The cable car leading to the ski starting platform at the top of the mountain is very spacious. Alfonso is holding the two ski poles together with his left hand, and his free right hand is waving naturally to cooperate with him in talking to the two most important customers.
Sitting across from Alfonso were Bashir and Camila.
"Wow! I really didn't expect that my young friends would be able to choose the most difficult black slide with me, an old guy who has been skiing for thirty years!" Alfonso expressed his goodwill to the couple humorously.
"You are not old either! I heard from Mr. Madan that you are only seven years older than him, and Mr. Madan is only more than ten years older than me. Among the Fortune 500 CEOs, you should be considered very young!" Ba Hill clapped his fingers and said flatteringly.
"Bashir, you are discussing other people's age again, how rude!" Camila glared at Bashir with feigned dissatisfaction, turned to Alfonso and continued:
"In terms of skiing skills, I may not be able to compare with you, but I grew up in country F and put on snowboards at the age of 5. Although Bashir learned late, he has athletic talent and went to university in Sirule During this period, I also obtained a ski instructor certificate.”
They had a good chat and had a great time skating. After two rounds, the three of them stored their skis, changed into casual clothes, and sat at the table in front of the large glass window of the ski resort clubhouse, sipping coffee.
Under the relaxed appearance, each of them was thinking about how to handle this important negotiation for both parties without leaving any trace.
The forest coverage rate of Jiguang Country exceeds 70%, and the paper industry was once one of the pillar industries of Jiguang Country.
The output of paper, paperboard and pulp ranks first in the world after only a few major countries.
As a Nordic country that attaches great importance to environmental protection, at the end of the 20th century, Jiguang Country began its industrial transformation with the goal of becoming more sustainable.
The first is to shift from resource-based industries to technology-based industries, and the second is to increase technology investment in traditional industries such as papermaking, so that resource-consuming industries can achieve friendly and circular development.
Traditional paper mills not only cut down forests as raw materials, but also consume high energy and pollute during the production process.
The waste from paper pulp production is organic slurry with extremely high oil content. It takes a long time to naturally degrade. When discharged into water bodies, a large amount of algae will be produced, destroying the ecological balance.
Yesterday, Alfonso took the couple to visit an environmentally friendly modern paper mill equipped with equipment provided by his company.
The factory recycles every small piece of wood waste or even sawdust and processes it into wood-based biomass diesel or ethanol.
Anaerobic microbial methods are used to quickly degrade pulp production emissions into methane, carbon dioxide and pollution-free mud.
Or, conversely, use the aerobic microbial method to inject a large amount of oxygen into the reaction tank, and the aerobic microorganisms will eat all the organic matter in the waste, thereby achieving the purpose of turning waste into treasure.
"Mr. Alfonso, the paper mill you took us to visit really opened our eyes, especially the anaerobic and aerobic processes. Your environmental air conditioning equipment is great!" Bashir got to the point first.
"Anaerobic means removing all the oxygen, and aerobic means injecting a large amount of oxygen. A few days ago, I saw the technical parameters of the equipment you asked our company to provide. I feel that although you produce water-retaining agents, the equipment you require is not the same as papermaking. The ones from the factory are almost identical, so I invited you to Jiguang Country." Alfonso looked slightly proud and asked the customers about their feelings with his eyes.
"We evaluated the technical solutions provided by your company and saw the physical equipment yesterday. We are very satisfied!" Bashir said.
"The problem now is the price and delivery time. Mr. Alfonso, I hope you can give us more discounts. Our company is small, and it is our first time to invest in such a large factory. Please take care of us!" Camilla said sincerely! Make a request to Alfonso.
"Price is not an issue. Our board of directors is very optimistic about the Middle East market with great growth potential. Our successful cooperation will become a good example. I will arrange to give you a new preferential quotation tomorrow." Alfonso said very cheerfully. :
"Because your equipment requires very few customizations, it can be delivered in early March. We are responsible for delivering the goods to Gubo Bay Port, and you can transport them to the Jade Khanate by yourself. Our engineers will provide online guidance."
The three of them drank coffee instead of wine and clinked glasses happily.
Alfonso seemed to have remembered something and asked:
"By the way, how is Madan? Every time I talk to him, he says he is fine. He is trapped in the Jade Khanate. Thank you for taking care of him."
"It can be seen that Mr. Madan misses home and wants to return to Yuhua Country." Camilla replied.
"Fortunately, Mr. Madan used the high-quality oat and noni enzymes we provided him, repeatedly studied the ratio, and submitted his technical plan to his colleagues in Yuhua Kingdom. It is estimated that the water absorption rate has been high in the past few days. We will produce high-efficiency water-retaining agent samples on a trial basis and send them to us for testing,” Bashir added.
"I remember you said you wanted a water absorption rate of 1 to 20 times, right? Can it be achieved?" Alfonso said, thinking to himself, is it necessary to talk about this water-retaining agent used as a cover?
"We are also worried. It is said that the technical director of Yuhuaguo Biological Company is Mr. Ma Dan's teacher. He is rigorous and conservative. Even if he achieves 1:20 times, he will safely only mark 1:15 times, leaving us Users themselves test higher values,” Bashir said.
"Hey, I really hope that the actual water absorption rate of the samples sent by Mr. Madan's colleague Mr. Tinike from the Yuhua Kingdom can reach 1 to 20 times. Otherwise, the products we produce may not be able to handle the water-starved Jade Khanate Plateau. . We invested so much money to buy equipment and build a factory, maybe we need to re-study the feasibility." Camilla said with a worried face.
Alfonso thought, why is this so difficult, Tinique is one of ours too.
This couple is acting out a full play. What if the water-retaining agent in Yuhua Country is not up to standard and they use this as an excuse to delay the establishment of the factory or not buy equipment?
After returning home, ask Boss Shamron to find agricultural experts in Chicago. They must produce 1 to 20 times the water-retaining agent sample and let Tinique drop the bag.
By the time they discovered that the so-called noni enzyme didn't work, the cave would have exploded to the sky!
In February in the Arctic, it gets dark early, and Bashir and Kamila return to their cabin hotel.
The two had a quick bite, climbed up to the attic, and sat side by side in front of the window.
Rosanna pointed to the two bright stars in the eastern sky and said: "Regulus has risen, and Jupiter is beside it! In a few months, they will completely coincide with each other!"
"Well, that's the day we really start taking action!" Bashir turned to Roxana, put his hand on Roxana's hand, and continued affectionately:
"Roxanne, let's get married on this Winter Solstice's Day of Dawn!"
"Let's wait until the mission ends successfully." Rosanna withdrew her hand and said.
"I know, that's why we said until the end of the year, can you promise me first?" Bashir begged.
"That's not okay. A major event like marriage requires the consent of both parents!" Rosanna suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing, because Bashir's father was no longer around.
Bashir's face changed, and tears instantly filled his eyes. He raised his head, held back the tears, and turned sideways.
Roxana gently reached out and took Bashir's hand, gently resting her head on Bashir's broad shoulder.
There was a flash of green light in the sky, and then there was a flash of pink light. The pink light and green light combined together, like silk brocade, filling the entire sky.
The Aurora is coming as promised! She flew from the coronal hole of the sun and flew towards the earth along the line connecting the sun and Regulus.
The earth's magnetic field trembles, bathed in the illusion of a fairy tale world.
At the end of February, Bashir and Kamila received 30 kilograms of water-retaining agent samples with a water absorption rate of 1 to 20 times from Mr. Tinike from the "Yuhua Country".
In March, in the mountains of the Jade Khanate, in caves where tens of thousands of high-speed centrifuges and enriched uranium are stored, the installation and commissioning of brand-new air control equipment was completed.
Four two-meter-high oxygen storage tanks are neatly placed deep in the cave where nuclear materials are stored. The pressure gauges connected to the tank pipes have a green light.
The Chinese characters on the reading dial read:
"Stress is normal."
