Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Expert Liu could not answer Zeng Wangcai's question because he was only the leader of the technical team, not the business one.

The people who answered Zeng Wangcai's questions were two old acquaintances of Zeng Wangcai, Wu Yao, the head of the virus prevention working group, and Cao Wang, the deputy head and the newly elected Minister of Commerce.

The two are now inseparable and have become leading figures in the Mesozoic era. Whenever there are important events involving foreign countries, they are usually present.

"Here's the thing." Wu Yao walked into the camera and said, "As for the production of ventilators, we have communicated with the Ministry of Industry and are working on increasing production. There are signs that exports are on the rise."

"It's just showing signs of rising, which means foreigners don't know how powerful the virus is." Zeng Wangcai thought about it and thought of a possibility, "Fuck, Daxiong is really evil. He didn't even share his discovery. They didn't block it, and they didn't report it. What were they thinking?"

"We don't know about that." Cao Wang interrupted, "Let's continue talking about ventilators. The current situation is like this. There is actually only one sign of recovery. A company in the United States has placed an order for 5,000 ventilators. Should we sell them?"

After discovering a new use for the ventilator, Zeng Wangcai suggested stockpiling this thing at home.

"Are there many companies producing ventilators in our country? What is the composition of these companies?" Zeng Wangcai asked in return.

This question is very critical because the family businesses are very different from before. As long as they are large-scale, they are almost all joint ventures, and there is almost no trace of domestic private capital. This is very different from later generations.

In later generations, those local state-owned enterprises that could no longer operate were restructured or sold off, and in that process, many private individuals took advantage of the situation.

Some private entrepreneurs made their fortunes at that time.

Now, after so many years of development, foreign investment has replaced private capital, and the composition of enterprises is basically that the state accounts for the majority, with foreign investment accounting for a smaller portion.

From this perspective, the country is rich now, and this is the greatest wealth that Zeng Wangcai’s arrival has brought to the country.

In fact, the situation created by Zeng Wangcai was not all smooth sailing. Later, some corrupt individuals combined with foreign capital to stir up trouble, and some of them succeeded and usurped the voice of some companies.

Later, Cao Wang was asked to take charge of this aspect, and things started to improve gradually.

This is also the intention of Zeng Wangcai's composition!

"The annual demand for ventilators is so great, and there are not many manufacturers!" Cao Wang replied, "The ventilators we produce account for 85% of the global market, but the actual output is not high. There are three companies that produce the most ventilators, and the ventilators produced by these three companies are sold to different regions. The company that ordered 5,000 ventilators is called Longsheng, which was formerly a factory in our northeast..."

Coincidentally, Longsheng Group Medical Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is 30% state-owned and is the largest shareholder. Several foreign-funded companies hold more than 20% and are the second largest shareholder group. The third largest shareholder group is some domestic investment capital, which holds more than 10% of the shares. The rest are in the secondary market.

In other words, although on the surface the state has the final say in this company, in reality there are risks.

"Let's put this question aside for now!" Zeng Wangcai thought for a while and said, "I want to know if there is an answer to the question I wanted to know before?"

"Yes!" Cao Wang nodded and took out his notebook. "According to statistics, we have learned from various channels that there are 121 countries and regions in the world with symptoms of virus infection, including the United States, including our neighbors..."

The list was long, and Zeng Wangcai heard familiar names such as Eagle Sauce, Kimchi, and Foot Basin Chicken.

Zeng Wangcai had always been reading the news before, but he had never seen the kind of professional statistics that appear in later generations, such as how many new cases there are in China and how many new cases there are abroad.

He was puzzled at first, but after paying special attention to the World Health Organization website, he figured out the trick.

It’s not that there are no statistics, but that there is no authoritative leadership.

Big Bear did not inform Eagle Sauce of the situation. For some unknown reason, Eagle Sauce did not take this matter as a priority and instead focused on fighting.

So now is a very delicate moment. The virus has obviously spread, but due to human factors, it is not taken seriously and ordinary people are kept in the dark.

The data Cao Wang learned were all obtained by professionals from various channels. They are not authoritative, but they can represent the current situation.

Zeng Wangcai’s summary is that the world has entered a new era!

He soon realized that the future development direction would change. The virus would be rampant and the whole world would be impacted. In the early stages, except for the virus inventor, the Eagle Sauce, who would consciously start preparing, other villages would be in trouble. For example, the Eagle Sauce is now purchasing a large number of ventilators.

After the initial stage, a more powerful virus will cause global panic, and war is obviously not the best option. At that time, except for extremists, most people will choose to save their lives.

In other words, vaccines, drugs, and ventilators will become the most sought-after items.

"The ventilators cannot be sold!" Zeng Wangcai made a prompt decision, "I will send someone to buy the shares of Longsheng, and at the same time completely control other production companies. Also, I am going to come back..."

"What? You don't care about that anymore?" Yang Mingyuan was surprised.

"I can't do anything about it!" Zeng Wangcai said darkly, "You only saw the situation on Ji Fu's side, but not the situation on Da Xiong's side. Although I haven't investigated the real situation over there, judging from the movements on the battlefield, Da Xiong is also in trouble. So let it be. Anyway, we have helped Ji Fu conquer two states, which is enough for them to handle."

At this critical juncture, the Big Bears will definitely not give up. If they have the spare strength, they will definitely organize a counterattack.

And Kinov will definitely not let go. In short, the purpose of the fight between the two families has been achieved, and with the sudden outbreak of a virus, the big bear no longer has the energy to expand its offensive on the grassland.

"I suggest that we immediately divide up an area on Wangye Island!" Zeng Wangcai talked about his plan to research solutions to the virus. "Please ask capable and courageous experts at home to go to Wangye Island to research vaccines and drugs. I remind you again that this is a very dangerous job. I can be sure that the virus that has broken out outside at this time is not what we thought before."

"Don't worry about it, we'll take care of it!" Wu Yao nodded, "Be careful and keep in touch. Also, you have to make good arrangements and don't let the hard-won situation be ruined. I'm worried that Ji Fu can't handle it."

It seems that Ji Fu is indeed not favored.

Zeng Wangcai smiled and said, "It's okay. I will leave some gifts for Kinov. If they still can't hold on with these things, then they can just die. As for the grassland, what are you going to do?"

He was very concerned about this, because he hated the behavior of smashing the pot after eating. In his opinion, Daxiong's behavior was not only about smashing the pot, but also about killing the chef. Who could tolerate this?

In addition, there are still large tracts of land that have not been recovered, as well as that piece of grassland, which makes Zeng Wangcai unable to let go.

"What do you think?" This question was not on Wu Yao's side, so Yang Mingyuan stood up and asked back.

"I think so!" Zeng Wangcai touched his chin, "We have to let the immune warriors go, like me..."
