Wang Ai was once again shocked by his father's words. What he is good at is philosophy, the macro level, and strategic thinking. Of course, he also has the convenience of rebirth, but his father is the one who really fights on the front line of organization and production. He comes from
Thoughts condensed from the needs in actual work.
Analyzed from the father's perspective, this reason is quite strong. Originally, one-third of the country's civilian paper was in the Northeast, with Liaoyang, Hunchun, Daqing, and Tongliao as bases. Because of the characteristics of civilian paper, the unit cost of long-distance transportation is very high.
If it is too high, it must be solved on the spot. For example, Wang Ai has two paper mills in the small town of Appiano in Milan.
Even developed countries like Italy must rely on domestic production to provide civilian paper, so China's civilian paper in the three northeastern provinces must still be produced locally now and in the future.
After being divided into four bases, it can satisfy the needs of the three northeastern provinces, Japan, South Korea, eastern Inner Mongolia, and a small amount of Russia. Moreover, today's product line is no longer just toilet paper, including printing paper, coated paper, packaging paper, and special paper.
From civilian to industrial to military use, there are even some that even Wang Ai doesn’t know what they are used for.
Therefore, the on-site upgrade mentioned by Wang Ai from backward production capacity to advanced production capacity can at least keep up with the pace of adjustment of the national manufacturing industry. But energy is indeed a big problem. Burning coal pollutes, boiling water is useless, and burning oil is too expensive.
, the steam burning is unstable, and the burning is not effective. Considering this, there seems to be no other solution except the nuclear power plant.
But the problem is that just in March of this year, Japan's Fukushima nuclear power plant had an accident. Although the Japanese said it was a bit of a surprise after suffering a nuclear bomb, it scared Germany. China's approval of nuclear power plants must have become stricter again. What will happen in the future?
Hard to say.
From a macro perspective, the Northeast does need to solve energy problems. It not only has industrial development needs, but also heating needs. Both of these were originally solved by thermal power stations. The waste heat from power generation enters residents' homes through pipes and is turned into heating. But thermal power stations
It seems like an eyesore, so we need to use other power generation methods. From the perspective of environmental protection and emission reduction, the only way is clean energy.
Clean energy, whether hydropower or photovoltaic, cannot solve the needs of power generation and heating at the same time, which means that energy investment in the Northeast has to be doubled. In addition, hydropower stations are limited by ice in the Northeast in winter, and photovoltaics are also limited by snow in winter.
, only nuclear energy is the most suitable.
Thinking of this, Wang Ai nodded: "Dad, you are right to consider it, but this matter is too big, even for our company. It depends on other industries and whether the local government can apply."
Wang Bin shook his head: "I'll ask the leader another day when he's free, and let him give you some pointers on how we can do this in the future. As far as our company is concerned, upgrading is definitely something the country would like to see, but it's difficult to upgrade.
It is also a reality. We do not ask the country to look at us differently, but this is considered a legitimate reason, right?"
"Otherwise, we should think of ways to use new energy sources?" Wang Ai asked: "In fact, snow affecting power generation, or temperature differences leading to insufficient lifespan can still be solved through technological breakthroughs. When this product is used on a large scale, the cost will also increase.
It will come down. I heard that the photovoltaic industry in the south, which has been developing rapidly in the past few years, is in crisis. Dad, do you think we can lend a hand and start a new energy company by the way?"
Wang Bin looked at his son: "How come we, a toilet paper seller, are engaged in new energy? In order to make our own toilet paper, we have to generate electricity? In order to generate electricity, we have to research power generation technology. In order to research power generation technology, we have to buy electricity."
A power generation company...why do I think this is ridiculous?"
Wang Ai rolled his eyes: "You were thinking about buying land in Russia just now, and you also wanted to build a nuclear power plant in the country."
"Why are you so happy?" At this time, Ai Xiaoqing came from the room: "The child just went to bed."
"This guy taught me a lesson." Wang Bin pointed at Wang Ai: "He told me about backward production capacity, and then combined it with the country's development reality, development needs, international trends, and the laws of globalization. Finally, we got
We came to the conclusion that we have to buy a photovoltaic company."
Ai Xiaoqing was very confused when he heard this: "What is all this?"
Wang Bin said simply: "The energy issue in the Northeast is a big problem. We cannot do without the Northeast. Even if we leave, the problem will still exist. So from a long-term perspective, we need to make arrangements for the energy issue."
"Photovoltaic... is not easy to do in the Northeast." Ai Xiaoqing, who is in charge of agriculture, culture and sports, and finance, has not failed to consider this issue.
"But the Northeastern countries cannot be ignored." Wang Bin shook his head: "Since it is necessary, it must develop, so this problem must be solved sooner or later. We should start early while there is still time. The focus is on scientific and technological research and development to break through the problems brought by the Northeastern environment.
There are no restrictions, so we have intellectual property rights in hand. In the future, new energy will definitely develop by leaps and bounds. We have this, which is beneficial to ourselves, the Northeast, and the country."
Hearing this, Wang Ai interjected: "Are there enough funds? In recent years, sanitary napkins have been involved in price wars in order to seize the market."
"Well, there will definitely not be anything available over there for the time being." Speaking of this, Wang Bin sighed: "It sounds like we are becoming more and more like a public welfare enterprise. In fact, if it were not to solve the large labor force in the textile industry, we would not need to intervene in this matter.
The market. Originally, there were some fragmented small factories in China competing with large foreign factories. When we came in, there were all competitors inside and outside. If our papermaking side had not had abundant cash flow, we might not have been able to withstand it.
"
"We can first buy a small factory and take over a batch of existing photovoltaic technologies. Anyway, we still need to invest in research and development ourselves in the future. It doesn't matter how big or small it is, as long as the technical foundation is sufficient." Ai Xiaoqing analyzed: "In this case, there is no need to do it.
If you make a lot of money, as long as you have a talented team, you can do it smoothly. Once the sanitary napkin business can generate profits normally, you can let go."
"Does the future investment fund at home have any investment in this area?" Wang Ai reminded.
This reminder worked, and Ai Xiaoqing suddenly nodded: "Don't say it, it does exist, but it's not big. I invested in it because it looked good at first, but then it didn't develop well. It was considered a failed investment. The shares
I didn’t withdraw it either.”
"Isn't that good?" Wang Ai spread his hands and said, "The other party is also feeling uncomfortable. We might as well take over directly."
Ai Xiaoqing thought for a moment: "Okay, I'll take care of this later."
"Just now my dad was talking about public welfare enterprises, and it suddenly reminded me, are there many disabled people in our company?"
"Some of them are usually arranged by the civil affairs department. What's wrong?"
