China, and probes into the effective countermeasures to accelerate the economic improvement of Fujian
Province through many field investigations inside and outside the province. This paper focuses on Research
on Blockchain-Based Strategic Management Innovation of Emergency Resource Supply Chain in Fujian
province. After thorough investigation and analysis, the research group puts forward several feasible schemes.
1 INTRODUCTION
The strategic management of emergency resource
supply chain represented by masks and other medical
supplies reflected in the epidemic prevention and
control work of "COVID-19" at the beginning of
2020 will certainly become an emerging research
hotspot for scholars at home and abroad. From Hubei
Province to Jiangsu, Sichuan, Guangdong, Fujian and
many other places, there have been shortages of
medical supplies to varying degrees, and there have
been extreme cases of local governments withholding
foreign supplies. The poor operation of the
emergency supply chain has left a deep impression on
people. In the blockchain system, other business
subjects can conduct dynamic real-time supervision
and interaction on the transaction behaviour and
distribution activities of suppliers, which can improve
the efficiency of emergency resource management
and logistics distribution.
According to the "2020 Statistical Communique
on National Economic and Social Development of
Fujian Province" issued by the Fujian Provincial
Bureau of Statistics, the annual GDP of Fujian
Province in 2020 reached 4.390389 billion yuan, an
increase of 3.3% over the previous year. Of which,
the added value of the primary industry was 273.32
billion yuan, up by 3.1%; the added value of the
secondary industry is 2,032.88 billion yuan, up 2.5%;
The added value of the tertiary industry was
2,084.278 billion yuan, up by 4.1%. The added value
of the three industries accounted for 6.2 percent of the
GDP of the primary industry, 46.3 percent of the
secondary industry and 47.5 percent of the tertiary
industry. The online retail sales of wholesale and
retail enterprises above designated size reached
140.592 billion yuan, up 14.2 percent over the
previous year. The revenue of key Internet enterprises
reached 68.09 billion yuan, an increase of 8.8% over
the previous year. The profits of industrial enterprises
above designated size reached 347.08 billion yuan,
down 9.7% from the previous year. In terms of
economic types, state-owned enterprises posted a loss
of 110 million yuan from 194 million yuan in the
same period last year. The profit of collective
enterprises reached 604 million yuan, up 8.8 percent;
Joint-stock enterprises 232.00 billion yuan, down
6.3%; Enterprises invested by foreign investors and
those from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan reached
111.115 billion yuan, down 16.1%; Private
enterprises reached 178.604 billion yuan, down 7.6%.
The asset-liability ratio of industrial enterprises above
designated size was 50.4 percent, down 0.4
percentage points from the previous year. The cost
per 100 yuan of main business income was 86.51
yuan, and the profit margin of operating income was
6.26%.

Figure 2: The proportion of added value of the three industries in GDP of FuJian province from 2013 to 2020.
During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, the
province's GDP rose to 3 trillion yuan and 4 trillion
yuan successively, with an average annual growth
rate of 7.1%. Total revenue in the general public
budgets reached 2.425.114 trillion yuan, local
government revenue in the general public budgets
reached 1.46316 trillion yuan, and expenditure in the
general public budgets reached 2.408.478 trillion
yuan, 1.4 times, 1.4 times and 1.6 times the figures
for the 12th Five-Year Plan period, respectively.
In 2020, the economic volume of Fujian Province
will be 4 trillion yuan (4.390389 billion yuan),
accounting for about 4.32% of the national economic
aggregate of 10,15986 billion yuan in the same
period, and 8.35% of the eastern ten provinces and
cities' economic aggregate of 5,25733 billion yuan in
the same period.
Influenced by COVID-19, the overall economic
growth rate of Fujian has slowed down, but the
economy of Fujian is recovering, and the GDP growth
rate of Fujian continues to lag behind that of the
whole country. First of all, for the service industry,
whose GDP contribution rate has increased
significantly in recent years (after 2015),
consumption in some areas of Fujian showed negative
growth in the prevention and control measures in the
first and second quarters of 2020. The resumption of
work and production comes first from industry,
because only when industry is in operation can human
beings have income and go to various businesses for
consumption. Otherwise, the service industry will
face the problem of lack of customers. The service
sector accounted for nearly 50% of employment, up
from 30% in 2003. The resumption of work and
production began to focus on exports because the
domestic market was damaged by a two-month
closure. This approach is advantageous to Fujian.
Fujian is already a major exporter of daily necessities.
The first thing to revive is the production of daily
necessities to ensure daily necessities. The research
team believes that the current supply chain
management system has fallen behind and cannot
adapt to the supply chain management after the
epidemic. The supply chain management mode based
on blockchain technology has a high application
prospect, so it is necessary for the government to raise
the infrastructure of blockchain technology and other
aspects in advance, and pre-research a new supply
chain management mode.

The research is supported by the achievements of
some projects, such as the “Research on the block
chain technology management innovation of
emergency resource supply chain” (FJ2020B045) and
which is a Fujian Social Science Planning Project, the
“A special study on the system of River and lake
chiefs in Yongchun County” (2020H25) which is
Quanzhou Social Science Planning Project.
This paper, which laying the burden upon the
current situation of Economic development in Fujian,
the research team concluded that government
scientific research was ineffective in managing
emergency resources during the early stages of
COVID-19. The emergency supply chain
management system should be further improved, and
the research group's research on the management
innovation of blockchain technology in the
emergency resource supply chain is given. The
overall organization of the paper is as follows.

2 REVIEW OF RESEARCH IN
THE FIELD OF EMERGENCY
SUPPLY CHAIN
MANAGEMENT
Emergency management is one of the important
research directions in management science. In the
COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control work at
the beginning of 2020, some emergency resources
cannot be in place in time. For example, various
materials such as masks and other medical supplies
are in short supply, which has reflected many
problems in China's existing emergency resource
supply chain management, such as insufficient
efficiency in allocating emergency resources and
urgent need to improve the orderly management.
Supply chain management of emergency resources
will become an emerging research hotspot for
scholars at home and abroad, and modern supply
chain management relies on new information sharing
and transmission technology, so supply chain
management of emergency resources that applies
blockchain technology will become an important
research direction.
Due to the sudden emergency event, the event
whether it is the time, place, or event such as the
nature, scale with a fair degree of certainty, accidental
and randomness, emergency rescue equipment
manufacturing resources agglomeration and the
service demand accurate prediction is very difficult,
there are strong weak predictive or even blindness,
but at the same time, An emergency event trigger,
emergency response mechanism to activate,
emergency rescue, the directivity and demand for
emergency rescue equipment is very clear, need to be
accurate and timely and efficient resource
agglomeration and service, the faster the
agglomeration manufacturing resources, the sooner
you finish manufacturing task, the more help to prop
up the rescue work, to prevent the spread of the
incident and deterioration, minimize loss of life and
property. Therefore, the current research on post-
disaster emergency resource management by
domestic and foreign scholars mainly focuses on
resource scheduling, logistics distribution, production
supply chain, performance system, game between
supply and demand and decision-making, etc.
Emergency resource scheduling: Zhang Yibin et
al. studied the optimal emergency strategy of the
system and introduced the system dynamics model to
simulate the operation of the system, so as to optimize
the "order to level" inventory under the risk of supply
interruption. Sheu uses the hybrid fuzzy clustering
method to solve the problem of dynamic allocation of
emergency resources under emergency needs.
Emergency logistics distribution: common
logistics distribution research has considered
minimizing logistics cost, minimizing unsatisfied
quantity, minimizing service completion or delay
time; And the maximum minimum satisfaction and
the minimum maximum ambiguity percentage
considering the robustness of the target; The study of
allocation optimization considering multi-objective;
Lin proposes a multi-objective optimization of
minimum unsatisfied degree, scheduling cost and
equilibrium.
Emergency production supply chain: Annaka
Eiko analyzed the emergency production situation of
the broken auto production supply chain in Japan
after the Fukushima nuclear leakage event, and his
research held that "a strong production supply chain
in emergency situations" should be built. Zhang Zili
studied the production of post-disaster emergency
supplies and believed that the production capacity

reserve not only plays an important role in the
supplement of physical reserves in terms of space and
time, but also can guarantee the subsequent supply of
emergency supplies.
Emergency performance system: Machao et al.
discussed the feasibility of risk diversification
contract under uncertain demand and pointed out that
risk diversification contract can coordinate the supply
chain. Under the framework of collaborative
governance theory, Fanbo first analyzes the inter-
departmental intelligence linkage system based on the
supply chain theory to provide construction strategies
for the optimization of emergency linkage response.
Lixu et al. used the method of dynamic research based
on system dynamics and discussed the influencing
factors and solutions for improving the performance
of supply chain inventory management from the
perspective of dynamic complexity.
Supply and demand game and decision:
Yuxiaohui et al. analyzed the forms of common three
types of fuzzy alliance cooperative games and their
corresponding distribution strategies, and analyzed
the cooperative game forms and optimal distribution
strategies of fuzzy alliance with the greatest benefits,
providing a certain basis for income distribution for
cooperation problems under uncertain circumstances.
Zhaohuanhuan et al. made use of game theory and
optimization model to build incentive model, which
can encourage suppliers to invest more efforts
through the main manufacturer to increase
coordination level and share the development cost of
suppliers, so as to improve the interests of the main
manufacturer and suppliers and maximize the overall
profit of the supply chain.
In the past few years, blockchain has attracted
great attention from countries around the world,
including China. Scientific research institutions in
various countries have accumulated certain
technologies and research achievements in
blockchain research. Supply chain information
sharing refers to a state in which each business subject
or each business link in the supply chain can share the
information of other business subject or business link.
The development of information technology and
network technology, supply chain management
informationization and network transactions promote
the information sharing of supply chain. Therefore,
supply chain information sharing based on block
chain technology will greatly improve the efficiency
of supply chain management of emergency resources,
and it will certainly become an important means to
improve the efficiency of supply chain management.
TOYODA K et al. built a block chain based on the
product ownership management system to meet the
security requirements of supply chain business, and
evaluated the performance of the system. Tseng J H
et al. proposed a drug supply chain management
model based on Gcoin blockchain to create
transparent drug transaction data and realize the
transformation of drug supply chain from inspection
and testing to networked supervision. All nodes
joining the supply chain management model will be
able to participate in preventing counterfeit drugs and
protecting patients' rights and interests. Goertzel B et
al. proposed that currency based on block chain
technology could achieve transparent and open
transactions, which has development potential under
the environment of global economic integration, open
collaboration and network interconnection, and is
conducive to maximizing the economic benefits of
individuals and the society. It can be seen that the
application of block chain technology in emergency
resource supply chain management system is an
innovative direction of emergency resource
management worthy of attention.
Group argues that, given the nature of the block
chain itself, block chain was applied to emergency
resources supply chain management, emergency
resources supply chain information can be spread by
P2P for emergency resources supply chain business
main body in the form of sharing, for all emergency
resources supply chain business activities can add
block chain system coordinate business subject
regulation and common decision-making, integration
of the supply chain resources. It improves the
accuracy of emergency resource supply chain
decision and solves the problem of bullwhip effect
between purchase and inventory in traditional supply
chain management. Blockchain has an undeniable
traceability of information and a decentralized
consensus certification system, which promotes the
formation of supply chain trust ecology and provides
an information platform and a credible group
preference system for the supply chain to select the
supplier (or the demand side). In the blockchain
system, other business subjects can dynamically
supervise and interact with suppliers' supply and
distribution activities in real time, which improves the
efficiency of supply management of emergency
resources and logistics distribution. Therefore, the
application of blockchain technology will effectively
improve the operational efficiency of the emergency
resource supply chain management system.

3 BLOCKCHAIN
CONSTRUCTION OF
EMERGENCY SUPPLY CHAIN
MANAGEMENT
In the face of large-scale disasters, people are often
unable to return to their posts normally, which leads
to different degrees of shutdown of enterprises in
various places. Reasonable emergency resource
supply chain management will become the logistics
support for all kinds of materials, and prevent the
domino effect of shortage of medical and livelihood
materials. In the COVID-19 epidemic prevention and
control at the beginning of 2020, many places from
Hubei to Jiangsu, Sichuan, Guangdong, Fujian and
other provinces have experienced shortages of
medical supplies to varying degrees, and there have
been typical cases of local governments withholding
foreign supplies. In the blockchain system, other
business subjects can conduct dynamic real-time
supervision and interaction on the transaction
behaviour and distribution activities of suppliers,
which will greatly improve the efficiency of
emergency resource management and logistics
distribution. The supporting policies for the strategic
management of emergency resource supply chain
under the blockchain technology will certainly
become the focus of relevant policy research.
Blockchain construction needs strong support
from the local Fujian government. Therefore, the
research group puts forward the following
suggestions to the government:
First, data structure isomorphization design and
transformation. Considering the strategic height of
block chain technology, the provincial overall
planning leading group and the expert committee
shall be established as soon as possible, and invited
experts from home and abroad to participate in the
planning, positive preparation of the various types of
heterogeneous systems based on the relationship to
the national economy and people's livelihood
TongGouHua database data structure design and
modification, and timely complete block chain data
synchronization.
Second, set priorities and try first in some areas.
In order to achieve the goal of the integration of
blockchain and economic and social development,
priorities should be set, and some fields should be
tried first. Blockchainization of some livelihood
systems can be tried first, such as industrial and
commercial data of enterprises, financial and taxation
data of residents, medical insurance and social
security data of residents, household registration data,
medical data of hospitals, industrial and commercial
data, judicial and legal data, traffic
management/administrative service data, and then
extended to financial and energy data.
Third, moderate technical expansion on the
original infrastructure. Different industries have
different information architecture foundations, and
blockchain algorithms under heterogeneous systems
must have many practical difficulties and security
loopholes. The library and literature database,
teaching database and basic research database
between universities and scientific research
institutions can be experimentally connected and
moderately expanded on this basis. In terms of
industrial application, the three major operators in
China take the lead in the construction of information
infrastructure, so it is suggested that the
communication industry should be the first to try.
Fourth, improve security level, avoid data
disaster. In the block chain technology environment
to do a good job of network information security
technology prevention. Blockchain technology has no
central structure. Rational application can effectively
improve the data security of the database storage
nodes of the government, the military and various
industries, and prevent the data loss caused by the
catastrophic collapse of a single node. But once the
system is cracked, and hidden as one of the data
nodes, it is very likely to occur irreparable
comprehensive data disaster. Therefore, the
application of blockchain technology at the same
time, but also put forward more severe challenges to
the network security technology. In the short term, it
is recommended to conduct periodic offline data
backup in case of accidents.
Fifth, issue digital RMB and eliminate
intermediate settlement. From the perspective of
national economic development, it is suggested that
the application of block chain technology should be
actively planned and the international digital RMB
should be issued as soon as possible. Thus, a foreign
exchange settlement mechanism without
intermediaries can be established in the international
monetary business. This will help to overthrow the
hegemony of the US dollar and subvert the empire of
the US dollar, so as to gain certain advantages in the
subsequent financial wars between China and the US.
Sixth, the standardization of shared data structure
has a long way to go and should be started as soon as
possible. Should stand in the height of the world
pattern, should as soon as possible for China's
upcoming blockchain technology upgrade of the
industry data structure standardization and unified
planning. The work in this area is urgent and the
Research on Blockchain-Based Strategic Management Innovation of Emergency Resource Supply Chain
225
workload is huge. It requires both keeping in mind
China's national conditions and planning from a
global perspective to consider future overseas
services in advance.
Seventh, increase investment in directional basic
scientific research and reserve post-block chain
technology. On the application of blockchain
technology, universities and research institutions
cannot be absent. And in the application of the
existing blockchain technology, the corresponding
blockchain security technology, as well as post-
blockchain technology research should be timely
followed up. Therefore, in the blockchain related
technology, universities and scientific research
institutions should be timely increased investment in
research and development.
Eighth, make compensation policy, tear down
data wall. Blockchain technology will break the data
barriers of several original information monopolies
and affect the interests of some enterprises and
individuals, such as the existing literature database
companies. Therefore, the government should give
full consideration to the issue of benefit redistribution
in the application of blockchain technology, and
formulate corresponding compensation policies. Data
monopoly enterprises have played a great role in
promoting the development of China's database in the
past, but the conflict with the blockchain strategy may
hinder the country's economic and social
development in the future. Therefore, the count-down
data wall should be pushed to develop a higher level
of data sharing form.
4 SOLUTIONS ON EMERGENCY
SUPPLY CHAIN
MANAGEMENT BY
BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY
First, it is suggested to build an emergency resource
management platform. It is suggested to increase
capital investment and make use of the existing cloud
computing platform to carry out real-time monitoring
of all kinds of emergency material reserves and
production conditions in the jurisdiction. This is
because the operation of the blockchain-based
resource management system cannot be realized
under the stand-alone system, and the operation
requirements of the emergency resource management
system can only be met through cloud computing,
cloud storage and other services based on the cloud
platform.
Second, push block chain technology applications
and improve the government emergency management
efficiency will block chain technology applied in
emergency resource management, the emergency
resources supply chain information spread by P2P
sharing emergency resource management for the
government in the form of subject, add block chain
system coordinate business subject regulation and
common decision-making, enhance the accuracy of
decision-making of supply chain, Solve the bullwhip
effect of purchasing and inventory in traditional
emergency resource management.
Third, formulate policies to encourage trading
information technology application block chain,
trading information using open transparent
characteristics of block chain technology, all kinds of
emergency resources production enterprises and
supplies reserve unit priority implementation block
chain technology application, use of emergency
resources management platform, the transaction
information, logistics information, production
information encryption of all Shared.
Fourth, the government promote the emergency
resources logistics new technology application,
combined with block chain radio frequency tracking
technology and modern logistics technology, applied
to all kinds of emergency resources production
enterprises and stockpiles, track all emergency
supplies, determine the government, enterprises,
material use, the three parties for emergency supplies
logistics is completely transparent, can effectively
prevent emergency supplies trapped.
5 CONCLUSION
In this paper, A research on Blockchain Technology
Management Innovation of Emergency Resource
Supply Chain was presented. Under the epidemic
situation, emergency supply chain adjustment in
Fujian is becoming a problem that must be paid
attention to in the subsequent economic development.
After in-depth investigation and analysis of the
problem, the research team proposed several
measures to promote the construction of blockchain-
related infrastructure as soon as possible and to build
a blockchain-based emergency resource supply chain
management system, including: the construction of
emergency resource management platform; Promote
the application of blockchain technology to enhance
the effectiveness of government emergency
management; Formulate policies to encourage the use
of blockchain technology for trading information;
The government promotes the application of new
