Xiangjiang giants

Chapter 10 Negotiations
After pondering for a while, An Yifei said, "Mr. Liang, this is related to the size of the equipment. According to the current manufacturing level of electromechanical products, I can design a daily equipment of 260000 cubic meters. If I manufacture ten sets, it will satisfy a city with a population of tens of millions. The average daily water demand is not a problem”

"This..." Both Liang and Hong were skeptical, but if it was true, then the fresh water supply problem on Hong Kong Island would be completely solved, and a thorn in the governor's heart would be pulled out.

In the 60s and early 70s, Hong Kong invested a lot of money in the creation of harbor freshwater lakes. Unfortunately, the fresh water stored in the end can only be called "light seawater", which can be regarded as thankless; and then the Dongjiang water from the mainland was also introduced, which is a pity. , That also depends on the face of God.

After many efforts, the fresh water crisis in Hong Kong Island can only be slightly reduced. At this time, An Yifei said that the fresh water problem in Hong Kong Island can be completely solved, of course, Liang Jiaping and the two are not sure right away.

An Yifei knew that what he said was incomprehensible, so he could only briefly introduce: "My technology consumes very little power and can turn sea water into fresh water very quickly. If the Hong Kong government agrees, I can set up my own fresh water plant alone. Only responsible for fresh water output, you pay according to the volume, how about it?"

Liang Jiaping's eyes lit up. He saw extreme confidence in An Yifei's eyes. Besides, let him build a fresh water plant by himself. The Hong Kong government will buy fresh water from the plant without any investment, lay some pipelines, and connect to the water network. That's fine, this is the best way of cooperation acceptable to both parties.

"This is the best, Mr. An. The Hong Kong government will give the most preferential support for the construction of freshwater plants. I wonder which area you want to belong to?"

"Tseung Kwan O", An Yifei smiled slightly, that is where the Shaw Brothers studios are located, so of course he has to draw a piece of land for the future.

After ordering Liu Fen to bring a map of Hong Kong Island, An Yifei pointed to an area he had visited a few days ago and said, "Mr. Liang, my freshwater plant does not need a large storage tank, but it is necessary to keep a certain transitional tank. Therefore, the area should not be too small, but it must save a lot compared to the Wanyi Reservoir under construction. I don’t have a lot of money, so I ask the Hong Kong government to save me a little. You must know that the cost of purchasing machinery and equipment is not small.”

This is not the era of large-scale real estate development on Hong Kong Island. Land prices in places like Tseung Kwan O and Clear Water Bay are extremely cheap, and what An Yifei asked for was another piece of rural land, although the area he asked for exceeded 100 acres (more than 40 square meters) ), but Liang Jiaping did not show any embarrassment.If An Yifei can really solve the problem of fresh water supply on Hong Kong Island, let alone a 100-acre plot, even half of the Clear Water Bay Peninsula will be no problem.

There are no buildings in the plot An Yifei chose. Although it is not directly facing the south, but fortunately the area is large, and it can be used for anything in the future.In fact, the instrument that depicts the water collection array does not need any water storage tank at all. With a little ingenious design of the pipeline, the excess fresh water can be discharged into the sea without anyone noticing, and there is no problem of overproduction.Moreover, the ten water collection arrays are designed for cities with a population of tens of millions. Today's Hong Kong Island only has more than 300 million people, and it is enough to turn on up to four instruments at most.

An Yifei was not in a hurry at all, on the contrary, he should be in a hurry to say goodbye to Liang Jiaping, the Hong Kong government just took out a piece of land, and invested in the rest.We must know that from the 60s to An Yifei's own era, fresh water was the main problem that troubled the Hong Kong government, and the accumulated investment every year was incalculable.

The vicinity of Clear Water Bay Peninsula was chosen because it is the film and television base of Hong Kong Island. Although An Yifei chose an unusually remote location, it is not far from Shaw Brothers Film and Television City and the so-called "Wutai Mountain".Radio Hong Kong, Commercial Radio, Asia TV, TVB TV and Jiayi TV are gathered near Tseung Kwan O. This "Wutai" mountain will be an area where stars will gather in the 90s and [-]s in the future. How can we not make arrangements early?
"Jiaping, how sure do you think this Mr. An is?" The governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose, is very concerned about this matter. Since becoming the governor of Hong Kong, this inspiring Sir has indeed made great contributions to Hong Kong. Many practical things, starting from the "clean government storm", led the economic take-off of Hong Kong Island, and he is a very accomplished Hong Kong Governor.

"Your Excellency, those people from the Intellectual Property Office saw him operate the equipment to convert fresh water, but the equipment he applied for was imitated and was useless. There must be some mechanism in it that we don't know. And this time, he once again showed full strength. Confidence, I don't think anyone will make such a joke. Besides, we have almost no loss except for the discount and land, so why not do it?"

MacLehose smiled bitterly, "Well, if he succeeds there, the half-built Wanyi Reservoir will become a decoration." He walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked at the sky outside, "The problem of Hong Kong Island is fresh water. Population pressure is increasing, the fresh water supply has been solved, and the economic take-off is coming. You are right, Jiaping, we will use a piece of land that we can’t escape, and invite Jiang An over another day. I want to meet He will make the final decision."

Liang Jiaping knew that the Wanyi Reservoir was built with a loan from the Hong Kong government, so it was difficult to answer.But he knows that MacLehose is a practical person, and he will not deny better solutions just because of interests.Immediately agreed: "Okay, Your Excellency, which day do you think is suitable?"

"The day after tomorrow afternoon, the sooner this matter can be resolved, the better. As far as I know, this little guy has brought a lot of gold from there, and he has already sold it. He has a lot of funds in his hand. It is no problem to build a factory."

Liang Jiaping was actually ready to find a loan for An Yifei, his eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was even more sure that this was not a joke.

An Yifei put aside the matter of the freshwater plant for the time being. If the land is half-sold and half-given away, in fact, he does not need to invest too much, that is, a few factories, water storage tanks and other ancillary small equipment. On the basis of prices, the full cost is more than 1000 million Hong Kong dollars.

After the investment, each machine will be calculated according to the output of 2200000 million cubic meters per day. If four machines are turned on, the output will be 8800000 million cubic meters per day. Even if it is calculated at 1 Hong Kong dollar per cubic meter, in addition to taxes, it will be millions of Hong Kong dollars in income every day. , The water price on Hong Kong Island was free before 12 cubic meters, but then gradually increased according to the consumption, and the highest can reach more than 10 Hong Kong dollars per cubic meter.Not only can An Yifei lie at home and count money to play, but the Hong Kong government will also get a huge amount of income, after all, the big head still belongs to them.

An Yifei, who is waiting for Huang Yangwu to come, is actually not afraid of the Hong Kong government’s disapproval. Nowadays, a large number of immigrants come to Hong Kong every day, and the population pressure is gradually increasing. In the future, the population of this city will gradually reach 800 million, and it is estimated that it will be tens of millions. no problem.In addition to food, clothing, housing and transportation, fresh water is an important strategic resource, and no one will ignore its importance.

Liu Fen interrupted his thinking, "A Fei, Mr. Huang is here." After staying in the villa for a while, this housekeeper-like woman gradually faded the color on her face and became round and attractive. The woman's gentleness is also increasingly revealed. She is smart and has learned fluent Cantonese, and has completely integrated into life on Hong Kong Island.

Glancing at A Fen, who was wearing a traditional printed cloth dress, An Yifei thought of his hometown for no reason, the cradle of beautiful mountains and rivers and criss-crossing fields. "Well, Ah Fen, let's make tea"

Liu Fen, who walked into the kitchen, took a deep breath and muttered in a low voice, "You are so young, but you look like my father, what a strange guy."

In the living room, Huang Yangwu flipped through the manuscript papers that An Yifei had packed in bamboo baskets in shock. This kind of bamboo baskets were much more expensive than machine-made file boxes, and the special paint could also give the paper a scent. An Yifei's beautiful pen running script is as precious to Huang Yangwu as a basket of gold.

"A Fei, it's amazing, and I looked at the front. Although it is said to be a martial arts, it takes another shortcut. It's amazing."

"Come on, brother Wu, don't praise me. What about the manuscript fee this time?"

"A Fei, of course I will give you a thousand words and a thousand yuan. Also, the serialization of the first novel is about to be completed. If you don't have time for this publication, can our newspaper contact you? It only takes some hard work, copyright and so on your"

In the future, the film and television business will definitely have to deal with the media, so An Yifei readily agreed to Huang Yangwu's request for a [-]% newspaper commission. Finding someone to do things also costs money, right?Save yourself the trouble.

Huang Yangwu left, and An Yifei received a call from Liang Jiaping, "Sir wants to see me? Okay, no problem."

After hanging up the phone, An Yifei happily jumped on the spot, "Yes, it's done", making Liu Fen, who was secretly observing him, smile secretly: "You are still young."

Whether it is An Yifei herself, sister Zhong Chuhong, or Liu Fen, they are all relatively traditional Chinese, and they will not learn the Western housekeeping model.Therefore, the Republic of China costumes designed by An Yifei and sewn by Zhong's tailor shop will become the costumes of the An family's servants in the future.

Printed fabrics, a slim right lapel blouse, and loose trousers of the same color, worn on Liu Fen, who is 162 cm tall, make her look very retro, perfectly expressing the gentleness and restraint of Han women.If it weren't for the fear of being laughed at by classmates, even the Zhong Chuwen sisters would want to wear such beautiful clothes.In the original era, there was a kind of woman named Yujie. An Yifei copied the village girl in the movie to satisfy her own bad taste.He likes to be bored at home, but he also wants the women around him to be pleasing to the eye, doesn't he?
These days, Honggu rides her little electric donkey to the training class every day, looking very serious.Being a golden bird at a young age was not what she had hoped for. Her innate preference for film and television dramas made her comprehension ability quite strong.Originally because her family was poor, she couldn't continue to study, and with the help of An Yifei's funds, she went to a specialized repeat institution to start learning other knowledge.

An Yifei, who hugged each other at night, described the events of the past few days, then touched Gu Hong's round shoulders, "A Hong, if you want to help me in the future, learn more knowledge, whether it is acting or other things, when we win Jiayi, use them all"
