I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World

Compared to the coldness of a year ago, the Presidential Palace in Koro Island has a lot of fun. Because the white paint and the marble pillars are similar in the shape of house, the magnificent subtropical garden, it is also visited by visitors as one of the attractions.

    On the lawn in front of the courtyard, Jiang Chen can see the bodyguards in the suit sunglasses and can also see the tourists taking photos.

    When President Chen arrived, President’s Chief of Staff had already waited at the door.

    Throughout the Country of Xin, only he saw the President does not need an appointment. After explaining his intentions, the Chief of Staff respectfully introduced him to the hall and took him to Office.

    Two people sat on the sofa in Office.

    One of them is naturally Zhang Yaping, and the other white, Jiang Chen, looks a little unprepared.

    When Jiang Chen came in, the two stood up. In accordance with the principle of respect for the patron saint, Zhang Yaping first introduced Jiang Chen.

    “This is Jiang Chen, the future of the celebrity Enterprise Chairman Group of our country of Xin, which you should have heard.” ”

    “It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Jiang Chen.”Dressed in black suit, with a clean beard on his lips, Smith gave Jiang Chen a polite hand.

    “This is Representative of the United States Matrix Desalination Company, Rudd Smith.”Then, Zhang Yaping smiled at Jiang Chen and introduced it to Mr. Smith.

    “Hello, Mr. Smith, I am also very happy to meet you.”

    After shaking hands with him, Jiang Chen smiled and nodded, then seated, asking for the Presidentzhang yaping.

    Perceived the inquiries in his eyes, Zhang Yaping immediately smiled and said.

    “This is the case. At present, we plan to build a seawater desalination factory in the Country of Xin, so we invited the United States Matrix Desalination Company and asked them to do an engineering evaluation for us on Koro Island.”

    “seawater desalination factory? Isn’t there enough fresh water on the island? ”Jiang Chen asked unexpectedly.

    “It’s not enough, Country of Xin. The current freshwater has been dependent on Australia imports. ”Smith joked, taking a stack of papers out of his briefcase, “This document is the distribution of groundwater on the island, the site of water treatment plant.” ”

    Jiang Chen had no idea how much water and electricity would be paid for his villa every month, and thousands of hundreds of of the bills he didn’t even bother to look at, not to mention that he was always running towards last. It was not until Zhang Yaping mentioned this matter that he realized the problem.

    Before the 20th century, underground water resources on Koro Island were already abundant. However, as global warming, sea level rise, the sea washed the island’s roads and houses, the seawater intrusion, serious pollution of groundwater, the island outside the water resources no longer exist, the island’s water can only rely on the remaining island central groundwater, And the small-scale freshwater lake next door to Garin Island.

    In the tropical rains, the light water resources of the Country of Xin were sufficient. With the increase in immigration and the explosion of the tourism industry, the water supply system, which originally provided water for 50,000 people, now has to supply 150,000 people. In order to avoid paying for expensive water prices, many tourists even travel with mineral water full of backpacks.

    However, the locals can suffer, and they cannot always buy fresh water on Amazon.

    Including laborers who have not yet acquired their nationality, the population of Country of Xin has now grown to “50.”

    It is generally believed that in a well-equipped large city, each person needs 400 kilograms of fresh water per day, which means that Country of Xin water for daily life needs 20,000 tons of water per day. According to statistics, about 1%-2% of the normal city water supply is for drinking, so maintaining the residents of Country of Xin needs at least 200-400 tons of fresh water every day due to drinking water demand.

    The bath can save the province, but the drinking water is not save!

    Fortunately, the Country of Xingovernment has money, a water supply contract with the Australian Water Company, a 12,000-ton daily fresh water supply contract to ease the domestic water supply pressure. However, the high freight rates doomed the import of fresh water could not be a long-term solution.

    Country of XinParliament投票决定，准备招标在Koro Island建造seawater desalination设备，以遏制高昂的water price。

    Before people’s discontent turns into protests.

    Jiang Chen flipped over the documents, Zhang Yaping said next to them.

    “Seawater desalination factory is what we plan to hand over to you. If the Future Group is not interested, we can also think of ways. ”

    “Why not give it to the water plant?”Jiang Chen asked casually.

    In Jiang Chen’s impression, Pannu Archipelago is responsible for the freshwater supply, the water Pipeline maintenance service is Australia’s CITY-WEST-WATECOMPANY,ABBREVIATEDCWW group. 对于淡水供应这块儿的市场，Jiang Chen实在没什么兴趣。

    Even if it cost more than five tons of water for a ton of water and monopolized the entire freshwater business of Country of Xin, the net profit per month of this seawater desalination factory was only five “100USD.”

    The annual revenue is only 61 million. Compared with the Future Group’s revenue in the Internet, food, robot, automobile industry, medical and other fields, it is not even a small profit.

    “The CWW Group believes that our market is completely inadequate to support a seawater desalination factory and does not care about our tender documents at all. Other small company, there is no ability to pick up the target. If this is not possible, Parliament is discussing this seawater desalination project as a social welfare project, which is operated by a government like a public school. ”Zhang yaping wry smile way.

    Continue to the fresh water this son financial subsidy, even if country of xingovernment money also unbearable.

    “What is your opinion?”Jiang Chen looked to Smith.

    Smith smiled, took Jiang Chen hands of documents, turned to a page with a color map.

    “For the case of Pannu Archipelago, our company’s recommendation is the integrated seawater desalination device in this document using the LT-MED principle. The entire seawater desalination production line daily processing capacity can reach 3.50000 tons, the processing cost is 1.6USD per ton, can solve the water supply crisis which country of Xin is facing perfectly. ”

    “What about the price?” ”

    “Including the construction of the processing plant, our offer here is “150 USD.” ”

    Too expensiveZhang Yaping shook his head.

    Even without consideration for equipment maintenance costs, this light water treatment plant Ideally, it would take more than 30 years to recover the cost of the investment. Although not bad money, but Jiang Chen no reason to take the next a doomed loss of business.

    Smith smiled helplessly.

    “Seawater desalination is a long-term investment. Believe me, the one-time investment is definitely more cost-effective than the long-term import of fresh water. ”

    “Can’t be cheaper?”

    “This is the market price.”Smith said in an irreconcilable tone, “We have designed the seawater desalination equipment for the Maldives, Kuwait, Saudi and other countries in our Matrix Desalination Company, but it will be much more expensive than selling to you.”

    To be honest, Smith talked about it for so many days and he was impatient.

    The negotiations have been going on for so long, but there is no progress at all. The Country of Xingovernment wants to engage in seawater desalination, but does not want to own this money. The largest water supplier, the CWW Group, directly gave him a closed door and made him feel that he was really wasting time.

    The company urged him to resolve the matter as soon as possible and took his team to Saudi. There’s a single value in there. “1USD, the cooperation project with Saudiseawater Desalinationparent Company is waiting for him,

    At this time, Jiang Chen suddenly spoke up.

    “Wait, you mean… the market price of the seawater desalination device is very expensive?”

    – What does it look like? Do you think that the seawater desalination is just a stove boiling water? I recommend you to try. ”

    To leave this unprovokable sentence, Smith got up and left a business card on the table and looked at Zhang Yaping.

    “Unfortunately, Mr. President, we failed to reach a cooperation agreement, and my team and I have already wasted a week on the island. As for the cost of geological assessment, water Treatment Plant site inspection, we can only settle it separately. We will send the bill to presidential Palace in seven days, and if you and your think tank are OK, please contact us at that time. I have a flight in two hours. ”

    Saying that Smith lifted his briefcase, he didn’t go back.

    Zhang Yaping wanted to stay, but he was pulled by Jiang Chen.

    “Let him go, I don’t care about working with them.”Jiang Chen said with a smile.

    “Oh, if it doesn’t work, the money is still drawn. We can’t always import fresh water from abroad…Wait, what do you say? Are you planning to get involved in the freshwater business? ”Zhang yaping suddenly back to taste, surprised to look at Jiang Chen.

    If Future Group intends to take over this project, he has nothing to worry about!

    “It wasn’t the original intention,” Jiang Chen said rudely, and hey hey smiled. “But as he said, the market size of the seawater desalination seems a bit big.”

    It was a mistake. With his eyes on Country of Xin, Jiang Chen almost forgot that the country lacking water is more than a Country of Xin one! Those who Saudi Ah, United Arab Emirates Ah Petroleumgreat Nation, can be water than gold of the Lord.

    Far not to say, and then say near. Why China is spending huge amounts of South Water.North Transfer Project? It is not because of the lack of water in the North! If you can build a dozen of its light water treatment plants along the coast of Bo Sea, this south water.Is Northing still useful?

    Seawater desalination This where is petty, really is profiteering! Is seawater desalination a problem in the 22nd century? What reverse osmosis method, low temperature many imitate, electrodialysis method really weak burst!

    I was so blind that I almost didn’t pick up the money on my feet.

    When thinking of this, Jiang Chen couldn’t sit still at the moment, and his thighs stood up.

    Hey, sorry, Matrix Desalination Company, right? From now on, you have competitors!

    See Jiang Chen is going to go, Zhang Yaping asked anxiously.

    “You are going?”

    Just when Smith walked away, he didn’t stop. Now that Jiang Chen was planning to walk without saying a word, he could not help but worry.

    This freshwater problem has to be solved!

    Stopped the pace, Jiang Chen turned his head and smiled at him.

    “Go to the CWW Group to talk about it. I just suddenly remembered that this part of the seawater desalination equipment, Future Heavy Industry seems to be able to do. ”

    Hearing Jiang Chen’s “seems to be”, Zhang Yaping was almost suffocating and vomited a few words in his heart.

    Damn! Your sister’s, can do you have said earlier!
