Chapter 583 [Inspect Lamma Island! 】

In the meeting room of the Hongkong Electric Group, Wu Guangyao methodically planned the future development of the Hongkong Electric;

Whether it is the management of the ghost or the Chinese management, the expression on the face shows that everyone has full trust in Wu Guangyao!

Currently, the Hongkong Electric Group has opened up four businesses: electric power, electric power engineering, electrical appliance retail, and real estate;

The time is right, Wu Guangyao will set up another Hongkong Electric International Co., Ltd. (Hongkong Electric International);

Hongkong Electric International is responsible for the group’s international investment business, investing in power plants, power distribution networks and other power supply facilities overseas and on the mainland.

The general plan of the entire company is already in Wu Guangyao's mind;

So, in the eyes of outsiders, Wu Guangyao has a confident attitude!

The next day, Wu Guangyao, accompanied by a group of high-level staff from Hongkong Electric, took a yacht and came to Lamma Island for inspection.

Lamma Island is Hong Kong’s third largest island, second only to Lantau Island and Hong Kong Island (the main island) in area. Since the island is located in the south of Hong Kong, it is shaped like the Chinese character "丫", so it was named "Lamma Island" and gradually replaced the name "Bo Liao Chau".

Ignoring the mud on the dock, Wu Guangyao took the lead and walked ahead, watching the busy workers and machines in the distance;

Martin introduced later: "Boss, according to your instructions, the agreement we signed with the Hong Kong government is for an area of ​​60 hectares; however, this is the only place suitable for building a power plant-called Pineapple Mouth; in other places, Shantai High and difficult to level; even this place requires 20 hectares of sea to be reclaimed to make up 60 hectares of flat land."

Wu Guangyao nodded. Reclamation is a very common thing in Hong Kong. The process of reclamation started as early as the last century;

And Wu Guangyao specifically urged the high-level HEC to apply to the Hong Kong Government for a land area greater than 50 hectares, preferably 60 hectares;

After all, the Hongkong Electric is a public livelihood company, and the Lamma Island is far away from the island. Naturally, the Hong Kong Government will not be stingy with a paper of approval.

"There should be no problem with the 10-year construction period, right?" Wu Guangyao asked.

In the original history, the Lamma Island Power Plant was divided into three phases, with a construction period of up to 20 years;

Now that Wu Guangyao is the boss, it is naturally impossible to be so slow;

First of all, Wu Guangyao knew that Guangdong Province was short of electricity in the 1980s and 1990s, so he planned to export electricity to Guangdong Province;

Secondly, after the construction of Lamma Island is completed, HK Electric will immediately leave Hong Kong Island to invest in Southeast Asia, Australia, and the United Kingdom, and build power plants and transmission and distribution networks.

Martin nodded and said, "No problem! However, Lamma Island is designed with an installed capacity of 5,000 megawatts, and it will be completed in ten years; I am more worried that the electricity consumption of the island will not use such a large amount of electricity at all; Even if we can want to supply electricity in Guangdong Province, but there are no industries in the Mainland, I am afraid that we don't need too much electricity!"

Martin’s worries are not unreasonable. The total installed capacity of the Lamma Island Power Plant in the past was only 3,500 MW, and the third phase of the project was completed in 20 years.

Is Wu Guangyao really practicing ‘***’?

In fact, this is not the case, because no one can predict that the mainland will end the catastrophe this year, the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone will be established in the 1980s, and there will be a large number of power shortages in the 1980s and 1990s;

Only Wu Guangyao can clearly know!

Currently, the planned installed capacity of Lamma Island is:

The first phase of the project, four 350 MW coal-fired generating units;

The second phase of the project, four 350 MW coal-fired generating sets, four 125 MW oil-fired generating sets;

The third phase of the project, four 350 MW coal-fired generating sets, three 125 MW oil-fired generating sets;

The total installed capacity is 5,000 MW, the hourly power generation is 5 million kWh, the theoretical power generation is 120 million kWh per day, and the annual theoretical power generation is 43.2 billion kWh;

Of course, these are all theories, and the generator set cannot operate 24 hours a day;

The actual power generation should be about 40% of the theoretical power generation, that is to say, the annual power generation of Lamma Island can reach 17 billion kWh;

As far as Wu Guangyao knows, in the 21st century, Hong Kong’s annual electricity consumption should be 50 billion kWh;

In other words, Lamma Island meets the island’s electricity consumption, which can only be said to be so-so.

Of course, these are the electricity consumption in the 21st century;

In the 1980s and 1990s, the island’s electricity consumption was far less than that of the 21st century.

But plan the future first, then, you won’t regret the beginning!

"You can’t be wrong to listen to me! In fifty years, can you expect Hong Kong in the seventies? In the eighties, every household had televisions, washing machines, air conditioners and other electrical appliances, and commercial neon lights illuminate the whole In Hong Kong, all kinds of factories stay awake all night; this is the trend of the times, and it changes every day."

If it weren’t for Wu Guangyao’s words, it’s someone else who is ranting;

Martin believes in himself, he will not believe it!

However, now I have a bit of faith!

"The boss is right! We are divided into three phases of the project, and we can also make some fine-tuning according to the actual situation!" Martin reserved some possibilities.

Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "After the first phase of the project here is put into use, we can negotiate with the Hong Kong government to encourage citizens to use electricity; the higher the electricity consumption, the cheaper the price, which can also promote electricity consumption."

Martin's eyes are bright, this is a good countermeasure!

There is no need to worry about the construction cost of the Lamma Island power plant;

Like this kind of public utility company, the profit is controlled by the Hong Kong government;

Specify a percentage of profit, and the part exceeding this profit will be included in a government-set fund;

If the company's profit does not meet the target, you can apply for compensation from the fund;

If you need a large investment, you can also apply to the Hong Kong government to use this fund.

Furthermore, the profitability of the HEC is stable, and the bank is willing to lend to the HEC;

Therefore, even if the Ap Lei Chau Power Plant is still under construction and the Lamma Island Power Plant is being built, such a large expenditure can be turned on for the HEC.

Next, Wu Guangyao pointed to those wearing safety helmets and said: "These technicians and project managers can be trained and managed well for me; after the power plants here are built, we will go to Southeast Asia to build power plants; When the Hongkong Electric goes out, it is worthy of the word "group"!"

Why Martin surrendered to Wu Guangyao? To put it bluntly, Wu Guangyao is a natural leader, and everything he does is big plans and big projects;

So, with such a boss, there is hope!

If the Hongkong Electric Group can become a multinational group, then the president himself will have more weight;

It is important that senior managers like Martin buy some company stocks.

Wu Guangyao took a group of executives into the construction site, and Wu Guangyao asked again: "It seems that there are not enough workers!"

Martin hurriedly said: "It's a bit, still recruiting! Now Hong Kong Island is short of construction workers, they are looting everywhere!"

Wu Guangyao was taken aback, and then understood the reason!

Since the second half of 1975, keen real estate developers have known that the storm has almost passed, and real estate will usher in a rising wave again!

As a result of the large number of construction sites, workers will naturally be in strong demand!

For this reason, people who come from the opposite side have a high chance of staying on Hong Kong Island!

Wu Guangyao said: "Sell those contractors to get people in the New Territories!"

Martin nodded and said, "Well, I will recruit all the workers as soon as possible."

The entire construction site is very large, and half of the mountains must be cut off before reclaiming the sea;

The other side of the mountain range is a residential area on Lamma Island. Chow Yun-fat was born on Lamma Island.
