Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 291 Energy: Hydropower Photovoltaic Nuclear Energy
Three days later, Wujiang Hydropower Group held a press conference and announced that it would invest heavily in the construction of Wudongde Power Station, Baihetan Power Station, Xiluodu Power Station, and Xiangjiaba Power Station to form the four lower reaches of the Jinsha River. Cascade power station.

All reporters present were stunned.

It doesn’t matter if it is a small hydropower station, but the scale of these four hydropower stations is so large that they can be ranked among the top five in the country. Among them, Wudongde Power Station, Baihetan Power Station, and Xiluodu Power Station can even rank among the world’s largest hydropower stations. Among the top ten hydropower stations, Xiangjiaba Power Station may be slightly smaller in scale, but it is still enough to rank No. 11 in the world.

"I'm convinced. Zhao Ye is so awesome. It's not an exaggeration for me to call him the 'King of Hydropower Stations'!"

"Haha, he deserves the title. Including the Three Gorges Dam, Wujiang Hydropower Group alone has invested in five of the world's top ten hydropower stations. He is not the 'King of Hydropower Stations'. Who else is qualified to receive this title?!"

"Wujiang Hydropower Group has invested in so many amazing hydropower stations all at once. In the future, domestic electricity consumption will not be as tight as it is now. Moreover, hydropower stations can also play a role in flood control and discharge, navigation, water storage for irrigation, and environmental improvement! These Once the hydropower station is completed, it will benefit the present generation and benefit the future!" A foreign reporter said excitedly, applauding excitedly.

clap clap clap!
There was thunderous applause at the press conference. Everyone was shocked and admired by Wujiang Hydropower Group for its generosity. Foreign reporters were even a little envious and jealous.

There are no companies in their country that are so keen on investing in hydropower stations. This is probably because the income from hydropower stations is not a hugely profitable industry and the return cycle is long.

Soon, news that Wujiang Hydropower Group had invested heavily in building four world-class hydropower stations became a hot topic on the Internet.

Countless Chinese netizens were amazed and expressed their expectations for this.

At the same time, there is also a trace of pride.

Look, we Chinese are awesome!We want to build so many world-class hydropower stations!This is the style of a great country!

"Haha, it is indeed Wujiang, it is amazing! If foreign countries receive the news, I am afraid they will be shocked! They don't even have one hydropower station that can be ranked among the top ten in the world. Our country will have at least four in the future!!! "

"When I was a child, I always envied the more developed countries abroad, with their busy traffic and numerous high-rise buildings. But looking at it now, the most awesome country is actually our own country! Not only do we now have the tallest skyscrapers in the world, but we also have many world-class hydropower station!”

At this time, many foreign netizens have read the news.

There were a lot of words like "awesome", "unbelievable", "how is this possible", and "oh my God, this is crazy" in the comment area.

Foreign netizens call it envy and jealousy.

Their country has not even built a large hydropower station for more than ten years or more than two decades.

At the press conference, Wujiang Hydropower Group also briefly introduced their independently developed large-scale hydroelectric generator with world-leading technology - [Shuilong Generator], thus breaking the foreign perception of China's large-scale hydroelectric generator. technical blockade.

Each [Water Dragon Generator] has a single generating power of up to 100 million kilowatts. It is currently the highest single generating power hydroelectric generator in the world. In comparison, the maximum power of the Three Gorges generator is only 70 kilowatts. This The giant hydroelectric generator only weighs 3000 tons of rotor, and the entire generator weighs tens of thousands of tons. Its power generation capacity is terrifying. It can generate more than 170 degrees of electricity in one rotation, and the energy generated in 24 hours of operation is Enough to last 50 people for a whole year.

Of course, there is also a small [Water Dragon Generator], which can be applied according to actual conditions.

Other domestic hydropower station projects have already purchased this kind of [Water Dragon Generator] from Wujiang Hydropower Group.

Wujiang Hydropower Group also wants to introduce the "Water Dragon Generator" to the outside world through the press conference and sell it to all over the world.

In addition to its advanced technology, the biggest feature of [Water Dragon Generator] is its high quality and low price.

Everyone knows that manufacturing in China has low cost, so it has a strong price competitive advantage.

In fact, when the news of the [Water Dragon Generator] spread, it quickly attracted the attention of many countries.

Hydropower stations generally integrate power generation, flood control and other functions, and their functions are much greater than thermal power stations. Therefore, as long as conditions are met, most countries are still willing to build hydropower stations.

Countries in Southeast Asia, South America and other countries have hydropower resources. However, they have neither technology nor money, so they rarely build hydropower stations.

However, when they saw that Wujiang Group was so keen on investing in the construction of hydropower stations, they thought, why not invest in and develop hydropower stations in their own country with Wujiang Group?

I provide the land and labor, and Wujiang Group provides capital and technology. Isn’t it a win-win situation?
Since mid-April, more and more countries have sent invitation letters to Wujiang Group for investment in hydropower station projects.

Currently, Wujiang Group is sending people to conduct inspections and market research. If there are suitable projects, then they may also wish to participate in investment.

……

Domestically, the Wudongde Power Station, Baihetan Power Station, Xiluodu Power Station, and Xiangjiaba Power Station have begun ground construction at this time, and the projects are in full swing.

Nearly 2 people participated in the construction of Baihetan Power Station alone.

Not far from the construction site, many reporters, experts and professors were excited as they looked at the bustling construction site.

"The six cascade power stations of Wudongde, Baihetan, Xiluodu, Xiangjiaba, Three Gorges and Gezhouba constitute the world's largest clean energy corridor, which is enough to make our people proud!!!" an old professor said excitedly, his face Full of expectations.

"Haha, yes, when it comes to developing clean energy, our country is at the forefront of the world!" The companion agreed with a smile.

The reporters on the side frantically clicked the shutter of their cameras, permanently recording the lively scene at the construction site.

……

On April 4, the World Cup Asian qualifying group stage was officially held, which instantly attracted the attention of the whole country.

However, this is probably the most glorious time for the national football team.

The opponent of the Chinese football team in the first game was the Maldives.

At this time, the tourism industry in the Maldives has not yet developed. You can imagine how poor this island country is. The Maldives football team is just a patchwork of business teams.

In memory, China defeated the Maldives team 10-1.However, the domestic media's evaluation of the game at the time was that the Chinese team's performance was very disappointing. They also played cowardly against the amateur team Maldives. The cooperation in the midfield and frontcourt was disorganized, mistakes were frequent, and the attacking midfielder was even more weak. link.

Zhao Ye didn't plan to go to the game, there was nothing interesting to watch.

Just go to the last World Cup qualifying game.

Zhao Ye never thought about saving the football team. The water inside was too deep and there was no need to cause trouble for himself.

That was just thankless.

Might as well think about how to develop a phenomenal football game.

……

Zhao Ye didn't pay attention to tonight's game. It would be ridiculous if the national football team couldn't beat the Maldives.

In the evening, Zhao Ye wrote some business plans at home to clarify the company's future development direction.

3G, smartphones, mobile Internet, new energy vehicles, etc...

Develop feasible plans based on the technology mastered by your company at the current stage.

The next morning, Zhao Ye came to the company. At this time, many people in the company were excitedly discussing the match between the Chinese football team and the Maldives football team last night.

"Although the Chinese football team made many mistakes, they easily defeated the Maldives football team, achieving a score of 10 to 1. There is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides!"

"I feel that the Maldives football team is so weak, its level is not as good as the level of the university football league!"

"The Maldives is just a small country in the Indian Ocean. I've never heard of it before. It's so poor. How can they have time to practice playing football? I guess they don't even have a standard football field!"

"If I go, then won't our Chinese team be defeated?"

"I checked online and found that the Maldives is really poor, but the scenery in their country is pretty good, but the infrastructure is terrible. Otherwise, I would even want to travel to the Maldives..."

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Zhao Ye's eyes suddenly lit up and he murmured in his heart: "The Maldives is not famous now, and it is still a very poor country. However, the tourism resources of the Maldives are really great. It is 'the necklace God threw down on the world.' There are many things here." The Thousand Islands are scattered across the sea like inlaid pearls. I can now take the opportunity to buy some islands in the Maldives!”

The more Zhao Ye thought about it, the more excited he became. In his previous life, he was too busy at home and had no chance to go to the Maldives for vacation. However, he also learned about the famous islands in the Maldives from the Internet, such as Full Moon Island, Kani Island, Sun Island, and Ayada. Island, Central Grand Island, Veravaru Island, Paradise Island, Lily Island, Iru Island...

If you buy these islands now, you will have many beautiful private islands. After development, whether you use them for your own vacation or open them to the outside world, it is a very good choice.

……

The Maldives football team lost 10 goals, and the officials leading the team were frustrated.Not long after, they were overjoyed by a phone call.

"Hello, are you Mr. Mao Rufu? I am the secretary of Zhao Ye, the chairman of Wujiang Group."

Maoruf is a senior official in the Maldives and is responsible for leading the Maldives team in the qualifiers.

At this moment, when he heard the content on the phone, he couldn't help but be shocked, and quickly replied: "Yes, I am Maoruf!"

"Hello, Mr. Maoruf, it's like this. Our Director Zhao is more interested in the islands in the Maldives and plans to buy some private islands. In addition, our Wujiang Group very much hopes to invest in airports, bridges, highways, hotels, residences, etc. in the Maldives. wait……"

As soon as he finished speaking, Maoruf felt stunned by the surprise.

He did not expect that God would finally start to favor the Maldives!

He immediately replied: "No problem, the Maldives very much welcomes Wujiang Group to invest, and we will definitely provide the most favorable conditions!"

Wujiang Group is a benchmark in the investment community. If Wujiang Group is willing to invest in the Maldives, it will definitely attract other investors to invest in the Maldives.

Liu Yinyin nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, Mr. Maoruf, our company will send personnel to the Maldives for inspection as soon as possible. We hope to get cooperation to help your country."

"No problem, I will contact the country later and they will send personnel to accompany the Wujiang Group's inspectors throughout the entire process!" Maoruf said.

Hearing this, Liu Yinyin thanked Mao Rufu and then said goodbye and hung up the phone.

Maoruf immediately called the Maldives and told the situation here. The person on the phone was immediately shocked and then ecstatic.

……

Three days later, Zhao Ye said to the leader of the inspection team that was about to go to the Maldives: "I plan to buy a dozen private islands this time, and this piece of paper has the name of the island I want to buy!"

"The tourism industry in the Maldives has great development potential, so we must strive to make arrangements in advance."

"Even if we don't invest, someone else will."

"The purpose of your trip is not only to buy a private island, but also to acquire the Maldives' airport, electricity, communications, roads, and even investment rights in banks!"

"We are the Wujiang Group, and I believe the Maldives will be very clear about what it means when we invest in the Maldives! So, you can talk boldly and strive to complete all goals and tasks!"

The leader of the inspection team nodded and responded: "Okay, Director Zhao, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, we will definitely complete the task!"

"Yeah!" Zhao Ye nodded slightly, smiled and patted the other party's shoulder.

The Maldives has more than 100 million tourists every year, one-third of whom are Chinese. Since 2012, China has been the Maldives' largest source of tourists, with 40 million Chinese tourists going to the Maldives every year.However, in the following years, fewer Chinese tourists went to the Maldives, and India became the main source of tourists to the Maldives.

During the peak tourist season in China, many scenic spots are indeed crowded with people, so many people choose to travel abroad.

If you have to travel abroad, Zhao Ye thinks you can go to countries that are friendly to Chinese tourists.

If people look down on you and you still go to their country to travel and spend money, that's just putting a hot face on a cold butt, so why bother.

Zhao Ye considered that many people would still travel abroad, so Wujiang Group could purchase some private islands abroad and then develop them to meet the travel needs of some people.

……

During lunch in the company canteen, Zhan Jiancheng, CEO of Wujiang Hydropower Group, sat across from Zhao Ye with a dinner plate.

The two chatted while eating.

"Director Zhao, Southeast Asian countries are rich in hydropower resources and are suitable for us to invest in."

"For example, the Mekong River Basin in Cambodia can build many hydropower stations. Laos is known as the 'Battery of Southeast Asia'. There are more than 200 rivers over 20 kilometers across the country. Myanmar has four major rivers: the Irrawaddy River, the Salween River, the Chindwin River and the Setang River. and numerous tributaries, the hydropower potential is huge. Vietnam has more than 3450 water systems and dense river systems. Hydropower resources are mainly concentrated in the Red River Basin and Mekong River Basin, with an average annual rainfall of about 1800 to 2000 mm..."

“After comprehensive consideration of the investment invitation letters sent to us by various countries, we feel that we can take the lead in investing in Son La Hydropower Station, the largest hydropower station in Vietnam, and the Bakun Hydropower Station in Malaysia, the largest hydropower station in Southeast Asia..."

"In addition, in Africa, our researchers feel that we can invest in the Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. Once the dam is completed, it will become the largest hydropower station in Africa and the seventh largest hydropower station in the world. Its total investment is about 48 billion. The cost is US dollars. And Ethiopia’s willingness to cooperate is also very strong, and they are very eager to promote this cooperation. Oh, by the way..."

Zhan Jiancheng seemed to have thought of something, paused, and said with a smile: "The African Congolese government proposed the 'Great Inga Dam Project.' After our engineers inspected this project, they couldn't help but be shocked."

"What happened to this project?" Zhao Ye took a bite of his rice and asked curiously.

Zhan Jiancheng laughed: "This proposed hydropower dam falls on the Congo River. The dam is designed to output an average of 39000 megawatts of electricity per year, which is almost twice that of my country's Three Gorges Dam, making it the largest hydropower plan in the world. The dam is estimated to generate enough electricity to power nearly half of the African continent. The Great Inga Dam is expected to cost $1000 billion, far more than the Three Gorges Dam, including the cost of the transmission lines needed to carry its power across the continent... …”

Zhao Ye couldn't help but clicked his tongue when he heard this.

Zhan Jiancheng continued: "In the main stream of the Congo River, the deepest point is 150m, and the water level difference is about 280m. The water flow is turbulent, providing a steady stream of power for power generation; at the mouth of the Congo River, the average annual flow rate exceeds 4 m/s, the largest flow rate in history. It is as high as 8 m/s, easily crushing the Nile River and ranking first on the entire African continent. As far as the conditions of the Congo River are concerned, the power generation advantage is more obvious than that of the Yangtze River, and it is indeed fully qualified to build a larger-scale super hydropower station. !”

Zhao Ye nodded and asked, "Mr. Zhan, do you think we should invest in this project?"

Zhan Jiancheng thought for half a minute and replied: "I think it can be invested. This is an opportunity for our Wujiang Hydropower Group. The Great Yingjia Hydropower Station will definitely produce attractive power generation benefits. However, when transmitting power over long distances, UHV AC and DC transmission technology will be a major obstacle to the transmission of hydropower. Currently, our technicians are studying UHV DC transmission technology. If we can achieve a breakthrough, then we will have the opportunity to provide new opportunities for long-distance power transmission in Africa. ! By then, water and electricity delivery solutions across the African continent will be a piece of cake!"

Zhao Ye thought silently, not to mention whether the project would proceed smoothly. Even if the Great Inga Hydropower Station was completed, there were too many poor countries in Africa and they could not afford electricity.

However, if Africa has electricity, they should soon develop and become a huge market... This will be more beneficial to Wujiang Group.

Zhao Ye was a little hesitant, after all, the investment was too big.

"Director Zhao, we are not the only companies interested in this project. When the time comes, we can join forces with other companies to develop it." Zhan Jiancheng said.

"In this case, we can participate in the investment and construction, but we don't have to take the majority." Zhao Ye finally decided to invest in this largest hydropower station project in Africa. Not to mention the economic benefits, it can also increase Wujiang Group's influence in Africa. .

If it was just Wujiang's investment, then the investment would be too big. If an accident occurred and the losses would be heavy, Zhao Ye would not dare to gamble.

Wujiang Hydropower Group focuses on participating, earning some engineering fees and selling generator equipment. In the future, it can also provide UHV DC transmission technology and make a lot of money again.

Lunch took an hour to finish.

However, several large-scale projects were negotiated in the cafeteria, with a total investment of tens of billions of dollars. If this were revealed, the media and netizens would be extremely surprised.

……

"In terms of energy, Wujiang Group can't just have hydropower. Thermal power, solar energy and nuclear energy should also be the directions that Wujiang Group needs to actively deploy!"

Zhao Ye returned to his office and muttered to himself.

These projects cost a lot of money, and even Wujiang Group would be a little overwhelmed.

In the afternoon, Zhao Ye thought about it again and again and decided to make a choice.

Abandon thermal power and choose to develop solar and nuclear energy.

Wujiang Group has advantages in solar power generation. The main materials of photovoltaic panels are crystalline silicon, silica gel, tempered glass, etc.

Therefore, when Wujiang Group wants to enter the photovoltaic industry, it will quickly become a giant in the industry.

As for nuclear energy, it goes without saying that it is the most ideal energy source for mankind in the future and the ultimate solution to energy needs.

Many large companies are betting on nuclear energy, and Wujiang Group's pace is already considered slow.

If you want not to be defeated by your competitors in the future, you need to make early plans from now on and invest heavily in research and development.

Zhao Ye's attitude was very firm and his actions were decisive. Before leaving get off work that day, he announced to the group that he would enter the photovoltaic and nuclear energy industries.

The initial investment budget for these two projects is no less than US$100 billion.
