Three days later, Wujiang Hydropower Group held a press conference and announced that it would invest heavily in the construction of Wudongde Power Station, Baihetan Power Station, Xiluodu Power Station and Xiangjiaba Power Station to form four cascade power stations in the lower reaches of the Jinsha River.

All the reporters present couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

If it is a small hydropower station, but the scale of these four hydropower stations is too large, in the country can be ranked in the top five, among them, Wudongde power station, Baihetan power station, Xiluodu power station can be ranked in the world's top ten hydropower stations, Xiangjiaba power station may be a little smaller, but it is enough to rank eleventh in the world.

"I'm convinced, Zhao Ye is too awesome, I call him the 'king of hydropower stations', it shouldn't be an exaggeration!"

"Haha, it deserves its name, including the Three Gorges Dam, Wujiang Hydropower Group alone has invested in five of the world's top ten hydropower stations, he is not the 'hydropower station king', who is still qualified for this title?!"

"Wujiang Hydropower Group has invested in the construction of so many hydropower stations that have been bombed at once, and the domestic electricity consumption will not be as tight as it is now, and the hydropower station can also play a role in flood control and discharge, navigation, water storage and irrigation, and environmental improvement! Once these hydropower stations are completed, the merit will be in the present and the benefits will be in the future!! One national journalist said excitedly, clapping excitedly.

Bang Bang Bang!

There was thunderous applause at the press conference, and all of them were shocked and admired by the generosity of Wujiang Hydropower Group, and foreign reporters were even a little envious and jealous.

There are no enterprises in their country that are so keen to invest in hydropower stations, probably because the income of hydropower stations is not a profiteering industry, and the return cycle is long.

Soon, the news that Wujiang Hydropower Group invested heavily in the construction of four world-class hydropower stations appeared on the hot search on the Internet.

Countless Chinese netizens were amazed and expressed their anticipation.

At the same time, there is a hint of pride.

Look, we're awesome in China! We're going to build so many world-class hydropower plants! This is the demeanor of a great power!

"Haha, it's boundless, it's amazing! If you receive the news abroad, I'm afraid you will be stunned! They don't even have a hydropower station that can rank among the top 10 in the world, and our country will have at least four in the future!! ”

"When I was a child, I always envied foreign countries that were more developed, with busy traffic and high-rise buildings, but now, the most awesome country is actually our own country! Not only do we now have the tallest skyscrapers in the world, but we also have a lot of world-class hydroelectric power plants! ”

At this time, many foreign netizens watched the news.

There are a lot of words in the comment area: "awesome", "unbelievable", "how is this possible", and "oh my God, this is crazy".

Foreign netizens are called envy, jealousy and hatred.

Their country has not even built a single large hydropower station for more than a decade or two.

At the press conference, Wujiang Hydropower Group also briefly introduced its self-developed large-scale hydro-generator with the world's advanced technology - [Shuilong Generator], thus breaking the technical blockade of China's large-scale hydro-generator from abroad.

The single power generation power of each [water dragon generator] is as high as 1 million kilowatts, which is currently the world's highest single power generation hydro generator, compared to the maximum power of the generator of the Three Gorges is only 700,000 kilowatts, this giant hydro generator only rotor weight reaches 3,000 tons, the total weight of the whole generator is up to tens of thousands of tons, the power generation capacity is terrifying, it can send out more than 170 degrees of electricity in a rotation, and the energy generated by 24 hours of operation is enough for 500,000 people to use for a whole year.

Of course, there is also a small [water hose generator], which can be applied according to the actual situation.

Other hydropower projects in China have already purchased this kind of [water dragon generator] from Wujiang Hydropower Group.

Wujiang Hydropower Group also wants to introduce the [Water Dragon Generator] to the outside world through the press conference and sell it to all over the world.

In addition to advanced technology, the biggest feature of [Water Hose Generator] is that it is of high quality and low price.

As we all know, made in China, the cost is low, so it has a strong price competitive advantage.

In fact, when the news of the [Water Dragon Generator] spread, it quickly attracted the attention of many countries.

Hydropower stations generally integrate power generation, flood control and other functions, and their role is much greater than that of thermal power stations, so as long as there are conditions, most countries are still more willing to build hydropower stations.

Southeast Asia, South America and other countries have hydropower resources, but they have neither the technology nor the money, so they rarely build hydropower stations.

However, when they saw that the Wujiang Group was so keen to invest in the construction of hydropower stations, they thought, why can't they invest in the development of their own country's hydropower stations with the Wujiang Group?

Wouldn't it be a win-win situation for Wujiang Group to contribute capital and technology?

Since mid-April, more and more countries have sent invitation letters to Wujiang Group for investment in hydropower projects.

At present, Wujiang Group is sending people to conduct inspections and market research, and if there are suitable projects, then you may as well participate in the investment.

……

In China, Wudongde Power Station, Baihetan Power Station, Xiluodu Power Station, and Xiangjiaba Power Station have begun to break ground at this time, and the project is in full swing.

Nearly 20,000 people participated in the construction of the Baihetan Power Station alone.

Not far from the construction site, many reporters, experts and professors looked at the hot construction site and were excited.

"The six cascade power stations of Wudongde, Baihetan, Xiluodu, Xiangjiaba, Three Gorges and Gezhouba constitute the world's largest clean energy corridor, which is enough to make our people proud!! An old professor said excitedly, his face full of anticipation.

"Haha, yes, if you want to talk about the development of clean energy, our country is still at the forefront of the world!" The companion echoed with a smile.

The reporters on the side frantically pressed the camera shutter and permanently recorded the lively scene at the construction site.

……

On April 22, the group stage of the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup was officially held, which attracted the attention of the whole country for a while.

However, this is probably the most glorious time for the national football team.

The opponent of the Chinese football team in the first game was the Maldives.

At this time, the tourism industry in the Maldives has not yet developed, and you can imagine how poor this island country is, and the football team of the Maldives is just a patchwork business team.

In my memory, China defeated the Maldives 10-1. It's just that the domestic media's evaluation of the game at that time was that the performance of the Chinese team was very disappointing, and the face of the amateur team Maldives also played back, the midfield cooperation was disorderly, mistakes were frequent, and the front waist was a weak link.

Zhao Ye didn't plan to watch the game, there was nothing to watch.

Just go and watch the last World Cup qualifier.

Zhao Ye didn't think about saving the football team, the water inside was too deep, and he didn't need to make trouble for himself.

That's a thankless effort.

It's better to think about how to develop a phenomenal soccer game.

……

Zhao Ye didn't pay attention to this night's game, it would be ridiculous if the national football team couldn't win against the Maldives.

In the evening, Zhao Ye wrote some business plans at home, clarifying the future development direction of the company.

3G, smart phones, mobile Internet, new energy vehicles, etc......

According to the current stage of their own enterprise mastery of the technology to develop a feasible plan.

The next morning, Zhao Ye came to the company, and many people in the company were excitedly discussing the match between the Chinese football team and the Maldives football team last night.

"Although the Chinese football team made many mistakes, it easily defeated the Maldives football team and achieved a score of 10 to 1, and the two sides have a huge disparity in strength!"

"I feel that the Maldives football team is so weak, that level is not as good as the level of the university football league!"

"The Maldives, a small country in the Indian Ocean, have never heard of it before, they are very poor, how can they have time to practice playing football! I guess maybe they don't even have a full-fledged football field! ”

"I'll go, then won't our Chinese team win?"

"I checked on the Internet, the Maldives is really poor, but the scenery of their country is quite good, but the infrastructure is too bad, otherwise, I would like to travel to the Maldives......"

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.

Zhao Ye's eyes suddenly lit up, and he muttered in his heart: "The Maldives is not famous now, and it is still a very poor country, but the tourism resources of the Maldives are really good, it is 'a necklace thrown by God on the earth', there are thousands of islands scattered on the sea, like inlaid pearls." I can now take the opportunity to buy some islands in the Maldives! ”

The more Zhao Ye thought about it, the more excited he became, in his previous life, he was too busy in China to have the opportunity to go to the Maldives for a vacation, but he also learned about those Internet celebrity islands in the Maldives from the Internet, such as Full Moon Island, Kani Island, Sun Island, Ayada Island, Central Grand Island, Villavaru Island, Paradise Island, Lily Island, and Ilu Island......

Now if you buy these islands, you can have many beautiful private islands, and after development, whether it is for your own vacation or open to the public, it is a very good choice.

……

The Maldives football team lost by 10 goals and the officials who led the team were depressed.

After a while, they were overjoyed by a sudden phone call.

"Hello, is this Mr. Mauruff? I am the secretary of Zhao Ye, the chairman of Wujiang Group. ”

Mauruff is a senior Maldivian official who is responsible for leading the Maldivian team to qualifying.

At this moment, when he heard the content of the phone, he couldn't help but be surprised, and quickly replied: "Yes, I'm Mauruff!" ”

"Hello, Mr. Mauruff, that's right, our Zhao Dong is more interested in the islands of the Maldives and plans to buy some private islands. In addition, we at Borderless Group are very interested in investing in airports, bridges, roads, hotels, residences, etc. in the Maldives......"

As soon as the words fell, Maurif felt stunned by surprise.

Little did he know that God would finally start to look after the Maldives!

He immediately replied: "No problem, the Maldives welcomes the investment of Wujiang Group, and we will definitely give the best conditions!" ”

If Borderless Group is willing to invest in the Maldives, it will definitely attract other investors to invest in the Maldives.

Liu Yinyin nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, Mr. Mauruff, our company will send personnel to the Maldives as soon as possible to investigate, hoping to get the cooperation of helping your country." ”

"No problem, I will contact China later, and they will send personnel to accompany the inspection personnel of Wujiang Group throughout the process!" Mauruff said.

When Liu Yinyin heard this, she thanked her, and then said goodbye to Mauruff and hung up the phone.

Mauruff immediately called the Maldives and told him about the situation, and the other end of the phone was immediately shocked and then ecstatic.

……

Three days later, Zhao Ye said to the person in charge of the delegation that was about to go to the Maldives: "I plan to buy more than a dozen private islands this time, and the name of the island I want to buy is on this piece of paper!" ”

"The tourism industry in the Maldives has great potential for development, so we should strive to plan ahead of time."

"Even if we don't invest, there will be others who will."

"The purpose of your trip is not only to buy private islands, but also to acquire the right to invest in the Maldives' airports, electricity, communications, roads, and even banks!"

"We are Borderless Group and I am sure the Maldives side will be clear about what it means if we invest in the Maldives! So, you can talk boldly and strive to complete all the goals and tasks! ”

The person in charge of the delegation nodded and responded: "Okay, Zhao Dong, I understand what you mean, don't worry, we will definitely complete the task!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Ye bowed slightly, smiled and patted the other party's shoulder.

There are more than 1 million tourists in the Maldives every year, one-third of whom are Chinese, and since 2012, China is the largest source of tourists in the Maldives, with 340,000 Chinese tourists visiting the Maldives every year. However, in the following years, there were fewer Chinese tourists to the Maldives, and India became the main source of Maldivian tourists.

Every tourist season in China, many scenic spots are indeed crowded, and many people choose to travel abroad.

If you have to travel abroad, Zhao Ye thinks that you can go to countries that are friendly to Chinese tourists.

If people look down on you, and you still go to their country to travel and spend, it is a hot face and a cold ass, why bother.

Zhao Ye considered that there are indeed many people who still travel abroad, so Wujiang Group can buy some private islands abroad and then develop them to solve the tourism needs of a person.

……

At noon, when having lunch in the company's canteen, Zhan Jiancheng, CEO of Wujiang Hydropower Group, sat opposite Zhao Ye with a plate.

The two chatted while eating.

"Zhao Dong, Southeast Asian countries are rich in hydropower resources, which is suitable for us to invest."

"For example, Cambodia's Mekong River basin can build a number of hydropower stations, Laos is known as the 'battery of Southeast Asia', there are more than 20 rivers of more than 200 kilometers in the country, and there are four major rivers and many tributaries in Myanmar, including the Irrawaddy River, Salween River, Chindun River and Sitaang River, and the hydropower potential is huge. Vietnam has more than 3,450 river systems and dense river systems, and hydropower resources are mainly concentrated in the Red River Basin and Mekong River Basin, with an average annual rainfall of about 1,800 to 2,000 mm......"

"We have considered the investment invitation letters sent to us by various countries and think that we can take the lead in investing in the largest hydropower station in Vietnam, the Son Lo Hydropower Station in Vietnam, and the largest hydropower station in Southeast Asia, the Bakun Hydropower Station in Malaysia......"

"On the African side, our researchers feel they can invest in the Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, which, if completed, will be the largest hydroelectric power plant in Africa and the seventh largest in the world, with a total investment of about US$4.8 billion. The Ethiopian side is also very willing to cooperate, and they are very eager to promote this cooperation. Oh yes......"

Zhan Jiancheng seemed to think of something, paused, and said with a smile: "The government of the African Congo proposed the 'Great Britain Dam Project', and our engineers couldn't help but be stunned after inspecting this project. ”

"What's wrong with this project?" Zhao Ye took a sip of food and asked curiously.

Zhan Jiancheng smiled: "This proposed hydropower dam falls on the Congo River, the dam is designed to output an average of 39,000 megawatts of electricity per year, almost twice the size of China's Three Gorges Dam, making it the world's largest hydropower program, the power generated by the dam is estimated to be enough to power nearly half of the African continent, and the Great Yingjia Dam is expected to cost $100 billion, far more than the Three Gorges Dam, including the cost of transmission lines needed to transmit its electricity to the entire continent......"

When Zhao Ye heard this, he couldn't help but smack his tongue.

Zhan Jiancheng continued: "In the main stream of the Congo River, the deepest depth is 150m, the water level difference is about 280m, and the water flow is turbulent, which provides a steady stream of power for power generation. At the mouth of the Congo River, the average annual flow is more than 40,000 m/s, and the largest flow in history is as high as 80,000 m/s, easily crushing the Nile River, ranking first on the entire African continent. As far as the conditions of the Congo River are concerned, the power generation advantage is more obvious than that of the Yangtze River, and it is indeed fully qualified to build a larger-scale super hydropower station! ”

Zhao Ye nodded and asked, "Mr. Zhan, do you think we want to invest in this project?" ”

Zhan Jiancheng thought about it for half a minute and replied: "I think that we can invest, and this is an opportunity for our Wujiang Hydropower Group. The Dayinga hydropower plant will certainly produce attractive power generation benefits, but UHV AC and DC transmission technology can be a major obstacle to hydropower transmission over long distances. At present, our engineers are working on UHVDC transmission technology, and if we can make a breakthrough, then we will have the opportunity to provide new opportunities for long-distance transmission in Africa! At that time, water and electricity delivery solutions across the African continent will not be a problem! ”

Zhao Ye thought silently, not to mention whether the project would go smoothly, even if the Dayinga Hydropower Station was completed, but there were too many poor countries in Africa, what if they couldn't afford electricity.

But if Africa has electricity, they should soon be able to develop into a huge market...... This is more beneficial to the Borderless Group.

Zhao Ye was a little hesitant, after all, the investment was too big.

"Dong Zhao, we are not the only companies interested in this project, and we can develop it together with other companies when the time comes." Zhan Jiancheng said.

"In that case, we can participate in investment and construction, but we don't have to take the lion's share." In the end, Zhao Ye decided to invest in the largest hydropower project in Africa, not to mention the economic benefits, but also to increase the influence of Wujiang Group in Africa.

If it is just an investment by Wujiang, then the investment is too big, in case of an accident and heavy losses, Zhao Ye does not dare to bet.

Wujiang Hydropower Group focuses on participation, earning some engineering costs and selling generator equipment, and can also provide UHVDC transmission technology in the future, making a lot of money again.

Lunch lasted an hour before it ended.

However, several large-scale projects were negotiated in the canteen, with a total investment of tens of billions of dollars, which would certainly cause extreme surprise among the media and netizens.

……

"In terms of energy, Wujiang Group can not only have hydropower, thermal power, solar energy and nuclear energy should also be the direction that Wujiang Group needs to actively deploy!"

Zhao Ye returned to his office and muttered to himself.

These projects burn money fiercely, and even Wujiang Group will be a little unbearable.

In the afternoon, Zhao Ye thought about it again and again, but decided to make a trade-off.

Abandon thermal power and choose to develop solar and nuclear energy.

The main materials of photovoltaic panels are crystalline silicon, silica gel, tempered glass and so on.

Therefore, when Wujiang Group wants to enter the photovoltaic industry, it will soon become a giant in the industry.

As for nuclear energy, it goes without saying that the most ideal energy source for mankind in the future is also the ultimate solution to energy needs.

Many large companies are betting on nuclear energy, and the pace of Wujiang Group is already slow.

If you want not to be defeated by competitors in the future, you should lay out early from now on and invest heavily in research and development.

Zhao Ye's attitude was very resolute and decisive, and before he got off work that day, he announced to the group that he would enter the photovoltaic and nuclear energy industries.

The initial investment budget for these two projects is not less than 10 billion US dollars.
