Chapter 1,436 Space Plane Delivery
There is a saying that makes a lot of sense.
Controlling the Middle East means controlling oil prices.
Controlling oil prices means controlling the global economy.
And controlling fresh water means controlling the entire Middle East.
As the only developed country in the Middle East, Israel had the world's largest desalination operation facilities as early as ten years ago, with a total of more than 30 desalination facilities and hundreds of companies across the country active in the field of water management.
IDE Company, which represents one of the best, is also the leader among Israeli desalination companies.
"IDE? Have you taken care of the IDE company? If I remember correctly, that Sorek should be Israel's largest desalination company and tap water supplier, right? Is the Israeli government just watching you from the side?" Jiang Chen said slightly asked somewhat surprised.
"Of course they were not watching from the sidelines. Our acquisition case can be described as having twists and turns. But fortunately, the Boston consortium contributed a lot. After all, Gaoxin Danshui also has some shares in it. In addition, Nayef also I helped with a little help." Xia Shiyu curled her lips, with a proud smile on her face, "Once this acquisition is completed, Gaoxin Freshwater will become the largest freshwater supplier in the Middle East. Eighty percent of the people in the Middle East live Production will be directly affected by us.”
Hearing this, Jiang Chen finally showed a satisfied smile on his face.
If it were just an acquisition of S$3.5 billion, it would not be able to attract his attention at all. After all, compared to his current assets, even the market value of Gaoxin Danshui can only be regarded as that. But when combined with the influence that Gaoxin Danshui has brought to Future People Group, the meaning is completely different.
To take the most direct example, Starlink Trading has been seeking to extend the global power grid to Europe. As the gateway for the global power grid to enter the Mediterranean from the Indian Ocean, Starlink Trading’s business in Middle Eastern countries is not progressing smoothly.
Not only because of the influence of the United States in this region, but also because of the vigilance of Middle Eastern countries towards the Star Ring trade. Although Saudi Arabia has been seeking to reduce the country's huge number of highly polluting thermal power stations, the current King of Saudi Arabia still has concerns about completely opening the door to the domestic electricity market. In addition, there are Americans lobbying beside him, so even if Nayef is on Jiang Chen's side, he really can't be of much help at this time.
But now, with the water pipes of the Future People Group paving the way in front, everything becomes easier. As the influence of Xinguo's industry in the Middle East increases, it is only a matter of time before Star Ring Trading's global power grid crosses the Gulf of Aden and enters the Mediterranean Sea.
"One more thing, the 2020 financial report will be out soon. I just saw the first draft from the finance department today. Don't you want to take a look at it first?" Xia Shiyu said.
"First draft? Then I'd better leave my expectations to the official draft." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Aren't you curious at all?" Xia Shiyu curled her lips and teased, "Anyway, I was shocked when I saw it."
"What are you curious about?" Jiang Chen smiled and sighed softly, "No matter how long it is, it's just a string of numbers."
"Pfft——"
Unable to hold back, Xia Shiyu laughed out loud and leaned back on the sofa. The two fragrant shoulders trembled slightly, and the strand of black hair on the cheek swayed gently with the rise and fall of the chest. Before she could catch her breath, she suddenly saw a dark shadow rushing towards her.
"ah."
With a short exclamation, Xia Shiyu was turned over by Jiang Chen and placed on his lap.
"What are you doing..." Looking nervously at the direction of the stairs, Xia Shiyu pushed Jiang Chen's chest with a red face and struggled restlessly, "Put me down quickly. You man, what time is it now?" Just the bell—woo!”
Only halfway through speaking, the rest of the words were replaced by a cry of pain.
It didn't hurt at all, but the soft snap made the shameless Xia Shiyu want to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
"How dare you make fun of your husband," Jiang Chen said with a smirk,
He raised his right hand towards the curved buttocks, "Do you still dare to laugh now?"
Feeling the heat spreading along her buttocks, Xia Shiyu felt that her face was so red that it was about to burn.
She bit her thin red lips that were about to bleed. Even if she wanted to resist at the moment, when she thought that such a shameful scene might be seen by Ayesha or Natasha, she had to suppress her shame and bow her head in submission.
"...No, I don't dare—woo!"
Another crisp snap interrupted her weak surrender.
"You, what are you doing!"
After twisting her neck with all her strength, Xia Shiyu glared at Jiang Chen with shame and anger.
What responded to her was Jiang Chen's innocent gaze.
"Well, I just suddenly felt that it was quite comfortable to take pictures..."
Hearing Jiang Chen's answer, Xia Shiyu only felt her face getting hotter. She buried her entire face into the pillow of the sofa, feeling the heat coming from her buttocks, and couldn't help but whisper softly.
"This pervert..."
…
In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Chen had just returned from his morning run when a call came to his watch.
The call was from Saudi Arabia. Recently, he had been receiving long-distance calls every now and then.
"Haha, my friend, thank you so much! I really like this airplane. I believe my father has the same taste as me and will fall in love with it at the first sight." On the phone , Nayef laughed and expressed his gratitude to Jiang Chen.
Just now, two Aerospace G100s customized for him by Futureman Heavy Industries were delivered to his private airport, and the final delivery was finally completed. In addition to the supporting facilities of the aircraft, Futureman Heavy Industries also comes with four "Matador" electronic pilots.
After receiving the aerospace plane, Nayev immediately boarded the plane and set the destination at Halo City, experiencing the speed of going directly from Mecca to Halo City. Having owned so many private jets, this is the first time he has included an aerospace plane in his private collection.
"Gifts are out of the question, as long as you are satisfied. To put it bluntly, you paid the money after all," Jiang Chen said with a smile, "I have to thank you. I heard from my CEO that when I acquired IDE, , but thanks to your help."
"To use the old Chinese proverb, it's just a little effort." Nayef waved his hand and said, "And I believe you will fulfill the promise you made and turn our desert into an oasis."
"By the way, may I ask something?" Nayef asked after a pause.
"Of course." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"When will the war in Syria end? The old king's health is getting worse day by day. Our domestic situation is now quite delicate. My brother has been very close to the Americans recently..." At this point, Nayef hesitated.
He didn't know whether to say the next words.
"It will end in February next year at the latest," Jiang Chen looked at the calendar on the wall. "The battle is going very smoothly. According to the report sent back from the front line yesterday, our people have achieved a decisive victory in the Raqqa area. .”
After hearing this, Nayef finally relaxed, his tone finally brought a hint of relaxation, and he said with a smile, "Then I will wait for your good news."
