Chapter 350: Cooperation 3

Cai Siqiang now does not know much about many specific technical aspects of his business, but the market is supported by a very professional team below, and Duke did not make much preparation for this negotiation with the Li family, Cai Siqiang has done a lot of homework and has a deep understanding of power supply.

When Duke first began to study nuclear power, he found someone to conduct in-depth research on the power supply chain in order to grasp the relevant trends, so that he has a certain decision-making ability in future commercial development.

Liu Jianji has been in this industry for many years, and it is not strange to know these figures, but he heard that Cai Siqiang has been engaged in the IT industry, and a series of data at this moment casually said, indicating that he is not only no stranger to the power supply industry, but knows it very well like a veteran, so it is quite surprising.

And Duke didn't know when Cai Siqiang could know so much information about the lotus pile, and he had never told Cai Siqiang about these things alone.

Fortunately, Duke and Cai Siqiang have already had a tacit understanding, and Cai Siqiang is usually the leader of business affairs, and then Cai Siqiang will play well.

"Mr. Cai has a wide range of knowledge, it's really terrifying, compared to you, we are all a little old." Liu Jianji couldn't help but say with some admiration, these two young people are really the best commercial gold combination in today's Chinese circle as rumored, one is a superman in science and technology research and development, and the other is a wizard with a very sensitive business sense, the two are perfectly combined, no wonder SAL is developing so fast.

However, since the other party is a smart person, then the next cooperation will be easier, Liu Jianji believes that this preliminary intention negotiation will be very successful, because if the other party is really smart, he will not refuse the opportunity to cooperate with the Li family.

Indeed, as Mr. Cai said, the total size of the global electricity supply market is indeed very large, and as people's living standards improve, electricity consumption will increase more, so no matter how technology develops in the future, it will always need to be driven by electricity for a long time.

Therefore, electricity will be an irreplaceable energy source for a long time in the future, which is the main reason why we have entered this market, which is a rare market that can continue to expand, but this market is not a sunshine. Liu Jianji said that the conversation changed here.

"Frankly speaking, the power industry is now in most countries and regions of power supply, most of the power supply is thermal power generation, we are facing more and more severe adjustments in the use of thermal power generation, on the one hand, there is huge environmental protection pressure, on the other hand, there is the threat of resource depletion, these two bring rising cost pressure, now used to cope with the cost of environmental protection and the cost of thermal coal has risen more than the increase in terminal electricity prices, so that our power supply is not so profitable, That's why we're constantly looking for alternative ways to supply energy. ”

"Including wind power, solar power generation, nuclear power and other new energy methods are our focus on the scope, which in wind power and solar power generation, we have some pilot commercial projects in operation, frankly speaking, from the existing technology, these two new energy methods are very cost-effective, the cost is very high, not to mention, power generation is also greatly affected by natural weather, and more importantly, the power output of these two ways is very limited in time, such as solar power generation at night there is no output, Wind power, on the other hand, may be suitable for wind speeds that are not generating electricity throughout the week during certain seasons. ”

"It is precisely because wind power, solar power and thermal power have insurmountable shortcomings that we are now focusing on nuclear energy, because purely from the perspective of cost-effectiveness, nuclear power generation has the best cost performance, of course, this is on the premise of ensuring safe operation, according to the expert assessment report we hired, before the advent of Dr. Duke's Lotus reactor, in principle, there are different degrees of hidden dangers in the safety of both second-generation and third-generation reactor nuclear power plants."

"The Chernobyl disaster and the extremely expensive post-processing of the Kashima nuclear accident in Japan a few years ago have made us afraid to get involved in nuclear power, because if there is an accident, it will cause a catastrophe for the entire company, which is too high in terms of risk cost, too high for us to afford."

"Frankly speaking, it is the expert evaluation team we hired after a comprehensive assessment of the safety of the Lotus reactor that gives us renewed hope for nuclear power, and the experts are full of praise for the safety of the Lotus reactor, believing that this is the safest reactor since the advent of the nuclear reactor, and there is almost no possibility of explosion in principle, and even in extreme situations such as major earthquakes, the Lotus reactor has the characteristics of rapid shutdown and recovery of nuclear fuel, which can also eliminate the risk of nuclear fuel leakage in time."

The information of these Lotus Experimental Reactors is still confidential to the public market, that is, the industry experts who participated in the Lotus Reactor Experiment in China know that the Li family can get this information, which shows that they do have connections in China that are difficult for others to match. And the disclosure of these information is also a disguised way for the Li family to show their strength to Duke and them, in order to obtain reciprocal cooperation, both sides must have equal strength to be reliable.

"Okay, since Mr. Li and Mr. Liu are so sincere, we will work together to expand the nuclear power market, as for the way of cooperation, I don't think it is as good as this, we inject technical resources, and you inject market and business resources, both sides account for 50% of the shares, the first phase of investment is injected with 2.5 billion US dollars each, and then additional investment will be made according to the situation, how about?" Listening to Liu Jianji's words, Cai Siqiang pondered for a while, and resolutely offered his own price.

If there is a different negotiation object, Cai Siqiang will definitely consider seeking a controlling stake, but for the Li family, Cai Siqiang is already very satisfied to be able to obtain the same status, of course, if he changes the negotiation object, the other party will never dare to promise to get the domestic nuclear power plant production, sales and operation rights.

It is for this reason that Cai Siqiang feels that it is not too much of a loss to exchange technology for the market.

Cai Siqiang's suggestion was obviously a bit unexpected by the other party, according to their plan, they were ready to let Duke technology take a stake, they had some more funds, but to get a controlling stake in the joint venture, they had been working hard for a long time in this market, and the Li family had also worked hard and benefited from the power supply license in many countries.

This concession is beyond the scope of Liu Jianji's authority, and he doesn't dare to call the shots.

Liu Jianji turned his head and exchanged glances with Boss Li, and saw that Boss Li was silent for a while, and nodded lightly.

"Good! Since Mr. Cai is so happy, let's follow this principle and let the professionals draw up specific terms of the cooperation agreement. After talking about things, how about we go play golf for the rest of the time? Liu Jianji agreed with a smile.
