The current electricity supply of the port of Fesos also relies on a power station built during the colonial period of the last century. The power station was nationalized in the 70s and upgraded.

But fifteen years ago, as a result of the unrest and a severe economic crisis, the prices of many assets in the country plummeted, and the Sofina investment company in Belle took the opportunity to buy a number of electricity and energy supply facilities, including the Afsoport power station.

At present, there are two sets of generator sets built at the beginning of this century, with a total installed capacity of 20,000 kilowatts, which are relatively old, and when one of the units needs to be maintained, only the other unit is running for power generation.

Therefore, the current maximum power supply scale of the African port is 20,000 kilowatts, and only 10,000 kilowatts can be guaranteed. Only a few neighborhoods such as the southern waterfront, the central district, and the trade district have a stable supply of electricity, and other places have frequent power outages, while many suburbs have no power supply at all.

The so-called stable supply refers to the use of electricity for daily use, as for the use of electricity for industry...... There doesn't seem to be any large-scale industry here. Some important production units, such as international hospitals and international terminals, have their own emergency generator sets all year round to prevent sudden problems in the power supply.

The 100,000 kilowatt heavy oil power plant built with the aid of Dongguo, with a total of three units, is currently very advanced and very mature technical equipment, with very stable operation, low failure rate, and much lower production and maintenance costs.

As soon as the agreement for the project was signed, the share price of Sofina Investment fell in response. It may not be a big deal for a power station like Afso Port, but a certain trend it represents has a big impact.

Not long ago, the authorities of several Mile countries have made a subtle change in their attitude towards this aid project, saying that they want to suspend the construction. The central government of the country also indicated that it no longer wanted to provide repayment guarantees and asked whether the local authorities in Port Fesom could provide a separate guarantee for repayment.

On the surface, the reason is that the impact of the global epidemic has led to a decline in economic growth expectations, and there is not so much demand for electricity in the non-Sosogang port for a long time.

Power generation requires a cost, and once the unit is in operation, it cannot be easily stopped, and it may be difficult to make a profit after completion. This not only makes it difficult to guarantee repayment with the income from power generation after operation, but also may drag the port into the debt abyss of continuous loss.

After the completion of the project, there was a problem with debt repayment, which Lei Yunjin encountered. But now that the foundation stone of the project has just been laid, this is the first time he has encountered it, and it is clear that there are people who do not want the power plant to be completed smoothly.

Now, some gossip is said that Sofina Investment Co., Ltd. lobbied the government of a few miles to build such a power plant on the economic scale of Non-Sopho, on the one hand, they said that they would upgrade the existing power plant and increase the power generation capacity to meet the demand for electricity in a more economical way, without the need for the government to bear the risk of guarantees.

There are also rumors that an international charitable fund has provided millions of dollars in aid to the country for environmental protection. The aid goes directly to the government in cash, but with the political condition that the government cannot support projects that affect environmental protection.

It is difficult to say what projects will affect the environment, although it is not publicly stated, but the organization verbally pointed out in the communication that the government of several countries cannot support the heavy oil power plant project in the port of Africa, and cannot provide it with a national credit guarantee, which is the premise of charitable assistance.

I don't know if these gossip are true or not, and Lei Yunjin can't verify them anyway. However, the attitude of the government of several miles has indeed changed, citing the impact of the epidemic as an excuse and unwilling to continue to provide guarantees, so the construction of the project has been stalled and has not been explicitly canceled.

After hearing this, Hua Zhenxing asked, "What about the part of the power plant that has already been completed?" ”

Lei Yunjin: "We have completed the site leveling, and there is a supporting heavy oil transportation terminal. This project is owned by the North Bay District Government, and the owner is the North Bay Power Company, which was specially established for this project. In the latest news, Sofina Investment Company wants to buy North Bay Power Company at a low price, and their stock price has recently risen again. ”

Hua Zhenxing glanced at Li Xiaoyang and said, "Then it is better to buy Huanxiang Industry and buy it from the Beiwan District Government." I understand the situation in the country of several miles, and the so-called three-tier system of administrative governance is no less than that of the Union of Chiefs. The government of Jili Province and the government of Feisuo Gang cannot control this kind of decision of the government of Beiwan District. ”

Li Xiaoyang nodded and said: "Yes, so the government of the country can only not continue to provide guarantees, and cannot directly stop this project." We bought it and we can continue to build. ”

Lei Yunjin was stunned with his wine glass, and said after a while: "Even if you buy it, it's not easy to deal with, this is an aid project, and the China Development Bank provides a loan." I understand our policy that there must be a national credit guarantee, even if it is guaranteed by the North Bay District government. ”

Hua Zhenxing said with the strength of wine: "Huanxiang Industry can use gold as a mortgage to Dongguo Bank as a guarantee, or pay the project directly in installments according to the progress." There are other ways to think about it. ”

Li Xiaoyang continued to nod and said, "Yes, you can think about it again, there will always be a way." ”

Hua Zhenxing also learned the details of the heavy oil power plant project for the first time today, and he immediately felt that he must try to save and build the power plant. Whether it is the creation of the Kelin District, the transformation of the Beisuo River Basin, and the construction of Zhenxing State in the future, it is nonsense to have an adequate power supply.

This is also the reason why Hua Zhenxing insisted that the upstream reservoir should also become a hydropower station when discussing the reconstruction project of the Beisuo River Basin. It is too early to count on the hydropower plant, but the heavy oil power plant project will be up and running soon. Listening to Lei Gong's meaning, only other conditions are fine, and it can even be completed faster than the original plan.

The problem of infrastructure and economic development is a cycle of chicken and egg, and if this virtuous circle is not established, it will be a dead knot that cannot be opened. Although Hua Zhenxing still lacks specific engineering experience, he definitely has this insight.

Lei Yunjin drank a little too much, raised his glass and said: "Mr. Li, on behalf of the engineering headquarters, I respect you and your company!" If you can really solve the power plant project, it will help us a lot!

To tell the truth, the first and second phases of the reconstruction of the Beisuo River Basin, which we just talked about, are only a drop in the bucket for the command. I have 1,500 people here, even if I take over your project, it won't be enough, and even the labor cost is not enough......"

TEPCO No. 1 Company dispatched construction workers overseas, and the per capita cost a year was about 200,000 Dongguo dollars, or 300 million yuan a year if it was calculated as 1,500 people.

After the completion of the Feisuo River Bridge, a group of workers were supposed to return to China, but due to various reasons, they could not be evacuated for the time being. Even if the project of Huanxiang Industry is next, the third phase of the reservoir project is currently only planned, and the first and second phases of the project have a construction period of one year and a cost of 100 million, and even the labor cost of the project department is far from enough.

Of course, the first and second phases of the Beisuo River Basin reconstruction project will not need so many people, and only if the heavy oil power plant project can be successfully launched, can it be regarded as a real solution to the problem of the project headquarters, otherwise most of the engineering and technical personnel will have to try to return to China in batches.

Once these people leave, it will be difficult to find them, and their role will be irreplaceable in the local area. And as long as there are enough projects running, even if someone returns to China, TEPCO No. 1 will send people to rotate again.

On the way back after eating, Hua Zhenxing has been thinking about this problem, and there are two main contradictions at the moment, one is how to deal with the local authorities in the North Bay District, and the other is how much money does it cost?

Uncle Mo provided 100 million meters of gold, stating that this is the annual budget of Huanxiang Industry, and 50 million has been spent so far. As for the remaining 50 million meters of gold, equivalent to 350 million yuan, it seems to be a lot, but it will be used elsewhere.

The projects we are talking about today, except for the two small projects of apartment buildings and new block construction, all the funds required by Hua Zhenxing have to figure out how to do it themselves.

He used to be just a guy in the grocery store, how could he do such a big thing? But if you dare to dream, you dare to do it, and he still wants to do a happy country!

Hua Zhenxing sat in the car and silently settled the accounts. According to Lei Yunjin's introduction, the total cost of the heavy oil power plant is 124 million US dollars, and the cost of the first and second phases of the Beisuo River reconstruction project is 100 million yuan. The total cost of these two items is about 140 million meters, and the payment cycle is one to one and a half years.

How much money does Hua Zhenxing expect to mobilize? At present, there are fifteen million meters of gold in the account of the Golden Dictionary Bank. The mining company is expected to be able to purchase two tons of mineral gold for 40 million meters of gold, which can refine 1.4 tons of pure gold, which is equivalent to more than 93 million meters of gold income if the refining cost is not calculated.

In other words, he can raise about 120 million meters of gold, which is basically enough. Moreover, there will be new gold production in the port of Africa this year, although it is impossible to buy so much again, but it is also a source of profit.

The accounts are very clear, Hua Zhenxing only didn't expect that his "refining ability" was so exaggerated? One four tons a year means that he has to refine seven or eight catties of pure gold every day, which is comparable to a small factory.

Seeing that Hua Zhenxing was silent, Li Xiaoyang, who was sitting in the front row, asked, "Xiaohua, have you drunk too much?" ”

Hua Zhenxing: "No, I'm thinking about what I talked about today." ”

Looking at Li Xiaoyang's appearance, he didn't worry about the funds, but said with a smile: "The big harvest is coming to life again, whoever tells him to love and be able to do it, then he can work hard!" ”

Man Man next to him whispered what they were talking about, and Hua Zhenxing explained in the local language. Man Man nodded and said: "Those who are capable work more, and those who love to be able will work more." Hua, you are also quite reckless, you can do anything! ”

Hua Zhenxing was speechless for a while, how could she not distinguish between praise and disapproval, is this a compliment or a loss? But looking at Manman's innocent little eyes, he should be praising him sincerely, and it seems that he has to learn the language well.
