Chapter 227: Recruits on the eve of SARS
If the historical trajectory has not deviated, the epidemic reported in the news that began to spread in Hong Kong and Guangdong should be SARS. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although Gu Heng can't remember the specific time of the SARS outbreak in China, he vaguely remembers that this happened in the first half of 03, and it also affected the nerves of hundreds of millions of people across the country, which lasted for several months, and the number of people who died of the SARS virus in the mainland exceeded 300.
Thousands of people fell ill, more than 300 people died, and the whole country was in turmoil, which was a severe test for China.
At a certain moment, Gu Heng even thought about whether he could do something, such as spreading some remarks on the Internet, so as to arouse everyone's vigilance, because the first outbreak of this epidemic was in Hong Kong and Guangdong, if it could be prevented in advance and controlled within the scope of these two places, it would not spread throughout the country through the flow of epidemic carriers, and the harm would be much reduced.
But this thought, after all, only lingered in my mind for a moment.
I didn't dare, but I also knew that it wouldn't make a big difference.
The identity of the reborn is the biggest secret he has been carefully hiding, and once he makes such an outrageous move, when his "prophecy" becomes a reality, he will inevitably push himself to the forefront and increase the risk of exposure.
Moreover, he also knows that with his current social status, even if the shocking prediction spread on the Internet that "SARS will spread across the country and cause hundreds of deaths" will not allow the government to restrict the movement of people in Hong Kong and Guangdong.
This is a major national matter, so how can one or two people make such a move that is detrimental to the country's foundation because of one or two people's baseless speculation? How much does it have to do with restricting the entry and exit of the population of the two places? At a time when SARS has not yet revealed its great harmfulness, who bears this responsibility, who has the right to give this order, and who dares to make this order?
And when this prophecy is confirmed, it means that everything that should have happened has already happened, and it is too late. And as the original prophet, he will inevitably be investigated and concerned, and completely fall into the whirlpool.
Based on these reasons, Gu Heng could only sigh, his heart was more than enough, but his strength was insufficient.
Sighing, he began to call one by one.
Although Xiang Province in the previous life was not the hardest hit area of the SARS outbreak, and he had never heard his parents mention that there were SARS cases at home, but in order to be sure, he still took the trouble to call home one by one a day, reminding his parents not to go out during this time, buy more banlan root, which can usually be drunk as tea, especially the little girl, she is still young and has weak resistance, so she must be optimistic.
As for his parents asking about the reason, he added fuel and vinegar to some of the things that had been reported on the news, afraid that his parents didn't take it to heart, and he even told a white lie, saying that this disease has died abroad, so be careful, it is best to wear a mask when you go out.
In addition, he also asked Gu's father and mother to remind the relatives at home that it is best not to go far during this time, especially in Guangdong Province, if you meet someone who comes back from working in that place, you should also keep your distance as much as possible.
Seeing that Gu Heng said so seriously, with a terrible appearance of encountering the plague in ancient times, Gu's mother nodded in agreement, and also began to worry, and said: "Xiao Heng, why don't you just ask for leave and come back, let's all go back to our hometown to live for a while, that place is remote, even if it is an infectious disease, it can't spread to that place." ”
Gu Heng couldn't cry or laugh suddenly, but he could only try to comfort himself, promising to take care of himself so that they didn't have to worry.
After following this routine and informing Xiao Xiao and familiar people about it, Gu Heng himself was not idle.
First of all, while SARS has not spread to the mainland, and things such as banlan root and white vinegar have not yet become in-demand materials, a lot of them have been prepared in advance and placed at home in case of emergency.
Secondly, in the company, he also held a special meeting to remind everyone to do a good job in prevention work, not afraid of just in case, afraid of 10,000.
Finally, he also organized people to spread the word on this matter on the forum, intentionally or unintentionally reminding everyone to pay attention to it.
People who have not personally experienced that era can hardly imagine the psychological pressure brought to people when SARS arrived, and the slogan of the national anti-Japanese war against SARS that will be launched soon is not just verbal propaganda, but a real battle to fight.
The remote rural areas are better, because the news is more closed and the population is less circulating, so there is not much panic. But in the city, even if it is not a seriously ill area, everyone must wear a mask when they go out, and things such as banlan root and white vinegar are coaxed out by everyone, even if there are illegal merchants who raise prices and double the price, there are still people rushing to ask for it.
What's more, when the death of patients infected with the SARS virus spread across the country, many schools across the country began to close or close schools, the International Health Organization designated China as a dangerous area, and many countries banned their populations from traveling to China......
Gu Heng, who had personally experienced the tense atmosphere of that era, quietly pressed a big stone in his heart.
Time entered March, when SARS was brewing its huge destructive power, Gu Heng met with two groups of people successively.
The first batch was two technicians who were recruited by a headhunting company, and they were specially recruited from a company in Shanghai at a great cost.
Jumping from Shanghai to Xiangshi is considered low, but Gu Heng's salary is attractive enough, and the two of them are also in Hunan Province, so they finally poached two people from that company.
When Gu Heng met the two in person, some people in the company were a little curious, and some technical backbones inevitably had a sense of crisis.
What is curious is, who are these two people? After joining the company, they were personally summoned by Mr. Gu and talked in detail for a long time, this treatment is not something ordinary people can have.
Some of the company's original technical backbones are worried that the two new technical members will become competitors, and now the company is officially thriving, it is foreseeable that in less than two or three years, the company will inevitably usher in a new round of expansion.
The expansion of the company's scale will produce some new leadership positions, which means an opportunity for promotion and salary increase for some people with old qualifications and excellent skills, but now they are suddenly parachuted into the two, which seems to be quite valued by the CEO, and it is inevitable that there will be a sense of crisis.
Only Jiang Cheng, who really knew some of Gu Heng's strategic deployments, had a vague conjecture in his heart when he learned that the two of them were dug from Teng Xun.
