Chapter 666: The Construction of the Merdeka Hydropower Station Begins and the Acquisition of a Large Steel and Cement Plant

As for the progress of the Mekong Water Power Station project, the Mekong Water Power Station has completed raising shareholders and is about to officially start construction.

Among them, the total capital of the Merdeka Hydropower Station Company is 450 billion Xia Yuan, and the land above the Merdeka Hydropower Station is priced at 150 billion Xia Yuan. With the investment of the land and other state-owned enterprises, Daxia Guanfu has a shareholding ratio of 36%.

As for Shuguang Technology, it invested 247 billion Xia Yuan, accounting for 55% of the shares.

As for the remaining 9% of the shares, the capital requirement of up to 45 billion Xia Yuan is to publicly sell shares to raise shareholders.

But not everyone is eligible to buy the shares that are publicly sold to the outside world. Only those citizens of Daxia nationality can buy them, which is considered an intangible benefit.

As for whether the people of Daxia can spend 45 billion Xia Yuan to buy the remaining 9% of the stocks, there is no pressure.

In less than an hour after the relevant news was announced, the people of Daxia snapped up the remaining 9% of the shares!

After all, everyone across the country has long known that the Merdeka Hydropower Station is about to be built. The public fundraising to develop the Merdeka Hydropower Station has long been publicized through the media and Sugon Technology.

As for the future prospects of the Merdeka hydropower station project, everyone can naturally see that the 70-year income is very attractive. Everyone has already been gearing up for the funds raised this time.

Therefore, the purchase of 9% of the shares of the Moji Hydropower Station Company can really be described as a "rush purchase".

In order to buy more shares, many of them even used their own house buying and pension money to buy shares of the Merkel Hydropower Station Company.

But unfortunately, the total amount of funds raised from the outside world is only 45 billion Xia Yuan. Naturally, there are more people and less meat.

And if it weren't for the maximum individual purchase limit of 50,000 Xia Yuan, many people in Daxia would not be able to buy it if they wanted to.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that if Lin Chen had not specifically requested to raise funds publicly to distribute some soup to the people of Great Xia, then this measly 45 billion Xia Yuan and 9% of the shares would have nothing to do with ordinary people.

Domestic insurance companies and investment institutions can easily absorb this mere 45 billion yuan.

But because Lin Chen strongly requested that ordinary people in Great Xia can also participate and eat some soup, this investment will not be profited by internal sources, and ultimately has nothing to do with ordinary people.

As for why Lin Chen wanted to do this, it was naturally to unite more people and to give himself a little more insurance.

After all, if there are only a few or dozens of shareholders, it will be easy for the superiors to manipulate Lin Chen when the relationship between the two parties is not good in the future, but if millions of ordinary people are introduced as shareholders, the meaning will be completely different.

It’s also some kind of check and balance, some kind of survival wisdom.

Daxia obviously understood Lin Chen's concerns, so they finally agreed to Lin Chen's request after some discussion. After all, without Lin Chen's money, this Mekong Hydropower Station really couldn't be built.

As for who is the contractor of the Merdeka Hydropower Station?

This contractor is the Three Gorges Construction Company, which built the Three Gorges Dam, not Shuguang Construction Company.

After all, the higher authorities are not confident about Shuguang Construction Company's construction capabilities and dam construction experience, and are worried that it will engage in parallel import projects.

So they directly forced the Three Gorges Construction Company, which had experience in Three Gorges Dam construction, to undertake the construction. Lin Chen only had financial and engineering supervision rights.

Lin Chen naturally accepted this.

After all, Shuguang Construction Company does not have experience in dam construction. Compared with Three Gorges Construction Company, which built the Three Gorges Dam, they are indeed a less experienced party.

It doesn’t matter that someone else is building the project without the 18% quality assurance. After all, super projects like the Moji Hydropower Station are designed with redundancy.

The entire Mo dehydration power station must be rough-skinned and thick-skinned. All potential risks have been taken into consideration. Whether the quality increases by 18% is not important in itself and can be ignored.

Therefore, Lin Chen had no objection to Three Gorges Construction Company's contract to build the Merdeka Hydropower Station, as long as they used Shuguang Engineering robots and gave priority to purchasing construction materials from Shuguang Construction Company.

In this regard, after some discussion above, it is said that Sugon Engineering Robots will naturally be adopted on a large scale to save costs.

However, every batch of building materials produced by Shuguang Construction Company needs to be inspected, and only those that are qualified can be used.

In this regard, Lin Chen naturally didn't hesitate, saying that building materials should indeed be inspected in every batch. This is responsible for Shuguang Construction Company and all the people. This is a good thing.

So, this matter was settled in this way, in order for Shuguang Construction Company to quickly obtain the production capacity of building materials.

With the capital injection from parent company Shuguang Holdings, Shuguang Construction Company directly acquired two large cement plants and a large steel plant in Shanghai.

At this point, Sugon Construction Company has its own mid-to-high-end steel production capacity, coupled with the high-entropy alloy production plant affiliated with Sugon Automobile Factory.

Shuguang Technology can completely solve the material demand for metals and can produce the corresponding metals in-house.

Although Shuguang Construction Company does not have its own mining plant as of now, the main mineral sources are Maanshan Minerals, Australian Minerals and minerals from other mining plants across the country. Compared with other companies, the production cost is slightly higher.

But compared to directly purchasing finished steel produced by others as before, this is simply not too affordable.

And for this large steel plant, Lin Chen's future positioning is to specialize in the production of mid-to-high-end steel and special alloy steel, so a slightly higher production cost is acceptable.

Moreover, after owning this large-scale steel plant, the steel produced in the future can not only be used in major infrastructure projects, but also used by Sugon Automobile, and can also be sold externally.

With the quality of products produced by Lin Chen's holding companies increasing by 18%, the mid-to-high-end steel, special alloys and cement produced by Shuguang Construction Company will definitely be in short supply in the future, so this investment will not be a loss.

However, in order to cover up the sudden increase in quality, Lin Chen naturally stopped operations after completing the acquisition of the steel and cement factory, and then resorted to many tricks to finally resume production and produce amazing high-quality steel and cement.

Of course, these things have little to do with the Merdehyde Hydropower Station, because the Merdehyde Hydropower Station Company has completed the fund raising process.

It didn't take long for the highways and Merdeka hydropower stations invested by Shuguang Construction Company across the country to begin vigorous construction and construction.

Among them, Shuguang Technology has not undertaken external projects since the last time it released engineering robots. The purpose is to stock up a large number of engineering robots for its own use.

At this time, with the construction of the Moji Hydropower Station and the highway, people at home and abroad can finally officially see the picture of engineering robots working together and efficiently.

Among them, perhaps the picture of the engineering robot working fully automatically and efficiently has great artistic value. Many people in China really went to watch it.

If the number of people watching the work of engineering robots at various construction sites across the country were totaled, the number of people would easily exceed 1 million! (End of chapter)
