This country with such a glorious history is on the verge of extinction in the face of a tiny virus. At the same time, it has been abandoned by other countries around the world. All flights and land and waterways have been blocked by fully armed troops. Some neighboring countries have even tried to use various means to influence the direction of the monsoon to prevent the virus-carrying winds from blowing from the British Isles.
Because the British royal palace and government cabinet are concentrated in London, the epicenter of the epidemic, even though the head of government ordered that their own escape routes be blocked, they could not stop their fear. The small amount of special medicine provided by Minhong could only protect the lives of important figures. They wanted more, so they took an unprecedented series of measures, either to appease or to threaten, and even mentioned nuclear weapons during state negotiations, with the aim of making China submit and forcing Minhong to provide assistance.
Since I'm going to die anyway, let's all die together!
The worst aspects of human nature are uglyly revealed in the face of crisis. Even a country is controlled by people, and the worst thing is that the outbreak occurred in London.
The opposition has already taken control of a portion of the army, and the vast majority of the forces under martial law in the suburbs of London are controlled by the opposition, with the aim of "preserving hope for Britain."
If their status and position had improved, London might already be engulfed in incendiary bombs.
Meanwhile, Ajaccio, located in France, had been secretly turned into a ghost town by a rapidly decomposing poison. This poison, which was added to the food and drinks, was invisible and colorless, and thus claimed the lives of more than 50,000 Ajaccio residents and tourists.
Experiments have shown that the virus can survive in corpses for 36 hours, which may explain the massacre in Ajaccio.
Of course, the official conclusion was that the consequences were caused by the virus carried by tourists from China and French citizens, thus whitewashing the ugly truth.
Faced with an existential crisis, Western countries, which have always touted human rights, freedom, and benevolence, can be far more ruthless than the Chinese government they criticize!
Since China is the source of this global pandemic, the international community has made a lot of noise about it. However, apart from major powers like the UK making a lot of noise, the usually outspoken governments of the United States and France have been very low-key about it, to the point that they have never made any official statements. They have never condemned or criticized the Chinese government for its responsibility in this matter, on the grounds that the Chinese government responded promptly and handled the situation properly and effectively controlled the spread of the epidemic within China.
The real reason was that, due to the existence of the Minhong (a type of terrorist organization), the US government demanded a large stockpile of medicines to cope with a potential future epidemic. During negotiations, the French government was sharply accused by the Chinese government of deliberately massacring civilians to protect the rights of its cabinet members. They too had to swallow this bitter pill.
...
"Sir, I am willing to share my experience in the media to clear Minhong Pharmaceutical's name."
Wang Tao mimicked how Yi Zuojun and the others addressed Lin Yao, looking at Lin Yao with gratitude and determination, his whole body trembling slightly with extreme nervousness.
“This…” Lin Yao nodded, “Actually, it’s alright. The hardship is over. Find a job and work hard so your parents can have a better life in the future. We can handle Minhong’s matter. The government has also given us strong support, and the local military is providing full support. So don’t worry about it…”
"Sir, this is different!"
Wang Tao gritted his teeth and bravely met Lin Yao's gaze. "The official tough stance and Min Hong's threatening approach are not the best strategies. I can do something to make up for some of the shortcomings."
"Oh?" Lin Yao became interested.
Previously, Yi Zuojun reported that Wang Tao from Shantang County had come to his villa in Beijing to request a meeting. Lin Yao thought that the other party wanted to express his gratitude in person, and since he happened to be free, he agreed to the meeting.
Originally, Wang Tao intended to encourage this young man who had suffered so much and provide him with some financial and material assistance. It was also a way to do his part for the two poor elderly people. However, he did not expect that Wang Tao's intentions were not so simple, and he immediately had a better impression of the young man.
"Sir, I studied human resources. Although I haven't found a formal job to gain practical experience since graduation, my grades at school were quite good. My professor recommended me for postgraduate studies and promised that I could also pursue a doctorate at my alma mater. So I have the knowledge in this area."
"Human resources emphasizes making the most of each employee's strengths, fully unleashing everyone's potential through the rational use of talent, and achieving the best results by working together to reach our goals and maximize resource utilization."
Wang Tao first gave a brief explanation of his area of expertise. Seeing that Lin Yao remained unmoved, he felt a sense of unease. He thought to himself that he might have taken up too much of Lin Yao's time, so he had to get straight to the point and quickly explain his plan.
“Sir, this is my idea…” Wang Tao quickly took out the paper and pen he had prepared and sketched the drawing on the paper with a pen.
“Minhong’s production capacity is limited now, which will inevitably cause panic among non-members across the country. This panic is difficult to suppress by the government and the military alone, because the largest number of people in any city are the masses. As long as some people take the lead, the number of people who are incited will be astronomical. We have absolutely no ability to truly suppress this force.”
"After all, our army can't just sweep through with machine guns. Once the riots start, they could easily get out of control."
Lin Yao nodded. He had also considered this situation, but had no good solution.
In his original plan, Lin Yao intended to use Xiaocao's abilities to stake out various cities one by one and deal with the incidents of gathering crowds to cause trouble with swift and decisive measures. The method he would use was, of course, to make an example of them, ensuring that the ringleaders and some of the most disruptive individuals would die quickly. Then, he would transmit this signal to the whole country through the internet, using a wide range of netizens to publicize the consequences of violating the rules and resisting the people's will.
At this moment, after calming down and analyzing the situation, combined with Wang Tao's very certain expression and the recent behavior and attitudes of Britain, France, and the United States, the answer became obvious.
Faced with life and death, all difficulties and threats are paper tigers. Even the combination of Lin Yao and Xiao Cao is no exception. After all, they cannot be in thousands of locations across the country at the same time. Once a large-scale riot breaks out in one place, it will spread to the whole country as quickly as the chain reaction of an atomic bomb.
Having gained Lin Yao's approval, Wang Tao became more energized. His face flushed, and he spoke much faster.
"Sir, from my professional perspective, the best approach is to find resources capable of addressing this potential threat, requiring not only government and military support but also the broadest possible public support!"
"Only when the numbers are evenly matched or even far greater than the other side can a real deterrent effect be achieved, so that all those who have opposing intentions know the answer before they even have the thought of going all out. They will be unable to achieve their goals through illegal means, and in this way, stability and order can be maintained."
"Great!" Lin Yao's eyes lit up. "What are you planning to do? What kind of cooperation and support do you need from me and Min Hong?"
"Thank you, sir!"
Wang Tao bowed respectfully, clearly overjoyed. "First of all, by publicizing my family's ordeal in the media, I garnered sympathy and support from the entire society, and also made them hate Xiao Weiyan and his group because of my experience."
"With this shared sense of tragedy and sympathy, the sudden illness and death of Xiao Weiyan and others became less abrupt. No matter what people say online that Min Hong was behind it, everyone will only applaud and not blame Min Hong. In this way, we are in a good position and have a good image, which can reduce the fear and rejection of Min Hong by the people of the whole country."
"Then, I organized some members of the Minhong Association in Shantang County to serve as volunteers and consciously maintain the order of the entire county, especially the safety and order of the Minhong Hospital. This kind of non-governmental organization operates and is managed in accordance with the rules of a formal social organization. Of course, it also requires Mr. to provide some material and financial assistance. Even with the government and the military, Mr. needs to negotiate and communicate with them so that the organization can develop better and more smoothly."
"In my plan, the volunteer organization of Minhong members will not be entirely free work or maintaining order. After all, this work is risky. So I plan to use a virtual reward system that Minhong will recognize to motivate the enthusiasm and initiative of the members. These reward points may be converted into cash and redeemed when purchasing medicine, or they may be a kind of honor. After accumulating a certain number of reward points, one can obtain certain benefits and privileges. Of course, these benefits and privileges are closely related to Minhong Pharmaceutical. I cannot use the old tricks of rewarding people with travel or cars, because at this time, the most valuable thing in the whole society is Minhong's promise, which is related to everyone's lives."
As Lin Yao listened, his eyes grew brighter and brighter, and the gloom that had been building up in his heart disappeared, giving him a sense of exhilaration as if the clouds had parted and the blue sky had appeared.
"Sir, actually... actually..."
Wang Tao suddenly became shy, stammering as if he were squeezing out toothpaste, as if there was only a little bit left.
"What's wrong? Speak your mind." Lin Yao turned his head to look at Wang Tao, his eyes offering encouragement.
Despite receiving encouragement from Lin Yao, Wang Tao still couldn't finish his sentence before being interrupted by a sudden voice.
"Uncle, just say what you have to say! My dad is very busy, so busy that he doesn't even have time to spend with me and my sister Nannan. You can't take up his time!"
Xiao Guli, who was passing by, often liked to stick close to Lin Yao for a while, and then he would leave on his own and not disturb Lin Yao any further.
However, this passing by seemed a bit too frequent, occurring at least dozens of times a day, leaving Lin Yao somewhat amused and exasperated. He couldn't spare the energy to play with the little guy, and could only feel guilty in his heart, just as he would with his girlfriend Xia Yuwen.
"Lili, come here quickly, don't disturb... um... your dad's work." Gu Zhuofei, who was passing by with Xiao Guli, managed to speak coherently, but her face was flushed red.
As if to cover up the awkwardness, Gu Zhuofei tried to change the subject and interjected, "I think this gentleman's plan is very good and very feasible. Those contribution points, oh, that is, reward points, can actually be exchanged for other things."
