Chapter 272 The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!
"A hydroelectric power station?"
On the evening of the 8th, Tang Yichen had just arrived home for more than half an hour.
In the villa that had not been renovated but restored, Tang Xionghua thought about the feasibility of this method after hearing Tang Yichen's reminder.
In fact, these days, he also remembered the great flood in 1998 that Tang Yichen had mentioned to him once.
At that time, the father and son also said that after making money, they would help repair the river embankment in their hometown.
However, they were always busy and were rarely at home. They forgot about this matter for a while and did not put it on the agenda.
These days, news about floods and waterlogging disasters is everywhere.
How could Tang Xionghua and his son still not think about this?
After thinking for a moment, Tang Xionghua looked at Tang Yichen again: "Are you sure this kind of project can be built by us privately?"
Although Tang Xionghua is the richest man now, the richest man is not omnipotent.
In this era, due to the limitations of information exchange, even if he was the richest man, he could not know as much as an ordinary person in later generations who could use a mobile phone to surf the Internet.
After all, I have never come into contact with this kind of thing.
It can be regarded as touching his blind spot in knowledge.
"Yes, I'm sure!" Tang Yichen nodded heavily.
Then Tang Yichen spoke again: "In fact, if you want to confirm Dad, just give him a call and ask.
I also estimate that if news of this kind of project, which benefits both the country and the people, were to be released, relevant departments across the country would rush to visit Wanhua."
This is also a project that stimulates investment, and many of the workers recruited for this type of project are local.
Paying them wages will generate income for the local area, and the hydropower station will be built in the future.
It can also greatly alleviate the local electricity consumption situation.
You have to know that this is not after 1998.
Although the Three Gorges Dam is under construction now, it will still take many years before it can generate electricity.
Nationwide, at this time, many rural areas actually still do not have electricity.
If Tang Yichen remembered correctly, the country only succeeded in achieving electrification in every village before the millennium.
And now there are still four years until the millennium.
During this period, not to mention electricity being available nationwide, even in many rural areas, the power supply was intermittent.
Because of insufficient power.
"Okay, I'll go ask now!"
When one reaches Tang Xionghua's level, he is not afraid of disturbing others even if he calls in the middle of the night.
What's more, it's not even eight o'clock in the evening.
"Ok!"
Tang Yichen nodded, and Tang Xionghua didn't leave. He took out his cell phone and made a call.
"This is our Chuzhou's Secretary General. I don't know who to contact for the water conservancy project, so I'll go to him first. It's the right thing to do!"
When making the call, Tang Xionghua explained to Tang Yichen. Soon, the call was connected. There was only a table between them, and the room was very quiet. Tang Yichen could naturally hear the voice on the other end of the phone, which was very polite and accompanied by a hearty smile.
The call didn't last too long, just two or three minutes, and then the phone was hung up. The other party didn't ask Tang Xionghua to ask anything himself, but said he would help ask and call back after he was done.
Tang Yichen and his son are now accustomed to this attitude and don't think it's a big deal. However, if outsiders knew about this, there would be a lot of grumbling.
After all, this person is not Wanhua's secretary, but Chuzhou's secretary-general, and is considered a big shot in the entire province.
Belong to the real powerful class.
A few minutes later, the phone rang again.
The other party told Tang Xionghua that it was no problem, private individuals could indeed build hydropower stations, and there were actually some small private hydropower stations in various places across the country.
"Mr. Tang, you are truly a responsible entrepreneur.
However, sometimes, with great power comes great responsibility.
Mr. Tang, you can't just focus on your hometown.
Southern Anhui is such a large area, but there are still many places affected by disasters this year.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, so Mr. Tang..."
On the other end of the phone, the Secretary General sounded serious and had something to say.
The meaning is very clear.
Because Tang Xionghua just told him that he wanted to do something because he saw how serious the flood disaster was and how difficult it was for the people.
Ask whether private enterprises can build reservoirs and dams to regulate water levels.
Of course, as an entrepreneur, the company does not belong to him alone, so the investment must have some profit. So he wondered if he could build a power station at the same time as building the dam!
Now, all of this is fine.
But the secretary general thought that Tang Xionghua only wanted to build a house in his hometown, and only one at that.
After all, he didn't know much about reservoirs, and didn't know how much investment was needed or how long it would take to get his money back.
That's why he said that. His meaning was very clear. He wanted Tang Xionghua to contribute more money and effort, to build more, and to build more in southern Anhui.
If it really works, then as the person who contacted Tang Xionghua and the person who said this, he will definitely be the first to contribute to Tang Xionghua's future investments.
Of course, Tang Xionghua doesn't care about these.
Tang Xionghua immediately said with a smile: "Haha! Don't worry, this time, if it is confirmed, my investment will not only focus on my hometown. However, I will inform you of the details after the meeting here!"
From the very beginning, Tang Xionghua and Tang Yichen had never considered investing in this in the name of their family company.
The money required is too much and my family company doesn’t have it!
Moreover, Wanhua still has 1 billion yuan in gold. It would be best to use it.
Not all of it is needed. Tang Yichen estimates that 500 to 700 million MiGold would be enough to make a great contribution to the flood in 1998.
Of course, if possible, Tang Yichen would also like to invest all the 1 billion yuan in it.
But this is not possible.
Wanhua is not just the Wanhua of the Tang family.
Moreover, Wanhua also needs to keep a certain amount of cash for emergencies.
It is impossible for Tang Xionghua to invest all his money into the project just because he feels that it will benefit the country and the people and he can make money.
If he really did this, not only would the shareholders not agree, even if they agreed, Tang Xionghua would not dare to do it!
Even though all the cash flow has been consumed, Wanhua is still investing everywhere.
If something goes wrong and money is needed but there is no cash, the cash flow will be broken.
Wanhua cannot afford that situation.
On the 9th, the board meeting lasted the whole morning.
On the 10th, Xiong Xiaoge and other investment company presidents came to Chuzhou in person to hold another board meeting.
In the middle of the meeting, Tang Xionghua made phone calls to relevant departments of Chuzhou and even contacted domestic water conservancy experts.
At the same time, Xiong Xiaoge and others also contacted some foreign experts to inquire about the situation.
The meeting didn't end until 5:01 pm.
a whole day.
But the result is good.
The board of directors agreed to allocate 700 million yuan to invest in the hydropower station.
The main point that impressed everyone was the operating life of the hydropower stations, which is fifty years for small and medium-sized ones and more than a hundred years for large ones.
Several domestic and foreign experts contacted by the board of directors confirmed that this type of water conservancy project has great potential.
It can also serve as a long-term investment cornerstone for a company.
Continuous blood supply in the future is considered a good business.
After all, as far as we can see now, the entire world will absolutely be inseparable from electricity in the future, and the demand will only get higher and higher.
Therefore, the 700 million yuan can be obtained so easily.
