Chapter 530: Desert Journey
Another thing that Han Zaixi has come back this time is to develop other areas, and many areas in the United States are still deserted, and large tracts have been vacated. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
For example, New Mexico in the United States is the fifth largest continent in the United States among the 50 continents, but the number of people is only about 2 million.
The population of 300 million in the United States is divided equally among the 50 states and 6 million people, which shows how big the vacancy in New Mexico is.
Especially in this area, there are all kinds of minerals, oil, abundant sunshine, and a large desert that was previously developed by the Americans for gold. Gold prospectors also settled here and began to learn how to survive here.
There was a shortage of water in the desert, so these gold prospectors spent money to buy drinkable water from outside, and slowly this group of people built a city here and became the inhabitants of the city. In fact, this place was originally inhabited by the Indians, but after the European invasion of the Americas, it changed, and the living space of the Indians was constantly squeezed by the Europeans, and now they can only hide in some small places to spend their lives quietly.
And what was once their settlement is now a large city, with a vast oasis in New Mexico besides the desert.
It is not bad to develop in Xi, sufficient sunlight can provide a steady stream of solar energy for people such as in Xi, although the efficiency of energy conversion is not too high, but it is better in quantity, after all, this endless desert is too big, it is believed that it will not take long to build a power plant in Xi to provide a steady stream of electricity to their enterprises and the four continents around, which can relieve the pressure on these continents.
That's right, in addition to supplying its own businesses and New Mexico, Hanzai intends to supply four surrounding continents. After all, energy sources such as solar energy are very cheap, and in addition to the high price of solar power generation equipment, it only takes a few people to watch the power plant and send some workers to repair it regularly.
In 2009, the problem of solar power generation has been solved, but the equipment is very expensive, after all, the heat energy in the solar energy is absorbed, and then the heat energy is converted into kinetic energy, and finally the process of converting kinetic energy into electrical energy is very cumbersome, and in the process of conversion, there will be a large loss of energy, compared with wind turbines, hydroelectric generators are worse. It's just that in this era, Han Zaixi doesn't expect this solar generator to have high efficiency, as long as it can generate electricity.
Han Zaixi was most interested in the minerals of New Mexico, and he planned to send a group of people there to take a good look. If it can be successful, then Han Zaixi will buy it for development, and if it is not Han Zaixi, he will prepare to do some catering things in the city. After all, Mexican chicken wraps and Orleans grilled wings are such foods that have spread to the world with KFC, and Han Zaixi plans to establish a large chain store to sell these foods.
After all, the large chain stores are still very famous in these years, and Han Zaixi only needs to invite some famous chefs to make some local unique foods, and then send the production methods and sauces of these foods to various franchisees, and then Han Zaixi can make money with his eyes closed, but this so-called large chain store must be famous, how does this fame come about? In addition to word of mouth, it is advertising.
In terms of word of mouth, Han Zaixi plans to build two such stores in major cities in the United States, and then train a group of people to be sent to these stores as store managers. Let's experiment in the United States first, and if it succeeds, then Han Zaixi can enter other countries.
At that time, the United States, as the base camp of Han Zaixi, will not change much even if something happens outside.
This is also the idea contained in Xi, with enough capital, there is no need to worry about the capital chain breaking, just need to work steadily and step by step. Now is the most important stage of the enterprise, lay a good foundation, and only then can you let go of your hands and feet to do other things.
Investing in New Mexico certainly requires the support of the local government, and the power plant in Zai is built around the desert, and the government will need help with the laying of power lines.
When Han Zaixi went to lobby the local government, the local government was also very interested, after all, the government-owned power station is too busy now. Most of them still need thermal power generation, which is too burdensome. My family knows that the weather in New Mexico is very suitable for solar power generation, but the technology in this area is not mature, and they are not sure about the safety of solar power generation, and they can not maintain it on a daily basis. They plan to wait and see and wait until the technology in this area is relatively mature, and then they will buy it.
Now they certainly support the construction of a solar power plant in Xi, but they also have some problems. How to calculate the charge for solar power plants, whether to hand over to the government and then to the power station or directly to the power station.
Han Zaixi thought about this problem for a while and then said: "I can give the government 30% of the shares, but the laying of solar power stations, daily maintenance needs to be maintained by the government, as for the cost, the government will collect it, and then transfer it to the company!"
Han Zaixi's words immediately made the local leaders excited, 30% of the shares is indeed a lot, and it also satisfies the government's control of the power system.
The fact is that Han Zaixi is also a last resort, after all, the solar power station is a big head that can continue to provide money to Han Zaixi, and the money to buy equipment is not much, but the maintenance machine is a huge pit.
In addition, there is another disadvantage of solar power generation, which is that it cannot generate electricity on rainy days or at night, so you have to find other ways to generate electricity at these times.
It's just that in New Mexico, the first scenario is basically impossible. After all, even if there is rain in such a large desert, the probability of rain in the middle area is very low.
As for the second case, there is no way to contain it, if there is a memory that can store a large amount of electrical energy, maybe this shortcoming can be solved, but the development of such a memory is too time-consuming and resource-intensive. And ordinary materials can't support such a strong electricity.
It's just that these problems are not yet in Han's turn to be solved. Sure enough, the local government gave Han Zaixi a lot of face, and then Han Zaixi handed over the issue to the local government.
After hearing this, the local government came up with a compromise solution, and the power plant in Hanzai relied on solar energy during the day and coal at night, although the cost was a bit high, but it was acceptable in Zaixi.
