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

Chapter 24 Qingchuan Power can't hold back

There is only one person guarding the gate in the factory at night, which is enough.

But now there are more and more things in the factory, including cars and so on. A truckload of cables was just delivered two days ago, and that truckload of cables alone is worth a lot of money.

So Lin Zhe decided to hire two serious security guards and look for them in the town when the time comes.

It’s best to find a local who knows you well and is a retired military man, not too old, so that he can be helpful if something really happens.

When the new factory and building at the school are built, we will have to set up a security department and hire more people.

Now we have to recruit two people to take over.

……

After talking to the village party secretary, the news of Zhetong Electric Power's recruitment quickly spread in the group chat of Shima Town.

The three vacancies for civilian staff were responded to quickly. According to the village party secretary, there were four suitable candidates in total.

There are also two people on the security side, one retired two years ago, and the other was just demobilized this year. In terms of "combat effectiveness", both of them still have a solid foundation.

Moreover, they are young, all men under 30 years old, which is the right age for them to be strong and healthy.

After hearing what the village party secretary said on the phone, Lin Zhe agreed. Anyway, he would come over to take a look first.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhe tidied up his desk. When he was in the factory before, he didn’t have an office at all, just a desk.

But after moving to the activity room, there was an empty room left for myself, which can be regarded as an office.

After a simple tidying up and arranging a few things he often used, Lin Zhe nodded with satisfaction.

Although it's only temporary, at least it looks like this.

Not long after Lin Zhe sat down, there was a knock on the door. He looked up and saw that it was the village party secretary.

"Secretary Liu, please come in quickly."

"Xiao Zhang, go get a cup of tea!"

Lin Zhe treated Secretary Liu with considerable respect, because because of Old Lin, Secretary Liu had helped his family in the past.

"Hey, no need to drink water, I'll just come over and talk to you about the situation and then leave."

As he spoke, Lin Zhe took out a cigarette from the drawer of his office and lit one for Secretary Liu, and then the two of them started chatting.

According to Party Secretary Liu, these civilian staff members include one man and three women, and are about the same age as Lin Zhe. If Lin Zhe had not lived in the city as a child, they might have been his childhood playmates.

Among these people, two are recent college graduates from key universities, and the other two have graduated two years ago and have work experience as well.

When they heard that Lin Zhe’s Zhetong Electric Power was recruiting, everyone immediately contacted him to sign up. Who wouldn’t want a stable job right next to home?
There are two other security guards who are locals in the town who are well-known and have good character. They are also trustworthy.
After listening to Secretary Liu, Lin Zhe also nodded.

"Okay, then please ask Secretary Liu to call and notify them to come over. Anyway, I have nothing to do today, so I will come over and settle this matter."

Since Lin Zhe had spoken, Secretary Liu naturally had nothing to say. He simply picked up the phone and notified everyone one by one.

The town is so small that it takes less than ten minutes to run from the east end to the west end, so people come quickly.

The first person to come was a girl. Lin Zhe took her resume, looked at it, asked a few questions, and after making sure there were no problems, he directly agreed to the interview, which meant she passed.

The same was true for the other few people who came later. Since their abilities were not a problem, Lin Zhe passed them all.

Next up are the two security guards.

In a small county like theirs, security guards from other companies might earn just over 2,000 yuan a month.

If he were a security guard at a village bank, he might even be paid just 1,800 yuan a month.

Such prices are naturally "you get what you pay for". Basically, the age of the workers must be at least 60 years old, and at best they can only be gatekeepers. They are not useful in an emergency. However, Zhetong Electric Power is different from other companies. If they want security guards, they must be able to "keep safety" at critical moments. The salary level offered by Lin Zhe is much higher than the local average.

If you work full time for a month, you will receive a base salary of 3,600 yuan plus a full attendance bonus of 200 yuan.

This is already very good. The most important point is that Zhetong Electric Power is going to build high-rise buildings locally, which means it is moving towards stable development. A stable local job is still very attractive.

That's why these two people chose to be security guards.

Lin Zhe had seen the man and thought he was tall and strong, indeed a good guy. After a brief communication, he decided on him.

Civilian staff are not provided with work uniforms, so Lin Zhe directly notified the four of them on the spot to come to work tomorrow.

They can also help with the next recruitment, and the other two security guards will have to wait until the work uniforms arrive before they can go to work.

After these people left, Lin Zhe turned on his mobile phone and opened the shopping app.

The security guards we recruited were all tall and strong, so the clothes they wore naturally couldn't have that "fake military" vibe.

I directly chose the 300 yuan range within the price range, and then found a store with nice designs.

Although it is a security uniform, it imitates standard equipment a bit, looks very cool, and there is a configuration bag on it.

Before the security department was established, Lin Zhe had no plans to purchase security equipment, but he could arrange for clothes first.

……

On the other side, Qingchuan Electric Power.

The atmosphere in the conference room was a little more gloomy than last time, and there were quite a few more middle-level managers attending the meeting this time.

The boss sat in the swivel chair and looked at the report in his hand with anger.

Originally, he had never been interested in Zhetong Electric Power, but now it has started to expand since it quietly won a large order from the cement plant.

The extra users they have are their own losses!

In just one week after the business office in Liangshui Town opened, more than half of their customers in Liangshui were taken away, and they also lost several factories.

If this continues, he even feels that Zhetong Electric Power will sooner or later completely eat up their market, and may even move to the county town.

But the price is their Qingchuan Power, and he will not accept this.

"Recently, Zhetong Electric Power has embraced Liangshui Building Materials. You have all seen what is going on. Now, what do you think we should do?"

After hearing what the boss said, the subordinates began to offer suggestions one by one.

In the end, after all the arguing, only one method seemed to work.

That is to start a price war! This is the conclusion they finally reached.

In their view, Zhetong Electric Power's rapid development now will cost a lot of money.

In the electricity industry, the return on investment takes at least one month. It is not an ordinary commodity that you can get money by selling it.

Therefore, the sooner the better, suppressing Zhetong Electric Power is the best option.

Qingchuan Power has made a lot of money by "occupying" the surrounding area for so many years, and has a lot of experience with this tactic.

What small power plants lack most is the ability to take risks. Once they invest real money, they won’t last long.

It doesn’t matter if they lose some money. The most important thing is to defeat Zhetong Electric Power.
