Chapter 957 Electricity Export Agreement
A misconception most people have is that nuclear power is cheaper than most forms of electricity generation.
In fact, this is a misunderstanding.
According to the survey results of Bloomberg New Energy Financial Consulting Company in the United States, the average cost of power generation of global nuclear power plants is 14 cents per kWh, or about 0.85 yuan, which is almost the same as the cost of solar power generation. Compared with the cost of 8.2 cents for land wind power and high-efficiency natural gas power generation, the cost of nuclear power is much higher, and even slightly higher than that of thermal power with coal, natural gas, and oil as the main fuels.
Nuclear power can alleviate the shortage of electricity, but it cannot effectively reduce electricity prices. In particular, the safety of nuclear power plants has attracted increasing media attention. In order to prevent serious nuclear accidents such as core meltdown, nuclear power plants have to spend more budget on safety maintenance, so that the cost of power generation has always been increasing. Only by increasing the size of the nuclear power plant, it is possible to reduce its not cheap cost.
Against such a background, it is no wonder that Jiang Chen’s offer of 0.05 ringgit shocked the Malay Prime Minister so much. Converted into RMB, 0.05 ringgit is equivalent to 8 cents. There is no power generation method in the world that can reduce the cost to such an extent.
In other words, if the price of electricity is so cheap that there is no need for other energy sources, everyone can simply use electricity for all they can.
If Razak knew the cost of the star ring trade, I'm afraid he would be even more shocked. A kilowatt-hour of electricity was sold to him for 8 cents, while the cost of Star Ring Trade was only 1 cent at most. The proven reserves of helium 3 on the moon are as high as one million tons, and 100 tons is enough for the whole world to use for one year. As for the deuterium needed for the reaction, it is even more abundant in the ocean. As long as the refining technology is in place, the cost is completely negligible.
In short, after hearing Jiang Chen's offer, the Prime Minister was completely restless.
Controlling his shortness of breath, he was silent for a moment before opening his mouth.
"Can't we build that nuclear power plant in our country?"
Razak has made up his mind that even if the entire Malaysian parliament votes against the nuclear power project, he will persuade those members to nod to the project one by one. This is so important to Malaysia! Not only is it related to the living cost of the people, but the electricity price directly affects the cost of industrial production. If the electricity price can be lowered, more international companies will come to build factories and invest!
Moreover, the financial subsidies provided by the Malay government on electricity bills every year can also be completely withdrawn, and this large amount of budget can be transferred to education, medical care and other fields.
But Jiang Chen shook his head.
"There is no point in building a nuclear power plant in your country,
The energy needed for nuclear power plants requires a mineral from the moon. This kind of mineral is not very convenient to transport... In short, the benefits of building this nuclear power plant in space are far greater than those on the surface. What's more, in space, we don't need to worry about nuclear leakage accidents at all. "
Jiang Chen's words made Razak fall into silence again.
On the one hand, he was moved by Jiang Chen's quotation, but on the other hand, he was worried that it might force the local power generation companies in Malay to go bankrupt, making it impossible for Malay to get rid of the cheap electricity from the Star Ring Trade.
Jiang Chen was not in a hurry, he immediately responded, leaned back on the chair leisurely, picked up the tea and took a sip.
At this time, the black tea had already warmed up quite a bit. While sipping tea leisurely, Jiang Chen quietly waited for Razak's reply.
It is best to get a satisfactory answer from the prime minister. If not, he can only spend some time in contact with Malaysian parliamentarians and politicians, and use enough benefits to force the prime minister to compromise on the power grid issue.
In addition, with the two major media tools of Future Man 1.0 and virtual reality network in his hands, there are many methods he can use. Just let the Malay people know that they had hoped to use the electricity price of 0.05 ringgit, but because of the PY transaction between the Prime Minister and other "black-hearted businessmen", cheap electricity cannot enter the domestic market...
Jiang Chen looked at Razak quietly, waiting for him to make a decision.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the Prime Minister relaxed his expression and said.
"It's okay to build a submarine cable, and it's okay to connect to the Malay grid from Singapore-Malaysia, but we are willing to import 26-30 billion kwh of electricity from you in the first year. The National Electricity Bureau and TNB Power Company will discuss the specific cooperation plan. Talk to you."
26 billion kah, equivalent to 10% of Malaysia's annual electricity consumption. According to the export price of MYR 0.05, the power grid operator in Malaysia will pay 1.3 billion MYR in foreign exchange to Transwarp Trading, which is equivalent to 2 billion RMB.
As for TNB, it is a power giant in Malaysia, and they basically manage the power grid. Jiang Chen believed that they had no reason to reject this highly profitable electricity export agreement.
Jiang Chen believes that within a year, TNB will shut down a few high-emission power stations with an excuse, and then take the initiative to come to the door and ask to sell more of itself.
0.05 ringgit of electricity, resold for 0.1 ringgit. If you have money but don’t make money, is that still called a capitalist?
Leaving the Prime Minister's Office contentedly, Xinghuan Trading's Malay branch has sent a special car to wait at the door. After Jiang Chen got in the car, he ordered the driver to take him to Kuala Lumpur, where he stopped at a Hilton in downtown Kuala Lumpur. Hotel entrance.
Because he still had to negotiate with the State Electricity Bureau and TNB Power Company about the specific contracts for submarine cables and exporting electricity, he had to temporarily change his plan of going back and forth for the day and chose to stay in Malaysia for an extra day.
He went straight to the hotel counter, and when he took out the black diamond card that Nassetta gave him, the hotel manager immediately vacated a presidential suite for him, and respectfully sent him to the door of the room.
After checking into the room, Jiang Chen took off his formal clothes, took a shower, changed into casual clothes, and sat on the sofa in the living room.
After opening a bottle of red wine and turning on the home theater, Jiang Chen picked up a movie he hadn't seen while holding the remote control.
Guns and plasma are always the theme of Hollywood action blockbusters, and they are also the most eye-catching places for audiences. It is this kind of movies that Jiang Chen likes to watch the most on weekdays.
Without an explosion, can it still be called a Hollywood blockbuster?
After watching for about 30 to 40 minutes, the film reached its climax, and a shootout between police and robbers was taking place on the screen. Jiang Chen was staring at the screen intently, enjoying watching, but the alarm bell rang in his ears.
alarm bell?
Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, and looked out the window.
The alarm sound didn't seem to come from the home theater's stereo, but from the street below the window.
"What happened outside? There must be at least six or seven police cars with such a noisy alarm bell."
Out of curiosity, Jiang Chen picked up the remote control to pause the movie, walked to the window and looked out. I saw a shopping mall building half a street away, and a row of police cars with red and blue lights blocked the entrance of the shopping mall.
Jiang Chen's expression was a little weird.
It just so happened that I was watching a gangster movie just now, and there was a confrontation between the gangsters outside.
