Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

Meng Chuan hung up the phone with Old Huang and continued working.

His desk was piled high with documents.

Hongda Medical and Hongda Pharmaceutical, both companies, handle all sorts of matters, big and small, especially those involving pharmaceutical research and development and production.

Meng Chuan wanted to be involved in everything, no matter how small.

In fact, Meng Chuan could have delegated many of the more trivial matters to his subordinates.

However, Meng Chuan did not do that.

This also caused Meng Chuan's daily workload to skyrocket.

Fortunately, Meng Chuan's ancient martial arts skills had not declined.

Over the years, he has mastered the art of Qi cultivation.

The fact that one's appetite has returned to normal levels is the best proof.

Even if Meng Chuan were to fight against the Prince of Fu, the score would be roughly even.

Of course, this is also because Prince Fu's health is gradually deteriorating and his physical strength is declining.

After all, I'm getting old, and I can no longer rely on my physical strength.

It is precisely because of his good health that Meng Chuan is able to perform such intense work.

Meng Chuan worked until late at night.

After annotating all the files.

Meng Chuan checked the time, took out his phone, and called Alice.

"It's rare that our tycoon still remembers me! He finally thought to give me a call."

Alice's voice came from Meng Chuan's phone.

It was filled with a sense of melancholy.

Anyone who didn't know better would think that Meng Chuan had done something to her!

Actually, it's not Alice's fault.

Meng Chuan rarely takes the initiative to call her.

Even if Alice sometimes calls Meng Chuan on her own initiative, it's only if there's nothing important to say.

Meng Chuan would hang up after only a couple of sentences.

Alice's resentment towards Meng Chuan was naturally considerable.

"How's the matter I asked you to investigate going?"

Meng Chuan asked.

“There were three unusual truck entries and exits at night last month in the wastewater treatment area outside Fort Detrick.”

Alice said hastily.

Several times before, Meng Chuan would hang up on her simply because she answered a little too slowly.

Alice is completely helpless against Meng Chuan.

After all, Meng Chuan could completely forget about her.

Whenever she has free time, Meng Chuan is all she can think about.

She couldn't suppress her longing for Meng Chuan.

Therefore, Alice's feelings for Meng Chuan were extremely humble.

"It's exactly what I expected."

Meng Chuan's voice turned somber.

Fort Detrick is a research base for U.S. biological weapons and related protective technologies.

In Meng Chuan's memory, Fort Detrick was to be shut down in 2019.

That is this year.

The reason given was that "there is not enough system to purify the wastewater."

Therefore, the Fort Detrick laboratory, located in an area with a high incidence of e-cigarette-related pneumonia and respiratory illnesses of unknown origin, was shut down.

However, the laboratory's steam sterilization area was destroyed by torrential rain in May 2018 and shut down in 2019.

For more than a year, the destination of the wastewater containing biochemical pollutants was unknown.

The relevant departments did not mention these questions in their publicly released investigation reports.

Alice has now discovered three truck entry and exit records, indicating that the US conspiracy has already begun.

"And the US CDC budget report you asked me to check is out! The overall budget for 2019 was cut by $940 million, but the funding for the 'flu response' program actually increased by 50%, which is completely illogical!"

Alice said.

Budgetary adjustments are being made, focusing solely on the flu.

Only Meng Chuan knew that the epidemic was initially treated as a flu and prevented.

However, it's only been a short time since the beginning of 2019, and the flu season in the United States is still far from over.

They cut all budgets except for the flu, which they increased by 50%.

When these fragmented pieces of information are pieced together, they precisely confirm Meng Chuan's prediction of biological warfare.

"Do you remember the U.S. Department of Defense's SBIR program from last May?"

Meng Chuan suddenly spoke up and asked.

Meng Chuan's investigation into the United States began in 2017.

In 2018, Alice conducted an investigation using her family's connections.

Last year, one of the seven biochemical projects of the Department of Defense explicitly mentioned "small molecule preparations for coronaviruses".

Alice didn't care too much at the time.

Or rather, apart from Meng Chuan, no one else seemed to find anything unusual.

"According to their explanation, this plan is specifically aimed at MERS, while deliberately preserving research and prevention of coronaviruses! What's wrong with that?"

Alice said, puzzled.

"This is a huge problem. Since the end of last year, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) has almost disappeared!"

Meng Chuan said in a deep voice:

“At the height of MERS, they did not increase budgets and research, and now that it has almost disappeared, they have preserved research.”

After Meng Chuan said that, Alice also felt that something was wrong.

But she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.

"If I'm not mistaken, from January to August this year, ten regions in the United States will also conduct 'Red Contagion' exercises. The exercises simulate the prevention and control plan for a respiratory virus spreading through international flights and causing a global pandemic 47 days later."

Meng Chuan said.

Because these are things that would actually happen in real history.

By the time their exercise is over, the pandemic will likely begin to spread widely.

It's just that this is a completely new virus, and the mortality rate is higher.

Scientists in many countries haven't even figured it out yet, and the diseased organisms have already died.

The virus was only discovered and identified and named in China.

That's why many people mistakenly believe that China is the first country of origin.

"What do you mean? What exactly are you trying to say?"

Alice asked Meng Chuan, puzzled.

"Alice, if you trust me, when you find out that the 'Red Contagion' drill has actually been launched, try not to go out. Stock up on masks and other necessities. For the next year, try not to go out."

Meng Chuan said very seriously.

Although Meng Chuan did not like Alice.

However, Alice is now technically his employee.

They established a foundation in the United States.

The current legal representative is Alice, but the financial backer behind her is Meng Chuan.

Therefore, Meng Chuan did not want anything to happen to Alice.

"why?"

Alice asked, puzzled but shocked.

"Don't ask why. I had a dream not long ago, and everything that happened in the dream has now become reality."

Meng Chuan thought for a moment and said:

"You must believe me, because in my dreams, many people will die."

Without giving Alice a chance to ask any further questions, Meng Chuan hung up the phone.

That's all Meng Chuan could say.

Any more would be inappropriate.

After hanging up the phone, Meng Chuan thought for a moment and sent an email to President Ye that very night.

The content is to open three more meltblown fabric production lines and triple the production capacity of protective clothing; this must be implemented immediately.

Then I sent an email to the head of the research department at Hongda Pharmaceuticals.

The content is:

I need the research department to develop a formula for a broad-spectrum antiviral drug targeting the coronavirus. I want to see the first batch of finished products off the production line by next Friday.

Now that the wheels of history have already begun to turn.

Time was running out for Meng Chuan.
