Chapter 1436 (1/2)
There is a saying that makes sense.
Controlling the Middle East means controlling oil prices.
Controlling oil prices means controlling the global economy.
And controlling fresh water means controlling the whole Middle East.
As the only developed country in the Middle East, as early as ten years ago, Israel had the largest desalination operation facilities in the world, with more than 30 desalination facilities and hundreds of companies active in the field of water management.
IDE, the company, said that the leader among them is also the leader of Israel's desalination enterprises.
“IDE? You got rid of IDE? If I remember correctly, Sorek should be Israel's Largest Desalination company and water supplier? Is that how the Israeli government is watching you? ” Jiang Chen is a little surprised to ask a way.
”Of course, they didn't watch. Our acquisition can be described as twists and turns. Fortunately, the Boston consortium has made a lot of efforts. After all, hi tech freshwater also has some shares in it. In addition, nayev's side also helped a little Xia Shiyu bent his mouth and beamed with a proud smile, ”once this acquisition is completed, hi tech fresh water will become the largest freshwater supplier in the Middle East. Eighty percent of the people in the Middle East live and produce, and they will be directly affected by us. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Chen's face finally showed a satisfied smile.
If it is only S $3.5 billion acquisition, it will not attract his attention. After all, compared with his current assets, even the market value of high-tech freshwater can only be regarded as that. However, if we combine the influence of high-tech fresh water for the future group, the significance is completely different.
To take the most direct example, star ring trade has been seeking to spread the global power grid to Europe. As the gateway of the global power grid from the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean, the business progress of star ring trade in the Middle East countries is not smooth.
Not only because of the influence of the United States in the region, but also because of the vigilance of the Middle East countries for the star ring trade. Although Saudi Arabia has been seeking to reduce the huge number of high pollution thermal power plants in the country, the current king of Saudi Arabia is still worried about fully opening the door of domestic power market. In addition, there are Americans lobbying nearby. Even if nayev is standing on Jiang Chen's side, he can't help much at this time.
Now, the water pipe of futuren group is paving the road ahead, and everything becomes better. With the increasing influence of the new country's industry in the Middle East, it is only a matter of time before the global power grid of star ring trade crosses the Gulf of Aden into the Mediterranean Sea.
”One more thing, the 2020 financial report is coming out soon. I just saw the first draft from the finance department today. Don't you plan to read it first?” Xia Shiyu said.
”The first draft? I'd better leave my expectation to the official draft. ” Jiang Chen said with a smile.
”You're not curious at all?” Xia Shiyu bent the corner of his mouth, teasingly said, ”anyway, when I look at it, it's frightening.”
”What are you curious about?” Jiang Chen laughed and sighed, ”no matter how long it is, it's just a string of numbers.”
”Poo hee --”
one didn't resist. Xia Shiyu laughed and leaned back on the sofa. The two fragrant shoulders trembled gently, and the wisp of green silk on the cheek swayed gently with the ups and downs of the chest. Before she could catch her breath, she suddenly saw a black shadow coming up.
”Ah.”
A short exclamation, Xia Shiyu was turned over by Jiang Chen, lying on his legs.
”What are you doing...” Nervously looking at the direction of the stairs, Xia Shiyu pushed Jiang Chen's chest with a red face and struggled restlessly, ”put me down quickly. You man, what time is it now - woo! ”
Only half of the words, the rest of the words will be a cry of pain to replace.
It doesn't hurt. It's just the sound of a light sound. Xia Shiyu's face is thin. She just wants to find a crack in the ground.
”Dare to make fun of your husband,” Jiang Chen said with a bad smile, and raised his right hand to the buttocks. ”Now dare you laugh?”
