Mixed in 1980

Chapter 520 The dust has settled
"You came once last year, and you're coming again this year?"

Upon seeing Chen Yanyin's video, blogger Amu was somewhat surprised, but still opened the drawer to check the masks and alcohol he had bought last year.

There are enough of them to last for a while.

There was no fever reducer available, so Amu didn't hesitate and immediately went downstairs to buy it. Fortunately, he had seen the video in advance and the rush to buy it hadn't started yet, so he was able to buy the fever reducer smoothly.

"Give me two more packs of masks and a bottle of alcohol."

After making the payment, Amu breathed a sigh of relief. Although it hadn't happened last year, he still chose to believe Chen Yanyin, thinking that the Chen family wouldn't make baseless accusations.

Moreover, they even posted evidence.

It's not really evidence, just an indication, but he believes it anyway. E-cigarette disease? It sounds unreliable. I've used e-cigarettes myself, and I've never heard of anyone getting sick from it.

Based on what Chen Fan said last year, it concerns the lungs!
The clues are very clear, but there is a lack of actual evidence, so the Chen family can't say it outright. Anyway, just buy it; it won't cost much.

After thinking for a while, Amu went to the supermarket again and bought three boxes of instant noodles and two bags of rice. He figured he would have to eat them anyway, so he might as well stock up in advance.

After struggling to carry the items home, Amu took out his phone, rewatched the video, remained silent for a while, then turned on his computer and connected to the internet.

There are many reports on foreign websites.

As a blogger, Amu frequently searches for information and has a strong ability to reason logically about various sources. He quickly discovered that some of the Western reports were suspicious.

Much crucial information has been hidden.

After pondering for a moment, Amu began to organize the information and make a video. He believed that Chen Yanyin would not speak without reason, and that the sources of information from such a large family were much more reliable than his own.

There are many people like him!

Many people are looking for clues and then posting videos, which generate a lot of traffic and attention, making it easy to get likes.

The same is true.

Just like last year, after Chen Yanyin's video was released, masks and alcohol were once again snapped up, starting a new round of hype.

"Is it reliable or not?" Sun Shaojie asked, smoking a cigarette and squinting at his junior brother.

It was hyped up last year!
In other words, Chen Fan's influence is so great that if it were anyone else, those remarks would never have been able to spread and would have been censored immediately.

The higher-ups specifically sent him over to ask.

The reason is simple: Chen Lao Er has been making a lot of moves in the past two years, acquiring medical companies everywhere, especially those producing masks, ventilators, and protective clothing.

In addition, it also buys healthcare stocks globally.

The most likely scenario for a normal capitalist to do this is that they are either one of the initiators of a biological warfare attack, or they are deliberately spreading rumors to make a fortune.

But no one in the Chen family would think that way.

As long as the Chen family doesn't engage in charity, they can leave behind a huge amount of money every year, so there's no need for them to do these things.

"That's unreliable, I'll chop my head off."

Chen Fan lit a cigarette and took a deep drag: "The money my second brother has spent in the past two years is enough to build a railway. Does he really think I have money to burn?"

Sun Shaojie stopped talking.

He knows his junior brother better than anyone else. He's ruthless when it comes to making money, but he never lacks any bottom line and never crosses the line.

It's no exaggeration to say that no major family in China is cleaner than the Chen family.

He is very particular about cleanliness!

Aside from marrying three wives, he was impeccable in every other respect. Even when his fourth daughter transferred jewelry, he required her to declare the taxes, making his business impeccably clean.

He finished his cigarette in silence.

Sun Shaojie patted his behind and left, intending to go back and tell his superiors that Chen Fan was so certain that the matter must be true, and he should make some preparations.

Unfortunately, there is no evidence.

It's not that the higher-ups didn't investigate, but the big bosses in the US don't allow outsiders to touch these things. The only information they can find is about e-cigarette-related illnesses.

As for patients and sources of infection, they are not allowed to be touched at all.

"Watch out for public opinion!" Chen Fan reminded them.

After thinking for a while, I called my fourth brother over again: "Release another video in a couple of days. As for the content, it needs to be tailored to public opinion..."

Two days later, Chen Yanyin released another video.

The video lists a lot of evidence, all of which were collected by Chen Lao Er's people, and they are all things that cannot be definitively identified, only a lot of speculation.

"Do you know what the big boss is waiting for?"

"It's waiting for us to explode, then it'll dump all the blame on us and make us take the fall. Can you tolerate that?"

"It's boring to mess around with things on the intranet!"

"The battlefield should be on the internet. If you don't want to take the blame later, you should shift the blame now."

One word can wake a dreamer up!
The internal network is still very lively, but the external network has been in an uproar, with a large group of netizens rushing to the external network to launch a fierce attack on the "e-cigarette" conspiracy.

Chen Yanyin even hired online trolls to post on foreign websites.

In any case, it is necessary to maintain the high ground in public opinion, and even the government is taking action, raising the issue of e-cigarette-related illnesses at various press conferences and briefings in the United States.

Is "e-cigarette sickness" a virus?

"Are you planning to launch a global biological war based on information circulating online?"

"Are you planning to smear China?"

The answers received were naturally all negative, but nobody cared. Regardless of whether it would happen in the future, the important thing was to throw the mud at them first.

If it really happens, we won't lose in the public eye.

"Let's go, let's go to Mentougou and take a look."

Not only their own family, but also other relatives were invited to go to the Mentougou villa area, which has a total of twenty luxury villas.

Chen Yi, Xiao Xi, the eldest, the third, the fourth, and the fifth will each be assigned two buildings, while the others will be assigned to the second eldest, which was also decided beforehand.

However, they rarely come here.

Built in the 1990s, it has been used for vacations only a handful of times. Now it has changed dramatically, having been completely renovated by Chen Lao Er.

"Second brother, what did you do?"

Chen Yanyin glanced around and said sarcastically, "It would be better to let Xiao Wu handle it. He's the real expert in breeding and planting."

"Go away."

Chen Lao Er gave his sister a flick on the forehead, then took his little niece from her arms and said, "Uncle will take you to see the animals. There are big fat pigs and little hens."

The little girl has turned one year old. When we brought her to the chicken farm, she struggled to get down, mumbling, "Chicken, little chick..."

"Little ancestor, this place is dirty."

Chen Lao Er dared not let go. The little girl was lazy; she would crawl after taking a few steps. If she went inside and crawled around, Lao Si would definitely get angry.

Besides chicken farms, there are also pig farms, and large open spaces outside are planted with vegetables, just like in the countryside. With some supplies stored up, they can be self-sufficient.

"Dad, Mom, is the environment alright?"

Chen Fan stayed by the old man's side: "There's a fishpond with running water dug down there, and there are people who take care of it. In your spare time, you can go down there and cast a couple of lines."

"Why dig a fishpond when there are so many children in the family?" Guan Yuemei frowned. Children are mischievous and can disappear in the blink of an eye.

Chen Fan quickly explained, "It's surrounded by a three-and-a-half-meter wall, which most adults can't climb over. Besides, the fishpond is managed by someone."

"That's okay."

Guan Yuemei nodded slightly and said, "Is what you're saying reliable? If there really is a biological war, will we have to live here for a year or two?" "When has your son ever been unreliable?"

"Get out of here." Guan Yuemei waved her hand dismissively. Her son was reliable, but he was annoying. Her great-grandchildren were much cuter.

Grandchildren aren't as appealing anymore.

Guan Yuemei used to enjoy taking her grandchildren out for walks, but now, apart from her third grandson, the others are disliked, especially Chen the second grandson, whom she wants to curse at whenever she sees him.

Chen Lao Er sometimes even suspected that his grandmother was going through a second menopause.

It wasn't like this when we were little. If I was naughty and got into trouble, she would say, "It's good to be naughty. Naughty children are smart. My second son will definitely be successful in the future."

just now……

What Jia Baoyu said: "An unmarried girl is a priceless pearl."
After getting married, she somehow developed many flaws. Although she was a pearl, she lost her luster and became a dead pearl.
As they get older, they change from beads to fish eyes.

Grandma thought it was the same: children are sweet before they grow up, but they become stinky after they grow up, and after they get married and have children, they become an eyesore.

Anyway, I feel quite wronged. How come I've become someone that everyone hates and despises in my grandma's eyes?

I stayed here with my family for three days.

We listened to everyone's opinions, made adjustments where necessary, and added supplements where needed. Then we returned to Ya'er Hutong and quietly awaited the arrival of the biological warfare.

Anyway, I'm already prepared.

In December, the Chen family moved to a villa area in Mentougou. The roads leading to the villa area were also blocked off, prohibiting outsiders from entering.

In 2020, in the first month of the lunar calendar, before the Spring Festival!

What was bound to happen eventually did happen. The lockdown of "Jiangcheng" caused panic among many people, who then realized how important Chen Fan's reminder had been.

Those who had masks and alcohol at home breathed a sigh of relief, able to face the situation calmly, unlike those who were unprepared and couldn't buy them even if they had the money.

"They're here! They're really here!"

Upon hearing the news, Amu trembled all over. The city was under lockdown, which showed how serious the problem was.

"Thanks, Chen family!"

Looking at his reserves, Amu breathed a sigh of relief and grinned, "The biological warfare has come true. Economic warfare and hot war will follow."

"Gold is about to surge!"

Amu listened to advice and, after Chen Fan appeared on the show in 2018, he began purchasing nearly 30 yuan worth of gold.

Next, we're going to make a fortune!
After brewing a cup of tea and taking a few sips to calm down, Amu opened Douyin and watched Chen Yanyin's videos again. The comment section was very lively.

May everyone be safe!

"Thanks for the reminder, Fourth Princess, we have enough masks."

"The reminder was so timely. We have plenty of masks, alcohol, and fever reducers at home. Let's work together to get through this difficult time! Keep going!"

Just as I was enjoying the excitement, Chen Yanyin updated her video again.

The entire younger generation of the Chen family appeared on camera, with Chen Lao Er speaking first: "In 2017, after learning that the Americans were developing a vaccine, we began preparations."

"Over the past two years, we have stockpiled a large amount of goods."

"The first batch of 300 sets of protective clothing, 3000 million medical masks, and 30 million disposable masks have been transported to Wuhan through various channels."

"Jiangcheng, keep going!"

Next, Chen Laosan said, "After discussion at home, Feixing Mobile will donate 10 billion yuan to Jiangcheng, which has already been transferred to Jiangcheng's account."

"Jiangcheng, keep going!"

Chen Xiaowu followed up with his speech: "The Chinatown Supermarket in Jiangcheng has donated all the daily necessities from its warehouses, and the supermarket doors are wide open and completely open."

"Anyone who has nowhere to live can go in."

"All supplies in the supermarket are available for free use. There's no need to worry about legal issues. Just treat it as a public place during this period."

"All the supermarkets in Chinatown around Jiangcheng have donated all their daily necessities, and Chen Xiaowu Green Food will allocate all its agricultural products to Jiangcheng."

"But we lack drivers and need everyone's help."

"Jiangcheng, keep going!"

"Go for it!" the whole family shouted together!
After the video was released, public opinion was shocked. The Chen family is still the same Chen family. They never make a fuss about such important matters. They are righteous but evil!

Looking at the masks he had stockpiled, Amu thought for a moment, put on a mask, took out half of the mask, and went to the nearest hospital to donate it!

It's not much, but it's something I can do!

"The dust has settled!"

Chen Fan, smoking a cigarette, glanced at Sun Shaojie and said, "See? What's coming will eventually come. Things are going to be very turbulent from now on."

"Thank goodness you reminded me."

Sun Shaojie shook his head and smiled wryly: "Fortunately, we made the first move and have a firm upper hand in public opinion. It won't be so easy for the Americans to smear us."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Your second son has been busy for two years; he must have some big ambitions, right?"

"Of course, crisis is opportunity. How can we justify two years of hard work if we don't carve up the whole world?" Chen Fan said with a smug smile.

He took a drag of his cigarette and said, "Tell your son to take it easy and not to rush into anything. The eldest is still young, and the two kids are still small."

"Go to hell!" Sun Shaojie said irritably.

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Working at the Ministry of Commerce, he won't be involved in these kinds of things, but he can't neglect any of his duties."

He lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, and asked, "Do you think you can control yourself?"

Chen Fan curled his lip: "If we could control it, wouldn't I have wasted my time? It didn't start here, who knows how many are in Europe and America, they just haven't reported it."

"It's a global issue; let's wait for the vaccine."

"The second brother did a good job this time, tsk tsk... It's only been a few days, do you know how much the price of the raw material for masks, lava-blown fabric, has increased?"

"The price has increased from 2 yuan per ton to 30 yuan per ton."

"A profit of 15 times!"

“And ventilators, which used to cost 14 yuan each, have now risen to 20 yuan.”

"This is just the beginning. Just wait and see. Once things spread in Europe and America, the price of medical supplies will rise even more, and they'll be ruined."

Chen Lao Er was busy making a phone call.

“Aunt Wenya, inform our factories in Europe and America to maintain minimum production capacity, adopt a strategy of withholding sales, and continue to raise prices.”

"Domestically, we're increasing production capacity."

"Keep a close eye on the prices of masks, protective suits, and ventilators, and sell them at the lowest market price. Do not raise prices arbitrarily."

"Keep an eye on information regarding healthcare stocks."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Lao Er grinned.

Harvesting time has begun.

Compared to the profits from real businesses, he values ​​the financial market more. Healthcare stocks are rising globally, with the domestic sector showing the most significant gains.

The ones overseas will be here soon too!
If I don't make a fortune this time, it would be a waste of the past two years of hard work.

Just as he was secretly gloating, he heard the fourth brother's voice: "Second Brother Chen, don't try to shirk your responsibilities. Hurry up and come out to slaughter the pig. Everyone's waiting for you."

Chen Lao Er's face darkened. Slaughtering a pig?
Who came up with the idea?
