Being Reborn And Starting Off By Not Being A Simp-Chapter 237: Emergency Plan (1)

Su Qi’s attention to the epidemic should be said to be the highest among the management of those large enterprises. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

She had her own channels. After the virus was officially isolated, she knew the news and announced it at the meeting.

According to Liu Qing’s meaning, it was proven that the epidemic was caused by the coronavirus, so the emergency plan should be implemented.

But at this time, the plan had yet to be made.

Su Qi no longer discussed the situation before activating the plan. Instead, she requested that the countermeasures be formulated now.

It was no longer a plan, but a measure that was about to be implemented.

A few shareholders even called to ask them to step up their response.

The matter had already alarmed the highest authorities, and they had specially held a meeting to discuss it. The situation could be imagined.

The meeting lasted until nine o’clock at night.

When Su Qi called Liu Qing, her tone was tired and pessimistic."It’s easy to deal with the headquarters of our group. When the time comes, we can work remotely. However, the batch of small and medium-sized enterprises that had been fully invested were scattered all over the country, so it was very difficult to deal with them."

" My suggestion is to try our best to keep those employees here for the New Year," Liu Qing said." Don’t go home." Then, he would stock up on more daily necessities."

"Why?" Su Qi was stunned.

Liu Qing sighed." Based on the current situation, it will probably erupt around the new year." When the time came, there would be another traffic blockade. Those who had returned home for the New Year would not be able to return to the factory, and the factory would not be able to start working. This would be a huge loss. It was better to let them stay in the factory for the new year. It was good for the factory and for them."

As an experienced person, he knew that many people were unable to return to the factory after the spring because of the lockdown. Many factories were also unable to start work.

The most tense time was when work was not allowed and people were not allowed to gather.

Later on, when the epidemic eased, they could start work under the conditions.

However, many factories did not have workers. Those factories with workers did not have enough masks, so they could not meet the requirements to start work. They could only stop production.

It was a loss to the factory and the workers.

It was also a loss for the country.

"Do you think we’ll be short of daily necessities?"Su Qi asked again.

"If it’s a big lockdown, we’ll definitely be short of them in a short period of time."Liu Qing said.

"Oh, I’ll remember it. I’ll discuss it with them tomorrow.""

"Don’t forget to purchase medical supplies overseas. When the time comes, we can donate them to boost our group’s reputation."Liu Qing reminded him.

"Can’t we just donate money?" Su Qi asked.

She was still a little reluctant to purchase medical supplies.

Once the emergency plan of the group’s subordinate companies was made, even if the epidemic did not break out or if the outbreak was not that serious, there would not be too much economic losses.

Their response measures could not be at the highest level at once, and they would be implemented according to the extent of the epidemic.

Allowing the workers of the subordinate enterprises to stay in the factory during the New Year was only a little against the feelings of the workers, but it would not cause much damage to the factory. At most, it would be overtime during the New Year, and the salary would be higher.

There was no need to mention the purchase of daily necessities. There were so many workers there, so it would still be digested.

He just bought a little more in advance.

However, purchasing medical supplies for epidemic prevention would be a complete loss if the epidemic did not break out.

She felt that donating money was more convenient.

If the epidemic did not break out, there was no need to donate at all. There was no such thing as RMB in one’s hands. It could avoid risks.

Frankly speaking, even if she was willing to purchase medical supplies and donate them, the company would not be able to approve it.

Liu Qing shook his head." It’s convenient to donate money, but it’s meaningless." Our group is still relatively poor compared to those big consortiums. Unless we donate a few hundred million, no one will pay attention to it. It won’t improve the image of the group much."

" A few hundred million is impossible," Su Qi said." We can’t take out that much money."

"So we should donate some urgently needed medical supplies."Liu Qing said," And once it breaks out, medical supplies will become very scarce, even global. If we prepare well in advance, not only can we improve our company’s image, but we can also save a few more lives."

Su Qi hesitated,"I can’t convince them.""

Liu Qing could understand her difficulties and said,""My suggestion is that we don’t have to buy first, but we have to leave some money there. We have to choose the items we want to buy in advance and start the price negotiations."

Su Qi thought for a while and said,"That’s fine too.""

Price negotiations could be long or short.

If it was long, they could even negotiate for a few years. In the end, it was not a problem if they did not close the deal.

This was a good way to stall for time.

If the epidemic didn’t break out, they wouldn’t have to pay the money.

With the outbreak of the epidemic, it was not a big loss to buy them before the market had time to react.

According to Liu Qing’s memory, when everyone in the country was nervous, the foreign countries did not take it too seriously. Even the market did not fluctuate much in the first few days.

Later on, the prices of various medical supplies skyrocketed, which was caused by the sudden increase in domestic purchases.

At that time, those who had overseas channels would purchase them one after another.

The overseas students and Chinese citizens also went around to buy goods and send them back to China.

It would not cost too much to prepare earlier.

In the end, they had to pay several times or even more than ten times the price to get it.

As for the types of supplies to be purchased, Liu Qing could not make any more suggestions. They were nothing more than consumables such as a breathing machine, protective clothing, goggles, and gloves.

The Tian Yuan Corporation had more funds at their disposal, so they could purchase more expensive breathing machines.

As for what to purchase, it would depend on the discussion with the Tian Yuan Corporation.

Liu Qing’s suggestion was to purchase protective equipment.

In his memory, those supplies were very scarce. Many medical staff were in danger because of insufficient protection. At that time, the people of the country felt unusually worried and even angry.

If he could solve that problem, or alleviate that problem, the improvement of the company’s image would obviously be greater.

He half-jokingly said to Su Qi,

"I have some friends who listened to my suggestion a while ago and have already purchased some medical supplies for epidemic prevention overseas. The goods have already arrived and are in the warehouse of my mask factory. If you can’t buy it in a hurry, you can add some money and buy it directly from them. I think they should be happy."

Those second-generation children had been ordered last month. Some had already arrived, and some were still on the way. Basically, they could arrive before the outbreak.

Their combined purchases were quite large, enough for the Tian Yuan Corporation to boost its reputation.

This was a win-win situation.

"I’ll consider this," said Su Qi."
