Five buses and more than a dozen off-road vehicles escorted secretly were parked at the entrance of the Old Yellow River Estuary of Dongying.

A group of people wearing masks came out of the bus one after another.

Bathir Shah was the leader of the Holy Land Expedition Team. Through the translation of the translator, he knew that he had arrived at his destination.

Looking around, the old Huanghekou desalination plant covers a very large area, and there are also factories under construction on both sides of the factory.

The person in charge of entertaining a group of inspection teams is Tian Huazhang, deputy general manager of Huaguo Water. He pointed to the desalination factory and introduced: "Mr. Shah, this is our desalination factory. Currently, 2.3 million cubic cubic purified water can be produced every day."

The translator translated Tian Huazhang's words to Bathir Shah.

Bathir Shah looked at the inconspicuous factory and asked in surprise: "Tian, ​​is this a seawater desalination factory? Can 2.3 million cubic purified water be produced every day?"

After a moment, Tian Huazhang nodded: "Yes."

The leader of the Saudi Kingdom Expedition Team, Abu Bakar Saudi Arabia, glanced at the factory and had a large number of seawater desalination factories in their country, but they were basically using oil to exchange freshwater.

Even the rich and wealthy dog ​​owners feel pain in the face of the efficiency and cost of old-fashioned seawater desalination factories.

The group passed the inspection station at the entrance of the factory and, under the leadership of the director of the detoxification factory, visited the production process of the water purification workshop.

When I saw the pure water flowing out from the water purification equipment, Abu and Bathir showed enthusiasm and desire in their eyes.

For the desert-based kingdom, fresh water is undoubtedly a more important resource than oil, and the rows of pure water reservoirs in front of them actually make them envious.

Abu asked, "Tian, ​​don't know how many of these equipment are? Of course, if you are willing to transfer the technology, we will also give a satisfactory price?"

"Mr. Abu, our company has no idea to transfer technology for the time being." Tian Huazhang refused directly.

After listening to the translation, the tripartite inspection team did not feel any surprise. With this technology, China will definitely not transfer it easily.

"The price is also very cheap. A water purification equipment with a daily output of 100,000 cubic meters only costs 60 million yuan. This is the specific equipment quotation, you can take a look."

The assistant next to Tian Huazhang handed the quotation prepared in advance to the people from the three inspection teams.

Abu, Bathir and others hurriedly looked through it.

There are three types of water purification equipment, namely 5 cubic meters, 100,000 cubic meters, and 300,000 cubic meters, respectively. The price is 30 million and 600. For the wealthy sand kingdom and the United Emirates, it is really acceptable. It feels a bit expensive, only the Holy Land Republic.

However, this is just a quotation of equipment, as well as pipeline laying, factory construction, supporting facilities, and most importantly, water purification film.

In particular, the water purification film that needs to be replaced regularly is replaced once every six months on average, and the price is quite touching. The cost of replacing the water purification film of each specification is 500,000, 1 million, and 3 million respectively.

With the patent fee of 0.5 yuan per cubic purified water, as well as equipment depreciation costs, electricity costs, labor and maintenance costs, the cost per cubic purified water is around 1.2 to 1.3 yuan.

If Shanghai salt is added, the average price of water transfer is 2 to 3 yuan per cubic cube.

Although it is much cheaper than what they do, the current mainstream seawater desalination cost is usually 3 to 5 yuan per cubic cube, and large-scale production is still a problem.

At present, the scale of seawater desalination in the Sand Kingdom reaches 12 million cubic meters per day, accounting for about 15% of the world's seawater desalination scale.

China has a rhythm of coming from behind. According to the blue era, Beijing Enterprises Water’s plan, it is expected that before 2015, a daily output of 200 million cubic meters is formed.

After weighing the pros and cons, Abu asked: "Tian, ​​can we authorize the film to be produced by ourselves? We can pay the patent fee."

"I'm very sorry, the film can only be produced and installed by us." Tian Huazhang knew what the above meaning was, and this is no longer a matter of whether it is money or not.

As the leading country in seawater desalination technology before, the sand kingdom will not easily compromise. After all, water is more important than oil in West Asia where there is drought and low water, otherwise they will not invest a lot of money to develop seawater desalination technology.

Although the pure water in front of you is cleaner than the desalinated water of the sand, after adding trace elements, it is basically the level of drinking water directly.

However, this kind of situation that is subject to others is definitely not something Abu is willing to see. He would rather use the technology of the Kingdom of Sands because his technology is controllable.

Similarly, the United Emirates and the Holy Land Republic also felt that they were full of concerns. Under this model, they saw the existence of a crisis. Once China's water supply cuts off film, the consequences will be unimaginable.

It was just a cost issue that really bothered them. The wealthy sand kingdom and the United Emirates were fine.

It is simply unrealistic to let them adopt the technology of the sandy land.

On the one hand, it has price advantages, but it has safety risks; on the other hand, it is expensive, but it can ensure its independence and controllability.

This is a difficult choice.

Judging from the current situation, through official relations, Bathir can get a relatively preferential price, but the risks still exist. Only their domestic senior management can make the final decision.

The three inspection teams visited the Dongying Deneration Plant for a long time, then temporarily stayed in the local area, and then contacted them in the country to report the results of this inspection.

In addition to the three countries' inspection teams, the inspection teams sent by other countries also arrived in Dongying one after another.

Those countries that wanted to buy technology were rejected by Tian Huazhang.

The only countries that are interested in purchasing are Greece, Morocco, Malta, Egypt, and others are all on the stand-by and see.

Among them, Egypt and the island country Malta, which are more urgently needed, are currently under negotiation.

Huaguo Water Corporation is not too eager to develop the international market. At the same time, there are many conditions that do not intend to give in, and it looks like you love to buy but not buy.

As an island country in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, the Republic of Malta, with a population of only 430,000, is the first to sign a memorandum of cooperation.

The two parties signed a contract of 250,000 cubic meters per day.

Morocco, which followed closely behind, signed the first phase of the contract, with a downsizing scale of 1 million cubic meters per day.

These small countries with no geographical focus are already neutral and do not care so much about strategic security considerations.

So they took the lead in signing the contract.

On the other side.

The sandy land, holy land, the United Emirates and other parties need to consider too much and fell into a deadlock for a while.

As the two major troublemakers in the world, the United States and the Kingdom of Britain have also blocked China's water affairs, promoted the self-sufficiency of water resources, and secretly warned some of their allies to make them lose their way.

On the other side of the Blue Star.

Tetra Pak’s Swedish headquarters.

President's Office.

Andre Roland, currently the president of Tetra Pak, immediately became serious after reading the report from Greater China.
