Chapter 924, the water crisis(1/2)

After Nan Yi and Scarlett fell in love with each other for a while, they picked some vegetables from the vegetable garden and returned to the edge of the rice husk. They saw that the three little girls were already gnawing sweet potatoes. Nan Yi pulled one out of the rice husk, hung it for a while, and broke it into two petals, half of you, half of me.

Holding the sweet potato in his mouth, Nan Yi walked to one side, pressed a switch, and a roll of movie screen slowly unfolded, and went to the other side, turned on a light on the head, lifted off the rain cloth, revealing the movie projector below.

After fiddling for a few times, the indicator light on the projector lit up. Nan Yi opened a pure copper 8mm movie copy box, took it out from it and put it on the projector. With the rustling sound, MGM's classic lion title appeared on the movie screen, in black and white.

Nan Yi walked back to Scarlett, and looked at the screen and said to him: "Adam, you have watched it several times. Do you like Katherine Hepburn's performance so much?"

"I have answered your question several times. Not only her, but every actor acts well, and the set is good, which basically restores the appearance of that era. But it is normal. Pearl Buck grew up in the southern part of China, and she wrote what she saw and heard."

"Dad, we just watched this movie in the afternoon, let's watch another movie." Nan Ruoyan interrupted.

"It's too early to say it, you can change it yourself."

After hearing this, Nan Ruoyan walked to the projector, took off the copy of "Dragon Seed", and replaced it with Hu Jinquan's "Dragon Gate Inn". The film screen instantly turned from gray to yellow, red and blue.

"Dragon Gate Inn" is much more popular than "Dragon Seed". Security guards who do not work also gather in front of the curtain, either stand or sit on the ground, enjoy videos that you can understand or cannot understand.

Nan Youqiong rode his all-terrain vehicle, left and returned, and brought back the three ice barrels of beer, and the leisure time of the security personnel turned into happy time.

Nan Yi's eyes were pulled back from Nan Youqiong and integrated into the landscape paintings on the curtain.

"Adam, this is the best Chinese film I have ever seen." After half of the film, Scarlett said with emotion: "The composition is so beautiful, and every frame can be regarded as a painting. The director applied the techniques of landscape painting to the movie.

Landscape painting focuses on five methods of outlining, tinting, rubbing, dyeing, and dot. In the movie, these five methods become cameras, actors, art, light and shadow and props. This is the director's spatial aesthetics and spatial narrative."

"Uh-huh."

Scarlett not only can understand landscape paintings, but also can paint. When she was a child, her grandmother Patricia taught her. In comparison, Nan Yi could only feel a little artistic conception, but she just thought it was good-looking.

"The director changed the hook to a long view, gave a down shot or depth of field lens to show the full picture of the picture." Nan Ruoyan interrupted the road.

Fan Hongdou: "The director made the mirror into a mirror, borrowing the different changes in the scenery and light and shadow, and the different angles of the lens, so that the concrete or details of trees, strange stones, rivers, steep mountains, and inns appear on the screen."

Nan Youqiong: "Trip is a supplement to the texture..."

"Shut up!" Forget the first three, Nan Youqiong's fire made Nan Yi a little angry, "You want to step on your father, too?"

"Hehehehe."

Nan Youqiong laughed strangely.

"Dad, you should go to the Senior Citizens University to sign up for a calligraphy and painting class, otherwise you will have no common language with us."

Nan Ruoyan finished the attack.

"I'm still a TV university in the senior citizenship."

Nan Yi muttered, grabbed a piece of steak wrapped in tin foil, pulled it open and stuffed it into his mouth.

At this moment, he recalled the jokes he had made before, and then he had the idea of ​​bringing them into reality - the new work of the famous painter Nan Yi was sold at Christie's auction house for a sky-high price of US$180 million.

When night fell, Nam Yi and Scarlett were busy in the tent. On Changbai Mountain, they always handed the Tou Park Dashan a stack of money to Sun Myung-soo, a North Korean cadre opposite. The money was the salary for the North Korean ginseng farmers, close to Changbai Mountain ginseng garden. Within the territory of North Korea, the Reclamation Group also had a ginseng garden.

When Park Dashan was young, he often hunted and collected ginseng in the mountains. He often met hunters from North Korea, including ginseng collectors. One of them was Li Hongkui, who was a good ginseng collector. At that time, for the sake of controlling the number, the semi-wild ginseng garden was planned to be set up in North Korea. So the reclamation and colonial group took the upper level route and the civilian route.

In the end, the Enqing Ginseng Garden was established, less than fifty centimeters away from Changbai Mountain Ginseng Garden, but the two Ginseng Gardens seemed to be separated by a gap.

Sun Myung-soo took the money, nodded a little, and nodded happily. Park Da-san did not follow the old rules this time, but added two hundred more to the previous five hundred more.

Park Dasan then handed Sun Myung-soo a net bag, which contained various foods, mainly meat. Sun Myung-soo took the net bag, said "half a day", and carried the net bag to the distance.

Until he could not see Sun Myung-soo's back, Park Da-san shouted to the busy North Korean ginseng farmers in the Eun-kyung Garden: "Li Hongkui, I'll have a meal and a Smida."

Li Hongkui heard Park Dashan’s shout and said to the other ginseng farmers. Everyone put down the farm tools in their hands, and they were not very formal, and then started singing.

"The whole world, envy us, envy us! If love is the happiness of life, we all live in infinite happiness. In the Marshal's infinite care, the happiness of the people is endless. In the whole world, envy us, envy us! In the Marshal's infinite care, our people will always be blessed."

"Old man, what song do they sing?"

The person who asked was Zhang Yaoguang, the captain of the Xingfu Water Exploration Team. The exploration team happened to be conducting "water mine" exploration in Changbai Mountain and temporarily had a meal in the Ganyuan.

"The whole world envys us." Park Dashan pointed to North Korean sannong and said, "Captain Zhang, call your people over. We are going to have dinner in the field today, so they are not going to come."

"Okay, I'll go call someone."

Zhang Yaoguang ran to call for someone. Park Dashan ordered several women to move the low table and food to the open space in the garden. He walked to Li Hongkui by himself, took out two bags of Changbaishan from his pocket and handed them to the other party.

Li Hongkui took it, took out the two packs of cigarettes, and dispersed them around the ginseng farmers. After a while, white smoke filled the air.

"Hongkui, is my sister-in-law in good health?"

Li Hongkui looked around carefully, and confirmed that there was no danger before he suppressed his voice and said to Park Dashan: "It's not very good, the food is very tight. In the past half month, he can only eat six cents full every day."

Park Dashan browed and said, "The situation is not right?"

"Not quite right." Li Hongkui browed.

"Next time I'll bring you some food, and you can take it back quietly."

"Dashan, I don't want good food. Please help me get some chlorella and red pinger. I secretly keep it in the mountains."

When Park Dashan heard Li Hongkui say this, his brows became even tighter. Li Hongkui didn't dare to ask for good food because he was afraid of being robbed, or even being robbed after being robbed. It seemed that the situation on the other end of the mountain was very wrong. He had to tell the girl of the Yu family, call the group, and ask if the ginseng should be collected early.

"Next time I'll bring you, have a meal first, there's still wine today."

Park Dashan hugged Li Hongkui to the low table. The farmers on both sides and the people from the exploration team gathered together to have dinner. The two sides were clearly distinguished. The discipline of Shennong in North Korea was engraved into his bones. Before the meal, he was grateful to the marshal and motivated himself to earn more foreign exchange for the marshal. On the other side, there was not so much trouble, and they all just had the urge to communicate with each other, which was really uncomfortable.

The dinner party will be held every two months, but every time Park Dashan will give many instructions to never communicate with the other party, as it will easily bring disaster to the other party. This time, with outsiders like the exploration team, Park Dashan's instructions are particularly harsh, for fear that these young men who don't understand the tricks will be bad.

Zhang Yaoguang looked at the person opposite him. He was very fast in cooking, but it had nothing to do with the word "going to eat". He ate very "clean", and there was no food or soup spilling out. A spoonful of white rice entered his mouth, and he could clearly see the happiness overflowing from the corner of his mouth.

He is familiar and unfamiliar with this kind of happiness, both close and far away from the world.

The next day.

Nanyi went to Tamsui Group in the morning (fresh                                                                                                                       �

Danshui Group is Nanshi's layout in the field of water resources, with its flat-head companies, Fahai Company, Green Water Company, Tamsui Investment, and Tamsui Research Institute.

Flathead Company is located on the shore of Flathead Lake, the cleanest lake in Montana. Lake Inflathead Lake is also known as Flathead Lake (flathead                                                                                                          

Fahai Company is located in Haifa, a port city in northern Israel, and is committed to seawater desalination business. As for the origin of the company name, it is naturally derived from Nanyi's bad taste.

Green Water is located in Detroit and is committed to sewage treatment business.

Tamsui Investment is located in New York and is committed to investment in seawater desalination-related companies, water source acquisition and contracting, and pure water and mineral water companies.

The headquarters of the Tamsui Institute is in New York and has no branches yet. According to the existing plan, it will have more branches; the Institute is committed to the research of seawater desalination thermodynamic method, reverse osmosis method, electrodialysis method, distillation method and non-mainstream methods. Generally speaking, the Tamsui Institute will engage in all technical research that can obtain fresh water, and even sweat and urine recycling will be launched.

Nan Yi has been worrying too much. He is worried about a food crisis in this world and a freshwater crisis. In his opinion, it may take less than half a century to become a very scarce and precious resource. Perhaps hundreds of millions, billions, or even billions of people can only drink the "freshwater" after seawater desalination. Naturally, freshwater will slowly become a high-level resource that has nothing to do with ordinary people.

Perhaps if you just need to order a glass of natural fresh water in a bar in a few decades, the girl will look at you differently and untied her clothes; perhaps there will be a kind of "freshwater disease" caused by insufficient natural fresh water intake.

Of course, there may be a good side. After only one or two generations, humans will evolve rapidly, and the body will have an extra organ that can purify seawater, or can directly drink seawater; perhaps a hero will stand up and implement the "human optimization" strategy, optimize "waste", and control the number of people on earth.

Regardless of whether Nan Yi's concerns are ridiculous, the Nan family is not short of money, and spending more than one billion to pay for his whimsical ideas will not hurt his body. Moreover, he has also found a group of like-minded and equally stupid people.

The headquarters of Tamsui Group, Pingtou Company, and the office space of Tamsui Research Institute is located in the same area, near the Peace Dove Training Base, Nanyi went to Tamsui Group and went directly to the office of President Ye Feim Zellman, and Petty Lynn, the president of Pingtou Company, was also there.

A simple greeting will get to the point.

Petty Lynn: "Boss, currently in the United States, our biggest competitor is PepsiCo's Aquafina. Their water source is just ordinary tap water, but the snow mountain pattern is used on the outer packaging. This is obviously misleading to consumers. Are we sniping the Pure Water Le on this issue?"

Nan Yi nodded, "You can do something, but not now. Let's consider this issue after our production plants and channels are completed."

Petty Lynn: "OK, worldwide, our future strong competitors include Evian France, Chateldon, British Tianlong, and Kanglongshui, which is also headquartered in France. Except for these four, other brands will not pose much threat to us."

Nan Yi waved his hand, "Excluding chateldon, it is a luxury product in the water. The flat-head company is going to take the mid-to-high-end route, and there will be no direct competition between them and chateldon. In addition, Kanglongshui is not our enemy, it is our own brand."

"Boss, Kanglongshui's parent company SGF is not a water-specific company. Can you consider seizing Kanglongshui under the flat-tou company?" Petty Linen said with a heart-warming look.

Nan Yi smiled faintly, "I have no objection. The person in charge of Kang Longshui is called Emma. You should negotiate with her by yourself to see if she is willing to give up Kang Longshui."

"Ok, I'll contact her."

Nan Yi was secretly happy. Kanglongshui is SGF's flagship product, which has driven the related sales of many products. Petty Lynn really dared to look for it. It would be light for a squirt, and maybe he would have to be beaten.

"Petty, I'll give you some marketing strategies and find ways to send flathead water to the White House. I hope that when the president attends the press conference, he has flathead water on his hands. After this success, starting from New York State, I hope that every state can see flathead water; the next step is that singers, NBA stars, Super Bowl stars, and popular figures among them will also drink flathead water."

Petty Lynn thought for a moment, "Boss, this plan requires a very high budget."

Nan Yi: "Send a report to me and Ye Feim, as long as the numbers are not too amazing, I will approve it."

"What if it's hundreds of millions of dollars?"

Nan Yi spread his hands, "I hope to implant a concept in every consumer's mind - flat water equals mineral water. As long as you include a feasible plan for how to make the money you spent back in the report, don't worry, I will still approve hundreds of millions of dollars."

Petty Lynn loosened his whole body and nodded.

Then, the three of them discussed some details about the flat-headed water. In the middle, Nan Yi also proposed to go to Viti Island in Fiji to find the source of mineral water.

Nanyi attaches great importance to flat-head companies because the entire Tamsui Group can only create profits quickly. Several other subsidiaries will only make money within a few years. If you want the Tamsui Group to achieve self-generating hematopoiesis, you can only rely on flat-head companies.

Nan Yi spent the whole morning discussing, having lunch with Ye Feim Zellman and Petty Lynn at noon. In the afternoon, Nan Yi went to the Tamsui Institute and went to the conference room to attend the institute's report meeting. When he arrived, Deputy Director Christopher was explaining the analysis report on global water resources.

“Since the early 1970s, the United Nations and some other international water resources organizations proposed the concept of a ‘water crisis’, and the main sources of crisis were the lack of available water and water pollution.

The earth's freshwater resources are limited and mainly occur in aquifers, surface flows and atmospheres. Seawater is sometimes mistaken for usable water, but in fact, since it takes huge energy to convert salt water into drinking water, only a very small part of freshwater in the world today comes from seawater desalination.

Many phenomena show that water crisis exists: about one billion people do not have access to safe drinking water; lack of groundwater reduces crops; excessive use and pollution of water resources harm biodiversity; regional conflicts over sparse water resources sometimes lead to war.

Water-related diseases and lack of sanitation in household water are a major cause of death in the world, and water-related diseases are the biggest cause of death in children.

At any time, half of the patients in the world who are lying on hospital beds are infected with water-related diseases. According to World Bank information, 88% of the diseases are caused by drinking unclean water.
