Break out of the courtyard

Chapter 926: 1993 Reunion in Shenzhen
When the Heping Group’s longevity potion and regeneration repair fluid benefits were announced, not only the employees of the Heping Group were excited, but outsiders were also very excited.

The main reason is that the Heping Group has not yet explained internally who Zhang Heping is "immediate relatives", which makes outsiders think that they have an opportunity to take advantage of.

It was not until two days later that the Peace Group issued the official document No. 001 internally, which focused on explaining the conditions and restrictions for applying for drug trials.

First, it is clearly stated that employees of the group and its holding companies who have been with the company for three years and have signed a second employment contract can apply for free trials of longevity medicine and regeneration and repair fluid for their parents, spouses, and children.

It is specifically stipulated that the spouses must have been married for at least three years or have children together; if the parents are adoptive parents, they must provide proof that they were raised by their adoptive parents for at least ten years before the age of 18; children who are not related by blood are not allowed to apply for the visa.

Once this regulation came out, it eliminated most of the outsiders' attempts to take advantage of loopholes.

Secondly, group employees and employees of subordinate holding companies who have been with the company for six years and have signed a third open-ended employment contract can apply for free trials of longevity potions and regeneration and repair fluids for their grandparents, grandparents-in-law, grandchildren, and grandchildren.

The definition of "blood relatives" is explained in bold and bold font here.

To put it simply, there must be a blood relationship, and second marriages are not allowed.

In addition, there is another key condition: controlling stake!
With Chen Shuting's rapid expansion in recent years, the number of holding companies, indirect holding companies, holding companies, subsidiaries in various places, and related factories under the Peace Group, scattered at home and abroad, has reached 376, and there is a trend of substantial increase!
Therefore, the Heping Group's red-headed document No. 001 also mentioned the explanation of the "holding company":

Companies or factories in which the Peace Group holds more than 50% of the shares; or companies or factories in which the Peace Group holds less than 50% of the shares but has significant decision-making power.

A company that holds more than 50% of the shares is a holding company. This is easy to understand, and once the outside world understands this, it is easy to accept it.

However, many capitalists were dissatisfied with the fact that the Peace Group included companies and factories in which it held less than 50% of the shares in the welfare program.

First of all, we need to explain how the Peace Group can have major decision-making power when its shareholding is less than 50%.

To give a simple example, Peace Group currently owns 21% of Standard Chartered Bank's shares. If the largest shareholder, Eagle Capital, releases its shares, making Peace Group the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank, and gives up most of the board seats to people from Peace Group, then Peace Group will have major decision-making power!

The reason why this article caused dissatisfaction among many capitalists is mainly because of its implicit aggressiveness!
Just imagine, when the Heping Group wants to acquire a company in the future, will the employees of that company turn to the Heping Group in advance because of the good welfare benefits offered by the Heping Group?

You know, the welfare benefits of Peace Group have always been the best in Hong Kong Island!

They have been implementing basic salary, performance-based salary, year-end bonus, holiday benefits, annual leave benefits, etc. since 1980, and have created many multi-millionaires and billionaires during this period.

After entering the 90s, Heping Group not only increased employee holidays, but also added two travel benefits in spring and autumn, and also had a considerable amount of monthly team-building funds.

Because employees have a strong sense of belonging to the company, the "Peace Investment Plan" launched by Peace Group has been affected to some extent.

This is also the reason why the Peace Group previously held shares in most of the listed companies in Hong Kong Island, making the capitalists in Hong Kong Island very nervous.

The previous welfare benefits alone made the employees of those listed companies hope that Heping Group would really acquire their companies.

Now, with the added benefit of testing longevity potions and regeneration and repair fluids, who wouldn’t be tempted unless they are a lone wolf without parents or children?
Before this document was issued, someone had proposed adding the restriction of "teaching in rural areas", but Zhang Heping rejected it.

He only asked Chen Shuting one question: under what circumstances could those employees apply for the opportunity to try the longevity potion and regeneration repair fluid for free?
Apart from that, Zhang Heping didn't care.

Even though he knew that Chen Shuting proposed the restriction of "employees of subordinate holding companies" in order to address the fact that Heping Group had a small stake and no say in certain joint ventures in the mainland, he did not interfere too much.

As the end of the year approaches, everyone in the Peace Group has started to go on holiday, and those who want to apply for jobs in the Peace Group have gradually stopped coming.

Of course, there are also units that did not have holidays, such as Heping Hospital and Heping Aerospace, which Zhang Heping often visited recently.

The Yutu-1 and Yutu-2 lunar rovers have just successfully landed on the lunar poles. Currently operating the two rovers are brothers Zhang Long and Zhang Hu.

In order to record this historical moment, CCTV sent Zhou Xiaochun to lead the interview, obviously taking advantage of the uncle-nephew relationship between Zhang Heping and Zhou Xiaochun.

Of course, media people from Hong Kong, Macau, Huadu and Shenzhen also came. After all, the exhibition was to be shown to foreigners, so the show had to be big.

Zhang Heping assigned a site selection task for the Guanghan Palace base and let Heping Aerospace explore the moon on its own.

For a period of time afterwards, he was busy with the experiments on the longevity space capsule and the Phase 4 clinical trial of the regenerative repair fluid at the hospital.

As for the military and commercial research on regenerative repair fluid, he would only occasionally take a look when going up and down the laboratory building.

Zhang Heping suggested that the circulation of regeneration and repair fluid should be strictly controlled before, during and after the whole process, but those people wanted to solve the problem once and for all and eliminate the reproductive ability of the regeneration bacteria in the production process, retaining only the regeneration effect, so as to prevent the regeneration bacteria from flowing abroad.

In response to this, Zhang Heping, who edited the regenerative bacteria through genetic means, did not say any more nonsense and waited for them to hit the wall a few hundred times before they gave up.

Because Zhang Heping agreed to keep the regeneration and repair fluid as a top-secret formula for domestic use, the authorities reduced or exempted the export tariffs for the Heping Group, but did not relax the import tariffs for fear of affecting the domestic market.

Peace Group has invested so much in the country that it should have been given tax incentives long ago.

However, the taxes and fees involved with the Peace Group are not low, and many people are reluctant to give up.

Xiao Ke took office as the general manager of the University of Magnesium on January 20, and sent a visit request the next day, and also wanted to visit Shenzhen Peace College and Hospital.

The capital city welcomed him, but Shenzhen Peace College did not. They did not want him to have too much contact with Zhang Heping, and they also did not want any problems with the research on the regeneration and repair fluid.

It’s because the guy from Mexico has a criminal record. He just visited the Cancer Treatment Institute of the Capital Harmony Hospital and stole a hard drive!
Since Xiao Ke couldn't come, the elderly couple Zhou Jinyi and Chen Liqin, as well as the couple Ma Lili and Zhou Chengwen, came to Shenzhen with Ma Xiuzhen, Zhang Zhaodi and others to celebrate the New Year.

Although cousin Zhou Xiaochun was following up and reporting on the lunar and Mars exploration experiments in the Dapeng Peninsula, it was not the main reason for the Zhou family to come here.

They came here mainly to bring Zhou Jinyi to seek medical treatment, because Zhang Heping has been too busy recently and did not have time to go back during the New Year.

According to Zhang Heping's plan, he could have rested peacefully during the New Year holidays.

What he never expected was that hospitals in the capital and Shanghai would send additional medical staff during the Spring Festival, resulting in the number of disabled veterans participating in the fifth batch of clinical trials of regenerative repair fluid doubling.

At the same time, the hospital also added a lot of treatment cabins. The original ward layout with two beds and one treatment cabin was finally changed to three treatment cabins, leaving no place for doctors on duty and patients' families to rest.

Fortunately, Zhang Heping had the foresight to train some medical staff in the treatment pods beforehand, despite the extra work. Once the medical staff from the hospitals in Beijing and Shanghai arrived, the previous team provided hands-on guidance, so Zhang Heping only needed to make rounds morning and evening, offering occasional pointers.
Influenced by the hospital, experts, professors and assistants in the biology and genetic laboratory buildings also gave up their vacations, hoping to develop a convenient regeneration and repair liquid spray as soon as possible.

The assistants and students in the Shouyuan Space Capsule Remote Control Center on the top floor did not leave either, and enthusiastically helped other research institutes and research teams conduct experiments.

In order to have less trouble during the Chinese New Year, Zhang Heping stopped the research on the lifespan 200 potion.

In addition, Mr. Hua, Director Wang, and Zhao Jianguo all invited some of their family members to Shenzhen for the Spring Festival. Mrs. Zheng, who had been busy with Project Hope for more than half a year, also brought her niece over on the morning of New Year's Eve.

The families of Liu Yuan and Huang Wenli also took advantage of the Spring Festival to apply for the opportunity to attend the "family reunion" at Shenzhen Peace College.

The reason why so many people gathered here this year is mainly because the production of Shouyuan 120 potions this month has reached 42 units, which will increase to 52 units next month and is expected to reach 438 units by the end of the year.

Zhao Laoliu called his parents over and asked Zhang Heping to help take his pulse and diagnose the disease.

An old man in his seventies has more or less some old illnesses, not to mention that Company Commander Zhao is a veteran who has been on the battlefield and been injured.

"Heping, how is the old company commander's health?" Huang Xuemin asked anxiously from the side, without giving Lao Zhang a chance to express himself.

Zhang Heping sat in front of a doctor's office computer, frowning as he looked at the imaging report. He asked the doctor next to him, "Xiao Tang, have you discussed the treatment plan?"

When his name was called, the young doctor, Xiao Tang, quickly replied, "Teacher Zhang, we just discussed it and decided that we could use the nutrient solution and regenerative repair fluid in the treatment chamber to remove the five shrapnel fragments from the patient's body."

"After the patient has been in the treatment chamber for two days and received the regenerative repair fluid, we will use imaging to assess the tumor's condition and determine whether the patient needs the Lifespan 120 potion."

"At least three days!" Zhang Heping pointed to the chest image on the computer screen and said, "We need to give the cancer cells some time to divide. This will facilitate later observation. Do you understand?"

Dr. Tang immediately remembered the frequency of cancer cell division based on the three days Zhang Heping mentioned, and nodded hurriedly, "I understand!"

"Okay, after the Spring Festival, arrange a treatment cabin for my Uncle Zhao." Zhang Heping stood up and called out to the old company commander Zhao, Huang Xuemin, Lao Zhang and others to go out.

Most of Captain Zhao's illnesses were caused by shrapnel in his body. The suspected tumor was not large, and if the shrapnel was removed conservatively, there would be no need to consider the tumor.

But Captain Zhao is over seventy years old after all, and his recovery ability is not as good as before. Using traditional surgical treatment will undoubtedly take him to the gates of hell.

In comparison, the condition of my cousin Ma Lili's father-in-law Zhou Jinyi is slightly more serious because he has been diagnosed with a tumor.

Otherwise, the Western Xinjiang side probably wouldn't let him come back.

When Zhang Heping and his men returned to the villa area, this group of northerners were making dumplings at several large round tables outside the door, preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner.

My second sister Zhang Pandi came back from Hong Kong Island at some point and was also helping to roll out the dumpling wrappers at the big round table.

"Heping, is your Uncle Zhao okay?" Ma Xiuzhen asked loudly, as if wanting her son to speak to comfort Aunt Zhao next to him.

Zhang Heping casually responded, "It's not a big deal. The pain is caused by a few shrapnel. I can have a small operation to remove them after the New Year."

"See! You were worried for nothing!" Ma Xiuzhen said with a smile, "Vice President Deng of the college had a fourth relapse of cancer last year, and Heping was the one who cured him."

"Old Captain, this is just a suspected tumor, it hasn't been confirmed yet, you can relax!"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhao quickly responded, "It's now known both at home and abroad that Heping is a superb medical skill. Our Xiaoliu was saved by your Heping back then. Otherwise, how could he have..."

"We're all family, let's not be so polite!" Although Ma Xiuzhen liked to hear others praise her son, she also knew the difference between the occasion and the situation, so she interrupted:

"Jianguo and Heping have had a good relationship since childhood, so it's only natural for them to help each other."

After Zhang Heping said hello to the aunties and young wives who were making dumplings, he went to the side to watch others playing cards and chess.

Captain Zhao came over and briefly explained the situation, then he and Huang Xuemin followed Lao Zhang and others to go for a walk in the college.

Shenzhen Peace College is now the focus of news at home and abroad, and many people are curious about what it looks like inside.

Coupled with the support of the previous Peace Prize Award Ceremony, even though Captain Zhao and Huang Xuemin had been here before, they were now looking around curiously like Zhou Jinyi, Zhou Chengwen and others.

"That tunnel over there leads to a top-secret underground laboratory!" Zhang Bing said with a mixture of annoyance and excitement. "The joint attack aircraft, interceptors, air superiority fighters, and large passenger aircraft manufactured by Shaanxi Aircraft Corporation are all 3D models printed from down here, then taken to the Xishu wind tunnel for testing, and finally brought back to Shaanxi Aircraft Corporation for manufacturing!"

Zhang Bing only knew the general idea and was not clear about the details. His explanation was vague, but it did not affect other people's understanding.

"If we had these fighter planes back then, many of our brothers wouldn't have to..."

Captain Zhao patted Zhang Bing's trembling shoulders and agreed with a smile, "Back then, when I saw the Magnesium Army planes, I just wished there were a few machine guns firing into the sky. I'm sure we could shoot down a few planes."

"I was also thinking of machine guns!" Huang Xuemin said with a laugh. "I didn't even dare to think of anti-aircraft guns, let alone new fighter planes!"

Zhang Bing calmed down and said with some regret, "The lab downstairs is closed for the holiday. Otherwise, I could show you what the auxiliary mecha looks like."

"No way!" Huang Xuemin frowned and said, "The confidentiality level here is so high, how can you just take something out and look at it?"

Zhang Bing smiled somewhat smugly and said, "That was made by my grandsons Xiaolong and Xiaohu. Heping thinks it's useless, but I and other veterans think it's good."

"It's a pity that during the Lunar New Year, Heping doesn't allow anyone to go down."

"Heping probably did this to let those experts go home and spend the New Year in peace," Huang Xuemin said sympathetically. "My old company commander, my brother from the Zhou family, and I will be staying here for a while. We'll have plenty of opportunities to see what Xiaolong, Xiaohu, and the others have built!"

"Auxiliary mecha!" Zhang Bing corrected himself, and then used the few words in his mind to describe the appearance and function of that mecha in a halting manner.

The group continued walking, passing by the bustling cafeteria, the bustling library, and the heavily guarded biological genetics laboratory building...
