Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon - Vol 2 Chapter 541
Chapter 541
In 1998, Chinese cities have entered the era of bottled water. Each city has its own bottled water company. Industrialized water purification technology has become more popular in China.
In developed countries, household water purifiers have entered thousands of households. The only problem is the size of the water purifier.
Due to technical and material limitations, the household water purifiers at that time had a relatively large system and weight, and the price was relatively high, and the filter element had to be replaced regularly.
At that time, labor costs were relatively low in China. The water delivery workers delivered bottled water to the door, but they only charged a few cents in labor costs. In this calculation, the cost of replacing the filter element of a household water purifier was higher than the cost of hiring people. Send bottled water.
Therefore, for a long time, household water purifiers are not popular, and people are still used to using bottled water.
However, Li Weidong still laid out the industry ahead of time, seized the market opportunity first, and let Puppy Electric develop a household water purifier.
The so-called “research and development” is actually still a doctrine. There are already mature domestic water dispenser technologies in foreign countries, and there are many different brands and product categories. Just copy and imitate them directly.
According to Li Weidong’s plan, Mr. Ge will be asked to shoot an advertisement for a water purifier, and then as the advertisement is broadcast, the household water purifier will be put on the market, and the water will be tested first.
However, the plan was not able to keep up with the changes. Seeing that the soldiers fighting the flood and disaster relief did not have clean water to drink, they could only drink the boiled “mud soup”. Li Weidong immediately decided to transport all the water purifiers to the front line of flood control to ensure flood resistance. Soldiers on the front line can have a sip of clean water to drink.
Li Weidong gave an order, and Puppy Appliance immediately started to move. Thousands of water purifiers and a batch of diesel generators were not transported to the front line of flood control.
…
Jiangzuo Levee, with the peak of this wave passing, He Xinjun’s Second Regiment can finally take a breather temporarily.
In the camp, many soldiers wore wet clothes and fell into the mud and fell asleep.
Cooking class, Squad leader Hong set up the cauldron and raised the diesel stove, intending to boil a pot of hot water first.
Due to the flood, the supply of gas, water and electricity was completely interrupted. Due to continuous rains, there was no dry wood for fire.
Fortunately, in the army, the supply of diesel is relatively sufficient, so diesel stoves can be used to make fires, and diesel generators can also be used to maintain electricity supply for lighting and communications.
Not far away, two cooking squad soldiers came over with buckets.
“Squad leader, water is coming!” The soldier wiped the sweat from his head.
Squad leader Hong hurried forward, looked down at the water in the bucket, and frowned suddenly.
“The flood peaks have passed, why is the water still so muddy?” Squad leader Hong said with some dissatisfaction.
“Squad leader, this is the cleanest. We hit the top level of water, and after hitting it, it took a long time to settle before we dared to pour it into the bucket.” The soldier said.
Hongban sighed for a long time. He also knew that his fighters had tried their best, and it was impossible to get clean water at this time.
“Leave it for twenty minutes first, then let it settle! Let the water be as clear as possible.” Squad leader Hong said.
At this moment, the Chief Secretary came over with a small cart on which there were several cardboard boxes.
“Old Hong, come and help!” the Chief Secretary shouted.
Squad leader Hong hurried up with the soldiers from the cooking squad to help carry the boxes.
“Chief Secretary, what is this?” Squad leader Hong asked.
“Look at it for yourself! It says on the box!” said the Chief Secretary, and began to move the box.
Squad leader Hong looked down, and the words were really printed on the box.
“Doggy home water purifier?” Squad leader Hong blinked his eyes blankly.
“Yes, it’s a water purifier. I just sent it. The others are still in the car. I will bring a few to try. This thing doesn’t work.” The chief secretary pointed to the tent of the cooking class, and then said: ” The diesel generators are all turned on, connected to the electricity, and then bring the water.”
Under the command of the chief secretary, the cooking squad took out the water purifier, connected it to electricity, and then connected the muddy water to the water inlet to start the machine.
The water purifier started, and in the blink of an eye, clean water came out of the water outlet.
“It’s Shimizu, it’s really Shimizu!” A soldier in the cooking class exclaimed excitedly.
Squad leader Hong hurriedly took an enamel tea mug, took a small half glass of water, took a sip, and then started to chirp.
“Squad leader, how is it?” the little soldier next to him asked.
“It really doesn’t have any earthy flavor!” Squad leader Hong said.
“I will try it too.” The little soldier stretched out his hand grinning.
“Wait, let the chief secretary taste it first.” Squad leader Hong handed the tea mug to the chief secretary.
The Chief Secretary first took a look and found that there were indeed no impurities in the water, and then he also took a sip, and also carefully savored it.
“There is really no smell of soil, it’s clean water!” A ray of joy appeared on the Chief Secretary’s face.
“Great, we have clean water to drink, and finally don’t have to drink mud soup!” Squad leader Hong said.
The chief secretary said, “Squad leader Hong, quickly boil a pot of this clean water and send it to the sanitation team. There are many sick people on the sanitation team. Those with fever and diarrhea must be allowed to take medicine with clean water! ”
…
In the tent of the regiment headquarters, He Xinjun was lying on a camp bed, Xiao Han.
“Old He, I brought you something good!” He Xinjun was awakened by a voice. He opened his eyes and saw that it was political commissar Li in the regiment who had returned.
After this peak, Political Commissar Li went to the division for a meeting to listen to the deployment of the next task, while He Xinjun continued to hold on to the embankment to deal with emergencies.
I saw political commissar Li took out a box of Banlangen granules from his bag and said, “This is what the chief of staff secretly gave me Banlangen granules. This is a good thing, it can prevent colds! You have been exhausted in the past two days. , Hurry up and get a bag.”
Political Commissar Li said that he took the cup, then took the thermos bottle and started adding water.
“Huh?” A suspicious voice came from Political Commissar Li. He asked, “When will the supply of tap water in Jiangzuo City resume?”
“The tap water supply is restored? Why don’t I know?” He Xinjun jumped off the camp bed.
“Look, this water is clear! There is no mud in it. The logistics side provides us with clear water, which shows that the supply of tap water in Jiangzuo is restored.” Political commissar Li said.
“No? I also received a call in the morning, saying that a group is driving an assault boat to rescue the victims! The electricity is also repairing, and the water plant should not be restored so quickly, right? And I didn’t listen. Say, send clear water from the logistics side.” He Xinjun said.
“But this water is indeed clear!” Political Commissar Li took a sip, and then said; “There is no earthy smell, don’t believe you try it.”
He Xinjun took the water cup and took a closer look. It was indeed clear water. Then he tasted it, and there was indeed no earthy smell. ”
“What’s going on?” He Xinjun frowned, and then shouted: “Xiao Zhang, come in!”
Xiao Zhang was a guard of the regiment headquarters. He ran in after the regiment leader called himself.
“Xiao Zhang, where did this clear water come from?” He Xinjun asked.
“Report to the head of the delegation, report to the political commissar, Shimizu was sent by the cooking class.” Xiao Zhang replied.
“Where did the cooking class get the water?” He Xinjun asked next.
“It is said that I got a water purifier, which can purify the muddy water into clean water.” Xiao Zhang’s voice paused, and then said; “Head, don’t worry, hundreds of water purifiers have been sent this time. All commanders and fighters in the regiment can drink water.”
“The logistics side didn’t say to send a water purifier! Old Li, do you know this?” He Xinjun looked at Political Commissar Li in confusion.
Political Commissar Li shook his head: “I just came back from my teacher, I definitely don’t know!”
“Where did this water purifier come from?” He Xinjun asked.
“It is said that it was donated by a kind company. I don’t know who sent it.” Xiao Zhang paused, and then said; “I think the Chief Secretary may know that he just came here just now, as if to report work. Yes, seeing you are asleep, let me leave you alone.”
“Then call the chief secretary.” He Xinjun said immediately.
…
After the Chief Secretary came, He Xinjun asked and understood the reason.
He Xinjun learned that the water purifiers were all sent by Li Weidong, and there are still a lot of them. On average, one can be evenly distributed in each class.
Of course, there is no diesel generator in the class, so all the water purifiers are now concentrated in the cooking class of each company.
“Old Ho, it’s a good thing to be able to drink clean water! Because of this drinking problem, many soldiers in the regiment have started to have diarrhea. As the saying goes, heroes can’t stand a lot of water. Now there is clean water. Unnecessary attrition will be much less.” Political Commissar Li said happily.
He Xinjun frowned, and then said, “Old Li, I want to discuss something for you. I want to send all these water purifiers to temporary resettlement sites for the victims.
The water supply has not been restored, and there is no clean water at all. What we drink here is mud soup, and the people in the temporary settlement are the same as us, and they drink mud soup.
All of us in the army are young and strong guys. They are strong, drink some mud soup and have a few stomach diarrhea, and come back and take a rest. But many of the resettlement sites are old and weak women and children, and their bones are not so good!
I think the people in the resettlement sites need these water purifiers more than we do, so we should send these water purifiers so that the people in the resettlement sites can drink clean water. ”
Political commissar Li nodded immediately: “Lao He, I support you. We are the people’s soldiers. Without the people, how can we be! These water purifiers should be sent to the resettlement point for the people to use.”
He Xinjun then said; “That’s OK, things are set. However, the patient on the health team must also be taken care of. The patient must not be allowed to use mud soup to drink medicine.
Well, let’s leave 20 water purifiers for use by the sanitation team. All others will be loaded on the trucks and sent to the temporary resettlement sites for the victims. ”
…
As a senior reporter of “Focus Talk”, Kong Zhenlong has become accustomed to appearing in various places that bring personal danger.
This time, Kong Zhenlong appeared on the front line of the disaster area again. Although he was almost washed away by the flood once again, he also got the most authentic information on the front line of flood fighting.
In a temporary resettlement site for the victims, Kong Zhenlong showed his CCTV press card, and then smoothly entered the resettlement site.
This is not the first time Kong Zhenlong has entered the temporary resettlement site of the disaster-affected people. He has interviewed several resettlement sites before, and every interview will have a lot of moving topics.
Kong Zhenlong started the interview, and soon he found several typical examples that could be used for key reports.
They were all trapped people. When the flood came, they had no time to evacuate. They had to climb on the roof to resign themselves to their fate. Then they were rescued by soldiers of the People’s Liberation Army in an assault boat and came to this temporary settlement.
An old man was talking sensually, holding a tub, drifting with the water, and then being rescued by the People’s Liberation Army. When a soldier of the People’s Liberation Army took off his life jacket and put it on himself, the old man couldn’t help it. Tears were left.
This is another touching story. Kong Zhenlong feels that this interview is absolutely qualified to appear in the “Focus Talk” program.
“Reporter Kong, drink water.” The village cadre in charge of this temporary resettlement site handed over a water glass.
“Thank you.” Kong Zhenlong took the water glass and glanced subconsciously, only to find that it was filled with water.
Kong Zhenlong said immediately: “It seems that the relief supplies are already in place! The speed is really fast. I remember this temporary resettlement site has just been established, and there will be mineral water to drink right away.”
The village cadre replied: “The materials are only part of it, but not many, barely enough for today. As for this water, it’s really not mineral water.”
“Not mineral water? Why is it so clear? As far as I know, since the flood of water came, the water sources in many nearby counties have been contaminated, and there is no clean water at all. After I interviewed this way, I also drank it. A lot of mud soup.” Kong Zhenlong said.
The village cadre smiled triumphantly, and said, “Reporter Kong, we have a water purifier here. It turns out that the yellow mud soup is filtered in the water purifier and it becomes clean water.”
“There is such a good thing!” Kong Zhenlong suddenly became interested.
“Reporter Kong, if you are interested, I will take it.” The village cadres also showed off, so they took Kong Zhenlong to the water supply point of the resettlement point.
I saw dozens of water purifiers running continuously, and clear water was constantly flowing out of the water purifiers.
“Such a small, it should be a household water purifier. There is no such product on the market, right? It is available abroad, but the price is quite expensive. Such a temporary resettlement site, where do you get so many household water purifiers?”
Kong Zhenlong traveled north and south all day, and he immediately recognized those who had seen the world. These were expensive household water purifiers sold abroad.
“Where did these water purifiers come from?” Kong Zhenlong asked immediately.
“Sent from the army, it is said that it is a kind corporate donation.” The village cadre replied.
Kong Zhenlong immediately checked the brand of water purifier.
“Puppy water purifier? Are these products donated by Puppy Group?” Kong Zhenlong took a deep breath. Years of interview experience told him that this can definitely make an in-depth and detailed report!
