I don’t know since when it was rumored that isatis root and white vinegar can treat SARS. In short, it seemed that people all over the country knew about this secret treatment recipe in an instant.
As a result, isatis root and white vinegar, which were not very scarce in the market, became scarce resources. The price has doubled, and a reporter even took a historic photo of a bottle of white vinegar costing 1,000 yuan.
Later, I don't know who spread the news about SARS. In fact, it was a lack of 'iodine'. Suddenly, iodized salt became the target of looting. As for the common-sense issue that this 'classic' is not that 'iodine', no one cares at all.
Under the premise of whether life can be guaranteed, everyone's IQ seems to be plummeting. Some people even know that it may be fake, but they join the rush buying with the mentality of just in case it is true.
Even if the government urges citizens not to grab it, there will be no shortage of white vinegar, isatis root, and especially iodized salt. But everyone still didn't pay attention to what they should buy and still bought as much as they could, fearing that SARS would catch up with them if they didn't buy enough.
At this time, a revelation on the Internet caught everyone's attention. Someone revealed that Millennium Supermarket had stocked up on three items: white vinegar, table salt and white vinegar. It even listed a data sheet for stocking up in advance, and then suggested that whether it was isatis root, white vinegar, or salt to treat SARS, the rumors were planned by Millennium Supermarket.
For a time, Millennium Supermarket, which was originally a leading company in the domestic retail industry, was instantly pushed to the forefront. There have even been violent incidents in supermarkets involving grumpy citizens who failed to buy white vinegar.
"What's going on?" Yang Dongxu sat in the office of Millennium Supermarket in Zhucheng with a gloomy face.
When I announced SARS, I immediately guessed that many people were sensitive. Even if Chen Weimin felt that there was even a 10,000 chance that this incident could spread the epidemic, he must block this gap and take the lead.
But there was still a lot of pressure on his side. Fortunately, after he stood up, Lai Tianqing, Li Yihang, Bai Qian and others stepped up to respond.
Coupled with the fact that the stars of Hainer Pictures also followed the publicity and appeal, everyone began to pay attention to this matter and then carried out preliminary epidemic prevention. But an undercurrent is brewing.
So at this juncture, Millennium Supermarket suddenly encountered a problem. If it is not handled well, it is very likely that the entire chain will collapse. All the efforts before that were in vain.
In fact, he also hesitated when facing this matter. Consider whether you are sitting on the sidelines. Even if you prepare in advance, you will not be the first to do so.
When the epidemic really spreads, then you should donate materials and materials, and you should donate money to gain both fame and fortune. But without hesitation for long, he directly picked up Mr. Sun and came to Zhucheng, deciding to be the 'first person'.
Because he knows that even if he follows the crowd, the benefits he will gain will not be less at all, and the risk will be smaller than being the first. But he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.
In other words, he can't be that cruel, and his heart isn't that dark. He knew that he did not have the national justice of a revolutionary martyr. If he was caught during the war, maybe his comrades would shoot him directly, which would be the best result. Otherwise, he himself would feel that he could not withstand the torture of the enemy, but without an unyielding character, he had his own bottom line.
"A manager in the logistics department was bribed to obtain the purchasing documents." Zhang Tianming lowered his head, and his expression was extremely gloomy at this time. He didn't expect that the managers of the small logistics department would give him such a cruel blow in the back.
"Where are the people?" Yang Dongxu narrowed his eyes.
"We haven't found him yet. We have called the police and are looking for him."
"Who did this?" Yang Dongxu continued to ask.
"There are shadows of other supermarkets behind it, but it doesn't seem to be all of them. It seems that someone is targeting us." Hu Dashan said.
It is difficult to investigate this matter if people don't catch it, because there are too many suspects. For example, it is possible whether it is Carrefour, which is currently fighting against Millennium, or the domestic retail industry that is watching the excitement.
"Are there any price increases for selling these three items?" Yang Dongxu knocked on the table and asked.
"No, absolutely not. I personally caught this matter and notified the manager of the store below that whoever dares to mess around will get out. Then according to your instructions, after the panic buying starts, all the customers who bought these three items, Each person can only buy one with their ID card.
The news report that we sold white vinegar at a high price and angered customers is seriously inconsistent with reality. It was the customer who was unreasonable and insisted on buying two copies, but the salesperson refused to allow the conflict. "Zhang Tianming immediately said, if this matter hasn't been done yet, then he can just get out.
Yang Dongxu's face looked better, "Continue to stock up for sale, and at the same time, instruct the following to collect information on all the stores currently selling these three items that have increased in price. Sequence our own suppliers and see how these three items are produced and delivered to us. In the store, the price has been increased at that point, and I have concrete proof.”
"Are you still stocking up? Didn't the south side say..." Zhang Tianming was stunned for a moment.
On February 11, 2003, two days ago, Guangdong, where the SARS epidemic was discovered, announced the recent SARS situation. He supported that all medical records are under control and emphasized that for a city with a population of tens of millions, the infection of more than 300 people is just a small medical record.
And in the interview the next day, people from the prevention and control center also predicted that there would be no large-scale epidemic of respiratory infectious diseases in the country in the near future, but there would be small-scale epidemics of respiratory infectious diseases in some areas.
So in everyone's eyes, this matter has come to an end, and even the Prevention and Control Center has spoken out. Apparently he felt that the current situation was good and wanted to stabilize the situation and calm down the panicked citizens.
Therefore, at this time, Yang Dongxu emphasized that he should continue to stock up, and it seemed that he would continue to insist on making this matter bigger and stricter, and even called on the whole society to pay attention to this matter. Zhang Tianming felt that his young and wise boss had his self-esteem hurt by this failure and was a little angry.
"Follow my instructions." Yang Dongxu glanced at Zhang Tianming, and Zhang Tianming, who wanted to say something else, closed his mouth.
After leaving the Millennium Supermarket office, Yang Dongxu went directly to the Chinese Medical School. The prevention and control center has collected SARS virus specimens and brought them back to Yanjing for further research.
Because Chinese medicine is traditional Chinese medicine, it is not good at Western medicine. And since we don’t have some sophisticated medical equipment, we don’t need to study virus specimens ourselves.
However, the two doctors who followed the expert team to the south had close contact with the patients and even conducted detailed diagnosis and treatment using traditional Chinese medicine techniques.
Currently, these two doctors are in school, giving a detailed explanation of the conditions they observed from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine. At the same time, there are also detailed case reports from the perspective of western medicine for comparison and reference research by Mr. Sun and others.
"How's it going?" When they came to Chinese Medicine, Mr. Sun and others had just finished preliminary research. Looking at Mr. Sun and several senior Chinese medicine doctors Yang Dongxu who looked tired, they couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
Maybe some people have shortcomings of this or that in normal times, and some even love money to death. But when faced with big issues of right and wrong, these people did not complain at all, and even brought out what they had learned and experienced throughout their lives.
"It's very troublesome." Mr. Sun said, rubbing his eyebrows.
Yang Dongxu looked at the other senior Chinese medicine practitioners, all of whom had serious expressions on their faces.
"There are so many cured cases, but there is no way to develop effective treatments?" Yang Dongxu asked anxiously.
He is very clear that even with his influence, the current SARS situation has only received advance attention from the higher authorities. But so far, the trajectory of events in the first half is similar to that of the SARS epidemic in previous generations.
In other words, the historical wheel of SARS infection across the country and even the world did not change because of his appearance, but directly ran over him.
And now all he can do is use his influence to continue to appeal. The most important thing is to see if drugs to treat SARS can be developed in advance. As long as specific medicines are available, even the outbreak of SARS will not frighten the whole people like it did in the previous life.
"We have looked at all the cases, but these cured cases are only for reference and have no further value." said an old Chinese medicine practitioner.
Yang Dongxu looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Traditional Chinese medicine treats people with one person, one prescription. Although many prescriptions can be used by most people, everyone's constitution is different. For some people with special constitutions, the prescriptions need to be adjusted appropriately according to the different conditions.
Of course, not everyone who has been cured of the epidemic has a special constitution. Rather, it means that they were cured, of course, due to treatment methods and medicines. But there are also some physical and other factors that influence it.
All in all, if you use the method to treat them on other people, you may not be able to treat another patient well. "
After listening to what the other party said, Yang Dongxu was still confused.
"Let's put it this way." Mr. Sun said: "For example, when facing a cold, which is what everyone calls a cold now. There are treatments for simple colds, and there are treatments for pneumonia if there is a serious fever.
In short, when faced with this disease, there are many treatments and methods that can cure people. Moreover, this treatment method is applicable to people with special constitutions, such as those who are allergic to drugs.
Even for people who are allergic to special drugs, there are other ways to cure them after eliminating allergy drugs. In short, the disease is controllable no matter how it changes.
But this epidemic is different. Based on the current situation, we have not found an effective way to treat it. Every successful treatment has a certain element of luck in it. Luck is the most elusive thing. It would be irresponsible to rely on luck for treatment. "
Yang Dongxu wanted to say something else, but then the phone rang. Seeing the call from Chen Weimin, Yang Dongxu begged for mercy and left the house.
"Hello."
"What's going on over there?" Chen Weimin asked directly.
"It's okay, just some clowns."
"That's not what I'm asking. I've read the report from the Epidemic Prevention Center. Why do I feel like you still don't want to let go of this matter?"
"It's not that I don't want to let go, but I'm really worried." Yang Dongxu said again what Mr. Sun just said: "This matter can be big or small. If I really get it under control, everyone will be happy, and I will be a bad guy. It’s nothing. But what if it breaks out again?”
Chen Weimin on the other end of the phone couldn't help but fell into silence.
After a while, Chen Weimin said: "Okay! I understand, you can do whatever you want over there. I will give a detailed report to the epidemic center to see if we can get the epidemic emergency plan to be launched there to carry out special medicines." development.”
"Thank you." Yang Dongxu was really moved, because at this time Chen Weimin still wanted to vigorously promote this matter, and the risks he took were several times higher than before.
"If you stand in front of me at this time, I will whip you just for saying this. The country does still have some ailments of one kind or another, but generally it is good and will get better and better in the future.
So you are not the only one who worries about the country and the people, and we are not idlers either. We are working hard for the development of the country and the happiness of the people, but there are also many unknown heroes who are sacrificing their lives.
The things your boy did are nothing compared to those unsung heroes. Don't feel like you are worrying about the country and its people day after day while everyone else is just eating in their graves.
Apart from anything else, if I give you a county seat, you might not be able to manage it better than the county magistrate. Aren't you good at business? Don’t you have a keen eye and discern people and select elite soldiers and generals? So what does the inspection team you have set up do? How did the corruption in your company appear? "Chen Weimin said angrily.
Yang Dongxu's face turned red instantly, not with anger but with shame.
