After inspecting Zhuzai Mountain for about an hour, they returned.

It was just lunchtime, and Jiang Miao was having lunch with Han Zhengdong and his group in the company cafeteria, a restaurant specially set up to entertain outside guests.

While waiting for the food to be served.

After taking a sip of tea, Jiang Miao made the decision: "Manager Han, if the subsequent exploration results meet the development expectations, this project will be contracted to your company."

"Mr. Jiang is very straightforward. It's a pleasure to work with you!" Han Zhengdong replied quickly. He didn't expect things to be so simple. It's really rare to find such a party A.

Although Jiang Miao was straightforward, it did not mean that he would let things go completely: "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you. I have only one request, that the quality must be guaranteed. A few hundred yuan more per megawatt is acceptable. I will ask a third-party company to supervise and accept the entire project."

Han Zhengdong naturally had no objection to this request: "Mr. Jiang's request is very reasonable, and it is reasonable for a third-party company to supervise and accept it."

"By the way, Manager Han, I have another request. While building the dam, I want to carry out a comprehensive renovation of the reservoir area."

Han Zhengdong instantly got goosebumps all over his body. He felt that he should retract his previous thoughts. Obviously, this was another complicated project with a difficult client.

Jiang Miao, who had prepared early, took a design sketch from Li Zixuan and spread it flat on the dining table.

Looking at the design sketch spread out on the dining table, Han Zhengdong took a closer look and found that this was the topographic map of the coastal mountain area that he had just explored, but there were several locations planned on it.

It includes the Zhuzaishan Reservoir Dam, the Zhuzaishan Reservoir indoor farm, water supply/drainage pipelines, a reserved area for a six-lane coastal highway, and a beach farm.

It even includes the distribution of underwater reefs, the seabed, the seabed mud layer, and the seabed rock layer.

"In other words, your company's plan is to enclose the beach below as well? And then transform it into a large pool?" Han Zhengdong frowned and thought for a while. He reminded:

"Mr. Jiang, if we increase the amount of earth and stone excavated from the mountain, we can indeed expand the reservoir capacity, and then use these stones to fill the sea, but the investment will probably need to reach 40 billion, especially the seawater dam, the cost may be around 20 billion."

"Can such a large investment, just to build a beach aquaculture farm, really recover the cost? Mr. Jiang, I really don't know much about the aquaculture industry."

The beach farm designed by Jiang Miao covers an area of ​​600 acres. It is 2000 meters long, 200 meters wide, with an average water depth of 30 meters and a storage capacity of 1200 million cubic meters.

After the second modification, the storage capacity of Zhuzaishan Reservoir will increase to about 800 million cubic meters.

"Manager Han, our company will not do business at a loss. The reason we built the beach farm below is to make full use of resources. I am definitely investing this to make money."

Faced with the client's insistence, Han Zhengdong chose to let things take their course. After all, it would be a fool not to make money. If there was a loss in the end, it would have nothing to do with the construction company. As long as he received the project payment, he didn't care about the life or death of Hailufeng Company.

"Since Mr. Jiang has made up his mind, I will try my best to arrange for exploration personnel to survey the entire area. If everything goes well, a feasibility report can be produced within three months."

"Then I'll trouble you, Manager Han."

"It's not a big deal. It's all part of my job."

The reason why Jiang Miao planned it this way is to make full use of cooling water. If seawater is pumped directly, secondary cooling will be required.

After all, the water temperature most suitable for salmon growth is 13~18 degrees Celsius.

Therefore cooling water cannot be wasted.

As long as the Zhuzaishan Reservoir and the beach aquaculture farm are completed, the cooling water in them can be circulated between the two places and replaced with fresh seawater regularly, which can greatly save energy.

Moreover, the combined aquaculture water volume of these two places can reach 2000 million cubic meters. Even if only half of it is utilized, 5 to 25 tons of salmon can be produced annually.

The total amount of salmon imported into the country last year was 9.7 tons.

Therefore, as long as the Zhuzaishan farm in Hailufeng is put into operation, the production capacity will be almost the same as the total import volume.

After lunch, Jiang Miao asked the logistics manager Kong Guocai to arrange dormitories and daily meals for the project team of Jianfang Company. After all, the other party would be working in Zhuzaishan for more than a month.

In the afternoon, Jiang Miao immediately convened an internal executive meeting.

Originally this matter should have been handled by Jiang Haibo, but he was on a business trip to southern Jiangxi, so he, as the boss, had to arrange it personally.

In the conference room.

My brother-in-law, Li Xinhua, Fang Yi, Lu Weibin, and Zhang Xinyi are the managers of the business unit. Together with the managers of various departments of the headquarters, everyone sat upright.

Jiang Miao didn't like to waste time in meetings, so he got straight to the point: "The purpose of holding this small meeting today is to gradually adjust the electricity usage hours of the headquarters, factories, breeding farms, and farms. All departments will use electricity during the day, and we should try not to work overtime at night if possible."

Kong Guocai, the logistics manager who spoke first, thought for a moment and said, "It's easy to solve at the headquarters. After all, our company rarely works overtime at night. It's just that the central kitchen needs to work at night. There's nothing we can do about it. Recently, the direct-sale store in Haifeng County opened, and daily production is fully booked."

"At the cannery, the production line can be adjusted. Our night shift only lasts four hours, so we can definitely make adjustments." Li Xinhua also spoke up.

Soon, managers from various business units and departments began to express their opinions one after another.

Jiang Miao asked them to implement the electricity usage adjustments as soon as possible after they returned. Except for the necessary electricity usage at night, all other unnecessary electricity usage should be transferred to the daytime.

Fortunately, farms are relatively easy to adjust, such as irrigation and spraying, which can be adjusted to daytime.

Of course, this kind of adjustment is definitely not made casually. For example, irrigation must not be done at noon in summer, otherwise the soil will become a steam sauna. It must be arranged in the morning and evening.

The feed factory's cold storage is maintained around the clock.

Smart greenhouses also require a certain amount of electricity at night.

Indoor eel farms also need to maintain a certain amount of electricity at night.

However, after adjustments, 80% of the company's electricity consumption is concentrated in the daytime, and the remaining 20% ​​is at night. There are also several lead-carbon battery rooms that can support electricity consumption during the evening.

Currently, the Yancheng Farm has a total of two lead-carbon battery rooms. Each battery room is equipped with 1000 standard lead-carbon batteries of 1 cubic meter. That is, 1000 cubic meters of lead-carbon batteries have a maximum storage capacity of 3.5 kWh, and two of them have a maximum storage capacity of 7 kWh.

The reason for using lead-carbon batteries is mainly for safety reasons.

After all, lithium batteries are too dangerous. Even if Jiang Miao doesn't have to worry about others manipulating the chip and causing it to explode, lithium batteries themselves are not very stable.

Especially for such a large-scale storage room, if lithium batteries are used, once several lithium battery packs spontaneously combust, it is very likely to spread rapidly, causing the entire storage room to be destroyed.

In addition, lithium batteries are very expensive, and their only advantage is their lightweight.

For this kind of fixed battery room, the land used is not valuable in big cities, so cheap and stable lead-carbon batteries are the best choice.

As for the situation where the lead-carbon battery's storage efficiency will be reduced due to low temperature, there is basically no need to worry about it for Magong Town, which is located in the Lingnan region.

In addition, there is no need to worry too much about the service life of lead-carbon batteries. The service life of this type of battery can be extended by replacing sulfuric acid, or you can directly sell the lead-carbon batteries and let the lead-carbon battery factories replace them with new batteries on a one-to-one basis.

This solution of using lead-carbon batteries as storage power stations for solar generator sets is also the latest technology.

Because lead-carbon batteries are safer than traditional lead-acid batteries, have a longer service life, longer energy storage time, lower cost, are more environmentally friendly, and have policy support.

...

Time flies.

Another typhoon day passed by Shantou and the United States.

September 9, the Autumnal Equinox.

After more than a month of construction, one-third of the 350 acres of solar panels at the Yancheng Farm have been installed, and construction of one of the lead-carbon battery storage rooms has also been completed.

However, due to the possibility of a typhoon landing in the surrounding area, work has been suspended for more than a week.

The solar panels that have been installed can already provide power to the factory.

More than 100 acres of installed solar panels can generate nearly 40,000 kWh of electricity during the day. The angle adjustment and peak-shaving system of the solar panels, coupled with a large lead-carbon battery storage room, ensure stable electricity consumption during the day.

In order to adapt to the situation of generating electricity by itself during the day and using grid electricity at night, the company began adjustments in mid-August and has now initially adapted to this electricity usage pattern.

Now the company basically does not need to pay electricity bills. In addition, it also supplies low-cost electricity to the company's employee dormitories, and the company only charges a cost fee of 0.5 yuan per kilowatt-hour.

Of course, this kind of power supply is only limited to Hailufeng Company’s own employee dormitories. If you live in your own house, the company can’t help.

After all, residential electricity use is the business of the power grid, and private enterprises are not qualified to sell electricity to ordinary residents. Providing electricity to employee dormitories requires a reasonable excuse to take advantage of the loophole.

Essentially speaking, employee dormitories are part of the company's assets, and providing accommodation to employees is actually leasing. In this process, charging electricity fees is reasonable and legal.

Jiang Miao also didn't want to have any conflicts with the power grid.

To be precise, the two sides are currently cooperating.

After a month of preliminary exploration, Jianfang Company's project feasibility study team completed the geological exploration of Zhuzaishan Pumped Storage Reservoir and Baisha Floating Aquaculture Farm.

Han Zhengdong found that the mud and rock layers provided by Jiang Miao were very accurate, which greatly shortened the progress of the feasibility study.

Baishafu Beach extends outward about 150 meters. The average depth of the sea water is 5 to 10 meters. The thickness of the seabed mud layer is 13 to 22 meters. Below the mud layer is a very hard basalt formation, which is very suitable as a foundation.

In this way, during the construction process, it is only necessary to surround the dam and then directly use the sand pumping method to pump out the 30-meter depth required for the farm without blasting too much bedrock below.

As for the rock strata of Zhuzaishan Reservoir, after removing 5 to 10 meters of soil and gravel, there is also a large area of ​​basalt bedrock underneath. The problem of seawater leakage in the reservoir can be perfectly solved by simply sealing a few underground springs with concrete.

When the construction company tailored a project feasibility report for Hailufeng Company and was preparing to apply for various procedures.

The president of Nandian Shanmei Branch came to visit.

Inside the reception room of the headquarters.

Du Wenbin, the bespectacled general manager of the Nandian branch, said with a smile, "Boss Jiang, we at Nandian are very optimistic about the Zhuzaishan pumped storage reservoir project you applied for. I wonder if we can have in-depth cooperation?"

"How does Mr. Du want to cooperate?" Jiang Miao also wanted to hear the other party's ideas.

"Our idea is that when your company's project is completed, you will rent a portion of the storage capacity to us for peak shifting and valley filling, at 500 yuan per kilowatt per year." Du Wenbin stated the specific content of the cooperation.

Han Zhengdong whispered in Jiang Miao's ear: "Boss Jiang, this price is also the market price. For example, the capacity electricity price of the Changlongshan Pumped Storage Power Station is 499.96 yuan per kilowatt."

Perhaps worried that Jiang Miao would refuse, Du Wenbin added: "If your company needs electricity, our power grid can give you a preferential price of 0.4 yuan per kilowatt-hour."

"Full-time?" Jiang Miao's eyes lit up.

"Of course." Du Wenbin nodded.

Jiang Miao thought for a while and said, "The designed capacity of our hydropower station is only 250 megawatts. In addition to the part we use, we can probably provide your company with 150 megawatts of capacity. But this is only the current situation. If our company expands in the future, this quota may not be enough."

Hearing Jiang Miao's question, Du Wenbin was prepared: "I understand Mr. Jiang's concerns. How about this! We can sign a clause that stipulates that the capacity lease quota will be adjusted every three years."

"Three years is too long, let's go for two years! Adjust it every two years."

"Okay."

The two sides quickly reached a preliminary memorandum of cooperation.

Hailufeng Company leased 150 megawatts of capacity in the Zhuzaishan pumped storage reservoir project to Nanfang Electric Power Shanmei Branch at a price of 50 yuan per megawatt per year.

This means that if Hailufeng Company does not change its leased capacity, it can receive 7500 million yuan in rent each year.

Of course, this cooperation is also profitable for Nandian. After all, the installed capacity of 150 megawatts, minus the maintenance time of about half a month each year, can be in production for 350 days. Calculated based on 12 hours of power generation per day, it can generate 6.3 million kilowatt-hours of electricity.

The cost of Nanfang Dianzi was 7500 million yuan in rent, plus 8.4 million kWh of electricity, thus obtaining 6.3 million kWh of electricity.

It seems that Nanfang Dian Power suffered a loss of 2.1 million kWh of electricity and 7500 million yuan.

But the accounts cannot be calculated in this way.

Because the on-grid electricity price of photovoltaic and wind power sold to the power grid by power generation companies is generally 0.2 to 0.3 yuan per kilowatt-hour, especially during the day, the price of photovoltaic power is only around 0.19 yuan.

In other words, the 8.4 million kWh of electricity paid by Nandian was priced at about 0.2 yuan per kWh, with a cost of 1.68 million yuan. Adding the rent of 7500 million yuan, the total cost was 2.43 million yuan.

The average electricity price in Lingnan region last year was 0.465 yuan per kilowatt-hour. The electricity generated by pumped-storage reservoirs is generally calculated based on the peak electricity price, which is 0.55 yuan per kilowatt-hour. The 6.3 million kilowatt-hours of electricity are worth 3.63 million yuan.

Excluding costs, the gross profit was 1.2 million yuan.

This is why, as soon as Nandian heard that Hailufeng Company was building a pumped-storage reservoir, it rushed to cooperate.

The reason is that it is profitable.

Sent away the people from Nandian.

Jiang Miaocai and Han Zhengdong discussed the general contracting price of the Zhuzaishan comprehensive project.

A vice president of Jianfang Company came in person, but he only came to sign the contract, and Han Zhengdong was still in charge of the specific details.

"Mr. Jiang, we will discuss the entire project cost in four parts. The first part is the Zhuzaishan pumped storage reservoir. After our company's research, the price quoted is 14.2 billion yuan."

"Go on." Jiang Miao answered while flipping through the construction cost documents provided by the construction company.

"The second part is the Zhuzaishan Reservoir Farm. According to your company's requirements, the overall price is 5.3 million yuan." Han Zhengdong took a sip of mineral water and continued:
"The third part is the Baishafu reclamation farm, which cost 15.6 billion yuan."

"The fourth section is a six-lane asphalt road from Jincheng Bay to Magong Town, with a total length of 6.3 kilometers. The cost of this section is 2.52 million yuan."

"The total of the four parts is 37.62 billion yuan."

Ten minutes later, Jiang Miao closed the project cost report and said, "No problem, let's go with this price."

Hu Guodong, the vice president of Jianfang Company who looked like Maitreya Buddha, could hardly hold back his smile and quickly stood up: "Thank you very much for President Jiang's trust. Our company will definitely complete all projects with guaranteed quality and quantity."

Jiang Miao smiled and reminded: "Although the project period is 42 months, you must ensure the quality. If there is a problem with the quality, it will be bad for everyone."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Jiang, I will send someone to supervise 24 hours a day." Hu Guodong patted his chest and made the promise.

Jiang Miao smiled without saying anything. He would not believe the other party's guarantee. A third-party supervision company must be hired, and the third-party supervision company cannot be asked to do the final acceptance work. The acceptance work must be done by another third-party company.

After both parties signed the contract.

Soon, the first 10% project advance payment was transferred from Shanmei Rural Commercial Bank to the construction company's public account.

The reason why the payment was made from Shanmei Rural Commercial Bank was that for this project, Hailufeng Company chose to take out a loan.

The total loan is 50 billion yuan, with a term of five years and an annual interest rate of 3.4%.

Obviously, Shanmei Rural Commercial Bank has given great preferential treatment for this loan. Generally speaking, the annual interest rate of this kind of construction loan is above 4.3%.

The reason why Hailufeng Company's loan interest rate is so low is that the company has a huge influence in the local area and is very profitable.

There is only one week left in September, and the company has already earned 2.37 million yuan in revenue this month, and it is expected that the revenue this month will exceed 3 million yuan.

Eel fry contributed 90% of the revenue.

This is due to the upgrade and renovation of the indoor breeding base of the Shiomachi farm, which has increased the monthly production capacity of eel fry to 1.2 million.

The company's other businesses are also gradually gaining momentum.

For such a high-quality customer, the rural commercial bank is naturally willing to give discounts in order to retain this big customer.
