Chapter 522: "Nuclear Power" War! (2)
Therefore, in the face of this extremely unfavorable market desperate situation, these traditional nuclear power bigwigs began to take the usual path, and they can't get rid of their opponents in business, so they can find a job in the government, which is everyone's biggest backer, for these big countries in Europe and the United States, the nuclear power market is basically not able to lose, because it is related to the development of the entire nuclear power industry, the large version of nuclear power plants need to solve the growing problem of power supply, and the small version of nuclear power reactors should be used on large naval ships as reliable power.
Therefore, for the big countries of Europe, the United States and Russia, they must maintain a nuclear power industry chain that can be continuously updated, which is not only a matter of hundreds of billions of dollars in market economic interests, but also related to national interests.
Nuclear power plants are a source of profit for European and American nuclear power companies to sustain the industry, and if this source is cut off, the cost of developing nuclear power equipment for the navy alone will be too high for the navy to afford.
Not every developer has Duke's ability to defy the sky, and it is only after having a complete and feasible nuclear power design plan that it is slowly realized according to this plan. Although there are still some things that need to be explored in the implementation process, most of the designs are ready-made, and Duke can have the ability to defy the sky and build the entire industrial chain in such a short period of time.
If Duke were to make this happen from scratch, even with that principle and a supercomputer like Kerry, it would probably still be an experimental reactor design.
When I have and you don't, European and American companies and countries will all raise the same voice and demand the rest of the world to protect intellectual property and open markets.
However, when other countries finally rise in a certain industry and pry open the market of these Western countries with huge blood and sweat to gain the upper hand, they will erect the banner of trade protection, often raise anti-dumping voices, and suppress competitors for various reasons, so as not to let them grow up, even if it is a trivial thing such as shoes or lighters, they will be suppressed by high tariffs.
Therefore, after Dongfang New Energy and Dongfang Nuclear Power stabbed the Western nuclear power companies in the waist, they used national power without hesitation to launch a counterattack.
Rosatom acted the fastest, and their boss quickly persuaded the government to take the lead in declaring that the Lotus nuclear power plant had not undergone rigorous design and testing, and that it had unpredictable safety risks, and refused to issue a permit to build in Russia, closing the door to the Lotus nuclear power plant into Russia.
Immediately after General Electric also moved, the US government also banned the temporary construction of the Lotus stack in the United States under the same pretext, of course, they were more cunning and confusing, and asked Dongfang Nuclear Power to provide detailed information for their evaluation, and if it met the requirements of the US nuclear power plant construction, the ban would be lifted. This is tantamount to forcing Dongfang Nuclear Power to hand over its core secrets to the Americans, and Duke will certainly not do such a stupid thing.
The European Union and Japan, which have always followed the United States, have also issued similar bans to the United States at the request of Framatome and Toshiba.
After a series of bans swept like a storm, the nuclear power markets of developed countries basically closed their doors to the lotus reactors, so that the market of nuclear power in the East was suddenly compressed in Asian, African and Latin American countries. And that's not all, these Asian, African and Latin American countries have basically received safety warnings from the United States and European nuclear power companies, claiming that the safety of the Lotus reactor has not been strictly verified, the environmental impact on the world is unpredictable, and if this technology is used to build nuclear power plants, they will bear the consequences.
This time, these traditional nuclear power bigwigs in Europe and the United States acted quickly, and almost completed these important policy protection bans and off-site small actions in more than a month, so that the European and American projects contacted by Liu Jianji had just begun and had to be ended in a hurry. The prospective owners of the nuclear power plant told Liu Jianji with great regret that they could not do anything about the non-economic factor of the government, even though they believed that the technology of the Lotus reactor could be trusted.
In this way, the first round of enthusiasm set off by the successful operation of the project in Bangladesh and Pakistan was poured with several large basins of cold water before it could boil, and the largest market space was forcibly suppressed. At present, with the exception of particularly poor countries such as African countries and particularly determined countries such as the Gulf countries, contacts with Dongfang New Energy and Dongfang Nuclear Power have basically been suspended.
Countries that were originally ready to raise their own funds for construction, such as Sweden and Denmark in Europe, were restricted by the EU ban and put the construction project on hold for the time being, but they are not stupid, after seeing the benefits of the lotus reactor, they no longer look down on the traditional nuclear power plants, and now they would rather be empty than go to those traditional nuclear power plants in Europe and the United States.
South American countries, on the other hand, have been forced by the pressure of the US government, and now they are all beginning to wait and see, this is the backyard of the United States, after the American boss speaks, except for a thorn like Chavez, who dares to disobey the boss's opinion.
In the face of this severe external market environment, Liu Jianji and others can't bear it, how to play this, more than 80% of the world's market is equivalent to being banned from entering, so that the old Li family, who is ambitious and ready to do a big job on this, how to promote, Europe and the United States are tantamount to directly killing the growth space of the lotus pile, and buying time for companies such as General Electric and Framatome.
"Duke, we can't just put up with this kind of despicable means by our competitors." Li Dashao, the head of the old Li family, and Li Hao, the business head of Vice Chairman Li's family, came to Rongcheng to find Duke to discuss how to solve the current situation. "We have to fight back resolutely to be able to break the blockade of our competitors as soon as possible. Today, we sit down to discuss a solution. ”
"Frankly speaking, the resolution of this matter is no longer purely a commercial issue, but more of a political solution, so this is beyond our company's ability, and we need the support of the government to have room for manoeuvre."
Although Li Dashao's words are as gentle and elegant as usual, but this time the opponent is really deceiving people too much, and it is simply about to cut off the biggest financial road of the old Li family in the future, so in the gentle words, Li Dashao has already indicated that the old Li family does not hesitate to use the family's political influence to solve this problem this time, but this is a big thing, and it is very difficult to promote it by relying on the political influence of the old Li family alone, and Li Dashao must pull the other two families in to promote it together.
