The sun is blazing brightly in the sky in June, but the hot weather cannot dampen the excitement of consumers who are queuing up to buy gas around Beijing at this moment.
The country is providing warmth, offering subsidies and discounts, and allowing you to buy gas at half price.
A normal household gas tank is 15kg and usually sells for around 100 yuan. This is the price if you fill it yourself at a gas station. If you have it delivered to your home, there is usually a labor fee of 10 to 15 yuan.
Now, the country is sending warmth, which is really beneficial to consumers, with gas at half price. People who saw the news lined up in front of the gas station in anticipation, especially some aunties, who kept notifying their relatives and friends on the phone.
The aunties in Beijing are famous. This is the world of aunties. They have friends all over the world and their fighting power is very strong.
As an international capital city, there are many people from Beijing who go there to work.
With rents soaring and the cost of living rising, there's a huge need to save money. A tank of gas can save half the price, and residents and tenants in urban villages and residential communities are among the main groups queuing up.
"Hey, young man, is it really half price?" an elderly woman in the front row asked in disbelief. "The government doesn't want to charge any fees?" If this weren't a legitimate gas station, they'd be worried they were being scammed.
"Yes, Auntie, this is a regular gas station, not a small workshop. This is the country's support for consumers. It is a real subsidy. After the promotion is successful in the future, the gas price will be further adjusted!" The staff member of the gas station answered with a friendly smile. They all received professional training again. The country is really doing practical things.
"Oh, that's really great. Thank you to the country and thank you to the higher-ups for taking care of the people. It's not easy for us ordinary people!" Some people in the crowd couldn't help but sigh, and although more people didn't say anything, they were also grateful.
"Also, we have innovated the gas tanks, which are several times stronger and more durable than before. As long as you don't drop the gas tanks from the upper floors, I guarantee that you will have no problem using them normally!
Moreover, our new combustion tank has a special safety valve developed by scientific researchers. When the tank body ignites and leaks under abnormal circumstances, that is, when you forget to close the gas valve, the valve will be automatically forced to close to avoid the risk of leakage and explosion.
Of course, we still need to pay attention to the necessary things. We can't let our guard down just because scientists and engineers are working hard to improve our safety index. We should not take our own safety seriously. It is important to close the valve promptly after using it. This is an important issue that cannot be ignored!" The worker continued to introduce the new benefits to the people in line, as well as the indispensable safety education.
Every year, many people lose their lives due to gas leaks, fires, and other incidents. Therefore, the popularization of safety education is an important matter that every gas station staff must repeatedly emphasize and supervise. The walls of the gas stations even directly use pictures and texts to promote safety education.
"You can bring your old gas tanks at home to exchange for new ones without having to pay extra money!" This is also one of the main features of this people-friendly project.
"Oh my..., this is such a great thing! Thank you so much for the government's support! Hurry up, hurry up and send the gas tank over! We still have a little gas left, but we need to replace it. The sooner we use it, the safer it will be!" Hearing about the free gas tank replacement benefit, everyone got even more excited. Some of the more impatient ones started yelling at their family members who were still procrastinating.
If you don’t seize the good things when they come, what are you waiting for? If you wait, nothing you eat will be as good as the fresh ones!
"What are you waiting for? Call us quickly. I've brought the jars!" He felt that he was wise and began to shout anxiously.
"Okay, come one by one, I'll handle it for you right away!"
"Don't worry, everyone! We'll make sure everyone gets a seat!" The staff maintaining order repeatedly reminded everyone using a small loudspeaker. This isn't someplace else; it's a gas station. Crowding is not an option.
At the same time, the gas delivery staff also promoted the product to expand the impact and radiate to the entire Shangjing and even the surrounding areas.
With the help of the higher authorities, the speed of promotion and popularization was completely different. Regular gas stations were directly rolled out, and production lines were running at full capacity. Four lines were running in parallel, and one production line was operating at full capacity. About 50 tons of gas could be produced every day to meet the needs of the entire Shangjing Gas Station, gradually replacing traditional liquefied gas. The funds invested in the preparation and construction of the production line were also being recovered rapidly.
The project funds began to generate profits. The second processing center radiating to Tianjin and Hebei, the third processing center radiating to Shanghai... multiple processing centers are being established simultaneously.
As for the growing pains of transformation and the losses suffered by the petrochemical company, they will naturally be adjusted from above. As a state-owned enterprise, everything still has the final say. The growing pains of transformation are inevitable, and everything must give way to development.
Although the petrochemical company was somewhat unhappy, they also knew that they had no room to question the decisions made by the higher-ups. Fortunately, they were a state-owned enterprise, and after the state took over gas, it would naturally not assess their sector.
As for the employees, they were retrained and reviewed. Except for those with problems and corrupt employees found by the supervisory department, the others were not laid off and are still in their original positions, but with different affiliations.
They had tried to raise this issue with higher authorities several times, even considering the idea of transferring the new gas to them since traditional liquefied gas could be compressed infinitely. However, after careful consideration, higher authorities rejected the idea of transferring the gas to a second-hand dealer and increasing the burden on the people. As a state-run company, they naturally prioritized public welfare, not simply profiting from it and allowing second-hand dealers to mark up prices and burden the people.
Instead of doing this, it is better to integrate the whole process from source to sales and pass on the profits to consumers. The country belongs to the people. The people are the most indispensable cornerstone. All development must comply with the interests of the country and the people.
At the same time, Rizhao, thousands of miles away, also received the good news of water price reduction, and at the same time, old water pipelines were replaced in various parts of the city.
Desalination plants don't want the purest water they deliver to residents to be contaminated. Old pipes, corroded and oxidized over the years, contribute significantly to the contamination of clean water.
However, even so, many people in Rizhao found that their tap water has become more delicious and no longer has the most common disinfectant taste. Especially when they received the news that the water bill was reduced by half, they couldn't help but sigh.
Now is the Internet age, and many netizens will spread the news online as soon as they hear it. It immediately attracted the attention of people across the country. Most cities where the policy has not been popularized could not help but call for a reduction in gas and water prices, as they also need a reduction in gas and water prices.
