Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Through chatting with little Hector in the morning, Bao Zixuan learned that the power supply in the Middle East was not very sufficient. Not to mention the Middle East, the power supply in China was also very tight at this time. Some areas experience power outages even during the Chinese New Year, which shows how serious the power shortage is.

When I heard that Bao Zixuan said that he wanted to increase investment in Jordan, Bao Zixuan's character would never act blindly. He must have found some good projects before he decided to increase investment.

Said said: "Bao, if you have any good projects, think of us; I will spare no effort to support national construction."

Bao Zixuan: "During my inspection today, I found that the power supply in Amman is not sufficient. If a large factory is built without sufficient power supply, it will be a very troublesome matter, and it will even affect the entire industrial process."

They heard it was a power problem, but in fact they had been worried about it for a long time. It's just that I haven't found a good solution. Now that Bao Zixuan has brought it up, it's time to listen to his opinion as a professional.

According to several members of the royal family, any questions that arise in the industry can be asked to Bao Zixuan. After all, he is the most authoritative person in the world. His article on Industry 4.0 is still a textbook in major universities and it is estimated that it will not be outdated in the next few decades.

Hussein ibn Talal: "We know what you said, but we don't have the best solution yet for what kind of power plant Jordan will build."

"Thermal power does not have enough coal resources, and the cost of transportation will be very high. Hydropower has no solution at all. After all, Jordan is one of the countries that lacks fresh water resources in the world. As for nuclear power, the Arab region is under absolute blockade among the world's major powers. It’s impossible to do it at all. The conditions and technologies for other energy power generation are not very mature yet, so we also know that this seriously restricts Jordan’s economic development.”

Bao Zixuan did not expect that this king was quite familiar with the current situation of the country. It seemed that he had actually done market research and must have consulted experts to discuss this issue.

Bao Zixuan: "Your Majesty the King, have you ever heard of gas-fired power generation?"

Hussein ibn Talal: "Of course I have heard of it, but doesn't it mean that the technology is not very mature yet!"

Bao Zixuan: "That's because foreign manufacturers don't want the price of natural gas to rise. If natural gas is also used for power generation, the price of coal will definitely fall to the bottom."

"The so-called gas power generation is the process of using natural gas or other combustible gases to generate electricity."

“Since gas turbines entered the stage of the power generation industry in the 1950s, their power generation efficiency and thermal efficiency have been greatly improved. In particular, gas-steam combined cycle units have become increasingly mature. The single power of gas turbines has exceeded 334MW, and the thermal efficiency has reached 35%. ~41.92%, while the single unit power of the combined cycle unit has reached 489.3MW, and the thermal efficiency has exceeded 60%, providing technical support for the improvement of the status of gas-fired power generation in the power system."

"The experience of European and American countries shows that from the perspective of safety and peak shaving requirements, it is necessary to install gas turbine generator sets with a power share of 8% to 10% in the power grid. The peak-to-valley difference of the power grid in many areas of our country is quite different, and it is urgent to start Gas turbines and their combined cycles that are fast, have good peak-shaving performance and short construction periods can meet the needs of construction, especially in open coastal areas."

"Natural gas combined cycle power generation combines clean natural gas and high efficiency of combined cycle. It has many advantages and has become the most popular practical power generation technology in the world today."

I heard that gas-fired power generation has so many advantages, but European and American countries clearly have such technology but do not allow it to be used by Middle Eastern countries. Isn’t this a clear statement that we don’t want natural gas to completely replace coal? It’s a disguised trick to trick them!

In fact, it is not just a problem in the Middle East, but the Soviet Union is also involved in their calculations. If raising the price of oil and natural gas is equivalent to giving blood to the Soviets, the Americans, who are bent on weakening the Soviet economy, will not agree. This is also the reason why oil prices were very stable before the collapse of the Soviet Union, and even if there were fluctuations, they would soon subside.

Hussein Ibn Talal: "Although gas-fired power generation has so many advantages, it is useless without technology."

Bao Zixuan: "You don't have to worry about technology. Heiyun Group can completely solve technical problems."

Everyone present was excited when they heard this. Electricity has always been a problem restricting the development of Jordan. If Bao Zixuan can really solve the electricity problem, then he will be the benefactor of Jordan as a whole.

If this technology is successfully promoted, the entire Middle East will not be troubled by insufficient power supply. This cake is a bit too big. Bao Zixuan is worried that he won't be able to eat it alone, or he might be able to get the Soviets to stand together, but when they disintegrate, he will probably be unlucky. If he doesn't handle it well, he may fall into a situation of no return. .

At present, it is feasible to carry out small-scale promotion in Jordan. There are few resources here and it is a place that the United States does not like. Until you are sure, you still cannot enter the traditional sphere of influence of the United States such as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Then it will be difficult to stay alone.

Hussein Ibn Talal: "If Black Cloud can really solve the technical problems of gas-fired power generation, I can guarantee that this set of equipment will receive an unimaginable number of orders throughout the Middle East."

These people in the Middle East are very wealthy, especially the major oil-producing countries. Saudi Arabia has money but has to force the purchase of U.S. Treasury bonds, which is also an act of cutting off leeks.

However, the infrastructure construction in these countries is in a mess, and even the most basic power supply cannot be met. This is not an ancient society where people can overcome without electricity. At this time, electricity has been used for 100 years, and people's life without electricity would be very inconvenient.

Bao Zixuan: "Your Majesty the King, do you know about ground effect aircraft?"

Although Hussein ibn Talal didn't understand what this matter was about the ground-effect aircraft, since Bao Zixuan asked, he must have a reason. So he replied: "Of course I know. Isn't that the latest product developed by Heiyun? Is there a relationship between ground-effect aircraft and gas turbines?"

Bao Zixuan: "The Xiangjiang Monster ground-effect aircraft uses a Black Cloud three-rotor turbojet engine. It is technically much more complicated than a gas generator wheel set, so you don't have to worry about it technically. I guarantee that it will be in the power plant's workshop." After the construction is completed, the gas turbine unit can be installed immediately without any delay."

Hussein ibn Talal was very happy when he heard Bao Zixuan say that there were no technical problems. If it were possible to use natural gas to generate electricity then there would be no more problems with electricity throughout the Middle East. Jordan has the smallest natural gas reserves among several countries, but it is also a major exporter. You can imagine how rich the natural gas reserves are in other Middle Eastern countries.

At this time, the palace steward said that it was time to sit down at the table. Needless to say, it was still a roasted whole camel. I guess there isn’t much food available in the Middle East, but the only regret is that I can’t drink alcohol. After all, we were in a royal palace, so Bao Zixuan couldn't be too presumptuous.

It was Said who drove Bao Zixuan back to his residence. Although he was not very happy that this young man wanted to go to Israel to inspect the king, he knew that you couldn't stop him, so it was better to let people go there openly.

As long as Heiyun Group can overcome the technical problems of gas power generation, then let alone go to Israel, or even marry his daughter to him.

On the way back, Said said excitedly: "Bao, there is really no problem with gas-fired power generation technology."

Bao Zixuan: "Don't worry, I still have some confidence in this. However, this matter can only be tried out in Jordan at present, and it should not be promoted to other Arab countries in the short term."

Hussein, who is sitting next to him, is a member of the UAE royal family. Although he is related to the Jordanian royal family, Jordan cannot take advantage of things that can bring benefits to his country.

Hussein: "Bao, why can't we promote it to other Arab countries? That would lose a lot of benefits."

Bao Zixuan: "Not letting the price of natural gas rise is not only a concern for the Middle East countries, but the most important thing is that the United States wants to deal with the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union basically has nothing to sell except the export of oil, natural gas, titanium alloys, and military products. If large-scale The use of natural gas to generate electricity will inevitably lead to price increases, and then the economic situation of the Soviets will improve, and many American plans will come to nothing. If we really destroy the Americans' plans, will they make it easier for us?"

The two people here didn't say anything. After all, although making money is important, compared with life, money becomes dispensable. They have too many ways to make money and there is no need to do such risky things.
