The Paper Group also plans to invest in the construction of two new automobile factories, one is located in Zhengzhou, Henan Province. This automobile factory is mainly for the development and production of electric engineering vehicles.

Another automobile factory is in Chaoshi City, Lingnan Province. This factory produces passenger cars and is equivalent to a branch factory of the Shanmei Haicheng factory.

The Zhengzhou factory is to expand new business, while the Chaoshi factory is to increase the production of passenger cars.

The supply of various models of electric vehicles of Surging Power is in short supply, especially the low-end model of Surging Elegance. The factory has not yet delivered orders, and the order is as high as more than 7.

There are also a lot of pre-orders for other models. Even the surging Lotus electric bus model has nearly 1000 undelivered orders.

As the blueprint for the elimination of fuel vehicles is getting faster and faster, various car companies are now entering the electric vehicle industry one after another.

Of course, it is not too easy to enter the electric vehicle industry now.

First of all, the electric vehicle industry association is a checkpoint. Non-members of the association cannot get discounted batteries and motors. Recently, carbon fiber composite bodies, automotive chips, and automotive control systems have been added.

If you are not a member of the association, the price of these spare parts may be 30-40% higher. As the core technology of an electric vehicle, your battery and motor are 30-40% higher than others, so what a fart.

Coupled with the patent sharing among members of the association, it is really difficult for non-members of the association to survive in Dongtang.

Even Tesla is feeling the pressure.

In addition, joint ventures are not eligible to join the electric vehicle industry association.

Therefore, although many car companies are required to hold new energy vehicle production licenses, there are not many car companies that have membership in the association, such as Pengpai Power, BYD, Geely, Changan, JAC, Lifan, King Long, and BAIC New Energy. .

Therefore, the membership of the Electric Vehicle Industry Association is jokingly called another birth certificate by many people.

Don't think that everything will be fine after joining the association. After joining the association, every car produced in the future must pass the audit of the industry association, which is generally called an internal audit.

If the internal audit fails, then your car does not need to go to the Ministry of Industry for approval. Even if the Ministry of Industry approves the listing, the association will not recognize it.

If car companies are forced to go public, the consequence is expulsion of membership, and expulsion of membership is obviously not something these car companies can afford.

Therefore, thanks to the self-discipline of the industry association, the quality of electric vehicles produced by members of the association is getting better and better.

After all, if the association produces inferior products and is found out, the consequences will be very serious, ranging from fines and raising the price of parts and components, to being expelled from the company.

Therefore, the Electric Vehicle Industry Association is called by many people the private version of the Ministry of Industry. If it does not pass the audit of these two brothers, it will be difficult to move forward in the Dongtang electric vehicle industry.

……

At the same time, Dongyin Water Service Company, following the opening of Qinhuangdao City Branch Line and Huludao City Branch Line, opened Chaoyang City Branch Line in Liaodong Province, Tangshan City Branch Line in Hebei Province, Chengde City Branch Line in Hebei Province, and Chifeng City Branch Line in Mongolian District in September.

Next is the Beiping Branch Line, Jin City Branch Line, and Hunshandake Sandy Branch Line.

There is also a Horqin sandy branch line.

Now the Hunshandake Sandy Land is near Sangendalai, and it has been occupied by rows of huge glass greenhouses.

As high as 2000 million mu of greenhouses, 85% of the construction has been completed.

In addition, the water pipeline is about to be connected. In order to speed up the construction, the engineering team has adopted segmental construction. The water pipeline in Hunshandake Sandy Land and the water pipeline in Chifeng City are now more than 20 kilometers away.

Wind power generators have sprung up one after another, and graphene solar films have recently been promoted.

The graphene solar film, combined with the roof of the glass greenhouse, makes the greenhouse self-sufficient in electricity.

Ordinary silicon wafer solar panels can generate about 1 kilowatt-hour of electricity a day, while graphene solar films can generate about 4 kilowatt-hours of electricity a day.

Graphene solar film not only generates electricity during the day, but also generates electricity on cloudy days or at night, and the efficiency is about 10% of that when there is sunlight.

If graphene solar films are installed on the roofs of 2000 million acres of greenhouses, 19 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity can be generated a year.

This power generation is almost three times the domestic annual power generation, which shows how great the potential of solar power generation is.

However, considering that the current demand is not so much, the laying area of ​​graphene solar film is currently only planned to be about 10 mu, and the annual power generation is expected to be 950 billion kWh.

As for whether the laying of graphene solar film will affect the lighting of the greenhouse, you can rest assured, because the graphene solar film is almost transparent, with a light transmittance of 90%, and will not affect indoor lighting.

The cost of graphene solar film, plus the sharing of research and development costs, is about 50 yuan per square meter, and the ex-factory price is 200 yuan per square meter.

Fengdu Group only owns 30% of the property rights of the Hunshandake greenhouse area, and the remaining 70% is owned by COFCO.

Even if it is 200 Chinese yuan per square meter, the representative of COFCO Group agreed to lay it.

Of course, the total investment is quite high, including other supporting facilities and the like, a total of about 300 billion Chinese yuan.

However, this investment can be paid back in one year. After all, 950 billion kWh, according to the current electricity price, is equivalent to more than 600 billion Chinese yuan.

Domestic investors' interest in wind power and photovoltaics has increased significantly in the past two years, especially with more and more storage power stations, wind power and photovoltaics, which were previously considered waste power, are now very easy to connect to the grid.

Of course, wind power is the mainstream. After all, the service life of silicon wafer photovoltaics is a problem.

However, with the graphene solar power generation film, many domestic investors are already ready to move.

As for foreign investors, it's not that they don't want to buy wind power stations or solar power generation films.

But power storage batteries and solar power generation films are export-restricted products, and those who want to buy them must go through approval, otherwise they will go back and forth.

However, the Hans family has purchased a lot of wind turbines, mainly because their family has a special power storage technology, that is, the hollow concrete ball energy storage technology.

The working principle of hollow concrete sphere energy storage technology is simple: create a huge hollow concrete sphere and then sink it in the deep ocean, the center of which is almost a vacuum.

When an electric current is needed, water at high pressure flows deep into the sea into the sphere, where it drives a turbine so that electricity can be generated.

If there is a surplus of electricity, the turbine can be used as a pump to pump the water out of the ball again.

When storing energy, the current drives the turbine to pump water from the seabed to the land, the electrical energy is converted into potential energy, and the ball becomes a vacuum; when the current is needed, the process is reversed.

One of the problems in the project was an engineering one: How thick must the walls of a concrete sphere be to resist the high pressure?The experts of the Hans family calculated that it was three meters.

In other words, this technology is actually a variant technology of energy storage reservoirs. The technology is not difficult, and the only problems are engineering and money.

In fact, if there is no high-energy storage battery, this technology is quite in line with my rabbit's style. It can not only store energy, but also drive the demand for reinforced concrete.

But now it’s just the other way around. Hans’ family, who is playing technology, is playing with hollow concrete balls for energy storage, and my rabbit, who is playing infrastructure, is working on storage batteries.

It's really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.
