Chapter 259 Still have to do it alone(2/2)
"Hmm?" The Ministry of Energy's representative took a step and stopped.
He slowly turned around and said in surprise: "Mr. Moron, do you say... your company intends to build a solar power station independently?"
"Not bad!" Moron
"The board of directors has discussed this. With such a large investment, I think we can't find partners from other places. Instead of facing the oppression of oil and energy providers in other places, it is better to start from scratch in China. We will not invest at one time, and the company does not have so much money. In total, we can only build a solar power station about 20 square kilometers, which is the limit of the company's financial resources. Therefore, we plan to start step by step, first build a solar power station of 20 square kilometers and put it into operation. Through this power station, we think of its way to raise funds and gradually build it. This is probably the most feasible method at present."
Mr. Li held his feet this time, and faced Moron's stubborn face, he felt very moved.
This is really a modern Yugong moving mountains!
The 20 square kilometers solar power station has a total power generation of 4.38 billion kilometers a year. Even if they sell for commercial electricity for 80 cents per kilowatt-hour, the gross profit is only 2.1 billion!
In other words, even if they do not pay taxes and maximize profits, they can build up to one square kilometer of solar power stations a year!
How many years will it take for them to achieve scale?
The Department of Energy Representative Mr. Li stared at Moron for a long time before he was sure that the other party was not joking with him, but the board of directors of California Solar Energy Corporation made the decision together.
That being said, California Solar Energy Company has completely offended those large consortiums. Even if they return to the United States, they will be subject to unimaginable resistance. Perhaps those large consortiums will not let them go and continue to pursue solar energy production technology from them.
They stayed in China to develop, and were forced to do so.
The gross profit of 2.1 billion yuan is not worth mentioning for companies operating in the United States. But in China, 2.1 billion is not a small amount. If California Solar Energy Company makes up its mind and takes root in China, then this small profit is enough for all shareholders to be happy.
This thought quickly turned in his mind, and a smile appeared on his face: "Since your company has decided to develop in our country, we certainly welcome it with both hands. Our electricity use is always tense, and your company can work hand in hand with us to promote economic development. We are too grateful. I wonder if your company has any requirements?"
Mr. Li had a smile on his face and listened with his ears.
In 2003, the total power supply was more than 160 billion kWh. The California Solar Energy Company's 20-square-kilometer solar power station provided a maximum of 438 billion kWh, which was far from solving the problem of supply and demand contradictions. But it is better than not. These power supplies can also meet the power demand in some places.
But the other party will never run to the deserted northwest region and set up camp there.
Where can they still make profits when transporting electricity from the northwest to the mainland?
After all, they want to maximize profits. The best construction site is in the coastal areas. These places have sufficient sunshine and huge annual solar energy exposure, which is the only place to choose, which is to consume low electricity.
Their plan is...
"We want a piece of land, a land of 20 square kilometers, for us to build solar power plants. Moreover, we hope to be in the coastal area. According to our investigation, the coastal area is the most economically developed region in China. It has strong consumption capacity and strong demand. We can sell all the electricity from the ground without long distance transmission."
As expected, Morin spoke out bluntly and expressed the idea of California Solar Energy Corporation's plan to build a solar power station along the coast.
Mr. Li smiled, but felt very embarrassed.
The southeast coast really needs electricity supply. Not to mention a 20 square kilometers power station, a 20-square-kilometer solar power station with a 20-square-kilometer and 2,000 square kilometers of solar power stations, all the electricity can be digested.
The problem is the land!
If California Solar Energy Company chooses to be in the Northwest, he can give it as much land as he wants. There is no one there, with wastelands of millions of square kilometers. Moron and others occupy one square kilometer and there is no problem with emptying one square kilometer.
But the coastal areas are different.
Molen and the others saw that the coastal economy was developed, so there was no mistake. It would be better to invest in it.
But because of the developed economy, close to the seaport and convenient transportation, the companies that first came to China to invest basically chose this location. Where can there be such a large open space in the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta? For Molun and others to build solar power stations?
There are open spaces, but they are the agricultural farming areas that remain. These are all cut out from the industrial area.
Besides, even if there is twenty square kilometers of land, it is impossible to give it to them!
Twenty square kilometers, what to do? You can’t receive huge reports. I’ll give it to California Solar Energy Corporation. How much can they pay for this land?
Construction fee of 1.6 billion per square kilometer?
The purchase fee of 1.6 billion is not enough to pay for this land!
In an instant, countless thoughts flipped into his mind, and he kept smiling and said some polite words. After thinking through the causes and consequences, he immediately said: "On behalf of the Ministry of Energy, I welcome Mr. Moron to invest in China. We have always spared no effort to support foreign investment, especially such high-tech and investment in the field of energy. However, the land in the coastal areas is tight, and it is not a day or two. The phenomenon of industrial land and commercial land seizing agricultural land is also very difficult. However, Mr. Moron rests at ease, we will study it carefully and will definitely find a suitable construction site for your company to meet your company's needs in power plant construction."
"That's so thankful to your government! We don't plan to go out for a trip these days, so we are waiting for the good news from Mr. Li in the hotel." Molun smiled at Mr. Li with a pun, and everyone got to the point. There was no need to take them to various scenic spots and pass the time.
"Hahahaha! No problem!"
Mr. Li didn't feel embarrassed at all, laughed loudly, shook hands with Moron and said goodbye.
He frowned slightly when he walked out of the room.
It is beyond doubt that it is necessary to find a construction land for California Solar Energy Company. He is also full of expectations for Moron saying that he will also look for financing opportunities internationally. If Moron can find investors and invest huge amounts of money in the construction of solar power plants, the country will naturally be optimistic.
It would be even better if the power generation scale of the entire power station could be increased tenfold to reach 200 square kilometers.
But where to find them such a large piece of wasteland that has no development and no other purpose?
