Chapter 354: The Problem of Cost

"Guo Lao, this time we Boyuan Group is with great determination, you know that we Boyuan either don't do it, if we want to do it, we will do the best." Liu Tao took the plan in his hand and said confidently to everyone: "The preliminary budget, we plan to invest 500 million, first of all, to connect the power network in some remote areas in the central and western regions, of course, we will cooperate with the state in this step." ”

"In the later stage, we will increase the transmission of power to the west, of course, to complete this power plan, we need not only to complete the construction of the power grid, but also to invest a lot in the later project. Guo Lao, you also know that we are businessmen, and in business, we businessmen will never do unprofitable things. ”

Guo Hongtao nodded, he admitted that Liu Tao was right, businessmen are still chasing interests in the end, and Boyuan has invested so much money in electricity this time, definitely not for the sake of the country. Guo Hongtao is also very clear that it is difficult to solve the problem of electricity in the country by relying on the power of the government, and if possible, Guo Hongtao even hopes that more people can participate, but unfortunately not all businessmen have the courage to enter this bottomless pit.

Not to mention the harsh environment in those remote areas in the central and western regions, just the economic conditions there, although electricity has brought them great convenience, but the cost of power transmission is also high, and the cost of electricity may not be as low as possible. Electricity is a commodity, yes, but it must not be a tool for making money.

The above gave Guo Hongtao full authority, including allowing Boyuan Group to join the state-controlled power group. But Guo Hongtao didn't dare to open this opening casually. Although he knew that in fact Boyuan had been involved in many aspects of the state-controlled company, he did not dare to do so. The only thing he can be sure of is that Boyuan Group will realize the things in their plan, but how they will recover the cost is the most concerned issue for Guo Hongtao.

"The cost of using electricity must not be expensive."

"Guo Lao, even if you don't say this, we will never ask the state to raise the price of electricity because of the cost, and we can't do it because of the cost." Liu Tao smiled and said to the old man sitting in front of him, Liu Tao still admires these old people very much from the bottom of his heart. After all, they really think about the interests of the country. And their own interests are always in the end.

Guo Hongtao nodded, he still didn't dare to open this opening lightly, but instead asked Liu Tao about their new power generation technology and transmission technology. In particular, Boyuan has adopted the technology of natural energy power generation on a large scale in remote areas in the central and western regions, and the country is not without this technology. Rather, they want to promote it on a large scale. It's just too hard. The power generation efficiency is simply too low.

"In fact, this technology is not very new, our company's new research and development of solar panels can increase the country's current power generation efficiency to more than ten times, and the power grid we have invested in is also using our company's latest research and development of transmission lines. It can reduce transmission losses by about 20 percent. ”

"Really?" Guo Hongtao has been dealing with electricity all his life, and naturally knows where the cost of electricity is, one is the cost of power generation, and the other is the cost of transmission. Not to mention the new power generation technology of Boyuan Group, even the reduction of transmission costs is enough to make Guo Hongtao excited.

"This is natural, Guo Lao, you should know the scientific research strength of our Boyuan Group." Of course, Liu Tao will not say that this new type of material can reduce the transmission loss by 80%, and if he needs it, Liu Tao can even get the material that is 100% lossless in power transmission, but in this way, there will be many problems.

"Is there a possibility of a nationwide rollout?" Guo Hongtao is very excited, 20 percent of the loss, this is how much energy is saved, you can imagine, in the huge country of China if the efficiency of power transmission is reduced by 20 percent, then what a terrible number, it is no exaggeration to say that the daily reduction of loss is enough for a second-tier city to consume electricity for a day.

"What does Guo Lao think?"

Guo Hongtao was asked by Liu Tao and immediately fell into contemplation, now the power grid in the eastern developed areas has been formed, although there will still be a problem of electricity difficulty, but if Boyuan Group can solve the electricity consumption in some areas of the central and western regions, then with the country's existing power generation strength, there should be no big problem in ensuring the electricity consumption in the east. In this way, we have to talk about the cost again, the current power grid has been successfully built, so if you want to quote Boyuan's new technology, the project involved is quite large, and the cost is also unusually high, and Boyuan's power grid and transmission system are completely different from the transmission system currently used by the country, and the two have no commonality, which is why the country does not want Boyuan to intervene in the eastern power sector.

"How many years do you plan to build such a power supply network? How can the cost be recovered? ”

"We hope to complete all the investment in the central and western regions within five years, and the preliminary estimate is that the total amount of investment should be about 20 billion yuan, and we have not yet estimated the completion of all the project investment. As for how to recover the cost, this requires us to enter the eastern power grid, and use the east to drive the construction of the western power grid, as long as there are benefits, we can absorb more investment. Liu Tao also did not hide his purpose, Liu Tao himself said very clearly, Liu Tao wants benefits, and the large investment in the west is obviously not able to see so many benefits in the short term, then only the power in the east can bring as much profits.

Liu Tao wants to enter the power in the east, Guo Hongtao has known for a long time, he doesn't really want Liu Tao to come in, the reason is not that Liu Tao is afraid that Liu Tao will take away the profits, but that the water in it is too deep. The investment cost is high, the return is low, and the speed of recovery is almost negligible, and few people will think of investing here. It's as if the western development has been shouting for many years, but so what? In the end, it is still the same, only the state is really investing.

"We still need to discuss, but there is no problem with your electricity access to the national grid, and the state will also allocate a special amount of funds to help you build the power grid in the central and western regions, but I still need to report to the above for the power grid and equity in the east. Also, can you give me a copy of your company's new technology materials? Although Guo Hongtao has full discretion to dispose of it, he still doesn't dare to decide, after all, the amount involved is too large, and he still needs to ask for instructions from above.

"This is natural, but we also hope that Guo Lao can give us an answer as much as possible, and the project will be started one day earlier, and the people in the central and western regions will also have a better life one day earlier." (To be continued......)
