum Fund is not something that can be done overnight.

With the help of a group of overseas students and Chinese from the United States, Zhang Heping received an answer the next afternoon.

Quantum Fund is registered in Curacao, a tax haven in the Caribbean. Its investors cannot be traced, and the flow of funds cannot be checked.

Apart from this, the only connection they found between Quantum Fund and Magnesium was that Quantum Fund hired a company called "Soda Fund Management Company" registered in New York, Magnesium, as their "investment consultant."

With this kind of outsourcing-like cooperation mode, even the government of Magnesium cannot check the operation of Quantum Fund, let alone the domestic economics experts and professors.

However, when they returned the question to Zhang Heping and waited modestly for his answer, Zhang Heping raised a new question:
Who benefits most from European currency problems?
Following the Japanese yen, if other Asian currencies also encounter similar financial problems, who will benefit the most?
Zhang Heping did not explain to these people that Suo Dayu was just a pawn and what consortiums, families, bankers were behind him.

Are these important?
From a consequence perspective, it doesn't really matter.

What these economics experts and professors want is just a safe and controllable financial mechanism.

Zhang Heping has already given a lot of suggestions on this, but due to the limitations of current concepts, some people oppose it.

Today, Europe's fixed exchange rate mechanism has run into problems, and the British pound has proven that relying solely on foreign exchange reserves to maintain the exchange rate is not feasible.

However, even though the negative case is so obvious, some people still insist on a single magnesium-dollar exchange rate, wanting to reduce the exchange rate from 1 magnesium dollar to 5.5 RMB to 1 magnesium dollar to 8.6 RMB, under the pretext of promoting export trade.

Some people even publicly pointed out that Zhang Heping disagreed with the single exchange rate system because he was afraid that the magnesium dollar invested by the Heping Group in the mainland would depreciate too much and could not keep up with the speed at which he could make money!

This is also why the Space-Based Computing Center can finally step back and not get involved anymore. Zhang Heping has been leaving early and returning late lately, not wanting to deal with those opponents. (End of Chapter)
