Take measures
Qiao Jianmin changed the subject, "However, network security and public opinion monitoring must keep up. On your end, continue operations according to the original plan and maintain normal sales. Customer service should respond with the same message: we're directly operated by a private farm with limited production. Buy if you want."
"Yes!" Xiao Zhao replied. Director Qiao's "buy it if you want" instruction was quite Miss Minutes' style.
"In addition," Qiao Jianmin added, "the backend work of screening customer information needs to be more thorough. For those buyers who excessively discuss information on public platforms and attempt to dig deep for information, the purchase quantity will be temporarily restricted.
Orders will not be accepted from those who are not Chinese citizens, this is the key point!"
"clear!"
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Jianmin leaned back in his chair and rubbed his eyebrows.
Vegetables that cost 600 yuan per kilogram have become a hit online... What kind of thing is this?
What Qiao Jianmin is more worried about is that online stores can restrict purchases and screen customers, but this only applies to online channels.
What if someone obtains these vegetables through other channels, such as purchasing on behalf of others or through offline transactions, and manages to bring them out of the country?
The value of the "YX Factor" is enough for any country or organization to obtain it at all costs. Once it leaks out of China and is studied and exploited by hostile forces, it will be a huge threat to the core interests of the country.
Qiao Jianmin suddenly opened his eyes, a fierce look flashing in them. He picked up the encrypted phone on the table and called Zhou Zhenguo.
"Old Zhou, there is an emergency and we need to report it to the chief immediately." Qiao Jianmin's voice was solemn.
Half an hour later, in a top-secret conference room in the Central Building, Qiao Jianmin, Zhou Zhenguo, and the old man sat around a round table.
The walls of the conference room are made of special sound-absorbing material, so no sound can leak out.
Qiao Jianmin first used an encrypted tablet to display the unexpected popularity of the "delicious vegetable store" on the Taobei platform and the direction of online public opinion.
"This is the situation," Qiao Jianmin turned off the tablet and looked at the old man, "Although we have restricted non-Chinese citizens from purchasing, this is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.
The characteristics of this vegetable determine its strategic value, and we cannot prevent those with ulterior motives from obtaining it through other channels and trying to take it out of the country."
He paused, his tone more resolute: "I suggest that we must take more proactive and thorough preventive measures to prevent the illegal outflow of vegetables to the greatest extent possible."
The old man nodded slightly, indicating him to continue.
"In the field of quantum biology, our country has recently successfully developed a new type of 'high-frequency bio-energy detector'.
This detector was originally designed to detect certain special biological variants and extremely small amounts of radiation and is currently in the laboratory testing stage.
But its core technology is the ultra-sensitive capture of specific high-level life energy fluctuations."
Zhou Zhenguo listened, his brows raised slightly. He knew this technology; it was a breakthrough achieved by the nation at great expense and over a decade, originally intended to be the cornerstone of a future biological defense system.
"Preliminary test results show that the energy fluctuations contained in the 'YX factor' are highly consistent with the wavelengths that this detector can detect."
Qiao Jianmin said excitedly, "It has such high sensitivity that even trace amounts of 'YX factor' in vegetables can be accurately identified."
"You mean..." the old man finally spoke in a steady and powerful voice, "to deploy these detectors at all entry and exit ports?"
"Yes, Commander!" Qiao Jianmin replied firmly, "All major airports, ports, land ports, and even international mail and freight centers must be equipped with these detectors immediately.
All outbound agricultural products, biological samples, and even luggage carried by passengers are screened seamlessly and efficiently.
Once a fluctuation in the 'YX Factor' is detected, the highest level of interception procedures will be immediately initiated."
Zhou Zhenguo took over the conversation and added: "We are the only ones who have mastered this technology, which can achieve exclusive identification of the 'YX factor'.
We can package this as a 'new agricultural product quarantine system' or 'biosafety upgrade measures' in external publicity to avoid causing unnecessary panic and speculation."
The old man fell into deep thought. Deploying such cutting-edge equipment would be extremely expensive and require huge manpower and material resources for maintenance and operation.
More importantly, it means that the country has adopted the highest level of protection measures for Zhong Ling's "vegetables", which is almost equivalent to listing it as the highest strategic resource.
"How long will it take to deploy this technology?" the old man asked.
"The first batch of detectors have completed laboratory testing and can be miniaturized and mass-produced immediately. It is expected that they will cover major ports in the shortest possible time."
Qiao Jianmin was confident. "We will set up a dedicated action team to be responsible for equipment deployment, commissioning, operator training, and subsequent maintenance and data analysis."
The old man slowly stood up, walked to the map in the conference room, and his eyes fell on the border of China.
"Alright," he finally said, his voice filled with unquestionable determination. "Immediately activate the Skynet plan. Deploy it throughout the country, leaving no blind spots.
All funds, technology, and personnel will be prioritized. Externally, strict confidentiality will be maintained. Internally, all participants will sign the highest level of confidentiality agreements. Any disclosure will result in severe punishment.”
"Yes!" Qiao Jianmin and Zhou Zhenguo stood up at the same time and saluted.
"Also," the old man added, "Madam Zhong Ling's daily life must continue to be protected at the highest level of security. No one is allowed to approach her base unless she allows it, including our personnel."
"yes!"
After the meeting, Qiao Jianmin and Zhou Zhenguo immediately began intensive deployment. Teams of technicians and special forces, carrying sealed equipment, secretly traveled to entry and exit ports across the country.
Zhao Wenxuan was studying in the library. During a break, he opened his mobile phone and saw the trending search. He immediately connected it with the vegetables grown by Zhong Ling.
He found the online store on Taobei using the name provided by netizens, but was unable to place an order as he was restricted!
The direct purchase route was blocked, and obtaining information from Zhu Qing was slow and risky.
This unexpectedly popular online store, although seemingly open, is actually heavily guarded, which provides a new and potentially more direct direction for investigation.
He opened the encrypted communication software and wrote down his findings about the "delicious vegetable store", product information, prices, buyer feedback, purchase restrictions, and his own speculations in the report.
After sending the report, Zhao Wenxuan got up and left the library.
Xiao Zhao has been so busy lately that he feels dizzy and dizzy.
Ever since "Delicious Vegetable Shop" was pushed to the front page of Taobei platform, the whole shop has been like taking off. The number of visitors and discussion has skyrocketed, and it has directly rushed to the top of the hot search list of several social platforms.
"600 yuan per pound of cabbage? Am I crazy or is the world crazy?"
"The biggest IQ tax of the year, are all the buyers' shows shills?"
"Please be kind to me! I've personally tried it and it works! After three days of taking it, my mom's insomnia, which has plagued her for years, has been largely cured! Money well spent!"
"Exactly! The taste is amazing. I felt like I had a full body spa and felt refreshed! I've already repurchased!"
"Is there anyone who can dig up this store? It seems to be a very complicated business. The shipping place is Shangjing."
"Blindly guessing there's a background behind this? Otherwise, who would dare to set this price?"
