Privately, after so many days of negotiations, Zhang Fan finally reached an important agreement with Rockefeller.
Rockefeller's American Philanthropic Power Company officially reached an agreement with Zhang's Power Group.
FIA Electric Power Company introduced stratospheric power stations. The quoted price of each group of power stations is US$500 million.
In fact, this price is not cheap, because the daily power generation capacity of a stratospheric power station is only 1 billion kilowatt hours.
This is incomparable to large power stations. And this US$500 million also includes the construction work on the ground.
Although the cost is not cheap, don't forget that this thing has almost no cost. There is no cost to generate electricity, and there are very few ground staff.
In the United States, there are a large number of places suitable for deploying power stations. Wherever the land is vast and sparsely populated, large-scale solar power stations can be deployed in the suburbs.
The Rockefeller family's first investment amounted to US$50 billion. 100 stratospheric power stations were deployed in the United States.
There are 100 stratospheric power stations with an annual power generation capacity of 10 billion kilowatt-hours. According to current electricity prices in the United States, these power stations can bring in profits of US$800 million per year.
Calculated based on this price, it will take a long time to make a profit. But the calculation cannot be done like this. The first order is a qualification.
In the future, no other company in the United States will be able to obtain authorization for stratospheric power stations. In other words, Rockefeller has a monopoly, and the price of power stations will become lower and lower in the future.
At that time, it will be the time to truly make a profit. Relying on the advantages of solar power stations, as long as they are operated properly, they can completely monopolize electricity just like they did when they monopolized oil.
However, for the sake of technical confidentiality, the Zhang Group also has requirements for the stratospheric power station. That is, the Zhang Group is completely responsible for the operation.
Unless a major failure occurs, the Stratospheric Power Station will not land. Even if it lands, no one else is allowed to approach it, and the Zhang Group must be responsible.
All of this is for the purpose of keeping the super photovoltaic film secret. Although it would be difficult for the United States to develop a sample in a short time even if it obtained a sample, Zhang Fan still did this in order to keep the technology secret for a longer period of time.
This is also the reason why they only sell power stations and not photovoltaic films. But even so, it is difficult to prevent them from obtaining samples, but they cannot obtain them on a large scale.
All power stations are under surveillance. The power stations are built by private parties and then fly directly there under their own power.
Apart from Rockefeller, the largest order still comes from China. However, in China there is another way of cooperation, between Zhang Electric Power and China Electric Power.
This cooperation is a super project to build a super solar power station in western China.
In western China, there is a large area of ​​uninhabited land, and it is most suitable to build a solar power station here.
Here, build a super power station, and then transmit the electricity generated here to all parts of China through lines.
China has already had a power transmission network, and the West-East Electricity Transmission has been completed a long time ago. So now they just need to build it and transfer the power to the Huaxia Power Grid.
The power station was built by the Zhang Group, and the electricity generated was sold directly to Huaxia Electric Power, which was sold by Huaxia Electric Power.
In this way, everyone makes a profit, and Huaxia Electric Power can get this power station without paying a penny. There is no need to bear risks, and you must know that those who do sales are the least risky.
The Zhang Group has also made money. It can make more money by investing in power stations than by selling power stations itself, and the profits can last for a long time.
Zhang's Electric Power is also very ambitious. The first step is to launch 1,000 stratospheric power stations in western China. The annual power generation will exceed one trillion degrees, which will account for one-seventh of China's total power generation.
These power stations are divided into sections like a grid, which can generate electricity without affecting the lighting on the ground.
In Africa, the private sector also has its own plans. In Mauritania, the private sector is also preparing to deploy 1,000 stratospheric power stations.
One trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity, based on Africa's current electricity consumption, can fully meet the electricity consumption of the entire Africa.
Make Mauri the power center of Africa. Along the roads, the power here can be transported to various countries.
The private sector is busy, and workers are busy in the huge factory. There are too many orders for power stations. Although the equipment is very advanced, power stations still require a lot of labor in many cases.
The Zhang Group is recruiting workers again, which has attracted many people living in the private sector to sign up. The benefits of becoming a formal employee of the Zhang Group are great.
The number of workers recruited this time was also very large, a total of 20,000 people were recruited. The 20,000 people were divided into different positions. With these people, the speed of building the power station was greatly improved.
At this rate, one power station can be launched every day. But even so, it will take a long time to meet the current orders. After all, the Zhang Group alone is planning to use two thousand power stations.
In Mauritania, the Zhang Group is everywhere. Large-scale infrastructure construction has begun again.
This time the construction is mainly focused on roads. The construction model of this road is the same as the latest maglev railway model built in China.
The top layer is the expressway, then the integrated pipe gallery, the freight channel, and then the underground railway. However, this railway is not a high-speed maglev, or even a high-speed rail.
It is the latest type of heavy rail, but it is indeed the private standard. The private train has developed its own. The express train is not only comfortable, but also reaches a speed of 220 kilometers per hour.
This train is not as fast as the high-speed train, but it has a large passenger capacity. At the same time, the freight capacity is relatively large. When a faster train is needed in the future, you can just change the track and change the train. There is no need to rebuild the roadbed or anything.
For some things, the more advanced the technology, the better. The more advanced the technology, the faster it will be made and the higher the operating cost will be.
In Africa, such high fares are simply unusable. There is a market for low fares. In the future, when Africa's economy develops, other issues will be considered.
The newly built industrial park is very busy during this period. With the completion of the construction of the industrial park, a large number of employees entered the park for training.
At the same time, various factories have been constructed in the park and the production lines have been debugged.
In addition to a large number of female workers from Mauritania, the employees here also have a large number of workers recruited from China.
These workers are all recruited from all over China. These employees are not highly educated and they all work in factories in China, but they are skilled workers.
The most important thing is that almost all of these people are single. Many are in their thirties and have not yet found a wife.
When I came to Maoli this time, the wages were actually not much higher than those in China. But one attractive condition was that there were many female workers in the factory. Although they were black, they had whitening agents, which made these employees very excited.
