Hearing Lin Zhenhua's confident words, Huang Gang smiled: "I knew that I would definitely fall into the pit you dug for me, but I am still looking forward to seeing what kind of pit you can dig." ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "Wind power equipment is a new product, with the increasing maturity of technology, its price will inevitably drop significantly. When the price of wind power equipment drops below a certain level, the power generation cost of wind power will be lower than the price of electricity connected to the grid, and the development of wind power will be profitable at this time, and the world will usher in a period of great development of wind power, which is already a consensus, right? ”

"That's right, it's the consensus." Huang Gang answered.

Lin Zhenhua continued: "At present, China, the United States, Germany, the Netherlands, and some other countries have their eyes on the large market of wind power, and they are all trying to carve up the largest share of the market before it matures. From this point of view, China must not abandon its martial arts, even if it loses money and makes money, it must persevere. Not only must we persevere, but we must also strive to be able to drag down the wind power industry in other countries and form a pattern of dominating the market. ”

"Uh......" Huang Gang was speechless, "Zhenhua, your goal seems to be too ambitious. You know, in terms of wind power technology, China is still a weak country, the United States, Germany's wind power equipment companies, the technical level is above us, we can only take the defensive now, if you want to attack, but also drag others thin, drag to death, I'm afraid it's a bit of a great success, right? ”

Huang Gang has been thinking about wind power for a period of time, and he still has a deep understanding of the situation in this market. Western countries have been involved in the wind power industry earlier than China, and their own industrial base is also better. Therefore, the technical strength is stronger. China has only started wind power projects in recent years, and although the growth rate is relatively fast, in general, it is still at a technological disadvantage.

In order to promote the development of China's wind power equipment industry, the state has made it mandatory for new wind farms to use equipment produced in China, and the nationalization rate of wind farms must not be less than 70%. Relying on such policy protection, domestic wind power equipment companies have been able to survive. Now Lin Zhenhua just wants to drag others to death with his mouth, which really makes Huang Gang feel unbelievable.

Lin Zhenhua smiled: "Huang Gang, think about it. After so many years, which industry has not changed from weak to strong? As an emerging industry, wind power has a lower threshold than traditional industries. Everyone is a new entrant, and this time is just to put in the investment. ”

"Well, I'll partially agree with you." Huang Gang took a step back and waited for Lin Zhenhua to continue.

Lin Zhenhua folded his fingers and calculated for Huang Gang: "Speaking of which, there are many technical problems in wind power equipment, wind turbines are the biggest one, and others, such as blades, gearboxes, large bearings, electronic control, etc., our technology is also a certain gap compared with the advanced technology of the United States and Germany." But we analyzed. In these aspects, the technological gap between us and foreign countries has not reached the level of the generational gap, but only the mature and immature within the same generation of technology.

If the state increases investment, wind power equipment companies will decisively update their equipment and directly target the next generation of products. We are fully confident that we will catch up with the world's advanced level within two years. As long as our technology and foreign technology are equal, if we simply fight a price war, do you think Western countries are opponents? ”

"Funding isn't a big deal." Huang Gang hesitated and said, "However, since the current technology is not mature, we should not spread out too much. Therefore, in the construction of wind farms, we still have to control the speed. In this way, the number of wind power enterprises must also be controlled, which is determined by demand, and we can not help the NDRC. ”…,

"What if we don't have a share of the domestic market?" Lin Zhenhua smiled mysteriously and threw out the most critical question.

"Not a domestic share?" Huang Gang was really attracted, "You mean...... Are you Hanhua eyeing the foreign wind power market again? ”

"The Portuguese national electricity company is ready to invest in the construction of an offshore wind farm with an installed capacity of 500,000 kilowatts." Lin Zhenhua said calmly.

"You mean, you got the order?" Huang Gang asked eagerly.

500,000 kilowatts, that is, 500 megawatts, although it is nothing compared with the installed capacity of thermal power and hydropower, but for wind power, this is a big order. You must know that the new installed capacity of wind power in the United States in 2009 was only 10,000 megawatts, and the list that Lin Zhenhua said was equivalent to 1/20 of the new capacity of the United States.

Lin Zhenhua said with a smile: "We are also the majority shareholder of EDP, and we have already built an experimental wind farm in Portugal before, so it is normal for the offshore wind farm project in Portugal to fall into our pocket this time." ”

Huang Gang shook his head: "No, no, the funds for the acquisition of the shares of Portuguese Power were allocated by the state, and they were just borrowed from your enterprises to implement the acquisition." What's more, you Hanhua is only one of the joint shareholders, how can you monopolize the benefits of this project? ”

"Hey, hey, I said Director Huang, you have a little conscience, okay?" Lin Zhenhua retorted with round eyes, "It took a lot of effort for us at Hanhua to unite various companies to put pressure on the Portuguese government and get this project in hand." Lao Gu and their Xingbei Heavy Machinery didn't say anything, your NDRC came out to fight unevenly, it was too lenient, right? ”

"I'm not afraid that officials in other places will have opinions." Huang Gang muttered quietly. However, he also knew that only Hanhua could settle this matter, and officials from other provinces and regions would not be able to settle it.

A few years ago, Portugal, facing the threat of financial bankruptcy, turned to the Chinese government for help. Fearing that the Portuguese government would not be able to break its trust and that the financial aid funds would not be able to guarantee security, the Chinese government adopted a curve aid strategy, in which the state issued special loans to some large enterprises such as Hanhua Heavy Industries and Xingbei Heavy Machinery, and then these enterprises formed an investment consortium to buy Portugal's public infrastructure and lend money to the Portuguese government in disguise.

According to the agreement at the time of acquisition, the future financial situation of the Portuguese government will improve. The funds will be used to redeem these utilities, which is equivalent to returning the Chinese funding. Conversely, if the Portuguese government's finances continue to deteriorate, China will benefit from these infrastructures and will not suffer losses.

It was at that time that the Portuguese power company was jointly acquired by several large Chinese companies. Although the Chinese side has only acquired a part of the company's shares. But it also has the right to vote. This time, the Portuguese government plans to build large wind farms offshore, when tendering for equipment. Naturally, priority should be given to these affiliated enterprises from China.

Among the large companies involved in the acquisition of Portuguese electricity, only one of them is currently involved in the field of wind power, and GCA has a strong influence in the corporate circle. Therefore. Other companies are happy to give gifts to GCA with Portuguese projects, and everyone believes that GCA will definitely be rewarded for everyone in the future.

Although Huang Gang was not involved in this matter, he guessed more or less that he was not far from ten. He secretly sighed in his heart that Hanhua is indeed generous enough to do things, and its various industries take care of each other, which is the so-called truth that the strong are always strong and the weak are always weak.

"An order of 500 megawatts is enough to support a wind power equipment company. Since it does not occupy the domestic market share, it seems that it does not matter to give you some preferential policies. Huang Gang breathed a sigh of relief. But outside of the words, there is still some leeway, and he still wants to see if Lin Zhenhua can throw more bait. …,

Lin Zhenhua did not disappoint Huang Gang, he continued: "The second project. Lake Turkana Wind Farm, Kenya, a World Bank-financed project with an installed capacity of 300 MW. ”

"You're not going to say you've got the project too, are you?" Huang Gang asked in surprise.

Lin Zhenhua shook his head and said: "We didn't get all of them, and the final result was that we shared the order equally with one company in Germany and one in the United States, and each company got 100 megawatts." The Bank is also interested in using this project to assess the capabilities and services of each wind turbine supplier in order to identify suppliers for other projects in the future. ”

"Great! What do you think. Does this project need state support? Huang Gang took the initiative to ask, it is very important to be able to become a supplier of the World Bank project, and the state is willing to provide some subsidies for this.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Let's try it first, this project is mainly to make a brand, profit is not to think about, I told the leaders of the wind power company, as long as you don't lose money, it is a victory." ”

"That's right." Huang Gang said, he immediately added: "Even if you lose money, as long as you don't lose much, it is still a victory." As much as you have lost, the state will make up for you. ”

"Hehe, after all, it's the National Development and Reform Commission, and the confidence to speak is enough." Lin Zhenhua teased.

"Actually, I'm just talking, I know that you Hanhua don't look down on this state subsidy." Huang Gang also realized that he was too anxious at this moment, and hurriedly retracted the words.

Lin Zhenhua did not continue to dwell on this matter, Huang Gang was right, Hanhua really didn't look down on this state subsidy. Playing the brand is the company's own business, and winning this project will also be beneficial to Hanhua's future development in the field of wind power, and Hanhua will not care about the gains and losses of this city and one pool.

"In addition, there is a project in the pipeline, which is the construction of a grassland wind farm in the African country of Usan, and the installed capacity that we proposed to them is 1 million kilowatts, but this project is still being negotiated." Lin Zhenhua said.

"I remember that you and the president of the Uzan country, Hallore, have been friends for many years, right?" Huang Gang revealed, "In this matter, with the president coming forward to negotiate, can there be any obstacles?" ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "That's right, the current president of Uzan State, Hallore, turned out to be their Minister of Industry, and I already knew him more than 20 years ago. I also proposed the idea of building a wind farm to him, but he received a positive response. ”

Huang Gang said: "Zhenhua, don't patronize the expansion scale, think about whether the other party has such a bearing capacity." In any case, the cost of wind power is still higher than that of thermal power, so can residents and businesses in Usan afford such a high cost of electricity? ”

Lin Zhenhua smiled and said, "Huang Gang, you don't know anything." Africa is indeed poor, but it also has the advantage of being poor, which is the ability to receive a large amount of non-reimbursable aid from the international community. I have already arranged for He Fei to draw up a detailed plan for Hallore, and I plan to use this plan to collect money from various international organizations.

Africa is currently the continent with the least industrial pollution in the world, and the development of wind power will help maintain Africa's environment, which is something that many international organizations are willing to see, so they do not hesitate to provide electricity subsidies for the country. Combined with the income from carbon sink trading of clean energy, the price of electricity used by local residents will be reduced by 10% after the completion of this project. ”

"You're really hollowing out, and you even have the idea of carbon sink trading." Huang Gang said with admiration.

The so-called carbon sink trading refers to the international trading of carbon dioxide emission rights. Bound by the international climate convention, the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by individual countries is limited and cannot be exceeded. However, developed countries have a large per capita energy consumption, and carbon emission credits are often insufficient, so at this time, they will buy carbon emission credits from developing countries, which is the so-called carbon sink trading. …,

Wind power is a clean energy source, and replacing thermal power with wind power can reduce a lot of carbon emissions, thereby saving a considerable amount of carbon emission credits. If these credits are sold on the international carbon sink trading market, a lot of money can be recovered and used to subsidize the cost of wind power. This kind of thing is also being done in China, but what Huang Gang didn't expect was that Lin Zhenhua actually did business abroad.

"Then there's the Venezuelan market, and Brazil is also interested in building wind farms, and we're in talks with Brazilian government officials." Lin Zhenhua was like a treasure, and when he heard it, the dark clouds on Huang Gang's face dispersed.

"Great, Zhenhua, I know that you can bring us some new ideas every time." Huang Gang praised.

Lin Zhenhua said with a smile: "This can only be blamed on your NDRC being too bureaucratic, obviously there are solutions, but you are working behind closed doors, blindly only knowing how to raise the threshold." ”

"We were wrong, we were wrong." Huang Gang said, he was too lazy to be hypocritical with Lin Zhenhua, since Lin Zhenhua put forward a good idea, he went to implement it, Lin Zhenhua likes to say some whining and strange things, and Huang Gang is also used to it.

"I have thought about it, we plan to add an assessment index to the clean energy bases in various places, requiring the proportion of their clean energy products to be exported at least 15% within two years, and not less than 30% after two years. As for your Xunyang, as an export-oriented base specially approved by the National Development and Reform Commission, it enjoys the same policies as other bases, but requires that the export rate of products shall not be less than ...... within two years" Huang Gang said this, dragging his tongue, and at the same time looking at Lin Zhenhua with his eyes, waiting for him to make up this data himself.

"Not less than 50 percent, and in two years, 80 percent." Lin Zhenhua readily agreed. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
