Chapter 235: Research on the Project Entrusted by Ye Hua
Li Mingjie and three other scholars and professors listened to Ye Hua's words. After a while, Professor Ding Yi asked curiously: "Mr. Ye, what kind of cross-regional trade does your company want to do in the Middle East? Electrical products or other
?For us to do research on such a project, we also need to know where you are going to do business, and what geographical impacts different parameters will have."
Old Professor Chen Xuan nodded and added: "If you are just making electrical products, there shouldn't be much of a problem, or even nothing to research. Unless you are designing military industry or doing energy business, that is another matter."
At this time, Ye Hua smiled and said: "Of course we have to make electrical products. We have already signed big orders in Dubai, including but not limited to this. What I really want to know is, if Coastline Company provides seawater desalination equipment to Middle Eastern countries,
What impact will it have?"
"Desalination?" The three professors and scholars looked at each other.
Seeing this, Ye Hua added: "Our company is currently developing a brand-new seawater desalination system. This emerging technology does not require energy consumption. At the same time, it does not require the configuration of large equipment to generate a strong electric field, which can make seawater
The desalination process is more convenient and effective... Let's put it this way, if there is a seawater desalination system provided by us in the middle, and seawater is on the left, it only needs to naturally flow through the equipment in the middle, and the water on the right can be drank directly."
"What?"
As soon as these words came out, the three old professors were shocked. Ding Yi asked in shock: "Is there really such technical equipment?"
Ye Hua nodded and said affirmatively: "It has the ability to be applied on a large scale. I can give a positive answer to this point. It's just a matter of time and it won't be too long. It will definitely be put into practical application before the end of this year."
Li Mingjie exclaimed in amazement: "This technology is so critical. Not to mention the great impact it will have on the geography of the Middle East. Even the northern part of our country lacks fresh water resources. With this kind of seawater desalination technology, the country's greater North China region lacks fresh water resources."
The water problem will be completely solved by desalinizing seawater directly from the Bohai Sea."
Compared with the shock caused by the three scholars learning about it for the first time, Ye Hua was quite relaxed and said with a smile: "So this time I need three people to do this project. To be precise, this seawater desalination system is in commercial use."
We will encounter a series of major challenges in the process of globalization, both domestically and abroad, especially in the Middle East.”
The three old scholars immediately looked at each other and whispered to each other. After a while, they all nodded. Ye Hua was also very patient.
"Old Chen, are you sure? Your body and bones..." Li Mingjie hesitated after hearing this. Old Professor Chen Xuan said with a cheerful smile: "My body and bones are very good. I can just go to Europe for the inspection. I'll go back.
At the end of the trip to Yise, we exchanged details when we returned to China. The domestic topics will be left to you two and I will provide guidance. The foreign topics will be led by me and you will provide guidance."
Listening to the discussion of the three of them, Ye Hua felt embarrassed. After all, they were all getting older. He smiled and said: "I am going to allocate 20 million for this project. If it is not enough, you can talk to my assistant Qiao Wei, who is also
Group leader.”
The three old scholars were extremely surprised when they heard this, and Ding Yi quickly said: "20 million is really too much, and 2 million may not even be used. We who do geoeconomics academics are no better than burning money for scientific research, and we don't have so many project funds."
of."
Ye Hua said too much when he opened his mouth like this, but it also made him admire these three old people even more. These are the real scholars, who are dedicated to learning and indifferent to fame and fortune.
In fact, they really don't care about money and fame. The state provides all the basic necessities for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and they have no shortage of material things.
In Ye Hua's eyes, let alone 2 million, even 20 million is no different from an ordinary person's 20 yuan in his current concept of wealth.
"Two million won't do. Just say that Mr. Chen is going to a place like the Middle East. Necessary safety guarantees must be in place. Doing field examinations requires money, so that's it. If there is any need for funds for this project, please directly
Just ask Qiao Wei, the company is not short of money."
When the three scholars heard Ye Hua's decision, they didn't say anything more. Anyway, it would be the same if the budget had a surplus by then.
"Mr. Ye, I want to ask you, the seawater desalination system developed by your company is so critical. Its energy is enough to become our country's heavyweight in the Middle East, and it can gain great benefits for our country in international competitions.
At this point, Professor Ding Yi paused for a while and looked at Ye Hua again: "So I wonder if I can reveal this news to the country? Will this involve the current commercial secrets of Coastline Company?
And business strategic layout issues? If it’s inconvenient, I don’t have to say it, but I personally strongly recommend that you report it to the country.”
All three of them have worked at the National Strategic Research Center. Ding Yi obviously quickly put the emergence of this desalination system in the national interest, but at the same time he was employed by the coastline company.
If it involves Coastline Company's business secrets, he can't tell.
Upon hearing this, Ye Hua smiled calmly and said: "I would have reported it even if you didn't tell me. In fact, Coastline Company is engaged in cross-border trade. Without strong support and escort from the country, it would be difficult to do business."
War is a continuation of politics, and politics is a continuation of economy. Transnational trade is always inseparable from the international struggle between countries. Whether it is a coastline company or other domestic companies, they go out and engage in cross-border trade.
What it represents is the interests of the Chinese people overseas.
"That's good, then I feel confident." Professor Ding Yi said with a smile and nodded.
Even if Professor Ding Yi had not mentioned this matter in advance, Ye Hua would have gone to the relevant departments to report the situation. There are huge interests to be gained in the Middle East, but at the same time, the situation there is too complicated, and it would be too complicated to turn into a pot of paste.
Not an exaggeration.
Under such circumstances, Ye Hua cannot rashly do business with the local area. If it conflicts with the country's New Silk Road strategy, it will be very uncomfortable.
The two sides talked for about ten minutes, and then the three scholars said goodbye and left. Ding Yi flew here specially from Kyoto. Professor Li Mingjie teaches at Shangdu Fuda, just outside his home. Professor Chen Xuan is now retired.
He is quite leisurely. After his retirement, some TV financial programs often invited him to be a guest on the program, but they all took advantage of his authority to deceive people.
As for Mr. Chen, a truly learned person, he would naturally despise this kind of behavior. After retirement, he would set up a potted plant at home and do his own learning.
He is also a resolute person. After confirming the research project entrusted by Ye Hua, he immediately made plans to fly to Europe, with the pretext of communicating with a group of local economists.
As for why we have to go to Europe to study the Middle East issues, this is the power of knowledgeable people.
middle East!
See the essence through the phenomenon.
The root of the problems in the Middle East is actually not in the Middle East, but in the West, so of course we should fly to Europe!
The Middle East is not the Middle East for Middle Easterners. Rough words are not rough. This is a realistic problem that is unacceptable but unavoidable.
As time goes by, and after entering the second half of 2021, in accordance with the strategic guidelines set by Ye Hua, the most important thing the company will do in the second half of this year is to spend 600 billion.
How to spend it specifically? This is really not an easy task. The big boss left this problem to the senior management. He Hao and the others were also very troubled. There was too much money and they had to spend it reasonably within half a year. This was a problem.
It is a kind of happy trouble, but the trouble of happiness is also very troublesome.
