Chapter 1089 The Solution
After racking his brains for a few days, Li Mu never thought of a solution that was truly effective and seemed reasonable.
The basic principle of touching SARS is that it is impossible for me to make any announcements and mistakes about SARS before the World Health Organization announces SARS. Being questioned, someone with a big brain hole might really be able to give a guess that he was "reborn and travel through", and Li Mu couldn't take such a risk.
In this way, hoarding a large amount of materials to solve some problems for the people and the government at a critical moment has become Li Mu's core requirement for himself in the upcoming SARS incident.
The crux of the problem is that if Li Mu can't find a reasonable reason to do this in advance and hoard materials directly, he will still bring himself a lot of trouble. A boss worth tens of billions of dollars has many companies to operate, There are so many big deals worth hundreds of millions of dollars to see every day. If someone like him suddenly went to stock up a lot of epidemic materials, it would be strange not to be suspected to the core.
Just when Li Mu was about to break his head in Ziyun Mountain Villa and even grow a long stubble, he suddenly received a call from Senior Brother Liu.
Brother Liu asked the first sentence: "I haven't heard from you since I came back. Even the media that pays so much attention to you haven't reported on your recent situation. What are you busy with recently?"
Li Mu said: "I was too tired during this period of time in the United States. When I came back, I wanted to take a break. I have been resting at home these days."
"Oh, it's rare!" Senior Brother Liu said with a smile, "It's really rare that Li Mu, even after trying so hard, is able to rest."
Li Mu smiled and said, "What's wrong? I can't rest for a few days now and then?"
"Can you do it." Senior Brother Liu said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "I wish you could rest more often. You are my boss, so take care of your health."
Li Mu asked him, "Senior brother, where are you? Are you in Yanjing?"
"No." Brother Liu said, "I have been in Shenzhen and Yangcheng for the past few days. The automatic sorting system produced by Berman has completed customs clearance. After customs clearance in Shanghai and Hong Kong, it will be shipped to various places, and then the installation will be carried out step by step. Commissioning and then putting it into use, right now we have too many parcels in Shenzhen and the surrounding areas, so we are going to give priority to installing the first set of equipment in the sorting center in Shenzhen. I came here to supervise the installation and commissioning work.”
Since Taobao started from electronic products, it has driven Shenzhen's electronics industry very quickly. Therefore, Shenzhen has become the earliest city in China to be closely linked with Taobao and e-commerce. Now Taobao Logistics has many logistics bases in China. The pressure of the Shenzhen market is the greatest. The current industrial development scale of the Shenzhen market has begun to spread to the surrounding areas, and a pattern of industrial integration of Guangfo, Dongguan and Shenzhen has been formed.
The previous Yangcheng logistics base can no longer bear such huge pressure, so Taobao Logistics has invested and built a brand new logistics base in Shenzhen. At present, the importance of this place has become more and more important.
Li Mu asked subconsciously, "Senior brother, how long are you going to stay in Guangdong Province?"
Brother Liu said: "Look at you, if you have the time and energy to estimate the operation of Taobao recently, then you and Lao Lei will cooperate, and I will feel at ease to run our logistics-related matters outside; if you have time and energy, Limited, if there is a need for front-end operations, I will run back and forth."
A light flashed in Li Mu's mind.
Guangdong Province... the original birthplace of SARS, if you stay in Guangdong Province for a period of time, you will have the opportunity to get in touch with SARS in advance before the public understands about SARS.
If you are exposed to the SARS epidemic in Guangdong Province in advance at the end of this year, then you have reason to support the various preparations you have done in advance to prevent the outbreak of SARS.
Thinking of this, Li Mu suddenly regained his energy, as if the irritability of the past few days' hard thinking and contemplation was all guarded at this moment.
If you go to Guangdong Province for a period of time on the grounds of personally participating in the construction of Taobao logistics, you can not only experience the epidemic, but also directly use Taobao warehousing to do a good job in hoarding materials within the framework of Taobao.
At that time, I can completely let Taobao self-operate and cooperate with Taobao warehousing, and purchase materials related to epidemic prevention nationwide and globally. With personal experience as a trigger point, Li Mu can completely say that after experiencing the epidemic, Feeling the critical condition of the disease, with paranoia, the team must prepare materials.
For the current size of Taobao and the scale of funds, for the purpose of business sales, hoarding a huge amount of epidemic materials will not feel any difficulty at all. Moreover, Li Mu can first use a keen sense of smell from the perspective of a businessman. The hoarding of materials under the premise of possible proliferation seems to be hoping to rely on this batch of materials to drive Taobao's sales.
Once the epidemic is made public, we will immediately put the interests of the country and society first, donate part of the materials to the government for free, and then put the rest on Taobao. Panic in serious areas and panic buying and price increases.
In response to the operation of hoarding supplies, Li Mu not only did not plan to make a penny in this epidemic, but planned to spend at least over 100 million yuan to subsidize it. Although the loss was huge, this amount of money was not worth it to Li Mu at all. Mentioned that he only hoped to do his modest contribution to SARS.
Of course, if the operation goes smoothly, it will also be of great help to the subsequent development of Taobao. In terms of social influence and the development of users' online shopping habits, Taobao can also reap a long-term positive promotion.
After thinking about this, Li Mu immediately said to Brother Liu: "Brother, the automatic sorting system will be the top priority for the development of our own logistics system in the next few years, and it has always been something that I care about very much. I'll go look for you someday, and let's control the logistics together."
When Senior Brother Liu heard this, he immediately said, "Okay! You have arranged the time, and let me know when you will come over. I will pick you up at the airport."
Li Mu said, "I'll do it as soon as possible. I don't have too many things to deal with. I'll go after the arrangement."
After speaking, Li Mu asked him: "By the way, how is the installation progress of the automatic sorting system over there in Shenzhen?"
Brother Liu said: "The installation was completed after three days, and the trial operation was started on the fourth day. Because this is the first automatic sorting system for express parcels that has been officially put into use in a private enterprise in China, and it is also the most advanced sorting system in China, so I The event executive company has prepared a launch ceremony for the trial run, and some media will be invited to come over and write us some positive news.”
Speaking of this, Senior Brother Liu subconsciously added: "Right! Haven't you been in public view since you returned to China? Since you are coming to Shenzhen, I think you might as well come and participate in this launching ceremony. The domestic media If you knew you were coming, you must be crazy, and we won’t spend a penny at that time, and just relying on your appearance will be able to exchange for crazy reports from the national media.”
Li Mu nodded and said with a smile, "Okay! Then I'll go over to participate in the launching ceremony. You can make your voice bigger in the media. The more high-profile this matter, the better!"
"Understood! Leave it to me."
Brother Liu didn't know what Li Mu was thinking. He only thought that Li Mu wanted to take the opportunity to increase the influence of Taobao Logistics in China, but in fact, the main purpose of Li Mu's heart was to set a very high value for his behavior in Guangdong Province. The keynote lets people all over the country know that because he attaches great importance to the development of Taobao Logistics, he personally went to Guangdong Province to supervise the development and construction of Taobao Logistics in Guangdong Province.
As long as this high-profile foundation is laid, when the epidemic appears on a large scale in Guangdong Province, Li Mu will have enough reasons to immediately prepare a large number of epidemic materials and fill Taobao's warehouses all over the country!
After hanging up the phone, the excited Li Mu immediately called Li Ziwei and asked her to contact the domestic business jet company to arrange a small business jet to fly from Yanjing to Shenzhen in three days. This time, Li Mu was not going to bring too many people to accompany her. , it is enough to bring Li Ziwei and her three bodyguards.
After arranging for Li Ziwei to prepare for the charter flight, Li Mu immediately held a video conference with the heads of Makino Technology and Makino Impression. The promotion, the promotion of the Muying ticketing system, and the subsequent introduction of other theater chains, he also handed over all the promotion to the person in charge below.
Li Mu plans to stay in Guangdong Province for at least 20 days to a month. During this time, he is no longer ready to do other business himself, and delegates the power to his subordinates. He only sees the results in Guangdong Province. If there is any problem, he will remote command.
After the video conference, Li Mu immediately searched the Internet for some domestic and foreign manufacturers of epidemic materials, and did a good job in market analysis and preparation. Once the time was right, large-scale purchases would not be temporarily blinded.
Li Mu found out on the Internet that there are many domestic companies that produce disinfectant, and the varieties they produce are also varied, but the most mainstream is 84 disinfectant.
84 disinfectant was developed by Yanjing Ditan Hospital in 1984. It has successively transferred patents and technologies to dozens of domestic enterprises. Moreover, due to the high popularity of 84 in China, this disinfectant has a different kind of authority in the eyes of the people. Moreover, this authority can indeed stand up to scrutiny, much stronger than the "cure for all diseases" Banlangen.
Li Mu roughly analyzed the current manufacturers of these disinfectants. Before the outbreak of the epidemic, if they used orders to stimulate their production capacity, they would be able to produce more than 100 million bottles of disinfectant in at least two or three months.
In addition to disinfectants, cold and fever medicines, and temperature measurement tools, the more important thing is protective tools.
The most authoritative company Li Mu can think of is 3M in the United States. He happens to have some connections in the United States, and he can directly ask Elon Musk for help. Before knowing him, Li Mu felt that this person was very high-quality and knew. Later, he found out that he is a know-it-all and born with a kind of brokerage skills. At that time, he will directly purchase a large number of masks, gloves, and the most high-end medical biochemical protective clothing and other equipment on the market from 3M. The products of masks and gloves are positioned to serve ordinary people. All the most high-end protective clothing will be donated to the angels in white on the front line of the fight against SARS!
