Mr. Hu Han Feng – Chairman of Chideh Machinery Hoisting Co., Ltd (Hsinchu, Taiwan, China) is known by many as “the crane king”. This nickname comes from his industrial machinery business. In 2019, this giant caught attention when he revealed that he had 4 wives, 16 mistresses and 14 children. Because Taiwanese law does not allow a person to have more than one wife or husband, Hu is actually only legally married to one of his four wives. Notably, the Chinese giant spent 13 million USD to build an 8-storey villa for his wife, children and mistress to live. From the outside the villa looks like a European palace. The area inside the villa is about 660 m2. Hu gave each wife a separate floor, so that they were free to decorate their residence to their liking. Many decorative items in the house are gilded splendidly. Most of the villa furniture is of great value. The living room is decorated in a modern and luxurious style. Hu Han Feng also designed the happy bathroom on the 8th floor of the house, including 4 transparent bathrooms for the purpose of occasionally bathing with the wives.

Recently, the Waterway Management Center in coordination with Saigon Traffic Construction Joint Stock Company has operated new technology equipment in the collection of rubbish on the Vam Thuat River, at Ben Phan Bridge (Go Vap District, City). .HCM).

As noted by PV, there are three devices in operation to pick up trash, mainly water hyacinth and floating garbage. A device like a large barge has a garbage storage compartment and a pick-up crane. On both sides of the conveyor belt are fitted with two garbage collection wings, which help to put the garbage on the deck. In addition, the small garbage pick-up machine is operated by one person, moving the garbage and bringing it to the barge.

According to PV’s observations in just a few working hours tons of water hyacinths are collected ashore.

Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Hai, Head of Maintenance Management Division, Waterway Management Center, said that for many years, garbage collection has contributed to reducing the amount of rubbish on the above rivers, gradually improving the regional environment. However, the garbage collection is still rudimentary, using a lot of manual labor, and the efficiency and productivity are not high.

Therefore, the unit has piloted operation of new technology equipment imported from the US. With this new technology, workers do not have to salvage manually but completely control by machine, collecting every two days, the capacity to pick up about 25 to 30 tons within 8 hours.

“This device will save manpower, time and collect large volumes, thereby increasing the economic efficiency of the city. Besides, it will also create a better image on the river compared to traditional garbage collection.” – Mr. Hai said.

Regarding the current difficulties, Mr. Hai added that in addition to floating rubbish and water hyacinths, there are large-sized rubbish such as blankets, mattresses, tables and chairs, making it difficult to collect trash. In addition, the river bank is not straight and flat, so the access of the machine is also difficult.

Mr. Hai added that the garbage collection system consists of five devices, of which two are imported from the US and three are researched and manufactured by a team of Vietnamese engineers. After the pilot period, the Department of Transport will report to the City People’s Committee replicated in the area. At the same time, the unit is also building a unit price that is suitable for management in the future.
