Chapter 683 (2/2)
In fact, Prince Sultan also knew what the reason was, but he didn't dare to say more because he had too much interests and too many members involved. Even as the third person in the country, I dare not offend too many people.
Prince Sultan: ”richer than you, smarter than you, and harder than you. This is instead an opportunity. Saudi Arabia needs to invest a lot of money in recent years to transform, so it can appropriately reduce the quality of life. Of course, this is just a proposal, and the country can't afford it without changing. ”
Knowing that Sultan dared not say anything, it would offend a large number of people. If we want to really promote reform, we need the support of the king. At present, the primary task is to negotiate with Bao Zixuan. Others are waiting for the negotiation results to come out.
Although he came out alone, the Royal Guard protected him. After receiving the notice, he quickly reported to baozixuan and learned that the crown prince and Prince Sultan were waiting for him at home. Steamed stuffed bun Xuan was ecstatic and saw that it was time to give results.
When baozixuan arrived at the villa, Prince Sultan and crown prince were already in the living room. It seems that Saudi Arabia is more anxious than him, which is good news. But we can't be insatiable. Just do what is appropriate until it can be done.
Bao Zixuan: ”sorry to keep you waiting.”
Crown Prince Abdullah smiled and said, ”don't say that. It's wrong that we didn't say hello in advance before we came here. And we are also the host anyway. It's natural to wait a minute. ”
Baozixuan didn't expect that the crown prince of Saudi Arabia would be so polite. Are all royal family members like this!
In fact, respect is mutual. If baozixuan doesn't have black cloud group, huge wealth and technology needed by Saudi Arabia. People will not be so polite. Not everyone deserves to be treated like this by the Saudi royal family.
Bao Zixuan: ”thank you very much for your understanding. The royal family can have such an attitude; It seems that black cloud group's investment in Saudi Arabia is the right choice. ”
Crown Prince Abdullah gave Prince Sultan a look, which means you have to speak! I can't say alone that you are the most familiar here.
Sultan understood and said with a smile, ”Mr. Bao, we are all old friends. You have seen the sincerity of Saudi Arabia. The royal family wants to know how much it needs to invest according to the whole plan, and how many years it needs to invest continuously; When will each project generate revenue? ”
”We should have a number in mind to see if the Saudi economy can support such a huge plan.”
Steamed stuffed bun Xuan knew that the Saudi royal family began to be serious. Being able to ask this, and coming together with the country's second and third figures, itself explained a lot of problems.
It seems that the Saudi royal family wants to invest in all projects. At present, it depends on the appetite of black cloud group.
Fortunately, baozixuan was ready and said seriously, ”we should solve the problems of water and electricity in the early stage; The investment of seawater desalination plant is about US $1 billion. After completion, it can produce 3.3 million cubic meters of fresh water every day, which can meet the basic life and work of 5 million people. It can also ensure some industrial water. That is to say, if such a desalination plant is built, Riyadh will no longer have to worry about the supply of fresh water. ”
”At the same time, the salt, calcium carbonate and other substances produced can also meet the needs of 5 million people.”
”The equipment can operate for more than 20 years, during which some parts need to be replaced; The total cost is expected to be about $1.5 billion. At the same time, 800 engineering and technical personnel are required for maintenance and operation, and the annual labor cost is about US $20 million. 8 million kwh of electricity is needed every day. Based on the calculation of US $0.2 per kWh of natural gas power generation, the annual electricity charge is about US $576 million. ”
”In other words, the water charge per cubic meter will be about US $0.60, and of course, there will be some losses during the period. Overall, the water charge per cubic meter will not exceed US $1, which is within the scope of the plan. ”
Hearing this figure, the two important members of the Saudi royal family feel very feasible, and the price is really acceptable. Even if the royal family does not invest, there is no problem with personal investment. They are also proper local tyrants.
Water alone can save a lot of money every year, and even salt can be saved by building a desalination plant. If you really follow what baozixuan said, it will definitely be a profitable business.
But we all know that things will not be so simple; The R & D cost of black cloud group has not been calculated, that is the key.
