The profitability of the transmission network is directly related to the transmission capacity, that is, the power generation scale of the upstream power stations and power plants.
A very critical point here is that although the price of municipal electricity of the Draculamo Electric Power Group is as high as 0.3 US dollars, it will never agree to accept the connection of the Lonta power grid at this price.
When the time comes to sit down for negotiations, it is conservatively estimated that the negotiated electricity price for access to the Dracula Mo backbone network should be around US$0.2 per degree, but it can be higher if a more reliable and stronger relationship can be found.
At this time, even if the upstream power plant supplies power with zero profit, considering that the electric energy will still produce nearly 15-20% loss between the transmission grid, based on this calculation, it will almost require an annual power supply scale of at least 30 million kilowatt-hours, which requires a huge investment.
The transmission network built with a large amount of investment has barely reached breakeven. Of course, the huge investment required for the construction of the transmission network is still very small compared to the construction of upstream power stations.
And even if the Gray Crow River Hydropower Station is completed, plus the surplus power generation capacity of Sika Aidet Electric Power Company, the total annual power transmission scale will only be 26 to 7 million kWh at most.
Theoretically, Cao Mo needs to build a third hydropower station with an annual power generation capacity of about 12 million to 15 million kilowatt-hours on a tributary upstream of the Lujiaochuan River, and provide zero-profit power supply, so that the transmission grid will have a certain degree of profitability.
, and have some appeal to investors.
However, considering the upstream power stations, the power plants must also have a certain profit margin, and the annual power supply scale needs to be at least 60 million kWh.
To be honest, the hydropower potential in the upper reaches of the Lukaku River is huge. After the hydropower station group is built, the annual power supply can reach 500-600 million kilowatt-hours. With the gold-absorbing capacity of cement plants and gold mines, the annual power supply can exceed 100 million kilowatt-hours in two years.
There are no problems with the hydropower station group.
In China, there is absolutely no problem in first improving the construction of the transmission network, and then gradually expanding upstream power generation capacity and improving the profitability of the power grid.
Even in any normal country with stable political situation, most investors need to regard transmission grid construction as a long-term investment.
However, the political situation in Kanem has been unstable in the past few decades. It has only been three years since the democratically elected government came to power. Its domestic security is chaotic. This is destined that the vast majority of investors in Kanem do not have the qualifications or dare not own it.
Long-term development plans are all about making quick money.
This also determines that the scale of the upstream hydropower station group should not be too small at the beginning, so that it can be truly attractive and attract the big guys from Draculamo to actively participate in the construction of the transmission network.
"The trust funds in my name currently have accumulated 4.5 million US dollars. I can entrust Amo to be my entrusted executor and use all the funds to build hydropower stations..." Stari said.
"Are you so rich?" Abacha said in surprise, "I thought you were rich enough to have three to five million US dollars in your name!"
In order to relieve the pressure on his hands, little Tubman did not hesitate to sell the Tubman crushing plant to Dongsheng in exchange for more than one million US dollars in cash for squandering. How could he have thought that Stali still had 450 US dollars on hand?
Thousands of dollars in private trust funds!
You must know that in Kanem, four and a half million US dollars is not a small amount of money.
Of course, Stari affectionately called Cao Mo "Amo", which made him feel sour in his heart, and he felt that the blow to his forehead was a pain in the ass for Cao Mo.
"My father had cooperated with the Guidam family to invest in Riya Casino during his lifetime. Although in the end, my father's shares in Riya Casino were taken away by the Guidam family, and the casino could not continue to operate. Even my father's death was somewhat unclear.
It’s not for nothing, but my father was a very good poker player when he was young. He used the few years of running a casino to secretly transfer three million US dollars in funds, and also secretly opened a trust account in my name at the United Bank of Oman.
.Also because of the guard against the Jidam family, even my brother currently does not know the existence of this trust fund - United Bank of Oman is a very trustworthy international financial institution. You don't have to worry about their confidentiality in protecting customer privacy.
Is there something missing?" Starlie said.
To be honest, Cao Mo knew very little about the intricate relationships among the upper echelons of Draculamore. He had not been exposed to that level before, but he did not expect that the Tubman family and the Jidam family had a deep relationship before.
Although Abacha and Tubman Jr. were classmates at Oyo State College, they had little contact after graduation and were not aware of this situation.
At this time, Cao Mo understood:
It turns out that the Tubman family and the Guidam family have long been closely connected, and Baja has long coveted Starlee's beauty; Starlee's proficiency in Texas Hold'em poker should also be attributed to her father.
Little Tubman should have always been within the sight of the Giddam family and Yan Zhicheng. It can even be said that using part of the facilities of the Lana Del Rey Hotel to open a casino was an idea that Yan Zhicheng and the Giddam family behind him had long ago.
Both Xie Sipeng and him were probably taken advantage of.
Thinking of this, Cao Mo couldn't help but sigh that little Tubman was really an idiot.
They couldn't figure out that the relationship between Yan Zhicheng and the Jidam family was normal. After all, they couldn't really integrate into the local society of Draculamore. But little Tubman was kept in the dark, which was a bit stupid.
Even when it came to renting out the facilities at the Lana Del Rey Hotel, some investors in the hotel were firmly opposed. Cao Mo didn't want to break the pot and ask the question, but looking back now, it was most likely those investors who were firmly opposed, knowing that Yan Zhicheng
The details of.
It was impossible for these opposing investors not to tell Tubman Jr. the reason. In the end, Tubman Jr. actually actively participated in the preparations for the new Lana Del Rey Beach Casino.
Lee was right to keep the news secret from little Tubman.
It can be seen that Starlie also feels that her brother is unreliable, otherwise the matter will most likely be defeated by little Tubman.
Cao Mo originally planned to start the construction of the first Gray Crow River Hydropower Station as soon as next month, but the third and fourth buildings he planned were also located in the upper reaches of the Gray Crow River, and were considered a group with the first Gray Crow River Hydropower Station.
The terraced hydropower station group has a total annual power generation capacity of approximately 55 million kWh.
However, in Cao Mo's plan, the other two stepped hydropower stations will not be started until the end of the year at the earliest. And this will require Kanem's cement storm to blow for a while.
If the price of cement in Kanem's country drops rapidly, and without the huge profits brought about by the cement storm, we don't know how long it will take to raise funds for the construction of the third and fourth hydropower stations.
Now with Staley's investment of 4.5 million US dollars, he can start the construction of these three stepped hydropower stations in the upper reaches of the Gray Crow River at the same time, which will also increase the power supply to the transmission grid to 60 million US dollars after the year.
degree or above.
Then it will be much easier to convince Draculamo's investors to participate in the construction of the transmission grid - it is simply risk-free arbitrage!
To be honest, Cao Mo didn't expect that Stari still had such a huge sum of money in her hands.
Seeing that Stari was so beautiful and charming, with such a huge amount of wealth in her hands, Cao Mo wanted to tell her: I don't want to work hard anymore! However, looking back and thinking about it, he didn't seem to need Stari to support him...

At Cao Mo's invitation, Ochosan rushed back to Yibogu from Catero.
Lily also returned to the tribe with her father. When she learned what had happened in the past few days, her face turned red with anger:
"The Jidam family is so abominable!"
Whether it is prompting the Felician family to invest in the establishment of a new power grid company, promoting the construction of a transmission grid connected to the Draculamore backbone network, or moving another power grid originally planned to be built by the Felician family electric company in the upper reaches of the Gray Crow River
The construction of the two terraced hydropower stations was transferred to a trust fund privately owned by Stari. Cao Mo had to explain the reasons to the old chief Felician and Ochosan.
Lily was still a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, and she still had a natural sense of justice in her heart, and she was very angry at what happened to Starlie.
Cao Mo sat quietly in the wooden house and looked at Ocho Sang.
After all, the old chief Felician was getting older, and Cao Mo's management in Yibogu was becoming increasingly complicated, and the old chief Felician couldn't figure it out.
At present, Cao Mo and Ochosan discuss matters about the Felician family, and then the old chief Felician nods.
Although Ochosan is also a scholar who cherishes his reputation, he has many more things to consider than his daughter Lily, and he also knows very well how powerful the Guidamu family is.
Lily shouted that Mr. Blake should be asked to report the Jidam family's smuggling, crime, and corruption to President Buhari. Ojosan could only tell her with a wry smile: "In Kanem, local dignitaries above the deputy governor level are elected as soon as they are elected."
Enjoy immunity from corruption investigations from that date - the federal parliament had previously tried to push a bill to extend immunity to all federal members. However, General Manager Buhari strongly opposed it and temporarily suspended it.
.At present, the judiciary of the federal and state governments is relatively independent, and the situation is worrying. If this country wants to change, it cannot be achieved in a day or two..."
Cao Mo had a clear understanding of this a long time ago.
If the police and judicial institutions of Kanem were really clean and efficient, how could the social security of the entire country of Kanem be so chaotic?
He could see Ochosan's hesitation, but he calmly mentioned some of his ideas on forming a new power grid company.
The most critical point is that in order to ensure that the construction of the transmission grid has sufficient fundraising appeal, the three Gray Crow River ladder hydropower stations to be built under the leadership of Starley Private Trust and Felician Family Power Company can be combined with the new power grid company
Sign an agreement on electricity supply prices as low as eight cents.
Prior to this, the internal power supply agreement signed between the Ibogu Hydropower Station and the Ibogu Cement Factory was 12 cents per kilowatt hour.
With the price difference of four cents per kilowatt-hour and the annual power generation scale of 5,000 to 55 million kilowatt-hours after the completion of the three Gray Crow River Ladder Hydropower Stations, it is equivalent to the amount of electricity that the Gray Crow River Ladder Hydropower Stations pay to the newly established power grid company every year.
The profit potential is between US$2 million and US$2.22 million.
If the Jidam family hadn't been hanging over his head like a sharp sword, Cao Mo wouldn't have given in such a big step so easily.
Both the Ibogu Hydropower Station and the Gray Crow River Ladder No. 1 Hydropower Station are nominally assets under the name of the Felician Family Electric Power Company, but everyone here knows that the Felician Family Electric Power Company has as much as 95
% of the equity was taken away by Cao Mo in the name of facilities, equipment leasing and technical support, and indefinite entrustment of operations.
The Gray Crow River Ladder Hydropower Station gives up such a large profit space to the New Power Grid Company every year. The Felician family participates in the financing and establishment of the New Power Grid Company. Correspondingly, Cao Mo returns a considerable part of the benefits to the Felician family.
in hand.
Cao Mo and Abacha initially discussed a spin-off plan for a new power grid company.
According to this plan, if the Felician family participates in the equity acquisition of Sika Aidet Electric Power Company and participates in the capital injection of the new power grid company, they can actually take away 25% of the equity of Sika Aidet Natural Gas Power Plant and get
Take a 15% stake in the new power grid company.
Considering that the annual power transmission scale of the New Power Grid Company has reached 60 million kilowatt-hours in the first phase, and there will be greater room for growth in the future, the value of the 15% equity of the New Power Grid Company is definitely not a small number.
After the completion of the new transmission grid, the natural gas thermal power plant of Sika Aidet Electric Power Company will be fully utilized and will return to profitability. The Felician family will obtain 25% of the shares of this natural gas thermal power plant.
Not a small number.
Ochosan pondered for a while and said: "I will go to Benin in two days to attend an academic conference. Miss Stari can go to Benin with me."
Seeing that there was some concern in Stari's beautiful eyes, Cao Mo said to her: "Mr. Ochosan is an upright scholar worthy of our trust. You can ask the head of the United Bank of Oman to meet us in Kadro and sign
After completing the entrustment agreement, you will go directly to Benin with Mr. Ochosan, and then arrange to stay in China to complete your studies..."
Seeing that Cao Mo was so sure, Stari nodded and agreed to go to Kadero first, and then go to Benin with Ochosan...
