Chapter 1077

Electricity!

Lin Feng never thought that what bothered him to reach an agreement with South Africa this time would be electricity, a common thing in the 21st century. Whether in China, Europe or the more developed United States, electricity has already penetrated into all aspects of society, and people have long been used to living with electricity. It's no exaggeration to say that many young people even don't know where the electricity comes from. They just know to plug the plugs of those electrical appliances into those sockets, and those electrical appliances can start to use. As for where the electricity comes from, they don't know, and they don't need to know. As long as you know, you can use it!

Because of the convenience of electricity, Lin Feng forgot that in Africa, what he lacked most was electricity. In today's 21st century, without electricity, there is really nothing. After all, everything invented is driven by electricity.

How to make South Africa and even Africa have electricity is an extremely confusing problem. Even so many African countries can't solve it. Lin Feng doesn't think he can.

The whole room was lost in thought. Everyone frowned and fell into a dilemma, not knowing how to solve the problem.

"Brother Meng, how does our base supply power?" Asked Lin Feng.

"Xiaolin, this base is close to Cape Town, and we have paid a security payment to Cape Town power service company, so they absolutely guarantee the power consumption of our base. But even so, there is a power outage for less than half of the year. But if there is a power failure, our base also has generators to generate electricity. " Wang Meng said.

Lin Feng shook his head helplessly. In South Africa, even in cities like Cape Town, even if they pay the security payment, they still have a short and half-time power outage, as you can imagine in other parts of Africa.

"Xiao Lin, can I use a generator?" Wang Meng suggested.

"No! It won't work. " In the video conference, Abby Cohen flatly denied Wang Meng's proposal.

"Africa is too big, there are too many villages. If all of them are powered by generators, the cost of gasoline alone is a huge amount, which the villagers in Africa can't afford. Even if it is affordable, I am afraid it will attract the salivation of many illegal organizations. After all, gasoline is today's black gold. " Abby Cohen analysis said.

Wang Meng nodded. Indeed, in Africa, if a village has too much oil, it is absolutely coveted by some illegal armed forces. It is even more obvious in Africa that everyone is innocent and guilty.

Moreover, if so many villages want to buy Generators, the cost is absolutely expensive. If the South African government is allowed to bear the cost, I'm afraid the South African government will be very painful and may not be able to take it out.

"Boss, if you can build a nuclear power plant in South Africa, it's a good choice. Africa is short of electricity. If you can build nuclear power plants, you can not only provide electricity for Africa and make money for the company, but also solve the problem of power shortage. But the trouble is that it will take at least three to five years to build a nuclear power plant, apart from technical problems. In terms of time, it's not enough! " Abby - Ken said, he denied his proposal.

Lin Feng was also helpless. It's really not easy to solve.

"But Lin, you can start planning for a nuclear power plant right now. Now the best nuclear power utilization technology in the world is in France. It's just that you have a good relationship with France at present, and it's not difficult to obtain the technology in this respect. " Abby Cohen suggested.

Lin Feng is a little speechless. It's really speechless that Abby Cohen proposed to build his own nuclear power plant before his problems are solved. Of course, this proposal is good. If it can be built in Africa, it will be of great help to our future development in Africa. Think about it. In Africa, a country with extreme shortcomings, if you can provide a lot of electricity, you will undoubtedly be in charge of Africa's economic lifeline. Because in today's society, nothing can be done without electricity.

"Xiaolin, it's very difficult. You know, in Africa, apart from the lack of nuclear power plant construction technology, what's more troublesome is that many illegal armed forces will intercept electricity without permission, and even threaten the power plant to pay protection fees, otherwise they will damage power facilities. In addition to these illegal armed forces, there are also a large number of villagers, some of whom will only intercept electricity, and the worst will directly cut off the power lines and sell them for money! " Wang sighed.

Lin Feng was speechless. It's really frustrating. But think about it. It's not for so many reasons. I'm afraid Africa has been developed for a long time, and it won't be his turn.

Africa's poverty seems to be due to poverty, low education and lack of electricity. But in fact, Africa's poverty originates from many aspects, and the combination of these aspects eventually leads to Africa's poverty. Because of poverty, people can find their own way out, which eventually leads to the vicious circle.

Wang Meng saw a burst of frustration, thought about it, a smile.

"We don't have to be so depressed. In fact, as long as there are certain armed forces in Africa, we don't have to worry about these. On the contrary, relying on the armed forces can completely deter those illegal armed forces. As for the villagers, it is not totally unreasonable. As long as they are not forced to survive, they will not steal and sell those cables. What's more, many villages also have a lot of potential wealth. After all, there are many minerals in Africa, but there are no access roads in many places, and there are not enough armed forces to transport them out safely. " Wang Meng said.

When they heard this, they all looked excited.

"However, this requires our boss to continue to increase the investment in the 'wolf tooth' security company." Wang Meng said, "there are a lot of minerals in Africa. As long as we have enough armed forces, we can transport them out and convert them into US dollars. I believe that the return of these minerals far exceeds our investment. "

Lin Feng nodded.

"Brother Meng, how much more money does that need?" Asked Lin Feng.

Wang Meng pondered a little.

"Xiaolin, if you want to deter these illegal armed forces, you need a lot of elite. In this regard, the strength of the current "Langya" security company is enough. It only needs a little more manpower. The key problem is to send people to patrol along some power facilities. Otherwise, it will not be able to stop the retaliatory sabotage of illegal armed forces and the stealing of lines by villagers, which will require a lot of manpower. Together, I'm afraid the annual investment is about 400 million US dollars. At present, the company's annual profit is about 20 million US dollars, that is, the boss needs to allocate about 380 million US dollars a year! " Wang Meng said word by word.

The crowd took a breath. It's a staggering $380 million a year.

Lin Feng was not surprised. After all, if you want to support an army, you are definitely burning money. Lin Feng has long been aware of burning money. And in terms of their own wealth, paying $380 million a year is nothing! Its "second consortia" can bring itself at least billions of dollars in revenue a year, and paying 380 million is absolutely nothing.

What's more, there is no return without investment. Once rich mineral resources are found in Africa, it can be said that the input-output ratio is definitely more than ten times.

"Brother Meng, OK, it's no problem. I'll allocate money tomorrow! " Lin Feng nodded.

"In this case, Lin, the construction of the nuclear power plant will be carried out at the same time. You go to Mandela to get the qualification to build a nuclear power plant in South Africa, and then you go to France to buy nuclear power plant technology. I believe neither of these is difficult for you. The only trouble is uranium. I suggest you buy the ownership of a uranium mine. In the future, with the progress of global modernization, the demand for nuclear power plants will be greater and greater, but the uranium deposits on the earth are limited, and the price of uranium deposits will certainly rise sharply in the future. Why don't we buy ahead of time! " Abby Cohen said.

Lin Feng nodded and ordered Lin Zhiling to record all this.

"Wait a minute, everyone. My problem now is how to solve the power problem in the shortest time. These are long-term things. We can't develop without three or five years. After three or five years, it will be late! " Lin Feng said suddenly.

Indeed, what Wang Meng and Abby Cohen said just now is very exciting and worth developing. If everything goes well, Lin Feng can even become the king of Africa. But now Lin Feng wants to solve the power problem in South Africa, and then sell computers to South Africa, and then sell computers to all of Africa through South Africa. Finally, let Africa get used to using "second world" system software, and finally use it to compete with Asia Unicom, so that its operating system can compete with "Microsoft", Finally, the "second Consortium" will become a global super consortium integrating PC hardware production, operating system development and application software service providers.

However, the premise is that power must be supplied to South Africa. Otherwise, everything will be in vain.

People, you look at me, I look at you, suddenly silent. This problem is really a headache. People have no way to solve it.

Electricity! Electricity! Electricity!

Now there are several ways to generate electricity, nuclear power, fossil fuel power, hydropower, wind power, and solar energy.

solar energy! Lin Feng thought about it and shook his head. Solar energy is not bad. With the annual sunshine in Africa, solar energy is the cleanest and most suitable energy. But solar panels are cheap. Can those villages afford them? I can't afford it! If it is provided by the South African government, it will absolutely crush the South African government's finance. The amount of money needed is astronomical.

Lin Feng shakes his head when he thinks about it. The South African government can't stand it, not to mention itself. That will definitely crush you. So Lin Feng rejected it for the first time. But now how to think, how to feel that there is only one way to go solar energy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think there is only one way to go now, but farmers in Africa can't afford solar panels. So we have to figure out a way to make these villagers in Africa can afford solar panels! " Lin Feng said.

When people think about it carefully, it is true that there is only solar energy. Nuclear energy is not available at present. It will take time. Fossil fuels not only pollute and consume a lot, but also easily cause the salivation of illegal armed forces around. At the same time, fossil fuels are not so cheap. As for hydropower, it can't be popularized, so can wind power. Only solar energy is very suitable for Africa, a country near the equator.

How can African villagers afford solar panels—— Everyone was in a state of agony.

The problem now is that the villagers in Africa are very poor and have no money to buy solar panels. If they want to be able to afford it, they can only make money. But they don't have any skills, how do they make money? The South African government also has a headache. When people think about it, they feel more headache. If they can solve the problem, the South African government can let Lin Fenglai take charge.

Silence! Silence! Silence!

After thinking about it for a long time, people couldn't understand it and didn't know what to do.

"By the way, Xiao Lin, I have a suggestion. There are many Chinese construction companies in Africa. Some of them are supported by the state plan for Africa, and some are private construction companies. We can contact them and the South African government to jointly build roads in South Africa. We can build the road with the South African government's joint investment. According to the investment, we can have the right to use the road (similar to toll stations charging for passing cars). The Chinese construction company will undertake the construction. They can give some preferential treatment, and then the villagers will sell their labor to earn money and buy solar panels. In this way, part of the problem can be solved! " Wang Meng suggested.

Lin Feng thought carefully. It's a good idea. If the four sides cooperate, they can get what they need. Of course, Lin Feng is the one who benefits the most. Because of the construction of roads, Lin Feng can not only let me have the right to use roads, but also let those villagers have money to buy solar panels, use computers, and become users of their own company. At the same time, with roads, if they find minerals, they can also transport them out.

More with one stone!

But this can only solve part of the problem, not all of it.

"Lin, I have a proposal. Do you know about outsourcing? " Abby Cohen said.

Lin Feng nodded. Lin Feng knows that. With the development of the Internet and global economic integration, many companies now outsource their business to other places where labor is cheaper, which can not only reduce costs, but also reduce risks. Now the largest outsourcing base in the world is India.

"Lin, we can also contract some outsourcing services to African villagers. For example, to input books, you can arrange two people to input the same group of words, and finally select them through the text comparison and error correction software. In this way, there is no need for text input personnel to have any relevant knowledge. They don't need to understand English or any language. They just need a little training to be able to recognize 26 keyboard letters. " Abby Cohen said.

When Lin Feng heard about it, he was very happy. If so, it would be great. In this way, a lot of employment can be solved. And South Africa is competitive enough because of its low labor costs.

"Also, boss, I have a proposal. In my opinion, a militia team composed entirely of local people can be formed to maintain the safety of villages and facilities along the road." Kevin Mitnick said suddenly.

"Didn't wang just say that he wanted to set up an ordinary army to maintain order and security of facilities? I don't think it's necessary to recruit people from China, just local people. They are not only not demanding, but also familiar with the terrain, and they are more interested in protecting their property than anyone else. " Kevin Mitnick said.

Wang Meng nodded. If so, the annual investment will be much less. This can also be said to increase employment to a certain extent.

"Yes, these three are very good. If they can be fully implemented, I believe they will bring a lot of jobs to South Africa, but they are not enough!" Lin Feng said word by word.

"I also have a proposal to vigorously develop local products in Africa. Only by bringing African local products to the world can we bring the greatest changes to Africa and truly improve its life. " Lin Feng said.

Abby Cohen nodded, and that would be great. If this is the case in the end, Lin Feng may become a hero in Africa. At that time, the benefits that Lin Feng can reap will also be amazing. We need to know that Africa has too many minerals, too many resources buried underground. If we can obtain these resources, forest wind can control the future.

However, when Lin Feng saw Wang Meng and others, he found that people's eyes of the "wolf tooth" security company were a little different.

"What's the matter, brother Meng?" Asked Lin Feng.

Wang Meng frowned and thought about it. He decided to question Lin Feng face to face.

"Xiao Lin, although you help Africa for your company, why don't you help the country more. You know, our country is still a developing country. We are still very poor. We need the help of many people with lofty ideals like you. " Wang Meng said.

When Lin Feng heard this, he suddenly realized. No wonder Wang Meng and others have a strange look in their eyes. It turns out that they blame themselves for helping other countries. They all say that water and fat do not flow to outsiders, but they give all the benefits to Africa. After all, if the plan can be implemented in the end, South Africa will definitely benefit a lot.

"Brother Meng, you have to understand that if you want to kill pigs, you must fatten them. What's more, with the global economic integration, if Africa can develop, then they will have more money to buy high-quality and cheap Chinese goods in the world. If they don't have money, no matter how cheap or how good the quality of Chinese goods is, it's useless. " Lin Feng said.

Wang Meng is not that kind of stupid indignant youth, stupid nationalist. After hearing what Lin Feng said, Wang Meng said no more.

"Lin, now there's another question. Are you going to produce the solar panels yourself, or do you want someone to work for you?" Asked Abby Cohen.

"In this way, we ask the best solar cell manufacturers in the world, who has the best quality and the lowest price, we will choose them. If it is feasible, we will acquire it and become a subsidiary of our "second consortium." Lin Feng said.

If we produce by ourselves, we will invest too much capital and manpower and have no experience. If you simply find someone to work for, then the lifeline is completely in the hands of others. Therefore, the best and simplest way is to acquire the best solar cell company, which directly owns the technology and market of the other party.

Well, it seems that we can meet Mandela again this time—— Lin Feng once again made an appointment with Mandela, the father of Africa（ To be continued, if you want to know the future, please log in www.qidian.com , more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading!)
