Chapter 1732: Fat Ding......
Politicians in the United States want nothing more than those few things, money, power and women.
If the other party is a woman, then there are more jewels and the like, in general, it can be classified in the category of "money", Han Xuan is not cheap enough to send beautiful women to anyone, and the status of no politician is high enough to let him let go of his own discipline, generally speaking, he can be sent away with money and power.
Invest a small part in the early stage, and in the end you can always get more benefits, because you are a businessman, so when doing business, you always put your own interests in the first place, and those politicians just use their power, and they don't need to pay anything, easily change their lives, make it better, why not.
There are probably also the kind of clean officials who are dedicated to thinking about the people, but unfortunately Han Xuan has never encountered it, and those who have the strength to contact him are all high-level, and almost no one among them is clean, even Mr. President.
After a long time, Han Xuan is quite experienced in dealing with it, if he can't, it is generally because the other party can't help, and the money and power transactions between officials in this country are more serious than people think, especially in the nineties when the twenty-first century is about to enter.
For the time being, he didn't talk to Mr. Byron about the specific remuneration of his subordinates as a staff member, and after he helped facilitate the acquisition of Time Warner Group, there was time to talk slowly, Byron was not afraid of Han Xuan's backtracking, so he didn't mind, and made an excuse that there was still something to do in the Senate, so he left first with a smile.
As I said before, he had no advantage in the face of Han Xuan, and he was blocked by Han Xuan moving out of the president to persuade peace, so he immediately decided to change the camp, and used his advantages to exchange some benefits from Han Xuan, in general, he was in a good mood, and it was not a shame to be at a disadvantage in front of Han Xuan, Byron's face was thick enough......
After personally sending the old man to the door of the office, and saying goodbye like an old acquaintance, Han Xuan was also smiling, with the support of the president and the party editor Mr. Byron, I believe that it is not difficult to appease the Donkey Party.
Without the support of the camp here, Time Warner Group has become a fat meat to be slaughtered by itself, the reason why its status was so detached in the past is precisely because of its close ties with the Donkey Party, if Mr. Byron did not come over today, he was also ready to call the speaker of the Donkey Party to talk about this matter, and now it seems that it is not used for the time being.
I was about to sit and rest for a while, thinking about how to organize this year's annual meeting of the company, now that the four towers of the Snow Mountain have been put into use, it has become a redundant thing to go to New York to hold the annual meeting, and this year's annual meeting of the companies will be held in the town of Santa Clara.
At this moment, Joey's assistant led a middle-aged man with glasses to walk in, wearing a white coat, and at first glance it was a researcher from the experimental building. Who is this? ”
"Mr. Cialdini from the Electric Vehicle R&D Department, he has a research report on electric vehicles that he needs to give you, I think it's very important, do you have time now?"
After Assistant Joy finished speaking, Han Xuan nodded and said, "Well, what's the matter, the range of electric cars has increased?"
With so much money invested, it's time to see the results, when will my plans for superchargers around the world come to fruition, and one more thing, the look of the electric car is still not cool enough, I want to make it cooler. ”
The researcher named Cialdini said: "Research is underway on the new generation of rechargeable lithium batteries, and the exterior of the car is a matter for the design department, and I came to you today for another matter."
We have always believed that electric vehicles are more environmentally friendly and effective in preventing the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but according to a recent study by our team, this idea does not seem to be correct, and I think it is necessary to tell you about it before it has serious consequences......"
It sounded like it was serious, Han Xuan suddenly came to his senses, reached out to take the report, opened it and looked at it carefully, his brows furrowed when he saw the first sentence, and he suddenly found that he had ignored a problem: electric vehicles use electricity as an energy source!
In terms of the current power generation methods, mainly through coal, Mr. Sionidi and his team members have calculated through some data that with the current technology in the United States, the carbon dioxide emissions of electric vehicles are no less than that of gasoline vehicles, and the pollution caused may even be more serious.
Electricity is produced from energy and currently comes mainly from coal, so the so-called electric vehicles are essentially electric vehicles powered by coal.
Based on a comprehensive calculation of the production emissions, fuel consumption and energy consumed at the end of life of several electric vehicles owned by the Han's Automotive Group, the result is that an electric vehicle only emits 10 to 20 tons of CO2 over its entire service life compared to the average conventional car.
Prior to this, one of the main reasons Han Xuan advocated for the development of electric vehicles in various countries was that electric vehicles could reduce pollution.
But Mr. Theonidi and others argue that the claim that pollution can be reduced is simply because electric vehicles do not emit exhaust gases in urban centers like ordinary cars, and coal power plants tend to be far away from cities, so the harm caused by air pollution is not obvious for the time being.
According to one of their studies, although fuel-powered cars cause pollution closer to households, coal-fired power generation actually causes much more pollution.
Han Xuan and the company's executives advocate free speech, and even the company's cleaners can criticize Anthony's executive for doing so, if the criticism is justified, and although Mr. Sionidi's investigation report criticizes the company's previous electric vehicle development strategy as worthless, he is not angry, but rather lost in thought.
The United States has now implemented a new policy to subsidize electric vehicles, which can greatly reduce the price of electric vehicles, which can be regarded as official money to help users buy a single part, in other words, it finally goes into Han Xuan's pocket, and Han's Automobile Group is still his private property.
It is completely possible to deceive the people and continue to promote electric vehicles to make high profits, but Han Xuan does not plan to do that, he really wants to contribute something to this society.
After reading this report word for word, Han Xuan closed the folder, stretched out his hand and said, "Please sit down, Mr. Theonidi, is the figure on your report credible?" ”
"It's very credible, we've been following it for more than two years, and all the data is the result of precise calculations." Mr. Theonidi was obviously a little reserved, his body straight, and he sat opposite Han Xuan.
Han Xuan is by no means the kind of character who listens to the wind and rain, and after a brief thought, he continued to ask: "How many nuclear power plants do we currently have in the United States?" What is the proportion of electricity generated by various resources to the total amount of electricity? ”
"It is mainly thermal power generation, which accounts for about 71 percent of the total power generation according to last year's statistics.
The second is nuclear power, and the current annual power generation capacity of nuclear power in the United States is about 710 terawatt hours, and nuclear power accounts for about 20 percent of the country's power generation.
In the United States, we began to commercialize nuclear power technology as early as the 1960s, and now there are 132 commercial nuclear power plants built in the country, but since 1979, when a serious accident occurred at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania, no more nuclear power projects have been built.
Up to now, more than 70,000 reservoirs and dams have been built, with a total storage capacity of about 1 trillion cubic meters, an installed capacity of about 82 million kilowatts, and an annual power generation capacity of about 245 billion kilowatt hours, accounting for about 6 percent of the total power generation in the United States.
The remaining 3 percent is clean energy such as solar and wind energy, and at night it is a trough period for electricity consumption, but solar and wind energy cannot be used, and only water conservancy projects can continue to generate electricity, based on these data, I came to the conclusion of the report......
