Chapter 155: Water Turns to Oil (Part II)
The purpose of Geng Wenyang's trip was to expose the water-to-oil scam in person, so he nodded and said, "District Chief Lu, that's a scam, I can show you it in person." ”
"Oh? Is it? Seeing that he didn't prevaricate, Lu Mengyong directly agreed to it, and said with great interest: "Then you can quickly demonstrate it to me?" ”
"I can ......," Geng Wenyang spread his hands and said, "But I don't have anything now, if you want to demonstrate, you have to help me find something." ”
"What do you need, I want you to demonstrate it now, can you?" Lu Mengyong asked as he stared at him eagerly.
"Hmm......" Geng Wenyang thought about it, using the simplest soapy water as an emulsifier, mixing water and oil together to form an emulsion, should be the most convenient way.
"I need some petrol, soapy water and a couple of enamel washbasins. With that, I can do it. ”
"Okay, I'll let Xiao Li help you find it." Lu Mengyong called the driver Xiao Li and asked him to help Geng Wenyang find all the things he needed.
Water-to-oil demonstrations are dangerous and cannot be done in an office building. Geng Wenyang asked Zhou Chuanjiang to help find a corner in the compound where no one was around, and started the experiment with soapy water. It took more than an hour, and with the expertise of his previous life, he quickly found the right emulsifier ratio.
To be on the safe side, Geng Wenyang also conducted an on-site experiment to ensure that the experiment could be carried out smoothly during the demonstration to the leaders.
He put two-thirds of the water in the basin and slowly poured the mixture of soapy water emulsifier and gasoline into the basin as he stirred, eventually forming a basin of oil-water mixed emulsion.
Geng Wenyang took a box of matches, struck one, and threw it far into the basin. As soon as the lotion in the basin touched the source of the fire, a half-human-high flame instantly rose and burned fiercely.
"It's lit! It's lit! Zhou Chuanjiang shouted happily when he saw the success of the experiment.
Xiao Li nodded when he looked at it, and said in his heart: "Mr. Geng is really worthy of his reputation, he is very capable, and he can even turn water into oil." ”
"Let's go, let's go and report to District Chief Lu!" Since the experiment was successful, Geng Wenyang was more confident and followed Zhou Chuanjiang into the office building.
When Lu Mengyong heard that the demonstration work was ready so quickly, he said uneasily: "Mr. Geng, are you really ready?" I'm going to invite a few leaders in the district to go to the scene to see it in a while, don't mess up! ”
"No problem." Geng Wenyang swore and said: "I have already successfully tested it once just now, if you don't believe it, you can ask Director Zhou and Master Li." ”
Zhou Chuanjiang and Xiao Li nodded and confirmed: "That's not wrong at all, it's exactly the same as the effect of that expert Wang's demonstration." ”
Lu Mengyong was extremely cautious, and said immediately: "Okay, can you show me in person first?" ”
"Okay!" Geng Wenyang didn't give in: "Please ask District Chief Lu to go downstairs and watch." ”
In front of Meng Yong, Geng Wenyang once again demonstrated the magic of "turning water into oil". Lu Mengyong looked at the basin of water that was really burning and nodded, "Okay, I'll go and ask the leader to go upstairs now." ”
He pointed to the main entrance of the building with his hand and ordered, "You move your things over there and demonstrate them in front of the main entrance of the building." ”
Geng Wenyang: They hurriedly moved to the front of the building to prepare for the demonstration. After a while, Lu Mengyong really led a few leaders who Geng Wenyang didn't know to go upstairs, and a few other cadres who followed to watch the excitement.
Geng Wenyang took the trouble to make a basin of water first, and then added the lotion he configured in proportion and stirred it well. He feigned fear, and ducked far away and threw a lit match into the basin.
In front of everyone's eyes, the oil-water mixture in the basin suddenly burst into flames and rose. The faces of those leaders also became grim.
"Mr. Geng, everyone knows that water doesn't burn, so why is the water in the basin gone?" Lu Mengyong deliberately asked on the spot: "Can you explain the reason?" ”
"That's a good explanation." Geng Wenyang understood his intentions very well, and calmly explained in the face of the leaders: "The combustion of gasoline in the basin will produce heat, and the heat released will heat the water into steam, so it runs out." It's as simple as that, it's not that the water is burned out. ”
"Another thing, if I don't use gasoline, I can also ignite water." Geng Wenyang remembered that the so-called expert Wang had another trick, so he broke it and said: "Throw calcium carbide powder or active metal compounds that can react with water into the water, and after producing combustible gases such as acetylene or hydrogen, it can also be ignited on the spot." ”
Lu Mengyong saw that Geng Wenyang was speaking in front of the public with reason and evidence, and his demeanor was natural, and he couldn't help but secretly praise: "This Geng family kid is really a capable person, he has such achievements at a young age, and he understands so many truths, and he doesn't know how his parents trained him." ”
Those leaders could see and hear clearly, and after a few words of conversation with each other, they turned around and entered the office building. Seeing this, Lu Mengyong hurriedly turned around and followed.
Geng Wenyang also breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw that the demonstration was a great success. In front of so many leaders, if the performance is smashed, it will be a big trouble.
Zhou Chuanjiang slapped him excitedly and said, "Wen Yang, you can do it!" Show your face in front of so many leaders! ”
Geng Wenyang said bitterly: "Director Zhou, can you do it lightly?" Your shoulders are numb. ”
"Oh, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Zhou Chuanjiang hurriedly rubbed his shoulders and said, "I'm so happy, so happy!" ”
Geng Wenyang was introduced to Lu Mengyong by Zhou Chuanjiang, and if he could not successfully demonstrate the process of "turning water into oil" in front of the leaders, it would mean that he was negligent and was likely to be implicated and lose his future.
Zhou Chuanjiang also believes that the "water to oil" project introduced by the city is not very reliable, and if he does not refuse and settles in the Kuangbei Economic Development Zone, he will not be able to escape responsibility when the lies are exposed in the future.
There is a way to choose the lesser of two evils. Since they have to take risks, it is better to bet the treasure on Geng Wenyang, after all, people also come forward to prevent the local people from being deceived, and the realm is much more noble than that scammer.
"Wen Yang, you helped the district avoid being deceived and suffering losses this time, I think District Chief Lu will definitely reward you." Zhou Chuanjiang said with envy: "I advise you to think about what reward to ask for first." ”
Geng Wenyang said indifferently: "I didn't expose this scam for myself. As long as we don't let this scammer cheat us out of our money, I don't ask for anything personally. ”
"Cow!" Zhou Chuanjiang was full of admiration: "Your ideological realm is not something that ordinary people can have, brother, I admire it very much." ”
Although Geng Wenyang didn't ask for anything in return, Lu Mengyong remembered this sentiment. When the opening ceremony of the second phase of the Zhannan Huimin Wholesale Market, the Garment Wholesale Market, was held on October 1, he gladly accepted the invitation and cut the ribbon as a guest.
After cutting the ribbon, he made a speech: "Huimin Wholesale Market is one of the Huimin projects that our district has successfully introduced. Today is the opening of the second phase of the project, and I hope that there will be three, fourth, and even fifth and sixth phases of the project, so that the market can continue to grow and develop, and also provide more and more employment opportunities for our local people. ”
In the follow-up visit, Lu Mengyong told Zheng Baisheng and other street and village leaders: "It is not easy for private enterprises to grow, and in the future, you must help the wholesale market within the scope of the policy, and we must not affect the operation of the market because of our reasons." ”
Zheng Baisheng nodded yes again and again, and Xu Zonglin, who followed at the end, listened, and secretly wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "My good girl!" Is this little Geng so capable? Even District Chief Lu came to support him, and it seems that it would be better to provoke him less in the future. ”
