Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

The wedding is over.

However, the online buzz has remained unabated.

Liu Qian originally wanted to go on a global honeymoon with Meng Chuan.

She has already taken a month's leave for this.

However, Meng Chuan objected.

Although the mask incident would normally not have broken out until the end of the year.

However, the historical trajectory is now completely different from what Meng Chuan remembers.

Meng Chuan also couldn't guarantee that the mask incident wouldn't happen sooner than expected.

This is one of them.

Secondly, the virus may have already been prevalent in many countries long before the pandemic.

However, at that time, many countries did not have the testing capabilities.

It may go undetected, making it impossible to determine its nature.

For safety reasons, Meng Chuan chose to have his honeymoon in China.

Incidentally, Meng Chuan also took a tour of his own companies.

They also brought a large amount of medical supplies and other items, which they gave to many people.

For example, Zhang Erming and Wang Zheng from Beijing.

Others include Xu Jiu and Zheng Donglai.

After the honeymoon ended, Meng Chuan stayed at home with Meng Zhili.

Liu Qian went to work as usual.

December arrived quickly.

In December in the south, although the Lunar New Year is approaching, the weather is still quite hot and dry.

That afternoon, Meng Chuan was playing with Meng Zhili in the living room, building blocks, when his phone suddenly vibrated.

The words "Shadow Butterfly" flashing on the screen made his heart tighten inexplicably.

Under normal circumstances, Yingdie would not call Mengchuan.

Because Yingdie has now become a full-time stay-at-home mom.

She wouldn't call Meng Chuan unless he contacted her.

Meng Chuan glanced at Liu Qian, who was busy in the kitchen.

He got up, walked to a corner, and answered the phone, deliberately lowering his voice:

"what happened?"

Yingdie's voice came through the receiver, unusually urgent:

"Something's happened. We just got news from Wu City that there's been an outbreak of unexplained fever, the symptoms are severe, and there have already been deaths."

Meng Chuan's fingers tightened suddenly around his phone:

"What's the current situation?"

Meng Chuan was shocked.

He had been telling Yingdie to keep a close eye on Wu City, and sure enough, she came.

"Just this morning, the Green Gang's intelligence on Wu City was reported."

Yingdie speaks extremely fast:

"From onset to death, the fastest case took only three days, and almost everyone who had been in contact with the patient developed symptoms, making it frighteningly contagious."

Meng Chuan's brows furrowed deeply; this virus crisis seemed even more severe!

Just as he was about to say something, Yingdie dropped an even more shocking bombshell:

"Also, our people in the US have sent back news that some of the symptoms of this virus are similar to those of the flu that is currently causing a major pandemic in the US. They may be from the same source, or they may be a variant. We'll have to wait for the analysis data to come out to know for sure."

"A cornered dog will jump over the wall."

A word flashed through Meng Chuan's mind.

my country's economy has bucked the trend and grown in the past two years.

Dreamsea Semiconductor International is now developing rapidly.

Significant progress has been made in 7nm chips.

In contrast, the United States' containment measures have repeatedly failed.

After Trump came to power, the policies he and Monchuan remembered remained almost unchanged.

However, the results were minimal.

Furthermore, Trump has introduced many policies targeting China.

Including the trade war.

Unfortunately, this trade war has failed to achieve its intended effect.

The current US policies not only fail to sanction my country, but also...

They even need our help in many aspects.

To maintain their dominant position, they are capable of anything.

"Keep a close eye on the situation, and report any new developments to me immediately!"

Meng Chuan said seriously.

Meng Chuan hurriedly hung up the phone and dialed Zhan Qi's number:

"Immediately activate the highest level of emergency response and be prepared. If the authorities have any needs, immediately mobilize the stockpiled ventilators and protective suits and prioritize their supply. Also, keep the production line running 24 hours a day."

During this period, Meng Chuan was in a semi-retired state.

As the vice president, Zhan Qi is now getting into his stride.

"understand!"

Zhan Qi didn't understand what had happened.

However, he always obeyed the young master's orders unconditionally.

"In addition, I previously instructed you to suspend your research on the 'virus'. Concentrate all resources on broad-spectrum antiviral inhibitors and start emergency clinical trials now."

Regardless of the type of virus, broad-spectrum antiviral inhibitors have a certain therapeutic effect.

There is no accurate data yet, but broad-spectrum antiviral inhibitors are the best drugs.

"Yes, young master!"

Zhan Qi hung up the phone.

At that moment, Liu Qian appeared behind him without his noticing.

His face showed worry:

"What happened?"

She felt a chill run down her spine when she heard the words "Level 1 Response" and "virus".

Meng Chuan was about to say something.

The phone rang again.

This time it's Old Huang's turn.

Every time something happened, Old Huang would almost always call second.

It wasn't that he wasn't fast enough, but rather that the Green Gang's intelligence system was more sophisticated.

Meng Chuan still had to answer Huang Lao's call; he had originally intended to call him as well.

Therefore, Meng Chuan stopped Liu Qian from asking any more questions and directly connected with Elder Huang's phone.

"Young Meng, have you heard the news? Perhaps what you were worried about has really happened!"

Old Huang's voice was very solemn.

Ever since his last phone call with Meng Chuan, Old Huang has been deeply worried.

After learning about the situation, he immediately called Meng Chuan.

This made Huang Lao feel even more that the Green Gang was unfathomable.

"I just heard the news myself. What's the situation now?"

Meng Chuan is not a medical professional, after all.

Moreover, being thousands of miles away, Meng Chuan had no idea what the specific situation was like there!

"We can't find the source of the disease, we only know it's a completely new virus. And it's spreading rapidly. What do you think we should do?"

Actually, the higher authorities don't really pay that much attention to it right now.

After all, the number of deaths is still very small.

Only areas where confirmed cases were located were placed under lockdown.

"This virus is more serious than we thought. We must immediately concentrate the best medical resources and medical teams for treatment."

Meng Chuan's voice was unusually firm: they needed to first identify the type of virus before they could develop targeted drugs.

"Mr. Huang, you have to believe me. With your influence, you are the most suitable person to be the whistleblower."

Meng Chuan said in a deep voice.

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, then Old Huang's voice trembled slightly:

“I understand what you mean. The expert group was just discussing it, and some people felt that the reaction was overreacting, since the cases are currently concentrated in a small area... But now that you've said it, I understand.”

"Please expedite the lockdown decision; there's no need to worry about medical supplies."

Meng Chuan said solemnly:

"Hongda Medical and Hongda Pharmaceutical have activated the highest level of emergency response. All inventory is being prioritized for supply, and production lines are operating 24 hours a day. My people will fully cooperate in transportation, warehousing, and personnel allocation, and will be available on call at any time."

Old Huang breathed a sigh of relief, his voice gaining more confidence:

"I'm relieved to hear that. I'll go report to my superiors right away; we must act quickly."

After hanging up with Old Huang, Meng Chuan turned to Liu Qian, his face full of apology:

"I'm sorry to have worried you. The situation is a bit complicated, it might be... the kind of thing I mentioned to you before, something the US is up to."

"Then what should we do?"

Liu Qian was also a little anxious.

However, she wasn't too panicked, because she couldn't imagine how serious the situation was.

"Wait!!"

...Two chapters merged into one...

And so the wait continued until January 2020.

Since December 2019, cases of infection with the virus of unknown cause have been discovered one after another.

By January 7, 2020, less than half a month later, relevant departments confirmed that the pathogen of the pneumonia of unknown cause was a novel virus.

By January 12, it was named the "2019 novel virus".

The disease caused by the virus was subsequently named "COVID-19".

It took about a month from the first case to its confirmation as "novel pneumonia".

Before it was clearly identified as "new pneumonia," no comprehensive lockdown measures had been implemented.

However, thanks to Mr. Huang's insistence, relevant departments have activated an emergency response.

This includes isolating and treating cases, conducting epidemiological investigations, and disinfecting relevant locations.

On January 23, the country implemented its first "lockdown" measures.

This is the first time that strict lockdown measures have been taken in response to the "new coronavirus".

Subsequently, various regions gradually adopted corresponding prevention and control measures based on the epidemic situation.

Fortunately, there was support from Hongda Pharmaceuticals and Hongda Medical, who provided a large amount of medical supplies.

There has never been a shortage of medical supplies in China.

First, Meng Chuan's two major subsidiaries, Hongda Pharmaceutical and Gaohongda Medical, have stockpiled a large amount of medical supplies.

Moreover, it is provided free of charge to all parts of the country, prioritizing supply wherever there is a need.

If the hospital is unable to accommodate the patients.

Soon, a large number of makeshift hospitals began to spring up within a single day.

Because Meng Chuan made it easier for his companies to build makeshift hospitals.

Once the surface is leveled, it can be quickly erected.

In this respect, China's speed has astonished the world.

With the support of a large amount of medical supplies, the situation in China has been greatly alleviated.

The case fatality rate dropped sharply.

The cure rate has also greatly improved.

With a large number of cases, Hongda Pharmaceuticals began research day and night.

In addition, Hongda Pharmaceuticals inherited the experience and extensive technological foundation of Sinovac Biotech.

It greatly helps in vaccine development.

Unlike the inside,

As this new coronavirus outbreak spreads globally, medical supplies worldwide are in dire need.

In particular, some countries with weak industrial bases are calling for international assistance.

Against this backdrop, there are truly very few countries that have a surplus of medical supplies.

Even fewer countries are truly willing to extend a helping hand to other nations.

Even the countries that initiated the Industrial Revolution, such as Europe and America, are struggling to cope with their own problems.

The United States is now considered an industrial powerhouse, and the world's attention is focused on it.

But let alone providing aid, it would be good enough if it didn't go on a global procurement spree, or even force some countries that were already lacking in supplies to import them.

Only a major Eastern power can be self-sufficient.

Therefore, countries around the world have turned their attention to the great Eastern power.
