When Li Mu's interview was broadcasted on the evening and evening news programs, all kinds of speculations and rumors about Li Mu were completely shattered.
Li Mu explained very well why he prepared for SARS a few months in advance. This was because when SARS first broke out in Guangdong Province, he personally experienced it. Since the information about SARS was completely publicized, the public also knew that as early as a few months ago, cases of SARS had been found in Guangdong Province. However, at that time, SARS did not show strong lethality. The first patient found in Guangdong Province had even recovered and was discharged from the hospital in January. The reason for the rapid development was said to be related to the mutation of the virus.
With this fact as a basis, no one doubted Li Mu's statement anymore. A few months ago, he was in the epidemic area, which was the key to all the subsequent developments.
However, this alone was not convincing enough. After all, a little bit of groundless information was not enough to support Li Mu to spend more than two billion yuan in advance to prepare for the epidemic. At this time, Anne Hathaway became the most crucial part of the complete reasonableness.
After personally witnessing the process of Anne Hathaway being quarantined because she was suspected of being infected with SARS, it must have greatly deepened Li Mu's impression of SARS and the importance he attached to it. Therefore, all of this seemed even more reasonable.
In addition, there was another factor. This factor came from Li Mu's personality. Just like the earth-shattering words that Li Mu said with a smile in front of Sun Junyi, he had a unique vision. He saw problems deeper and farther than others, and he had always been bold in doing things. For a supporting project, he could take out twenty billion yuan in one go, so a mere two billion yuan was nothing to him.
The timing, opportunity, and style of doing things were all right. With these points combined, no one doubted that Li Mu had any "foresight" ability. On the contrary, everyone regarded this matter as a "microcosm" of Li Mu's success. If his mode of thinking and style of doing things were no different from ordinary people, he would not have been able to become the boss of Makino Technology and Taobao Technology.
Li Mu used his completely logical and reasonable chain of cause and effect to overthrow all the doubts in society. At the same time, he further attracted great recognition and praise from the whole society.
Before this, Li Mu had just made the "Veterans Never Die Charitable Foundation" known to the world, making the veterans and himself respected from all over the world. It was a remarkable achievement. How long had it been? In the blink of an eye, he took out billions of urgently needed materials to stabilize the price of goods and stabilize the people's morale. At the same time, he also brought a large donation to the medical staff. The successive large donations had completely convinced the people. Almost everyone thought that it was a blessing for the whole society to have such an entrepreneur.
In addition to shattering the rumors and making the people praise him, Li Mu's interview also caused some side effects. This was because Anne Hathaway occupied a very important position in Li Mu's chain of cause and effect. She was about the same age as Li Mu, and she was also a well-known beauty. These factors made many people begin to suspect whether there was a secret relationship between Li Mu and Anne Hathaway.
This suspicion was not groundless. After all, Li Mu and Anne Hathaway had been involved in a scandal. There had always been people in the outside world who firmly believed that Li Mu and Anne Hathaway were actually a golden couple who were in the midst of a transnational love affair. That was why the two of them attended the Spielberg Charity Night together. Moreover, it was said that the two of them had a relatively intimate private contact at the charity night.
It was precisely because of this that Anne Hathaway chased Li Mu all the way from the United States to Hua Xia. On the surface, it was to discuss a movie project, but it was not reasonable at all. If it was really to discuss a movie project, Spielberg could have come alone. Why did he bring Anne Hathaway instead of other actors? Weren't there still Tom Hanks and Leonardo?
Moreover, Li Mu had invested so much money to film "Flying Tigers" and used Tom Hanks and Leonardo, two super-A-list Hollywood superstars. Why did he choose Anne Hathaway as the female lead? Although she was also a Hollywood movie star, she had only debuted for a short time. She was young and inexperienced. Compared to these two big shots, her status was not just a little bit lower. This must have been because of Li Mu's approval, or even special care.
Also, Anne Hathaway traveled thousands of miles to meet Li Mu, but she suddenly had a high fever in Shenzhen and was even suspected of being infected with SARS. Li Mu must be very nervous and concerned about it. That was why it further prompted Li Mu to make the decision to use billions of materials to prepare for SARS.
After this point of view was exposed on the Internet, it immediately attracted a large number of netizens. There was no doubt that in the eyes of the people of Hua Xia, Li Mu was an entrepreneur and philanthropist who was highly respected by the society. Therefore, the people also hoped that he could have a good relationship. In the eyes of the people who were watching the show, no one was more suitable for Li Mu than Anne Hathaway.
The two of them were absolutely the perfect interpretation of what it meant to be a talented man and a beautiful woman. A talented man and a beautiful woman were a popular story, not to mention that Anne Hathaway was also a Hollywood female star. This label made the people hope that Li Mu and Anne Hathaway would be together.
Therefore, a hot topic began to brew on the Internet: Hope that Li Mu and Anne Hathaway would make their relationship public …
Li Mu originally thought that after Yang Ma's interview was broadcast, he could completely solve the problem of being questioned by the society. However, he did not expect that his goal would be achieved, and there would be another side effect. When he saw so many gossip news on the Internet seriously analyzing his "secret relationship" with Anne Hathaway, Li Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
However, Li Mu was also very clear in his heart that rumors could be shattered, but not gossip. If he came out to refute the rumors, it would be equivalent to publicly admitting it. Therefore, he could only keep silent and let them speculate.
…
That night, the chief editor of YY got a news from Yang Ma that Yanjing had currently confirmed the first SARS patient. This SARS patient arrived in Yanjing by plane from Hong Kong this afternoon. When he got off the plane, he was checked to have an abnormal body temperature. Then, the airport staff immediately quarantined the passenger on the spot and notified the Yanjing CDC. The Yanjing CDC immediately sent an ambulance to the airport and took the patient to the hospital's SARS Prevention and Control Center. Together with the people who were taken to the hospital for observation, the customs and airport staff who had direct contact with the passenger were also taken to the hospital for observation.
However, according to the strict quarantine requirements of the health department, the situation was far from that simple.
Although the case had not been immediately diagnosed, the CDC followed the rules that had just been set by their superiors and immediately communicated with the airport to notify the quarantine requirements.
There were a few requirements from the CDC:
First, the flight crew and the plane that arrived in Yanjing at the same time as the passenger were all grounded. The flight crew should immediately be arranged by the airline company in a unified isolation accommodation. Then, the temperature of the flight crew should be closely monitored. Once abnormal body temperature was found, the hospital should be contacted immediately.
Second, the airline must get in touch with every passenger on the same plane to find out their health condition, especially if they had a fever. At the same time, they must find out their address and inform the neighborhood committee of the address to pay close attention. It was still the same principle. Once abnormal body temperature was found, the hospital should be contacted immediately.
The requirements of the CDC were relatively perfect, but the implementation of this matter was not as easy as imagined.
According to reliable sources, the plane happened to be an Airbus A330-300 wide-body passenger plane, and the flight was during prime time. The occupancy rate was more than 85%, and the number of passengers on the passenger list was 258.
For an international airport, for an international metropolis, 258 people were like a light boat in the vast ocean. It could easily be submerged in the city's daily population flow of millions. However, when 257 of these 258 people became potential virus carriers and infected, the problem was very terrifying!
Around 12 o 'clock at night, the CDC released the news that the patient was infected with SARS. This caused an uproar in the entire anti-SARS system. Before this, everyone had been preparing for war, praying that there would be no epidemic in Yanjing while actively preparing for the response. However, when the moment really came, everyone still felt a little unprepared.
According to the consultation sharing alliance reached with Yang Ma, when Yang Ma informed the chief editor of YY about this information, she deliberately reminded him that the news of the confirmed case could be immediately reported on YY's rolling broadcast, but no additional information should be reported. The discovery of a SARS case in Yanjing could make the citizens of Yanjing pay more attention to it. However, if they knew that there were more than two hundred potential virus carriers and infected, it would probably cause social chaos.
Li Mu also agreed with this. He had always insisted that the information should be made public to the public, but only the information that was confirmed would be made public. He would never make public information that was uncertain or groundless. That would bring great trouble to the social order.
Immediately, YY immediately released an alert: The first SARS case in Yanjing has been confirmed. Currently, the patient has been isolated by the Yanjing CDC for treatment. The general public, please pay attention to protection.
At the same time, YY also released the news on behalf of Taobao. Now, Taobao had included Yanjing in the "confirmed epidemic" area, and all epidemic prevention materials were available for purchase by Yanjing locals.
Even in the middle of the night, this news still caused a huge uproar.
It was said that many netizens who were booking a night in the internet cafe immediately placed an order on Taobao after seeing this push. They got off the computer and went home or went back to their dormitories. They did not dare to stay in the internet cafe for a second longer.
The speed of the spread of the news was not only the push on the internet, but also the phone calls and text messages from relatives and friends. Many people who were sleeping were woken up by the phone calls and were told by their relatives and friends that a confirmed case had been found in Yanjing.
As the boss of the two companies, Li Mu immediately issued a few instructions to the people in charge of the two companies through a conference call.
From tomorrow onwards, the epidemic prevention level of the two companies would be raised to the highest. The company's buses and offices would be completely disinfected three times a day in the morning, noon, and evening. The disinfection must be supervised and accepted by the administrative department.
The administrative department of the company would arrive at the company half an hour earlier every day to measure the temperature of all the employees who arrived at the company and outsiders. All those whose temperature exceeded 37 degrees would be refused entry into the company, even if they were business partners. Employees whose temperature exceeded 37 degrees would immediately go home to work in SOHO or even take a vacation.
All employees whose temperature exceeded 37.5 degrees would immediately go to the hospital for treatment and inform the company's human resources department. All the treatment expenses would be reimbursed by the company. Employees who did not have enough money could apply for an advance payment from the company.
