"Yes, boss!"
Because of the major Ebola outbreak in Afica a few years ago, the development of a vaccine for the Ebola virus has been proceeding in an orderly manner.
The recombinant Ebola vaccine developed in my hometown uses a freeze-dried powder formulation instead of the conventional liquid formulation. However, since there is only demand for this product overseas, there is naturally not much stock available.
Fortunately, Tianjin has a dedicated production base that can produce 100 million doses a year at full capacity, which is more than 10 million more than the entire population of the country.
After making contact, Xia Yu urgently arranged for the shipment of 200,000 doses of Ebola virus vaccine, and personally contacted Doctors Without Borders to borrow a medical team of 90 people.
With the addition of the thirty people from the concentrated fire defense team, a team of one hundred and twenty people was formed and headed to Panaka.
“Meerkat, I still remember the first time I came here and saw the Begonia Rabbit.”
Stepping out of the cargo hold of C-160, Xia Yu looked at the rebuilt Panaka and Hans behind him and said.
"The time you escorted Brigade Commander Anka?"
Hans was also feeling nostalgic. In the blink of an eye, his beautiful young sister had become a mother of three, and he, her older brother, was about to become a father.
"No, it was when we had just arrived at the border and passed by the frontline hospital. She was still wearing a mask, and I just thought that the girl's eyes were very beautiful."
"Well, it turns out you've been planning this for a long time!"
Hearing Xia Yu say that, Hans couldn't help but complain.
"Back then, our company was just starting out, and we didn't even have field medics. I was just looking for suitable candidates. Besides, isn't this all because your Fischer family likes to go to Afica?"
Xia Yu sounded a little guilty, but what he said was true.
Not only did his brother and sister run to Afica, but old Fisher also visited the Philippines quite often. His ancestors even joined the Philippine Legion and fought against the British in the desert.
This family truly loves Afica deeply, unlike the Xia family, which has only had two generations of people come in the last twenty years, with the third generation not expected to arrive until next year.
“You’re right. But even if you hadn’t hired me, I wouldn’t have met Liv while I was in Gineya. You still have a chance to get to know her.”
Hans had to admit that this might be fate's arrangement. After all, it was Xia Yu's home ground, and the contract to eliminate the rebels would definitely be subcontracted to Ji Huo Defense, regardless of whether he joined or not.
Even so, the younger sister couldn't escape the weasel's clutches and was kidnapped back to give birth to baby weasels.
Thanks to this connection, his older brother, who has served in the armored forces of the National Defense Force, may still join Jihuo Defense, but he won't become employee number 002 and a veteran who has played almost the entire game.
Not to mention accumulating a net worth of nearly ten million, well, he relied on his abilities; the boss becoming his brother-in-law was a matter of several years later.
In the early stages of their business, their Weasel crew fought their way in and out of the rebel army seven times with just one vehicle.
"It's all thanks to Kuhn's recommendations; there aren't many people who can operate both tanks and infantry fighting vehicles effectively."
Even a veteran like Kuhn, whose specialty wasn't tanks, couldn't learn to operate them as quickly as Hans.
The two didn't chat much and immediately changed into protective suits at the airport.
To prevent the spread of the Ebola virus, Xia Yu immediately dispatched a chemical defense team from the village protection team to Panaka Airport to carry out comprehensive disinfection of the terminal building, vehicles, and goods entering and leaving the airport.
Therefore, even after the vaccines and medical personnel arrived in Panaka, the number of infections continued to rise, but it was contained locally and did not spread to surrounding areas, let alone affect Konluga in the far west.
However, business at the Afica War Museum and various data on the local tourism industry have seen a significant decline. After all, this is Ebola, and once infected, the mortality rate is frighteningly high.
Of course, to be fair, the local "natural mortality rate" is also very high, but fortunately the birth rate is holding up and is still on an overall upward trend.
Even if this round of Ebola infects several thousand people, and even with the highest mortality rate of 90%, it cannot stop the population from exceeding 100 million within three years.
With a large influx of immigrants, Konluga is likely to have a population exceeding ten million within ten years.
After everyone changed into their protective suits, they unloaded the vaccines and accompanying syringes from the An-124 cargo hold and began preparing the vaccines on the spot.
The lyophilized powder, which can be stably stored at 37 degrees Celsius for 3 weeks, was poured into physiological saline and thoroughly mixed and diluted before being dispensed into disposable syringes.
Forty disinfected pickup trucks carrying a medical team of 120 people entered the epidemic area under the protection of village guards and government troops.
Each dose of this vaccine costs $5, and they had all been vaccinated before entering Panaka. The next goal is to vaccinate all one million people in the city, including the village where the incident occurred, free of charge.
Then there are the 12 million people in the two border provinces. If it weren't for these tens of millions, Xia Yu would have lost hundreds of millions or even billions of US dollars, or it has already lost them.
Natural disasters and man-made calamities are the most unsolvable problems. All Jihuo Defense can do is weather this storm and wait for the situation to improve.
As the boss, Xia Yu naturally had to participate actively. Although he was no longer supported by the Weasel K1, he had become an injection expert after giving thousands of injections.
Afica may not have much else, but it offers an abundance of opportunities to practice. No wonder many doctors from developed countries prefer to study in third-world countries, where even new practitioners can quickly improve their skills.
And so, the concentrated fire defense team, which had temporarily shifted from combat power to medical support, quietly passed the 20th New Year in the fight against Ebola in Panaka.
The previously rising number of infections stopped at 2,200, with 1,500 deaths and 1,000 orphans.
Because the local people are not highly educated, these orphans were discriminated against because they were suspected of carrying the virus.
Xia Yu stepped forward and arranged for them to stay at the airport, providing them with food and medical observation. After confirming that none of them were carrying the Ebola virus, he directly transported them back to Kongluga by transport plane.
The warlords and rebels of Afica enjoy creating orphans to form child soldiers and make them fight for them.
Unlike others, Huang You directly adopted these true orphans whose parents died from Ebola infection, as a reserve force for the company for the next seven or eight years.
It turns out that employees who are trained from a young age are more loyal; each of them can call their own father.
Meanwhile, Liv, who was far away in China, suddenly went from being the godmother of two young black men to the mother of over 1,000 black children.
From then on, they had no worries about food and clothing; those who could study could study, and those who could join the army could join the army.
When they reach a certain age, they can work in various industries under Jihuo Defense and start their own families.
Xia Yu's actions were highly praised by UNICEF. They were originally responsible for the placement of these orphans, but now someone has suddenly helped solve the problem. The amount of money is not much, but the honor is definitely due.
“Mr. Sherlock, this is the United Nations pass issued to you by Secretary General Antonio.” At a resettlement site not far from Bogo village, Xia Yu, wearing an apron and serving meals to the children, received a small red booklet with the words “unitednationslaissez-passer” printed on the cover in front of the camera.
Many people don't know what this document is, but if you say "UN passport," they'll know. Isn't this the passport that Secretary-General Pan gave to Marx back then?
Holding this pass allows you to bring your family to 224 countries and regions worldwide visa-free. This is something that ordinary UN employees holding the blue pass can also do, but that pass is issued only once every 5 years and has relatively lower privileges.
The red pass in Xia Yu's hand is a high-level pass that only those who have made outstanding contributions to global public welfare or are senior officials of the United Nations are qualified to hold.
In addition to visa-free entry, holders also enjoy diplomatic immunity.
It must be said that this is also thanks to Xia Yu's previous good relationship with the United Nations. Otherwise, with so many people doing charity and donating to orphans, his adoption of more than a thousand people would not have been particularly outstanding.
Furthermore, we actively contacted Doctors Without Borders to jointly address this round of Ebola virus spread.
All these bonus points are combined to form this pass.
As for his previous Schengen family visa and ten-year US visa, they are not as valuable as the UNLP.
"Thank you to the United Nations and Secretary-General Antonio for recognizing me. As a company with a sense of international social responsibility, we will continue to contribute to the world in the future."
Xia Yu also cooperated in front of the camera and said.
In the underworld, one's public image is still very important. As for sincerity or ulterior motives, one can only judge by actions, not intentions. After all, he genuinely gave the money to the vulnerable.
From the initial free clinics and well digging to today's fight against the virus and the adoption of a large number of orphans of deceased patients.
However, this is a win-win situation; the seeds planted in the past will eventually blossom.
"That's the situation. The Ebola virus is no longer spreading, but people in the surrounding provinces will be vaccinated."
When Xia Yu was video chatting with his wife that evening, he explained the situation regarding the fruit.
Has business improved?
Liv asked her husband about the museum business.
"Not yet, but we'll take advantage of the drop in passenger traffic to further expand Pointe-Noire Airport."
In the future, when Komluga becomes a metropolis with tens of millions of passengers, the current facilities at Pointe-Noire Airport will definitely not be able to handle the surge in passenger traffic.
Taking advantage of the low population density in the next two years to upgrade and expand is arguably the best course of action.
For example, expanding the terminal, building a second, longer runway, and constructing more hangars.
The personnel are still the domestic team that took over the Keidar Airport project, or rather, the infrastructure construction in their hometown is almost finished, so how can they not send their staff out?
Similarly, tourism infrastructure in Kongluga can now be optimized in a concentrated manner based on the anticipated surge in population, instead of being piecemeal as before.
"You can never earn all the money in the world. It's a good time to take a break and catch your breath."
“That’s true, but the delay of our Tomcat project shouldn’t have a big impact. I saw in the news that Top Gun 2 is also going to be delayed. The promotion said that it would be released in December, which is six months later than in June, but I think that given the current situation, it probably won’t be able to make it in December.”
Liv talked about the news she had seen recently.
"It's not just half a year, it might not even catch up by December 2021, it might take until 2022."
Xia Yu made a bold prediction, after all, the current situation could be that the film would be a box office flop if it were released. Paramount had been holding back for more than 30 years to come up with the sequel, and even a small profit would be a loss. So let it be delayed!
"Then we'll postpone the deployment of the F-14D on carriers until 2022."
"Yes, the Mirage-4000 from the French was finally delivered these past two days. I've seen it and it's already been loaded onto a ship and sent back. Once it arrives at port, I'll fly there to pick you up and take you back to Afica."
Xia Yu then talked about the three twin-engine Mirage fighters. As aircraft from the last century, they are planned to be put back into service after 2030. Their avionics and other systems need to be upgraded, and the airframes must be reinforced for carrier operations.
Taking advantage of the time he had it, Xia Yu disassembled and printed one out as a personal collection.
These three aircraft will all be operational aircraft in the future. After the three F-14Ds are retired to the second line, they will join the Rafale, which the Malaysians promised to take over, to usher in the last glory of the aircraft carrier museum.
Xia Yu had heard of a prince lasting 70 years, but never an aircraft carrier lasting 100 years. The best outcome would be for the St. Paul to survive until 2050. By then, this second ship of the Clemenceau class, which should have been scrapped, would also be officially retired. It was impossible for it to really last 100 years.
"I've been waiting for you. I've been delayed for so long, it's time for me to come back."
After giving birth to two pregnancies and three children, Liv felt like her body was rusting. Now that Charlotte and Ciel have been weaned and are eating solid foods, it's perfect for their grandparents and older brother to take care of them for a few months.
Well, Xiaoyouzi won't be three and a half until summer. It's not too late to take him abroad then, and more importantly, it's safe.
While the three Mirage 4000s were crossing the ocean, Xia Yu set off ahead aboard the Sherlock to Europe to negotiate the sale of second-hand passenger planes.
Those who understand the airline industry know what it's been like these past two years. The war he predicted hasn't even happened yet, and the global civil aviation industry is already experiencing a surplus of passenger planes.
What could Xia Yu do? With such a good opportunity, he naturally had to buy a large quantity of goods, even if it was with tears in his eyes. He split the Boeing and Airbus passenger planes in half, bought them at low prices, and flew them to the aircraft graveyard in Mali for storage.
Acquiring used passenger and cargo planes puts a company's cash flow to the test.
Even though the museum's business was affected, the mining industry, which had seen significant initial investment, has yielded results in the past two years, bringing substantial returns to Xia Yu.
Unlike the widespread lamentation surrounding large passenger jets, the prices of small and medium-sized business jets have stopped falling and started to rise. After all, buying a business jet means you can actually get away with it, especially with flights almost completely cut off.
The wealthy who used to only fly first class have finally made up their minds and decided to buy a private jet.
However, compared to business jets, fighter jets are faster, and this trend has unexpectedly boosted the sales of second-hand civilian fighter jets.
Xia Yu and Thompson also took advantage of this opportunity to launch several F-16Ds, while the inventory of two-seat Fighting Falcons was running low.
Unfortunately, only a minority of wealthy people can fly their own fighter jets; most people have to hire a professional pilot.
Therefore, he still needs to find a way to buy a batch of F-16Bs to replenish his inventory.
Thus, a Nordic country came into Xia Yu's sights. Before returning home to pick up his wife, this trip to Europe was not only to buy passenger planes, but also to buy a batch of fighter jets.
As usual, Xia Yu first visited the company's orphanage, bringing some new schoolbags and clothes from China as gifts, before taking a helicopter to the airport to transfer to the Sherlock to travel to Europe.
