Since all trains on the Beidou Star train are sleepers, the full capacity is only about 200 passengers, and the dining car can only provide about 20 seats for dinner, so passengers have to dine here. It is not necessary to have a regular meal.

It is easy to make a reservation in advance. Moreover, the dining car also attaches great importance to the quality of customer service, so each passenger who comes to dine is given quite a long time. In this way, passengers who can come to the dining car to eat in the restaurant,

It will only be a small part of all passengers, not even one-third. This ensures that the dining environment in the dining car is very good. And passengers who have not reserved a seat do not have to worry about not having food to eat.

There are vending machines, and you can miss the meal time and come to the dining car, but at that time, the dining car does not provide formal meals, but some simple fast food. Therefore, the entire dining car is in good order, and the dining environment can be said to be quite

The land is nice.

Most of the people in the dining car were young people, and most of them looked like couples. Although Fang Mingyuan chose to take the train, claiming that it was to inspect the Japanese railway and the Seikan Tunnel, Lin Rong and Yu Rui had a feeling of traveling and dating.

, the mood is naturally very good. Of course, it would be better if there were not so many male gazes sweeping over me from time to time, and once they make eye contact, they would avoid it like rabbits.

The three of them were eating and talking. Lin Rong's eyes inadvertently glanced at the entrance of the dining car and saw an old man with gray hair, which made her startled.

The old man's eyes scanned the entire restaurant and landed on Fang Mingyuan's table. His eyes immediately lit up and he strode over to this side. However, he was not able to approach Fang Mingyuan's table and was a few steps away.

, and was stopped by Wu Xingguo.

"Assistant Lin, please inform me. Thank you very much." The old man's Mandarin was not standard, but Fang Mingyuan understood it and immediately turned his head.

"Mingyuan, this is Sasaki Higashihiro, the president of Toshiba Corporation." Lin Rong whispered to Fang Mingyuan, "I don't know why he is also on this train."

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but be startled, and then waved his hand, Wu Xingguo willingly moved out of the way and let the old man come over.

"Fang Jun, I'm really sorry for bothering you! I'm Higashi Sasaki from Toshiba!" The old man smiled and saluted, "Thank you, Fang Jun, for giving me this rare opportunity to meet."

"President Sasaki, please take a seat." Fang Mingyuan smiled and asked him to sit down. Sasaki Dongxing, he knew that this person was the current president of Toshiba Corporation. He was previously the head of Toshiba's Social Infrastructure Department, and in 2000

Six years ago, as a representative of Toshiba Corporation, he acquired Westinghouse, a famous nuclear power company, for a high price of US$3.7 billion. In 2009, because Toshiba suffered a loss of US$3.6 billion in the previous fiscal year,

Became the new president of Toshiba Corporation.

"President Sasaki, have you had your meal?" Fang Mingyuan asked, "I don't mind talking while eating, I'm treating you."

"Then I'm welcome. It's my honor to be able to treat Fang Jun." Sasaki Dongxing stretched out his hand to summon the waiter and ordered a kaiseki meal. Fang Mingyuan smiled and said: "Fang Jun, I don't know what you are interested in."

What do you think of the future development prospects of the nuclear power industry?”

Fang Mingyuan grinned slightly. This person was really outspoken and straight to the point. After Toshiba acquired Westinghouse, it meant that it shifted its business focus to the nuclear power industry. And on this day in 2010

Judging from the current situation, the nuclear power industry is indeed thriving and has very exciting development prospects.

Although it is said that the former Soviet Union built the world's first nuclear power plant in the 1950s, ushering in the peaceful use of nuclear energy by mankind, the United States has caught up from behind and has hundreds of nuclear power units. France and Japan both have

There are more than 50 nuclear power units, Russia has about 30, and even South Korea has about 20 nuclear power units. Nuclear power generation has accounted for more than ten percent of the world's total power generation, with France having the highest number.

It reached three-quarters, and Japan and the United States both had more than one-fifth. He couldn't remember clearly, but it seemed that there were more than a dozen countries and regions where nuclear power generation accounted for more than 20% of the total power generation!

Nuclear power, thermal power, and hydropower together constitute the three pillars of global electric energy. Although wind power and solar power industries have also emerged in recent years, the status of nuclear power, thermal power, and hydropower has not been shaken for a long time. Global

There are more than 400 nuclear power units in operation, with a total installed capacity of nearly 400 million kilowatts. Nearly 30 countries and regions have nuclear power plants, and more countries and regions are under construction or planning to build them.

Although countries around the world still have some doubts about the safety of nuclear power, the shadow of the Three Mile Island nuclear accident in the United States and the Chernobyl nuclear accident in the former Soviet Union have led governments around the world to generally adopt more safety facilities.

Stricter approval system and other measures to ensure the safety and reliability of nuclear power plants. For more than two decades, the nuclear power industry has been relatively safe, giving people a certain degree of confidence in its safety. In addition, low-carbon emissions have become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

, people are eager for clean energy, reducing environmental pollution, and slowing down global warming, so the development of nuclear power is natural.

But all this, after the nuclear accident at Japan's Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant, caused casualties and serious environmental pollution, triggered nuclear panic around the world, especially in East Asia and Europe, questioning the safety and reliability of civilian nuclear technology.

And triggered a trend of denuclearization. After the nuclear accident at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant, the Japanese government evacuated personnel as quickly as possible to control the scope of the accident, and at the same time shut down other nuclear power plants in the country in response to the strong anti-nuclear wave in the country.

The Fukushima nuclear accident also triggered widespread public protests against nuclear power projects around the world. The construction of new nuclear power plants will face strong public opinion and social pressure, which cannot be ignored by governments of all countries. Moreover, Germany has also made changes in this regard.

He set an example and claimed that he would gradually shut down nuclear power projects in the country. Although after the summer of 2012, Fukushima nuclear accident and the heavy damage it caused to the nuclear power industry would develop. Fan Mingyuan did not say how it would develop.

I don’t know, but it is a certainty that the nuclear power industry will have to significantly slow down its development as a result.

However, it is naturally impossible for Toshiba and Sasaki Toyuki to know these things. After acquiring Westinghouse, they are probably gearing up to show off their talents in the nuclear power industry.

Fang Mingyuan's guess was correct. Although Sasaki Dongxing's face was calm and calm, his heart was pounding, which meant that he did not have a heart disease. Otherwise, at this age,

It is very possible to fall ill on the spot.

Sasaki Toyuki is very optimistic about the future of the nuclear power industry, and he has personally worked in this industry all his life. He can be said to be Toshiba's expert in the nuclear power industry. It is for this reason that Toshiba acquired

He personally leads the Westinghouse Company's shares. The reason why he became Toshiba's new president last year is precisely because the board of directors is optimistic about the future of the global nuclear power industry.

Sasaki Higashi is also ambitious and plans to reach the peak of his career when he is sixty years old. His long-term vision for the company is to acquire 39 nuclear power plants around the world by 2015.

orders, which will bring extremely generous operating profits to Toshiba, thereby reversing Toshiba's huge losses in 2009. And he has indeed made some achievements. From fiscal year 2010 to the present, Toshiba has

The performance is quite gratifying.

However, Sasaki Higashi also understands that in order to achieve the goal of winning 39 nuclear power plant orders globally by 2015, it is completely impossible to rely on the Japanese market. We must go out of Japan and we must

Open up new markets. The United States, a major nuclear power country, and China, which is experiencing rapid economic development, are places he must make great efforts to conquer in order to achieve this goal. Among them, China is the main target.

China's economy is developing rapidly, and the demand for energy is also growing rapidly. The consumption of coal, oil, and natural gas can be said to be increasing day by day. According to the information obtained by Toshiba, although China currently has a large number of hydropower stations, the power generation

The main force is still thermal power plants. Every year, a large amount of coal is transported into thermal power plants, which is converted into a steady stream of electricity and a large amount of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, smoke and other pollutants, resulting in serious environmental pollution.

Although the current domestic environmental protection force in China is still very weak, as time goes by, the Chinese government will inevitably face environmental pressure from domestic and foreign countries and have to consider reducing the emissions of various pollutants including carbon dioxide, and China

The scale of domestic hydropower stations is already quite large, and the negative impact of large-scale construction of hydropower stations on river basins has gradually become apparent. It is no longer possible to build more large-scale hydropower stations on a large scale in the future. However, natural gas, wind power, solar energy and other energy sources,

They all have problems of one sort or another, making it difficult to apply them on a large scale at a time.

Nuclear power can be said to be clean energy and has a very small impact on the environment. Its waste gas emissions are only higher than those of hydropower and solar power, and far lower than coal and natural gas power generation. Compared with wind power and hydropower, it is less restricted by natural conditions, and

Although the initial investment is higher than that of traditional thermal power plants, its total power generation cost is lower than that of thermal power plants. The most important thing is that China's nuclear power accounts for less than 3% of the country's total electricity. Compared with other countries in the world,

There is still a huge gap. This means that China still has a lot of room for nuclear power development in the future!

However, the fat piece of China's nuclear power market is not only coveted by Toshiba, France, Canada, Russia and other countries are also eyeing it. Everyone wants to get the biggest piece of this big cake, and the Chinese government is not willing to take this piece of cake.

The market has been ceded to foreign companies, so the localization of nuclear power unit equipment has always been closely watched by the Chinese government. If it cannot win enough orders as soon as possible, it will face problems from other countries and Chinese companies.

fierce competition.

What makes Sasaki Dongxing gratified is that with the coming to power of Yukio Hatoyama, the relationship between Japan and China has eased, which has created a good external environment for Toshiba to promote its products to the Chinese government.

However, in order to get the Chinese government to choose Toshiba and Westinghouse's nuclear power equipment, Sasaki Dongyang felt that the current preparations were still not enough, so he set his goal in China, hoping to get strong support. Fang Mingyuan also became famous because of this.

came into his sight.

Although the Fang family does not have nuclear power-related companies, Fang Mingyuan's influence in China's domestic political, business, and financial circles is unimaginable. If Su Huandong had not retired, his influence would still be

We have to go to the next level! Moreover, many companies in the Mitsui Consortium have already cooperated with the Fang family. Sasaki Dongxing feels that this is also a major advantage for him to convince Fang Mingyuan.

Although Fan Mingyuan's arrival in Sapporo is not known to ordinary people, top figures among the Japanese social elite like Sasaki Higashikata always have some channels to find out. This is also because Fan Mingyuan did not deliberately hide his whereabouts.

When he learned that Fang Mingyuan was going to take the Big Dipper train from Sapporo to Tokyo, Sasaki Dongxing decided to look for an opportunity to meet Fang Mingyuan. If it were another rich man, Sasaki Dongxing didn't have much confidence that he would be able to give Fang Mingyuan a chance to interview.

But Fang Mingyuan doesn't seem to have so many messy problems.

"The prospects are bright, but the process is tortuous." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "President Sasaki, the nuclear power industry seems a bit far away to me, right? If you talk to me about the home appliance industry or the semiconductor industry, believe us

There will be more common language.”

Sasaki Dongxing smiled and said: "It's not too far away, can Longxing Construction Group Company also undertake the construction project of nuclear power plants? We still appreciate the construction level of Longxing Construction Group Company. I personally hope that in the future

We can have more cooperation opportunities and develop together."

Fang Mingyuan picked up the sake on the side and poured a glass for Sasaki Dongyang, and said with a smile: "President Sasaki, let's not beat around the bush. I'm still on vacation. If you have anything on your mind, you might as well say it directly."

Sasaki Dongxing's eyes widened in surprise, and then he laughed again and said: "It's a pleasure to talk to Fang Jun! Since you said so, Fang Jun, I will just say it. I think that your country's future nuclear power

The industrial market prospects are very good, and I would like to join hands with you, Fang Jun, to jointly develop your country's nuclear power market."
