Chapter 660 (1/2)

The president's house on Koro island is much more busy than it was a year ago. Because the outline of the white paint and marble pillars is similar to the White House and the magnificent subtropical garden, it is also regarded as one of the tourist attractions by visitors here.

On the lawn in front of the courtyard, Jiang Chen can see bodyguards in suits and sunglasses, as well as tourists taking pictures.

When Jiang arrived, the president's chief of staff was already waiting at the door.

He was the only one in the new country who did not need to make an appointment to see the president. After explaining his intention, the chief of staff respectfully led him into the hall and took him to the office.

There are two people sitting on the sofa in the office.

One of them, of course, is Zhang Yaping, while the white man Jiang Chen looks a little fresh.

Seeing Jiang Chen come in, they stand up. In line with the principle of respecting first, Zhang Yaping introduces Jiang Chen first.

”This is Jiang Chen, chairman of futuren group, a star enterprise of our new country. You should have heard of it.”

”Nice to meet you, Mr. Jiang Chen.” Dressed in a black suit and clean shaved mouth, Smith politely extended his hand to Jiang Chen.

”This is Rudd Smith, representative of matrix desalination in the United States.” Then, Zhang Yaping introduced Mr. Smith to Jiang Chen with a smile.

”Hello, Mr. Smith. Nice to meet you, too.”

After shaking hands with him, Jiang Chen nodded with a smile. Then he took his seat and looked at President Zhang Yaping.

Aware of the inquiry in his eyes, Zhang Yaping immediately said with a smile.

”Well, at present, we are going to build a desalination plant in Singapore, so we invited matrix desalination company of the United States and asked them to do an engineering evaluation for us on Coro island.”

”Desalination plant? Is there not enough fresh water on the island? ” Jiang Chen asked unexpectedly.

”It's not enough. The country's fresh water has been imported from Australia.” ”This document is about the distribution of groundwater on the island, and this is the location of the water treatment plant,” Smith joked

For his villa every month to pay how much water and electricity charges, Jiang Chen heart has no concept. He didn't bother to look at the hundreds and hundreds of bills, not to mention that he always ran to the end of the world. It was not until Zhang Yaping mentioned it that he realized the problem.

Before the 20th century, Colo island was rich in underground freshwater resources. But. With the global warming, the sea level rises, the sea washes the roads and houses on the island, thus the sea water pours back and pollutes the groundwater seriously. The fresh water resources in the periphery of the island no longer exist. The drinking water on the island can only rely on the groundwater in the center of the island and the small freshwater lake next to Garlin island.

Due to the heavy rainfall in the tropics, the fresh water resources of the new country were sufficient. However, with the increase of immigrants and the surge of tourism, the water supply system which used to supply only 50000 people had to supply water to 150000 people. In order to avoid paying for the high price of water, many tourists even pack their bags with mineral water.

However, the local people are suffering. They can't even buy fresh water from Amazon.

At present, the population of new China has increased to 50000, including those who have not yet obtained their nationality.

It is generally believed that. In large cities with good facilities, each person needs to consume 400 kg of fresh water per day, which means that 20000 tons of water is needed for normal domestic water in New China. According to statistics, about 1% - 2% of the normal urban water supply is for drinking, so the residents of new China need at least 200-400 tons of fresh water every day for drinking water demand.

Bathing can save, but drinking water is not!

Fortunately, the new government has the money to sign a water supply contract with the Australian water company to supply 12000 tons of fresh water a day to ease the pressure on domestic water supply. However, due to the high freight rate, it is impossible to import fresh water for a long time.

The new parliament voted. Prepare to tender for the construction of desalination equipment on Coro island to curb high water prices.

Before public discontent turns into protest.

Jiang Chen flipped through the document and Zhang Yaping went on to say.

”We are going to leave the desalination plant to you. If the future people group is not interested, we can also think of another way. ”

”Why not give it to the waterworks?” Jiang Chen asked casually.

In Jiang Chen's impression. The City West Water Company of Australia, CWW group, is responsible for the fresh water supply and water pipeline maintenance services in Panu islands. Jiang Chen is not interested in the market of fresh water supply.

Even if the price of a ton of water is as high as $5 and monopolizes the fresh water business of the whole new country, the monthly net profit of the desalination plant will be only $500000.

The annual income is only 6 million, compared with the income of futuren group in the fields of Internet, food, robot, automobile industry and medical treatment. It's not even a small profit.

”CWW group thinks that our market is not enough to support a desalination plant and ignores our bidding documents. And other small companies, also do not have the ability to accept the bid. If not, the Council is discussing the desalination project as a social welfare project run by the government like a public school. ” Zhang Yaping said with a bitter smile.Even if the new government has money, it can't afford to continue to subsidize freshwater.

”What is your opinion?” Jiang Chen looks at Smith.

With a smile, Smith took over the document in Jiang Chen's hand and turned to a page with color pictures.

”In view of the situation in Panu islands, our company recommends the integrated seawater desalination device with LT Med principle in the document. The daily treatment capacity of the whole desalination production line can reach 35000 tons, and the treatment cost is US $1.6 per ton, which can perfectly solve the water supply crisis faced by new China
