It should be said that any internationalization that has reached a certain level can avoid involvement in international relations, and Fan's Investment Group is now at this threshold.

When the coming-of-age dance was successfully held, international media expressed great attention to Fan Wubing and Shen Ying, a pair of young Chinese people, appeared at the dance. This incident also attracted high attention from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They once reprinted these contents back to China to show that China, which is striving for reform, is gradually integrating into the international community.

But soon, the ambassador to France received a very important news that Fan Wubing was planning to discuss nuclear power technology cooperation with the French, as well as wind and solar energy utilization issues.

"How could such a thing happen?!" The ambassador to France was shocked and thought to himself that this kind of thing could be discussed by a company at will?

It would be fine if it was used for wind and solar energy, it was considered high-tech, but nuclear energy utilization seemed to be discussed at the government level in his impression, right?

Therefore, the ambassador to France immediately made an appointment with Fan Wubing to inquire about the authenticity of the matter.

"I was just thinking about it, and no collaborators came to contact me." Fan Wubing replied vaguely, not saying that there would be collaborators, or just consider it.

"Then is this true or false?" asked the ambassador.

"It is hard to say that business operations will be successful, and it doesn't matter whether it is true or false. Before the project is implemented, everything is empty talk.

” Fan Wubing replied.

The ambassador told Fan Wubing for half a time, but he didn't ask what was going on. He had to go back to the embassy in depression. The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. So he sent a telegram to the country overnight.

After all, it is impossible for the government to not interfere in such major events involving sensitive topics.

French nuclear power companies also heard about this. Although it was a bit incredible that Fan Wubing, a private company, wanted to develop nuclear power technology, it might be possible that Fan's Investment Group's reputation would be placed there, or to discuss business on behalf of the government?

So they immediately sent senior executives to contact Fan Wubing to determine whether this matter was groundless or whether Fan's Investment Group did have this intention.

The senior vice president of the French nuclear power company, named Cretien, came to visit Fan Wubing on the board of directors.

Fan Wubing met Cretien in the Louis XV suite at the Hotel Clion. As a senior executive of the French Nuclear Power Company, he was qualified to enjoy this treatment and had a personal talk for an afternoon. No one knew what they were talking about.

Unlike other places, the Hotel Clion is a residence where the Louis XV suite has been inspected through layers of security, so it is impossible to exist whether it is eavesdropping equipment or other equipment. Although the outside world is very interested in the content of the two spies, they have no way to know what they have discussed.

When Kretien left Louis XV's apartment, he looked very secretive and did not show any expression. Fan Wubing himself did not make any clear statement about the rumors.

The media throughout Paris are having a heated debate on the talks between Cretien and Fan Wubing. Based on the basis and possibility of cooperation between the two major companies, they will discuss in depth whether French nuclear power companies can successfully reach cooperation with Fan Investment Group?

At this time, Fan Wubing was lying comfortably in the hotel, listening to his subordinates reporting on their situation.

"What's the international reaction?" Fan Wubing asked.

A subordinate of Fan Wubing immediately replied, "The French are in high spirits. The British said they should be cautious. The Chinese strongly opposed it. The Italians said they didn't care. The Germans hoped to participate. The Russians said that although there were problems with their nuclear power plants, the quality has stabilized in recent years. I hope we can consider it. Their biggest advantage is the cheap price."

Fan Wubing nodded, thinking that the Russians are actually relatively advanced in nuclear power technology, but the relationship between China and Russia has not yet become popular. The topic of nuclear power technology cooperation is a bit sensitive. If they feel that they have let their pigeons go, it will probably make China-Russia relations worse, so it is better not to tease polar bears.

The opposition of the Americans is expected. As long as other countries cooperate with the Chinese, they will strongly oppose it. Not only do they oppose it, but they will take action. They will try to make this matter worse. Of course, if you are purchasing American services, it will be completely a two-faced person. However, in terms of cooperation in nuclear power technology, Americans do not have much cooperation for China, and can only be a unilateral technical output, so their enthusiasm is not high.

As for the Germans, although the economy was strong at this time, there was still a big gap in nuclear power technology compared to France and Russia. Moreover, the Germans themselves were more repulsive to nuclear power, and the people were afraid of nuclear waste. They were deeply troubled by the problem of nuclear waste to a certain extent.

Development of domestic nuclear power technology.

Therefore, Fan Wubing would not choose another country if he wanted to talk about nuclear power technology cooperation.

However, I finally couldn't sit still in my heart and couldn't figure out what Fan Wubing was doing. Of course, the senior executives would not feel at ease. Through the embassy's confidential line, Boss Zhu came forward to talk to Fan Wubing.

"I said Mr. Fan, are you really playing with the French?" asked Boss Zhu.

"It depends on the situation. Actually, I am really interested in their nuclear power technology." Fan Wubing replied without any concealment.

In fact, the big concern in China is not that Fan Wubing cooperates with the French to develop nuclear power technology, but that he is worried that he will contact him randomly and that the promises will not be fulfilled at that time will make the French unhappy and thus affect the improvement of Sino-France relations.

"I know your concerns, because the nuclear power project may not be implemented in China." Fan Wubing answered Boss Zhu's inquiry like this.

"Don't land in China? What does it mean?" Boss Zhu didn't understand Fan Wubing's intention for a while, and couldn't help but ask.

Fan Wubing replied, "I have invested a lot in the sea recently and plan to build a factory in Southeast Asia. It may require a lot of power resources to support it. It is a luxury to rely on their local power resources to solve this problem. Therefore, I have the idea of ​​cooperating with the French and building nuclear power plants overseas."

"So that's it--" After hearing Fan Bing's explanation, Boss Zhu felt something, but he felt a little sorry. Fan Wubing's capital is huge, which everyone knows. Instead of investing in China, it is difficult to develop overseas.

"It's not that I don't want to develop in China. Sometimes I'm too constrained and I don't feel comfortable overseas. Take nuclear power technology as an example. Can I have room for my development in China?" Fan Wubing asked back in response to this question.

Boss Zhu shook his head. Although he didn't say anything, he couldn't say Fan Wubing's words were unreasonable.

France is currently the country with the largest proportion of nuclear power applications, and nearly 80% of the country's electricity comes from nuclear power. More importantly, France was originally a backward country in nuclear power technology, but because of its good learning and innovation, it has achieved world-class nuclear power technology in a short time and has become one of the top three nuclear power companies in the world.

In terms of nuclear research, France and China are both latecomers. The research of both countries started almost at the same time, both in the 1950s, but my country's initial research mainly focused on national defense purposes.

In 1970, France already had independent intellectual property rights to build six nuclear power plants. At this time, France was facing a historic crossroads. Should it purchase the pressurized water reactor technology of the most advanced and economical American Westinghouse Company, or continue to develop independent technology?

After some painful trade-offs, the French decided to give up their original technology and Famaton purchased a patent for pressurized water reactor technology from Westinghouse. Based on the absorption and application of American technology, Famaton made many innovations to build the world's most advanced n4 series reactor and quickly realize the autonomy of nuclear power technology.

In 1983, just one year after the expiration of the contract with the United States, France was impatient to sell its technology to China. In addition to China, France's technology was also widely used in European countries. Later, France developed the third-generation nuclear power technology.

France only took thirteen years to transform from the importing country to the exporting country. It introduced, digested, absorbed and innovated, and France became a nuclear power power power in a short period of time.

The current situation China is facing is similar to France in 1970. The problem of energy shortage is relatively serious. With the further deepening of reform and development, energy demand will increase exponentially, and there is no need to rescue nuclear power without large-scale development.

Although China has a certain technological accumulation, its overall level is behind people and cannot be counted in terms of specific applications. Although China is also engaged in cooperation and development of nuclear power technology, it lacks the ambition of the French, and learns from their opponents and ultimately beats their opponents.

Fan Wubing struck while the iron was hot and said to Boss Zhu, "The development of domestic nuclear power technology has historical positive and negative examples as a mirror. The positive example is France, and the negative example is ourselves. Since our first introduction of French technology, precious opportunities are actually ahead, but we have never grasped them well. It has been thirteen years since my country's nuclear power development, and foreigners have been training troops in our country in turn. However, our progress in core technology has always been unsatisfactory and we have to pay expensive prices again and again. I believe that after the lessons of replacing the market with technology again and again, the Chinese people can wake up."

Boss Zhu said after a long time, "What do you mean?"

Fan Wubing replied, "Actually, I want to go overseas to train troops!"
