Romanian Eagle

After Eder got the 'synthetic ammonia' technology, he continued to care about the Romanian industrial construction led by himself.

After more than three years of construction, a large number of factories have been established in Bucharest, Constanta, Ploiesti, etc. Large factories have all kinds of supporting facilities, but in many small factories with dozens of people, the conditions are not so good.

Right now Edel is looking at the stats on this, the most stressful thing right now is electricity. In several industrial cities, the electricity supply is not bad due to the existence of large factories. However, there are also power cuts. In addition to the situation of domestic electricity consumption, the demand will continue to increase in the next few years.

"I can only count on the royal family to pay for infrastructure." Eder is also very troubled about this. Now the government's finances are struggling to cope with the reorganization of the army. It is still completed on the premise that the number of factories has gradually increased in the past two years and the fiscal revenue has increased. of.

If it is still in the previous economic situation, the government will not be able to make contingency plans. Previously, Prime Minister Stuerley failed to pay enough salaries to the following officials because the government was short of money. It was talked about by the lower-level officials, and these voices disappeared after they were finally made up for it.

"Go and invite Mr. Hersman advisor." Edel instructed the captain of the guard. Now the crown prince needs to understand the future growth trend of electricity supply in order to purposefully reduce the occurrence of this situation.

Edel met Hellsman in the office the next day. As a German, Hersmann has a unique German rigor and is extremely responsible for his work. Occasionally, he likes to travel and enjoy the beautiful scenery of various places.

"I have seen His Royal Highness, I don't know what I can do for the crown prince." Hersman knew that the crown prince must have something to do with him, so he asked directly.

"Hellsman, you are an electricity expert. Do you have any good advice for Romania's current electricity shortage?" The crown prince asked Hersman, hoping that he could give professional advice.

Hellsman has been working in Romania for several years, first at Siemens and later as a technologist at a small thermal power plant in Romania. Later, Edel got to know him during an inspection, and the crown prince felt that Hersman's ability was not bad. After paying for the goods in Germany, he made him his own consultant, specializing in providing electricity consulting for Edel.

"Crown Prince, the problem of the current shortage of electricity is because Romania's industry is developing rapidly, and the construction of power plants has not kept up due to the large investment." Helsman said euphemistically, this is Edel's previous purchase of equipment Not thoughtful.

How could Eder not hear what Helsman meant? He had no experience in introducing equipment and technology before, and only cared about the more conspicuous industries such as steel, chemical industry, and military industry. At that time, only 10 5,000 KW generator sets were prepared. The prediction was very good, but the small factories for supporting the project were not taken into account. In addition, the power plants are of the nature of large investment and low return, and almost no investment from private funds has been obtained. (Capital likes industries with high returns, such as investing in light industry, finance, etc.)

"Now I plan to change this phenomenon. I wonder what reasonable advice Mr. Hellsman can give me?" Edel also stated his request unequivocally.

Hearing the crown prince's question, Hellsman replied. "I think the current construction of power facilities needs to take into account the development in the next few years. Romania has good hydropower resources, and hydropower stations can be built to solve the problem of power supply for cities near rivers. Other cities can build nearby thermal power plants."

Eder heard the consultant's suggestion that the electricity produced by the hydroelectric power station is cheaper, but the initial investment is too large (3-4 times that of the thermal power plant), Eder plans to have more money. The construction cost of thermal power stations is relatively economical, with serious management pollution, high personnel costs, and high operating costs, but now is not the time to consider this issue.

To solve the problem first.

"Mr. Consultant, can you predict Romania's electricity demand in a few years?" Eder asked his most concerned topic.

"Okay, Your Royal Highness, I predict that Romania will need an installed capacity of 300,000 to 400,000 kilowatts in a few years to meet the demand, and the consumption of Constanta will be a little more." Faced with the question of the crown prince, Hersman gave out his own suggestion.

After a conversation between Crown Prince Eder and Hersman, he learned about the current electricity usage in Romania. Also have a general understanding of the future development of electricity

"Thank you very much for your help, Your Excellency Hersman. I will fully consider your suggestion." Edel said to Hersman, and then turned to the captain of the bodyguard. "Send to His Excellency Shehelsman for me."

Calust stepped forward and stretched out his hand to guide the consultant. "Your Excellency Hersman, please."

Hellsman nodded to the captain of the guard. "thanks."

After Edel sent off Hellsman, he pondered what the advisor had just said. Now the price of a 10,000-kilowatt thermal power unit is around £15,000 to £18,000. According to the minimum standard, the photoelectric generator set will cost 450,000 pounds, plus other supporting boilers, steam turbines, etc., at least 800,000 pounds to meet the minimum demand.

Eder knew that one stop would explode in a few years, when Romania returned to a period of rapid economic growth. Hersman's estimate is far from enough.

According to Eder's estimate, there is an installed capacity of 500,000 kilowatts to basically meet the demand. According to Eder's plan, it will take 1.4 million to 1.6 million pounds to meet the demand, and now the royal family's funds are deducted, and it is necessary to pay back the US payment for goods and leave a reserve. Only £3.14 million is available. The money Eder also has other uses, the deduction is only 1.2 million pounds, which is obviously not enough.

Even here, Edel sighed, industry is difficult to build. I don't know how in the books I read in my previous life, how others easily established industrialization.

Edel thought about it carefully, there was no good way, and suddenly thought of a crisis that caused the collapse of the government of a major country in the east. Maybe this could be used to raise funds for his power plant. However, before that, it is still necessary to consider the issue of power plant construction.

Eder called the captain of the bodyguard, Carrust, and asked him to send a tender message to Siemens in Germany and General Motors. The total installed capacity of a batch of thermal power plants needed to be built was 500,000 kilowatt-hours. Soon, the message was placed in two on the desks of the company's top executives. In the face of big business worth around 1.5 million pounds, both companies take it seriously.

GM decided to send a company executive to lead the team to participate in the tender, and Siemens also decided to send a vice president to lead the team to participate.
