#747 - Chapter 747: First-level partner quota? Crazy bidding! Take over the world again!
At this moment.
The Chinese high-level officials, led by the old man, were observing the conference behind the scenes.
Hearing Chen Hao's words, the old man was directly stunned.
This move…
Is really ruthless!
Taking out the unbuilt second-phase nuclear power plant as a commodity for auction?
Whoever offers a higher supporting fee will have lower electricity prices in the future.
First-level partners have the same electricity price as China?
No!
The problem is...
Compared to other countries, this price is ridiculously low.
Can you imagine five cents per kilowatt-hour?
The electricity costs of other countries far exceed five cents!
This is controllable nuclear fusion.
Leaving all other countries with no choice.
......
Subsequently.
Chen Hao announced the 'auction' rules.
Live auction!
Sign the contract on the spot!
Otherwise, it will be regarded as abandoning cooperation, and the country will permanently lose the opportunity to obtain cheap electricity.
What does it mean?
Countries using China's cheap electricity will significantly reduce industrial manufacturing costs.
Without cheap electricity, all industrial-related products will completely lose competitiveness and eventually become resource countries!
The so-called resource country...
Relies on exporting basic resources such as grain and minerals for a living.
With no future to speak of!
"England offers 10 billion euros!" Blair was the first to jump out.
Having been 'abandoned' by Chen Hao before, he was really worried about England being eliminated, and now he must strive for a good impression.
"England has already been eliminated." Chen Hao smiled apologetically.
"What?!"
Blair was completely dumbfounded.
So…
What the other party said about England's withdrawal was not simply to scare him, but a decision that had already been made?!
"Mr. Chen!"
Blair was shocked: "I was wrong before, I…"
Cannot be kicked out!
Otherwise, England will be finished!
"These are the rules."
Chen Hao shrugged, with an innocent and helpless expression: "I'm just acting on orders… No! I'm following the rules."
Blair completely collapsed.
The other heads of state and representatives felt a thud in their hearts.
Killing the chicken to warn the monkey.
England is that chicken!
Technology.
Energy.
These are the most core things in today's world.
Having both of these in China's hands means absolute power.
You object?
Let you out first!
"Mr. Chen, our country… only has a few hundred thousand people, and we don't have the ability to bid with big countries!" A small country's prime minister said with a bitter face.
"Don't worry!"
Chen Hao returned a kind smile: "It's not simply determined by the amount of funds bid, which level of partner it belongs to—it's linked to population and per capita electricity consumption, so please rest assured about fairness!"
Specific calculations will involve formulas.
One is the population size.
The second is the per capita electricity consumption.
Low per capita electricity consumption means that the country is relatively poor and cannot afford that much money.
Indeed!
After incorporating these factors, the bidding method is fairer.
But in reality…
It is to fleece the whole world based on the degree of wealth!
Rich countries pay more.
Poor countries pay less.
But!
It is impossible not to pay!
Otherwise, when the second phase of the nuclear power plant is completed, your country will be finished!
"Sweden offers 20 billion euros!"
"France offers 70 billion euros!"
"Germany offers…"
The rules have been made clear.
Bidding officially begins!
......
10:30 p.m.
In the quaint little courtyard, the old man was looking forward to it.
"The hero is back!" His eyes lit up.
Sure enough!
Chen Hao walked into the courtyard.
The old man greeted him, grabbed his hand and laughed: "Little Chen, we saw it all from the monitoring—this move is brilliant!"
All countries must obtain cheap electricity, otherwise they will completely lose competitiveness and have no future to speak of.
Forcing you to participate.
In the live auction, everyone wants to become a first-level partner, which means you will try to offer a high price, after all, non-first-level partners will have much higher electricity prices—and there is also the issue of electricity priority.
In order to become a first-level partner, a premium will inevitably appear in the bidding.
The most deadly trick is…
What is bidding?
It is not a one-time pricing.
When you find that other countries are offering higher prices and will become first-level partners, you can increase the price again.
In the end…
One or two hundred countries and regions are vying to do their best.
Most of them become first-level partners.
Five cents per kilowatt-hour.
But who ultimately benefits?
"Old man, the contracts have all been signed!" General Wang said with a smile.
The guard dragged a suitcase full of supporting fee contracts.
"Can you guess how much in total?" General Wang was very excited.
"I really don't know the specific total price." The old man shook his head.
"Converted to 35 trillion Chinese yuan!"
Wow!
The high-level officials, led by the old man, changed their expressions.
35 trillion!
What a concept?
You need to know that the Chinese yuan has become an international currency, and the monetary hegemony has been officially established, and the currency value has been further improved.
In addition.
China has built a globally integrated financial system, but the core components of the products are produced by Chinese companies.
The bulk of the profits remain in China, resulting in a significant decline in income in traditional developed countries.
Based on these two points.
It means that the whole world outside of China has been fleeced!
How much does it cost to deploy anti-nuclear weapons equipment?
Compared to this 35 trillion…
Insignificant!
"Take some for the Sky Dome Project, and the rest can be invested in large-scale infrastructure." Chen Hao chuckled.
The western reconstruction and the second phase of the nuclear power plant require astronomical amounts of funds.
The wool taken from the World Cup is only enough for the initial funding of these two major projects.
What's more.
Infrastructure is more than just these two items?
All in all.
With such a large sum of money, more projects can be started.
"Wait a minute!"
The old man frowned: "All used for large-scale infrastructure? Aren't you going to build a global power grid?"
This bidding model will inevitably lead to a lot of premiums, and you will definitely be able to make more money.
But!
Building a global power grid also costs money, right?
This part has to be deducted!
"Commander, you wouldn't be… taking the money and breaking the contract, not building transmission towers, would you?" General Wang exclaimed.
"Why build transmission towers?"
Chen Hao curled his lips and smiled: "It is clearly stated in the contract that we are only responsible for delivering electricity to the borders of each country—they already have power grids in their countries, so it is impossible for us to build them, right?"
"They have power grids in their countries, but the problem is that we send electricity to them, and we also have to…"
No!
The old man stopped before he finished speaking.
He suddenly understood.
"Wireless power transmission?!" The old man looked at Chen Hao.
"Yes."
Chen Hao nodded, his eyes very strange: "Although wireless power transmission equipment costs money, the cost is almost negligible compared to traditional power grids."
The group of high-level officials led by the old man all looked at him with ghostly eyes.
So to speak…
This kid had already thought about it, and he didn't plan to build transmission towers at all, purely to fleece the world?
But!
The countries didn't know that he was developing wireless power transmission technology, and they all thought that electricity was sent from China, so a new global power grid must be built—and to cover the globe, the investment is indeed extremely large.
China provides cheap electricity to the world, and will definitely not pay for the construction of the power grid.
The countries felt it was reasonable.
As for finding out that it's not the case in the future…
