Rebirth of science and technology to rejuvenate the country

2003 was an impressive year. At the beginning of the year, there was an atypical pneumonia that made the Chinese people feel panic in their bones.

The airborne SARS virus has brought indelible pain to the Chinese people. Of course, compared with the new crown pneumonia that swept the world more than ten years later, SARS can only be regarded as a small preview, but its impact on people The damage done is indelible.

Yuan Xia bought a lot of masks, alcohol and spare medicines, and distributed them to parents, sisters and brothers-in-law, as well as Chongyang, Mulati and Sonar.He also told Yuan Dong to prepare some for his relatives in Chang Le's natal family.

Yuan Dong was still somewhat disapproving: "It shouldn't be that scary." At this time, there were already many cases in Guangzhou, and the Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China began to pay attention to it. There was already a rush to buy white vinegar and isatid root in Guangdong.

Yuan Xia said very seriously: "Prevention before it happens! This virus is transmitted through the air. Don't you worry about the safety of your family? It's good that young people have strong resistance, and there are old people and children at home. You are in Shenzhen. It's very close to Guangzhou, so you should pay special attention to safety, you know?"

Yuan Dong didn't dare to be careless anymore, and cooperated very well to buy masks and alcohol, as well as some commonly used medicines for his father-in-law's family as backup.

Yuan Xia actually wanted to take Yu Xingyi's parents to live in Yuecheng for a few months, at least to avoid the epidemic in Beijing. After all, the two elders are old and have underlying diseases, so they really can't stand the storm.

He discussed with Yu Xingyi, Yu Xingyi didn't have the ability to predict, so he naturally didn't know how terrible the SARS would be next, but he just felt that there was heating in the north at this time of year, and the two elders might not be able to withstand the severe cold when they went back to the south.

Yuan Xia asked the two elders for their opinions, of course in a more tactful way, whether they want to live in the south for a while.He can't say that he is going to take refuge now, after all, there are no cases in Beijing yet.

The old man said that he would wait for the weather to warm up before going.

Yuan Xia knew that he could not stop the spread of SARS in Beijing. After all, how did he know who brought the virus to Beijing?So he can only protect his relatives and friends as much as possible.

He took Yu Xingyi to buy a lot of rice and noodles and came back. He also stocked up a lot of food such as canned meat jerky and daily necessities, and even prepared enough common medicines for the second half of the year. .

The way he shopped surprised everyone in the family.

Yuan Xia explained: "Unknown pneumonia has appeared in Guangzhou. I am worried that it will be serious, so I stored it in advance, and it is durable. Prevent it before it happens."

Yu Xing smiled and said, "Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?"

Yuan Xia said: "I hope my worries are unnecessary. Parents are so old, if it is really serious, we can't take the risk."

Not only that, Yuan Xia gave Liu Yang and Si Hongjin a large pack of masks and medical alcohol as a New Year gift.Their reaction, without exception, is to give this for the Chinese New Year. Is it too exaggerated?

Yuan Xia fooled a few words, saying that the situation reported by his staff stationed in Guangdong was more serious.He knew that his actions would soon be appreciated by them.

Not long after returning to Yuecheng, Yu Xing received a notice that his old house was going to be demolished.

Over the past few years, various districts in Yuecheng have undergone renovations. Many people who lived in dilapidated old houses have moved into spacious and bright new houses.

Therefore, many people in the old city are looking forward to the demolition of their houses, but Yu Xingyi does not look forward to it.

This old house carries too many memories of him. His childhood, teenage years, and the present time, there have been pains, but more of them are happy and beautiful. He and Yuan Xia have lived here for more than ten years. Memories of them are everywhere.

He originally hoped that this area would not be demolished and would remain the same.But it's a pity that although there are many neat and beautiful houses like them in this area, most of them are chaotic and crowded private houses.More importantly, his house was built after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and its history is not long enough, so it has no cultural value worth preserving.

As soon as Yu Xing looked at the white words on the wall, he felt quite depressed.Will every brick and tile be pushed down and razed to the ground?Is his and Yuan Xia's family going to disappear like this?

Yuan Xia knew that this day would come sooner or later, but when it did come, it did not mean that he could accept it calmly. He lived in many places in Yuecheng, but in his heart, he had a deeper feeling for this place than for his happy home.

He and Yu Xingyi planted the pomegranates and plum blossoms in the yard by themselves, and they dug the mud in the water tank from the countryside... Once the gate was closed, the yard shut out the chaotic world and became an independent Small world, a secret and safe small world completely belonging to them.

Is this warm and tidy courtyard really about to be turned into ruins?Their only Taoyuan will also disappear, and it feels uncomfortable to think about it.

Yu Xingyi said: "Is it really going to be demolished? I can't bear it."

Yuan Xia naturally understood his feelings, and she couldn't feel any worse than him, but she still comforted him: "In the future, when we go back to my hometown, we will build a yard like this. Before the demolition, there are some usable things here, we can first Take it apart and move it away, maybe it can be used later.”

Yu Xing shook his head: "I've thought about it a long time ago, and it seems that there is nothing I can use. These wooden structures are also very simple, and they don't have much collection value."

This house was rebuilt by my grandfather after the war. At that time, the time was short, and my grandfather was also a pragmatic person. The structure of the doors and windows was relatively simple and practical, and it was not as luxurious as some rich people's houses.

Yuan Xia said: "Then record the panorama of the yard, and then go back to the countryside and rebuild the yard as it was. When we get old, we will retire there."

Yu Xingyi nodded with a wry smile, there was no other way.

House demolition, replacement of buildings according to the area or cash compensation, of course, it is more cost-effective to choose a house, after all, cash is compensation based on the current house price, and the house will appreciate in value.

According to the area, this small courtyard can replace six buildings.Although Yu Xingyi knew that he and Yuan Xia could not live in so many houses, but in the future they could give them to a few children.

After Yuan Xia returned to Yuecheng, he found a mask company and placed a large order. He ordered a large number of medical masks, and also bought a large amount of medical alcohol and 84 disinfectant for backup.

At the beginning of March, the situation really became serious. The SARS in Guangzhou became more and more serious, and various rumors spread everywhere.It is said that it is a plague, and it needs fumigated vinegar to kill the virus, and eating Banlangen to prevent it, so the white vinegar and Banlangen on the market are sold out.

At the beginning of March, the first imported case of SARS finally appeared in Beijing, and the country also started a nationwide SARS prevention and control work.

All walks of life began to cooperate with the epidemic prevention. For a while, masks, alcohol, white vinegar, and Radix Banlangen were sold out all over the country.

Yuan Xia had the foresight to distribute masks to company employees every day, disinfect workshops and factory areas, and measure body temperature every day. It can be said that the implementation is quite strict and standard. Epidemic prevention model.

When relatives and friends called Yuan Xia, they were all amazed at his foresight.Yuan Xia once again urged everyone to take proper precautions.

Yu Xingyi also thought it was too miraculous: "How did you know this would happen?"

Yuan Xia said: "I heard that it was pneumonia, a respiratory infectious disease, and I knew it was very serious, so I made these preparations."

The rumors are getting tighter and tighter, many colleges and universities have closed their schools, and Yu Xingyi has also lived in a school dormitory that has been useless for a long time, and has to advance and retreat with the students.His research work can only be carried out in the school laboratory.

Guangzhou is the hardest-hit area of ​​SARS. This year's spring Canton Fair Yuanxia is not planning to participate, and it will be changed to an online Canton Fair.

However, one thing to be comforted is that Xingyuan received an invitation to bid from China Construction Group, and he concentrated on preparing for the bidding.

Ordinarily, for such a large company, the business department should be responsible for the bidding, instead of the boss Yuan Xia doing it himself every time.

It's just that Qin Lin and Wu Zhiyuan, who are currently the strongest in Xingyuan's business ability, are not highly educated, so it is a bit difficult to make bids.Tao Yang is capable in all aspects, but he was transferred to him by Yuan Xia.

The highly educated employees who later entered the business department were not as outstanding in terms of performance as Qin Lin and Wu Zhiyuan. Letting them lead the business department was not very convincing, so there were large-scale bidding activities, and Yuan Xia did it himself.

So Yuan Xia is a little worried now, she must cultivate some sales talents who can stand alone, she can't always rely on herself, she has to let others do it.

He gradually formed a plan in his mind. The company's product categories are increasing, and its business scope is beginning to spread all over the country. The business department should be subdivided.

Subdivide the business department and promote more supervisors and team leaders, which is more conducive to the cultivation of key talents.

So when preparing the bidding documents this time, Yuan Xia asked Wu Zhiyuan to prepare one, and he said: "Zhiyuan, your business ability is very strong, if you can make up for the shortcoming of bidding, it will be perfect. This time Make a bid too."

Wu Zhiyuan had never done a bidding document before, so he was a bit blindsided, but he still put his heart into it.

A week later, Wu Zhiyuan submitted the bidding document he made to Yuan Xia. He smiled a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Yuan, but my education is too low, and I can't even do the bidding document well."

Yuan Xia took a rough look and said, "Actually, you can ask the employees in your team to do it. You always look at the good and the bad. If you think the bid is qualified, send it to me for review."

Wu Zhiyuan nodded: "I see, I'll try again."

A few days later, Wu Zhiyuan submitted another bid. This time it was much more detailed than the last one, but the key points were not too prominent. Yuan Xia made some comments and said, "Take it back and revise it. There will be another bid next time." , I'll let you take the lead, I believe you can do no worse than me."

Wu Zhiyuan scratched his head: "Mr. Yuan trusts me so much, so I'll try."

"Try it, if you don't do many things, who knows you will never do it."

The bidding site this time was in Chongqing, and Yuan Xia took Tao Yang, Wu Zhiyuan, and another salesman who assisted Wu Zhiyuan in making the bidding.The factory is still headed by Liang Hongchang.

Since Chongqing was designated as a municipality directly under the central government in 97, the speed of development has not been the same as before. Especially after entering 2000, urban renewal and urban construction are in full swing. China Construction Group has contracted almost all major projects here.

During the epidemic, it is a very risky business trip to other places. Fortunately, Yuecheng and Chongqing are both low- and medium-risk areas, and they have not been strictly prohibited to pass through.John Deere branch located in Beijing, the hardest-hit area, was disqualified from bidding.

Since it was an invitation to bid, Yuan Xia was not too worried, at least he could get a share of the action.Especially for cement pump trucks, Yuan Xia knew that he basically had no competitors in this area.

At present, the pumping height of Xingyuan's cement pump trucks also ranks first in the country. As a mountain city, Chongqing has complex terrain and limited urban area. Buildings can only be developed to high-rise buildings, so the pumping height has an advantage.

However, during the bidding, Yuanxia ran into some troubles. Doosan, who came to participate in the bidding, also mainly promoted cement pump trucks, and the price was even cheaper than Xingyuan.

Doosan's dominant product has always been excavators. Since last year, Doosan has launched a cement pump truck, but it is said to be the first generation product, which is only for display and not for sale.To put it bluntly, their products were not mature at the time.

This time it finally got real, and the quotation was cheaper than Xingyuan, which shows that Doosan's main purpose is to compete with Xingyuan.

Because Cheng Yaojin, who was Doosan, was killed halfway, the sales of Xingyuan's cement pump trucks were not as good as expected, and some of them were distributed by Doosan.

This is market competition, and Yuan Xia shouldn't have said anything at all, but thinking of what Doosan and Volvo have done together, he couldn't help but give them a supercilious look. Is Xing Yuan afraid?

Just after signing the contract with Zhongjian, Yuan Xia received a call from Ni Kuan: "Yuan Xia, Mr. Liang is sick and hospitalized, it's a stroke."

Yuan Xia was stunned after hearing this: "Why? How is the situation? Is it serious?"

Ni Kuan said: "He woke up this morning, fell off the bed and couldn't stand up, and his tongue was a little bit loud. His wife sent him to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with a stroke and a cerebral blood vessel ruptured. He is currently being rescued in the hospital."

The joy of just signing the bill was washed away in an instant. Since Liang Shuai's accident, although Liang Hongchang's temperament has changed a lot, he is still conscientious and responsible for his work.

He is 60 years old this year, and he was almost ready to retire.This is Yuan Xia's plan. If he volunteers to retire, he will not force him to stay. If he does not retire, he will continue to work for another two years and let Ni Kuan train for another two years.

But he really didn't expect Liang Hongchang to fall ill at this time, he asked: "Is it serious?"

Ni Kuan said: "He's not in the ICU, but he's still conscious. I don't know if it's serious or not. He needs to be hospitalized for observation."

Yuan Xia licked her dry lips: "I'll go back right away. The company's affairs will be handled by you first."

Liang Hongchang fell ill, and at this juncture, once Yu Xing was locked up in the school and unable to get out, the management company could only rely on Ni Kuan.

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Xia said to Tao Yang: "President Liang is hospitalized, we have to go back quickly. See if you can change tomorrow's flight to today."

Tao Yang said, "Okay, I'll call and ask right away."

Wu Zhiyuan asked: "What's wrong with Mr. Liang?"

Yuan Xia frowned: "Stroke, cerebral hemorrhage. Does President Liang have high blood pressure? The company organizes physical examinations every year. If he has high blood pressure, he should take antihypertensive drugs."

Wu Zhiyuan shook his head: "I'm not sure."

After Tao Yang made the call, he said that tonight's flight has vacant seats and can be changed.

Yuan Xia said: "You and I go back first, Zhiyuan, Xiaosun, will you go with us, or come back tomorrow?"

Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly said, "Let's go together too."

So that night, several people returned to Yuecheng, and it was already early morning when they arrived in Yuecheng.They drove back the car parked in the parking lot when they came, and Yuan Xia asked Tao Yang to take herself home first, and then asked him to drive the car back to the company.

After Yuan Xia returned home, he went to take a shower, Yu Xingyi was not at home, the house was terribly deserted.He was about to go to bed when his cell phone rang, and it was Yu Xingyi who called: "Are you home?"

"Well. I just arrived not long ago. How is Mr. Liang doing?" After traveling all day, hearing his voice at this moment felt like the sound of nature, and all the fatigue was swept away.

Yu Xingyi said: "I called Mrs. Liang's wife in the evening, and she said that it hasn't deteriorated, and it's still the same. I can't get out of bed, can't speak clearly, and I'm awake. It's similar to my mother's illness at the time."

Yuan Xia threw the towel aside and lay on the bed: "How could you have a stroke when you're fine? Mr. Liang doesn't know he has high blood pressure?"

Yu Xingyi said: "I heard from Mr. Liang's wife that Liang Shuai came home last night, and the father and son had a quarrel because of some things. Mr. Liang was very angry, and he fell ill when he got up this morning. This is a debt collection Ghost."

Yu Xingyi seldom commented on others, so it was obvious that he was very angry.

Yuan Xia sighed and said, "This is not debt collection, it's life-threatening."

Liang Shuai was released after serving three years in prison last year. With a criminal record, it is inconvenient to find a job.

Liang Hongchang opened an Internet cafe for him. Opening an Internet cafe is quite profitable these days, but the investment is also a lot. A computer is about [-] yuan, as well as stores, decorations, etc. The minimum investment to open an Internet cafe is hundreds of thousands.Liang Shuai only needs to sit in the Internet cafe and collect the money, isn't that satisfying?

Yu Xingyi said, "Are you going to the hospital to see him tomorrow?"

"Ah."

"Will it be unsafe? Now that SARS is so serious." Yu Xing was not without worries.

"There are currently no cases in our city, and the fever clinic should be separated separately. He is in the Department of Neurology, and he is in the inpatient department. It shouldn't matter. I will wear a mask." Yuan Xia said.

Yu Xingyi said: "Mr. Liang is also suffering from illness at this time. If you don't visit him, it will make him feel cold again. Go visit, and those who visit the sick will also have bumps in their hearts."

Yuan Xia sighed: "Yes. Don't worry, I will pay attention. Good night!"
