Chapter 349 Cooperation 2
When Boss Li heard this a bit of awesome words from Liu Jianji, he seemed to be taken for granted and smiled without saying a word. Duke couldn't help but glance at Cai Siqiang. Both of them had some shock and excitement in their eyes. Even the military bosses couldn't understand the way, but the Superman family was confident, which was a little too outrageous.
But since this sentence is said from a person like Liu Jianji, Duke certainly knows that the other party will never be aimless and bluff. People of their level pay special attention to spitting and having a nail, especially in such occasions, the most taboo is to speak without trust.
"Since that's the case, we do have a good foundation for cooperation." Faced with this sudden opportunity, Duke certainly would not let it go easily. Although he may make more concessions in terms of interests in cooperation with a giant like the Li family, he may make more concessions in terms of interests, but compared to the fact that he cannot enter the country at all, even making appropriate concessions is very cost-effective. After all, if you want to make money, it is essential to be qualified to enter the game first.
"I just don't know if Mr. Li has a general idea of a cooperation plan?" Duke continued, "To be honest, this matter is too sudden for us, and we have never thought about this cooperation method at all." Duke's words were true. In just three days, Duke did not deliberately think about what the Li family meant.
He came to meet the boss of the Li family with the idea that there must be a road before he arrived at the mountain. Relatively speaking, Duke's mentality was relatively relaxed and he had no special expectations.
After hearing Duke said this, Liu Jianji turned his head and looked at his big boss, ready to continue talking. It seemed that he was responsible for the specific matters of cooperation, and Boss Li was the person in charge of making the decision. Boss Li saw Liu Jianji looking at him with inquiring eyes, and then smiled and nodded slightly to indicate that he would lead the negotiations below.
After seeing the boss' approval, Liu Jianji said, "That's right. The power industry is good at expanding and operating the power generation market, but in terms of power station power generation technology, we invest a lot in scientific research, so there is no big technical accumulation. Usually, our operation method is that once a power supply agreement is negotiated with a certain country or region, the construction of the power station will be entrusted to a third party to build it, and then handed it over to our company in full as a turnkey method."
"This is the development and operation method of conventional power stations. Generally speaking, these traditional power generation technologies are very mature and have sufficient choices in the market, so they are relatively transparent in price and there is no particularly large threshold in technology. What tests is the expansion ability of the power industry market rather than technical ability.
However, nuclear power operations are completely different. First of all, nuclear raw materials are a relatively sensitive material, with strict international control and difficult to obtain. On the other hand, the operation and maintenance technical threshold is also relatively high. According to our company's current technical accumulation, frankly speaking, we do not have the ability to operate nuclear power plants.
Therefore, in terms of cooperation, our preliminary concept is like this: the qualifications and market expansion in nuclear power production, construction and operation, including terminal sales of electricity, are undertaken by the power industry, while the development of nuclear power technology, construction of nuclear power plants, and operation and maintenance of nuclear power plants are undertaken by SAL.
This is a general division of labor in business. Of course, there are many details of the acceptance that are not so easy to distinguish clearly. If a cooperation intention is reached, we can discuss these in detail and make reasonable allocations based on the idea of winning the money.
As for the distribution of interests, we consider there are two main ways. One is that we pay the Lotus Reactor nuclear power plant construction fee and operation and maintenance service fee to SAL according to market prices; the other is that the Electric Energy Industry and SAL establish a joint venture nuclear energy management company to share this power energy supply market together.”
Liu Jianji expounded their general ideas in one breath, and it can be seen that they have worked hard to study this plan and is indeed quite feasible. He basically considered the advantages and disadvantages and interests of both parties. Putting aside the specific share and price, this very sincere attitude towards cooperation alone made Duke and Cai Siqiang excited.
Although the Li family is a bit suspicious about picking peaches when discussing cooperation at this time, the conditions offered by the other party are worth the price of picking peaches. When doing things, large families usually do not care about details, but pay more attention to grasping the general trend. Although Duke has unique technology and little money, it lacks deep political and business resources and market expansion capabilities.
The field of infrastructure such as power supply is subject to regulation in many countries, and it is definitely not something that can be entered with money. Therefore, Liu Jianji uses the Li family’s strong resources to find reciprocal cooperation with Duke, and he is indeed qualified to use this.
Cai Siqiang glanced at Duke and knew that he had made a move at this time.
"We will consider Mr. Liu's suggestions carefully. Technically speaking, we are very confident in the Lotus Reactor. According to the experimental operation over the past period of time, there is no doubt that this is the most advanced and safest nuclear reactor today, with high operating efficiency. Therefore, relatively speaking, we hope to cooperate in depth with Mr. Li to develop the large market for nuclear power energy supply.
According to our current situation, due to the adoption of new nuclear reaction catalysis technology, the risk of nuclear reaction safety is greatly eliminated. The commercial construction cost of Lotus Reactor is likely to be less than US$1,000 per kilowatt, which is even lower than the thermal power construction cost. The efficient uranium utilization rate and highly intelligent management system have greatly reduced the later operation and maintenance costs, and the power generation cost per kilowatt-hour will be less than 1.5 cents.
In contrast, due to the introduction of new regulations to reduce thermal power pollution in the United States in the past few years, coupled with the repeated rise in power coal, the power generation operation cost of thermal power has been further increased. Now the average cost of thermal power generation exceeds 6 cents per kilowatt-hour.
Judging from the current purchase price of the US electricity supply market, the average price is between 9 cents and 10 cents per kilowatt-hour. If the lotus pile can be put into commercial operation, its profit margin will be several times that of thermal power.
Judging from the information I have, each household in developed countries in Europe and the United States has a good monthly electricity consumption capacity. For example, the average monthly electricity expenditure of American households last year was more than US$100, while there are about 110 million households in the United States, with an annual electricity supply market size exceeding US$150 billion.
The US market is just a microcosm of the global market, so the market size and potential of power supply are very large. If we can cooperate with Mr. Li to enter these markets, we will surely make a lot of money with our high-quality and efficient Lotus Reactor nuclear power."
