Chapter 720 Press Conference

"Dear viewers, good afternoon. I am the host of today's special live program. It is 3:15 pm Beijing time, and there are still 15 minutes before the press conference held by the State Council. According to the news sent back in front, our on-site reporters have entered the Great Hall of the People. Now we ask our director to cut the camera to the location of this press conference."

"Hello, everyone, you are watching the live broadcast of CCTV in the Great Hall of the People in the Great Hall of the People!

There are still 14 minutes before the press conference begins, but half an hour ago, all the reporters holding invitation letters have entered the venue. Please look behind me. There are a total of 8,876 journalists from all over the country who attended the conference today, from 973 media at home and abroad.

Until now, we still don’t know why the State Council solemnly invites mainstream media from all over the world to gather together! However, based on the consistent stability of our government, all the invited media from all over the world have come.

They and the people of the world can guess from the attitude of our government that the content to be published later is absolutely extraordinary, full of shock, and can have a profound impact on the world...

Oh my God, everyone, watch it. The spokesperson for entering the venue is not the familiar A, B, C and D, but our Prime Minister! Oh my God, what kind of shocking news is needed to be released by the Prime Minister himself..."

After a riot, the hall where nearly four thousand people gathered was silent, and everyone was waiting for the Prime Minister's speech.

"Gentlemen, ladies, and friends from the media from home and abroad, good afternoon! First of all, on behalf of the Chinese government, I would like to thank everyone for attending this press conference..." After receiving applause from a diplomatic rhetoric, the Prime Minister just got to the point: "The main reason for our holding of this press conference is to show you one of our research results... Now, please watch a short video first!"

The Prime Minister's deep voice slowly rang with the short film: "Everyone knows that without water, there is no life.

Although the earth has abundant water resources, the available freshwater resources are relatively scarce. With the rapid increase in the global population and the increase in per capita income level, the global shortage of freshwater resources is gradually emerging.

According to information provided by the United Nations, by 2025, more than half of the world's countries will face huge freshwater supply pressure and even insufficient water supply. By the middle of the 21st century, three-quarters of the world's population will face severe freshwater shortages.

A shortage of freshwater can lead to hunger, disease, social unrest and even armed conflict. Therefore, if this problem is mishandled, it will lead to a serious crisis...

Now you can see that the large-scale bloody conflict is a real event that occurred in the Jordan River Basin. The cause is that both countries claim to have the right to use the Jordan River water resources...

According to statistics, one out of every six people in the world cannot get enough fresh water, which means that the total number of people in the world who are on the thirst line exceeds 1 billion!

Taking our country as an example, although our country ranks sixth in the world in total freshwater resources, the per capita water volume is only one-quarter of the world's per capita share, ranking 110th in the world. At present, more than 200 cities in our country are short of water..."

Speaking of this, the Prime Minister paused, his face turned slightly red and said in an excited tone: "But today, I want to announce to the people of the world that China will no longer be troubled by freshwater resources in the future, and the whole world will no longer fall into the freshwater resource crisis... Because our country's scientists have successfully developed a popular seawater converter! Please see..."

After Chinese and foreign journalists finished watching the short film in amazement, the Prime Minister smiled and said, "Gentlemen, ladies, it's time to ask questions freely."

I couldn't wait, a blond foreigner stood up and shouted: "Hello, Mr. Prime Minister! I am Truman, a reporter from the Washington Post. I would like to ask, where did your country's scientists obtain the technology of seawater converters?"

The Prime Minister asked with a smile: "Mr. Truman, you seem to be questioning the research ability of our country's scientists?"

"No." Truman hesitated for a moment and explained: "Mr. Prime Minister, in fact, we in the United States have long invented the seawater converter..."

In the audience's anger, the Prime Minister asked again with a smile: "Mr. Truman, how much is the cost of your seawater converter? What is the effect?"

Truman didn't speak awkwardly, and the other reporters naturally understood that there was something wrong with it and immediately calmed down.

"If you don't know, then I'll tell you!" The Prime Minister smiled and said, "The single construction cost of your country's seawater converter requires 10 billion US dollars, and the workload of a single unit can be about 1,000 people a day for basic water use. In addition, after five consecutive months of use, your country's seawater converter needs to replace key parts, which costs 200 million US dollars each time..."

Speaking of this, the Prime Minister showed a proud smile and looked at Truman who lowered his head and dared not see anyone, saying, "You have just seen the film. The single construction cost of the seawater converter developed by China is only 100 million US dollars, and its eight hours of work is enough to meet all the daily water for 10,000 people.

Moreover, our seawater converter is very durable and needs to be replaced after three years of continuous use. The cost will not exceed five million US dollars at a time! Mr. Truman, who do you think is better than such a technology?”

Amid the sneering of the audience, Truman's head was almost buried in his big belly.

At this time, another foreigner stood up: "Hello, Mr. Prime Minister! I am Le Monde reporter Galleuf. I would like to ask if your country's seawater converter is about to be promoted to the whole world?"

"Of course." The Prime Minister nodded with certainty and said, "This is a benefit to mankind in the world. How can we apply it to the country alone?"

"That's really great!" Jialefu asked happily, "Mr. Prime Minister, I wonder when we France will be able to introduce this seawater converter?"

"This..." the Prime Minister said helplessly: "Our production capacity is limited, and we can only give priority to domestic and friendly countries at present. The rest may have to wait for a while!"

After Jialefu sat down in disappointment, an Asian man stood up again: "Hello, I am a reporter from Yomiuri Shimbun, Japan. I would like to ask, since seawater converters are beneficial to humans all over the world, why don't your country disclose its technology so that everyone can make it?"

The Prime Minister's face turned slightly red and asked in surprise: "Sir, do you want to get it for nothing? The seawater converter has been developed through countless experiments by our scientists and has taken a lot of time and money. Although we China is willing to contribute to the people of the world, the people of the world cannot be shameless and just want to ask for it but not willing to pay..."

While laughing, another reporter asked about the price of the seawater converter.

"Because seawater converters are products closely related to people all over the world, we do not intend to make high profits from them, they are basically affordable sales! Through the film, we also know that the cost of seawater converters is 100 million US dollars, while the single unit price we set is only 120 million US dollars..."

Suddenly, the audience was sensational and there was applause.

Finally, another reporter asked where to buy seawater converters and whether it is necessary to order them from the Chinese government level?

The Prime Minister shook his head and smiled: "Our Chinese government will not interfere in the sales of seawater converters, but will hand over the power of production and sales to the Lingyan Group in Shanghai!"

"May I ask, what kind of enterprise is this Lingyan Group? How much capital does it have? Does it have the background of the Chinese government?..."

Just as reporters in the press room were asking about Lingyan Group's information, Mr. Reit, chairman of the board of directors of Lingyan Group, was hugging his two exotic wives and sitting on the sofa in the chairman's suite of Diaoyutai State Guesthouse watching the live broadcast.

Reit shook his head gently and muttered: The technology of "get it for nothing" has turned into a "work result" developed by "spending a lot of time and money"! Moreover, the cost of only about 10 million US dollars has increased tenfold in his mouth. The so-called "parity" is a real huge profit...

Eva did not have as much emotion as Letter. She kissed her man on the face happily and said happily: "Lei, we have made a fortune this time. The market for seawater converters is at least one trillion US dollars!"

When Reit heard this, he couldn't help but smile.

He didn't care about this trillion US dollars. You know, his current net worth is definitely more than ten trillion US dollars, and a mere tenth of his "family property" cannot move him.

The reason why he smiled was because he thought of Tang Feiyan, the woman who was determined to make Lingyan Group bigger and stronger would definitely lose her composure after learning the news.

Reit believed that even though Tang Feiyan has not watched the live broadcast now, someone would definitely inform her. In less than three minutes, she would definitely call her!

Sure enough, after a while, Reit's cell phone rang. When he saw that the caller ID was Tang Feiyan!
Chapter completed!
