As expected, the largest increase in sales was Yangcheng and Pengcheng.

In that area, there have been several outbreaks of SARS.

The more the official refutes the rumors, the crazier the people spread.

The panic also intensified.

The second is the magic capital of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

The capital, on the contrary, is somewhat behind.

Although the capital has a large number of Internet users, it has relatively fast access to information.

But most people are still skeptical of the SARS legend.

Even Sun Yuan didn't believe it: "Our current technology is so developed, a cold and fever will kill people?"

"Colds and fevers can mutate, and this is a virus that has never appeared before. ”

"Oh, I think airborne transmission is pretty anyway. ”

Now, rumors on the Internet that SARS can spread in the air seem to be irresistible.

"Actually, it's droplet transmission, which should be similar to the flu. ”

"Well, it's possible, as long as you practice good hygiene, it's not a big problem. ”

At the end of the Laba Shopping Festival, the sales volume of the whole network reached 9.8 billion yuan.

Although it failed to complete the 10 billion goal set by Gao Yang.

But this year is different.

As SARS grows severe, the boom in online shopping will continue.

Last summer, when Bai Ke and Liu Kang inspected the pharmaceutical factory in Wudu, they specifically told them to produce a large number of banlan root powder.

Right now, the warehouses of pharmaceutical factories have accumulated a lot of money.

Just like the inflation in 1988, Baike intends to suppress the inflated prices on his own.

In the last life, when SARS broke out, a few yuan a pack of banlan root was fried to dozens or even hundreds of yuan.

Even a bottle of white vinegar sells for 1,000 yuan in some areas!

After the Laba Festival, online shopping is still hot.

By the beginning of the year, sales had exceeded 20 billion.

In fact, the SARS outbreak in the south is largely related to the Spring Festival.

Because the Spring Festival is too crowded.

Zero distance contact between people, not to mention SARS.

The common flu spreads quickly.

After the new year, Baike once again conveyed the spirit to branches across the country, so that everyone should pay attention to hygiene and be careful of infectious diseases during the Spring Festival.

Sure enough, just after the Spring Festival, SARS broke out in Yangcheng.

Dead people, they can't hold it anymore.

The parties concerned have to admit it positively.

Based on the lessons of the past.

If the parties concerned admit that there is one, there may be hundreds or thousands behind it.

As soon as Kant's long-prepared Banlangen was put on the market, it was robbed.

The original intention of the white customer was to stabilize prices.

As a result, there are still a lot of scalpers who are raising the price.

It's just not as crazy as in the previous life.

A pack of a few dollars of banlan root sells for thirty or forty yuan.

But Kant didn't have the energy to fight against scalpers, so he had to let it go.

On the capital's side, the media did not allow detailed coverage.

The vast majority of ordinary people still have insufficient understanding of the seriousness of SARS.

It's just that those who regularly surf the Internet and have a certain level of education are convinced that this is a big problem.

The news media are similar to crematorium operators.

They all belong to the kind of fear that the world will not be chaotic.

"Gee, when can we do an in-depth report. Hu Mochi is gearing up every day, clamoring to go out and interview experts.

The news of the Yangcheng epidemic is a news release reviewed by the relevant parties verbatim and sent directly to the daily newspaper.

Weekly magazines don't report anything of value at all.

"Shao Yu Se, take care of the two little babies, if you give me a headache and brain fever, see that I don't pick your skin!"

"Hmph, uncle is so domineering. ”

The most dangerous place right now is the hospital.

Most of the cities where the epidemic has broken out are starting from hospitals.

At this time, the company has become more and more convinced of Baike, and everyone strictly abides by the health system formulated by Baike.

Gao Yang: Several of their young executives even plan to go out into the society to publicize and promote their experience.

"Mr. Bai, Mr. Zhao, the sales of our Zhuojie network are rising, and it is time to give back to the society. ”

Jevons also said: "Yes, if everyone is as vigilant as we are, the probability of getting infected will be greatly reduced." ”

Bai Ke sighed and looked at Zhao Huaiyu: "Mr. Zhao, what do you think?"

Mr. Zhao frowned and thought for a while: "I don't feel very good......

Bai Ke nodded: "The relevant parties are desperately refuting the rumors, saying that the world is peaceful and everywhere is extremely safe." We advertise precautions with a lot of fanfare, and don't we slap them in the face?"

Gao Yang and Jevons suddenly realized this, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Yes, I said that I was only allowed to help, and I was not allowed to cause trouble." In fact, it is not the help of the common people. ”

"yes, we're too self-conscious. We need to control the epidemic at all costs...... We are not us here, but the price. ”

Zhao Huaiyu also sighed: "Although you can't publicize it with great fanfare, you can also say it." Let the families of employees spread the word of mouth and do their best to publicize it. ”

Although he couldn't help openly, Bai Ke was still preparing secretly.

50 senior construction personnel were specially hired from the East Bridge Group to be on standby at any time.

and rented a large warehouse in Xiaotangshan.

It is used to store various building materials and construction equipment.

Yangcheng has always been the first to lead the trend.

Their leaders are also bold and pragmatic.

Seeing that they couldn't hide it, they truthfully reported the epidemic and gradually controlled the development of the situation.

Instead, the hard-hit areas have shifted to the capital.

It's spring, and it's the season when poplar catkins and catkins are scattered around.

Gossip began to circulate again.

Many people say that poplar and catkins can spread the virus.

Xu Yi was worried that he couldn't do an in-depth report, so he planned to help refute the rumors.

When Bai Ke came to Hu Mochi, he happened to see her reviewing the draft.

"Don't, don't publish this stuff. ”

Bai Ke hurriedly stopped.

"What's wrong? It's a help, not a mess. ”

"Who said poplar catkins can't spread the virus?"

"That's what the experts say. ”

"Did the expert test test the test?"

"It should be......"

"How could it have been tested so quickly? Why haven't I seen an expert come out before and say that catkins and poplars can't spread the virus?"

"This ...... Uncle, what do you mean, is it still possible for catkins and poplars to spread the virus?"

"It's a matter of human life, even if it's a 1 in 10,000 chance that you have to take it into account. ”

"yes, these experts and professors are so irresponsible. ”

White customers generally do not interfere with the operation of the weekly.

Fortunately, Xu Yi is very smart and has the conscience of an intellectual.

As soon as Bai Ke told him, he immediately understood.

"That's right, I can't help with that. Helping them is tantamount to harming the people. ”

Other media outlets don't have this awareness.

Major media outlets have begun to scramble to refute the rumors.

repeatedly brainwashed the people, claiming one after another: the epidemic has been controlled.

Perhaps the media did not do enough to refute the rumors.

Minister Zhang personally faced the domestic and foreign media and declared with a smile: Everyone doesn't even need to wear masks.

The mouth is open, and the head is rolling.

By April, the capital was catching up, and the number of infected people far exceeded that of Yangcheng and Hong Kong and Kowloon.

However, the opportunity for white customers to meet the powerful also came.
