Before returning to China, Li Manjun took Long Hao and Li Wei to the headquarters of Toyo Company for a visit and study.
Toyo Company has developed very maturely in waste classification, processing and recycling.
They set up their own incineration power plant separately, using the thermal energy from waste incineration to generate electricity. The income from selling electricity every year is very considerable, not only utilizing waste energy, but also creating new value.
However, employees of Toyo Company said regretfully: "Incineration power generation will produce a large amount of waste gas, which has caused a lot of trouble to the surrounding villages. Therefore, in another year, this incineration power plant will be closed. Our company plans to switch to clean energy."
.”
This is why their company sent out bidding invitations to recycling companies around the world this year.
Incineration power plants are closed, and large amounts of waste cannot be processed, so the only option is to export it.
Because once the incineration plant stops, the entire waste screening chain will be interrupted, so the garbage handed over to Greenman Company is all first-level waste. As for how the remaining third-level waste will be treated after Greenman has finished screening, it has nothing to do with their company.
.
How can I put it this way, while Li Manjun Company reaps profit returns, it also brings a burden to the overall domestic environment.
It’s just that the country can still bear such a burden, so the country allows the import of foreign garbage.
In the final analysis, the overall strength is still slightly behind, so we accept any job.
And this is also a mountain that cannot be jumped directly on the road of development. We can only climb it step by step and overtake in corners to catch up with developed countries.
Li Manjun looked at the towering chimney not far away with billowing smoke and asked curiously:
"As far as I know, your power plant equipment has been put into use since the mid-1980s, and it has been exactly ten years now."
The employees of Toyo Company nodded, "Yes, when it was first designed, the plan was to use it for thirty years. I didn't expect that it would stop after only ten years."
Therefore, this equipment can actually be used for another twenty years!
Li Manjun's heart beat two beats faster, suppressing the greed growing crazily in his heart, he asked tentatively:
"Then after the power plant is stopped, will this equipment be left here like this?"
"It will most likely be disposed of and sold to other environmental protection companies or power plants that need it."
Hearing this, Li Manjun's heart became even hotter, "Can I ask out of curiosity, how much does this complete set of second-hand equipment cost?"
The other party shook his head and said he didn't know yet. He only told Li Manjun the initial design and construction cost of this equipment, which was about 30 million.
After all, it is just a small incineration power plant. Compared with those large power generation bases that can cost hundreds of millions, it is still much smaller.
However, the power generation rate of their equipment has reached about 20%, and each ton of garbage processed can generate about 400 kilowatt-hours of electricity. Among the general power generation rates of 10%, it is among the best.
In addition, there are government subsidies for domestic incineration power plants, so the profit margins for building power plants are very large.
Li Manjun is greedy.
But she has no money.
I can only reluctantly look at the tall chimney a few more times, and with the ambition hidden in my heart, board the flight back home.
After being away for half a month, Li Manjun once again set foot on a familiar land, listened to the familiar language around him, and smelled the friendly air around him. Li Manjun felt as if he was in a dream.
But the next challenge didn't give her much time to express her emotions.
After landing at Dongshi Airport and taking out the car in the parking lot, Li Manjun took Long Hao and Li Wei directly to the Dongshi Port Terminal.
There are many companies on the dock that can provide pick-up, unloading, warehousing, and transportation services.
As a foreigner, Li Manjun found it difficult to choose a warehousing company with a suitable price and high level of strength in a short period of time.
Moreover, it is not as convenient as in later generations. Everything can be searched online, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty for Li Manjun and his party.
Li Manjun and two employees acted separately and spent three days investigating, and the result was even more chaotic.
The quotation is in chaos, the company is in chaos, and even the employees are in chaos.
Long Hao and Li Wei met the same salesman respectively, but the salesman recommended them different companies.
Forget it, what's even more outrageous is that the warehouse the salesman took the two people to look at does not belong to either of the two companies he mentioned.
Long Hao and Li Wei looked at each other tiredly, and then both looked at Li Manjun, shaken.
Li Manjun understands the truth. The question is, who should be shaken?
After dinner, Li Manjun lay on the big bed in the hotel, listening to her husband's call and flipping through her phone book to find someone.
"Aren't you coming back yet?" Zhao Yong asked helplessly.
"Time is too tight. It's the New Year's Eve soon. As you know by then, all the businesses will be closed and going home to celebrate the New Year. If I don't get rid of the warehousing problem now, it will be too late by then."
Toyo Company covered the shipping fee, but did not cover the berthing fee. For such a large cargo ship to be parked at the dock, it would have to be charged every day.
"Are you so nervous? The Chinese New Year is not celebrated in February this year." Zhao Yong did not believe in evil, so he sent his daughter, who was sitting on top of his shoe, to help get the small calendar from the TV cabinet.
Nian Nian tilted his head "Huh?" and Zhao Yong pointed at the calendar again. Only then did the little guy react. He stood up and ran over actively to bring the calendar to his father.
Turning over the calendar, it's the end of November, and there's still another month of December and a whole month of January.
The New Year's Eve dinner in 1993 was on February 9, 1994 in the Gregorian calendar. Zhao Yong breathed a sigh of relief, "It's only two months, don't be too nervous."
He remembered that when she won the bid, she made an international long distance call and told him that Toyo Company would not ship until after the year.
However, Zhao Yong apparently forgot that not all humans around the world celebrate the Spring Festival.
Li Manjun said helplessly: "People say that the New Year is based on the Gregorian calendar, but it is not our lunar calendar. Not everyone celebrates the Spring Festival and watches the Spring Festival Gala."
"Ah?" Zhao Yong was surprised: "So we are the only ones celebrating the Spring Festival?"
Li Manjun couldn't help but laugh, "Yes, everyone's New Year falls on New Year's Day."
Zhao Yong clicked his tongue twice, and his knowledge increased again.
"By the way, you have spent all your money now, do you still have money to rent a warehouse and hire people?" Zhao Yong asked worriedly.
Li Manjun hissed in pain and said to the phone: "After the new year, will you ask Mr. Qiu to urge you?"
"Okay, I'll ask, but it's not easy for him to take out one million at once. If you need it urgently, you can pay back part of it first." Zhao Yong discussed.
Li Manjun hummed, "Okay, two to three hundred thousand is enough. The store is still running smoothly, so the labor cost is enough."
These days, the cheapest thing is labor cost.
Zhao Yong held his daughter on his lap and asked her to talk to her mother.
I haven't seen my mother for more than half a month, and I haven't cried every year. I am just more clinging to my grandmother who came here to take care of her. She doesn't need Sister Zhou or her father when she goes to bed at night, only her grandma.
Wang Xiaojuan felt very happy that her grandson was kissing her.
