Chapter 664: An Order of 2 Million Tons
After some bargaining, Nayef finally reluctantly accepted Jiang Chen's proposal.
The two returned to the building, and Jiang Chen took him to his office. At the same time, Xia Shiyu also placed the prepared agreement on Jiang Chen's desk.
No one wants drinking water to be controlled by others, but there is no way, the price offered by the Future Group is too tempting!
At present, the average cost of seawater desalination in Saudi Arabia is US$1.53 per ton. This is because they are a major oil-producing country and the cost of thermal power generation is very low.
According to the agreement reached by the two, the Future Group will cooperate with the beach seawater desalination company controlled by the Saudi royal family.
In the future, the seawater desalination platform produced by Renzhong will be anchored near the Red Sea, and the laying of the submarine water pipeline will be completed by Saudi Arabia. Jiang Chen was in charge of turning on the faucet, and Nayef dragged the pipe to collect the water, pumped the desalinated water into the reservoir, and paid the Future Group at a price of $1 per square meter.
Theoretically, as long as the seawater collection units around the platform and the seawater desalination modules on the platform are added, the seawater desalination efficiency of a single platform can reach a terrifying figure of 4 million tons per day!
However, the terrible water throughput naturally also means terrible energy consumption. But it doesn't matter, the platform is next to the port of Saudi Arabia, an oil bully, and the cost of fuel is very cheap!
Nayef promised Jiang Chen that relatively cheap natural gas and fuel oil would be delivered to offshore platforms. According to the agreement between the two parties to supply 2 million tons of desalinated water per day, the price per ton of fresh water can be reduced to an ultra-low price of US$0.37.
If this currency unit is converted into RMB, it is almost the cost of water treatment, which shows how low the cost is.
At that time, this offshore platform will bring in a daily income of US$1.2 million for the Future Group, which is more than US$400 million in one year!
The Saudi royal family will save at least 600 million US dollars in the budget for the domestic fresh water supply subsidy policy. At the same time, the new energy seawater desalination base project originally planned to be built along the coast of the Red Sea will be cancelled, which will also save it $1.5 billion in engineering investment.
Nayef held this contract for three years. With that contract, Nayef happily boarded a private jet and couldn't wait to return to Saudi Arabia.
He was looking forward to the expression on his father's face.
When his younger brother hastily brought in the American Matrix Company, negotiated the equipment with a purification cost of 1.5 US dollars, and was about to pay 1.5 billion US dollars for the project, but he quietly got 1 from overseas. USD per ton water supply contract.
He knows very well
My father took the seawater desalination project seriously.
Haha, Rashid, my dear brother, be your Arab prince honestly. It is better for this king to be a capable person!
Regardless of how ecstatic Nayef was on the plane, Jiang Chen had just returned to the Future Man Building, and the seawater desalination platform on the east coast of Koro Island had completed the docking with the pipeline laid by the CWW Group and started trial operation.
When cheap fresh water filled the cww group's reservoir, the cww group immediately implemented the document issued by the new government and lowered the water price.
On the basis of the original price, the water price in Xinguo was directly cut in half!
The news spread throughout the country through Koro Island TV, media newspapers and the Internet.
[Future Human Heavy Industry's first seawater desalination platform is completed, cww group announced that the water price will be reduced by 50%, and will continue to reduce the price by 17% next month on the basis of the reduced water price]
[Jiang Chen, chairman of Future People Group, announced that the price of water in Xinguo should be brought back to rationality, so that every citizen of Xinguo can drink cheap fresh water! 】
【It is reported that the fresh water output from the seawater desalination platform will meet the drinking water standard!...】
"My God! The price of tap water has dropped!"
"Two days ago, our family was considering wholesale plastic buckets in the supermarket. If it keeps getting so expensive, we can only purify the rainwater ourselves... Thank God, the price has finally been reduced!"
"Did you see that seawater desalination platform? It says Future Heavy Industry!"
"Praise Future Group! Praise Jiang Chen!"
The whole country is caught in the carnival of fresh water price cuts!
According to the statistics of the cww group, the water consumption on the day of the price reduction surged by 35% compared with the day before, and it gradually returned to rationality after a week.
At the same time, the seawater desalination technology launched by Future Heavy Industries has also attracted the attention of the world. It's not because of how cheap the fresh water it produces and how efficient the output is, but because the cool way of unfolding the offshore platform is really impressive.
Someone took a picture of that scene and uploaded it to YouTube and other video sites. On the first day of uploading, the number of views on the video exceeded one million!
Netizens from all over the world swiped their screens in the comment section, and half of them were asking the person who uploaded the video which sci-fi movie the clip was taken from. And many netizens who knew about it kept clarifying: "Where is this sci-fi movie? Can you see the big characters of "Future Man Heavy Industry" on it? It doesn't matter if you don't know it. Call Xiaolin from your family!"
The "Washington Post" was the first to report on the matter, and then the "New York Times", "Los Angeles Daily" and other major media reprinted it one after another.
Well-known journalist Jim Lane described what happened in an exaggerated tone in an interview with CTV's late-night talk show.
"It's really unbelievable, have you seen Transformers? Of course, what I want to say is not that I saw Transformers, but the video that went viral on the Internet! You can't imagine the expression on my face at that time... "
Compared with the ups and downs on the Internet, after the first few days of carnival, public opinion in Xinguo has returned to calm.
There has been good news from Saudi Arabia. The King of Saudi Arabia is very satisfied with the contract signed between Nayef and Future Group, and welcomes such high-tech enterprises as Future Group. At present, Future Heavy Industry has started to produce the parts of the second seawater desalination platform. The produced parts will be shipped to Saudi Arabia by the ship of Huaguo Ocean Company, and temporarily stored in the warehouse of Yanbu Port.
It is expected that the production of all parts will be completed by the end of the month. At that time, the engineering ship of the Future Group will sail through the Gulf of Aden and go to the Red Sea to complete the assembly of the seawater desalination platform. Compared with the platform deployed east of Koro Island, the seawater desalination platform manufactured by Futureman Heavy Industry for Saudi Arabia has a higher output.
In order to supervise the production, Jiang Chen personally went to the high-tech park on Anjia Island, and found Lin Zhengyang, the director of Future Heavy Industry who was in charge of the production.
"This project will serve as a model project for Renhe in the field of seawater desalination in the future. I ask you to pay close attention to the quality of the project. Even a single screw will not make me wrong!"
"Yes! Boss!" Lin Zhengyang shouted with a red neck.
Patting him on the shoulder, Jiang Chen signaled him to return to his post.
Just when Jiang Chen was going to go around the factory and inspect the production situation of Xiaolin's production line, the phone in his pocket rang.
I took it out and saw that it was Xia Shiyu calling.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Chen asked after answering the phone.
"'Blue Seagull' International Marine Conservation Association issued an announcement on its official website, claiming that our marine resource development activities in the Pacific Ocean have seriously damaged the local ecological balance, and sent a lawyer's letter to our group, hoping that we will stop the damage to the marine ecological environment. .”
Hearing Xia Shiyu's words, Jiang Chen was stunned.
Destroy the ecological environment?
