It was not only the media and leaders who did not understand why Li Mu could foresee the future, but also the general public.
Li Mu's generous donation was impossible to keep a low profile even if he wanted to. As the joint donation list of Taobao and Makino Technology was exposed on the Internet, Li Mu and his two companies became the focus of public opinion and social attention at the same time. People paid more attention to him than to the epidemic itself.
The public's attitude was basically the same. First of all, the whole society was full of recognition and praise for Li Mu's donation this time. It was not only because Li Mu's donation of epidemic prevention materials this time was absolutely a timely help, and they were all the best charcoal. More importantly, Li Mu always used his practical actions to express his strong sense of responsibility to society as an entrepreneur and a public figure. Previously, Taobao's strong move to cut down the soaring price of materials had already made the people admire it. No one expected that just one day later, Li Mu would come up with such an amazing gift again.
In addition to the generous praise for Li Mu, the people were also guessing and gossiping about Li Mu's incredible foresight. Why? Why could Li Mu start to prepare such a large scale of epidemic prevention materials so long in advance? Did he really have the ability to foresee the future?
Compared with the rigorous media, the public's comments were naturally much more casual. For a time, a lot of speculations broke out on the Internet.
Some people said that Li Mu was not an ordinary person. From his entrepreneurial process, it could be seen that he was a person who had a strong grasp of the future and the ability to advance. Therefore, it was not a big deal to prepare in advance to deal with the epidemic.
There were more abnormal news. Some people said that Li Mu could predict the future by observing the sky, some said that Li Mu was assisted by a Tantric monk, and some said that Li Mu was proficient in the Book of Changes and Eight Diagrams. Some people even said that they once saw Li Mu visit a Taoist priest in a Taoist temple, and all his business initiatives were enlightened by the Taoist priest.
The most outrageous theory was that some people speculated that Li Mu might have been reborn from the future. The reason why he could prepare for the epidemic in advance was that he had long known about the outbreak of the epidemic.
The first few strange theories were supported and recognized by many people on the Internet, but the small number of people who said that Li Mu was reborn were sneered at by the netizens. Most netizens were willing to believe that there were supernatural abilities in this world, and they were unwilling to believe that someone could really travel through the barriers of time and space and return to the past from the future.
Just as all kinds of opinions were spreading wildly on the Internet, the joint donation between Taobao and Makino Technology had entered the substantial payment stage.
Li Mu did not show up to meet with the leaders of the health and transportation departments, nor did he hold a donation ceremony with them. He only sent Li Ziwei as a representative to go to the two departments with several staff members to discuss the specific process of the material delivery.
Li Ziwei originally tried to persuade Li Mu to show up in person. After all, the specific matters of this donation had been closely followed by the national and even international media. If Li Mu showed up in person, it would definitely be a huge boost to his personal image.
However, Li Mu really did not want to show up in public for the donation. As for his personal image, Li Mu no longer valued it as much as when he first established 3321. At that time, he needed to build an invulnerable golden body for himself. Now, if he still ran the same thing, it would seem that he was trying too hard. He did not have to show up in public to gain a wave of attention and worship every time he did something practical for society. Most of the time, he only needed to do things with his heart.
However, Li Mu was still prepared to show up in public for this matter, because he had to let the media, the people, and the world know why he could "predict the future" and start preparing to deal with the epidemic in advance. Otherwise, if he really let the random speculations continue to develop, it would inevitably have a lot of disadvantages for him.
Because Li Mu really did not want to show up, Li Ziwei had to bear the huge pressure and bring a team to the relevant health department to confirm the related matters of the material donation with the department leader. Therefore, early the next morning, when the donation list was given out, Li Ziwei and the team members appeared in the relevant department's office building.
A large number of media reporters had been waiting there for a long time. Although they had heard that Li Mu might not participate in this meeting, they still held a glimmer of hope that they could capture Li Mu's figure at the scene.
However, the reality still disappointed them. Li Mu's personal assistant, Li Ziwei, officially came under Li Mu's request with the team, but Li Mu did not appear in the representative team.
Li Ziwei deliberately dressed up a lot more mature than usual, dressed like a professional elite, which made many media people's eyes light up. Although they often saw her when following up on Li Mu's news, when Li Mu was not by her side, she still shone brightly, which made everyone feel particularly amazed.
The leaders of the department personally welcomed the arrival of Li Ziwei and the team. While the media reporters kept taking photos, they also kept asking Li Ziwei questions, asking why Li Mu did not personally attend the meeting. Li Ziwei then gave a unified explanation in front of the media: Li Mu has been working too hard recently, and he did not have enough rest, which led to him feeling unwell, so he took a sick rest.
Li Mu did not appear in order to keep a low profile, but he could not say so in front of the media. On the one hand, it would seem that he did not pay enough attention to the leaders, and on the other hand, it would seem a little deliberate. Therefore, the media could accept the excuse of feeling unwell, and the leaders would not feel that there was any neglect, killing two birds with one stone.
Sure enough, when Li Ziwei said this reason, all the media expressed absolute understanding. After all, Li Mu was not a god. There would be times when he was tired and sick. The intensity of his work these days could be imagined, so everything was reasonable, and it made people respect him more.
The meeting was held in the largest conference room of the department's office building, which could accommodate dozens of people and hundreds of participants. At the moment, it was overcrowded. The leaders and staff of the department were on the left side of the conference table, and Li Ziwei and her accompanying staff were on the right side of the conference table.
At the beginning of the meeting, after the leaders expressed their gratitude to Taobao Network and Makino Technology for their generous donations, they invited Li Ziwei to speak. Li Ziwei first greeted all the leaders in front of the microphone on the table, and then paid tribute to all the health staff fighting in the front line of epidemic prevention. She conveyed the respect and gratitude of the staff of Taobao Network and Makino Technology to the frontline workers, and then expressed her position to the leaders and the media. The reason why Taobao Network and Makino Technology made this material donation was that they hoped to provide help and protection to the great frontline epidemic prevention workers.
On behalf of the frontline epidemic prevention workers, the leaders also thanked Li Mu, Taobao Network and Makino Technology for their concern and great help to the frontline epidemic prevention workers and the national epidemic prevention work. Interestingly, when Li Ziwei made a formal speech, she did not mention Li Mu, but the leaders specifically expressed their gratitude to Li Mu.
Later, Li Ziwei got to the point and said Li Mu's donation plan, "We hope that all the donated materials can be used in the frontline epidemic prevention work in various places, so we also hope that this batch of materials can be directly distributed to hospitals and the CDC all over the country. Due to the advantages of Taobao Logistics in transportation capacity and efficiency, we can distribute the materials to all parts of the country in a very short time. Therefore, we hope that the leaders can formulate a distribution rule according to the current needs of the epidemic prevention work. Then we will strictly follow the distribution rules set by Taobao Logistics to deliver the designated materials to the designated units in the shortest time, and then the designated receiving units will issue the acceptance receipt, and finally summarize and check."
The mobilization of materials was much more troublesome than the mobilization of funds. The financial department only needed to sit in front of the computer or operate for a moment in front of the bank counter to complete the distribution instantly. However, the actual value of materials exceeding 100 million yuan may require hundreds of large express parcels to be delivered to hundreds of different addresses. If the Taobao Network delivered the materials to the relevant health departments first, and then they distributed and completed the distribution, it would be difficult for the relevant health departments to complete such a huge turnover of materials in a short time. Therefore, the best way was to let the department leaders formulate the distribution rules, and Taobao Logistics would directly sort and pack the materials, and then transport them separately.
As soon as the leaders heard this solution, they immediately expressed their approval. Since the epidemic had been announced, at this special moment, everyone wanted to work together to control and solve the epidemic. The large-scale mobilization of materials needed to be summarized and delivered. It needed to be distributed and split, and then transported separately. This required very high logistics efficiency. At present, it was a critical period. Only Taobao Logistics could achieve this transportation capacity and efficiency. Although Big Brother Post could achieve the transportation capacity, its efficiency was much worse than Taobao Logistics.
Therefore, the leaders immediately stated that they would distribute the materials jointly donated by Taobao and Makino Technology within one day. These materials would not be handled by the ministries or local authorities. The distribution of materials would be detailed to each specific unit, such as a province, a city, a district, a hospital, and a specific person in charge would be responsible for receiving, checking, and feedback. Taobao Logistics could directly transport the distributed quantitative materials to the designated specific unit and connect with the specific person in charge to confirm the receipt.
In this way, the efficiency had indeed been greatly improved!
The media people present praised in their hearts. The importance Internet companies attached to efficiency could be seen from this incident. Not only did they streamline the process to the extreme, but they even personally took charge of the transportation process. This sense of responsibility was indeed an eye-opener for the National People's Congress.
In the subsequent meeting with the relevant transportation departments, Li Ziwei did not propose the previous solution. On the contrary, she proposed to deliver all the promised donated materials to the competent authorities at one time. After determining the receiving location of the materials, Li Ziwei and the relevant transportation departments promised the transportation departments that the materials would be delivered to the designated location at six o 'clock that afternoon.
