Richard's heart felt like an electric current surged through him, sinking directly to the bottom, and his face quickly turned pale.

He carried the board of directors on his back, nodded and hunched like a dog, and contacted various consortiums privately.

The large consortiums who learned this news obviously did not take his small role seriously, but directly contacted the company's board of directors.

Although, in the ruthless capital society, there is not much loyalty at all.

But being exposed like this to his face and having a big "traitor" label attached to him still made the shameless Richard feel very embarrassed.

The door of the conference room opened, and the chairman appeared at the door with a smile:

"Mr. Richard, please come in. We are exchanging some opinions with the joint representative of several consortiums, Mr. Sheehan, on the matter of solar power plants."

"I hope you can provide us with more reasonable suggestions."

Richard looked into the chairman's eyes and felt a bone-chilling chill behind his warm smile.

He calmed down, walked slowly into the conference room, and nodded politely to the board members present.

The atmosphere in the conference room became a little weird, and the eyes of several company shareholders flickered.

Richard felt that he was being targeted by a poisonous snake, but the company directors did not show much anger, but looked at him with a pitiful and mocking look.

Sitting across from the company directors at the long oval conference table is a joint lineup.

Among these people, he at least found representatives from Rockefeller, First Citigroup, and the DuPont consortium.

They all looked at him with fake smiles, which seemed very polite, but made him feel sick.

A middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a dark gray suit, stood up and stretched out his hand: "Mr. Richard? Hello, I'm Sean, nice to meet you!"

Richard was shocked and a little confused.

Of course he knew this person. When he secretly reported to the Rockefeller Foundation, it was Mr. Sheehan who personally received him.

But is his current statement indicating that he does not want to reveal his private contacts with the consortium?

He breathed a sigh of relief, pretended to be calm, and stretched out his hand with some hesitation: "Hello, Mr. Sheehan, it is a great honor to receive you here."

The two exchanged hypocritical politeness, and Sean introduced to him the few people who came with him, all of whom were representatives of the American energy field and large conglomerates.

After a while of greetings, Richard carefully sat down next to the chairman, having decided in his heart that he would watch more, listen more, and talk less.

"So, since you have expressed considerable interest in our solar power station plan, how much money are you prepared to invest in our project?" The chairman asked a board member after everyone sat down.

core issues of concern.

Paper cannot cover the fire. Now that these consortiums know it, there is no point in keeping it secretive.

Although the original plan was not to directly contact the consortium, it was only a matter of time before they found out.

What's ridiculous is that the general manager of his own company actually went to collude with other consortiums. This is really a stupid joke.

In this case, according to the boss's plan, it is not an injustice to Richard to be the scapegoat.

Xion exchanged glances with several consortium representatives around him, showed a faint smile, and said: "Mr. Thomas, in fact, our visit this time is just our first contact with you."

"We are more interested in the company that can commercialize and supply solar cells. If you are willing..."

"Of course not!"

Chairman Thomas refused without any intention of discussing.

Seeing his attitude, Xion and others were not discouraged, but continued to smile and said: "Mr. Thomas, I think you should be very clear about the specific situation."

"The comprehensive electricity cost of the concentrated solar cell array you provided is indeed very attractive."

"However, the construction investment of up to 300 million US dollars per square kilometer is also very staggering. One hundred square kilometers is only enough to consume the electricity of New York City."

"Moreover, you probably know the shortcomings of solar energy better than I do. When day and night alternate..."

"We plan to use flywheel energy storage to solve the problem of day and night energy storage!" Another company director rudely interrupted what he was about to say.

"This technology, after decades of development, can be fully applied in practice."

"Use the electric energy generated by solar energy to drive a high-strength carbon material flywheel to rotate at an extremely high speed. When the sun loses rays at night, the gradually slowing flywheel drives the motor through potential energy, providing a continuous supply of electricity."

"Flywheel energy storage equipment of 500,000 kilowatts is already in ready supply. Only three sets per square kilometer need to be installed, which is enough."

Xion always had a standardized smile on his face. After waiting patiently for him to finish, he said: "Indeed, you have proposed a very perfect solution."

“But the problem is that the total investment in power plants is too huge!”

"With an investment of US$300 million per square kilometer, to be honest, no consortium would be willing to pay a bill of hundreds of billions of dollars for it!"

"But the solar power plant we built can solve 70% of the electricity demand in the United States!" the director shouted.

"The cost is less than one cent. Even if we sell it for eight cents or five cents, we can get five times the return!"

"We can let you enjoy 50% of the profit share!"

Ha ha ha ha!

The consortium representatives looked at each other and laughed in unison.

Childish! How can they possibly pay their bills, which run into the hundreds of billions of dollars, especially now when oil energy is at such a high level.

The characteristic of capital is to completely squeeze out the value of any commodity.

Before this, they were indifferent to other technologies no matter how good or attractive they were.

And before they get the last bit of reward, any person or company that wants to stop them from making a fortune will be ruthlessly obliterated by them.

There won't be any mercy.

Secondly, they are not here to discuss buying shares and dividends at all.

Their purpose is simple.

The goal is to find a company that can provide cheap solar panels, acquire and annex it, obtain the other party's technology, and firmly hold it in your hands.

As for whether to use it later or throw it in the laboratory's information cabinet, they will consider it based on market changes.

If they can't acquire it, they will use some extraordinary means.

After all, in this world, there is something called "accident".

There is another thing called "accident".

And there is a saying that money can make the world go round.

Finally, even if the consortium is really interested in the construction of this power plant, the mere 50% dividend... still shouldn't make them laugh out loud.
Chapter completed!
