The cold winter in Jiangzhou is gradually gone, ushering in early spring. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Flying back from the United States, Xu Teng was actually quite tired and rested for a while, the warmth of spring nourished the earth, everything recovered, this season is the most suitable to go to the mountain.

A few friends from the college days, everyone made an appointment together and went to Weishan.

It's as if everything has gone back in time.

Walking in the mountains, Xu Teng seemed to have returned to his junior high school days, when he often came to Weishan to play, and he didn't pay much attention to it, Xia Li and Qi Xiaopeng, as well as a few classmates in junior high school, climbed the mountain in the morning and went home at night.

Xu Teng didn't know where those classmates were now, he just heard Qi Xiaopeng occasionally say that one was a deputy director in Weizhou City, and two were doing some business, and they had borrowed money from Qi Xiaopeng, and it was said that they had repaid their debts.

It's not that there are no classmates who come to Xu Teng to borrow money, most of the time it is Xia Li who entertains each other at home, after all, as long as it is Xu Teng's classmate, it is basically Xia Li's classmate.

Talking about money hurts feelings.

Generally, it's not too much, Xia Li will always borrow, borrow a sum of money, and there will be one less old acquaintance.

In the past ten years, Xia Li has borrowed almost 200 million yuan, high school, junior high school, elementary school, and those old classmates have dispersed, and there is no need to mention it again, and there is no warmth anymore.

Is it important to have feelings, or is money important?

Maybe everyone has a different answer, but in fact, for Xu Teng, these people don't have much friendship.

The four boys in the 1404 dormitory, Xu Teng, Chen Jian, Gu Chen, Zhao Pu, and Su Wan, Liu Junsheng, and Zhu Peipei, who had the best relationship among their classmates, went to Mount Shan to climb the mountain and look at the sun.

Unexpectedly, this agreement dragged on for 17 years.

At night, seven people spend the night in the Yunguang Temple on the top of the mountain, more than 1,000 meters in the air, the night is cold and cold, and there is no heating in this place of Yunguang Temple, everyone is crowded in a Zen room, each holding the futon, sticking to the wall and chatting.

Inadvertently, several people talked about Korean stars.

This person has been in the rare earth business, and then I don't know how, he started an online financial management fund, saying that the good thing is financial innovation, and the difficulty is that the private high-interest fundraising, and the result is that it collapsed.

In the past few years, Han Xing has been hiding in Malaysia, wanting to make a comeback, and borrowed hundreds of millions of money from Liu Junsheng and Chen Jian, but I don't know what the situation is.

Borrowing money again!

Talking about money, hurting feelings!

Xu Teng never thought that Han Xing would have today, he still remembers the incident when Han Xing and he went to the Jiangtai Huangting Hotel to fish for people, and he still remembers that Han Xing was a freshman and skipped school for more than a month to play games.

After graduation, Han Xing's business was doing well, but later he was too greedy, and with Xu Teng's network, he became more and more bold.

Han Xing never figured out that the banks of the Huayin Consortium were not Xu Teng's final say, and Xu Teng would not lend money again and again because the other party was a college classmate.

To some extent, he overestimated his friendship with Xu Teng.

In fact, it's still the same sentence, and there is no friendship in the first place.

Su Wan and Han Xing have a good relationship, after all, it is a dormitory, but they did not borrow money from Han Xing later, because Su Wan is a very quiet person, except for the shareholding in Tencent Group, the rest of the assets are handed over to Gu Chen's 14K Fund and Luo Yujuan's Starfish Trust and Investment Company.

Therefore, Su Wan and his wife said that they are worth billions, and they really don't have any spare money, they have a house, a car, a salary, and stocks and investment dividends at the end of the year.

Su Wan didn't borrow money from Han Xing, nor did she guarantee the debt for Han Xing, just watched quietly.

This night, quietly said.

His thoughts are similar to Xu Teng's, if you really want to talk about it, it was actually Xu Teng who hurt the other party, which made this college classmate's ambition too big and couldn't be contained.

"After all, it's Han Xing's own problem. "Jian Chen always has to defend Xu Teng, what's more, it's really not Xu Teng's fault.

"Forget it, don't talk about this person, it's not interesting. Xu Teng asked everyone not to mention it, he was bored, so he changed the topic by the way and asked Chen Jian, "By the way, how did you handle the affairs of Anzhou New District?"

"This matter, the government will probably launch it at the end of the month, the specific planning scope is similar to our original proposal, mainly Sun Hongbin is operating, we don't have much direct investment, Lao Wang's meaning is that we have a big wind, it is best to avoid suspicion." "Chen Jian is a little regretful, Huayin Consortium put forward the proposal of this Anzhou New Area five years ago, which is very positive, but when the matter is completed, Jiangtai Group and Sunshine Group have no chance to acquire land.

Of course, it does not mean that there is no land, Huateng Land, a subsidiary of Huateng Property Group, has a project in the Anzhou New District as early as 2009, and has taken several pieces of land in recent years to operate Huateng Pioneer Park and Anzhou High-tech City project.

In proportion, the government has not treated the Huayin consortium badly, but it is certainly not like in the past, when it was 1/3 or even 1/2.

In the final analysis, this question is still a problem of the three major economic sectors.

Huayin Consortium is the hegemon of the Yangtze River Economic Belt and the Yangtze River Delta, and its influence in the Pearl River Bay is not small.

This dish is all for you, what do others eat?

Investing in Anzhou New Area is a matter of attitude, and the production capacity of the investment still needs to be invested, and in general, it is also a good opportunity for the Huayin consortium to go north.

In business, not making much money is also a problem.

"By the way, I heard that Sun Hongbin and Lu Fangfang are divorced, don't you plan to persuade them?" Chen Jian remembered something and asked Xu Teng.

"Let's leave, these two people were originally a business marriage, Sun Hongbin was desperate to find a relationship and borrow money from us, Lu Fangfang wanted to expand the real estate business at that time, and wanted to cooperate with him sincerely. Now that the real estate business is not as good as before, the fate of the two husband and wife is over. Xu Teng was quite embarrassed, in fact, he never felt that Sun Hongbin loved Lu Fangfang so much, and he just wanted to conquer.

Men and women.

It's impossible to have no money, and it's never okay to be too rich, unless you don't care about your wife, you can be a housewife with peace of mind, like Lu Fangfang and Sun Hongbin, a mom-and-pop shop, where husband and wife are presidents and chairmen together, basically you can see in TV dramas, and in life, 99% of them are collapsed.

Rich and powerful, men are not short of women's admiration, women are not short of men to pursue, if you can live well, that's hell!

The seven college classmates they climbed together tonight are still very smart in this regard, and their love lives are very peaceful.

This guy, chatting and chatting until more than 4 o'clock in the morning, then went to drink a few bottles of Moutai on the top of the mountain, waiting for the arrival of the golden light of dawn together, this is a feat that they should have completed in college, no way, at that time, they began to start a business, how busy.

After so many busy years, everyone finally has nothing to ask for.

In fact, most of the students who started their own businesses together have retired, retired in their thirties, no longer worked, some bought houses and rented out and other appreciation, took the rent to play around, some immigrated overseas, and some moved to Dali.

That's life, that's life, you don't have to work all the time.

For example, like Xu Teng and Chen Jian, they all work for responsibility, after all, they are in charge of their respective listed group companies, and they have to do it if they don't do it.

As for business, today, you don't have to worry too much about gains and losses.

Enjoy life.

People, in fact, how long can they live, even if they have more money, so what?

This time, old college friends watched the sunrise together, which can be regarded as a perfect bracket for each other's college memories, and added a regret that should have been made up for a long time.

A few days later.

Xu Teng returned to Jiangzhou.

Since returning to China in mid-February, he has been resting for more than ten days, and when he arrived at the company this morning, he read all the annual financial reports and data.

Xie Xiaopei, chairman of Huateng Medical Technology Group, said a few weeks ago that he had something very special to report.

Xu Teng finally arranged a time today to meet in the morning.

It was just after 9 o'clock.

Xie Xiaopei arrived in a hurry.

This is the chairman and CEO of Huateng Medical Technology Group, and the co-partner of the board of directors of Huayin Consortium, very busy, Xu Teng is also very busy, and the two rarely see each other several times a year.

Naturally, I was quite happy to meet.

Xu Teng also saw that Xie Xiaopei did have some very special things to say, so he invited him to the teahouse, made a pot of Longjing tea, and talked about things while drinking tea.

"Chairman, I have a genetic technology research report here, you can read it first, let's talk about it, no more than 7 people know about this matter so far. Xie Xiaopei's appearance is very mysterious, and it seems that there is really a great event about to happen.

Xu Teng doesn't understand, what can happen?

Could it be that the gene therapy research of Huateng Medical Technology Group has entered the stage of practical application, or can the new lung cancer drug that has been developed for many years and cost more than a billion dollars of investment be put into production?

"Okay, I'll take a look. "Xu Teng actually doesn't care about anything special, after all, within the framework of the entire Huayin Consortium, the share occupied by Huateng Medicine is not very large.

He opened this genetic technology research report, flipped through it, felt a little special, and read it word by word again, after all, it is a very professional research report, and it is very difficult to interpret.

Xu Teng now says that he is not busy, and he does not have much time to say that he is not busy, starting from this year, his new rule is to work only in the morning every day, and he must have full rest on weekends, and there are two long holidays of up to ten days a year.

There really is no more pursuit.

Halfway through reading this report, Xu Teng didn't fully understand the clue, so he threw the report aside and told Xie Xiaopei directly, "You better tell me directly, you kind of report, after reading it, I always suspect that I am studying a fake university." ”

"President, this situation is very special, in fact, we have already discovered this problem in April last year. I would simply say that there are some foreign genes in our human bodies, which come from other life, some from microorganisms, some from fungi, and some even from insects. So far, Huateng Medical Technology has discovered 149 species, some of which are very old gene chains, and some of them are very old, even through global gene pool testing, and the source cannot be found. ”

"In April last year, we discovered that seven foreign genes came from the same unknown organism, from 3.3 million years ago, at the beginning of the birth of humanoids, at that particular stage when they learned to walk upright. We recombined these seven foreign genes to form a new arrangement, and then there was an accident that it could combine with a certain mutated gene of a very small number of humans and completely integrate into the human gene chain. Xie Xiaopei was very serious and excited about this historic discovery.

Xu Teng was very calm, because he basically didn't understand what this meant.

"Chairman, I can't be sure now, but I have a suspicion that these 7 foreign genes may have played a key role in the evolution and birth of human beings, and they are likely to promote the evolution of human beings again!" Xie Xiaopei didn't realize that at this moment, he didn't look like the chairman of a high-tech medical technology company in Xu Teng's heart, nor was he a scientist, but a madman.

You continue. Xu Teng took a sip of tea, pondering about this matter, to be honest, he didn't see any opportunity to make money, which is equivalent to saying that Huateng Medical Technology Company's investment in this field is a loss-making business, and it can only be famous.

"I now name this 7 special foreign genes Thesis genome, as for where this genome comes from, there is no clue at all, but one thing is certain, they have more than 100 different sortings, 4 of which have been proven, the existence of valuable sequences, one of which is combined with the COT4 gene, the effect of integration into the human body is the most obvious, can greatly enhance the characteristics of the COT4 gene. Xie Xiaopei reminded Xu Teng suggestively that the reason why this project has made miraculous progress is because you have paid for long-term sponsorship.

"Hmm, it seems to be a little interesting, so what's the benefit?" Xu Teng invests in so many projects every year, where can he think of it, this genetic research project is the type he has long forgotten.

He just didn't know that he had continued to support it in the past few years.

"The advantage is longevity, very longevity, the COT4 gene is a mutated gene in the East Asian genobody, which only a very few people in China have, which can make people have better anti-aging ability, and the probability of suffering from Parkinson's disease and stroke is lower. To put it simply, the COT4 mutation gene can effectively reduce the production of free radicals, similar to the effect of vitamin E. ”

"When we link the Thesis genome and the COT4 gene, the two can be fused, and the restriction and breakdown of free radicals are stronger, which means that with the right gene therapy, people with the COT4 gene can live roughly to 120 years old. Xie Xiaopei's meaning is already clear, and the opportunity to invest in gene therapy technology on a large scale has finally arrived.

"I only have one question, what is the approximate proportion of people with the COT4 gene in the population, or how many people are there in the whole of China?" Xu Teng is very realistic, who can live to be 100 years old, or 120 years old, it has nothing to do with him, the scale of this investment must be amazing, and the cycle will be very long, if there is basically no return in the end, why should he continue to support?

He's a philanthropist, and he's not stupid.

"COT4 is a very rare mutant gene, the average East Asian population is generally COT2, a small number of people are COT3, in China, the total number of COT4 gene holders is probably not more than 300,000. Xie Xiaopei said frankly that if this project is indeed stable in terms of return on investment, and continue to invest billions of dollars, it will definitely be able to make this genetic recombination modification technology mature within three to five years.

"Then how much do you estimate to invest, and how long do you estimate it will take to enter the clinical use stage?" Xu Teng did not directly scold Xie Xiaopei, he has always been very tolerant of people who are not very smart, not to mention that Xie Xiaopei is a co-partner, obviously very smart, but the feelings of a scientist are diminished with reason for a while.

"With an investment of $300 million to $500 million a year, if you're lucky, you can enter clinical testing in about 10 years, and if you're lucky, you can mature in about 15 years. With such a breakthrough, it will eventually usher in a comprehensive breakthrough in gene recombinant therapy technology. Xie Xiaopei vowed to persuade Xu Teng, the chairman of the board, to continue to use the scientific sponsorship fund of the Huateng Foundation to maintain the operation of the project in Huateng Medical Technology Company.

Huateng Medical Technology Co., Ltd. is a group company listed as a whole, and it is listed in the United States, so it must not be able to directly fund the operation of this project, which is really a loss and the stock market is unacceptable.

The only way is for Xu Teng to provide R&D funds in the name of the Huateng Science Development Foundation to keep the project going.

"What you're saying is that investing $7 billion won't necessarily come back unless there's a breakthrough technology development in the process that can be applied to other areas. Xu Teng understood, this is to use a small project to drive the progress of science and technology of the entire human race, like a dream, is his money robbed?

Isn't his money money?

"Yes. Xie Xiaopei must admit that the main purpose of his life-extending COT4 gene recombinant therapy technology project is to strive for more funding to fully study the full value of the Thesis genome.

Somehow, he can verify one of his hypotheses, the Thesis genome came from the external cosmic civilization, deliberately translated into the body of the ancient ape, and eventually led to the birth of humanoids, and finally Homo sapiens, modern man, and may continue to promote the development of modern man in the future.

"To tell the truth, Chairman Xie, what do you think is the benefit of this kind of investment for me? You have to understand, this is not for you to mobilize capital from the capital market, you are going to spend my money completely!" Of course Xu Teng is not happy, this is not nonsense, he is worth trillions of dollars, but it is also the market value of the stock market, and real money can only be squeezed out of one billion dollars a year by pumping money to invest in this kind of basic scientific research project.

"Chairman, you can live to be 120 years old, a large part of the COT4 gene we used in the test was provided by you when you first started the project?" Xie Xiaopei was stunned, and he realized that the chairman had completely forgotten that this was originally a treatment project specializing in the study of the chairman's own genes.

People are afraid of death.

When Xu Teng started this genetic research project, he mainly studied what diseases he and his family members are prone to, what aspects they need to pay attention to, and if they are sick, what treatment options are easier to take.

"Oh, oh...... Oh, I remember, okay, you just let it go, basic scientific research projects, it should still be supported, such long-term support is absolutely fine. Xu Teng's attitude changed 180 degrees, "When I set up the Huateng Foundation, I was actually thinking about supporting important basic scientific research projects related to the fate of mankind!"

"So, I'm coming to you!" Xie Xiaopei is actually quite envious of Xu Teng, you say, for Xu Teng, investing 7 billion US dollars in ten to fifteen years, is this a big deal?

If this money is invested, it will really make him live a few dozen years longer.

This genetic research project is a major event related to the health of leaders, not to mention that there are not many researchers and the scale of investment is not large, but Xie Xiaopei has always been personally responsible, and he has to personally inquire about any new progress.

Xie Xiaopei can say that with his understanding of Xu Teng's genetic data, the genes of the chairman of their Huayin Consortium are very good, there is no hereditary diabetes and heart disease, and the probability of suffering from Parkinson's disease, stroke, and coronary heart disease in the future is also extremely low.

Coupled with Xu Teng's attitude to life, lifestyle, and the level of the medical and nutrition team, as long as he is not too lucky, like many founding generals, it will not be a problem.

If Huateng Medical Technology Company can make greater progress in the Thesis genome research project and can be used clinically, Xu Teng, an investor, will not be able to live to be 120 years old, or even 130 years old.

Xie Xiaopei is an expert in the field of gene technology, and he can say that in the next 30 years, gene technology will enter the clinical stage in large numbers, and there will be new changes in human medical methods, methods, and theories, and a gene technology revolution that is no less than the revolution in electrification technology and information technology.

In the next 30 years, as long as you have money, there will be no problem in living to the age of 100 healthy, and the body at the age of 100 will be as healthy as the age of 60.

This is the revolution in gene technology.

Even, through further breakthroughs in gene therapy technology, as long as you have money, there is no problem in living to the theoretical limit of 150 years old, and even, you can break through the theoretical limit...... This brings us to the question of human ethics and morality.

Xu Teng finally became interested in the research project of Thesis Genome, picked up Xie Xiaopei's scientific research report, read it carefully and completely, asked questions if he didn't understand, and studied tirelessly.

Until Xu Teng figured out all the problems in this.

Xu Teng realized why Xie Xiaopei was so excited, this Thesis genome was indeed very strange, it suddenly appeared in the time period of 3.3 million to 3.2 million years ago, and no trace could be found on the earth, and it moved into the body of an ape.

All scientific conjectures must be verified before they can become true.

If you want to test Xie Xiaopei's conjecture, I am afraid that you will have to spend a lot of money, just when Xie Xiaopei did not know how to advance this matter, another scientific research team, that is, a member of Xu Teng's personal gene research group, accidentally discovered that the Thesis genome and the COT4 gene can be chimeric, theoretically enhance the COT4 gene, and even have other new values.

Xie Xiaopei had a flash of inspiration in his mind and decided to spend the chairman's money to solve the financial problem of Huateng Medical Technology Company.

"Okay, funding is not a problem, try to speed it up. Xu Teng is not willing to wait, can it be done, first come up with a result in four or five years, this money, he must come out, and he can afford it, by the way, see what is the value of the Thesis genome, and where it comes from.

"Lao Xie, let me ask one more question, where do you think the Thesis genome came from?" Xu Teng was also curious.

"I personally think that this is a humanoid life form, and also has 23 pairs of chromosomes, if they are indeed intelligent life, then they are much older than us, maybe a little taller than us, and have a larger brain capacity, which means that their planetary gravity is a little bit bigger than ours, and the oxygen content of the air is slightly higher. Of course, none of these speculations are necessarily accurate, because they are very old. Perhaps 50 million years ago, they were already very mature highly intelligent organisms, and about 3.5 million years ago, they translated some of their genes into the body of a certain Australopithecus to give it a chance to evolve to a higher level. ”

"We can think of the Thesis genome as a password lock with evolutionary acceleration function, this genome seems to be worthless, but it has been accelerating the genetic mutation of human beings, and in the gene pool of life on Earth, we can say that the rate of genetic mutation in humans is very high, especially at the same metabolic level, we are evolving very fast. Our metabolism rate is 1/5 of that of white mice, but the rate of genetic mutation is equal, and the metabolism rate of elephants is similar to ours, but the rate of genetic mutation is only 1/7 of ours. ”

"Today, if we open up all the secrets contained within the Thesis genome, we will surely open a brilliant treasure trove, and if my conjecture is correct, it means that the Thesis genome is a mysterious gift from ancient intelligent life in the universe 3.5 million years ago. Maybe one day, we will be able to find their place in the universe through this combination lock. ”

Xie Xiaopei simply spoke freely, this speculation had been brewing in his heart for more than a year, and other than that, he could not find any rational answer to explain the existence of the Thesis genome.

"Go ahead and do it. Xu Teng had nothing to ask about, and there was nothing to say, at this moment, he suddenly realized that if this ancient cosmic wisdom existed, he might have the ability to travel through time and space.

They can travel back 3.5 million years to change humanity, or they can implant information decades later into someone's brain.

They can do everything.

This is God, this is the Superlord.

At this moment.

Xu Teng didn't know what kind of decision he had made, perhaps, he was making himself the loneliest person.
