Chapter 82 The Eighty-Second Patent



The other boss's expression froze for a moment, then he immediately denied it firmly: "I just installed it. You said the iron box is an iron box."

Boss Pan: "Then do you dare to try it out right here and see if your fall arrester works or if it's just a useless iron box? Do you dare?"

He swore solemnly.

The other boss hesitated for a moment, not sure whether Boss Pan was deceiving him or telling the truth.

But judging from the current situation, if he finds an excuse to refuse, wouldn't that indirectly indicate that he feels guilty?

And if the facts are really as Boss Pan said, the high-altitude fall arrester he installed has turned into an iron box and requires Boss Pan's card to unlock it, then that thing is useless to him.

He was not worried about the fact that he bought stolen goods being exposed. He did not steal the items. At most, he was greedy and was cheated. He was also a victim.

Thinking of this, he confidently asked someone to cooperate in demonstrating it to Boss Pan.

The worker on the upper floor casually threw a steel bar down, and the steel bar fell to the ground with a "clang". During this period, the high-altitude fall arrester did not react at all.

Boss Pan said proudly: "See, there is no reaction."

The other boss was unconvinced: "It was just once, maybe the machine didn't sense it just now, it will definitely catch it next time."

Boss Pan made a gesture of invitation and let him try it at his leisure.

The other boss refused to believe it and started a fight with the high-altitude fall arrester, insisting on proving that the stolen device he installed could also be used normally.

He kept directing the workers to throw down the tools and steel from the roof.

In a short while, the ground downstairs was covered with steel.

The high-altitude fall arrester was never activated once from beginning to end.

Boss Pan: "Boss Wang, do you believe it now?"

Boss Wang was embarrassed and said nothing.

"Actually, I've known for a while that you have my machine," Boss Pan pulled out another access card and waved it in front of Boss Wang. "This card can track down my machine's location. No matter who buys it, I can track them down. How else do you think I found you?"

Boss Wang looked embarrassed. Thinking about his behavior just now, he suddenly felt that he had been fooled by Boss Pan.

Why didn't you show him the evidence earlier? You deliberately baited him and watched him jump up and down like a monkey.

However, Boss Wang was thick-skinned and did not show his embarrassment on his face. He even had time to shirk responsibility.

"Boss Pan, if you hadn't come today, I would have known I was scammed. The salesman told me he had the installation authorization, and I was anxious to install it at my own construction site, so I didn't think much of it. I had no idea his machine was stolen."

Boss Wang wanted to shirk responsibility, but he could not escape the police investigation.

Finally, according to his confession, the thief came to him to sell the stolen goods after stealing the high-altitude fall arrester. The thief's offer was not high, so he bought the stolen goods for the sake of cheapness. He took his brother-in-law and nephew to install it himself.

This time, Boss Wang did not get any advantage and even suffered losses.

Since the thief has already squandered the stolen money and it cannot be recovered, the loss caused by purchasing the stolen goods must be borne by himself.

No matter how cheap the stolen goods were, they were not picked up for free. He spent real money and paid 70% of the original price to buy them from the thief.

Boss Wang's cleverness backfired and he is now completely ruined.

The thefts of Gao Dacheng and Boss Pan were reported, which deterred other people who were ready to make evil moves.

Each company has its own permission card, and logging into the anti-theft software can track the machine's whereabouts in real time.

As long as the thief will be caught 100%, no one will be stupid enough to steal the high-altitude fall arrester no matter how attractive the price is on the black market.

During this period, Sister Tu and the other two passers-by recovered from their injuries.

Although the accident delayed them for nearly two months and affected everyone's work and studies, fortunately they received good treatment, their recovery process went smoothly, and there were no sequelae.

They returned to their posts on time, and Sister Tu also returned to work safely.

When Sister Tu came back and saw Dai Li, her first reaction was to hug her and cry.

Dai Li was helpless and could only reach out and pat her on the back: "It's all fine now, isn't it? There won't be such accidents again in the future."

Sister Tu: "I'm not crying because I was injured. Except for the initial pain, I've been doing fine. I eat well and sleep well every day, and the rehabilitation of the bionic bone is not painful at all."

The caregiver we hired took excellent care of her, and it was more relaxing than a vacation.

Dai Li didn't understand: "Then why are you crying now?"

Sister Tu: "It's all because of you."

Dai Li: "What's wrong with me?"

"Because I was injured, you invented a high-altitude fall arrester for me and even found a way to promote it nationwide. You were so furious because of me. I'm like the beloved concubine who is loved by everyone. Even Yang Guifei can't compare to me."

Sister Tu is sincere and kind.

As soon as she finished speaking, the employees in the company couldn't help but burst out laughing.

They completely destroyed the atmosphere that Sister Tu had created.

"What are you laughing at? What did I say that's wrong? Are you jealous of the treatment I receive?"

"No, Mr. Tu, if it was anyone else here who encountered falling objects, Boss Dai would also have invented a device to drop objects from high altitudes." The employees argued with Sister Tu mercilessly.

Of course, Sister Tu also knew the truth. To Dai Li, not only she was important, but other employees in the company were equally important. Even if they were strangers, Dai Li could not stand idly by.

But Sister Tu was no slouch when it came to talking: "How can you compare with me? If you had encountered falling objects from high altitude, Dai Dai would at most have included a high altitude fall arrester in her plans, and she wouldn't have come up with the machine so quickly like she did now."

The employees were stunned for a moment.

Sister Tu looked back at Dai Li proudly, wanting to get her reply.

Dai Li narrowed her eyes and smiled, following Sister Tu's words and said, "Sister Tu is right."

Sister Tu was immediately satisfied, raised her chin proudly, and went back to her office.

Dai Li was also preparing to return to her workshop, and Wu Xuelin followed her closely.

"Boss, you really dote on her."

Dai Li took a moment to realize who he was referring to, and turned her head and said, "Really?"

Wu Xuelin: "From inclusion in the plan to successful development, isn't it just a matter of two or three days for you? You're talking as if you'd delay it for as long as someone else got injured."

Dai Li was silent for a moment. "Sister Tu has just recovered from a serious illness, so let her be happy for a while. Besides, how could she not know how long it takes me to research new inventions? She just wants to hear some nice words."

Wu Xuelin went back to the workshop to get a cup of water. When he passed by Dai Li, he shrugged lightly: "That's why I said you should spoil her and say things that she likes."

Dai Li did not deny this statement.

Sister Tu was the first friend she met in this world, so it was not difficult to say something she liked to hear.

Sister Tu was really happy today and opened the doors of each department's offices one by one.

"Happy events bring joy to the soul. I'll treat everyone to a feast someday."

Sister Tu kept her word and invited everyone in the company to a high-end restaurant the next day, telling them they could order whatever they wanted.

"Wu Xuelin, you too, eat as much as you want. I'm in a good mood today, so I won't mind your appetite."

Wu Xuelin was not polite to Sister Tu at all and ordered all the most expensive ingredients on the menu.

It doesn't matter whether it tastes good or not, it must be the most expensive. Wu Xuelin ordered all the expensive items on the menu. In addition, he was cunning enough to order top-quality ingredients that were not on the menu and four bottles of good wine one day in advance.

Many of the ingredients and wines he ordered were unfamiliar to Sister Tu. When she asked the waiter about the prices, Sister Tu suddenly felt dizzy and had pain in her body for a while.

The top-quality ingredients have been ordered and four bottles of wine have been opened, so refunds are definitely not possible.

Sister Tu stared at him intently, gritting her teeth and saying, "You're really not polite at all."

Wu Xuelin flipped through the menu slowly, completely ignoring Sister Tu's vicious gaze. "That's right, it's rare that Mr. Tu forgives a glutton like me and lets me order whatever I want. I can't let Mr. Tu's kindness go to waste."

He closed the menu with a smile, as if to say: Look, I'm giving you more face.

Sister Tu: "You are quite knowledgeable. You only pick the expensive ones. I don't recognize any of the things you ordered."

Wu Xuelin: "Even if I haven't eaten pork, have I seen pigs run?"

The top-quality ingredients processed in the restaurant’s kitchen were served on the table and were snatched up in less than three minutes.

This group of employees looked like they hadn't had a full meal for eight hundred years. They swallowed the food without even chewing it, just like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit.

Sister Tu frowned. She should have treated them to hotpot earlier. What a waste of good food.

She underestimated the fighting power of the company's employees. The dishes Wu Xuelin ordered were not enough, so Wu Xuelin ordered a few more seafood dishes.

After the meal, Sister Tu's wallet was bleeding.

On the way back, Sister Tu felt so painful that she couldn't breathe when looking at the receipt that was more than one meter long.

She stared at the back of Wu Xuelin's head, wishing she could stare a hole in the head of this culprit.

He chose the restaurant and secretly ordered the expensive ingredients and wine.

Dai Li couldn't bear to see this and said casually, "I'll reimburse you when I get back."

Wu Xuelin, who was driving in the front, shook his shoulders and laughed.

Sister Tu's face changed, but she still had some shamelessness to the point of not even wanting to treat him to a meal.

"We agreed to treat you, Dai Dai, so what's the matter with you paying for it when we get back?"

Wu Xuelin: "Mr. Tu, since the money has been spent, no matter how sad it is, the money will not be returned, so why not spend it happily."

Sister Tu: "You're so stingy. I've known you for so long, but I've never seen you spend a penny. If it was you who spent the money today, you would definitely feel more distressed than me."

Wu Xuelin: "That's right, that's why I never treat others to a meal easily."

Sister Tu: "If I could have a meal with you one day, I would definitely buy a lottery ticket that day. I would definitely win the jackpot."

Wu Xuelin: "You'll never win the lottery. It's better to work hard with your boss and make money. You can earn back the money you spend today very quickly."

"I'll kill you for being so stingy. You might as well just say you'll never treat me to a meal in this lifetime." Then she complained to Dai Li, "Daidai, have you ever seen anyone more stingy than him?"

It was enough for him to complete his work. Dai Li really didn't care whether Wu Xuelin was stingy or not. She smiled and said, "But he is right. Work hard and you will be able to earn back the money you spent today soon."

Sister Tu agreed with this point of view, but she just couldn't control her pain. She didn't know whether she would still feel bad about today's spending when she had as much money as Dai Dai, but what was certain was that her sense of happiness would increase.

Sister Tu, whose wallet was bleeding today, said ambitiously, "We are going to make the company stronger and bigger. From now on, I will go on shopping and eating without blinking an eye."

Sister Tu gave up her lofty ambitions and said she wanted to make the company bigger and stronger, but not long after, the company ran into trouble, which directly affected their company's reputation.

The cause was that someone exposed that DL's OEM factory did not strictly treat sewage, and the pipes discharged sewage directly into the area, polluting the local water source, causing serious damage to the local environment, and threatening people's safety.

The incident happened in the factory that Lao Kang was in charge of. He chose the factory site and was also in charge of the production line.

Guan Honghou and Lao Kang did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately ran to report the details to Dai Li.

As soon as Lao Kang opened his mouth, he stated that he had not violated any emission regulations.

"My factory has a sewage treatment system. The sewage from the factory undergoes strict testing before being discharged. It is only discharged after it meets national standards."

"So what's the real situation? Is someone spreading rumors and slandering us?" Dai Li asked with a frown.

Lao Kang sighed and said, "It's my fault for not choosing the right site. It's all a historical problem."

The factory where the accident happened was taken over by Lao Kang from a friend. That friend wanted to move the production line abroad, so the domestic factory was vacant and he was looking for someone to take over.

Lao Kang visited his factory and found that the equipment and facilities inside the factory were complete and the factory building was also new.

It happened that Guan Honghou had just taken over Dai Li's new project and was looking for a suitable new factory. After Lao Kang joined the company, he remembered his friend's factory and transferred it to his own hands.

There is no problem with the supporting facilities of this factory. Moreover, after taking over, Lao Kang also purchased new equipment according to the needs of the production line. The sewage treatment system was configured by him later.

The trouble started with a small village across the river from the factory, as they affected the sewage discharge of the entire river.

Since the last century, a lot of foreign garbage has been imported. Low-cost raw materials and precious metals can be extracted from this garbage to accelerate the development of the manufacturing industry.

The price of importing foreign garbage is serious damage to the local ecological environment. During the smelting process, solid waste will release toxic gases and discharge large amounts of toxic liquids, polluting the atmosphere, soil and water sources.

Thirty years ago, in the small village across the river, every family was engaged in the business of importing foreign garbage.

Some of them are family workshops, while others are small enterprises, providing one-stop services from importing, processing and selling raw materials.

Many people in small villages made their first fortune by importing foreign garbage and started other investments to make more money. Their wallets became fatter, and they moved to prosperous metropolises and beautiful places with beautiful mountains and rivers, but they brought irreparable disasters to the local ecological environment.

"Isn't it forbidden to import foreign garbage now?" Sister Tu didn't quite understand why foreign garbage is still being imported.

Guan Honghou: "It can no longer be imported through formal channels, but it can still be smuggled in."

Lao Kang: "They have ready-made shipping routes and connections, so smuggling foreign garbage is very easy for them."

Sister Tu frowned in confusion and said, "Why do they only stick to the garbage disposal business? Can't they try another business?"

Lao Kang: "There's a lot of money to be made from processing electronic waste. There's a lot of profit to be made from importing foreign waste. A lot of rare and precious metals can be extracted from discarded electronic products."

Dai Li: "It's not just about making money from recycling. A single labor industry has very low risk tolerance."

It would be fine if the industry had development prospects, but importing foreign garbage is destined not to be an industry with development prospects.

Once the document on the complete ban on the import of foreign garbage came down, it brought a devastating disaster to the local area.

In the past, the processing of foreign garbage could bring considerable profits, and people from the entire village flocked in to compete to do the foreign garbage business.

Thirty years is enough to squeeze out other industries in the small village.

This makes them unable to think of any other business that is more profitable and easier except for handling foreign garbage.

Coupled with environmental damage, it will be even more difficult to develop other industries.

Lao Kang: "That's exactly what Teacher Dai said."

Some people don't want to change their industries, but they don't make money, so they end up going back to the garbage disposal business.

Anyway, the environment has been damaged, and everyone in the village has a bit of a broken jar mentality.

Dai Li: "How do they deal with sewage?"

Lao Kang: "It's discharged secretly at night."

They buried culverts underground, and the pipes went directly from the village to the river.

They will not discharge sewage openly during the day. They will collect the sewage they produce in barrels and discharge it through culverts after dark.

Everyone lines up together, so it's hard to pinpoint specific individuals.

Sister Tu asked doubtfully, "So the responsibility for polluting the environment lies solely with them, so why are they reporting us?"

Guan Honghou: "Our factory occupies a large area and uses a lot of water every day, which makes it more conspicuous than theirs. They are small family-run units, and each family's production volume is not large, so wastewater is not discharged every day."

Sister Tu: "The local government doesn't care?"

Lao Kang: "We are treating it, but it's been polluted for over 30 years. The river's self-purification capacity is limited, so it can't be treated so quickly. Plus, they're still secretly discharging waste. The person who exposed us was a passerby and had no idea of ​​the specific situation."

Sister Tu: "It's good that it has nothing to do with us. I will contact Mr. Xiao immediately and issue a public relations announcement to clarify."

Lao Kang felt extremely guilty: "Teacher Dai, I'm so sorry. It was my negligence in choosing the site that caused you so much trouble. I'm afraid the bad impact has already been caused. Even if we clarify the situation, we won't be able to convince everyone. After all, the local environment is severely damaged. Our clarification seems more like shirking responsibility."

Dai Li was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something. "What does the video exposed online look like? Let me see it."

Sister Tu immediately stood up and said, "I'll go find it."

She turned around and saw that Wu Xuelin had already handed the tablet to Dai Li.

The person who exposed the Dai Li Company is a small blogger who occasionally takes some daily vlg photos. This time, he was riding past the local area and accidentally saw the smelly river with a metallic luster.

At first, he didn't think about exposing the video, because this was not the only polluted river in the country, and filming it would not become big news.

After riding a mile, he saw DL's factory, with the company's name clearly written on the factory gate.

The blogger was not calm at that time.

Like all young people, he has a special love and admiration for DL ​​Company.

He also queued up to grab DL's new technological products and was also worried about not being able to get them.

If the blogger had faced an ordinary business, the blow might not have been so great.

He likes DL's products so much that he regards all of them as divine inventions in his mind.

It was like being betrayed by the person he trusted the most. His pain was indescribable and his love for DL ​​Company was shattered in that instant.

The blogger immediately turned the car around and went back to record the smelly river.

The video screen moves with the blogger, showing the real scene of the river and its surroundings.

Outside the video, the blogger complained bitterly about his disappointment with DL company.

"I admit that I really like your company's products. They provide us with great convenience, help us solve many problems, and improve our happiness. I've also snatched your tech products, but if the price of happiness and convenience is built on the premise of indiscriminate disposal and environmental pollution, I would rather you close down as soon as possible."

The blogger's love and hate are deep, and his language is quite emotional.

But judging by the pictures he took, it is understandable why he was so angry.

The water in the river was black with a metallic sheen, with no signs of life visible. Dead bodies of small animals could be found on the riverbank from time to time.

He must have come to drink water because he was thirsty, and eventually died from the polluted river water.

According to the blogger, a strong smell of sewers could be smelled at the scene.

It's no wonder the blogger misunderstood. There is only one factory in the area, and in the blogger's understanding, only the factory's sewage discharge could ruin the river like that.

After the blogger exposed it, the video quickly became popular because it contained the keywords of DL company.

The blogger was no longer the only one to be disillusioned.

[月貑貑]: On the one hand, you are making a lot of money, and on the other hand, you are secretly polluting the environment, and all the benefits go to you.

[_月见]: Damn, I didn’t expect DL company to be such a company. If the blogger hadn’t exposed it, I would still be kept in the dark. I will never buy from such an unscrupulous company again.

[Waiter who is just passing by]: Is anyone taking care of this? Judging from the color of the water, it has been discharged for quite some time. Don’t the local law enforcement agencies do anything about it?

[My three roommates and I] replied to [The waiter who was just there to watch the show]: You are still too young. As long as the money is paid, the law enforcement agencies will turn a blind eye. Believe it or not, DL Company will still be selected as an outstanding enterprise next year/dog head.

[xxxda]: I dare say that they would never dare to queue up without some connections. If they queue up today, they will be blocked tomorrow.

[Qingcai Tou]: According to the development trend of DL Company, how much GDP can one of their factories boost in the local area? How can the local area not treat it as a treasure?

[McDonald's Chili]: I am really disappointed with DL company. I will never buy their products again. I will cancel my registration and restock now.

[花鸟风月]: Could you please wait a little longer? It’s too early to draw a conclusion now. Officials from DL company haven’t spoken yet. It’s very likely that the river water has nothing to do with them.

[小A+] replied to [花鸟风月]: I can already guess what the statement means without them issuing one. The pollution of the river has nothing to do with them, and they are trying to shift the blame.

[sara] replied to [Xiao A+]: You are right, predicting the official announcement of DL company in advance.

Lao Kang was right. Any official explanation will be regarded by netizens as shirking responsibility.

Sister Tu: "We can't not issue a statement. How about this, Mr. Kang and Mr. Guan, go to the local area and collect some evidence to prove that the environmental pollution has nothing to do with our company."

"That's all there is to it," Old Kang sighed miserably, "What the hell is going on here?"

Wu Xuelin: "This only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. There are many conspiracy theorists online who only believe their own interpretations. Even official explanations are considered to be motivated by personal interests and will be misinterpreted and spread as rumors."

Everyone present fell into a strange silence for a moment.

They were at a loss as to what to do and couldn't think of a way to have the best of both worlds.

Sister Tu: "Daidai, you're being forced to just read the comments online. Do you have any solutions?"

Dai Li slid her fingers across the tablet screen and said calmly without looking up, "Then let's go to the scene and deal with Ben."

Everyone looked over in confusion.

Wu Xuelin: "Boss, are you talking about solving the sewage problem?"

??Dai Li suddenly stood up and returned the tablet to Wu Xuelin.

"Yes, to solve the sewage problem."
