Chapter 295: Dealing with Hong Kong Flu
Wang Yuanchao was clearly not contaminated, yet others came up to him on their own initiative.

Before Letty left, they all gathered around her, chatting and waiting.

They had already paid tribute to Howard and waited eagerly for a long time before finally getting the chance.

There will be a lot of words of congratulations and expressions of loyalty, but if Wang Yuanchao cannot bring good days to everyone, everyone's respect for him will soon disappear, and even backlash is not impossible.

Everyone dispersed, and Wang Yuanchao left Zeng Qirong behind and told him:
"Let's follow the original practice and do this first."

Zeng Qirong immediately realized that this was a temporary measure, nodded, and said:

"Then your share..."

Wang Yuanchao said:

"I have a Buddha statue that was probably made during the Song Dynasty more than a thousand years ago. It is very precious.

It should be enough for half a year.”

Zeng Qirong was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't dare to look up at Wang Yuanchao. This new boss was so thoughtful that he didn't even take the money he collected! He insisted on letting him "buy" the antique Buddha statue!
Is this to prevent him from biting you?

His mind was full of thoughts, and before he could figure out what to say, Wang Yuanchao continued:
"Being so straightforward won't last long. I heard from Superintendent Huo that the authorities want to curb this trend. What if they take drastic measures one day? What will we do?
But I have recently come up with some ideas, I will talk to you again in a couple of days. "

The following supplement made Zeng Qirong feel relieved. As Lui Lok's confidant, he certainly knew about the authorities' anti-corruption plans. Lui Lok even considered retiring early, but he died before he could retire.

So he nodded and left.

If you love to worry, you will have endless things to worry about.

Zhao Zhaoqin, with his wife and children, was the last one to toast.

Compared with other units, his security guard hall is small in scale and mostly has apprentices, so they cannot help the boss make money.

Moreover, Wang Yuanchao paid him a high salary, his eldest son's salary was also good, and even his wife, who helped with chores in Bao'an Hall, had a much higher salary than in the mainland.

After living here for half a year, the family realized that the house they lived in was worth tens of thousands.

Just because Wang Yuanchao didn't mention it, they couldn't pretend they didn't know.

You have to work hard to make money. It is difficult to buy this house, so you have to go out and buy a property. My eldest son is also at the age to get married.

This cocktail party tonight opened the young man's eyes. When had he ever seen so many beautiful girls?

Back to the topic, Zhao Zhaoqin congratulated the boss, but Wang Yuanchao asked directly:
"What is the current situation of febrile disease?"

Zhao Zhaoqin said honestly:
"Boss, the number of febrile diseases that the pharmacy has received has been increasing recently. As for the major factories..."

In fact, he was not prepared to talk about these things at the boss's celebratory party, as he always felt that these words were not very auspicious. But since the boss asked, he didn't have any psychological burden.

Two months ago, around July, Zhao Zhaoqin went to Wang Yuanchao to report a situation. Through his daily diagnosis, sales of medicinal materials, and communication with patients, he found that the number of colds and chills was slightly more than in previous years.

Wang Yuanchao has many factories under his control and the workers are densely populated. If he doesn't pay attention, it will be disastrous. So in response to Zhao Zhaoqin's report and reminder, he immediately asked someone to contact the hospital to inquire about the situation.

Not good!

The number of people catching colds is much higher than in previous years.

但医院方面说了，是H3N2病毒，由1957年亚洲流感H2N2病毒转变而来的。

No one took it seriously, including the hospital itself.

But when Wang Yuanchao heard the H几N几, he immediately felt something was wrong, as if by reflex.

The three years or so before the time travel came to my mind again. With one order, society came to a sudden stop.

The memory is deep and distant, as if it were a century ago.

A century indeed.

As for the pandemic influenza, well, we still need to prevent it. The cost of prevention is not high, it’s nothing more than a mask and sterilization.

The meltblown cloth in the middle of the mask, which plays the main protective role, was invented in foreign countries in the 50s and has been mass-produced and applied in the 60s. Hong Kong has masks imported from abroad that contain this stuff.

Wang Yuanchao did not just rely on imported meltblown fabrics. At the same time, he directly imported meltblown fabric production equipment and arranged for people to purchase technical licenses. These days, the United States is still very willing to sell technology abroad.

As for the raw materials for producing meltblown cloth, plastic companies are not short of them.

He already has a factory in Chai Wan, where there are many textile companies. It is not a big problem to open a mask production line. It will take a while for a fully automatic production line to be made, but he is good at the manual semi-automatic assembly line, which is no problem at all. Disinfectant alcohol can only be imported, as Hong Kong does not have the production capacity of alcohol. But this thing is not expensive, and Hong Kong has lime, which can also be used for disinfection!

The medical industry will have to be developed sooner or later. Wang Yuanchao still has so many good drugs, all with molecular structure diagrams of the drugs, but those things need to have a foundation before they can be taken out.

Because Deep Blue and Blizzard have the largest number of employees, it is particularly important to ensure their production safety.

As for newspaper offices, radio stations, horse racing ticket sales outlets, etc., they also need to pay attention to safety and epidemic prevention.

In this regard, no one is more aware than him.

He has made so much money, giving his employees a little bit of benefits is really nothing.

As for protecting the lives and property of the Hong Kong people, Wang Yuanchao cannot care so much for the time being. Firstly, people will think it is a rumor, after all, the hospital and the authorities do not take it seriously; secondly, if it affects the whole of Hong Kong, the cost will be too high.

He only has about 400 workers, plus their families, maybe to people at most? How about the whole of Hong Kong? Almost million!
Bao'an Hall increased the order of relevant medicinal materials from the mainland, and developed the finished medicine in advance according to Wang Yuanchao's instructions, so that it can be taken after a hot water rinse. The dosage must first meet the needs of its employees and their families, and it is equipped according to the amount of 10 people, so that they can treat diseases when they are sick and protect themselves when they are not sick. If there is a little more, maybe we can use it to do favors.

This cost is insignificant compared to Deep Blue Blizzard's normal production.

In addition, all units must immediately set up emergency medical teams, purchase large quantities of medical supplies from home and abroad, and carry out publicity on cold prevention and treatment in the workshop. Anyone in the workshop with symptoms such as coughing and fever must be pulled out for diagnosis immediately.

Take precautions before problems arise.

At the same time, reporters from Phoenix Daily and Hong Kong Commercial Radio also began tracking major medical clinics and Chinese medicine pharmacies in accordance with their bosses' requests.

Many people think that the boss is making a big deal out of nothing. Although they don’t take it too seriously, they still have to pay attention to what the boss tells them to do. They can’t go against Qian Tu, right?
Therefore, all industries owned by Wang Yuanchao immediately issued health and safety management regulations, specifying what disinfection measures should be taken in the unit and what epidemic prevention measures employees should take. Those who failed to comply would be fined.

For the sake of money, everyone still cooperates with the boss's requirements. After all, they don't have to pay for the epidemic prevention costs, the boss pays for it.

I heard that employees of Deep Blue and Blizzard have to wear masks when working in the factory. In this hot summer, other units are much happier than those two factories.

Ma Erqin had experienced the plague in Northeast China in 1910-1911. At that time, Wu Lien-teh led the victory in the anti-epidemic war. But now, seeing his disciple like this, he also felt that it was a bit of an exaggeration. Zhao Zhaoqin did give a reminder, but shouldn't it be so drastic?

Wang Yuanchao's instructions were exactly the same as Wu Lien-teh's actions back then, and even more so.

This guy can arrange even such things in such detail. It would be a waste if he didn't become a doctor.

Seeing the boss making such a big move, Zhao Zhaoqin didn't dare to persuade him. After all, he was the one reporting. If he persuaded him again, how would the boss see him? But Ma Erqin couldn't hold it back at that time and said:
"Yuan Chao, isn't this a bit too noisy?"

Wang Yuanchao said nonchalantly:

"Master, for things like this, it's better to believe it exists than not to believe it exists.

Besides, do you and Manager Zhao both feel that the power of this febrile disease is a bit strong?
We need two masters like you to come for consultation. Can ordinary Chinese medicine practitioners see this problem?
If a large number of people in a workshop fall ill and production is affected, the loss would be huge.

Besides, if employees pay attention to health and safety and develop good hygiene habits, it will be good for them and for me too.

You and Manager Zhao should not feel any psychological pressure. Hygiene is everyone's responsibility.

If everything goes well this time, we can expand the pharmacy's business to finished medicines.

Many people have caught a cold, which is pretty much the same thing. Just take some Xiao Chaihu Decoction or Jin Yinhua Decoction, and that's about it, right? Many people don't have money to see a doctor, but they can still afford to take a Chinese medicine decoction.

"

Ma Erqin didn't say much about Wang Yuanchao's last sentence. Firstly, the medicine was not given accurately enough, and secondly, it was a waste of medicinal materials. However, it was efficient. She could just go back and soak it in hot water and drink it.

Okay, this guy doesn’t care about money, so why should they care?
……

Therefore, in addition to being in charge of Bao'an Hall, Zhao Zhaoqin is also the chief person in charge of the medical and epidemic prevention teams of various units under Wang Yuanchao. She has the imperial sword and reports directly to Wang Yuanchao.

However, Wang Yuanchao also knew that this topic was not suitable for in-depth discussion here, so he stopped talking directly:
"This is not the place to chat. How about this, tomorrow, um, come to my house for lunch at noon. Then call Master and we can talk about this together."

Zhao Zhaoqin didn't expect that Wang Yuanchao would still pay so much attention to him after such a long time. He was a little flattered. He lived in the same neighborhood as his boss, but he had never seen many people go to his boss's house for dinner! And he had been there many times...

In fact, the situation at Wang’s company is not very serious. Compared with the outside world, it is much better. After all, those epidemic prevention measures cannot be faked.

Moreover, H3N2 is not the scary virus that existed before the time travel.

Historically, the flu in Hong Kong, as far as records are available, infected more than 50 people and killed about to people. Most of them were Chinese living in shanty towns, because most Chinese lived in poor conditions, crowded and unventilated. There were far fewer Johns living on the top of the mountain.

Therefore, after Wang Yuanchao implemented various management methods, the effect comparison was very obvious.
