Three days later, the Saudi Arabian royal family negotiators finally arrived in Hong Kong, and the Star Group officially began negotiations with them to provide desalination services.

In King Abdullah's imagination, the Star Group would have demanded a high price for fresh water. Because he knows that the cost of seawater desalination itself is very high, and the Star Group has to make a little money, so the price of this fresh water will definitely not be too low. But when his negotiators reported the Star Group's offer to him, he couldn't believe his eyes. Regardless of the fact that his body was already very tired, he just took the quotation to find Liu Hui, and then put the quotation on Liu Hui's desk.

"Mr. Liu Hui, please explain, why is there such a price?" Abdullah asked, a little angry.

Liu Hui looked at the quotation on the table and said with a smile: "Dear Your Majesty, what's wrong with you, who made you angry?" This is the price we quoted you, is there any problem? ”

Abdullah said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Liu Hui, please don't perfunctory us, do you think I'm still a child?" Your negotiator's offer is $0.08 per ton of fresh water, which translates to only five cents in your currency. ”

Liu Hui nodded and said: "Yes, the price of one ton of fresh water for us is our five cents, is there any problem with this?" ”

Abdullah stared at Liu Hui tightly, and when he saw that he didn't look like a joke, he said suspiciously: "Mr. Liu Hui, do you know how much a ton of fresh water production costs now?" ”

Liu Hui smiled: "Of course I know this, as far as I know, the freshwater production cost of your largest freshwater production plant in China is 0.69 US dollars a ton, and the transportation cost is 0.3 US dollars a ton, this figure should be correct, right?" ”

Abdullah said: "You must know that the desalination technology used by our company is already the world's leading technology, but even so, it costs $0.69 for every ton of fresh water they produce, and you actually quote $0.08 a tonne." Not to mention your production costs, can you still make money at $0.08 a ton of fresh water? ”

Liu Hui said with a smile: "It turns out that His Majesty the Respected King is afraid that we won't be able to make money, and we are worthy of being a good friend of our Star Group!" But you can rest assured that our Star Group has the latest seawater desalination technology, so our fresh water production cost is very low, even if fresh water is only sold for 0.08 US dollars a ton, we have a profit, but we make a little less. Of course, this is mainly because you are a good friend of our Star Group, which is why we give you this great price. ”

Abdullah saw that Liu Hui was very calm, not as if he was joking, and he immediately asked, "So how many tons of fresh water can you provide us with every day?" ”

Liu Hui smiled: "We can provide as much as you want." ”

Abdullah said: "Can you provide four million tons of fresh water a day?" The four million tons of fresh water per day is the total production capacity of the current desalination plants in Saudi Arabia, which is why he asked for this number.

Liu Hui said with a smile: "We can provide you with 5 million tons of fresh water every day now, 20 million tons of fresh water per day in a month, and more than 100 million tons of fresh water per day in half a year." After a year, you can have as much fresh water as you want. Even if you want to turn your entire country into fertile land, I can provide enough fresh water. ”

When Abdullah heard Liu Hui's words, his heart was very shocked, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Are you sure you didn't lie to me, do you really have such a powerful seawater desalination ability?" ”

Liu Hui smiled and said, "His Majesty the King is an elder I respect, not to mention that we are still good friends, how could I deceive you?" We can all mark these words on the contract, and if we can't meet this requirement by then, you can ask our company to compensate us. ”

Seeing Liu Hui say this, Abdullah knew that Liu Hui was not joking with him, after all, what was written in black and white on the contract, and the Star Group had no way to deny it. Although Star Group has no previous experience in seawater desalination engineering, who can say that Star Group does not have this technology? After Star Group dominated the world's pharmaceutical market, it suddenly launched thermal insulation cold stockings (underwear) and super delicacies that have nothing to do with the pharmaceutical market.

So although Abdullah is a ninety-year-old man, he is also willing to gamble at this time. If this situation is true, then Saudi Arabia has solved the problem of water shortage, which is a headache for all people, and even if it fails, it will not lose much. Of course, there is also the reason for the temptation of Star Group's rejuvenation surgery.

"Mr. Liu Hui, our country is extremely short of water, so although we used to produce 400 tons of fresh water per day, it could not solve our water shortage problem at all. If the price of your water is really so cheap, and you can guarantee a sufficient quantity, we can sign this cooperation contract with you. But the amount of fresh water that our country needs every day will not be less than 100 million tons in the future, will you really be able to meet our needs in half a year? Abdullah asked.

Liu Hui consulted Chen Changsheng before, and knew that it would actually take less than 15 days to convert a 100,000-ton cargo ship into a seawater desalination plant, plus the time for equipment adjustment and trial operation, the whole time would definitely not exceed one month, and the shipyard of the Star Group could transform four medium-sized seawater desalination plants of 100,000 tons at the same time within a month. The desalination ship that Star Group had previously renovated did not carry out desalination work, it was only modified and moored in the sea near Starry Sky City. That's why Liu Hui dared to say that the amount of fresh water provided in a month was 20 million tons, and after half a year, it would definitely be able to provide more than 100 million tons of fresh water every day, and a year later, there would be a lot of fresh water.

"Your Majesty, you can rest assured that our Star Group can guarantee to provide you with more than 100 million tons of fresh water every day after half a year." Liu Hui said affirmatively.

Abdullah suddenly asked with some doubts: "Mr. Liu Hui, why did I suddenly feel like I had picked up gold, I couldn't be dreaming, right?" Or do you have other requirements for our country? ”

Liu Hui naturally knew what Abdullah meant, and his country suddenly got super cheap fresh water, which was much cheaper than pumping groundwater from the ground. Moreover, the amount of fresh water that can be supplied every day is very huge, which can fully meet the water needs of his country in all aspects, and suddenly his country is out of the dilemma of water shortage. How does this not make Abdullah suspect that he is dreaming? He even suspected that Liu Hui had a conspiracy to do so, and he definitely wanted to get some benefits in terms of oil.

Although Liu Hui is interested in the oil resources of Abdullah country, he does not dare to touch this big cake now. After all, the oil giants in this world have developed to a very powerful point, and oil security is also related to the strategic security of many countries, so if he moves those giants or the country's oil cake, then those people will definitely unite to suppress the Star Group and no longer give the Star Group a chance to develop and grow, so Liu Hui really didn't dare to engage in the oil industry when he didn't have enough strength.

Understanding Abdullah's mood, Liu Hui smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are not dreaming, and our Star Group will not make any special requirements for you in other aspects. Our desalination project is carried out in accordance with normal market procedures, we stand on the same starting line with other desalination companies, we compete together, we abide by the rules and regulations of your country, and will not ask for any other privileges. ”

As soon as Abdullah heard Liu Hui's words, he finally put his mind at ease, no matter what, as long as the Star Group didn't get any privileges from him, then there would be no loss for him at all. However, when it comes to this competitive issue, with the ultra-low price of only $0.08 per ton of fresh water of Star Group, those other desalination companies should have no way to survive, but what does this matter to themselves? Got the benefit from it yourself, didn't you?

"Mr. Liu Hui, since this is the case, let our negotiators continue their negotiations! I also hope to complete this negotiation sooner rather than later, so that the rejuvenation surgery you mentioned can be carried out! King Abdullah said with a smile.

"Officially, Your Majesty the King," Liu Hui said with a smile.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Since the two bosses have reached a consensus on the big aspects, the negotiation progress of the negotiators below is much faster. Two days later, the contract between Star Group and Saudi Arabia for the desalination project was officially signed. The signing ceremony between them was very simple, and no media were invited, so no one knew that a contract had been reached between the two that could change the world in the future.

In this contract, they stipulate that Star Group will provide Saudi Arabia with fresh water resources, which will be priced at US$0.08 per tonne. Star Group is not responsible for the transportation of fresh water, but only supplies fresh water to the port of Dammam in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia must build two large pipelines near the port of Dammam that can divert fresh water from the sea to receive fresh water from Star Group.

At that time, when this clause was formulated, the negotiators on the Saudi side were very puzzled. According to their understanding, the desalination plant should be built on land, so why build a pipeline to receive fresh water from the sea? It wasn't until the Negotiators told the other side that their desalination plant was a large freighter, and the other side agreed to the seemingly bizarre clause in extreme shock.

The contract also stipulates that Saudi Arabia must guarantee the safety of the Star Group desalination plant and, if necessary, provide assistance to the security personnel on board the Star Group desalination vessel. The contract will be executed for 20 years, and it will be renewed after 20 years depending on the cooperation between the two parties.

After signing this contract, both parties breathed a sigh of relief. Especially in Saudi Arabia, those negotiators thought that they had taken the biggest advantage, and they almost took the negotiators of the Star Group as a big fool.

However, no one knows the long-term layout of Liu Hui's heart, and he is now working with Mei Peng to inject Abdullah with rejuvenation liquid. After Abdullah's vote, it brought $7 billion in net income to Star Group, which made Liu Hui smile happily.

Two days later, Abdullah returned to Saudi Arabia in good spirits and began to implement the desalination agreement signed with Star Group. Although his current appearance has not changed, the internal functions of his body have been restored by 80%, and those who think that the heir to the throne of the king after his death may not die until he dies. The emergence of rejuvenation liquid has begun to break some of the inherent laws of the old world, but this change has not yet been discovered.

Liu Hui also began to buy ready-made large ocean-going freighters in the world on a large scale, and also ordered new large cargo ships in those large shipyards. What makes the technicians of those shipyards feel strange is that the power positions of these large cargo ships ordered by the Star Group are vacant, and there are many very strange places in the design of the hulls, and they don't know what the Star Group is doing with these strange ships! However, the current social customer is God, and they have no right to dictate to the orders of the Star Group, so they can only build according to the hull design drawings provided by the other party.

When Liu Hui decided to get involved in the desalination market, he wanted to completely control the market once and for all, so he provided $0.08 a ton of fresh water to the outside world, which is even lower than the price of direct groundwater pumping from the ground in many countries. Therefore, this ultra-low price does not have any desalination plant that can be produced, and their price cost is all more than 0.69 US dollars, even if they do not make money, their fresh water is sold at the cost price of 0.69 US dollars a ton, they cannot compete with the Star Group, because the price of the Star Group is close to one-ninth of theirs, and the Star Group still has a quantitative advantage.

Therefore, as soon as Star Group makes a move this time, all desalination plants in the world will be closed, unless those desalination companies can be protected and subsidized by their own political axes to survive. When the price of desalination drops to $0.08, the world's pent-up demand for water will be released, creating a huge market for fresh water.

And Liu Hui has foreseen this huge market, so he will desperately buy ships all over the world during this time, and if he can't buy a current ship, he will order it at the shipyard. The ships are then driven back to Starry Sky and remodeled in the shipyard above, and in a month they can become desalination ships.

Considering that a 100,000-ton desalination ship can produce 5 million tons of fresh water per day if it is producing at full capacity, and at the same time extract nearly 180,000 tons of various minerals and precious metals from seawater, so this time the Star Group has also purchased some super-large transport cargo ships, and the carrying capacity of these super-large transport cargo ships has reached more than 800,000 tons. Once a week, these oversized carriers carry minerals and precious metals from those desalination vessels, and then transport them back to Star City to be stored for future construction transactions, which are valuable assets of the Star Group.

Liu Hui used a large number of fourth-level Warcraft crystal nuclei containing one million degrees of electrical energy on these seawater desalination ships, which not only provided power for the hull itself, but also provided huge energy support for the seawater desalination equipment above. In order to keep the secret of the Warcraft crystal nucleus, Liu Hui installed a laser weapon and an electromagnetic cannon on those desalination ships. Because these two energy weapons have been miniaturized, and their location on the ship is very hidden, outsiders have no idea that this ordinary-looking large cargo ship is actually a hedgehog covered in thorns, and anyone who touches it will get into trouble.

At the same time, in addition to some staff engaged in seawater desalination, there were also security personnel sent by the Star Security Company. However, Liu Hui was afraid that these ordinary security personnel would not be able to control the scene, so he specially mobilized some of the most elite mercenary soldiers from the African Dragon's Tooth Mercenary Group, and they also came to the ship to protect the safety of the desalination ship. In the name of the outside world, the Star Group hired a dragon tooth mercenary group to protect the safety of their property, but outsiders rarely know that there is actually a boss between the two.

After these safety protection measures have been taken, there is also good news from the Saudi side, they have set up two large water intake pipelines near the Dammam port, these two large water intake pipelines can take 200 tons of water per second, which can fully meet the current water demand of Saudi Arabia. So after Liu Hui's order, the offshore desalination ship sailed towards the waters of the Persian Gulf in Arabia under the protection of several auxiliary vessels.

A week later, the desalination plant of the Star Group, led by the desalination ship, arrived at the port of Dammam. Abdullah's health has improved considerably, and he is also interested in the desalination process of the Star Group, so he rushed to Dammam Port in person. Then he boarded the desalination ship with Saudi desalination experts, and after simple communication and coordination, the two sides began the formal desalination operation.

Under the order of the commander of the desalination ship, four huge suction pipes stretched out from the bottom of the ship, and they began to suck a large amount of seawater into the ship through these four huge suction pipes, and then these seawater flowed through the desalination equipment installed on the ship, and from the other two huge outlets flowed out of the freshwater with a very high purity, and from the other secret pipe installed under the cabin came out of the minerals and precious metals extracted from the seawater. After further processing, these things are sorted into different types of materials, which are then sorted and collected to wait for large transport ships to transport them back to the starry sky, which of course is invisible to the Arab side.

The Saudi freshwater experts on the ship, including Abdullah, were eye-opening, they just saw that the desalination ship began to pump a large amount of seawater from the sea, and then the seawater flowed into the desalination treatment equipment, and after a delay of about ten minutes, a large amount of fresh water began to flow out of the two large outlet pipes on the ship, and those Saudi experts hurriedly tested and tested the fresh water that flowed out, and the test results surprised them, because the quality of these freshwater is very high, It contains almost nothing in it, and it can be taken directly, which is completely in line with the provisions of the contract between the two of them.

So the Saudi experts immediately connected their large water intake pipeline with the two water outlets on the ship, and the fresh water flowed ashore through the large water intake pipeline they erected, and then through the water supply pipeline in the city of Dammam Port, it was connected to the water network pipeline all over the country, and finally the fresh water was transported to all parts of Saudi Arabia.

Abdullah and his desalination experts were very curious, they didn't know how Star Group did all this. But now this ship is full of heavily armed Star Group security personnel, and on the periphery of this ship, there are many fierce soldiers who are on guard, which makes those who are ready to detect the secrets of the Star Group discourage.

In this way, the first desalination ship of the Star Group began its official operation, which desalined a large amount of seawater while producing a large number of minerals and precious metals from the seawater, bringing great wealth to the Star Group.

And Liu Hui had already turned his mind to other aspects at this time, he only made decisions at the highest level, and as for those specific things, they were completely handed over to the professionals below to deal with. And at this moment, a detailed report of a man was sitting on his desk.

"Boss, this is the report of the girl named Angel that you asked us to investigate." Victorious and respectfully said to Liu Hui.

Liu Hui had an intimate physical contact with that Angel at the top of Victoria Peak in Hong Kong before, and it was that physical contact that made him have a strong interest in the girl named Angel. So he asked the Eye of the Starry Sky to conduct a detailed investigation of the girl's situation, and the report in front of him now was Anqi's specific information.

"Victory, what kind of eyes are you, is there anything wrong with this information?" Liu Hui asked.

"No, boss. Don't you know, this Angel is simply a super genius. If it weren't for the investigation I did, I wouldn't have believed that such a powerful genius existed in this world. Victorious said in admiration.

Liu Hui had some doubts in his heart, Victory has been getting more and more angry recently, and under normal circumstances, there will be no such gaffe at all, he actually said this girl named Anqi, is this Anqi really a super genius?
