Although Zhao Xianliang is nearly fifty years old, in the shopping mall, at his age and qualifications, he is a new force in the entire shopping mall, so the energy of not admitting defeat is always there in his heart.
From looking down on Li Mu at first, to gradually being frightened by Li Mu's strength, and even being overtaken by Li Mu, Zhao Xianliang seemed to have nothing on the surface, but in fact he always felt a little frustrated in his heart.
Now, after being teased by his wife, although she didn't take it seriously, the frustration in Zhao Xianliang's heart seemed to be a little heavier.
No one could see the cowardice in Zhao Xianliang's heart. After working hard for half his life, he still couldn't compare to a young man like Li Mu, and the gap between him and Li Mu was getting bigger and bigger. This was indeed when Zhao Xianliang faced Li Mu. The biggest worry in my heart.
Xie Yun was still trying to persuade Li Mu, hoping that he could stay in Hangzhou or return to Yanjing with Zhao Ziqiu in Hangzhou for a few days. Li Mu had no choice but to tell him that Anne Hathaway was still being treated in isolation in the hospital. out.
Li Mu said that his friend who had traveled thousands of miles to come to China was still lying in the hospital, and he could not ignore it due to emotional reasons, so he had to rush back as soon as possible.
Xie Yun then remembered that she had seen in the news before that the great director Spielberg took the top management of DreamWorks and Anne Hathaway to Shenzhen to talk to Li Mu about cooperation. She thought they must have finished the negotiation. After the cooperation returned to the United States, Anne Hathaway unexpectedly fell ill in Shenzhen City. She was suspected of being infected with SARS and was quarantined and treated.
Zhao Xianliang asked in surprise: "A Hollywood star got SARS in Shenzhen City. This matter is not considered trivial in theory. Why haven't you heard any news?"
Li Mu said truthfully: "I asked Spielberg to help block the news about this matter. Otherwise, if this matter spread to the United States and was exposed through the American media, it would definitely have a very bad impact on our country."
Speaking, Li Mu added: "Actually, what I am most worried about is that this matter will be exposed in the country. Once it is exposed in the country, I am afraid it will immediately cause panic among the people, and then it will inevitably bring a lot of trouble to the whole society."
Zhao Xianliang nodded slightly, and at the same time he looked at Li Mu with admiration. This young man, Li Mu, not only did well in the Internet and business, but he didn't expect that he could grasp the overall situation so accurately at critical moments.
Just when Zhao Xianliang praised Li Mu in his heart, Zhao Ziqiu asked Li Mu in surprise: "Wouldn't it be better if this matter was exposed? At least everyone can know the existence of this disease and do a good job in prevention to avoid it. More people are infected.”
When Zhao Xianliang heard his daughter's question, he smiled slightly and looked at Li Mu, wanting to hear how he would answer.
Li Mu shook his head at this time and said seriously: "This is the truth, but if you look at it from a practical level, it is far less optimistic than imagined."
Speaking of this, Li Mu explained in detail: "This disease has not really spread on a large scale yet. If it is known to the public and the whole people are reminded to take precautions, it will inevitably cause excessive panic in the whole society. If just because a few dozen people are infected, the whole country will be affected." More than a billion people are in panic, and the impact on the entire society must be huge, and it is likely to cause panic buying and shortages of supplies, which will in turn exacerbate people's panic due to shortages of supplies."
"If some people stop normal work, study and social activities because of panic, it will have a great impact on the efficiency of the entire society;"
"For example, if one to two hundred million urban people stop eating out in a short period of time because of panic, what impact will it have on the catering industry of the entire society? I am afraid that more than half of the restaurants in the country will close down, and more than half of the catering industry employees will unemployment;"
"For another example, if these urban residents are afraid to go out for shopping, it will inevitably have a huge impact on the retail industry;"
"The most important thing is that if the epidemic in a big city like Shenzhen is exposed, it will definitely trigger a large number of migrant workers to flee at an accelerated pace. By then, if one-tenth of the millions of migrant workers escape, it is very likely that the epidemic will be spread." Taking it to all parts of the country may quickly trigger a major outbreak."
What Li Mu said is not sensational. When SARS broke out in his previous life, except for first-tier cities, most of the infection cases in small cities were caused by migrant workers returning home urgently to avoid SARS. Some of them had not even reached their hometowns. I started to have a fever on the train back to my hometown.
Zhao Ziqiu was dumbfounded. As a girl majoring in liberal arts, it was difficult for her to have such a systematic and comprehensive thinking logic. Therefore, if Li Mu hadn't said anything, she would never have imagined that once the epidemic was exposed, it would bring so many uncontrollable consequences to the whole society. Negative impact.
After hearing this, Zhao Xianliang was also extremely shocked. He originally lamented that Li Mu could have an overall view that "the epidemic cannot be made public for the time being", but he did not expect that his overall view could be so detailed and in-depth. This is really Can a young man in his early twenties think like this? If so, then his thinking is really powerful and a little too perverted.
Xie Yun, who is a professor, was even more amazed by Li Mu's remarks. It seems that Li Mu's success is no accident. If a person can consider the overall situation, details, and depth at the same time, no matter what he does, he will have a certain degree of success. achievements.
Zhao Xianliang had already put away his previous little emotions at this time, lit another cigarette, and asked Li Mu seriously: "Then do you think, if the epidemic continues to develop, when will the epidemic be announced? The most suitable?"
Li Mu said without hesitation: "When the country is ready!"
Zhao Xianliang narrowed his eyes and asked, "What kind of preparations should we make?"
Li Mu blurted out: "Be prepared for a comprehensive response from the central to local governments, be prepared for medical treatment and control of the epidemic, be prepared for materials to respond to the epidemic, and be prepared for public opinion to stabilize people's hearts. Only when these four preparations are completed can the announcement be made." The perfect time for a pandemic!”
Zhao Xianliang took a long drag on his cigarette and asked again: "Why do you say that?"
Li Mu said seriously: "For example, if the announcement is made passively now and the country is not ready yet, if 100,000 migrant workers in Guangdong Province return to their places of origin, then who will monitor the whereabouts of these 100,000 people and who will monitor these people?" Do 100,000 people have fever symptoms? If so, who will monitor who they came into contact with on the way back to their place of origin? If the epidemic gets out of control, how much danger and loss will it bring to the people across the country?"
“On the other hand, if the country is well prepared and fully mobilizes local health departments to fully participate in the fight against the epidemic before exposing the epidemic, even if 100,000 migrant workers want to return to their places of origin, the country will require local railways, highways, and civil aviation systems to protect everyone. The temperature of each passenger will be checked, and health systems across the country will be required to be ready to receive suspected cases at any time."
"In this case, if an infected person wants to leave Shenzhen City to go home, and if he or she has an abnormal body temperature when entering the train station, he will be quarantined for observation first;
If the person has no abnormality before getting on the train and becomes ill on the train, the conductor can urgently contact the health system of the nearest city to prepare them for reception, and at the same time isolate and observe all other people who have been in contact with him on the train. To avoid further spread of the epidemic;
If no abnormality is found until this person gets off the train, the local station will have to record his origin after he gets off the train. If this person comes from a high-risk area, the person will be closely tracked and observed. Once an abnormality is discovered, isolate and treat it immediately;”
Speaking of this, Li Mu concluded: "Having said so much, what I mean is that the best time to announce the epidemic is only when the country is well prepared and can control the situation. Otherwise, it will inevitably bring consequences to society. An uncontrollable threat.”
Li Mu has always felt that when the country responded to SARS in a previous life, it had done its best to eliminate the reasons for being concealed by local governments. However, due to many reasons, the country was not fully prepared at the time. But when the whole country was fighting against SARS, , the country’s various efforts and efforts can be said to fully demonstrate the government’s sense of responsibility.
The all-out efforts of the medical and health systems across the country, the Xiaotangshan Hospital built within a week, the countless medical staff working on the front line of the fight against SARS, the large-scale quarantine to avoid secondary infection... Only the state can do such things can be completed.
Therefore, this is why Li Mu is now going all out to prepare supplies. He is not arrogant enough to fight SARS on his own. He is just making logistical preparations for the country's comprehensive war against SARS.
Zhao Xianliang and Xie Yun exchanged glances with each other. Their inner feelings towards Li Mu at this time could no longer be described in words.
Both husband and wife had the same feeling in their hearts. In the face of such a major matter, it was impossible for them to consider everything so comprehensively, and they might not even be half as good as Li Mu.
If he had not personally experienced SARS, even if Li Mu lived his whole life again, he might not be able to understand so much. He might be like Zhao Ziqiu, who believed that the best solution is to announce the epidemic to the whole society immediately. Only those who have experienced it can understand it. You will understand that publication is never a solution.
Zhao Xianliang sighed at this time and said: "The exact impact of this epidemic is still unknown, but I hope what you just said will not become reality."
Li Mu nodded and said, "I also hope it doesn't become a reality."
Zhao Xianliang couldn't help sighing: "But after hearing what you said, I still want to do something for society in advance. As the old saying goes, be prepared."
Li Mu smiled slightly and said: "To tell you the truth, Uncle Zhao, when I learned about the epidemic in Shenzhen City, I had already launched a material reserve plan of at least 2 billion. Now many domestic companies are preparing for this material. The reserve plan is to run production at full capacity and work overtime. I have also asked people to help contact several related material production companies in the United States. I will go to the United States in a few days to follow up on this matter personally. "
Zhao Xianliang's hand trembled, and the cigarette butt fell to the ground without holding it. He subconsciously asked, "What did you say? Two billion?!"
