"But..." Na Pali hesitated for a moment, then asked bravely, "Aren't all those too loyal goods going to be smashed into your hands?"
"He deserves it for his hoarding," Meng Yi said with a sullen face at first, and then smiled, "While we were able to produce, we bought his little inventory... We helped him arrange the giant salamander project, and even asked me for a project.
"
Na Pali laughed along with him at first, and then sighed, "But the preparations we are making now...are they a bit targeted?"
"Tsk," Meng Yi smacked his lips after hearing this, forgetting to mention the disgust in his heart.
From the bottom of his heart, he believed in Chen Taizhong's judgment. Although Xiao Chen sometimes did unreliable things, the things he did seriously had his own reasons.
Beichong was backward, and Secretary Meng also knew that Xiao Chen was willing to spend such a large sum of money to deal with a crisis, and there was definitely evidence in his hand - in fact, it is not difficult to implement the epidemic situation. Go to the epidemic area carefully
After some investigation, the results will be revealed.
The disease is a new type and highly contagious. This is enough - of course, it is not easy for ordinary people to get such information. The local area will definitely issue a gag order, but those who really have some ideas don't have to worry about finding out.
Thinking that the head of a community in a remote mountainous area was silently and actively responding to a possible national disaster, Meng Yi thought that as the secretary of the Bikong Provincial Party Committee, he could make some preparations, just by reaching out casually.
But Na Pali's reminder told him: Of course you can make preparations, but you might hit someone in the face - if that kind of phenomenon really happens, it is normal for the bureau committee to be involved.
I didn’t expect that I would reach this stage, but I would be less courageous than a community leader.
For a moment, Secretary Meng felt a little ridiculous and a little helpless. After thinking about it, he found a reason for himself - after all, it didn't happen. It's not easy for me to take action. Once it happens, it won't be like this.
.
At this people's meeting, to arrange for people to ask about the affairs over there, Meng Yi found another way: for a leader of his level to personally rush to the front to handle things, it may not be the best choice.
.
"Then let's introduce it to the Phoenix Science and Technology Commission," Meng Yi made up his mind, "tell Xu Shaohui's son. If Bi Kong needs it, he will give priority to supply... You can't always go to Xiao Chen, because you can't tolerate his problems."
Na Pali laughed again when he heard this. "He also told me that he was betting on the political future of the youngest district chief in the country."
Meng Yi snorted when he heard this, "Tsk, the political future...will he see that in his eyes?"
Xiao Chen's speculation is not 100% correct after all. Does this guy care about his political future if he bets like this?
Time passed day by day, and on the 23rd of the first lunar month, that is, February 23, 2003, the first batch of 500 infrared thermometers ordered by Beichong arrived. These thermometers were sold at a price of 4,500 each.
.In other words, it is worth 2.25 million yuan.
That night, employees of the district forestry bureau worked overtime to test all 500 thermometers. Especially near human body temperature, they even inserted a mercury thermometer into the water being tested to verify the values.
A deputy director of the district health bureau and two technicians observed the test.
Of the 500 units, 497 units were qualified. One unit was damaged during transportation, and two units were suspected of being insufficiently accurate. The manufacturer's representative quickly said that I would ship five more spare units immediately.
This is obviously caused by the lack of experience of the manufacturer. Wang Yuanyuan said with a sullen face: Why didn't you ship a few more units? Instead of five, just ship ten more.
That's right, Deng Bosong is helping me, refund more and make up less. You are shipping according to the quantity and don't prepare any balance - tsk, have you ever done any business?
We are a joint-stock enterprise. The manufacturer's representative replied with a grimace. Supervision is very tight. One unit costs RMB 4,800. The factory is preventing us from selling it privately and will not give spare units unless you issue a document with an official seal, and I
You have to take the substandard products back.
That's your business... In fact, no matter how much you bring, you can take back the unqualified and redundant ones. Deng Bosong scolded the other party with a sullen face. How can we get payment for the goods with your attitude?
Several people from the Health Bureau exchanged glances - this sentence was originally said by us. Alas, one sentence is worth a lot of money.
The customer was bullying the store, and the manufacturer immediately said that they would bring the goods by plane tomorrow. Ten units? That’s easy to say!
The next day, the district did not wait for anyone. Instead, it recruited 20 helpers, as well as personnel from the Forestry Bureau, Agriculture Bureau and Health Bureau, and the manufacturer explained how to use the infrared thermometer.
It's easy to learn how to use it, but there are also temporary faults to deal with, which take almost half a day. Moreover, Wang Yuanyuan was deeply influenced by Chen Taizhong and believed that "it's better to see it a thousand times than to do it once", so everyone should go on stage and do it again.
In the afternoon of that day, 447 thermometers were charged, and early the next morning, various key departments and intersections in Beichong were filled with inspectors holding infrared thermometers.
This brought a lot of inconvenience to everyone. The news was quickly reported to the municipal party committee and government. Chen Zhengkui was only a belated observer. He learned about it through the organization and knew that the disease in the south was indeed serious, so he decisively continued to keep silent - everyone
Everyone knows that I have always ignored Beichong.
But Li Qiang couldn't sit still. He couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore, so he called Chen Taizhong, "Taizhong, isn't your thermometer for measuring giant salamanders? How did it detect people?"
"The riots in the south are very turbulent. Anyway, I bought so many thermometers, so I have nothing to do." Chen Taizhong replied with a smile, "The early symptoms of ** are low fever, and this test is just right."
"Then you remember to explain it clearly to others, so as to save me from embarrassment," Li Qiang heard this guy talking about one thing after another, so he didn't bother to respond - you have the right words, so why should I bother you?
Chen Taizhong's rhetoric not only dealt with the city, but also the manufacturers. On this day, another 500 thermometers arrived, and the temperature of the delivery bus drivers was checked.
This manufacturer stopped working and asked whether you should check the people or the giant salamanders when you buy so many thermometers. As a result, the co-defense officer responsible for measuring body temperature ignored him and checked the people and the giant salamanders. This is what we are buying -
—Do you understand what a buyer’s market is?
This incident was not isolated. After two more delivery trucks were investigated, the news gradually spread, and the manufacturers of infrared thermometers began to consider what the people in Beichong were doing when they bought thermometers. Read the full text of Guanlu Hongyan.
However, this news is very tightly sealed, and even the defense personnel only know it, but don't know why - they know that people whose body temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius must wear masks and be detained.*
The word * was never mentioned by anyone.
At this point, even Qi Zhiwen and Chen Tieren kept a good silence. Secretary Chen was busy shopping in Chaotian, but what Secretary Qi was thinking was, I will just sit back and watch for a while. Chen Taizhong's prediction is correct, I won't
What to lose.
If the prediction is inaccurate, the goods that the district government throws into its hands will become a big joke. If I leak the news in advance, the government will not be able to suppress much goods, and the mistake can be undone, it will be inconvenient for the party committee to make a big fuss.
However, some people in the manufacturer still guessed that the prevention measures in Beichong were aimed at people in the south. This guess sounds a bit incredible, because in Yangzhou and even Chaotian, they did not receive such treatment. On the contrary, in Xiao
Little Beichong appeared.
Chen Taizhong doesn't care about the manufacturers' speculations. Now that it has started, it is necessary to grab as many goods as possible. At the same time, prevention must be carried out - we cannot ignore the possibility of the spread of the disease in order to rush for goods.
As for the fact that some manufacturers may suspend supply, he doesn't care. I've ordered so many goods. If you're willing to throw away such a big order, then don't supply it. When I have some free time, I'll have to go to other provinces to pursue your breach of contract.
gold.
His analysis was absolutely correct. The manufacturers had made some guesses, but the epidemic had not broken out and there was such a big order in front of them. Who was willing to lose it? All they could do was to try their best to find out the inside story - if there was ironclad evidence, they would immediately consider expanding
The production line is up.
But let alone ordinary people, not even Chen Taizhong himself can produce this irrefutable proof.
The vice president of a small company made a special trip to Beichong. After having his temperature measured with his own infrared thermometer, he asked around and discovered a problem. People with a body temperature exceeding 38 degrees Celsius were taken away by Beichong people.
Where was he taken? The vice president inquired carefully and found out that he was taken to a deserted hillside. Dozens of temporary tents were set up. During this period, medical staff wearing large masks came in and out, and there were three or four people nearby.
A hundred meters away, a house is being built.
About 20 people have been detained here. The explanation from Beichong people is that these people may be infected with the flu. The district brings them here for isolation, free treatment, and provides food and accommodation. Once cured, they can leave.
Chen Taizhong didn't have many memories of the epidemic, and there wasn't much data available in the south, not to mention virus samples. He wanted to keep a low profile, so he had to gather people with high body temperatures together first.
Treat a cold.
Those who can be cured can be released. Those who cannot be cured can be released if their condition does not worsen and their body temperature can be lowered within a week.
Before the vice president could take a closer look, he was stopped by a man in camouflage uniform wearing a mask, "Don't leave, this is for treating infectious diseases."
"What kind of infectious disease is so publicized?" He wanted to use a different tone.
"I don't know, urine and feces need to be disinfected," the co-preventer had a good attitude. He pointed to a small ridge more than 100 meters away. There, a staff member in white clothes was wearing a gas mask, holding a stick, and was walking on a small hill.
Stirring laboriously in a big white plastic bucket.
These are all Chen Taizhong’s memories of the epidemic. Feces must be thoroughly disinfected. It is said that at the peak of the epidemic, this kind of manure stirring work cost 150 yuan a day and could not even hire temporary workers. One was dangerous
, one is that it smells particularly unpleasant.
Is this really a precautionary measure? The vice president felt it was a bit ridiculous, right?
For Chen Taizhong, as for spending millions on prevention, it is better than a single case in the district - this thing is too contagious and cannot be left to chance.

I sent the old man to his grave, and the update was not on time. I basically didn’t have time to sleep in the past two days, and I may not be on time tomorrow. Please forgive me.
