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

Chapter 137: 136 Press Conference, Lin Zhe personally announced
Wenfeng Community in Quanhe City is one of the several high-end communities in the city.

Ironically, the power supply of Wenfeng Community has been changed from Yuanda Power to Zhetong Power after the decision of most owners, and Cheng Jiawang, the boss of Yuanda Power, lives here.

After waking up in the morning, Cheng Jiawang felt refreshed, a feeling he hadn't had for a long time.

I slept quite well yesterday. I woke up in the early morning and checked my phone. Someone sent me a photo.

The photo shows an electric tower on a mountain, with the high-voltage transmission line of the tower directly damaged and drooping down.

After seeing the photos, Cheng Jiawang's mood improved and he carefully deleted them.

He went to the bathroom and reached out to turn on the light, but then Cheng Jiawang remembered that there was a power outage in the community.

No, the entire city should be in a power outage except for their neighborhood.

Thinking of this, Cheng Jiawang smiled, but his finger still subconsciously pressed the switch out of habit, and the next second the bathroom lights were on.

Slowly, Cheng Jiawang's eyes widened. If it weren't for the vivid picture he saw when he woke up in the early morning, he would have suspected that his subordinates had messed up the matter.

How did the power come on? When he received the photo in the early morning, he had tried everything and found that there was indeed a power outage at home.

Why did the call come at around seven o'clock, but not even eight?
……

With a gloomy face, Cheng Jiawang came to the community without giving up, but it seemed that nothing had happened everywhere, as if there had been no power outage at all.

Walking forward, there are several shops.

After Cheng Jiawang entered, he first ordered a bowl of tofu pudding, and then asked the boss about something.

"Electricity? There was a power outage this morning, probably about an hour or so, and then it came back online."

After listening to what the boss said, Cheng Jiawang couldn't eat the tofu pudding in front of him anymore.

He works in the electricity industry. How could it be possible to repair the main transmission line in just one hour when it was damaged so badly?
Similar things had happened to Yuanda Electric Power before. At that time, something went wrong in the transmission line connecting the power plant to another county town.

It took their people several hours just to locate the problematic line, and then another hour to prepare the necessary supplies and personnel.

It took half a day for people to repair the power supply. It was still daytime and the company's staff were all at work.

If that happened in the middle of the night, Cheng Jiawang felt that the power would have to wait until evening.

But how come it took only an hour for the power supply to be restored at Zhetong Power Company after such a big incident?
Isn’t this efficiency a bit exaggerated?
So, in the end, he wanted to disgust Zhetong Electric Power before closing down. He thought that no matter what, he had to shut down their power for a few hours. When people got up in the morning to go to work and found that there was no electricity, they would complain.

It turns out that the power supply was restored before everyone woke up. What's the point of doing this?
Apart from those who get up early and are occasionally affected, the power outage has no other impact.

Keeping his temper, Cheng Jiawang spoke again.

"Boss, doesn't Zhetong Electric Power claim that it never has power outages? Now that there's a power outage, aren't you going to cause trouble? It's going to affect your business to some extent, right?"

After hearing this, the boss who was wiping the table looked back at Cheng Jiawang curiously and then said something.

"Oh, this has happened a lot before, right? We're used to it. It doesn't matter much if Zhetong Power can restore power so quickly. It's not worth it to cause trouble for such a small matter."

"Besides, they said that force majeure must be excluded, including natural disasters and man-made disasters. Who knows what will happen then."

The boss's words really hit Cheng Jiawang right in the heart. His Yuanda Power did experience power outages from time to time in the past.

He scanned the code, paid and left. He was so angry since he went to the toilet in the morning that he didn't eat a single bite of the tofu pudding.

……

On the other side, a group of power team members got off the Great Wall power supply vehicle. They were the power team that was responsible for installing hidden independent cameras on each power tower.

Now they put on special tools, fastened their safety ropes and climbed up. After a few operations, they took out all the storage strips in the cameras.

Just as they were getting the card slip, several police cars came roaring in.

This is the junction of Fengxiang and the urban area. In theory, you can contact the municipal bureau or the county bureau.

However, Lin Zhe chose to go directly to the person in charge of the Fengxiang County Criminal Brigade, who he had met last time, so that it would be easier to get things done.

The person over there came over and greeted Lin Zhe, and then Lin Zhe gave a brief introduction.

If we really talk about it, this matter is definitely more serious than the last time those thieves beat employees with sticks. That incident was at most intentional injury, and it was a minor injury.

At that time, it was only a few of them who had cases on their backs, otherwise it wouldn't have been so big.

But this can be regarded as intentional destruction of power transmission facilities that endanger public safety, which is a serious crime.

After listening to Lin Zhe's words, the head of Fengxiang Criminal Brigade also looked serious. "Boss Lin, this may be a serious matter. I will immediately arrange for the personnel in the bureau to search through the cameras on these roads."

At this time, the staff member from the power tower also came down and inserted the memory card into the laptop.

The specific time of the power outage was recorded at Zhetong Power. By adjusting the time of the power outage, the clear faces of several suspects soon appeared on the computer screen.

There are even several angles that are very clear.

"Take a look."

As he spoke, Lin Zhe arranged for the staff to hand the notebook to the people from the Criminal Brigade.

Wow, such a clear picture. There is nothing covering the faces of these suspects. This case will be much easier to handle.

As long as the people in the camera are not illegal residents, can't we find them out when we go back and check?
Moreover, this video fully records the professional criminal process of several people with clear division of labor. They destroyed the circuits with a goal and purpose, not the kind of accidental damage.

After handling cases for so many years, the most troublesome ones are those cases that have no clues and no surveillance.

Now it seems much easier.

"Boss Lin, please ask the staff to send me a copy. I will send it to the bureau right now and ask the colleagues on duty to help check it. Once they find it, we can directly find the person."

……

The matter with the electric tower has been settled, and the next step is to hand it over to the authorities.

Next, Lin Zhe chose to go to the city. The response speed within the group was very fast, and everyone handled it according to the plan. The power supply was restored in a little over an hour.

It is estimated that most people in Quanhe City are still unaware of the power outage, but there must be a small number of people who know about it and it has affected them.

As the president of Zhetong Electric Power Group, Lin Zhe already had a plan in mind.

Regardless of who did this, according to the contract and publicity, Zhetong Electric Power could have simply ignored it and issued a notice.

Even when Lin Zhe was in the car coming here, he had already thought about how to send the announcement.

Let’s talk about the malicious damage to the power transmission line. The Zhetong Electric Power Group responded quickly and conducted an investigation, and then restored power supply as quickly as possible. The group apologizes for this.

But after arriving at the scene, Lin Zhe made a decision.

The people who did this just wanted to disgust Zhetong Electric Power through this matter? How could I let him do what he wanted by lowering the reputation of Zhetong among users?
And since things have already happened, we have to find out how to make things better based on what has already gone wrong.

……

At two o'clock in the afternoon, a simple conference venue had been set up at the Quanhe District Branch of Zhetong Electric Power Group.

Local media in the city and even some nearby residents were invited to attend the press conference.

Lin Zhe wanted to personally explain the sudden power outage.

As everyone arrived, the press conference began, and Lin Zhe appeared alone in front of everyone.

"First of all, as the president of Zhetong Power Group, I would like to apologize to all the users in Quanhe City."

Lin Zhe then gave a brief account of the specific situation, saying that this was an accident caused by human destruction of power transmission lines, and also displayed a mosaic photo of the suspect at the press conference.

There was an uproar at the scene after this photo was released, but at least everyone knew what had happened.

Having said that, naturally no one will blame Zhetong Electric Power. After all, this was done by bad guys, right?

Besides, this matter is not a big problem in itself. Most people don’t know about it after they wake up, so it has no substantial impact.

But Lin Zhe immediately changed the subject and gave his answer directly.

"This is man-made. Our commitment to our customers is to eliminate such man-made, equipment-related and force majeure factors and never have power outages."

“But from a certain perspective, although the incident has not been investigated clearly, it is certain that this was caused by someone else attacking our Chetung Power. In other words, it can be attributed to Chetung Power.”

"The group could have been exempted from responsibility, but then Zhetong Power Group would not be Zhetong anymore. Our Zhetong Power Group has always put users first."

“So here I am announcing something to you as the president of Zhetong Power Group.”

"We, the Zhetong Power Group, are responsible for this sudden power outage and will provide compensation plans for all users in the urban area."

"The power outage lasted a total of one hour and thirteen minutes. We will give ten times the compensation based on one day's time, based on the average daily usage of each household last month. Ten days of free electricity! Only the excess will be charged the normal electricity fee."
