Chapter 261 A new era is coming(1/2)
.
California Solar Energy Company, which has been silent for a year, has once again become the focus of global media
Newspapers, magazines, and online TV are full of solar electric fields established by the company in Hainan. Photos and videos can be seen everywhere. Even if you don’t want to watch them, open the front page of the newspaper, the cover of the magazine, the homepage of the website, and the TV news. They are all related reports and can’t even hide.
The level of hot-smoking solar energy is more than a year ago.
A few years ago, solar energy was just a concept; a year ago, solar energy practical technology was first known to people after being suppressed by oil and energy tycoons.
But at that time, the feasibility of solar power plants was still on paper, and no one saw the real guy.
Some experts have also expressed doubts about the authenticity of solar energy in the media, suspecting that this is a hype for oil and energy providers.
A year later, all the doubters shut their mouths and admitted that the solar era is using unquestionable facts to prove that it has entered the lives of ordinary people.
In fact, the total scale of the solar power station built by the California company in Hainan is only 70 square kilometers.
Not to mention that solar energy can only supply power during the day, even if an energy storage station is built, it can supply power for 24 hours. If the solar power station alone is relying on the solar power station, even the electricity demand of Hainan Province cannot be guaranteed.
But solar energy is really exciting. The sunlight shines on the top of the head and does not require people to provide solar energy that exceeds all human energy needs for free without spending a penny. Moreover, the lifespan of the sun is billions of years, which is almost equivalent to a permanently free energy supply for humans!
How can this not make people feel happy!
They ignored the fact that conventional energy is the main force in power supply now, and dedicated it to solar energy with various praises.
People even gave California Solar Energy Company "hope for the twenty-first century" with such a high evaluation.
California companies have signed hundreds of intention agreements around the world, and have reached an intention to establish a local solar power plant site with one country after another. They have used the other party to provide electric field land and funds as a condition for investment to incorporate major industrial countries such as Europe into the beneficiary groups of solar energy.
Major industrial countries in Europe have always lacked energy supply and their desire for energy is beyond imagination.
Although they only signed an intentional agreement with the California company, the funds have not yet been in place and the power station is far from officially put into construction. It can be seen that European countries in hopes are freed from the shackles of energy and have become the most active countries in promoting solar energy.
It is like a picture that will enter the solar century tomorrow.
California companies have made a round of global publicity and achieved their planned plan. No one doubts about the future of solar energy. Oil prices have fallen sharply, and oil energy companies' stocks are no longer favored. Instead, the stocks of new energy companies have begun to make big strides.
As expected, those oil and energy industries are trying hard to devalue the effectiveness of solar energy, high investment, etc., which cannot restore their decline.
This global trip, California company also successfully obtained the funds needed for the next step of construction.
The European financial companies that Xiao Qiang secretly controlled entered the California company's board of directors in the form of financing and stakes. In the eyes of outsiders, they became members of the California company's board of directors just because they acted quickly and helped when California companies needed funds the most.
Everyone knows that California company has seized the opportunity to supply solar energy by relying on the construction of the only practical solar power station at present.
Its future development will surely be unlimited!
The European financial institutions that provide financing and other banking and financial institutions are very jealous. They also put forward the request for financing and take the initiative to earn funds. They hope that California companies will accept it with a smile.
However, the California company has put on a temporary sufficient funding attitude, as if it regretted the previous attitude of agreeing to the financing of those financial institutions too early, and politely rejected the investment requests of other European bank groups.
Indeed, the existing funds of California companies are already fully sufficient for the future power plant construction needs.
The European syndicates that Xiao Qiang secretly controlled raised a total of 6 billion euros from California companies twice. According to the exchange ratio of euro to US dollar, the 1-to-1.8 billion US dollars, which is 68 billion US dollars.
In addition to the 100 billion yuan financing and shareholding loan provided by China, the existing funds reached as much as 170 billion yuan.
With the free solar panels provided by Xiao Qiang, the actual cost per square kilometer is only 40 million yuan. So much funds can fully meet the construction expenses of 4,000 square kilometers, and there is still a little more.
However, in order to conceal the actual construction costs of solar power plants, the California company's public financial statements show that these funds are only enough for construction expenses of 100 square kilometers. Therefore, the California company has publicly issued ten-year bonds for a long time to meet construction needs.
California companies will invest this money as an investment and invest a lot in other industries such as finance, securities, electronics, biopharmaceuticals, real estate, tourism, etc. to form a huge industrial group.
A future giant multinational comprehensive consortium has quietly taken shape.
By allowing China to own the company's shares, the California company successfully built China into an unbreakable base for solar energy. Then, relying on China, then replacing the authenticity of solar power plants to replace oil energy, and promoting it to the world with a high attitude, thus making a big splash.
Hainan originally had a lot of complaints about the excessive land occupied by California companies, believing that there should be more benefits to develop and utilize it.
However, at the end of the first business year, the California company generously paid a lot of taxes to the local tax department in proportion, which immediately made Hainan happy. The provincial land and land department immediately stated that the state's support for pollution-free industries has always spared no effort. In the future, California companies will expand their scale. If land is needed, the provincial land and land department will strictly implement national policies and fully support emerging industries.
Both the guest and the host will gain their own benefits.
Due to the heavy rain in Hainan, the salt trapped in the rain falls on the solar panels and easily contaminates the lenses. Therefore, the California Solar Energy Company recruited 2,100 local workers to clean the lenses at night and keep the lenses transparent.
As the scale of solar power plants continues to expand, the number of workers recruited by power plants continues to increase.
When the second phase of the solar power plant with a total of 300 square kilometers was completed, the California company will be in the local area.
More than 8,000 power station maintenance personnel are given priority to employing local land-occupied families. The per capita wage is 1,500 yuan, which is much higher than the per capita wage level in the local area. For this reason, the California company's connection with Hainan is becoming increasingly close, laying a solid foundation for the future development of the California company.
After the second phase of the power station was completed, the California company did not directly supply power to the local power grid, but built a Linhai hydrogen production plant and a composite material storage tank plant on the beach.
Every day, a large amount of electricity is used to supply hydrogen production plants to produce hydrogen by electrolyzing seawater.
Electrolyzing water to produce hydrogen is a very mature technology. At the modern hydrogen production level, electrolyzing water into an energy conversion rate of between 75% and 80%.
The only problem is that when it comes to electrolyzing water to produce hydrogen, it requires a lot of electricity.
This time, after the invitation of the California company, researchers from the Universal Company came to the California company openly to provide technical support for the hydrogen production plant. They are responsible for building a high-quality hydrogen production plant.
The completed hydrogen production factory has an efficiency of 83%. Considering that there are too many impurities in seawater than fresh water, the extraction rate is already quite high. It has completely reached the international leading level.
All liquid hydrogen produced is filled and stored and has not been exported.
After that, the California Company's Fuchsia Council was dispatched again and came to Japan's Tehongmaru Corporation, where they stayed for more than a week.
Subsequently, the board of directors of California, coupled with the technicians and business personnel of Hongimaru Co., Ltd., took a plane and headed straight to Rotterdam, the second largest city in the Netherlands and the world's largest port.
A large group of more than 30 people got off the plane and were picked up by the local convoy of Connexxion bus company and Man Light Truck Bus Company. Many media reporters who had just received the news only hurriedly took photos of members of the board of directors of California companies crawling into the car sideways, and then they watched the long convoy leave the airport under the escort of the local Dutch police.
Moron, chairman of the board of directors of California, and Takasu Izumi, president of Hongiba Corporation, were riding in a luxury Bentley RV.
Inside the car are two rows of leather sofas opposite each other, and there is a small table in the middle. It has a super shock-resistant design, so that everyone can't feel the vibration in the car at all. There is also a small bar next to it, and the soft light is projected on the bar, which looks very warm.
Moron and Quan Gang were sitting directly opposite each other, two old men with red faces, who were the owners of two bus companies that were preparing to meet this time.
Moron seemed to be familiar with them, and hugged them intimately, introducing them to them: "This is Mr. Takana Izumi, president of the Japanese Red Maru Co., Ltd. The fuel cell I talked to you last time was developed by their company."
Izumi Takanata used to be a technician, but eight years ago, he received investment from a Japanese consortium to start Hongimaru Co., Ltd. He actually spent half of his time in the company and spent research. Judging from his appearance, he did not leave the scholarly spirit of the researchers. Rather than being the president of the company, he was a not very competent technician.
The research of the company was done with the consortium, and a lot of research data were provided by the other party. The bank did not explain the source of the information. Izumi directly hit it indirectly and couldn't get the answer, so I just forgot it.
However, he highly praised the relevant research materials obtained by the company. Japan conducted research on fuel cells, biocells, etc. very early, and Izumi Takashi used to be engaged in this research. Most of the researchers in the company are old colleagues he dug out from the original research institutions, or recommended by them.
Although the information obtained by the actual owner of the Co., Ltd. cannot keep up with the research results of Japan, there are many new ideas, which are of great help to inspire their research ideas.
He also knew that the syndicates often took away their research data and handed over to unknown people. Therefore, he once suspected that the syndicates had established two related research institutions for batteries, allowing them to study separately and promote each other.
No matter how suspicious he speculated, the progress of the battery research progress of another research institution was obviously much faster than theirs.
The information I received at the beginning was slightly worse than that of Hongimaru Co., Ltd., but I quickly caught up. Later, the other party's research progress seemed to be a long time, and the information received by the bank became more and more deeper. In the past one or two years, researchers at Hongimaru Co., Ltd. have completely lost confidence.
They get the latest research data, and just digesting and absorbing this information, it takes a lot of energy, and there is no way to do their own research.
In their opinion, Hongi Maru Co., Ltd.'s research in the battery field is conservatively estimated to be three to five years behind that mysterious research institution.
Moreover, according to this research progress, the other party's R&D strength will sooner or later reach the point where Redmaru Co., Ltd. cannot catch up. He also saw that the reason why the group invested and established Redmaru Co., Ltd. in partnership with him was to push Redmaru to the front desk as a guise of outward operations. The purpose was to cover up the mysterious research institution.
Therefore, after they got the latest information and made a few samples, they received syndicated instructions to sell this hydrogen fuel cell to two Dutch bus companies accompanied by California Solar Energy Company.
But according to the current situation, Mr. Moron had actually negotiated with the bosses of two bus companies. He came here by himself, just to go through a formality and introduce them to the performance of the latest hydrogen fuel cell.
He thought flashed in his heart, and he quickly lowered his head. He bowed deeply to the other party in the car and said, "I am Izumi Takasu, the president of Hongimaru Co., Ltd., please take care of me!"
"Mr. Izumi Gangzhi, you have to be polite. We are also working together with each other. Hahaha!" A fat old man sat opposite him. On the left, he stretched out his hand enthusiastically, "My name is Gaston-Bazan, just call me Gaston."
The old man on the right opened the small bar in the car, took out a bottle of champagne from the small refrigerator, filled each person with a glass, put it on the small table, and said with a smile: "My name is Crod. The man light bus is our family property, lucky!"
The car drove very fast, but the wine in the wine glass did not sway.
Gaston picked up a glass of champagne, smiled and nodded to Quan Gangzhi, and said to Moron: "Mr. Moron, you are in great beauty now. The whole world is talking about your California Solar Energy Company, everyone is talking,
Rockefeller, you're going to fall at your feet."
"Haha, just a small achievement is not enough." Molun smiled faintly, "The production of solar panels is still relatively limited, and it can only supply a small part of the place. At present, we are just enough to supply power to Hainan Province in China. It is not realistic to build solar power plants around the world in the short term. We can only do it step by step and build it slowly."
"Then let's negotiate..." Mr. Crod was more impatient and immediately spoke, "Can you supply us on time?"
"You mean a liquid hydrogen supply station? Of course there is no problem!" Moron drank a small sip of champagne and pointed at Quan Gangzhi next to him and said, "Look, am I not invited President Quan Gangzhi? Without sincerity, I would not come to Rotterdam. Our second phase of the 300-square-kilometer solar power station is producing hydrogen by the sea, and it has been filled with enough liquid hydrogen for you to use. After you have agreed, our company will come to Rotterdam to build a liquid hydrogen supply station."
"Great!" Crod slapped his thigh, "We have been fed up with Shell's gas over the years. Gasoline is rising every year, and if you have to be idle, you may not be able to provide sufficient supply. Now, we will change all the company's buses to hydrogen fuel cell supply in the future, and we will no longer have to ask for oil companies."
Gaston smiled and turned to ask Quan Gangzhi, "General Manager Quan Gangzhi, we have already read the relevant technical information for your company's hydrogen fuel cell. Do you have brought the sample this time?"
Izumi Tsuna knows Westerners and doesn't understand Japanese titles like presidents. They are usually named as Western general managers. Therefore, he doesn't care if the other party calls him general managers. However, the company has not submitted any technical information to these two bus companies. Izumi Tsuna further confirmed that the syndicate must have joined forces with California Solar Energy Company, but it is just promoting Hongimaru Co., Ltd. to block the eyes of people.
He said more respectfully: "Mr. Gaston, we have brought the latest third-generation hydrogen fuel cell this time. There are eleven models in total, which can correspond to small family cars, off-road vehicles, large buses, trucks, etc...."
Gaston smiled and nodded, "I have read all the information. Then when I arrive at the company later, I will ask the general manager to submit the samples to us. We will ask the local testing department of Luterdam to conduct a comprehensive test. If it does match the indicators listed in the information, we will customize a sample car for further testing."
"You said it earlier!" Moron raised his head and said, "Kurimaru Co., Ltd. has already made a prototype car in Hainan and a Chinese automobile manufacturer. If you said you wanted to see the prototype car, we would bring it here directly. Why do you have to go there more?"
"China's automobile factory?" Crod frowned and looked at Gaston, saying, "The Chinese automobile industry does not seem to be very good. Can they meet our requirements?"
"Don't worry, this car factory uses German technology. All equipment is imported from Germany. When you arrive at your company, I will ask the secretary to show you the design blueprint of the car. It's so beautiful. You will like it when you see it!" Moron said confidently, waving the cigar indifferently.
"Oh? Then we have to wait and see." Crod and Gaston leaned against the back of the sofa and said with a smile.
The blueprint of the land design brought by Moron really satisfied the two bus company owners. The smooth appearance design looks elegant and generous, and it is a bit classical artistic style. It seems that it takes into account the aesthetic requirements of Nordic.
However, the two bosses still solicited opinions from the bus drivers on the internal layout and some technical details, and then fed back to Moron.
As for the hydrogen fuel cell brought by Quangangzhi, it is completely consistent with the data, and even the sample is slightly more than the data marked by the data.
