Chapter 488 There is treasure in foreign garbage(1/2)
Chen Qi didn't give up, so he got out of the car and asked around. Unfortunately, the pedestrians coming and going didn't understand English.
Finally, I found a black uncle who looked like an intellectual. After some communication, I learned that in Sierra Leone, only the offices of high-ranking officials such as the General Office have air conditioning.
It’s not that ordinary wealthy people can’t afford it, but the power requirements for air conditioners are too high, and ordinary circuits simply can’t bear it.
In this hellish place where electricity is not guaranteed and there are power outages 4 days a week, the air conditioners you buy are just for decoration. This is why Chen Qi searched the entire city of Freetown and found no air conditioners for sale.
Of course, you can insist on buying it. Go to the largest department store, pay the deposit and wait.
Waiting for imported air conditioners, it will take less than half a year to install them in your home.
Half a year later, I am afraid that the grass on Commander-in-Chief Teodoro’s grave will already be 2 meters high.
Chen Qi was a little worried because he couldn't find the air conditioner. He took the money and boasted. If the patient died due to infection, this would not be done properly.
Moreover, the other party's special status may affect the two diplomacy, so no matter how meritorious Chen Qi is, he will be killed by the ministry.
There happened to be a fruit stall next to where Chen Qi parked his car. Because this poor country is located in the tropics, it has a very rich variety of fruits.
I don’t know how this country with a suitable climate and fertile land could end up in a situation where it cannot even solve the problem of food and clothing and needs foreign support for everything.
Chen Qi knelt down and felt good when he saw that the stall vendor was a smiling black aunt. He thought that it was the black aunt's luck that he met him today.
So the two of them discussed for a long time, and Chen Qi bought all the fruits in the stall, including mango, watermelon, butter fire, horned melon, achi fruit, etc. Anyway, they are all fruits that cannot be seen in China.
p>
Because these fruits are naturally ripe, they taste particularly fresh and sweet.
Chen Qi would buy a lot every time he went out on the street, and then load them into his car and take them back to his colleagues to eat. They were very popular among everyone.
Finally, with the help of a few black people, the huge space of this Lamborghini LMA002 was almost filled, and it only cost more than 20 US dollars.
It's really a bargain. At this price, Chen Qi estimates that he has been ripped off. It would definitely be cheaper to switch to a local.
Still on the hillside by the sea, Chen Qi faced the sea, sitting on the grass and chewing on the melon, the juice splashing everywhere.
The horned melon is also called the African horned melon, Mars fruit, and sea cucumber fruit. It is a local specialty with a yellow appearance, like a fat sea cucumber or fried hair ball.
The pulp is gelatinous and tastes like a mixture of cucumber, lemon and banana. It is fresh and refreshing, and has high water content. It is an important source of vitamins and water for the locals.
Chen Qi thought to himself that this fruit was delicious and cheap. He should buy more and bring it home for his family to try. Anyway, it wouldn’t go bad if stored in space.
Space?
Wait!
Chen Qi suddenly thought of something.
Speaking of space, when he brought back a pile of "foreign garbage" from the Mayo Clinic, there were not only various medical instruments, but also various obsolete office supplies from Mayo, as well as home appliances and furniture.
p>
In order to facilitate cleaning, they directly packaged them from two warehouses together, without any picking and choosing at all.
Chen Qi has not properly cleaned up this large pile of garbage. Maybe there is an unexpected surprise in it?
Chen Qi stood up and looked around from a distance. After confirming that there was no one within a few kilometers, he quickly dodged into the space.
When he came out, there were already two second-hand window air conditioners on the ground.
Do you know about window air conditioners?
In later generations, this thing could not be seen or bought in China. In home appliance stores, it was either a cabinet air conditioner or a hanging air conditioner.
The so-called window air conditioner, as the name suggests, is a small air conditioner that can be installed on the window.
Among household or office air conditioner products, window air conditioners are the earliest models to appear. They have the advantages of simple structure, low production cost, cheap price, easy installation, and reliable operation.
It still maintains a high market share in North America, Latin America, Australia, the Middle East and Hong Kong, my country.
When many people watch Hong Kong movies, they notice that the air conditioners in ordinary urban homes are almost all window air conditioners, because there are too many old houses in Hong Kong and the floor space is too small, so there is no place to put an outdoor air conditioner.<
/p>
Even in the wild, you can’t test whether the machine has a cooling effect.
At the time, Mayo's logistics director Teplow once said that all the machines in the warehouse can be used normally, but they are a little old.
Old home appliances and equipment that are really unusable will not be put into storage at all, and have long been taken away by the garbage removal company.
However, it is unknown whether second-hand items, especially machines that have been collecting dust in the warehouse for a long time, can be used. Thinking of this, Chen Qi no longer wanted to be lazy, got in the car, and ran to the hospital quickly.
As soon as the car arrived at the hospital, Chen Qi honked the horn and shouted to his colleagues:
"Hurry, come down and move the fruit. I bought it for you, young and old. Eat it while it's fresh."
The doctors and nurses who were not at work were delighted when they heard this, and they all rushed forward, carrying, carrying, and eating secretly.
Yi Zewen and Zhang Xing ran out, obviously more concerned about whether they had bought the legendary air conditioner:
"Dean Chen, have you bought the air conditioner? What does it look like?"
Chen Qi pointed to the two old machines on the roof of the car: "Hey, these are the two. I didn't buy new ones, just two second-hand ones. Take them off quickly."
As soon as they heard that there was air conditioning, many young doctors came over. Wherever there is excitement, Mao Mingming is indispensable.
Mao Mingming turned around twice and asked in disbelief:
"Boss Chen, are these two machines the only ones that can blow out air-conditioning? Where can I put these ice cubes?"
Chen Qi is angry and funny:
"Idiot, this air conditioner works by a compressor. Using ice is a local method in our country. Hurry up and bring the machine to me. I will install it now. Commander Teodoro's condition cannot wait.
”
Upon hearing that the patient was in urgent need, everyone became more serious and stepped forward to carry the machine to the "temporary sterile ward".
Chen Qi walked around and found that the "sterile ward" was already clean. The surrounding area was sealed with plastic film, and the ultraviolet lamp inside was being disinfected.
Two staff from the logistics department also came over, bringing with them a full set of work tools.
Although Chen Qi has never used a "window air conditioner", he knows how to install it after watching too many Hong Kong movies. This thing is very simple and does not require professional installers at all.
"Lao Zhang, please measure the size, then make an opening in the window so that the air conditioner can be inserted in, and then seal the window without leaving any gaps. Xiao Han, please find a way to build a shelf to remove the air conditioner's butt.
Fix it, don't fall down."
The two logisticians saw that this was a simple job, so they immediately pulled out the wood and started building it.
It only took more than an hour for the air conditioner to be installed.
Now everyone in the camp knows that Dean Chen has bought two air conditioners, and everyone is full of curiosity, wanting to experience the coolness of having cold air blowing on a hot day.
So there were three levels of people on the inside and three levels on the outside.
After the logistics staff pulled the wires over, Qi Yunming couldn't wait to turn on the switch.
At this time, the room was full of people watching the excitement. You must know that this sterile ward is sealed and airtight, and everyone is sweating.
As soon as the air conditioner is powered on, the compressor immediately starts running, and the sound is quite loud.
There is no way, this is a second-hand mobile phone, and coupled with the resonance of the windows and walls, it is strange that the sound is not quiet.
After a while, an unpleasant smell rushed out, and Qi Yunming and Chen Qi, who had their faces pressed against the air outlet, were blown away. Just as they were about to curse, they immediately felt a cool breeze coming.
Chen Qi had enjoyed air conditioning in his previous life. He knew it was air-conditioned, and he felt relieved. It was good that the machine was not broken.
But Qi Yunming has never tasted the smell of air conditioning. As soon as the cold wind blows, the pores shrink, and most of the sweat on his body immediately dissipates, and his whole body feels indescribably comfortable.
"Ah, it's cool, it's cool, it's cool! This air conditioner is really good. When it blows so cool, oh, it's so damn comfortable."
The cold wind blew past Chen Qi and Qi Yunming, and hit Hu Shixing and several other senior doctors, making these middle-aged doctors feel so comfortable that they wanted to moan.
Traditional Chinese medicine doctor Sun shook his head and commented:
"This cold wind belongs to wind-cold evil. Rheumatism invades the limbs and overflows in the muscles, leaving them unable to escape. Qi and blood are blocked, so it cannot be blown for a long time."
Director Hu glanced at Doctor Sun with contempt:
"Old Sun, I just told you that you will get sick. Gungun, go outside and bask in the sun. It will keep you warm and live a long life."
Doctor Sun closed his eyes: "I won't leave, I'm afraid of the heat."
Hahaha, several people all laughed, and then pushed forward one after another, hoping to get more cool breeze.
The leader and the senior doctors were all exposed to the cold wind, and the junior doctors behind them quit.
The air conditioner is inherently slow to cool down the entire room, and there are at least a dozen people in the room. The heat of their breath is mixed with the sweat on their bodies, and the people behind them can't feel a hint of cool breeze at all.
Then none of them stopped working. They were the main force working just now. Now they have no part in blowing air conditioners?
"Hey, Qi Chu, just blow it and let us feel it too..."
"That's right, Dean Chen, you who often go abroad have never seen an air conditioner, so don't block it..."
"Miracle Doctor Sun, be careful of your facial paralysis, get out of the way quickly, let us suffer this kind of pain..."
The people in front are still enjoying themselves, so why are they willing to give in? The people behind are pushing forward desperately for a little cool breeze. Not only does the temperature in the room not drop, but it is getting hotter and hotter.
Suddenly there was a bang and the air conditioner stopped moving. Everyone in the room was shocked.
Qi Yunming filmed a few times like he was filming a TV show, and asked strangely: "Why doesn't it stop? Is it broken?"
