Power Plant on-site.
An hour later, the data sent back by the gas observation devices placed above showed no change whatsoever; the gases emitted from the chimney contained no sulfides or other harmful dust particles, only a harmless cloud of gas.
Five hours later, the situation was still the same. If it weren’t for the new additions, he would have thought the monitoring equipment installed earlier had malfunctioned, and the experts became excited.
A day passed with the data remaining unchanged, they nearly raised their glasses in celebration.
Three days later, both the leadership at the Power Plant and the experts had completely trusted this filter; the data wouldn’t lie with so many eyes on it, and falsification was out of the question.
The experimental instruments were all brought by themselves, not provided by the Myanmar Environmental Technology Company, so they couldn’t be wrong.
Outside world.
After waiting three days.
The results inclined many onlookers who were hesitant initially; if they didn’t go now, they had no idea how long the queue would be, especially since the Canadian National Environmental Protection Agency had already made a proposal.
-------All polluting companies must compulsorily install this type of filter or cease operations for restructuring, unless they can achieve ’zero pollution emissions’ standards.
This message.
Received unanimous praise from residents across Canada.
Although Canada is vast and sparsely populated with a great natural environment, that doesn’t stop them from valuing environmental protection, mainly because the media broadcasts in the past few days had been frightening, with dangers highlighted and evidence shown in pictures and reality.
Such a scare.
Their fear was immediately triggered, and everything appeared ’natural.’
...
United States.
New York.
In the meeting room of General Motors.
A group was conducting a remote meeting.
They were major car manufacturers from around the world—Ford, Volkswagen, Toyota, Honda, Peugeot, Fiat, BMW... several car companies had been called together under the guise of cooperation by General Motors.
These car companies.
Despite their fierce competition normally.
But behind the scenes, the big shots were very familiar with each other, some even had cross-shareholdings and shared the same shareholders. Thus, even if they fought tooth and nail usually, it was merely a competition of interests, without ruining the harmony.
When it was time to sit down.
The turnaround was so quick it took everyone by surprise.
General Motors CEO Bris had a grave expression.
He said solemnly, "The Myanmar Environmental Technology Company’s filter is currently in high demand, and I thought we could grasp this technology, but now it seems, they were prepared well in advance, hiding so much from us.
With the launch of industrial grade filters, their dependency on us has drastically reduced, and if they continue to release household filtering devices and large-scale environmental filters, our business isn’t a must-win for them."
"What are they trying to do?" asked the CEO of Toyota.
Bris gave him a look; such a brainless question, what else does a company pursue if not money.
Still, he explained, "They probably want to drive up the price, we hardly understand the whole technology. The brochures don’t reveal the technical details, and we can’t replicate it for the time being."
"Can we ask them to provide samples for testing? Then have engineers reverse engineer it," suggested the CEO of Volkswagen, though such a suggestion was embarrassing to make as it involved no technical sophistication.
The CEO of Honda agreed, "I think it’s viable, at the same time send someone to see if they can acquire the technology from their company. Meanwhile, we should ask them to provide sample testing.
As for the amendments to environmental laws in various countries, they could afford lobbying firms, and so can we. We cannot allow the passage of the car zero emissions mandate in the short term; otherwise, if they start price gouging, we’ll suffer significant losses."
Bris nodded, "That’s the only option."
The meeting quickly set the tone.
A two-pronged approach.
The only regret was that they couldn’t pressure the Myanmar Environmental Technology Company through the Myanmar government because its major backer was Myanmar’s Deputy Leader, who had also earned his position through force.
His followers still included tens of thousands with an unclear level of military power.
Having reached this level.
They were aware of the fate of those who had previously coveted the fruit wine and resorted to ’despicable’ measures; they had long reached a consensus never to engage in a knife fight with their opponents.
Otherwise, their own bosses might not be able to save them.
As for business tactics, there shouldn’t be a problem as long as they didn’t break the rules; the other side wouldn’t resort to the methods used against those assassins to deal with them, they still had confidence about that.
Looking at the way businesses in the Myanmar Economic Zone conducted their operations, their non-use of violent methods was evident.
...
Myanmar.
Neibi Du.
Lang Cai’s office.
In the past few days, the Myanmar Bank Group’s companies had once again made headlines worldwide. How could Lang Cai not know about it? Initially, he did not take it seriously, assuming the automotive filter promotion would be challenging.
But when the industrial-grade filters appeared,
he knew that the Myanmar Bank Group was going to make a fortune again.
It also happened yesterday.
The official Huaxia department sent him a document, inviting the Myanmar Environmental Technology Company to Huaxia for a technology testing, to discuss the possibilities of cooperation. This made Lang Cai, who was already feeling down, even more distressed. 𝓃ℴ𝓋𝓹𝓊𝓫.𝒸𝓸𝓂
Because he had no interests in this matter.
Of course,
he couldn’t possibly refuse. If Ling found out, things would get complicated. It was bad enough not being able to help, but to hinder progress would sound even worse. Therefore, he had no choice but to call Ling over.
Ling had been working in a villa in Neibi Du these few days.
Speaking of which,
Lang Cai felt utterly embarrassed.
This was the first time Ling worked for an extended period in Neibi Du. On the first day, one of Ling’s subordinates went in and came out, giving the neighborhood security guard twenty-six "little gadgets," which of course were installed by Lang Cai’s people.
Ling’s subordinate claimed they were found.
It saved Lang Cai some face.
Fortunately, Lang Cai had thick skin, and having a thick skin was, in fact, good enough.
"President Lang Cai, you wanted to see me?" Ling walked into the office and stood in front of Lang Cai’s desk, which was one of the main reasons Lang Cai always admired Ling.
Although Ling often left them unable to retort,
his etiquettes,
were impeccably observed.
Just like Kan Qin, very polite and respectful to him on the surface, unlike Kundun, who would just sit directly in the chair in front of him when there were no others around to report work.
"Take a seat," Lang Cai said with a smile on his face.
"Thank you,"
Ling sat down.
"Just now, Huaxia sent over a document expressing great interest in your filters and inviting your team to conduct experiments. I guess they want to test the effectiveness. If it’s good, Huaxia will definitely make a large purchase, and you are going to make money again," Lang Cai said directly.
At that moment, Ling had to be modest. "I also received the news; the company just got an invitation from Huaxia. They are already preparing for it and will depart early tomorrow morning.
As for making money? President Lang Cai, you jest. This is just the beginning; the investment in developing the filters is too high, and it will take time to start making profits.
Currently, we face several challenges. First is the global supply which might not meet demand, and second, the relative profit is not high; we can only hope that subsequent services will help the company profit."
Ling could talk nonsense without even drafting it out.
Under realistic demands, one of the principles in talking with Lang Cai was — I’m not having an easy time either; otherwise, Lang Cai would not be pleased.
Indeed,
Hearing Ling talking about the tough times,
Lang Cai also felt relieved and comfortable in body and mind.
"How could that be? Your products are of such good quality," Lang Cai sighed.
Ling feigned distress, "Exactly because the quality is good, the research and development costs are high. We are still not covering costs, and even if we make some money, it’s estimated to be offset by the depreciation of the Myanmar Kyat against the Asia Dollar.
President Lang Cai, as a state-owned enterprise, don’t you think you should also support this company?" When it was time to ask for help, one must not be vague, especially since Lang Cai was in a good mood.
"How can I support you? Tell me," Lang Cai said cheerfully.
"All cars and factories in the Myanmar Economic Zone have been equipped with filters, and this part no longer needs investment. However, other large industrial, mining, and power enterprises in Myanmar have not yet purchased. I think..."
Ling paused here.
There was no need to finish the sentence.
"Don’t worry, I will have the environmental protection department research this, and we will discuss it in the meeting next week," Lang Cai assured, patting his chest.
"Thank you, President Lang Cai," Ling said ’sincerely’.
"It’s all for the good of our country; what’s there to thank for, haha." Lang Cai felt he had regained his confidence.
