Break out of the courtyard

"I object!" Zhang Heping said indifferently.

His voice was not loud, but it made the entire conference room quiet.

"Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, abbreviated in English as AIDS; I translate it as AIDS!" Zhang Heping looked at the foreigners on the podium and said calmly:

"Then the virus that causes AIDS should be called HIV!"

"It's just a simple matter of adding one word, but you came up with a nickname for HIV, and I had to translate it into human immunodeficiency virus. Your Eagle language abbreviations are simple, but how many extra words does my Chinese translation have?"

"Mr. Zhang, we are doing this to facilitate international academic exchanges!" A man from the Magnesium country on the podium looked at Zhang Heping confidently and said, "In this world, Eagle Language is the mainstream language. You have to learn to adapt!"

"You continue to adapt to your Eagle language, and don't ask me to attend meetings in the future!" Zhang Heping stood up and left his seat, sneering: "From now on, the academic journals of Heping Hospital will only use AIDS, HIV, HIV infection and other similar terms to publish relevant research reports."

"I want to see whether the whole world takes your HIV as the standard or the academic journal of Peace Hospital as the standard!"

The guy from the magnesium country said loudly to Zhang Heping who was walking away, "Mr. Zhang, do you want to go against the international academic community for the right to name a thing?"

"You are a Chinese, you cannot represent the international academic community!" Zhang Heping left without looking back, leaving behind only one confident sentence, "But the international academic community will value all my research results!"

After Zhang Heping and his bodyguards left the conference room, most of the Hong Kong and Macao reporters in the room left and ran back to show their loyalty.

The fastest reaction was from ATV, which reported the incident in a news broadcast in the morning, comparing the Taiwanese to someone who had taken off his pants and farted!

...

After leaving the Department of Health, Zhang Heping went straight to the Kowloon Tong Clinic.

The second son Tang Yi brought people back this time because his eldest son Tang Lu was suspected of having AIDS.

Tang Lu had been to the European Magnesium Hospital for treatment before, but it was ineffective.

They recently saw a description of symptoms in the Peace Hospital magazine, which was very similar to Tang Lu's condition, so they called Tang Lu back from abroad.

Zhang Heping didn't want to bother with Tang Laoer and the others at first, but his eldest brother-in-law Tang Ren and his family rushed back last night to persuade him, and his father-in-law Tang Ming called from the capital and said a lot of good things to Zhang Heping. Only then did Zhang Heping let Tang Lu stay in the Kowloon Tong Medical Center and become a "guinea pig".

Zhang Heping came home too late last night and was mostly perfunctory, so he didn't even see Tang Laoer's eldest son Tang Lu.

He is going to the treatment center now, mainly to see the progress in the underground laboratory there.

As soon as Zhang Heping entered the treatment center, the person in charge, Lin Jie, ran out and followed him to the underground laboratory, reporting:

"Master, the patient Tang Lu who was sent here last night has a lower CD4+T lymphocyte count than normal people, only 294 per microliter. In addition to the rash on his body and swollen lymph nodes, it can be preliminarily determined that he has AIDS!"

Zhang Heping didn't care about this, and asked in a deep voice: "Are there any unqualified foreign researchers here?"

Lin Jie hurriedly replied in a low voice, "Except for the new equipment, they are quite proficient in other operating techniques. The personnel recruitment department did not let them off easily."

"But..." Lin Jie leaned closer and said, "A nurse saw those foreigners taking cameras down."

"It's okay, let them take pictures!" Zhang Heping said indifferently: "Those are external things. The real skills are to diagnose by observation, smell, and questioning, as well as the ability to identify and distinguish medicines, and acupuncture."

"In a few years, when doctors can only prescribe drugs based on machine-generated data, you will find out how amateur they are."

Zhang Heping took a tour of the basement laboratory, asked about their test results and the progress of HIV isolation, then returned to the first floor and took the pulse of the six young people infected with HIV.

"Uncle!" Tang Lu, supported by his mother, greeted Zhang Heping who had just taken his pulse.

Zhang Heping ignored Tang Lu and the others, and secretly examined the patient's pulse, but still found nothing abnormal. He thought it was because the symptoms were not obvious.

"Although the six of you have no symptoms, the relevant test data show that you are all infected with HIV." Zhang Heping looked at the six young people in the room and said in a deep voice: "Currently, there is no drug in the world that can kill this virus."

"What I can give you is, first, 100 million magnesium yuan per person, so that you can go abroad to seek treatment in other hospitals; second, let you stay in the hospital as security guards, cooperate with the laboratory's research, and provide you with free treatment."

The six young men looked at each other, and one of the older, taller boys asked, "Boss, is this virus really as terrible as that magazine says?"

Zhang Heping nodded silently without further explanation because they had already seen the "Heping Hospital" magazine.

"Boss, I don't feel anything abnormal with my body. I don't have symptoms listed in the magazine, such as sore throat, night sweats, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, etc. Did the inspector make a mistake?" asked another young man.

Zhang Heping said in a deep voice: "I did your inspection myself."

The six young men remained silent. Intimidated by Zhang Heping's prestige, they dared not say anything more and could only suppress the doubts in their hearts.

Tang Lu and his mother sat on the bed nearby, hoping to learn from the side whether Zhang Heping could cure AIDS.

After a while, a thin young man with a shrewd look turned his eyes and asked with a smile: "Boss, is the 100 million magnesium yuan the company's compensation for our dismissal?"

"Yeah!" Zhang Heping responded and continued to wait for the six people to make a decision.

"100 million magnesium dollars can be exchanged for 770 million Hong Kong dollars. I think I can take the money!"

"I want to get the money, but what if I get sick again in the future?"

"My boss has already said that there is no relevant medicine now. Even if the disease breaks out, there is no cure. It is better to spend the money and live a carefree life."

"You want to infect those fallen women, right?"

The six people discussed it for a while, and finally chose to accept 6 million magnesium yuan.

"Okay, go back to Umbrella Company and find Manager Tang, and ask him to take you to the Finance Department to collect the money." Zhang Heping did not persuade them. "If the hospital develops a drug to treat AIDS, we will notify you and give you the drug for free. It will be worth our time working together."

"Thank you, boss!" When the six young men heard this, they hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

They were just worrying about what to do if the disease relapsed, but they didn't expect Boss Zhang to be so kind and righteous. After giving them the money, he was willing to give them medicine for free.

After Zhang Heping nodded, the six young men packed up their things and left the ward.

In Hong Kong Island, where ordinary white-collar workers earn 770 to Hong Kong dollars a month, the temptation of million Hong Kong dollars is still very great.

The fundamental reason that forced the six young people to make this choice was actually the second option Zhang Heping gave them, to go to the hospital and become security guards.

You know, the salary of the security guards of the Umbrella Company is more than ten times lower than that of the bodyguards of the Security Department.

So, between 100 million magnesium yuan and low wages, they chose the immediate benefits as Zhang Heping had expected.

The reason why Zhang Heping spent 600 million magnesium yuan to drive these people away was because he had no idea about the treatment of AIDS, and he didn't want to go around looking for medical books recently, so he simply paid money to drive these people away so that they wouldn't have to bear any resentment towards him.

As for the "little white mice" needed for the laboratory, Zhang Heping looked at Tang Laoer's eldest wife and his eldest son Tang Lu.

"I told your uncle and grandfather last night that I can't cure AIDS now." Zhang Heping looked at the mother and son and frowned. "This virus that destroys the human immune function has only been discovered recently. Medical research institutes at home and abroad are still in the early stages of research and development."

"Brother-in-law! I know Tangning did something wrong to you, but that has nothing to do with our A-Lu. A-Lu has always respected you and is very grateful for the game console business you gave him."

"Mom!" Tang Lu hurriedly called his mother. The main reason was that Zhang Heping had asked him to give up the red and white game console, but he did not do so.

"Brother-in-law!" Tang Lao Er's eldest wife clasped her hands together and looked at Zhang Heping pleadingly.

Zhang Heping looked at Tang Lu calmly, "If you want to stay for treatment, we can only treat your symptoms. At the same time, you have to cooperate with the underground laboratory's research and have your blood drawn every once in a while."

"Cooperate! We will definitely cooperate!" Tang Lu's mother nodded hurriedly.

Tang Lu also stood up and said to Zhang Heping: "Thank you, uncle!"

"In that case, I'll be frank." Zhang Heping looked at the mother and son and said, "Call back and ask everyone in your family to come over for a blood test."

"Wash your clothes separately from now on, keep warm and wear a mask when going out."

"If you hear that other hospitals have related treatment methods, you can go and have a look. You don't have to stay here."

"Thank you brother-in-law!"

"That's it for now, I'm going back!"

...

"These equipment photos are from the underground laboratory in Kowloon Tong. Many of them are medical equipment we have seen at the Canton Fair in mainland China."

"The Kowloon Tong clinic was completely defenseless against us, and there was no new equipment in the underground laboratory, which means that the underground laboratory that was previously located there had long been moved to another location."

"According to intelligence, Mr. Zhang has been going to the mainland frequently recently. His laboratory may have been moved to a factory in Shenzhen, because the factory over there is heavily guarded!"

"The main construction of the Peace Academy is about to be completed. Hasn't the country negotiated with the mainland yet? We need to send our own people to infiltrate the Peace Group. We can't rely on spies from other countries."

"No! There is another thing. Someone from the virus classification committee wanted to grab the naming rights for HIV today, but Mr. Zhang opposed it and made him leave in anger."

"Tell those guys to go back and don't disrupt my plan!"

...

"Although Heping Hospital was lucky enough to discover acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and named it AIDS, they did not rigorously name the virus that causes AIDS..." The magnesium man who had a quarrel with Zhang Heping in the morning spoke to a group of reporters after the meeting.

"We named the virus that causes AIDS the human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV."

"Mr. Commissioner, how come the easy-to-understand names like AIDS and HIV are not rigorous?"

"Mr. Commissioner, are you prejudiced against Chinese? Do you know how many foreigners are learning Chinese in Hong Kong Island now?"

"Mr. Commissioner, you don't know how to translate the word HIV? Mr. Zhang knows dozens of languages. You can ask him how to translate it. He is more knowledgeable than you!"

Before the foreign reporters started asking questions, the reporters from Hong Kong and Macao who had stayed at the venue finally found an opportunity to show their loyalty to the big boss behind the scenes.

...

After Zhang Heping returned home, he saw the criticism of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses on TV, but Zhang Heping did not take it seriously.

The main reason is that the virus classification committee is too small and is divided into 6 subcommittees. Only people from one of the subcommittees came today.

The key point is that the person who came today is not the head of any committee group.

"Uncle!"

In the living room of the Zhang family, the eldest brother Tang Lie and the third brother Tang Qiang from his eldest brother-in-law's family stood up from the sofa and greeted Zhang Heping who had just entered the door.

"Have you finished your company work? Why haven't you gone back yet?" Zhang Heping asked casually.

"Uncle, we want to consult you about something!" Seeing Zhang Heping sitting on the sofa, Tang Qiang hurriedly picked up the teapot on the coffee table and poured a cup of cold tea, then placed the cup on the coffee table in front of Zhang Heping with both hands.

Nephew Tang Lie took the opportunity to say, "Uncle, a batch of video phones have come out from the country of Fa. Do you think we can also have a video phone function on our phones?"

Zhang Heping took a sip from the teacup and said with a smile, "That's a good idea, but the current base station signal doesn't have such a fast transmission rate. Your engineers should have explained it to you."

"Is there nothing my uncle can do?" The third nephew Tang Qiang sat back on the sofa somewhat disappointed.

"I haven't finished talking yet, why are you in such a hurry?" Zhang Heping put down his teacup, leaned back on the sofa, looked at his two nephews with hopeful faces, and said with a smile: "The video call must consider the real-time transmission rate. If we don't consider real-time communication, what if we make it a delayed video message or voice message?"

"To put it another way, even if we only add camera and video functions to the phone, it will be able to outperform other companies' phones."

Snapped!

The third nephew Tang Qiang slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Why didn't we think of it!"

Tang Qiang looked at his brother Tang Lie and said, "Whether or not the phone can make video calls, the photo and video functions must be developed first."

"Only in this way can we activate the video call function in time after the base station signal transmission rate is increased!"

"My uncle is really amazing. He just listened casually and figured out the key point. Hehe!"

Tang Qiang was grinning foolishly, while Tang Lie was smiling silently beside him. Neither of them left, so there must be something going on.

Zhang Heping refilled his cup of tea, then picked up the newspaper to read, without asking them why they were still not leaving.

Tang Lie glanced at his third brother Tang Qiang, who was not going to talk anymore, and had to bite the bullet and ask, "Uncle, my second uncle's family..."

Zhang Heping said without even raising his head, "If your father wants to ask, let him ask it himself. You two should stay out of my business with them."

Tang Lie looked at his fourth aunt Tang Xin who was walking over and said with a shy smile, "My dad was afraid that you might have a problem with him, so he asked us to come over to test the waters."

"Although AIDS is highly contagious, as long as you keep yourself clean, the risk of infection will be reduced." Zhang Heping glanced at his first wife Tang Xin who was sitting next to him and explained casually, "We just asked them to do a routine checkup to prevent anyone from messing around."

"What are you doing?" The voice of father-in-law Tang Ming suddenly sounded at the door.

Then, he and his wife Xu Jiefeng walked in.

"grandfather!"

Zhang Heping stood up with Tang Lie, Tang Qiang and others and greeted his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

"Heping, how is Alu doing? Are you sure you can cure him?"

Facing his father-in-law's expectant eyes, Zhang Heping shook his head unceremoniously, "This is a newly discovered virus. Medical research institutes at home and abroad are in the early stages of research, and there has been no new progress so far."

"How did this bastard get this deadly disease?"

Jingle Bell……

Tang Xin answered the phone and said to Zhang Heping, "Auntie Wang brought some people over."

"I'll go and greet them." Zhang Heping said, and walked out the door quickly, not wanting to say more about Tang Laoer's family.

When Zhang Heping walked out of Pingba and stepped onto the lawn in the community, he saw Aunt Wang and Liu Yuan coming over with a dozen people, escorted by several bodyguards.

"Heping, these are domestic virology experts. They missed the meeting held by the Hong Kong Island Department of Health this morning, so I brought them here!" Director Wang Sumei said with a smile, "Look, can you let them visit your laboratory? They want to see the progress of your HIV research."

Zhang Heping thought that his father-in-law Tang Ming would probably ask him to go to the Kowloon Tong Clinic together, so he simply nodded and said, "Let's go after we have lunch!"

"It just so happens that there is a group of people whose blood needs to be screened, and there is also an AIDS patient cooperating with the research. It would be a good time to go there in the afternoon."
