When Horlock left, it could be said that he was extremely excited. In the next three days, he would go to Tongyi for on-the-spot inspection. During the meeting between the two, Fang Mingyuan spent 70 to 80% of the time listening to Huo Luoke.
Locke is introducing the situation of school buses in the United States.
Although it is not difficult for Fang Mingyuan to find these things, but in that case, how can it be compared to what Horlock told so vividly, and there are countless real-life cases.
Horlock is indeed a bit of a real person. The school bus system in the United States, whether it is history or current situation, each one has its purpose and why it was established. It is clearly stated. For Fang Mingyuan
The question was raised almost as soon as Fang Mingyuan finished speaking, and he could give a clear answer here. Through this exchange with Horlock, Fang Mingyuan had a deeper understanding of the American school bus system. The whole process
Lin Rong, who accompanied him, also recorded the conversation between the two for Fang Mingyuan's future reference.
"Ming Yuan, in my opinion, Hong Kong's school bus system is pretty good. Why do we have to buy American school buses, which are big, bulky and heavy, not only expensive but also have high fuel consumption." Lin Rong said a little puzzled. In Hong Kong,
There is also an active fleet of more than 5,000 school buses, which Hong Kong people call nanny buses. All nanny buses in operation must be registered with the relevant departments and have "school private minibus" and "school private minibus" and "in English" printed on the body.
"Schoolport Light Bus" must go on designated routes in accordance with the regulations of relevant departments. Most of the vehicles used in this school bus team are ordinary vehicles that have been modified. For this reason, the Hong Kong government has also stipulated a
A series of rules to ensure the safety of school bus operations.
Fang Mingyuan shook his head and Su Aijun and the others thought about building a Tongyi school bus based on the Hong Kong school bus model. However, after several considerations, Su Aijun finally rejected the proposal.
Fang Mingyuan also agreed with Su Aijun's decision. On the roads in China, there are not only many road killers, but also many vehicles that are overloaded, speeding, drivers who are tired, do not respect traffic rules, and have indifferent safety awareness. In many cities,
Here, large trucks run rampant. As far as Fang Mingyuan knows, these shortcomings did not fundamentally change even before his death in his previous life. In this environment, ordinary vehicles cannot guarantee the safety of many children in the school bus.
Safety! In this way, once an accident occurs, it will be more tragic.
"Hong Kong's traffic environment is not something that China can catch up with in a short time. From a safety perspective, reinforced school buses like those in the United States are more in line with our needs." Fang Mingyuan said, "In the future, maybe one day,
As the domestic transportation environment improves, we no longer need these reinforced school buses."
Lin Rong clapped her hands, sorted out the conversation records, and said with a smile: "Forget it, Young Master Fang has already made up his mind anyway. I just need to do my job according to your orders, which are always correct."
"What do you mean by me who is always right?" Fang Mingyuan said, somewhat dumbfounded.
"Don't you know yet?" Lin Rong said in surprise, "Many people in the company say that about you."
"If I had that ability, could I still be as busy as I am now and almost out of breath?" Fang Mingyuan said angrily, but he felt more vigilant in his heart.
"Listening to these people's nonsense is a waste of time. If you have that time, why not think carefully about how to formulate a school bus usage system in Tongyi and Pingchuan District." Fang Mingyuan said. "You say, Uncle Su and the others
How about inviting this Horlock to serve as a school bus consultant?" Although the relevant departments in Tongyi and Pingchuan District are definitely formulating the school bus usage system, as a donor, Fang Mingyuan does not want everything to go according to them.
.
The total price of one hundred school buses is likely to exceed tens of millions of dollars, but they cannot be smashed without even making a sound. Fang Mingyuan does not expect this "hammer" to be able to smash anything, but it is absolutely not allowed to be silent.
The earth passed away.
In the days that followed, George W. Bush officially took office as President of the United States, and Ariel Sharon, a hard-line figure in Israeli politics, was successfully elected as Prime Minister of Israel... attracting the attention of countless people.
In the world film market, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is still continuing its box office surge. After being released in many countries around the world, its box office exceeded the box office set by "Pirates of the Caribbean" on January 21.
record. However, since the North American market is obviously unable to sustain the success, many critics believe that considering that the movie theater chain is unlikely to give it a long schedule, it is unlikely that it will break the box office record set by "Titanic".
.But even so, Kumho Film Group of Hong Kong and Kingfisher Film Group of the United States still publicly stated that they were very satisfied with the results of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2".
Just before the Spring Festival, a news spread in Tongyi City and Pingchuan District. Tongyi City and Pingchuan District will select several primary and secondary schools in the territory to trial the school bus transportation system for students. If the trial goes well.
, this system will be fully rolled out in kindergartens, primary and secondary schools in Tongyi City and Pingchuan District in the second half of 2001.
As soon as the news spread, everyone immediately started talking about it. Nowadays, most families only have one child. That must be the little emperor or princess in the family. I wish that all the love from the old couple to the young couple, two generations and six people would be devoted to them.
On their bodies. They are really afraid of being frightened when held in their hands, and afraid of melting when held in their mouths. These little emperors and princesses have been sent to and picked up since they were in kindergarten, and some are even sent directly to the school.
high school.
But in the past, both Tongyi and Pingchuan Districts were just one county. The area of the county seat was limited, so picking up and dropping off was nothing. Moreover, at that time, people's work pace was not as fast as it is now, and people were not so concerned about arriving late and leaving early.
However, those whose families live in towns and go to school in the county, most of them can only live on campus.
Now, the urban area and urban population of both places have grown significantly. The distance between where families live, where children go to school, and where parents work is getting farther and farther apart. There are more and more vehicles and pedestrians on the road. Companies
The commuting system in enterprises has also become more complete and strict, and sending children to school has become a headache for parents. If there are retired elderly people in the family, it will be better. If not, picking up children will become a troublesome matter.
.The increasing number of vehicles and reports of children being lost or abducted from time to time also make parents afraid to let their children go on the road alone.
If there is a school bus to pick up and drop off, then of course it is a good thing and can free parents from it.
However, some people hold different opinions. It is certainly a good thing to have school buses to pick up and drop off children, but schools will definitely have to charge more for it. Although Huaxia has always said that it is a nine-year compulsory education, to be honest, this
Over the years, the mess of various fees added up is not a small sum. Although Tongyi and Pingchuan District have exempted primary and secondary students from various fees in recent years, they do not think that in this matter,
It would be great if the government departments would be so generous - they would not increase taxes or charge fees!
If you charge thirty or forty yuan a month to pick up and drop off a child, it would be better to pick him up with your own family. Thirty or forty yuan is still a lot of money for many families in Tongyi and Pingchuan Districts.
Just as people were talking about it, in front of the Tongyi Municipal Party Committee and Government Building, a yellow bus with large black stripes and the eye-catching word "schoolbus" painted on it was parked in the courtyard.
Su Aijun, Zhao Xuan, and the city's main leaders all appeared around the car. There were many people standing in the yard, and everyone was looking at this American-style school bus.
"Secretary Su. This is the D-series school bus produced by our Bergster Automobile Company. It is also the largest one. It is thirteen meters long and can carry 80 primary school students or 50 high school students. More than half of our country's buses are used every year
Students use school buses to go to and from school. According to statistics from authoritative organizations, the number of primary and secondary school students injured every year on school buses is between 7,000 and 10,000..." When Horlock said this, he noticed that many people present had expressions on their faces.
He showed a look of disapproval.
"However, 96% of these injured people have minor injuries. They may not even need to go to the hospital. Only 4% of people will be seriously injured. And the number of primary and secondary school students who ride American school buses die every year
The average number of people over about ten years was twenty-four, and only eight of them died in crashes. The other sixteen died in areas near getting on and off the school bus," Horlock continued, "while other modes of transportation were used to get to and from school.
The number of students is almost the same as them, but the number of people who died in traffic accidents in the past ten years has exceeded 600!"
As the translator loudly translated, there was a small commotion in the crowd. It was obvious that the gap between the two figures was nearly two hundred times, which left a deep impression on everyone present.
"Everyone, all these data can be found in the relevant institutions in our country without much effort. And if the difference between the data I mentioned and the data they have disclosed is more than one percent, okay
, I can publicly apologize to you in your country's newspapers." Horlock said loudly, "I can publicly guarantee here that everyone is welcome to find fault with me."
"Mr. Horlock, please continue!" Su Aijun said with a smile.
"Secretary Su, school buses are different from ordinary buses because students, especially children and elementary school students, are very different in height from adults, and their safety awareness and self-protection ability are also very poor. They take buses designed according to adult standards.
, it is easy to cause safety accidents in traffic accidents due to unreasonable seat size and seat spacing, lack of special safety facilities, etc. Our Bergster Automobile Company has been producing school buses for many years.
We have rich experience in this area. To be precise, this school bus is not completely suitable for students in your country!"
"Huh? How do you say this?" Zhao Xu'an said a little strangely. Most people always praise how good their products are, so there is no reason to say that their products are not suitable.
"This car is a product customized according to the height characteristics of Chinese students. However, compared with children of the same age in our country, there are still certain differences in height and shape between children in your country, so our company is officially requesting your
When selling a vehicle, you must rearrange these facilities in the vehicle according to the height and shape of your children to ensure that no unexpected situations occur." Horlock said, "However, you can rest assured that these modifications are not necessary.
It costs you one cent more."
During the days of inspection in Tongyi, Horlock can be said to be very satisfied with the conditions here. Although one is a car and the other is a truck, they still have a lot in common. In this way, the new enterprise will
Setting up in Tongyi can further reduce production costs. More importantly, during these days in Tongyi, he has a full understanding of the influence of the Fang family here. If we say that Bergster Automobile
If the company can really break through from here and expand its product sales step by step, even if it only holds 30% of the Chinese market, it will almost mean recreating the American market.
This was crucial to Bergster Automobile Company! Therefore, through the U.S. Embassy, he immediately transferred ten school buses produced by Bergster Automobile Company from the United States.
"Mr. Horlock, is this car heavy?" someone shouted loudly in the crowd. This school bus looks like it is very thick.
"Well, it's very heavy, almost sixteen tons!" Horlock replied.
"So heavy?" Someone couldn't help but gasped.
"What's wrong? Is it heavy?" someone asked softly.
"Busses of similar size generally don't weigh more than ten tons. But this one weighs sixteen tons!"
Horlock was still explaining, but people in the crowd were whispering to each other. Everyone understood what the extra six tons meant.
"Secretary Su, everyone, we were actually going to do a crash test on the spot today to show you the robustness of the school bus produced by our Bergster Automobile Company. But here, it is really inconvenient. If anything,
If any gentleman or lady is interested, you can go to the parking lot of your city's bus management center at 12:30 noon to watch." Horlock said loudly, "Finally, I only want to say one thing, and that is to ensure that
The safety of children on the bus not only requires the efforts of our manufacturers to create safer vehicles, but also requires the government departments to formulate reasonable systems. It also requires all drivers to pay attention to school buses at all times when driving on the road.
A heart of 'awe'!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better novels and faster updates!
