Although Duke tried his best to accompany Shu Ya more, it backfired, and a sudden event made Duke have to break his promise and leave again soon after returning to China, because Dongfang New Energy's first commercial lotus pile contract was about to be signed in Bangladesh, and Duke would replace Shu Ya as the chairman to participate in the signing ceremony of this contract.

"Xiaoya, I'm really sorry, it seems that I have to break my promise again, it's really inappropriate for me not to go to this matter." Looking at Shu Ya, whose belly began to grow a little, Duke looked at her very apologetically, to be honest, in this case, Duke was really reluctant to leave.

"What do you say, the company's affairs are important, this time the company was able to win the first commercial nuclear power plant construction and operation contract, I am not convenient to go, naturally only you go, to say that this child is not at the right time, this is not just in time for the company to be busy." Shu Ya's face was calm, not half dissatisfied, in fact, as long as Duke had this heart, she was already very satisfied.

It turned out that the Superman family could not make progress in the approval of domestic nuclear power production and operation qualifications during this time, and now the approval department is stuck in the experiment without long-term safe operation, and now it is impossible to judge the practicability and safety of the lotus reactor, so although the approval department is facing the strong political offensive of the Li family, it still clings to the defects of the two lotus reactors.

According to the construction of a normal experimental reactor, the construction period generally takes five or six years, plus the operation verification and improvement, it is not to mention that it takes seven or eight years to be able to drum up a commercial verification reactor design, which is very perfect from the beginning of the experimental reactor.

But the relevant departments of this matter have to be used as a pass to jam the neck, even if the old Li family is in a special situation, there is no recruitment.

There is no way, in the case that the front cannot be broken through, the Li family only needs to find another way to break through from the side peripheral market. Therefore, while busy at home, the Li family was not idle in the foreign target market, and finally used its strong connections to conquer the Bangladeshi government and obtained the qualification to build the first Lotus reactor commercial nuclear power plant in Bangladesh on favorable terms.

As one of the least developed poor countries in the world, Bangladesh has always had a big gap in power supply, resulting in a serious shortage of electricity, due to the power gap caused by the factory waiting for work to Bangladesh every year, causing the industrial sector to lose several percentage points of GDP a year, seriously hindering the further development of Bangladesh's industry, but also very unfavorable to Bangladesh's foreign investment construction.

However, the infrastructure investment in power construction requires a lot of money, for poor Bangladesh, relying on the country's own strength is completely unable to solve this problem, so Bangladesh has always insisted on opening the power generation market to introduce internal and external private funds to build its own power generation infrastructure, over the years, now in fact, as much as seventy percent of Bangladesh's power supply comes from private power plants.

For Bangladesh, a country dominated by thermal power, the price of thermal coal has soared in recent years, and the cost of thermal power generation has risen repeatedly, so that there is basically no profit from investing in thermal power generation business, so there is less and less private capital willing to invest in power generation, making Bangladesh's power supply shorter and shorter, and it is now seriously lagging behind the growing demand for electricity.

The Superman family also has a lot of investment in Bangladesh, including a lot of investment in thermal power, and the power industry is now one of the main power suppliers in Bangladesh.

The economic strength has reached the level of the Superman family, and the relationship with the political leaders of many countries and regions in the world in which the Li family has invested is good.

Without the dual protection of policies and politicians, the more profitable the business, the greater the risk, and the old Superman sees it very clearly at this point, so the Li family's major investments around the world rarely miss. Whether it is tens of billions of dollars of telecommunications investment such as oranges, or infrastructure investment such as power supply and gas supply in European countries, all of them are like this, and they have gone very steadily every time, which makes the assets of the Lao Li family snowball.

Turning back to it, it is precisely because the old Li family has such a good political and business relationship with the Bangladeshi authorities that they persuaded the Bangladeshi authorities to be the first crab eaters in the commercial application of the lotus pile with extremely favorable conditions.

After paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for consulting fees paid by the Li family and technical consulting experts selected by the Bangladeshi authorities themselves, the consulting expert team concluded that although the Lotus Reactor has not been commercially proven and has certain risks, the risk is not higher than that of any existing commercial nuclear power plant, and it is even more coincidental that among the experts hired by the Bangladeshi authorities is someone who has listened to the Duke lecture in Switzerland, and he obviously knows more about the Lotus Reactor than other experts. Therefore, the conclusion of this consultation report is more ideal than the old Li family expected, and it is equivalent to solving most of the security concerns of the Bangladeshi authorities.

Duke could never have imagined that his trip to Switzerland would have such an unexpected reward.

However, the technical problem is only one of the aspects, and the most important thing is that the price paid by Dongfang New Energy this time is not small, and it can almost be said that it has invested a lot of money.

The construction capacity of 300MW of the Lotus reactor nuclear power plant, will be built in the form of BOT, Dongfang New Energy wholly owned, after the completion of the 70 years of operation, Dongfang New Energy can only operate the first 30 years, once the 30 years of operation after the expiration of the nuclear power plant operating income rights will be handed over to the Bangladesh national power department, and then Dongfang New Energy will continue to provide nuclear power plant operation and maintenance services at cost price.

In other words, the Bangladeshi authorities will be able to enjoy the remaining 40 years of operating income of this 300MW nuclear power plant without paying a penny, and according to the current power generation income, the current official purchase price of electricity per kilowatt-hour in Bangladesh is equivalent to about 0.06 US dollars, with the effective operating efficiency of the lotus reactor as high as more than 95 percent a year, excluding nuclear fuel and operation and maintenance costs, the annual income of this nuclear power plant has a gross profit of hundreds of millions of US dollars, and the net income after deducting taxes and other expenses is at least 70 million US dollars.

With the construction cost of about 1,000 US dollars per kilowatt now, even if the cost of the first commercial experimental reactor is higher, the entire investment will not exceed 400 million US dollars, for Dongfang New Energy, the annual return on investment can reach about 20% stably, which is a pretty good deal, although the income period is only 30 years, which is equivalent to 5 years to recover the investment cost, and the remaining 25 years are net profits. What's more, most of this investment can be completed through financing, one by one, with the current financial ratings of the Li family and Duke, I don't know how many banks will cry and shout to lend to Dongfang New Energy to do this project, and the interest will never be higher than the average interest rate of the bond market in the same period.

What's more, this experimental reactor has a strong demonstration value, and once it is successfully operated, it will have a strong advertising effect on Dongfang New Energy to open up the international power generation market.

Again, it is a very good deal for the Bangladeshi authorities, even in the hands of Dongfang New Energy, they can receive at least more than 10 million US dollars in taxes every year, not to mention, due to the huge difference between the purchase price and the retail price (Bangladesh's power sector purchases electricity at $0.06, while the official retail price is about $0.11 per kWh), the government can also have an additional income of hundreds of millions of dollars in electricity prices every year.

What's more, 30 years later, all the revenue from the nuclear power plant will go to the national power department, and the revenue will be as high as more than 200 million 300 million US dollars a year, which can bring at least tens of billions of dollars in net income to the Bangladeshi authorities during the life cycle of the nuclear power plant.

Tens of billions of dollars is undoubtedly a huge amount of revenue for the poor Bangladeshi authorities, and the current fiscal revenue of the entire Bangladeshi country is only about $10 billion a year. Even if this revenue falls into the government's pocket in 70 years, it is equivalent to a direct increase of several percentage points in the national fiscal revenue every year, and such a huge cake is placed in front of those dignitaries, even the president of Bangladesh can't help but be a little shocked when he sees the income forecast part of the feasible construction plan provided by the Li family.

The Li family's bait is so big that it simply cannot tolerate the idea of refusal from the political leaders of the Bangladeshi authorities.

In most cases, a good relationship between politics and business, coupled with a suitable silver bullet attack, is simply the Li family's only nirvana to attack the city. In a poor country like Bangladesh, it's even more handy.

In the face of such an important contract, Duke should attend the signing ceremony with all reason, on the one hand, to show that Duke, a famous scientist, is the big boss of Dongfang New Energy, so as to show that Dongfang New Energy's Lotus Pile has strong technical support in terms of intellectual property rights and operation and maintenance.

On the other hand, it is also Duke to show the world his existence in Dongfang New Energy, after all, after learning some insiders, Duke has a deep wariness of the old Li family. On important occasions such as when a contract is signed, Duke's own side must be present to ensure that it is not gradually marginalized in the new company.
