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

Chapter 254 253 The employees are in a good mood, and Lin Zhe is also proud of being the boss
As soon as the convoy entered the toll station exit, Yu Hongbo and his colleagues saw the scene ahead.

Several police cars were parked there to maintain order, and there were also a number of middle-aged men in white shirts nearby, who seemed to be some leaders.

They are all standing here now, and there seem to be some red decorations. From a distance it looks like an opening ceremony.

If this happened in Binhai, all power supply vehicles of Zhetong Electric Power Group, including some other group vehicles, would directly use the unmanned ETC channel to enter the highway entrances and exits. At that time, the group would settle the bill with the highway company.

However, some things in Jincheng are not yet complete, including the fact that a unified agreement has not been signed with the highway's owner, China Civil Aviation and Travel Group, so for the time being, we have to go through the manual channel.

However, Yu Hongbo also received news that the Civil Aviation Travel Group has already contacted their Zhetong, and it is estimated that it will be more convenient the next time they go on a mission.

At this time, the people in the queue in front were slowly passing by, and Yu Hongbo and the others started chatting in the car.

"Team Yu, what's going on? Are you setting up a checkpoint to arrest people? Has anyone committed any crime here recently?"

Glancing through the car window, Yu Hongbo simply smiled and shook his head.

"Have you ever seen anyone set up a checkpoint and make it so festive? And there are so many leaders waiting here? Maybe someone from the province came to inspect the work, and these local people came here to welcome him. Otherwise, they wouldn't have come to this highway exit."

After hearing this, the others took a few glances and found that it was indeed the case. However, because it was still a bit far away, they could only see a rough outline, and the words on the red inflatable arches were also unclear.

……

Yu Hongbo and the others were still confused at this moment, having no idea that these people were waiting for them.

But these people in Lindong County kept their eyes on the highway exit, and the Zhetong Electric Power convoy could not be more obvious.

The cars in the front are all black, white, and blue, but the row of cars at the back are all yellow pickup trucks, which can be seen at a glance.

In the northwest region, the only company that can provide power supply vehicles of this quality for the group's front-line power workers is Zhetong Power, which has just entered the market.

Others, including the largest power company in the province, Jingan Power, use relatively cheaper brands, or a variety of other brands mixed together.

It is better if the paint color is unified and the name and logo of the painting company can be printed on the car body.

Only Zhetong can provide Buick Falcon pickup trucks for even the most basic "power supply station" employees. At first glance, there is no one else except people from Zhetong.

"Come on, Xiao Zhang, get ready. Once the first truck of Zhetong Electric Power comes out, light up your gift packs."

Unlike other places, Lindong County's control over the use of fireworks and firecrackers is very flexible, and their use in this scenario is fully in line with their local regulations.

Unlike other places where fireworks are banned, this small place has its own human touch.

Things like salutes and firecrackers still have meaning to the locals, especially in villages and towns.

When there is a funeral, no one may know when the elderly person passes away that night. The children by the bedside will go out and set off a few strings of firecrackers when they know the elderly person has passed away.

At this time of the night, it was late and quiet, and the sound of firecrackers was particularly loud. When the villagers heard the sound, they knew that an old man or woman had passed away.

They all knew that it was time for them to contribute.

Normally, we all live in the same village and would help each other when someone has problems. The sound of firecrackers is like a rallying call.

At this time, no matter how cold the weather is, how late or early the time is.

Everyone will consciously come to the home of the person in trouble. Some will add firewood and boil water, some will be busy comforting the family, and some will take the initiative to organize everyone to get things done.

Family ties and friendships are deepened at times like this.

This is the case for funerals, and naturally there is no need to say more about happy events. Firecrackers and the sounds they make have their own meaning.

……

"It is a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar", not to mention that these people came to their local area to do good things for them, so they saw no problem in showing a warm scene and setting off a few boxes of fireworks.

Finally, as the car in front passed the barrier, Yu Hongbo and his team's lead car also arrived at the toll collector's window.

"Hello, welcome to Lindong, I wish you a smooth work and a happy life~"

After hearing this, the people in Yu Hongbo's car sighed, saying that the toll collectors today were quite enthusiastic.

After the toll collector handed the card back to complete the payment, Yu Hongbo stepped on the accelerator and drove out.

Next is the second and third car behind...

After the entire convoy passed the toll station, they approached the decorated site and could clearly see the banners and words on the red inflatable arch bridges.

"Damn it, it looks like it says our Zhetong Electric Power."

Hearing this, Yu Hongbo slowed down the car, looked around a few times, and indeed saw the words "Zhetong Electric Power".

Lindong County welcomes staff from Zhetong Electric Power Group to come and carry out power supply work.

Just after he saw the words clearly, the sound of salutes rang out instantly. Yu Hongbo was very familiar with that kind of salutes. Whenever there was a wedding or funeral in the small county or town where he lived, they would buy some to set off.

In addition to buying them myself, some relatives and friends who come over as gifts will occasionally bring a box or two. They are not expensive anyway, just a few dozen yuan of small fireworks, and the purpose is to have a festive look.

When the cannon sounded and they looked at the words on the banner, it was impossible for Yu Hongbo and the others not to have reacted by then.

It turned out that these people and all these things were here to welcome them.

This is also a treatment that people like Yu Hongbo have never had before. To be honest, these people in white shirts are estimated to be of high status, but they are all waiting for him at the highway entrance.

He drove slowly closer, then Yu Hongbo pulled the handbrake and picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Brothers, the locals are here to welcome us, let's go down and say hello, and dress properly so as not to lose the spirit of our Zhetong Electric Power."

After saying this, Yu Hongbo got out of the car.

Just as he thought, several people surrounded him as soon as he got off the car. After learning that Yu Hongbo was the person in charge of this electrification operation, they took the initiative to bring him to the leader, the man in white shirt.

"Team Leader Yu, this is the head of our Lindong County. On behalf of the hundreds of thousands of people in our Lindong County, he would like to express his warm welcome to you and his gratitude after the electricity is connected in the future."

As they spoke, the two shook hands and took a photo together.

To be honest, Yu Hongbo was a little excited. This was the head of a county. The highest official he had seen before was just a deputy director, and his nose was almost pointed up to the sky at that time.

But now that Lindong County has been treated like this, the attitude of the people here is naturally needless to say, and they have specially made such a big scene for them. Then there are the gift boxes they prepared, one big gift box for each person.

It is filled with Lindong specialties, including tea, pepper oil and some specialties. It may not be very expensive, but it is definitely not cheap if placed on the market.

These are all secondary. What is more difficult is that so many people from Lindong’s official side have come.

It looked like he was full of sincerity, and Yu Hongbo and the others also felt it. At that moment, Yu Hongbo reaffirmed the "military order" he had signed within the group in front of these people.

He and his brothers at Zhetong Electric Power will definitely complete the electrification work in all towns and villages in Lindong County as quickly as possible while ensuring quality. Fellow villagers of Lindong County can rest assured.

They didn't waste too much of Yu Hongbo and the others' time. After simply expressing their welcome, it was time for them to leave.

However, compared to the first trip to Huaixi, arrangements had been made for Lindong’s people in the township, including accommodation for all employees of Zhetong Electric Power Group.

……

This news naturally reached Lin Zhe's ears. To be honest, Lin Zhe was also very happy to see this news.

After all, those people are his employees. It makes him proud as the boss that they are treated like this while working under him.

Not to mention the official attitude behind this, which means full support for the work of Zhetong Electric Power.

Now the power supply to towns and villages is still in progress. When the power supply to towns and villages is completed, Lin Zhe will definitely take over the power supply to cities. Anyway, no one can stop the pace of Zhetong Electric Power now.

In addition, with the development of power supply in towns and villages, Lin Zhe has done a lot of good things for the local people.

It is about bringing home appliances to the countryside. However, before, it was the government that negotiated with the home appliance companies, but this time, Lin Zhe personally went to the south to negotiate with some home appliance companies, and finally selected a group of brands with extremely high cost-effectiveness.

These brands will cooperate with Zhetong Electric Power to launch a "co-branding". In any case, they will be sold at a very low price in areas where Zhetong Electric Power supplies electricity.

It also brings some real benefits to the local people.

Apart from anything else, there are definitely things of good quality and low price, but for the residents in the vast rural areas, due to their age and cognitive limitations, their vision is really not that good.

But this time, Lin Zhe just picked out a list for them. Anyway, they can just choose the home appliances on the list that are jointly branded with Zhetong Electric Power.

It is definitely the most cost-effective one.

Just because electricity is available, everyone can enjoy the convenience brought by modern life. Whether it is televisions or washing machines, these things were not available before, but now they can be bought and used at home.

With the completion of the basic power construction in the first batch of 98 towns and villages, Zhetong Electric Power has sold a total of more than 126,000 household appliances, and this number is still increasing every day.

After all, although the number on the list is not large, hundreds of thousands of entries also represent nearly 100,000 households. After these people have electricity in their homes, buying a washing machine and a TV as standard for each family can also drive a lot of sales.

……

Lin Zhe even accidentally saved a company because of this incident.

Nansheng Electric Appliances, this was when I participated in the "meeting" prepared by Lin Zhe in Shenzhen. At that time, the situation of their factory was very precarious. To put it bluntly, the wages in the factory in the last few months were paid by the boss with loans.

If Lin Zhe had not appeared and their products had not been selected, Nansheng Electric might have gone bankrupt now.

Fortunately, Lin Zhe appeared and finally chose their product.

Of course, Nansheng Electric Appliances has also "lowered prices" for this reason.

As an old local electrical appliance company, it has fallen behind in the new era, and its sales volume has been gradually decreasing, but their core quality of Nansheng has not been lost.

At that time, Lin Zhe chose Nansheng because their Nansheng brand washing machines were sturdy and durable.

The cost of using a washing machine in rural areas is much higher than in cities. Since Lin Zhe has lived in Shima Town, he has naturally seen it.

Everyone has to wash clothes for a long time, and each time they wash clothes, it takes a long time, and the load on the washing machine is much higher.

If the quality is not good, it may need to be repaired after a period of use, which is very troublesome.

But the quality of Nansheng's washing machines is indeed good, and the key is that the price is also cheap. According to Nansheng's market price, one unit is only more than 900 yuan, which is a very cost-effective one.

But Lin Zhe still "lowered the price" hard at that time. After all, lowering the price by ten yuan more would mean a day's food ration for some villagers in poor areas.

In the end, Nansheng Electric Appliances accepted Lin Zhe's proposal. Their factory cost price was 700 yuan, but the selling price was cut to 800 yuan by Lin Zhe, and the profit was only 100 yuan.

After deducting the transportation costs, Nansheng basically only makes 20 to 30 yuan for each washing machine sold. This is an exaggerated figure in the profit margin of electrical appliances and is too low.

But it is this low price that has contributed to the high cost-effectiveness of Nansheng brand washing machines, and also enabled them to be included in the list of joint home appliances going to the countryside by Zhetong Electric Power.

Since then, their factory has been revitalized.

If the accumulated goods were left there without being liquidated, they would be of no value. However, all the large amounts of accumulated goods were sold out taking advantage of the promotion of Zhetong's home appliances going to the countryside.

Nansheng suddenly had money in its account, and after paying off the loan, it can now operate smoothly. The boss is also thinking of innovative ways.

At least I don’t have to worry about things like my employees’ salaries next month.

So today, the boss of Nansheng Electric Appliances also came to the Binhai Factory of Zhetong Electric Power in person.

……

In the office, after Lin Zhe returned to Binhai from the west, he began to plan his next move.

After hearing that Chang Jingye, the boss of Nansheng Electric, was coming to visit him, Lin Zhe did not refuse. After all, the two parties are still partners now.

When the other person arrived at the door, Lin Zhe was very considerate and went downstairs in person.

Even though Nansheng Electric currently has only a few hundred employees, while the number of employees at Zhetong Electric has exceeded 10,000, both parties are bosses and should still be given the respect they deserve.

After meeting downstairs, Chang Jingye also took out the gift he had prepared.

"Boss Lin, you must keep this. To be honest, if it weren't for you, Nansheng Electric would have gone bankrupt."

As Chang Jingye spoke, the staff member following him took out a large packed box.
