Rebirth of science and technology to rejuvenate the country

2019 was the first year that Xingyuan's turnover exceeded 1149 billion yuan, reaching 34.8 billion yuan, an increase of [-]% over the previous year.

It once again ranked first in the national engineering industry, and even squeezed out the No.4 Hitachi in the world, second only to Caterpillar, Komatsu and John Deere.

This achievement is certainly gratifying, but Yuan Xia is a little unhappy, because the new crown epidemic is coming soon, and the carefree days will be gone forever. I don't know when it will go away.

In order to minimize the impact of the epidemic, Xingyuan had a very late holiday this year. In the name of catching up with the goods, everyone was allowed to work overtime until the last two days of the year. The holiday was only given on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. This made many colleagues dissatisfied. scolding.

By mid-January, news of a highly contagious new coronavirus had begun to spread in Wuhan, which was transmitted through the respiratory tract.

In the company group, Yuan Xia advised employees from Hubei, especially Wuhan, to celebrate the New Year on the spot this year, even if they are going back to their hometown, they should not stop in Wuhan for transit.

When Yu Xing asked Yuan Xia where he planned to celebrate the New Year, Yuan Xia said, "I won't go anywhere this year, just spend the New Year at home."

Chongyang learned that his elder brother was not going to travel and planned to take his wife and children to France for the New Year, Yuan Xia advised him: "Don't go to France this year, and ask your parents-in-law to come to China for the New Year." He was worried that they would not come back after going out, Moreover, foreign epidemics will break out soon. With the loose personality of Westerners, the chance of being infected is too high.

After discussing with Emma, ​​Chongyang felt that it was quite suitable, so he invited Emma's parents to come to China to celebrate the New Year.

Emma's parents arrived in Beijing on January 1, and Chongyang plans to leave for Yuecheng on January 22.

At 23 o'clock in the morning on the 2rd, Wuhan issued a city closure notice, blocking all exits from Wuhan. The whole country was in an uproar, and began to track people from Wuhan and even Hubei across the country.

Yuan Xia called Chongyang: "The situation is more serious than expected. Don't come back to celebrate the New Year this year. Just spend the New Year in Beijing. Buy enough supplies, prepare masks, alcohol and disinfectant, and minimize the number of times you go out."

As early as when there were signs of new crown pneumonia in Wuhan, Yuan Xia had already told his younger brothers and sisters to make them spare supplies such as masks and alcohol.They have all experienced SARS in 2003, know the horror of respiratory infectious diseases, and have already made preparations.

Yuan Xia also called Qu Yuan, who was in the United States, and asked her to prepare a mask and alcohol, and remember to wear a mask when going out.

Qu Yuan said: "Uncle, there is no new crown pneumonia in the United States yet, and our side is mainly flu."

Yuan Xia said: "It's hard to say where the source of the epidemic is. Even if it's the flu, you have to take extra precautions. There's nothing wrong with being careful."

Qu Yuan said, "Okay."

Xingyuan officially had a holiday on the day that Wuhan was closed. Many colleagues from Hubei received the news and gave up the idea of ​​returning to their hometown.Looking back and thinking about what Yuan Xia said to persuade everyone in the company group, some people couldn't help but lament that Yuan Xia was so predictable.

The second day after the city was closed was New Year's Eve. Yuan Xia called all his relatives and friends, and this year he cooperated with the epidemic prevention policy and did not visit each other or visit each other.

In a city in Wuhan, masks in online stores, pharmacies, and supermarkets have become hot items. Many stores have sold out their stocks.

It is even more difficult to find a mask in Wuhan, and the whole country is a little panicked. Coupled with the dissemination and exaggeration of the network channels, this year has not been steadfast.

Yuanxia called the director of the medical supplies factory immediately after the city was closed in Wuhan: "All masks and protective clothing are stopped for sale, and the inventory list is sorted out and sent to me. The products are first donated to the departments in urgent need. The emergency call can The recalled workers come back to work overtime, and their wages will be tripled during the holiday. Be sure to pay attention to whether the workers are in close or sub-close contact. The factory must take good epidemic prevention measures at the source to prevent source pollution.”

Although there is no large-scale epidemic in Yuecheng for the time being, it is also investigating people who came from Wuhan or Hubei to prevent the spread of the epidemic caused by positive patients.

Now that the company and the factory are on holiday, it is not easy to summon workers to work overtime temporarily, and the factory leaders need to call one by one.

Yuan Xia gathered the employees who stayed on duty in the company and factories, and even family members, and prepared to donate masks and protective clothing to hospitals, government agencies, transportation departments, and public security systems in Wuhan and Yuecheng.

When Yuan Xia was arranging these things here, he received a call from the city government and found that Yuan Xia was already arranging donations. The city leaders were very pleased, and quickly provided the list according to Yuan Xia's request, and arranged for vehicles to come to carry the supplies.

On the first day of the first lunar month, Yuanxia arranged vehicles loaded with tens of millions of medical masks, millions of protective suits, and thousands of ventilators and oxygen concentrators to be sent to Wuhan.

In addition to the vehicles rented from the freight company, some of the vehicles responsible for transporting the masks were employees of Xingyuan, who drove Xingyuan’s own dump trucks, and even sent more than ten disinfection vehicles.

These were all donated by Xingyuan to Wuhan, with a total value of more than 6000 million yuan, and the value of donations from Yuecheng and other cities in the province also exceeded [-] million yuan.

At this moment, Chinese people from all over the country and even around the world are trying their best to collect masks, protective clothing, etc. and send them to Wuhan. Vegetables, meat, eggs, milk, and donations from all over the country are also continuously gathering in Wuhan. The Chinese people are united and united. Cheer for the victory over COVID-[-].

Qu Yuan and her boyfriend, who are far away in the United States, also managed to buy tens of thousands of N95 masks and mail them to Wuhan from the United States.

This time, Yuan Xia did not go to the front line of disaster relief in person. He is over fifty years old. Although he insists on exercising and pays attention to health preservation, he is not as healthy and vigorous as young people, so he can only sit in the rear and command.

After the drivers who supported Wuhan returned to Yuecheng, all the hotel quarantine expenses were traveled far away.

Yuan Xia's family has been extremely busy this year, and they didn't prepare well for the New Year's Eve dinner. In order to save cooking time, they simply ate hot pot and ate it with Yuan Qiu's family.Yuandong, Yuanchun and Chongyang didn't go home for the New Year, and Yuanxia persuaded them to celebrate the New Year there.

When Yu Xingyi and Yuan Xia were busy donating together, he suddenly said, "I have an idea, I don't know if it's right."

Yuan Xia looked up at him: "What do you think?"

Yu Xingyi said, "Do you have the ability to predict?"

Yuan Xia was taken aback, then smiled: "Why do you think so?"

Yu Xingyi said: "If not, why did you suddenly buy a mask factory and a medical device factory? This has nothing to do with our business. And the previous performance was not good, but you didn't reduce production and accumulated so much inventory. I just caught up with the new crown pneumonia, and it happened to come in handy, so I couldn't help thinking about it."

Yuan Xia said: "I want to say it's a coincidence, do you believe it?"

Yu Xing spread his hands: "Besides a coincidence, there is no other reason to explain it. But why is it such a coincidence? Do you really have superpowers?"

Yuan Xia just smiled and said nothing.He also considered whether to tell him about the past, but he thought of Yu Xingyi's untimely death, and he was alone all his life. , How uncomfortable he was, it was enough for him to suffer through the past, and he didn't want Yu Xingyi to suffer too.

The inventories of the two factories of medical equipment and medical supplies have basically never been sold, and they have all been donated. The bosses of the two factories are in great pain. Now a non-medical mask on the market is sold for three or four yuan each. It's just letting money go.

It doesn’t matter to Yuan Xia. Now the priority is to win the war against the epidemic in Wuhan and restore the domestic order to normal. Only when the epidemic is under control can the production capacity be restored. Is it not easy to make money?

After the new year, the school failed to start as scheduled, and the factory failed to start work as scheduled.

Schools cannot reopen, and online classes are still available. Some companies can also work from home, but manufacturing-based factories have no choice but to be present.For this reason, the factory had to find a way to pick up the workers back to work.

Although it is very troublesome and costly, it is better than stopping work and failing to deliver on time.

In the past two years, Xingyuan has received a steady stream of orders, and if one day's work is delayed, it is very likely that the delivery deadline will be delayed.

Originally, it was time to resume work on February 2, but due to the epidemic, the employees did not arrive until February 3.

After entering the factory, a closed approach is basically adopted for management. Employees live in the factory and never go out. They must insist on disinfecting and measuring their body temperature every day.

This continued until March. Except for Hubei, the positive cases in other provinces were basically cleared up, and then the control was gradually relaxed.However, it has become the norm to wear masks when going out and measure body temperature when entering indoor public places.

At this time, the epidemics in Europe and the United States also broke out, and the epidemics in Spain and Italy were particularly serious. The United States, Britain, France and Germany were not much better.

When Wuhan was closed, many countries took measures to evacuate their overseas Chinese.Chongyang's parents-in-law also wanted to take their daughter's family back to France for refuge, but they were dissuaded by Yuanxia, ​​who said that they had to believe in our country's execution, and the epidemic would be brought under control soon.

Now it seems that what Yuanxia said is not unreasonable. It took more than a month in China, and the people of the whole country consciously stayed at home and did not go out, and the epidemic situation was gradually brought under control.

European and American countries are out of control, and the number of confirmed cases and deaths are increasing sharply every day.

Chongyang's parents-in-law watched the news every day, and they didn't bother to return home anymore.After all, many people in France are opposed to wearing masks, and they are still marching in the streets, so it is difficult to guarantee that they will be accidentally infected.

On April 4, Wuhan was unblocked, and the people of Wuhan who had been trapped for more than two months were finally freed.The people of the whole country also breathed a sigh of relief. This battle against the epidemic has been fought very hard.

It's just that when we won the war, the rest of the world fell.The epidemic is one wave after another, and the new coronavirus mutation is even more tricky. Apart from China, there is no other country in the world that can clear the virus.

The former situation of freely coming and going has become a fond memory in my memory. Now when I go abroad, I have to face the risk of being infected, and when I return home, I have to face high ticket prices, cumbersome testing procedures, and 14 days of hotel quarantine. The 7-day home quarantine is expensive.

Since then, anti-epidemic has become the norm.

Yuan Xia doesn't know how long the new crown epidemic will last. As far as he knows, it will not disappear completely in a short period of time like SARS. Even if China can be cleared, the western countries that regard "freedom" as more important than life have already Impossible to reset.

When the virus will disappear, even Yuan Xia doesn't know now.It may take two or three years, or longer, or simply wait for the virus to mutate until it becomes less pathogenic and, like the flu virus, can coexist with humans.

After the unblocking of Wuhan, Chinese people's work and life gradually returned to normal, and schools started to open one after another.

It's just that there is always a string in people's hearts, and they dare not relax completely, for fear that if they are not careful, the invisible and intangible virus will come back again.

The Chinese economy was almost shut down in February due to the whole people fighting the epidemic at home. As the epidemic eased, the economy gradually recovered.

However, the economies of European and American countries have almost stagnated due to the epidemic, and the demand for Chinese goods has greatly increased, which has greatly stimulated the growth of the Chinese economy.

The sales volume of Xingyuan has not decreased due to the outbreak of the epidemic. On the contrary, the sales volume is better than that of the previous year, and even the sales volume in overseas markets is even better.

Only due to the impact of the epidemic, the branches in Germany and India have also been greatly affected, and work was once suspended due to worker infection.Therefore, the production capacity depends entirely on domestic factories, and the head office and Shanghai branch factories have to work overtime at full capacity to ensure supply.

When the European epidemic was tense, Yuanxia prepared a batch of medical supplies from China and sent them to the German branch, and also donated a batch of supplies to hospitals in Bonn and Bochum, hoping that the German people can overcome the virus as soon as possible.

After the domestic clearing, the demand for medical supplies has dropped significantly, while the demand abroad has surged.

The medical supplies factory under Xingyuan began to export masks, protective clothing and ventilators overseas. The orders from various countries were so large that the production capacity could not keep up. Every day, agent customers were waiting at the factory to ship.

The directors of these two branch factories even made a report and applied to the head office to expand the scale and increase the production line.

After reading the report, Yuan Xia approved a ventilator production line, but let alone the mask production line.

BYD is already producing masks. In the near future, China's mask production capacity will be oversupplied, and the masks that sell for a few yuan now will return to their proper price.
