Chapter 4: SARS Spread
Remember [Martial Arts β Γ· in a second? Textβη½.], update fast, no pop-ups, free to read!
The day before the New Year's Day holiday, I still didn't get any useful news, and most of the rumors that were confirmed were self-defeating.
Chen Bo had no choice but to issue another notice in the name of the group's board of directors prohibiting the consumption of wild animals, regardless of whether the culprit was a civet cat or a chrysanthemum bat, but after all, there was a certain relationship. Besides, it's a holiday soon, and if employees get involved when they go out to play, the consequences are absolutely unimaginable.
Then he handed over the work at hand to Liu Qinglai to take full responsibility, and flew back to the Pengcheng headquarters at the first dawn of the new year.
The bustling Shanghai market is bathed in the warm sun of the petty bourgeoisie as always, and the SARS epidemic in Lingnan has not interfered with the good mood of the city.
Just after New Year's Day, Lu Xiaoyun walked proudly, came to the front desk of Ant Company, and said, "I made an appointment with your president in advance." Then he walked straight to Chen Bo's office.
"Hey, Miss Lu......" The second half of the reception at the front desk was suffocated before she finished speaking, and Lu Xiaoyun had already left her sight.
Chen Bo's office was naturally empty, and there was not even a figure.
"Xiaoyun? What are you doing here! Liu Qing happened to pass by at this time, and said in surprise, "Are you here to find me?" β
"Hey, Sister Qing, aren't you at Goldman Sachs? How could it be here! β
Now the two women were dumbfounded, the main owner was not found, and there was a scene where sisters recognized each other. This is not surprising, the parents have a lot of contacts, and they are not strangers to these juniors, but they grew up and went to their own future, but I didn't expect to see you here today.
"I've resigned from Goldman Sachs a long time ago, so let's find a place to talk first." Seeing this, Liu Qing pulled her to the small reception room, made a cup of hot coffee, and began to greet and reminisce. She knew what Lu Xiaoyun was talking about, and Lu Xiaoyun also knew that she was doing things under Chen Bo now.
"Just him? Blow it out, he doesn't look handsome, and he doesn't have a diploma, why do you want you to work for him with a master's degree from Harvard? Lu Xiaoyun obviously didn't want to see Chen Bo, and tried her best to fight for Liu Qing.
"Ability doesn't come with a diploma, and I've learned a lot from him." Although Liu Qing only made a small bet to jump into the pit at that time, he was also unwilling, but now he has long been used to it.
"Hmph, after all, I'm not an uneducated bun, and I don't know why my father wants me to win him over." Lu Xiaoyun didn't know where the anger came from, anyway, she couldn't look at it at all, so she simply went all the way to the dark.
"Aren't you here yet?" When Lu Xiaoyun was born, Lu Zhiqiang was already a little accomplished, plus she was smart, beautiful, and basically had no opponents, and she was always rotating with her as the core. Suddenly, a person of the same age wants to take away her dazzling light, and he will definitely be psychologically unbalanced. Liu Qing didn't break it at all, anyway, after a long contact in the future, he would naturally know what kind of person he was.
"Forget it, forget it. Sister Qing, help me find out that material, I don't know where he put it. β
After waiting for a while, a document bag appeared in Liu Qing's hand, "Is this it?" But it seems to be all blank. β
"What?!" Lu Xiaoyun was taken aback, took the document and looked at it, but it was still in the same state and didn't even write a word, and when she didn't get angry, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, your surname is Chen......"
"Shall I give him a call? It should be that he left in a hurry and forgot to fill it in. Liu Qing saw that her face was angry, and hurriedly gave a step. No need, it's not uncommon for my aunt and grandmother to have alumni like him, shame on me! β
Looking at Lu Xiaoyun's back as she left in a huff, Liu Qing couldn't help but shake her head.
Although the person is already in Pengcheng, but Chen Bo's heart that has been lifted has not been put down, Yang Guotai led his subordinates to look through the medical system of several small and medium-sized cities along the Pearl River, and did not find any useful clues, and now the scope has been expanded to the eastern part of Guangdong.
But he was not idle, and sent an email to inform Chris of the heavy position of pharmaceutical shares, and at the same time asked Nian Tengyun to pay attention to the high-quality resources that can be acquired in the north.
At this time, Ma Teng and Zhou Botao had already gone to Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business to study gold plating, and at Christmas, there were not many employees left in this Pangu Building.
On the evening of January 5, Chen Bo finally waited for the long-awaited news.
"Found it! We found a patient with a similar case named Huang Xingchu in Heyuan City Hospital, who was admitted to the hospital last month, but due to the limited medical conditions here, he was transferred to Yangcheng Provincial Hospital in the middle of the year. β
"Huang Xingchu? Rush to Yangcheng immediately! Chen Bo reacted as soon as he heard the news, since he knew the person's name, it would be much easier to find. Be careful not to have any direct contact with him, including medical staff who have been in contact with him. β
Generally speaking, this period of time is calm, there are no new rumors on the Internet, and no news of anyone being infected has appeared again, at this time there are still 25 days before the Spring Festival, and the flow of people returning to their hometowns at railway stations and long-distance stations has gradually increased.
Under Chen Bo's instructions, Chen Nian not only hoarded the two existing storage centers in Yanjing and Shanghai, but also went to two places in Jiangcheng, Rongcheng and Central China in the southwest, where there was originally a small logistics transfer station, although it was not large, but it could also hoard a lot of materials.
On the afternoon of January 6, Yang Guotai, who had been running around, finally returned the news that the provincial hospital had indeed taken over the patient, but he had recovered and been discharged. As for where it went, no one knows!
The good news he had just received was suddenly extinguished, and Chen Bo asked again
"Is there a blood sample?"
"No, nothing left. And the Department of Health has come over, and there are also patients sent over in Xiangshan City today, I saw it with my own eyes! β
"What?" Chen Bo on the phone was taken aback and spread! This time it's on the edge of the Pearl River, "Oops, I forgot to ask you, did the medical staff in Heyuan Hospital who had contact with Huang Xingchu have any symptoms?" β
Only then did he realize how big the loophole he had missed, and if Huang Xingchu was the first patient, then the medical staff who had been in contact with him would definitely not be spared.
"This Heyuan Hospital didn't say anything, it just said that they didn't come to work because they had something to do at home, and it seemed that they were deliberately hiding something." Yang Guotai said at this time.
That's right! For the sake of the image of his hospital, Heyuan would definitely not say that other medical staff were infected in front of Lao Yang, a "reporter", but Huang Xingchu could find out that the cases had also been transferred to the hospital, so it had nothing to do with them.
"Arrange for two clever ones over there, and you come back and rest first."
The good news is that Huang Xingchu has been cured, so finding him will have a direct benefit in the development of antibodies, instead of the current headless flies. The bad news is that more and more people are now infected, and even finding this Huang Xingchu will not be of much help in the future, and the plan to strangle the source of infection in the cradle is a complete failure.
Although the Lingnan Health Department is involved, can it really pay attention to it? Whether there is a solution that works is true.
Lingnan, the country's largest economic province, has now become a melting pot in Chen Bo's eyes.
That night, Chen Bo urgently notified the group board of directors to convene a meeting the next day, and anyway, it was not bad to recall Ma Teng and Zhou Botao from Yanjing in the past few days.
Early the next morning, Chen Bo appeared in the conference room on time.
"In such a hurry, what's wrong?" Ma Teng, who was sitting in the deputy position, obviously didn't understand why he was summoned back overnight.
"Everyone is here, let's talk about it together. As for the performance of each company's statement, everyone can see it in their mailbox, so I won't discuss it in detail today. Chen Bo paused for a moment and said, "Now there is a very contagious virus in Lingnan Province, the initial symptoms are similar to a cold, but soon respiratory failure will occur, and the fatality rate is quite high." It can be spread through the air, saliva, etc. β
"Really?"
"Where's the news?"
Everyone asked puzzled.
"Here's a copy of the case you got, so take a look. The Department of Health has already begun to intervene in the investigation, and just a minute before I arrived at the company, two patients had already died! Chen Bo directly took out the prepared materials with a serious expression, which were all sent by Yang Guotai overnight.
"Hiss......"
Everyone gasped, and suddenly there was a feeling of being shrouded in death, and it happened around you, do you feel worried? This is still a good psychological quality, what if it is those employees who have a weak psychological quality?
"Although there is no information on the epidemic yet, we must take precautions now."
"Okay, what do you think we should do?" It was also the first time that Ma Teng had encountered such a sudden thing, and he had no idea. Not to mention the others, they all stared at Chen Bo's face, as if he had flowers on his face.
"First of all, let's talk about the inside, do a few sterile isolation rooms out, and at the same time do a good job of disinfection of the office space, monitor the health of employees, and report any cold symptoms as soon as they appear and send them to the isolation room for treatment. Then cancel this annual meeting, and the year-end bonus ratio can be appropriately raised to appease the emotions of employees. β
"Externally, Tencent News went to the Department of Health to do a good job of information docking to see if it could get first-hand information. In order to avoid panic incidents, QQ and Fox live must do a good job of relevant guidance at that time. β
It is still the fermentation period of the incident, and the only thing Chen Bo can do is these preventive measures, and there will be a lot of work to be done once the incident is officially dismissed.
After the meeting ended, Chen Bo left Li Zhaojun alone.
"Sister Jun, I want you to leave for the United States immediately."
"Why, am I afraid of death? That's a very low chance. Li Zhaojun said with a stiff face.
"That's just one aspect, and I want you to come to the United States and take control of the financial situation over there. B&P is getting bigger and bigger, investing more and more, and the money is snowballing, because you are always the person I trust the most, just like you trusted me in the first place! Chen Bo said in a pleading tone, "In addition, I also want you and Isabella to spend more time together." β
"Really? This wasn't something you and Xin Xin planned, right? β
"How, it's completely impossible. She still doesn't know. β
"Well, okay, I'll go when I'm done."
