The Heroine’s Route is Wrong

Chapter 732: The helplessness of the times

As early as the 1980s, power plants used steam power to generate electricity and were DC power stations. However, it was later discovered that the DC power station was powerless to supply power to large cities. For remote power supply, it is necessary to increase the voltage to reduce the power loss in the transmission line, and then the transformer must be used to step down the voltage to send it to the user, and the DC transformer is very complicated.

The controversy between direct current and alternating current lasted for nearly two decades, until finally engineer Stanley improved the alternating current transformer. This controversy ended in the victory of alternating current.

Up to now, hydroelectric power plants have been widely established by Western powers, but later generations of nuclear power plants have not yet risen due to insufficient current technology.

The majestic Cordillera Mountains in western America span north and south, and the plateau climate is arid, with vast land and sparsely populated areas and few rivers.

However, there is a vast Sacramento River in the San Francisco area, which flows into the northern part of the San Francisco Bay in a northeast-southwest trend.

There are many tributaries of the Sacramento River, the main tributaries of which are the Pitt River, the Fanze River, the Meclaud River and the American River.

This freshwater river system not only provides the necessary conditions for the rise of the western city of San Francisco, but also provides conditions for the power that is essential for the modernization of the city.

Large and small power plants have been built on this river. Some power plants have been in operation for 20 to 30 years, and equipment replacement is inevitable.

Mason, the general manager of the San Francisco Power Plant, is also sorry for the discarded sets of equipment. They are still usable. However, after more than 20 years of industrial development, they have fallen behind in the United States, and there are also aging lines.

If such a machine is transported to the east and the middle, the transportation cost is expensive, and the heavy industry and machinery manufacturing in the east and the middle are more developed than in the west. The hydroelectric power plants in the eastern and central regions can save expensive shipping costs and purchase equipment locally. They are also the latest models and have a longer lifespan than second-hand ones.

A few days ago, a Chinese chef from the power plant rarely came up to greet him and asked about the resale of the old equipment. Because the company wants to replace equipment is something the whole factory knows. The power plant is certainly not close to the city center. The workers at the power plant cannot come back for lunch, and even have to stay on duty in the factory.

Mason has no good feelings towards the Chinese, but he has no dislikes either. He is a businessman by the background of an engineer. His impression of the Chinese is that they are very good at cooking, and they can delve into cooking to please the tastes of the diners, and the dishes they cook are low-cost, sophisticated, novel and delicious. The Chinese chefs are cost-effective and cost half of the salary. Reduce costs, but can make the most satisfying food for employees.

Mason heard that the chef said that some Chinese wanted to buy such equipment. He couldn't help but be pleased. He couldn't find a suitable buyer in China. If the Chinese were willing to buy this batch of old equipment, maybe he could still buy a price higher than his original psychological expectation.

Therefore, through the appointment of time between the chefs, the buyers who are interested in buying flowers are invited to come and talk.

In this way, Zhao Qingyi and Zhao Ren came to the power plant. In addition to Situ Wei, Mr. Situ, who was over sixty years old, also accompanied them. The big brothers were naturally accompanied by brothers, so they also drove three cars.

Situ Wei wanted to ride in the same car with Zhao Qingyi, Zhao Qingyi did not refuse, and the elders were happy to see it. Zhao Ren and Mr. Situ ride in the same car, but in the other car is the Chinese Li Jie who has a U.S. lawyer's license. There is also a bodyguard in each car.

When they arrived at the power plant, the Chinese chef and a manager named Smith greeted them at the door.

When everyone got out of the car, the Chinese chef greeted him happily. He first greeted Mr. Situ, the leader of the overseas Chinese community, then gave his hands to others, and then introduced Smith.

Smith greeted them, because Zhao Qingyi was an unmarried girl, he saw her exquisitely dressed and extremely beautiful, and he even gave a kiss.

Although the people present were not surprised by this kind of etiquette, even Zhao Ren lived in the westernized rivers and seas. But Situ Wei was stunned for a while, and thought: It turned out to be like this. He had been back to his motherland for too long, and he was afraid of being misunderstood by conservative women in the country. You can do Western rituals.

If he saw her doing a Western ceremony, wouldn't he hold his hand long ago and kiss it? Maybe you can kiss your cheek after you kiss your hands.

Situ Wei felt that he was so stupid.

Smith enthusiastically took them to Mason's office. Mason had been waiting and had already prepared an offer in his heart.

"Hello! I'm General Manager Mason, and I welcome you to the San Francisco Power Plant."

Mr. Situ is the leader. He is familiar with Americans. First shake hands with him and introduce himself.

"I have admired your name for a long time, Mr. Situ, I am glad to meet you."

Since the beginning of the last century, Chinese laborers entered North America and almost all gathered in San Francisco. There is an organization like Hongmen in San Francisco, and Mason has also heard of it. Besides, the current president also served as legal counsel to them.

Even if Mason doesn't value the Chinese, he naturally respects people like Mr. Situ.

Mr. Situ said: "I am also very happy to meet you. Let me introduce my friend. This is Mr. Zhao. He has just come from planting flowers and intends to purchase some equipment. This is his daughter, Ms. Zhao."

Zhao Ren also shook hands with Mason, and knew a little greeting English. He was not too formal in the mall for a long time.

Mason shook hands with Zhao Qingyi again and smiled: "Really beautiful girl, welcome."

Zhao Qingyi smiled and said in English: "Michelle-Zhao, you can call me Michelle, I am glad to see you. This time I am mainly responsible for the business. I happen to be more familiar with electricity. I would like to ask you for advice."

Mason was taken aback, because it seemed to him that this beautiful little oriental girl was only thirteen years old, so she was actually responsible?

Mason looked at the other people, Mr. Situ smiled and said, "Michelle is in charge because we are outsiders."

While he was skeptical, Mason greeted Situ Wei again, and then asked them to sit on the sofa for a while.

Zhao Qingyi started to beat the side first, and asked, "Mr. Mason, your San Francisco power plant has a history of 30 years, right? How many times have you replaced the equipment during this period?"

Mason said: "Ah, the equipment that I replaced this time won't be very old, but I really don't want to bear it."

Zhao Qingyi said: "However, the power sector has developed rapidly. The United States is the largest industrial country. There are many new equipment coming out. From the perspective of long-term benefits, new equipment must be better. In order not to lag behind the entire industry, it is necessary to replace it. of."

Mason said: "Yes, but I think our equipment will not lag behind in planting flowers. You should not be able to produce power generation equipment when planting flowers."

Should we say that Americans are straight? When facing foreigners, Zhao Qingyi cannot be as confident as later generations: What do we have to catch up with the world's first-class standard technology, and high-tech products sell cabbage prices, not good?

At this time, she couldn't think of a technique or invention that could improve her self-confidence. Now it's the industrial age, does she still want to talk about the four great inventions of ancient times? Would that be laughed at by foreigners?

She couldn't learn from Koreans, saying that electricity was invented by flower growers and then spread to the United States, right?

Zhao Qingyi now somewhat understands why the overseas Chinese in this period are so patriotic.

Zhao Qingyi said: "We really can't produce now, so we came to the United States, hoping to bring the light of electricity back to planting flowers."

Mason smiled slightly, maybe he was friendly, maybe he was a cheap sympathy for people from weak countries, the ghost knew it.

But Zhao Qingyi was very depressed. When she was talking with people, she was looking at other people. This frustration couldn't help lowering her eyes. Seeing Mason's puffy figure, she suddenly raised her eyes to see his complexion.

With an idea, I wanted to find a place to find a place, so he said: "We can't compare our flowers to the United States in industry now, but we also have a long history, culture and traditional science."

"Traditional...scientific? What do you mean?"

Zhao Qingyi smiled slightly and said, "Tell me to take the liberty. Does Mr. Mason often feel nausea, headache and vomiting?"

Mason was caught off guard by this sudden inquiry, and said, "How do you know?"

Apart from his family, not many people know about this matter, and it is absolutely impossible for the Chinese to know.

Zhao Qingyi said: "This is what we judged by traditional medicine for planting flowers. I can make this judgment by observing your complexion. Health is the first priority. Mr. Mason should take care of his busy work."

He put it plainly is edema obesity, and cause a series of symptoms.

Mason was surprised: "Can you tell me this way?"

Zhao Qingyi said: "Are you swollen lower limbs, sore waist, and less urine?"

Mason said, "All in, can you really see it?"

Zhao Qingyi said: "Of course. This symptom is also very common among our flower growers. We have also studied some treatment methods for a long time. This is not available in the United States. If you have time, you can ask Mr. Situ to introduce one to you. Chinese medicine."

Although Westerners pay attention to their privacy, who does not pay attention to their health and life? Mason's symptoms are no longer mild, but there are also some diseases that Western medicine cannot cure.

Rather than studying the little girl and telling her symptoms at this time, it is better to think about how to cure herself. He felt that he could see it at a glance, and said that the symptoms were more magical than witchcraft, and maybe it was really useful.

Zhao Ren didn't understand much English, but the grandparents of the Situ family understood. Only then did they understand that Zhao Qingyi is neither humble nor overbearing because the American just said that planting flowers can't make power generation equipment. She really couldn't refute it, but her strong national pride made her find a place back.

As overseas Chinese and ethnic Chinese living in the United States, they fully understand this feeling.

Poorly, she can't find anything in industry and modern science. She can only use Chinese medicine to show the long and splendid existence of flower-planting civilization.
