Chapter 73 The Prophet

I'm afraid everyone can recall this disaster when we talk about it. What happened in Beijing from 2002 to 2003?

Yes, it was SARS, which came and went in a hurry. This infectious disease began to appear at the end of 2002, first in the south. It is said that people there got a strange disease, somewhat similar to a severe cold, and died.

The rate is very high. People there started to rush to buy salt, white vinegar and medicine like crazy. A common antibiotic that costs 10 yuan can be sold for more than 80 yuan in the drug store. Isatis masks are out of stock. It is said that many medical staff

were also infected.

People living in Beijing at that time did not pay too much attention to this matter. In their impression, the south and the north were in the vast territory of China, and they were separated by mountains and rivers. A mere cold would probably be spread before crossing the Yangtze River.

Eliminate it. But they forget that this is no longer ancient times, but modern times with very developed transportation. In this era, the thousands of mountains and rivers in their minds only need to fly for 2 or 3 hours to turn the ravines into roads.

In Hong Tao's memory, Beijing only discovered this infectious disease after the Spring Festival in 2003. It is said that it was brought to Beijing by a Shanxi businessman doing business in Guangzhou. She was transferred to Beijing from a hospital in Taiyuan.

People's Liberation Army 301 Hospital, then this high-risk infectious disease spread rapidly in Beijing.

Hong Tao still clearly remembers that the most popular product sold in Beijing at that time was masks. All kinds of masks were sold out immediately as long as they were in stock. Then there was Isatis root. I don’t know where the news came from, saying that this traditional Chinese medicine can prevent SARS.

, then this very common cold medicine disappeared from the counters of major pharmacies.

After it was determined that Beijing had become the hardest hit area by SARS, many non-local people did not dare to go to Beijing anymore, and non-local people in Beijing would also think of various ways to leave. Some units in Beijing gave their employees holidays.

, many schools where SARS or suspected SARS were discovered also suspended classes.

At that time, Beijing became deserted. There were no more traffic jams on the streets, no traffic jams during rush hour, and no flow of people in the business district. Many restaurants and shops closed down this year.

Because there are really no guests, the number of out-of-towners has been reduced by more than half, and the locals are staying at home and not going out. No matter how greedy the gluttons are, they will not risk their lives to wander around in such public places and let them

Who are the goods sold to?

Hong Tao remembered that his company was also on vacation at that time. Because no tourist spot was willing to receive the group from Beijing, the travel agency simply gave employees a vacation. Hong Tao originally planned to use this vacation to go fishing in the surrounding reservoirs, but his

This wish came to nothing, because the areas surrounding Beijing are not very welcoming to Beijingers. Checkpoints have been set up at all intersections leading from Beijing to the outside world. All vehicles coming from Beijing need to be disinfected, and the people on the vehicles must also be disinfected.

You must undergo a body temperature check, and if any abnormality is found, you will be immediately quarantined.

It is impossible to go to other places. Even the suburban counties of Beijing do not welcome people from the city. Those farmhouse owners who usually see city people as if they are relatives would rather not make money than treat the city people.

He coaxed him out of his yard. In this case, Hong Tao was not idle. He went to Qingnian Lake Park and fished steadily for several months. That summer was the most comfortable summer he had ever lived.

I didn’t have to worry about work, and I didn’t have to listen to my wife nagging me about fishing all day long. Because there weren’t many people in the park at that time, it was less likely to catch that damn infectious disease if I went to the park.

With the lessons learned from his previous life, Hong Tao doesn't plan to spend several months in Qingnian Lake Park in this life. He plans to take advantage of this time to go out for a walk, and he can't just wander around China, in case he gets infected with SARS.

But that was over. He planned to go abroad for a tour, so that he could avoid the SARS period and get a taste of the fishing environment abroad, killing two birds with one stone.

Moreover, Hong Tao does not plan to take the sightseeing route of the travel agency. First, it has nothing to do with fishing. Second, the tour group’s stay abroad is too short, which cannot achieve Hong Tao’s purpose of avoiding Beijing during the entire SARS period. According to Hong Tao’s plan

, he will have to stay abroad for at least 3 or 4 months, preferably before the Spring Festival, and then return to China after June.

However, it is basically impossible for Hong Tao to complete this plan alone, because he has no relatives abroad and cannot be invited by foreign institutions, so he cannot obtain a visa to go abroad. Without a visa, there is no chance of going abroad. Since it cannot be done by one person

At this point, Hong Tao could only think of ideas among all the people he knew. In fact, he had already thought of it. Among all the people he knew, only two people had this ability, one was Sam and his wife, and the other was Zhou Xiaoli.

In fact, Sam and his wife are not considered to have this ability. They are just foreign teachers. If Hong Tao goes to the United States, their reception will be okay. Asking them to help apply for a U.S. visa will definitely not work, so Hong Tao does not plan to ask others.

this problem.

Then only Zhou Xiaoli was left. Hong Tao remembered that she told him that she was sent by Dawa Headquarters. Although she had the title of secretary, she had no affiliation with Mr. Zhou. Since it was

Hong Tao, a staff member of the Dawa head office, wanted to ask her if she could use her connections with foreign companies to help Hong Tao get a visa. Because he would have to stay abroad for several months, it would be a complete dream to apply for a visa all by himself.

.

However, this Zhou Xiaoli has not shown up since signing the contract, and Hong Tao does not have her contact information. He once called Mr. Zhou to ask. Mr. Zhou said that as soon as he arrived in Changchun, Secretary Zhou returned to the Japanese headquarters. As for when

When he came back, he couldn't tell clearly. However, Mr. Zhou was still very enthusiastic. He said that he could help Hong Tao contact Zhou Xiaoli, but he didn't know whether he would get a reply.

If Zhou Xiaoli cannot be found, there will be no way to go abroad. Hong Tao can only put away this thought and concentrate on dealing with this finals, because even if Zhou Xiaoli comes back, if he does not get a good ranking, he will not be able to win against Da.

If the tile company has no use value, I am afraid that this Japanese woman will not do herself a favor just because she has had physical contact. The relationship between the two people is purely a physical vent, and there is neither emotion nor emotion.

There is no friendship.

This time there are some slight differences in the elimination methods of the finals, preliminary rounds, and semi-finals. It is no longer the fishermen competing together in a pond, but a method in which the contestants compete individually and are eliminated in layers.

The 32 finalists were divided into 8 groups by drawing lots, with 4 people competing in groups, and then the top 2 players with points entered the next round.

The anglers who have entered the top 16 will be divided into 8 groups for one-on-one PK. The winning party will enter the top 8, and then be divided into 4 groups. The winning party will enter the top 4, and then be divided into 2 groups. The winning party will enter.

In the championship and runner-up competition, the remaining two people enter the competition for 3rd and 4th place.

This kind of competition is more confrontational. Players need to participate in more games and the difficulty is also increased. If they want to get the top three, the participating players must win at least 5 complete first and second half games.

However, considering the enjoyment of the game, the single game time of this PK game has been shortened. Each game totals 30 minutes and is divided into two halves. The winning method has also changed from the number of catches to whoever catches first.

Whoever catches 10 fish or catches the most fish within 15 minutes.

Hong Tao is not worried about how many competitions there are, because he relies entirely on bait and not on skills, so there is no problem of abnormal performance. As long as the fish in the pond like his bait, then Hong Tao is confident no matter how many competitions there are.

Win, and the more games you play, the more proficient your skills will be, and the more obvious your advantage in winning will be.

As the date of the competition approached, Wang Jian, Yang Ke and Fatty Gao were even more nervous than Hong Tao himself. They dragged Hong Tao to another competition venue and forced Hong Tao to practice various technical details of competitive fishing. Hong Tao also knew

Although they were extremely irritated in their hearts due to their good intentions, they still had to deal with it on the surface. They gritted their teeth and went there twice, and then they refused to go.
