The richest man: I really don’t want to make money.

"The profit model of sewage treatment plants includes government subsidies, recycled water sales, and resource reuse."

"First, the government subsidy is given according to the amount of sewage treated by the sewage treatment plant. However, the price of the subsidy will change according to the policy at the time."

"It also includes the sewage treatment fees collected by the water company, but when you improve the water environment of the entire Jiangcheng."

"You're going to be treating a lot of wastewater, and there's a lot of variability."

"The second is the sale of recycled water. The water produced by most sewage treatment plants cannot be drunk directly. Ordinary residents' tap water still needs further treatment before it can be delivered to every household."

"Recycled water sales are the sale of water that meets water quality standards but is not potable, such as for irrigation in industrial parks and road washing."

"Using this water can avoid using residential water and maximize the use of water resources."

"But there is also a limit to the water resources needed for irrigation and other things in the park, and there is also a limit to the income."

"In addition, the sale of recycled water requires the laying of a pipeline network, which is also a huge cost-consuming process."

"The last thing is resource recycling and reuse. Wastewater often contains substances such as phosphorus and nitrogen. During the sewage treatment process, these substances can be extracted through some technical means and then sold."

"However, this requires high technology and equipment, so the investment cost is also high."

"The above three sources of income can be profitable if the sewage treatment volume is controlled within a certain range, but if the goal is to improve the water environment, large amounts of sewage will be treated."

"The final cost will be much higher, and there is a high chance of losing money."

Liu Yi described the profit situation in detail. As a professor of sewage treatment research, he naturally hoped that the country's water resources environment would get better and better.

It has also trained many outstanding talents and established a sewage treatment company.

But since you are running a company, you want to make a profit. If you don’t make a profit, how can you pay the workers in the sewage treatment plant?

No one will do charity work all the time, after all, there may be other family members at home.

But for this very reason, there is still a long way to go to improve the country’s water environment.

However, he is well aware of this, but he still continues to cultivate talents in sewage treatment.

In any case, every additional sewage treatment plant added in the country will improve the water environment a little.

He said so much to the other party at this time, not to persuade the other party to back off, but to let the other party know that the sewage treatment plant aimed at improving the water environment will not go far.

If the sewage treatment plant goes bankrupt due to losses after operating for a period of time, you will have one less sewage treatment plant.

What he needs is for the other party to set up a profitable sewage treatment plant, and he can also provide certain assistance, so that the sewage can be treated continuously.

However, Chen Mo, who was sitting opposite, had a different idea after listening to Liu Yi's story.

Through the content just now, he summed up a sentence, that is, if the purpose is to improve the water resources environment in Jiangcheng, the cost required will be much greater.

If the cost of investment is high, the chance of loss in the end will increase.

If he wants to ensure losses, he has to further increase the sales costs of the sewage treatment plant.

Although the water treated by the sewage treatment plant meets the standards, it is not drinkable.

That’s less than ideal.

The water treated by his sewage treatment plant must be able to meet drinkable standards.

As a result, the cost of sewage treatment is much higher and the cost increases.

There is also the issue of recycled water sales. Since there is an upper limit, there is even less need to worry about it.

He can lay more pipelines and increase consumption costs, but there is a limit anyway, so he doesn't have to worry about excessive profits.

The last thing is resource recycling. Professor Liu said that the technology and equipment costs are very high, so we must get the best equipment.

All the best technical personnel are recruited and given super high salaries, which can also expand cost consumption.

Not bad!

That's it.

He invested in this sewage treatment plant.

"I already know about Professor Liu's profit, but when I set up a sewage treatment plant, profit is certainly my goal, but improving the water resources environment is also my goal."

"Since I have decided to invest in this project, I will not give up just because of the possibility of losses."

"So I will definitely invest in this sewage treatment plant, but I don't know if Professor Liu is interested in being the person in charge of this sewage treatment plant."

Chen Mo looked up at Professor Liu and spoke slowly.

Liu Yi's eyes flickered when he heard Chen Mo's words, but as a professor, he had also taught some people who had the same ideals as the young man in front of him.

But in the end, they were defeated by reality.

He didn't know how long the young man in front of him could hold on.

"Mr. Chen, please don't think about it again."

"I won't consider it. I'm not a cautious person. Also, I don't know if Professor Liu has ever understood my group."

"Even if there is a loss, with the current strength of the group, we can still bear it."

Chen Mo waved his hand and said with a smile.

Liu Yi was stunned when he heard this. Before he came here, he really didn't know much about the other party's company.

It’s just that Professor Yuan said that someone wanted to invest in a sewage treatment plant, and Professor Yuan also emphasized a few points.

He and Professor Yuan don't have much contact in normal times, but he still admires Professor Yuan very much, to some extent.

They are the same people, just in different fields.

So he took Professor Yuan's words very seriously and came here in person.

He also hopes that there will be more and more sewage treatment plants.

But after listening to what Chen Mo said, he became curious about the other party's company.

After thinking for a while, he spoke.

"Mr. Chen, if you don't mind, I would like to learn about your company's situation."

"That's no problem, but it would be too much trouble for Professor Liu to check it himself. I have more detailed information here."

As Chen Mo spoke, he stood up and took a tablet from the side, found the group's information, and then handed it to Professor Liu.

"Trouble!"

Liu Yi reached out to take the tablet, then looked at the information on it.

After a while.

Liu Yi looked at the young man in front of him with amazement. When they first met, he thought that the other party was a small boss of a startup company and had some relationship with Professor Yuan.

But after seeing the detailed content in the information, he finally understood the other party's strength.

But the more this happened, the more shocked he became.

The main reason is that the other party is too young.
