Chapter 258: Unexpected
Moreover, he is not completely without empathy.
In order to dismiss all the more than 1,000 people in the company, the company has also made some arrangements.
Among them, more than 100 technical backbones will stay in the automated factory to do on-site maintenance operations.
The other 500 people plan to arrange them to the first-line assembly line, and only the last remaining 400 people will be mobilized by the company to transfer them to the sales department or work as maintenance workers in the desert power plant.
In short, the company will try its best to complete this personnel change without layoffs, taking into account the troubles that may be caused by the guild.
But if those workers want to be tough to the end, then don't blame him Richard for being ruthless!
If you want to strike, you will strike to the end, and it is a big deal that we will recruit people again.
Richard walked into his office and recalled the events of the past few days, suddenly frowning and suddenly happy.
He looked at a report in his hand and trembled with excitement.
This is a test report of the latest solar sheets.
The results of the above data are specially marked: "The photoelectric conversion rate reaches 49%!" ”
It's amazing!
Because theoretically, the upper limit of the photoelectric conversion efficiency of silicon solar sheets is about 33%.
And this batch of solar chips has reached a terrifying conversion rate of 49%!
He wouldn't be surprised if it was a report from a lab.
A long time ago, Richard worked as a manager in an electronics business.
Later, he became the executive general manager of Northern California Solar Energy, where he remained for more than five years.
Being able to gain a foothold in this company that frequently changes general managers shows that his own ability is still very good.
He knows, of course, that in some special laboratories, solar panels with a photoelectric conversion rate of more than 40 percent have been created.
However, there is only one case in the world that can be commercialized and mass-produced and supplied to them in large quantities!
The company used the purchased high-efficiency solar sheets, plus the focusing lens purchased from another company, and used the purchased technology to produce a temperature control device to form a complete set of solar cells.
So, when the company's board of directors asked him whether he would still be responsible for installing solar panels in those communities as before, as he did before, as his main business in the future.
Richard vetoed the idea on the spot and came up with a bold plan – to invest in a solar power plant himself.
In this way, the company can be transformed from the role of a contractor to an electricity supplier!
The plan he proposed is not bold!
The investment in building a solar power plant is not small, although the cost of a complete set of solar cells is only 1,300 US dollars.
But to build a solar power plant, including other ancillary facilities, the investment will be as high as 300 million US dollars per square kilometer!
He secretly calculated that with the company's own strength, it could only build a power plant with a scale of ten square kilometers at most, and no matter how big it was, it would be powerless.
So, Richard quietly contacted the Rockefeller consortium, the Morgan consortium, First Citibank, DuPont consortium, and other important conglomerates in the United States behind the back of the board of directors.
A relevant test report was presented, as well as a physical sample.
In Richard's view, he can't eat it with the company's own financial resources, but he is unwilling to give it to others.
Rather than this, it is better to secretly contact these big consortia first, get their support, and preferably get some funds from them.
In this way, their position will be more secure.
And it is not surprising that the company will eventually be swallowed up by these big conglomerates, and it can be regarded as a big tree in advance.
Isn't it better than a small regional general manager right now?
A large number of cheap supplies of high-conversion solar flakes, this alone is enough to make these energy predators tempted.
Richard looked at the report, and his saliva was about to flow.
The company uses 1,800 times the focusing lens to assemble a solar cell pack, 1.7 meters long and 1.7 meters wide, with an hourly current output of 6.9 kilowatts!
One square kilometer, without considering the reserved detection channel, at least more than 200,000 solar cells can be arranged.
The power generation can reach about 2.3 million kilowatts per hour!
The test report said that these solar sheets are made of special crystalline silicon materials, with stable performance and very high quality.
It can achieve an ultra-long service life of 20 to 30 years.
Even if it is a compromise, it will be twenty-five years!
As long as it generates electricity for eight hours a day, 365 days a year, the construction cost of 300 million US dollars per square kilometer is spread out evenly, and the cost per kilowatt is less than a penny!
If it weren't for such a great cost advantage, Richard would not have proposed to the board of directors on the spot to build the power plant himself instead of being a seller.
If it weren't for the fact that the cost of this electricity was so low, Richard wouldn't have dared to go behind the board of directors and quietly run to contact the major consortia.
He was right, those greedy consortia, seeing this extremely low-cost energy advantage, would definitely not be able to hold back and participate in this!
Even if the company relies on its own strength and finally builds a power station, it will inevitably be swallowed up and acquired by those consortia.
Instead of looking at other people's faces and being swept away.
It's better to strike first and take refuge in the future master in advance.
Those guys on the board of directors are still stupidly thinking that they go out every day to go to the bank to raise money and raise construction costs.
Ha ha!
They also don't want to think about the whole of the United States, which bank has the ability to afford a huge investment of hundreds of billions of dollars.
Even if they had so much money, they would not allow it to be slowly returned for more than twenty years.
In addition to the U.S. Department of Energy, only those big conglomerates are likely to pay for such a large sum of money.
Thinking of a bright future, Richard was overwhelmed with excitement and walked around the office.
However, his eyes were always fixed on a telephone on his desk.
Hopefully, the phone rings with good news, and rings sooner.
Bell bell bell ~
The sudden ringing of the phone made Richard feel excited.
He swooped down on his desk and grabbed the phone.
"I'm Richard! ..... What.... Chairman? ”
"Yes, to the conference room, understood, I'll be right away."
Richard put down the phone in disappointment, not knowing what those guys on the board were doing, why did they suddenly call me to the conference room?
Is it to blame me for not dealing with the issue of workers' strikes?
Suspicious, Richard put on his coat, deliberately tidied up his appearance in front of the mirror, and left the office with a confident smile.
He came to the company's office building, a conference room on the ninth floor.
As soon as he pushed the door open, his hand quickly retracted as if he had been electrocuted.
In the conference room, he clearly saw the people of the Rockefeller consortium, sitting proudly in it!
I was betrayed?!
