Chapter 6: Demand, Costs, and Reality
In the Shuzhou Science and Technology Expo Hall, Han Lingyang walked off the stage and returned to the previous room after introducing the ultimate scientific and technological product "Urban Air Purification System" on the exhibition stage. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Huh, where's the book?"
Han Lingyang glanced at the sofa a few times, and the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" that he read before going on stage seemed to be missing.
"Ling Yang, what are you looking for?"
Suddenly, a deep and somewhat official voice came from behind Han Lingyang.
Han Lingyang turned around and saw that it was his father, Han Mingqu, deputy mayor of Shuzhou City, who entered the room, and the female assistant beside him who had seen him a few times and was very beautiful but didn't know his name.
"It's nothing, it's just that I can't find a book."
Han Lingyang said lightly, and then sat on the sofa.
In front of his father, Han Lingyang has never been restrained, he is quite casual.
"Dad, how are you feeling?"
After Han Lingyang sat down, he asked his father.
Obviously, Han Lingyang was asking Han Mingqu how he felt after watching the outdoor air purification experiment.
"You" urban air purification system "in essence, is a symptom but not a cure, the key to haze control is to work hard at the source, we can only make great efforts to do a good job in structural emission reduction, industrial structure adjustment, coal control, tobacco control and motor vehicle exhaust control measures, in order to ......"
When Han Lingyang heard this, his pupils shrank, and he quickly stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his father's eyes, and said: "Stop, stop, don't say your official words, everyone knows about energy conservation and emission reduction, and the control of motor vehicle exhaust emissions, and the "Air Pollution Control Regulations" just promulgated by the municipal government, I can memorize it for you upside down." ”
Han Mingqu glared at his son, and said, "Of course, what other negative purification technology does the "urban air purification system" you have developed? ”
"Negative ion purification technology."
"Negative ion purification technology, at present, is indeed the only way to effectively solve the haze in terms of pertinence."
Han Mingqu was also in the Science and Technology Museum just now, and he saw the outdoor air purification experiment clearly, and what his son Han Lingyang developed had to be described with the word "incredible".
"Dad, then you just say "good" and it's over. Han Lingyang rolled his eyes.
"Just you kid talk a lot!" Han Mingqu said with a gloomy face.
Han Lingyang just smiled faintly, shrugged helplessly, and didn't speak.
Watching the conversation between the father and son, the female assistants beside Han Mingqu couldn't help laughing.
Fortunately, this kind of conversation between father and son is not a political formal occasion, otherwise the female assistant's smile is estimated to make the always solemn Han Mingqu dismissed.
Seeing that the female assistants were laughing, Han Lingyang was a little more serious, ready to discuss business with his father.
"Dad, let's get down to business, does Mayor Zhao have any intention of buying an "urban air purification system"? ”
In fact, Han Lingyang already had the answer to this question in his heart.
In the past two years, Shuzhou's economy has grown by leaps and bounds, but smog pollution has become more and more serious, especially in the past 2016, Shuzhou has become one of several areas in the country with a severely polluted air quality index.
The citizens of Shuzhou City are eager to improve the haze weather in Shuzhou City, but the municipal government has been working hard to reduce structural emissions, adjust industries, and restrict the operation of motor vehicles with odd and even numbers, but these fundamental air pollution control will take a long time to see significant results.
Ordinary citizens also understand this truth, but living in the smog environment, known as the "gas chamber", no one wants to, there are relevant data show that long-term living in a severe haze environment, will reduce people's life expectancy, and the incidence of various diseases will also increase.
This is a contradiction between reality and the needs of citizens.
Now with the "urban air purification system" of the future technology company, the citizens see the hope of getting rid of the haze, if the city government does not act at this time, I am afraid that the citizens are unwilling, when the credibility of the government declines, the development of civilized cities is blocked, these effects no matter which one is in charge, do not want to see.
Therefore, Han Lingyang can basically conclude that the Shuzhou municipal government will be the first to buy the "urban air purification system" of the future technology company to test the water.
Of course, testing the water is just a way to say, Han Lingyang has enough big data and confidence to ensure that the "urban air purification system" he has worked so hard to develop can make the citizens of Shuzhou City open their eyes every day and see a clear blue sky.
If Shuzhou City has installed an "urban air purification system" and achieved a good social evaluation of haze control effect, it is equivalent to opening the door to a rolling financial source for future technology companies.
The governments of Kyoto City, which is the most heavily polluted by smog, followed by Shanhai City, Kamitsu City, North China, Central China City, Chang'an City and other regions, will cooperate with Mirai Technology to purchase "urban air purification systems".
"The city government does have a great intention to buy your "urban air purification system", but if a top-notch product such as a negative ion air purification tower is installed in the city, the number may not be underestimated, and what is the cost? ”
As the deputy mayor of Shuzhou City, Han Mingqu believes that his son Han Lingyang's scientific and technological products can effectively solve the haze weather, which is also unanimously agreed by the Shuzhou Municipal Government, and there is no personal favoritism on Han Mingqu.
But Han Mingqu also has to consider some practical issues.
That is, the price of an ordinary air purifier on the market now ranges from several thousand yuan, and his son Han Lingyang has developed negative ion purification technology, and the core technology cost is an immeasurable number, and the manufacturing cost of its air purification tower and air purifier is probably more than N grades higher than those ordinary air purifiers on the market.
So here's the problem.
If the cost of an ion-ion air purification tower and air purifier is huge, coupled with the large number of demands, then if you want to buy an "urban air purification system", it is naturally an astronomical amount.
As the deputy mayor of Shuzhou City, Han Mingqu is well aware that the central government allocates more than one billion yuan of special funds for smog control in Shuzhou every year, and Shuzhou City also spends more than one billion yuan every year on production capacity adjustment and structural emission reduction.
However, these are the tasks that must be done to fundamentally control smog pollution.
If Han Lingyang's "urban air purification system" is more expensive than this fund, then the Shuzhou municipal government has to consider whether it is sure to buy an "urban air purification system".
Han Lingyang saw his father's worries at a glance, and Han Lingyang also considered this problem, and just now on the exhibition stage, Mr. Lei Jun, chairman of Xiaomi Technology, also asked the same question.
Although science and technology can target smog and have significant effects, there must be a way to solve the cost problem, otherwise it will cause a situation that is theoretically feasible but cannot be completed in practice.
If that's the case, it's embarrassing!
