On March 31, 2003, more than 100 residents of Tower E of Amoy Gardens in Hong Kong were explosively infected with SARS, which truly brought this serious public health and safety incident to its climax.
The outbreak of SARS was so fast and so contagious that countries in Southeast Asia, as well as the United States, Japan, Europe and other places have taken preventive measures and placed a high degree of vigilance on inbound and outbound passengers to prevent the spread of the epidemic disease.
At this time, several months had passed since SARS was first discovered. The epidemic had spread to more than a dozen countries and regions, showing an explosive increase in the number of people infected with the epidemic.
As the hardest-hit area by the epidemic, Guangdong Province has taken particularly strict precautions. There are temperature-checking facilities and health prevention and control personnel at the entrances of stations, docks, and densely populated public places, and suspected cases are isolated and treated.
Wang Yaocheng and his party, who were inspecting domestic production companies, were stranded in Central Plains Province, and their original trip to Guangdong Province was forced to be cancelled.
The Yellow River Industrial Park in Central Plains Province is mainly based on OEM companies and has gathered a large number of small and medium-sized supporting companies in the electronics industry. The total number has reached more than 200 and employs nearly 700,000 people. It has truly become an emerging industrial city.
Here, strict health and epidemic prevention measures are also implemented.
The air was filled with the sour smell of old vinegar. Every pedestrian on the street was wearing a mask. A white ambulance responsible for epidemic prevention was parked at the street entrance, along with several health and epidemic prevention personnel in white coats.
The motorcade quickly passed the intersection and soon entered the highway heading to the airport.
Wang Yaocheng was sitting in the car and answering the phone. This was a call from his mother, Chen Xiulian, from Huaizhou.
"...Hmm, Mom, I'm fine. This disease is almost like influenza, only a little more serious.
Uh... okay, I promise not to worry you, you know... I will definitely pay attention to my own safety.
...Okay... I can't go to Guangdong Province. Haha, Hong Kong is also an area with a high incidence of epidemics. I plan to go back to my hometown of Huaizhou to stay for a while and will leave soon.
Don’t worry, be sure to pay attention.”
After putting down the phone, Wang Yaocheng smiled bitterly and touched his forehead. Fortunately, he didn't have a fever.
The mother is worried when her son travels thousands of miles.
On the phone, Chen Xiulian earnestly urged Wang Yaocheng to feel the sincere care from her relatives, and she did not feel her mother was nagging her at all.
Regarding the SARS epidemic, Wang Yaocheng, as a reborn person, had no good solution.
After all, he is not a medical scholar, nor does he have a superhuman physique that can withstand bullets. His understanding of SARS disease is not much better than that of ordinary people.
Through his past and present experiences, Wang Yaocheng still felt powerless in the face of the atypical virus and there was not much he could do.
The consortium enterprises ordered a large amount of medical equipment from abroad, worth tens of millions of yuan, and donated it to corresponding domestic infectious disease hospitals, making a small contribution to the fight against serious infectious diseases.
On March 26, HSBC donated 1.2 million sets of protective clothing to frontline personnel fighting SARS in China.
On March 27, Carrefour supermarket opened its doors to sell various rice vinegar and mature vinegar products at low prices, and distributed free masks to shoppers.
On March 27, Shenzhen Changjiang Industrial Park announced that it would donate medical equipment worth 16 million yuan to the health department of Guangdong Province and also donate 100 medical vans.
On March 28, the Royal Family Foundation announced that it would donate 1,000 prefabricated houses, 200 medical ambulances, and corresponding medical equipment in Beijing.
…
The rest is to improve the epidemic prevention system and cooperate with the government to do its best in health and epidemic prevention work.
Tell the truth!
From the bottom of his heart, Wang Yaocheng does not believe that a mask or isatis root can enhance resistance. It is purely a psychological effect.
Doctors and nurses in the hospital will be infected even if they wear several layers of isolation gowns. This shows that the virus is so violent and contagious that it is unprecedentedly powerful.
Amoy Gardens in Hong Kong is the most vivid example. More than 100 people were infected through the sewer facilities, which is simply shocking.
This thing is invisible and colorless, and no one knows whether it will be tricked, so it has caused a lot of panic in the society.
Fortunately, the government reports new cases of the disease every day. This measure is extremely important and has greatly alleviated unnecessary panic.
The central and western provinces are not high-incidence areas, and people's hearts are relatively stable.
The most critical thing is the resolute isolation measures taken by the government to isolate suspected cases, cutting off the spread of the source of infection.
The fight against SARS can achieve a final and decisive victory. Wang Yaocheng feels that this measure is a great contribution and can infinitely reduce the probability of infection.
As for SARS, the epidemic finally stopped abruptly and disappeared silently.
Wang Yaocheng secretly guessed:
This should not be the effect of a vaccine. This is the intense contagiousness of the SARS virus at the beginning of its birth. It is passed from descendant to grandson, and grandson to great grandson. From generation to generation, the blood becomes thinner, and in the end even the most lethal contagiousness is lost.
So-called:
Unfilial descendants ruin the majesty of their ancestors in vain, which is probably the origin of this.
The SARS epidemic in early 2003 did not affect the company's product sales and business growth.
From the industrial park, a steady stream of massive products are produced and transported to various parts of the world by cars, airplanes, and sea ships, showing a gratifying situation of booming production and sales.
After the special flight returned to Huaizhou, at the airport, a group of people honestly accepted the epidemic prevention quarantine. They could go home only after 24 hours if there were no abnormalities.
More than a dozen epidemic prevention personnel wearing protective clothing and carrying spray buckets boarded the Boeing 747 plane to conduct a comprehensive disinfection of the plane.
Sitting in a small room and looking out the window through the glass, it feels a bit like seeing the scene in the Hollywood movie "Resident Evil".
Looking back, I saw two simple beds in the small house, covered with white sheets that smelled strongly of disinfectant.
Qi Yafei smiled and sat on the small bed reading a comic book. She took off a pair of leather shoes and hung them to dry under the bed. She lay on her side and made an S pose. The painting style was quite eye-catching.
"Brother Yafei, do you have to lie like this?"
"What's wrong with me?"
"Hey, this look is so disgusting! And can you put on those shoes of yours? The smell of socks is so strong."
"Ah... no way, my socks don't stink at all."
Qi Yafei sat up in surprise, moved his feet over and sniffed under his nose, with a confused look on his face after taking drugs: "I'd say it doesn't stink at all! There's also a touch of musk, which smells pretty good."
Wow! This is really intolerable.
Wang Yaocheng was so angry that he grabbed the fruit knife on the table and yelled: "If you don't put it away, I will chop him into pieces and throw him outside to feed the dogs."
"Don't bother me, it's easy to say, everything is easy to say." Qi Yafei quickly begged for mercy.
"Cover me with a quilt, my head hurts from the smell of your stinky feet, you greasy old man should also pay attention to your hygiene."
Wang Yaocheng casually grabbed the thin quilt and threw it on him. He fanned his nose with his hand and felt much better.
Why don’t I feel this crazy when I’m alone with a lesbian?
Qi Yafei put the quilt on her feet with some grievance, and muttered: "It's broad daylight and the bed is in a mess. People push the door and come in. They don't know what we are doing. It's like they've been in a fight."
What a bad impact.”
you……
Wang Yaocheng is really full of evil and wants to kill this annoying guy. "Brother Yafei, how expensive are you this year?"
"Oh, I'm going to be 40 years old in a blink of an eye. What gifts are you going to give me then?"
"Mirror, a big mirror three meters high, you can see yourself in every detail."
"You're so stingy, why do you think it comes with a luxurious manor even with a mirror? I don't mind it."
"Have your dream in autumn! Don't think about this good thing. I will only give houses to my own women. I have no habit of giving houses to middle-aged greasy men."
"Haha, forget it if you don't give it away."
Qi Yafei just said that he didn't care about the luxurious manor.
He is now also a rich man worth billions of dollars, owning 0.6% of Yahoo's preferred shares, 8.5% of Athlon Microprocessor Company, and partial investments in a series of Silicon Valley Internet high-tech companies.
Only the 0.6% preferred equity of Yahoo that was liquidated was worth more than 1.2 billion U.S. dollars, making him a real boss.
"Acheng, I am planning to launch a domestic high-tech industry fund. I have already thought of a name. It will be called Redstone Fund. Do you want to support it?"
Wang Yaocheng chewed on these two words with interest: "Redstone...hehehehe...Sequoia Fund, Red Hat, Redstone Fund, Blackstone Fund, that's about it. I really don't have any creativity at all. Just listen."
It’s boring.”
"You don't care whether you have fun or not. You're not going to KTV nightclubs to impress girls. As long as it works, is your name just a symbol?" Qi Yafei looked very unhappy.
"What are the main aspects?"
"Internet high-tech startups, emerging energy, chips, front-end and back-end manufacturing, AI intelligence, robotics and cloud computing fields cover a wide range of areas and can drive related domestic industries to form a scale cluster effect and improve the overall level."
"My darling, how much does it cost to do this?"
Qi Yafei said confidently: "I have contacted everyone. Those who are rich can offer one or two billion, and those who have no money can offer tens of millions or even a few million. Well... We have more than 200 senior executives in our consortium.
People, the current intention to invest is
It’s more than 2 billion US dollars! Some partners are also willing to join. SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son is willing to provide 1 billion US dollars. I am going to provide 500 million US dollars, and then ask you to come up with more than 10 billion US dollars. A few times, 20 billion will be enough.
.”
"You took out five and asked me to pay more than 100. Are you making a fuss? I won't do it myself with this kind of money. Do you have a fever if I join you in knitting?"
Wang Yaocheng was so angry that he burst out laughing, sat down on the bed and ignored him.
"Hey, Acheng, this is a great thing that will benefit the country and the people!"
"No."
Wang Yaocheng refused, but Qi Yafei patiently persuaded:
"Individual happiness is not as good as everyone's happiness. Our Redstone Fund invests in high-tech industries, which leads to a large blue ocean. Based on the broad domestic market prospects, it is not risky to follow the footsteps of technologically developed countries. At least they have paid
Tuition fees have been tried and tested wrong, let’s follow the drum and minimize the risk.
You are such a wealthy man, your hair is thicker than our waist, and your appeal and influence are huge. You can be used as a banner of Redstone Fund.
As long as you join, I can raise not only 20 billion but 50 billion. Think about how much money that is.
There’s more!
From now on you will be the godfather of the high-tech industry, which is a great honor..."
Qi Yafei patiently persuaded him for a long time, and Wang Yaocheng reluctantly nodded.
"Let me make things clear. I don't have too many. The maximum number is 20."
"100 can't be less. You can make back this little money in minutes."
"Brother Yafei, you are too arrogant! 100 is already a small amount of money. Don't daydream. I can only offer 30 at most, and there won't be any more."
"Don't bother me. If you pay 60, the matter will be settled."
Wang Yaocheng was so angry that he stretched out his hand to hit someone; "What's the deal? It's up to you to decide your feelings and my money. Get out of here and don't bargain here. If you believe it or not, I'll kick you."
Qi Yafei also really lowered his face, bowed his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Cheng, please add more to our high-tech industry fund. He really needs your precious support and care, it's in its seedling stage!"
"When you need my help, it's Brother Cheng, Master. When you don't need it, it's Acheng. Xiaocheng, you've become so fast, aren't you a bit of a philistine?"
With a generous look on his face, Qi Yafei sighed: "In ancient times, Buddha cut meat to feed eagles, but now Lao Qi carries a heavy burden. In order to promote the development of the country's high-tech industry, I have also achieved some personal benefits. I am willing to go all out.
Don’t use this old face anymore.”
"My face looks like a Japanese melon. I know you don't like it by nature." Wang Yaocheng said with disdain: "There is no need to put on a fuss about this matter and make it look like you are righteous. What you just said is to the point. I will respond accordingly."
We have also achieved some benefits. After all, the purpose of investment funds is to make money. Let’s do this. I’ll invest in 40 funds and you can find someone to raise the rest. It would be great to have 10 billion U.S. dollars.”
"Okay, it'll be as you say."
Wang Yaocheng thought for a while and felt uneasy, so he warned: "Be sure to invite experienced multinational investment bank elites to participate, and do a good job in market prospects and risk assessments of investment projects. Don't just use my money to make amends! Just rely on this."
A little money is not enough, it is only right to encourage more foreign funds to participate."
"Okay, forming this team must be the best." Qi Yafei agreed immediately.
Wang Yaocheng added: "The funds should be placed in HSBC, and their special account will provide services throughout the process, which can ensure that the funds are safe and reliable."
"Okay, the fat water will not flow to outsiders' fields."
Wang Yaocheng thought for a moment and then said: "Also, your investment must be at least 800 million. It is too small and not convincing."
"Okay, I'll invest 1 billion. Are you satisfied now?" Qi Yafei acted more generously.
Uh...okay!
Wang Yaocheng looked at Qi Yafei and felt as if he had been tricked. This guy had already left himself some room and agreed very simply.
But the matter has come to this, and there is no way to regret it.
Wang Yaocheng is now a very influential man. He can't afford to lose this person if he easily goes back on his investment commitments.
(This is to make up for what I owe yesterday. The 4,000 words are full of sincerity. I have to code two more chapters today, so I don’t have enough time. Anyway, Mr. Putao keeps writing. By the way, I’m asking for monthly votes, recommendations, and support.
