Chapter 152: Iraq Without Electric Heat
PS: 180 monthly tickets plus updates.
—————
Aziz is not a fool, how could he not understand what Cai Ruichen meant.
Idris was originally with Cai Ruichen, and the Marin town controlled by Idris does not mean that Cai Ruichen controlled it.
To avoid speaking of flagrant resistance to the tax, the tax is still paid, but to the tax department of the town, which is controlled by Idris.
And the money finally returned to Cai Ruichen's hands. After paying the tax, it also returned to the taxpayer's hands again.
Isn't that the same as not paying taxes? But it is because of such a change of hands that it has put on a tax-paying coat.
Is the Iraqi government going to unlock the rules of this dark game?
Tell everyone that Iraq has an agreement with all the tribal and clan armed forces. Is the control of most areas actually in the hands of these tribal armed forces and clan armed forces?
This will completely collapse the image of the Iraqi government, leaving nothing left.
If it is an ordinary person, it is naturally impossible for the Iraqi government to agree, and there is no need to disclose these hidden rules and directly use force.
It is impossible for ordinary armed forces to stop the attack of the Iraqi government forces.
But Marin Town is completely different. Not only does the elder Muhammad exist, but there is also Cai Ruichen who currently needs the support of the Iraqi government, let alone use swords rashly.
At this moment, no matter how reluctant Aziz was, he had no choice but to accept it. He even began to think about how to persuade his president.
"By the way, is Minister Aziz's arrival just for tax matters?" Seeing that Aziz's face was changing, but even if he didn't speak, Cai Ruichen didn't bother to continue spending time with him, so he spoke directly.
"Of course not. After all, I am the Minister of Commerce, not the Director of the Taxation Bureau." Aziz put away all his thoughts, and immediately said, "I am here this time to represent the Iraqi government. I hope that I can talk to Mr. Cai. cooperating."
"Which aspect of cooperation?" Cai Ruichen said with some interest.
"Before we talk about cooperation, can I ask Mr. Cai a question?" Aziz said.
"Excuse me?" Cai Ruichen asked.
"Where is the power station of the future power company built? What methods are used to generate electricity? Is the power stable?" Aziz asked three questions in one breath.
Cai Ruichen was really surprised by Aziz's question, but he did not hesitate. He replied directly: "Our company is based on the development of high-tech industries. Electricity is one of the standards of industrialization. The development of electric energy is naturally the first project that our company must complete;
To be honest with Mr. Aziz, we are a generator set that uses magnetic energy to generate electricity. The power is fairly stable, but the cost of power generation requires a lot of investment in advance. At present, our company is also developing kite power generation projects, drone solar power generation, and is still exploring the technical possibility of geothermal power generation.
In the next few years, such as kite power generation or drone solar power generation, construction will start one after another, and there will be a steady stream of clean power generation.
The clean utilization of natural resources is what the Group has always pursued, and it is also one of the corporate cultures of our company. "
Cai Ruichen talked eloquently, and even introduced to Aziz the power energy projects that may be developed in the future.
Electricity is the foundation of a country's industrial capabilities. Without sufficient power industry, let alone the development of industry, factories cannot start operation.
Not to mention heavy industries that rely heavily on electricity, without electricity, everything is useless.
It's just that Aziz is not a technical person and doesn't understand so much about what Cai Ruichen said, but it sounds quite high.
This question was just asked by him routinely, and he didn't really want to understand it.
"The thing is like this. Mr. Cai should know that the Iraqi government is currently facing a shortage of electricity. We also learned that the electricity in Marin Town is actually provided by your company. And there are plans to transmit electricity to surrounding towns. Is that right?" Aziz asked.
"That's right, because the residents in Marin Town's electricity is unstable, we have enough generators ourselves. In order to take care of the daily life of the workers, we provide them with electricity." Cai Ruichen didn't deny it, but simply said Admit it.
"Then, may I ask if the future power company has any surplus electricity for the Iraqi government?" Aziz asked.
"Oh." Cai Ruichen was really surprised when he heard the words, but he didn't show it, but looked like he was thinking. After a long silence, he said when Aziz was a little nervous: "Yes, yes, yes. But a lot of power generation, cost issues..."
Having said this, there is no need for Cai Ruichen to continue talking, Aziz naturally understood, and interjected very consciously: "We will pay the corresponding power generation fee."
"Then how much electricity do you need?" Cai Ruichen asked.
"One million kilowatt-hours per day." Aziz directly stated the demand, and only when such a power generation capacity is achieved can the Iraqi government be able to continue to provide electricity to the national grid.
Combined with the current power stations controlled by the government, it is also able to ensure that the factories controlled by the government can operate at full capacity as usual.
"One million kilowatt-hours per day, to be honest, it's too much." Cai Ruichen didn't immediately agree, but said with some embarrassment: "Our current power unit can't provide so much extra power at all."
Speaking of which, Aziz was already a little disappointed, but Cai Ruichen's next words gave him a glimmer of hope.
"But since I plan to develop my business in Iraq, I can't sit idly by and ignore the large number of Iraqis. Because there is no electricity supply, I can only endure the extreme heat. In order to prevent more people from being heated to death, we will ensure that there are as soon as possible no matter how difficult it is. The power supply of one million kilowatt-hours per day is allocated to the national power grid by the government." Cai Ruichen said righteously.
The situation in Iraq today is indeed not optimistic. Electricity cannot be supplied, and many people have been killed by heat.
It's just that these people are almost all old people, and there are also children.
With a high temperature of forty-five degrees Celsius at noon during the day, even adults will suffer from heat stroke at any time, let alone the elderly and children.
After all, not all families can afford generators out of pocket.
It is not surprising that the heat is dead, otherwise the Iraqi government would not have come to find Cai Ruichen. Indeed, the matter has reached a serious point.
Aziz looked joyful, and was about to prepare some words to thank Cai Ruichen for his character, but Cai Ruichen's next words almost made him jump up. (To be continued.)
