September 23 - BE 2/SU 1/KG 1

Tanzania Daressalam, the district of Uganda.

In the 90s, a jeep was running through the city's architecture like a view of Seoul.

‘We're making great progress,' I feel like. ’

Jungwoo was busy looking around to see the largest city in Tanzania while driving. The old buildings were often surprisingly up-to-date.

Beevik.

When I got a GPS signal from my phone that I had arrived at the destination, Jung asked Cristina in the passenger seat to slow down.

Where is the used car store?

Go to the left side of the gas station.

Turning around, the prefabricated building appeared as a warehouse. I turned my head to the two people in the back seat who arrived at the vacancy and pulled the ignition cord. Cha Hyeong-soo was drove overnight.

I reached out my car key to Kaya, whom I met with my eyes.

Kaya. I'll be inside with the reporter, so please · · ·

I'll take good care of it.

Kaya smiles as if to tell you not to worry. I trusted the nineteen girls with safety, but I was confident as always.

As I opened the door and went down, a basket of beverages and snacks filled with quality living goods came to my head. Waving a bottle of Coke and fruit, along with a greeting, ”Jambo!” he frantically shouted that everyone's stuff is cheap.

3,000 Tanzanian shillings per loaf of bananas. 1,500 won for my country's money.

A few days ago, I bought it thinking it was very cheap, but I was shocked to hear that Cristina was trading for 200 shillings. Since then, I decided never to buy anything from vendors.

“I had breakfast. I don't buy it. I don't read magazines. Oh, and the Times. It's not my area of interest. ”

After frequent encounters with these merchants, I became familiar with Jungwoo's handling. I actively refused with a gesture of hand to push my head all the way in.

A black boy appeared to be a boy at the stall near the entrance of the used car store as he was beating people and walking along, carrying a bottle of water.

“col wata de. ”

Though the field of selling cool water was different, Jungwoo was a little interested in selling water, so I saw the trademark.

Kilimanjaro glacier? Really? "

I had never made it to the peak of Africa, the tip of Tanzania. I even tried to put glacial melted water in freshwater samples, but I gave up on the news that there were very few normal ice remains in Kilimanjaro as a result of the Earth's environmental changes.

“One please. ”

A young boy merchant called 2,000 shillings appeared when he lifted a finger.

“Two Hundred. ”

I shortened it to one-tenth. The boy scoured Jungwoo's stern expression and clothing at once and carved it into 1,000 shillings.

“Nono. Three Hunted. ”

After several distractions, a water bottle was obtained for the final 500 shillings.

Cristina looks at Jungwoo and wonders.

Drinking water is also available in tea.

Here's a sample. You should have at least one more before your meeting.

When Jungwoo proudly pointed at the painting as Kilimanjaro, Cristina shakes her head, saying she won't be able to stop it.

So you're going to turn seawater into glacial water this time? Is that possible?

If the buyer wants it.

Jung, who was about to examine the water constituents, put his hand on the bottle without knowing because it had two layers of labels on it.

Tsk.

The Kilimanjaro brand was lightly torn and a picture of an unknown lake appeared.

“What?”

Cristina sees the bewildered friendship and finds herself in the middle of a new label.

Brings to life Lake Victoria.

She read me an advertisement in Swahili. Jungwoo looked ridiculous. In the past 4 days, most of the samples obtained for the support of the Tanzania Department of Water Resources have been collected from the lake.

Why sell lake water as glacial water?

I don't think that's a problem for me.

Jung turned his head to the boy. I did not understand English well during bargaining, so I used the common body language of the nations.

“Hey, Kilimanjaro, Nono. Okay?”

“Nini?”

“Why cheat on Victoria Marks? Refund me. Hey, kid. Refund.”

The boy shakes his head and mutters something. Cristina smiled.

I can't return 100 shillings because I ripped the label off. I have to buy my brother some bread with that.

Eugh · · · · · · · · ·.

The moment I decided on the word "brother" and "bread," I had nothing to say. If you lean on compassion, you bargain and you lose your mind.

"Let's just go, journalist. It's not bad to have a sample of Lake Victoria.

Jungwoo passes by the boy and says, "Later on Koreans deceive moderately, man.” I gave a little advice. Of course, I didn't understand, and I just pulled my tongue out because I asked if I would buy another bottle with a simple smile.

When he walked into a large warehouse with high ceilings, a vendor in a short-sleeved shirt appeared. The vendor decides in which language to greet young Asians and young Westerners in

“Hi."

Jungwoo searched the cars of thrift stores, mostly Toyota and Nissan.

I'm looking for five four-wheel drive minitrucks, just over four people.

Five?

"Yes, I don't care about age, I just need to be strong.

When I took a picture of the SUV on display, laughter blossomed on the dealer's face. A salesman who looked like he had caught a large fish called the employee straight away. He instructed the two who rushed out at once and laughed in their local dialect.

The dealer turns his head.

You have seen 40 million shillings. Vehicles in the interior warehouse are priced similarly.

20 million KRW. It was quite expensive, as long as it was not new. Jungwoo's gaze, realizing it was a snake, turned to Cristina.

After Cristina smiled, she asked the dealer in coagular.

I think you just said 8 million shillings when you talked to the staff. He said he would hide the two in the warehouse and upload more.

The dealer stopped when he saw her understand and ask questions in a local dialect that was not a common language.

10 Million per person. Buy five and get 45 million shillings with a 10% discount. Or we could go.

I'm not staying. We have to eat and live.

Then I would prefer to feed the secondhand market merchant Zhang Wai instead of here. It could be up to 42 million.

Referring to the flea market that I do not know well other than the natives changed the way I looked at it.

You · · · · · · · · ·.

Yes, I've lived here for a long time.

Fine, 4,500.

4,200.

What?

You just wasted our time.

Jungwoo could not understand the conversation, but he could see that Cristina had succeeded just by looking at it.

When I returned to the jeep after the purchase agreement was concluded, I saw that the car was awake. When Cha Seong-soo found Jungwoo approaching, he opened the back door and ran.

“Senior Jungwoo. I'm researcher Lee Jun-ik.”

Jungwoo picked up the satellite phone. I heard Lee Jun-ik's voice at the Dorothy Base Camp.

- Eugene Chemical reporting team will leave for the airport shortly. I put all the compounds on the list in there, but do you have any equipment to get them out of the mobile lab?

“No, I just need the base material. ”

- How do you mix without a meter?

“You know, with your hands. ”

- Ah.

At a meeting with Tanzania's Deputy Minister of Water at 1: 00 p.m., Eugene Chemical reported on water supply management and KG Chemistry would explain the filters.

I have some information for you from the captain of the Juhana team. The lobby of Beolia begins in Kenya, our next stop.

“WeIIia wasn't focusing on West Africa? ”

- Director Ma said he heard a rumor about Mozambique's support and that his feet were moving fast.

She bites her lip at the news that another rival company is blocking the way. Something you're gonna have to bump into anyway. Once we arrive tomorrow, we should advance straight to Kenya and start collecting samples from all directions.

‘That's why today's meeting must be a success. ’

For the past five days, I've been sleepwalking all over Tanzania.

A total of 10 samples were collected.

Jungwoo sees 11 Victorian bottled water in his hand. This will captivate the officials.

A massive traffic jam has stopped Jeep on the streets of Samora Avenue, where government agencies and public institutions are tightened.

Jungwoo looked at the clock pointing to 12 o'clock and turned his eyes to the road where an old car and bus were tailed.

‘I'm glad we're off to a quick lunch. ’

I almost missed the appointment.

In 30 minutes.

Jungwoo had no choice but to look at the situation with his eyes that he could not believe that it was only 50 meters forward.

Tina, is it always this blocked here?

It's Tanzania.

When Jung Woo continued to say that there was no way of knowing when it would be released once it had stalled, the back of his foot lit up.

The remaining distance to the Tanzania Water Department building on GPS is 3 km. I could walk for as long as I had time left.

I need to go for a walk.

Jungwoo asked Cristina to accompany him in the geography of the area and then told Cha Seong Soo.

“Eugene Chemicals is the first meeting, so there should be more time. Please keep your radio on and hurry. ”

“I understand.”

The driver nodded.

Jungwoo hurriedly lowers his sample bag in both hands.

On either side of the second-tier dense road was a crowd of Tanzanians with shiny black skin. Three kilometers through here. It was going to be a difficult move.

‘The road plan is a bakery, this neighborhood. I was totally beaten.'

Although the sample was acceptable to carry, it was also very important for the filter and the component analyzer to move to the car due to the weight.

Tina, please guide me.

Cristina walked forward with a handful of bags in her left hand.

I can hear it.

Think of it as Dum.

Cristina grinned.

12: 59.

Jungwoo sighs of relief and stands in front of the Water Department building.

“Oh, I'm going to die. ”

“Here.”

Joo Hana, who had already arrived, looked at Jungwoo and raised his hand.

As I moved closer to breathing, I saw Chief Park Il-chang and the Eugene Chemical staff who came with me to report to the monastery.

“Didn't the principal miss you when you came from the airport? ”

“We arrived at 11 o'clock and had dinner nearby. ”

“Oh, we would, too. ”

Cristina looks at Jungwoo groaning. Jung shakes his head silently.

“Limited Woo Advisory. ”

Chief Park walked in on Jungwoo.

“What happened to your used car? ”

“Five contracts have been finalized, and I'm going to deliver them directly to the airport tomorrow. ”

With Cristina's help, Chief Park's face lit up when he bought it at a reasonable price of around 3.5 million won per person. Chief Park looked at Cristina and asked Jungwoo for a job.

“Do you think you could ask that journalist to buy some of my team's equipment? ”

“That's · · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Cristina, who was wiping her brow, gave her a healthy smile when her eyes met. She doesn't frown at all, even though it must be hard to run with the sample bag. I didn't think it was manners to continue to use that favor because of Jungwoo's exclusive coverage.

“Why don't you just buy a little piece of equipment? You can't ask a BBC journalist to bargain for socks and underwear. I don't think it will help the corporate image if this gets noticed as an article. ”

“That's right. That's right. I'll have to go on my own.”

Someone walks out of the Water Department building during a conversation.

General Manager Eugene Chemical Joohana?

Yes, it's me.

Follow me, the Vice Minister is in the conference room.

I felt the cord of the nerve being stretched tightly in the appearance of the official.

Aside from Chief Park and his support staff who had originally ordered the supplies, everyone was brought to the Water Environmental Policy Administration Conference Room, located on the second floor of the building.

Jungwoo was able to find Vice Minister Hudir Bueno easily among those who seemed busy preparing for the meeting. I was sitting in the chair and controlling people with the most solemn expression.

Johanna walks to Houdir with the report first.

Mr. Vice Minister.

Head of Main Office. Welcome. I have an urgent meeting, so I asked you to come here, not the interview room.

It's okay. Eugene Chemical prefers practical methods.

Well, that's a relief. So, how long does it take to set up a new sewer? Please tell me it's under 100 kilometers.

While she was laying the data on the table, Jung picked up the radio and contacted the neighbour.

We're halfway there. It's gonna take another 20 minutes.

I had to hope that report would continue until then.

I spent time nervously leaving the compound box and samples sent by Joon-ik in the back room of the meeting room.

Jungwoo sent a radio back around 1: 30.

- We're only a mile away. Five minutes. No, 10 minutes.

A second lane in the middle of downtown. Jungwoo had a hunch that something would come to Lord Joo, who was organizing the report he had been waiting for.

‘I'm gonna show you a sample and I'm gonna tell you in 10 minutes. ’

Jungwoo asked Eugene Chemical staff to take him here as soon as he arrived, and then walked forward with his bag by his side.

Joohana introduced Jungwoo to Hudir in time.

There he is. The key analyst from Total-Care I mentioned yesterday.

Greetings. I'm Senior Researcher Lim Wu.

Hudir looks back at Jungwoo.

Expert in KG chemistry? The corrosion report was quite impressive.

He began preparing his remarks in his mid- to mid- to mid- to mid- to mid- to mid- to mid- fifties, under the pressure of a government official.

The basis for desalination of seawater sought by our KG chemistry is the already used · · · · · · · · · · by organisms existing in that country.

I opened my bag and put up a sample of the hard work while fighting various bugs at the lake in the look and mountain. However, Hoodir shakes his hand.

No more complicated explanations. You are familiar with the advantages of KG chemical filters in a written report. Tanzania is already a fresh water plant, so we're going to spend almost all our budget strengthening the pipeline. Minimum filter change. There is only one condition to consider, the unit price.

It was Hudhir's stuffy response.

We can provide filters that vary greatly in the taste of water by region.

So what are the additional installation costs?

You'll need to hear more, but there's a big difference compared to the competition.

Hoodir nods as if he knew.

All things considered, the selection of the business will be decided on the day of the vote. There is a meeting at 2 o'clock, so if you have no further suggestions, leave the meeting.

I felt that the last 4 days of suffering in response to colder than I thought were passing me by like a master.

Cheers.

- We're at the entrance.

On the radio hanging from my waist, I heard the voice of the car. But the game is almost over. Jungwoo's gaze turned into a hollow heart, and the contents of the data that came to mind were embedded in the screen on the floor.

[Blue-Green Algae]

Words referring to algebra. That was a chemical analysis of environmental problems in a particular lake. A government official quickly handed over the PPT screen and paused on the first page.

The recent photos and names of the lake were flawed.

It's Victoria, right?

Jungwoo reminded me of the picture I saw in the water bottle I bought in front of the used car shop earlier.

Now I can see why the label was placed on a healthy water bottle. No one would buy water from a lake that floats like that.

‘Wait.’

The contamination in a large lake across three borders in central Africa seemed to be quite troubling to the vice minister. If you help me with this, I might open my heart.

Mr. Vice Minister.

What's the matter?

I'm interested in environmental issues. May I attend the meeting here?

Hoodir looks at you calmly, demanding that you catch a straw.

Yes, water! ’

Jungwoo took out a vial of live water to a con man who cares about his brother. With molecular field of view, the composition in the water bottle was scanned and analyzed in real time to open the mouth.

We accidentally chose a sample of Victorian bottled water.

Some photosynthetic bacteria were seen in the water, though said to have undergone purification.

It's about a month old, and it's got blue-green in it. It could cause diarrhea and vomiting with long-term intake.

Houdir looks at the label of the bottle in Jungwoo's hand as he changes his complexion.

Assistant. Contact the Department of Health and send a water quality management team to this production company right away.

The filter on your business's essence should not be out of date. because the water pollution is already at a critical level for living water. You don't know about agricultural water, do you?

Jung, who opened his eyes and looked at the world in the water bottle, found a mass of molecules that adversely affected the ecosystem to be nothing compared to the risk of algae.

Why are there so many plastic particles under 100 nanometers?

What do you mean?

"Microplastic. Particles that are caused by the wear of synthetic fibers or tires melt and break down into things like solar radiation. There's the risk of microplastics themselves, but they absorb and accumulate synthetic retention compounds, which are on average present in the water.

Having said this without hesitation, I was interested in Hoodir's face.

If the accumulating substance is a residual organic contaminant, it will not end in the extent of diarrhea and vomiting.

As soon as he finishes speaking, Hudir shakes his hand at the top of the statue.

Bareto! Bring up the detection analysis!

This sound redirected the screen of the statue back to the page Jungwoo saw earlier.

Are you talking about that?

"No, that's only approximate. Turn it into a precision analyzer.

Jungwoo stands next to a government official seeking understanding and manipulating his laptop.

Tadadadak.

I familiarized myself with the data and subtracted the chemical phenomenon I saw in the water bottle.

You can find out this much.

Neurotoxins aldicarbs. Benzenes causing blood disease in chromosomal damage. Anesthetic ethylene that causes male infertility to cancer. Polyvinyl chloride which causes disorders of the soy sauce, lungs, and cardiovascular system.

After making a list of the serious organic chemicals one by one, Hudir went silent for a while.

· · Victoria became the lake of death?

Jung shakes his head.

I can't rush you. They haven't accumulated enough to affect the human body yet. But I'm sure it's only a matter of time. Then why is there so much junk in the lake?

Is it true what you say? Our water quality analysis team couldn't find it that far.

Ah, the reliability of the data · · ·

Jungwoo sighs and tells the group about the dimensional water coming up with the ingredient analyzer, squirming.

· · · The world's leading ingredient analyzer.

Please. And · · · · · · · · · ·.

Hoody gestures at the assistant next door.

Can you assist me during the meeting?

Happy to.

Jung, who succeeded in gaining trust, smiled in repentance.

‘That boy was a nobleman. ’

If they are successful in securing their support, they will buy all the bottled water on the stand.

As soon as Jungwoo sat next to him, he said,

You're welcome because this analyst suddenly appeared. Kenya and Uganda were struggling with the Water Department.

"Yes? Fight?

Tanzania is the largest shareholder in Lake Victoria.

Hudir gives Jungwoo an English-language notice placed in front of him.

[United Nations Joint Environmental Conference: Tracking Down Lake Victoria Pollutants]

Jungwoo, who was reading the document, felt a cold sweat on his forehead.

It wasn't about finding a solution, was it about taking responsibility? ’

Water officials in Kenya and Uganda. Fighting the representatives of the countries to come next means giving up their support.

‘Damn. ’

Cristina, standing at the back of the conference room, flawed as she carefully wrote down Jungwoo's remarks on the notebook.

Isn't that the water bottle from earlier? When the hell did they analyze it?

It was a perfect analysis to the point that I could not see it and feel it at all. As soon as the word chemistry came into being, all of Jungwoo's actions were truly mysterious.

"Journalist, I'm calling from Base Camp.

The car approached and handed out the satellite phone. Cristina stuck a satellite phone between her shoulders and her head without taking her eyes off the notebook.

Yes, this is Cristina.

- Tina, how long are you going to keep watering the valley? We haven't had a story in days. How much the year-end featured column contributes to Director's Election Evaluation · ·

Director.

Cristina cuts Brad's grumbling in one fell swoop.

Lake Victoria is suffering from severe water pollution. The United Nations is out there today on that issue.

- Of course we should cover that. Tell Dangwoo to take me to the meeting right away. The United Nations Secretariat? Tanzania?

After seeing Jungwoo speaking with the vice minister, Cristina followed up the call.

Already here. Lim Woo is attending the meeting as an environmental advisor.

What about him?

"Why would I? I think I'll get something big like Gourongsa, so don't interrupt me with this phone call.

You hear Brad coughing.

- Oh, okay. Call me when you're done.

Cristina, who picked up the satellite phone and handed it to Cha Sung-soo, glared at the entrance of the meeting room when she saw a group of people from the Uganda Water Resources side entering.

- I trust Suez Saman.

- Our quality analysis skills are the best in the industry. It's not going to happen in Uganda alone.

Suez?

Cristina stopped looking at a black man with a badge around her neck.

Is Uganda's Advisor Suez?

Subsequently, officials from Kenya entered.

- Dr. Marion. If the United Nations is sanctioned for the environment, all the movers are finished.

- I can assure you that will never happen. Trust Beolia's research team.
