Chapter 832
European and American countries have always had a technological blockade on the inland. Even in the 21st century, when the inland economy has risen and all aspects have been vigorously developed, this blockade has not changed at all.
Especially in many high-tech fields, European and American countries, led by the United States, are strictly guarding the inland areas.
Siemens is definitely a world leader in the power and electrical field, and its technology is world-class.
As a result, if Siemens wants to exchange technology for the market, even if Siemens is willing, Germany will not dare to agree easily due to the regulations of European and American countries.
What's more, Germany was not yet unified at this time.
At the end of World War II, the Soviet army captured Berlin. According to the Yalta Treaty, Germany was divided into two countries, East Germany and West Germany. Berlin, the capital, was even divided into two, with a Berlin Wall in the middle, dividing the entire Berlin in half.
East Germany is now run by the Soviet Union and implements a socialist system that is integrated with the Soviet Union.
West Germany, on the other hand, is run by the United States and Britain and implements a capitalist system of Western unity.
Although Siemens has made outstanding achievements in the field of electronics and electrical, as a national enterprise that even controls the country in the hands of others, how dare Siemens violate the rules set by the United States.
Fortunately, the technological blockade of European and American countries only targets the inland areas, such as Xiangjiang and Wanwan, two relatively special areas. The technological blockade of European and American countries is not so strict.
From the fact that Taiwan was able to produce the most advanced semiconductors in later generations, it is not difficult to see that European and American countries were still very open to some Asian countries and regions during this period.
Based on this, Yang Chen came up with the idea of establishing a joint venture with Siemens to cultivate a group of technical employees of his own through the cooperation.
Of course, he doesn't think that by cooperating with Siemens, he can obtain the other party's complete technology.
The cooperation with Siemens is just to cultivate a group of qualified basic technical personnel. As for more high-end technologies, we will wait until the polar bear falls in the future before going north to dig people.
At that time, as long as you had money and the mind to dig, you could get any technical talent you needed.
In later generations, Russia relied on the capital left over from the former Soviet Union, and after decades of suffering, it was still able to go head-to-head with the U.S. imperialists. Its huge military and technological heritage, and the number of various types of technical personnel were second only to the U.S. empire, a superpower.
As long as you wield your hoe well, there is no corner that cannot be dug down.
There are not many other things like polar bears. Talents in the field of military science and technology. In this period, even the US imperialism may not be able to win steadily.
The only huge difference between the two is probably in the economic field. If there were no problems with the polar bear economy, future American imperialism would not be so arrogant, and there would be no problem at all if the Cold War lasted for more than half a century.
In later generations, Yang Chen had read a lot of novels. As for the mysterious Vantaa Project in the United States (I don’t know if it really existed), Yang Chen didn’t have the guts to go to Lao Maozi’s house to steal money.
Americans act like hooligans because they have the capital to act like hooligans. He is an ordinary person with small arms and legs. No matter how rich he is, he can only carry a head on his two shoulders.
Waving banknotes, going to people's homes to dig out some unnecessary technical talents and saving some food for them, the old man may turn a blind eye.
But if you go to steal money from someone else's house, you are really just looking for death by eating arsenic.
Fighting people don't just drink vodka. They like to fight with others when they are drunk. Their vengeful mentality is very powerful.
Lao Maozi always likes to fight tooth for tooth and blood for blood. Once they take notice of him, he may not even know how he died.
If you have a life to make money, you must have a life to spend money.
Don't get involved in evil ways.
Making real money honestly is the way to go.
Soon, Yang Chen met with the person in charge of Siemens on the construction site, but what made him regretful was that the person in charge was not a senior executive, and his status in Siemens was not high. He wanted to cooperate with Siemens.
There is no way to talk about things with the other party.
Think about it, although the three phases of the Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company's project are not small, they won't be that big if they are built separately.
As a global company, Siemens has a large amount of projects in various countries and regions every year. It is impossible to arrange senior managers to be responsible for project construction in every place.
Therefore, Yang Chen didn't say anything else to the person in charge, he just asked them to convey his intentions for him.
As the most famous and youngest Chinese richest man in Asia today, Yang Chen's rise has attracted the attention of many people, and more people are also very optimistic about his future development.
For such a person who intends to cooperate with the company, the person in charge of Siemens is naturally very happy and is willing to help him convey his intention to the head office.
Looking at the tower dozens of meters high above his head, Yang Chen asked: "Mr. Sikov, I wonder if the construction speed of the first phase of the power plant can be accelerated?"
Sikov asked: "Does Mr. Yang want the power plant to be put into use as soon as possible?"
Yang Chen nodded and said: "Yes, I hope the first phase of the project will be completed as soon as possible."
Sikov thought for a while and said: "There is no problem in meeting the construction deadline. We just need to apply to the head office for additional manpower. If Mr. Yang is anxious, the first phase of construction can be completed by the end of next year at the latest."
After speaking, Sikov couldn't help but said: "Mr. Yang, I wonder if the construction progress of the second phase of the project also needs to be accelerated after the completion of the first phase?"
Yang Chen shook his head and said: "In the second phase of construction, I plan to cancel the number of coal-burning machines and replace them all with gas-fired engines."
"Oh?" When Sikov heard this, he glanced at Yang Chen in surprise, hesitated for a while, and said, "Why does Mr. Yang want to cancel coal-fired power generation? You must know that there is not much natural gas in Asia."
"Mainly due to environmental considerations, Mr. Sikoff should know that our power plant on Ap Lei Chau was forced to re-build a power plant on Lamma Island because of environmental pollution problems.
Although Lamma Island is much far away from Xiangjiang Island, it is still in the territorial waters of Xiangjiang after all. If the environmental pollution problem is not solved now, it must be solved in the future.
Rather than spending a lot of time and money to solve the problem of pollution emissions in the future, it is better to switch to gas power generation now, which is an energy source with less environmental pollution. This will be more conducive to the future development of Xiangjiang Electric Light.
Moreover, as far as I know, gas-fired power plants occupy a much smaller area than coal-fired power plants, generally only half that of coal-fired power plants, and their water consumption is also smaller, less than one-third of that of coal-fired power plants."
"At the same time, gas-fired power plants will not have construction wastewater, waste slag discharge, material plant land occupation and many other problems."
