Chapter 048: The Troubles of Happiness

Recently, He Xiao has felt a little annoyed.

There are always people who want to see him, and they are all people who are not small and difficult to refuse.

For example, the dignitaries of small countries, the crown princes, princes or princes of the Middle East, and the CEOs and executives of the world's top 500 companies.

I really don't understand what they think, I have obviously already released my words, the production and sales of Ambrera desalination equipment are in the sole responsibility of Roger AndrΓ©, and the negotiation matters are also in charge of his team.

At most, he just has a symbolic review, and many times he doesn't bother to look at it, on the one hand, he trusts Roger Andre, and on the other hand, there are really too many, he has this time, it is better to plan a more powerful entry......

But these people don't seem to understand people's words, and they don't come to see them one by one.

For example, he had to face the extremely strange pronunciation of a foreign minister in the hot continent, and there was a Middle Eastern crown prince, two princes, and four or five Fortune 500 executives queuing up outside.

It feels like another day is going to be wasted.

According to his own introduction, He Xiao knows that it is also an oil country, and it is close to the sea, more than 90% of the land is desert, and the altitude of the whole territory is relatively low, which is indeed one of the most ideal types of buyers of Ambrera desalination equipment.

"Your Excellency, please be sure to accept our order of 12,000 units, we are willing to pay 1.7 billion pounds, and we will pay it off within three years!" Mr. Vice President said excitedly.

Not only is his pronunciation extremely strange in Mandarin, but his voice is also broken, and he is always broken because of his emotions, and it is really torture to listen to him.

He Xiao flipped through the memo and said: "Mr. Foreign Minister, I'm sorry, your country has already ordered 1,000 units in the first batch, and now there are too many orders from all over the world, I'm afraid it is impossible for us to accept new orders within two years, if your country really needs it, please come back in two years to order." ”

This memorandum was prepared for him by Mia Akagi, which contains the basic information of each country and each company, as well as previous orders, and precautions.

"Your Excellency! That's because we didn't know that your products were so effective, and the fresh water produced by Ambrera desalination equipment is much better than the tap water in many countries, and can be drunk directly...... I know, I know, we are responsible for this, we did not participate in your company's product evaluation in advance, but, Your Excellency, please understand, our hot continent country, information is always backward, which is why we have been poor! Excellency! Please be sure to give priority to the countries of our hot continent! Mr. Foreign Minister said with fierce emotions.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

He Xiao almost didn't laugh out loud, even if other countries in the hot continent are selling badly, you are also an oil country, with a per capita GPD of more than 6,000 pounds, which belongs to the first grade of existence in the hot continent, and what kind of poor country is it left on.

Where can a really poor country get 1.7 billion pounds?

In fact, he knew very well that the young foreign minister saw the great significance of Ambrera desalination equipment to his country, and if it could be successfully introduced and change the fate of the country, it would become a political capital that he would enjoy for the rest of his life.

No, maybe his children and grandchildren will be able to enjoy it for generations.

It took a lot of effort for He Xiao to finally send the foreign minister away.

In fact, he also wants to sell more, but he really can't produce it, and the machine is not the main problem, as long as he finds more OEM factories, he can build it.

The key is the core product of this technology [SW-8040-HO-3208 reverse osmosis membrane], which cannot be handed over to other factories for OEM, and can only be produced by the parent company of Hawk Island, otherwise there may be imitation knockoffs soon.

This is also the most important source of profit for this set of equipment, after all, the equipment is a one-time transaction, and customers can even use it for more than ten years when they buy it, while the reverse osmosis membrane is a consumable, which can continue to generate profits.

……

The next guest turned out to be an old acquaintance, Yang Qingman, the business director of the East Ocean Region of CNOOC Company.

She is still responsible for exploration and development projects for offshore Hawk Island.

But she wasn't alone, there was a middle-aged man in front of her who was extremely well-dressed.

At a glance, she knew that this person should be her leader.

"Lord Duke, this is Chairman Hu of our head office, he and you are half a fellow countryman, and they are all from the Sichuan-Chongqing Basin." Yang Qingman said with a smile.

After a greeting between the two sides, Hu Dong went straight to the point and expressed the reason why he came, and CNOOC wanted to purchase another 8,000 Ambrera desalination equipment.

It is also because of Yang Qingman's previous friendship that Huahai Oil Company was the first batch of customers to get Ambrera desalination equipment, although only 800 units were initially ordered, because some of the company's senior management were worried that the product evaluation might be fake, because in their opinion, the effect of this product was a bit exaggerated.

But after a month of practical application, they finally found that the actual effect of this device may even be underestimated!

As we all know, the petrochemical industry is a heavily polluting industry, and now the environmental protection requirements are so strict, CNOOC spends 2 billion pounds a year on environmental protection, and wastewater treatment accounts for a large part of the expenditure.

Now tested that the Ambrera desalination plant is also effective in terms of wastewater treatment, better than any of the wastewater treatment plants they have used before.

And, at a lower cost!

Traditional sewage treatment plants need to be treated many times and consume a lot of energy.

Ambrera desalination equipment only needs a few thin reverse osmosis membranes, which can remove all kinds of impurities in the sewage, and the flow out can almost be said to be pure water! It can even meet drinking water standards!

It can be said that the dimensionality reduction strike.

Hu Dong came this time, and he was also determined to win, considering that Yang Qingman had a relatively pleasant cooperation with Hawke Island before, and he had also met Duke Hawke himself, so he brought her with him.

"This, eight thousand units...... I'm afraid it's a little hard......"

He Xiao was a little embarrassed, although as long as he spoke, he would definitely be able to give them priority, but he didn't want to break the rules, and he didn't want to make it difficult for Roger Andre.

However, Yang Qingman did help him several times before, such as the optical cable erection on Hawk Island, which she helped to contact and coordinate......

"We understand that just outside just now, we have communicated with other people, and we know that 8,000 units is really unlikely, otherwise, make a discount, 4,000 units, for the sake of Mr. Yang's face, you can see if you can satisfy it." Hu Dong didn't give He Xiao a chance to refuse, and preemptively said.

"Actually, our Hu Dong had a deep friendship with the old Duke Hawke during his lifetime, and he visited the old Duke Hawke's grave just now." Yang Qingman added.

This is really true, the offshore oil field was able to be surveyed at the beginning, and it was also because of the favor of the old Duke Hawke.

He Xiao had forgotten that there was such a thing. Although he made it up at first, it is now a fact.

"Four thousand...... It's still a bit much...... I'm trying to figure it out. He Xiao was still very embarrassed and said.

In fact, Roger Andre has a reserve of 5,000 units for emergency use, but he doesn't want to use up 4,000 units at once, so that if there is a real emergency, it will be troublesome.

"3,000 units will do!" When Hu Dong saw He Xiao's expression, he seemed to be afraid that he would refuse, so he took the initiative to "reduce the price" and said.

"Okay, then I'll give you 3,000 units first, and maybe I'll need to cooperate with you later." Seeing that the other party was so lost, He Xiao also gritted his teeth and said simply.

He didn't ask the other party to keep it secret and not tell other customers, because needless to say, it is impossible for these two to reach such a high position in such a large company, and they can't even have this bit of vision.
