Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

The lockdown order issued on January 23rd was like a boulder thrown into a lake.

It quickly caused ripples across the country.

Although there is no shortage of medical supplies.

But people began to panic.

Across the country, the number of people on the streets has visibly decreased.

On the phone, more and more maps are being highlighted in red.

The novel coronavirus is spreading faster than anyone expected.

In particular, the situation in various countries around the world is becoming increasingly unfavorable.

People became even more panicked.

Besides keeping up with the news, Meng Chuan has also been paying close attention to the allocation of resources during this period.

Liu Qian walked over with a glass of warm water, looking at Meng Chuan with some concern:

"It feels like the whole world is in chaos. Everyone is hoarding medical supplies, and I heard that many pharmacies have been emptied out."

In fact, Chinese people have always had the habit of "being prepared for any eventuality".

Let alone this "new pneumonia," even a typhoon could trigger a panic buying of supplies.

Therefore, any antiviral drugs are snapped up immediately.

This virus outbreak was fierce, and both daily necessities and medical supplies were subject to massive panic buying.

Meng Chuan took the water glass, the warm touch on his fingertips warming his heart as well.

"Have Zhanqi arrange a public relations team to use official accounts to popularize the science. In addition, notify its chain pharmacies that antipyretics and masks must be subject to price limits and hoarding and price gouging are not allowed."

Meng Chuan solemnly said:

"All products under our company are subject to price increases by pharmacies. Any pharmacy found to have raised prices without authorization will have its partnership permanently terminated. All masks in locked-down cities must be removed from shelves and are prohibited from sale."

Liu Qian was startled:

"If we don't allow it to be sold, I'm afraid it will cause even greater panic..."

Meng Chuan shook his head:

"We will not sell, but give away enough masks to the locked-down cities, and have the property management deliver them to each household."

Meng Chuan had no say in the looting of daily necessities.

Meng Chuan believes the country has the ability to regulate the situation effectively.

However, Meng Chuan still has some say in the matter of medical supplies.

Because now over 90% of the medical supplies in the country are supplied by Mengchuan.

Those pharmacies all fawned over Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan decided to give away masks instead of selling them, partly because he was worried that a large influx of people into pharmacies to buy masks would increase the risk of infection.

Having the property management deliver the goods is the best way to alleviate panic.

Liu Qian nodded in agreement, but couldn't help glancing at Meng Chuan a few more times.

During this period, Liu Qian was also stuck at home due to lockdown and had nothing to do all day, so she volunteered to be Meng Chuan's assistant.

All of Meng Chuan's orders came from her mouth.

It was precisely because of Meng Chuan's influence that Liu Qian came to appreciate Meng Chuan's greatness even more.

This was also the first time I had such a direct experience of Meng Chuan's profound vision and his deep concern for the country and its people.

This man is truly worthy of her entrusting her life to.

Of course, it also made her feel incredibly heartbroken.

Ever since the news from Wu City arrived, Meng Chuan has been like a clockwork toy.

I receive and make endless phone calls during the day.

I spend my nights researching on the computer, and the dark circles under my eyes get worse every day.

She wanted to persuade him to rest, but swallowed the words back.

Because she knew that he carried far more on his shoulders than she could see.

Just then, the phone rang again; it was Xu Jiu.

"Meng Chuan, do you have any extra protective suits?"

Xu Jiu's voice was weary and genuinely weak.

Meng Chuan knew that Xu Jiu was infected.

And it's already the second day since I was admitted to the hospital.

However, the diagnosis was mild.

"How are you doing?"

Meng Chuan asked with some concern.

“I’m okay, but I heard from the nurses that the protective suits my hospital has in stock will only last for three days, and the supplies we’ve requested are still on their way.”

Xu Jiu coughed a few times and said.

It wasn't until he entered the hospital that Xu Jiu realized how hard the medical staff worked.

Moreover, they remained steadfast on the front lines.

Even Xu Jiu couldn't bear to see them collapse due to lack of resources.

"What's going on? All hospitals will be prioritized for delivery when they are in urgent need."

Meng Chuan frowned:

"Just wait a moment."

As he spoke, Meng Chuan took out another phone and dialed Zhan Qi's number:

"How did you allocate the supplies? Why is the Third Hospital of Beijing facing a shortage of medical supplies?"

Meng Chuan's tone carried a hint of anger.

"Young Master, we are short-handed! Many drivers are afraid to go. We also lack transportation."

Zhan Qi smiled bitterly.

He hasn't slept for three days.

The problem isn't a lack of supplies, but a lack of people.

Almost all the people we can use now are from the War Hall.

The problem is, while the people from Zhan Tang dare to go, Zhan Tang doesn't have many vehicles!

"Then increase the pay. Issue a notice offering 10,000 yuan per person per day to anyone who volunteers to join the transport team. If they get infected and die, there will be a 1 million yuan compensation. If you still can't recruit people, then recruit vehicles for me. As long as you have a vehicle and are willing to rent it out, the rental fee will be 1,000 yuan per day. If it is damaged, you will receive three times the compensation."

Meng Chuan said in a deep voice.

It's just money; Meng Chuan originally came from society.

Then let us take from the people and use it for the people.

"Understood, young master, I will carry it out immediately."

"Zhan Qi said."

Upon hearing Meng Chuan's words, Xu Jiu, on the other end of the phone, inexplicably burst into tears.

What kind of responsibility?

This is!

What does it mean to serve the country and its people?

that's!

Meng Chuan, who is nearly thirty years younger than her, is the real entrepreneur!

Actions speak louder than words!

"Don't worry! I guarantee that the first batch of supplies will be delivered to your hospital by tomorrow at the latest."

After hanging up Zhan Qi's call, Meng Chuan then spoke to Xu Jiu.

"Saying thank you is no longer a way of expressing my deep respect for you. Meng Chuan, if there is ever anything I, Xu Jiu, can do for you, I will do my utmost without hesitation."

Xu Jiu said in a slightly hoarse voice:

"Furthermore, I will provide 5 million for the costs of requisitioning vehicles and personnel, which you can use as you see fit."

"Sister Xu, do you think I need..."

Meng Chuan spoke with a wry smile.

However, Xu Jiu interrupted:

"I know you're not short of money, and I'm not as rich as you."

"5 million is not much, just consider it a small token of my appreciation."

"Besides, you can't do all the good deeds and leave nothing for me, can you? Let me participate too..."

That’s all for the sake of talking about it.

Meng Chuan couldn't very well refuse.

Therefore, I agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Meng Chuan was about to contact the relevant person in charge to request an expansion of production capacity when...

Mr. Huang's video request popped up.

Old Huang's hair on the screen had turned quite gray, and the dark circles under his eyes were no less pronounced than Meng Chuan's.

“Young Meng, things are getting increasingly strange on the international stage. The US just announced restrictions on the export of medical supplies and even claimed that we ‘manufactured’ the virus and that we should pay compensation.”

Meng Chuan sneered:

"Their own domestic flu mortality rate has tripled, and instead of caring about the lives of ordinary people, they have time to smear others. Fine! They always like to sanction others, so I will sanction them in my personal capacity."

Meng Chuan hasn't even really started targeting the United States yet!

As the saying goes, it is impolite not to do something improper when you come.

Meng Chuan also wants to let it taste the bitterness of punishment.

Moreover, it was a unilateral sanction imposed by a businessman.

"Our country has never advocated hegemony."

Old Huang smiled faintly:

"However, we will not interfere with some individual behaviors; that is your own personal behavior."

Old Huang's smile was particularly meaningful.

"You didn't call me just to talk about this, did you?"

Meng Chuan asked irritably.

"How's the clinical trial progress for the broad-spectrum inhibitor you mentioned before?"

"Old Huang asked."

"Preliminary results were released yesterday."

Meng Chuan said:

"It's currently effective for mild cases and can shorten the course of the disease. We're still testing it for severe cases, but at least there's hope. I've asked the pharmaceutical company to open three more production lines, and we're aiming to start mass production next week."
