Chapter 609 The energy industry costs a lot in the early stage

According to the final plan, Kirin Energy Industry Group will build an energy supply base in each province to supply energy for each province, including fuel oil and natural gas products.

The purpose of this is to save transportation costs, especially fuel oil, which is actually very high. If an energy base is built in a mid-point location in each province, it can be easily transported to every city in the province.

The same is true for natural gas. The cost of transporting gas from the energy base to every place in the province is much lower.

Moreover, such a decentralized construction model is also conducive to energy security. If a factory has a problem, it will only be affected locally, and other provinces will not be affected much.

Ye Zishu even wants to operate the production base of Kirin Grain and Oil Industry Group in this way, also in order to save transportation costs and maintain food security in each province.

The price of ordinary grain itself is not high. If it is transported by land, the cost may double, and the price on the market will be two to three times higher than the factory price.

In this case, it is better to build a production base in each province, so that the Kirin Grain and Oil Industry Group will leave more profits for itself. Even if the company does not make this profit, the end consumers will also benefit from it.

The most important thing is that with this setting, every province can get the benefits it deserves, and it will not cause excessive concentration of benefits due to excessive concentration of industrialization.

For example, Henan is originally a province with a large grain production and a large population, but because of the industrialized production model, their agricultural industry has suffered huge losses, which is a bit unacceptable to them.

If a grain and oil production base is built in HEN province, the tax will be paid locally, and the hired workers will give priority to the local people. For the local area, the overall loss will not be particularly large.

The basis of all these layouts is that energy is delivered to various provinces at a lower cost, so there is no problem for Kirin Energy Industry Group to build a backbone power transmission network all over the country.

Even after the backbone transmission network is completed, it can still provide electricity to the national grid, so they don't have to undertake the construction of the backbone transmission network themselves, and the cost of electricity for end consumers will further drop.

For example, the cost of solar power generation is calculated at 0.2 yuan, the on-grid electricity price is calculated at 0.3 yuan, the cost of the backbone transmission network is calculated at 0.1 yuan, and the terminal power transmission responsible for the grid is calculated at 0.1 yuan.

In this way, when it reaches the end user, the final electricity price is 0.5 yuan, which can ensure that all links in the entire power supply chain can make money.

Even because of the difference in the cost of electricity for industrial and commercial use, the cost of electricity for residents will be lower. It may only cost 0.3 yuan or 0.4 yuan to buy a kilowatt-hour of electricity.

This is calculated according to the normal electricity price. For several special industries under the Kirin Industrial Group, the electricity fee will not be calculated according to this price.

First of all, ordinary grain production will not be calculated according to this electricity price, which will reduce the cost of intermediate transmission and reduce the overall cost of grain production enterprises.

Although it is left-handed and right-handed, it is not exactly the same. Ordinary grain production is not taxed. Leaving profits for grain production can not only improve the competitiveness of the grain industry, but also pay less tax.

Qilin Grain and Oil Industry Group's competitors have never been domestic farmers, but foreign grain merchants. How to make the grain produced by itself have international competitiveness is particularly important.

For example, the price of international rice is usually about 1 yuan per catty. If the cost of electricity is calculated according to the grid price, the Kylin Grain and Oil Industry Group will not make money at all, and the cost per catty will reach 1.25 yuan.

In fact, the normal market price of major grain crops is around 1 yuan per catty, so the Kylin Grain and Oil Industry Group must ensure that the prices of all kinds of grains it produces are below 1 yuan per catty.

Not to mention that the State Grid wants to make money from it, even the Kirin Energy Industry Group cannot make money from the power transmission business, basically providing electricity to the Kirin Grain and Oil Industry Group at the on-grid tariff.

If electricity is supplied according to the on-grid electricity price, the minimum ex-factory price per catty of grain is about 0.75 yuan per catty. In fact, this price is only slightly competitive.

The idea is very good, but it’s just how the money comes, not to mention the funds for the construction of solar power stations. The plan has been made before, and 100 billion yuan is invested in the construction of solar power stations every year.

However, the construction of the backbone network of the smart grid is a huge sum of money, especially after the use of superconducting transmission lines, the cost will also rise accordingly.

The length of the backbone transmission network alone will reach more than 500,000 kilometers. Based on the construction cost of 5 million yuan per kilometer, the total cost has reached 2.5 trillion yuan.

In fact, the construction kilometers of the secondary backbone network will be higher, and may need about 5 million kilometers, but Kirin Energy Industry Group does not plan to intervene in the construction of such transmission networks.

On the one hand, they really have no money, and they have to pay for the construction costs themselves, and cannot rely on bank loans or financial support. It is not cost-effective to build this kind of secondary backbone network.

On the other hand, they have not obtained the terminal power distribution license, so naturally they do not need to undertake the construction of the secondary backbone transmission network. According to the principle of who benefits, it should not be constructed by Kirin Energy Industrial Company.

At the meeting, the management of Kylin Energy Industry Group raised this issue. According to their power generation plan, the construction of a first-level backbone power transmission network covering the whole country needs to be completed within 5 years.

This means that at least 500 billion yuan has to be invested in it every year. Anyway, they feel that they cannot afford this cost. In the initial stage of solar power generation, they only have to invest, and the output will continue to be invested, so they will not make much money.

What they mean is very clear, that is, they want him, the boss, to solve the financial problem, and the sum is not a decimal.

After hearing this, Ye Zishu also thought about this issue. The current Kirin Energy Industrial Group alone must not have the ability to bear the cost of this investment.

Then we can only get money to invest from other sources, one is to borrow money from external brother companies such as Taiji Group, and the other is to solve it internally by Kirin Industry Group.

He didn't quite agree with the first method of obtaining funds. In the initial stage of Qilin Industrial Group, borrowing money was justified, and he believed that he would be able to repay the money in the future.

At present, many industries within Kirin Industrial Group have been put into production, and have passed the initial stage. Being able to generate profits by themselves, and then relying on external financial support, will make Kirin Industrial Group's internal giant baby.

It is necessary to put a certain amount of pressure on all the companies under the Kirin Industrial Group. Don't ask for money from the outside at every turn, but focus on yourself and work hard to make more money for yourself.

Therefore, he personally prefers the second method, which is the internal solution of Kirin Industrial Group, and there are actually only a few companies under Kirin Industrial Group that can generate profits in the short term.

The fastest one should be Kirin Textile Industry Group. Although the competition in this market is relatively fierce, but with the advantages of technology and cost, if it really wants to dump at a low price, no one can really stop it.

It's just that they don't want to do this, but want to rely on building a brand to maintain a high profit margin. This is a more difficult way of doing business, but no matter what, the annual profit is definitely not low.

The second is Kirin Paper Industry Company. The reason why they will definitely make money is the same as above. The technical advantages and cost advantages are here, and it is just a matter of earning more and less.

The third is Kirin Grain and Oil Industry Group. Ye Shu is not sure how strong their grain management capabilities are, but the edible oil business should shine.

Competitors can be eliminated by relying on cost advantages. Of course, the premise is to solve the problem of user trust. After all, food is different from daily necessities, and consumers are still very cautious.

Even if their grain and edible oil have passed the most stringent component testing and passed the safety monitoring and approval of various countries, many users will have concerns about this.

In fact, industrial production of these products is safer than natural production, because it can avoid the harm caused by natural environmental pollution.

Finally, there is the Kylin Timber Industry Group, a group company rarely mentioned before, which may be one of the companies that can turn over profits.

The company's business is also very simple, that is, research and development and production of various wood products, and is also responsible for the development of the furniture industry. The business is relatively simple.

As mentioned earlier, precious woods such as huanghuali, nanmu, Guyi sumu, and red sandalwood can be mass-produced in Qilin Wood Industry Group.

In order to allow the wood they produce to truly restore the natural components, Leaf Book does not provide a chemical synthesis method, because chemical synthesis cannot synthesize plant cells.

Therefore, part of the technology provided by Leaf Book is plant cell cultivation technology. Although it is not a particularly advanced biological cell cultivation technology in his opinion, it is definitely a top-level technology in this era.

With this technology, Kylin Wood Industry Group can artificially produce any wood, but the cost and price are very low, which is one-fifth of natural wood, or even lower.

And the wood produced is better, because they can realize directional production, and what they produce are not logs, but boards of various standard sizes.

In addition, they have also mastered the chemical synthesis technology and molding technology of wood fiber, which allows them to produce many high-performance wood fiber materials that are not found in nature.

This is why they want to enter the furniture industry, because they have unique advantages. As long as they do a good job in the development of the furniture market and brand management, they will definitely be able to beat global furniture companies.

If you want to have enough profits to support the development of Kirin Energy Industry Group in the short term, you have to rely on these group companies to contribute profits. As for other group companies, the money they earn needs to maintain their own operations.

Fortunately, Kirin Energy Industry Group does not need to spend so much money now. It only needs to spend about 100 billion yuan on the construction of backbone transmission lines next year. It only needs to cover the industrial layout of the three provinces of Hunan, Jiangxi and Hubei.
