Chapter 221 Control of the Energy Industry
(Thank you for your support today.) οΌ
Since the rise of magic software, Wang Xiao has basically been regarded as a public figure, and many people regard him as an idol. His every move is also beginning to attract attention. With the success of Magic Energy Software again and again, his investment project has become something that all investors are looking forward to.
After all, Magic Software has become a world-class high-tech company in just two months from scratch, and now it has more than billions of dollars in revenue every day, which is really exciting.
Everyone wants to know what project Wang Xiao wants to invest in next, and basically everyone who has a little money wants to get a foot in it.
And the last time he faced CCTV's interview, he directly said his next step, which can be said to have caused a lot of shock in China, and many people couldn't cooperate directly with Wang Xiao, so they started to act in private.
For example, the Northwest government has recently encountered many wealthy people and funds who want to buy large tracts of land in the desert, and even most of those funds are foreign funds, such as Sequoia Capital, Quantum Fund, SoftBank, etc......
The northwest region has always been an area that capital does not pay attention to, there are basically no other investment projects except oil, there is no large high-tech enterprise cluster, and there is no financial industry, but oil is a field that is difficult for private capital to enter, so it is almost a blank in the investment field.
Therefore, in the face of the sudden appearance of a large number of investors wanting to buy desert land, the Northwest government was very surprised and almost agreed to all of them.
At present, most of the main financial revenue of the governments in various regions of the country depends on the sale of land to real estate companies, but the population in the northwest region is small, the housing prices are not high, the value of the city is not high, and there is not much money to sell land.
When they saw that the desert could be sold for money, they were of course eager to do so.
But then, when they were discussing the transaction, they suddenly received instructions from their superiors, which demanded that not a single square meter of the Northwest Desert should be sold, and all of them should be preserved. Wait for instructions.
At this time, the Northwest Government knew that it was Wang Xiao who intended to invest in the desert in the Northwest, and immediately rejected all the capitals who wanted to buy the desert without hesitation. I also became more expectant.
After all, everyone knows that Wang Xiao must have mastered very advanced technology, and if a huge industry is really established in the desert, it will definitely be a great thing for the northwest government and local residents.
Therefore, the upper echelons also held several secret meetings on this matter. Many experts were involved in the discussions.
In the end, the conclusion was to probe Wang Xiao first.
Facing the question of the chief.
Wang Xiao didn't think about it, and replied directly: "Seeing that everyone is a smart person, they have already guessed." Then I don't hide it, I want to take the Northwest Desert, in fact, to build a new energy industry. The Northwest Desert has a strong solar energy resource that I want to take advantage of. β
The chief on the other end of the phone received Wang Xiao's answer, and his heart was full of joy, but he didn't come out, and said sternly: "Then how did you plan it?" β
"Take the desert and plant."
Wang Xiao's answer was still simple and direct.
The chief asked suspiciously, "Planting?" What the? What can be grown in the desert? Does it have anything to do with solar energy? β
"Of course."
Wang Xiao replied affirmatively and confidently: "I have researched a plant. It does not need water to grow, only enough sunlight and a dry environment. So, the desert is the best area for it to grow. The plant absorbs solar energy as nutrients to grow, and at the same time produces a fruit that is condensed by solar energy in its purest form. β
This is the means that Wang Xiao really uses to develop solar energy.
The head sitting in the office was wide-eyed at the moment, almost gasping.
Growing plants to produce solar energy?
This......
Arguably.
No one really thought of it.
They thought that Wang Xiao might build a large-area solar factory, using a special technology to solidify the sun's rays, just like he did in class, and then extract the energy from the cured sunlight to form an industrial chain.
This may also be the speculation of the world. Because everyone saw the scene where Wang Xiao grabbed the sun's rays.
Everyone knows that Wang Xiao has the means to solidify the sun's light waves, so theoretically, this means can definitely use solar energy with great efficiency.
However, no one expected it......
Wang Xiao would not have used this laborious method at all.
Producing solar energy in this way requires the construction of large-area generators to absorb and solidify sunlight, followed by energy conversion devices. Converts solar energy into energy that can be used in daily life, such as electricity, heat, and other energy sources......
The whole process is too cumbersome.
Therefore, when Wang Xiao's current ability has reached a certain level, he can use his nuclear fusion energy core to control the molecular synthesis method to make a special creature in the magic world...... Energy Tree!
It is a tree that grows specifically by absorbing energy. The high-level mages in the wizarding world have their own plantations, and it is this kind of energy tree that can provide the mages with pure magical energy crystals.
By planting this energy tree in a dry and energy-rich area, they will naturally absorb the energy and grow, and then condense into pure energy fruits.
The desert is an excellent planting area, which meets all the growing conditions of the energy tree, rich in energy and in a dry environment!
So when Wang Xiao found this plant in his memory, he immediately thought of the Northwest Desert.
The chief was silent for a moment, unable to figure it out when he broke his head, and then asked, "Professor Wang, are you sure there is such a plant?" Not box me? β
Wang Xiao smiled and said, "Chief, what's the benefit of me lying to you?" However, the growth of this plant is not so easy to form, it is estimated that it will take a year or two after planting to start bearing fruit, and after it starts to bear fruit, it will grow faster and faster, and the survival rate is a problem, but I have time. My plan is to grow the entire Northwest Desert with this plant within 10 years. β
It's a scary plan.
The entire Northwest Desert is hundreds of thousands of square kilometers...... The combined area of arable land throughout the country is not much larger than that of the entire desert.
"Wang Xiao, have you ever thought that if you do this, our country's oil industry will be greatly impacted."
The chief said sternly.
"Oil will eventually be eliminated, this is the inevitable law of development, and now new energy is already a hot emerging industry. If the chief does not agree, then I will go to Africa and buy a desert. β
Wang Xiao said with certainty.
The chief hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that, I recently protected the Northwest Desert and did not allow anyone to set foot in it, and it was reserved for you." I didn't expect you to surprise me, and if it does, it will be a huge birth. However, this is the energy industry, which has always been a sensitive industry, and the country must grasp it. β
What does the state want to control?
"It's impossible, I can accept financing, it's impossible to transfer control of the project, that's the bottom line."
Wang Xiao faced the No. 2 head of the country, and also said unceremoniously, fighting for the right to control.
Although energy companies are sensitive industries, and the state has never put private capital into the market, Wang Xiaoke did not get involved in the three barrels of oil of traditional energy companies, but opened up new industries by himself, which is what many private funds are doing.
The chief also explained again: "I didn't mean that, Professor Wang, I'm giving you a JianyΓ¬." It will take several years for your industry to take shape, so during this period of time, we will still rely on petroleum energy, can you invest a sum of money into the current three major energy companies, and we will sell some shares to you. β
"And then you invest in solar projects in the Northwest as a new energy company, so you have a ready-made energy business foundation. Although the state still occupies the majority of the shares, we can promise to give you absolute control and not interfere in management and development. β
This is a feasible method that the chief has discussed with several professionals in the past few days.
With the development of the solar energy industry, then the traditional energy and oil companies will be greatly impacted, China's three barrels of oil itself in the past two years itself is sluggish, this year's revenue is expected to hit a new low in the history of zΓ o. Once Wang Xiao succeeds in building a new solar energy company in the northwest, then these three barrels of oil are expected to collapse.
This is a situation that the state does not want to see.
Therefore, the chief also took the initiative to merge the three barrels of oil into Wang Xiao's energy company with great courage.
You must know that although the revenue of the three barrels of oil this year has hit a record low, it is also a world-class energy company, which can definitely rank among the top ten energy companies in the world, and controls almost all domestic oil fields.
The Northwest Desert is theoretically the chassis of three barrels of oil.
Wang Xiao smiled, understood the truth in an instant, and asked, "Does the chief want me to take over?" β
The chief smiled and said, "I can't say that, the three barrels of oil are still very energetic now." β
"I'll also say it bluntly, chief, it's impossible for me to agree to your offer. You know better than me how chaotic the management system inside the three barrels of oil is, saying that it is state-owned, but in fact it is similar to a family company, and it is not the same. I had to set up my own company, and I didn't have time to go to the three barrels of oil and waste most of my time and energy. β
Wang Xiao also said more politely: "Chief, I still say that the state wants to invest, I can agree, but the shares do not exceed 20%, I will start this project immediately, and the funds have been in place." If the state doesn't agree to give me the Northwest Desert, then I'll have to find another place......"
The chief on the phone was silent, and after a few seconds, the chief said sternly: "Okay, you give me time to discuss and think about it, this matter is very serious, and I will reply to you in a week." β
Wang Xiao replied: "Okay, I'll wait for the good news of the chief." By the way, chief, the total investment of my project is 500 billion yuan. β
"Okay, I got it."
The chief agreed, and simply hung up the phone. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
