Without hesitation, Scalia nodded directly:

"Fang, your proposal is really constructive, so that our government only needs to invest very little money to complete the country's electricity coverage, which is really great help for us in Brazil to fully enter the era of electrification.

So be it! You first organize the people of your Fangyuan Group to see where you are going to build power plants, and what power plants you are going to build, and then we will calculate the rest to see how many power plants our government needs to build to complete the coverage of power resources across the country.

By the way, what kind of power generation equipment is the power generation equipment produced by your power equipment manufacturing plant? ”

"At present, it is mainly large-scale thermal power generation equipment and hydroelectric power generation equipment, and the factory also has the manufacturing technology of internal combustion engine power generation equipment, which is now the most common in European and American countries.

Considering that we do not have abundant coal reserves in Brazil, although there should be enough power generation for us in the short term, in the long run, I would suggest that we should develop hydropower and wind power generation vigorously.

This will not only reduce our dependence on coal, a non-renewable resource, but will also be more environmentally friendly. ”

The concept of wind power has appeared in Europe as early as the end of the 19th century, but because there is no environmental protection concept in Europe at this time, and coal resources are very abundant, there is not much investment in this area.

The real development did not wait until the 70s, and the first country to use this power generation technology in large quantities was Denmark, but Fang Lang from later generations knew the benefits of this clean and renewable resource, and Brazil was very short of resources such as coal and oil at this stage.

As a result, his plans for power generation facilities in Brazil are mainly based on wind and hydropower. However, the power generation equipment manufactured by the factory must still be profitable first, and the mainstream power plants of this period were thermal power plants that used coal to generate electricity.

This forced him to give priority to the development of thermal power generation equipment.

Scalia obviously had never been exposed to wind power generation, so he looked at Fang Langdao with some confusion:

"Wind power?"

Seeing that Mr. President raised doubts, Fang Lang had to take the initiative to solve the doubts of the other party, and after popularizing the principle of wind power generation to him, he focused on the benefits of wind power generation.

"But didn't you just say that the power generation equipment you produce is mainly thermal power generation and hydropower generation equipment?

Since none of you have this kind of power generation equipment, how can we build this kind of power plant? ”

Hearing this, Fang Lang smiled slightly:

"Now we don't have this kind of equipment, we can study it!

It is precisely now that everyone does not have this kind of equipment, and we have the opportunity to get ahead in this field! Many countries in the world are coal-lean. When our technology matures, we can promote it to the outside world!

When the time comes, wind power will become our Brazil's business card.

In addition, the reason why I want to develop wind power is because we have abundant wind resources in Brazil, and there are huge wind energy resources in the northeast, southeast and south of the country. If we don't put it to good use, it's wasteful. ”

Scalia obviously has certain scruples about this brand-new equipment, in his mind, what has not been used in Europe and the United States yet, they Brazil will be the first to use it, and the risk is too great.

But this plan was proposed by Fang Lang, and he had to think about it seriously, and after thinking about it again, he slowly spoke:

"Fang, I really don't know much about this aspect, you think this will work, I will let the people from the Ministry of Energy seriously investigate your idea, if there is really a problem, then we will plan together."

Seeing Scalia's attitude, Fang Lang only smiled slightly, and didn't care, he only made suggestions for this kind of thing, and didn't intend to forcibly push it, after all, he didn't have the relevant technical reserves now.

But after his factory researches the relevant equipment, he will definitely exert the influence of the Fang family to promote the layout of the wind power industry in Brazil, and the capitalists want to sell products, and there are many methods, among which creating anxiety is one of the simplest and most effective methods.

"No problem, we're just starting to work on this, so we're not in a hurry to start it right away. When the technology matures, we'll add it up. ”

Hearing this, President Scalia breathed a sigh of relief, he also thought that Fang Lang wanted the Brazilian government to support them in developing and researching related equipment! He had just come to power, and he didn't want to do something so radical.

It's not good, after investing a lot of money, he will step down when the equipment is developed, and then he won't make a wedding dress for someone else?

When Fang Lang saw his appearance, he couldn't help but be a little funny, and after thinking about it, he spoke again:

"This report talks about the shortage of electricity resources in Brazil, but does not give a specific solution, has your government considered which power generation method to focus on promoting in Brazil?"

Scalia was obviously prepared for this, and he spoke to himself without even thinking about it:

"As you just said, our coal reserves in Brazil are not high, and the carbon content of the coal found now is also very low, and it is not high-quality coal at all, and it is very lacking for iron smelting, so of course, the use of hydropower is preferred."

Hearing this, Fang Lang nodded, to say that hydropower is indeed more advantageous, but the key is that the investment in hydroelectric power stations is not ordinarily large! If you rely on the Fang family's investment alone, it is a big burden.

He couldn't help but groan slightly:

"If our family fully invests in the development of power resources, what kind of support can the government give us?"

At first, Fang Lang had not discussed this issue with Scalia, and Scalia thought that Fang Lang did not need government support, but now when he heard him ask, he realized that this topic must be out of breath.

So, he touched his nose before saying:

"Fang, as you know, although we have developed very rapidly in Brazil in recent years, the investment in public construction is also very huge, especially in the field of transportation, so the funds are not abundant.

If you want to give you financial support, obviously it is unlikely, and the support that I can think of to give you is mainly in two aspects, on the one hand, the support of land resources, if you look at the right location of the power station.

If the land is state-owned, we will transfer it to you at the cheapest price.

If it is private land, we will also come forward to coordinate and take back the land and then transfer it to you for development.

Second, in terms of taxation, because electricity is a people's livelihood project, my idea now is to implement a tax exemption policy for your power station, of course, when the time comes, your electricity price cannot be set too outrageous. Do you think that's okay? ”

As soon as he heard this, Fang Lang's heart was overjoyed, good guy, this is a big problem, just the tax exemption can reduce the cost of the power plant. Of course, the other party also put forward a request to control the electricity price, which is really nothing to the other party, and it is a big deal to make a ladder electricity price when the time comes!

Fang Lang also began to think in his heart that it may not be enough to provide preferential treatment for land resources, because the land resources needed for the construction of hydropower stations are not only the land near the dam.

It is more about the huge amount of land needed for the water storage area, and in Fang Lang's impression, when the hydropower station was built in his hometown, a large number of immigrants were generated.

In addition, the impact of the construction of dams on the downstream ecological environment is also very huge. The impact of shipping should also be considered, and this kind of thing is too cumbersome to rely on a private company alone, so after thinking about it for a while, he still said:

"In addition to these two supports, I hope that the government can help deal with the migration caused by the construction of hydropower stations, and not because we respond to the country's call to invest in hydropower construction, and we also have to deal with various civil opposition."

Although what Fang Lang said was very vague, Scalia could still quickly understand what he meant, a large project like this, if there was no moth, it would be abnormal, Fang Lang raised this point, he had already been mentally prepared, so he said without hesitation:

"Fang, don't worry! I can assure you that the government will provide you with all-round guarantees for the construction of power plants, and that any force that hinders us in Brazil's transition to the electricity era is our enemy and we will deal with it seriously. ”

With this guarantee, Fang Lang was relieved, although even without the help of the government, he was sure to smoothly promote the construction of the power station, but considering the relationship with the indigenous people of Brazil, he did not want the Fangyuan Group to be at the forefront, and it was much more convenient for the Brazilian government to come forward at this time.

"Haha...... Good! With this assurance, Mr. President, we are confident that we will be able to complete the construction of the hydroelectric power station in the shortest possible time, and we believe that the shortage of electricity resources in Brazil will be solved soon. ”

Hearing this, President Scalia was naturally overjoyed, and today he was right to invite Fang Lang to come over and talk, not only did he fall on himself the favor of refusing to join the United Nations Army, but also persuaded the Fang family to invest in the construction of the Brazilian power station.

The other party helped him solve such a big problem, out of politeness, he still has to care about whether the Fang family has encountered any difficulties recently, since everyone is a cooperative relationship, of course they must be mutually beneficial!

"Haha...... Then I would like to thank Mr. Fang for his support to me! I don't know if the Fang family needs my help recently, if so, please don't be polite, just tell me. ”

Fang Lang knew that the president said this, more likely to be polite, but he didn't want to let go of such an opportunity, since the president mentioned the shortage of power resources, it means that the government is concerned about Brazil's energy problems.

And oil is also an important strategic energy source, so there is no reason for this kind of thing to be considered by their Fang family alone! In particular, the first step of the Fang family's plan was to start with Angola, a Portuguese colony, and once there was a conflict with the Portuguese government, the Brazilian government would naturally need to come forward to protect the interests of the Fang family.

Fang Lang, who understood this, said without hesitation:

"Since Mr. President mentioned that we have a shortage of electricity resources in Brazil, I have to remind you again that in addition to electricity resources, we are also very short of oil resources.

As the number of cars in Brazil has increased and the price of oil has risen again and again, American oil companies have begun to unite to harvest the wealth that Brazil has accumulated so hard to accumulate through oil.

If this continues, the development of our automobile industry in Brazil will be affected by the high price of oil, so I hope that the government will pay attention to this. ”

When President Scalia heard this, his brows furrowed.

"What, now that American oil companies have banded together and started to raise the price of our oil? Why haven't I seen the report? ”

Hearing this, Fang Lang was also stunned, this kind of thing has to be said, it is impossible for Scalia, as president, not to know, after all, this is related to a country's energy security.

But now that Scalia is obviously not a disguise, Fang Lang couldn't help frowning slightly, and he had already begun to guess maliciously in his heart whether there would be any hidden secrets in this.

The secret he wondered was whether these European and American oil companies would unite to make public relations with Brazilian government officials, so that they would turn a blind eye to this situation and not think that it was impossible. For the sake of profit, the capitalists will do everything they can.

"I don't know why you haven't received a report on this, but our family is already preparing to solve this problem, and now our initial idea is to set up a Brazilian petrochemical company to directly purchase crude oil from the world and refine it.

In terms of technology, we are already negotiating with the Ridgefield Oil Company of the United States, and I believe that a breakthrough will be made soon, but in terms of oil resources, we still have to purchase from European and American countries.

If they put obstacles in our way in the process, we could be very reactive, so I hope that the Brazilian government will support our actions in due course. ”

Fang Lang did not directly tell President Scalia that they were ready to start with Angola on the other side of the Atlantic, but said that he was worried that Europe and the United States would put obstacles in their way.

The reason why he said this was because he was afraid that the pro-Portuguese forces in the country would stand up and speak out against it. Although, now they are ready to buy crude oil from the Portuguese, how can he be relieved to let the Portuguese colonizer make such a large sum of money from it.

If possible, he certainly hopes to help the Angolan people to free themselves from the colonial rule, preferably by setting up a pro-Brazilian government, when the time comes, the price of crude oil will be much lower than it is now.

He also learned this from the Americans, why are so many countries in the world independent now, isn't it that the United States and Britain are competing for dominance in the world?

President Scalia heard that Fang Lang just asked their government to support them at the right time, of course he would not refuse this small request, I have to say that a company like Fangyuan Group really makes him very worry-free, many things, the government has not yet taken into account, and even before discovering it, the other party has already gone to the front.

This made him can't help but become more dependent on Fang Yuan Group, and this is exactly what Fang Lang wants to achieve.

"No problem, it is the responsibility of the Brazilian government to protect our businesses in Brazil, and it goes without saying that we have to be proactive.

What's more, now that the security of our oil resources in Brazil is at stake, our government is even more obliged.

You can rest assured, I will organize the energy department later and start an investigation into our oil security in Brazil, and when the time comes, a complete guarantee plan will be drawn up. ”
