Kuala Lumpur is the capital of Malaysia.
As the sky dimmed, a private jet docked on the runway of Kuala Lumpur International Airport. Four or five stretched Lincoln sedans were already waiting outside the special passage of the airport, and they were even protected by anti-terrorism agents.
This special passage is usually closed and is specially prepared for guests at the level of foreign prime ministers. However, at this moment, it was made an exception and opened to an entrepreneur with no official position. The Malay government welcomed this Chinese entrepreneur with the highest courtesy.
"Welcome to your visit, Mr. Jiang. As the Minister of International Trade and Industry of Malay, I sincerely thank you for your contribution to the Malay economy." In the car, Minister of International Trade and Industry Mustafa said politely Expressed his gratitude to him.
The Singapore-Malaysia District generates an annual output value of US$50 billion, accounting for almost one-eighth of the entire Malay GDP. Papua, which was originally a remote and remote province, suddenly became one of the major economic and industrial provinces in Malay with the most impressive financial reports. At least half of the output value is contributed to the Future Man Group's industry, and it's nothing more than Mustafa's enthusiasm.
The convoy quickly passed through this emerging international metropolis where Eastern colors and Western civilization are organically integrated, and headed for Putrajaya, 20 kilometers south of Kuala Lumpur. As early as more than ten years ago, the Prime Minister's Office and the Federal Administrative Center were moved here.
Compared to the bustling Kuala Lumpur, this place seems much quieter and low-key.
The motorcade stopped directly in front of the Prime Minister's Office. The red stone brick road spread all the way to the door of the dome building. The green vegetation and carved street lamps on both sides looked quite retro.
Before the motorcade arrived, Malay Prime Minister Razak came to the door in person, and with his staff, he politely welcomed Jiang Chen into the official residence.
Arriving at a reception room, the black-haired middle-aged man invited Jiang Chen to take a seat, and then ordered the assistant in the Prime Minister's Office to pour a cup of black tea for himself and Jiang Chen each.
"Mr. Jiang came all the way and you don't know why?"
There was a thick white mist rising above the black tea. Jiang Chen said straight to the point without touching the cup of black tea.
"For a win-win cooperation agreement."
An interested expression appeared on Razak's face.
"Oh? I don't know what kind of cooperation it is, but I actually asked you to come in person."
“According to the electricity consumption situation for 2018 announced by your country’s Ministry of Energy at the beginning of this year, your country’s total power generation last year was 224.3 billion kilowatt-hours, and the average cost per kilowatt hour was 0.21 ringgit. Energy costs increased by three times compared with the previous year. That's right, am I right?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
Razak nodded, "That's true... Are you worried that our country's energy situation may affect the investment environment? You don't have to worry about this at all. We have Singapore on our back. Even if our electricity costs rise, other countries The increase will only be greater than ours, definitely not less."
Because Singapore is backed by one of the world's three largest oil refining bases and is also a major exporter of oil and natural gas. Malaysia mainly relies on thermal power generation, supplemented by wind energy and solar energy. Although its oil prices are relatively cheap compared to other countries due to low freight costs, the increase in oil prices in recent years has still slightly increased its domestic electricity costs.
As early as about 15 years ago, Malaysia proposed to build its first nuclear power plant in 2021. At that time, the Russian National Nuclear Energy Corporation participated in the bidding, but due to a wave of domestic opposition, the location of the nuclear power plant has not been finalized until today.
It can be said that the electricity problem has plagued Malaysia for many years and has never been completely solved.
Even without the report from the Malaysian Energy Authority, Jiang Chen could clearly see this from the financial report of Future Heavy Industries in the New Matt District Industry Department. Changes in electricity prices will be directly reflected in the production costs of steel plants and aluminum plants. In the future, almost all industries with high pollution and high labor demand will be built in the New Matt District.
"But it's still a big problem, isn't it?"
His brows furrowed slightly. After pondering for a moment, Razak relaxed his brows and said as if he had made some kind of decision, "We are willing to contribute 100% to your industry in supplying power to the New Matt District." Five-fifths discount... But you know, it is not convenient to disclose this kind of special treatment, and you must fulfill the confidentiality responsibility for this matter."
Jiang Chen shook his head.
"This is not a long-term solution."
Razak was stunned for a moment, and then a look of displeasure appeared in his eyes. It can be said that he was quite sincere in being willing to make concessions on the unified electricity price. However, Jiang Chen rejected him without even thinking about it.
If the cooperative relationship between the two parties was not very important to the Malaysian economy, he would have turned his back long ago.
Jiang Chen saw the deep displeasure hidden on Razak's face, but he didn't explain anything and continued to speak with a smile.
"Seeking special consideration from you on electricity prices is not the reason why I came here today. Since the problem is between us, what we need to do is to solve the problem, rather than one party doing it." Give in, what do you think?"
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Razak was a little unsure of his decision.
Not seeking special treatment? Then why are you raising electricity prices? Could it be...
Suddenly, he guessed a possibility and looked at Jiang Chen in surprise. At this time, Jiang Chen spoke again.
"We have made a major breakthrough in power generation technology—"
Before Jiang Chen finished speaking, Razak said immediately.
"Is it nuclear power?"
Jiang Chen nodded and said, "It is indeed nuclear power."
"Although I personally hope that you will participate in the bidding for nuclear power projects, I have to remind you that Malaysia's nuclear power projects have not yet been able to solve the location problem. At least before 2025, the nuclear power plant project will not start construction." Zach shook his head.
"Although it is a nuclear power plant, it will not be built in your country." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Where is it built?" Razak frowned.
"Built in the sky," Jiang Chen pointed at the ceiling, "You only need a cable from Koro Island to the New Matt District, and you can enjoy cheap electricity."
"You mean to connect the power grids of Singapore and Malay? That's impossible." Razak shook his head. "The power grid involves national security. Although our diplomatic relations with Singapore are good, we don't have mutual trust enough to merge." The extent of the grid.”
"It's not a power grid, it's just a simple purchase and sale of electric energy," Jiang Chen spread his hands and persuaded, "Just like buying and selling natural gas, our electricity prices will be much cheaper than your domestic power generation costs."
Looking at Razak who was deep in thought, Jiang Chen continued.
"Don't you want to hear our offer first?"
"How many?"
"We only charge 0.05 ringgit for one kilowatt hour of electricity."
Jiang Chen's understatement set off such a storm in the mind of the Malay Prime Minister that he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
"Are you sure you didn't report an extra zero?",.
