Starting with a fully invested A-share portfolio to become a capital...

Chapter 231 The bullets have arrived, who will be the fish on the chopping block?

At nightfall.

Yanjing Huadan Garden Business Hotel.

The hotel was originally a historically significant building, serving as an apartment for Danish experts visiting China in the 1980s.

In 1984, to support the technological development of China's biological products field, the Danish Ministry of Health and the Chinese Ministry of Health jointly funded the construction of an expert apartment on the grounds of the Yanjing Institute of Biological Products to accommodate Danish experts and international cooperation teams.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. With the rapid advancement of China's biopharmaceutical technology, Denmark has reduced the frequency of its technical assistance, and gradually, this expert apartment has fallen into disuse.

In 2008, the Expert Apartment underwent a complete renovation, expanding its guest rooms from 40 to 80. It was renamed Yanjing Huadan Garden Business Hotel and positioned as a near-three-star business hotel. New facilities such as a banquet hall, simultaneous interpretation conference room, and gym were added, and the hotel began to open to the public to undertake business activities.

At this moment, in the VIP private room of Huadan Garden Business Hotel, 47-year-old Qiao Lechen raised his wine glass and looked at the leaders seated there, saying:
"Thanks to the three leaders, our institute has made new breakthroughs in virus inactivation and removal technology. I would like to toast General Manager Mao, General Manager Zhang, and General Manager Chen. It is precisely because of your continued investment in research and development funds and your insightful vision that Tiantan Biological has been able to go from being a follower in Europe and America to becoming a leader!"

As a senior executive at Tiantan Biological Products, if Qiao Lechen wants to advance further, he'll need the approval of the top leadership to step down.

Chen Yuzhuo, who was sitting at the dinner table, was nearing retirement age, and his position would eventually become vacant. As for who would eventually take over, in addition to Chen Yuzhuo's own strong recommendation, the opinions of Mao Yinyuan and Zhang Xiaotan, the two senior leaders of the company, were also very important.

"GuluGulu——"

After downing a glass of baijiu, Qiao Lechen felt a burning sensation in his esophagus.

Having already gotten used to it, he did not show any discomfort. Instead, he looked at Chen Yuzhuo, Mao Yinyuan, and Zhang Xiaotan and said, "Three leaders, how about I give a brief report on the core technology of the third-generation intravenous immunoglobulin?"

"Let's not talk about work at a casual gathering, right?"

At this moment, Chen Yuzhuo, with gray hair, wearing silver-rimmed glasses, and a refined and scholarly appearance, waved his hand in refusal, seemingly unwilling to let Qiao Lechen take over his position.

Anyone who has been a leader knows that if there weren't retirement age requirements, they wouldn't want to retire, which is the complete opposite of ordinary workers.

Imagine being in a position where you manage hundreds of people, have the power to decide someone's promotion, and receive so many gifts during holidays that your hands cramp up. Who wouldn't want to live like that for a few more days?

In contrast, what about ordinary working people?
Being bossed around all day, working overtime until late at night, and suffering from water and soil incompatibility during business trips—no wonder I'm looking forward to retiring as soon as possible!

For this reason, Chen Yuzhu has already trained a "successor" to ensure that he can still have some say in Tiantan Biological after retirement, which is often referred to as retiring but not leaving his post.

"Mr. Chen is right. Entertainment gatherings are for having fun. Let's leave work matters until after the National Day holiday."

A Mediterranean-looking man smiled and answered the question. His name was Tan Jun, and he was one of the few people at Tiantan Biological who could compete with Qiao Lechen.

However, since Qiao Lechen had spoken up, it was impossible that he didn't have his own backer.

Mao Yinyuan smiled, glanced at the dozen or so people sitting around the table, and finally fixed his gaze on Qiao Lechen, saying, "It's often said that you can balance work and life. Right now, Jiachen Biotechnology from Shancheng Beer is making quite a stir. I heard they're even going to develop a curative hepatitis B vaccine. Our company has a significant market share in preventative hepatitis B vaccines. If we get squeezed out, we'll have to see if our blood products business can make up for it. Don't you think so, Mr. Zhang?"

All of a sudden.

All eyes were on Zhang Xiaotan.

Qiao Lechen and Tan Jun both have powerful backers, which makes Zhang Xiaotan's vote extremely important.

When the topic was turned to him, Zhang Xiaotan was very diplomatic, but he expressed his position: "Tiantan Biological is no longer a small company, it is a proper state-owned enterprise. It is fine to have fun, but it is okay to listen to work-related matters."

Chen Yuzhu frowned slightly; he had figured it out—Zhang Xiaotan was biased towards Qiao Lechen.

Because Chen Yuzhu is about to retire and his power will soon be dissipated, but Mao Yinyuan is different. He will retire even later than Zhang Xiaotan, so choosing Qiao Lechen seems to be more advantageous for him.

His hesitation stemmed from wanting to see what offers were made by both sides.

"Mr. Zhang is right. We should balance work and life. We need to live and work at the same time. Listening to technical reports makes us feel more confident!"

"Yes, I heard that not only Jiachen Biotechnology, but Guangfu Pharmaceutical is also developing a curative hepatitis B vaccine, but I don't know how it's progressing."

"Then we must find a way out and be prepared for any eventuality."

"That makes sense."

"It's all thanks to Mr. Zhang's foresight."

The other people in the private room were very good at reading the wind. They all knew very well that these leaders appeared harmonious and aloof on the surface, but in reality, they were all ruthless "gluttons" who would fight tooth and nail for a position of real power.

Since 1+1 is greater than 1, and with the agreement of the others in the private room, Chen Yuzhuo did not object anymore, but he also remained silent.

Tan Jun's eyes flashed with a hint of hostility. If he were to take Chen Yuzhu's place, and Zhang Xiaotan, that old man, wanted to retire but not leave his post, he would be the first to vote against it.

"Cough-cough-"

Qiao Lechen cleared his throat and recited the results he had memorized perfectly: "The second-generation intravenous immunoglobulin uses a low-temperature ethanol method plus chemical modification, such as plasmin digestion, to remove anti-complement activity through chemical treatment. However, this may damage the integrity of IgG molecules, leading to impaired Fc segment function and affecting antibody activity."

"The third generation is different. We have introduced ion exchange chromatography technology, combined with low pH treatment, to achieve more precise protein separation."

"For example, DEAE cellulose chromatography removes impurities while preserving the complete IgG molecular structure, thus retaining the Fc fragment function and significantly enhancing antibody activity."

After a pause, Qiao Lechen continued, "The purity of second-generation IgG is about 90%-95%, and the residual IgA is usually >25μg/mL, as well as IgM and anti-A/anti-B hemagglutinin, which may cause allergic reactions and hemolysis risks."

"The third generation uses chromatography purification to increase IgG to 95%-97% and reduce IgA residue to below 25μg/mL, reducing the risk of allergies in IgA-deficient patients and reducing the risk of hemolysis by more than 50% compared to the second generation."

"Clap clap-"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mao Yinyuan led the applause and exclaimed, "It seems that the old saying still holds true: if one door closes, another opens. Even if the hepatitis B vaccine loses its market, we still have the blood products market, which is enough to make up for it."

Zhang Xiaotan nodded slightly and praised, "The development in this area is indeed quite good. Technology is the foundation. The 21st century is not an era of physical strength. Only with technology can we have a future."

"make persistent efforts."

Chen Yuzhu gave a brief evaluation.

He needed to make others see his attitude, especially Mao Yinyuan and Zhang Xiaotan, so that they could find the balance.

Qiao Lechen could also tell that Chen Yuzhu was being perfunctory, but he still thanked him and said, "This is all thanks to the three leaders for their insightful and decisive decision despite the opposition. I am deeply impressed."

The other people in the private room weren't idle either; they all started offering compliments.

"It is said that a leader's strategic vision is the rudder of a company's development. I used to have doubts, but now I believe it. Thanks to General Manager Chen, General Manager Mao, and General Manager Zhang, our Tiantan Biological has been able to thrive and double its performance. I toast to you all."

"I would also like to toast the three leaders; you are simply the saviors of our company."

"That's right, my savior!"

"I'll take the job, all three bosses."

Inside the private room, everyone clinked glasses and drank, one glass of wine after another going down their throats.

The brain-damaging and liver-damaging drinking session didn't end until late at night. As Chen Yuzhuo and Tan Jun left together, Chen Yuzhuo couldn't help but scold Tan Jun: "You want to climb the ladder but aren't prepared. You're such a pig-brain. During this National Day holiday, you need to memorize all the business of your department. I'll organize a gathering after the holiday, and you'll have to show off."

"Okay, Uncle Chen."

"Don't call me uncle, use my title when we're out in public."

"Okay Mr. Chen."

Chen Yuzhuo was disappointed in him because he felt that his son was not living up to his potential.

If he weren't unwilling to relinquish power and was nearing retirement, he would never have let Tan Jun take over, as Tan Jun's abilities were simply too poor.

A lack of ability is a disadvantage 99% of the time, but in that 1% of opportunities, it can be a rare advantage.

why would you say so?

If you want to retire but not resign and still maintain control of the situation, would you choose someone with outstanding abilities or someone with mediocre abilities?
Obviously, most people would choose the mediocre one, because mediocrity means being easy to control and more obedient.

Should we choose those with outstanding abilities?

He forgot about his old boss after only three days in office.

This is why the longer a company has been established, the more complex its factions and relationships become.

The phrase "cost reduction and efficiency improvement" was originally intended for leaders, but some companies simply copied it and applied it to ordinary employees, resulting in absurd situations like "layoffs affecting the very core of the workforce."

……

New City International Community.

When Qiao Lechen returned home reeking of alcohol, his wife Feng Daixuan had already prepared hangover tea and heated up the food.

At a dinner party with leaders present, no matter how lavish the dishes are, one's appetite will be halved.

The reason is that dinner parties are occasions for discussing business and chatting, and everyone's attention is highly focused, so they have no interest in eating.

Once you get home, it's different. You forget all that nonsense and high-sounding principles, the tension relaxes, and you naturally get hungry.

That's why, when Qiao Lechen was almost home, he made a special call to Feng Daixuan to ask her to heat up the food.

"Take a shower and change your clothes first. I'll cover your food up."

Feng Daixuan helped Qiao Lechen tidy up his shoes. She had the typical submissive mindset of a woman, and since Qiao Lechen earned a lot, she was almost completely obedient to him without any complaints.

"I'm starving. I'll take a bath later." Qiao Lechen sat down at the dining table, deftly picked up a piece of braised pork, and swallowed it with rice.

He barely ate anything at the dinner; he was too busy chatting and drinking.

Seeing Qiao Lechen eating so fast, Feng Daixuan reminded him, "Eat slowly, don't choke."

"Ugh, you have no idea, I haven't eaten for almost ten hours. That dinner party, one topic after another, if it weren't for the promotion, I would have really wanted to flip the table and leave."

Qiao Lechen poured out his grievances.

"Speaking of your promotion, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and I bought a few boxes of mooncakes. When do you think would be a good time to send them to you?"

Feng Daixuan asked again.

"Is there any space under the inner tray?" Qiao Lechen didn't care about the flavor of the mooncakes, but immediately thought about whether there was any space under the inner tray of the box.

For ordinary gift-giving, giving mooncakes is simply giving mooncakes; the focus is on the taste and brand.

But for those who want to make progress, taste and brand are not the key factors; the most important thing when giving mooncakes is the space.

For example, last year, Qiao Lechen sent out several boxes of mooncakes. The packaging boxes were made in the style of ancient imperial dessert drawers, which could hold a lot of things, such as goldfish, banknotes, and bank cards.

“We have them all, the same model as last year.” Feng Daixuan replied, then suddenly remembered something and said, “By the way, I also received a letter from you today. The sender’s name is Mr. J. Is he your pen pal?”

The revised Postal Law, passed on April 24, 2009, included express delivery services in the regulatory system for the first time, but it has not been formally implemented. Moreover, it only targets the growing express delivery industry and has not yet made mandatory real-name regulations for letters, including ordinary letters and registered letters.

In other words, the sender of the mail cannot be found at present.

"pen pal?"

Qiao Lechen thought about it carefully. He did have a few pen pals in the past, but they hadn't corresponded for several years. It was possible that they had just changed their pen names.

He put down his chopsticks and said, "Let me see the letter."

"You wait a moment."

Feng Daixuan went to search for it.

Not a moment.

She handed the letter to Qiao Lechen.

When the envelope was opened, Qiao Lechen took out the folded letter inside. As the letter was unfolded, a photograph slowly slid out.

Feng Daixuan was about to bend down to pick it up when Qiao Lechen's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he shouted at her in a voice several times louder, "Don't move!!"

Feng Daixuan was startled and stood there stunned.

Before she could react, Qiao Lechen had already picked up the photo and left home.

He arrived at the emergency exit in the hallway outside the door, stood on the steps for a long time, unable to calm himself down, and cold sweat slowly slid down his right temple.

"who is it?"

Who sent the letter?

He was in a state of confusion.

The numbers at the beginning of the letter indicate a bank card he frequently used for transferring benefits with the organization; the account holder was his mother. The photo tucked inside the letter was a screenshot of him transmitting insider information about the company.

Ten minutes later, Qiao Lechen finally calmed down a bit. After wiping the sweat from his forehead, he opened the letter again.

[6228××××3251, Mr. Qiao, I believe you have a deep impression of this number. I know everything you've done and I understand your relationship with the organization, but please don't worry. As long as you cooperate, you will still be you, and your life will not take a wrong turn. Please send an email to …@163.com within 12 hours to contact me further.]
"Mr. J..." Qiao Lechen felt a chill run down her spine when she uttered that name.

He was the one who released most of the inside information about Tiantan Biological's asset restructuring, as well as new progress and technological breakthroughs in the restructuring. Each time, he made a profit of hundreds of thousands or even millions of Chinese yuan.

It was precisely through this extra income that he not only bought three houses outright—one in Beijing, one in Sanya, and one in Shanghai—but also stored more than a dozen gold bars.

It's no exaggeration to say that he has achieved financial freedom by selling company restructuring and news of technological breakthroughs.

Why did he compete for the position of vice president?
The reason is simple: to clean up their mess and prevent the matter from being exposed.

"I sent this text message in the middle of the year, using ion chromatography technology. Which organization leaked it?"

Qiao Lechen was completely clueless. He had worked with quite a few organizations, including a company that specialized in intelligence gathering.

After weighing the pros and cons, he folded the printed screenshots and letters, took two deep breaths to calm his agitated heart, and turned to walk into the house.

Now he has no choice but to cooperate with "Mr. J".

Of course. He also wanted to know how to cooperate.

……

Not only Qiao Lechen, but also one or more senior executives of several listed pharmaceutical companies such as Hualan Biological, Da An Gene, and Huahai Pharmaceutical received letters from "Mr. J".

Some were terrified, some were angry, and some chose to obediently comply.

When they send an email to the specified address, they are given an automated reply template.

[Entecavir and synthetic peptide vaccines will not produce any special reactions. Jiachen Bio's curative hepatitis B vaccine is a scam. Neither increased dosage nor other methods can eliminate the covalently closed circular DNA of the hepatitis B virus. I need you to contact three media outlets with significant reach to publicly expose this fraud. The deadline is October 5th. If this is not completed, all evidence and recordings of suspected insider trading will be sent to the China Securities Regulatory Commission and your company.]
If the content of the letter is still somewhat tactful, then the automated reply email is a very blatant threat.

However, the moment Qiao Lechen saw the contents of the email, his mind went completely blank.

Did Jiachen Bio commit fraud?

Are curative hepatitis B vaccines fake?

It's worth noting that Tiantan Biological has recently increased its investment in blood product technology because it's afraid of losing its preventative hepatitis B vaccine business. After all, with a curative hepatitis B vaccine available, who would still want to get a preventative one?

"Is this real or fake? Ten years of investment all for nothing?"

Qiao Lechen muttered to himself.

As an industry insider, he is actually not very optimistic about curative hepatitis B vaccines.

Because T-cell function is generally depleted in patients with chronic hepatitis B, simple epitope stimulation is unlikely to restore the killing power of T cells.

In addition, the covalently closed circular DNA of the hepatitis B virus is very difficult to overcome. If its viral reservoir cannot be cut off, even if a portion is eliminated, the hepatitis B virus will continue to replicate.

It's like getting rid of cockroaches. Buying 10,000 cockroach cages won't help because that only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. To get rid of the root cause, you need to use a spray containing fipronil to eliminate the pests at their source.

As the saying goes, after the darkest hour comes the dawn. Qiao Lechen was both angry and overjoyed. He didn't know if what Mr. J said was true, but since the other party was able to obtain evidence of his insider trading, he must be a big shot.

When gods fight, mortals suffer. To avoid disaster, one must assess the situation carefully.

"There is no better way now. If the other party sends the evidence to the China Securities Regulatory Commission and Tiantan Biological Products, my life will be ruined."

Qiao Lechen muttered to himself.

But suddenly, he changed his tone: "If what Mr. J said is true, then I am a hero in exposing fraud and a hero of Tiantan Biological's preventive vaccine business. Even if Tan Jun has Chen Yuzhu's strong support, he can't compete with me for the position."

Risks and opportunities coexist. If you choose to cooperate, the worst outcome is that you'll be locked up for six months. Moreover, the most crucial point is that if "Mr. J" really wants to send Qiao Lechen to jail, there's no need to go through all that trouble. He could just present the evidence of the transfer of benefits, and he'd be in jail.

Following this line of thought, Jiachen Biotechnology might actually be committing fraud.

It wasn't just Qiao Lechen; other pharmaceutical company executives shared the same idea, with only a very few still wavering.

……

10 month 1 number.

The grand celebration of the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China was held.

The event featured 14 marching formations, including the honor guards of the army, navy, and air force, the armed police force, and militia formations. Among them, the female militia formation and the female soldiers formation of the three services made their first joint appearance.

The 30 equipment formations, comprising 52 types and over 500 pieces of equipment, are all domestically produced and currently in service. Among them are the Dongfeng-31A intercontinental ballistic missile formation, the Type 99 main battle tank, and new self-propelled artillery, all of which demonstrate the strength of the Chinese military.

Twelve air formations, comprising 151 aircraft, including J-10 fighter jets making their first large-scale formation appearance, along with H-6K bombers and tankers, forming an "airborne Great Wall" formation.

Netizens who watched the live broadcast of the military parade expressed their heartfelt feelings.

[Anonymous Kid]: So cool! The J-series fighter jets are so cool! No wonder they are known as fighter jets that can annihilate all invading enemies!

[Brother is a legend]: Tanks are the romance of men. I wish I could fire one and experience it.

[Army Spreads]: Dignity lies only on the edge of the sword, and truth lies only within the range of artillery. As a person born in the 60s, I am always moved to tears when I watch the military parade. I wish our motherland a better and better future, to achieve its great rejuvenation, and to return to the top of the world!

[Polaris Bear]: Ever since watching the military parade, I can't bend my back anymore because it's just too stiff!

National Day is a day of celebration for the whole country.

The military parade caused a nationwide uproar.

Perhaps it was the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, or perhaps it was because 2009 was the year of recovery from the subprime mortgage crisis, but this year's military parade was much larger than previous ones.

Many people only know the saying, "Dignity lies only on the edge of a sword, and truth lies only within the range of cannons," but in fact, international trade also depends on the military strength of both sides.

In the modern era, the military is the foundation at its very core.

In the midst of national celebration, time always flies by, and before we know it, it's already the Mid-Autumn Festival on October 3rd.

As this festival is a time for family reunion, Zhang Yang did not stay in Shanghai, but returned to his hometown in eastern Guangdong a day early to reunite with his family and eat mooncakes.

It is said that one should return home in glory, but sometimes, returning home can be quite troublesome.

For example, a relative brought his son, a vocational school graduate who works in car repair, to visit. The relative flattered him and even offered to work for Caiyan.com without pay.

Will Zhang Yang agree?

He naturally couldn't agree to that.

Once this precedent is set, in the future, whenever any relative's child, or even a relative's relative, becomes unemployed, or complains about low wages outside, they will immediately think of Zhangyang's financial research website.

Many companies decline because they are too proud to let go and put random relatives in unimportant positions, which then snowballs into bigger and bigger problems.

Moreover, if you hire relatives, any slight imperfection will be reported to the elders of those relatives, which is very troublesome.

Besides, they said they don't want a salary, but if you really don't pay them, they'll gossip about you behind your back.

Besides relatives seeking employment, there are also relatives seeking financial assistance, who come to borrow money.

Similarly, Zhang Yang remained adamant in his refusal, preferring to offend some of his relatives rather than lend the money.

He lends money to others in two situations: one is when someone is sick and there is really no other way; the other is for his children's school expenses.

Illness is urgent, education is fundamental. Even if we can't recover from these two things, it doesn't matter. We'll help as much as we can.

But if it's about borrowing money to start a business, build a house, get married, or eat, then forget about it.

Zhang Yang's "indifference" had a significant effect; in less than half a day, he became known as an ingrate among some of his relatives.

However, some reasonable relatives ignored the noise and commotion.

……

A night of beautiful flowers and a full moon.

Zhang Yang, along with his parents Zhang Qujin and Liang Ruolan, his sister Zhang Anxin, and his uncles Zhang Zhong and Zhang Zerun, gathered at the Jia Huan Restaurant.

My uncle, Zhang Zhong, had a few years of schooling and is currently in the business of traditional Chinese medicine, but he failed to seize the business opportunities of the 1980s.

My second uncle, Zhang Zerun, runs a small scrap yard. After a year of hard work, he should have earned around 100,000 yuan.

Among the three brothers Zhang Qujin, Zhang Zerun, and Zhang Zhong, Zhang Qujin was the worst off, but he didn't let Zhang Yang and Zhang Anxin go hungry.

Unlike big cities, earning 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a year in a small county town is considered quite remarkable, especially in 2009.

“Come here, Ayang.”

Second Uncle Zhang Zerun raised his glass, looked at Zhang Yang and said, "Second Uncle must have a drink with you, to get some of the billionaire's wealth. Maybe I can make a comeback."

"Haha, good." Zhang Yang raised his glass to clink glasses with Zhang Yang's, and then lowered his glass to show respect.

"what--"

Zhang Zerun downed his drink in one gulp and uttered a sigh.

At this moment, Uncle Zhang Zhong also spoke up: "When is A-Yang planning to return to Shanghai? I heard that your internet companies are all quite busy and require 24-hour uninterrupted service."

"The requirements for National Day are relatively low. As long as the website is accessible, it's fine. Besides, I'm quite comfortable with this, so staying a couple more days won't hurt."

Zhang Yang's trip back to eastern Guangdong this time was not just for a family reunion; he also wanted to take the opportunity to visit the TCL Group headquarters and sound out their intentions.

He has already made contact with Samsung Group. If he obtains the distribution rights for LCD screens, or even just the relevant technology, then he will have to rely on other companies for production.

Currently, among LCD display companies, TCL Group is a good choice, as are BOE and Rainbow Optoelectronics.

As soon as Zhang Yang finished speaking, Zhang Zerun's daughter, Zhang Zhihan, who is also Zhang Yang's cousin, joked, "Being a boss is great. You can go to work whenever you want. It's so carefree."

After a half-second pause, she asked again, "Ah Yang, have you seen Ma Yun?"

"I've met him; he's a pretty nice person."

Zhang Yang smiled faintly.

"Does Yang Ge know Ma Huateng? Is his birthday really September 17th? I've forwarded his birthday posts several times, but the Q coins still haven't arrived. Is it a scam?" A boy of about twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a T-shirt, asked.

His name is Zhang Xiaolei, the youngest son of his second uncle Zhang Zerun. He usually likes to play CrossFire. In order to recharge the game, he even stole money from Zhang Zerun, and as a result, he was beaten by both of them.

Before Zhang Yang could speak, Zhang Xiaolei's mother, Wang Feng, stopped him, saying, "Stop thinking about your stupid game all day long. Learn from A-Yang, he started a company in his early twenties, and you're still playing games all day."

"..."

After being reprimanded, Zhang Xiaolei lowered his head.

Zhang Yang could clearly sense that Wang Feng had a tendency to hope her son would become successful, which is a common problem among mothers.

“Playing is a child’s nature. Xiao Yang, if you know Ma Huateng’s birthday, just tell Xiao Lei,” Zhang Qujin said, trying to smooth things over.

"Yes," Liang Ruolan echoed, then continued, "But do you really get those coins for forwarding birthday posts?"

"They're all fake."

Zhang Yang had no choice but to expose the truth.

In his younger days, he also believed in these things, such as Ma Huateng's birthday, Ma Huateng's daughter's birthday, and a certain celebrity being humiliated by Koreans. He would get Q coins for forwarding the post, but after waiting for several days, the money never arrived.

"Fake?"

Zhang Xiaolei was incredulous.

"fake."

"real or fake?"

"fake."

After Zhang Yang confirmed it repeatedly, Zhang Xiaolei had no choice but to accept this cruel reality.

"Enough of that, let's cut the mooncake. I made a big one myself this year," said Dai Ruxue, Zhang Zhong's wife.

Just then, the waiter brought over a large mooncake, about ten inches in size, and placed it in the very center of the table.

“Ayang, come and cut.”

"Yes, let Ayan cut it."

"Yang Geqie, let us share in your good fortune!"

"it is good!"

Zhang Yang did not refuse, took the knife, and began to cut the mooncake in half.

It feels very hard; if I'm not mistaken, it should be a five-nut mooncake.

When Zhang Yang cut it open, sure enough, it was the dreaded Five-Kernel Mooncake!

However, it's all about the atmosphere during festivals, so when the five-nut mooncake was cut open, everyone at the table cheered in unison.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

"happy mid-Autumn Festival!"

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone! Wishing you good health and all your wishes come true!

Amidst blessings, everyone received their own special five-nut mooncake.

Knowing it would taste bad, Zhang Yang deliberately cut it into very small pieces, hoping for a festive touch.

If it's a five-nut mooncake the size of a palm, even a dog would shake its head at it.

……

While Zhang Yang was still immersed in the joyful atmosphere of reuniting with his family and celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Weibo platform suddenly exploded.

The article "Jiachen Biotechnology, a subsidiary of Shancheng Beer, was reported by name" quickly climbed into the top 20 of the list, clearly indicating that there was capital manipulating the situation.

Clicking on the entry, what comes into view is a video of a real-name whistleblower. The person in the video is a middle-aged man in his early forties with thick eyebrows. At this moment, he is holding up his ID card in one hand and a memo paper in the other.

My name is Li Xiangwen. I am a former member of the combined drug treatment group of Jiachen Biotechnology. I am now making a real-name report against Jiachen Biotechnology, a subsidiary of Shancheng Beer, for concealing the results of the Phase II clinical trial. After the combined drug treatment group was used in combination with entecavir, the HBeAg conversion rate at 48 weeks still did not exceed 30%, and the virological response indicators did not meet expectations.

Furthermore, the response rates of the 600μg and 900μg dosage groups were almost identical, suggesting that the antigen concentration had reached saturation, and further increasing the dosage would have no clinical significance. Jiachen Biotechnology's team, knowing the results, still chose to conceal them. I have reason to suspect that Jiachen Biotechnology's team is defrauding national subsidies. Coupled with the consecutive days of limit-up trading in Shancheng Beer, there may be a transfer of benefits between the company and the institution. I hope the China Securities Regulatory Commission can intervene and investigate.
