Zhao Ye's words made Lu Weimin suddenly remember something, and made him think deeply.

Shanghai Electric is the largest and most important conventional energy and new energy equipment manufacturing company in China. It has been quite confident in the nuclear power field, and the rapid progress of the domestic nuclear power market has also made the nuclear power industry a hot commodity, causing domestic and foreign countries to

The coveted giants, Japan's Toshiba and Mitsubishi, the United States, Areva of France, Germany's Siemens, and domestic Shanghai Electric and Oriental Electric all grind their fists and hands.

When did Toshiba Japan acquire Westinghouse Electric? Lu Weimin worked hard to think about it, it seemed to be in the second half of 2005.

I remember that at that time, Westinghouse Electric's parent company, the British Nuclear Fuel Company, intended to sell Westinghouse Electric's equity. As a result, Japan's Toshiba Company was quite sensitive to the huge potential market for China's nuclear power development, so it spent a huge amount of money to defeat themselves and US$41.6 billion.

The United States Ge's consortium exclusively purchased 77% of Westinghouse Electric's equity and controlled Westinghouse Electric in one fell swoop, thus gaining the ultimate voice in China's nuclear power technology market.

More than a year later, Westinghouse Electric, controlled by Japan Toshiba, won a US$8 billion contract in the Chinese domestic market. This contract alone is enough to make Japan Toshiba make a fortune, making the US ge jealous.

On the one hand, they gritted their teeth for Toshiba, and on the other hand, they admired their grasp and control of the Chinese market. After all, they realized that even if they took Westinghouse Electric, they might not be able to get from China so cleanly

A person has won such a big contract.

According to Lu Weimin's understanding, the US government was initially dissatisfied with Japan's Toshiba exclusive holdings Westinghouse Electric. It once put pressure on the UK to test drives. After the US Ge consortium was disbanded due to the failure of the first round of competition, it forced the UK to agree to conduct the

In the second round of bidding, in order not to anger the American master, Japan had to make Toshiba and the American Ge form a joint bid. As a result, Toshiba Japan had no intention of jointly bidding with the United States, and formed a joint bid with the United States.

, while bidding alone, the bid was much higher than the price of the consortium, and finally won it in one fell swoop, which made the US Ge extremely dissatisfied. However, after all, it was a market behavior and things were final. The US Shawg Meat P company also obtained 20% of the equity.

, it was considered to have given Americans some face, and this matter was considered to be a conclusion.

Seeing that Lu Weimin seemed a little distracted, Zhao Ye was a little unhappy. Why is this guy so rude? The first time I met and talked, I was about to say something, but Lu Weimin had already woken up and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao. I suddenly thought of something.

What's the matter?"

"Oh, what can suddenly arouse Secretary Lu's thoughts?" Zhao Ye didn't care when he saw the other party apologizing, and said with a smile.

"Well. Mr. Zhao, don't say anything. This news may have some meaning to you." Lu Weimin knew that Zhao Ye is a member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee of Shanghai Electric Group and the Executive Vice President. He is also considered to be one of the Shanghai Electric Group's own.

The role of a certain right to speak. If you can remind Shanghai Electric Power Group in advance at this time, see if Shanghai Electric Power Group can prepare in advance, it may turn a result of this major event that will have a considerable impact on the development of the nuclear power field in the whole world in the future.

?

"Oh?" Zhao Ye was quite surprised. This guy was a little arrogant. A local cadre dared to say "some meaningful news" to him. What is the significance of a state-owned enterprise like him?

News

"Since Shanghai Electric Power Group has also been involved in the nuclear power field, then Mr. Zhao knows Westinghouse Electric?" Lu Weimin asked.

"Westhouse Electric?" Zhao Ye was a little surprised and frowned, "Secretary Lu, although I am not from nuclear power, I have been in charge of the nuclear power industry in recent years. How can I not know about Westhouse Electric? European and American

Can you know the originator of nuclear power? You also have many technical exchanges with our country's enterprises, including our Shanghai Electric Power Group and Black Electric Power Group."

"Oh, as far as I know, Westinghouse Electric's parent company, the British Nuclear Fuel Company, intends to sell Westinghouse Electric as a whole. I wonder if Mr. Zhao knows?" Lu Weimin said in a low voice.

To be precise, this situation may be in the infancy of the highest-end within the British nuclear fuel company, and it has not even entered the discussion stage, because once this news is exposed, it will bring many unexpected factors to the company and even the potential acquirers.

So until the research and discussion stage, it was still in a state of absolute confidentiality.

Zhao Ye was shocked, widened his eyes, and subconsciously held his glasses, "Secretary Lu, where did you come from? Why have we never heard of this? Are you kidding? This is impossible!"

If Westinghouse Electric really wants to sell, it will inevitably have a huge impact on the entire international nuclear power industry and market sector, which is no less than a nuclear explosion in the nuclear power field.

As long as you are engaged in nuclear power, you are very clear about Westinghouse Electric's position in the nuclear power field. It can even be said that Westinghouse Electric, which is currently negotiating in the country, is the main negotiator. Westinghouse Electric has mastered the A1000 pressurized water reactor technology.

The high technical content and cost-effectiveness are not inferior in safety. It has great advantages against the French Areva II EPR pressurized water reactor technology. If Westinghouse Electric is to be sold, then it means who will win it.

Westinghouse Electric, then whoever can win a key battle in this future battle will play an extremely important role in the entire domestic nuclear power market in the future.

"Mr. Zhao, do you think I'm pretending to be mysterious and joking for you?" Lu Weimin laughed, "We met for the first time, and at least it's a bit of an identity. Is this kind of outrageous joke suitable?"

Zhao Ye looked at Lu Weimin carefully. He really didn't expect that he was just a little interested in Songzhou's solar photovoltaic industry and got to know this cadre from the local area on a whim. Unexpectedly, he suddenly heard about his own company.

Major news about development, this is too incredible. How could a local cadre know such high-end and professional news? At least he has not received any news in this regard. You should know that Shanghai Electric Power Group is also a large state-owned enterprise

He also has his own intelligence collection department. Although it may not be very professional or highly targeted, why did the group's intelligence collection department not respond at all when it comes to information that Lu Weimin can know?

"Secretary Lu, can you know where you learned about this news? Is there any channel to confirm it? As far as I know, the British nuclear fuel company does not seem to have the intention to sell Westinghouse Electric for the time being." Zhao Ye said in a deep voice.

Lu Weimin shook his head, "This is what I learned from in a relatively private channel. Please forgive me for not revealing the source. Well, to be precise, this situation is probably still brewing at the highest level of the British nuclear fuel company, and is in the highest confidential stage, but I can

Sure, this news is absolutely reliable.”

Zhao Ye was a little embarrassed. Of course, he also knew that if this kind of news was not released through official channels, it would definitely not be leaked. It is normal for people to worry about it. However, such an unproven news would be of little significance. In theory, any company

It is possible to transfer and sell, it depends on the timing and price. What is the news that you cannot verify and verify?

"Mr. Zhao, I also know that you think such a news is like a waste, but I think it's better to trust it than to trust it. After all, you know the importance of Westinghouse Electric in the nuclear power field in my country than me. If Westinghouse Electric is a company that is more important than me, if Westinghouse Electric If you want to sell, who can obtain Westinghouse Electric will inevitably have a huge impact on the future development of my country's nuclear power industry, especially if it is obtained by other foreign companies that have an influential influence on my country's nuclear power field, and if our country The company can obtain Westinghouse Electric or partially obtain it, so the significance and value are also extraordinary. So I think Zhao can always exert some influence and do some research on this possibility and the response measures we can do in advance. And prepare?"

Lu Weimin's suggestion made Zhao Ye slightly moved. He really couldn't understand that this guy had given himself such a big "grace gift" when he met for the first time. If this wasn't at the opening ceremony of the middle school youth class of the Central Party School,

If he hadn't known this guy's identity, he wouldn't have believed that such a news would have been passed from a guy who had nothing to do with the nuclear power field.

"Secretary Lu, you have asked me a difficult problem. I really don't know what your news means. Regardless of whether it is true or not, I understand your ideas. Do you understand the meaning of Westinghouse Electric? European and American countries will allow such a company

Fall into the hands of our Chinese companies?" Zhao Ye looked at Lu Weimin.

"Well, maybe I don't know much about it, but I know how many bidders Westinghouse Electric will have, nothing more than the United States, France and Japan, but who will bid the most and be the most beneficial to us? Can we form a bid with a certain company?

The consortium, whoever forms a bidding consortium with is more likely to succeed, these factors require a very professional and complex research and judgment. This not only involves the nuclear power industry, but also involves industrial security. This is mine.

Understand." Lu Weimin smiled, "Of course, you professionals understand the specific matters best."
