Chapter 814 can't let a good thing become a bad thing

The seawater desalination westward transportation project includes two major projects. One is to provide clean and cheap desalinated Bohai water for the Beijing-Tianjin region, and the other is to provide desalinated Bohai water for the water-scarce areas in the west.

Because the profit prospects of the previous project are uncertain, or in the foreseeable future, there is not much money, the investment department of Galaxy Industrial after careful investigation and research, after reporting to Liu Shiqing for approval, sold the project at a price, and sold the shares in its hands to the Yanjing City Water Supply Company and the Jinmen City Water Supply Company at a premium price of 20 percent, and only retained not a small part of the shares. The second largest shareholder is the Jinmen Water Supply Company, followed by several other companies involved in investment and construction, and Galaxy Water is at the bottom.

Galaxy Water is also helpless to do this. In order to sell the desalinated and clean Bohai water into the hands of the people of the capital, it is necessary to pass the pipes of the Guò Yanjing Water Company. However, in order to maintain its monopoly position, Yanjing Water Supply Company has made it clear that it will not purchase desalinated water from Galaxy Water. The reason announced is nothing more than that the cost of desalinated water is too high for Galaxy Water to be procured. Yinhe Water has been in contact with Yanjing Water Supply Company many times. There is no way to get a better response.

This is a purely commercial issue, and the Yanjing Municipal Government will naturally not handle this kind of matter, and it is expected that the central government will handle this matter. If the Yanjing Water Supply Company always adheres to their approach, even if it buries the pipeline in Yanjing City, it will be in vain. The Yanjing municipal government will not approve the establishment of a water company in addition to the Yanjing water company.

Thinking about it, the only way to do this is to sell the shares, which is a better solution. Anyway, through this transaction, Galaxy Water made all the income from the initial investment, and also made a profit of 20%, which can be regarded as a good deal. Moreover, the launch of this project is conducive to Yinhe Water to concentrate more manpower and material resources, and aim at the main project of the seawater desalination westward transportation project.

Unlike the Yanjing Water Supply Company's practice of taking advantage of its monopoly position and the strong position of the capital, the arid and water-scarce provinces in the west are looking forward to the stars and the moon, and the general headquarters of the seawater desalination project to lay pipelines in their provinces as soon as possible.

The governors and vice governors of many western provinces, such as Frontier Province, Grassland Province, Longxi Province, and Xihai Province, have all gone to Yinhe Industrial and Huaxia Academy of Sciences on more than one occasion to lobby the General Headquarters of the Seawater Desalination Project to give them priority in supplying water. In order to be able to achieve this purpose, they give a variety of preferential policies. In addition to providing a large amount of land resources for units such as Yinhe Industry with cheap rents, it has also given more preferential policies for attracting investment than two exemptions and three halves, and some have even proposed policies to exempt various tax burdens for 10 or even 20 years.

The seawater desalination project to the west began in the second half of last year, and after several months of on-the-spot surveys and finally after collective discussion by the National People's Congress, construction began. After 10 months of hard work, there were more than 100,000 people engaged in the battle, nearly 10,000 engineering vehicles, and 10,000 engineering equipment, in order to be able to hurry. The section of the road that each engineering team is responsible for is not very long, ranging from one or twenty kilometers long to only one or two kilometers short, especially in mountainous areas, where there are often two or three, or even four or five engineering teams, working on a single mountain. Hurrying and hurrying, we finally rushed to the end of 2015 to transport the Bohai Sea to the grassland province.

Vice Premier Shan Liangkun is in charge of science and technology and culture, and his inspection of the seawater desalination project to the west can be regarded as a sideline. On December 30, 2015, Shan Liangkun and leaders of the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Communications, Liu Shiqing, Guo Qianrong, Yang Nuoting and others formed a mighty convoy, starting from Yanjing City, from the highway, straight to the desalination treatment plant in Jinmen City.

Galaxy Water has built two desalination treatment plants in Jinmen City, the smaller one has been resold, and the larger one is still under the name of Galaxy Water. If the seawater desalination project is compared to a dragon, then the seawater desalination treatment plant is definitely the undisputed leader. Without this seawater desalination treatment plant, the seawater desalination westward transportation project is just empty talk on paper, and every qiē is a white tower.

At the beginning, Liu Shiqing talked eloquently in Zhongnanhai, and the Standing Committee, members, and alternate members of the Central Political Bureau, including the No. 1 leader and the premier, were ignorant. Approved Yinhe Industry to do the seawater desalination westward transportation project. However, the Central Political Bureau still has a lot of concerns about the seawater desalination project to the west, especially in terms of technology.

The issue that Chief No. 1 and others are most concerned about is not whether the desalinated clean Bohai sea water can be supplied to the people in the western region in a cheap way -- the Central Political Bureau has reached a consensus that if the water is too expensive, the price of water will be lowered in the form of subsidies from the central government -- but how to ensure that the desalination project to the west will not cause accidents, especially after the people in the western provinces use the Bohai seawater, how to ensure that the water from the Bohai Sea can be continuously transported to the western provinces through guò pipelines.

This may seem like a small problem, but it's actually a big one. It's like a person who is used to living a poor life, and if he continues to live like this, there is a high chance that there will be no problems. But once he drags the poor and becomes rich and lives a rich life, then if one day, he is poor again, then he will definitely not be able to stand it.

In other words, if there is a big problem in the seawater desalination project to the west, after a period of continuous water supply, whether it is a technical problem, an economic problem, or even a policy problem, and the water supply is suddenly stopped, then the people who are accustomed to the situation of no shortage of water will definitely not give up, especially in the western provinces of China, which are also places where ethnic problems are more prominent. Don't look back, a great good thing that has contributed to the present and benefited the future has become the fuse for the outbreak of the national issue.

This is the main purpose of Shan Liangkun's inspection. Ensure that there are no technical flaws in the seawater desalination project to the west. As for the economic and policy issues that may lead to the disruption of water deliveries, other means are used to ensure that no accidents occur.

The convoy drove into Jinmen City, and after integrating into the vehicles of the mayor and deputy mayor of Jinmen City, the convoy went straight to the seawater desalination treatment plant of Yinhe Water in Jinmen City.

This desalination plant covers an area of more than 100 acres, and as soon as you enter the factory gate, you can see dozens of plants, each of which has been built or is building desalination equipment.

In terms of volume, it is the difference between table tennis balls and elephants, and in terms of the ability to desalinate seawater, each set of equipment here, the ability to process seawater per unit time is hundreds of thousands of times that of Guo Qianrong's equipment.

The person in charge of Yinhe Water in Jinmen City personally served as the commentator, "Ladies and gentlemen, we are now looking at the No. 1 workshop, which is the earliest workshop built in this desalination treatment plant, and the equipment installed here is produced by Yinhe Seiko." It took less than nine months to complete the entire plant from design to completion, and it was assembled in one go. At present, most of the desalinated clean Bohai sea water that is transported to the grassland province by pipeline is supplied by Plant 1. ”

Shan Liangkun asked: "How much seawater is desalinated in the No. 1 workshop?" ”

The person in charge said: "The design capacity is 1 million tons per day, but it is only in the trial operation stage, and the daily processing capacity is 500,000 tons. We will depend on the situation of trial run. Gradually increase the amount of daily desalinated seawater, and strive to keep the equipment in Workshop 1 running at full capacity within a year. ”

Shan Liangkun calculated, "Let's not say one million tons, even if it is 500,000 tons per day, when converted, we have to process almost seven tons of seawater per second." How do you guarantee such a large amount? ”

The person in charge said: "Of course, this is thanks to Ms. Guo Qianrong, deputy general manager and director of the science and technology department of our Galaxy Industry. The seawater desalination treatment equipment invented by her enables us to complete the desalination and purification of a large amount of seawater in a short period of time, so that it can meet the national drinking water standard. Ladies and gentlemen, please take a look. The desalination tower over there is more than ten meters high, which is one of the most critical equipment in the whole set of equipment. It has a large number of permeable membranes and reverse osmosis membranes placed inside, which can separate various minerals, pollutants and other impurities dissolved and suspended in seawater from seawater. ”

After that, the person in charge made Shan Liangkun and others dizzy, these political bigwigs who are also at least at the vice-ministerial level have not studied science and technology for many years, and they can still understand the general scientific and technological terms, but they are too professional and difficult for them.

Shan Liangkun didn't understand, he had to pretend to understand, and he had to listen with relish, no matter what, people were kind-hearted, and it took such a big tongue to explain to him, he, as a leader, if he didn't listen, he would be too unclose to the people. Like Shan Liangkun, the officials on the first floor of the crowd also pretended to be interested, and the officials on the second and third floors had a little fluttering eyes.

Liu Shiqing smiled, "Okay, this is not an academic seminar, I won't say it so hard, just talk about the principle." ”

The big boss spoke, and the person in charge dared to say nothing, and said busily: "Chiefs, in fact, there is nothing to see in the No. 1 workshop, if you want to see the scenery, I can take you to a few places to see, and I will make it worthwhile for you." ”

Shan Liangkun was interested, "Do you still have a view of this desalination treatment plant?" ”

The person in charge nodded, "Vice Premier Shan, you don't know, our company is discussing in the desalination treatment plant. The feasibility of opening an industrial tourism project has been completed. I dare to say that the scenery of our Galaxy Water will not be worse than those 4A-level tourist scenic spots. ”

Shan Liangkun smiled, "Hearing you say this, I want to see how beautiful Galaxy Water is." Comrades, should we go with this little comrade to have a look? ”

After looking at the No. 1 workshop, Shan Liangkun's hanging heart was relieved by more than half, and the No. 1 workshop can now process 500,000 tons of seawater per day, and when it is running at full capacity, it can process 1 million tons of seawater. The person in charge just introduced that a workshop like the No. 1 workshop, the entire seawater desalination treatment plant is ready to build a total of 30, that is to say, as long as all the workshops are completed and run at full capacity, then the seawater desalination treatment plant can process 30 million tons of fresh water per day, and can process nearly 11 billion tons of seawater according to the calculation of 365 days per year. That is to say, in terms of design and technology, Yinhe Water has the ability to ensure that there are no problems at the source of the seawater desalination westward transportation project.

It is precisely because of this that Shan Liangkun is interested in seeing what scenery at this time.

Shan Liangkun, Liu Shiqing and others followed the person in charge and walked towards the beach. The desalination plant is built not very far from the Bohai Sea, which is done to facilitate water intake, after all, the water intake of the entire desalination treatment plant is a bit large, which is 11 billion tons of seawater every year, which is enough to flood Jinmen City two or three times.

Before I walked to the beach, I saw dozens of thick pipes poking into the Bohai Bay, and if you looked along the pipes, you would see several huge whirlpools on the sea, and those pipes seemed to be long whales absorbing water, continuously pumping Bohai sea water into the desalination treatment plant. The scene is quite shocking, timid people, looking at such a big whirlpool, nine times out of ten they will have weak legs.

Shan Liangkun and others looked at the whirlpools on the sea, and were speechless for a long time, from the perspective of looking at the scenery, these whirlpools on the sea can indeed attract a lot of tourists.

"These whirlpools are dangerous, what precautions have you taken at Galaxy Water?" Shan Liangkun asked.

The person in charge said: "We have taken a lot of measures, first of all, we have leased this sea area and the land of the desalination treatment plant, and asked the Tianjin Port Authority to designate this sea area as a no-navigation zone, and secondly, we have set up a lot of traffic lights and warning signs around the area to warn passing ships not to go here." In addition, we have set up patrols on the surrounding beaches and around the sea area to prevent tourists from going to sea and preventing sea boats from approaching. In addition, we have also bought commercial insurance, and if a tourist accidentally has an accident here, we can get a certain amount of financial compensation. ”

Shan Liangkun nodded, "This place is spectacular, human life is at stake, and you can't be sloppy." You Galaxy Water must pay attention to this aspect, the seawater desalination project is a good thing for the benefit of the people, we can't let a good thing become a bad thing. ”

Liu Shiqing said on the side: "Vice Premier Shan, don't worry, turn around, I will let people pull protective nets around the perimeter to do my best to prevent the approach of sea ships and tourists." ”
