Chapter 867: Longevity Essence 100

Although the Shenzhen government has asked the Public Security Bureau to crack down on motorcycle thieves in advance, no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents, so there is an emergency plan.

Just look at this: at 1:29 p.m. on January 6, when the inspection team was sitting in the lobby of Shenzhen Smart City Management Center, looking at the real-time satellite map on the large screen in front of them and listening to the Shenzhen government officials introducing the development achievements of Shenzhen in recent years, an accident happened.

"Someone is snatching a bag over there!" An attendant in a blue jacket suddenly exclaimed, scaring the whole group of people in the palace.

Several other people in the inspection team saw this situation and pointed at the screen and warned the people around them.

"It was downstairs of that building. There were two people on a motorcycle. The one sitting in the back robbed a passerby's bag."

"They just said this was real-time satellite footage. In other words, the robbery just happened!"

“No matter how fast a city develops, public security must be maintained!”

……

While the inspection team was discussing this, the leader, Mr. Zheng, just had a sullen face and, like Mr. Hua next to him, did not express any opinions.

After the initial panic, the people in Shenzhen government remembered the emergency plan, and then all looked at Zhao Jianguo, the head of Shenzhen Smart City Management Center, because he was the first person in charge of the emergency plan here.

"Have you reported it to the alarm center?" Zhao Jianguo asked calmly without waiting for others to urge him.

"The crime scene was at the south gate of Shenzhen City Hospital. Two suspects, riding a black, unlicensed motorcycle, were fleeing northward via Jianshe Road."

"Satellites have locked onto the suspect, and surveillance cameras along the route have identified his facial features. The images and satellite location of the suspect have been shared with the 110 emergency response center. The Dongmen Police Station has received the alarm and is dispatching..."

"The images and satellite location of the case have been shared with the police officers' mobile phones. The suspect is currently 760 meters away."

"The suspect fled across regions, and the 110 emergency call center has notified nearby police stations for assistance."

"The Xinyuan Police Station reported to the 110 emergency call center that they have available officers to assist and are requesting a coordinated dispatch..."

14 minutes and 23 seconds after the incident, the police officers from Xinyuan Police Station, who arrived later, were the first to block the two motorcycle gangs because they were familiar with the nearby terrain.

This scene was transmitted in real time to the combined large screen in the lobby of the Smart City Management Center through three cameras.

At the same time, the leaders, Mr. Zheng and Mr. Hua, took the lead in applauding.

The inspection team and the accompanying pedestrians applauded even more enthusiastically. They had never expected that the suspect in this case could be caught so quickly.

The applause lasted for half a minute, and then Mr. Zheng waved his hand, signaling others to stop.

Then, everyone followed Mr. Zheng's gaze and looked at the combined large screen.

On the big screen, the police car from Dongmen Police Station, which had set out earlier, also arrived at the arrest scene.

"Turn on the sound!" Zhao Jianguo suddenly said.

Immediately afterwards, the voices of the police and suspects on the surveillance screen were heard.

“You bastards! You knew that the leaders above were coming to inspect our Shenzhen, yet you still dared to come out and discredit our Shenzhen!” A policeman who arrived later kicked one of the suspects in the thigh.

The suspect who was kicked fell to the ground and cried, "The police are beating people! Help! The police are killing people!"

The police officer who was collecting video evidence of the money and property in the stolen bag shouted, "Shut up! If you dare to shout again, I'll starve you for three days and then take your statements!"

"Great! The guy from your Xinyuan Police Station was 3 minutes late in arriving at the scene, but he managed to get ahead of us and steal the credit!" said the police officer from the Dongmen Police Station who had just gotten off the car, and took out cigarettes and gave a few to the others.

"Lao Qin, we are all serving the people. Don't dwell on your achievements all the time."

"Alright, Chief Li, you're very conscious. How about handing these two little thieves over to us to take back?"

"Ahem..." The person in charge of the Shenzhen government coughed, gave Zhao Jianguo a look, and then apologized to Mr. Zheng and Mr. Hua:

"I have to admit my mistakes to the leaders. We have been focusing on economic development in recent years and have been relatively lax in our management of the influx of foreign populations, which has led to occasional robberies like this."

"However, please rest assured, leaders, we will also require grassroots police stations and neighborhood committees to conduct regular inspections of migrant populations in their respective jurisdictions."

"We will also strengthen the registration of migrant workers and provide them with employment guidance to reduce related criminal cases."

They said they were admitting their mistakes, but in fact they were demonstrating the grassroots work that Shenzhen government usually does.

After receiving the look from the person in charge of the Shenzhen government, Zhao Jianguo whispered to his men, turned off the sound, and switched the screen back to the bird's-eye view of the Shenzhen City Hospital.

Elder Zheng gave the person in charge of the Shenzhen government a few words of encouragement, then beckoned Zhao Jianguo over and said with a smile, "I just thought that this thief-catching scene was a pre-planned scene. I didn't expect that this surveillance camera could also turn on the sound."

"Comrade Jianguo, I'm deeply impressed by the system at the Shenzhen Smart City Management Center. Is this how you usually assist the police with their cases?"

Because the inspection team has been staying in the villa area of Shenzhen Peace University in recent days and has met Zhao Jianguo several times, that's why Mr. Zheng called Zhao Jianguo that instead of Director Zhao.

Zhao Jianguo smiled and responded, "Mr. Zheng, to be honest, this happened quite unexpectedly."

"Normally, if a robbery like this happens, we usually only know about it after the victim calls the police. We can't discover it right away like we did just now."

"So, when a police report is brought to our attention, we can only retrieve the surveillance footage and then follow the suspect's escape route."

"If you encounter a road section with a camera that has been damaged by someone or accidentally, you may lose track of the suspect."

"However, Consultant Zhang said that once Peace Aerospace's space cloud computers and space cloud servers are deployed, they will develop an artificial intelligence system to assist us in 24-hour monitoring of city dynamics."

"When such a case occurs again, even if we don't discover it immediately, artificial intelligence will be able to help us detect it in time and issue early warnings immediately after the incident, without having to wait for the victim to call the police."

Mr. Zheng had just visited the Peace Aerospace Corporation a few days ago, so he knew about the space-based computing projects there and had also heard people there explain what artificial intelligence is.

He looked at the others and smiled, "A few years ago, I visited Higashima Toto and saw their tall buildings, the hustle and bustle of traffic, and all those advanced equipment."

"I was thinking at the time, if the Japanese can do it, we can definitely do it too, and we can do it better than them!"

"Shenzhen has given me hope of surpassing foreign countries!" After expressing his feelings, Mr. Zheng talked about the issue of public security and encouraged everyone in the Shenzhen government.

Before leaving, Zhao Jianguo said to the inspection team in front of everyone: "Dear leaders, you have visited our Smart City Management Center today. Can you suggest to the capital that they also develop a similar system?"

Just when some people didn't understand why Zhao Jianguo made such a rash proposal and wondered if he wanted to use this method to transfer back to the capital to oversee the construction of the smart city management center system, Zhao Jianguo continued:

"If the capital had such a smart city management system, Consultant Zhang wouldn't be treated as a murder suspect!"

"Treating Consultant Zhang as a murder suspect?" Mr. Zheng was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Mr. Hua. Obviously, no one had mentioned this to him before.

Mr. Hua hadn't expected Zhao Jianguo to hold it in for so long, only now speaking up for Zhang Heping. He smiled and said, "This matter is a bit complicated. I'll explain it to you slowly once we get in the car."

The person in charge of the Shenzhen government frowned. He had heard about this matter and thought it had nothing to do with him. He didn't expect Zhao Jianguo to bring it up at this critical moment.

In this way, some people will inevitably think that the Shenzhen government is standing up for Zhang Heping, and will not simply think that this is just Zhao Jianguo's private behavior.

"Mr. Hua, I heard that when the Capital City Bureau was investigating and collecting evidence, they took statements from Consultant Zhang's entire family, young and old, but did not take statements from his neighbors. I wonder if this is true?" The person in charge of the Shenzhen government was decisive and directly acted as Zhao Jianguo's assistant.

Since they are forced to stand on the opposite side, the person in charge of the Shenzhen government will naturally have to be more proactive. It should be much smoother to ask Consultant Zhang for investment in the future.

You know, the Heping Group has invested 100 billion and 200 billion magnesium yuan in the Magic City, which has made everyone in the Shenzhen government jealous!

"This is very against the procedure, according to..." The person in charge of the Shenzhen Municipal Bureau was about to chime in when he was interrupted by Mr. Hua.

"Okay, it has been confirmed that this is a misunderstanding." Mr. Hua said simply and invited Mr. Zheng to go out together.

Just as Mr. Hua was escorting Mr. Zheng to the back seat of his car, Secretary Chen came over and whispered to Mr. Hua, "The Hijima Aso couple are here again. They're waiting for Consultant Zhang at the Peace Hotel."

~

Because the inspection team was staying at Shenzhen Peace College, when the Aso couple and their people came, they were driven aside before they could even get close to the school gate.

Finally, I got through to Zhang Heping on the phone and was able to enter the Peace Hotel diagonally across the street and wait in the lobby.

When asked why the couple did not make an appointment in advance, they would call Zhang Heping every time they arrived at the place.

The main reason is that it is useless to make an appointment in advance because Zhang Heping’s previous replies were all that he didn’t have time.

Later, the Aso couple and those Hong Kong businessmen learned their lesson. As long as they went to Zhang Heping's vicinity and called him to ask, they could usually get a meeting with Zhang Heping in his spare time.

For example, just now, Zhang Heping was taking a walk after dinner when he received a call from Mrs. Aso, who had not contacted him for a long time. He then agreed to the couple's request to meet.

There are still a few weapons expert groups at the Peace Hotel who have not left, so there is a group of guards guarding outside the hotel.

However, the number of experts now is much smaller than when martial law was first imposed, so the security pressure is not that great. That is why Zhang Heping asked the Aso couple to wait in the hall here.

As for the other people they brought, they could only wait in the car on the side of the road.

"Mr. Zhang!" The Aso couple, who were waiting at the hotel entrance, saw Zhang Heping approaching and hurriedly bowed over 90 degrees to greet him.

"Have you eaten?" Zhang Heping asked casually and walked past the Aso couple.

His behavior is very impolite in Japan!

But the Aso couple didn't dare to correct him. Instead, Aso Dalang excitedly followed and said, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Zhang. We just had some bread on the way."

Zhang Heping was just asking casually. This is very common in the mainland, and he didn't know what they were so excited about.

"A pot of black tea!" Zhang Heping said to the lobby manager who was jogging over, and made the middle-aged female manager stop.

The three of them sat down in the lounge area beside the hall. Zhang Heping asked without any greetings, "What brings you here today?"

Upon hearing the question, Mrs. Aso hurriedly took out an exquisite hard-shell paper box with "Shouyuandian 100" printed on it from her bag.

After she opened the box, she took out a small hollow gold box the size of a palm.

When the hollow gold box was opened, a small glass injection was seen lying on the golden satin inside.

When Zhang Heping saw the name on the box, he guessed that it was a replica of the Longevity 100 potion, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Seeing that Zhang Heping wasn't very interested, Aso Taro hurriedly explained his intention, "Mr. Zhang, although you've made public the production technology for the 100-year-old potion, the Heping Group has applied for patents for the potion in various countries."

"We're here with representatives from Mitsui Pharmaceuticals. We'd like to apply to you for technical licensing for the Shouyuan 100 drug."

"The relevant licensing fees will definitely satisfy you!"

Zhang Heping picked up the hard-shell box and took a look at it. Then he put it down and picked up the cup of black tea that the lobby manager had just poured for him. He said calmly, "The name has been changed. Don't use the word Shouyuan."

The technology for making the 100-year-old life potion has been public for so long, and they only just now thought of applying for patent authorization.

Zhang Heping could see through the Japanese people's plans with his toes.

It’s simply that many countries are imitating the Shouyuan 100 medicine, and Japanese generic drugs cannot compete.

Then, thinking that the Peace Group did not sell the 100-year life potion to the outside world, he wanted to use a similar drug name and the technology authorization of the Peace Group to get a "genuine" product and grab a place in the international market.

"Hey!" Although he didn't get the upper hand on the drug name, Aso Dalang still hurriedly responded, then asked cautiously, "So what do you think about the technology licensing issue..."

Zhang Heping took a sip of tea and said meaningfully, "Heping Group has only applied for a patent for the Shouyuan Pharmacy trademark and has no control over the so-called technology licensing."

When the Heping Group was promoting the Shouyuan medicine, it only applied for related drug name trademark patents in various countries. How could the Japanese not know about it?

The Aso couple exchanged a glance, and then Mrs. Aso asked tentatively, "Mr. Zhang, can Mitsui Pharmaceuticals publicly announce that it has obtained the relevant technology license?"

"Heping Group does not have relevant technical patents. We can't and won't do anything about it!" Zhang Heping patiently reminded him again.

The Aso couple now understands that Mitsui Pharmaceuticals can sell generic drugs of Shouyuan 100 under the guise of technology licensing, and the Heping Group will not care about the matter and will not charge licensing fees.

Thinking more deeply, when Zhang Heping first announced the advantages and disadvantages of the 100-year life potion to the world, he said that he would not sell this kind of potion with many side effects, but would only provide it free of charge to applicants who voluntarily wanted to try it.

It seems that Zhang Heping really doesn't want to get any benefit from the 100-year lifespan potion.

Although the Aso couple suspected Zhang Heping's intention, they did not dare to ask him directly about this question which was doomed to have no answer.

Once the technology licensing issue is resolved, the only remaining issue is the trademark issue.

Aso Taro spoke again, "Zhang-san, Mitsui Pharmaceuticals has renamed this drug 'Longevity Agent 100'. What do you think?"

"Just don't use the word 'lifespan'!" Zhang Heping emphasized again.

The reason why the Japanese changed the name of the medicine is because the two words "Shou Yuan" in Japanese happen to infringe on the trademark patent of Heping Group.

"Hey!" Aso Taro hurriedly bowed in response.

Mrs. Aso saw that her business was done and worried that Zhang Heping would get up and leave, so she hurriedly told him the second reason for her visit. "Mr. Zhang, I'd like to buy a potion that will extend my father's lifespan by 120 days. Do you think it's possible?"
