Chapter 209 (1/2)

At present, ACE's energy is all focused on wind power generation, and the biggest problem at present is the power and speed control of wind turbines and generators.

As long as this problem is solved, they can carry out small-scale power supply experiments to determine the feasibility of wind power generation.

At present, the biggest profit point of ACE comes from gas supply and gas power generation.

In terms of railway transportation, with the economic downturn, the shrinking consumer market and the decrease in the number of travelers, the railway transportation line can only maintain balance of payments.

If the freight traffic volume and the number of passengers decrease again, I'm afraid a new round of reshuffle and price reduction will begin again.

At present, the railway companies, large and small, have reduced the freight costs by one third, and the passenger travel fares have been cut by half directly.

But even so, it cannot offset the impact of the great depression.

At the end of the meeting, Li and Samuel walked around the company and said, ”I'm worried about the market demand for new energy.”

”Why?” Smiling and nodding at the passing employees, Li Zitao didn't know what he was worried about.

”Charlie, oil and gas are more convenient and cheaper. Wind power will not cause pollution, but it is too expensive.”

A group of wind power generation equipment can provide about 10MW of rated power, but from the production of the equipment to the laying and putting into operation, their investment is 40000 US dollars.

In addition to labor, maintenance and equipment renovation, and continuous R & D, all of these require funds. Just by collecting electricity charges, you can't expect to make profits in the next century.

According to the current situation, even if the R & D is successful, the more laying and manufacturing, the more serious the loss will be. How can Samuel not worry?

”I think you have forgotten one thing. Oil and natural gas are limited. They are not renewable. They will always have light one day. What should we do then?”

Li Zitao's rhetorical question let him a Leng, then retort: ”but it's too early for now.”

”It's a little early, but how can you be sure that the market won't accept it?” Advertisement is king, as long as the advertisement plays well, no product can't be sold.

First, we publicized the non renewable nature of oil and natural gas, then clarified the harm of the waste they produced, and then found out from the historical events several cases of toxic gas poisoning, which were of great influence and were widely publicized.

Li believed that those enthusiastic people who had nothing to do would definitely appeal to the government for attention.

As for the impact of wind power on oil and gas, that will not exist at all.

The simplest solution is to raise the price!

They are non renewable resources. Use a little less. According to the market logic, the rarer the resources, the more expensive they are. Is it OK for me to spend longer?

I believe oil tycoons are also happy to see this situation. As long as the benefits of growth are higher than the funds consumed by reserves, they may take the initiative to expand publicity for Li Zitao.

However, the premise of all this should be carried out on the basis of ACE's successful research and development of wind power generation.

”It's too early to talk about this. We'll talk about it after the R & D is over.” Seeing that Li Zitao didn't want to talk about it again, Samuel turned to the topic and talked about the company's business.

In his heart, however, he secretly decided to increase the number of thermal and gas-fired generating units as soon as possible, and speed up the laying of power grids in towns and villages and the scope of business radiation.

Plans to merge other state power companies should also be launched as soon as possible.

At the next stop, Li Zitao originally planned to fly to San Francisco to brush up on the boss's sense of existence in Berkeley.

However, a piece of news related to Zhao Yaozhong interrupted his schedule.

……

”Is that true?” Li Zitao, looking at the invitation letter from Zhao Yaozhong, still feels a little inconceivable.
