PDLP Chapter 433: The Treasure Acquired at a Cost of 20,000
Chapter 433: The Treasure Acquired at a Cost of 20,000
A Dassault Falcon 900 aircraft took off from Shanghai Hongqiao Airport at 4 p.m. local time, heading east towards the United States. Since the aircraft's range is only over 8,000 kilometers, it will stop in Hawaii to refuel before continuing the second half of its journey. Its final destination is Pasadena, Los Angeles, where the HTG Fertility Center is located.
To facilitate this trip, Huang Xiaochuan donated $20 million to HTG Fertility Center for reproductive science research, to be used for research on human reproduction technology. In return for Huang Xiaochuan's generosity, HTG Fertility Center invited Huang Xiaochuan and his wife to visit the United States and to help the couple resolve some of their perplexing issues.
After a flight of more than ten hours, the plane landed safely at Los Angeles International Airport.
Having received a call in advance, Zhang Gaolei was already waiting for Huang Xiaochuan and his wife to arrive.
"Xiao Chuan!" Zhang Gaolei waved and shouted as soon as he saw Huang Xiao Chuan from afar.
When the two meet, they should naturally hug each other first.
Zhang Gaolei then shook hands with Yu Xiang: "Welcome, welcome!"
"Thanks!"
Only then did Huang Xiaochuan tease Zhang Gaolei: "Why are you dressed so formally, kid? All dressed up in a suit and tie?"
Zhang Gaolei gave a wry smile: "I just finished a business meeting and didn't have time to go home and change. I was afraid I wouldn't have enough time, so I came straight to the airport."
Huang Xiaochuan patted Zhang Gaolei on the shoulder to show his understanding. Now that Zhang Gaolei is the founder of a well-known new technology company, he is naturally receiving all kinds of invitations. This is a side effect that successful people must bear.
"Where will I stay tonight?"
"I just bought a property in Beverly Hills. The interior is all brand new. Knowing you were coming, I've already arranged for someone to furnish it. You two can stay there. It's very convenient for sightseeing and shopping, and it's also very close to Hollywood."
Zhang Gaolei didn't know Huang Xiaochuan's purpose in coming to the United States, and he didn't ask. Having known each other for so long, Zhang Gaolei knew Huang Xiaochuan's temperament. Since he hadn't said what he was doing in the United States, it was best not to ask.
Huang Xiaochuan nodded, quite satisfied with Zhang Gaolei's arrangements. Staying at home was indeed more convenient than staying in a hotel, and more importantly, it offered better privacy!
As for sightseeing and shopping, Huang Xiaochuan has no interest in those things for the time being.
"And what about you? You lent me the house, where are you going to live?"
"Of course I'm going back to Palo Alto. I usually live there. I bought a house here mainly for vacation use. I've had the property for over half a year now, and apart from visiting twice when I was looking at houses, I haven't been there at all since I bought it!"
Zhang Gaolei was telling the truth. Since becoming a newly rich billionaire, his life has undergone a dramatic change. He has now learned the lifestyle of wealthy Americans. He has bought mansions and yachts. There's no way around it; if you don't buy them, someone will take you to various luxury parties and yacht parties for free. These are all hosted by real estate developers and luxury goods companies, just to let you experience the life of the rich.
If you're a rich person, it's no wonder you get addicted after experiencing this a few times. Once you have this desire, business will come your way for those businessmen!
Furthermore, after cashing out twice, Zhang Gaolei has a large amount of cash on hand. He should either invest or spend this money; keeping it in his hands will only cause it to depreciate.

Therefore, acquiring valuable assets is the first choice. Zhang Gaolei has bought more than just this one mansion. He also owns a mansion in Florida and is currently planning to purchase a farm so that he can bring his parents to settle down there.
The elderly couple didn't like living in Shanghai. There were high-rise buildings everywhere, and they didn't even have a piece of land. They felt uncomfortable living there, and they couldn't go back to their hometown. So they bought a farm and brought it here, where they could farm however they wanted.
Zhang Gaolei then said to Huang Xiaochuan, "I know you're jet-lagged, so I won't treat you two to dinner tonight. I'll wait for your call. Let me know when you're done with your work, and I'll treat you two to dinner then."
"Okay, you go ahead and do your thing. I'll call you if anything comes up."
Yu Xiang was visiting the United States for the first time and was very curious about the exotic customs. On the way to Beverly Hills, she enjoyed the scenery outside the car window.
Zhang Gaolei's house is located in the Beverly Hills area, boasting an excellent view and the best location in the entire Beverly Hills, where the mansions are owned by wealthy Americans.
After resting for two days, Huang Xiaochuan took Yu Xiang to the HTG Reproductive Medical Center.
The couple naturally received the most comprehensive services. The medical center first conducted a thorough examination on Yu Xiang, and of course, they didn't overlook Huang Xiaochuan either. They first needed to confirm whether the eggs and their vitality were normal, and whether the recipient was eligible for embryo transfer. These examinations alone took several days.
A few days later, Dr. Susanna Fisher, the attending physician in charge of this IVF treatment, smiled and said to Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Xiang, "Your physical condition is very good, and you can proceed to the next stage of preparation."
Huang Xiaochuan translated Susanna's words to Yu Xiang, who was overjoyed and tightly grasped Huang Xiaochuan's hand.
Huang Xiaochuan patted Yu Xiang's hand and smiled at her!
The main task in the following period was to administer FSH injections to Yu Xiang, followed by egg retrieval within a certain timeframe. The egg retrieval process was quite complex.
The entire treatment process will take three months. Every so often, he will need to go to the medical center for the next stage of treatment. After that, Huang Xiaochuan will be free to wait for the medical center to cultivate the embryos and then perform the transfer.
However, at the same time, at another reproductive medical center in Newport Beach, California, a woman was also undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) embryo transfer.
HTG offers a rather humane service: the option to choose the sex of the fetus beforehand. Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Xiang discussed it and decided to keep one boy and one girl, so that they would have twins born in the future.
After reviewing the blood test results, Dr. Susanna happily announced to the couple, "Congratulations! You will have a healthy pair of babies in nine months."
"Thank you! Thank you!" Huang Xiaochuan happily handed out the red envelopes he had prepared to the medical staff who participated in this IVF treatment.
Seeing that these people seemed confused about the red envelopes, Huang Xiaochuan said in English, "This is a tip, as a way of thanking you!"
Only then did the medical staff, including Susanna, happily accept the red envelopes.
A few days later, Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Xiang returned to Shanghai with the two treasures they had acquired for over 20 million yuan. The entire process, from arrival to departure, took three months.
