Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 60 BOT Mode
Isn't the power system monopolized by the state?How can private individuals build power stations?This is actually a misunderstanding. The state monopolizes the power grid, and the transmission and sales links are owned by the state. The production link, that is, power stations, can really adopt all other models.

You can refer to two cases. Li Hejun, the founder of Hanergy Group, was able to become the richest man in the mainland in 2014 and 2015, relying on the Jin'anqiao Hydropower Station he built in the Jinsha River Basin.

Jin'anqiao Hydropower Station has a total cost of 260 billion yuan and a total installed capacity of 300 million kilowatts. This power station is by far the largest privately owned hydropower station in the world. Its installed capacity is 10% larger than that of Gezhouba Hydropower Station in China, and it is larger than the Hoover Dam in the United States, which symbolized the strength of the United States back then. 30% larger.

After completion, the sale of electricity alone can bring tens of millions of cash income every day, with an annual profit of 35 billion.

There is also Weiqiao Entrepreneurship Group, the largest private enterprise in Shandong, which is also the largest aluminum power company in the world. With its 646 million tons of compliant electrolytic aluminum production capacity, it is known as the world's aluminum king.

As we all know, the aluminum industry is a high-power-consuming industry. In order to solve the problem of electricity consumption, Weiqiao Group simply built its own power plant.

And when the price of Bitcoin skyrocketed in later generations, many bosses went to the southwest region to rent small hydropower stations for mining, and many of these small hydropower stations were privately owned.

Li Lei's words startled Xing Shuwang. I thought you wanted me to give orders to the power supply bureau, but I didn't expect you to plan to build your own power station. "Isn't this a bit difficult?"

"The "Report on Actively Developing Chinese-style Rural Electrification Pilot Counties for Small Hydropower Construction" submitted by the Government Administration Council last year mentioned that while the country is setting up large and medium-sized electric power construction, it should be promoted by local governments and the masses in places with better water resources Focus on self-reliance and actively develop small hydropower construction!"

Li Lei began to repeat the relevant policies, "The Government Administration Council emphasized that the development of small hydropower must adhere to the three principles of self-construction, self-management, and self-use. Among them, self-construction refers to the funds needed for the construction of small hydropower in rural areas, which mainly rely on local governments, communes and teams. Farmers raise funds and invest in labor services to solve the problem.”

"I'm also a farmer. Is it completely in line with the policy for me to find a way to raise money to build a hydropower station?" Li Lei spread his hands.

Self-management and self-use are even simpler. It is probably that whoever builds manages and who uses electricity should not sell electricity to the State Grid for profit. This is very detrimental to other investors, but Li Lei does not care, because he built The purpose of the power plant is to supply electricity to the factory.

"You are a farmer, your household registration has been moved to the city long ago, and you are now a person who eats commercial food!" Xing Shuwang stretched out his finger and pointed at him.

Although Li Lei no longer works in the public sector, he was not fired, but stayed on without pay, and still belongs to the urban household registration.

"It's easy to handle. I'll just transfer my household registration back to the village!" People in the village are now trying to find ways to transfer their household registration to the city, but Li Lei did the opposite.

"Don't talk nonsense, it is easy to move the household registration back to the village, but it is difficult to move out!" Xing Shuwang thought he was angry.

"Let's continue talking about the power station. I have also read this report. It is true that farmers can raise funds and self-raise funds to build small hydropower, but if you pay alone, it doesn't seem to be considered fundraising?" Xing Shuwang was a little at a loss. There is no precedent for this kind of thing in the whole country, right?
"It's easy to raise funds. I'll ask my dad, my uncle, and my brother to pay for the head office, right?" At worst, I'll lend them the money for raising funds.

"Do you know how much it costs to build a small hydropower station?" Xing Shuwang laughed angrily, "The tens of thousands of dollars you earned from running a farm is far behind!"

"I don't have enough money, but I can raise money!" It's definitely not enough to rely on the farm's money, but I still have gains in the futures market. Counting the gains from frying soybeans in Chicago, the United States, Li Lei's grain and oil futures The income has exceeded [-] million, which is more than enough to build a small hydropower station.

The Sichuan Liangtan Hydropower Station, which started construction the year before last, has a total capacity of 7000 kilowatts and a total project investment of 1487 million yuan. The hydropower station that Li Lei wants to build is not so large, and the investment must be even smaller.

"Can we really raise money?" Xing Shuwang recalled a little bit, "There is indeed a place in Liushu Township that is suitable for building a hydropower station. Several million, this is not a small sum!"

It's no wonder that in the future, he can go up to the Government Administration Council and go down to small towns, and he is familiar with the relevant documents and data. As long as this kind of talent has the right opportunity, he will definitely be able to succeed, Li Lei secretly praised him.

"Several million is a big amount to me, but it is nothing to some people. When I was in the special zone, I went to Xiangjiang with Mr. Xie from Zhengda Kangdi Company and met some investment institutions in Xiangjiang. , I chatted with them about the hydropower station by chance, and they were very interested!"

"They said that they can adopt the BOT model, that is, build-operate-transfer. They first pay for the construction of hydropower stations, and then sell the electricity to me for profit after completion. After a few years, they recover the cost and earn enough profits. Hand over the hydropower station."

"This means that we have used electricity in advance, and we no longer have to worry about the impact of power shortages on business expansion. They have also made money, and the people in Heyang County have also benefited. The county has set up a model for small hydropower construction. It is equal to four wins!"

Needless to say, this investment institution must be Li Lei's vest, and it will be handed over to him in the future, and will not fall into the hands of others. As for why the vest should be worn, I can only say that I understand everything.

It makes sense that the BOT model will become popular in the fields of transportation, electricity and other infrastructure construction in the future. The most lacking thing in China right now is funds. Xing Shuwang was immediately interested in using external funds to build his own infrastructure. He quickly asked said, "Are there any similar cases?"

"Hehe Industrial Company in Xiangjiang is now cooperating with the GD provincial government to invest in the construction of the Shajiao B power plant project in the special zone, and this is the model it is adopting!"

The Shajiao B Power Plant Project is also China's first BOT infrastructure project, setting a precedent for the reform. Since then, BOT projects have sprung up across the country like mushrooms after rain.

Xing Shuwang also wants to make progress, and he will be in charge of the rural hydropower in Heyang County. If this project can be completed, and if we strive for it, it may become a pilot county of the Government Affairs Council. So why worry about the future?It's just that this is the first time he's heard of this model, and he's a little uncertain for a while.

"Leader, if you are interested, I can ask Xiangjiang's investment company to send you an invitation letter. Please go to the special zone to have a look and learn about the situation of the Xiashajiao B power plant, and make a decision when you come back!" Li Lei felt that Xing Shuwang was a little tempted , quickly added a fire.
