Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

Everyone is a showman. Although it was obvious that the governor of Hong Kong, Peng Dingkang, was deliberately obstructing this banquet, which annoyed Mr. Richest Man, they all pretended to be nonchalant, and some people secretly decided—anyway. I've already arrived to meet the occasion, it's better to find an opportunity and leave as soon as possible, so as not to be caught in all kinds of weird saliva wars. .

Now that the governor of Hong Kong, Peng Dingkang, the finale guest, released the host's pigeons, the banquet can officially begin.

Xie Ning checked the microphone himself, and then asked Tang Huan to give a speech.

The richest man said calmly: It's been a few years since I spent the Mid-Autumn Festival in Xiangjiang. I really miss the friendly and beautiful atmosphere here—thank you for coming.

After the warm applause fell, Tang Huan continued: It's rare for everyone to get together. I have something to say, so I can't say it fast.

To be honest, I understand that some people have a lot of doubts about my Xiangjiang trip-I find this mentality ridiculous.

In this regard, I just want to quote the elegant and vulgar words of 'Do not do to others what you don't want to be done to you' and 'The blisters on your feet come out by yourself'. I will respond a little bit.

I am unwilling to be troublesome, and I am involuntarily subject to various restrictions. But Xiangjiang is indeed in a very critical period, and I cannot remain indifferent or turn a blind eye.

Then let's say a few words in a cloud of mist - I think, first of all, we should not be superstitious and follow blindly, only you know whether the shoes fit or not; secondly, adjust your mentality, be pragmatic and innovative - everyone, in the final analysis, whether our life is good or not depends on practice. A real economy.

Having said that, Mr. Richest Man raised his glass, It would be a disappointment to say any more—on this Mid-Autumn Festival, I wish you all the best!

So in the bustle and bustle, guests from all walks of life pushed cups and changed cups, and ate with their cheeks shaken - don't look at them as rich or expensive, but Mr. Richest's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is no small matter. Many ingredients are airlifted from all over the world. Dafujia may not be able to compare with this freshness.

How delicious is it? Those who were thinking about going through the motions before slipping away are reluctant to move away; even the ladies and ladies can't care about counting calories for the time being.

Among them, the table of Jin Yong, Huang Zhan, and Cai Lan was the most eloquent. The reason why the Four Great Talents of Xiangjiang did not gather was because Ni Kuang did too many bad things and scared himself. I have to immigrate to San Francisco, USA.

However, three lacks and one does not affect literati to show off their knowledge,

Especially Chua Lam, who has produced many excellent food programs for Media Asia TV, DreamWorks, and Phoenix Satellite TV in recent years, is a professional foodie.

Jin Yong tasted the crab leisurely, Huang Zhan enthusiastically stared at the Australian lobster, and Cai Lan waited leisurely for the steak.

It was a kind of enjoyment to listen to the witty remarks of these three well-educated people—so Tang Huan sat down on purpose.

In the entertainment program of the banquet, the Four Heavenly Kings is undoubtedly the highlight. Whoever comes first in the order of appearance is inevitably intriguing.

Looking at Li Ming who appeared after Guo Fucheng, Tang Huan joked casually: A few years ago, the fans of Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung were in a row; now these four kings appear together, and I don't know how to balance it.

Huang Zhan wiped his mouth contentedly, and continued with a smile, Of course I have experience in coping with it - just take tonight as an example, it must be in alphabetical order of their names.

Tang Huan nodded slightly, watching Xie Ning lead the waiters to deliver the steak, he couldn't help admiring Cai Lan from the bottom of his heart—this is a real gourmet, his patience alone is hard to match!

Cai Lan explained with a smile on her face: This is a national treasure Wagyu - Matsusaka beef. The breeding process is very particular. For example, when it has no appetite, it will drink beer to stimulate its appetite, and even receive regular massages.

Huang Zhan, who has always been open-minded, shook his head and sighed: Matsusaka cattle are raised like their own fathers, and in the end it is inevitable that Paoding Jieniu will suffer the fate of the cattle.

After speaking, he snatched another piece for the old disrespectful to taste.

The richest man with a smile on his face suddenly remembered something, and quickly turned to Xie Ning, Is there any British beef for the banquet?

Yes. Xie Ning nodded affirmatively, Some customers have already ordered.

After an imperceptible playfulness flashed in the eyes of the richest man, he ordered: Put away all the British beef and the food that uses it as ingredients, and destroy it.

Xie Ning asked in surprise, Including those that have already been served on the table?

The richest man naturally wouldn't let his woman waste her brain cells trying to figure out the sacred will at this time, and explained bluntly: Just for health reasons - the beef from the UK may contain the 'mad cow disease' virus.

Huang Zhan, who was drinking red wine from a crystal glass, spat on the napkin in one gulp, coughing repeatedly.

After Xie Ning, who was grinning directly, turned around and left, he calmed down and asked on behalf of other curious people, Tang Sheng, what is this 'mad cow disease'? It can't be true, can it?

Of course. Tang Huan cast a contemptuous glance at the other party, Am I just talking nonsense?

Huang Zhan's interest was immediately aroused, and he urged repeatedly: Then Tang Sheng, please answer the questions quickly. What is the 'mad cow disease' all about? Will the patient chase people around madly like a Spanish bullfight?

Finally it's my turn to play tricks in front of well-educated people. The richest man laughed, It's no wonder you haven't heard of it. The 'mad cow disease' virus was discovered in the UK about 10 years ago and has been in the research stage. , and due to considerations of various practical factors, the official has maintained a state of secrecy, which has led to extremely limited public understanding.

However, it is precisely because of this that the 'mad cow disease' virus is spreading in the British beef cattle breeding industry. As far as I know, there have been at least nearly a thousand sick cattle with this symptom in the past two years.

Specifically speaking, the main characteristic of cattle suffering from this disease is spongiform lesions in the brain, followed by degeneration of brain function, and the clinical manifestations are neurological disorders - just like what you just said running around like a Spanish bullfight Chasing people to the top,” and then there’s ataxia and dementia—just standing there motionless. No matter what the clinical manifestations are, until death.”

According to the latest research results of the biotechnology company I invested in that discovered and confirmed the HIV virus, the 'mad cow disease' virus can not only infect cattle, but also infect humans, and because of the incubation period of several years, it is difficult to detect it in advance and cannot Cured. As for the symptoms of the patient, it is similar to that of a sick cow, with spongy lesions in the brain tissue, and eventually dies of madness or dies in a daze.

Speaking of this, Tang Huan looked at Huang Zhan and smiled slightly, However, I don't think you need to worry about a madman—whether you are mad or in a daze, it's your true nature.

I don't want it... Huang Zhan waved his hands again and again in a gaffe, and Cai Lan was even more careless, he missed the fork and fell to the ground.

Seeing that the two were frightened like this, the richest man couldn't help laughing, and quickly comforted him: At this stage, mad cow disease should only be spreading in the UK, and at most Europe. For the time being, a piece of beef is safe and secure.

With the advancement of civilization and the prosperity of science and technology, various unprecedented terminal illnesses have appeared in human beings in recent years. Jin Yong sighed and said, Tang Sheng, how did this 'mad cow disease' come about?

The current research results can confirm that 'mad cow disease' is related to prions. Tang Huan replied: It turns out that the scientific community generally believes that the pathogens of infectious diseases are microorganisms with replicable nucleic acids, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. , protozoa, etc.”

But prions are a class of infectious substances composed only of proteins, without nucleic acids, and are subviral factors.

Moreover, prions are different from ordinary proteins. After 4 hours of heating at 120 degrees Celsius to 130 degrees Celsius, and ultraviolet light, ion irradiation, and formaldehyde disinfection, they cannot be killed, and they are even resistant to proteases. Strong protein denaturants of the same class cannot be resisted.

Originally, prions are among domestic animals, mainly infecting sheep, resulting in sheep scrapie, and no cases of infecting humans have been found.

The reason why prions are now spreading to cattle should be related to changes in feeding methods.

As we all know, cattle are ruminants that eat grass, but in order to reduce the cost of feeding, some Western European countries, including the United Kingdom, make a mixture of meat and bones of other dead animals into meat and bone meal, and add them to feed. To supplement the protein of cattle.

Take the current silent spread of 'mad cow disease' in the UK as an example. It is not unrelated to the fact that those dead cows are made into meat and bone meal, added to feed, and spread repeatedly.

Having said that, Tang Huan shrugged his shoulders, and concluded with regret: Just like my statement that Xiangjiang's economy is in crisis, it will arouse dissatisfaction among many people. 'Mad Cow Disease' is also a sensitive topic involving huge interests of all parties. ——You must know that beef is the third largest meat product in the world after pork and poultry, and the government is naturally unwilling to respond positively—what we can do personally is to try not to eat beef from high-risk areas such as the UK.

I decided not to eat beef in the future. Huang Zhandayi said awe-inspiringly: What a highly respected human partner is the cow - without it, how can there be thousands of years of farming civilization?

Let's not talk about this unappetizing topic. Tang Huan waved his hand after glancing at Cai Lan, who was at a loss for the delicious Matsusaka beef on the plate, Fortunately, there are many kinds of food. Without beef, we still have a lot of choices.

...

Needless to say, how successful Mr. Richest Man's Hong Kong Mid-Swing Dinner was, no one in the city can match just the delicious and luxurious food.

The next day, all Chinese-language media reported on it. The people who were invited to attend immediately became popular, and a casual description would make people look up to them.

Among them, some were drooling and appreciating delicacies from all over the world, and some were talking about Xiangjiang stars including the Four Heavenly Kings, which can be called a sweeping extravaganza.

Of course, there are also boring gossips about who's clothes don't match, or even bumped shirts.

Even the so-called secrets related to the banquet were widely spread.

For example, the governor of Hong Kong, Peng Dingkang, was obviously releasing pigeons, and the richest man was so angry that he called him mad cow disease. Actually, if he really got some mad cow disease, he should rush to the banquet and make a big fuss, and it would be more lively, right?

Huang Zhan, whose career has been mainly based on TV talk shows these years, saw that so many people were so ignorant of the real mad cow disease, he felt itchy, and simply made a show, which immediately caused a sensation in Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong people who are currently enjoying their life drunkenly and dreamily are suddenly shocked and suddenly realize that mad cow disease is indeed real, and besides the literal meaning of madness, the symptoms also include daze until death.

Inferred from this, Mr. Richest Man’s description of Hong Kong Governor Peng Dingkun as having mad cow disease should refer to the situation where he was stupidly nesting in the Hong Kong Governor’s Mansion——As expected of Tang Wenhao who has published countless books, the routine of the jokes is really deep , I was scolded so hard and still don't understand what's going on.

This episode also led to another result—Xiangjiang’s beef sales plummeted, especially the huge corps of teachers and milkmen, who simply turned pale when talking about beef.

The current Xiangjiang can be regarded as the bridgehead of the mainland with unlimited market prospects. It is the most glorious stage. In addition to the establishment of many international companies, setting up offices and driving up housing prices, world-class media have also installed at least one communication office.

Ever since, news about mad cow disease was quickly brought to Europe and North America by News Corporation, CNN and other media.

First of all, the United Kingdom is impatient—Tang Huan, you and Peng Dingkun quarreled, it's nothing new anyway, why did you bring up the topic of mad cow disease? Do you know how badly firing cannons like this will have a bad impact on our agriculture? How many people's livelihood will be involved? We don't have the mad cow disease you mentioned in the UK! You have mad cow disease!

The richest man is also annoyed--am I a person who talks nonsense? My biotechnology company, the earliest and most famous achievement, was the discovery and confirmation of the HIV virus! How can you talk nonsense about mad cow disease? You can keep it secret for economic benefit, but I can't be so heartless! Just wait, the relevant papers will be announced to the public immediately.

Then, the British people, and even the European Union, all pointed the finger at John Major's government-do you want to kill everyone? Quickly give a clear explanation!

It is difficult for this earth-shattering quarrel to come to an immediate conclusion, and it also involved a lot of energy from the richest man. Jian Mingren, who came from Baodao to attend the banquet, watched his words and demeanor for a long time before hesitatingly said one thing It made him dumbfounded.

That's your family business, what does it have to do with me? Tang Huan declared rather annoyed: Let's be honest, I don't pay attention to your uncle! Such a big disturbance caused the entire Wang family to fall into a passive position.
