Chapter 849: There is a small problem with the life span 160 potion
"Advisor Zhang is back!"
Upon hearing this, the dozen or so old men and women sitting outside Mr. Hua's villa all looked towards Villa No. 1.
Seeing two old men getting up and preparing to go to the Zhang family to continue making friends, an old man holding a palm leaf fan frowned and said, "It's useless to go! Haven't you realized that this guy is deliberately avoiding us?"
"I won't hide!" Another old man in a white vest looked at the Zhang family villa and frowned, "I guess he is fed up with us!"
"Isn't it all the same?" An old man smoking a welding cigarette said impatiently, "Anyway, they just don't want to see us!"
"Why should he see us?" The old man in the white vest spoke calmly, but the worry between his brows became more and more intense. "If it weren't for Elder Hua bringing us in this time, we wouldn't even be able to pass the school gate!"
The old man holding the palm leaf fan said in a deep voice: "It's normal for him to ignore us retired old men who have no power or influence!"
"If he really ignores us, it will be easier to deal with!" An old lady in a white shirt frowned and said, "I called Director Wang this morning, and she gave the same reply. Now there is only Shouyuan 100 potion. If you are not afraid of sequelae, go to the Cosmetology Department of Heping Hospital outside and fill out an application form."
The old man in the white vest frowned and said nothing. He suddenly felt that his chances of getting the new longevity potion by gathering with these people were slim.
After all, even Elder Hua and Elder Li haven’t used the longevity potion yet!
……
At the Zhang family villa, Tang Xin saw Zhang Heping wash his hands and sit down at the dining table. She then asked, "Honey, how did the test of the 160-life potion go?"
Zhang Heping glanced at his father-in-law Tang Ming and said casually, "We are still conducting cell testing. It will probably take another two or three months before clinical trials."
Hearing that it would take so long to test the drug in real life, Tang Xin's expression relaxed a lot and he was no longer as anxious as before.
Mother-in-law Xu Jiefeng said, "Heping, can you tell the people in Villa No. 4 about the time? Otherwise, they will come here every day to inquire about it."
"Okay!" Zhang Heping nodded slightly.
Tang Ming opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he remembered that he had wrongly accused Zhang Heping of killing the second brother, he closed his mouth again.
Because of the Tang Lao Er incident, Zhang Heping rarely communicates with Tang Ming now.
If Tang Ren and Tang Xin hadn't asked Tang Ming to come and live with him, he would have returned to Hong Kong Island long ago!
Everyone knew that the reason why he came to live with his third son-in-law was because of the new longevity potion.
But Tang Ming knew that it didn't matter whether he lived here or not; his third daughter Tang Xin would definitely help him get his share.
Unlike those old men and women in Villa No. 4 who are not related to the family, even if they come here with a thick face, they may not be able to get it.
The main reason why he stayed here was because of the descendants left by his elder brother Tang Zhi.
During the time when Tang Ming was distracted, Zhang Heping had quickly finished his lunch and went out to the laboratory again.
What Zhang Heping didn't tell them was that there was a problem during the testing of the Shouyuan 160 drug, which led to the delay of the clinical trial.
Even if I tell them, they still won’t understand.
Also, Zhang Heping had not previously said when the clinical trial would begin, so no further explanation was given.
When Zhang Heping arrived at the biological genetics laboratory building, the biology and genetics experts were still discussing the failure of the cell experiment.
"Mrs. Zheng's group of cells are still dividing, which means that the Lifespan 160 potion is indeed effective."
"Then how do you explain the collapse of the other elderly's test cells?"
"I think what Elder Lu said before is more likely. Why don't we collect some flesh and blood tissues from people who tested the 100-year life potion?"
"If you use the 160-year life span potion, you also need to use the 100-year life span potion first. The cost of the medicine is going to be huge!"

Governor's House, Central, Hong Kong Island.
“Whoever controls the oil controls all nations; whoever controls the food controls humanity; whoever controls the currency controls the global economy.”
After reading this sentence, the Governor of Hong Kong put down the book in his hand, then looked at the representatives of the Omei family present, and smiled faintly: "I believe everyone has heard of Henry's words."
"The question is, if Zhang Heping controls the technology to extend human lifespan, what can he control?"
"Wealth! Power!" Shen Bi, who was standing on the other side, continued, "As long as he can firmly control this technology, all the powerful people in the world will have to curry favor with him!"
"I received the information!" The DuPont family representative frowned and said, "He has already shared the life-extending potion technology with the mainland. We don't have to curry favor with him. We can also make friends with the mainland's capital!"
Shen Bi sneered: "If it is really as you said, why is Mr. Dupont still sitting here? You should go to the capital of the mainland!"
The Governor did not want to embarrass these people, so he directly explained the reason why he had gathered everyone together, "I believe you have also discovered that the Peace Group does not have much investment overseas."
"Everyone should be very clear about the reason. This has a lot to do with the sanctions and restrictions imposed by other countries following the lead of the Magnesium country."
"If the major families want to obtain some technology from the Peace Group in the future, I suggest that you go back and ask if you can get Magnesium and other countries to withdraw those two joint statements!"
The representative of the Morgan family asked in confusion: "Didn't you Eagle Country not join the joint statement just to befriend Zhang Heping alone?"
……
"Do you think that if the Eagle Country guys don't join the joint statement, they will be favored by the Peace Group?" Aso Taro stood by the window with a telescope, looking at the China World Trade Center in the distance, and said with a disdainful tone:
"If they had stood on the side of the Peace Group from the beginning, there would still be a chance!"
"Unfortunately, they also stood on the side of the Magnesium Lao and fought against the Peace Group together!"
“So, they did not join the joint statement this time just because they did not want their relationship with the Peace Group to deteriorate further.”
A middle-aged man wearing a dark grey kimono bowed and said, "Hey! Thank you for your advice, sir!"
"We sent you to Shenzhen City mainly to get you close to the factories under the Peace Group. We hope you can get some outsourcing tasks from them and learn about their advanced technology from the side!" Aso Taro put away the telescope, glanced at the Japanese people beside him, and then said:
"Don't waste your energy asking about other things that you shouldn't be asking about or considering."
"But, sir!" The head of the Sakura Chamber of Commerce, who was standing at the back, said with a serious face:
"According to our investigation, the factories invested by Peace Group in the mainland all have shares held by the mainland military. All outsourced tasks are handled by factories in the mainland, so it is difficult for us to intervene!"
Aso Dalang frowned and said, "If it was that easy, why didn't they send you guys to lurk here? Wouldn't the six major merchant groups send people directly?"
The head of the Sakura Chamber of Commerce saw that Vice Minister Aso was angry, and hurriedly said, "Sir, that's not what I meant."
"What I mean is that the Peace Group has acquired those small factories on the eastern coast of the mainland. If we can expand our business to the eastern part of the mainland, perhaps we can better complete the task you assigned us!"
When Aso Dalang heard this, he also remembered this information and frowned and asked, "How much budget do you need?"
……
Under the distant watch of various forces, Zhang Heping brought his family to the China World Trade Center to attend the 4th Peace Prize Ceremony.
In the previous three Peace Prizes, Zhang Heping gave more weight to the winners' majors.
To outsiders, it may be related to the quality and influence of the paper, but only Zhang Heping knows that he has mixed a lot of personal subjective ideas into it.
This year, although Zhang Heping also mixed in his personal ideas, there were only 1098 foreigners among the 14 winners selected.
However, this time he did not favor one subject over another, but treated aerospace, physical chemistry, biomedicine, and mechanical intelligence subjects equally.
Therefore, the issues discussed at the exchange meeting before this award ceremony were quite diverse.
Even though Zhang Heping had discussed the issue with them a day in advance, the winners still had a lot of questions, as if they were determined to stump Zhang Heping.
However, Zhang Heping and most of the participants knew that those problems were technical problems that needed to be solved urgently.
For this reason, after the meeting, Mr. Hua also asked ATV to cut the video of the technical discussion session to avoid exposing certain confidential domestic research.
As for the two award-winning physics experts from the United States, there is nothing we can do about their mouths.
As the Peace Prize Ceremony came to an end, the rain in the mainland has weakened a lot, and the weather has cleared up in various places, waiting for the flood to recede.
Once the dark clouds dispersed, the disaster-stricken scenes taken by the navigation satellite appeared clearly in the eyes of the world, a vast swamp!
While Chinese people abroad were organizing donations of money and materials, many regions in China were also spontaneously organizing donations of money and materials, striving to rebuild the disaster-stricken areas as quickly as possible.
In accordance with Zhang Heping's request, Chen Shuting sent people from the Heping Group's investment department and public relations department to the East China region, preparing to invest in local factories and help them resume production as soon as possible.
It can't be said to be taking advantage of the situation. If the Heping Group doesn't help them, they can only apply for funds from above to repair the factory buildings, equipment, etc.
However, this time the flood disaster covers such a large area, and factories in various places are applying for funds. It is hard to say who will be allocated funds first and who will be allocated later.
As usual, Zhang Heping left business matters to his concubine Chen Shuting, and he only controlled the direction.
Zhang Heping would only give some advice if Chen Shuting encountered a problem that she could not handle.
Over the years, the two of them have already formed a tacit understanding, and Zhang Heping is confident in letting her continue to manage the Heping Group.
Tuesday, October 7nd.
Mr. Zhuang, who had also used the Lifespan 120 potion, was invited by Director Wang to stay temporarily at Shenzhen Peace College.
Also coming were Grandma Yang and her granddaughter Zhuang Lin.
"Heping, you are going to be an uncle soon, did you know that?" As soon as Old Lady Yang got out of the car, she saw Zhang Heping and others standing next to the villa, and her heart was very happy.
She had heard in the capital that some old colleagues had shamelessly come here to wait for the qualification to use the new longevity potion, but were not well received by Zhang Heping.
Zhang Heping smiled and greeted the people getting off the bus before replying, "My mom called me this morning and wanted me to go back and help keep an eye on things!"
"I would like to go back, but I have encountered a difficult problem in the laboratory. Look, even Master Zhuang and you have been invited to come over!"
"Heping!" Grandpa Zhuang extended his hand to Zhang Heping and said with a smile, "I can't remember many things from before. It was your grandmother Yang and the others who told me about it."
"Let's get to know Zhuang Guangping again, a retired old man!"
Zhang Heping had already learned from a phone call made by Grandma Yang that as Grandpa Zhuang's body became younger, his symptoms of Alzheimer's disease were alleviated. Although he had forgotten many things in the past, his memory had recently returned to normal.
"Zhang Heping, a capitalist, are you afraid of getting to know me?" Zhang Heping joked.
Uncle Zhuang held Zhang Heping's right hand and said with a smile: "I have been reading the newspaper recently. You can't fool me. If all the capitalists in the world were like you, the world would be truly peaceful!"
After some pleasantries, Zhang Heping prepared to lead them to Villa No. 1.
"Peace!" Grandma Yang, who looked much older than Grandpa Zhuang, glanced at the men, women, old and young standing near and far around her and spoke again:
"Let's get down to business first. You called your uncle Zhuang over so urgently, it must be something urgent."
Zhang Heping put away his smile, waved to two female students in white coats, and said, "Grandma Yang, Uncle Zhuang, we are all family, I won't be polite with you."
"We encountered some technical problems when testing the new life-extending potion here, and we need some of Mr. Zhuang's flesh and blood to participate in the experiment."
"Don't worry, the wound is very small!"
"Hey! What's my problem? You saved my life, so what's the big deal about a little blood and flesh?" Uncle Zhuang saw the two girls in white coats taking out iodine, cotton swabs, syringes and other items, and said with a smile:
"When I was in the war, a large piece of flesh was scraped off my thigh by shrapnel..."
Mr. Zhuang took away the cotton swab that the little girl had pressed on him, looked at the sesame-sized bloody hole on his right index finger, and asked in confusion, "Is this the end?"
Zhang Heping smiled and said, "If everything goes well, this little bit of flesh and blood will be enough."
Assistant Lao Lu saw the little bit of skin and flesh in the culture dish and said to Zhang Heping excitedly: "Teacher Zhang, let's go back to the laboratory first!"
"You guys go ahead and do your work, I'll be right there!" Zhang Heping waved to Old Lu, and then extended his hand to Grandpa Zhuang, Grandma Yang and the others, "This way, please!"
When Grandma Yang saw that most of the men, women, young and old around her had left at once, she realized that those people were laboratory staff, all waiting here for Lao Zhuang's flesh and blood.
It seems that this matter is really urgent.
Just now, Old Lady Yang was still worried about how much blood would be drawn from Lao Zhuang for the experiment.
As a result, when she saw that the two girls had only touched a small amount of flesh, she suddenly felt as if she had been deceived from afar.
Old Lady Yang retracted her gaze and smiled at Zhang Heping, "Heping, why don't you go about your business first? I know your father-in-law, mother-in-law, and Ah Xin!"
"That's fine!" Zhang Heping glanced at the old men and women who hadn't left, leaned close to Grandma Yang's ear and whispered:
"Do you know any of these people? Please help me persuade them."
"I'm not chasing them away, just stop hanging around me all day."
Grandma Yang smiled and agreed, "Your father-in-law and mother-in-law haven't used the new longevity potion yet. I will let them know how far they are."
Zhang Heping smiled and said, "Auntie Wang should have told you that the 100-year life potion is easy to produce. I didn't restrict them from testing the medicine."
"If the new longevity potion can also be mass-produced, then naturally there will be no restrictions on their drug testing, don't you think?"
"I understand!" Grandma Yang said with a smile, "I promise to convince them!"
