Chapter 371: Start with water pollution

From New York to Chicago, there are heavy industrial bases in the United States. When satisfying the United States, these places have the advantage of being close to resources. When globalizing, resources are not close to the world. Cheap raw materials. , And it turned into a fading rust belt.
Of course, the advantages of New York are still very obvious. New York itself has a very good geographical location. In addition, the support of industrial cities that appear in the vicinity of the surrounding resources is a combination of the advantages of the imperial capital. Even if the slave owners united allies in the South and brought New Orleans milk out, it was incomparable with New York, and it was the upper limit of New Orleans to be on par with Boston and Chicago.
How hard it is in some places is not as good as a natural birth. It ’s the same way in cities, let alone reincarnation is a technical job, but New York has a unique advantage. New Orleans is still more basic than other cities. If there is a problem, it is not a problem of Louise.
"Is n’t it easy to find a patient? The water quality you look at is the main water supply channel in Chicago. Starting from this point, if you catch a standard, a heavy industry city, how easy it is to find patients. Pharmacists ca n’t cure them, and our hospitals ca n’t cure them. This ca n’t be compared. We have to find diseases that they ca n’t cure but we can treat.

Edith Rockefeller, who has returned to Chicago, introduced the local environment to his younger brother. He has been married to Chicago for so many years, and he already knows the situation nearby.
Due to the rapid population growth and industrial development, the edge of Lake Michigan, which is the main water source of the city, was seriously polluted during this period. To solve the problem of drinking water pollution, Chicago built the water inlet of the waterworks two miles in Lake Michigan and introduced water into the city's water supply system through underwater pipes. However, the effect of such efforts proved to be limited, because rainwater may bring the sewage of the Chicago River to the inlet, so it is a major project.
The project to completely solve this hidden danger is still under construction, but after so many years of accumulation, Edith Rockefeller believes that because the pollution has caused a lot of diseases, these very poor people who have been victimized can become this medical storm. starting point.
"Those folk pharmacists, at the level of our grandfather, basically can't cure anything. So no matter what the disease is, the folk pharmacist can't treat it on a large scale, so we just need to find out what we can cure. Rockefeller Jr., at this time also hacked his grandfather, who let his grandfather sell fake medicine.
Rockefeller Jr., who has taken over the family medical industry for many years, even if he was not interested in it at first, but he can make a good one. He already understands the level of private pharmacists. He ca n’t describe it with large-scale treatment. These pharmacists who dare to claim to cure all diseases , Has been described as very restrained.
Because these pharmacists have been doctors for so many years, they can also practice and make perfect. Really senior pharmacists can also see what diseases can be seen at a glance, and can also propose some effective methods.
It is necessary to compare the treatment rate. The number is not deceptive. Rockefeller Jr. is thinking about what diseases he can do.
"Did you think of it?" Edith Rockefeller urged impatiently. Did the family develop the medical industry for so many years, and then at this level, even if they are not sure about dealing with private pharmacists?
"Think of it, stone disease! This medicine is useless no matter what kind of medicine is needed, and it is necessary to operate most of it to completely cure it. When the stone is removed, it will be more useful than anything." Rockefeller Jr. Under pressure, the most stable disease was finally found.
In regular hospitals, the most powerful place for private pharmacists is surgery. Especially surgical operations require better professional training and better disinfection and sterilization techniques. Doctors no longer go to patients' homes for surgery. As a result, doctors began to join forces to build hospitals that not only own property rights but also make profits through operations. The earliest for-profit hospitals were actually in the southern states, but it was only after the Rockefeller family developed the medical industry that they came up later.
"Will they be dissatisfied with surgery against these pharmacists? Forget it, it's just a question of winning beautiful and not beautiful." Edith Rockefeller felt the win was positive and said, "We need some newspapers to follow up on Lake Michigan Pollution problem, and then find patients and cause panic, so a large number of patients must not dare to continue to use their bodies to resist, so that many private pharmacists will come out to cure the disease. After that, it ’s time to be a hero in our family ’s hospital. Before that, you have to be prepared, do n’t be in a hurry. "
hiss! Little Rockefeller really looked at Edith Rockefeller right now. Has n’t my sister always been a big-headed example? Except for the prom, it ’s a layman! Is it because you have been in contact with Sheffield for a long time?
"Then I'll go back to Rockefeller Manor to wait for the news first!" Little Rockefeller nodded, and he basically knew that he would be suspicious.
This matter requires the two most hated journalists to be dispatched first. The natural thing in public opinion is that the conscience of the United States of America today, Alberto, editor-in-chief of the Chicago Daily Times, who has made a big splash on feminist issues.
An article on water pollution, which has become the greatest threat to Chicago residents, was born in the pen of the editor of the Chicago Daily Times, Albert. Before this topic appeared, the reporter of the Chicago Daily Times had visited Lake Michigan. Interviewed with the water taking place in Chicago, and did not forget that the residents living on the edge of the polluted area.
Chicago has a population of over one million. Even if people live near Lake Michigan, there are 20,000 or 30,000 people. Compared with the huge area of ​​the United States, the residents here are also called dense. However, the Chicago River and Lake Michigan, which are subject to the industrial pollution of Chicago, have long been not the scenery people imagined.
The water of the Chicago River exudes odors, and white foam of unknown substance can often be seen on the turbid river water. As for Lake Michigan, which supplies the city of Chicago, the situation is only better.
The reporters interviewed brought Albert the hard conditions of the local residents and the real situation of Lake Michigan, which is a major source of water, but suffered from great pollution.
Albert, who had brought traffic after the feminist movement, directly wrote a special topic, slamming the major factories in Chicago, which would be enough to kill sewage without any treatment.
"Ironically, the contaminated Lake Michigan is precisely the main source of water for millions of people in our city. The water we drink every day passes through the iron and steel plant, coking coal plant, and chemical plant. The delicacies that residents must want to use, only God knows, how many sick people are sick, because drinking this water causes disease, and how many people die. "
The Chicago Daily Times topic was published this time, which directly caused a sensation in Chicago. The newspapers carried photos. Not everyone lives next to the Chicago River. It is a large city with a population of one million. Many people do not know the Chicago River. The real situation, but the smoke that shrouded the Chicago sky every day is true.
Although the image in the newspaper can't distinguish the color, will there be foamy waves floating on the normal river?
As for another group, the factory owners of various factories in Chicago accused Albert of making a big fuss. "Pollution control will increase additional costs. In this case, only layoffs can be made. This responsibility is only for writing. How could the shitman understand. "
Adding additional equipment for purifying water is a huge expense. The owners of the factory are always putting profits first, and of course they can save.
As for others, they did not stand up and slammed, just swore their and pretended that the water discharged from their factories had been treated. Anyway, almost all the factories did not have it, and naturally it could not be confirmed.
"Our factory owners said that these things have nothing to do with themselves. Perhaps the pollution of Lake Michigan and the Chicago River was caused by my own peeing in the past, which caused this consequence!" Albert Daily, editor-in-chief of the Chicago Daily Times In the newspaper with a mocking tone, accused the factory owners of lying and must be responsible for the drinking water problems of urban residents.
"The question now is, who has suffered these pollution, who will protect their rights and interests? The health of local residents is worrying, does anyone care about their bodies?"
Faced with the Chicago Daily Times, this very influential local newspaper asked such questions, but no one answered.
"My dear, it's too much for me to look at!" Sheffield tilted her neck to hold the phone, built a little bit of nails in her hand, and said flatly, "Does this also have my credit?"
"Of course, I have learned from you!" Edith Rockefeller's complacent voice came, "However, what next? What about a third-party foundation, investigating this matter in the name of charity?"
"I have also been to Chicago many times. The pollution there can be seen at a glance, but it involves too much capital and I ca n’t see it in the south." Sheffield came up with an idea, "Since you want to To clean it up, you can actually make it a little bigger and do n’t need a third-party foundation investigation. If you investigate in the name of the Evelyn Foundation, you must know that I also own shares in the steel company. The Evelyn Foundation is not a third party at all , It is even more unclear to be noticed by intentional people. "
"So what should I do, let Albert directly call the residents of the polluted area to see a doctor as soon as possible?" Edith Rockefeller thought for a while, "Is it so?"
