"It's very good. This is the third generation of gas lamp system, right?" Sun Dapeng, general manager and chief designer of the company, was talking to installation engineers from the East Coast Gas Company in the Nancheng District, Luoyang.

The scale of Dapeng Architectural Design Firm is getting bigger and bigger. It has now hired more than a hundred people, including designers (including apprentices). Although it cannot rank first in the domestic architectural design industry in the East Coast, it is still firmly in the top three. It is not far from the design institute and transportation design bureau directly under the Ministry of Construction, and it is not impossible to surpass them in the future.

Dapeng Architectural Design Firm undertakes the design business of several landmark buildings in the new capital Luoyang Prefecture, such as Luoyang Railway Station, Nareshkin Building, Taoist Federation and Mingjing Lake Nursing Home. They even went overseas and took over the design projects of the Balin Island Naval Club, the Liba Island Trade Center and Liangshan City. The business is blooming everywhere, and the profits are rolling in, which makes others envious.

According to reports, in the future, Dapeng Architectural Design Firm will have two headquarters, one located on Expo Street in Qingdao Port and the other located on Hepan Road in the Nancheng District of Luoyang. They are all places where every inch of land is valuable, showing the company's strength and taste.

There were many people who wanted to invest in the firm, but most of them failed. To date, 75 of the company's total 100 shares are controlled by Sun Dapeng, 10 of the remaining 25 shares are in the hands of several major designers and sales representatives, and 15 shares are in the hands of partners (usually construction companies). Sun Dapeng is still the actual controller of the company.

With larger business and more staff, the office space and office facilities also need to be updated. Just a few months ago, Sun Dapeng made the decision to start from the Spanish owners, and they are now from the East Coast. After buying the houses on both sides of the left and right, Dapeng Firm began to decorate the high level, and the gas system is naturally the top priority.

Modern life on the East Coast cannot be separated from the help of gas. For example, the super lighting ability of gas lamps. Dapeng Design Firm often needs to catch drawings overnight because of its busy business. It is simply unimaginable without the help of gas lamps. After all, you cannot rely on the dim fire of candles or oil lamps to help you do things, right? For example, in order to fight against the aggressive electrical competition, Dongban Gas Company, the only legal entity that franchises gas business, has laid many defenses. After research and development, they launched gas stoves and gas stoves for use by urban middle and high-income classes, and improved the air quality of cities.

As soon as the gas stove and gas stove were launched, they were sought after by the wealthy class. They loved this relatively clean utensil and used it as a symbol of civilized life. The wealthy class was like this, and many middle-class people with higher incomes also bought a lot of them in a fashion and gritted their teeth and paid a considerable initial installation fee to the East Coast Gas Company, trying their best to move their living standards closer to wealthy families.

Dongban Gas Company once conducted research and analysis, and finally concluded that the production and sales volume of gas stoves and gas stoves should be increased by 10% per year, so that their production costs and initial installation costs can also be reduced, which will stimulate the further increase in sales of these products, and finally make them a standard for middle-class and above families in the Eastbank. Especially when stratified apartment buildings are beginning to become popular in cities, the installation and use costs of gas stoves and gas stoves will be much lower.

The launch of gas stoves and gas stoves has caused the sales of honeycomb coal to decline, and the operating profits of enterprises have also fallen. At present, in addition to the honeycomb coal factories under the coal mining bureaus (they have resource advantages), the lives of the originally self-operated honeycomb coal factories in various counties and townships have gradually become sad. For this reason, state-owned capital has begun to gradually withdraw from this field and hand them over to private capital with lower production costs and more flexible operations, although the quality of honeycomb coal produced by these private business owners is often criticized.

In addition, it is said that East Coast Gas Company is spending a lot of money to develop a new product, namely a gas water boiler, and has tried to produce several models. In the future, it may choose one of them and put it on the market. To be honest, this product is quite trendy and may be favored by the wealthy class in the future and then slowly spread to the middle class. East Coast Gas Company hopes to increase the demand for gas by these products and keep the profits of the gas transmission pipeline they once spent huge amounts of money to borrow from banks and are currently paying for principal and interest every year. Now East Coast Electric Power Company is becoming more active, and the threat to gas companies is not very large at present, but who knows in the future? It is reasonable to maintain a certain sense of crisis, which will help the company's long-term development.

Dapeng Architectural Design Firm is currently installing a brand new third-generation gas lamp and first-generation gas stove, gas stove (which is mainly used in the kitchen, providing company employees with three meals a day and overtime snacks). Including the initial installation fee, the total cost has reached thousands of yuan, but Sun Dapeng believes that all this is worth it. It can buy quality of life at the right price, so why not do it?

Here is an additional note that the third generation of Dongban Gas Company's product is centralized gas supply, and is no longer the old products that used to require you to build a boiler room (used to install gas generators) and independently design gas pipelines. The type has been eliminated and sold to the Far East as a cheap second-hand product to recover residual value.

The new gas pipeline is cleaner than before. The odors that once affected the user experience (mainly ammonia, coke, asphalt and sulfur) have completely disappeared. Dongban Gas Company and the Engineering and Technology Research Institute have jointly developed the technology to treat by-products in gas. Taking ammonia as an example, the Eastban Gas Company currently handles it at a cost of about one cubic meter and eight cents, and then sells it to Northern Chemical Factory and other companies to produce ammonium sulfate. This is a very valuable chemical that is beneficial to agricultural production. Although farmers on the Eastbank are not very keen on purchasing chemical fertilizers, they still have sales in some professional farms.

Coke and asphalt can also be recycled and processed to generate economic benefits. East Coast Gas Company now sells recycled coke at a ton of hexadecimal price lower than the market price, while asphalt market is better. One cubic meter can be sold for nine yuan, which is much cheaper than the products transported from the asphalt lake in Huaiyuan Island (Trinida). The only disadvantage is that whether it is ammonia, coke, asphalt or sulfur, because they are all recycling and treatment products, their output is too small. The turnover in this regard is still not enough. The raw material source of ammonium sulfate from the Northern Chemical Plants is only 4.1%, from the East Coast Gas Company, 6.5% from the coke industry, 74.5% from the metallurgy industry, and the rest from other complicated industries. If you want to achieve growth, you should find ways to expand gas users and increase gas supply, so that you can get greater profits.

When the new capital was planning, it had already proposed to install gas lamps in residential buildings, which may be expanded to gas furnaces, gas stoves and even gas water boilers in the future, which is a major benefit for the East Coast Gas Company. The new capital Luoyang Prefecture is a benchmark, and other major cities may follow suit in the future. After the cost of technological development is further reduced, it may also be expanded to the lieutenant colonel city, which will be issued.

As the boss of Dongban Gas Company, Wang Huadu (the rest of the management team, who already holds 10% of the private shares in the company, looks like nearly 5% of the shares) is very eager to see this day come. For this reason, he decided to give Luoyang Prefecture users a "shocking discount price" to attract more people to use their company's products. The gas business may have a profit margin that is not as good as other industries, but because of the huge user base, the total profit is actually not very large, and this is a long-term business. Every knowledgeable family knows what this means in the future. The richest man in a special zone likes to invest in public utilities such as water supply, gas supply, power supply, telephone, etc. This is not without reason.

Gas lamps, gas stoves, gas stoves, gas water boilers, toilets, tap water are basically the standard configurations for the future middle-class life in the east coast cities. Well, there is also a complete light rail street car system, steam-powered street car is currently gradually replacing horse-drawn street car, which will obviously lead to a decrease in the number of imported Sharmas from the UK, but this is a trend for department stores selling goods around the world, hospitals that can perform surgical operations, and city parks, libraries, and colorful cultural and entertainment activities, such as polo, chess, dramas, concerts, etc. The urban life of the East Coast Republic of China has unknowingly surpassed dozens of streets in the old continent.

It’s no wonder that the rich people in Ning Shao, Denglai and other places would immigrate to the East Coast. They really didn’t know if they didn’t see it. They were shocked when they saw it. They were used to the comfortable and secure life on the East Coast, who would still be willing to live a backward life? The only disadvantage of the East Coast is probably that it is not very convenient to hire servants. This requires increasing the input of non-national labor workers from the old road, which is difficult to solve in the short term, but this is not an irreversible obstacle. Overall, life here is more comfortable, and no one has any objection to this.

After negotiating the details of installation, commissioning and after-sales service charges with engineers from the East Coast Gas Company, Sun Dapeng ended his conversation with him and then devoted himself to work. Although he is already the company's boss, he is still engaged in design work out of his love for the design industry and his desire to leave a name in history. For example, he is preparing to take charge of the design of the brand new Luoyang Railway Station (located in Shendu District), and plans to add some special and pioneering elements to it to make the building more dazzling. If possible, he also hopes that the building can be preserved and not demolished, becoming a part of the history of the East Coast, and a tourist and commemoration attraction.

The design time for Luoyang Railway Station is abundant, because the railway has not yet started construction, and people need to complete the first-class national highway from Mingfu Port to Luoyang, which is not easy.
