Galactic Tech Empire

Chapter 337 Warm water boiled frog

"We can give up the mining industry, but agricultural investment must be admitted." Ai Heping made a little concession.

Anyway, the Galaxy Consortium is already planning to engage in space mining, so let Blue Star's minerals rot in the ground!

Galaxy Technology does not have a good impression of the world's three major iron ore production giants, whether it is Vale, BHP Billiton, or Rio Tinto Group. When the Galaxy Consortium's space mining layout is completed, it is time for them to receive their lunch boxes.

After Green was silent for a while, he spoke after some calculations: "We can consider agricultural investment, but the premise is that you must hire our local people, and you are not allowed to hire workers from other places. In addition, we require the seawater desalination plant to maintain the amount of film. , must reach 10 years of usage”

"No, if we only hire local people, our agricultural investment is huge, and we will face a huge labor gap. Can you solve it?" Ai Heping asked rhetorically.

"How big are you going to invest?" Green asked.

"Planting and breeding, the first phase is about 1200 billion Chinese yuan. Can your local workers meet this requirement?" Ai Heping said the data.

"..." Green was obviously frightened. The first phase was 1200 billion Chinese yuan, and there must be more investment in the future. He gritted his teeth: "We can accept a 7:3 ratio between local workers and foreign workers."

"No." Ai Pingping shook his head: "The ratio of 3:7 is suitable. In addition, you must provide expedited worker visas."

"3:7 is too high, we take a step back, how about 5:5?"

Ai Heping frowned and thought about it, then nodded: "We can accept 5:5, what about the express worker visa?"

"We can provide a fast-track visa for three months."

"My God, are you kidding?" Ai Heping pretended to be surprised: "What can you do in three months? Do those workers have to go back to China every three months to renew their visas? At least one year."

"NO! NO! One year is too long, half a year at most." Another negotiator from Australia said.

"We backed down a bit, ten months."

"No, seven months at most."

"Each compromise, eight months."

After whispering to each other for a while, Greene nodded: "Yes, but we just mentioned about the amount of film in the desalination plant."

"Ten years is too long, three years at most." Ai Heping squinted his eyes and replied.

As for why Tuao agreed to store seawater desalination membranes, it was because the Galaxy consortium planned to cheat them by taking the semi-finished seawater desalination membranes there, deliberately lacking two key processing techniques, and the semi-finished products could not be used.

Since the seawater desalination plant is managed by Dongyin Water Affairs, the local area only has the right to supervise at most. Anyway, every time the membrane is replaced, the holographic stealth robot is allowed to complete the remaining two processes of the membrane. In this way, Tuao cannot These films were found to be semi-finished products.

Once they want to play the trick of forced takeover, not only will they have to face the revenge of the Galaxy Consortium, but they will only get some semi-finished films.

However, it is a full set of dramas, and of course negotiations must be fought with words and arguments.

"Three years is too short to secure our water supply, at least eight years," Green retorted.

"Three years is already our biggest concession, not even a camel in the sand."

"..."

The two sides kept grinding their teeth, and finally determined the film retention at 6 years, and the Turkish and Australian side requested to check the film retention at any time.

Ai Heping smiled and agreed. Anyway, the film looks exactly the same on the outside, and they can't pull the film out for testing. It's better that they don't have any careful thoughts, otherwise they will definitely be overwhelmed.

The Galaxy Consortium intends to slowly infiltrate the entire Tu'ao by boiling frogs in warm water. As the power of the Mi Li family in the world continues to fade, it will withdraw its focus to the Americas and Western Europe.

The most influential forces in Asia are Dongtang and Yinhe Technology. As the Oceania region that is separated from Asia, it is naturally within the influence of Dongtang and Yinhe Technology.

In a few years, it will not be boiling frogs in warm water, but the overlord will force himself to bow.

Therefore, agricultural investment and seawater desalination plants must enter Tuao, making them rely on fresh water from Dongyin Water and a large number of local workers.

Who will have the final say at that time will depend on the mood of Dongtang and Yinhe Technology.

Negotiations between the two sides went on for more than ten days, and finally reached a final agreement.

……

Due to the urgency of the Turkish and Australian side, once the agreement was signed, Dong Yin Water was required to build a seawater desalination plant as soon as possible after changing the procrastination of the Freedom Council.

Tuao and Dongyin Water Group jointly established Oceania Water Group, Dongyin Water holds 30% of the shares (does not participate in management, only collects money). Oceania Water Group is directly managed by the Tuao Water Resources Department, and the president is the original Tuao Undersecretary of Water Resources Lange Austin.

10 month 2 day.

Lange Austin, President of Oceania Water Group, Ralph Lauren, Minister of Water Resources, Zhu Jianguo of Dongyin Water Group, Fang Ping and Zhang Haifeng of Haifeng Wind Power Company are on a temporary wharf.

This is the eastern coast of Queensland, near a small town called Ayr.

Raff stepped on the temporary pier, and he was shocked by it. This temporary pier covering an area of ​​more than 6 square meters, if you don't say it, who knows that it only took three days to build.

"Mr. Zhu, the power supply equipment is ready. I wonder when the ship will arrive?" Lange asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, there is still about half an hour!" Zhu Jianguo looked at the time and replied.

The ship they mentioned is indeed a temporary seawater desalination ship developed by Dongyin Water. Just one ship can produce 500 million cubic meters of fresh water a day.

Of course, the premise is that the power supply equipment and fresh water pipelines have been prepared.

Fortunately, Tu'ao has a lot of water pipelines on the east coast. These water pipelines used to supply fresh water from the east coast to the Great Artesian Basin on the west side of the Great Dividing Range.

Planet Group has quickly built three temporary piers on the east coast of Queensland, and quickly laid pipelines to connect with the previous water pipelines or reservoirs in Tuao.

"Your efficiency is awesome." Raff said enviously.

"Yes!" Lange on the side was also amazed.

If they let their domestic companies come, they may not know whether they can get a dock next year, let alone lay dozens of kilometers of water pipelines and power supply equipment in more than a week.

"These are temporary. The water supply efficiency of seawater desalination ships is not good enough, and large-scale seawater desalination plants must be built." Zhu Jianguo replied with a smile.

"Mr. Lange, your plan should be completed as soon as possible. Our wind power equipment will arrive in about half a month. Don't let the equipment wait for the site." Fang Ping also reminded.

"Okay, I'll coordinate with the land management department as soon as possible." Lange replied with some embarrassment.

They had heard about the speed of the Dongtang people for a long time, and when they saw it today, it was astonishingly fast.

If it weren't for the worsening drought in the country, and the continuous wildfires in the Great Dividing Range recently, hundreds of koalas in nature reserves would have been roasted.

That's why they changed their sluggish pace. Otherwise, at the speed of their three-year discussion, the desalination plant is estimated to not be put into operation until the year of the monkey.
