Seeing the blue solar panels, an idea came to Song Wenbin's mind. He turned to look at the black people in the room and said, "You...uh...do you want to make rum tonight?"
Su Tina translated Song Wenbin's words.
The elder shook his head and said: "We don't give birth at night, we only give birth during the day. Although we are very poor, we can't do things like working overtime."
Song Wenbin laughed after hearing the translation: "That'll be easy."
Seeing Song Wenbin smiling, Su Tina and Huo Yu looked at him inexplicably, wondering why he could laugh.
Song Wenbin asked Huo Yu, "Are the cameras on?"
Huo Yu nodded in confusion: "It's open, what do you want?"
Song Wenbin shrugged: "Our program is actually just a sales program. How can we do it without advertising?"
After that, he walked to the solar panel outside the door and looked carefully at the solar panel by the firelight. Sure enough, he found a reserved number on the solar panel.
Su Tina saw Song Wenbin's movements and immediately understood what he was going to do. She couldn't help but widen her eyes and murmured: "No way... This is too ridiculous..."
Huo Yu didn't know what Song Wenbin was going to do yet, so he still looked at him confused.
"Hey, Sutina, what time is it in China?" Song Wenbin pressed the number and asked.
"No...I don't know...but...it must be during the day..." Sutina stammered.
"That's fine." Song Wenbin said.
The call was answered quickly.
"Hello, Longi Green Energy, how can I help you?"
A man's magnetic voice came from the phone.
Huo Yu, who was holding a camera on the side, was stunned.
She never expected that Song Wenbin would actually call Longi Green Energy, a domestic solar panel manufacturer.
"I need some solar panels and a complete set of power generation equipment." Song Wenbin said, "The energy generated needs to support the normal life of more than a dozen families and the normal production of a small winery."
"Well, I'm glad you are willing to choose our products."
The man on the phone said: "May I ask where you are now? If you want to buy our equipment, we will contact the local dealer for you. They will have a variety of technical solutions for you to choose from."
"I'm in the Caribbean." Song Wenbin said.
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
"Sir, where are you? We must know your location before we can help you contact nearby dealers." Longi Green Energy asked again.
"I'm in the Caribbean, the Caribbean near Panama."
Song Wenbin said.
"Are you serious?"
With the support of professionalism, the person on the phone had to ask again.
"I'm serious, I'm not playing tricks..."
Song Wenbin looked at the camera, took a deep breath, and said: "Although it may be difficult to explain, I am on an island near Panama and I really need your technical support..."
"Well, it doesn't matter, sir. Even if you are really in the Caribbean, we can still provide you with technical support." The operator said calmly.
"Really?" It was Song Wenbin's turn to be surprised.
He just had the attitude of giving it a try, but he didn't expect that the other end of the phone actually gave a firm answer.
"Yes, because our production areas are all over the world. Although we do not have a production base in Panama, we have production bases in the nearby United States and Brazil."
The man on the other end of the phone said confidently: "Our products must be sold in Panama, but it may take me a while to find a suitable dealer for you."
While he was talking, the sound of typing on the keyboard could already be heard on the other end of the phone.
"Ah, thank you so much." Song Wenbin said.
"It's okay. Is this the number you use?"
"Yes." Song Wenbin said.
"When I contact you, someone will call you. Do you need any more help?"
"No more, no more."
"Then please remember to rate my service, out of ten..."
The call was hung up, and for the first time, Song Wenbin actually answered the phone service staff's request for a rating and gave him a very favorable rating.
Turning his head, he saw the dull faces of Su Tina and Huo Yu.
"Really...really fake..." Huo Yu asked hoarsely.
"Do you want LONGi Green to install solar power stations on islands in the Caribbean?" Sutina asked dully. She never imagined that her strategy would work in this scenario.
"Why not?" Song Wenbin shrugged, "It is generating electricity anyway, and using solar energy is more environmentally friendly."
"What about the money..." Huo Yu asked hoarsely, "Where do you get the money..."
Before he finished speaking, a strange phone call came in. Song Wenbin immediately answered the phone. However, the voice on the phone was in English, and Song Wenbin could not understand a word. So Song Wenbin handed the phone to Su Tina.
Sutina was stunned for a few seconds after receiving the phone, and then she gradually became excited.
While talking to the person on the phone, Sutina asked about the specific number of households and application scenarios of the black people next to her. Soon, the two parties reached some kind of agreement.
Su Tina held down her phone and whispered to Song Wenbin: "The dealers here said they can help us solve the problem, but... they want a thousand dollars per unit..."
“One thousand dollars per household, how many households are here?”
Song Wenbin asked.
"The elders said that there are 25 families in their tribe." Sutina said.
"25 households means..."
"Twenty-five thousand US dollars," Sutina said, "Including installation costs and three years of after-sales service. As long as we agree, they will arrange delivery immediately."
“Where did we get twenty-five thousand dollars!
Huo Yu said loudly.
Song Wenbin was stunned.
A wry smile appeared on his face.
But he thought of something else.
I couldn't help but feel ridiculous and helpless.
In that absurdity and helplessness, this bitter smile turned into a happy laughter.
"Hahahahahahahahahaha~"
He was so happy that Huo Yu and Su Tina both looked at Song Wenbin who was laughing loudly with inexplicable expressions.
"We really don't have twenty-five thousand dollars right now."
Song Wenbin smiled and said, "But one of the three of us must have 200,000 yuan, right?"
Su Tina was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Huo Yu, couldn't help but laugh, and said, "Yes, two hundred thousand yuan, that's more than twenty-eight thousand US dollars, which is more than enough."
Only Huo Yu's expression changed drastically after hearing the conversation between the two. She reached out to grab Sutina's phone and screamed loudly: "How dare you agree!
"
Sutina took a step away and said to the phone in English, "Remember to send it over early during the day, we are in a hurry to use it!" "
"Sutina, you bitch!
! "Huo Yu was furious and reached out to tear Sutina's mouth off.
But Song Wenbin stopped her and said, "Hey, Huo Yu, why are you so excited?"
"Why am I excited!?"
Huo Yu said loudly: "Are you using my money for charity!?"
Song Wenbin was surprised and asked: "Why is it your money? Did you win?"
"Why didn't I win? Why didn't I win?"
Huo Yu grabbed his collar and said filial piety: "Am I the one who won the mobile phone!? Was I the first to land on the island!?"
"It's you."
Song Wenbin said: "But the game is not over. You may not be the one who survives to the end."
"Strong words, I have wild boar meat, I have a mobile phone! I have weapons, why can't I win to the end!?" Huo Yu asked Song Wenbin like crazy.
"But Huo Yu."
Song Wenbin grabbed her excited hand and asked softly: "I have a lot of food, I have a lot of self-heating rice, but why wasn't I the one who won in the end?"
Huo Yu was stunned.
"You...you...I...I..." She was speechless for a long time.
"Obviously, I have to accept the reality that you are on the island, and you also have to accept the reality that the pig is someone else's home. The scenes of your and my victory are all ideal situations and imagination. In fact... except for reality , no one can have the last laugh, right?" Song Wenbin asked softly.
...
...
Early the next morning, the elders of Pig Island took the whole island to the coast and started waiting. At about ten o'clock in the morning, a small cargo ship sailed over from the sea.
The cargo ship stopped at an earthen pier near the island. Many people jumped off the cargo ship. They came to the islanders and Song Wenbin and shook hands with them one by one.
The technician who came to be responsible for the installation probably told the black uncle from Pig Island about the situation. The black uncle was immediately overjoyed. He arranged for his black men to move forward and move boxes after boxes of huge paper packaging from the cargo ship. box.
On those packaging boxes, LONGi Green Energy’s logo is clearly visible.
A group of black people carried the panels and cautiously walked towards the residential area on the island amid the cheers of a dozen children.
Seeing how difficult it was for them to carry it, Song Wenbin suggested to the black uncle to use a tractor to drag the solar panels back at once. But the uncle refused him on the grounds that the tractor was too bumpy and he was afraid of damaging these precious equipment.
After arriving at the residential area on the island, technicians from Panama skillfully installed some new solar panels next to the residents' thatched houses, and installed more power generation equipment near the winery.
While the workers were installing the power generation equipment, Su Tina was not idle. She curiously touched around the solar panels, picked up the instructions from time to time and read them, and from time to time she would show off to Song Wenbin enthusiastically. knowledge.
"How about it? I made the right choice. The photoelectric conversion efficiency is 26.8%, ranking first in the world~"
"Can you stop advertising?" Huo Yu said with a stinky face: "Have they given you a penny?"
"They didn't give me any money, but Seals paid us wages." Sutina said in surprise, "This is our job."
Huo Yu rolled his eyes and didn't want to pay attention to her.
"Can you ask Seal to give us a salary increase?"
Song Wenbin asked Huo Yu: "We work so hard, isn't fifteen thousand a month too little?"
Huo Yu sneered: "Speak for yourself. By the way, there is also the matter of you slashing my car. When you return home, follow me to the police station. You won't lose a penny!"
"Aren't you going to ask the insurance company for compensation?" Song Wenbin said with a smile.
"Just the police station!" Huo Yu insisted.
"Okay, just go to the police station."
Song Wenbin said helplessly.
Soon, all the solar panels were installed. Thanks to the abundant sunlight on the island, soon all the light bulbs were on, and the electrical equipment in the rum production base was also operating in an orderly manner.
Song Wenbin called the director again.
This time he did not discuss it with the director, he just said: "Someone will take away twenty-five thousand US dollars from you later. Remember to pay it and it will be deducted from the final bonus."
The director did not find any further trouble, but said calmly: "You have the final say on your money."
After hanging up the phone, the elder of Zhudao was very happy. He stood in front of Song Wenbin, holding his hand excitedly and chattering non-stop.
Sutina translated for him on the side: "...Although our island has been independent for many years, it has never had many decent industries. Because of the volcano, many people have left the island. In the early years, we We want to develop tourism, but because of the volcano, the government has never approved it, so the remaining islanders can only survive by farming and making wine, which makes life on the island very difficult. In many cases, the sale of rum The money earned from wine is not even enough to buy diesel for power generation, let alone update the equipment.”
After a pause, Su Tina continued to translate for Song Wenbin: "The oil price has risen recently. The island has not even purchased new diesel for a long time. Daily electricity use has become a luxury for residents. But I am really lucky, maybe. With the blessing of the Pig God, I met you. It’s really amazing. This way of generating electricity, and with these batteries, not only do we save a lot of money on buying fuel, but we even have more electricity to brew rum. .....”
Song Wenbin listened to the other party's compliment without any disturbance in his heart. He just waved his hand to interrupt the Pig Island elder, and then told Su Tina: "You tell him that there are many restrictions on the use of solar energy. It cannot be used at night and cannot be used when it rains. If you make money, you still need to repair the diesel engines and use them together to protect the island from the risk of power outages."
Su Tina translated Song Wenbin's reminder.
The elder held Song Wenbin's hand tightly, nodded repeatedly, and said: "You are the ones who solve the problem. I was too abrupt before. I apologize to this young lady."
As he spoke, he bent deeply towards Huo Yu.
Huo Yu was a little embarrassed. She turned her head away and stretched out her hand like lightning to lift the elder up, not allowing him to express his affection for her in any way.
After the elder stood up, he held Song Wenbin's hand and continued: "I asked the natural experts who came here to shoot the documentary. The eruption crisis of this volcano may only happen in the past few decades, but I believe that as long as the crisis is over, . This island will be an excellent tourist attraction, and by then, I and my descendants will welcome you."
Song Wenbin thought that he could not wait until decades later to vacation in the Caribbean because he just wanted to relax now.
So he said: "I don't want to wait so long. Now that we have fulfilled your wish, can you grant mine?"
After hearing Song Wenbin's words, Elder Zhudao was stunned and asked, "What is your wish?"
Song Wenbin shrugged: "Since your tribe makes a living by making wine, then give us your best rum."
