The richest man

In just over a month, Zhonghua Energy Company has established four large-scale WaterSeer manufacturing plants in the western and northwestern regions. The monthly output of each factory can reach 250 million, and it can produce 1000 million WaterSeers in a month. Not only its own It's perfectly adequate, and it's still exportable.

And this time, Zhang Jun does not intend to provide WaterSeer to the folks for free.

He has provided enough employment opportunities for local people, such as sand control and tree planting, construction of photovoltaic power stations, wind power stations, desert greenhouses, desert farm plantations and various factories, etc...

The local villagers have long been lifted out of poverty.

The cost of a WaterSeer artifact is 300 yuan. If it is sold to them, it will only sell for 500 yuan. After deducting other expenses, Zhonghua Energy does not make much money.

And every household buys a WaterSeer, which can solve their daily water problems.

In early April 2015, WaterSeer produced successfully.Because Zhonghua Energy Company has an increasingly serious and urgent need for water resources, the first batch of products are all for their own use.

In this way, there is also an advantage, that is, it serves as a demonstration, and the locals will only buy it when they see the water fetching effect of WaterSeer with their own eyes.

Soon, a large number of white WaterSeer towered in the deserts and Gobi areas of China. At a glance, the rows of mushroom towers and the automatic rotating fans on them are spectacular.

In addition, the desert area is full of photovoltaic power stations, wind power stations and greenhouses, full of science fiction. This is not a desert, it seems to have come to the future world...

Countless people who came to the desert for the first time were all shocked.

This time, the emergence of WaterSeer finally solved the problem of water shortage.

When the local people saw the water coming out of WaterSeer, they burst into tears with excitement.

"There is water! Finally there is water!"

"WaterSeer is really worthy of being a magic tool for fetching water. It can produce so much water in a day that it can't be used up!"

It's only 80 to 100 liters of water, but for the locals, this amount of water is enough for them to use for several days.

In fact, if the western and northwestern parts of China are not far from the ocean, building seawater desalination plants would be the most convenient and most economical way.

For example, Saudi Arabia is very short of water resources. The main water used is groundwater and seawater desalination. The groundwater will always be drained one day. Only seawater desalination is an effective way to solve the shortage of water resources in Saudi Arabia.

Once WaterSeer was launched, it quickly became popular in the west, even the whole country, and the whole world.

Such a kind of water fetching artifact has low cost and high water intake, and it can undoubtedly become a must-have for many families and even businesses.

Numerous Internet celebrities flocked to the desert area to shoot WaterSeer. After a while, a large number of WaterSeer-related videos appeared on short video platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou.

Zhonghua Energy Company has made WaterSeer a household name for water-taking artifacts with almost no promotional costs.

Immediately, countless people began to ask how to buy WaterSeer.

Soon, they found out that the price of a WaterSeer was only 500 yuan!
"Damn it, WaterSeer is so cheap, buy it decisively!"

People in water-scarce areas are very excited, and this price is no pressure for them.

If you buy a few more units, it will not only be able to meet the needs of household water, but it will be no problem even if the water is used to irrigate the fields.

At this time, China Energy Company also opened a pre-order channel online. Farmers who do not know how to use the Internet can seek help from Alibaba's rural e-commerce service station, and then purchase WaterSeer.

Many families choose to purchase several WaterSeers.

Drinking water, doing laundry, cooking, bathing, and watering the fields, one WaterSeer is really not enough.

At the end of June, China Energy Company sold nearly 6 million units of WaterSeer, which was a bit unexpected.

Later, after investigation, it was discovered that WaterSeer had become a red net product, and many people in big cities also bought it.

Some netizens said that the air humidity in their hometown is relatively high. Buying a WaterSeer can not only dehumidify, but also collect nearly 100 liters of water every day.The water is very clean and can be drunk as long as it is boiled.

Zhang Jun himself didn't think about dehumidification. He really didn't expect netizens to open their minds and use it to remove moisture.

In fact, this is not practical, it is purely a deliberate hype by netizens.

Seeing that many people believe it is true, Zhang Jun can't help but laugh.

However, in hot summer or dry season, first-tier cities will also need WaterSeer, especially when water is cut off, WaterSeer can come in handy.

At this time, countries in the Middle East successively sent people to Zhonghua Energy Company to seek cooperation and purchase WaterSeer.

As we all know, Middle Eastern countries produce oil, but water resources are extremely scarce, and even water resources are more precious than oil.

Fat Sheep is here, of course you have to slam it~
The WaterSeer, which was originally sold for 500 RMB, immediately increased in price and sold for 200 US dollars, which is almost 1500 RMB.

"Here, are you selling it too expensive? As far as I know, the price of WaterSeer in China is only 500 RMB, but it is sold to us for 200 US dollars. This is very unreasonable!" A representative of Saudi Arabia said angrily.

The negotiator of China Energy Company smiled lightly, and explained in an unhurried manner: "The reason why WaterSeer is sold cheaply in China is because our boss is Chinese, and the right is to treat WaterSeer as a charity project. Naturally, WaterSeer cannot be so cheap. In order to develop WaterSeer, our company invested hundreds of millions of dollars, which took one or two years, so $200 is the normal price.”

The representative of Saudi Arabia thought for a while and felt that what the other party said made sense, but had no choice but to accept this explanation.

However, in terms of price, you still have to fight for it.

But it is a pity that the attitude of China Energy Company is very firm and has always insisted on asking for 200 US dollars.

The Saudi delegation saw that China Energy Company would not buy oil and salt, so they were unwilling to lower the price anyway, so they could only choose to compromise on their own side.

But only $200 a WaterSeer, not too expensive.

The Saudi company produces oil and earns a lot of money. There are not many other things, but a lot of money.

After several rounds of negotiations, Saudi Arabia ordered a total of 1000 million WaterSeers from China Energy Corporation, at a total cost of US$20 billion.

……

Most water-scarce countries are not as rich as Saudi Arabia.

Central Asia is the largest inland block in the world, with a dry climate, and water resources are very precious and scarce, even more important than oil and gas.

The five Central Asian countries lack both water and electricity.

However, their countries are relatively rich in resources, rich in oil, natural gas, gold, uranium, etc., but their economic development is average.

The invention of WaterSeer by Zhonghua Energy Company naturally attracted their attention.

Therefore, these countries also quickly sent negotiating teams to China to purchase a batch of WaterSeer.

At the same time, they also want to seek power support from China, and even seek water resources after the completion of the Hongqi River project in the future.

Zhang Jun covets the resources in Central Asia, so he plans to buy them and lower the price of WaterSeer to only 1000 RMB.

Once the desert control in western and northwestern China is completed, the economy here will develop rapidly, and the five Central Asian countries will be nearby, and products can be sold to them nearby, not limited to water, electricity, food, vegetables and fruits, and various Light industrial products.

If the west wants to develop, it must drive the economic development of the surrounding areas together. A single flower is not spring, and a hundred flowers bloom together in spring.

The greater the dependence of neighboring countries on China, the more China's influence and discourse power in the region and even the world will be increased.

Central Asian countries are basically suppliers of energy, raw materials, agricultural and animal husbandry products and food...

Zhang Jun also intends to take advantage of this cooperation opportunity to enter the Central Asian market on a large scale.

Zhang Jun did not participate in the specific negotiations between the two parties, but he formulated a strategic policy and route.

The five Central Asian countries did not expect that they were just going to buy some WaterSeer to relieve the pressure of water shortage, and they did not expect to get investment from Zhang Jun.

Just after the five Central Asian countries negotiated the WaterSeer order agreement, Zhang Jun sent five delegations with more than one hundred people each to inspect investment projects in these five countries.

The Chinese authorities also took the opportunity to discuss cooperation with the five Central Asian countries to jointly build a high-speed rail, and use the power of the high-speed rail to closely connect Central Asia with China.

Wherever the high-speed rail passes, UHV routes will be built to sell China's excess power to the five Central Asian countries.

The five Central Asian countries sell their domestic raw materials to China.

RMB is used for settlement between the two countries.

In this way, the interests of the five Central Asian countries can be firmly tied to the Chinese carriage, making it impossible for them to get off.

Both China and Zhang Jun offered olive branches. For the five Central Asian countries, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and there is no reason not to cooperate.

Two months later, when the inspection returned to China, a thick investment plan was placed on Zhang Jun's desk.

Zhang Jun spent several nights reading through the investment plan, and he agreed with most of the projects.

In order to attract Zhang Junlai to invest, the Central Asian countries offered extremely favorable conditions, which are so good that the outside world can hardly imagine, such as three reductions and two exemptions, land cabbage prices, interest-free loans, etc...

Zhang Jun couldn't help clicking his tongue when he saw it.

However, Zhang Jun also understood the other party's intentions.

On the one hand, it is because their own investment is relatively large, which can really help their country develop.

On the other hand, they also want to use their own fame to attract foreign investment.You see, even Zhang Jun, the richest man in the world, has come to invest in our country. Do you also come to invest a little?

"Just invest according to what I have selected. After our country controls the desert, neighboring countries will also benefit, and the economy will develop rapidly. Now investing in Central Asia, you should not lose money." Zhang Jun handed the plan to Assistant, opened the mouth and said.

"Yes!"

……

……

A month later, Legend Group signed a bunch of investment agreements with Central Asia, totaling US$500 billion.

As soon as the news came out, the whole world couldn't help but feel a sensation.

To be honest, Central Asia has almost no sense of presence internationally.

Many people don't know which countries are in Central Asia.

It is also because of Zhang Jun's investment in Central Asia this time that Central Asia has attracted the attention of the media and netizens.

"From the map, these countries in Central Asia are actually quite big, especially Kazakhstan, which is the largest landlocked country in the world, with a land area of ​​2724900 square kilometers. India is only 2980000 square kilometers. However, the population of the two countries The gap is huge, India has a population of 14 billion, and Kazakhstan has a population of only 1800 million. The GDP of the two countries is also very different... Kazakhstan’s total GDP is about 1700 billion US dollars.”

"Well, the GDP of such a big country is only 1700 billion U.S. dollars. The legendary technology company under Zhang Jun's name has a net profit of 3000 to [-] billion U.S. dollars a year. The gap is so big! The whole country can't compare with Zhang Jun's name. My God, this is really shocking. I used to see people using the idiom 'wealth can rival the country' to describe rich people. I thought that this idiom itself might have problems. A person How could his wealth be comparable to that of a country? Impossible, absolutely impossible! But since Zhang Jun was born, I am convinced, he is really rich and incomparable to a country!!!”

"Haha, of course, Zhang Jun is not awesome. Do you know Mongolia? It is the second largest landlocked country in the world after Kazakhstan. Its area is not small, about 156 million square kilometers, and its population is about 330. million, but the GDP is only $129 billion..."

"Fuck, it's only 129 billion US dollars, so little?! Hehehe, forgive me for suddenly laughing unkindly. Such a huge country only has this little GDP, and the development speed is too slow. In other words, since the invention of machine guns and cannons, The nomads became hospitable and good at singing and dancing. In the poems of the great man, it was written that "the proud generation, Genghis Khan, only knows how to bend the bow and shoot big eagles". Thinking about it, even if Genghis Khan is reborn, it will be difficult to replicate the glory of the past."

"How could Zhang Jun, such a smart investor, think of investing in Central Asia?"

"Some experts have analyzed that it may be related to China's sand control. Once the desert becomes fertile soil, the Central Asian region will also benefit. Therefore, Zhang Jun will invest in the layout as early as possible."

"I said why did he go to Central Asia to invest, so that's how it is..."

"Hehe, the countries in Central Asia should actually hate Zhang Jun. According to the information I have collected, these countries in Central Asia mainly rely on the export of energy and raw materials to make money. However, the company under Zhang Jun's name is dedicated to the development and application of renewable energy. This led to a drop in the price of oil and natural gas. Now it seems that Central Asian countries should have seen the situation clearly. The trend of new energy is hard to stop, so they can only embrace it. Attracting Zhang Jun's investment is the key, which is very important for the country's investment attraction. And then have the financial resources to promote the transformation of the country and develop a new economy.

It is not difficult to infer that with the innovation of China's new energy sources, the amount of oil imports will be greatly reduced in the future.However, petroleum can not only be used as fuel for cars, but also a raw material for many chemical products.China is so big that it needs a lot of oil. If Central Asian countries want to sell oil to China, they need to establish a good relationship with China.

In addition, there are quite a lot of deserts in Central Asia. The company under the name of Zhang Jun has the richest desert control experience and the most advanced technology. Who would not want Zhang Jun to help their country control sand? "

……

In fact, many of the analyzes of netizens are in place.

The Central Asian countries did ask Zhang Jun to help their countries control sand, but Zhang Jun refused. His own country was too busy, so how could it be possible to send a team of experts to help them.However, the countries in Central Asia have never given up and offered many exciting conditions, such as if one square kilometer of desert is well managed, he can get 5% of its land.

Not to mention, Zhang Jun was very excited.

Although 5% is very small, but the scale is large, this figure is very alarming.

In the end, Zhang Jun still chose to agree. It was really hard to refuse the kindness, and there was no other way.But after thinking about it carefully, Zhang Jun felt that the other party might also want to further bind himself. Just imagine, you own a lot of land in Central Asia, don't you want to develop it?

Fortunately, this is a win-win situation.

Zhang Jun is naturally happy to see the results. After reaching an agreement with the Central Asian countries, he first sent an expert team to investigate there and analyze the local light, climate, soil and so on. "Oranges grown in Huainan are oranges, and oranges grown in Huaibei are oranges."Deserts in different places are treated differently. Some psammophytes may grow in China, but they may not survive in Central Asia.

Zhang Jun estimated that it would take at least two years after tomorrow to really start to control the deserts in Central Asia.

At that time, I will send professional sand control workers there.

China is known as the "infrastructure maniac", and the Chinese people are also indispensable for sand control and tree planting.

Kazakhstan has a vast land and few people. We expect them to control the desert, but we don't know that it will take until the year of the monkey to control the desert.

Transferring Chinese sand control workers to Central Asia to control sand can just solve their employment problem, so that they will not have to wait until China's sand control is successful and have no room to use them, resulting in layoffs and unemployment.

……

The outside world is still talking about Zhang Jun's investment in Central Asia.

However, WaterSeer has conquered cities and lands in various countries around the world, especially Australia, which has a land area of ​​768 square kilometers, but the desert area alone has 113 million square kilometers, ranking first in the world.Although Australia is surrounded by the sea, it is a country that is extremely short of water and has the title of "Sunburn Country". Therefore, Australia has a very large demand for WaterSeer.

As we all know, Australia is very rich in mineral resources, and China needs to import a large amount of iron ore from Australia all year round...

As the largest importer of iron ore in the world, China has no pricing power, and the price of iron ore rises at every turn, which has caused China to be bullied.

When Zhang Jun sold WaterSeer to Australia, he also raised the price again, from $200 to $250.

Love to buy or not, anyway, China Energy does not make money by selling WaterSeer.

Australia is seriously short of water, and WaterSeer is of great significance to them, so they have to buy it!

They sent people to discuss several rounds of negotiations without any results, so they could only grit their teeth and accept the offer from China Energy Company.

It's just that, when they got angry at China Energy Company, they would find a way to vent their anger later.

After the negotiating team returned to Australia, a negotiator said angrily: "WaterSeer raised the price unreasonably. It was sold to other countries for only 200 US dollars, but it was sold to us for 250 US dollars. This is simply not to put us in Austria. In my eyes, our iron ore should also increase in price!!!”

This proposal was immediately approved by everyone.

Zhang Jun did not expect that within a few days, the international iron ore price suddenly rose by 5%.

"Boss, the skyrocketing price of iron ore will cost us a lot!"

Huo Jianning, CEO of China Land, said with a frown that China Land needs to use a lot of steel every year. Once the price of iron ore rises, the cost will immediately rise by a large amount.

Zhang Jun is also very helpless about this. China does not have the right to price iron ore, so it can only be manipulated by others all the time. If you want to raise the price, you can raise the price, but you have no choice.

"Is it possible to develop a material to replace steel?" Zhang Jun pondered, and after a while, he said firmly, "I guess there should be!"

Thinking of the price increase of iron ore, the corners of Zhang Jun's mouth could not help but rise slightly, revealing a hint of sneer and sarcasm: "You have a lot of iron ore, right? My brother directly made iron ore worthless..."

After all, Zhang Jun then held a meeting and announced that he would spend huge sums of money to develop new materials to replace steel! ! !

In the conference room, everyone in the audience couldn't help being shocked.

Immediately, someone sighed: "The iron mine may be doomed..."
