Chapter 831 The Impact of Generic Longevity Medications
When Zhang Heping's first wife Tang Xin heard that he didn't want his children to take over the Ping Group, she couldn't help feeling complicated.
Even though she had been told this a long time ago, the inherent idea of inheriting her father's business still played tricks on her mind.
Fortunately, this emotion comes and goes quickly.
In addition, the children did not raise any questions, so the issue of family property was casually ignored.
At 23 p.m. that evening, news came from Hong Kong Island that the management of Hong Kong Island Technology Company was completely wiped out, with not a single one left clean.
Things will be simple after that. First, hand the person over to the Hong Kong police, and then go through the legal procedures in Hong Kong.
The next morning, Chen Shuting asked Tang Wei, the head of Heping Smart Technology Company, to come forward to help Zhang Bei's Hong Kong Island Technology Company clean up the mess.
Chen Shuting's idea was very simple. Since her husband didn't want Zhang Bei to go to Tang Wei to learn, then the other way around, she would let Tang Wei bring a few managers to help Zhang Bei's company sort out its personnel and business.
With the thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plants in Taishan, Zhuhai and Yangjiang coming into operation, the desalination plant, seawater refinery and hydrogen production plant on the Dapeng Peninsula in Shenzhen have been able to operate at full capacity, temporarily eliminating fuel concerns for this year's rocket launch missions.
So, when Zhang Heping brought 12 assistants and their students to the Heping Aerospace Company, they happened to see a rocket carrying four meteorological satellites taking off.
Because there was no time to climb the mountain, Zhang Heping did not take them to the mountain to watch the rocket recovery. Instead, he took them directly to the comprehensive inspection factory to watch the other three space experiment modules up close so that they could have a more intuitive understanding of the space capsule.
A group of people wearing white dust-proof suits went in and out of the No. 2, 3, and 4 Shouyuan space capsules several times, and finally satisfied their curiosity.
Just as Zhang Heping took them to the Shouyuan Space Capsule Project Monitoring Center of Heping Aerospace Company, Assistant Lu Lao smiled beside Zhang Heping and said:
"I didn't realize how big the No. 1 Life Expectancy Space Capsule was before. Today, after entering the other Life Expectancy Space Capsules, I realized that after these four Life Expectancy Space Capsules are successfully docked and assembled in space, they can completely rival the space stations of foreign countries!"
"It's no fun to compare with foreigners!" Zhang Heping said with a smile: "You can think of the Shouyuan Space Experiment Module as a smaller version of the Tiangong Space Station."
"Once the No. 2 Shouyuan space capsule successfully launches with the experimental monkey, our manned program and Tiangong space station program will be put on the agenda."
When the men, women, young and old around heard the news, they couldn't help but show excitement.
A male student asked excitedly: "Teacher Zhang, will our life-saving space capsule have astronauts in it in the future?"
"If the space capsule malfunctions and needs manual repair, we might send astronauts over." Zhang Heping answered casually, "On the premise that no dangerous samples leak!"
Under the leadership of Zhang Heping, these assistants and students came to the Shouyuan Space Capsule Project Monitoring Center and got to know the staff there.
The last time the student made an operational error, he did not realize the seriousness of the problem at all, nor did he take any immediate countermeasures.
The other three assistants were concentrating on their own experiments and were completely unaware of the spread of colorless and invisible bacteria.
It was at the Shouyuan Space Capsule Project Monitoring Center that it was discovered that a group of robotic arms were operating abnormally, and they immediately called the remote control center at Shenzhen Peace College, only to confirm that the operational error had caused the air in the space capsule to be contaminated.
When Zhang Heping was about to ask everyone to go back, Lu Zhongsheng, the head of Heping Aerospace, pulled Zhang Heping aside and whispered:
"The space agency just called and said they want to access our navigation and communication satellite systems. Do you think this is acceptable?"
"What do you think?" Zhang Heping asked back expressionlessly.
At the beginning, he asked Heping Investment's Shenzhen branch to negotiate cooperation with the mainland on nuclear power plants, power grids, the Internet, and satellites, but the nuclear industry and aerospace industries were against him.
It’s bad enough that they have no money and no technology, they also want to take a 51% controlling stake in the joint venture!
They are fighting over this little bit of equity, so who knows what the outcome will be like in the future when it comes to fighting over the management rights of the joint venture!
Zhang Heping was most annoyed by those who did not listen to his orders, so he set up the Southern Power Grid and Heping Aerospace Company on his own in Shenzhen.
Lu Zhongsheng, the head of Peace Space, hesitated for a moment and said, "They said that if we agree to their access, they can help us launch some rocket missions."
"How many satellites did Peace Space launch last year? How many did they launch?" Zhang Heping asked coldly, "Do you think we need their help in launching rockets?"
"No need!" Lu Zhongsheng hurriedly shook his head to express his opinion. He had already heard the dissatisfaction in Zhang Heping's tone, and thought it was related to the space agency's refusal to cooperate in the past.
After Zhang Heping and his men left, Lu Zhongsheng had no choice but to call Mr. Hua and tell him about Zhang Heping's attitude.
Because of the electronic information warfare in the Middle East, people from the space agency were summoned and asked to come up with measures to deal with the magnesium guys.
Then, the people from the space agency thought of Mr. Hua, who had poached their employees in the past, and wanted him to act as a middleman to promote their cooperation with Peace Space.
Unfortunately, not only do they have no money and no technology, but even the relevant technical personnel have been poached by Peace Aerospace, and they have lost the confidence in negotiations.
Mr. Hua had actually anticipated Zhang Heping's refusal. After all, they had been together for so many years, and he was very familiar with Zhang Heping's character.
Fortunately, Peace Space's navigation satellites and communication satellites are open to the military free of charge and will not affect the military's modernization reforms.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry to return to Shenzhen to find Zhang Heping, nor did he care how much pressure the Space Administration was under.
However, after Mr. Hua decided to stay in the capital for the New Year, more and more people came to visit him. It was obvious that nine out of ten of them came to ask about the longevity potion.
Mr. Hua’s guards were able to stop people from entering the door, but Director Wang Sumei was not so tough.
In particular, when those visitors went to the Zhuang family to visit the much younger Mr. Zhuang, they asked Old Lady Yang to help introduce Wang Sumei who lived next door.
For strangers or people she is not very familiar with, Wang Sumei can still use the principle of confidentiality to refuse one or two requests.
However, when some old leaders came in person to ask for medicine, and when Old Lady Yang brought people over with an apologetic look on her face, Wang Sumei finally understood why Zhang Heping had given her the right to test the Shouyuan 100 potion.
"For Old Yang's sake, I can help you apply for a place in the drug trial." Director Wang Sumei said helplessly, "However, you have to understand the side effects of the Life 100 potion yourself."
"If you can accept the side effects, go to the Cosmetology Department of Shenzhen Peace College after the New Year and then call me."
"No, Comrade Wang!" A middle-aged man who came with them interrupted, "I heard that the longevity potion used by Elder Zheng and Elder Zhuang has no side effects. Can you give my dad the longevity potion without side effects?"
"Heh..." Director Wang couldn't help but laugh out loud. Nine out of ten people who came to see her recently wanted to use the longevity potion with no side effects. The key was that they didn't want to pay.
Director Wang looked at the unnatural expression on the face of Old Lady Yang next to him and said, "Since there is a longevity potion with no side effects, why didn't Old Lady Yang and Old Lady Hua use it?"
Anyone who can make Director Wang patiently explain must be of a high level.
However, compared with Mr. Hua and Mr. Li, it is not good enough.
The reason why Wang Sumei was still sitting here was mainly because these people were brought here by Old Lady Yang.
Old Lady Yang continued, "I said before that drugs without side effects cannot be mass-produced."
The old man who came to ask for medicine frowned and glanced at Old Lady Yang and Wang Sumei, and finally his eyes stopped at the dazed face of Old Zhuang, "I heard that although that kind of medicine can delay aging, it can't cure Alzheimer's disease."
"Yes!" Director Wang Sumei nodded, "You can go back and think about it slowly. If you can accept the side effects of the 100-year life potion, just call me after the New Year."
"If you want to use that kind of longevity potion without side effects, I can only tell you that it is very difficult!"
"Foreign tycoons are asking for that medicine at a price of 1 million US dollars per bottle."
"If that potion was really easy to make, it would have been sold on Hong Kong Island long ago."
The old man who was asking for medicine shamelessly did not stand up. He thought for a while in silence before asking, "I wonder if Comrade Wang could introduce Consultant Zhang to me?"
"You have to find Elder Hua for this matter!" Wang Sumei's expression suddenly became serious, and she said, "Earl Kong, Elder Zhou, and Elder Tang all met Consultant Zhang through Elder Hua."
"Besides, they haven't got the longevity potion without side effects, so it's useless for you to see Consultant Zhang."
The old man who asked for medicine was embarrassed. If he had the ability to meet Old Hua, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to come here.
After sending away the man who was begging for medicine, Old Lady Yang said to Wang Sumei embarrassedly: "The man just now was the old leader of our Lao Zhuang. Although Lao Zhuang has forgotten this person, I can't do anything about it. Alas..."
"It's okay. Heping had anticipated this kind of shamelessness, so he left a few hundred extra bottles of 100-year-old potions in Heping Hospital." Wang Sumei helplessly comforted him, "If someone comes to see you in the future and you really can't refuse, just bring them to me."
"However, we cannot promise that the longevity potion will not have any side effects. Heping's old father-in-law hasn't even used the medicine yet, so how can it be their turn?"
"I understand this. Heping told me last year that the new drug is still under development." Old Mrs. Yang also looked helpless.
"We are indeed developing it!" Director Wang looked at Mr. Zhuang, who looked to be in his 1s, and smiled. "The No. longevity space capsule launched by Peace Aerospace was launched to develop a new type of longevity medicine."
Old Mrs. Yang nodded to show that she understood, and then chatted for a few more words before pulling her husband away.
As soon as the outsiders left, Director Wang's current husband Li Ming, who had been hiding in the inner room, came out leisurely.
"You must be very tired!" Li Ming, who is in his sixties, smiled and walked over to Wang Sumei, pulled her to sit on the sofa, and advised: "If it really doesn't work out, just quit your job there and stay at home to take care of your grandchildren."
"That won't do!" Director Wang looked at his wife and said sternly, "You don't understand the importance of peace, nor do you understand his character."
"If he gets mad at someone who doesn't have eyes, it will be a big trouble!"
Li Ming laughed and said, "The richest man in Hong Kong Island, a world-renowned medical expert and scientist, who doesn't know his reputation? Who dares to make him angry and run away!"
"Humph!" Director Wang snorted coldly, "Knowing is one thing, doing is another."
"Besides, haven't you seen enough people who can't stand others doing well and stab others in the back?"
"Okay! I can't argue with you!" Li Ming patted the back of Wang Sumei's hand, "I'm just worried that you'll get tired. After all, you've been retired for ten years!"
"I'm not tired, but there are many things that need to be kept secret, so I can't tell you and my children." Wang Sumei said, leaning on the shoulder of her husband Li Ming.
Li Ming leaned his head against his wife's head and smiled, "It doesn't matter whether you say it or not. The Peace Group has invested more and more money in the mainland in recent years. It must be the result of your hard work and maintenance."
Wang Sumei simply nodded. Knowing that her husband understood her, the burden on her seemed to be lightened a lot.

Capital, north bank of Houhai Lake.
Zhang Pandi had just returned home and saw her elder sister Zhang Zhaodi sitting at the dining table in a daze. She walked over with a slightly helpless look on her face.
When Zhang Zhaodi saw her second sister coming over, she sighed first and asked helplessly, "How many old men and old ladies came to see you today?"
Zhang Pandi put her body heavily on the chair and answered casually: "Six, how about you?"
"There are 11 of them, and 5 of them were brought to me by Changsheng." Zhang Zhaodi's tone revealed deep helplessness and speechlessness.
"Where is my brother-in-law?" Zhang Pandi looked up into the skylight, but saw no one and heard no sound.
"He must be hiding at his mother's house!" Zhang Zhaodi said unhappily, "It's not right to embarrass him in front of outsiders this afternoon. When he comes back, I'll show you how I'll deal with him!"
Zhang Pandi also didn't like Changsheng's way of passing the buck. She knew that many old men and old women had come to her recently, so it was not easy for him to refuse directly. It was better for him to say some nonsense to delay than to take them to see her elder sister Zhang Zhaodi.
"No one came to me for the longevity potion before, but why are there so many people coming these days?" Zhang Pandi leaned back in her chair and asked in confusion, "Could it be that the longevity potion with no side effects can be mass-produced?"
"I'm too lazy to think about it. Just give Heping a call and ask." After Zhang Zhaodi said this, she got up and went to the stove, lit a fire and boiled water to prepare what was next.
Zhang Pandi took out a thin Heping brand smartphone and called her third brother Zhang Heping as she was told.
After a moment, Zhang Pandi put her phone on the table and sneered at her elder sister: "Sister, guess what the reason is?"
"Just say it!" Zhang Zhaodi said unhappily, "Today, in order to deal with those people, I drank more than 20 cups of tea and went to the toilet seven or eight times. I was very upset!"
Zhang Pandi stopped playing tricks and said with disdain, "Heping said that a pharmaceutical factory in the country of Magnesium has copied the 100-year-old medicine and sells it for 3000 million magnesium yuan per bottle. Those people may have heard about it."
"3000 million magnesium yuan a stick!" Zhang Zhaodi turned around in surprise, looked at her second sister and asked, "Are those old men and women coming here to get a bargain?"
Nowadays, a person with a monthly income of 3000 yuan is considered a remarkable person, let alone million yuan!
In the opinion of those well-informed people, the Magnesium countrymen can sell the longevity potion for 3000 million magnesium yuan per bottle. Even if the Peace Group sells it cheaper, even if it is only 3 magnesium yuan per bottle, they can hardly afford it.
"What else did Heping say?" Zhang Zhaodi asked, and then went to the cupboard to look for noodles.
Zhang Pandi smiled and said, "He gave us 200 places to test the Life 100 potion and let us pick our own people to test it on, but the prerequisite is that those people must accept the side effects such as hair loss and tooth loss."
Zhang Zhaodi took a handful of noodles and walked to the stove, frowning and saying, "Today, three old men asked me if there was any longevity potion with no side effects."
"How dare they think so!" Zhang Pandi sneered, "Heping said that at present, we only have 100 life span potions. If you don't want to use it, forget it. I won't force you!"
