I haven't been a boss for many years

Chapter 405 Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant
China Power stopped negotiating with the Guangdong Nuclear Power Investment Company about the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant.

This may be related to the recent political situation.

Liu Wenyan was surprised: "Why would Mr. Zhang consider the nuclear power plant project?"

The Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant is a direct dialogue between CLP Power and Guangdong Province. The Liu Office received some rumors, but did not participate in the project team.

He was very curious about Zhang Guobin's thoughts.

Zhang Guobin said bluntly: "At the beginning of the year, China Power Group sent people to Guangdong Province, hoping to cooperate with Guangdong Nuclear Power Investment Company to develop a nuclear power plant."

"HK Electric is very nervous to receive the news. As a controlling shareholder of HK Electric, I also worry day and night, why CLP Power can build a nuclear power plant."

"How about Hong Kong Electric Group?"

CLP Power itself is responsible for the power supply in Kowloon, the New Territories, and the outlying islands. The outlying islands are an area with poor electricity consumption, but Kowloon and the New Territories are all industrial areas.

As a result, CLP Power's revenue has always surpassed HK Electric's. Among the two major power supply groups, "CLP Power" ranks first and HK Electric ranks second.

If CLP Power talks about the Daya Bay nuclear power plant project, how will HK Electric compete with CLP Power in the future?

In the previous life, CEC and Hongkong Electric were all with British capital background, and the cake had long been divided according to the area of ​​responsibility. Now that Hongkong Electric has changed to a Chinese capital background, it will be necessary to break free market and healthy competition.

Liu Wenyan suddenly realized, and nodded frequently: "Since Mr. Zhang intends to invest in the Daya Bay nuclear power plant, I can serve as a bridge for Mr. Zhang."

"Thank you, Mr. Liu." Zhang Guobin took a cup of tea with both hands, and drank it with a smile on his face. The meaning of Liu Wenyan in Xiangjiang is the meaning of Xiangjiang to the mainland.

The world needs windows for dialogue.

Liu Wenyan picked up the teacup with both hands, shook his head and blew the tea soup, and said with a smile, "You're welcome, Mr. Zhang."

three days later.

Zhang Guobin led Daquan Biao, Wu Zhaonan, and Ma Shiming to investigate in Guangdong Province. Dongguan Miao, Chaozhou Zou, and Xianshidong accompanied their bodyguards to form the "Three Great Gangs" investigation group, with a total of [-] people. Passed Man Kam To in a limousine and arrived in Futian District, Shencheng.

Established in 1983, Guangdong Nuclear Power Investment Corporation specializes in the import and export of nuclear power technology, nuclear power plant operation and construction, and is under the jurisdiction of the state-owned China General Nuclear Power Group.

The most famous construction project is the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant, which started construction in 1987. After completion, it will be the first large-scale commercial nuclear power plant in the mainland. 80% of the electricity will be supplied to Hong Kong, and 20% will be supplied to Guangdong Province.

This nuclear power plant project is extremely famous. The technical units are all imported from France, and the quality inspection is provided by the United States to ensure that the earliest unit No. 1 was established and has been in operation for 17 years without any problems.

Wu Zhaonan, smoking a cigar, walked in the project display area in Futian District, triumphantly saying, "My old Wu has also developed nuclear weapons."

Da Quanbiao, wearing a suit, smiled and said, "Nuclear power plants are for generating electricity, and nuclear weapons are for surgical operations. The two things are different."

"What's the difference?" Wu Zhaonan snorted twice, and said in disbelief, "With the nuclear power plant in our hands, who dares to touch us by the Xiangjiang River? Let's cut off the power to him!"

"The effect is the same."

Mr. "Yang Yu", chairman of China General Nuclear Power Group, said with a wry smile: "Mr. Wu, Mr. Dong, nuclear power plants are very dangerous projects, and safety comes first."

Zhang Guobin held the end of the cigar in his hand, shook the smoke, turned his head and said, "Mr. Yang, don't care about the two big guys. The Daya Bay nuclear power plant project is all run by the Chinese side."

"You just treat them as the winners."

Yang Yu smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang was joking."

But Wu Zhaonan bit his cigar, waved his hand and said boldly: "How about being a grandson?"

"This Kaizi is happy to do it, happy to do it!"

Zhang Guobin smiled at Yang Yu: "Director Yang, Kaizi is hooked."

"Should we talk about the price?"

Yang Yu looked very happy, raised his hand and said: "Please Zhang Sheng, Wu Sheng, and Dong Sheng move to the meeting room."

A group of people walked towards the meeting room.

conference room.

Yang Yu was sitting on the right hand side, leading several senior executives of the General Nuclear Power Group, sitting on a chair, with a document under his hand, looking down at the document and saying: "Mr. Zhang, please allow me to inspect you on behalf of the General Nuclear Power Group. A warm welcome to the group.”

"According to the red-headed documents, the establishment of a nuclear power plant for commercial use is actually a well-established direction. The country has been preparing to build the first nuclear power plant since 1978. Shencheng is used as an experimental field for reformation. The first nuclear power plant is also determined to be located in Shencheng. Xiangjiang has been using it since 80. Electricity is tight, and the old-fashioned hydropower and coal power are not enough to supply the development of Xiangjiang.”

Electricity has a very special feature in that it is not easy to store. The electricity produced needs to be led away by wires. It is impossible for power plants to have batteries to store electricity.

If a power plant supplies power to an area, how large a battery must it use to store the electricity of a city?

Therefore, there should be no excess power production capacity. In the event of emergencies and high-speed development periods, power shortages are likely to occur.

For example, in 2021, the national electricity shortage, large and small factories, and office buildings adopt a power limit policy, and the price of the media will skyrocket. Is it because the country cannot produce electricity?
No, electricity cannot be stored.

Xiangjiang needs economic development, but also needs to protect fishery and ecology. Since the 80s, the banner of environmental protection has been vigorously promoted, and the development of power plants has been greatly restricted.

A joint power plant with the mainland has become a mutually beneficial choice. The mainland has more accurately selected business opportunities and purchased two units early to prepare for the start of construction. Unfortunately, several negotiations have been suspended due to political influence.

"Building a nuclear power plant in Daya Bay to supply power to Xiangjiang is a good thing. It can solve the power shortage in Xiangjiang, stabilize electricity prices, support development, protect the environment of Xiangjiang from being affected, and return investment in the mainland and Xiangjiang."

"Factories are built in the Mainland, consumption in Hong Kong."

Yang Yu sighed: "However, the preparations for the nuclear power plant project started a few years ago, but the negotiations between China and the UK stalled in the first two years. At the beginning of the year, CLP just came to talk again. I don't know why the political situation has become tense recently. The impact had to suspend the advancement of nuclear power projects."

"Hey, business belongs to business, politics belongs to politics, how can foreign free economies fail to figure it out?" Yang Yu picked up the white porcelain cup, lifted the lid, and there were still a few pieces of tea leaves floating on the water.

Zhang Guobin knows very well that in terms of free economy, Shencheng is now much more free than Xiangjiang.

"However, after several rounds of promotion, the Hong Kong government also issued regulations. First, the nuclear power plant must be invested and jointly operated by a power company registered in Xiangjiang before it can transmit electricity into Xiangjiang. war."

"Only by satisfying these two points can the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant project send electricity into the port," Yang Yu said.

Wu Zhaonan turned his head to look at Zhang Guobin, slapped the table, and shouted, "Isn't this what Mr. Zhang is talking about!"

The terms tailor-made for CLP Power Group are almost exactly the same as those for Hong Kong Electric Group.

The only two power groups in Xiangjiang all meet the investment requirements of the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant. After all, the free market must not be played too straightforwardly, and CLP Power never expected to be cut off.

They were the first to contact the mainland for a few years. At that time, Hongkong Electric was still a British-backed company and would not participate in the competition at all.

It is even more unexpected that Zhang Guobin has ambitions and strength to intervene in nuclear power projects.

Zhang Guobin took a sip of tea, put the lid on, and said calmly: "The HK Electric Group meets the investment requirements."

"Yes!"

Yang Yu said with a lot of emotion: "It's really unexpected that after talking with the British for several years, we still have to sit down and talk with the British."

"To be honest, those two nuclear power units are almost graying out in the warehouse, and it hurts every day they are stored."

"That's all the foreign exchange earned by comrades tightening their belts and sneaking into factories to sell their blood and sweat. How can it be so ruined."

Zhang Guobin smiled and said, "I understand Mr. Yang's feelings very well."

"If Mr. Zhang hadn't brought someone to talk, we might have been slaughtered by the British." Yang Yu inevitably crossed the line when it came to rising.

Liu Wenyan put his fist to his mouth and coughed twice.

Yang Yu came back to his senses and said with a smile: "The day Mr. Zhang said that he would come to Shencheng for inspection, I reported to the superior department. As long as Mr. Zhang can fulfill the terms offered by CLP Group, Hong Kong Electric Group will become Daya Bay. A new investor in nuclear power plants."

Ma Shiming took a document, opened it and read it for a while, bowed his head and whispered to Zhang Guobin, and Zhang Guobin finished exchanging ideas with Wu Zhaonan and Da Quanbiao.

Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station Unit 18 invested 3 billion Hong Kong dollars, the first phase investment was [-] million Hong Kong dollars, each of the three major associations contributed [-] million, and all additional investments in the later period, He Yihai contributed [-]%, and Number Gang and Daquan Gang each contributed [-]%.

Hong Kong Electric Group holds 35% of the shares of the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant, the number gang and the big circle gang each get 35% of the [-]% equity, and Yihai exclusively gets [-]% of the dividend.

The mainland holds a 65% stake in the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant, but the electricity produced must first be supplied to Hongkong Electric Group, and the rest of the electricity will be supplied to the mainland.

Wu Zhaonan nodded.

Da Quanbiao frowned and said a few words, Zhang Guobin only replied in a low voice, and Da Quanbiao swallowed his saliva to express his agreement.

This business cannot be done without Yihai!
Zhang Guobin turned his head with a smile, supported the long table with both hands and stood up, bent over and handed out his palm, dressed in a suit and said with a smile: "Director Yang, happy cooperation."

Yang Yu immediately stood up and clenched his hands tightly, and said excitedly: "Mr. Zhang, thank you!"

"Thank you!"

Zhang Guobin raised his other hand, clasped both hands together, and said excitedly: "This business negotiation is happy and smooth, exceeding my expectations. On behalf of HK Electric Group, I salute you!"

Wu Zhaonan, Da Quanbiao, and Ma Shi also stood up and shook hands with the senior management of the General Nuclear Power Group. The meeting room was filled with applause. Yang Yu took a deep breath and sighed: "Negotiation with outsiders is called cooperation with people among us."

Zhang Guobin withdrew his hand and smiled: "Tonight, I want to have two more drinks with Chairman Yang."

Yang Yu immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, I was born as a secretary, so I can drink quite well."

I thought it would be very difficult for Hong Kong Electric to grab the nuclear power project in the Greater Bay Area from CLP. Unexpectedly, CLP Group voluntarily gave up the negotiation at a critical moment.

Weird, really weird.
