Following Beijing and Wuhan, on October 16, 2012, seven departments in Shenzhen jointly investigated and dealt with a black market of egg trading. Shenzhen also investigated and dealt with a case of illegal egg trading.
After an egg is removed from the mother, the black market price starts at 20,000 yuan, and its ability to bring in substantial profits for the black marketers makes the black marketers who purchase these eggs arrogant: renting a nursing home in Longhua New District, purchasing tens of millions of yuan worth of surgical equipment, and creating an underground operating room. When this egg in the operating room and infertile families to provide sperm combination, the value has risen to nearly 200,000 yuan. This nursing home also has activities for pregnant women, and the industry chain created by black intermediaries has also spawned surrogacy services.
The black brokerage named "Anshengda" put forward a series of harsh requirements for egg donors: undergraduate graduates, 85, beautiful, taller than 1.65 meters, healthy, the better the donor conditions, the higher the price. According to the person in charge of the black intermediary, although the company is in Shenzhen, but the source of the donor includes Guangzhou, Beijing and other places.
According to China's laws, this kind of underground egg trade is expressly prohibited because of the harm to the health of women who supply eggs, and the risk is huge. Yesterday, the Shenzhen Health Supervision Bureau and seven other departments smashed the premises engaged in illegal egg trading in one fell swoop.
Mysterious nursing home
The Ande Care Hall in Longhua New District belongs to the Minzhi Activity Center for the Elderly. In addition to the name, this nursing home seems to have nothing to do with the "elderly". The third floor corridor is drying baby clothes, and the courtyard is full of pregnant women.
The absence of elderly people in the nursing home is a strange phenomenon that has aroused the curiosity of nearby residents. But everyone who tries to get close to the home is chased away by the guards. Mr. Xie, who has lived here for three years, revealed that he had tried to enter the garden and was expelled by the security guards, who told him there were no elderly people here.
According to neighborhood residents, the nursing home, which has no elderly people, has young women walking in from time to time and then not coming out. What's even stranger is that on many weekends, the nursing home comes alive with the bustle of luxury cars, many unfamiliar faces, and residents have witnessed doctors and nurses moving around.
The Ande Care Hall is a small, three-story building in a fairly secluded location, and because the Longhua Veteran Cadre Activity Center in which it is located has been deserted for a long time, the curtains in the second-floor rooms are tightly closed, even on weekdays. What does this organization do? What kind of people stay inside? Even a wall of Shayuanpu community residents, not many say up.
The door plate shows that the organization responsible for the operation of this place is called Anshengda Industrial Co. And the function of this place is defined as a multi-purpose welfare institution facility for the elderly.
But according to the Nandu reporter investigation, the first floor here has long been transformed into a meeting room, a thick glass door will be separated from the first floor above the floor. A nurse guarding the door, the face of unfamiliar visitors is a high degree of vigilance. Even in the face of a reporter visiting as a customer, the same face said: "Without permission, no one is allowed to enter."
It's also hard to get a glimpse of the mysterious floor through the tall buildings of nearby homes. But according to people familiar with the place's inner workings, the nursing home's secretive nature lies precisely on the second floor.
According to anonymous sources, the second floor is filled with a variety of sophisticated medical equipment in multiple small compartments, up the stairs to the left is the operating room and embryo culture room, which is usually closed only after the young woman walks into the small courtyard, the two usually closed rooms will be opened. The other rooms are full of precision instruments.
It is understood that the real purpose of this nursing home for egg collection and artificial embryo culture. Nandu reporter through a number of ways to unannounced visit was informed that the young woman, driving a luxury car male, high-precision medical equipment, respectively, are the major elements of the transaction: young women were injected with ovulation injection was sent to the operating room, the doctor used the equipment to extract from the body of the many eggs were urged to row, and as a buyer of the male will be the agency operator to provide sperm. Using high-tech equipment, these sperm are screened and injected into the eggs to fertilize them. This process requires high-tech equipment and specialized doctors. After all the procedures are completed, the fertilized egg will be sent to the mother's body to be nurtured into a baby after 10 months of pregnancy.
Aspirational owner
"Those who used to do this made money. Now there are more people doing it and the profits have been diluted." The boss behind this intermediary, surnamed Guo, in his early 40s and engaged in the medical equipment business, downplayed the fact that when he said this, a Volkswagen with more than 200,000 yuan was parked outside the door. Nandu reporter to the identity of the egg donor with this black intermediary contact and gain trust, over a period of two months, and finally get the opportunity to interview with them. Because of the most central link - egg collection and embryo culture, in addition to their own business, Guo boss can also undertake other intermediaries packaged over the work, from which to draw water.
"It used to go to hospitals in Guangzhou to do it, and hospitals in Shenzhen could do it before, but now the control is tight, so you only have to smash your own money to get it done." Guo boss revealed that the rent of Ande Yiyutang about 200,000 yuan per month, operating room and embryo culture room of a series of equipment to buy, he and his partners invested tens of millions of dollars, "and large hospitals to do IVF equipment, regular hospitals how to do it, how we do it."
As soon as the words left his mouth, three or five pot-bellied women entered the room, speaking dialects from all over the world, and affectionately calling Mr. Guo, Mr. Zhang. They were surrogate mothers. Until the baby is delivered, they must live here, watched over by female assistants and nurses. "These people were all working girls before, and when they don't think they earn enough, or are in desperate need of money, they come to do this," says Fen, Boss Guo's assistant. If one of the wives in some of the families who buy eggs is still unable to conceive, they will go along to offer surrogacy, a service that also costs around 200,000 yuan.
And the other way to the infertile family identity of the Nandu reporter was told, fertilized eggs cultivated successfully, will be sent to the infertile family wife's body gestation, but if it is too much trouble or physical conditions are not suitable, gestation link can also be handed over to the agency management of the surrogate mother. If you pay an extra 20,000 yuan, the intermediary can also screen the sperm to ensure the birth of a male baby.
