Serge, if you are a citizen of New Zealand you do not have to bother yourself with visa free transit schemes because the citizens of New Zealand are allowed to enter and to stay in China for up to 15 days absolutely visa free. If you are not citizens of New Zealand, but a country that needs a visa to enter China, you will be covered by 24 hour visa free transit and you do not need any kind of visa.
It is important the detail you have clearly mentioned that your entire transit time in China is shorter than 24 hours counting from your scheduled arrival in Shenzhen until your scheduled departure time from Beijing.
Everything you should do is to declare at check-in in Auckland that you will fly to Moscow via China using 24 hour visa free transit. After a short check in Timatic, you will be allowed to board on Shenzhen bound plane. Upon landing in Shenzhen the first thing you will do is to approach 24/144 hour visa free transit where you will apply for a temporary entry permit to be allowed to cross the immigration because your next flight will be a domestic one. Here you will present your flight tickets and this application is free of any charge.
After your permit is granted, you will cross the immigration and walk to the gate for your flight to Beijing. Everything else is easy and you will cross immigration once again in Beijing because you will formally exit China and head to the gate for your flight to Moscow. Have a nice journey.
