Chapter 197 Desalination
The king of Saudi Arabia is coming to visit the Star Group?

Liu Hui was a little confused after getting the news. He didn't know why the Saudi king came to visit his Star Group.

From the perspective of business scope, Star Group and Saudi Arabia seem to have no intersection at all, and they have nothing to do with each other.The largest industry in Saudi Arabia is the oil industry, and the Star Group intends to exploit seabed oil, but it has not yet been able to solve the problem of deep sea mining, so the oil industry is only a plan on Liu Hui's paper for the time being, so now the king comes to the Star Group to visit What is the visit for?

But no matter what Liu Hui thinks, Saudi Arabia is a country after all, and he still welcomes the leader of a country to visit Star Group.This is not only conducive to demonstrating the soft and hard strength of the Star Group, but also means that the Star Group has gradually entered the international political stage.

So the Star Group quickly gave a positive reply to the Hong Kong government and the Saudi delegation, and said that they are ready to welcome His Majesty the King's visit and are ready to welcome King Abdullah at any time.

Soon, after receiving a formal affirmative reply from Star Group, the specific matters regarding King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia's visit to Star Group were determined.Then the Saudi royal family sent personnel to conduct preliminary communication and contact with Wu Yuanjia of the Star Group, and after clarifying the security guarantee, Abdullah officially began to visit the Star Group.

Liu Hui led a group of CEOs of the Star Group to welcome King Abdullah and his party at the gate of the company. After all, this was the first foreign head of state received by the Star Group, so the scene was quite grand.The Hong Kong government is more pragmatic and does not like to show off like mainland officials. Wherever they can increase their face, they will have their shadows.Therefore, the King of Saudi Arabia's visit to the Star Group was not accompanied by local officials in Hong Kong. They just sent police to clear the way to protect the safety of the Saudi royal family on the periphery.

Although King Abdullah is 90 years old this year, he still looks hale and hearty, with black hair and beard.He was wearing a traditional Arabic robe, and his face was full of red. When he saw Liu Hui, he walked up quickly before Liu Hui could speak, and gave Liu Hui a warm hug.

"By Allah, I finally met the most successful businessman on the planet today. I am really happy today." Abdullah and Liu Hui hugged each other and said happily in English.

"I am also very happy to meet His Majesty the King today. You are an old friend of our Chinese people and have made a lot of contributions to our country. I have heard of your name since I was very young." Liu Hui humbly said in English.

Abdullah carefully looked around, then approached Liu Hui quietly, and whispered in his ear: "Mr. Liu Hui, please don't say that I am an old friend of your country! Look at the international In fact, those people who are often referred to as old friends of your country are either overthrown by their people, or are in prison in a foreign country, or have been killed. It seems a bit unlucky to be an old friend of your country. "

Liu Hui was taken aback for a moment. He just followed what the national leaders and foreign guests said on TV when they met, but he didn't expect that such a topic as Abdullah would be brought up.

Seeing Liu Hui's dazed expression, Abdullah laughed suddenly and said, "Haha, Mr. Liu Hui, I was joking just now, don't take it seriously. Don't look at me at such an old age, but my heart is very young Yes, the sense of humor is no less than that of you young people. In fact, I personally prefer to be an old friend of your Star Group."

Only then did Liu Hui come to his senses, and suddenly he felt that this old Arab man was not as unattainable as he was on TV, but more like an amiable grandfather next door, he said with a smile: "Hehe, our Star Group also hopes to become His Majesty the King." good friend."

"Mr. Liu Hui, I have been paying attention to your Xingkong Group, and I am also very interested in your legendary entrepreneurial experience, so I took the liberty to visit your Xingkong Group this time. I think you will definitely fulfill my little wish of an old man. Right?" Abdullah laughed.

"Of course we welcome His Majesty the King very much. Your Majesty the King, please come inside!" Liu Hui made an invitation gesture.

"Haha, Mr. Liu Hui, let's go together!" Abdullah grabbed Liu Hui, and the two walked into the Star Group side by side.Except for Abdullah's close entourage and bodyguards, other members of the Saudi royal family were waiting at the gate. This was the result of the previous communication between the Saudi royal family and Wu Yuanjia. A little angry, feeling that they were insulted by the Star Group, but their emotions were later appeased by His Majesty the King, so they followed this seemingly unreasonable arrangement of the Star Group.

Liu Hui began to take Abdullah to visit the production workshop under the Star Group. He acted as the explainer himself, and Abdullah listened with gusto.However, Liu Hui just stood outside the production workshop and explained to Abdullah the production situation inside, but did not take him in to watch.After all, Liu Hui's business secrets have already been involved in the workshop, and Abdullah also understands Liu Hui's approach very well, not to mention that he knows nothing about these productions at all, and his purpose today is not in these production workshops.

Although the sales volume of Xingkong Group is very high, his actual production workshop is not very big, only less than one square kilometer in size, so Abdullah quickly visited the entire Xingkong Group, but the old man is old after all, Just a little bit out of breath for a while.However, his spirit was very excited. After this on-site visit and Liu Hui's personal explanation, he was very interested in the trillion-dollar products produced by Xingkong Group in an area of ​​one square kilometer, and he repeatedly expressed his inconceivability. Liu Hui flatly accepted the other party's praise for Star Group.

After visiting the production workshop of Xingkong Group, Abdullah said with a smile: "Mr. Liu Hui, I just visited your Xingkong Group, and I think your Xingkong Group is doing very well. I have an idea in my mind now, I don't know Can we, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, develop a cooperative relationship with your Star Group?"

Liu Hui smiled and said, "Hehe, why don't you go to my conference room and discuss it in detail! I think His Majesty the King is also a little tired."

Abdullah laughed and said, "That's what I mean too!"

So they came to a conference room specially arranged by Liu Hui. Abdullah sat down on the sofa in the conference room and suggested: "Mr. The two of us come to communicate alone, do you think this is okay?"

Hearing what Abdullah said, Liu Hui thought that the other party suddenly asked to visit his star group, and now asked to be alone with him, and immediately knew that the king must have something to say to him, and this kind of talk is not suitable for people in crowded places. When it was time to say it, he smiled and said, "Okay, just as His Majesty the King said."

So all the entourages of both sides left Liu Hui's meeting room, and only Liu Hui and Abdullah were left in this room.

Seeing that there were only the two of them in the room, Abdullah looked at Liu Hui and said with a smile, "Mr. Liu Hui, I wonder how well your conference room is doing with secrecy?"

Liu Hui said with a smile: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, what the two of us are saying here, it is absolutely impossible for outsiders to know."

Abdullah breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said with a serious expression: "Mr. Liu Hui, in fact, the purpose of my visit this time is very simple, that is, to hope that the Star Group can help me perform rejuvenation surgery!"

Liu Hui was taken aback, pretended to be stupid and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know exactly what you mean?"

Abdullah said with a smile: "Mr. Liu Hui, you must know that I have been good friends with the old Superman of the Li family in Hong Kong for many years, and I know everything that happened to him recently. When I came to Hong Kong this time, at the beginning I went to visit this old friend of mine, I was there, and I found out that he has begun to rejuvenate, and all of this is because of your Star Group. So we are all sensible people, so I won’t talk nonsense.”

Liu Hui thought about it carefully, and suddenly smiled: "Has His Majesty been deceived by others? When did the technology in this world develop enough to make people rejuvenate? Why don't I call Superman right away and ask him this matter?"

Abdullah was smiling and seemed to be very confident, but after hearing Liu Hui's words, he felt a little embarrassed. He said: "Mr. The changes in him were guessed."

Liu Hui was a little surprised at first when Abdullah said that it was the old Superman who revealed the secret of rejuvenation, but he immediately realized it.Because it is impossible for the old superman to leak the secret, and even if he accidentally leaks the secret, he will tell himself afterwards, and he has never received any reminder from the old superman.What's more, if the old superman really told Abdullah the secret of his rejuvenation, it would be impossible for the old king to come to the Star Group alone today. The old superman would definitely accompany him and help the king speak of.

So Liu Hui just thought briefly, and immediately saw through Abdullah's words, the old king was deceiving himself.

Liu Hui asked calmly: "Oh, did something happen to Old Superman, why didn't I know?"

Abdullah said with a wry smile: "Mr. Liu Hui, don't say that you don't know about the old Superman becoming younger! You have come so close, you must have discovered the earth-shaking changes in him. What's more, Not long ago, the old gambler of the He family in Macau also came to your place, and soon after he returned, his health immediately began to improve, are you going to say that there is nothing about your Star Group?"

In fact, Liu Hui already knew that this day would come. After two years of treatment, the old superman's body has completely recovered to the prime of life at the age of 25. Now the old superman's body is even younger and stronger than the little superman. .But this also brings a big trouble, that is, the old Superman must wear makeup every time he goes out to cover up the secret that he is becoming younger.However, even when he is wearing makeup, there will be some flaws occasionally, which cannot be hidden from the attention of some caring people.

Therefore, after Abdullah found out about his secret, Liu Hui was not in a hurry, because his current strength was far worse than that of two years ago.Two years ago, he had no power to fight back against the challenges of others, but now he has some power to fight back, which can make people scrupled.

"If what happened to them is related to our Star Group, what does His Majesty the King plan to do?" Liu Hui said playfully. The King of Saudi Arabia is the richest king in the world. Now that he has come to his door, how could Liu Hui Let go of this fat sheep?He was just testing Abdullah's attitude just now.

Abdullah was refreshed. Liu Hui did not completely deny that the Star Group can make people rejuvenate, so this is a good thing for him, and there is hope for success. He immediately said: "Mr. Liu Hui, I am not I didn't intend to spy on the secrets of your Star Group, I just learned about it by accident. You know, a 90-year-old man always pays attention to news about his health, and the old Superman's physical behavior is unreasonable , that’s why I started to pay attention to him, so I learned the secret of your company. I came here this time to hope that your Starry Sky Group can perform rejuvenation surgery for me like it did for the Li family in Hong Kong and the He family in Macau. As for the treatment In terms of expenses, you don’t have to worry at all, our Saudi Arabian royal family is still rich, and we will definitely be able to meet your requirements.”

Liu Hui said with a smile: "Our Star Group only performs this operation for our strategic partners, and our Star Group is not short of money now, why do you think we will perform this operation for you?"

Abdullah was startled, and was immediately overjoyed. Since Liu Hui had no objection, he agreed to treat him, and now the two parties are just bargaining.He said: "How about forming a strategic partnership between us, and we will give you priority in selling some cheap oil to you. What do you think?"

Liu Hui shook his head and said, "I'm not short of oil now, so this is not practical for me."

Seeing that Liu Hui didn't want his own oil, Abdullah was a little anxious. He didn't know what Liu Hui was thinking.In the past, the underground oil was the most important weapon in his hands. No matter how he dealt with anyone, he would try everything, but he didn't expect this weapon to lose its effect in front of Liu Hui, which made him at a loss as to what to do for a while.

Liu Hui said slowly: "I heard that His Majesty's country is very short of water, is it true?"

Abdullah did not know the meaning of Liu Hui's question, but Liu Hui's words clearly touched his pain point. He sighed: "Most parts of our country are deserts, and the annual rainfall is very small. The whole country has no rain. A river, and our country’s current population growth rate is very fast, so we are very, very short of water, and the funds spent on fresh water alone exceed 50 billion US dollars every year. But even so, we are still very short of water, That fresh water is simply not going to meet the needs of our country."

Liu Hui said: "I heard that half of the world's seawater desalination plants are built in your country. Is this true?"

Abdullah nodded and said: "Yes, but even so, our domestic water supply is still very short. Even our capital, Riyadh, supplies water once every three days. We need more desalination plants. Allah is giving When it took away our oil, it took away our water."

Liu Hui smiled and said, "Your Majesty, why don't we let Star Group provide you with desalinated fresh water!"

Abdullah was stunned and said, "But your Star Group has never been engaged in seawater desalination business. How can you meet our country's huge demand for fresh water? I'm sorry, I'm not questioning you, I just think it's a little strange."

Liu Hui said with a smile: "Your Majesty, our Star Group did not engage in seawater desalination business before. It was because we could engage in too many industries, so we never thought of seawater desalination. In fact, our seawater desalination technology is already very advanced. I have matured. After meeting with His Majesty the King today, I suddenly felt that our Star Group should also engage in this seawater desalination project that can benefit the people of the world."

Abdullah thought for a while and said, "Mr. Liu Hui, if the price of desalinated seawater from Starry Sky Group is too high, even if you are willing to perform this rejuvenation operation for me, I cannot agree to your condition."

Abdullah is the king of Saudi Arabia, so he is very proficient in desalination technology.He saw that Xingkong Group had never engaged in seawater desalination before, so he was not at ease with Xingkong Group's technology. Even if Xingkong Group could carry out seawater desalination, the price would definitely be very high.So he was afraid that Liu Hui would use this opportunity to rejuvenate him to supply water to Saudi Arabia at a high price, so he declared it in advance.

Liu Hui said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured that the technology of our Star Group is absolutely reliable, and the price of desalinated water is definitely much cheaper than that of other companies. Of course, as long as you agree to let us supply desalinated water to your country , then we have a basis for cooperation, and let our experts negotiate the rest!"

Abdullah immediately felt relieved when he heard that Liu Hui was willing to negotiate in accordance with the normal business negotiation model instead of directly obtaining special permission from himself.In any case, as long as it is something that can be put on the table, the final result will not be too outrageous, he said with a smile: "Naturally it should be so."

Liu Hui smiled and said, "Since we already have a basis for cooperation, let's talk about the rejuvenation surgery now!"
