Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Zhao Jinshan had obviously never heard of the word "smog", so he asked: "Smog? Which haze?"

"Haze" means the prefix "rain", below..." Li Weidong also forgot to write "haze" when he picked up his pen. He couldn't think of how to write "haze" for a while.

Who in the right mind can remember how to write the word "haze"?

So Li Weidong simply changed his voice and said: "Smog is a combination of fog and haze. You must be familiar with fog. It is small water droplets suspended in the air. As for haze, it refers to particles suspended in the air.

Compounds including dust, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, organic hydrocarbons, etc.

These suspended particles can originally fall to the ground, but when combined with fog, they will remain floating in the atmosphere, affecting air quality and human health."

"Is this thing still harmful to health?" Zhao Jinshan asked subconsciously.

"The main components of haze are harmful substances emitted into the atmosphere during human industrial production, as well as certain exhaust gases emitted by automobiles. Inhaling them into the body will naturally have an impact on human health."

Li Weidong paused and then said: "If nothing else, inhaling harmful gases will definitely cause damage to the respiratory system, causing diseases such as pharyngitis, emphysema, asthma, rhinitis, bronchitis, etc. In addition, there is no haze.

It will affect the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems, blood systems, and reproductive systems.”

"No wonder I've had pharyngitis again recently! It turns out it's all caused by the smog you mentioned." Zhao Jinshan nodded with enlightenment, and then said: "It seems that I have to go to Sanya to stay for a while, where

The air here is much better than in the north.”

Li Weidong continued: "Puppy Electric is developing a new type of home air purifier, which is specially designed for haze weather. When the product is released, I will send you dozens of them."

…

In 2006, few people in China knew the word "haze", and people at that time called it "rare dense fog." This time, "haze" was only mentioned briefly in expert reports.

And because haze has had an impact on people's daily lives, such as reduced visibility, highway closures, flight delays, traffic incidents, etc., the media has also begun to pay attention to haze.

But at that time, people's focus was still on the traffic impact caused by smog. People were not yet aware that smog could harm their health.

After the autumn of 2006, severe smog appeared in the Shanshan and Shaanxi regions. After winter, the smog entered the Hebei region. By the beginning of 2007, there were consecutive smog days in Beijing.

In 2007, Japanese environmentalists began to protest against China's smog drifting to Japan. It was also in this year that foreign media began to hype China's smog. With the reports of foreign media, it was only then that China began to take the smog seriously.

Due to the haze, domestic experts have also begun to study the impact of haze.

Also in 2007, the U.S. Embassy began monitoring PM2.5 data in Beijing.

In the months before the 2008 Olympics, many polluting companies in the north shut down operations to ensure air conditions during the Olympics. The Beijing Olympics were held in clear skies, but many American athletes wore masks to participate in the Olympics. Foreign media also used

This hyped up a wave of air pollution in China.

In the same year, the U.S. Embassy began to publish Beijing’s PM2.5 data, making it clear that something was going on.

In 2009, the Chinese began to pay attention to the data from the U.S. Embassy. Words such as PM2.5, PM10, fine particles, and aerosols were gradually recognized by the common people.

Up to this stage, domestic views on smog are still controversial. Some people believe that it is urgent to control air pollution. But there are still many people who believe that smog is just a thicker fog that disperses when the wind blows.

The impact has been too great, and environmental experts are just looking for trouble.

In 2010, Xinhua News Agency published an article reminding the public that smog may pose a health threat. Views on smog are no longer controversial. People clearly know that smog is harmful to health. At the same time, experts began to recommend that people go out as little as possible in hazy weather.

Wear a mask when going out.

In 2011, PM2.5 was officially included in China's air quality indicators; in 2012, PM2.5 monitoring stations were set up in major cities across the country.

In 2013, "smog" became the keyword of the year. This was also the most serious year of smog in China. Nearly half of the country was shrouded in smog. There were only four non-smog days in Beijing in a year.

In 2014, haze was included in the list of natural disasters and was notified. The country also began to control haze with an iron fist.

From 2005 to 2014, it took ten years for the haze to seriously affect people's lives. During this period, many people did get sick due to the haze, such as pharyngitis, bronchitis, asthma, and even lung cancer.

increase in magnitude.

But in the past ten years, air purifiers have become more popular every year!

In many northern cities with serious pollution, air purifiers have even become standard equipment for urban households.

As early as 2004, Li Weidong asked Puppy Electric to start developing air purifiers. The last time he met an environmental protection organization, it gave Li Weidong a warning.

So Li Weidong decided to increase investment in the research and development of air purifiers and strive to develop a world-leading air purifier as soon as possible.

…

Green Warriors Organization Headquarters. Zhao Liang was called to the office again by Director Wang.

"Director Zhao, I have a task for you to do next. Recently, there has been a large area of ​​dense fog in northern China. This must be caused by air pollution. However, the people in the mainland have not realized this yet.

At one point, they thought it was just an ordinary heavy fog.

So we are going to conduct on-the-spot investigations and then make a few reports to tell everyone that these are not ordinary heavy smogs, but hazes caused by pollution. This haze contains a large amount of harmful gases, which can harm people's health.

It's harmful to your health!" Director Wang said.

Zhao Liang nodded: "Okay, I will immediately send someone to investigate and interview. I will also collect relevant information on the health hazards of haze."

Director Wang handed another form to Zhao Liang, and then said: "This is the budget for this investigation. Compared with previous investigations, this budget is relatively sufficient."

Zhao Liang looked at the budget figures and found that they were indeed much more than usual, so he asked: "Which foundation was so generous this time and provided so much funds?"

"It's an environmental protection organization in Europe." Director Wang said.

"Would European environmental organizations be so kind and start to care about China's air pollution? They must be taking this opportunity to make a big fuss!" Zhao Liang said.

Director Wang answered: "It is certain to make a big fuss, but as far as I know, the European environmental protection organizations are just middlemen, and the real investors are several large European companies. They seem to be very interested in the issue of air pollution.

"

…

"According to the Central Meteorological Observatory, according to FY-1D meteorological satellite monitoring, heavy foggy weather has occurred in Gansu Longdong, central and northern Shaanxi, most of Shanxi, central and eastern Hebei, Tianjin and other places, especially in the valleys and valleys of Shaanxi and Shanxi and

The foggy weather is severe in the plain areas of eastern Hebei, with visibility less than 1,000 meters.

In addition, there is a small amount of low cloud coverage over Longdong, northern Shanxi, and eastern Hebei. It is estimated that the area affected by the fog area is about 218,000 square kilometers. Heavy foggy weather has adverse effects on aviation, railway and highway transportation in the above areas.

.”

Looking at the news being broadcast on the TV, Li Weidong thought for a moment, then picked up his cell phone and dialed Wang Jiuyang's phone number.

"Jiuyang, how is the development progress of the air purifier?" Li Weidong asked.

"Chairman, don't worry, the research and development is going very smoothly, I've been keeping an eye on it!" Wang Jiuyang said.

"We still have to speed up the progress. The shape must be finalized before New Year's Day, and a batch should be produced immediately after New Year's Day, and it must be put into the market before the Spring Festival." Li Weidong then ordered.

"According to the current progress, it will definitely be no problem to officially put into production after New Year's Day." Wang Jiuyang replied.

After ending the call with Wang Jiuyang, Li Weidong dialed Zhong Yemao's number again.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Li Weidong asked: "Lao Zhong, are there any environmental experts you are familiar with?"

"Yes!" Zhong Yemao then asked: "Chairman, are there any projects that require environmental protection experts to stand up?"

"This is not a platform, but I hope environmental experts can stand up and educate the common people about the harm caused by air pollution, especially the harm caused to the human body." Li Weidong said.

"Speaking of air pollution, I remembered one thing." Zhong Yemao continued: "Recently, some overseas media are also paying attention to our domestic air pollution situation."

Li Weidong frowned: "Overseas media? They are taking the opportunity to cause trouble again!"

"I don't think so. In addition to reporting on air pollution, overseas media also introduced the harm that air pollution can do to the body. It looks like a popular science article." Zhong Yemao replied.

"Publishing science on the dangers of air pollution? This doesn't seem like something they would do!" Li Weidong then asked: "Is there any exaggeration?"

"I looked for a few articles and read them. The description of air pollution is indeed exaggerated. For example, the British "Daily Mail" said that due to air pollution, ordinary people can only crowd in Tiananmen Square to watch the sun.

It was posted with a photo. But we all know that those people came to watch the flag-raising ceremony."

Zhong Yemao continued: "But the reports that air pollution harms health should be true. They have cited many published scientific research results."

"European and American countries have been studying air pollution for decades, and they have accumulated a lot of mature results." Li Weidong paused, and then said: "I hope that the domestic media can also pay attention to air pollution, so that my new

The air purifier developed can have good sales."

"Chairman Li, you asked me to find an environmental protection expert because you wanted to sell air purifiers, right?" Zhong Yemao said.

Li Weidong smiled cheekily: "The main thing is that I hope the country can pay attention to air pollution and control it earlier. Selling air purifiers is just a side trip!"

"Okay, I understand. I'm going to find a few experts to write some articles about the health hazards of air pollution, and then create momentum in the media to scare the people first!" Zhong Yemao replied.

…

A dinner party was being held at a luxury hotel in Brussels, Belgium, attended by many executives from European companies.

Ke Cilei held a wine glass and walked among the crowd, saying hello and exchanging pleasantries with the people next to him from time to time.

Ke Cilei used to be the head of Philips Asia, but now he has been transferred back to the European headquarters, which can be regarded as a promotion.

Not far away, a handsome middle-aged man slightly raised his glass to Ke Cilei. Upon seeing this, Ke Cilei immediately walked over.

This handsome man is Hermann, the head of Siemens' home appliances department, and is an old acquaintance of Ke Cilei.

I saw the two of them holding wine glasses, walking to a corner, and then started talking in a low voice.

"Mr. Ke Cilei, have you read the newspaper recently? You should have noticed the news about air pollution in China?" Herman asked with a smile.

"It seems that our money has not been wasted!" Ke Cilei paused and then said: "So far, our plan is going very smoothly. Next, we will heat up the topic of air pollution and make the Chinese people aware

Yes, air pollution can cause serious health damage to the body!”

"Yes, nothing is more important than good health! As long as Chinese people are afraid of smog and worried about threats to their health, they will buy our air purifiers!"

Herman continued: "China has a population of more than one billion and is a huge market. Even if only 1% of households buy air purifiers, that is tens of millions of sales, which can bring in tens of billions of dollars."

production value!”

"We in Europe have gone through a period of serious air pollution, and air purifiers can only be sold to Asia." Ke Cilei continued:

"I have spent many years in Asia and have some understanding of the situation there. Developing economies in Asia are generally unaware of the problem of air pollution, and the measures they have taken to combat air pollution are also very limited.

As for our European countries, we have been studying air pollution for decades, and the performance of our home air purifiers is several times higher than that of Asian countries. Once put into the Chinese market, it will definitely sell well."

"Yes, according to our experience in pollution control in Germany, it will take at least forty or fifty years to completely clean up the smog. That is to say, in the next forty or fifty years, our air purifiers will

It can be a hot seller in the Chinese market!" Herman smiled and took a sip of the champagne in his hand.

"Forty to fifty years, haha, the premise is that the Chinese people are willing to make up their minds to control air pollution! If it is just a facade, the haze problem will not be controlled in a hundred years." Ke Cilei said with a sneer.

"Wouldn't that be better! If we can't control the smog in a hundred years, then our air purifiers can sell well in the Chinese market for a hundred years!" Herman also showed a proud expression.
