Chapter 956 (1/2)
Kuala Lumpur, this is the capital of Malaysia.
A private airliner pulled up on the runway of Kuala Lumpur International Airport in the light of the sky. Four or five extended Lincoln cars have been waiting outside the airport's special passageway, surrounded by anti-terrorism secret service personnel.
This special channel is usually closed for foreign Prime Minister level guests. However, at this moment, it is open to an entrepreneur without any official post. The Malaysian government welcomed the Chinese entrepreneur with the highest courtesy.
”Welcome to visit, Mr. Jiang. As Minister of international trade and industry of Malaysia, I sincerely thank you for your contribution to the Malay economy. ” On the bus, international trade and Industry Minister Mustafa politely expressed his thanks to him.
The new Malaysia special economic zone creates an annual output value of US $50 billion, accounting for almost one eighth of the total GDP of Malaysia. Originally a remote province, Papua has become one of the most attractive economic and industrial provinces in Malaysia. At least half of the output value is contributed to the industry of futuren group, which is no more than Mustafa's enthusiasm.
The motorcade soon passed through this emerging international metropolis with Eastern Color and Western civilization, and drove to Bucheng, 20 kilometers south of Kuala Lumpur. More than a decade ago, the prime minister's office and the federal administrative center moved here.
Compared with the prosperity of Kuala Lumpur, it seems quiet and low-key.
The motorcade stopped directly at the door of the prime minister's office. The red brick road spread to the gate of the dome building. The green vegetation and carved street lamps on both sides of the road seem to have a certain retro charm.
Before the motorcade arrived, Malay Prime Minister Razak personally came to the door, with his staff, very politely welcomed Jiang Chen into the official residence.
Walking to a reception room, the dark haired middle-aged man invited Jiang Chen to his 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. I don't know why.”
There was a thick white fog rising above the black tea. He didn't touch the cup of black tea. Jiang Chen opened the door and said to the mountain.
”For a win-win cooperation agreement.”
An expression of interest appeared on Razak's face.
”Oh? I don't know what kind of cooperation it is, but you came here in person. ”
”According to the annual electricity consumption of 18 years published by the Ministry of energy at the beginning of this year, the total power generation of your country last year was 224.3 billion kwh, and the average cost of electricity per kilowatt hour was 0.21 ringgit. Is the energy cost three points higher than that of the year before last?” Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
Razak nodded. ”It's true Are you worried that the energy situation in our country may affect the investment environment? You don't have to worry about this. We are backed by Singapore. Even if our electricity costs go up, other countries will only increase more than us, never less. ”
Because Singapore, which is backed by one of the world's three major oil refining bases, is also a major oil and gas exporter. Malaysia mainly focuses on thermal power generation, supplemented by wind and solar energy. Although the oil price is relatively cheap compared with other countries because of the low freight cost, the rise of oil price in recent years has still slightly raised the domestic electricity cost.
As early as 15 years ago, Malaysia proposed to build the first nuclear power plant in 2021. At that time, Russian state nuclear power enterprises participated in the bidding. However, due to the wave of domestic opposition, the site selection of nuclear power plant has not been finalized until now.
It can be said that the problem of electricity consumption has plagued Malaysia for many years, and it has never been completely solved.
Even if there is no report from the Malaysian Energy Bureau, Jiang Chen can clearly see this point from the financial report of the Ministry of industry of Xinma special economic zone. Changes in electricity prices will be directly reflected in the production costs of iron and steel plants and aluminum plants. In the future, almost all industries with high pollution and high demand for human resources will be built in Xinma special economic zone.
”But it's still a big problem, isn't it?”
He frowned a little. After pondering for a moment, lazak relaxed his brow and made a decision as if to say, ”we are willing to give a 5% discount to your industry in the power supply to the new Malaysia Special Economic Zone But you know that this special treatment is not convenient for the public, and you must fulfill the duty of confidentiality for this matter. ”
Jiang Chen shook his head.
”It's not a long-term solution.”
