Fang Xinwu, who stayed in Taunggyi for three days, drove to Heihe Town on the west side with his two younger brothers.
Vehicles passing through Ruiniang Town must pass through a highway bridge. However, the highway bridge at this time has been occupied by construction vehicles. They can only follow the guidance of the internal guards and go two kilometers south to pass a temporary pontoon bridge.
Fang Xinwu saw outside the car window that not far from the north side of Ruiniang Bridge, a large construction site was under construction.
He stopped the car and found that a dam was under construction, and the river channel on the south side of the bridge, near a mountainous area, was also under construction.
These two construction sites are the Shwe Niang Town Hydropower Station and the Energy Storage Reservoir Project. For the Shan State Plateau in the floodplain, their hydropower potential is very large.
The abundant local water energy is mainly caused by the local topography and climate.
The Shan State Plateau and the middle and lower reaches of the Irrawaddy River plain, the Irrawaddy River estuary delta plain, and the Salween River estuary delta plain have formed obvious terrain differences. Only with terrain differences can there be potential for hydropower generation.
Hongsawady has a typical tropical monsoon climate, with very abundant rainfall every year.
The combination of the two creates huge hydropower potential in the Shan State Plateau.
The hydropower station and energy storage reservoir in Ruiniang Town is one of the projects invested by Eastern Water Energy Company, a subsidiary of Qingye Group.
This hydropower station is not large in scale. The designed installed capacity is 200 megawatts, while the installed capacity of the energy storage reservoir is 80 megawatts. It is an ordinary medium-sized hydropower station.
The Eastern Water Energy Company is not too ambitious. Although the water energy potential of Hongshawadi can fully meet the needs of a power station similar to the Three Gorges Dam, the problem is that the investment is too large, the construction period is too long, and there are too many uncertainties.
After all, Qingye Electric Co., Ltd. currently needs to import 72% of its core components from China, and the localization of components has a long way to go.
If large-scale hydropower stations are directly launched, the profits will definitely be those companies that can manufacture large-scale hydraulic turbines. Aoba Electric Co., Ltd. will not be able to supply hydroelectric generators of this level in a short time.
Therefore, there are currently dozens of hydropower stations invested and constructed, of which 13 are medium-sized hydropower stations and 27 are small hydropower stations.
Aoba Electric can take advantage of the construction of these hydropower stations and find ways to develop localized equipment while importing spare parts and assembling them.
As for power grid equipment, Hongsawady does not have the foundation to develop power supply network, so it adopts the principle of nearby power supply to reduce the construction cost of laying long-distance power grids on a large scale.
For example, the Taunggyi area currently relies on several other old small hydropower stations, the Ruiniang Town Hydropower Station under construction, and the Taunggyi Thermal Power Plant under preparation as the main power supply here in the future.
Fang Xinwu observed that the hydropower station dam in Ruiniang Town was very tall and secretly guessed at its investment cost. He was very curious about the capital chain of Qingye Group.
After all, Qingye Group is currently carrying out construction projects all over Hongsawady, and its investment scale seems indeed very large.
But in fact, many people do not know the internal operation mode of Qingye Group.
If we look at the behavior of Qingye Group in terms of ordinary commercial companies, we are undoubtedly seeing the leopard inside the pipe.
At this time, the Ruiniang Town Hydropower Station and energy storage reservoir are under construction, with a total investment of only about US$11 million.
This cost is difficult to achieve in China, which is the king of infrastructure cost-effectiveness. The unit cost of medium-sized hydropower stations in China is about 6 to 7 million yuan per megawatt.
Qingye Group can achieve this cost. On the one hand, labor costs are extremely low and construction land is almost free. On the other hand, engineering and building materials are all directly produced. Except for some parts of power generation equipment, there is no other
Cost.
As for the capital chain issue, this is actually a common misunderstanding.
There is no money in Hongsawady, but the warlords, landowners and big families in Hongsawady are not poor.
After taking over their assets, Qingye Group not only obtained a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, but also a large amount of cash and secret deposits. These cash were not kyats like waste paper, but US knives, euros, and Swiss francs.
, Huayuan and the like.
Among them, the cash converted into U.S. dollars is about 32.3 billion U.S. dollars, while the deposits in various secret accounts abroad also amount to 27.7 billion U.S. dollars.
Ordinary people in Hongsawady are indeed poor, but those warlords and big families are extremely rich.
After all, over the years, two to three million tons of rice have been exported every year, as well as a large amount of precious wood, jade, and rubies, as well as the flour and black money from the Golden Triangle. In recent years, tolls from the oil and gas pipeline have been added, as well as various minerals sold at low prices.
resource.
If these guys had no money, then Li Qingye would doubt whether the Hongsawady branch was lining his own pockets.
In other words, Qingye Group has obtained US$60 billion in cash flow, a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry and fixed assets just by squeezing out the oil and water from these scum.
If we don’t spend these dollars and other cash now, how can we keep it for the New Year?
Anyway, recently, Qingye Group and various vests in the Hongsawady branch have been investing in construction and purchasing machinery and production lines from abroad.
Compared with the blood-sucking investment projects in other regions, the actual investment cost of an investment of 100 million is less than 10 million.
The Qingye Group's all-pervasive soldiers and surveillance system, plus the Spider Web managers, basically have no idea of lining their own pockets. After all, there is no need.
Therefore, for the same investment amount, the industrial scale of Qingye Group's investment projects is several times that of foreign countries.
This is clearly reflected at the Ruiniang Town Hydropower Station.
Fang Xinwu felt that there was a problem with Qingye Group's capital chain, but in fact there was no problem.
What's more, Hongsawady's tax revenue is actually part of the Qingye Group's income.
This is the scary thing about giant companies. Their internal economic cycle is enough to maintain the good operation of the entire industrial system and continue to increase their own assets.
Nowadays, we import production lines, machines, and products from outside just to speed up the improvement of the internal industrial chain.
From the perspective of giant enterprises, as long as a region completes its transformation into a truly giant enterprise, there will basically be no economic development problems in this region.
The giant companies referred to here are giant companies that are at least close to a complete form.
This is not the case with today's trust-level giants or Concern-level giants, which are not yet complete enough and have too many redundant vested interests within them.
Only when an enterprise is large enough, has a complete industrial chain, has a completely controllable area, and only has a few vested interests within it, can it be qualified to call itself a giant enterprise.
Many people think that Samsung Consortium is just a giant company.
In fact, the Samsung Consortium is just a marionette of Wall Street financial groups. How can a company that does not even have the right to make decisions have the qualifications to be called a giant company?
The current Qingye Group, and the Homo sapiens company behind it, can barely be considered a quasi-giant company.
Fang Xinwu did not stop in Ruiniang Town, but quickly headed to Heihe Town.
Along the road, in addition to dense vegetation, there are also construction vehicles passing between it from time to time.
The development of Hongsawadi, supported by huge funds and a strong system, seems to give Fang Xinwu a feeling that the world is changing.
He didn't know whether this change was good or bad, but at least compared to the previous warlord regime, the people were in dire straits, so it wasn't actually much worse.
It is already in a trough. Apart from rotting in the trough, all other directions are progress.
