.

Ranpike was in the office, looking out through the gaps in the curtains.

It was working hours. At this time, the company's factory buildings were always full of noisy sounds, and large container trucks were coming and going. Today, the entire factory area was quiet, and only a few birds were seen jumping around on the ground, looking for food residues left by people.

Outside the company, there were hundreds of workers holding signs in their hands and making loud noises.

"We want to work! Protest the company's introduction of automatic assembly lines!"

"Get back Alan Pike! You guy who relies on machines to deprive us of our right to survive has stepped down!"

"Technology serves humanity, not a monster that drives us home to eat pensions!"

Alan Parker sneered and grabbed the curtains.

Let’s make a fuss, and even if the union intervenes, I will never give in. The company’s fuss has finally introduced the most advanced automatic assembly line from Universal Company. How can you destroy such a rare opportunity?

Huanyu Company’s automatic assembly production line is well-known. Everyone knows that the cost of joint manufacturing is so low, it is entirely due to the high-precision automatic assembly line.

Companies who want to buy such high-performance assembly lines need to almost squeeze the door of Universal Corporation.

However, Universal has never sold medium and low-end assembly lines, all of which are ordinary products of similar level as other companies. Automatic robots have never sold one.

Unexpectedly, the company's board of directors actually purchased the entire production line equipped with the latest automatic robots through relationships from Universal. After hearing this news, he almost made Alan Parker go crazy.

What are those companies in Europe? How could they become the world's top computer manufacturers without relying on the support of Universal?

In this way, they control the entire industry!

Now I have it too. It is still the most advanced replacement product. So in the future, will our California Solar Energy Company become the dominant player in the solar energy field?

Alan Parker happily ignored the guys protesting at the company's doorstep and happily watched the assembly line installation progress report.

It cannot be said that Alan Parker is cruel. He is a professional manager who makes a living by his performance.

The better the company's operating conditions and the higher the profits, the higher the salary for the board of directors to pay him. If the business is excellent, there will be a lot of extra money in the bank account at the end of the year!

Compared with the workers' requirements, Alan Parker certainly cares for himself more.

Besides, he was not completely sympathetic. He wanted to fire all the 1,000 people in the company. The company also made arrangements, and more than 100 technical backbones would stay in the automatic factory for on-site operations. The other more than 500 people planned to arrange them in the assembly production line. Only the remaining more than 400 people would the company mobilize them to either transfer to the sales department or go to the desert power plant to do maintenance work.

In short, the company has taken into account the possible troubles caused by the union and has no plans to lay off employees.

But if these workers are going to be tough, don’t blame him for Alan Parker for being ruthless and going to strike. You can go on strike! If you can’t beat me, I will recruit people again!

Alan Parker recalled all kinds of things that have happened over the past few days, and suddenly gritted his teeth and was filled with joy. His hands holding the report were trembling constantly.

This is a test report for the latest solar panels.

The photoelectric conversion rate reaches 39%! It’s amazing!

If this was a report from a certain laboratory, he would not be surprised. Although Alan Parker used to be a manager in an air conditioning company, he had been the executive general manager of California Solar Energy for four and a half years. He was able to gain a foothold in this company that frequently changed its general manager. His skills were still very good.

Of course he knew that in some laboratories, solar panels have been made with conversion rates of more than 40% of the land. However, this is the first example in the world that can be provided to companies in large quantities through commercial production!

The company used the purchased high-efficiency solar panels to buy focus lenses from another company, and used the purchased technology to produce temperature control devices to form a complete set of solar cell packs.

So when the company's board of directors asked him whether he was still responsible for installing solar panels in those communities as before, as his main business in the future, Alan Parker immediately proposed a bold plan - to invest in and build a solar power plant himself, and to transform the company from a contractor to an electric power supplier!

He proposed this plan, which was bold.

The investment in building a solar power plant is quite large. Although the entire set of solar cell units is only an amazing low price of 1,160 US dollars. However, to build a solar power plant, including the investment in other auxiliary supporting facilities, the investment per square kilometer will also be as high as 300 million US dollars.

The US dollar has depreciated too much. The US government is now suffering from bad consequences. It only costs 100 euros for every 180 US dollars. The current popularity of the US dollar is getting worse and worse, and it is also becoming more difficult for the government to make money from the outside world.

Therefore, the construction cost of one square kilometer is 1.67 billion euros. The company can build a power plant of up to ten square kilometers. No matter how big it is, it will be powerless.

Alan Parker secretly contacted some important large consortiums in the United States, including the U.S. Department of Energy, Rockefeller Consortium, Morgan Consortium, First Citibank, DuPont Consortium, etc., presented relevant test reports and sent a physical sample respectively.

In Alan Pike's view, he couldn't afford to rely on the company's own financial resources, but he was unwilling to give it to others.

Instead of doing this, it is better to secretly contact these large consortiums, get their support, and get enough financial support from them. And if nothing unexpected happens, the company will eventually be swallowed up by these large consortiums. Then, even if you are on the list of a big tree in advance, isn’t it more cost-effective than being the general manager of a small regional company now?

This is enough to make these energy giants tycoons feel excited by a large number of cheap solar panels.

Alan Parker looked at the report and drooled. The company used 1,600 times focusing lenses to assemble the solar cell pack, each with a length of 1,600 meters, and a width of less than three square meters, with an hourly current output of 5.9 kilowatts!

One square kilometer. With the detection channel left, at least 250,000 solar cell groups can be arranged.

The power generation can reach 147.5 million kilowatts per hour!

The test report said that these solar panels are refined products with stable performance and very high quality. They can reach an extraordinary service life of 25 years.

Twenty-five years!

The construction cost per square kilometer is 8 hours a day, 365 days a year, and the construction cost per square kilometer is spread on average, and the cost per kilowatt is less than a cent!

If it weren't for seeing such an excellent cost advantage, Alan Parker wouldn't have suggested to the board of directors on the spot that he would not be a seller. Instead, he would build the power plant by himself. It was not because the power cost was so low that Alan Parker didn't have the courage to quietly run to contact various large consortiums with the board of directors behind his back.

He calculated accurately, those greedy big conglomerates,

This advantage. I will definitely not miss this opportunity!

Even if the company builds a power station with its own strength, it will inevitably be jointly swallowed and acquired by those consortiums. Instead of looking at other people's faces and waiting to be swept out, it is better to take action first and seek refuge in the future owner in advance.

Those guys from the Funeral Council were foolishly thinking that they were going out to travel every day to raise funds from banks and raise construction costs.

They don’t think about it either. No bank has the ability to undertake huge investments of hundreds of billions of dollars. Even if they have so much money, they will not let the money be recovered slowly in more than 20 years.

Except for the US Department of Energy, who would pay for such a large amount of funds?

Thinking of a bright future, Alan Parker was so excited that he was restless. He walked around the office, staring at the phone in his eyes, waiting for the phone ring to bring him good news to ring soon.

Ding Lingling.

The sudden phone ringing made Alan Parker tremble, then quickly rushed to the desk and grabbed the phone.

"I am Alan Parker!... Chairman? Yes, when I go to the conference room, I understand, I'll come right away."

Alan Pike put down the phone in disappointment. What are these guys on the board doing? How could he think of letting me go to the conference room? Could it be that I was blamed for not handling the worker strike?

Alan Parker, who was full of suspicion, put on his coat, tidied up his instrument in front of the mirror, and left the office with a confident smile.

He came to the ninth floor, and as soon as he opened the door, he quickly shrank back as if he was burned.

In the conference room, he clearly saw the Rockefeller Consortium's landlord sitting in it!

I was betrayed!

His heart was like an electric current rushing through him, and his heart suddenly became sharp and his face quickly turned pale.

Just like he went to contact various consortiums privately with the company's board of directors behind his back. The large consortiums who learned the information obviously did not take his little role seriously, but directly contacted the company's fence bureau.

Although there is not much loyalty in the cold capital society, it is very embarrassing to the thick-skinned Alan Pike when exposed in person and putting a big "traitor" label on her body.

The door opened and the chairman of the board appeared at the door with a smile: "Mr. Alan Pike, please come in. We are exchanging some opinions on the solar power plant matters with Mr. Oled, the joint representative of several consortiums. I hope you can provide us with more reasonable suggestions."

Alan Parker looked into the eyes of the chairman of the board, and behind the smile of the chairman of the board, he felt a cold chill.

He calmed down, walked into the conference room, and nodded politely to the board members present.

The atmosphere in the conference room was a bit weird. The look of several company shareholders looking at him made him feel that he was being targeted by a poisonous snake. But the company's flirting officials did not show much anger, but looked at him with a pitiful and ridiculous look.

Sitting opposite the company's directors was a joint lineup. Among these people, he found at least the representatives of the Rockefeller Consortium, the First Citibank Consortium, and the DuPont Consortium. They all looked at themselves with false smiles, looking very polite, but they made him feel disgusted.

A middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a navy blue suit stood up and reached out to him: "Mr. Alan Pike? Hello, I am Oled, I am very happy to know you."

Alan Pike was a little confused. Of course he knew this person. When he reported to the Rockefeller Consortium, it was Mr. Oled who met him. His current statement shows that he did not reveal what he had contacted with the consortium in private?

He breathed a sigh of relief and stretched out his hand with some anxiety: "Hello, I'm very honored to be here to receive you."

The two of them hypocritically made some politeness, and Oled introduced him to the people who came with him. They are representatives of the energy field and large consortiums across the United States.

After a group of people greeted each other, Alan Parker sat carefully next to the chairman of the board of directors, observing carefully with the idea of ​​watching more, listening more, and listening less.

"So, since you have expressed considerable interest in our solar power plant plan, I wonder how much money you are going to invest in our project?" After everyone took the seat, the chairman of the board asked a core issue that everyone was concerned about.

The fire cannot be covered. Since the consortium knows it, it is meaningless to hide it.

Although the original plan was not to directly contact the consortium, the so-called world is impermanent. The general manager of his company actually went to secretly communicate with other consortiums. This is really the number one joke of Tianzi.

Since this is the case, according to the boss's plan, he would not be wronged by letting Alan Pike come out as a scapegoat.

Oled exchanged glances with several representatives of the consortium around him and said with a smile: "Mr. Moron, in fact, we are only in the first contact with you this time. What we are more interested in is the company that can provide commercial production scale and supply solar cell cells. If you are willing..."

"Of course I don't want to!" Chairman Moron, the board of directors, refused. He didn't even mean to discuss.

Oled and others were not discouraged at all, and said with a smile: "Mr. Moron, I think you should be very clear about the situation. The unit power cost of the concentrated solar cell pack you provide is indeed very attractive. However, the construction investment of up to 290 million US dollars per square kilometer is also very amazing. One hundred square kilometers can provide power output, which is only enough for the electricity consumption of New York City. Moreover, you want to know the disadvantages of solar energy more clearly than me, when day and night are alternating..."

"We plan to solve the energy reserves of day and night alternately," another company director interrupted him bluntly. "This technology has been developed for decades and after the maturity of magnetic levitation technology, it can be fully applied to reality. Using the electricity generated by solar energy, it drives high-intensity carbon material flywheels and rotates at extremely high speeds. When the sun is lost at night, the gradually slower flywheel drives the motor to provide a continuous supply of electricity. The 500,000 kilowatt flywheel energy storage equipment in the United States has been available. One square kilometer, only three sets of flywheel energy storage equipment are needed to be installed, which is enough to use."

Oled had a standardized smile on his face, and waited patiently for him to finish his words before speaking: "Yes, you have proposed a perfect solution. Then, the problem is that the total investment in the power plant is too high! 290 million US dollars per square kilometer. To be honest, no consortium will be willing to pay hundreds of billions of dollars in bills for it!"

"But the solar power plants we built can solve the power demand of 69% in the United States!" The director shouted, "For less than a cent, we can get five times the return for less than a cent, even if we sell them for five cents! We can make you want to share the profits with 50%!"

Ha ha ha ha!

The consortium representatives laughed in unison.

First, they won't pay bills for hundreds of billions of dollars. Especially when oil energy is still at a high level
