Ants exploded, I opened a power plant to supply power to the world

Chapter 10 010 As long as the power goes out, I dare to pay ten times the compensation!
Huang Yuanwei, chairman of Liangshui Town Cement Group, is not in his office at the moment, but is patrolling the production area of ​​the factory.

Recently, their factory won a big order and reached a cooperation agreement with a provincial real estate group to supply cement for the construction of several large real estate projects and a section of county road.

This is a hot commodity, so after getting the order, Huang Yuanwei personally came to the production line to keep an eye on it. He had to work overtime to deliver a ton of cement to the manufacturer when the supply time came.

Just as he was walking in the factory, the roar of the surrounding machines suddenly stopped. After noticing this change, Huang Yuanwei's face gradually darkened.

"Fuck it! This is the second time this month, right? The point is, it's only been less than half a month and the power is out again!"

The factory was at a critical juncture of seizing opportunities to boost production, but there was a sudden power outage after ten days or half a month, which made Huang Yuanwei very annoyed.

This kind of situation was common in the past, but now it is particularly worrying to have the production orders in hand.

As the machine stopped, a staff member soon answered the call and carefully handed the phone to Huang Yuanwei.

Qingchuan Power Company said that summer is the peak season for electricity consumption, and today, especially as the weather is hot, electricity consumption is even higher, so their factory is having trouble supplying electricity.

It is impossible to cause public opinion by stopping electricity for residents on a large scale, so Qingchuan Power had no choice but to cut off the power supply to the factory for a while and ensure that power supply would be restored after one or two hours.

Huang Yuanwei was furious after hearing the explanation on the phone.

"Promise? Promise please! Can you Qingchuan Power do it? If not, get out. Anyway, the contract has expired. At worst, I can just spend a little more money to get electricity from other companies!"

Hearing Boss Huang's furious voice on the phone, the general manager of Qingchuan Electric Power also looked helpless.

After hanging up the phone, he loosened his tie, then picked up a cigarette from the side, lit it, and blew out a puff of smoke, looking quite depressed.

They had no choice. The motors in the factory were already running at maximum power, but there was still the occasional power shortage during peak hours.

This is also something that most small and medium-sized power plants have no choice but to do. It is impossible to shut down industrial power for a while when shutting down civilian power. Instead of shutting down power for many small factories and causing complaints, shutting down one power giant is the best solution.

Wait until the gap is filled and the power storage equipment has enough surplus before restoring the power supply. Otherwise, who doesn't want to make money? And you will be scolded by others.

But it doesn’t matter. Although the power supply contracts between Qingchuan Power and Liangshui Cement Plant have expired and have not been renewed, they are not worried.

After all, electricity transportation also has costs. The closer the power plant is to them, the lower the price. If they draw electricity from the factory in the county town, their cement plant will probably have to pay more than 0.1 cent per kilowatt-hour.

One kilowatt-hour of electricity costs 0.1 cent, and 10,000 kilowatt-hours would be 1,000 yuan. In a year, they would have to pay hundreds of thousands more.

Therefore, from their perspective, it is impossible for the Liangshui Cement Plant to find another power plant in the county. This makes them feel fearless. They can curse at will, as they won’t lose any money anyway.

……

On the other side, the staff next to Huang Yuanwei also received a call.

"Mr. Huang, the people from Zhetong Electric Power have arrived at your office."

After hearing this, Huang Yuanwei nodded, and then walked from the factory to the office building.

When Lin Zhe contacted him before, he agreed to meet Lin Zhe without saying a word.

Now Qingchuan Power is unable to supply electricity from time to time, which makes him very unhappy. In his opinion, he needs to take some measures.

In fact, he had no intention of choosing Zhetong Electric Power, because he had also done some special research on it.

This Zhetong Power Plant is a small power plant newly built in the neighboring Shima Town. It is small in scale, not to mention stability, and it is unknown whether it can meet half of the power demand of the factory. It is unrealistic to reach a power supply agreement with such a small factory. At this stage, we can only hold our noses and continue to use Qingchuan Power's electricity.

The reason why Lin Zhe was called here was just to make a splash through this meeting and let the people from Qingchuan Power know that they should pay more attention to the power supply, otherwise he would really change the power plant.

In the past, I could tolerate power outages from time to time, but now that it involves a large contract, I must not allow any accidents to happen, and I must not be able to supply the project in time.

Perhaps because he felt guilty for treating Lin Zhe as a "tool", Huang Yuanwei forced a smile on his usually serious face.

"Mr. Lin, right? You are young and promising, haha."

After hearing this, Lin Zhe smiled and nodded in response.

"I don't deserve it, Mr. Huang, you are flattering me. I am a little flattered to hear you praise me."

Although it was just business nonsense, who doesn't like to hear good words? Moreover, Huang Yuanwei felt guilty, so he also enthusiastically asked his secretary to make tea.

But after I said it, I remembered with embarrassment that there was a power outage and there was not even a sip of hot water in the office.

But there are still thermos kettles in the factory, and there is a hot water dispenser in the workers' dormitory area, so there should be some in stock.

Although it was troublesome for the secretary, since the boss had given the order, she naturally trotted over there to fetch some water.

After noticing this, Lin Zhe felt a glimmer of opportunity. Apart from anything else, he seemed to have good luck? Qingchuan Electric Power inadvertently gave him an assist.

"What's going on? Mr. Huang, are you upset about the electricity?"

After hearing this, Huang Yuanwei complained bitterly.

"Hey, your job is easy. Once the generator is turned on, it's like a money-printing machine. But can you improve the quality of service? Who can stand the power outages every two or three days?"

"Besides, we have to pay liquidated damages for power outages when we are on a tight deadline. You power plant operators don't have to pay for it. You just said the peak period has passed. Where can I seek justice?"

Speaking of Huang Yuanwei, he looked bitter and resentful. Seeing him like this, Lin Zhe also spoke.

"Mr. Huang, I also understand this situation, so I came here hoping to reach a power supply cooperation with your factory. Apart from anything else, I can guarantee you that there will be no power outage for 365 days a year without human factors. How about that?"

After Lin Zhe said this confidently, Huang Yuanwei was not very excited, but looked at him meaningfully.

"Boss Lin, you guys make it sound easy, and your assurances are stronger than one another. I might as well tell you that Qingchuan Electric Power said the same thing at the beginning, but what about now? It's still the same."

Lin Zhe was well prepared for this and directly took out the contract that had been drafted by a lawyer from his bag.

"It's written in black and white. If you choose us, Zhetong, excluding human factors and force majeure, if there is a sudden power outage, we will pay you ten times the electricity bill for that month! Take a look."

As he said that, Lin Zhe handed the contract to Huang Yuanwei.

Excluding human factors, this is normal. Sudden circuit damage is not impossible. Force majeure, that is, natural disasters such as earthquakes that cannot be resisted by human power, is also reasonable.

According to Lin Zhe, under normal circumstances, there will be no power outages, including during peak hours? It's the same all year round? And if there is a situation like what happened today with Qingchuan Power, they will have to pay ten times the electricity bill for that month?

Isn't this young man's tone a bit too loud?
With doubts, Huang Yuanwei took the contract from Lin Zhe.
