Coo, the presidential palace located on Coro Island beca The white paint and marble poles researden becarass field in front of the palace, Jiang Chen saw the bodyguards in suits and shades; he also saw the tourists taking photos
When he arrived, the advisor of the president was already waiting at the door
He was the only one in Xin that didn’t require a reservation to see the president After explaining the purpose of the visit, the advisor respectfully led hiht hi on the sofa in the office
One of the while the other person looked rather unfa Chen co first introduced Jiang Chen as theChen, the president of Xin’s star corporation You must have heard of hi Chen” Smith ina black suit, was clean shaven, and politely extended his hand
“This is the representative fro introduced his guest to Jiang Chen
“hello, Mr S Chen shook hands with hi a seat Then he looked at President Zhang Yaping
Zhang Yaping sensed the question in his eyes and began to explain
“So this is the case Currently, we plan to construct a water desalination plant in Xin, so we invited Matrix Desalination Company to conduct a construction analysis for us on Coro Island”
“Desalination Plant? Is there not enough fresh water on the island?” Jiang Chen was surprised
“Not enough is an understatement Xin’s current water supply relies on i out a stack of docuround water basin distribution amd these are the possible water treat Chen had no idea how much his water bill was for his mansion, especially compounded with the fact that he constantly ran to the apocalypse It was not until Zhang Yaping mentioned this did he realized this probleround aquifer stored an a sea level, sea water being used to clean the roads and houses, the sea water filtrated and polluted into the underground aquifer This depleted the fresh water resources, hence the water supply on the island could only rely on the aquifer in the center of island as well as the small fresh water lake in the nearby Galin Island
Tropical regions typical experienced a long rain season and Xin had an ample aration and exponential growth in tourisned to supply 50 thousand people nowfor the expensive water price, a lot of tourists cafuls of water
But it made life difficult for the locals It would be ridiculous to buy fresh water off of A the workers without Xin citizenshi+p, Xin’s population reached the 50,000 mark
Typically, in major city with sophisticated facility, everyone consurae water consumption was 20 thousand tons of water per day Based on stats, 1 to 2 of the water was needed for drinking, therefore Xin require 200-400 tons of freshwater for its residents
Water for showering could be conserved, but drinking water could not be conservatively overn contract with Australia City West Water to alleviate the water supplying pressure doh price of transportationterress voted to start a bid for the construction of a water desalination plant on Coro Island to decrease the high water price
Before the citizens’ dissatisfaction turned into protest
Jiang Chen flipped through the docu continued to explain
“We plan to give the water desalination plant project to you If Future Group is not interested, we can think of other solutions”
“Why doesn’t CWW build the water plant?” Jiang Chen asked
In Jiang Chen’s memory, it was Australia’s City West Water (CWW) Corporation that handled the water supply and pipelineChen was really disinterested in the fresh water market
Even if the water reached a ridiculous price of 5 USD per ton and they gained an monopoly on Xin’s water supply, the water desalination plant’s monthly profit was at most half a million USD
A yearly profit of six million USD would not even make a material impact on any of Future Group’s internet, food, automotive, or health care business
“CWW thinks our h to support a water desalination plant and chose to ignore our bid And other small companies don’t have the ability to accept the bid If it not possible, Congress is discussing about treating the desalination project as a social benefit project, just like state schools and have the govern Yapin said with a bitter sh the state could not be sustainable even for the rich Xin govern Chen looked to S Chen’s hand and flipped to the page with color
“Based on an assessrated desalination unit in this document, which uses the LT-MED principle The entire desalination production line can handle 35,000 tons of daily capacity and the processing cost of 16 USD per tonne can perfectly solve the current water supply crisis facing Xin ”
“What’s the price?”
