Chapter 1329 1312. The Water Problem (35)

After all, it finally came to the mineral water plant.

Wang Bo shook his head and said: "If it is a mineral water plant, it will definitely involve a profit issue. I don't want to rely on it for profit, but simply serve the townspeople and improve everyone's sense of happiness."

That Qingyang raised his head and said: "Boss, I have to say that you are a very good leader, but not a smart leader."

"What's the meaning?"

"You want to improve everyone's happiness? But how does happiness come from? It comes from comparison. You don't have breakfast, I have a hamburger for breakfast, and then I am happier than you. You ride a bicycle, I drive a car, then I Happier than you, right?"

Wang Bo nodded and said, "I understand what you mean. You mean, like the products of the ranch, they should be put on the market first to raise their value, and then the price will be lowered in the town, right?"

That Qingyang said: "Yes, that's what it means."

Hani immediately waved his hand: "No, this is different. I bet the boss must have thought about it, but this trick can't be used on springs, because New Zealand has anti-unfair competition laws for industry and commerce."

Then Qingyang said: "I voluntarily supply low prices in a certain area, is this considered unfair competition?"

Haney said: "It doesn't count, but if you refuse to supply a product to other regions, it will be easy to get a lawsuit. Simply put, the mineral water we produce can be sold for ten yuan a bottle in other places and the sales are good, then If you take the mineral water off the shelves outside the store and sell it locally for two yuan a bottle, you will be sued.”

"Beef and mutton are different, because we have been selling them in other regions and even foreign countries, and the supply is plentiful. What about mineral water? As you can see, it is difficult to even supply our town."

That Qingyang was stunned, and said: "New Zealand has such a strange regulation."

Hani helplessly spread his hands and said, "This is a magical country, A, welcome to this magical country, haha."

Wang Bo said: "The censor is right. I've thought about it. This trick won't work. However, this water is really good. We can make it hardcover and give it to some friends to build its reputation."

The motion was unanimously passed. After the meeting, Haney said, "Boss, after the production line is established, remember to send me a few barrels first. I think the spring water is better."

The spring water must be delicious. Now all the offices of the town government get drinking water from Lingquan. For this reason, Wang Bo also bought a small water truck, which is driven every day to fetch water.

Wang Bo didn't want to build an industrialized production line in the town, so he asked Bowen to contact the water company, and then obtained some simple water-taking equipment.

These devices are divided into three types according to the way of water intake: self-irrigating type, suction type, and semi-ground type. The methods are different and have different advantages and disadvantages.

Self-priming water dispensing units require a cistern or tank, only if the lowest water level in it is always above the center of the pump outlet and there is enough water for the pump to draw.

Suction-type water intake equipment also requires a reservoir or a water tank. This requires that the highest water level in it is always lower than the center of the water inlet of the pump. The pump must be filled with water when pumping, and a negative pressure tank is used to draw water.

Semi-ground water intake equipment has the lowest requirements. No matter whether the water level of the water source is higher than the water pump outlet or lower than the water pump outlet, it can take water out. However, the operation of this kind of equipment is complicated, and the water pump needs to be cleaned frequently, otherwise it is easy to accumulate water and breed bacteria. .

Wang Bo asked Bao Wen to decide what kind of equipment to choose. This is not a big deal, as long as there is no pollution. At worst, we should adopt the method of the hometown, find a water truck, drive it to the town to deliver water, and pump water out when we arrive at someone's house.

Having just dealt with the town's spring water supply, another problem arose about water.

In late October, an amoeba accident broke out in hot spring water in Dunedin, New Zealand, and two people died!

New Zealand is a country rich in geothermal heat. There are hot springs of all sizes from the North Island to the South Island. In the cold winter, it is a pleasant and happy thing to soak in the steaming natural hot springs and enjoy the beautiful scenery of New Zealand. .

Sunset Town also has hot springs, and you can eat stone-roasted beef and mutton in the hot spring pools. This is a feature of the town's tourism industry. In the past winter, the hot springs were crowded with people every day.

The problem was in the hot springs. In late October, Dunedin Central Hospital received several patients with strange encephalitis. These people initially had severe headaches, high fever, and projectile vomiting, which were thought to be brain tumors.

However, the disease develops very quickly. It didn’t take long for these people to develop epilepsy symptoms. The hospital found that it was not good, but the response ability of New Zealand hospitals was not fast. Their advantage is universal medical care and a strong medical security system, not the response of the hospital. Speed ​​and fighting power.

When Wang Bo first came to New Zealand, he discovered that the Chinese medical system, which has been questioned in China, is quite famous in New Zealand's medical industry, especially when the SARS virus was born more than ten years ago, if an epidemic of this scale broke out in New Zealand Ill, I guess they all perished...

After the hospital discovered that the patient's condition had changed, it did not organize expert consultation, but continued to carry out routine treatment. In the end, unfortunately, two of the hospitalized patients died.

The incident became so serious that the hospital finally started to take it seriously. They dissected the dead man's brain and found that the brain had severe edema. After further inspection, a terrible microorganism was discovered.

Amoeba!

This is one of the simplest life in nature. Due to different living environments, amoebas can be divided into enamoebas and free-living amoebas. The former parasitizes humans and animals, and the latter lives in water and soil. Occasionally invades animal organisms.

Entamoeba histolytica of the Amoeba genus is known to cause amoebic dysentery and liver abscess, while Naegleria and Acanthamoeba mainly cause meningoencephalitis, keratitis, oral infection and skin lesions wait.

And what was found in the dead man's brain was one of the scariest of them all, Naegleria fowleri.

This amoeba can invade the nerve center and cause meningitis, and the fatality rate of this disease is almost 100%. Since its discovery, less than ten patients with the disease have been rescued worldwide.

After the amoeba was discovered, the hospital was stunned. Now there are still four patients lying in the Dunedin Central Hospital. In theory, they have been sentenced to death.

The four patients have now been sent to Auckland for ambulance. Although the possibility of survival is slim, they must not be left to die.

In addition, the Dunedin police were all dispatched to search for the life trajectories of several patients in the past half month and finally found that they had appeared together in a hot spring.
