Chapter 574: Vicious Case (4)
- "If it weren't for the fact that everyone is an old friend, I really wouldn't want to mention this. The point is that the shareholders in this business are governors, ministers, prime ministers, etc. There are many rules for cooperating with these big shots, and they basically don't want the average person to know. I have no choice but to do this! I really don't mean to hide it from everyone.
To be honest, it's really not possible for anyone to get these big names to sit together and talk about cooperation. It's not me who blows! You let Mr. Su's own translator try it, I'm afraid you won't even be able to find the door, right? Mike took a drag on his cigarette and said with squinted eyes.
- "That is, if those translators could compare with you, wouldn't they all become KGBs?" Mike, with so many big people involved, this business must be not small, why haven't I heard Mr. Su mention it at all? Director Zhu said with wide eyes.
- "If you want to talk about my business, even Mr. Su knows in his heart that those big people have many ways to make a lot of money, and they may not necessarily cooperate with him."
Therefore, this time I repeatedly said to Mr. Su, let's be low-key, low-key to make a lot of money, this is wisdom!
It doesn't matter if you and I are a little slippery, but in any case, we can't have an impact on the careers of my friends, and maybe any of them will become influential figures in the world. Mike said with his face tilted.
- "Make a lot of money in a low-key way!" It's true wisdom! Lao Xie said approvingly.
- "I said I didn't hear any wind!" It's no wonder that Mr. Su's mouth is so tight.
Mike, can you always give us some leaks? Look at how much you've hung my appetite! If you don't say anything at all, I won't be able to sleep all night, what kind of business is it? Deputy Director Cheng was a little anxious.
Looking at Director Zhu's anxious appearance, Mr. Liu smiled a little proudly.
- "Uh-huh...... That's it...... Since they are not outsiders, then I will talk about it, but don't spread the word after listening to it! Mike cleared his throat and continued:
- "Su and I always had an idea: to bring water from Lake Baikal to China.
There is such a shortage of water in northern China, and it needs to be transferred from the south, but the water of Lake Baikal has flowed into the Arctic Ocean in vain, isn't this a waste of resources? In this way, firstly, the problem of water shortage in China will be solved, and secondly, Russia's water resources can be exploited, turning waste into treasure, killing two birds with one stone. ”
- "Is this possible?" I blurted out
- "Why not?" Oil and gas are resources that can be sold, but isn't water also a resource? Isn't Lao Maozi living by selling resources? ”
——"Just allow that "Nongfu Spring" to be the porter of nature, why can't we move it? Besides, let's use the water of Lake Baikal! The world's best drinking water source, waiting for our pipeline to pass through, I am the first to squeeze out all the domestic counterfeiters of "Farmer" and "Haha"! ”
- "Awesome! Director Zhu exclaimed.
- "Where is this pipe going?" All the way to the Chinese border? Semyon asked.
Mike glanced at him, pouted, and said:
- "Just to the border, that's too petty, isn't it?" We plan to transit from Mongolia and then make a circle around China and get an ultimatum to Hong Kong. Let Hong Kong people drink the water of Lake Baikal too! ”
- "This is the project! Mr. Liu said suddenly.
Mike glanced around the group with a triumphant look.
- "This water isn't cheap, is it?" Lao Xie asked.
- "Why is it so cheap?" How much does bottled water from Lake Baikal sell around the world? Mike glanced at Lao Xie arrogantly and said.
- "That's a lot of money at the price of bottled water!" Deputy Director Cheng said.
- "So, we have to lay pipes, so that the cost of transporting water will come down, and by the way, just like the tap water we use, the price of our water supply will be set between bottled water and tap water." You say, if it were you, would you drink any other brand of water? ”
This Mike was really amazing, and everyone looked at each other for a while, and they were really shocked by his words.
- "This project requires a lot of investment, right?" I asked.
Mike looked at me and smiled and replied:
- "Beauty is right! This project is really not something that ordinary people can do, not to mention the huge investment, which involves China and Russia. The cross-border projects of Mongolia and Mongolia do not have certain government resources, so don't even think about it! ”
- "I said how could there be so many high-ranking officials involved, it turns out that I really can't get around these people!" Lao Xie said.
- "That's it! This Baikal is located between Irku and Ulan-Ude, at least the governor here should agree! We also have to pass through Mongolia, and we have already secured two Mongolian ministers related to this project, and I have already started to talk to their prime ministers a few days ago. Mike said.
- "Such a big project, is it invested by Lao Su?" I don't think the Mongolian side and the Russian side will pay for it, so is the strength of the Soviet head office also a little bit? Mr. Liu asked with some confusion.
- "This project. Not to mention Mr. Su's company, even the top 500 companies can afford it. We are investing in SoftBank this time! For the first time, Mike's eyes widened and he said, vividly:
- "Have you heard of the SoftBank Group?" It's the one that invested in Jack Ma! ”
- "Mr. Su, is this also connected with the "SoftBank" group? Hehe......" Deputy Director Cheng laughed excitedly.
Mike looked at him with some dissatisfaction and said:
- "I think the "SoftBank" group also saw the financial investment of this project, and it has little to do with whether or not I know Mr. Su!"
- "Huh...... I'm also curious, when did this Lao Su get involved with "SoftBank"? I've never heard him say this before! Mr. Liu said with a smile.
——"Mr. Su said that he mentioned our project to District Mayor Yu, and it was District Mayor Yu who came forward to get the line with "SoftBank". Mike said.
- "Oh! I said! SoftBank Investment must have seen the rate of return on your project. It seems that what you said about squeezing and praising "Wahaha" is really not a shadowless thing! Mr. Liu said.
Mike glanced at Mr. Liu and said:
- "I said that it would be polite to praise "Wahaha". Our project is comparable to the project of the century. When it starts operating in the future, we will definitely pull the NASDAQ stock market and make the world economy have a boost!"
I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I heard Mike's words, wondering if this Mike had drunk too much today, but the more he talked, the more he talked.
Mike seemed to see what I was thinking, and he looked at me and said:
- "Don't laugh, beauty. I'll do the math for you! Do you know what the Rockefeller family relied on to become the world's top richest people? ”
- "By oil." I replied.
- "Then I ask you. Is oil or water important? Mike asked, staring at me.
- "Of course water is important!" Water is the source of life, and animals can't live without water, let alone people. I said
- "That's right! It is said that oil is the blood of industry, and people can not use oil before the industrial revolution. But you can't afford not to drink water! Mike laughed.
- "Well, that's true! Lao Xie nodded in agreement.
- "So, he sells oil and is rich enough to rival the country, let's sell water, this resource is more important than oil, why do we have to earn less than him?" ”
- "Water is not as difficult as oil extraction, so it doesn't seem to be as valuable as oil." Mr. Liu said contemplatively.
——"Then our mining cost is also low, small profits but quick turnover, how much water do you say this Chinese needs to drink a day?" Mike said
- "If all the Chinese drink it, will there be enough water in Lake Baikal?" Xiao Shi asked.
- "Is it enough?" Hum! Don't say you don't know this, don't look at all of you here, you have been to Lake Baikal, but you really don't know that much about its water resources. Mike asked conceitedly.
- "Do you know that Lake Baikal is the largest freshwater lake in the world, and how much water it stores? ”
- "I don't really know about this! Mr. Liu said.
Mike extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray and said:
- "The total volume of the lake is 23.6 trillion cubic meters. It is equivalent to the water volume of the five Great Lakes of North America combined, more than the entire Baltic Sea, and accounts for 85% of the total water storage of Russian lakes. Its absolute clean water reserves account for 20% of the world's freshwater reserves. ”
- "Oh! That's a lot! Director Zhu sighed.
- "So, this amount of water should be enough for us to drink for a lifetime, right?" Mike said smugly.
