"Ah-choo! Ah-choo!" Fang Mingyuan sneezed twice, rubbed his nose, and muttered, "Someone must be whispering about me behind my back."
Fang Mingyuan didn't know about the conversation between Su Aijun and Li Dongxing in Tongyi at this time, and now he was in Hong Kong.
Fang Mingyuan did not forget that Hong Kong was also one of the hardest-hit areas in the face of the disaster that might come as planned. This place, across the sea from the original place of the disease, was the place where the first outbreak of the disease was due to the close contact between people and the high density of the population. One of the few areas in Hong Kong, the number of patients in Hong Kong reached nearly 2000 and the death toll reached 300 in that disaster!
You know, according to later official statistics, in that disaster in the mainland, the number of patients exceeded 5000, and the number of deaths was only more than [-]. In terms of the death rate of patients, Hong Kong and Taiwan basically accounted for first two.
Although Fang Mingyuan didn't personally experience Hong Kong and Treasure Island in that period, he also knew something from the news and TV.
At that time, Hong Kong's tourism industry suffered a severe setback. Both mainland and overseas tourists were reluctant to travel to Hong Kong.After the news was announced, the number of people traveling to Hong Kong has decreased by more than 60.00% compared with previous years, and the hotel occupancy rate has dropped to a pitiful 20.00%. tourists!There are also few people in crowded business districts and scenic spots. Since Hong Kong's economy focuses on the service industry, the impact of this disaster is also very obvious.
Although Fang Mingyuan tried his best to make some preparations through the affiliated company in Treasure Island, but it was due to various reasons.Not convenient.But here in Hong Kong, Fang Mingyuan is much more convenient.
Hong Kong Xuebao Hospital and Hong Kong Shengde Hospital, which cooperate with German Phjk Medical Group Company and Samsung Hospital, are now dominated by the Guo family and the Zheng family. If you add the Fang family and Yu family, the two hospitals are actually Realized the holding.These two hospitals not only have advanced and complete medical equipment, but the medical level of the medical staff is also very good. They have a good reputation among private hospitals in Hong Kong.
Fang Mingyuan has already stocked sufficient medicines and protective equipment in the warehouse in Hong Kong, which is enough for thousands of people.
But now, what he needs to do.Just to convince Mr. Guo and Mr. Zheng!
"Mingyuan, what do you mean... Hong Kong is small and densely populated, and there are still a large number of tourists entering and leaving Hong Kong every year. However, in today's world, the natural barrier has become a natural barrier. It is an exaggeration. If any country has a strong Infectious diseases may spread to all parts of the world in just a few days?" Mr. Zheng said, "So you hope to establish two hospitals in Hong Kong that can receive this type of patients at any time?"
"Yes, Grandpa Zheng, the threat of powerful infectious diseases to human beings must not be underestimated. In the past, we called this infectious disease a plague, and besides causing a large number of deaths, it can also destroy cities, politics, The country, the disintegration of civilization. It can even annihilate ethnic groups and species! According to historical records, a plague from 430 BC to 420 BC caused the decline of the city-state of Athens, which once led Greece to defeat Persia twice. The same rampant black Death disease. That is, the later plague, which killed more than 2000 million people in Europe at that time, accounting for one-third of the total number of people in Europe at that time, and finally accelerated the decline of the mighty Roman Empire. And a smallpox The pandemic caused the Aztec Empire with a population of more than 2000 million to disappear in Mexico!" Fang Mingyuan said seriously, "Let's not talk about it, let's talk about the recent Spanish influenza, which occurred during the First World War. It caused the death of tens of millions of people around the world. The specific number of deaths was not a very accurate and authoritative figure because it was during the world war at that time, but a conservative estimate was more than 17 million people! And at that time The total population of the world is only [-] billion people!"
The two old men could not help but change their colors slightly, and gasped.Although the two of them said that they were no strangers to the term plague, and knew that powerful infectious diseases could cause great harm, they were not in the medical profession after all, and they didn't have a definite understanding of the specific numbers.The series of figures reported by Fang Mingyuan gave them a clear understanding of the lethality of the plague.
"According to the official statistics of various countries at that time, more than 20 million people in Spain were infected with the disease at that time, and even the king of Spain was infected with the disease. Many people were normal in the morning, caught the disease at noon, and died at night. Therefore, many countries restricted Citizens went to public places, and in some places, cinemas, dance halls, sports venues, etc. were closed for more than a year. The darkest month in American history, I forgot which month it was, it is said that more than [-] Americans were killed because of Spain Influenza died this month, and the average life expectancy of Americans was shortened by more than ten years than usual!" Fang Mingyuan continued, "If we say that we cannot be vigilant enough against infectious diseases, this is a lesson from the past!"
Mr. Zheng and Mr. Guo exchanged glances, they were just two private hospitals, Fang Mingyuan had already made it so clear, let him do it, at worst, just donate some money every year.
In the past few years, Guo's family needless to say, after Fang Mingyuan took charge of Guo's Shipping Group, Guo's Shipping has developed at a super speed in the shipping industry, and has become a shipping company with worldwide influence.It is Chow Tai Fook Jewelery & Gold Co., with the support of Fang Mingyuan, its business has grown significantly in the Middle East and the United States.This small amount of money is an astronomical figure in the eyes of ordinary people, and it is not a remarkable figure in their eyes.
Of course, more importantly, they also thought about Fang Mingyuan's past records - Fang Mingyuan not only has a superhuman business vision, but he also has a record of "successful funeral reports" several times.
The Japanese didn't believe him at the beginning, but the blood of the Chinese people after a major earthquake made them understand their stupidity.
Later, the Turkish earthquake that broke out completely dumbfounded the unbelieving Turks. Most people only know that the "prophecy" was spread from Hong Kong. But this old man knows that [-]% of them are Fang Mingyuan!
Now that Fang Mingyuan made such a serious request, maybe he "saw" something again?Hong Kong people are not "fearless" like ghosts and gods like mainlanders. Many people believe in the saying that there are gods three feet above the head. Hong Kong people have a lot of Feng Shui and fortune-telling, so Regarding Fang Mingyuan's ability, the two of them were not too afraid, but rather envious.
"Okay, we will convince other shareholders. If we say no, we will buy these two hospitals and transform them into hospitals that can treat patients with strong infectious diseases at any time." Mr. Guo laughed.
Fang Mingyuan heaved a sigh of relief. From a certain point of view, the effect of having two old men come forward was better than that of himself.
"Besides these, what else do we need to do? Do we want to buy some medical supplies and medicines in large quantities?" Mr. Zheng said with a smile.
"Uh, I don't need this, I have already prepared enough supplies." Fang Mingyuan hesitated and said, "Of course, if the two old men are willing to purchase some, if there are more in the future, they can also be donated to other regions."
Mr. Guo and Mr. Zheng couldn't help but exchanged another look, as if they really did.If he was not sure, how could Fang Mingyuan say such a thing?Sufficient supplies?Hey, medicines and medical supplies that can prevent and treat powerful infectious agents are not cheap, no matter whether they are Chinese or foreign.
Fang Mingyuan actually noticed this little move of the two of them, but he pretended not to. He believed that the two old men would not easily leak this conversation.It can be said that his own interests have been entangled with the interests of the two families to varying degrees. Only a fool would do such a stupid thing that hurts others but does not necessarily benefit himself.
The two old men nodded in agreement, which saved him a lot of trouble.However, he still has one thing to ask the two old men.
"Grandpa Guo, Grandpa Zheng, are you familiar with the directors of these TV stations in Hong Kong?" Fang Mingyuan asked.Hong Kong is not a big place, but there are many TV stations. Television Broadcasting Co., Ltd. is tvb, Asia Television Co., Ltd. is atv, Hong Kong Cable TV, Wireless Pay TV Co., Ltd., Now Broadband TV, Hong Kong Broadband bbtv and Phoenix Satellite TV, etc. Multiple TV stations.
"The American movie "Zone of Terror" is about the dangers of powerful infectious diseases. Although it is not so accurate, it can give people an intuitive understanding. I hope that in the next few months, I can show it on these TV stations. Of course, this may cause dissatisfaction among the audience..." Fang Mingyuan paused and said, "Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and I are not suitable to come forward to facilitate this matter. However, I plan to spend some time, Just saying that I appreciate the movie might help them."
The two old men looked at each other and smiled. They also understood Fang Mingyuan's scruples, but this request was really nothing to the two of them. They watched the establishment and broadcasting of these TV stations one by one, and they were their founders. For the two of them, they were either old friends or familiar juniors. With Fang Mingyuan's current name, wouldn't it be a trivial matter for such a thing? (To be continued..)
