Richard's heart was like an electric current, sinking directly to the bottom, and his face quickly turned pale.

He carried the board of directors on his back, like a dog, nodded his head, and went to contact the various consortia in private.

The big conglomerates, who learned of this information, apparently did not take his small role seriously, but directly contacted the company's board of directors.

Although, in the ruthless capitalist society, there is not much loyalty to speak of.

But being exposed in person like this, and putting a big "traitor" label on his body, still made the cheeky Richard feel very embarrassed.

The door of the conference room opened, and the chairman appeared at the door with a smile:

"Mr. Richard, please come in, we are exchanging some views with the co-representatives of several consortiums, Mr. Theon, on the matter of solar power plants."

"I hope you can provide us with more reasonable advice."

Richard looked into the chairman's eyes, and behind his warm smile, he felt a chill that was cold to the bone.

He calmed down, walked slowly into the conference room, and politely nodded to the board members present.

The atmosphere in the conference room became a little strange, and the eyes of several company shareholders flickered.

Richard felt that he was being targeted by a poisonous snake, but the directors of the company did not show much anger, but looked at him with a pitiful, mocking look.

The long oval conference table, seated across from the company's directors, is a joint lineup.

Among these people, he found at least Rockefeller, First Citi, and representatives of the DuPont consortium.

They looked at him with a false smile in their eyes, which looked polite, but made him feel sick.

A middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a dark gray suit, stood up and held out his hand: "Mr. Richard? Hello, I'm Theon, nice to meet you! ”

Richard was shocked and a little confused.

Of course, he knew this person, and when he reported to the Rockefeller consortium secretly, it was this Mr. Theon who personally met him.

But his current statement is to show that he doesn't want to reveal that he has been in contact with the consortium in private?

He breathed a sigh of relief, pretended to be calm, and stretched out his hand with some gains and losses: "Hello, Mr. Theon, it is a great honor to receive you here. ”

The two exchanged hypocritical courtesies, and Theon introduced him to the people who had come with him, all of whom were representatives of the American energy sector and large conglomerates.

After a period of pleasantries, Richard carefully sat next to the chairman, and had decided in his heart that he should watch more and listen more and talk less.

"So, since you have expressed considerable interest in our solar power plant plan, I wonder how much money you are going to invest in our project?" After everyone was seated, the chairman asked a core question that all members of the board of directors were concerned about.

Paper can't contain fire, and now that these consortia know about it, there's no point in hiding it.

Although the original plan was not to directly contact the consortium, it was only a matter of time before they knew about it.

The funny thing is that the general manager of his own company actually went to secretly communicate with other consortia, which is really a stupid joke.

In this case, according to the boss's plan, letting Richard come out as a substitute for the dead ghost is not wronged him.

Theon exchanged glances with several consortium representatives around him, showed a faint smile, and said, "Mr. Thomas, in fact, we are only here for the first time with you. ”

"We're more interested in the company that can provide commercialization, supply solar cells, if you want to"

"Of course not!"

Thomas, the chairman, refused, not even the slightest intention to discuss.

Seeing his attitude, Theon and the others were not discouraged, but continued to smile and said, "Mr. Thomas, I think you should be very clear about the specific situation. ”

"The combined cost of electricity for the concentrated solar cells you provide is really attractive."

"However, the construction investment of up to 300 million US dollars per square kilometer is also very staggering, and 100 square kilometers is only enough for the electricity consumption of one city in New York."

"And, the disadvantages of solar energy, you think you should know better than I do, when day and night alternate."

"The energy reserve of day and night is planned to be solved by means of flywheel energy storage!" Another company director unceremoniously interrupted what he was about to say.

"This kind of technology, after decades of development, has been fully applied to practice."

"Using the electricity generated by the sun, the flywheel of high-strength carbon material is driven to rotate at a very high speed, and when the sun loses sunlight at night, the slowing flywheel can provide a continuous power supply by driving the motor through potential energy."

"There is already a ready-made supply of 500,000 kilowatts of flywheel energy storage equipment, and only three sets need to be installed in one square kilometer, which is enough to use."

Theon always had a standardized smile on his face, and waited patiently for him to finish before he spoke, "Indeed, you have come up with a perfect solution. ”

"The problem, however, is that the total investment in the power plant is too huge!"

"With an investment of $300 million per square kilometer, to be honest, no consortium will be willing to pay hundreds of billions of dollars in bills for it!"

"But the solar power plants we build can meet 70 percent of the electricity needs of the United States!" The director shouted.

"For less than a penny, we can get five times the return even if we sell it for eight cents or five cents!"

"We can give you a fifty percent share of the profits!"

Hahahaha!

The representatives of the consortium looked at each other and laughed in unison.

Immature! How could they possibly pay their bills up to hundreds of billions of dollars, especially now, when oil energy is still at a high level.

The characteristic of capital is to completely squeeze out the value of any commodity.

Until then, no matter how good or attractive other technologies were, they were indifferent.

And before they get the last bit of return, anyone or business that wants to stop them from making a fortune will be ruthlessly wiped out by them.

There will be no affection.

Secondly, they did not come this time to discuss the matter of shareholding and dividends.

Their purpose is simple.

It is to find the company that can provide cheap solar chips, buy and swallow it, acquire the technology of the other party, and firmly grasp it in your hands.

As for whether to use it in the future or throw it in the laboratory cabinet, they will consider it according to the changes in the market.

If they can't buy it, they're going to use some extraordinary means.

After all, in this world, there is such a thing as "accidents".

There is also something called "accidents".

And there is another saying, which is called that money can make the devil grind.

In the end, even if the consortium is really interested in the construction of this power plant, it will only receive 50% of the dividends. Or don't let them laugh off their big teeth.

When will the consortiums that control everything let others sit on an equal footing with them and eat at the same table?
