.

Qiang watched coldly as the Western Power Company opened public at the Ministry of Energy all day and did not intend to participate.

Energy has always been a big problem in our country.

Since the country has been in a state of poverty for more than a hundred years, the entire industrialization is to completely copy Western experience. In the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, my country's abundant coal mine storage made the country no longer need to be nervous about energy.

But when Western countries began to turn to the oil industry, China was in a state of war, and then the eight-year war of resistance against Japan ended. The War of Resistance Against Japan was followed by the War of Liberation. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was hostile and rejected by the entire Western countries. When the oil industry went from immature to full popularization, we were absent due to various reasons and lost the most valuable development opportunities.

By the time we wanted to buy oil, the oil resources detected at that time had been divided up by Western countries. The Middle East has become the focus of the US-Soviet battle. China is powerless and dare not join this resource war. It can only rely on its own oil resource exploration.

As a strategic energy source, the country has invested a lot of manpower and material resources to develop its own oil resources.

Daqing Oilfield, Shengli Oilfield, and large oilfields explored oil one by one, which instantly took off our poor oil country. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it strongly supported the domestic industrial modernization construction.

But although the reserves of these oil fields are not small, they are very small compared to the world's oil reserves.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, we were also a net exporter of oil and had the ability to export oil to the outside world.

However, this situation changed rapidly. As domestic reform and opening up deepened, a large number of foreign-funded companies came to China to open factories. Domestic private enterprises also flourished, and soon our power supply became scarce.

And this gap is expanding rapidly!

China has turned from an oil exporter to a net oil importer. All oil products are prohibited from exporting.

By 2004, due to the unprecedented prosperity of the world economy, domestic industries started to work hard to meet the demand for goods from all over the world. China, the "world factory", has full power and is supplying orders from all over the world.

Thousands of new factories open every day, and the number of new jobs exceeds 60,000 every day!

The power gap suddenly appeared.

There is a large-scale power shortage in the southern coastal areas where the domestic export industry is the most developed. During the day, residential areas will shut down and limit power until the industrial power consumption is significantly reduced at night, and power supply is gradually restored.

Every month, there are new hydropower stations and thermal power stations are put into operation, but they are still unable to cope with the increasing power demand.

As the water volume decreases, the water supply is particularly tight.

The entire power gap in the south reached 28 billion kilowatts per hour, which seriously restricted my country's ability to share more profits when the world economy entered the fast lane!

While vigorously developing inland provinces, the country is also racking its brains to consider how to increase the power supply.

Although when the United States entered the core management of Pangu world, China and the United States conducted a series of exchanges of interests, which gained many benefits, allowing Chinese goods to enter and exit the United States freely, promoting further economic development.

But the United States is not a good person. In order to maintain its status as a global superpower, it will never let go of its strategic oil and computers. It is very kind to say on the surface: "We are based on the common development of China. If China needs to buy oil fields, we will provide help within our ability."

But in fact, when China Petroleum was preparing to acquire American Petroleum, it was immediately blocked from all aspects.

A vigorous acquisition has to end. China can only admit that it is almost impossible to buy the development rights of an oil field from a Western country led by the United States!

Although the hypocrisy of the United States has been seen through by the world again, the fact that China lacks energy has not changed at all!

In this case, a large number of Western energy companies began to gather in Beijing and lobby with the Ministry of Energy to open energy companies in China.

Xiao Qiang saw the opportunity, but did not dive into it.

He knew very well that it was absolutely impossible for a country to hand over control of energy to foreign companies. Not to mention foreign companies, even domestic companies, they were absolutely controlled by the state.

This is the main reason why he has this ability but has not entered the energy supply field for a long time.

In China, he does not want to own his own local energy company. In foreign countries, energy suppliers are a whole of interests, without the protection of the state. If he touches the interests of Western energy groups without authorization, he will definitely be attacked by the other party and may lose all his money!

The profits in this industry are so great and the risks are so high!

Xiao Qiang has a strong desire to possess and interests can be divided, but he must occupy a dominant position. He will invest huge amounts of money to build energy enterprises and hand them over to others, and he will never agree.

Things that cannot take the big picture, don’t do it at the beginning!

This is what Xiao Qiang thought.

But in May 2004, Xiao Qiang saw a new signal, a signal discovered by his keen commercial awareness: private individuals can invest in small hydropower, thermal power and other power stations, and the power of the production site will be acquired uniformly by the state.

This means that the country has opened up the energy construction field to the public to a limited extent under the premise of unified dispatching of electricity distribution.

Not only him is the only one who saw this signal, but also countless businessmen in China looking for investment opportunities.

In the south, a large number of small hydropower stations began to be constructed; in the north, the wind power stations in Inner Mongolia, a wave of construction of small and medium-sized power stations has been set off across the country.

What is the most profitable in the 21st century?

energy!

Everyone can see this, before

But now, since the state allows private investment in building power plants, will it become the future Rockefeller?

In this case, Austin knocked on the door of his office and placed the stack of information he collected on Xiao Qiang's office desk: "Boss, I think we have prepared more than ten years of technology and can be taken out! We can enter this field completely, and we must enter it! You know better than me. Mastering energy is equivalent to mastering everything!"

Xiao Qiang silently looked through the vast amount of information Austin brought him, without saying a word.

He was hesitating.

The current energy technology of Universal Company has achieved the same level of development as that of foreign countries. The laboratories have finely produced products, and due to the use of fully automated laboratories, there may be a little improvement.

But this industry has formed a global interest group.

Universal's products, unconventional energy, are new energy, which will inevitably lead to fierce conflicts with other energy suppliers. If interests are intertwined, no one will show mercy. Once a conflict breaks out, it will inevitably come to an end with one party.

He finished reading the relevant information brought by Austin in one afternoon, picked up Austin's report and looked at it line by line.

The report was written by Austin and printed by the secretary, with a relatively large font. It doesn't seem to be difficult at all.

But he still reads it very slowly and has to think about every line of words carefully.

Austin sat patiently in the chair opposite, without saying a word, waiting for several hours. All the unimportant documents were handed over to the secretary for processing. Only a few important documents could he ask the secretary to bring them in quietly for review on site.

Xiao Qiang finally finished reading the entire report, put it down, and rubbed his eyes.

Austin waved his hand and asked the secretary to take away all the documents and leave Xiao Qiang's office.

"Your plan is huge, and you don't know if it involves energy and electricity supply. There are also related industries such as electrical, automobiles, etc.," Xiao Qiang raised his head and said expressionlessly, "Do you know, how many people will touch the interests of this? Together these industries, the total assets can surpass the United States! You are taking too fast, too radical, too radical!"

Austin asked tentatively, touching the meaning of the small reinforcement, “Boss, I am also preparing to develop step by step. You have also seen that my report is based on erosion step by step…”

Xiao Qiang tapped the table gently with his fingers, and his tone did not fluctuate: "Then you have to give you a chance! Our company is now attracting wind, and too many people are staring at us. Although this market can make great achievements, there is no need to push yourself to the forefront..."

He stopped talking and said no more.

Austin immediately understood what he meant, nodded, stood up, and took the report: "I understand, then use the companies that have been prepared for several years to take the lead! I will submit a new report to you in a week."

"Let the German optical lens company make a special batch of lenses. We must be prepared too." Xiao Qiang reminded before he left the house.

Seeing the door slowly closing, Xiao Qiang felt a little uneasy.

He was really unsure of this. Even if he pushed the hidden pieces to the front, he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the anger from global energy suppliers. He knew how powerful these energy suppliers were.

There are also competitors who also develop solar power systems, which will also launch counterattacks from both light and dark aspects.

Secretly destroying, obstructing, and maybe even attacks by force, which is possible!

It seems that we should be low-key first and then take every step.

In short, it is absolutely impossible to expose Universal Company as the behind-the-scenes planner, otherwise the troubles that may be encountered in the future will be endless.

Xiao Qiang thought for a while, picked up the phone on the table and called Qin Yunqiang directly: "I am Xiao Qiang. How is the research on multijunction solar cells going... Forget it, you come here immediately with Ye Chao, the Solar Cell Research Institute."

"Yes!" Qin Yunqiang agreed very simply and hung up the phone.

Xiao Qiang was very satisfied with Qin Yunqiang. This person had poor research skills, but had very strong organizational skills. He could understand what the researchers were thinking and did the logistics work steadily. He could also notice the boss's business development direction, and arranged the priorities properly. He attached great importance to key research. He had no mistakes when he was left to him for research.

In less than ten minutes, Qin Yunqiang and Ye Chao from the Solar Energy Research Institute pushed open Xiao Qiang's office door.

In their hands, they held a large stack of information.

It was quite fast to be able to prepare all the information from a large company in less than ten minutes and rush over. Xiao Qiang smiled and asked them to sit down, and poured them a black tea for them himself.

He pays great attention to these details.

Pouring a cup of tea is not a physical job, but it can put a warm tea cup in the hands of researchers. With just these little favors, the researchers are grateful. Xiao Qiang did not become arrogant because he had achieved success and had a very high reputation in the world.

He always remembers that he could have what he is today due to his subordinates who are increasingly becoming national treasures, and he has strong support behind his back.

"Mr. Xiao!" Seeing him handing over the teacup, both of them stood up and took the cup respectfully.

"Don't be restrained. For me, just like in your research institute, just like in your research institute." Xiao Qiang smiled and took off his coat. He threw it on the sofa next to him and sat on the sofa opposite the two. "This is the first time Lao Ye has come, but Lao Qin has come often, so you are restrained, haha. I'm just asking about the progress of the research, so don't be nervous."

Qin Yunqiang smiled and cooperated to unbutton his suit, but carefully

side.

Ye Chao also relaxed after the two of them sang and sang.

He opened the computer bag, took out a notebook made by Universal, placed it on the coffee table in the middle, and opened the flip cover.

This is a laptop specially made by Universal for researchers. The flip screen is made of foldable flexible LCD. All opens to be equivalent to a 21-inch large screen. It is a double-sided display. When operating the computer, the person sitting opposite him can also see the specific display effect from the LCD screen on the back, which is very convenient for others to demonstrate and explain.

"Mr. Xiao, our Solar Cell Research Institute was established in the early 1990s. You asked for a batch of primary products. Later, you asked us for several improvements. It was not until the mid-1990s that you did not ask about the latest progress." Ye Chao seemed confident when talking about his professional knowledge and talked freely in front of Xiao Qiang.

Xiao Qiang nodded.

The first batch of solar panels were prepared for Yankevic when he first arrived in Guinea-Bissau. Later, as the base scale gradually expanded, the demand for solar panels continued to increase.

By the 1990s to the middle and late stages, the base had already gained a foothold in Africa, and the power supply systems such as the invested power plants were put into use one after another, and the process of continuous blood transfusion by the head office was stopped.

"Over the years, while we have absorbed the research results of foreign solar cells, we are also developing our unique technology. After more than ten years of continuous research, we have basically kept up with the progress of foreign research and are roughly on the same level as foreign countries. The data we use as references in comparison are all from the information that has been published by the academic community at present." Ye Chao looked at the computer that had been started, clicked on a data report, and used the mouse to prompt Xiao Qiang's attention.
