Chapter 832 Another New Year’s Eve
"NMN100 drug delays aging by increasing NAD levels in the body, promoting cellular energy metabolism, regulating telomere length, and improving mitochondrial function."
"As early as 30 years ago, Ms. Champon, Mr. Weir and Mr. Mandela discovered that NMN can provide a kind of cellular energy required to activate ribozymes. Therefore, NMN100 is not a generic drug of Shouyuan 100 as rumored by the outside world."
"According to the NMN100 drug research and development team, Shouyuan 100 drug only acts on the telomeres at the ends of chromosomes, which can make cells 10 years younger; NMN100 drug can not only extend telomeres, but also improve mitochondria at the same time, which can make cells 13 years younger!"
……
After Mrs. Zheng walked into the meeting room with a smile, she saw that everyone was watching the TV on the wall. She couldn't help but take a look and asked in confusion, "Hasn't CNN in Magnesium been reporting on the Middle East war 24 hours a day recently? Why is it playing drug ads?"
"This is not an advertisement!" Mr. Hua, who was sitting on the sofa in the conference room, frowned and looked at the drug tester on TV, and responded: "The Chinese are hiding the fact that NMN100 is a generic version of Shouyuan 100."
When the other old men and women in the meeting room saw Old Lady Zheng come in, they all asked about her recent health condition. Some female comrades even came over to ask about private issues such as menstruation.
"Humph!" Elder Hua pointed at the screen on the TV and sneered at Elder Li and the others beside him, "You say it's not a generic version of the Life 100 Potion, but even the side effects of hair loss and tooth loss are the same!"
Mr. Li laughed and said, "The guy from Magnesium took off his pants to fart!"
On the other side, Mr. Tang smiled and asked, "This NMN100 drug sells for 3000 million magnesium yuan per bottle. How much does Consultant Zhang plan to sell it for?"
Elder Hua shook his head and said, "He is still developing a longevity potion with no side effects, and has no plans to sell it for the time being."
An old man nearby asked in confusion, "Didn't he buy a pharmaceutical factory in Hong Kong Island and prepare to mass-produce a 100-year life potion?"
Mr. Hua knew that Zhang Heping had deliberately leaked the 100-year life potion to the magnesium countrymen, but it was not easy to tell such a thing to outsiders.
Zhang Heping told Mr. Hua that it was a sign of trust in him.
If Elder Hua told this to other people, not to mention how outsiders would view Zhang Heping's intention of deliberately leaking the 100-year life potion, the trust would be gone.
After all, Mr. Hua has a lot of autonomy and not everything needs to be reported.
When the others saw that Mr. Hua did not answer, they thought it involved some confidential project, so they changed the subject and asked Zhang Heping what his reaction was to this generic drug and whether he would respond to the foreign media.
Zhang Heping, who was far away in Shenzhen, had no reaction at all to this expected event.
If his concubine Chen Shuting hadn't asked him about it, and his two sisters hadn't called to ask about it, he wouldn't have bothered to mention the generic drug from Magnesium.
If we really have to talk about reaction, Zhang Heping closed the space capsule remote control center and sealed the biological genetic laboratory building, allowing relevant biological and genetic experts to go home for the New Year. I don't know if this counts.
As for the Peace Healthcare Medical Research Institute in Central, Hong Kong Island, since there were many foreigners there who did not have the habit of celebrating the Spring Festival, Zhang Heping allowed them to continue mapping the human genome in the laboratory.
Influenced by the NMN100 drug produced by Meiguo Lao, my father-in-law Tang Ming and my eldest brother-in-law Tang Ren and their family also ran to Shenzhen, preparing to celebrate the New Year here.
Although they lived in the Peace Hotel, they stayed in Villa No. 1 of the Peace College during the day and asked indirect questions about the sales plan of the longevity potion.
In addition, the heads of leading Hong Kong business families such as the Ho family, the Guo family, the Bao family, and the Rong family all called Zhang Heping to inquire about the sales plan for the longevity potion.
They were obviously shocked by the price of the generic drug from China, which cost 3000 million magnesium yuan per bottle, and they came up with the idea of distributing the Life 100 medicine.
Unfortunately, Zhang Heping’s rhetoric to the outside world was that the side effects of the 100-year longevity potion were too great, so it would not be sold to the public for the time being and would have to wait until a new longevity potion was successfully developed.
Compared with the leading Hong Kong businessmen who have a private phone number of Zhang Heping, other small Hong Kong businessmen can only go to Tingmei Trading or Peace Plaza to inquire about such information.
February 2th, Wednesday morning.
Thanks to the old men and women who wanted to use the longevity potion, Zhang Zhaodi and Zhang Pandidi took a day off in advance and flew to Shenzhen Bao'an Airport with Chang Xing, whose skin had become much tanned.
When Zhang Pandi saw that the only people who came to pick her up at the airport were her mother Ma Xiuzhen and her second daughter Zhang Ting, she couldn't help but ask about the whereabouts of her eldest son Zhang Yi.
"They went to Hong Kong Island early in the morning!" Zhang Ting held her mother Zhang Pandi's arm and whispered, "Brother Bei's company had some problems, and my brother and sister-in-law went to help."
Zhang Pandi asked doubtfully, "What's the problem?"
"First, the management embezzled public funds, and then it was about the company's business optimization or something. I'm not too sure." Zhang Ting smiled and said, "Why don't you wait for my brother to come back and ask him."
Zhang Pandi didn't dwell on this question, and instead asked, "Where is your brother's father-in-law, Professor Luo?"
Zhang Ting replied: "Uncle Luo has been in Dapeng Peninsula recently and has not come back at night."
With the help of several bodyguards, the suitcases dragged by Chang Sheng, Zhang Yong and Chang Xing were put into the car, and then they were seen leaving the airport quickly in the car.
When they arrived at Villa No. 1 of Shenzhen Peace College, they found that there were a lot of people gathered outside the door.
Zhang Zhaodi and Zhang Pandi recognized a small number of members of the Tang family, but they could not identify most of them and could not remember their names.
It was not until Xu Jiefeng came forward to introduce the two parties that the awkwardness of not being able to call each other's names and not knowing how to address each other was resolved.
Zhang Heping was asked to go to the Hong Kong Island Peace Hospital to save Taiwan. Tang Xin was standing by the artificial lake at this time, talking to her father and elder brother about something, with a look of resistance on her face.
After the operation, Zhang Heping went to his stepmother's investment company, and then went to Zhang Bei's Hong Kong Island Technology Company for a while. It was not until the evening that he returned to Shenzhen with his concubine and a group of juniors.
Because there are quite a lot of people in the Tang family, the Zhang and Tang families have been having meals at the Peace Hotel in recent days.
Then, the question arises!
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Where shall we have the New Year's Eve dinner?
The person who asked this question was Zhang Feng, the fourth girl who was pushed out by Tang Xin.
After she asked this question, she fell silent and just focused on eating a bowl of fried rice.
Upon hearing this, the others looked towards Zhang Heping intentionally or unintentionally.
"Where else can we eat?" Zhang Heping said casually, as if he didn't notice the gazes of the people around him: "I'll have dinner here tomorrow, then go back to make dumplings and watch the Spring Festival Gala."
Tang Xin secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this answer.
Her father Tang Ming and elder brother Tang Ren came to talk to her today, mainly to arrange to have the New Year's Eve dinner at the restaurant.
Because Tang Ming called the three widows of Tang Yi's family and several children and grandchildren over, hoping that they would slowly ease the relationship with Zhang Heping's family.
When people get old, they always want to get their family together and unite to deal with things happening outside.
Tang Ming’s idea is very good, but unfortunately the two brothers Tang Ren and Tang Yi have separated long ago, and their morale has also dispersed!
Look, it was the next day, New Year’s Eve, when we were having lunch.
Before Zhang Heping said anything when he saw the two concubines infected with AIDS in Tang Yi's family, the women in Tang Ren's family had already sat at the next table next to them as if they were avoiding the plague. Their complaints could be heard from a long distance away.
"They are infected with an infectious disease and yet they come out to harm others. I really don't know what they are thinking!"
"That's right. If you have a disease like that, it's better to stay in the hospital. Not only will you not infect others, but you may even be cured one day."
"I don't know if you've been to the infectious disease department of Newtown Hospital. The AIDS there... Never mind. I have no appetite for food anymore."
……
Tang Ming asked Tang Hai, the second son of Tang Yi, to sit with him at the last seat at the main table. Zhang Heping did not comment on this.
However, the other children and grandchildren of Tang Yi's family also kept a distance from the two aunts infected with AIDS, with disgust on their faces, but they did not say a word because of the presence of Tang Ming, Zhang Heping and others.
The families of Zhang Zhaodi and Zhang Pandi didn't know who was infected with AIDS. But when Zhang Yi, who came in later, and his wife Luo Yi sat in the empty seats next to the two concubines, Zhang Bei hurriedly called them aside and asked the waiter to serve another table of food.
At this point, the scandal of Tang Laoer's family began to spread quietly to the Zhang family.
When Tang Ming saw Tang Yi's third concubine Wang Xue and fifth concubine Zhao Jing sitting at a table together and no one else was willing to sit over there, he thought to himself that it was a bad idea.
After Zhang Bei called the Zhang family away and was unwilling to sit at the same table with the two concubines, Tang Ming didn't know what to do for a moment and could only let it go.
Xu Jiefeng wanted to sit over and ease the atmosphere, but her daughter Tang Xin held her back and prevented her from taking action.
Tang Xin’s idea was very simple. What if Xu Jiefeng got infected? How would she cope with it then?
Her husband Zhang Heping has a mild mysophobia!
After lunch, I could barely hear the whispers and there was no atmosphere of a family reunion dinner at all.
Just when the two concubines were so depressed that they wanted to jump off the roof of the hotel, Zhang Heping stood up and said, "Enjoy your meal, everyone." Then he called the two concubines out and went straight to the Heping Hospital across the street.
Zhang Heping walked to the hospital entrance, turned around and looked at the two haggard old ladies who were slowly following behind him, and said casually: "I'll take you for a check-up!"
Fifth concubine Zhao Jing responded lightly, and third concubine Wang Xue just followed her into the hospital numbly.
The reason why Zhang Heping asked them to come to the hospital was mainly because he thought about the fact that these concubines helped take care of Tang Xin during the years when she was pregnant.
Even though they just chatted with Tang Xin at that time, Zhang Heping was grateful.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Heping could tolerate Tang Yi's family's repeated offenses!
Because Zhang Heping personally brought people to check, the medical staff who were originally on lunch break immediately became alert and called the infectious disease department and related auxiliary inspection personnel with a few calls.
"I find that you infectious disease department people have become lazy!" Zhang Heping was waiting for the blood report in the doctor's office. Looking at the increasing number of medical staff, he casually said, "Recently, has anyone published a paper on the World Internet Forum?"
The director of the infectious disease department hastily defended himself, "Teacher Zhang, we have recently been studying the biology and genetics textbooks you compiled, and we are wondering if we can develop some drugs from the genetic level to deal with those difficult viruses."
"Yes!" Zhang Heping nodded slightly, "For general questions, you can go to ask Professor Lu and Professor Tang for advice."
The director of the infectious disease department quickly agreed, and then shamelessly asked some complicated questions, which made Zhang Heping shake his head.
In the other restaurant, after Chen Shuting left the table, she went to the lobby to call the person in charge of the restaurant and asked him to be personally responsible for the disinfection of the restaurant, especially the table where the two concubines had sat.
Although Zhang Heping had told his two wives and children how AIDS was transmitted, this disease was as disgusting as other sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis and gonorrhea.
Even if the two concubines did not have any affairs and were purely victims, it is still impossible for outsiders to accept them calmly.
Even the medical staff in the Peace Hospital across the street, after hearing that the two old ladies had AIDS, immediately took personal protective measures and were fully armed to meet the challenge of HIV.
After the banquet, Tang Ming, Xu Jiefeng and Tang Xin went to the hospital across the street.
When they saw the third concubine Wang Xue and the fifth concubine Zhao Jing admitted to the infectious disease ward and learned that Zhang Heping wanted to keep them in the hospital for observation for a few days, they couldn't help but feel relieved.
It seems like he is glad that he doesn't have to have dinner with these two people in the evening...
"After HIV enters the human lymph nodes, it can be detected. Why can't the virus be effectively eliminated? Instead, it continues to invade the human immune system and slowly reduces the CD4+T lymphocytes in the human body!"
“It’s right to learn new knowledge, but we also need to study existing problems and find ways to solve them…”
Tang Ming came to the door of the infectious disease doctor's office which was blocked by medical staff. He only heard Zhang Heping's voice coming from inside but could not see him.
Tang Ming originally wanted to have tea with Zhang Heping and have Tang Hai and the others apologize to Zhang Heping on behalf of their father, but Zhang Heping was teaching students here and didn't give him any chance at all.
When it was time for dinner, Tang Ming helplessly discovered that Zhang Heping was still busy with his work in the hospital, and he even asked someone to tell him that he would go home to eat dumplings later.
Tang Ming lost his temper at this.
After all, it was the two concubines Tang Ming had called who came over to have lunch with Zhang Heping and affected the atmosphere of the reunion.
What made Tang Ming even more helpless was that everyone in the Zhang family seemed to have discussed it beforehand. They ate a little casually, didn't drink any wine, and just chatted for a while.
Then they found an excuse that the Spring Festival Gala was about to begin and left the Peace Hotel.
As a result, when they went to the Heping Hospital across the street to inquire, Zhang Heping had already gone home.
So, when Ma Xiuzhen, Zhang Bing, Tang Xin and others returned to Villa No. 1, they saw Zhang Heping and a group of bodyguards and guards making dumplings at several round tables outside the door. There were two large steaming iron pots made of red bricks next to them.
"Go wash your hands quickly and come over to help make dumplings!" Zhang Heping greeted his family members who had returned, and then talked to the bodyguards and security guards about the war in the Middle East, and the weapons, equipment and tactics that the American men had already exposed.
A middle-aged guard interrupted and asked, "Advisor Zhang, according to you, as long as we can defend against the precision strikes, electronic jamming, and reconnaissance and surveillance of the Chinese, and hit their stealth fighters, cruise missiles, and armed helicopters, we can be invincible?"
"The best defense is offense!" Zhang Heping said to the retired soldiers casually, "Have you ever heard of the Murong family's unique martial arts in the novel Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, which is to give someone a taste of their own medicine?"
"I know, time has changed!" The young guard asked hurriedly, "Advisor Zhang, do you mean that we can also use electronic information tactics against the Magnesium people?"
Zhang Heping glanced at the two brothers-in-law who came over and said with a smile: "The precision strikes that the Chinese are showing now are nothing more than laser guidance and GPS navigation satellite guidance."
"Unfortunately, our laser and navigation satellite technology is only slightly better than that of the Magnesium Country."
"I know that!" A young female bodyguard said excitedly, "The guys in Magnesium previously restricted our peaceful space launch of satellites. Only after we promised not to load laser weapons on the satellites did they agree to our satellite orbit application."
Zhang Heping was very angry when he heard this restriction. "The restrictions of the Magnesium people are nothing. If there are no laser weapons, can't we carry other things on board?"
When the others heard this, they immediately became interested.
"Advisor Zhang, can you tell us what good things you sent up?"
