Volume 2 Weird Place Chapter 44 Super Manor (2)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The two major shareholders of United Technologies Corporation have discussed the super estate project many times, but the attitudes of the two parties are not consistent. However, Li Zhuang insists that Da Mian doesn't care, so it was decided. However, Da Mian still often doubts Li Zhuang's true thoughts and asks  Ask east and west.

    "Have you really decided to become the owner of the manor in the desert?"

    "Of course, don't you think this place is very nice? Or is it for other reasons?"

    "The location you chose is not good enough. Although it is close to Broome, there is no need to choose the location nearby just to be paranoid. There are many deserts in Australia. If you want to be a manor owner, there are many places with better conditions than the Great Sandy Desert. Australia is vast.  Neither ordinary people nor the government care about the sparsely populated and not-so-good land, and environmental groups and related bored people care less about it.¡±

    "I have made up my mind to become a super manor owner, and this can only be achieved in the desert."

    The conditions in the desert are very bad. When Li Zhuang first arrived in Australia, there were basically no cities or villages along the more than 500 kilometers of Highway 1 from Port Hedland to Broome.  The harsh natural conditions deter people who want to enjoy the scenery along the Indian Ocean coast for a long time. Otherwise, everyone would not live together in southeastern Australia, although the conditions are very good compared to those in China.

    Only environmentalists are worried about seawater desalination projects. Ordinary people and the government welcome them. It is rare for a private organization to be willing to invest in such a project. Usually the government and relevant departments are the main funders. After all, the investment recovery period of this kind of project is very long.  Western Australia has a small population and underdeveloped industry. Few private organizations have thought of making money from sensitive water resources here. The most they can do is build desalination plants around Perth.

    After the on-site inspection, the super estate project team determined the specific location and conducted a bidding design according to the requirements. The design fee given was also very high, 100 million US dollars.  Architectural design is only carried out on a small scale, and urban planning requirements are very high.  Li Zhuang does not want to tinker with things like in China in the future. Although public servants have different ideas, he is not stupid enough to make his own money and pay taxes to Canberra and Perth.

    Wanting to do the best, Wu Wg directly contacted the industry giant French Veolia Group, and the design goal was a daily processing capacity of 400,000 tons.  Due to the global economic downturn, Veolia Group was eager to obtain this project and quoted US$450 million. Later, after seeing the desalination semipermeable membrane developed by Wesson Technology, it wanted to purchase the patent for exclusive production, and the quote was changed to US$400 million.

    Li Zhuang agreed to the quotation, but requested that half of the project be changed to solar evaporation design.  Veolia Group feels that the solar evaporation and desalination method is not very mature. Although the sunshine near La Grange is strong, it is not easy to develop an automated system. It tactfully suggested that it be carried out according to the original design.  Li Zhuang insisted, so they didn't bother him anymore. The contract was there anyway, and it was not their responsibility even if the production targets were not met in the future.

    Solar energy is a kind of green energy, but human use of solar energy is still in its infancy. It mainly includes solar heat collection, solar hot water systems, solar greenhouses, solar power generation, etc.

    The New Energy Laboratory has been conducting research on solar energy since the framework was set up. Currently, it has a full complement of professionals, and its core is solar power generation, mainly concentrating solar power plants, not batteries.  Strictly speaking, solar cells are not green energy. During their life cycle, the output is lower than the input, and the production process of solar panels causes a lot of pollution.  The solar water heater industry is oversupplied and there is no room.  The solar water heater team undertook several small orders, which could not even support themselves. The reason why this small project team was retained was mainly to prepare for the super estate.

    The energy density of solar energy is very low, the energy density at sea level is about 1kw

    Square meters, common technology conversion efficiency is not high.  Of course there are high-end products, mainly used in special fields.  The solar energy project team has conducted detailed research and is well versed in the technological development of the industry.  The location of the super estate has strong sunshine, less rain and fog, and strong winds. Solar and wind power generation have the potential to become the main energy system, but they are too expensive.  The super estate project team decided to focus on clean coal-fired power plants for heating and gas supply in the early stage.

    The power sources used in daily life mainly come from thermal power, hydropower and nuclear power. All three power supply units have defects.  Thermal power plants are easy to get approval, but there is water shortage here and there are no nuclear power plants in Australia. When He Xiuwen heard the plan, the first thing he thought of was a concentrated solar power plant.  Military micro-concentrated solar cells are kept secret, but civilian concentrated solar technology is easy to find. The disadvantages are long construction time and large investment.  The investment is big, so the super estate project team contacted relevant companies in Citi and successfully reached an agreement to start construction within three months.

    The Civilian Concentrated Technology New Energy Laboratory has sufficient capabilities to develop its own research and development, and He Xiuwen has always been interested in micro-concentrated solar cells for military use.  That thing is an ultra-efficient solar cell developed by a university in Citi for the Pentagon. If it can be enlarged, the requirements for materials and processing technology can be greatly reduced, and the construction can be dispersed in multiple areas.??Solar power plants help improve the stability of the power grid.  In addition, this concentrated solar cell can greatly improve the endurance of electric vehicles.  Tian Xinmin is in contact with the other party and is not sure whether the negotiation can be concluded.

    Ordinary people only focus on solar power plants and seawater desalination projects, while ore suppliers are eyeing the business opportunities that suddenly come to their doorsteps, and proactively contact the super estate project team to express their willingness to help design steel plants and logistics systems.

    Port Hedland is too far away to keep secrets, so expanding Port LaGrange is an inevitable choice.  The super estate project team plans to build a company-specific terminal southwest of La Grange Port. This matter needs to be negotiated with the management of La Grange Port and the local area. However, it is not a problem to negotiate, and the price to be paid will not be high.

    The location of the steel plant was determined to be near Highway 1 south of La Grange. Because it would affect the environment of Broome Town, the Steel Plant Preparatory Office carefully considered the wind direction and pollutant diffusion issues, and successfully obtained approval from the local government and council.  Ordinary people did not object after the company presented detailed environmental protection instructions, and focused more on desalination plants and power generation projects, which they would directly benefit from.

    The core of the first phase of the super estate is Sunway Town. After thorough inspection, it was determined to be between La Grange and Broome. The planned area is 200 square kilometers and will become a living, education and research area.  In the early stage, the project team lived in Broome and LaGrange according to the work objectives. After Sunway Town was formed, they moved to Sunway Town.

    In terms of desert control, coastal water desalination plants and power plant output lines will be treated within five kilometers on both sides.  Around the steel plant, with the iron and steel-making furnace as the center, a greening radius of 30 kilometers is implemented, and residential areas are established in the upwind areas.  A four-lane highway and a three-track high-speed railway will be built along the north side of the steel plant in the direction of the Fitzroy River, deep into the desert. Two tracks will be used for round trips and one for maintenance.  Ten kilometers on both sides of the highway and railway are reconstruction areas.

    The main manor in the desert is initially determined to be 10,000 square kilometers and is located on the right side of Sunway Town. After the renovation is completed, Sunway Town will be upgraded to Sunway City.  A top planning agency will be hired for systematic planning, and exploration-related matters will be handled by the company's professional team. Preliminary construction will be carried out after determining key factors such as groundwater resources, minerals, geological environment, and climate.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    Important guests cannot be neglected, and no one of Bloom¡¯s leading figures is left behind.  After a while of greetings, the landlords left. Da Mian asked someone to take the project team members out for fun while he discussed with Li Zhuang.

    "We have initially calculated the cost of the renovation and estimate that it will not be completed within twenty years. Do you really decide to continue?"

    Li Zhuang chuckled lightly, "Traveling such a long distance in such a hot day must continue. The early projects are all close to the sea, so it won't cost much."

    Da Mian gritted his teeth and said, "At least more than 50 billion US dollars. With the company's current profitability, it is far from enough."

    Li Zhuang shook his head, "Ten billion US dollars is enough for infrastructure construction. The key points in the early stage are ports, desalination plants, and power plants, and then it is Sunway Town's turn. As long as Sunway Town begins to take shape, the land sales revenue from the industrial zone will be enough."  We support subsequent transformations, so don¡¯t worry.¡±

    Da Mian sighed, "Wesson Technology's equity system is complicated, and the one in Perth is also a little complicated now. I don't know if it can be controlled. In addition, the company management does not agree to invest too much money in the super estate plan."

    Li Zhuang said seriously: "Strictly speaking, Super Manor is a brand-new joint-stock company, not a joint venture between Wesson Technology and United Technologies. The major shareholders are you and me, and there are hundreds of small shareholders. I am the only one within Wesson Technology.  We have found more than 500 small investors, and there are hundreds of related households in K City Industrial Zone and other related households, so it is easy to raise 10 billion US dollars in ten years.¡±

    Da Mian was stunned, "Really? Yes, the company pays dividends every year. The shareholders have the final say where to invest the money. If they want to join the super estate, no one else can stop it."

    Li Zhuang said: "Although the initial investment is large, once Sunway Town is completed, United Technologies will have a unique territory. We have the final say on our territory, which is far from being comparable to being nestled in K City or Perth. We can recruit massive amounts of people."  researchers, build a super-scale factory, and receive research orders that are a hundred times more than the current number.¡±

    Da Mian thoughtfully said, "Maybe we can get a governor, right?"

    Li Zhuang laughed, "There are so few people in Western Australia, even being the governor is meaningless. What does the governor mean? Maybe he can sit in the position of prime minister."

    Da Mian couldn't help but shook his head, "It's too far away. I have no interest in politics, and you have no interest in it. Let's talk about practical matters. How do you choose the English name of Sunway Town? You seem to have only chosen a Chinese name. Broome people  Now it¡¯s called dual-w, or d.w.¡±

    Li Zhuang scratched his head, "How about??This name is quite good.  "

    Da Mian laughed and said, "You can use it if you want, I don't care."

    Li Zhuang slapped his thigh and said, "It's called dual-w, or d.w. for short, and Sunway Materials Co., Ltd. is called dual-wmateial, or dwm for short."

    Da Mian was a little excited, "If Sunway Town is upgraded to a city in the future, it will be called DWC."

    Li Zhuang shook his head repeatedly, "No, call it dwt, town."

    "Why? Bah, bah, it can't be called dwc, it can only be called dwt, that's it, dwt."

    The two of them laughed together and stopped after a while.  Da Mian said: "I will handle the early coordination work, but regardless of Dr. Wu's ability, the Chinese workers who come here must not conflict with the local residents, otherwise things will be difficult to handle and some people will be convinced."

    Li Zhuang chuckled lightly, "Dr. Wu is a very interesting person with great abilities. If the two sides merge in the future, I am ready to transfer him to the joint dispatch center as the vice president-level director."

    Da Mian pondered for a moment, "Since you are so confident, I feel relieved. Oh, that's it for today, I have to rest, it's too hot. Before I met you, I never thought that I would be with others when I grow old.  go Ape."

    After the big fat man finished speaking, he walked away in a hurry. The guy who could never gain weight was speechless and secretly rejoiced. He pulled a blanket and lay on the sofa. He soon fell asleep and was woken up by someone.

    Da Mian was speechless, "I went into the room to call the management and told them my idea. Unexpectedly, a lot of people were interested. The phone calls kept coming and I couldn't sleep. They all asked for details."

    Li Zhuang yawned, took out his mobile phone and sent the details, "You can read it yourself, I want to sleep."

    Da Mian started researching in a huff, and then another phone call came. Soon he encountered a problem, which once again woke up the sleeping guy.

    "Don't sleep, let's discuss it together. From now on, it seems that the super estate may be realized."

    Li Zhuang rubbed his hazy eyes, got up and went to the bathroom to wash his face, and then began to explain the details.  Da Mian listened with his ears pricked up, interjecting a few words from time to time, going back and forth, and it was dinner time.  Da Mian stopped and took him to have dinner. The two of them chatted while eating.

    After finally getting over his interested father-in-law, Li Zhuang received another call from Zhou Qisen, "I decided to join, but the premise is that you must arrange my shares according to the treatment of the original shareholders."

    Li Zhuang immediately responded, "There is no room for discussion on matters of principle, otherwise other shareholders will have opinions. Don't blame me for not telling you. Hundreds of people in Perth have just expressed interest."

    The other end of the phone hesitated for a while, "I can also accept the second batch."

    Li Zhuang snorted, "The third batch at most. Let me tell you, the later it is, the more trouble it will be."

    Zhou Qisen said in a deep voice: "If you can put me in the second batch, I will help you convince the others."

    Li Zhuang laughed loudly, "No need to talk about it, the third batch, only the third batch, you can make up your own mind."

    Zhou Qisen¡¯s frustration was palpable, ¡°The third batch will be the third batch, it¡¯s better than the fourth or fifth batch. nnd, I¡¯m actually prepared to go crazy with you. I would have thought it was a fantasy half a month ago.¡±

    The CEO was defeated at the hands of the legal representative. He felt very humiliated and hung up the phone without even saying goodbye.

    Li Zhuang danced for a while, then looked up to the sky and laughed, "Small, when it comes to gambling, people like you are no match for me. I'm determined to be the second one."

    ¡­¡­

    There are many strange and strange creatures in the Dasha Desert. The national treasure is very interested in them and has specially collected some. We also plan to let the Ecological Balance and Species Project Laboratory protect these creatures and do some research.

    Li Zhuang doesn¡¯t understand biology and has little interest in it. During his time in Australia, he mainly negotiated with Wu Wg, his boss, and government departments.  Although Dr. Wu is comfortable at Wesson Technology and is very capable, Zhang Kai's excellence has left him with a lot less room to perform.  After arriving in Broome this time, he liked it very much and settled down in Broome.

    Wu wg is good at handling the relationship between the company and government departments, and his reliability has been verified.  The infrastructure construction of Weisen Science and Technology Park has been basically completed, and the follow-up work is not complicated.  Infrastructure Department Manager Wang Feng and deputy Ji Qingfeng were of little use. This time, with their consent, they were transferred to the super estate project team.

    With Wu Wg and Wang Feng watching and assisting, nothing can be solved in the early stage.  Li Zhuang was relieved and set off back to China in early August.  There are many trivial matters in the country. Although the employees perform their own duties and Zhou Qisen's abilities are excellent, there are many experts in the company, so he must make decisions on some things.  The structure of the Hunan Army has advantages and disadvantages. There are some things that Zhou Qisen cannot handle and cannot even intervene in.

    The development of Weisen Technology is accelerating and changing with each passing day. The internal atmosphere is relaxed, benefits are good, and cohesion is improving step by step.  Very few people are leaving their jobs, and there are a lot of people outside who are desperately trying to squeeze in.??, the company's employees have a sense of crisis and study every day for fear of being eliminated.  The high-level joint meeting operates normally, and the core staff meeting effectively limits the arbitrary actions of the top management. Company management basically does not need to worry about legal representatives.  Even within the intelligent production laboratory, Li Zongyang, the executive deputy director contributed by the Hangcheng Gang, has excellent management skills and can keep things under control.  Among manager-level supervisors, there is no problem with Betiange's safety, but there is no problem with Miao Xingyan.  Song Jize will have no problem. Except for Wesson Technology, no place can give him such a large space.  Cen Qishi is very principled, and the city is not deep. His wife also works in the company, so the couple will not do anything outrageous.

    Lizhuang is already busy enough, there is no need to be busy anymore.  Money is important, but no matter how important it is, it is not as important as longevity.  It was a relaxing journey back to the office, not forgetting to have a drink on the way.

    Unexpectedly, just after leaving the airport, Wang Feng called, "Zhuangzi, we are in big trouble."
