Chapter 644 Make a move
"Thermal power?" Mr. Wardrick on the other end of the phone was a little surprised, "I don't know that you are still interested in a business like public facilities construction. Where do you want to build it?"

Mr. Wardrick's consortium operates a lot of projects. This kind of middle-generation consortium has a different operating structure from the first-generation federal consortium.

Like the consortium behind Mr. Patu, they have a tight grasp on real estate, mineral resources, metallurgy, and transportation. They have more advantages in these fields. After all, these things were very worthless at their time.

Just a little money can buy a large tract of mountain forest land, and who knows how many mineral deposits there are underground.

By the middle ages, that is, when people like Mr. Wardrick started their business, the development of society and technology had crossed a level, and various new things began to enter the market.

Some new things have become the key for them to grasp the key to wealth, such as industry, chemical industry, etc., including new energy.

These things have not been completely monopolized by the first-generation consortium, and can also be seen as the road to the rise of the middle-generation consortium.

As for the current new generation consortia, they mainly rely on real estate and manufacturing to start, and they continue to challenge the early and middle generation consortiums in an attempt to gain more voice.

Mr. Wardrick is involved in energy projects. This kind of project is not so easy to do. Even if some people have money and strength, they cannot do it in the Federation because of the power grid.

The federal power grid is all private, and the power plants are also private. After the initial savage growth and crazy annexation, the circuit network has basically been completely integrated, and the industry has stabilized.

Those who want to join this industry must first face the construction of the power grid. This is not a problem that can be solved with 500 million yuan. With this amount of money, even a small city's power grid may not be able to be built, let alone a nationwide network. National Grid.

So Mr. Wardrick is very curious, if Lynch builds a power plant and starts generating electricity, how will he sell his electricity?
The grid will not accept his electricity, even if he has a good relationship with Mr. Wardrick, unless he spends money to buy the right to use the grid and hand over the power terminal pricing power to the grid, otherwise his electricity will not be sold.

By the way, this is not a monopoly. With the entry into force of the "Anti-Monopoly Law", Federal Grid has been split into more than a dozen regional power grid companies. Although their shareholders have not changed from before, the "Anti-Monopoly Law" has no longer changed. applies to this section.

"In Zhulis... yes, it is the current capital of Ameria. There is a need for a medium-to-large thermal power generation project here. When I heard the news, I thought of you first."

Mr. Wardrick did not agree immediately after listening, but said in a gentle voice with a smile between the lines, "I'm not very interested in the business you mentioned, and the Gefra people will give it to you." We make trouble, this business is more complicated than you think."

"If you just build this power plant, it will be easier. Let me give you a suggestion, don't run it yourself. It is the home of the Gefra people, and you have no advantage."

"I have an advanced generator set here. If you need it, I can give you some discounts. If you need a designer, I can also introduce it to you."

"But to operate, no!"

He has already made it very clear that he will not do this. It is absolutely impossible for Gefla and the Federation to continue to develop peacefully like this.

In the future, some kind of ideological confrontation may form. After all, there is only one emperor, and the ruler of this world only needs one.

Once this confrontational environment is formed, those long-term industries built on the Gefra people's territory will become very, very troublesome. Just think about how the federal people dealt with those multinational companies before the federal economic recession.

Just looking for a small problem can bring down multinational companies with assets exceeding [-] million yuan. It is even easier to deal with thermal power projects, and even excuses are prepared, such as pollution.

All the chimneys erected by the federal people in Nagalil are emitting all kinds of dust, but they were all deemed to be environmentally friendly during inspections, because the inspections were done by federal agencies, and they said they were environmentally friendly.

The job of inspection on Gefra's site is decided by the Gefra people. Even if all the standards of the Federation are met, as long as they propose a "Gafra standard", people can do nothing about it.

Moreover, facilities that are crucial to a region, such as power plants and power grids, are generally impossible to be in the hands of foreigners. From the beginning, he had no such idea.

After listening to Mr. Wardrick's statement, Lynch was not discouraged. When he asked, he didn't consider that he would succeed. If Mr. Wardrick suddenly agreed with a cerebral thrombosis, it would be a surprise, and he would not let anyone agree. Disappointed.

But this phone call is not over yet, "How much do you know about Gefra's current thermal power generation unit?"

The receiver was silent for a few seconds, and then Mr. Wardrick's voice came, "Wait for a few minutes, I will start a conference call, and I don't know much about these things."

The federal telecommunications and telegraph department still maintains a large number of manual matching mechanisms. On the one hand, some lines need to be manually confirmed, and secondly, it is also for conference call services.

The current switches are not yet able to automatically match the teleconference, it can only be done manually, and the method is very simple, just plugging and unplugging.

About 2 minutes, after a brief noise, someone joined here.

"... is our best engineer so far, he can give you the answer to this question..."

The next period of time was full of communication between Lynch and the engineer. He kept writing and drawing on paper. After hanging up the phone, Lynch bowed his head and thought for a long time. It was not until dawn that the lights in the study were turned off. .

Some news about the power plant began to spread quickly. This is not a secret. The Governor's Office even implicitly hinted that the Gefra people must win this important project, and at the same time they are willing to give them some small "compensation" .

For example, if the policy is tilted, in addition to tax reductions, there will be additional financial subsidies. If you have such an advantage, you can't win the public bidding plan. Then you can only say that the Gefra businessman here is too disappointing.

Compared with the activity of the merchants in the Chamber of Commerce, Lynch seemed to be suppressed, and there were hardly any rumors about him and the power plant.

Some people think this is normal. He is at a disadvantage and there is a referee who blows the whistle. Even if Lynch is really capable, and even Emperor Gafla praised him, he can't play tricks here. .

Seeing that the groundwork for the matter was in place, the Governor's Mansion entered the process. At this time, a piece of news in the Baylor Federation caused a certain amount of repercussions around the world.

"Thermal power unit technology leads the world for 20 years! "

The governor looked at the Federal Daily which was dated the day before yesterday and did not raise his head for a long time. He was wearing a pair of reading glasses and carefully read the report.

According to the report, a federal industrial research institute has applied for a very special patented technology, which can reduce unnecessary losses in the process of thermal power generation, improve power generation efficiency, use the same fuel as a reference, and use the same fuel at the same time and environment Under the current situation, the power generation capacity of the new technology is about 5.00% to 15.00% higher than that of the power generation technology being used in major countries.

A very... amazing number. With the development of society and technology, human beings are increasingly inseparable from electricity.

Twenty years ago, a small power station generating only 20 kWh was enough to supply the electricity demand of a city with a population of 20.

Up to now, this demand has more than doubled, but we still face a shortage of electricity.

The people eliminated candles, used electric lights, and needed electricity.

Various convenient household appliances have begun to enter people's lives, and they also need electricity.

Factories have also become large consumers of electricity, especially light industrial factories, and electric drive production machinery has become the trend of future development.

There is a shortage of electricity everywhere, whether it is Gafra local or the federal government, many power generation projects are launched every year.

Now the federal people have come up with some new technologies, which have improved the efficiency of power generation under the same circumstances. The value of this technology can be imagined.

After the news came out, Gefra immediately made diplomatic representations, hoping to obtain new technologies in power generation through technology exchanges, but was directly rejected by the Federation.

The reason for refusal is that this cutting-edge technology is not included in the list of exchange and transfer. If the sale of goods does not involve patented technology, you can communicate with the research and development unit itself.

This thing... is very greedy, especially for Gefra, who has a limited land. The land area is small, the resources are scarce, and the energy gap can never be filled. If you can get these technologies, you can wake up from your dreams with a smile.

But at this time, there was no smile on the Governor's face, but a frown.

After a while, he put down the newspaper, tapped the newspaper twice with his fingers, and hit the table through the paper with force, making a dull "do-do" sound.

"This technology is so timely that it can't help but remind people of Lynch." Governor Seder looked at his son beside him.

The latter also nodded, "The current situation is a bit complicated, and it is not very beneficial to us."

Whether it is the Privy Council or the princes and ministers, suddenly there have been some small changes in their positions. They hope that Lynch can get the new power plant project of Zhulis, and at the same time, they also have to make a request for him, that is, they must adopt The unit with new technology will serve as the project unit.

As long as you get these units, you can find any reason to scrap one and secretly disassemble it. You can have any patented technology in your hands without spending more money.

But this made the governor very embarrassed!
