524. The arrival of the seagulls (5/5)

Work requires decisiveness, and Wang Bo does it as soon as he says.

He and Stoke chatted with him for a whole morning to learn some basic knowledge of the petrochemical industry, the advantages and disadvantages of each gas station, the oil of Seagull, and then went to Mobil's gas station after lunch.

Mobil is a habitual name. In fact, the company is now renamed ExxonMobil, the world's largest petrochemical factory. Its first generation leader is Rockefeller, a well-known American financial circle.

Mobil, built in Sunset Town, is just a small gas station, with only a webmaster, a finance officer and an exclusive gas staff member. When the work is not busy, the webmaster and the finance officer also have to work as a gas staff member.

So, before Wang Bo went, he knew that among these people, he could not get any guarantee, that they were just small minions working.

But the King of Hell couldn't help seeing the little ghost. When he walked to the gas station, there were two SUVs waiting to refuel. The stationmaster and the gas crew were working, so he said hello and wanted to wait: "Hi, Mr. Northon, the sun is quite bright today, right?"

This is a standard New Zealand greeting and asking about the weather. Of course, Wang Bo can also ask how the lunch is, but this will make people think of it as funny.

The Chinese people’s emphasis on privacy is something that Chinese people cannot understand. If it is their own lunch, it is also part of privacy and will not mention it unless they are friends.

Webmaster Northon looked at him and nodded, but did not answer, and was still cheering for Suv.

Wang Bo leaned against the wall with his arms held back, and he felt a little sad. The mayor of New Zealand and the mayor of China were incomparable. If he was the mayor of China and then greeted a worker on his own initiative, even if the other party did not kneel down and licked him, he would definitely be flattered to entertain him.

The premise of New Zealanders to interact is equality. Of course, the mayor and the gasoline crew cannot be truly equal, but if the gasoline crew does not care about the mayor, this is not something that cannot be understood.

Two SUVs left and got free for the time being. Northon walked over and wiped his hands with a towel while asking, "Is there anything wrong?"

Wang Bo shrugged and said casually: "The weather is so good. Can't you talk to you for any time? We are now neighbors, guys."

He was actively sending friendly signals, but unfortunately Northon didn't appreciate it: "Forget it, Mr. Mayor, the weather is really good, but everyone is so busy. Just tell me if you have something to do. As for the neighbors? Sorry, I live in Dunedin and are not neighbors with you."

This answer made Wang Bo frown. He was very unfriendly. He had a premonition that today's negotiations would not go smoothly.

Since that's the case, then go straight to the point. Wang Bo smiled and said, "That's right, please contact the senior management of your company. Haiou hopes to be neighbors with you and neighbors in Sunset Town."

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

Wang Bo said: "Maybe your managers like this joke, go ahead and inform them and tell them I have something to talk to them."

Northon frowned: "Hi, Mayor, do you really want to allow those country bumpkins to come to Sunset Town?"

Wang Bo responded bluntly: "Please, man, we are a small country town, we are all rural boobs."

Northon was not purely brainless. He saw that Wang Bo was already angry, so he said in a relaxed tone: "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 calorie value is only 60% of conventional gasoline for automobiles. And according to quite reliable reports, if the car uses 10% ethanol mixed gasoline without any changes, the engine's fuel consumption will increase by 5%, so the only people who like this oil are poor, and the poor will not come to Sunset Town."

Wang Bo waved his hand and said, "First of all, Webmaster Northon, you are from Dunedin, not a member of Sunset Town. Secondly, I know everything you know, but you don't know what I know. For example, what you call "reliable reports" is fake news, and the publisher has apologized to readers."

The morning's homework was not done in vain, and he learned a lot of ethanol and 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 greater than that of conventional gasoline, which affects the formation and combustion speed of the mixture.

This may be a bit genius. To put it simply, ethanol gasoline is not conducive to the acceleration of the car and will reduce its explosive power. In other words, the car is less powerful when running with this gasoline.

Northon said again: "If you know a lot, you must know that the thing will corrode the oil path. Only broken cars use ethanol gasoline!"

Indeed, seagull's gasoline can be corrosive to the oil circuit, and ethanol will produce acetic acid during combustion, which will corrode the automotive metals, especially copper.

Moreover, ethanol is an excellent solvent that will cause slight corrosion, swelling, softening or cracking on the sealing rubber of automobiles and other synthetic non-metallic materials.

Wang Bo responded tit-for-tat: "Don't exaggerate, man, I've read the official test data. When the ethanol content in gasoline is 0 to 10%, it basically does not corrode the metal. Besides, as far as I know, Seagull has also added an effective corrosion inhibitor..."

After explaining this, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, there is nothing to say between us. Tell your managers that I want to talk to them."

He was determined to introduce seagulls into the town. Although ethanol gasoline has many disadvantages compared to traditional gasoline, it also has many advantages.

First of all, the price is more affordable, and secondly, this oil has a high octane number, good explosion resistance and low risk.

The most important thing is that ethanol gasoline has little pollution to the environment after combustion, which is not a little small. Because ethanol has high oxygen content, carbon monoxide is produced after combustion, and anyone who has learned chemistry knows that carbon monoxide is the product of insufficient combustion of carbon.

Northon stopped Wang Bo's idea of ​​changing, but as soon as he stopped him, the strong man who was basking in the sun suddenly got up and stared at him with fierce eyes.

Seeing this, the webmaster quickly raised his hand and made a non-threatening posture, saying, "Master, you see, our gas station is very compatible with the town. We have never been complained about. Our oil quality is excellent. You have no need to introduce another gas station, right?"

Wang Bo said: "This is not something you and I can decide. The city people in Dunedin, this is something my voters decide. The townspeople hope that the seagulls can fly in."
