Zhang Jun had only heard Chen Sansheng talk about the solar energy industry. He didn't know what the sand industry was, so he asked. Lu Yunshan immediately talked to Zhang Jun about the prospects of the sand industry.
The sand industry, simply put, is to turn deserts and Gobis into economic growth points. For example, sand can be used to produce glass, ceramics, cement, and industrial raw materials such as semiconductor materials can be extracted from sand.
You can also develop desert tourism, support high-tech desert agriculture, use sand to make permeable materials, casting sand, construction sand, etc.
All in all, it is to turn deserts into treasures and find business opportunities from them. This can not only solve local economic development problems, but also provide a large number of jobs, control deserts and prevent desertification in the northwest region.
After listening to Lu Yunshan's introduction, Zhang Jun's eyes lit up and he said: "This is a good idea, but the amount of work is too large, and I'm afraid it won't produce benefits in the short term."
Lu Yunshan hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhang, the sand industry is beneficial to the present day, but its contribution will be eternal! I hope you can help the northwest and the people of the northwest!"
This hat is big enough. Even if Zhang Jun is a philanthropist, it is impossible to make a decision all at once. Lu Yunshan also has no hope. He just does his best and obeys fate. If Zhang Jun really disagrees, he has no choice but to wait for the country
I put money in it.
Zhang Jun smiled and said: "I am very interested in this matter. I would like to know how much the total investment is."
Lu Yunshan suddenly became excited and said excitedly: "No more, no more, because the sand industry needs to be carried out step by step, and the initial investment is only a billion. However, in the later period, additional investment will be needed, but it will not be too much, because the entire industry chain has already
It takes shape slowly.”
Zhang Jun smiled "hehe": "Okay, Tianxing Group is willing to do this."
At this point, he thought to himself: "This is the second thing I want to do, and there is still one more thing to do."
Chen Sansheng was naturally happy, but he was still worried about Zhang Jun: "Brother, after investing in solar energy, do you still have sufficient funds?"
Zhang Jun laughed "haha": "The companies under the Tianxing Group have gone public and made a lot of money. Funds are not a problem. However, we are not familiar with the sand industry. I hope Academician Lu can provide more guidance."
"No problem!" Lu Yunshan said immediately, "I can serve you for free without getting paid."
"Haha, in that case, others will say that our Tianxing Group exploits intellectuals. Let's do this. We will give Academician Lu an annual salary of one million, and if the sand industry develops, there will be bonuses."
Lu Yunshan was surprised and happy at the same time. After all, money is a good thing. After a little refusal, he accepted.
Immediately, Chen Sansheng talked about the solar power plant and said: "The site selection of the power plant has been completed. It covers an area of 500 square kilometers and can build 200 large power plants with a maximum power generation of 20 million kilowatts and an annual power generation of up to
Fifty billion degrees.”
Lu Yunshan further explained: "Since we want to build 200 large-scale solar power plants, the raw materials can be purchased or even produced by ourselves, which can greatly reduce costs."
Zhang Jun thought about it. He wanted to build a 6,000-square-kilometer mechanical city, and electric energy was the first priority. He asked Xiaoqiang that the peak electricity consumption of the mechanical city was more than one million kilowatt hours.
Such a large amount of electricity cannot be provided locally, and a power plant must be built. This large solar power plant in the northwest has a power generation of up to 20 million kilowatts, which is completely sufficient.
In addition, Tianxing Group is actually involved in the photovoltaic industry, and this industry is currently very hot. If this company can be allowed to take over this project, its stock will soar to the sky immediately, and there will be money to build a power plant.
Seeing this, he asked: "How much investment is needed for such a large solar power plant?"
"The construction cost is about 80 billion US dollars, which is planned based on the procurement cost. If we build it ourselves, the cost will be about 30% more." Lu Yunshan said.
Zhang Jun smiled slightly: "Okay, our Tianxing Group has taken over this job." Then he asked Chen Sansheng, "Brother, the country has not opened up the electricity sector to the outside world. We are engaged in power generation. Is it okay?"
Chen Sansheng said: "I have considered this. Several provinces in the northwest will take shares. Of course, we don't have much money, so we can only invest a small amount symbolically. The total of these provinces is about 20%."
Zhang Jun nodded: "Okay, I will ask someone to follow up on this matter as soon as possible and let the solar power plant start early."
After talking about the power plant, Zhang Jun felt that both the sand industry and the solar energy industry were good news for the Machinery City, so he took the opportunity to bring it up.
When he heard that Zhang Jun wanted such a large piece of land, covering 6,000 square kilometers, Chen Sansheng was startled and asked in surprise: "Brother, what do you want so much land for?"
Zhang Jun smiled "hehe": "Brother also knows that Tianxing Computer Company is researching artificial intelligence, so he wants to set up a research and development base."
"Then there's no need for so much land, right?" Chen Sansheng couldn't figure it out, but he didn't refuse, and mused, "There are a lot of Gobi deserts in the northwest, so getting land is not a problem. But for such a big thing, we must ask for instructions from above."
"That's no problem." Zhang Jun said. He had a good relationship with several elders. Although there was a bit of estrangement between them after what happened last time, they would still give him some face.
"Okay, as long as the higher-ups approve it, it will be easy for me to handle." Chen Sansheng was very straightforward. Naturally, he would fully support Zhang Jun's matter without any ambiguity.
Zhang Jun smiled slightly and thought that solar energy was the third thing he wanted to do. So far, the three things were to reform the Fugui Gang, develop the sand industry, and invest in the solar energy industry.
Three things, each one is more difficult than the last. Reforming the Fugui Gang is not something that happens overnight, and it cannot be effective within a few years. The sand industry has many difficulties to overcome, and it is difficult to see results without three to five years.
The solar energy industry is even bigger. Zhang Jun estimated that even if it were done at full capacity, it would take ten or eight years. Moreover, these things require a lot of capital investment.
After reaching an agreement with Chen Sansheng, Zhang Jun handed over the remaining matters to Ge Xiaoxian and Lin Xian and the others. He had a drink with Chen Sansheng in the evening and returned home that day.
As soon as he came back, he received a message from Xiaoqiang, asking him to go to the computer room immediately. In the computer room, everything was quiet, and a set of pictures was being played on the big screen.
Zhang Jun saw that the picture was from the Tianxing Computer Research Center in Kyoto, where the great genius Jing Lianshan was conducting a set of tests.
Seeing this scene, he felt something in his heart and asked, "Xiaoqiang, has Jing Lianshan made another breakthrough?"
On the screen next to him, Xiaoqiang appeared as a little Taoist priest. His expression was very excited and he said: "He really succeeded! Although it can only run for a hundred hours, all the technologies have been very perfect!"
Zhang Jun asked curiously: "Xiaoqiang, how does this newly developed machine by Jing Lianshan compare to your current body?"
"It's much better." Xiaoqiang said excitedly. "The computing speed is not as good as mine, but that's just a matter of scale. Its advantage is that it consumes very little power and is extremely precise internally. It's really much better than me."
Zhang Jun touched his chin and said: "It's only a hundred hours, it's too short."
Xiaoqiang said: "Boss, one hundred hours is not a problem at all, as long as the boss takes action."
Zhang Jun thought for a while and asked: "Do you think it is necessary to change your body now?"
"Yes." Xiao Qiang said, "I have been in contact with super viruses a few more times. I feel that they are more powerful and I need to evolve."
"No problem." Zhang Jun picked up the phone and called Jing Lianshan directly.
Jing Lianshan was debugging the machine when his cell phone rang. He said happily: "Mr. Zhang, our research has made a major breakthrough!"
"Haha, congratulations to you Lianshan, I have received the news. I have a question to ask you, what is the current computing speed of this prototype?"
"About one billion billion times per second." Jing Lianshan said, "If the biological core is not too fragile, the speed can be increased by more than ten times."
"Lianshan, what is the maximum computing speed you can build for such a machine?" he asked again.
"Oh, the theoretical value can reach 3.8*10', which is 3.8 trillion billion times. But such a machine is difficult to make and consumes a lot of power. Even if it can be done, it will take about three years. The most important thing is
Yes, we don’t have that much money to do it.”
Zhang Jun said: "Money is not a problem, I hope you can make one."
Jing Lianshan was very surprised: "Why? There is absolutely no need for us to do this."
Zhang Jun said: "This is customized by the state."
Jing Lianshan said nothing and agreed. He had ready-made technology and it was only a matter of time before he could make the machine. There was no reason to refuse.
After talking to Jing Lianshan, Zhang Jun asked Xiaoqiang: "This Jing Lianshan is really a genius."
Xiaoqiang: "He is indeed very powerful. His mind can be divided into nine parts. He is like a smart computer."
Later, Zhang Jun told the construction plan of the Machinery City. When Xiaoqiang heard that there were power plants and raw material processing plants around the Machinery City, he suddenly became excited: "Great! What the Machinery City lacks most is electricity and raw materials. As long as these two are abundant,
, the project can proceed smoothly.”
Speaking of this, Xiao Qiang said: "Boss, I recently issued an electronic currency worth about 100 billion US dollars in the name of Shennong Bank."
Zhang Jun was startled and asked seriously: "Issuing electronic currency? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
Xiaoqiang said innocently: "Why bother the boss with this little thing?"
Zhang Jun snorted: "Issuing world currency is the prerogative of the New Sing Federal Reserve. If you do this, you are robbing its job. Do you think they will let you succeed?"
Xiaoqiang hummed a few times and said, "Unless everyone in the world doesn't use the Internet, they can't do anything to me."
Zhang Jun frowned, he didn't want to conflict with those overseas plutocrats now, and was about to persuade Xiaoqiang to stop, when he suddenly thought: "I have already done the three things I wanted to do, and there are still three things I don't want to do, let's count this as one.
"
With this in mind, he said: "You can issue electronic money, but you can't do it in the name of Shennong Bank."
