Hexagonal God

Chapter 536: Water is More Expensive Than Oil (Part )

Sure enough, after Superman Li gave out birthday gifts worth hundreds of millions, many people present looked solemn.

This is too much. He is covered with gifts worth 100 million right from the start. How can others have fun with him?
However, there were also many people who looked relatively relaxed and were obviously very confident about their gifts.

After Li Chaoren, there is Li Zhaoji of Sun Hung Kai Properties.

Li Zhaoji gave Su Mo a watch.

It was a men's watch, and perhaps because Su Mo was afraid that he didn't know it clearly, someone next to him introduced it to him.

"Mr. Su Mo, this is a limited edition Franck Muller. Its barrel-shaped design is unique in the world. Only seven pieces are available worldwide, and the price is $2.7 million."

Su Mo has more than a dozen watches, but none of them are this expensive. One watch costs over 20 million.

It has to be said that these super-rich people act differently. This is only the case with Su Mo. If it were an ordinary person, he would probably be knocked unconscious.

Su Mo just smiled at his subordinates and did not give them any preferential treatment because of the expensive watch. He just wanted to remain calm in the face of praise or criticism.

Then Brother Liu Luan also presented his birthday gift, a box of iron-capped Moutai.

The production date is in the early 1980s, which is more than 30 years ago.

This box of wine is well preserved and is a very rare fine product.

I can’t say how much more it is, but a box of six bottles of wine is worth at least five million.

It is said that Brother Liu Luan is a master of wine collection, and his wines are indeed extraordinary.

The last one was Guo Bingliang, who gave Su Mo a sea view villa in Hong Kong Island.

Located in Repulse Bay, this four-story villa is priced at at least one hundred million yuan.

This scene left many people present dumbfounded. These wealthy people from Hong Kong Island must have come out specifically to scare people.

After giving the gifts, these people left in a leisurely manner and went directly to the residence arranged by Su Mo for them to rest, not interfering in the affairs of young people.

The birthday gift giving afterwards turned into a treasure-giving ceremony.

Su Mo's second-generation friends basically gave him two kinds of things: cars and watches.

However, he was not as extravagant as Li Chaoren. He usually gave sports cars worth millions, such as Lamborghini and McLaren. Among them, the Porsche 918 given by Li Yunfeng was the best.

The same goes for watches, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars, which are generally a level lower than sports cars.

Beside Su Mo, Liu Nian and his two assistants were collecting and registering gifts. Whatever was received today, the price must not be lower than today's value when it is returned later.

For those who are not so wealthy, or whose parents are in key departments, the gifts they give are relatively cheaper.

For example, strange cigarettes and alcohol, some accessories with a history, etc.

The second generation of miners from Yunnan brought out a complete set of jade jewelry today.

These include two imperial green bracelets, two ice blue floral bracelets, two emerald green beads, several well-crafted ring faces with gold or platinum, and several pendant tags, including Guanyin Bodhisattva and Buddha. The main feature is a complete set.

Don't underestimate these jewels. If they are added together, they can definitely not stop a small target. As a group of people who just met Su Mo, their gifts are already very heavy.

Perhaps inspired by the second generation of coal miners in Yunnan, the gifts given by the second generation of coal miners in Shanxi were even more lavish.

These people formed a group to order a yacht for Su Mo, with a total value of 360 million. The people from the yacht company asked Su Mo to sign the documents on the spot, and the yacht could be delivered to the designated location within two months.

Su Mo was also a little helpless. Isn't this just a competition of wealth?

In fact, you don't need to give me any gifts. Just by looking at the hoarseness in your voices, I have already made enough money from you.

But I couldn't refuse their kindness, so I had to bite the bullet and accept the yacht. Fortunately, these people were splitting the bill, so I didn't have to worry about returning the favor later.

Then there are the gifts from foreign celebrities.

Ronaldo, Messi and others were given sports cars. One of them gave an Aston Martin Valiant, and the other gave a Pagani Zonda.

The car given by Ronaldo is worth 3050 million, and the car given by Messi is worth 2500 million.

It is not easy to give away such an expensive car even with their wealth. They really treat Su Mo as a friend.

Then Michael Jordan also gave Su Mo a valuable gift. He gave him a Hummer H2 off-road vehicle, which cost nearly three million US dollars and was definitely very expensive.

The gifts given by the other football and basketball superstars are numerous.

Most of them are items worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan, including accessories, perfumes, and even signed basketball jerseys.

For example, LeBron James gave Su Mo a brand new Apple phone that cost more than 10,000 yuan.

Su Mo was content with this. After all, he was a guy who even had to use other people's data traffic when he went out. It was basically impossible to expect him to spend a lot of money.

Domestic celebrities are similar. Most of the gifts they give are luxury goods, such as shoes, men's bags, etc. Their wealth is nothing compared to Su Mo. The most important thing is that the thought is there.

After more than an hour of receiving gifts, Su Mo had received more than 30 cars of various types, a yacht, a villa, more than 100 watches, various cigarettes, alcohol, jewelry, and some miscellaneous items.

If you calculate the price of these things, it would probably be over 1 billion.

There are mainly two groups of people in the venue.

One group is Dawa and several Middle Eastern princes, and the other group is the female celebrities who have been slow to act.

Dawa and his group originally planned to be the finale, but they also noticed some problems.

These women today seem to have bad intentions.

Forget it, just give your things away directly, and let them just watch the palace drama later.

Dawa took the initiative to step forward, took a piece of cake from Su Mo, and then gave him his own birthday present.

A huge golden Buddha.

It is nearly half a meter high and is inlaid with many gems, which looks sparkling.

The surface is very smooth and looks like it has been around for a while.

"Su, this is a treasure of our royal family. This time I asked my father to bring it to you from Thailand. Please don't refuse. It represents our precious friendship." Su Mo just took a glance, scanned it with the detector, and came to the conclusion.

Quality 99!

This shows what.

Not only is it of sufficient purity, but it is also of antique grade!

The reason why it didn’t get 100 points may be because of aesthetic issues.

Definitely over 100 million, or even more than 100 million!
Dawa is a really good friend. I guess we should interact more often in the future.

"Thank you very much my friend. I will definitely keep my promise and go to Thailand soon after my birthday party."

"That's great! We've already made some progress on that matter, and the bidding will start soon. I wish you success."

Dawa stepped aside and it was the turn of several princes from the Middle East.

According to the order, the prince of Qatar and the prince of the United Arab Emirates should have come first, but unexpectedly they came together.

Bin Salman came to Su Mo and spoke with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Su, can your Fairy Cold Spring mineral water be brought to our Middle Eastern country?"

"Oh! There's an exit now."

"No, no, no, that's too little. You know, in our country, water is more expensive than oil. And your mineral water has been certified by our country's technical department as the highest quality of all mineral waters. Long-term drinking is very beneficial to the human body. So I hope you can open one... no, ten mineral water factories in our country."

"And our country, we in the UAE need three."

"We too, Qatar needs two."

Looking at these princes, Su Mo suddenly understood why they came.

It turns out that the Chinese sage was right: when a night owl enters the house, there is no reason for it.

Su Mo was not sure about other places, but he understood the Middle East. Long-term water shortage and drought had caused the price of water to be higher than oil in most countries.

They saw that their mineral water factory was doing well and wanted to let them open one there, but they didn't consider that the groundwater there was bitter and whether they could find a water source.

Just as I was about to refuse, something suddenly occurred to me.

Wait, can the microclimate zone scroll improve groundwater quality?

Su Mo quietly asked the system.

The answer surprised him.

"The Water Resource Synchronization Scroll can improve the local water quality to that of the Fairy River, ensuring the taste and mineral content of the mineral water. It can also improve the groundwater quality and ensure good weather conditions within the water plant."

When Su Mo heard this, he felt numb all over.

This function does exist and has always existed, but I just never thought of it here.

This time it’s settled, this water has become a treasure.

Su Mo pondered for a moment and said to the princes, "You are all destined to inherit the royal family in the future, so you should be very familiar with the situation in your country. Although our Su Tang Drinking Water Company has the world's best water purification and extraction technology, the natural conditions there are indeed somewhat difficult."

Hearing that Su Mo did not say anything final, the princes immediately became excited.

"It doesn't matter. If one place doesn't work, we can try another. Su, you don't know how badly we're short of water. As long as you can extract water, we can buy it directly or exchange it for oil!"

Su Mo knew that these people were not short of money, so that was fine.

After thinking about it, Su Mo nodded: "Ordinary water, one to one weight exchange for oil, is that acceptable?"

"can!"

For the princes of several countries where water is more expensive than oil, this is a profit for them, and only a fool would disagree.

"Our Fairy Cold Spring drinking water is very high-end. A case of 24 bottles of drinking water can be exchanged for a barrel of oil. Is that okay?"

The princes hesitated for a moment at the price, even debating among themselves. Finally, Saudi Prince Bin Salman spoke up, "Su, can you guarantee the quality of the extracted water and the quality of the Fairy Cold Spring?"

"Of course, if you can't meet this standard, you can just default on your debt."

The princes looked at each other and did it!

Su Mo's Fairy Cold Spring is very expensive abroad. It costs 10 yuan per bottle when it leaves the factory, and the price will increase several times when it arrives abroad.

The price of a barrel of crude oil abroad is about US$160, which is equivalent to about RMB 1000 to 1100.

A box of Fairy Cold Spring sells for about $130 in the Middle East.

So they made a slight loss in this matter, but how much was the loss in US dollars?

In order to introduce the water plant, they decided and agreed!
Just as they agreed, Su Mo made another request.

They are required to sign the contract on behalf of the state and Sutang Drinking Water Plant in their capacity as heirs to the state, and their personal capacity is invalid.

In this case, if anyone wants to go back on their word, it will become an international dispute, and the Middle Eastern countries dare not offend China because of this.

So the birthday party was suspended.

A letter of intent to exchange water for crude oil was signed on the spot.

Su Tang Drinking Water Company aims to build no less than 15 drinking water plants in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar within one year.

Su Tang needs to have its own tankers that can enter and exit the ports of the three countries for free, exchanging fresh water for oil from the three countries.

In addition, a box of Fairy Cold Spring mineral water can also be exchanged for a barrel of crude oil.

What was signed today was a letter of intent. Everyone will have one night to think about it. If there is no objection, a formal contract will be signed within three days and a memorandum will be made. It will also be broadcast simultaneously on four national television stations.

　Today is Chinese New Year, so I’ll add another chapter. I wish you all a happy new year, and I also wish me a lot of monthly votes!
