Chapter 252: The Desire for Freshwater Resources
After tasting a few glasses of water separated from the chemical solution, Hamdan's anticipation for this trip immediately turned into impatience.
If this desalination system is introduced on a large scale and is widely used in Dubai and the UAE as a whole, the problem of fresh water scarcity will no longer exist, and one of the important physical and geographical factors restricting the take-off of the local economy will disappear.
Fresh water can be said to be one of the core foundations of economic development, with sufficient fresh water resources, even if Dubai's population has skyrocketed to 10 million, it is not afraid of insufficient water for residents.
The impact is multifaceted, with seawater not being used directly for agricultural irrigation, and with abundant freshwater resources, local agricultural economies can take off.
Because there are many minerals in seawater, construction machinery will have a chemical reaction with the minerals in seawater, so there is no shortage of industrial water, which can bring a solid foundation for local industrial development.
There are also desert and forest reforestation to expand the desert oasis, change the harsh living environment, and get more living space......
There are so many beneficial changes brought about by this technology, and it also reflects the enormity of the impact of this technology, and it is not surprising that Hamdan is so impatient.
He now only thinks about being able to introduce the equipment on a large scale as soon as possible, money is definitely not a problem, although this will lead to more dependence on the Chinese people in the future, but Hamdan knows very well that whether it is Dubai or the entire United Arab Emirates, it is only a small country, and only world-class powers like China and the United States are qualified to be completely independent, and the small country itself is destined to be extremely dependent on others in order to live a better life.
In a way, it can be regarded as paying protection money.
After watching the prototype, Ye Hua led everyone out of the laboratory and came to the company's VIP lounge to entertain Pound, Hamdan and others.
In the living room, Ye Hua was in the main seat, Pound and several people sat on his left side, and Hamdan and Shanna were on his right side.
"Mr. Ye, when will your company be able to supply this desalination plant to Dubai? I hope the sooner the better! Hamdan was the first to speak bluntly as soon as he sat down, and he seemed eager and unabashed.
The large-scale application of this desalination system in Dubai and even the United Arab Emirates will usher in a booming economy in the foreseeable future, which he has been strongly promoting, and has also endured a lot of internal pressure, and now he seems to see that after returning, he will be regarded as a hero by his own people, because he has solved the dilemma of the country's freshwater resources.
The skyrocketing prestige value is not only the unbreakable position of the heir to the Dubai royal family, but also the future of leading the entire UAE.
"This technology has been studied by our company for several years......," Ye Hua said calmly without blushing and heartbeat, well, the coastline company has only been established for a few years? Then he continued to say calmly: "As early as half a year ago, we were able to overcome all the technical problems, and now we have the ability to apply it on a large scale. ”
Speaking of this, Ye Hua stopped, in fact, there was another sentence he didn't say, but Hamdan heard it, everything was done, and he waited for the customer to place an order.
Hamdan was relieved and more excited, the harvest of this trip was beyond his expectations, he thought it would not be so fast, but he didn't expect it to be faster and more reliable than he expected, and he could only give a thumbs up to Huaxia's efficiency.
He immediately asked: "Mr. Ye, I hope to introduce your company's equipment to double Dubai's fresh water demand, how soon can you achieve this goal, and how much will it cost?" ”
Pang De on the side also secretly smacked his lips when he heard his words, and Ye Hua was also stunned.
Dubai's water consumption last year was 8~900 million cubic meters of water, doubling the average of 1.7 billion cubic meters of water.
The world-class metropolis of Shangdu has a huge population of more than 25 million and consumes less than 4 billion cubic meters of water a year. Dubai, a city with a population of more than 3 million, is still in a desert city, and consumes nearly 1 billion cubic meters every year.
There is a shortage of water, but the water consumption is larger than that of China and even the United States, what can be said except that the local tyrants are rich and capricious.
Dubai has become a world-famous tyrant city in just over 20 years, there is no fresh water here, but everyone is "rich and capricious" beeping water, usually buy and buy at every turn, and build buildings without ambiguity, but behind the rich and willful squandering, the landlord's surplus food is actually not much, and there is always a time to run out.
Although Dubai is trenched, there is still a gap between it and a giant trench dog like Sate, and the royal family of Sate has more than 800 billion US dollars to take out at any time, and the more than 800 billion yuan is not GDP, but the real existence in the small treasury, which is the real trench inhumanity.
Ye Hua also estimated in his heart that Hamdan wants to double Dubai's water consumption, which is a multi-billion dollar super order, not to mention Dubai, Abu Dhabi doesn't want it? Don't you want the whole of the UAE? That UAE alone can make a fat order of more than 10 billion US dollars.
And Saudi Arabia, and Yiser, the whole Middle East, the whole world...... It's cool to think about.
Putting away this thought full of small money, Ye Hua looked at Hamdan and said seriously: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, supply is not a problem, but the operation of the desalination water plant and its engineering equipment must be controlled by the people of our company. ”
Pound nodded secretly when he heard this, and couldn't help but cast an approving look at Ye Hua, and did not forget to seek benefits for the country at the critical moment, this is a truly excellent national entrepreneur.
In fact, it doesn't matter if the desalination plant is handed over to the people of Dubai, the core technology is carbon nanotube composite membrane, and the coastline company absolutely monopolizes the technology and pinchs the source of composite membrane supply.
But Ye Hua's request is an attitude, and it is also a trick, deliberately covering an unimportant thing to death, and at the same time, he is also fighting for more voice for his country.
Dubai's desalination water plant is managed by the Chinese people, which is equivalent to pinching the lifeblood of Dubai people and even the entire UAE in the future, and when the time comes, they will inevitably worry that the supply of water of life will be cut off at a critical moment, and Hamdan's mentality will inevitably gradually move towards pro-China and distancing the United States.
When the U.S. imperialists were fighting with the locals in the Middle East, the UAE was behind the scenes to help fight together, and it was definitely a first-class horse boy belonging to the West.
And now Hamdan has clearly lost interest in the West and has turned to the East.
"Just double the water consumption in Dubai, that's the only thing I ask Mr. Ye." Hamdan reiterates it succinctly.
"His Royal Highness the Prince is really a resolute person, there is nothing to say, you are the first customer service object of our company's technology." Ye Hua also said cheerfully, Hamdan has said to this point, this sincerity is really impossible to find fault anymore, this is equivalent to taking the initiative to willingly put the lifeblood of the throat in your hands, this sincerity and decisiveness If you don't make a decision on the spot, it will be really chilling.
As the so-called exchange of courtesies, Ye Hua happened to look at Princess Shana, who was quiet next to Hamdan but was dressed in a red dress and couldn't ignore its existence, and after thinking about it, his heart moved, and he turned to look at Hamdan, and said with a hearty smile:
"The total amount of this contract is discounted, only Dubai, United Arab Emirates enjoys this treatment, including future purchases, which are converted according to this wisp, permanently, as a gift to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Pound was slightly stunned, he didn't treat money as money, as soon as he said this, it was equivalent to tens of billions of soft sister coins and gave it away at one time, and the future purchases were eighty-five percent off, is this meeting gift a little heavier?
It's good that this guy just said UAE Dubai, not UAE.
However, Pound soon understood that Hamdan was the first to eat the crab, and it was still necessary to show the world this cooperation and solid friendship, well, mainly to show the friends in the Middle East that sincerity.
There is really no absolutely free lunch in the world, but this guy is really a good person, flirting with girls and business.
