Zhang Nuclear is limited to high consumption news on hot search, nucleic acid fraud sparks heated discussion.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the controversy surrounding Zhang Hezi, who relied on nucleic acid testing, has led to restrictions on high consumption and a mandatory execution of about 200,000 yuan (RMB). This news quickly made headlines and became a hot topic of discussion. At the height of the pandemic, his nucleic acid testing business rapidly expanded, reaching a turnover of 450 million yuan in just six months. Now, he has become a defaulter subject to enforcement measures, reigniting public attention on the issue of false nucleic acid testing.

According to information from the Qichacha app, on February 10th, Zhang Hezi, legal representative of Shenzhen Geneson Genetics Technology Co., Ltd., was restricted from high consumption for failing to fulfill payment obligations in a labor dispute case, and was subjected to a mandatory execution of around 200,000 yuan in January.

Zhang Hezi currently serves as the chairman of Geneson Genetics Group (Shenzhen) and the legal representative of several companies, including Shenzhen Geneson Genetics Technology Co., Ltd.

His peak popularity came in 2022 during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in mainland China, when nucleic acid testing was in high demand.

In 2022, Zhang Hezi registered dozens of nucleic acid testing institutions nationwide. According to official introductions, Geneson Genetics Group’s subsidiary, Geneson Huaxi Medical, participated in nucleic acid testing in 18 cities hit hard by the outbreaks, including Wuhan, Beijing, Dalian, Xinjiang, Shijiazhuang, and Shanghai, with a total of over 700 million tests conducted.

Public reports indicate that in just six months from March to September 2020, Geneson Genetics’ nucleic acid testing business generated a turnover of 450 million yuan.

During the pandemic, “Geneson Huaxi” was omnipresent. This institution, controlled by Zhang Hezi with Zhang Shanshan as a director, owned more than 30 nucleic acid testing companies. Several affiliated nucleic acid testing companies have been penalized for falsifying test results.

In 2023, Zhang Hezi’s affiliated companies were fined only 73,500 yuan for nucleic acid falsification, a drastic difference from the expected “harsh penalties”, sparking controversy. Netizens compared this to cases where laborers selling vegetables were heavily fined, highlighting a perceived lack of fairness in the punishment.

The public believes that as a public health service, nucleic acid testing companies should prioritize social responsibility over pursuing excessive profits.

Some netizens point out that the explosive growth of the nucleic acid testing industry during the pandemic has exposed significant loopholes in qualification review and quality supervision, leading to rampant irregularities.

From earning billions to facing restrictions on high consumption, Zhang Hezi’s journey has sparked widespread discussion, with the news trending. The focus of online discussions remains on his company’s nucleic acid testing practices.

Netizen “Cold Frost Lonely Shadow LV”: Zhang Hezi has almost monopolized many places, almost wiping out the market share of local testing companies.

“Smart and Not Eating Wood Ear”: Zhang Hezi’s downfall proves that wealth accumulation through improper means is destined for a fall, regardless of how flashy it may appear.

“Wendy Walks with You”: Just think about nucleic acid testing – wherever the company sets up, outbreaks follow. Isn’t that horrifying?
