Chapter 495: Everything Begins Hard
Kaloo is still talking to Luo Luoke in the Saharin Desert about business cooperation, because he is there, because Luo Luoke is there, Ye Chen believes that this time Hua Loach and Gemini's actions will not be risky.
Flower loach is a personal essence, and a jack of all trades. He naturally knows Gemini's ability, Gemini has completed many big tasks independently, and his strength is definitely stronger than himself. This time, Ye Chen arranged him to be the person in charge of the operation, obviously letting Gemini be his bodyguard, and the work of reconnaissance and intelligence was still mainly responsible for Hua Loach.
The international flight went straight to Plymouth City, the port city of the British empire, and got off the plane and went straight to the office building of the FF branch.
Li Minghai and Yao Man have already received the news and are waiting in the office.
Flower Loach and Gemini are low-key people who don't like to be ostentatious. After getting off the plane, he quietly slipped into the branch building and directly found Li Minghai and Yao Man's office.
"Welcome, sit down. Yao Man estimated the travel time and prepared the refreshments in advance.
"You're welcome...... We originally wanted to go directly to the Sakhalin Desert, but we were afraid that our eyes would be blackened, so we first came here to rest and see how things were going on. ”
"It should be considered that it is in full swing," Li Minghai said, "and we have already touched the situation of their suppliers." Now they are mainly busy with the seawater purification and transportation equipment from the desert to the entrance of the harbor, maybe there is a small problem with the purification and desalination filter, and now they are planning to use other methods to solve the irrigation problem of the planting area. ”
"Oh, with the level of science and technology of the Ice and Snow Group, can there still be a problem in such a trivial matter?" Hua Loach felt a little incredible.
"Technology belongs to science and technology, and cost belongs to cost. The Ice & Snow Group intends to make a profit from this project, not to burn money. Now that the cost of their desalination is too high, I am afraid that the commercial grain grown in the later stage will not have market competitiveness, and it will be a shame to smash this big project into their own hands. Desert reclamation requires no more fresh water than anywhere else. ”
"That's just as well!"
"Since the first step has not been completed, the Desert Research Institute project has not started, right?" asked Gemini.
"It seems that in the center of the area, there are signs of construction...... The surroundings are heavily guarded, and they can't be detected. ”
"It's okay, sooner or later. ”
"You should pay special attention to the fact that the Snow Country Research Institute has sent a constant android combat team, and is now patrolling the sea area to remove all instability here. Now, islands, robbers, and even thugs have disappeared from the port cities around Saharin. Their methods are simple and crude. ”
"Isn't there a local ministry to interfere with, and let them do that?"
"Although there are some rights encroachment, it is a good thing in the end, and the local authorities have acquiesced. What's more, they don't want these people to make the mood of the financier bad and end up affecting the investment plan of this big project. ”
The four of them chatted very happily, Hua Loach was not in a hurry to go to the Saharin Desert to reconnoiter intelligence, anyway, this project is not something that can be completed overnight. Now we have to sort out the clues in secret, and it is good to carry out the tasks in the future.
Luo Luoke is still not very happy here, the distillation and desalination glass greenhouse has been almost built, and it has not yet been put into use. Therefore, Luo Luoke and Bai Mimi are not worried about the cost price of the desalinated seawater in the end.
Hui Linsi and Nuo Xijie didn't rush it, but they still had to report. If the headquarters is not satisfied, it may have to replace the two of them.
Life here is much better than the ice and snow of the headquarters, and who wants to go back.
Under the pressure of the two of them, Mei Mambo lived directly on the construction site with a sleeping bag, and as long as he was awake, he had to supervise the work, wishing that he could have forty-eight hours a day to be enough.
"After the construction of the distillation and desalination greenhouse, what should I do if the cost can't be reduced?" Bai Mimi asked a very heart-wrenching question.
"What can I do, do I kill myself?" replied Loroko, leaning back on the couch.
"If that doesn't work, I'd better ask the headquarters for technical assistance. ”
"That's going to negate all of our efforts. ”
"That can't delay the construction period, if you can't solve the water source problem, there is no way to move forward with the next step. ”
Luo Luoke knows Bai Mimi's thoughts, and he doesn't seek merit but no fault. Now we can only wait for the greenhouse to be put into use, if it really can't meet the production needs, there is only this way to go.
Kaloo organized a number of companies to produce sample filters, but in the process of testing, it was not satisfactory. In the end, he gave up his part.
Foxwell returned to the headquarters of the Shoreline Union Bank, and as the head of the bank's logistics department, he had already arranged for the transportation of materials here, and left the rest to Carlo to handle, he did not need to spend time with him.
With detailed information about the desert reclamation plan, Foxwell went to the boss Millester to report.
Millester sat in his office and watched the company's stock price climb all the way, in a very good mood. The cooperation between Shoreline Union Bank and Ice and Snow Group is a strong alliance, and everyone has confidence in their development, so the stock price has risen by more than 10%, and it is about to approach the highest point in history.
"Boss, the material supply and transportation work over there have been arranged!"
"Well, that's good. When will they be able to get on the fast track?"
"You can get regular in about half a year. ”
"Then we're going to have a lot of time...... During this time, you should follow the main seaports in the south of Africa to negotiate, whether it is investment and construction, or shareholding, we must let our forces infiltrate into it, and the whole of Africa will be included in our sphere of influence. In the future, whether it is Weiss, Benjamin, Black Dragon Marshall or any other force, their forward route will be controlled by us. ”
"Got it, I'll do it. ”
Regardless of the form in which other powers want to develop on the Europa continent, sea freight is an indispensable logistics route. Because there are too many countries on the road and the forces are too scattered, if you take land transportation or air transportation, the cost will be more than ten times higher than that of sea transportation.
