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

Chapter 213 Chapter 212 Give the Mountain City People a Little "Zhetong Shock"

"Putting ice in the truck? What are you transporting?"

"I don't know, but it looks like an electric power company, some kind of Zhetong Electric Power."

After chatting for a few words, Zhang Balian also found a few people to play cards. This bad habit was developed when he was a freight worker. After all, it was boring for everyone to get together when there was no work.

I don't know who started it, but when there was nothing to do, everyone would just play poker.

Some people play big, and may work all day just to make money playing cards. People like Zhang Balian, who play for fun, play small, with a win or loss of a few cents or at most a dozen or twenty dollars, which doesn't have much impact.

……

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Balian heard his wife's call and had to call it a day even though the battle was going on intensely.

I came to my wife with the four or five dollars I won today.

"Let's go home and cook. Today's tofu money has been reimbursed~"

On the way back, Zhang Balian did not forget to take a look at the owners' group. The electricity in their community has not been restored yet.

"Damn it, the electricity hasn't come yet~"

As he looked up, he saw several workers in power company uniforms installing electric wires on the roadside. There was a tall and mighty Buick pickup truck parked next to them.

"Yeah, those power companies must have been making a lot of money these days. Every household has to pay two or three hundred dollars a month for electricity. The cars they drive have all been upgraded. I saw a small pickup truck a few days ago, but now it's a big one."

"What the hell, they make so much money but don't know how to properly supply electricity. The electricity hasn't come to our community yet."

Having said that, Zhang Balian simply walked forward to ask, as he had a pretty hot temper.

Just go up and start talking.

"What's going on with you? We haven't missed a cent on your electricity bills, but why is it that our Garden Community has been without power since noon and the power hasn't been restored yet? Damn it, we ordinary people have to make a living, too. What are we going to do without electricity?"

As soon as they came up, they were scolded by the old man from Shancheng, and these staff members wearing Zhetong electric power uniforms were also very confused.

But he reacted quickly.

"Uncle, you are mistaken. We are not your power supply company. We are Zhetong Electric Power. We are currently installing the power line. We have not officially started operation in Shancheng yet. How can we cut off the power supply to you when we haven't even supplied it to you yet?"

After this explanation, Zhang Balian noticed the words "Zhetong Electric Power" on the staff member's chest. There was also "Zhetong Electric Power" on the car, so it was indeed not his own power company.

They use the power supply from Shancheng No. 3 Power Plant, which is really inappropriate.

It was a bit embarrassing to talk to the wrong person. To ease the awkwardness, Zhang Balian coughed a few times before speaking.

"Oh, I was wrong. Your name is Zhetong... Zhetong Electric Power, right? It looks good. This car is much better than other power plants."

As he spoke, Zhang Balian asked politely.

"That's right, when will your Zhetong Electric Power be operational? Tell your boss to hurry up. These two days are the best time to use electricity and make money."

Naturally, the staff of Zhetong Electric Power also gave an answer to this.

Four days later, Zhetong Electric Power will officially start operations in the mountain city area. Now they are working overtime to build the main power transmission lines in the urban area.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Balian also nodded and said casually.

"Okay, I'll support you when the time comes, just don't cut off the power so often."

Zhang Balian felt bad and embarrassed because he had made a mistake and scolded the staff member, so he said a few nice words to make amends.

As for changing power companies, Zhang Balian actually had no plans to do so. After all, it was quite troublesome to do so, and after changing it would still be the same, no one could escape when the power went out.

Why should he go through all the trouble for the same price? It’s better not to change it. Anyway, he is just saying a few polite words.

However, the staff's next response left Zhang Balian stunned.

"Yes, old man, our Zhetong Power will not have a power outage. Our main goal is stability. Our group's headquarters is in Binhai. You can check online. There has never been a power outage. The same is true in Shancheng. There will definitely be no power outage."

In the mountain city, most of the electricity they use comes from hydropower plants. How come Zhetong Power claims that there will be no power outages?
If this is true, then their summer will be much better. At least they don't have to worry about power outages. Under this premise, he would definitely choose to change the power supply company and switch to Zhetong Power so that there will be no power outages.

"Claws? Do you want to talk for so long when your grandson is hungry?"

After hearing this, Zhang Balian hurriedly turned back and went home together.

……

At around seven o'clock, the power supply to the Garden Community was finally restored, but this also made Zhang Balian very dissatisfied. It was really not easy to have this happen every two or three days.

After thinking it over, Zhang Balian came to his son. He had been working from home these past two days and hadn't come over much, so today was a good opportunity for him to ask him.

"Little boy, help me search for this place called Zhetong... That's right, these two words. Will Zhetong Power go out?"

Hearing Zhang Balian's request, his son also switched to Binhai Tongcheng on his mobile phone and searched for the power outage in Zhetong.

As a result, there was no video or related comments, and no one had posted any record of the power outage at Zhetong Power.

This also aroused a little curiosity in him.

"What kind of high-tech company is this? Why is there always a power outage? Are your comments being deleted?"

Zhang Balian's son searched carefully, but could not find any relevant records about power outages. However, a search for Zhetong Electric Power still yielded a lot of information, including Zhetong's promotional video.

After watching it for seven or eight minutes and combining it with the comments, Zhang Balian’s son also believed this fact.

"Dad, this Zhetong Power is really good. They seem to use some kind of biotechnology to generate electricity. They can even provide stable power supply on islands. There will be no power outages~"

After hearing the news, Zhang Balian nodded and felt certain in his heart. After Zhetong Power was put into operation in four days, he would first change the power supply company and let Zhetong's people provide electricity.

……

It was the second day, and the marketing of Zhetong Electric Power had been gradually carried out over the past two days.

From that day on, advertisements of Zhetong Electric Power appeared in many places in the mountain city, including several landmark buildings along the river.

If it were two months ago, the riverside would be brightly lit at night, and various words would flash on several other landmark buildings, including fans celebrating their idols' birthdays and advertisements.

But everything here has stopped working during this period, and there is no light at night. You can only vaguely see some green safety passage signs in the building lighting up. This is what it looks like in "energy-saving mode".

Industrial electricity was naturally shut down, their commercial electricity use was also strictly restricted, and the giant LED screen outside the building was also turned off.

But today was different. Several mobile power supply vehicles drove in from the Annan plant of Zhetong Power and then started working under the building. So tonight, the building lit up again when there were no lights anywhere else around.

If it was in the past, the effect would not be so obvious, but now the surrounding area is dark, but the giant LED screen of the building has lit up and can be seen from several kilometers away, making it particularly conspicuous.

"Hello, Shancheng! We are here!" "You use electricity, I use my heart! Zhetong Power has landed in Shancheng!"

"Use Zhetong! It goes everywhere!"

"Zhetong Power, never out of power!"

"Choose Zhetong Power and get power for you immediately!"

These words kept displaying back and forth on the screen, and there was also the logo of Zhetong Electric Power. A huge ant head popped up, which looked very cute.

……

In addition to here, there are also huge advertisements of Zhetong Electric Power on the light rail advertisements in the mountain city, as well as on bus stops and other places.

That night, the news gradually spread among the people in the mountain city.

Zhetong Power came to the mountain city to provide them with electricity, so those who were affected by the power shortage naturally considered changing power companies.

After all, since Zhetong Electric Power dares to promote "never-ending power supply" in its publicity, it must be very capable. This can attract many people to choose Zhetong Electric Power.

In addition, there are those bosses, whether they run shops or companies, they are the most excited group of people when they see this news.

At this time of power shortage, an electric power company suddenly came and said it would supply electricity to the mountain city. They were naturally very excited, and as long as the time came, they would immediately choose Zhetong Power for power supply.

In this way, as summer continues, they can resume normal production and reduce a lot of losses.

Moreover, many of them will take the initiative to search after seeing this news, and they will know that Zhetong Power is a large power supply company from Binhai, which greatly enhances its credibility.

……

In Shancheng County, Zhou Haipeng almost jumped up from the sofa after seeing the advertisement video of Zhetong Electric Power on the screen of the building at home.

The title of the video is "What's going on? Isn't it power rationing? Why is the building lit up?"

When you click on those landmark buildings, everything is dark, except for a few buildings that are lit up and stand out.

Then came the advertising slogans of Zhetong Electric Power, and promotional videos were continuously displayed on the screen.

"Hello, Shancheng, we are here!"

After seeing these words, Zhou Haipeng slapped his thigh and then muttered to himself.

"I told you so. I saw with my own eyes that the car had driven into the factory area. It must be about to start production. OK, the power supply is finally coming!"

Zhou Haipeng's wife, who was in the room, heard Zhou Haipeng's excited voice coming from outside and hurried out of the room.

"What's going on? What are you yelling about?"

"Zhetong Electric Power is here to supply electricity to our mountain city. Once they start supplying electricity, there will be hope for us!"

……

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

At eight o'clock in the morning on the fourth day, the salesmen of Zhetong Electric Power were dressed neatly and came to their respective business halls before work time, and then began to prepare for work.

At half past eight, Zhetong Electric Power's 21 business halls in the main urban area of ​​the mountain city officially opened for business!

Zhang Balian was among the people queuing. Apart from anything else, the fact that Zhetong Electric Power could light up several buildings along the river at night at this time and under this situation showed its strength, and there was nothing wrong with what his son had checked on the Internet.

So he made a decision and started queuing outside the Zhetong Power Business Hall closest to his home early in the morning.

……

Twenty minutes later, it was finally Zhang Balian's turn. He also gave his seat to the staff and then opened the account.

After coming out of the business hall, Zhang Balian looked at his electricity card with a smile. There was an ant logo on the card, and the words "Zhetong Electric Power" were also very obvious.

According to the staff at the business hall, operations in the mountain city area are booming right now, with too many people opening new accounts, so it may take a little longer for the staff to come and switch the electricity meter.

Zhang Balian was prepared for this statement. At worst, he could just wait for a few days.

Just pray that there won’t be a power outage at the Third Power Supply Plant in the next few days.

Naturally, Zhang Balian had dealt with a lot of people from the power company over the years. Since they all had a stable job, their service was naturally not very good and their efficiency was very low.

Since the service staff said we have to wait a little longer, it will take at least a few days.

Not to mention opening an account and replacing the electricity meter, when the circuit in their community was broken and they called for repairmen, they waited for more than a day before the power company showed up.

……

At noon, after lunch, Zhang Balian took his grandson to rest for a while, but the door rang.

"Which one?"

As he spoke, Zhang Balian lowered his head and looked out through the peephole, and saw a man wearing the same work clothes as the staff member he saw when he passed by that day.

"Hello, I'm from Zhetong Electric Power. I'm here to replace your electricity meter."

After opening the door, Zhang Balian was also surprised.

"Wow, you guys are pretty quick. I thought it would take a few days, but someone came so quickly."

With that, Zhang Balian took the staff of Zhetong Electric Power to their unit's meter box. After confirming the information, the staff of Zhetong directly completed the replacement.

Their power transmission lines have already been built here. Now they just need to replace the electricity meter and pull a line from the main line in the community.

After a busy schedule, Zhang Balian soon started to use the power supply from Zhetong Electric Power.

At the moment of completion, the staff member wiped the sweat from his forehead and then spoke with a smile.

"It's done. Congratulations, old man. You will be a customer of Zhetong Electric Power from now on. If you need anything, please call our customer service hotline at any time. As long as there is a problem in the city, we will come to your door within fifteen minutes."

After hearing this promise, Zhang Balian was stunned for a moment, thinking it was a bit too exaggerated, but he was also quite happy.

After all, now we have a guarantee that there will never be a power outage, so we can have a less stressful summer.

That night, Zhang Balian's family cooked hot pot again. People in the mountain city never get tired of eating this stuff.

However, just when they were having dinner, another notice was sent out in the community owners’ group. After seeing this notice, Zhang Balian also started to panic.
