Originally there was just some news from the north.
As someone in Hong Kong was infected, more and more people paid attention to the matter, and masks suddenly became popular.
Su Yehao arranged things at home and gave Nong Qingying and Nangong Tian a grounding order.
Jiang Yu called and asked for his opinion, "My dad asked you what to do with Hong Kong Hao Travel. Many tourists choose to refund, and many guests in Hong Kong City want to end their trip early."
"Are there many people like this?" Su Yehao asked.
Jiang Yu told him via mobile phone: "It's not too much for the time being. My dad has gone to communicate with the relevant departments. There should be no preparations for this yet. We can only make the decision ourselves first."
"Then wait for the notice first and don't act too nervous. New tourist groups will be canceled for the time being. Other tourists can also refund their money if they want. Once the storm has passed, it will not take long for things to return to normal."
Through the glass door of the balcony, Su Yehao saw his daughter staggering towards her. He hurriedly waved his hand to the confinement sister-in-law, signaling her to take the little one away first.
His daughter had a confused look on her face and kicked her legs in the air a few times, almost making Su Yehao laugh.
Jiang Yu didn't know this, so he went on to tell me: "I have asked my parents to pay attention to their safety. Tianyu Entertainment's concert has also been postponed. Nangong bought a lot of snacks and put them at home. When will you come from the United States?"
Come back. Also, it seems that there are only two patients that can be confirmed, are you sure you want to be so nervous?"
"The problem is that it has an incubation period. How do you know that there are only two cases? Maybe you passed by someone at close range and got infected. This is considered a gray rhinoceros incident. If it is not handled well, it will run rampant, leading to profound consequences.
That's why I asked you to stay home. The work here in Silicon Valley is almost finished, and I plan to go back tomorrow."
Coming to the computer, Su Yehao opened Google and searched for keywords.
I found that two influential newspapers, the San Francisco Chronicle and the Los Angeles Times, had already mentioned the infection, but there were not many comments under the News Microblog post.
This is mainly because the problem has just started to appear and has not caused serious damage. They don't care what is happening on the other side of the ocean.
To be honest, in the eyes of many residents of the United States, the world seems to be only as big as the continental United States, and they are indifferent to anything outside.
I didn't think anything was wrong at first.
However, the Washington government made a lot of noise, and several familiar names appeared in the news one after another, mentioning things in the mainland. This made Su Yehao suddenly feel that something was a little strange.
He is no longer the newbie he was back then. He has been exposed to the situation all year round, and his grasp of the situation is getting better and better.
In Su Yehao's view, these practices are very much like diverting people's attention, deliberately making people pay attention to what is happening in Hong Kong and the mainland in order to cover up certain things.
Immediately afterwards.
He checked other news and found nothing wrong recently. When he saw the news that a fleet had appeared in the Strait of Hormuz, Su Yehao was stunned by this news.
If I remember correctly, this place is the gateway to the Persian Gulf, and its geographical location is very important.
Jiang Yuxu chatted for a while, asking him several times without getting a reply. At this moment, he sounded dissatisfied: "It's early in the morning over there. What are you busy with? If anything happens, I'll rest first."
Su Yehao came back to his senses and replied:
"Something feels wrong. There is a fleet rushing all the way from the Indian Ocean and directly blocking the Strait of Hormuz. It looks like a bully blocking the door to collect debts. Maybe you should increase your position and go long in crude oil futures today. I'm afraid there will be action next."
"Come on, I don't understand these things. I'm sleeping with your wife in my arms. Do you want to say a few words to her?"
As soon as Jiang Yu finished speaking, his phone was snatched away by Nangong Tian. She told him, "Jiang Yu has been cleared. It's a pity that Brother Hao is not at home, so we can play by ourselves."
Hear the words.
Su Yehao has a sense of pictures.
He hurriedly said: "Don't worry, you two will work with me from home, I have plenty of time to take care of you..."
After chatting for a while, we hung up the phone.
Su Yehao once again looked at several speeches from the East Coast this morning. They were basically trying to get attention, shouting, "Look! Something big happened over there, there is gossip!"
Many things happen every day around the world. It is inevitable that he will feel a little weird when he is taken so seriously when few people pay attention to it.
Anyway, the price of crude oil futures has risen slightly, and some profits have been saved.
Su Yehao was too lazy to confirm his guess, so he made a blind guess first, called someone to increase his position, and continued to increase leverage to go long in crude oil futures before the New York Futures Exchange closed.
…
at the same time.
In the headquarters of Red Panda Online Mall in Pengcheng, the CEO who had just returned from Jinling Logistics Center was named Dai Yuzhe.
This person once worked at Amazon's Japanese branch and graduated from Stanford Business School.
In the early 1990s, as a student sent by the Grand Duke to study abroad, he worked hard on his own, worked on a project with a Nobel laureate, successfully received a scholarship, successfully completed his PhD, and later joined Amazon.
Last year, Su Yehao asked someone to recruit a suitable manager from Amazon. By chance, Dai Yuzhe jumped ship to help him build the Red Panda Online Mall from scratch.
Su Yehao said a few words lightly, saying that he would sell masks for one yuan a piece.
This thing doesn't seem difficult, but it has put CEO Dai Yuzhe through a lot of trouble. He has to send out millions of parcels in just a few days. For the current Red Panda Online Mall, it is simply a huge pressure.
Purchasing packaging boxes, packing, filling in order numbers, coordinating logistics, loading and transportation, delivery, etc. all require energy. Today, there are millions of new registered accounts, many of which are applied by the whole family, and the website server is almost blocked.
It collapsed.
Masks suddenly became a hot commodity, and wearing them made Yu Zhe both painful and happy.
He still remembered that Su Yehao said last year that there must be a market for masks because of the serious pollution in the mainland, and he piled up a huge amount of medical dust masks in the logistics warehouse.
I didn’t expect that most of the inventory that I had been unable to sell and thought it might take three to five years to be exhausted was sold out today.
In order to attract new users, he came up with a marketing plan overnight, saying that he planned to release 100,000 pieces every day. It would take at least three days to process the current order.
From a marketing perspective, Dai Yuzhe was impressed by his wit.
Unexpectedly, within five minutes of the email being sent out, I received a reply from Su Yehao, which simply said, "Do not sell in batches. Saving people is like putting out fires. We are temporarily hiring people to find cars. We must finish the delivery as soon as possible. I will negotiate with the postal management."
."
Dai Yuzhe didn't think how serious the situation outside was, but when he thought about it, he just thought that Su Yehao was standing high and had a far-sighted view. He heard about the rumors in advance, and immediately typed a reply, "Received, I will do my best to build the Red Panda brand."
!”
Here in Silicon Valley, Su Yehao is already building blocks with his daughter.
Dai Yuzhe’s email, of course, disappeared into the sea...
