In a slightly old house in Beijing, an old man was lying under the afterglow of the setting sun, wearing reading glasses and holding a book in his hand, looking attentively. However, the sudden ringing of a bell broke the peace.
"Mr. Zhang, the boss wants you to meet at the airport on the morning of the 26th." The voice on the other end of the phone said hurriedly as soon as the old man picked up the phone.
"What's going on?" Mr. Zhang asked doubtfully.
"Go to Wu City." After the other end of the phone finished speaking, there was a pause.
"How long will it take?" Mr. Zhang understood the meaning immediately.
"Three months." He said slightly uncertainly.
"Who else is going together?" Mr. Zhang continued.
"have no idea."
"What do I need to prepare?"
"have no idea."
"Okay, I understand." In simple words, a lot of information has been revealed. If it was not particularly serious, it would be impossible for the higher-ups to send him, an old man.
"Mr. Zhang, if you feel it is not suitable, you can apply. After all, you are old enough. It is very serious over there, more serious than what you see outside. After you go there, you may..."
"It's okay. A lot of you young guys are eager to apply. What's there to be afraid of for someone as old as me? In addition, please send me the detailed information there." Mr. Zhang said in a tone of voice. But he said it easily.
"Okay, Mr. Zhang."
Soon after, in this room, the old man called the boss of the largest traditional Chinese medicine distribution company in central China.
"Can you help me?" The old man said in a low-key manner.
"What are you busy with, Doctor Zhang?" The person opposite asked respectfully.
"Wu City." Mr. Zhang couldn't say it directly, so he probably mentioned his name.
"I generally know a little about what's going on over there. Just tell me. I can help you with anything you need."
"My conditions are very harsh. I may need tens of thousands of medicines every day, but you have to agree. I can't stop the medicine. I have to supply it all the time, maybe for several months. After the medicine is cooked, I have to give it to you. I'll deliver it to the designated place, designated hospital, and deliver it to the door." Dr. Zhang said directly to the other side before he could finish speaking.
"Yes, Doctor Zhang, it's no problem. If you need anything, just tell me at any time. As long as I have it, it's fine."
"I haven't finished talking yet. I don't have any money. I don't know who will pay."
"Money or not is a trivial matter. As long as it can save lives, I'll be willing to give it up."
"Thanks."
"No, I should be the one thanking you for your support."
Many cities and many hospitals have started support registration activities. This is a very dangerous support, but countless medical staff have enthusiastically signed up.
Are they afraid?
At this moment, countless people are at home.
Countless people know the seriousness of this disease.
The value of masks, a protective equipment, was suddenly highlighted.
Although I can't move at home, I still need it after I let go.
Be prepared.
With this idea in mind, masks, both offline and online, are being snapped up like crazy.
price?
Ordinary medical masks, which originally cost 2 cents each, increased in price to 50 cents each, and were out of stock within an hour.
Then it goes up to 1 yuan, 2 yuan, 3 yuan.
Price increases are still ongoing.
And it’s still cheap and out of stock.
The entire market is scrambling for masks.
During this period, everyone is at home. Those who can work from home can only work from home. They cannot work from home. It happens to be the Chinese New Year holiday, so everyone's mentality is actually okay.
However, various groups are very lively during this period, and there is no way to hang out, so we can only group chat through online channels.
"Did you get the masks?"
"No, you can't get it at all."
"We can't get it. We, a family of three, can't get it even if we set the alarm clock and stare at our phones every day. Moreover, the price of masks is crazy now. It's too outrageous."
"Fortunately, I still have some at home."
“Masks were so cheap before.”
"Yes, the prices are outrageous now. They have increased several times in price. The masks I added to the shopping cart before were only about ten yuan for 100 pieces, but now they have increased to more than a hundred yuan."
"The prices have all increased, even the masks from Qiao Fei's family have increased in price."
"The masks from Qiao Fei's family are pretty good. They used to be the most expensive ones on the market, but now they are almost the cheapest. But they are limited every day, so it's hard to get them."
"They are all shady companies that are trying to make a fortune for the country. When they see everyone buying masks, they raise their prices."
"Qiao Fei's family is fine, but now the cost has increased a lot. Their masks have increased so much, which is quite good."
"Yes, in my circle of friends, some people are reselling masks. Ordinary medical masks are sold for 5 yuan each. Qiao Fei's medical masks are sold for 10 yuan each. As for N95, they are more than 30 yuan each. "
"This price is too outrageous. Qiao Fei's ordinary medical masks are now priced at less than 1.5?"
"So, Qiaofei's family is very conscientious. Now the wholesale price of masks in factories is 2 yuan, and the supply exceeds demand. However, the selling price of Qiaofei's masks is only 1.5 yuan. Think about it. How about Qiaofei's company? .”
"It's just that if you choose a taller one among the short ones, the price will increase after all."
"I'm very conscientious. The cost of raw materials has gone crazy now. For example, the meltblown cloth in medical masks used to cost more than 20,000 per meal. Do you know how much it costs now? It's 500,000. The price of raw materials has increased 25 times. It’s increased 25 times, but Qiao Fei’s masks have only increased by that much? Do you really think they are making money?”
"If you look at it this way, the Qiaofei family is really quite conscientious."
"You have always been very conscientious, okay? You have forgotten that the Qiaofei family has always given masks to members before."
"Haha, my wife and I are both members of the Qiaofei Family. I still have more than 300 Qiaofei Family masks at home."
"Damn it, I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me. Qiao Fei's mask seems to have been sent to me as well. I don't know where it was stored. I'll look around for it."
"I remember that as long as you are a member of the Qiaofei family, you will be given masks, right? There must be several million members of the Qiaofei family at least, so there must be hundreds of millions of masks."
"How many millions are there? They have at least 10 to 20 million members, and they have given away billions of masks at least."
"Be a good boy, there are so many masks."
"Haha, I guess the boss of Qiao Fei's family will cry to death. If these masks alone were sold, it would be tens of billions."
"How do you know their boss didn't do it on purpose? Don't forget, the boss of Qiao Fei's family is the first public figure to speak in public. What's more, he is the first philanthropist in China who has donated more than 10 billion in cash."
"If you didn't mention this, I would have forgotten. At that time, it seemed that a lot of people were scolding him, saying that he was deceiving people with his evil words, and that he would do whatever it took to sell masks."
"Look, isn't this a slap in the face now?"
"I just checked the account of the boss of Fei Xiaqiao's family. A bunch of people apologized, and of course a bunch of people thanked him."
"The number of fans has exceeded 50 million. It is almost catching up with the official media."
At the same time, several big shots came to Wu Zhou's home in person.
As for why I'm not in the company, the city is closed and everyone is working from home.
Wu Zhou and his family could only wander around the villa in a small area. Although it was winter and the climate was cold, there was still a very large area of activity because of the thermal insulation glass cover.
After each leader came in, they looked around and praised him.
"Mr. Wu knows how to enjoy it."
"Xiao Wu, this villa is very comfortable."
When the leader comes, he definitely won't chat with Wu Zhou.
Mainly, protective equipment such as masks is needed.
After the city was closed, everyone stayed at home, but some supply-guaranteed enterprises and special enterprises had to go to work, such as the mask factory and protective equipment factory in Wuzhou.
So after meeting, after a few simple polite words, we started talking about masks and other protective equipment.
Of course, I'm not talking about Yuncheng.
There is no shortage of masks in Yuncheng.
There are only a few million people in the entire city, and the total number of civil servants is only a few hundred thousand, but Wu Zhou has sent tens of millions of ordinary medical masks and three million N95 masks.
There will definitely be no shortage of masks in more than a month.
As for hospital channels, Mr. Wu alone has delivered millions of N95s to doctors who have the most contact and need them the most.
As for the general public.
With ID, each person can receive 10 ordinary medical masks for free.
Approximately 50 million masks have been given away.
It also made the entire Cloud City very stable.
"I still have plenty of masks. Our company has more than 3 billion ordinary medical masks in its warehouses across the country, as well as 160 million N95 masks."
"In addition, the mask raw materials stored in our factory are estimated to be able to produce 2 billion ordinary medical masks and 300 million N95-level medical protective masks."
Wu Zhou talked eloquently and calmly.
But after Wu Zhou finished speaking, the leaders sitting opposite him looked at each other in confusion.
Finally someone asked as calmly as possible.
"Mr. Wu, everything you said is true. Are there really so many masks?" There was a slight tremor in his words, showing his uneasy state of mind at the moment.
Wu Zhou nodded. "certainly."
Smiles bloomed on everyone's faces.
"Xiao Wu, thank you!"
