As soon as the brief phone call with Qi Wei ended, Lu Ming no longer paid attention to virtual currency matters.
He stood up and left his desk, walked slowly to the floor-to-ceiling window and stood beside it. Looking out the window at the street view of Ningzhou New Financial Center, Lu Ming fell into deep thought without saying a word.
Recently, he has been thinking about a very important and troublesome matter.
That is the upcoming super black swan that will spread across the world and trigger a global international public health emergency. The time it takes for this super black swan to flap its wings can only be counted on your fingers.
It's already very close.
From the perspective of pursuing capital gains, the more sudden a global crisis is, the more likely it is that huge profits can be obtained in a short period of time.
Especially on the premise that they can lead everyone in terms of information advantage, if nothing else, they are hoarding medical supplies like crazy now, and if they sell them when the time comes, the profits will definitely be extremely generous.
But Lu Ming would never dare or be able to do something like hoarding a large amount of medical supplies in advance unless he lost his mind.
The reason why I dare not is because I will never make this money. When people see you making a lot of money because of this matter, they will definitely say that it was you who caused the poison, because you have the biggest vested interests, and the advance layout is too obvious.
Once this label is slapped on you, you will really have no excuses, especially when the ugly country ghosts are bound to cry out to catch the thief. When the time comes to face the pressure from the whole world, you will really be unable to withstand it.
There are many ways to make money. In this black swan incident, Lu Ming will naturally not let go of the opportunities brought by the sudden crisis, but he will definitely not do something as stupid as stocking up on medical supplies in advance.
Lu Ming's current headache is not the problem of making money, but how to save as many domestic people as possible from this crisis without pushing himself and Tiansheng Capital to the forefront and extremely unfavorable situation.
s damage.
As for the people of the Wai country... they are not within the scope of Lu Ming's consideration at all. They want to suffer from the mass epidemic and dance with the poison. Translated, it means life and death, so you can seek blessings.
Lu Ming will definitely take care of the compatriots in the country.
It is absolutely impossible to just make money by taking advantage of sudden black swans and ignore basic morality. This has never been entangled.
What Lu Ming struggled with was how to use the resources he could allocate to manage the situation without causing trouble for himself and Tiansheng Capital.
This is the source of the headache.
Obviously, first of all, you must not jump out and publicly shout for everyone to respond to the disaster. Let’s not talk about whether the outside world will regard you as a madman. If you take a step back and tell the truth, after the disaster strikes, the whole world will question you, how did you know in advance?
?
That would really be a big deal!
Not only can't you jump out and yell in public, you can't even give the slightest hint.
In other words, the only choice left for Lu Ming was to stockpile corresponding medical supplies and other resources in advance so that they could be put to immediate use when a disaster strikes. At that time, they would be life-saving things.
But if we are hoarding medical supplies, we are back to the previous problem. The two are contradictory.
As time passed, Lu Ming left the floor-to-ceiling window and came to sit on the sofa in the lounge area, thinking without saying a word and making tea.
After a while, while taking a sip from the teacup, something suddenly moved in my heart.
"There's a way!"
After pondering for a long time, Lu Ming finally thought of a way that made him shine. He immediately thought about it and said to himself: "Years ago, the Science and People's Livelihood Foundation disclosed the layout strategy of new tertiary hospitals across the country. Now we are sending...
Useful!"
The foundation has already announced this matter long ago. To build so many hospitals, it will definitely require large-scale procurement of medical equipment.
Then you can explain to the outside world that "volume purchasing" is carried out in order to reduce expenditure costs, and negotiate with relevant pharmaceutical companies and medical equipment manufacturers.
You manufacturers have to quote me a lower price. I am here to purchase in quantity. The purchase volume is very huge. No matter what, you have to sign a contract with me at a price that is far lower than the market price.
There is no doubt that purchasing in large quantities means huge bargaining power. All major related manufacturers will definitely be unable to sit still. If they cannot get orders from the foundation, they will lose money.
"That's it!" Lu Ming nodded secretly. Of course, this was not enough, and some supplements were needed. He could only find other reasons that could justify himself.
The foundation has previously disclosed its livelihood funding plan in the field of medical public services, which is to carry out large-scale deployment in areas with underdeveloped medical resources in the central and central and western regions. It plans to build at least 500 new tertiary-level hospitals in the next ten years.
The budget is 375-400 billion yuan.
Do you need to purchase all kinds of medical equipment?
Lu Ming's strategy is to purchase more materials needed during the disaster in a series of purchase lists, such as medical protective clothing, isolation clothing, medical goggles, negative pressure ambulances, ventilators, disinfection machines and other related medical equipment or
Medicines and other medical supplies.
They were all included in the bulk purchase list. When the disaster struck, as the chairman of the foundation, Lu Ming made a decisive decision to urgently mobilize these medical supplies that were originally going to be distributed to 500 new hospitals across the country to deal with emergencies first.
Disasters are extremely in line with the foundation's philosophy, which is a major matter related to people's livelihood.
…
In the afternoon, Lu Ming left the Tiansheng Capital headquarters and went to the Science and Livelihood Foundation.
"Chairman, what did you say? Purchase 300 billion worth of medical supplies?" Foundation Secretary-General Lou Yiyun looked at Bo SS sitting in front of him in astonishment. What Lu Ming said just now caught him off guard.
This year's foundation's annual budget is only over 230 billion yuan, and it will spend 300 billion yuan to purchase medical supplies. What is the concept?
You know, last year the national fiscal budget for medical and health expenditure was 1.5 trillion yuan. Dabo SS came over and said that he would purchase 300 billion yuan in quantity, which was equivalent to 20% of the national fiscal budget for medical and health expenditure last year.
"Oh~, I've earned a lot recently, and I feel uncomfortable if I don't spend more." Lu Ming crossed his legs and said with a smile. He had no choice but to live in Versailles like this. His true purpose will not be revealed to anyone.
Well……
When Secretary-General Lou heard what he said, the corners of his mouth and eyes twitched, and he was speechless.
I thought Dabo SS had some high-level opinions, but I never thought of such a reason. Secretary-General Lou also felt a little dizzy.
Lou Yiyun really didn't know how to deal with him. After a while, he could only praise: "After all, the chairman still cares about people's livelihood and has the world in mind."
Lu Ming didn't care at all, and said in an orderly manner: "300 billion in volume purchasing is a very huge amount. The foundation's current strategy is to build 500 tertiary-level hospitals in the next ten years, 50 of them a year, but
We definitely won’t need so many medical supplies.”
This is what Lou Yiyun can't figure out. If you buy so many of them, you won't be able to use them. Why should they just sit in a warehouse and gather dust?
Lu Ming added: "Of course it's not just the hospitals under the foundation. In addition, it mainly provides funding to other major public hospitals across the country, especially public hospitals in underdeveloped areas. Their medical resources are limited, and local people cannot see doctors.
It is expensive, difficult to see a doctor, and medical resources per capita are very tight. The foundation must provide funding to hospitals in these places."
This reason is impeccable. No one at the Science and Livelihood Foundation will think too much about this, because it has been doing this kind of money-losing business for many years, and it has been the foundation's philosophy since its establishment.
Lu Ming emphasized again: "However, the specific hospitals to be funded cannot be disclosed in advance. There must be some suspense here. It is the foundation that has the final say as to which hospitals and regions should be funded. It cannot give these local hospitals any legitimate ideas. This
It’s a matter of affection, not an obligation, so the medical supplies are handed over to the foundation and will be managed first, and then they will be allocated as appropriate.”
In fact, these are all excuses to hoard medical supplies. The real purpose is to prepare for the upcoming disaster.
In order to subsidize medical and health institutions across the country, it is reasonable to purchase related medical physics on a large scale, and no one will contact them to prepare for disasters in advance.
When the disaster really comes, a batch of life-saving medical supplies will happen to be available, and they can be used for emergency use. It can only be said that it is a lucky coincidence in the misfortune, right?
Lou Yiyun didn't know what Lu Ming was thinking, so he nodded and said, "Understood."
SS Dabo decides to do this and just executes it. Since he is the decision-maker, he just implements the decision of his immediate superior.
Besides, he provided most of the foundation's funds.
