Chapter 848: Environmental Pioneer

Although Hu Wenhai's credit is probably worth more than ten thousand taels of gold, it is impossible for Zhang Ruimin to be persuaded by him to nod in a few words.

In order for Haier to keep up with Xinke's chariot, there are still many problems that need to be verified and solved by both sides.

However, after all, the situation is still developing in a good direction, and the Economic and Trade Office quickly came up with a survey data to demonstrate the energy and environmental costs caused by the use of freon in refrigerators in the domestic market.

By 1991, the number of refrigerators in China was conservatively estimated to be at least 50 million, which is a really scary number. It is important to know that freon, a refrigeration material, not to mention its corrosive effect on the sealing structure, there is also a leakage coefficient in the state of intact sealing.

Any small number and small proportion can be immediately appreciable as long as it is multiplied by a base number as large as 50 million.

Coincidentally, China Youth Daily is doing a special report recently. It's about the movie "The Disappearance of the Ozone Layer", which just won the Golden Rooster Award. The editor didn't know where he got the data from such a survey, and then he did some science popularization in the newspaper.

"The so-called chlorinated hydrocarbons in "The Disappearance of the Atmosphere" are actually less toxic than one percent of the freon!"

"Within ten years, refrigerators will burn through the earth's ozone layer!"

"Feng Xiaoning is not shooting a science fiction film, but a disaster film with a realistic theme!"

The influence of the film "The Disappearance of the Atmosphere" is still not small, and Feng Xiaoning just filmed the drama "War Meridian" the year before last, which has become the childhood shadow of many children, and the corresponding fame and attention are quite high. The nineties was Feng Xiaoning's prolific era, and his name was much higher than Feng Xiaogang's two thousand years later.

The disappearance of the atmosphere is also known as the childhood shadow of many children, the disappearance of the atmosphere caused by poisonous gases, and the sun's ultraviolet rays will kill all life on earth, which seems to be just a background setting for the plot in the movie. Even the name chlorinated hydrocarbons has no actual chemical counterpart.

However, after reading this issue of China Youth Daily, many people are shocked to realize that this is not a fictional chemical substance, but this highly toxic substance...... Tucked away in our refrigerator?

Audiences who have watched "The Disappearance of the Atmosphere" are too impressed by the highly toxic substances in the movie. It can not only burn through the atmosphere, but also very toxic, and is flammable and explosive. The male robber died under the poison gas, the female robber drove a tanker truck into the fire, and the fearless spirit of self-sacrifice of the wolf dog with the torch in his mouth......

Feng Xiaoning's "The Disappearance of the Atmosphere" is really a very moving film, but if this highly toxic substance in the film really has a realistic basis, then how touching it is, there are many people now.

Readers may not know the specific chemical properties of Freon, but that doesn't stop them from understanding the highly toxic substance in "The Disappearing Atmosphere" as freon. Therefore, in the minds of the readers of this article, freon = highly toxic chemicals = burning through the atmosphere = people will die if they inhale = they will explode when they encounter an open flame, although this equation is not true, but it has taken a deep imprint in people's hearts.

As for the calculations made by the author in the article, they are actually not so rigorous. The leakage of 50 million refrigerators is indeed very significant, but it was a total of 10 years of leakage, and then it was simulated according to a fixed value of ozone content in the atmosphere, and in fact, the ozone layer itself is not without recovery function.

Anyway, alarmism is not counted, but it is somewhat exaggerated. On the left and right is a pen for reporters, no matter how you say it, it's him.

Twenty or thirty years later, this was a rotten method used by the media, but in the early nineties, the effect was not ordinary.

Readers who have read this article will look at their own home appliances and refrigerators as if they are watching a time bomb. Many readers wrote to report that they could no longer look directly at the refrigerator after returning home, and the state would not care about the sale of such dangerous electrical appliances?

This article by China Youth Daily was then quoted and reprinted by several major newspapers, which caused a small wave of discussion in society. Whether or not freon is harmful, and how harmful, I don't know how many pen battles have been fought in the newspapers.

Hu Wenhai had a good life in Qingdao, you must know that Qingdao is the most livable northern city in China, and the environment is better than the industrial city of Xiucheng. Seafood is not only of high quality, rich in variety and cheap, and the buildings of various Chinese and foreign styles have a long and beautiful history, which makes people dizzy.

"Coincidentally" during this time, I caught up with the activities of Qingdao to create a city, and there was not even a scrap of paper in the huge urban area, which made people sigh that the civil servants here were really hardworking......

In April, there was a light rain on the beach in Qingdao, which really made Hu Wenhai want to simply retire and live here.

It's just that the wind is light on his side, but the refrigerator market is already surging.

Using the movie "The Atmosphere Disappears" as an introduction, the pro-fluoride faction and the anti-fluoride faction in the newspaper fought together. Even Feng Xiaoning had to stand up to "refute the rumors", saying that the chlorinated hydrocarbons in the movie have no special meaning, and they do not specifically refer to any kind of chemicals.

But this is useless, probably because his film really scared everyone a lot. Anyway, freon is really bad for the ozone layer, so what does it matter if you say freon in the movie?

But turning his head, although freon and chlorinated hydrocarbons have nothing to do with each other, it doesn't mean that the newspaper won't use the film "The Atmosphere Disappears" to scare readers! Feng Xiaoning is probably not clear even if he is full of mouths at this point.

The major refrigerator manufacturers and related practitioners can't wait to bite him to death from the bottom of their hearts.

Refrigerators have been sold abroad for decades, and freon has been used as a coolant for 60 years. Even if it does have an impact on the atmospheric environment, it is the developed countries that can afford to use refrigerators who have a greater responsibility. No one has said that after 60 years of queuing freon, China can afford to use refrigerators for only a few years, how can it catch up with such a movie?

You said you were okay to stay, what kind of "The Atmosphere Disappeared"! Those two bare-ass children are running around the world, isn't that child abuse? Relevant departments, newspapers, and television stations, hurry up and report it!

Hu Wenhai really likes the city of Qingdao a little, he bought a piece of land on Mai Island to build a house, and now he is going through the procedure to violate the villa, and our Mr. Hu's money is not disgraceful, of course, there is no need to hide.

However, building a house is certainly not a project that can be completed in a short time and a half, and Hu Wenhai temporarily lives near Elephant Ear Mountain, which is not far from Haier. Zhang Ruimin came to visit every once in a while, and he didn't have to worry about delaying his serious work.

No, Zhang Ruimin sat on the sofa next to Hu Wenhai, holding the newspaper with a crying and laughing face, shaking his head and saying: "Our hype, but we have made Feng Xiaoning suffer." Director Feng's movie is really not necessarily going to be difficult with refrigerator manufacturers, but now I'm afraid I have to be careful even when I go out. ”

Hu Wenhai straightened his face seriously, as if he admired Feng Xiaoning very much: "It's hard to say this, Director Feng is a great director, maybe he is an artist who cares about the world, cares about environmental protection, and is dedicated to the public?

Zhang Ruimin smiled bitterly when he heard this, spread his hand and said, "This ...... What Director Feng thinks, probably only he knows. ”

"Oh, what can I do, I want to introduce him to a good business. ”

Hu Wenhai reached out and searched for it on the cabinet next to the sofa, and threw out a document: "I have a Hollywood copyright contract, if Director Feng is not an environmental pioneer, then I am afraid that this contract will not be signed." ”

"Contract, what contract?" Although Zhang Ruimin is not a fan of the movie, he is also aware of the gap between Chinese films and Hollywood. What contract did Hollywood want to sign with Feng Xiaoning, and why did it still hand it over to Hu Wenhai?

"The copyright of "The Atmosphere Disappears", a blockbuster film invested by Whirlpool and produced by DreamWorks. Hu Wenhai pouted: "Whirlpool has invested at least $30 million in this film, and it is a big production." The gimmick is the theme of environmental protection from China, and the thinking and struggle of third world filmmakers on environmental protection and economic development. ”

"If Director Feng is not an environmental protection fighter, how can DreamWorks blow this cowhide round, this will affect film financing!"

After Hu Wenhai said this, Zhang Ruimin's eyes immediately lit up: "What, Mr. Hu has already contacted Whirlpool?"

Zhang Ruimin has not dealt with foreign-funded enterprises and multinational enterprises, so how can it be so easy to talk about cooperation with large foreign enterprises? Not to mention how to talk about it, sometimes just finding someone to talk with has already exhausted all his strength.

But there is no need to worry about this matter in Hu Wenhai's hands.

Mr. Hu just revealed a little bit in the Wall Street Journal, and he had some pessimistic expectations about Whirlpool's future profitability, so Whirlpool's stock price made a roller coaster. There was no need to worry about it later, and the president of Whirlpool did everything possible to ask for Hu Wenhai's contact information from the president of Grumman McDonnell Douglas, and then made a transatlantic phone call.

The three words Hu Wenhai may be a little "outdated" in China, but when put into the capital market, they are still like big devils. Based on our Mr. Hu's record, Wall Street investors will tremble when they hear this name for at least half a century.

As for Whirlpool's president, after the phone call, he made it clear that Whirlpool's stock price fluctuated only this time! Before the two sides formally signed the cooperation agreement, Whirlpool's stock price must at least go up or down!
