Chapter Seventy-One: Shi Shaoying, you have to be humble
Squinted his eyes stood up from the raft, walked in front of Shi Shaoying, and said indifferently: "Boss, don't you want to know more detailed information about this 'fountain in the sea', I know a little bit about it, I don't know if Boss Shi is willing to listen to my nonsense?" ”
Shi Shaoying's face showed a smile and a smile, squinting at this businessman who only pays attention to contracts and never believes in brotherhood, is now an outlier in everyone's eyes, even Huahu is desperately glancing at him, but squinting eyes still stick to the position of a businessman, but no matter what, if he wants to pass the test, he has to show some real goods to prove to Shi Shaoying that he is definitely worth the money as a "contract worker".
"In fact, the fountains in the sea are far more than the few places that the deputy head of the Kai Belin said, take our country as an example, dozens of fountains in the sea have been found in the coastal area, there is a small island called Laiyu in the east and west of the Gulei Peninsula in southern Fujian, there is a similar freshwater area near it, which is called the 'Yuquan Belt', there are beaches on Hengqin Island at the mouth of the Pearl River and other places, and more than 200 fountains in the sea similar to this have been found in the United States."
"Oh."
Shi Shaoying nodded quietly, his meaning is obvious, you squint and want to get through like this, it's not enough to be qualified.
"Well, now the world is in a water shortage, some people have long begun to study, how to turn seawater into fresh water, seawater desalination is one of the methods, but in general, the cost is too high, if you want to popularize the use of a large area, you must make the desalination process simpler and more efficient, and now human science and technology has not reached that level. Later, some scientists said that if you want to ask for fresh water from the ocean, physical and chemical methods are not necessarily the inevitable methods, and in some parts of the ocean, in fact, there is a large amount of fresh water, and the proportion of them in the ocean is even as high as 20%! ”
Shi Shaoying finally began to be impressed, if 20% of the ocean is freshwater that can be directly drunk, as long as a way is found, it must be the most valuable wealth of mankind. At the very least, when they were pirates, they were beaten in the middle of the sea, and they had to flee on rafts to escape for their lives, as they do today, and their chances of survival would be greater.
Even if you can't find fresh water at any time, listening to it as a science program that is really wonderful in the world is quite interesting and can improve personal knowledge.
"Some oceanographers, after a long period of research, have long discovered that there is a large amount of fresh water in the bottom bed of the ocean, which is called 'hidden freshwater resources', which are not stationary at the bottom of the sea, but continue to emerge from the cracks in the rocks of the seabed under pressure. Scientists have theorized that this natural freshwater source is produced by the salting out of the seabed rock strata under high pressure of seawater, and when they gush out of the pores, because the density is smaller than that of seawater, they will not mix with seawater, and will eventually surface to form the freshwater area in front of us. Of course, if the seabed is too far from the surface, the freshwater will not rise to the surface, but will appear at different heights in the sea as an 'undercurrent'. ”
After the popular science was over, the squinted eyes closed their mouths again.
But Shi Shaoying had a problem, "If I'm not mistaken, you are an expert in fraud, and your major is too far from this freshwater project, I really want to treat you as an oceanographer." ”
"If you want to become a counterfeiting expert, you must first become a polymath."
Squinting his eyes and nose, he replied calmly: "Take the fraud of cultural relics as an example, looking at the whole of China, there are millions of people engaged in this industry, but no matter how exquisite the things they make, the vast majority of them will immediately appear in the eyes of experts." It's not that their handiwork is bad, but that they don't have a good understanding of the age of the counterfeit products, such as the level of craftsmanship, cultural tendencies, social structure, product applicability, and other subtleties, so that the experts see the problem. For example, if you want to forge the porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, draw a dragon on it, the dragon must be full of murderous spirit with teeth and claws, the temperament shown by this dragon is that the Ming Dynasty will never cut the land in the face of the invaders and will not pay compensation, even if the emperor is taken away, he will never bow his head, if the counterfeiter uses the dragon painting process inherited from the Qing Dynasty, it is obviously a lot more elegant, although the two are very different, but in the eyes of experts are not vulnerable at all. ”
If you want to make a "super high imitation" that even experts can't see the authenticity, you must have richer archaeological knowledge than those identification experts, or without these two brushes, how can the ancient jade chair of the Han Dynasty imitated by squint eyes be auctioned for hundreds of millions of sky-high prices, and finally force him to die?
"When you go to Somalia and you find that the surrounding countries are suffering from drought, and the price of water is almost comparable to that of oil, you want to become a billionaire by getting fresh water out of the sea, so you know this kind of knowledge very well, right?"
Smart people don't need to turn around to talk, Shi Shaoying broke the hole card of the slanted eye with a word, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the freshwater area beside him, "We have found the freshwater in the sea that you want the most, this is an opportunity for you, if you want, I can terminate the contract with you after returning to Eller City and let you go free." ”
Even if he was an old man with squinted eyes, he couldn't help but shake his body slightly when he heard these words, he stared at Shi Shaoying without blinking, as if he wanted to see through Shi Shaoying's true thoughts, "Really? ”
"Gain a powerful ally with a show of effort, forcibly bind a disgruntled and half-hearted partner with a contract, and change your squint to you, what will you do in the face of this multiple-choice question?"
Squinted and thought for a long time, and suddenly bowed to Shi Shaoying: "Thank you, admire, it's a pity." ”
The squint is to thank Shi Shaoying for taking the initiative to terminate the contract at this time, and he admires Shi Shaoying's mind that he can know the economic value of the fountain in the sea of eyes but does not care about it, and what he said in the end "It's a pity" is to sigh that the actual use value of this piece of fresh water is not large.
There are at least 100 kilometers away from the coastline, the area of fresh water is only a dozen meters, the output of fresh water is too low, it is not worth erecting an intrasea transmission pipeline, and the distance is too far, even if it is loaded by boat, I am afraid that the final income will not be worth the fuel consumption back and forth.
This fountain in the sea is a chicken rib, and its greatest use is to let Shi Shaoying and other survivors who have lost their ships pass by, and replenish fresh water. Only people with squinted eyes who have enough knowledge and an active mind can calculate the gains and losses in the shortest time and make the right choice.
"That's a shame." Shi Shaoying smiled calmly, "Then squint, you can continue to be a 'contract' brother with me, and when you find a suitable investment project, tell me about it, maybe I will take the initiative to inject capital and become a partner in your business." ”
Squinted at Shi Shaoying and looked at it a few more times, and after making sure that Shi Shaoying was not joking, he responded seriously: "You are not a good businessman, if you are allowed to do business alone, you will lose 100% of everything, but you will be a trustworthy investor." In the future, I really have a good investment project and I can cooperate, but I have to take the lion's lead. ”
Shi Shaoying nodded, "No problem, if your project needs security, especially maritime security guards, you can find us, for the sake of everyone being in the same spirit, I can give you a 20% discount, if you are willing to establish a long-term cooperative relationship, you can also take a part of the shares, which can be regarded as our entire team to invest in your project......"
When Shi Shaoying mentioned the words "maritime security guard", the squinted eyes suddenly moved slightly, he raised a palm at Shi Shaoying, unceremoniously interrupted Shi Shaoying's words, and then blocked his ears with both hands, and sat on the raft and didn't know what nerves began to develop there.
Huahu is still aware of his uncle's various quirks, he explains: "My uncle seems to have some inspiration, and now he has started to think about ideas to make money. Let's ignore him, and when he figures it out and thinks about it, he will return to normal. ”
Shi Shaoying looked at the squint that he closed his eyes and gambled on his ears, and he really didn't care about the outside world and completely entered the inner world, "So, your uncle will soon become a billionaire?" ”
"Birds!" Huahu waved his hand, "If he can become a billionaire in a flash, then we still have to nest in that hellish place in Bossaso?" My uncle has to make at least seven or eight such nerves a year, and the money-making ideas he comes up with can make people laugh and cry without dying, and in the end, his old man became a billionaire, and the private money I managed to save was scavenged cleanly, and I wondered, how could my uncle find out where I hid the money. ”
Shi Shaoying shook his head indifferently, in this era of information explosion, everyone is dreaming of making a fortune, and conventional channels have already been beaten everywhere, maybe it is a way to make people cry and laugh and go off the rails to the limit, so that they can avoid too fierce shopping mall fights, quickly accumulate wealth in a short period of time, and step into the door of billionaires.
Take this fountain in the sea as an example, if it weren't for seeing it with his own eyes, Squint suddenly found him Shi Shaoying and asked him to invest in this project, even if Slanted Eye held a lot of information in his hand, proving to him that there is no shortage of such fountains in the world, and all the data on the project feasibility report were all out of the blue, Shi Shaoying would definitely ignore it, just as Slanting Eye was intermittently crazy.
People always like to use their limited knowledge to judge the reality of the world, and then make self-righteous conclusions, which is a common problem that is absolutely not an advantage.
The more people stand taller, the more humble they are, in essence, because the higher they stand, the more they will find their own shortcomings and begin to learn to make up for them with humility.
Shi Shaoying suddenly said to Hua Hu, "The first thing you do when you see me every day in the future is to say to me three times, 'Shi Shaoying, you have to be humble', have you remembered?!" ”
Flower Fox's mouth opened into a big "O" shape, and because he was too shocked and surprised, he let out an unconscious sigh from his wide-open mouth: "Huh?!" ”
