525.What You and I Say Don't Count (1/5)
The work needs to be vigorous and resolute, and Wang Bo will do it when he says it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He chatted with Stoke all morning, learned some basic knowledge of the petrochemical industry, learned about the advantages and disadvantages of each gas station, learned about the oil of the seagull, and then went to the gas station in Mobil after lunch.
Mobil is a customary name, in fact, this company is now renamed Exxon Mobil, the world's largest petrochemical plant, its first generation of head is the famous Rockefeller in the American financial circle.
Mobil, built in Sunset Town, is just a small gas station, which only has the station manager, the treasurer and a dedicated gas clerk, and when the work is not busy, the station manager and the finance officer also have to do the work of the gas clerk.
Therefore, before Wang Bo went, he knew that he could not get any assurance among these people, they were just small minions who worked.
When he walked to the front of the gas station, there happened to be two SUVs waiting to be refueled, and the station manager and the gas attendant were working, so he said hello and wanted to wait: "Hey, Mr. Northson, the sun is shining today." ”
This is a standard New Zealand greeting, asking about the weather, of course, Wang Bo can also ask how he ate lunch, but this will be used as a tease.
New Zealanders value privacy in a way that Chinese cannot understand, and if it is a lunch by themselves, it is also considered a part of privacy, unless they are friends, they will not mention it.
Stationmaster Northon glanced at him and nodded, but did not answer, still refueling the SUV.
Wang Bo leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, he felt a little sad in his heart, the mayor of New Zealand and the mayor of China are really incomparable, if he is the mayor of China and then takes the initiative to greet a gas worker, even if the other party does not kneel and lick him, it will definitely be flattered to entertain him.
The premise of New Zealanders is equality, and of course the mayor and the refueler cannot be truly equal, but if the refueler does not care about the mayor, this is not something that cannot be incomprehensible.
The two SUVs left and were temporarily idle, and Northson walked over and asked while wiping his hands with a towel, "Is there something wrong?" ”
Wang Bo shrugged his shoulders and said casually: "The weather is so good, can't I talk to you if it's okay?" We're neighbors now, man. ”
He was taking the initiative to send a friendly signal, but unfortunately Northen didn't appreciate it: "Forget it, Mr. Mayor, the weather is indeed good, but everyone is so busy, you have something to say." As for the neighbors? Sorry, I live in Dunedin and I'm not a neighbor with you. ”
This answer made Wang Bo frown, buddy is very unfriendly, he has a hunch that today's negotiations will not go very well.
Since this is the case, let's get straight to the point, Wang Bo smiled and said: "That's the case, please contact the senior management of your company, Seagull hopes to be a neighbor with you, a neighbor in Sunset Town." ”
Northon laughed and said, "The Seagull Gas Station wants to enter Sunset Town?" Come on, it's not funny. ”
Wang Bodao: "Maybe your managers like this kind of joke, go ahead, inform them, tell them that I have something to talk to them." ”
Northon frowned, "Hey, Mayor Mare, are you really going to allow those hillbillies to come to Sunset Town?" ”
Wang Bo responded unceremoniously: "Please, man, we are a small town in the countryside, and we are all hillbillies." ”
Nuo Sen was not purely brainless, he saw that Wang Bo was already angry, so he relaxed his tone and said, "I don't know why you have such an idea, but as a member of the town, I want to give you a friendly reminder." ”
"Mayor, ethanol gasoline isn't a good thing! Its calorific value is only 60% of that of conventional motor gasoline, and according to fairly reliable reports, if the car uses a 10% ethanol blend without any changes, the fuel consumption of the engine will increase by 5%, so the only people who like this oil are the poor ghosts, and the poor ghosts will not come to Sunset Town. ”
Wang Bo waved his hand and said, "First of all, Stationmaster Northam, you are from Dunedin, not a member of Sunset Town. Secondly, I know what you know, but you don't know what I know, for example, what you call 'reliable reporting' is fake news, and the publisher has apologized to the readers. ”
The morning's homework was not in vain, and he learned a lot about ethanol gasoline.
It is a fact that the calorific value of ethanol gasoline is low, and its latent heat of vaporization is large, and the evaporation temperature under the theoretical air-fuel ratio is greater than that of conventional gasoline, which affects the formation and combustion rate of the mixture.
It may be a bit of a crepe to say this, but to put it in layman's terms, ethanol gasoline is not conducive to the acceleration of the car and will reduce its explosive power, that is, the car will run with this gasoline.
"If you know more, you know that it corrodes the oil circuit, and only broken cars use ethanol gasoline!" ”
Indeed, Seagull's gasoline can be corrosive to oil circuits, and ethanol will produce acetic acid during combustion, which has a corrosive effect on automotive metals, especially copper.
Moreover, ethanol is an excellent solvent, which will cause slight corrosion, dissolution, softening or cracking of automobile sealing rubber and other synthetic non-metallic materials.
Wang Bo responded-for-tat: "Don't be alarmist, man, I have read the official test data, when the ethanol content in gasoline is 0~10%, there is basically no corrosion to the metal, and as far as I know, the seagull has also added an effective corrosion inhibitor......"
At this point, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, there's nothing to say between us, tell your managers, I'm going to talk to them." ”
He was determined to bring seagulls into the town, and ethanol gasoline has many disadvantages over traditional gasoline, but it also has many advantages.
The first is that the price is more affordable, and the second is that this oil has a high octane number, good knock resistance and low danger.
The most important thing is that ethanol gasoline is less polluting to the environment after combustion, which is not a small one, because ethanol has a high oxygen content, so it produces less carbon monoxide after combustion - anyone who has studied chemistry knows that carbon monoxide is a product of insufficient carbon combustion.
Nuo Sen stopped Wang Bo's idea of wanting to change, but as soon as he stopped him, the strong man who was basking in the sun suddenly got up, and then stared at him with fierce eyes.
Seeing this, the stationmaster hurriedly raised his hand to make a non-threatening gesture and said: "Mayor Town, you see, our gas station and the town are very compatible, we have not been complained, our oil quality is excellent, you don't need to introduce another gas station at all, right?" ”
Wang Bo said: "It's not for you and me to decide, the city people of Dunedin, it's up to my voters, and the townspeople want the seagulls to fly in." ”
When he was about to get off work in the evening, he was practicing English with Na Qingyang when an unexpected guest suddenly arrived. (To be continued.) )
