Chapter 192: Divergent Paths
End of September.
The Paper plans to invest in two new car plants, one in Zhengzhou, Henan province, which will focus on the development and production of electric engineering vehicles.
Another automobile plant is in Chao City, Lingnan Province, which produces passenger cars, which is equivalent to a branch of the Shanmei Haicheng plant.
The Zhengzhou plant is for new business expansion, while the Chaoshi plant is for increasing passenger car production.
Now the surging power of various types of electric vehicles, that is in short supply, especially the surging elegant low-end model, now the factory has not delivered the order, as high as more than 70,000 units.
Other models also have a very large number of pre-orders, and even the surging lotus of the electric bus model has nearly 1,000 undelivered orders.
With the elimination of fuel vehicles faster and faster, now various car companies have entered the electric vehicle industry.
Of course, it is not too easy to enter the electric vehicle industry now.
First of all, the electric vehicle industry association is a checkpoint, and non-members of the association cannot get discounts on batteries and motors, and recently added carbon fiber composite bodies, automotive chips and vehicle control systems.
If you are not a member of the association, the price may be 30~40% higher when you buy these spare parts, and as the core technology of an electric vehicle, your battery and motor are 30~40% higher than others, then it is still a fart.
Coupled with the patent sharing among the members of the association, it is really difficult for non-association members to survive in the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
Even Tesla is feeling the pressure.
In addition, joint ventures are not eligible to join the EV Industry Association.
Therefore, although there are many car companies holding the production license of new energy vehicles, there are not many car companies with membership in the association, such as surging power, BYD, Geely, Changan, JAC, Lifan, King Long, and BAIC New Energy.
Therefore, the membership of the electric vehicle industry association is jokingly called another birth permit by many people.
Don't think that everything will be fine when you enter the association, after joining the association, every car produced in the future must pass the audit of the industry association, which is generally called internal audit.
If you can't pass the internal audit, then you don't need to go to the Ministry of Industry for approval, even if the Ministry of Industry approves the listing, the association will not recognize it.
If car companies are forced to go public, the consequence is to be expelled from membership, and expulsion from membership is obviously not something these car companies can afford.
Therefore, thanks to the self-discipline of the industry association, the quality of the electric vehicles produced by the members of the association is getting better and better.
After all, if the production of inferior products is found by the association, the consequences will be very serious, ranging from fines and increased prices of parts to sweeping away.
Therefore, the Electric Vehicle Industry Association, known by many as the private version of the Ministry of Industry, does not pass the audit of these two brothers, and it is difficult to move an inch in the Dongtang electric vehicle industry.
……
At the same time, Dongyin Water Company, following the opening of the branch line of Qinhuangdao City and Huludao City, opened the branch line of Chaoyang City in Liaodong Province, the branch line of Tangshan City in Hebei Province, the branch line of Chengde City in Hebei Province, and the branch line of Chifeng City in Mongolia District in September.
Next is the Beiping City Branch, the Tianjin City Branch, and the Hunshandak Sandy Branch.
There is also a branch line of Horqin Sandy Land.
Now the Hunshandak Sandy Land near Sangandalai has been occupied by rows of huge glass greenhouses.
Up to 20 million acres of greenhouses, 85% of the project has been completed.
In addition, the water pipeline is about to be connected, and in order to speed up the construction, the engineering team has adopted a sectional construction, and the water pipeline in the Hunshandak Sandy Land and the water pipeline in Chifeng City are now more than 20 kilometers apart.
Wind turbines are springing up, and graphene solar films are being rolled out more recently.
The graphene solar film, combined with the ceiling of the glass greenhouse, makes the greenhouse self-sufficient in electricity.
General silicon wafer solar panels can generate about 1 kilowatt-hour of electricity a day, while graphene solar films can generate about 4 kilowatt-hours a day.
Graphene solar films generate electricity not only during the day, but also on cloudy days or at night, with an efficiency equivalent to about 10% when sunlight is present.
If graphene solar film is installed on the roof of 20 million acres of greenhouses, 19 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity can be generated a year.
This power generation is almost three times the annual power generation in Japan, which shows how great the potential of solar power generation is.
However, considering that the demand is not so much now, the laying area of graphene solar film is only about 100,000 mu at present, and it is expected to generate 95 billion kilowatt hours of electricity annually.
As for the laying of graphene solar film, whether it will affect the lighting of the greenhouse, this can be assured, because the graphene solar film is almost transparent, and the light transmittance reaches 90%, which will not affect the indoor lighting.
The cost of graphene solar film, plus the sharing of R&D costs, is about 50 yuan per square meter, and the ex-factory price is 200 yuan per square meter.
The property rights of the Hunshandak greenhouse area are only 30% owned by Fengdu Group, and the remaining 70% is owned by COFCO.
Even if it is 200 Chinese dollars per square meter, the representative of COFCO also agreed to lay it.
Of course, this total investment is quite high, that is, other supporting facilities, etc., a total of about 30 billion yuan.
However, this investment can be recouped in a year, after all, 95 billion kilowatt hours, according to the current electricity price, is equivalent to more than 60 billion Chinese yuan.
In the past two years, domestic investors have increased their interest in wind power and photovoltaics, especially with the increasing number of storage stations, wind power and photovoltaic, which were previously considered garbage power, are now very easy to connect to the grid.
Of course, wind power is the mainstream, after all, the service life of silicon wafer PV is a problem.
However, with these graphene solar power generation films, many domestic investors are already ready to move.
As for foreign investors, it's not that they don't want to buy wind power plants or solar power films.
However, storage batteries and solar power generation films are restricted export products, and if you want to buy them, you have to go through approval, otherwise you will go back and forth.
However, Hans's family has purchased a lot of wind turbines, mainly because they have a special power storage technology, that is, hollow concrete ball energy storage technology.
Hollow concrete ball energy storage technology works on a simple principle: make a huge concrete hollow ball and then sink it into the deep ocean, with almost a vacuum in the center of the ball.
When an electric current is needed, the water at high pressure flows to the depths of the sea into a sphere, where it drives a turbine so that electricity can be generated.
If there is a surplus of electricity, the turbine can be used as a pump to pump the water in the ball again.
In energy storage, the current drives a turbine to pump water from the seabed to the land, the electrical energy is converted into potential energy, and the ball becomes a vacuum; When an electric current is required, the process is reversed.
One of the problems in the project was in the engineering aspect: how thick should the walls of the concrete ball have to be to resist the high pressure? The experts of the Hans family calculated that it was three meters.
That is to say, this technology is actually a variant of energy storage reservoir technology, and there is no difficulty in technology, the only problem is engineering and money.
In fact, if there is no high-energy storage battery, this technology is quite in line with my rabbit style, which can not only store energy, but also drive the demand for reinforced concrete.
But now it's just the other way around, Hans's family is playing with hollow concrete ball energy storage, and my rabbit is playing with infrastructure storage batteries.
It's really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.
