Chapter 661 Are You Interested in Cooperating?

Not only the vast overseas market, but after the completion of Penglai City, the supply of fresh water may also become a real problem. At present, 300,000 units have been sold. Even if the occupancy rate is only 50%, the population of Penglai City by then will be a terrifying figure.

After leaving the presidential palace, Jiang Chen got into the car and ordered Aisha to take him to the gate of WW Group.

After the car got on the road, he first made a phone call with the WW Group, and then clicked on the holographic image of the wrist watch on his left hand.

A faint blue light emerged, and a three-dimensional bust appeared in the car.

Aisha's wide eyes were filled with surprise, but she didn't ask any questions. She pressed the button to close the car window and continued to focus on the road ahead.

"Jane, activate the four-dimensional sending device, and help me retrieve the list of recovery technology completed in the No. 27 shelter, and match the entries related to seawater desalination."

"Of order." The woman in the holographic image nodded slightly, and a light blue data stream flickered on her solid outline.

The four-dimensional signaling device was originally a chip attached to the EP. At first, it was used to communicate with Lin Ling across dimensions. Later, it was also connected to the server at the Fishbone Base, so that Jiang Chen could instantly know the situation in the end of the world. Condition.

Later, because Yao Yao diy's watch already had the function of EP, Jiang Chenbian implanted that chip into the watch.

"The search is complete, and a total of 7 items have been matched."

"Download to my watch."

"As you order, Mr. Chairman." Jane said in an emotionless tone.

Seeing the progress bar on the holographic screen complete, Jiang Chen stretched out his hand and poked on the screen...

"Received! Go ahead and play."

"Q: What are you doing while playing?"

"Uh, it means to come out when I need you."

When I play computer, I always feel uncomfortable when someone looks at me. Although I know she is an AI, except for her expressions, she is too close to human beings in every aspect.

"clear."

Nodding, Jane's figure dissipated into the air as faint blue characters.

Leaning on the passenger seat,

Jiang Chen called out the files downloaded to the watch.

After clearing the source of infection in the city center, Vault No. 27, with the help of the Na First Corps, began to recover the technology under the ruins of Wanghai City. Regardless of whether these technologies have been digested or not, all the data has been logged into the database by more than a thousand researchers in case it is needed.

Seawater desalination technology is also a relatively common technology in the 22nd century with overpopulation. Although Wanghai City, located at the mouth of the Huangpu River, does not feel the pain of water shortage, this does not prevent it from providing technical services to other water-scarce areas of Pan-Asia Cooperation.

The researchers in the shelter have only completed the collection of these technologies, and have not yet digested and sorted out the specific content of the technical documents, but the conceptual graphics and effect parameters of these documents are well documented, so it does not prevent Jiang Chen from inspecting these projects Content.

Swipe your finger across the interface, and the blue linear cube immediately outlines the shape of the seawater desalination device.

"Who is she?" Aisha asked curiously.

"Artificial intelligence, her name is Jane." Jiang Chen laughed.

"It's actually a program... I thought it was your assistant." Ayesha whispered while holding the steering wheel with both hands.

The office of ww group in new country is located in the city center of coro island. Fortunately, the road conditions were not bad, and the two reached their destination in only fifteen minutes.

When the car stopped, Jiang Chen grabbed it with five fingers, put away the holographic screen, opened the door and walked out.

In this tourist city full of "rickshaws", the sudden appearance of such a flame-colored Lamborghini is quite eye-catching. Many tourists even excitedly took out their mobile phones to take pictures... Although Jiang Chen didn't know what they were so excited about.

Walking into the lobby of WW Group, a secretary-like person greeted him and led him to the direction of the elevator.

On the way here, Jiang Chen had already called the manager of the WW Group branch. Although he didn't want to continue to entangle with the new government on the issue of seawater desalination, but considering Jiang Chen's identity, Jim Atley still nodded his temporary visit and moved the scheduled meeting back by one hour.

"Please sit down, Mr. Jiang Chen." Alit poured a cup of coffee for Jiang Chen, and then went across to him, "I'm surprised that you will visit our company. Is Future Group interested in fresh water business?"

"To be precise, I'm interested in seawater desalination." Jiang Chen took a sip of his coffee, put it down and stopped touching it.

His sister, this kind of coffee tastes like Chinese medicine.

Hearing Jiang Chen talk about the desalination of seawater, Arite thought Jiang Chen was here to persuade him, so he sighed.

"There's always been a joke in our company."

"Oh?" Jiang Chen looked at him with interest.

"Our company's tap water supply business in Xinguo, so far, is not as good as the real estate income." Alit took a sip of coffee with relish, and continued in a teasing tone, "For example, I The office building at the foot, including the decoration, costs a total of 150,000 US dollars, and now it can sell for at least 2 million."

"Haha, this joke of yours is quite funny." Jiang Chen laughed, "Are you so disapproving of Xinguo's freshwater market? Now there are only 50,000 permanent residents, but what about in a year or two?"

"The key is not here." Alit shook his head, threw a cube of sugar into the coffee cup, and stirred it gently, "On the one hand, the new government wants us to expand our business, and on the other hand, it wants to deprive us of drinking water. We don’t have the right to raise the price of drinking water independently. Although the fresh water resources on Koro Island are tight, to be honest, we are not optimistic about the market here.”

"Then do you plan to sell the business here?" Jiang Chen asked.

Ariete shook his head.

"We're not bullish, but we don't intend to withdraw either."

"That means you plan to maintain the status quo?" Jiang Chen understood their plan.

"Exactly." Alit nodded.

At present, the fresh water supply pipelines in Xinguo are owned by the ww group. Other fresh water companies want to enter the market. They have only two options, either to cooperate with them, or to re-lay the pipelines themselves. Even if the government spends its own money to import fresh water, it still sells the fresh water to them at a low price according to the contract, and then supplies water to residents through them. This behavior of buying high and selling low can also be regarded as a disguised financial subsidy.

Jiang Chen nodded, but did not speak.

Alit took a sip of his coffee, looked at Jiang Chen, and asked in an unexpected tone.

"Is the Future Group interested in fresh water business?"

"That's right." Jiang Chen nodded again, looked at him and continued, "Future Heavy Industries under our group just recently made a breakthrough in seawater desalination technology. It just so happened that Zhang Yaping asked me about Xinguo's freshwater resources. Due to the shortage, I plan to build a seawater desalination plant on Koro Island, with an estimated daily processing capacity of more than 40,000 tons."

40,000 tons is just a conservative figure, and the minimum treatment capacity of any seawater desalination technology from the 22nd century is much higher than this figure. But for Xinguo, this figure is enough.

"40,000 tons, that's quite a large scale." Arite said slowly, "But have you considered the cost?"

"Based on the price of industrial electricity in the country, our cost per ton of desalinated water can be controlled below US$0.5."

"$0.50? That's not bad..." Ariete's hand holding the coffee cup froze suddenly.

With a bang, the cup fell to the ground, and he didn't care about the coffee juice on his body. He supported the table and stared at Jiang Chen with wide eyes.

"It's impossible! I've never heard of a technology that can reduce costs to such an extent, even if it's a matrix company!"

"But we are people from the future." Jiang Chen said calmly, but secretly laughed in his heart: It's because of the high electricity price in this world. If it is placed in the 22nd century when nuclear fusion technology is mature, the cost of desalinated water will not be much more expensive than tap water.

Alit just wanted to refute, but the words froze in his throat. He suddenly remembered that the Future Group seems to be always creating miracles and subverting people's inherent concepts. From Virtual Reality to Home Robots...

A ridiculous idea appeared in his mind.

Maybe they can do it!

"How is it? Are you interested in cooperating?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile looking at the silent Ariete. (To be continued.) To find this site, please search for "" or enter the URL:
