Interstellar Energy Tycoon

The light-energy airliner "Xingmeng" was quickly approved.

It is said that after the project was announced within COMAC, the tens of thousands of employees of the company were instantly excited, roaring one by one, and then began to work overtime like a manic buff that day, vowing to work overtime in six months. Within a short period of time, the "Xingmeng" will be manufactured and its first flight will be realized, giving competitors a big surprise and letting them experience the feeling of the sky falling.

Their drive and fighting spirit are very worthy of recognition.

But for Li Xingyang, a new problem was in front of him.

That is the power generation power of space energy facilities, which is very likely to be insufficient.

On the one hand, after the establishment of the "Moon Mining Alliance", countless private companies will go to the moon to mine. According to about every 500 kWh of electricity, a ton of lunar minerals will be mined and sent to the blue star. If it can be done this year Mining 50 million tons of moon mines will consume 25 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity.

That is, the power generation capacity of photovoltaic arrays in space must be increased to 1000KW to basically meet the needs.

Now we have launched a solar passenger aircraft project. Even if the solar passenger aircraft will be put into use next year, and each takeoff and landing will consume 500,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity, if we can operate 100,000 sorties next year , That is to consume 50 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity.

Therefore, the total power generation capacity of the space photovoltaic array next year must be increased to at least 20 million KW.

Excluding the existing photovoltaic matrix of less than 2 million square meters.

It means that in the next year or so, at least 20 million square meters of super photovoltaic panels will be produced, and more photovoltaic power generation arrays will be built.

However, the production capacity of Xingyuan Group's super photovoltaic factory is less than 20,000 square meters per day. In addition to its own consumption, 40% of the production capacity must be provided to companies such as Bimengdi and Huayao to ensure that Xingyuan Group has a certain profitability.

Even if a larger super photovoltaic factory is to be built in the second half of the year, the production capacity of photovoltaic panels must be increased to 50,000 square meters per day.

not enough.

Still clearly not enough.

It cannot give Li Xingyang a sense of security that energy is sufficient, and it is not conducive to the rapid expansion of the energy empire, because the energy needed in the next year and the next year is even more massive, increasing to 100 million KW, 300 million KW, and 500 million KW , are not impossible.

The number of super photovoltaic panels needed is also an astronomical number. With the production capacity of Xingyuan Group alone, no matter how crazy it expands, it is estimated that it still cannot keep up with the actual use requirements.

what to do?

Li Xingyang put down part of his defensive mentality and had to consider authorizing the technology of super photovoltaic materials in advance and handing it over to traditional domestic photovoltaic panel companies to use their huge production capacity to solve their own problems.

In fact, it is not a big problem to just authorize the super photovoltaic materials. Although the photoelectric conversion rate of this material can reach 44.7%, some traditional photovoltaic panels can also achieve 37.5%. The performance gap between the two is not so big that it is difficult to bridge. Even if Li Xingyang lowers the requirements and replaces super photovoltaic materials with traditional photovoltaic panels with a photoelectric conversion rate of 30%, it is not impossible. Although the performance is inferior, it can still be used in the near future. of.

The core technology is actually the black grain material that can bring an additional 20% power generation capacity.

And a thermoelectric power generation pump with cooling and power generation effects.

It only authorized the technology of super photovoltaic materials, but firmly held black grain materials and thermoelectric power generation pumps in its own hands. Other companies obtained super photovoltaic material technology, and there was no obvious effect of improving power generation capacity. When the temperature was high, It is still easy to overheat and burn out, and it is completely impossible to cool down without a thermoelectric generator pump.

So on July 15th.

Li Xingyang asked Lu Xiaoyan from the HR department to take the initiative to make several phone calls.

This morning, the big conference room on the 28th floor of the Xingyuan Group headquarters building was filled with a group of bigwigs in the domestic photovoltaic industry, all of whom were acquaintances who had negotiated once before.

Such as Wang Zhenguo of Longji shares.

Song Chongwen of Jingao Energy.

Ji Xiaofan from Tianhe Guangneng.

Zhu Hongxia of Wanxin Technology.

etc.

At this meeting, Li Xingyang, who was sitting at the top, took the initiative to say that he would authorize the synthesis technology of super photovoltaic materials to them, not to mention that he would also give them three discounts.

One, technology authorization is free.

Second, send technical personnel to be responsible for guidance, and will help debug the production line, minimize production costs, maximize efficiency, and shorten their exploration process.

Third, Xingyuan Group will also place orders, which will not be less than 100 million square meters per year, so there is no need to worry about no sales.

Faced with these three discounts, Wang Zhenguo and the others were overjoyed, and they were all very excited.

"Mr. Li, you have been so kind to us. I don't even know what to say to thank you. I can only represent millions of photovoltaic industry workers and countless families, and bow to you to express my gratitude." Wang Zhenguo stood up, He bowed deeply.

"Mr. Li, I can only bow and thank you for your great kindness and noble sentiments."

Song Chongwen, Ji Xiaofan, Zhu Hongxia and others stood up and bowed one after another.

"No need to do that. Sit down, you all sit down. In fact, it's a bit early for you to thank me. I haven't finished my conditions. In addition to the three discounts, I have three other conditions. I ask you to fulfill them. If you can't agree If not, this cooperation may be difficult to achieve." Li Xingyang pressed his hands.

"Mr. Li, please tell me that with these three offers, I think we can make concessions and agree to even harsh conditions." Wang Zhenguo sat down and said.

"That's right, we can all live a good life just relying on these preferential conditions." Song Chongwen said.

"Listen first before making a judgment."

Li Xingyang said: "First, I won't charge you for the technology authorization fee, but the super photovoltaic substrates you produce cannot be sold abroad within three years, and the photovoltaic substrates sold to Xingyuan Group are at most based on the production cost. A 5% price increase and relatively meager profits can be regarded as a kind of compensation to offset the technology licensing fee.”

"Yes, the profit margin of 5% is very high. The traditional photovoltaic panels we make sometimes fail to reach this profit margin and often suffer losses. As for foreign markets, our original production line will retain part of it and will not be dismantled immediately. , or sell the production line to other countries, and transfer this backward industry out.”

Wang Zhenguo nodded and agreed to the first item without hesitation. Song Chongwen and others followed suit without objection.

"Second, Xingyuan Group has the highest priority to purchase the super photovoltaic substrates produced by your photovoltaic factory, that is, the production line capacity of your factory, Xingyuan Group has the right to take priority. In the face of their needs, they all have to wait in the back row, and Xingyuan Group's customers have the highest priority."

Li Xingyang said again.

"Uh... no problem, this is no problem, you can agree!"

Wang Zhenguo thought for less than five seconds before nodding his head in agreement, because he felt that Mr. Li might have underestimated the production capacity of their photovoltaic factory. No matter how big Mr. Li's demand is, a giant photovoltaic factory has an annual production capacity of at least 30 million square meters. , can it all be rounded?

And such a huge factory, the bosses present add up to more than 20 seats, and the production capacity accounts for 85% of the world's production capacity. Can't it meet the needs of Mr. Li?

Therefore, offending other customers will not happen. They are eager for Xingyuan Group to place a large number of purchase orders.

"Third, black grain material and thermoelectric power generation pump, these two core technologies will not be licensed to you, and authorization will not be considered for at least ten years. We can only sell extra production capacity to you on the premise of meeting Xingyuan Group's own needs. , you then assemble it into a complete super photovoltaic power generation panel."

Li Xingyang said.

"Here, Mr. Li, this won't work. If there are no supporting technologies for these two, can we add the word "super" to the super photovoltaic panels we produce? These three technologies are a set, and they need to be authorized at the same time to play a role. , Mr. Li, are you hiding two hands from us, or are you authorizing the least important technology to us? This really doesn’t work, we can’t agree to it!”

Wang Zhenguo's complexion changed, he felt that he had been fooled and couldn't accept it at all.

If there is no black particle material, the power generation efficiency will drop by 20%, which is not much different from traditional photovoltaic panels.

Without a thermoelectric power generation pump, a large amount of heat cannot be converted into more electrical energy, and the super photovoltaic panels cannot be used normally.

However, Mr. Li does not agree to authorize these two technologies, which is equivalent to being stuck in two necks. Not to mention, what they are responsible for is the most troublesome and lowest-profit link, and they have to purchase these products from Xingyuan Group at a high price, which is already meager. , and was earned back by Xingyuan Group. Although they can increase the price and sell it to consumers, the competitiveness of their products has weakened, and they are seriously constrained by others. If Xingyuan Group does not supply them with enough black grain materials and temperature difference For power generation pumps, no matter how large their photovoltaic panel production capacity is, they cannot be sold, let alone make a lot of profit.

unacceptable.

They really can't accept this condition.

"I think it is acceptable. You can find a way to develop black grain materials. You can find many similar alternative materials. It is not difficult to manufacture thermoelectric power generation pumps. You will not be dependent on Xingyuan Group. These two technologies cannot hold you back. neck, don’t belittle yourselves and ignore your R\u0026D capabilities.”

Li Xingyang persuaded them.

"Mr. Li, even if we can research and develop ourselves, the time required is definitely not a month or two, at least half a year or more than a year, and it will cost a lot of money. The performance is not necessarily competitive, and there are many risks. Purchasing technology authorization is the safest and most efficient way. Mr. Li, since you have the best reference answer here, why do we have to work hard to find out by ourselves? After we get the technology authorization, we will slowly improve on the basis of it , is the most efficient option, we just want to go this way.”

Wang Zhenguo still shook his head.

"No! It's not that I don't trust you, but the probability that the super photovoltaic panels will be obtained by the competitors of Xingyuan Group is too high, and this will probably affect my interests."

"Then authorize after two years, Mr. Li, we can wait, get the technology of black grain materials in two years, get the technology authorization of thermoelectric power generation pump in three years, open a period of window period, this can always be done Right?" Wang Zhenguo said.

"Five years, black grain materials, you have to wait at least five years, thermoelectric power generation pumps do not need authorization, as long as you can buy superconducting materials, you can easily imitate them, there is no technical threshold."

"Mr. Li, we can't wait for five years, and you said that there are many kinds of materials that can replace black grain materials. In this case, why should we cover them so tightly? We dare not dream about superconducting materials. This is yours, Mr. Li. Lifeblood..."

After some bargaining.

Countless saliva was spent.

Li Xingyang finally let go, and after three and a half years, he licensed the synthesis technology of black grain materials to them at a low price. As for the superconducting materials used in thermoelectric power pumps, it is impossible to authorize them, but after three to five years, they will be sold to them in sufficient quantities at a relatively cheap price.

in this way!

Xingyuan Group has successfully reached cooperation with these domestic photovoltaic companies, and a large number of technical personnel have begun to communicate and connect. It is expected that the production line of super photovoltaic substrates will be set up soon, because many production equipment can be used in common, perhaps as soon as two or three In a few months, the giant factories of these photovoltaic companies will be able to mass-produce a large number of super photovoltaic substrates to meet the needs of Xingyuan Group.
