The current power supply in Fiso Port still relies on a power station built during the colonial period of the last century. The power station was nationalized in the 1970s and underwent upgrades.

However, due to the riot fifteen years ago and the severe economic crisis, the prices of many assets in the country plummeted. Sofina Investment Company in the country took the opportunity to acquire many power and energy supply facilities, including African countries. Sogang Power Station.

The Fiso Port Power Station currently has two sets of generating units built at the beginning of this century, with a total installed capacity of 20,000 kilowatts. They are relatively old. When one of the units needs maintenance, only the other unit is running.

Therefore, the current maximum power supply scale of Fiso Port is 20,000 kilowatts, and only 10,000 kilowatts can often be guaranteed. Only a few neighborhoods such as the southern seaside, the central district, and the trade district have stable power supply. Power outages occur frequently in other places, and many suburbs have no power supply at all.

The so-called stable supply refers to domestic electricity. As for industrial electricity... there seems to be no large-scale industry here. Some important production units, such as International Hospital and International Terminal, have their own emergency generator sets all year round to prevent sudden power supply problems.

The 100,000-kilowatt heavy oil power plant assisted by Dongguo has three units. It is currently very advanced and very mature technical equipment, with very stable operation, low failure rate, and much lower production and maintenance costs.

Once the agreement for this project was signed, the share price of Sofina Investment Company fell immediately. Perhaps a power station like Fiso Port is nothing, but the trend it represents has a great influence.

Not long ago, the authorities of the Kingdom of Kili had a subtle change in their attitude towards this aid project and expressed their intention to postpone the construction. The central government of Guinea also expressed that it no longer wanted to provide a repayment guarantee, and asked whether the local authorities of the Port of Aiso could provide a repayment guarantee alone?

The obvious reason is that the impact of the global epidemic has led to a decline in economic growth expectations, and the Port of Amisop has not had such a large demand for electricity for a long time.

Power generation requires costs. Once the unit is running, it cannot be stopped easily. It may be difficult to make a profit after it is completed. This will not only make it difficult to guarantee repayment with the power generation income after operation, but may also drag Fiso Port into the abyss of debt where the power station continues to lose money.

Lei Yunjin encountered problems with debt repayment after the project was completed. But this is the first time he has encountered this situation just after the foundation of the project was laid. It is obvious that someone does not want the power plant to be completed smoothly.

There are some rumors now. It is said that Sofina Investment Company lobbied the government of several countries. On the one hand, it said that with the economic scale of Fiso Port, building such a power plant would not be worth the gain. On the other hand, they also said that they would use the existing The power station can be upgraded to increase power generation capacity to meet power generation needs in a more economical way without the government taking on guarantee risks.

There are also rumors that an international charity foundation has provided several million US dollars in aid to the country of Kiribati for environmental protection. This aid is directly paid in cash and credited to the government's account, but there are political conditions attached, that is, the government cannot support projects that affect environmental protection.

It is difficult to say which projects will affect environmental protection. Although it has not been stated publicly, the organization verbally pointed out during communication that the Guilin government cannot support the heavy oil power plant project in the Port of Amisor and cannot provide a national credit guarantee for it. This is charity aid. premise.

I don’t know whether these rumors are true or not, and Lei Yunjin has no way to verify them anyway. However, the attitude of the Chilean government has indeed changed. Citing the impact of the epidemic, it is unwilling to continue to provide guarantees, so the project construction has stalled and has not explicitly stated that it will be cancelled.

After hearing this, Hua Zhenxing asked: "What to do with the completed parts of the power plant?"

Lei Yunjin: "We have completed the site leveling and the supporting heavy oil transportation terminal. This project is owned by the Beiwan District Government, and the owner is the Beiwan Electric Power Company specially established for this project. The latest news, Sofina Investment Company wants to Buy North Bay Electric at a low price and their stock price has gone up again recently.”

Hua Zhenxing glanced at Li Xiaoyang and said: "Then it would be better for Huanxiang Industrial to acquire it and buy it from the Beiwan District Government. I understand the situation in Kilili Country. The so-called three-level administrative governance system is no better than the Alliance of Chiefs. The government of Guilin and the municipal government of Fesoport have no control over this kind of decision made by the Beiwan District Government."

Li Xiaoyang nodded and said: "Yes, so the Gilguo government has no choice but to stop providing guarantees and cannot directly stop the project. If we buy it, we can continue to build it."

Lei Yunjin was stunned while holding the wine glass, and after a while he said: "Even if you buy it, it won't be easy to deal with. This is a construction aid project, and the China Development Bank will provide loans. I understand our policy, and we must have national credit." Guarantee, even if there is a guarantee from the North Bay District government.”

Huazhenxing said with the help of Jiu Jin: "Huanxiang Industrial can use gold as a pledge to Dongguo Bank as a guarantee, or directly pay the project payment in installments according to the progress. In addition, we can also think of other ways."

Li Xiaoyang continued to nod and said: "Yes, you can think about it again, there will always be a way."

Hua Zhenxing learned about the details of the heavy oil power plant project for the first time today. He immediately felt that he must try to save and build this power plant. Whether it is to build the Kelin District or transform the Beisuo River Basin, or to build the Zhenxing State in the future, it is nonsense without sufficient power supply.

When discussing the Beisuo River Basin reconstruction project, Huazhenxing insisted that the upstream reservoir should also become a hydropower station. This is also the reason. It is too early to count on hydropower stations, but the heavy oil power plant project can be built and put into operation soon. According to Lei Gong, as long as the other conditions are fine, it can even be completed faster than the original plan.

The problem of infrastructure and economic development is a chicken and egg cycle. If we do not establish this virtuous cycle, it will be a dead knot that cannot be opened. Although Huazhenxing still lacks specific engineering experience, it definitely has this insight.

Lei Yunjin drank a little too much and raised his glass: "Mr. Li, on behalf of the Engineering Command, I would like to toast you and your company! If you can really solve the problem of the power plant project, you will be a big help to us!"

To be honest, the first and second phases of the Beisuo River Basin transformation we just talked about are just a drop in the bucket for the headquarters. I have 1,500 people here. Even if I take over your project, it won’t be enough. Even the labor costs won’t be enough..."

When TEPCO No. 1 Company dispatches construction aid workers overseas, the cost per person per year is about 200,000 Dongguan. If the number of workers is 1,500, the cost per year is 300 million.

After the Feso River Bridge was completed, a group of workers were originally going to return home, but due to various reasons they were temporarily unable to evacuate. Even if Huanxiang Industrial's project comes next, the third phase of the reservoir project is currently just a plan, while the first and second phases will last for one year and cost 100 million, which is far from enough even for the labor costs of the project department.

Of course, the first and second phases of the Beisuo River Basin transformation project will not require so many people. Only when the heavy oil power plant project can be started smoothly can the problem of the project headquarters be truly solved. Otherwise, most engineering and technical personnel will have to try to separate Returned to China.

Once these people leave, it will be difficult to find them again, and their role cannot be replaced by anyone locally. As long as there are still enough projects in operation, even if someone returns to China, TEPCO No. 1 will send people to rotate them again.

On the way back after dinner, Hua Zhenxing kept thinking about this issue. There are two main conflicts at the moment. One is how to deal with the local authorities in Beiwan District, and the other is how much money will it cost?

Uncle Mo provided 100 million yuan in gold and stated that this was Huanxiang Industrial's budget for one year, and 50 million had been spent so far. As for the remaining 50 million meters of gold, equivalent to 350 million yuan, it seems like a lot, but it must be used elsewhere.

The projects we are talking about today, except for the two small projects of apartment buildings and new blocks, all require Huazhenxing to figure out the funds themselves.

He used to be just a boy in a grocery store, how could he ever do such a big thing? But if you dare to dream, you dare to do it. He also wants to create a country of fantasy!

Hua Zhenxing sat in the car and settled accounts silently. According to Lei Yunjin's introduction, the total cost of the heavy oil power plant is US$124 million, and the cost of the first and second phases of the Beisuo River reconstruction project is 100 million yuan. Adding these two items together, the total cost is about 140 million meters of gold, and the payment cycle is one to one and a half years.

How much capital does Huazhen Bank expect to be able to mobilize? Currently, there are 15 million rice gold in the Jindianxing account. The mining company is expected to spend 40 million meters of gold to purchase two tons of mine gold, which can extract 1.4 tons of pure gold. If the refining costs are not included, it is equivalent to an income of more than 93 million meters of gold.

In other words, he can raise about 120 million meters of gold, which is basically enough. Moreover, there will be new mining gold production in Fiso Port this year. Although it is impossible to acquire that much again, it is also a source of profit.

The calculation was very clear, but Hua Zhenxing did not expect that his "refining ability" was so exaggerated? One point and four tons a year means that he has to refine seven or eight pounds of pure gold every day, which is comparable to a small factory.

Seeing Hua Zhenxing's silence, Li Xiaoyang, who was sitting in the front row, asked, "Xiaohua, have you drunk too much?"

Hua Zhenxing: "No, I was just thinking about what we talked about today."

Li Xiaoyang didn't look worried about funds, but smiled and said: "The harvest is coming again. Who wants to show off his abilities? Those who can do it should work harder!"

Manman next to him asked in a low voice what they were talking about, and Hua Zhenxing explained in local dialect. Manman nodded and said: "Those who are capable work harder, and those who love to show off their talents work harder. Hua, you also love to show off your talents, and you can do everything!"

Hua Zhenxing was speechless for a while. Why couldn't she distinguish between praise and blame? Is this a compliment or a detriment? But looking at Manman's innocent little eyes, he must be sincerely praising him. It seems that he needs to learn the language well.
