Chapter 442: The choice of timing

z

After Hen learned that Fan Wubing was going to cooperate with the French and built a nuclear power plant in Indonesia, he was a little surprised. This was not only due to media debate, but also from the top leaders. It is said that some central committee members believed that this move was not beneficial at all, and it would be more practical than investing in doing something else.

These words made Fan Heng feel a little uncomfortable after hearing this, so he called Fan Wubing to ask about the details of this.

"Well, they don't know the inside story, so of course they can't make accurate judgments." Fan Wubing looked down on these Central Committee members very much. In fact, if they stripped off their gorgeous coat, they were all one head and two arms? Who wouldn't have a part grown out?

Moreover, Fan Wubing casually looked at these people who were very happy. At least dozens of people would be dismissed one after another within ten years. It is true that you are happy now, and you will slowly bring a list for you in a few years.

After listening to Fan Wubing telling him the inside story about this incident, Fan Heng realized that it turned out that Fan Wubing had a tacit understanding with the senior management, but he was worried for nothing.

"If you have such an older man in the future, report to me earlier, so that I can avoid worrying for a long time.

"Fan Heng said to his son.

After receiving Fan Wubing's promise, Fan Heng then asked, "Can you make money by building a nuclear power plant in a poor place like Indonesia? Also, are they willing to build a nuclear power plant there?"

"What's the matter?" Fan Wubing smiled and said, "I've been thinking about it after making a decision."

Due to the large engineering, strict equipment requirements and high comprehensiveness requirements, the cost of nuclear power plants is indeed relatively high, but the price of building nuclear power plants in poor countries like Indonesia should be lower than that of similar projects in the international arena.

The construction price of nuclear power project groups in China is about 1,800 US dollars per kilowatt. With the development of nuclear power, especially the process of localization and independent development, it will continue to drop to 1,200 US dollars. In fact, the second phase of Qinshan has dropped to 1,300 US dollars. Due to the life of the nuclear power plant, the investment cost of power generation sites is not high, especially after the return on investment.

The fuel cost of nuclear power plants is the cost of power generation in a relatively low life, and the on-grid electricity price can be compared with coal-fired power. In the international arena, many countries have better nuclear power generation costs than their own gas and coal-fired power. After the Sino-foreign joint venture nuclear power plants in the Daya Bay in the mainland were put into commercial operation, 70% of the electricity sold to Hong Kong for management was higher at the time and were in the repayment period. However, it is guaranteed that Chinese and foreign investors will get corresponding returns. It still means that the economics of nuclear power plants are very good.

In fact, in Europe, the operating cost of nuclear power is much lower than that of coal-fired power. This is mainly due to environmentally friendly factors.

The external cost of domestic coal-fired power chains is obviously much higher than that of foreign countries. This is mainly because domestic coal-fired power plants do not have desulfurization devices installed. The emissions of sulfur dioxide are about five times higher than those of developed countries, and the domestic coal-fired power chain accident mortality rate is much higher than that of foreign average. If factors such as transportation and energy conversion rate are considered, the external cost of domestic coal-fired power chains will be higher, and there are not so many troubles in the nuclear power chains.

Fan Wubing thought about it. The construction cost in Indonesia will be lower as long as the Indonesian government is done. This is a matter of making a profit and not losing money. Recently, he is also considering building some larger industrial projects in Indonesia, such as oil and gas mining.

Especially Indonesia has abundant resources. It has been proven that the reserves of oil are 50 billion barrels, 70 trillion cubic meters of natural gas, 36 billion tons of coal, and the forest area accounts for about 74% of the total land area.

In fact, Indonesia is the country that Fan Wubing hates the most. If there should be a country in this world be destroyed, Fan Wubing’s first thought was not Japan, but Indonesia.

This time, he wanted to build a nuclear power plant in Indonesia. The main purpose was to open up channels to enter the Indonesian market and plunder Indonesia's natural resources, such as coal, oil, natural gas, etc., as well as forest resources that are very easy to exploit. These are important resources that the pulp needs for the domestic paper industry depends on.

"Then where are you planning to build a nuclear power plant in Indonesia?" Fan Heng asked.

Fan Wubing thought about it for a while and replied, "I am discussing this issue with the French. My current idea is to be in East Timor."

"East Timor? Where is that?" Fan Heng was a little confused after hearing this.

At this time, most people in China don’t know where East Timor is. Indonesia is a relatively distant existence for the Chinese. The four words "transformation of foreign barbarians" are the first impressions of the Chinese people about Indonesia. As for the others, they probably know that there should be a lot of rubber forests there, right?

East Timor is located on Timor Island in southern Indonesia, across the Timor Sea from Australia.

Before the 16th century, Timor Island was governed by the Kingdom of Srivador centered on Sumadara and the Kingdom of Manobache, centered on Java. Later, Portuguese colonists invaded Timor Island, and then

By invading, the British colonists also briefly controlled West Timor. Later, Portugal made an appointment and re-divided Timor Island.

The eastern part of Timor Island and Okusi returned to Portugal, and the western part was incorporated into the Dutch East India, namely Indonesia. Japan occupied East Timor during World War II, and Australia was once responsible for managing East Timor after the war.

In 1975, the Portuguese government allowed East Timor to hold a referendum and implement national self-determination. The independent Revolutionary Front of East Timor, which advocated independence, advocated a democratic alliance that maintained relations with Portugal, and advocated a merger with Indonesia, and caused a civil war due to different political views.

In the same year, Indonesia sent troops to East Timor and declared East Timor as Indonesia's 27th province the following year. The United Nations General Assembly has since passed a resolution requiring Indonesia to withdraw its troops. With the mediation of the UN Secretary-General, Portugal and the Indonesian government have held more than a dozen rounds of negotiations on the East Timor issue.

"How could you choose such a messy place?" Fan Heng asked with a frown after hearing this.

Fan Heng was very worried about how his son thought about it. He didn't choose so many peaceful places, but chose a region where all forces were fighting for. You should know that there are occasionally armed conflicts in East Timor now.

What future can you have in this place?

Fan Wubing replied with a smile, "I counted my fingers and found that Indonesia's energy in East Timor has been exhausted. Now it is a good opportunity to intervene. After passing this village, there is no such store. You have to hurry up!"

Now Indonesia's ruler Suharto has ruled Indonesia for more than 30 years since launching a military coup in the 190s. There are many domestic conflicts, but there is only a lack of a fuse. Fan Wubing knows very clearly that after the Asian financial crisis broke out between this year and next year, the domestic economic situation in Indonesia will deteriorate rapidly. It is only a matter of time for Suharto to step down, and the problem of East Timor will be solved.

At this moment, of course, we must seize this opportunity and plan for East Timor in advance.

At least now, the land prices in East Timor are cheap, which is basically no different from giving away for free. You can find an island or port here to build a nuclear power plant, and you only need to pay a very small price to achieve your goal.

If Fan Wubing entered East Timor in normal times, he would still encounter some resistance. However, in recent years, Indonesia has encountered great resistance in East Timor. Although it is still maintaining its power, its influence is no longer as good as before, let alone obtaining stable benefits from East Timor.

Under such circumstances, the Indonesian government will be very happy as long as it has money to make money. Therefore, Fan Wubing only needs to pay a very small price to obtain an access permit from the Indonesian government.

Western countries have been encouraging East Timor independence for their own interests. Fan Wubing instigated the French to develop together in East Timor, which is objectively in line with their interests. At least two permanent members with veto power in China and France have also been involved in the political situation of East Timor, which has added some help in promoting East Timor independence.

Based on this idea, the local forces in East Timor will not rebound when Fan Wubing enters the island to invest.

What Fan Wubing has to do now is nothing more than lobbying among all forces, such as lobbying the Indonesian government through the Americans and lobbying the local forces in East Timor through the French. Of course, Australia, across the sea, also has some influence on East Timor, and their attitude also needs to be paid close attention to.

However, the Australian government is currently vigorously advocating private investment, and even some homeless islands in China are selling at a low price. In this case, as long as Fan Wubing invests in some projects in Australia, it will be able to influence the government.

Taking into account all the reasons, Fan Wubing had already made a comprehensive plan at this time, and his various teams were also gradually moving out to consult with relevant parties on this matter.

It is difficult for Fan Heng to understand that Fan Wubing's mind has so many things in his mind, so he can only hope that his son will not be reckless and stay away from those places before the situation stabilizes. Making money is important, but his own safety is the first priority. There is no need to lose his life because of some dispensable things.

Fan Wubing also saw this clearly and promised Fan Heng, "Don't worry, things have not reached the end of success, I will not go to the danger myself."

Although Fan Heng was still worried about this, he also knew that his son had some ideas in his mind and would not be careless than the issues he had considered. Fan Wubing himself was full of confidence and no one knew better about the situation than him.

Going to East Timor now is basically like grabbing money. When the situation is the most chaotic, it is the most easy opportunity to maximize benefits.
