Chapter 369: A Strange Prosecution Case

"It's incredible."

Standing at the top of the Yuanying International Group Building, Soyal looked at the desalination platform through the sightseeing binoculars, and the corners of his mouth were almost closed.

Originally, he planned to send his secretary to make a trip, but out of the importance of the project, he flew it himself.

"We'll see a lot of similar comments in the newspaper tomorrow," Xu Yuan said with a smile standing next to him, "so we might as well talk about something more interesting." ”

"How much are you going to sell this platform?" Soyal's eyes seemed to be glued to the telescope, and he asked without looking back.

"We don't sell." Xu Yuan shook his head.

Soyal was stunned, his eyes finally moved away from the binoculars, and he looked back at Xu Yuan in confusion.

"Didn't we say yes?" Xu Yuan smiled, "We supply you with fresh water at a price of $1 per ton. ”

Compared with a hammer deal, Xu Yuan prefers a long-term business.

And if it masters the Arab fresh water supply market, Yuanying International Group will gain more than just benefits on paper.

No one can live without fresh water, especially those in the desert.

When Yuanying International Group gradually squeezes out other desalination plants with cheaper desalination water, Yuanying International Group, which controls the desalination platform, will be equivalent to mastering the lifeblood of these water-scarce countries.

At that time, all desert countries will be inseparable from the fresh water of the Source Shadow International Group, and it is at that time that they will be the first to look forward to the Source Shadow International Group!

After some haggling, Soyal finally reluctantly accepted Xu Yuan's proposal.

The two returned to the building, Xu Yuan took him to his office, and at the same time, Nie Shuying also put the prepared agreement on Xu Yuan's desk.

No one wants drinking water to be controlled by others, but there is no way, the price offered by Yuanying International Group is too tempting!

At present, the average cost of desalination in Arabia is US$1.6 per tonne, which is also due to the fact that they are large oil producers and the cost of thermal power generation is very low.

According to the agreement reached between the two, Yuanying International Group will cooperate with the Blue Sand Desalination Company controlled by the royal family.

The desalination platform produced by Yuanying International Heavy Industries will be anchored near the sea area and laid on the seabed water pipeline, which will be completed by the royal family.

Xu Yuan was responsible for turning on the faucet, and Akeru was dragging a pipe to pick up the water, pumping the desalinated water into the reservoir and paying Yuanying International Group at a price of $1 per party.

Theoretically, as long as the seawater collection unit around the platform is added, as well as the seawater desalination module on the platform, the desalination efficiency of a single platform can reach a terrifying number of 5 million tons per day!

However, the terrifying throughput of water resources naturally means terrifying energy consumption.

But it doesn't matter, next to the platform is next to the port of Arabia, which is an oil tyrant, and the cost of fuel is very cheap!

Akeru promised Xu Yuan that it would deliver relatively cheap natural gas and fuel oil to offshore platforms.

According to the agreement reached between the two parties to supply 2 million tons of desalinated water per day, the price of fresh water per ton can be compressed to an ultra-low price of US$0.31.

If this currency unit is converted into RMB, it is almost the cost of tap water treatment, which shows how low the cost is.

At that time, this offshore platform will bring $1.5 million in daily revenue to Yuanying International Group, which is more than $600 million in a year!

The royal family will save at least $600 million in the budget for the subsidy policy for domestic fresh water supply.

At the same time, the project of a new energy desalination base originally planned to be built along the coast will be cancelled, which will also save it $2 billion in engineering investment.

With that contract in hand, Akrou happily boarded the private jet and couldn't wait to return to Arabia.

He was looking forward to the look on his father's face.

When his brother rushed to bring in the American Wind Array Company, negotiated a $1.5 billion purification cost of equipment, and was ready to pay for the project for $1.5 billion, he quietly got a $1 per ton water supply contract from overseas.

He knew very well how much his father saw the desalination project.

No matter how ecstatic Akeru on the plane was, Xu Yuan had just returned to the Yuanying International Building, and the desalination platform on the east coast had completed the docking with the WT Group's pipeline and started trial operation.

When cheap fresh water filled WT Group's reservoirs, WT Group immediately implemented the document issued by Qatar** and lowered the water price.

On the basis of the original price, the water price in Qatar has been cut in half!

The news spread throughout the country through television, media and newspapers, as well as the Internet.

[The first desalination platform of Yuanying International Heavy Industry was completed, and WT Group announced a 50% reduction in water prices, and will continue to reduce the price by 17% next month on the basis of the reduced water prices]

[Xu Yuan, chairman of Yuanying International Group, announced that the price of water in Qatar should return to rationality, and everyone in Qatar can drink cheap fresh water! 】

[It is reported that the fresh water output of the desalination platform will meet the drinking water standard......]

"Oh my God! The price of tap water has actually dropped! ”

"Two days ago, our family was thinking about wholesale some plastic buckets in the supermarket, and if it is so expensive, we can only purify the rainwater ourselves, thank God, the price has finally been reduced!"

"See that desalination platform? It says Source Shadow International Heavy Industries! ”

"Praise Xu Yuan!"

The whole country is in a carnival of freshwater price cuts!

According to WT Group's statistics, the water consumption on the day of the price reduction surged by 35% compared with the previous day, and it gradually returned to rationality after a week.

At the same time, the desalination technology launched by Yuanying International Heavy Industry has also attracted the attention of the world.

Not so much because of how cheap the fresh water it produces and how efficient it is, but because of the cool way the offshore platform unfolds, which is so impressive.

Someone filmed that scene and uploaded it to YouTube and other video sites.

On the first day of uploading, the number of clicks on the video exceeded one million!

Netizens around the world swiped their screens in the comment section, and half of them were asking the person who uploaded the video which sci-fi film he had taken the clip from.

And many informed netizens are constantly clarifying: "Where is this Nima a science fiction film?" Have you seen the big words of 'Source Shadow International Heavy Industries' on it clearly? It doesn't matter if you don't know each other, call your little jade over at home! ”

The London Post was the first to report on the matter, and then the New York Times, the Los Angeles Daily and other major media outlets reprinted it.

In an interview with a television evening talk show, the well-known news journalist Wundt described the situation in an exaggerated tone.

"It's incredible, have you seen Transformers? Of course, it's not that I saw Transformers, but that video that went viral! You can't imagine the look on my face at that time......"

Compared with the turmoil on the Internet, after the first few days of carnival, public opinion in Qatar has returned to calm.

There has been good news from the Arab side, the king is very satisfied with the contract signed by Akru and the Source Shadow International Group, and welcomes the high-tech enterprise of the Source Shadow International Group.

At present, Yuanying International Heavy Industries has already started the production of parts for the second desalination platform, and the parts to be produced will be shipped to Arabia by ocean company ships.

It is expected that the production of all parts and components will be completed by the end of the month, when the engineering vessel of Yuanying International Group will go to the Arabian Sea to complete the assembly of the desalination platform.

Compared to the one deployed east of the Lucas Islands, the desalination platform built by Future Heavy Industries for Arabia has a higher production capacity.

In order to supervise production, Xu Yuan personally went to the high-tech park and found the director of Yuanying International Heavy Industry who was responsible for the production of this piece.

"This project will be used as a model project of Yuanying International Heavy Industry in the field of seawater desalination, I ask you, be sure to pay close attention to the quality of the project, even a screw can not give me a mistake!"

"Yes! Boss! The factory director shouted with a red neck.

Patting him on the shoulder, Xu Yuan motioned for him to return to his post.

Just when Xu Yuan was about to take a turn in the factory and inspect the production of the production line, the phone in his pocket rang.

When I felt it out, it was Nie Shuying.

"What's the matter?" Xu Yuan asked on the phone.

"The Whales International Marine Conservation Society issued an announcement on its official website, claiming that our marine resource development activities in the Pacific Ocean have seriously damaged the local ecological balance, and sent a lawyer's letter to our group, hoping that we will stop the damage to the marine ecological environment."

Hearing Nie Shuying's words, Xu Yuan was stunned.

Destroying the ecological environment?

What bullshit jokes?

"In the country of Qatar, sue us?" Xu Yuan thought he had heard it wrong, so he asked again.

If he sues in Qatar, he has a hundred ways to make the whale International Marine Conservation lose the case.

Sue him on his turf, isn't it uncomfortable to find it!

"They are directly suing the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, of course, we can also refuse to respond to the lawsuit, but this will have an impact on our international reputation, and they wrote in the lawyer's letter that they reserve the right to organize protests, in short, it is a headache to be entangled by this kind of public welfare organization......" Nie Shuying's voice was very helpless.

"I'll go back to the group right away and talk about it later." Xu Yuan hung up the phone and walked briskly outside the factory.

Unlike the International Court of Justice, the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea can hear cases not only between States, but also between States and politicians and even individuals.

However, such borderless tribunals are often not very binding and are often set aside by States.

Source Shadow International Group and many companies have been sued, but this is the first time it has been sued by a non-profit organization.

Xu Yuan logged on to the official website of the International Society for the Protection of the Sea with his mobile phone, only to see the big promotional poster hanging on the homepage.

Beneath the depths of the sea, a blade-like fan blade and a bloody whale with a line at the bottom: Please stop hurting our friends!

However, what makes Xu Yuan cry and laugh is that any project involving the development of marine resources, from the offshore mining unit to the construction of Neverland, will be accompanied by sonar to drive away fish.

This condemnation, which has no factual arguments in the whole article, is nothing but slander!

As soon as he returned to the company, Xu Yuan immediately went to Nie Shuying's office.

"Actively respond to the lawsuit, and send our lawyers to sue them for false accusations in the district court, and demand that they compensate us for our financial losses!"

"Also, to find out who is behind them, I want to see who instructed them!"

Killing Xu Yuan didn't believe that the behavior of this "whale" was spontaneous, and it was for some inexplicable protection of the ecological environment.

The branch of Source Technology is in Los Angeles, and the relationship with the district court is quite "harmonious".

As long as the public relations are done well, Xu Yuan believes that it should not be difficult to win the lawsuit.
