Chapter 353: Impossible Conditions
Sure enough, at the time of the final bidding, a representative of Ambrera arrived at the scene, which immediately caused a whisper.
This time, Mexico's water system bidding is not purely the highest bidder, but requires detailed planning and commitment.
At the same time, the cap on water prices is limited.
In the past, water utilities could directly convert the original contract and existing assets as the basis for bidding.
Several water companies in Mexico have also received briefings and news in advance at this time, and have already met to reach a certain consensus.
Fighting, but Ambrera is not easy to offend, the first offer and proposal are mostly a kind of temptation, which will leave a lot of leeway, and will also give a second chance to negotiate.
Until then, let's just meet and sum it up.
Anyway, what is being squeezed is also the interests of the Mexican people here, whoever earns is earning, and you can't lose money, right......
The preparation of all parties is complete, as is the quotation.
Because it has been in operation for so many years now, it can be said that the first set of plans that these water oligarchs came up with is much the same.
To a certain extent, they have made certain price reductions and concessions, and put their own technical advantages, plant advantages, employee advantages, etc.
And find out the reason for the high price of water.
"It's not that we want to maintain this kind of water price, but now that the environment in Mexico is deteriorating and the cost is rising, we have to do this, and the specific cost calculation is also in the data......"
Couri said to a reporter who came in at the scene in a tone of regret and helplessness.
This time the impact was too great, and such a big move was made, so naturally reporters would be allowed to enter, and some of the representatives of the demonstration were also here.
After all, to some extent, it was indeed the Mexican officials who forcibly intervened in the original contract, and they had to find a reasonable excuse.
Security, people's livelihoods, and the delegates present can share enough pressure for them.
"So what does President Corey think about Ambrera's entry? You can see that many of the delegates at the scene had excited expressions and seemed to believe Ambrera. ”
The reporter also watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal, but asked intense questions.
This made Kao Rui scold his mother in his heart while saying with a smile
"Ambrera is a great company, and now our company has access to the current security, it's all about Ambrera, and we all love them."
I praised it first, and then continued
"However, there is a specialization in the art industry, Ambrera has no experience in water affairs at all, if they want to enter the game, it may be better to start with some simple places, our environment in Mexico is seriously deteriorated, water resources are depleted, groundwater pollution, it is very difficult and challenging, this kind of technical threshold can not be reached in a short time, even if they finally buy our plants, water pipes, and machines, they can't do better than us......"
Because the subject was Ambrera, Corry's words were quite restrained and polite.
If this is changed to other little Karami, I am afraid that it will be ridiculed directly in front of the camera.
Do you know what you're up against?
The world's top water company!
In this water-scarce environment in Mexico, we are professional!
This time it can be said that the whole process is live, and Kaorui's words have also reached the ears of many people.
Although many Mexican people now have a sense of blind worship for Ambrera, but Corey's words are here, this is indeed the reality!
The earth is a planet covered in water, and Mexico is surrounded by seas, but the actual usable fresh water is quite scarce.
Yes, there are means of desalination.
But even those oil guys in the Middle East can't rely on desalination to sustain water sources! Cost and efficiency are here!
If it is a person, relying on some distillation equipment or something, it is possible to maintain his own survival by making a small desalination device.
However, for the consumption of a country, the need for this kind of capacity, this amount, and the overall cost and demand are too high.
Fortunately, Mexico's environment is much better than that of the Middle East, and it still has lakes and reservoirs.
However, in recent years, due to environmental degradation, these water resources have also been rapidly depleted.
In addition, the water company's deliberately untreated sewage polluted the groundwater, making the already scarce water source even more scarce!
Water outages in some slums are commonplace, especially during dry seasons, and they have to rely on water trucks to transport some yellowed water.
However, some of their beverage manufacturers have private wells and rely on higher technology to occupy clean groundwater.
The same is true of some companies controlled by Western capital.
Moreover, they are indeed more experienced in the scheduling and arrangement of water sources.
Unless Ambrera completely throws money and takes all the resources that belong to them, it will be impossible for them to maintain their operation, and even the supply will not be as good as it is now!
The number of resources itself is here, and you can't appear out of thin air, not to say that you can simply throw money at it to be useful.
What if you pay for the water and reduce the price of water to one cent? Where do you get so much water?
When the time comes, the humanitarian crisis caused by the lack of water will not be a joke!
That's why they have no fear.
Forcibly repossess their private wells?
Not to mention how bad this is, it's really urgent, the well has 'collapsed', and the price of water will continue to skyrocket!
It's not that they're setting the price, it's that people who don't have water to drink will raise the price until they can't afford it......
It's not like they haven't done this, this is a game of capital!
For example, Mexico's Acre Continental Group, the second-largest producer and distributor of Coca-Cola in Latin America, also has a large number of private wells.
But even when the drought was rampant and the Mexican officials called on the beverage factory to stop production, they were indifferent and would never separate the water from their private wells.
This is the price at which resources related to people's livelihood are completely controlled by capital.
The bitter fruit swallowed after being fooled and lame.
Even when encountering this kind of drought and natural disasters, it is the time of capital carnival harvesting, which is no different from the ancient land annexation.
Under the sun, there is nothing new, some are just reproductions of different skins.
The more natural and man-made disasters there are, the more likely it is that the capital of the top players will inflated in reverse......
However, then, Mexican officials have successively issued many promises and offers from several major companies.
The previous few established companies do have a certain degree of price reduction and some commitments, and the quotations are also topped by their previous shares in the contract.
It is equivalent to simply reducing some profits and unit prices to give an explanation for this turmoil.
If it's normal, that's actually enough.
After all, the truth is here, and there is nothing to do about them!
But with the subsequent announcement of Ambrera appeared after the show.
There was a sudden uproar at the scene!
Promised, 15 pesos a ton of water for the residents of Mexican!
The water quality guarantees the drinking water level, and the pipe is enough!
Converted, less than the price of a US knife!
And to ensure a gradual increase in production, after half a year, it can be supplied in sufficient quantities, even including industrial water!
Due to the lack of water in Mexico, there is a quota for factory water, and if it is exceeded, it will not be given.
That's a big promise! It's not even realistic!
"It can't be!"
"Definitely going to lose money."
"And how is it possible to have so much production? Water can't come out of nowhere! ”
"So much polluted groundwater, how do you pump it!"
Even if Mexico, the parallel world next door, bought back its own water at the beginning of the new century, but because of the overall harsh environment, the national average water price is 0.007 US dollars per gallon, which is equivalent to nearly two US dollars a ton, which is average and has government subsidies!
In the world where private companies are still making profits, the price of water is naturally much higher.
In some water-scarce areas, the cost is far more than that, plus transportation, scheduling, and operation, isn't it how much to sell and how much to lose?
And the question is where does the water come from?
Desalination? Can the dilution efficiency keep up with the needs of so many people in Mexico?
