Chapter 956 Are You Sure You Didn't Report an Extra 0?

Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia.

The sky was dimly lit, and a private airliner parked on the runway of Kuala Lumpur International Airport. Four or five extended Lincoln sedans were already waiting outside the special passageway of the airport, surrounded by anti-terrorist special agents for protection.

This special channel is usually closed, and it is specially prepared for guests of foreign prime ministers, but at this moment, it makes an exception and is opened for an entrepreneur who has no official position. The Malay government welcomed this Chinese entrepreneur with the highest courtesy.

"Welcome to visit, Mr. Jiang. As the Minister of International Trade and Industry of Malay, I sincerely thank you for your contribution to the Malay economy." In the car, Minister of International Trade and Industry Mustafa said politely Thanked him.

The new Malay District creates an output value of 50 billion U.S. dollars every year, accounting for almost one-eighth of the total GDP of Malay. Papua Province, which was originally poor and remote, has suddenly become one of the most prominent economic and industrial provinces in the entire Malay economy. And at least half of the output value is contributed by the industry of the Future Group, which is nothing more than Mustafa's enthusiasm.

The convoy quickly passed through this emerging international metropolis, which is an organic fusion of oriental colors and western civilization, and drove to Putrajaya, 20 kilometers south of Kuala Lumpur. As early as more than ten years ago, the Prime Minister's Office and the Federal Administrative Center were relocated here.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of Kuala Lumpur, it is much quieter and lower-key.

The motorcade stopped directly at the gate of the Prime Minister's Office. The red stone brick road spread all the way to the gate of the dome building. The green vegetation and carved street lamps on both sides looked quite retro.

Before the convoy arrived, the Malay Prime Minister Razak personally came to the door, led his staff, and politely welcomed Jiang Chen into the mansion.

Walking to a reception room, the black-haired middle-aged man invited Jiang Chen to take a seat, and then ordered the assistant of the Prime Minister's Office to pour a cup of black tea for himself and Jiang Chen.

"Mr. Jiang came all the way, why not?"

There was a thick white mist rising above the black tea, Jiang Chen said straight to the point without touching the cup of black tea.

"For a win-win cooperation agreement."

A look of interest crossed Razak's face.

"Oh? I don't know what kind of cooperation it is, but I actually asked you to come here in person."

"According to the 2018 annual electricity consumption situation announced by the Ministry of Energy of your country at the beginning of this year, the total power generation in your country last year was 224.3 billion kwh, and the average cost per kWh was 0.21 ringgit.

Energy costs are up three points from the previous year, am I right? "Jiang Chen asked with a smile.

Razak nodded, "That's true... Are you worried that our country's energy situation may affect the investment environment? You don't need to worry about this at all. We are backed by Singapore. Even if our electricity costs rise, other The country's increase will only be greater than ours, definitely not less."

Because Singapore, one of the world's three major oil refining bases, is itself a major exporter of oil and natural gas, Malaysia mainly uses thermal power generation, supplemented by wind energy and solar energy. Although its oil price is still relatively cheap compared to other countries due to the low freight cost, the rise in oil prices in recent years has still slightly raised its domestic electricity cost.

As early as 15 years ago, Malaysia proposed to build its first nuclear power plant in 2021. At that time, Russia’s national nuclear energy company participated in the bidding, but due to the wave of domestic opposition, the site selection of the nuclear power plant has not been finalized until today.

It can be said that the problem of electricity consumption has plagued Malaysia for many years, and it has never been completely resolved.

Even if there is no report from the Malaysian Energy Board, Jiang Chen can clearly see this from the financial report of Future Heavy Industries in the Singapore-Malaysia Special Administrative Region Industry Department. Changes in electricity prices will be directly reflected in the production costs of steel plants and aluminum plants. In the future, almost all high-pollution and high-manpower-demanding industries of Renhe Heavy Industry will be built in the Singapore-Malaysia Special Zone.

"But it's still a big question, isn't it?"

Frowning slightly, Razak relaxed his brows after pondering for a moment, and said as if he had made some kind of decision, "We are willing to give 100% to your industry in terms of power supply to Xinma District. Five-fifth discount... But you know, it is inconvenient to disclose this special treatment, and you must fulfill the duty of confidentiality for this matter."

Jiang Chen shook his head.

"It's not a long-term solution."

Razak was taken aback for a moment, and then a look of displeasure appeared in his eyes. He was willing to make concessions on the unified electricity price. It can be said that he was quite sincere, but Jiang Chen refused him without even thinking about it.

If it wasn't for the fact that the cooperative relationship between the two parties is very important to the Malay economy, he would have turned his face long ago.

Jiang Chen saw the deep displeasure hidden on Razak's face, but he didn't explain anything, but continued with a smile.

"Seeking your special consideration for us in terms of electricity prices is not the reason why I made a special trip here today. Since the problem is between us, what we need to do is to solve this problem, not one party. Give in, what do you think?"

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Razak was a little uncertain.

Not seeking special treatment? Then why are you raising the electricity price? Could it be...

Suddenly, he guessed a possibility, and looked at Jiang Chen in surprise. At this time, Jiang Chen continued to speak.

"We've had a major breakthrough in power generation—"

Before Jiang Chen finished speaking, Razak spoke immediately.

"Is it nuclear power?"

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "It's indeed nuclear power."

"Although I personally hope that you will participate in the bidding for nuclear power projects, I have to remind you that the nuclear power projects in Malaysia have not yet solved the problem of site selection. At least until 2025, it is impossible for the nuclear power plant project to start construction." La Zach shook his head.

"Although it is nuclear power, it will not be built in your country." Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"Where is that built?" Razak frowned.

"It's built in the sky," Jiang Chen pointed at the ceiling, "You only need a cable connecting Koro Island to the New Mata District, and you can enjoy cheap electricity."

"You mean to connect the power grids of Singapore and Malaysia? That's impossible." Razak shook his head. "The power grid is related to national security. Although our diplomatic relationship with Singapore is good, we don't have mutual trust enough to merge. the extent of the grid."

"It's not the power grid, it's just a simple sale of electricity." Jiang Chen spread his hands and persuaded, "Just like buying and selling natural gas, our electricity price will be much cheaper than your domestic power generation cost."

Looking at Razak who was lost in thought, Jiang Chen continued.

"Won't you listen to our offer first?"

"How many?"

"We only charge 0.05 ringgit for one kilowatt-hour of electricity."

Jiang Chen's understated words set off a turbulent wave in the Malay Prime Minister's heart, so much so that he couldn't help but gasp in a "hissy" breath.

"Are you sure you didn't report an extra zero?" (To be continued.) Enable new URL
