midsummer.

The lychees in Lingnan are in abundance.

After a light rain, water droplets were still hanging on the flowers and plants on the roadside.

The lychee planting area in Shanmei City has decreased by more than 95% this year, and lychee and longan plantations have been replaced by durian plantations.

Except for a small portion of lychees and longans kept by rural residents, there are not many people growing lychees and longans locally.

The lychees in the urban area are all transported from the three neighboring cities of Chaoshan.

Inside the Happy Home flagship store on Main Street.

A family wearing vital sign monitors were having dinner in the lobby on the first floor. Judging from their conversation, they were not from China, but a Chinese family from Malaysia.

"I haven't been back for decades. I didn't expect Hailufeng to develop so fast." The old man leaned back in his chair and looked at the tricycle vendor selling lychees on the roadside. He suddenly felt greedy: "Ahao, after dinner, let's go buy a few kilograms of lychees."

The middle-aged man reminded helplessly: "Dad! You have diabetes and can't eat too many lychees."

"Just eat a few, no problem..." The old man was a little stubborn.

His daughter-in-law Lin Xuerong also looked helpless: "Dad, don't buy too much, just one pound, otherwise you won't be able to resist eating too much."

At this moment, the old man at the next table put down his newspaper and said with a smile: "Brother, if you have diabetes, you should eat less lychees. Besides, the lychees sold at these roadside stalls are all from other places. We don't grow lychees locally anymore."

The old man turned around and asked with a smile: "Brother, are you from Hailufeng?"

"Yes! I'm from Lufeng. I moved to the city in the 1990s. Judging from your accent, you're also from Hailufeng, right?"

The old man nodded and said, "My name is Huang Debiao. I am from Yancheng. I sneaked into Hong Kong in 1983 and immigrated to Malaysia from Hong Kong in 1997."

"So you're from Nanyang. My name is Zhang Xingwen. I used to work in the customs. I retired in the early 2000s." Zhang Xingwen, with gray hair, picked up the soda water and took a sip.

Huang Debiao asked curiously, "Brother Zhang looks healthy, so why did he come here to eat?"

"For convenience, my uric acid level is a little high. People along the coast have a little high uric acid level. My son and daughter-in-law are busy with work, so they arranged a set meal for me. I come here to eat at a fixed time every day."

"I see."

Huang Yihao asked in a half-baked language: "Uncle Zhang, I've lived in the city for decades. Do you know where I can buy a relatively cheap house?"

"Oh? You want to come back to buy a property?" Zhang Xingwen looked surprised.

Huang Yihao nodded. "I have this plan. The main reason is that I am worried about the medical technology in Malaysia. The medical technology in China has been changing with each passing day in recent years. Maybe there will be a cure for diabetes soon. Now that the country no longer restricts the flow of people within Asia United, I plan to buy a house in the city."

After hearing this, Zhang Xingwen was even more surprised: "Aren't you from Yancheng Village? You should have an old house and relatives, right?"

"Haha, to be honest, I came back in the 1990s and sold the land and house at home. Several relatives didn't have any extra houses..."

After listening to Huang Debiao's explanation, Zhang Xingwen did not ask any further questions. After all, only the parties involved knew what happened that year.

He thought for a while and said, "Houses in the city are not expensive now, about 8,000 per square meter, but I don't recommend you buy old houses."

"Why?" Huang Yihao asked.

"Because the service life of old houses is definitely not long, and the materials and craftsmanship are not necessarily reliable, it is better to buy a house that meets the standards of new products now." Zhang Xingwen continued:

"If you don't mind the distance, I suggest you buy a house in the surrounding towns. The old houses in the city are waiting to be renovated, which will be very troublesome in the future. The new houses in the surrounding areas are cheap, and it only takes about half an hour to an hour to get to the city. Of course, Magong Town and Hongcao Town are excluded."

Huang Debiao asked curiously, "Why are Magong Town and Hongcao Town excluded?"

"Because there is not much land available for development in these two places, the local land has been planned. After all, that is the hometown of Hailufeng Company. I suggest you buy in Tungchong Town or Jiesheng Town."

After chatting for a while, the Huang father and son also gained a preliminary understanding of the local real estate situation.

Before they knew it, most of the food on their plates had been eaten.

Huang Yihao burped: "Burp... This nutritious meal tastes pretty good."

"It just tastes a little bland." Huang Debiao looked a little uncomfortable while eating.

Zhang Xingwen may be used to this kind of seasoning: "Brother Huang, the food in Happy Home is all like this. We old people will definitely not eat dishes that are too salty or too oily."

Huang Debiao wiped his mouth, raised his head, and was about to stand up, but he saw a large TV hanging in the air not far away from the few people.

CCTV News was playing on the TV screen.

[Good afternoon, dear audience friends... Academician Jiang Miao, a famous scientist in my country, academician of the two academies, and founder of Hailufeng Group, recently completed the world's first artificial eye cultivation and transplantation surgery... Please watch the detailed report below...]

Many people in the hall saw this news.

"Eye transplant?"

"Can we all change our eyes now?"

“I don’t know how much it will cost.”

"The fees are not expected to be too high. After all, Academician Jiang's reputation is known to all..."

"That too."

Just as a group of customers were discussing in low voices, Jiang Miao's figure appeared on the TV screen.

In the picture, the reporter asked a question with a smile.

[Academician Jiang, what are the characteristics and advantages of this technology? 】

[This technology can solve the rejection of current organ transplants, and can also solve the problem of insufficient natural organs, reducing ethical concerns in all aspects. ]

[Does that mean that other organs can be cultivated on a large scale in the same way in the future? ]

[Yes! ] Jiang Miao answered very affirmatively.

[Academician Jiang, my friends and I are very concerned about some issues, that is, when can this technology enter the formal application stage? What is the overall cost of the operation? ]

[It will take about one or two years for the technology to be officially launched on the market. We are currently conducting the first phase of clinical trials, and the performance of the first subject is very good.] Jiang Miao paused for a few seconds and continued to answer:

[As for the fees, don't worry. The estimated factory price of an artificial eyeball is about 5000 yuan. Adding other surgical and hospitalization costs, the total cost of eye transplant surgery will not exceed 5 yuan. After medical insurance reimbursement, it will be about to yuan.]

【Thank you very much for Academician Jiang’s answer. 】

Many viewers who were following this report quickly picked up their phones or turned on their computers to log on to the Hailufeng Hospital's cutting-edge technology column page.

A detailed description of the technique was soon found, along with a detailed report of the first transplant.

Especially those families with blind patients are more concerned about this report. Many people have called the consultation center of Hailufeng Hospital to consult related issues.

Except for people in China, they are concerned about this matter.

Other member states within the Asian Union are now also paying close attention to Seris's related technological breakthroughs.

Obviously, the emergence of non-rejection artificial organs has not only attracted relevant academic researchers, but also attracted close attention from many wealthy groups.

Xiangjiang, Mid-Levels Villa Area.

Inside Jiang Dahe’s villa.

Ding Dong Ding Dong… The housekeeper saw the person coming and immediately recognized him. She smiled and invited him in: “Eh? Isn’t this Boss Liu? Please come in. My boss just went out.”

"What is Boss Jiang busy with?" The elderly Boss Liu asked impatiently.

The family aunt did not make the call on her own initiative, but asked Boss Liu to make the call himself: "The boss seems to be having dinner with friends. If Boss Liu is anxious, you can call and ask."

"Okay." Boss Liu sat down, picked up his mobile phone and dialed Jiang Dahe's number.

After a while, the call was connected.

"Hello? Boss Liu?"

"It seems that my brother has not forgotten me. I feel very honored!"

"What's the matter, Boss Liu?"

"It's nothing important, I just came to visit, and I heard from your nanny that you were out, so I called to ask."

"Oh? Boss Liu is at my house now?"

"Yes! I'll just sit for a while and leave. You don't have to come back specially."

"I'm so sorry, I'm having dinner with some friends here. I'll treat you to dinner next time I have the chance."

"Then I won't be polite. Why not do it tonight? If you can't spare the time, tomorrow night will also be fine."

"Tonight? All right then!"

"Okay, okay, thank you for your kindness, brother. I'll choose the place. Then bring your sister-in-law and your two boys over so that we can get to know each other."

"can."

After hanging up the phone, Boss Liu didn't stay.

After coming out, he made a phone call to arrange a restaurant while thinking about how to make friends with Jiang Dahe's family.

Of course, he didn't really think highly of Jiang Dahe's family. After all, the old wealthy people in Hong Kong knew their background very well. They only had the support of the Hailufeng Company in the mainland to achieve their current status and wealth.

The reason why marriage is not considered.

It’s not that the wealthy families in Hong Kong haven’t thought about it, but Jiang Dahe cut the Gordian knot last year and directly arranged marriages for his two sons with two girls from ordinary families in the mainland.

Obviously Jiang Dahe was not blinded by interests, nor did he listen to his wife's wild ideas. He did not choose to marry into the wealthy Chinese families in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.

Making this choice actually shows that he still has some self-awareness.

Jiang Dahe knew that his nephew Jiang Miao had a neutral attitude towards his family. If he pushed his nephew too far, it would offend Jiang Miao.

There are pros and cons to marriage.

The advantage is a strong alliance.

The disadvantage is that once problems arise in a marriage, it is easy for the two parties to become enemies.

Jiang Dahe knew clearly the status and origin of his family's wealth. Even if he arranged a marriage, the other party would most likely be eyeing Jiang Miao, who was behind his family. This would be the real trouble.

When those wealthy families saw Jiang Dahe quickly get his son engaged, they knew that he had no intention of an alliance and gave up the idea.

Boss Liu returned home.

Sitting on the sofa, feeling the weakness of his body, made him want to live even more.

"Dad, why did you suddenly call me back?"

"There's a dinner party tonight and there are a few young people there. Ask Bosch to go with me and have some exchanges with them."

The middle-aged man frowned and said, "Dad, who is the guest?"

"Jiang family."

"Jiang family? Which Jiang family?"

Boss Liu rubbed his temples tiredly: "Which Jiang family is there? The Hailufeng Jiang family."

"Their family!" His son suddenly became serious: "Dad, although the Jiang family is powerful, their relationship with the Jiang family in the mainland is average. Is it necessary to pay so much attention to them?"

"What do you know? I'm on good terms with them not for business, but to leave a good impression on them so that it will be more convenient to communicate with the Jiang family in the mainland."

"Not for business?"

Boss Liu did not explain anything. After all, he would not tell his son that he wanted to live for a few more decades. After several kidney transplants, his health was getting worse and worse. If there was no other way, he probably would not survive more than two or three years.

After seeing relevant reports from the mainland today, his heart suddenly became lively.

After all, if he could replace his organs with a better one, maybe he could live for a few more decades. This is a temptation he cannot refuse.

He did not want to tell his son about this. After all, the other party probably hoped that he would die of old age so that he could get his inheritance.

Therefore, he planned to seek special medical treatment from Hailufeng Hospital through Jiang Dahe's channels, but he did not tell anyone about this.

the other side.

Jiang Dahe didn't feel at ease during the meal. Every now and then, wealthy people he knew would call him to test his luck.

This left him completely confused.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, he returned home and sat on the sofa, frowning as he thought about the intentions of those wealthy people who called him today.

"Dad, what are you thinking about?" The eldest son Jiang Feng opened a bottle of sugar-free cola.

Jiang Dahe thought about it and felt that the problem might be with his nephew Jiang Miao, so he raised his head and asked, "Is there anything special today?"

"Today?" Jiang Feng thought about it, and suddenly something flashed through his mind: "My cousin was on TV today. It seems that he has developed a new technology that can cultivate an artificial organ."

"Artificial organs?" Jiang Dahe seemed to understand something, then turned on his mobile phone and checked today's news.

Sure enough, he quickly found the relevant content. Based on the latest news reports and the age and physical condition of those wealthy people, he instantly understood what these people meant.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"It's okay. There is a dinner party tonight. You and Xiaojun can come with me." Jiang Dahe did not explain. He felt that this matter was acceptable as long as the right sense of propriety was achieved.

After all, the technology developed by his nephew will eventually be put on the market and will make money. He has no taboo in introducing these wealthy people to receive relevant treatments.

In addition to Jiang Dahe, Jiang Miao has also received many calls from friends and partners in the past few days. These people are also asking questions about organ transplantation.

Obviously, when facing death, the more powerful a person is, the less likely he is to face it calmly.

This is also human nature.

Jiang Miao did not hide too much in response to these phone calls. He only kept the content about superhumans, and told these people everything else about artificial organs and organ transplantation.

With the promotion of these people, it is estimated that the implementation speed of this technology will be faster. After all, only by quickly entering the clinical application stage can the safety of the technology be verified through a large number of treatment cases.
