Chapter 840: Demonstration
Coming out of Atletico Madrid's office, Zhu Lingling's forced laughter could no longer be controlled, and she began to laugh when she lay on her desk.
laughed until tears flowed from her eyes, and she finally stopped laughing, sat down again, took out the makeup case, and began to wipe the corners of her eyes and touch up her makeup.
When everything was cleaned up, glancing at the subordinates around who were pretending to be busy but their eyes were full of inquiry, Zhu Lingling did not explain, but picked up the receiver to make an internal call.
"Hey, is it a logistics company? I'm Zhu Lingling. In this way, the chairman of the board of directors has just issued a new order to immediately resume the procurement and supply of banana fruits from now on, and strive to return to the usual level as soon as possible. Why do you believe those rumors? It's not at all, okay, that's it, I'm going to call Jiajing!"
Everyone had already held their breath and paid attention to this, and Zhu Lingling deliberately increased the volume, so everyone naturally listened carefully, and immediately understood why the boss was laughing. Thinking of their boss's current predicament, everyone can't help but want to laugh.
Hanging up the phone, Zhu Lingling was about to continue to inform the Jiajing Board Office to convey the same decision, but then she heard other people's eating and laughing.
Raising her head, she shouted at the crowd: "What are you laughing at? Sun Ke and Wang Yanyan, come over to me!"
"Boss, what's the matter?" Sun Ke walked over and asked, Wang Yanyan also looked at his own leader, just now the two of them were the most happy.
"There is a very important work in the organization to be handed over to the two of you," Zhu Lingling glanced at the two of them, opened the drawer and took out two shopping cards and handed them to them, "One for each person, you two hurry up and go out to buy bananas now, you want the kind of big ones that look good and sell well, the more varieties, the better." Go and go back quickly, and wait for the boss to be interviewed!"
The two of them took the order, and the big office once again burst into loud laughter, this time louder and more noisy, and the atmosphere was more enthusiastic.
"Okay, okay!" Zhu Lingling buttoned the table, "Just do it, let's go our own way." And don't gossip, be careful that the boss comes back to talk to you!"
It's okay if she doesn't say it, but when she heard this, everyone immediately became calm, and they took out their mobile phones and looked for mobile phones, striving to be the first whistleblower in the universe.
Atletico Madrid's chairman's office is different from other places, and their assistants really just help with chores, doing some work such as data collection and reception. Everyone seems to be the person next to the boss, but they usually have little contact with inside information, and there are not many who can explode with peace of mind.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Lingling smiled and didn't say anything, lowered her head and picked up the phone to inform Jiajing.
They can often see the boss as a handyman, but they can't even see anyone over there, so they can only accept the boss's remote command. This order should have been given by Atletico Madrid, but he may also feel that it is not easy to see people if he goes back on his word, so he simply let Zhu Lingling do it for him.
A few days ago, under someone's order, Bee and Jiajing immediately stopped the purchase of banana fruits, which not only caused many complaints and complaints within the company, but also caused a lot of turmoil outside.
The two companies have tens of thousands of employees in Ludao, and they consume tons of various types of fruit every day, and their sudden cessation of purchasing will naturally cause short-term discomfort in the market, and then there will be a small range of unsalable. Under normal circumstances, things can quickly return to normal as dealers reduce prices and adjust distribution.
However, the reality is that the two things of "banana price reduction" and "bees refusing bananas" have changed their flavor in the process of spreading, and some old stalks and brain supplements have been added out of thin air, and finally turned into a new rumor that keeps pace with the times: "Banana AIDS has invaded Egret Island, and major companies refuse to pick and prevent diseases".
The news spread rapidly through social networks, and most people naturally didn't believe it, but there are always some people who "would rather believe it" in the city, with more than 6 million permanent and temporary residents. And as long as one percent believes, 60,000 people will join the army of refusals. This naturally led to further slow-selling and price reductions, as well as a stronger spread that quickly spread to surrounding cities and even the rest of the country, and grabbed attention from the Brazilian president.
On the one hand, they arranged for reporters to interview agricultural experts, banana farmers, and fruit sellers, and tried their best to convey the news that "there is no 'banana AIDS' in the local market, and you can buy them with confidence." On the other hand, some people thought of the boss of the bee horse, who was the initiator.
Atletico Madrid was a little unimpressed at first, but asked the Dong Office to send a notice, saying lightly that "bananas are non-toxic, and you can buy them if you like to eat them", and then ignored them. Later, when he saw that things were getting bigger and bigger, he became a little anxious, and just when the mayor and the principal called one after another, he simply got off the donkey and agreed to come forward to refute the rumors, and the reporter from the TV station would come over for an interview.
Of course, it is inevitable to bring some private goods by the way, advertise or something along the way.
notified Jiajing, Zhu Lingling arranged for someone to prepare live broadcast equipment, and the next interview will be put on the Internet at the same time, so that the fertilizer and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders.
Sun Ke Wang Yanyan's speed was quite fast, and it didn't take long to bring back two large boxes of more than a dozen bunches of bananas, which were big and yellow and looked very good-looking. By the time TV reporters and videographers arrived, the office was filled with the unique scent of this tropical fruit.
It was in this room full of banana fragrance that the interview officially began.
Facing the TV cameras and live cameras, Atletico said apologetically: "I'm sorry everyone, I didn't expect that the original random decision would cause such a result. Here, I would like to apologize to everyone, especially the banana farmers and fruit merchants everywhere. ”
Straightening up, he continued: "I have already notified Bee and Jiajing to resume banana procurement just now, and I believe that the incident will be settled soon." ”
The reporter who made a cameo appearance as the female host took over the topic and opened her mouth to ask, "Can you ask? Ma Dong, why did you do this before?"
"My Zhizhi choked on eating bananas, and I did it in a moment of anger," Atletico said embarrassedly.
Others only thought that this was regretting his reckless behavior, but in fact, the object of his shame was his own daughter.
Atletico didn't want to say that he was stuffed with a whole banana and was uncomfortable, so he had to let Zhizhi carry this little black pot on his back, anyway, his daughter was her father's lover in her previous life, and it shouldn't be a big problem for Xiaoxiao to carry the pot.
However, he didn't know that this picture was preserved by Tang Jiayi, and finally handed over to the latter, who grew up, and appeared many times in the father-daughter war.
Of course, this is all in the future, and now Atletico are busy eating bananas.
Holding the banana that had just been broken off, he pointed to the row of shopping receipts on the table and said: "I asked my employees to go out to buy these bananas, and I don't know where they are made, so I can't escape those common origins." As a token of my apologies, I decided to eat bananas every day from now on!"
After speaking, he looked at the two reporters, "What about you?
The photographer was unmoved, and the female reporter smiled and stretched out her hand, but took it but didn't eat it, just held it in her hand.
The other party was concerned about image and discipline, but Atletico Madrid didn't care, reached out to peel off the skin, and ate it in three or two bites. After eating one, it didn't seem to be enjoyable, so he broke off another one from the other and explained, "It's strange that I miss not eating for a few days." ”
Where the camera couldn't shoot, Zhu Lingling rolled her eyes and couldn't help roaring in her heart: "The same surname is Ma, why is the gap so big? Others talk and laugh with the president and prime minister, but you eat bananas in front of reporters and netizens? Do you want to be imaged?"
Atletico also realized that this was an interview, and did not continue to eat, and at the same time said to the cameraman, "Pinch off this paragraph, don't broadcast it!"
But this is obviously meaningless, after all, in addition to the TV camera, there is also a live broadcast camera of the bee itself, and at this time, more than 100,000 people are commenting on his appearance.
Atletico finally freed his mouth, the interview continued, and the female reporter threw out a new question: "Ma Dong, how much do you know about the so-called 'banana AIDS'?"
Zhu Lingling's expression was straight, and she knew that the topic was coming.
"AIDS is a transliteration of human immunodeficiency syndrome, and it has nothing to do with bananas," after a pause, Atletico continued: "The 'banana AIDS' mentioned on the Internet is actually caused by fungi causing banana yellow leaf disease and blight. Some people call it the banana AIDS, mainly because the disease hits the banana farming industry hard, saying it could lead to the extinction of the kind of bananas Americans eat now. But it's only a possibility, after all, times have changed, and it's not 60 years ago. ”
"60 years ago?"
"It's a bit boring just to say this, I just asked the assistant to make a PPT, you can take a look," Atletico looked at Zhu Lingling and motioned for her to bring the prepared car.
The latter, who had been prepared, immediately did so, placing a metal tablet on the table in front of him. The thin plate is actually a miniature projector, and the two lenses are activated by pressing a button to emit a bright light, reflecting a large area of color on the wall on the side of Atletico Madrid.
"It's so bright!" the female reporter praised.
"Well, this is a laser micro-projection," Atletico said casually, "The feature is that the brightness is very high, and there is no need to draw the curtains." ”
While speaking, the system had finished booting, and Zhu Lingling pulled up the file and withdrew.
"Okay, let's continue with the topic just now," Atletico picked up the remote control on the side, pointed sideways to the "screen", and said: "Fusarium wilt is actually not uncommon, its pathogenic fungus Fusarium oxysporum is widely present in the soil, it can survive in the soil in the form of hyphae or spores for several years, thus contaminating the soil and increasing the incidence year after year. In addition to bananas, hundreds of herbaceous crops and flowers, such as sesame seeds, cucumbers, and eggplants, are affected by the germ. Therefore, 'banana AIDS' sounds very mysterious and powerful, but it is actually a wilt disease that flower farmers, melon farmers, and vegetable farmers often have to deal with. ”
"The situation of bananas is different from other crops, the bananas we eat are triploid plants, and they cannot be propagated by seeds, but can only be expanded by asexual means such as tillering and tissue culture. Seed propagation is prone to variation, so breeders can constantly screen combinations to introduce new varieties that are resistant to disease, have high yields and taste good. The probability of asexual reproduction mutation is much lower, only 2 parts per million, bananas have a history of 2,000 years of cultivation and 100 years of large-scale planting, but there are only more than 300 varieties left, which shows how difficult it is to breed. ”
"If there are fewer varieties, the resistance to pests and diseases is much worse, so the weapons in the hands of banana farmers are worse," Atletico said, pointing to the black-and-white photos on the wall: "At the beginning of the last century, the United Fruit Company of America bought land in Central and South America to establish banana plantations, and the main cultivation was this kind of large Michel (GrosMichel). In the 50s, the banana yellow leaf disease broke out in Panama, and the variety was completely extinct, and now the disease-resistant Cavendish is grown there. ”
"However, the disease also mutates and evolves, and then the disease reappeared a few years ago, causing a lot of losses to bananas in China and other Asian countries. Scientists discovered the new pathogen T from the diseased strain, and found that the disease-resistant varieties currently cultivated are ineffective against it, which is why there is a saying that 'banana AIDS has made a comeback, and I am afraid that I will not be able to eat bananas in the future'. ”
"And will it be?"
"Of course not!" Atletico said, "Even in the worst-case scenario, it will only be the same as it was back then, when the main cultivars disappear and new disease-resistant varieties are replaced to clean up the old rivers and mountains." ”
"But in reality this does not happen, because the level of communications, quarantine and agriculture is much better now than it was in the 50s. Our country has developed targeted comprehensive prevention and control methods. Of course, the best way is to seize the time to breed new disease-resistant varieties, so as to change the offensive and defensive posture. ”
There is a sentence that Atletico Madrid did not say, in the 50s, when Che Guevara led the Latin American people to rebel against the tyranny of the United Fruit Company, fighting local tyrants and dividing banana orchards, the United Fruit Company was busy fighting them, and the pest and disease prevention work was inevitably relaxed, which created the famous name of banana wilt.
At the end of the interview, the camera was turned off, and the atmosphere immediately relaxed, and everyone shared delicious bananas and gathered in front of Weitou on the table, full of curiosity about it.
"Bee is also interested in the TV industry, but we don't want to be an assembly plant or even an OEM, so we focused on projection solutions such as laser TVs, and then we have this product," Atletico said. ”
Laser TV is lively,But it has the shortcomings of high price、Troublesome debugging,The actual sales are very bad。 Affected by it,Bee TV, which was once close to being listed, was forced to cancel,The projector in front of me is actually the result of the team's repolishing。
"Its DMD chip is designed and manufactured by us, and the display resolution is increased to 1080P, which is much better than other products for video playback. And you should have noticed that it has two lenses, which can be used to see 3D at home, and can also be pulled out to create a sense of presence. ”
"Wouldn't the price be doubled for two projection modules?" the photographer asked.
Atletico was a little embarrassed, "Actually, there is a single-lens version, but the brightness is a little smaller than this." ”
