Chapter 741 Doesn't Match My Memory
"There have been some cases! Every Ebola outbreak, there is always the Grain Coast!" James Whistler sighed, "Fortunately, our core area has not been affected."

"Be careful, this virus outbreak is a bit strange!" Yang Dongsheng said.

"You mean..."

"The current scale is a bit beyond the arrangement of God of Destiny!"

This time the Ebola virus spread more and more widely, more and more people died, and the media paid more and more attention. It has caused panic in the international community.

But Yang Dongsheng did not remember such a serious Ebola outbreak at the beginning of the century.

In every way, Ebola was a strange virus.

Countries such as Guinea, the Grain Coast, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Senegal, and Mali, where Ebola frequently occurs, are all located in the tropics.

And many of them have high average altitudes.

High temperature, ultraviolet rays, these are the nemesis of viruses.

From the 80s to the early 90s, Ebola "mysteriously" disappeared for 15 years. Just when everyone believed that Ebola had been completely wiped out, it reappeared.

Not only survived, but also broke out more frequently.

Ebola is an RNA virus that mutates very quickly.

Generally, the virus will gradually increase its infectivity and gradually reduce its toxicity as it mutates.

This is a good explanation. If a virus is highly toxic and poorly contagious, it will cause the death of the host before it is transmitted, and the virus will perish by itself.

The mortality rate of Ebola-infected patients did drop to 53% at one point, indicating that it was also in line with the laws of nature, but then it jumped back to 90% for unknown reasons.

"A few years ago, Freddy and the others also had suspicions and conducted investigations, but they did not find any man-made evidence!" James Whistler said.

Yang Dongsheng's face was serious, "Notify them, take precautions!"

Two days later, Yang Dongsheng and James Whistler watched the last game of this year's NBA Finals-the Mavericks and the Heat played to the seventh game.

Before the game, it was predicted that Mars would hit the earth, and there was no suspense in the second quarter.

Duncan is far better than Ben Wallace in all aspects, can already suppress O'Neal on both offensive and defensive ends, Nowitzki is also better than Rasheed Wallace...

Also on the bench are Anderson Varejao, Boozer, Fred Hoiberg and others.

Without the referee's black whistle, the seventh game would not have been played at all.

Although the Heat did not have O'Neal and Kobe infighting like the Lakers in the previous life, Karl Malone, Gary Payton and O'Neal were all one year older than the Big Four of the Lakers in the previous life.

By the seventh game, I had no physical strength.

Before the game was over, Yang Dongsheng began to think about next season.

Boozer will definitely not be able to keep it, Duncan's contract is about to expire, Billups's contract is not left for a few years, and the backup point guard Steve Blake is still too thin, and it is not enough at critical moments. not going up...

These have to be prepared early. It happens that this year's rookies include Deron Williams and Chris Paul. They also hold multiple first-round picks. They can consider changing to a higher pick.
The Mavericks finally beat the Heat 112 to 79, and also broke the ceiling for a team to win three consecutive championships after the Celtics.

After the finals, George Wilson from the overseas branch came to Shanghai.

George Wilson first reported on the construction, sales and leasing of houses.

Due to the economic recovery, real estate and land values ​​have risen sharply, and rents have more than doubled. Only Yang Dongsheng’s real estate and land values ​​​​in Europe and the United States have risen to more than 400 billion U.S. dollars.

According to the 2004 Global Rich List, his total wealth is actually higher than that of Buffett, who ranks second.

The one who made the rich list in China has already been killed by Yang Dongsheng.

However, Yang Dongsheng has never appeared on any list of the world's richest people. Now I think it should be Yelena Ivanova and the others who did the work.

Then George Wilson introduced the sales of blast furnace injection anthracite.

As the economy improves and steel demand is strong, the price of blast furnace injection anthracite has been rising steadily.

Yang Dongsheng dared to sell steel to foreign countries. On the one hand, he relied on the fact that they had a lot of land in Europe and the United States and maintained cooperative relations with a large number of construction companies. He could recommend or even designate steel from China to them;
On the other hand, relying on their channels for selling blast furnace injection anthracite, they can keep a real-time grasp of the steel market information of major steel producing and consuming countries around the world.

In 2004, the total amount of steel imported by China was 1700 million tons—nearly half lower than the same period in the original history.

The total amount of exported steel products is 1800 million tons - about 500 million tons higher than the original historical period.

In terms of weight, the steel trade achieved a surplus.

But laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the doorway. We still have a deficit in the import and export of steel.

The export of 1800 million tons seems to be a lot, but more than 800 million tons of them are steel billets, that is, semi-finished steel products, and the price is still very low.

It belongs to keeping the pollution to oneself and giving all the profits to others.

It is better not to sell than to sell.

The remaining nearly 1000 million tons are mostly medium and thick plates and cold-rolled thin plates.

The added value of these two kinds of steel is high, which also raises the average price of export steel to a certain extent.

However, medium and thick plates and cold-rolled thin plates are steel products that are still in short supply in our country at this time, and they still need to be imported in large quantities every year.

This is a large enterprise that has the ability to produce, has export qualifications and connections, and uses its products to export to earn foreign exchange and make achievements.

Domestic enterprises in need cannot buy it, so they can only find ways to import it.

Due to the preferential policies for foreign exchange earning through export, the export prices have been lowered by enterprises, while the prices of imported medium-thick plates and cold-rolled thin plates have been raised very high because they are varieties that we are short of.

This kind of export actually further expands our trade deficit and raises the production cost of domestic manufacturing enterprises.

At this time, the real surplus steel products in our country are rebar, wire rod, etc. The production process of these steel products is simple, the investment is low, the construction period is short, and the expansion speed is fast.

It was these steel products that Yang Dongsheng asked George Wilson to sell.

Although China, the United States, Germany, Japan and other major steel-producing countries have different steel grades, it is actually possible to find similar varieties. A random search on the Internet can find a lot of comparison tables, but this is not enough.

In the eyes of those old developed countries, we can make shoes and clothes, but steel products, they are not at ease.

After all, under the long-term claims of XX media, our products are synonymous with inferior quality.

There must be an authentic certification from an authoritative organization.

That's what George Wilson had been doing before.
