537 525. What You And I Say Doesn't Count (1/5)

Chapter 537 525. What You and I Say Doesn't Count (15)

Work needs to be done vigorously, and Wang Bo will do what he says.

He chatted with Stoke all morning, learned some basic knowledge of the petrochemical industry, learned about the advantages and disadvantages of various gas stations, learned about Seagull's oil, and then went to Mobil's gas station after lunch.

Mobil is a customary name. In fact, this company is now renamed Exxon Mobil. It is the largest petrochemical plant in the world. Its first-generation head is Rockefeller, who is well-known in the American financial circle.

Meifu, built in Sunset Town, is just a small gas station, with only the station manager, the accountant and a dedicated refueling staff. When the work is not busy, the station manager and the accountant also work as refueling staff.

Therefore, before Wang Bo went, he knew that he could not get any guarantee from these people, they were just working boys.

But Yan Wang is so hard to deal with little ghosts. When he walked to the gas station, there happened to be two SUVs waiting for refueling. Mr. Mori, the sun is shining brightly today, isn’t it?”

This is a standard New Zealand greeting, asking about the weather. Of course, Wang Bo can also ask how his lunch is, but he will be taken for a tease.

New Zealanders value privacy so much that the Chinese cannot understand, and if it is a lunch by oneself, it is considered a part of privacy, and unless it is a friend, it will not be mentioned.

The station master Northon glanced at him and nodded, but did not answer, and was still refueling the SUV.

Wang Bo leaned against the wall with his arms folded. He felt a little sad. There is no comparison between the mayor of New Zealand and the mayor of China. If he was the mayor of China and greeted a refueling worker, even if the other party did not kneel and lick He would definitely be flattered to entertain him.

The premise of New Zealanders' communication is equality. Of course, the mayor and the refueling staff cannot be truly equal, but if the refueling staff doesn't care about the mayor, this is not something that cannot be understood.

The two SUVs left and were temporarily idle. Nuo Sen came over and asked while wiping his hands with a towel, "What's the matter?"

Wang Bo shrugged and said casually: "The weather is so nice, can I talk to you if I have nothing to do? We can be regarded as neighbors now, buddy."

He was taking the initiative to release a friendly signal, but Northam didn't appreciate it: "Forget it, Mr. Mayor, the weather is indeed good, but everyone is so busy, so you can speak directly. As for the neighbors? Sorry, I live in Dunedin , and you are not neighbors."

This answer made Wang Bo frown. The buddy is very unfriendly. He has a hunch that today's negotiation will not go well.

Since this is the case, let’s cut to the chase, Wang Bo smiled and said, “That’s right, please contact the senior management of your company, Seagull hopes to become neighbors with you, neighbors in Sunset Town.”

Northon laughed and said, "Seagull Gas Station wants to enter Sunset Town? Come on, this joke is not funny."

Wang Bodao: "Maybe your managers like such jokes, go ahead, inform them, and tell them that I have something to talk to them about."

Nuo Sen frowned: "Hey, mayor, do you really want to allow those bumpkins to come to Sunset Town?"

Wang Bo responded bluntly: "Come on man, we are just a small country town, we are all country bumpkins."

Norson wasn't just out of his mind. He saw that Wang Bo was 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 is not a good thing! Its calorific value is only 60% of that of regular motor gasoline, and according to quite reliable reports, if the car uses 10% ethanol blended gasoline without any modification, the engine Fuel consumption will increase by 5%, so the only people who like this kind of oil are poor ghosts, and poor ghosts will not come to Sunset Town."

Wang Bo waved his hand and said: "First of all, Station Master Northen, you are from Dunedin, not a member of Sunset Town. Secondly, I know everything you know, but you don't know what I know. Spectrum reported 'that's fake news, and the publisher has apologized to readers."

The homework in the morning was not in vain, 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. The evaporation temperature under the theoretical air-fuel ratio is higher than that of conventional gasoline, which affects the formation of mixed gas and the combustion speed.

It may be a bit pedantic to say this. To put it more simply, ethanol gasoline is not conducive to the acceleration of the car and will reduce its explosive power. That is to say, the car will be less powerful when using this kind of gasoline.

Northon said again: "Then if you know a lot, you must know that that thing will corrode the oil circuit, and only broken cars use ethanol gasoline!"

Indeed, sea-gull gasoline is corrosive to oil circuits, and ethanol produces acetic acid during combustion, which is corrosive to automotive metals, especially copper.

Moreover, ethanol is an excellent solvent, which will slightly corrode, swell, soften or crack the sealing rubber of automobiles and other synthetic non-metallic materials.

Wang Bo responded tit-for-tat: "Don't be alarmist, buddy. I have read official test data. When the ethanol content in gasoline is 0-10%, there is basically no corrosion to metals. Besides, as far as I know, seagulls have added effective corrosion inhibitors." Inhibitors..."

At this point in the explanation, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, we have nothing to talk about, tell your managers, I want to talk to them."

He is determined to introduce seagulls to the town. Compared with traditional gasoline, ethanol gasoline has many disadvantages, 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 anti-knock performance, and low risk.

The most important thing is that ethanol gasoline causes less pollution to the environment after burning, which is not a little bit, because the oxygen content in ethanol is high, so the production of carbon monoxide after combustion is less-everyone who has studied chemistry knows that carbon monoxide is the result of insufficient carbon combustion. later product.

Nuo Sen stopped Wang Bo from changing his mind, but as soon as he stopped, the young man who was basking in the sun suddenly got up and stared at him fiercely.

Seeing this, the station master quickly raised his hand and made a non-threatening gesture, and said: "Mayor, you can see that our gas station and the town are very compatible, we have not been complained about, and our oil quality is excellent. There's no point in bringing in another gas station, is there?"

Wang Bodao: "It's not up to you or me to decide. The city dwellers of Dunedin. It's up to my voters. The townspeople hope that seagulls can fly in."

When he was about to get off work in the evening, he was practicing English with that Qingyang when an unexpected guest arrived suddenly.
