The next day, Taobao's miracle continued and upgraded once again.
After discussions overnight, the relevant health departments formulated a distribution plan covering 180 cities. Most of these 180 cities are concentrated in densely populated areas, with a focus on epidemic areas. From the perspective of the epidemic prevention front, this plan is very scientific and rigorous.
After the allocation plan for one hundred and eighty cities was released, it was time for Taobao’s performance.
Yangma got inside information in advance and contacted Taobao Technology in advance. They hoped to send several documentary film teams to follow up the entire process of Taobao's distribution of supplies to several representative cities.
In other words, from the outbound to sorting, packaging, transportation, distribution and receipt, Yangma hopes to follow a line. They hope to record these materials that carry great respect for life and special protection, which are full of The whole process of transportation with a sense of mission.
Li Mu naturally did not refuse. Yangma’s ability to shoot documentaries is among the best in the country. They may be able to shoot a documentary about the national fight against SARS after the epidemic passes, and Taobao is likely to become a special glory in this documentary. .
Li Mu worked hard and took huge risks to contribute to the epidemic. Although Li Mu was mostly motivated by a sense of responsibility to society, he also had some selfish motives.
The SARS period was a very special period. It took away the health and lives of some patients in a short period of time, destroyed the prices of supplies urgently needed by society, affected the real retail economy, and made people think less about the epidemic.
However, it is undeniable that SARS also has its positive effects.
Although the SARS war back then was a bit tragic, it really improved the country's ability to prevent and control major epidemics by more than one level. From that time on, major hospitals began to set up specialized fever clinics, and customs, airports and transportation agencies in various places The hubs are also equipped with high-end infrared body temperature detection systems. The health system's monitoring and response capabilities for various epidemics have made a qualitative leap forward, so that subsequent influenza and even overseas infectious diseases have no chance. The spread of SARS in the country is a positive effect that SARS has brought to society, and its positive impact is lasting and far-reaching.
In addition to this positive effect, there is also a reasonable but unexpected positive effect. This positive effect has greatly promoted the popularity of online shopping and the development of the entire e-commerce industry.
Li Mu's small selfishness lies here.
In his previous life, Boss Ma rapidly developed his e-commerce business during the SARS period. In a short period of time, online shopping, which was out of reach for many people, was forced into a life habit with strong dependence, which paved the way for the development of Taobao. A solid foundation was laid.
In this life, Li Mu also hopes that by contributing to SARS, he can also bring certain improvements to his own company.
This kind of height and speed of improvement may not be achieved no matter how hard you try.
Since Taobao opened up affordable purchase of anti-epidemic materials, the number of new registered users across the country has exceeded 30 million, doubling the number.
These users basically cover all parts of the country, and a large number of them are users in areas where the epidemic has not been discovered. They registered accounts in advance because they were worried that the epidemic would suddenly be discovered in their area. Instead of panicking when the time comes, it is better to register the account in advance.
The number of Alipay accounts has also increased by 30 million, and among them, more than 10 million users have bound bank cards.
Fortunately, the policy of "bringing the Internet into the home" has been advancing rapidly. With Li Mu's participation, Shenzhou Computer has been desperately pushing down the price of the entire PC. Now the cost of computer purchase and network cable access are declining. More importantly, after Li Mu became famous, the attitude of people across the country towards computers and the Internet has changed dramatically. In the past, parents prevented their children from accessing computers and the Internet, but now, they really hope that their children can become like Li Mu. Talents in the Internet field, so the popularity of computers and the Internet today is much faster than in previous generations.
If Taobao is brought to the capital market now, it will not be difficult to achieve a valuation of more than 10 billion U.S. dollars. After all, eBay's market value has exceeded 30 billion U.S. dollars. Its current user base and transaction volume may have been surpassed by Taobao. , the reason why it has a market value of more than 30 billion US dollars has a lot to do with it being a listed company.
When the SARS crisis is completely over, Taobao's overall size will inevitably increase. By that time, the valuation will reach a new height. Li Mu even thinks that Taobao can consider conducting a Series A round after SARS is over. Financing.
When he thought of a company with a valuation of more than 10 billion U.S. dollars at the time of Series A financing, Li Mu felt like he was dreaming. Such a case is probably an unprecedented initiative in the global business field. As for what will happen next? If no one comes, I am afraid that only Li Mu himself has the ability to copy.
…
Taobao Logistics has exploded with unparalleled speed and efficiency in front of people across the country.
Senior Brother Liu personally directed the transportation capacity to ensure the delivery of donated materials. Therefore, after receiving the distribution list from the health-related departments in the morning, the entire Taobao logistics quickly linked up to deliver, sort and pack the materials as quickly as possible. The receiving unit In the same city as the warehouse, a special car was dispatched to deliver it quickly at noon that day, and the surrounding cities did not dare to delay at all;
By the afternoon, most of the receiving units had received supplies that were exactly the same as the distribution list;
Before 12 o'clock in the evening, Taobao delivered all the corresponding materials to more than 300 receiving units in 180 cities. There was not a single error in any order, not even one more mask or one less mask. .
This efficiency is so fast that it exceeds people’s imagination of express delivery speed and adds huge impression points to Taobao Logistics.
What makes Li Mu most gratified is that the moment these supplies arrived at the receiving unit, they began to work immediately. These medical workers fighting on the front line immediately put on protective gear with extremely high levels of protection. Equipment such as masks and protective clothing have become much more protective, and hospitals where SARS cases have been discovered have greatly improved the safety of medical staff because they have received full-body disinfection equipment.
How much money can be earned is only half of the meaning of running a business for Li Mu. The remaining half of the meaning is to make positive contributions to his employees, his users, and the entire society. Otherwise, a company will If a company gets into the eyes of money, no matter how far it goes, it will still exude the pungent smell of copper to the surroundings all the time.
…
Just when domestic public opinion is transparent, prices are stable, and the public's mood is greatly comforted, the overall attitude of overseas media towards the epidemic in China is not as harmonious as that in China.
As the epidemic developed, SARS cases were discovered in many overseas countries, first in Southeast Asia, then in Australia, and then in Europe and North America.
For the Western media, which likes to smear China's international image, this is really a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.
They blamed the origin and responsibility of the SARS outbreak on China, believing that the virus was born and spread from China. They also believed that the Chinese government failed to fulfill its responsibility to control the epidemic, which allowed the epidemic to spread to other countries, and even the WHO Global warnings have been issued.
Through such reports, on the one hand, it has greatly eased the pressure on the domestic government to face the epidemic, on the other hand, it has diverted the attention of the domestic public to a certain extent, and at the same time, it can smear China's image.
So, soon, the media from various countries reached a tacit understanding, and in their respective reports, they put all the blame on China, and then packaged their own country as an innocent victim, which brought a lot of negative impact to the country's image. Influence.
Although the central government is trying to dispel rumors through its own channels every day, after all, it is extremely difficult for a foreign media to have a greater influence on the people of other countries than the media of other countries. Realizing it, Yang Ma is the same, she has more than enough ambition but not enough energy.
At the critical juncture, Yangma personally contacted Li Mu, hoping that Makino Technology could push a credible and fact-based explanation of China's epidemic around the world to counter those foreign media who deliberately smear China's image around the world.
Li Mu agreed without hesitation.
He immediately made arrangements and prepared everything.
The first step is to immediately launch a multi-language version of the epidemic special page on YY. Domestic epidemic broadcasts and epidemic prevention and control news must be displayed in multiple languages, and the authenticity of the information must be highlighted through factual data, pictures, videos, and news. Let the world see China’s efforts to combat the epidemic;
In the second step, YY will recommend this topic page in a pop-up window around the world, making sure that global users pay attention to this page;
In the third step, YY will simultaneously promote CCTV’s multi-language news to the world, showing the current overall situation of the domestic epidemic in multiple dimensions;
In the fourth step, YY will obtain the actual situation of the SARS epidemic in various countries through multiple channels through its own foreign correspondents, foreign media channels, and YY’s foreign correspondent channels;
In some countries, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people have only found one suspected case or one confirmed case. The media deliberately exaggerated and fanned the flames, causing the people across the country to panic and panic. At the same time, they also made them pee their pants in fear. I blame Huaxia in my heart, this approach is really too pissy.
YY should disclose the actual cases in various countries, so that the people in these countries can see the actual situation of the epidemic in their countries, and not let the people have overreactions. The domestic infection rate is one in tens of millions or even one in hundreds of millions. There is no need to focus on this matter. Whatever you should do normally, do it now.
Finally, Li Mu found Kong Lingyu and Fang Xudong and prepared to release his killer weapon around the world.
In front of the two of them, Li Mu said very seriously: "The SARS epidemic has been exaggerated by the media in Western countries. The media in these countries are now trying every means to publicize the threat of SARS in the country to divert people from realizing and doing malicious things." Although we have made preparations to respond to public opinion, it is not enough, so "Plants vs. Zombies Online", which we have been preparing for a long time, is ready to go online!"
