Chapter 672 The Royal Family’s Determination 1

Prince Sultan did not go home in the evening, after the meeting. He was called over by the crown prince again, and the two of them wanted to discuss how to negotiate with Bao Zixuan. The most important thing is that he doesn't know how much money this young man needs. Crown Prince Abdullah wants Prince Sultan to test it again.

Prince Sultan also meant to create opportunities for the two young people. The opportunities have been created, and the rest depends on fate and God's will.

The royal family member who has the best relationship with Bao Zixuan in Saudi Arabia is none other than Prince Sultan, and Bao Zixuan lives in his home. Saudi Arabia needs the technology mentioned by Bao Zixuan, and currently it can only let Sultan do the preliminary communication.

Although the two parties have a good basis for cooperation, everyone also knows that Saudi Arabia's natural environment is really poor. It’s not advisable to force Heiyun Group to continue investing too much, as that would stalemate the relationship. However, many technologies are developed exclusively and are unlikely to be purchased directly. So far, Bao Zixuan has not sold any technology patents. At most, it has only exchanged technology patents.

However, Saudi Arabia is no better than Japan, Germany, and the United States. It does not have the technical reserves that it can use. Now it has such a small technical background that Bao Zixuan would not be interested in it.

Moreover, Bao Zixuan also said that many scientific research projects are not suitable for commercial use. This requires huge capital investment, and it is normal for Saudi Arabia to be worried.

The richest man Bao has successfully whetted the appetite of the Saudi royal family, and the rest will be much simpler. At present, it just depends on the sincerity of both parties and how much demand Bao Zixuan has.

Saudis get up very late and rarely eat breakfast; of course, Bao Zixuan's visit is an exception. Prince Sultan chatted with the Crown Prince until 4 a.m. last night before going to bed, and the two royal leaders did not get up until noon.

Aisha wanted to prove herself, so she went back to the TV station to post-produce the interview in the evening. This process is very simple. It just requires a simple soundtrack for some links, then adds some content at the beginning and end of the film, and finally adds subtitles and it is complete.

In this era, American television production is very simple, let alone Saudi Arabia. However, Ayesha was not at home all night, which disappointed Prince Sultan for all his hard work. Maybe the old man thinks too much, and nothing can happen even if the two of us are at home.

There are very few entertainment projects in this era, and Saudi Arabia is the richest country in the Middle East. The royal family is still very good to its citizens. It can be said that all citizens of the country are given free TV sets.

The Saudis have a habit of watching TV when they get up at noon to eat. Of course, don’t think too much about TV series, news can still satisfy you.

Bao Zixuan's sunny image, legendary stories, and super genius are widely spread around the world, and everyone who comes to Saudi Arabia for inspection knows it. I just didn’t expect to be interviewed by Saudi national television and have such a good impression of Saudi Arabia.

The Arab nation is also very hospitable, and the strong will be respected in this world. Now the powerful are expressing goodwill while also recognizing Saudi Arabia. Bao Shaofu has become popular in Saudi Arabia, and many people want to get to know this super rich man from Xiangjiang.

Crown Prince Abdullah and Prince Sultan also saw Aisha's exclusive interview with Bao Zixuan, and now they have shown enough goodwill. They cannot remain silent, although it is a risk for both parties. However, in terms of long-term benefits, it is still more beneficial to Saudi Arabia. If successful, Saudi Arabia can transform from a single economic form to a multiple economic form.

Just after the interview ended, the Crown Prince and Prince Sultan received a call from the King. The King of Saudi Arabia's intention is very clear. Saudi Arabia can make appropriate concessions and proceed from the long-term interests; do not care too much about immediate gains and losses, and must be prepared for a rainy day.

The King of Saudi Arabia not only saw the goodwill shown by Bao Zixuan, but as a country's ruler, he would not only focus on one aspect. What's more, we can see Bao Zixuan's understanding of scientific research. Only by continuous investment and research and development can we achieve results.

When you find a problem, you have to solve it. If it's too late, you can only eat what others have left. Even if the investment fails, Saudi Arabia can afford to lose money, but if you don't invest in Saudi Arabia, you will still have to rely on oil, which is even more risky.

With the king taking a stand, the two men knew what to do. The top three figures in the country have reached a consensus, and others dare not say anything more. If the objection does not offend one person, it is likely to be isolated or even abandoned by the entire royal family.

Bao Zixuan didn't expect that Saudi Arabia's national television station would work with such efficiency, which was a bit impressive. But what he didn't know was that it was mainly Princess Ayesha who wanted to prove herself. If it were someone else doing the interview, the staff wouldn't be working so hard.

In the morning, Bao Zixuan was taken to the construction site, and Mike Briffen gave him a detailed report on the progress of the project. The overall feeling is pretty good, but the shortage of water and electricity needs to be solved urgently.

Crown Prince Abdullah and Prince Sultan came to the villa and found out that Bao Zixuan had gone to the construction site. They recognized this professional attitude very much, because the children of the Saudi royal family may have just woken up at this time.

Crown Prince Abdullah: "Is it that the living conditions of us Saudis are too superior? Look at the lack of motivation to fight at all."

In fact, Prince Sultan also knew the reason, but there were too many interests and too many members involved, so he did not dare to say anything more. Even as the third most powerful person in the country, he does not dare to offend too many people.

Prince Sultan: "Wealthier than you, smarter than you, and harder than you. This is an opportunity. Saudi Arabia needs to invest a lot of money in recent years if it wants to transform. It can appropriately lower the quality of life. Of course, this is just a suggestion. , the country cannot afford it without changing.”

I knew that Sultan didn't dare to say anything, as that would offend a lot of people. If you want to truly promote reform, you also need the support of the king. The first priority right now is to negotiate with Bao Zixuan, and we will wait for the results of the negotiations to come out.

Although he came out alone, the royal guards were still there to protect him. After receiving the notice, he quickly reported to Bao Zixuan and learned that the Crown Prince and Prince Sultan were waiting for him at home. Bao Zixuan was ecstatic, it seemed that it was time for the results to come out.

When Bao Zixuan arrived at the villa, Prince Sultan and the Crown Prince were already in the living room. It seems that Saudi Arabia is more anxious than him, which is good news. But don't be greedy, just do whatever is right.

Bao Zixuan: "I'm sorry to keep you two waiting."

Crown Prince Abdullah smiled and said: "Don't say that. It's wrong that we didn't say hello in advance before we came. And after all, we are also hosts, so it is natural to wait."

Bao Zixuan didn't expect the Saudi Crown Prince to be so polite. Are all members of the royal family like this?

In fact, respect is mutual, if Bao Zixuan does not have Heiyun Group, huge wealth, or the technology that Saudi Arabia needs. People would not be so polite. Not everyone deserves to be treated like this by the Saudi royal family.

Bao Zixuan: "I am very grateful to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his understanding. The royal family can have such an attitude. It seems that Heiyun Group's investment in Saudi Arabia is the right choice."

Crown Prince Abdullah gave Prince Sultan a look that meant you want to speak! You can't let me say it alone, you are most familiar with each other here.

Sultan understood it and said with a smile: "Mr. Bao, we are all old friends. You have seen Saudi Arabia's sincerity. The royal family wants to know how much investment is needed according to the entire plan, and how many consecutive years it will take; when will each project be completed?" It will generate revenue.”

"We need to have a figure in mind to see whether the Saudi economy can support such a huge plan."

Bao Zixuan knew that the Saudi royal family was starting to get serious, so being able to ask this question, and coming with the country's second- and third-ranking figures, spoke volumes in itself.

It seems that the Saudi royal family wants to invest in all projects, and now it depends on the appetite of Heiyun Group.

Fortunately, Bao Zixuan was prepared and said seriously: "We must solve the water and electricity problems in the early stage; the investment in the seawater desalination plant is about 1 billion US dollars. After completion, it can produce 3.3 million cubic meters of fresh water every day, which can meet the needs of 5 million people. Basic life and work. It can also guarantee some industrial water. In other words, by building such a desalination plant, Riyadh will no longer have to worry about the supply of fresh water."

"At the same time, the salt, calcium carbonate and other substances produced can also meet the needs of 5 million people."

"The equipment can run for more than 20 years, during which some parts need to be replaced; the total cost is estimated to be about 1.5 billion US dollars. At the same time, 800 engineering and technical personnel are needed for maintenance and operation, and the annual labor cost is about 20 million US dollars. Electricity consumption is 8 million US dollars per day. Kilowatt-hour, based on natural gas power generation of US$0.2 per kilowatt-hour, the annual electricity bill is approximately US$576 million.”

"That is to say, the water fee per cubic meter will be approximately US$0.6. Of course, there will be some losses during the period. Overall, the water fee per cubic meter will not exceed US$1, which is within the scope of the plan."

After hearing this number, the two important members of the Saudi royal family felt that it was very feasible and the price was really acceptable. Even if the royal family does not invest in personal investment, there is no problem. The two of them are also very rich.

You can save a lot of money every year on water bills alone, and even salt can be saved by building a desalination plant. If it goes according to what Bao Zixuan said, it will definitely be a hugely profitable deal.

But everyone knows that things will not be that simple; the research and development costs of Heiyun Group have not been calculated yet, and that is the key.
