Chapter 146: Investment Opportunities
Wang Chao took his parents to Xinyu's house, and the two families officially met, and everyone talked and laughed at the dinner table, and they were happy.
"Hehe, your son is born, he's terrible now, how dare I offend now, people have a backstage, a very hard backstage"
Xinyu's father made a rare joke about Wang Chao, "This child's company is mainly producing equipment for our army, and the insiders of the military system held a meeting to report, saying that Wang Chao is the object of their secret protection, and the local government should give the green light as long as it involves him and his company, as long as it is in line with the policy, and ask the local government to fully cooperate, how can you say that I dare to criticize him, hahaha"
"Huh?" Wang Chao's father was stunned by these words, and looked at his son in disbelief, "Is this true?" ”
"Hey, Dad, that, I didn't have time to tell you" Wang Chao looked at his father with some embarrassment.
"Ha Lu haha, Wang Chao, you're still embarrassed, okay, don't talk about this, in short, we all know that you are rich now. Okay brother, I salute you, congratulations on giving birth to a good son."
The first time the two families met, it was both warm and satisfying, to Wang Chao's surprise, his father chatted very happily with Zhang Lao, although there was a generation difference in generation, but the age was also more than ten years old, and Zhang Lao also stayed in the countryside when he was young, so the two had more common language.
This meal was eaten for two hours, during which the marriage of next year's Mid-Autumn Festival was finalized, and the wedding banquet was invited to Wang Chao's hometown, Yanjing here to invite familiar friends and relatives, not so grand, after all, Xinyu's parents are there, so as to avoid someone taking advantage of the topic to play and make a mess.
After eating, Wang Chao took his parents away, and at the same time, Xinyu also said that he would play with him for a few days, so he followed him to Duzhou.
"Boy, what your father-in-law said was true at that time?" Halfway through, my father couldn't help but start "interrogating" with the strength of alcohol
"Dad. I don't only have a company under me now, just Xinyu's father is only talking about one of my companies, of course, it is also the most profitable one, by the way, Wang Zheng is now in Yanjing to help me take care of another company. Anyway, I'm really rich now, and you and my mom won't have to work for the rest of your life."
"Son, how did you get all this money?" asked my mother.
"Mom, don't worry, your son's money is earned by himself, not stolen"
"Oh. That's good, no matter how much money or less money you have, you must be upright"......
Send his parents home, let Xinyu chat with his parents, and drive straight to Suo Wencheng's house.
When I saw Suo Wencheng, I almost didn't recognize it, this old man was very thin because of cancer, his face was very bad, and he couldn't walk steadily. This time, he regained the fun, humor and heartiness he had when he first met, and he didn't look sick at all, "Wang Chao, I'm alive again, but I have to thank you for your life-saving benefactor."
"Uncle Suo. What are you polite to me, look at your complexion now, it seems that the United States is very fond of people."
"I'm in Cao Ying, my heart is in Han, and I'm always thinking about you in the United States. This doesn't bring you a gift" said and took out a limited edition Transformer, Wang Chao expressed his gratitude again and again.
The two sat down and made tea, drinking and chatting.
"Wang Chao, after this experience. I have figured it out, in this life, money is inexhaustible, but once in life, you have to cherish it, so this time I came back and prepared to hand over all the company's business to Xinyu to take care of, and I will travel around the world without anything in the future."
"Ah, Uncle Suo, what are you doing here, I'm afraid I won't be able to feed her."
"Hehe, I know that you kid has the ability, let alone feed her, even if there are a few more, I can support her, but I don't think I want to be so busy anymore, and this child is going to marry you, her parents are both Qing officials, and she has a lot of power, but she doesn't have much money in her hands, so I did it for her to be financially independent" After speaking, Ha Lu laughed.
Wang Chao knew that he was really for the sake of Xinyu, so naturally it was not good to say anything, and as soon as the words changed, Suo Wencheng asked Wang Chao,
"I've heard that your kid is doing a good job now, but the antique industry is not an industry after all, and antique dealers don't have much status in society, you still have to do industry, and you can do the kind of industry that is really related to the national economy and people's livelihood, so I'm ready to talk to you when I come back this time."
"Uncle Suo, I think so too, so if you have any good suggestions, just say them"
"Well, I actually want to suggest that you do manufacturing and resource industries, this time I am optimistic about a company in the United States, desalination, hahaha, I didn't expect it"
Seawater desalination refers to the ordinary seawater through various methods of treatment, so as to produce fresh water, is a way to achieve the recycling of water resources, this method was first proposed by Westerners, China began to study after the founding of the People's Republic of China, to the current global seawater desalination daily treatment capacity has reached 40 million tons, to solve the problem of more than 100 million people due to drinking water.
From the point of view of technology, the main flow methods are osmosis method, electrolysis method, flash evaporation method and other means, of which reverse osmosis method is the current mainstream technology, the current domestic desalination device capacity has reached the scale of 500,000 tons per day, but unfortunately due to cost constraints, the price has not come down.
"How about it, are you interested? If I help you get the match, you can buy him, and then use his skills to build a factory in the country to produce, it is said that his cost has reached only 1 yuan per ton of water, not to mention in China, even if it is sent to the country by the world, it is also very low."
"How much do I need to invest?"
"Well, they're a small company at the moment, and they've just developed a process, so the asking price is not high, and you can buy them for $20 million."
"It's really not expensive, I'll think about this project"
"Well, you think about it, if it works, I'll help you pull the strings, but don't delay it too long, otherwise I don't guarantee that it will be snatched away by other companies"
……
Coming out of Suo Wencheng, Wang Chao called Li Zhong while driving, and told him what happened just now, and the other person on the phone didn't speak for a long time, and only said after a long time,
"It's not that simple, it's not something that can be done with just skills, as far as I know. There are already a lot of enterprises in China to engage in this, but in fact it is not ideal, one is the technical problem, the cost is high, resulting in enterprises do not make money, taking Ludong Province as an example, there are enterprises in Ludao City to build a device with a daily output of 50,000 tons, but can not always operate at full capacity, the cost is too high, calculate down a ton of water at least the cost of 5 yuan. Do you want to pay for domestic water now? 4 bucks, how do you say you make money? It's good if you don't lose; Another factor is the positive governance factor, generally engaged in this are state-owned enterprises with a government background, private enterprises to engage in this, if you don't have a way, you dilute the water to sell to water? If you can't connect to the pipeline, how can you use it? You can use water for agriculture and industry, but you have to be close to the factory, close to the countryside. How do you transport it too far? So you have to think about it all and don't just do it when your head is hot."
After listening to Li Zhong's words, he suppressed a lot of enthusiasm just now, it seems that this matter is not so simple. You have to think about it.
In the next few days, Wang Chao temporarily put this down, and accompanied his parents with Xinyu to take a good look in Yanjing, the Forbidden City, the Great Wall... Walked around. Xinyu has been playing the role of a prospective daughter-in-law these days, and it seems that she has completely dissolved into the family.
On this day, Wang Chao took his parents to the courtyard of Heqi Lake, and the two old men immediately liked it. "It's a good place, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with water in the middle, and a treasure of feng shui."
When they came to the courtyard again, the two old people were stunned here, it became a huge construction site, the yard, the room, and even the wall were full of people, it turned out that Chen Jingxuan was taking people to decorate here, seeing Wang Chao came up to say hello, after hearing that Wang Chao brought his parents to see, he came over and greeted Wang Chao's parents, and then took them to introduce them from place to place, it took more than half an hour to finish a circle, and both parents were very satisfied, "You stinky boy, you bought such a big yard and didn't say a word to us in advance, How much does it cost to be so big?" asked my mother
"Hehe, you were busy at home at the time, so I didn't have time to say, no matter how much it cost, as long as you live comfortably. How about parents, you can move here next year after the decoration is completed, and I want to take my sister's family over to live, and my brother-in-law will also find him something to do, and if he wants to do things himself, I will also help him. In addition, Uncle Wang's side, because Wang Zheng may be here in Yanjing for a long time in the future, so I want to invite them over as well."
"Let's talk about next year, it's really good here, but your mother and I are not old, we can still move, and I want to plant the land at home for a few more years." Your sister, you can talk to them directly, as for your Uncle Wang's side, I guess he is also choked enough to come, he's even more of an idle person."
Seeing that his parents kept shaking their heads, Wang Chao didn't continue to persuade him, glanced at Xinyu, and secretly wondered in his heart: Hehe, if you give birth to a big fat grandson, can you take care of it?
Xinyu seemed to know what Wang Chao was talking about, her face flushed, and she lowered her head shyly.
After a turn, Wang Chao took his parents to the master again, and this morning he had already said a word in advance, and on the way there, he briefly told his parents about his apprenticeship.
When he arrived at the master, Li Lao was very happy, holding Wang Chao's father's hand, thanking him for cultivating a master for Xingyimen and the martial arts world, and during the meal, Wang Chao's father actually broke the news that surprised Wang Chao: The old man also practiced when he was a child, but he practiced the Three Emperors Cannon Hammer, and he was a disciple of a person in the village, and he did not apprentice.
When the wine was drunk, the two old men actually left the table and walked a few tricks in the house, which made Wang Chao and Xinyu's eyes fall to the ground.
When he got home at night, Wang Chao's father was very happy, saying that his unfulfilled wish when he was young was actually fulfilled by his son, and he turned around and fell asleep with a muttering mouth.
After a few days of wandering, the parents felt a little tired, and they didn't go out this day, Wang Chao said to his parents, and then drove straight to Xinyu's house, and said last night that he was going to visit Xinyu's father, saying that he had something to talk about.
When I got home, Xinyu's father was waiting, "Your parents are okay these days, not to mention staying at home, what's the matter?" ”
"Hehe, uncle, I really came here this time, Uncle Suo came back from the United States, he is optimistic about a company engaged in desalination, and wants me to buy it, no, I just want to hear your opinion"
"Desalination? This old rope can really toss, and he fell in love with this again. There are a lot of domestic people who do this, the most famous should be MCC, they are professional in this, but the cost of this thing is the biggest problem, as far as I know, the treatment cost of domestic desalination is not less than 3 yuan per ton, although this price is cheaper than tap water, but it is not very profitable, and access to the official website of urban tap water is a problem, in addition, it is generally more in coastal cities and islands, the farther away from the sea, the higher the cost investment, to say anything else, the water pipeline alone is not something that ordinary people can invest in." Xinyu's father frowned and told Wang Chao that since Wang Chao was already half of his son, although the two were not married yet, they were also very soon, so what he said was from his heart.
Wang Chao listened for a long time and didn't speak
"Well, you also know that the South-to-North Water Diversion Project has entered Beijing, and I won't tell you that the water has arrived in Yanjing, and the cost is almost 3 yuan, but there is no way, this is also lower than the cost of seawater desalination, so even if there is a lot of loss after more than 1,000 kilometers, the country still has to do this, this is not only a Zhengfu project, but also a Zhengzhi project, not seawater desalination can be solved" He continued after groaning, "If you can lower the cost than this, I can help you push it, but you better not hang yourself on the legal person of the company, Otherwise, it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble."
"Uncle Suo said that the cost of that house can be controlled at 1 yuan, so I calculated, in addition to the pipeline investment and factory construction costs, it can still be done, after all, this is a long-term project, and I don't want it to produce any benefits in the short term."
"Well, if you think it's okay, you can get in touch with them first, and you also have to calculate all the costs such as pipeline investment and factory construction, which adds up to how much investment is needed."
"Okay, then I'll take a good look at it this time."
After Wang Chao left, he went straight to the company, which was his own consulting company, which asked people to calculate the investment cost of desalination.
After two more days, my parents started homesick, and although everything was very high here, there were still crops to be harvested in the family's fields, and it was time to harvest, and if they didn't go back, they would be pecked by the sparrows.
Seeing that his parents' hearts had flown away, Wang Chao didn't persuade him again, but he was really busy in the past two days, and when he went to consult the company's affairs that day, he brought back a stack of reports, and he couldn't leave, so he asked Zhao Dahai to send his parents back.
