Chapter 38: Huge Influence, Determined to Have His Own Way

"I am collecting golden fingers from all over the world ()"

Just because they know the depth of the water industry and the large investment, [Chaoqun Group]’s current capital flow is still a bit tight, so some relatively rational executives do not want the group to get involved in the water industry for fear of doing something wrong. Triggering the group's capital chain exercise, although this possibility is very low.

But they didn't know that Wu Siyuan also had a [money printing press] overseas.

The US stock trader played by [Four-Armed King Kong] can earn more than eight figures in US dollars from the US stock market every month. This is the result of [Four-Armed King Kong]'s restraint under Wu Siyuan's instructions, but if necessary , it is no problem to make one billion or eighty million US dollars in one go.

Therefore, the funding issues that executives worry about have never been a problem for Wu Siyuan.

Money is not the issue, the issue is how much influence you can have.

Water affairs is a basic industry related to people's livelihood, and its influence cannot be compared even with the [Audition] project.

To be precise, it is far worse.

People can go without using [Chaoqun Group]’s smart fitting rooms for ten days, half a month, or even forever, but they can’t live without water.

A person can survive for seven days without food, but can only survive for three days without water.

Entering the water industry will undoubtedly bring huge influence to Wu Siyuan.

This is an absolutely huge market.

Just talk about the sewage treatment field in water affairs.

After nearly 20 years of development in Huaguo's sewage treatment, as of 2015, the national urban sewage treatment capacity reached 217 million cubic meters/day, of which the urban sewage treatment capacity reached 161 million cubic meters/day, and the growth rate of urban sewage treatment capacity remained at 3 -7%; the length of the drainage pipe network reached 540,000 kilometers in 2015, and the growth rate of the length of the drainage pipe network was 5-10%.

Because the scale of urban sewage treatment will continue to grow.

China's water consumption will continue to grow, so the scale of urban sewage treatment will continue to grow; the advancement of urbanization will also bring about continued increases.

At present, there is still a gap of 8 billion tons in the design treatment capacity of sewage treatment facilities compared with the annual discharge, which is equivalent to a daily treatment capacity of about 22 million tons. If calculated based on the actual water volume treated, the daily treatment capacity difference is about 28 million tons.

This is where the future market growth will lie.

According to estimates from authoritative organizations, urban sewage treatment volume will exceed 60 billion tons in 2017.

Assuming that the national average sewage treatment fee is 0.98 yuan/ton, the annual municipal sewage market size is about 58.8 billion yuan.

This is still the municipal sewage treatment market, as well as the field of industrial sewage with higher treatment fees, and the field of treatment of black and smelly water bodies.

The key area of ​​water treatment in 2017 is mainly the treatment of black and odorous water bodies.

According to the requirements of the "Ten Water Articles", black and smelly water bodies must be basically eliminated in the built-up areas of municipalities directly under the Central Government, provincial capital cities, and cities under separate state planning by the end of 2017.

According to data from the Ministry of Environmental Protection, a total of 2,082 black and smelly water bodies have been identified in 224 cities at the prefecture level and above across the country. Among them, 34.9% have completed remediation, 28.4% are in the process of remediation, 22.8% are carrying out pre-project related work, and the rest are studying and formulating remediation plans.

And all of this requires heavy investment.

In addition, according to the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development’s [13th Five-Year Plan] for urban sewage and recycled water, we can see:

[Urban sewage treatment rate] requirements have been increased from 91.9% in 2015 to 95%, requiring 50.22 million cubic meters/day of new sewage treatment facilities and 42.2 million cubic meters/day of upgrading and renovation.

[Recycled water utilization rate] is being improved nationwide, with water-scarce areas increasing from 12.1% in 2015 to over 20%, and other cities striving to reach 15% from 4.4%; the scale of newly built recycled water facilities reaches 15.05 million cubic meters per day.

[Sewage pipe network] In terms of the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", 125,900 kilometers will be added and 27,700 kilometers of old pipe networks will be renovated.

A total of 28,700 kilometers of combined pipeline networks were renovated.

Adding up all these aspects, in sewage treatment alone, there is an incremental market of hundreds of billions or even higher, which is a very big cake.

Not to mention the water supply sector, which accounts for the bulk of revenue.

Wu Siyuan predicts that water related companies across the country will usher in rapid development and have a lot of room for imagination.

With the help of the [New Biological Treatment Process] built by Wu Siyuan from the [Dianjin Mulberry] world of [Beast Blood Boils], [Chaoqun Group] has a cost advantage that no one can match in terms of sewage treatment.

It would be a real shame if you don't take advantage of it.

In fact, the executives of [Chaoqun Group] are not opposed to the group entering the sewage treatment industry. Anyway, if the group's [Bikong Domestic Waste Treatment Plant] adds another business, it can also expand revenue and increase profits, so why not do it.

What they object to is Wu Siyuan's complete involvement in the water industry, especially the water supply market.

Because this means that [Chaoqun Group] has to invest heavily in building and repairing supply pipelines, and water prices are subject to severe administrative restrictions. It is very likely that after a year of busy work, they will not make much money, and there is a high possibility of losses.

After all, China is not a foreign country. Foreign water and electricity are privately owned. If there is a reason to increase prices, they can increase prices, so losses are impossible.

The executives have stated the pros and cons to Wu Siyuan, but Wu Siyuan still decided to go his own way. He was reluctant to give up the influential water supply market in the water industry.

Even after entering the water market, the business in this area will only have small profits or even no profit. Wu Siyuan can accept even a loss.

Of course, the best result is that the water companies you invest in can maintain profitability.

After all, this is the way to last.

In the field of water affairs, there are only a few points that can enhance the interests of related companies.

The first is to improve the leakage rate of urban water supply pipe networks. Processed water often leaks during pipe network transmission. In China, this indicator averages about 20%, which is a serious waste. In developed countries, it can be reduced to less than 8%. Leakage means a waste of a large amount of precious water resources, which is tantamount to a huge loss especially when China is experiencing an overall water shortage. Therefore, water resource utilization can be improved by reducing the leakage rate during the water supply process, thereby increasing the company's profits and reducing expenses.

The second one is capital diversification and operation marketization. In fact, it is to encourage water companies to develop diversified development, market-oriented operations, and use profits from other places to increase the profit margin of the entire company.

Third, increase water prices.

Fourth, coordinating regional water supply, rationally arranging water resources, promoting spatial resource integration and intensive utilization of regional infrastructure are actually integrating resources to make enterprises bigger and stronger, so as to reduce costs and increase profits.

Fifth, use modern information technology to strengthen the integration and development and utilization management of information resources in the water industry to reduce costs and increase efficiency. uuread a book

Among these points, the fifth point is the point where [Chaoqun Group] has the greatest advantage.

Using modern information technology to strengthen the integration and development and utilization management of information resources in the water industry is actually the hot concept of [Smart Water].

[Smart Water Affairs] uses digital acquisition instruments, wireless networks, water quality and pressure gauges and other online monitoring equipment to sense the operating status of urban water supply and drainage systems in real time, and uses a visual method to organically integrate water management departments and water supply and drainage facilities to form "urban water affairs". "Internet of Things", and can analyze and process massive amounts of water affairs information in a timely manner, and make corresponding processing results to assist decision-making and suggestions, and manage the entire production, management and service process of the water affairs system in a more refined and dynamic way, thereby achieving "smart" "status.

In short, [smart water affairs] aggregates various types of water affairs information through the Internet and other technologies, implements monitoring of water affairs circulation systems, and achieves efficient and intensive utilization of water resources. It can be applied to urban waterlogging, overflow pollution, black and smelly water bodies, and sponge cities. , enterprise operations and other fields.

It is somewhat similar to the [Intelligent Pig Raising] software developed by [Chaoqun Group], which can greatly reduce the labor intensity of pig raising staff, improve the efficiency of pig raising, reduce costs, and increase profits.

[Smart water] can be said to be a part of the future [smart city].

Many Internet companies have already entered this enterprise and have formed strategic partners with water companies to promote the implementation of [Smart Water].

In terms of modern technology, [Chaoqun Group] has great advantages. Wu Siyuan predicts that after [Chaoqun Group] invests in water companies and launches the [Smart Water] industry, it can greatly improve the utilization efficiency of water resources, and the related water supply field can also enter a profitable state, without using the profits from the sewage treatment field. fill.
