Chapter 662 Saudi Arabia's Old Friend

1!

Desalinized water is so cheap, it's even cheaper than groundwater pumped up by some pumps on Koro Island! Alit has never heard of such a powerful seawater desalination technology!

The cost of seawater desalination largely depends on the local electricity price. ∷∷, Xinguo itself has no oil production, and a large number of new energy power generation equipment is used. Although this is environmentally friendly, the electricity price has not been low. According to the evaluation of WW Group, if a seawater desalination plant is built on Koro Island, even if the most advanced production equipment is used, the cost per ton of water will be more than 2 US dollars.

So when Jiang Chen said that the cost was only US$0.5, Alit would be so shocked.

Hey, even if there is a nuclear power plant on Koro Island, the cost of desalinated water can't be so low!

The two sides quickly reached a cooperation agreement, and even omitted the step of bargaining.

Future Human Heavy Industry is responsible for building the seawater desalination plant, and WW Group is responsible for connecting pipelines to connect the fresh water produced by Future Human Group to the Xinguo tap water supply system.

Alit immediately ordered his secretary to print out the contract, and signed a desalinated water supply contract with Jiang Chen with a daily supply of 20,000 tons. He looked nervous as if he was afraid that Jiang Chen would regret it.

After the contract was signed, Ariete personally sent him to the door very politely.

"The black coffee I brought from Western Australia, don't you want to take some back?"

"No need." Jiang Chen quickly waved his hand and refused.

How bad that stuff is, he has already experienced it just now.

For a 20,000-ton supply contract, excluding all expenses including labor costs, a profit of US$0.5 per ton can bring a maximum monthly income of US$300,000 to the Future Group.

This income is really pitifully small. Even if the Future Group spends money to acquire the water supply system of the WW Group and monopolizes all channels from production to sales, it will at most double this figure.

So from the very beginning, Jiang Chen set his sights on overseas markets. It just so happened that there was such a person in his phone number, who would definitely be interested in such cheap fresh water.

"Hello? Mr. Nayef. It's me, Jiang Chen. Our Future Heavy Industry has come up with a new gadget... No, no, no, I'm not talking about new robots, but seawater desalination equipment."

After sitting in the car, Jiang Chen just closed the door, took out his mobile phone, and called Nayef who was far away in Saudi Arabia.

"Seawater desalination equipment? We do have plans to build a new seawater desalination plant along the coast of the Red Sea,

But we have found American Matrix Company to help us design. They are experts in this regard, and they are also our old partners. Hearing that Jiang Chen seemed to be trying to sell seawater desalination equipment, Nayef frowned slightly.

Although he has a good personal relationship with Jiang Chen, he will not make concessions on the drinking water project that is related to the well-being of the Saudi people because of his personal relationship. The American Matrix Company promised them that they would build a new hybrid seawater desalination plant in the Mecca area along the Red Sea, powered by ultra-high concentrating photovoltaic power generation technology, with a daily capacity of 1.097 million cubic meters, to replace the high energy consumption and inefficient petroleum energy seawater desalination factory.

Although thermal power is very cheap in oil-rich Saudi Arabia, from the perspective of environmental protection and sustainable utilization, the practice of "exchanging oil for water" still does more harm than good.

And this seawater desalination plant using mixed energy has a production cost as low as $1.50 per ton, a price that Nayef believes is quite good.

"What is the price of water in your country?" Jiang Chen asked.

"According to the data in the first half of the year, in the Mecca area, the average level is 7 rials per ton." After thinking for a while, Nayef said.

7 riyals, which is about 1.9 US dollars.

After a little calculation in his heart, Jiang Chen's mouth curled into a smile.

"So, are you guys interested in $1 per ton fresh water?"

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Nayef was stunned. So much so that his glamorous Princess Amira delivered the peeled grapes to his mouth, and he forgot to open his mouth.

"$1 per ton? Cost price?"

"Of course the cost will be a little lower than this, 1 dollar is the price we supply water to you." Jiang Chen said with a smile.

Shocked, Nayef immediately stood up and walked to the window of the palace with his mobile phone in hand.

"My friend, you are always so... amazing. Ahem! I want to ask, is it true what you say? Supplying us with water for $1 a ton? This is unbelievable, please Forgive me for being a little excited."

More than excited, Nayef was a little incoherent.

For a long time, Saudi Arabia has provided a certain degree of financial subsidies in terms of domestic gasoline, electricity, and water conservancy. Take tap water as an example. In order to allow the 4 million people in the capital Riyadh to drink clean and relatively cheap water, the Saudi royal family has to spend several hundred million yuan to subsidize the price of water every year.

Although Saudi Arabia has a lot of money, who doesn't want to save some money?

The $1 water supply price proposed by Jiang Chen will not only greatly ease the

"Of course it's true, it's truer than gold." Jiang Chen smiled brilliantly.

Compared with the welfare water supply contract signed with ww group, the contract with oil bosses like Saudi Arabia is the highlight! The water supply price of 1 US dollar, even if it is calculated based on the water supply of 1 million tons, will have a profit of 15 million US dollars a month.

And the seawater desalination equipment on hand has a production capacity of more than 1 million tons per day! As cooperation with Saudi Arabia strengthens, Saudi Arabia, which is accustomed to cheap water, will definitely expand its water supply contract. And other water-scarce countries in the surrounding area, seeing the cheap fresh water enjoyed by Saudi Arabia, will definitely be unable to sit still and come to seek cooperation!

Jiang Chen seemed to have seen that those Arab local tyrants were waving banknotes and waving to him.

"By the way, what is the quality of the desalinated water you produce? We will never give our people something that has been mixed with sand." Nayef asked another question he was concerned about.

Originally, drinking desalinated water for a long time is not good for health. If the quality of desalinated water produced by Future Group is not up to standard, the Saudi royal family will never tolerate it. However, his worries are completely unnecessary. Pan-Asian cooperation in the 22nd century is far more demanding on food safety than any country on this timeline.

"Don't worry about this. It is estimated that we will build the first desalination plant on Koro Island in a month. At that time, you can send people to inspect the quality of our desalinated water. One thing I can assure you is that we produce The desalinated water is definitely cleaner and much healthier than the current market circulation!"

Hearing what Jiang Chen said, Nayef heaved a sigh of relief.

He is still very relieved about the promise of Future People Group.

"I will send someone to investigate here." After a pause, Nayef hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Jiang Chen, are we friends?"

"Of course." Jiang Chen didn't know why he suddenly asked this question.

"Then can you do me a favor?" Nayef whispered.

"Of course no problem. As long as I can help." Jiang Chen said happily.

"It shouldn't be a difficult task for you." Nayef coughed and lowered his voice, "I will find a way to obstruct the negotiation with Matrix Corporation's seawater desalination project, and finally open it to major companies around the world. Bidding. I hope you will not actively bid on our side when the time comes."

"No bidding?" Jiang Chen didn't understand what he meant.

"Yes," Nayef nodded, "I will take the initiative to invite you."

Hearing what he said, Jiang Chen immediately understood what he meant.

Nayef is the crown prince, and he is not the only prince in Saudi Arabia, but the old king likes to change crown princes, so there are quite a few people peeping at him as the crown prince. Although he was in charge of leading the cooperation with Matrix Company this time, the person who initiated the project and recruited Matrix Company was another prince named Rashid.

Although he didn't say anything, the old king seemed very satisfied with Prince Rashid's performance.

And this made Nayef feel uneasy!

"Haha, of course there is no problem, Mr. Nayef, you underestimate the friendship between us." Jiang Chen laughed loudly.

"Thank you so much! You Hua people are really good brothers who value love and loyalty!" Nayef said happily, and used broken Chinese in the last sentence.

Although there were many things to complain about in the grammar of his sentence, Jiang Chen just smiled and exchanged some polite words with him.

For Jiang Chen, this was just a trivial favor.

If Nayef fails to take over, the Future Group will not lose anything. But if he really becomes the crown prince, I believe he will never forget that the Future Group has helped him. (To be continued.) To find this site, please search for "" or enter the URL:
