The captain said: "Hurry up and boil some water and make two cups of tea for the two guests."
"Hey, okay." The subordinate, who looked like he was in trouble, agreed and could only turn around and walk out of the office.
Turning around, the captain smiled and said: "Two gentlemen, it's easier to talk now. I think you two are of good standing. If you have anything to say, please just say, do you need our fire brigade for anything?" ?”
In fact, the fire brigade is really not the fire-fighting hero of later generations these days. Because the response ability in this era is very slow, and everything is learned from the West, firefighting is just a pure profession in this era. It's not like the later generations, who are really retrograde heroes who can do almost anything to help the people, such as disaster relief, putting out fires, preventing suicides, intercepting rings, etc.
So this year, especially the fire protection in the concession, that is even more true. Their equipment is actually generally much better than fire protection in other places. However, the main service targets are some big shots in the concession. You seem to be an ordinary person. If something really happened, believe it or not, it would take a few hours to arrive. This is not an exaggeration. And sometimes, if you don't give money, he may just look at it as if it's on fire and just won't do anything. Let me tell you: Oh no, I’m afraid I can’t control this fire. We can investigate the perimeter now and determine the isolation area...
In fact, professional firefighting, from the perspective of future generations, does not mean rushing in without investigating. It is indeed necessary to detect the fire situation and plan tactics so that the fire can be extinguished more quickly and safely.
But in this era, he just uses this excuse to get you to use money. If you don't use the money, do you believe that he can continue the investigation for a while and then establish an isolation outside without putting out the fire?
Another situation is that if a fire breaks out in a wealthy family, they will not collect money first. The first point is because they established their residence to serve the big shots in the French Concession. On the other hand, these rich people, or people with status, whose homes are in good condition, will give two or more rewards after the fire is extinguished. Therefore, as one goes and the other goes, they are even less willing to deal with ordinary people, so the situation of not spending money and not spending money becomes more and more serious.
This situation, ironically, has turned into an action that is beneficial to Yong Yuanju and Ying Xiaqing. After the captain directly said "please speak frankly", Yong Yuanju knew that today would not be in vain. So, after asking the captain's name, he came up with a set of words that he had prepared a long time ago.
Yong Yuanju said: "Captain Kang, it's like this. I bought a house on Wensen Road. We Chinese are very particular about the joy of moving into a new house. When we have a new house, we should have a banquet with relatives and friends to celebrate together and share. But, on the day of the banquet, I plan to set off more fireworks and so on, which is a bit... what should a professional do? Call it a fire hazard, right?"
Kang Fuming smiled and nodded, saying: "Mr. Yong is right, we do call it this word." In fact, he was beginning to feel happy. Because just after hearing Yong Yuanju's opening words, before he said anything specific, he could almost judge in his mind: Come on, this is another small fortune for himself and his subordinates.
Sure enough, Yong Yuanju directly followed his heart and said: "There is a fire hazard here. I will have some high-status friends coming that day, which is not good. But when you have a new house, you can't help but set off firecrackers." Seek good luck and avoid disaster. This anxiety really made me think of our water dragon team, which is a famous team of fire-fighting heroes.
And I also heard that our team has the most advanced automatic water spray truck in Shanghai. Therefore, I took the liberty of coming here to discuss with Captain Kang whether I can invite the automatic water spray truck of our water dragon team to come to the scene when I am entertaining guests on my housewarming anniversary. First of all, it is to prevent the occurrence of fire hazards.
The presence of your team of fire-fighting heroes gives me reassurance, and I can entertain my relatives and friends with peace of mind. Secondly, this also happens to allow us to get more familiar with each other, interact with the fire-fighting heroes, get to know each other, and get familiar with each other. Captain Kang, look, our water dragon team, can you help us then? "
After Kang Fuming listened, he didn't directly hear how much the other party said. But he was a gentleman of high status, so how could he say it openly? So Kang Fuming knew this well, so he was even more happy now, and was sure that he and his men would definitely make some extra money this time.
So Kang Fuming smiled and said: "Mr. Yong, you are too polite. What our water dragon team does is to prevent and eliminate fires. I think prevention is better than elimination. We must nip the fire in its bud before it ignites. This is a more important job. So, you asked us to go to the scene to prevent fire hazards, which is what we have to do."
But after saying this, Kang Fuming felt that he agreed a little too quickly. If the other party looked down on him and the reward was less in the end, wouldn't that be a loss? So he immediately changed the topic and said: "But... you also know that the area we are responsible for is not small. We must be ready to go to any place in the area to fight fires at any time. For things like fires, you must I also know that there is no such thing as being on time. It can happen at any time, and if something unexpected happens...it happens to happen on the day when Mr. Yong is entertaining guests, we will definitely have to go out to rescue him.
So... Mr. Yong, we are definitely willing to help you prevent fire hazards. It's just... I'm not saying this in a negative way, I'm really not sure. I hope Mr. Yong understands something. "
"Understood, I definitely understand this." Yong Yuanju looked at Ying Xiaqing next to him and said, "Did you see it? Captain Kang is really a fire-fighting hero. He is selfless and admirable."
Ying Xiaqing said from the side: "Yes, his fame spreads far and wide. Boss, I heard that Captain Kang once performed a very heroic act, just like Zhao Zilong in ancient times. He entered and exited seven times in a fire and rescued There are several members of a French businessman family. It is said that at that time, the French Paris Journal specially reported the matter."
"Hahahaha. Where is it?" Kang Fuming actually knew that the other party was talking flatteringly about him, but he still couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. But this is normal, who doesn’t want to listen to flattery...
