Chapter 560 Tukuruwei Power Plant

……

"Where is the gas pipeline from Santa Cruz to São Paulo now?" Guo Shouyun asked.

"It's already in Londrina, and you can get to São Paulo in three months at most!"

"Do you have any plans for the next step?"

Travis nodded, "In the next step, we plan to build a 1,582-mile natural gas pipeline from Victoria, the capital of Espírito Santo, through Rio de Janeiro, Santos, Curitiba, and Florianópolis to Porto Alegre, the capital of Rio Grande do Sul, with a total investment of $2.1 billion." In addition, we will connect São Paulo and Santos with a 33-mile pipeline that will connect all of our natural gas sites in Brazil. ”

"What about downstream facilities?"

"We are currently in talks with Paul Peter, the main power distributor and power generator in Brazil's southeast coast, and the communication is very smooth, and if there are no surprises, we will be able to sign the contract this month. ”

Paolo Peter is Brazil's ninth and seventh largest electricity distributor and power producer, and with Pacific inheriting from Enron and Brazil's fourth-largest electricity distributor and power producer, Santo Eritto, Pacific Energy will be the third largest integrated electricity operator in Brazil after Electro Brasil and Semic.

“… In addition, we are in talks with Miropolis, Brazil's largest domestic gas distributor and retailer, and there is not much progress yet! Another thing is that Petrobras is currently preparing to start an extension of the gas pipeline connecting Uluguayana to Porto Agre. If this agreement passes, then there will be some competition with our pipeline in the future. ”

At present, there are two main domestic natural gas pipelines in Brazil. The first is the Bolivia-Brazil line, where the partners are Petrobras and Enron, and of course after the annexation of Anron, it was replaced by the current Pacific Energy. The other is the Argentina-Brazil line, which runs from Paraná, Argentina to Uluguayana, Brazil, in partnership with Petrobras, Shell and BP, with a total investment of $350 million and a total length of 350 miles.

Originally, according to the plans of the three companies, after the completion of the Paraná-Uluguayana pipeline, an extension connecting Uluguayana to Porto Alegre would be built, and it was planned to be put into operation in 2002. Unfortunately, in January 1999, the Brazilian financial crisis erupted, followed by the Argentine financial crisis, and the South American economy was in turmoil, and the project was put on hold.

"When?"

"Last week. When we were talking to Petrobras about the Porto Alegre to Victoria pipeline, they invited us to work with Pacific Energy. ”

"What about BP and Shell?"

Travis shook his head, "There's no word for sure. ”

"It's possible to talk to Petrobras, but to talk about the Uluguyana-Porto Agre gas pipeline as part of our coastal pipeline extension. Guo Shouyun thought for a moment and said.

In the long term, Brazil's natural gas demand is growing. Moreover, Pacific Energy, which annexed Enron, has a sufficient distribution and retail network in the Brazilian market, and is relatively mature in terms of market and contacts, which meets the requirements for large-scale expansion.

"Understood!"

"Is the Tukuruwe Power Plant Expansion Complete?"

"We are currently undergoing a final overhaul and will be able to generate electricity as soon as Bolivia's natural gas arrives. Travis nodded.

Located north of São Paulo, the Tucuruwe power plant is the successor of the Pacific Ocean to Enron, with an installed capacity of 475 megawatts. But in order to meet the growing electricity consumption in São Paulo and the surrounding area, and to make the most of natural gas from Bolivia. A major expansion of the entire power plant was carried out.

After two years and an investment of $930 million, the new Tukuruwe power plant currently has an installed capacity of 1,358 megawatts. Not only is the Pacific Ocean the largest power plant in Brazil, but it is also the largest power plant in the whole of Brazil.

"Well done! If the coastal pipeline can be crossed, one of the power plants near Rio de Janeiro and Porto Alega will be expanded. We can't let go of the natural gas market, and electricity is also our main business. ”

"Understood!" Travis nodded, "Boss, Petrobras Pedro Parente has said many times that he wants to meet you. You're in Brazil this time, do you need to meet with them?"

As a powerful figure in Petrobras, Pedro Parente is a key figure in the Brazilian oil sector, and it is certainly necessary to see it.

"You can arrange this matter!"

"Yes!"

He spoke to Travis Best about Pacific Energy's progress in other South American countries before leaving.

In the evening, a spirited Al Bevan rushed to his home.

"Bruce, that Neymar is amazing. He's one of the best young players I've ever met, and as long as he develops well in the future, he can definitely become a superstar of Pele's or Ronaldo's level in the future...!"

'Let's go,' said Al Bevan after five or six minutes.

"Why aren't you excited at all?"

Guo Shouyun, who looked as usual, smiled lightly: "I have seen Neymar's excellence a long time ago, and the time to be excited has long passed." So, what do you say?"

"That's right!" Al Bevan, who had calmed down from his excitement, nodded suddenly, "By the way, how did you find this football genius?"

"I found out when I went out for a walk on the beach. ”

"Walking?" said Al Bevan jealously, "why do I, a professional scout, never find a talented player of this caliber while walking? ”

"This Neymar is, so is Germany's Mesut Ozil, so is Gareth Bale of Wales. I'm not a scout in a company like you!"

Al Bewen's incredible tone and eyes made people laugh. In fact, not to mention him, all the scouts in the world combined may not be comparable to him.

"I'm the protagonist's halo and gold finger, you can't compare!"

"What does the protagonist's aura mean?

Monk Al Bewen was confused.

Guo Shouyun did not explain in detail that the subtle words of Greater China lose their charm when translated into English.

"Now that you know Neymar's genius, how are you going to plan his future?"

"Aren't you going to let him go to Santos FC?"

"That's what I'm going to do. But you're the boss of Bevan Sports Economics. ”

"I know. But your plan is right for Neymar. Santos' youth level is among the best in South America. And here, it is convenient for him to participate in more competitions. You know, for footballers, you have to play more games to grow better. Moreover, Santos' attacking football is also suitable for Neymar's position as a striker. … By the way, didn't you say you were going to buy Manchester United, and now that the Russian tycoon has bought Chelsea, and the Premier League has loosened up a bit, are you not ready to do it?"

"I have my plan, don't worry about it!"

Al Bewen shrugged, "Is dinner ready, I'm hungry?"

"You're really not polite at all. ”

"This is not another place, I'm polite!"

"Wait, dinner will be ready in a few minutes. ”

"That couldn't be better. By the way, is there a delicious spicy large intestine?"

After experimenting with the beauty of Chinese food, Al Bewen, who once refused to use animal offal, has now become a big believer in spicy large intestine and pork liver vermicelli soup.

"Knowing that you are coming, I have asked Lao Lin to prepare, and I will serve it to you when it is ready. ”

Lin Zhirong, one of the chefs recruited by Guo Shouyun from Huaxia, came to Brazil this time, and he was the most important logistics staff in addition to Guo Shouyun's secretary and bodyguard.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation, Guo Shouyun is the most particular about food.

"Hey, that's great. ”

After dinner, the two went to the balcony on the roof of the villa to rest.

"Smoke?"

Looking at the cigarettes he handed over, Guo Shouyun shook his head.

"Not interested!"

"Your life is really boring. ”

"I still want to live a few more years and see the world better. Guo Shouyun said.

If you can't enjoy what you want, there's no point in living a long life!"

"The Tao is different, not the same. ”

"I don't understand what you're saying. After a pause, Al Bevan glanced at him and said slowly, "Bruce, I heard that you are married to the Roosevelt family, and you want to marry that woman named Wendy?"

Guo Shouyun's brows moved. Although not much is known about his marriage to the Roosevelt family. But with Al Bevan's current economic status and his connection to himself, it wasn't too hard to know.

"That's right. ”

After a brief consideration, Guo Shouyun nodded.

Al Bevin, who had long understood that with his status and status, it was impossible to guard his comatose sister for the rest of his life, did not show much anger.

In fact, in today's impetuous society, marriages that can persist for ten years without divorce are rare, but they account for less than half. And this is the result of deducting those bachelors, otherwise the proportion is even lower.

"How are you going to place Molly?"

"Al, I remember telling you a long time ago. Although Molly and I are not married, in my heart she has long been my wife, and I will not abandon him. ”

"I know. But can your fiancée accept the existence of another woman in the family?" said Al Bevan with a nod.
