Chapter 665: Two Million Tons Order

Chapter 665: Two Million Tons Order

After an intense negotiation, Yerif finally reluctantly accepted Jiang Chen’s proposal.

The two went back into the building; Jiang Chen took him to his office. At the same time, Xia Shiyu placed the prepared agreement on Jiang Chen’s table.

No one was willing to have their drinking water be controlled by someone else, but they couldn’t do anything about it since Future Group’s price was too attractive!

Saudi’s currently desalinated water price was around 1.53 US dollar per ton and it was because of being a major oil producing country and hence a low fire power electricity price.

Based on their agreement, Future Group would partner with Saudi Royal Family controlled Beach Seawater Desalination Company.

Future Heavy Industrial’s desalination platform would dock near the Red Sea coast while Saudi would complete the underwater pipelines. Jiang Chen would be responsible for opening the tap while Yerif would drag the tube over to connect the water and pay Jiang Chen 1 US dollar per cubic meter of water.

In theory, with additional water collection modules around the platform and water desalination modules on the platform, a single platform could treatment four million tons of water per day!

But the high water output naturally meant high energy consumption. But it was okay since Saudi’s port was right beside the platform and the cost of fuel was low!

Yerif promised Jiang Chen to transport cheap natural gas and fuel to the platform. Based on the 2 million ton of hydro supply per day, the price of every tonne of water could be compressed to 0.37 US dollar.

The price was similar to underground treatment cost. The price was beyond belief.

By then, the platform would provide Future Group an income of 1.2 million US dollar per day; 400 million US dollar per year.

Saudi’s Royal Family would save at least 600 million US dollar in cost related to subsidizing water. The originally intended new energy desalination plant built off the coast of Red Sea was canceled and resulted in a saving of construction investment of 1.5 billion US dollar.

Yerif signed the contract in three days. With the contract, Yerif hopped on his plane in euphoria and eagerly returned to Saudi.

He looked forward to his father’s expression.

While his younger brother brought Matrix and negotiated a 1.5 US dollar per cube of fresh water with a 1.5 billion US dollar construction fee, he silently brought back a contract of only 1 US dollar.

He knew how much emphasis his father placed on the desalination project.

[Haha, Rashid, my dear brother, just be your Arab Prince. The position of King should be given to someone with ability!]

Regardless how ecstatic Yerif was on the plane, just as Jiang Chen stepped into the Future Building, the platform off of the east coast connected with CWW’s pipeline and initiated its trial run.

When the cheap water filled CWW’s reservoir, CWW immediately executed Xin government’s plan of reducing water prices.

Based on the original price, Xin’s water price would be slashed in half.

The news was spread through TV stations, newspapers, and the internet to all of Xin.

“My God! Water prices have dropped!”

“My family was considering buying some plastic barrels. With how high the price was, we were going to resort to purifying rainwater ourselves… Thank God, the price is finally going down!”

“Did you see the platform? It said Future Heavy Industries!”

“Praise Future Group, Praise Jiang Chen!”

The entire country was in celebration for the reduction in hydro rate.

Based on CWW’s report, water consumption spiked by 35% on the day of and only returned to a reasonable level a week later.

At the same time, Future Heavy Industries’ desalination technology began to draw the attention of the world. It was not because of the cheap water or insane efficiency, but rather because of the futuristic deployment which left a deep impression on everyone.

Someone captured the scene and uploaded it onto social media sites. On the first of uploading, the views broke the million mark!

The netizens around the world was spamming in the comments, asking the person who uploaded the video which film it was from. Some of the netizens aware of the situation continuously clarified, “This is not a sci-fi film! It says ‘Future Heavy Industrial’ on there. Do you not know? Call your Xiao Lin over!”

Washington Post first reported on the news, New York Time, Los Angles Time subsequently all cited it.

Renowned journalist Jim Calvin who took part in a show with CBS used an exaggerative tone to describe what happened.

“It was incredible. Have you seen Transformers? Of course, I’m not saying I saw Transformers, but the video that went viral! You absolutely could not imagine my expression then…”

After a few days of celebration, Xin returned to peace.

There was already good news from Saudi. Saudi’s King was extremely pleased with the contract Yerif and Future Group signed and stated their welcoming attitude to the high tech corporation. Future Heavy Industrial started the production of the second desalination platform. The finished parts would be shipped to Saudi and stored at the port.

All the parts were estimated to be completed by month-end. Future Group’s construction boats will sail across the Gulf of Aden and enter the Red Sea region to complete the platform assembly. Compared with the one deployed off the east coast of Coro Island, the Saudi model had a higher production.

To ensure production, Jiang Chen made a trip to the technology park on Ange Island to speak with Lin Zhengyang, the one responsible for Future Heavy Industrial’s production.

“This project is the marquee project for Future Heavy Industries in desalination. I need you to keep a close eye on the quality of every screw!”

“Yes! Boss!” Lin Zhengyang responded in high spirit.

Jiang Chen patted him on the shoulder and signaled him to go back to his post.

Just as he wanted to take a tour of the Xiao Lin production line, his phone began to ring.

It was Xia Shiyu.

“What’s up?” Jiang Chen picked up.

“What the f*ck?”

“‘Blue Seagull’ International Ocean Protection Committee released a statement on their site stating that our ocean exploration activity in the Pacific heavily disrupted the local ecosystem and sent a lawyer’s letter to our group. They hope we can stop destroying the ocean habitat.”

Jiang Chen was stunned.

[Destroying the ocean habitat?]

[What the fu*k?]
