Chapter 94: Both

The situation in the next week was still stable for Ningling. In addition to the five suspected cases that have been found, which were diagnosed with SARS patients, two more suspected cases were sent to infectious disease hospitals, and dozens of people were isolated and observed, but none of these people showed fever symptoms, which made Ningling breathe a sigh of relief.

The epidemic in Yongliang continued to show a surge. In addition to the ten patients sent in the early stage, eight cases were sent in the later stage, which also increased the pressure on Ningling Infectious Disease Hospital. Fortunately, all the facilities, materials and medical staff in the province were also in place, ensuring the normal operation of Ningling Infectious Disease Hospital.

After seeing off Dong Mingtang, the general manager of the visiting Guodian Group, Zhao Guodong was in a heavy mood.

After the outbreak in many provinces, the epidemic in Beijing finally occurred. It seemed that it was a few days later than the outbreak in my memory. However, it showed an explosive spread as soon as it appeared. Many famous hospitals such as Dongzhimen Hospital, 301 Hospital, and People's Hospital have successively admitted suspected patients, and the epidemic in Beijing suddenly became urgent.

Although I have taken various measures through various channels and exerted various influences, it has not been able to affect the general trend of this SARS epidemic, and there is still an epidemic in the capital.

In fact, he also knew that he did not have the ability to change such things. Even national leaders could not change the emergence of the epidemic. The only thing that could be changed is the degree of attention and awareness of the epidemic.

Now it is obvious that everything he has done has played a certain role. At least the news came from Nanyue that medical staff in Nanyue did not have the large-scale infection as they remembered, which made Zhao Guodong feel quite pleased.

In December last year, Zhao Guodong reminded Zhao Changchuan that there was an influenza-like epidemic disease in Guangdong and asked Canglang Pharmaceutical to strengthen the production of preventive drugs. Zhao Changchuan also learned about this situation from Zhao Yunhai, so he arranged for the Pennsylvania Pharmaceutical Factory, which mainly produces ordinary Chinese patent medicines, to increase the production and reserve of isatis root powder. After the outbreak, he took the initiative to donate three million isatis root powder to Nanyue Province, which also won an excellent reputation for Canglang Pharmaceutical.

When the epidemic occurred in all provinces, including Anyuan, Canglang Group issued another statement, and Canglang Pharmaceutical donated 8 million yuan worth of isatis root powder to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention of the Ministry of Health, which made Canglang Pharmaceutical's reputation reach its peak in the industry, and other pharmaceutical companies followed suit and took the initiative to donate money and medicine.

This atmosphere has been fully created, and the rest depends on how local governments respond.

The situation in Ningling is quite stable. The party committees and governments at the municipal, county and district levels firmly control the situation. All relevant departments have made every effort to make responses and have increased publicity efforts. In particular, Zhao Guodong's statement that all suspected and confirmed SARS patients are responsible for the treatment costs, which has also been widely publicized and played a huge role.

Many fever patients took the initiative to go to the hospital for isolation and observation. Although most of them were excluded after observation, the remaining two suspected SARS cases were quickly isolated and sent to infectious disease hospitals and were quickly diagnosed.

It is precisely such powerful measures that the possibility of SARS patients' external infection was minimized, so that no suspected cases were found in the following days.

Zhong Yuejun went to Beijing to attend the 10th People's Congress, but history is still operating according to the established track, and perhaps the direction has been slightly deviated.

News from the province said that at the Standing Committee, Ying Dongliu was very angry and severely criticized the various ineffective situations shown in the fight against SARS in various places. He asked the Provincial Supervision Department and the Provincial Party Committee Inspection Office to form a joint supervision group and immediately go to various places to inspect the work urged to fight against SARS. If the work is not effective, he should decisively ask the local party committee and government to suspend his post. If the work is not effective, he should immediately report to the provincial party committee and government, and the provincial party committee will handle it.

The province's anti-SARS work has quickly improved to a strategic level. Ningling still followed the established working procedures at this time. The preliminary preparations helped a lot, which made Ningling not have to be in a hurry at this time. Instead, Zhong Yuejun went to Beijing, and Zhao Guodong also needed to go to Jiangdong New Area and Development Zone from time to time to check it out.

Several major projects introduced last year have entered the full construction stage. The civil engineering project of the two polysilicon projects of Semiconductor and NSG Group has been progressing very quickly and has been basically completed. It is about to enter the equipment installation and commissioning stage; Fenghua Silicon Industry, which was jointly funded by Handen International and Defengjie Venture Capital and Zhejiang merchants, also broke ground before the Spring Festival and is now in full swing. The construction of the three major silicon industry companies Ningling Economic and Technological Development Zone has started, which has made the development zone famous and is known as a star city in the mainland's new energy industry, and is even called Silicon City by the industry.

Guanghua Group's circulating fluidized bed boiler manufacturing project is also settled in the Lingang New District in Xijiang District, close to the German sole proprietorship of Neodi Dust Removal Equipment Co., Ltd. This is also a requirement for Guanghua Group to settle in the Lingang New District, that is, to live with their long-term technical partners so that they will cooperate on many technical projects in the future.

This request also ruined the Lingang New District Management Committee, because the land around Neodi has basically been obtained by other companies, and it is really difficult to convince other companies to give up a large enough piece of land.

Liu Ruhuai also tried his best to coordinate the matter. The Xijiang District Government also gave some compensation to the other three companies that agreed to exchange land for this purpose. However, in order to obtain this large project with an investment of more than 200 million yuan, Xijiang District still felt it was worth it.

Fengting’s Zhuyou Environmental Protection Materials Co., Ltd. has also been completed and has entered the trial production stage. The Ministry of Construction, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and other ministries have passed the quality assessment of this building material and issued an opinion letter.

This kind of building material not only has good sound insulation, earthquake resistance and energy-saving effects, but more importantly, its cost is much cheaper than that of the same type of wooden building material. Bamboo is a fast-growing resource. Promoting the use of this building material can greatly reduce the consumption of wood and is a typical environmentally friendly building material.

Since Professor Xiao Hua is also a visiting professor at the University of California, and has a very good reputation in the civil and building materials industry at home and abroad, many building materials manufacturers in Europe and the United States have shown interest in using bamboo to become new building materials that can be used to build buildings and bridges below four floors.

What makes Zhao Guodong most happy is that with the strong recommendation of Jia Pingyuan, the new district mayor of Xijiang District, Niodi Dust Removal Equipment Co., Ltd. actually agreed to use its products for its expanded office area and R&D center construction pilot project, which made Zhuyou Environmental Protection Building Materials Co., Ltd. overjoyed. Being able to be the first to use it in a well-known foreign-funded enterprise in the industry will undoubtedly play a good advertising demonstration role in the promotion of this enterprise's product.

Zhao Guodong also proposed at the city-wide industrial work conference that the city's administrative units and enterprises should consider promoting the use of such environmentally friendly building materials when conditions permit, especially low-rise buildings and smaller bridges, so as to establish a good atmosphere for promoting the use of environmentally friendly building materials in the city.

The construction of the 30,000 mu high-quality green potato production base in Tucheng has also officially started, and the area is planned to be expanded to 50,000 mu next year. At the same time, the puffed food production project of Fujian Dali Group has also settled in Tucheng. This is the largest foreign investment that Tucheng has introduced in so many years, and this will further strengthen Ningling's food industry strength.

Ningling's economic development showed a stable and rapid phenomenon, and was almost never affected by the SARS attack.

Even in Ningling, there were several SARS patients, but the government has well controlled and guided social emotions, attaching importance to prevention and blocking, and not over-indulging. Whether it is the large number of under-construction enterprises in the development zone, the road infrastructure construction fully launched by Jiangdong New Area, or the use of the main line bridge that is being fully built during the dry period, it has not been affected.

Even the guests from Impression Innovation Art Development Co., Ltd. from Beijing did not realize that Ningling was also an epidemic area. They were completely intoxicated by Ningling's rich historical and cultural charm, which was what Zhao Guodong was most happy to see.

When the outside world is changing, he hopes that Ningling will not be disturbed by unnecessary interference, but will focus on doing his own things well.

Although the situation in Ningling is quite calm, the situation in other cities in the province is not optimistic. After March, almost all cities and cities have found suspected cases or confirmed cases. Although the number of people varies, this has also caused panic among the masses to a certain extent. Fortunately, the provincial party committee and government intervened decisively and timely, and the public's emotions gradually returned to normal.

The central government has also realized the seriousness of the problem, especially the spread of the explosive epidemic in Beijing has greatly shocked the central leaders. Many medical staff were infected and even died, which seems to be more serious than in Guangdong. This has prompted the central government to take decisive measures to implement strict epidemic monitoring systems in Beijing, and also began to report the epidemic situation to the outside world regularly. At this time, the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and the 10th National People's Congress had just opened, so it was not easy to make such a determination.
