Just kidding, not to mention that 1,250 square kilometers of power stations cannot be built, even 100 square kilometers, and the state will not be able to come up with so much money at once.

As long as their technology can make a breakthrough a year earlier, this project will definitely be included in the four trillion plan.

Great support.

But now, the funds have been divided into various departments and localities, and the funds have been earmarked.

How can there be money for such a big project.

Representatives of the Department of Energy returned to the room and stared at the huge number for hours, without rolling their eyes.

He finally understands that foreign solar energy technology is developing so fast, but why there is no large-scale popularization of solar power generation until now.

However, Northern California Solar Energy costs only 2.5 cents per kilowatt-hour, which is ten times cheaper than the current minimum cost of thermal power generation.

However, the total investment of this solar cell group, which is closest to practical and large-scale in history, is also so large that a powerful country cannot afford it.

It's scary.

He stared at the numbers for a long time, and his brain hurt terribly.

What should I do now?

Back then, I tried my best to say good things and invite people from the United States.

The other party also came with sincerity, taking into account our national conditions, and spent eight years to make technical improvements, reducing the cost of modules again and again.

Now it has taken the initiative to reduce the construction cost of 800 million US dollars to 270 million US dollars, and it is estimated that all the water that can be squeezed has been squeezed dry.

If it goes any further, they have to wonder if the quality of this service can be guaranteed.

The principle that you get what you pay for is common all over the world.

But why is this number so huge?

Last year, the country's total fiscal revenue was only 6.2 trillion yuan.

In order to build a solar power station, the people of the whole country should not tighten their belts and invest one-third of their fiscal revenue in the construction of the power station.

Education, medical care, national defense construction, social security. Every year, the investment is indispensable.

Even if this number is less than half, he dares to grit his teeth and submit this contract to the financial department.

Now, he just doesn't even have the courage to report it.

There's nothing to talk about!

What should I do, say sorry to the other party, invite them to eat and drink, and then ask them to go back and study for a few more years to reduce the cost again?

Isn't that!

It is not a state-owned enterprise, but a purely commercial company!

He thought about it for a long time and understood one thing.

Those big conglomerates, who tried their best to bring down the Northern California company, did not immediately develop solar energy, but saw that the cost of this new solar cell was only less than one-tenth of that of other batteries.

It's just a matter of trying to get the technology.

It seems that although solar energy has unlimited prospects, if it wants to be truly popularized, this cost needs to be doubled!

It took a long time for negotiators from the Department of Energy to decide to escalate the situation.

No matter what, at least give the other party an explanation.

The above will definitely not agree to this construction plan, and in the end, this wicked person will probably have to be himself.

"1.8 billion square kilometers?" A relaxed voice came from the other end of the phone, "The cost is not low!" Is there any talk about this price? ”

The negotiator said with a wry smile: "The other party has already done its best!" ”

"Our experts have seen that if we really want to build a solar power plant, with our own technology, the price will increase at least tenfold!"

"So tall?" The other end of the phone was also taken aback, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "How much electricity can a solar power station in one square kilometer generate?" How many square kilometers will need to be built to meet the power needs of Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Donghai and other places? ”

The negotiator's mouth was bitter, and he silently calculated in his heart, and said uncertainly: "The preliminary calculation will not be less than 1,200 square kilometers, and the area must be set aside for personnel to enter and exit for maintenance, so the actual increase will be another 30 percent."

"Bang dang!"

He heard the sound of something falling to the ground and shattering on the other end of the phone, and then there was no sound for seven or eight minutes.

He was not surprised at all, he was in a daze just now, and when he came to his senses and looked at the time, half an hour had passed.

On the other end of the phone, even if he hung up the phone directly, he could understand.

Because, this is pure international joke!

"That. You ask the other party to walk around, see more, those places of interest and so on, invite them all to go around, delicious and delicious hospitality, and when it's over, you can explain it to them clearly. ”

"If you still want to stay here, it's business as usual, and if you want to leave, you'll politely send them away, understand?"

Just as he was starting to wander, his familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Got it! I'll arrange it. ”

Seconds before the phone was lowered, the negotiator heard a faint voice: "Play the piano!" Whoever invited them here in the first place couldn't find it by themselves, and this wasn't nonsense."

Negotiators at the Ministry of Energy took out their handkerchiefs and wiped the sweat from their foreheads, wondering how to make these foreigners "satisfied."

In the days that followed, the Negotiating Delegation of the Department of Energy never mentioned "solar power plants" again, but accompanied the board members of Northern California Solar Energy to tour the country.

In addition, they are also thinking about how to tell each other euphemistically that inviting them over back then was just a beautiful misunderstanding.

Everyone was nervous, wondering if the people from Northern California Solar would be annoyed and angry.

Even if the other party scolds, they will never return the word.

Who made them be fascinated by the new energy that can replace oil, and invited the other party over without first counting their wallets?

The board members of the Northern California Solar Energy Company approached them several times to discuss in detail, but they avoided them.

Everything was handed over to the Foreign Affairs Bureau, and they were responsible for taking care of it.

Finally, there was no way to avoid it, and the representative of the Ministry of Energy, who was in charge of the reception, said helplessly: "Mr. Thomas, let me tell you the truth, the cost of 1.78 billion yuan per square kilometer is indeed very cheap. ”

"However, even such a low cost is not something we can afford now."

"It's not just us, I think the United States is so rich, it's hard to afford such a high price, so we can only regret it."

"I've guessed it!"

Thomas, chairman of the board of directors, interrupted him and said hurriedly: "At this price, we all know very well, small-scale construction should be considered very cheap, but large-scale investment, no country, can afford it at one time." ”

The representative of the Ministry of Energy breathed a sigh of relief, and the worries that had been in place for some time had finally passed.

It would be best if the other party could understand this, and it would save him the trouble of trying to figure out how to explain it.

However, this matter is indeed what they did not be authentic, and it is not a way of hospitality to let the family go back without getting anything.

They are avoiding it these days, and they are also thinking of other solutions.

He held Thomas's hand tightly and said very movingly: "Thank you for understanding our difficulties, we are also trying to find a way out for your company these days." ”

"In the end, after we matched with the Ministry of Construction and contacted domestic real estate developers, many developers expressed great interest."

"Oh? You're talking about real estate? Mr. Thomas did not seem to be very eager, but replied only politely.

"Yes! In terms of real estate, there are many new communities that are very interested in this new energy source, and they hope to install solar power generation equipment in the community. ”

"The cost of solar energy is low, clean and environmentally friendly, and I believe many residents will support it."

The representative of the Ministry of Energy turned a blind eye to his coldness and said to himself.

No matter how unhappy the other party is, he can only do this.

And he is not wrong, there are indeed many real estate developers who are interested in solar power generation.

Solar power supply, enjoy ultra-low electricity bills, this is a good gimmick, although the scope of application is a little narrower, but the Northern California solar energy company can always rely on this, in China to gain a firm foothold, slowly open up the market.

Thomas forced a smile: "It seems that we are going around in circles and going back to our old ways." ”

"Back then, we relied on installing solar energy equipment in the community to eat, and now we have come to China and gone back to the old way."

"Hahahaha! The so-called impermanence of the world! The Negotiator from the Department of Energy laughed dryly and hurried to leave.

When he turned around, Thomas suddenly stopped him: "Mr. Wang! If our company plans to build a solar power station independently in Huaxia, can you make it convenient for us? ”

"Huh?"

The representative of the Ministry of Energy took a step forward and stopped.

He turned around slowly and said in surprise:

"Mr. Thomas, you say. Do you plan to build a solar power plant independently? ”
