Sail across the sea

Chapter 174

The matter of using environmental protection equipment comes from Gao Fan's moral cleanliness.

Of course he knew that the awareness of environmental protection in China is very weak nowadays, not to mention that the Chen family and his son are just two farmers, even the leaders of state-owned enterprises like Gao Yiping and Deng Youliang, only talk about environmental protection as a decoration.They are not happy to ask them to spend real money on environmental protection.

In fairness, the waste gas, waste water and dust pollution of the paint factory is not very serious compared with some other enterprises.There are many township enterprises engaged in chemical industry in the entire Renqiao area, and their waste gas and waste water, which are ten times more toxic than those of paint factories, are also discharged directly in a grandiose manner.

Governments at all levels basically turn a blind eye to it, and occasionally come to the door to impose fines. It is not so much a punishment as a collection of protection fees. Everyone has long been used to it.

"We can't follow the old path of pollution first and then governance", this sentence is very correct.But looking at all countries in the world, which country has not come this way?
When a person is poor, his life is cheap. Who cares about the sweet air?

Gao Fan knew this, he was powerless to change the whole society, but he still had to take care of the things under his nose.

Chen Xingquan directly handed over the decision-making power to him, which made him very satisfied.It takes tens of thousands of dollars to buy environmental protection equipment, and half of the money belongs to the Chen family and his son.Even if it is inconvenient for them to directly oppose Gao Fan's opinion, it is always okay to show some dissatisfaction, which is enough to make Gao Fan feel uncomfortable.

The current behavior of the Chen family father and son reflects that they are people who know how to advance and retreat.They may not realize the importance of environmental protection, but at least they do not regard wealth as their life, but are willing to accept Gao Fan's thoughts.

Such collaborators are able to do great things together.

"Uncle Chen, Brother Chen, Shuilong, I think so."

Gao Fan organized the words in his mind and said:
"Our current factory can earn three to five million yuan in a year..."

"Actually, they can earn millions." Chen Xingquan interjected.He didn't tell Gao Fan about this number on the way, mainly because the driver was present.He originally planned to report the number to Gao Fan when he got home, but now he heard Gao Fan talk about the factory's income, so he said it.

"Are you sure?" Gao Fan felt a little surprised.

Chen Linfa nodded: "Xingquan and I calculated the accounts. According to the current sales volume, if there is no other factory that can produce the same product, we are still sure that we can earn 100 million a year."

"That's great." Gao Fan said, "Since there is such a large profit, then we can spend [-] to [-] yuan on a set of environmental protection equipment, and there is no burden."

"It's really not a burden." Chen Xingquan said.

Gao Fan said: "Then let me continue to talk about my thoughts. This factory can earn 100 million a year, but in fact it can only be regarded as a small business, and we are just living a well-off life."

Hearing this, Chen Linfa and the others all exchanged glances, feeling a little helpless.

100 million is still a small fight, how much experience do you have!

In fact, Gao Fan said the same thing to them a few months ago, but at that time, they were somewhat skeptical, and felt that Gao Fan's goal was too far away, and they just listened to it as a joke.

But at this moment, they no longer take Gao Fan's words as a joke, because the paint factory has only been open for about three months, and the roughly calculated profit is already over 3 yuan.Just now Chen Xingquan said that he could earn 40 million yuan a year because he considered that the demand for paint in the later stage would not be as concentrated as it was in the early stage, but even so, the estimate of 100 million yuan is still reliable.

A blueprint plus a formula can make a business with an annual profit of 100 million, which makes people can no longer underestimate Gao Fan's predictive ability.

In Gao Fan's view, 100 million is just a small fight, so how big is his heart?
Gao Fan smiled and said, "I told Brother Chen that before 1990, we should earn [-] million first. Now it seems that this goal should be achieved ahead of schedule."

"One hundred million..., my dear, if you save it in the bank, the interest will be several million a year, right?" Ke Shuilong clicked his tongue.

Gao Fan said: "According to our current development speed, it is only a matter of time before we can earn [-] million yuan, and it should be very fast. I think, when that day comes, money is just a number for us. What we care about , it should be your own reputation. Uncle Chen, don’t you think so?”

Chen Lin nodded and said, "Gao Fan, I know what you mean. A person has a name, and a tree has a skin. In the past, some landlords here made a fortune, and they would spend some money to repair bridges and roads. To draw a name."

"Yes, at that time, Uncle Chen can also spend some money for public welfare, and we don't care about building a small wooden bridge or something. If we want to build it, we can directly build a bridge across the sea, leading directly to Nanlushan Island. "

The South Lushan Island he mentioned is a large island off the coast of Yanzhou.When he came to Yanzhou last time, Chen Xingquan mentioned to him that he could spare time to go to the island to play, but the island is far away from the mainland, and the living conditions are very harsh.

"Ha, it's really great to have such a day." Chen Lin said with a smile.Of course he knew that Gao Fan was just joking, a bridge across the sea was really not something he could afford.

Gao Fan said: "Building bridges and repairing roads is actually a later story. What we should think about now is not to leave regrets, otherwise even if we can donate how much money to repair bridges and repair roads in the future, some of the lost things will already be lost." It can't be undone.

"For example, our current production site is very dusty. Working in such an environment for a long time, workers may suffer from pneumoconiosis or other diseases from inhaling toxic dust.

"If we make a fortune, and the workers who started our business first suffer from a disease that cannot be cured for a lifetime, what is the use of giving them more money as compensation?"

"You're right." Chen Linfa nodded heavily.

Chen Linfa didn't feel too directly about the environmental pollution mentioned by Gao Fan.But Gao Fan said that the workers got sick, Chen Linfa could imagine it.Among his relatives, there was one who worked in the mine and got pneumoconiosis. He was sick all year round and passed away at a young age.Everyone said that they were exchanging their lives for money.

The matter of exchanging life for money is also a helpless choice for the poor.But if the workers in his factory got such a disease because of working for him, he probably couldn't forgive himself.

"Gao Fan, you're right!" Chen Linfa said, "I've also thought about this matter, but I always feel that it doesn't matter much for a while. Listening to you now, it's really the case. The workers employed by our factory , they are all from the village, if everyone gets sick because of the pollution, our family will not be able to raise our heads in the village in the future.”
