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

Chapter 256 255 He helped me in the past, and now he is helping me in return

Lincheng Hotel, this is where Lin Zhe and Huang Yuanwei were interviewed, and it is also the place where Lin Zhe was photographed for the first time in the newspaper.

Lin Zhe basically hasn't been here since that time. He only remembers entertaining the owners of power plants in other places in Quanhe once when they came to him for negotiations.

Coming back here, Lin Zhe felt a little relieved.

At the beginning, let alone others, even I myself did not expect that Zhetong Electric Power could achieve its current success.

Huang Yuanwei had a good vision. From the first time they met, he gave himself the cement plant's power supply contract. He also "promoted" him and brought himself to show up by using his status as the richest man in Lincheng.

It also gave reassurance to those who still had doubts about Zhetong Electric Power's power supply capabilities at the time.

At that time, in addition to ordinary people, Lin Zhe hoped to attract those companies or small factories with relatively large electricity consumption. Even a bar on Bar Street could consume as much electricity as many ordinary households.

Although it seems that the electricity consumption of small businesses and workshop-style factories in these small county towns is really small now, Lin Zhe will never forget that it was they who supported the first step in the establishment of Zhetong Electric Power.

At that time, I was standing together with Huang Yuanwei. He was a senior but he did not act condescendingly. Instead, he gave me a firm support.

With his high-profile announcement, those small businesses can naturally use Zhetong Power with confidence and connect to Zhetong Power's power supply network.

After all, the richest man in Lincheng is undoubtedly the largest enterprise in Lincheng. Liangshui Building Materials Group has many cement factories, tile factories, etc. If they can use the power supply of Zhetong Electric Power, it proves that there is definitely no problem.

……

"Mr. Lin, we're here."

After hearing Zhang Chen's words, Lin Zhe was pulled out of his memories and the car stopped in front of the Lincheng Hotel.

Huang Yuanwei was standing on the roadside with a few people waiting. There was also a row of people who should be the staff of Lincheng Hotel, maybe the manager or something.

When Lin Zhe was still a penniless worker, when he returned to Lincheng and came to Lincheng Hotel, he felt a little hesitant even if he spent his own money to consume and saw the high-end decorations, not to mention the treatment.

After all, money is a person's greatest confidence.

However, Lin Zhe doesn't think that others are snobbish. People are like this. When you are penniless, don't expect strangers to be nice to you. But if you can move up, the world's "gentle treatment" is what you deserve.

……

The car door opened, and someone from the President's Office security team had already come over to block his head.

When I got up and got out of the car, Huang Yuanwei was already coming to greet me.

"Boss Lin, long time no see~"

When saying this, Huang Yuanwei bowed slightly unconsciously. Compared to the first time they met, when his face was flushed with confidence, he was a little restrained in front of Lin Zhe now, and he no longer had the vigor and ambition he had back then.

Lin Zhe could also tell from the few strands of white hair on his temples that "Uncle Huang" didn't seem to have had a good time in recent years.

"Uncle Huang, why are you calling me Boss? Just call me Xiaozhe."

Hearing this, Huang Yuanwei's slightly weathered eyes flashed with gratitude. This was Lin Zhe's respect for him, and this respect was not thrown aside because of the change in status.

"Okay, then I'll call you Xiaozhe. Let's go. Since you're back in Lincheng, your uncle Huang will host a banquet to welcome you."

"Okay, let's go."

……

After that, the two of them stepped onto the red carpet of the hotel and walked in together.

Lincheng Hotel has retained its previous name. According to current concepts, it is more appropriate to call it Lincheng Hotel. Although it is not too high-end and Lin Zhe is not quite sure about the hotel's grading standards, it must be at least three stars, maybe even four stars.

Anyway, in Lincheng, whether it is a business stay or a business banquet, this is the most high-end place.

The hotel manager standing at the hotel entrance was also very excited when he saw Lin Zhe and Huang Yuanwei coming.

One of these two men was the richest man in Lincheng at that time. His businesses covered most of the building materials market. It is a bit of an exaggeration to say that half of Lincheng was built by him, but it does give us a glimpse of the whole situation.

Although his voice has gradually faded in the past few years, Lin City is rich in talent and has produced a more powerful Lin Zhe.

The Zhetong Electric Power Group under his control has grown from a small town power plant to supply electricity to several provinces and cities. Its scale is among the best in the country. As a hotel manager, he has no idea how much it is worth.

But no matter how many employees there are, their net worth must be over hundreds of billions.

Back then, Huang Yuanwei was a well-known figure in Lincheng with a net worth of over 1 billion yuan. Now Lin Zhe is even more terrifying. It is absolutely true that there are talented people in every generation.

Now the two men, one old and one young, were walking towards them.

After taking a deep breath, he noticed that several service staff around him had lost their usual hotel etiquette and were leaning forward with excitement on their faces.

After noticing this scene, although he was extremely excited, he still took a deep breath and coughed lightly a few times.

"Ahem...you guys, be careful and don't lose your manners. Why are you so excited?"

……

They walked into the hotel together, and the manager and several staff members came to greet them, and then took Lin Zhe and the others to the reserved private room.

It was still the same private room from that year. Although the decoration had not changed, Lin Zhe could still tell that it had been renovated.

Not long after I sat down, there was a gentle knock on the door of the private room.

"Come in~"

I thought it was a serving staff, but it turned out to be the owner of Lincheng Restaurant.

"Boss Lin and Boss Huang, I rushed over as soon as I heard that you two were coming to the hotel for dinner, but I'm still late. Please bear with me."

I didn't expect that when I went out for a meal, the boss would come to greet me in person after hearing the news, but now Lin Zhe is used to it.

This is not so bad in other big cities. After all, I am not a celebrity or a star, and only a few people know me. But it is different in Quanhe.

In his hometown, Lin Zhe is even more popular than the most popular star. Basically, he will be recognized no matter what he does.

After smiling and talking for a few words, the owner of Lincheng Hotel quietly walked out of the private room, and then went to the kitchen to watch Lin Zhe and his friends being served.

... "Lin...Xiaozhe, would you like to drink something today?"

"Drink! How can I not drink since you said that? But forget about white wine. Let's be casual today and drink more beer, okay?"

Since Lin Zhe had agreed, Huang Yuanwei nodded happily, and then hurriedly asked the waiter to serve the cold dishes first and then bring some ice beer.

In the past, business banquets and the like were mostly served with liquor, but when serious buddies get together, except for the older ones, they basically drink beer, unless there is a special occasion.

Liquor may be drunk in situations that require solemnity and formality, but beer is drunk just for fun.

Lin Zhe is only in his twenties and not yet thirty, and is not old enough to throw away beer bottles.

Lin Zhe knew the reason why Huang Yuanwei was looking for him. He didn't need him to tell him because he had also learned from the side that Liangshui Building Materials Group was having a hard time now.

Just last year, Huang Yuanwei was stabbed in the back and almost lost his position as chairman of Liangshui Building Materials Group. In order to keep his position, he used all the funds raised over the years to buy back shares. As a result, he encountered a construction site that the client could not pay.

As a result, the capital chain had problems. In order to keep the group going, Huang Yuanwei was ruthless and simply cut off several subsidiaries with poor performance.

But this could only sustain him for half a year. Now, Liangshui Building Materials Group, which was once the giant group in Lincheng, is already in danger. If it is not careful, it may collapse overnight.

For this reason, Lin Zhe could guess with his toes why Huang Yuanwei was looking for him, it was nothing more than an emergency request.

He gritted his teeth and got through it when things were tough back then, and never contacted me, but this time he can't hold on any longer.

……

If it were someone else, Lin Zhe might have said this directly, and then talked about business and countermeasures with the person he wanted to help, and directly refused the person he didn't want to help.

Lin Zhe now has the right and capital to stop beating around the bush and playing with social conventions.

But Lin Zhe still respects Huang Yuanwei, the senior who helped him a lot in the past. Although there is no need to be so exaggerated as to repay a drop of kindness as a spring, as long as he asks, Lin Zhe will definitely not refuse.

So Lin Zhe didn't point it out at this time. After all, it would be a bit embarrassing for others to ask him for help.

As for white wine, Lin Zhe didn't want to drink it. After drinking some beer, the atmosphere gradually became better and Huang Yuanwei would naturally say it out loud.

……

As the delicious food was served, Lin Zhe did not hesitate to eat and clinked glasses from time to time.

During the period, it was not just the two of them, but also Huang Yuanwei's secretary. Anyway, the atmosphere at the table with just a few people was enough.

Moreover, many of the dishes on the table are local specialties of Lincheng. As a native of Lincheng, Lin Zhe really likes them. He ate and drank more and soon started to feel a little drunk.

"Xiao Wang, take a look at how many empty bottles there are on the table."

Now at this point, Lin Zhe no longer needs to order beer in such occasions, as others will open it for him. When the bottles are almost full, others will always be considerate enough to pass the opened beer to him.

After hearing Lin Zhe's words, Huang Yuanwei's secretary quickly said "Hey~" and then bent down to check the empty bottle at his feet.

"Boss Lin, that's thirteen bottles in total. Haha, you have a really good alcohol tolerance. You've drunk at least three bottles, and your expression hasn't changed at all."

No wonder everyone is happy to hear flattery even though they know it is fake. It sounds really nice.

Lin Zhe nodded with a smile and picked up the wine glass. Before he could say anything, Secretary Wang and Huang Yuanwei had already stood up.

"Come on, let's do this~"

After saying this, Lin Zhe still maintained his posture and deliberately lowered his wine glass a little in front of Huang Yuanwei.

The three of them clinked their glasses in a 500ml cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Wiping the foam from the corners of his mouth, Lin Zhe also started this.

"Uncle Huang, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Huang Yuanwei was stunned for a moment after hearing this suddenly, then he sighed and nodded dejectedly, took out a cigarette box, handed one to Lin Zhe, and then lit it himself.

"Yes, Xiaozhe, since you can still call me uncle, I am not afraid of being embarrassed. To tell you the truth, last year I was tricked by my own relative, the person I trusted the most..."

Huang Yuanwei then recounted all the shit that had happened, which was similar to what Lin Zhe knew but in more detail.

After saying that, Huang Yuanwei smiled bitterly and then looked at Lin Zhe.

To be honest, given the current situation, if Lin Zhe doesn't help him, the fate of the Liangshui Building Materials Group that he built would probably not be good.

But now Lin Zhe was sitting opposite him. Although he was already a tycoon with a net worth of hundreds of billions, he did not put on airs at all. Apart from being more calm and less reserved than before, he was still very respectful to him.

Just for this reason, Huang Yuanwei thanked Lin Zhe from the bottom of his heart.

As for whether he could help him, that would depend on business. If not, Huang Yuanwei felt that the trip was worthwhile. At least Lin Zhe still gave him face today, which meant that he had not misjudged him.

"Xiaozhe, to be honest with you, it's not that I didn't think more of you when I was having a hard time, but your uncle Huang is a man who likes to save face and has been holding on. But now there is really no way. The bank's bridge loan is very tight. I'm not afraid to tell you that the group's employees have stopped receiving wages for half a month. If this continues, I guess there will be no way to save the situation."

Having said this, Huang Yuanwei opened his mouth but still found it difficult to say the rest of the sentence.

But Lin Zhe spoke for him.

"Uncle Huang, don't worry. If you hadn't helped me, Zhetong Electric Power wouldn't have grown so fast. My old man didn't teach me much, but I knew from a young age that I should be grateful."

After saying that, Lin Zhe waved his hand, and Huang Yuanwei's secretary quickly came to his senses and opened a bottle of beer and stood up to fill it for Lin Zhe and the two of them.

Having worked under Huang Yuanwei for such a long time, he is a person like Lin Zhe and knows the term "repaying kindness", so now he naturally hopes that Huang Yuanwei can hold on. He was a little nervous just now, not knowing how Lin Zhe would answer, and even forgot to add more wine.

After the wine was full, Lin Zhe stood up and raised his glass again.

"Uncle Huang, I'll leave this to you. I'll arrange for someone from the group to come tomorrow to discuss the plan. It doesn't matter whether it's a direct loan or financing. It's up to you. Also, I can give you a definite answer. I'll stay in Lincheng for another two days, and our two companies will sign a strategic cooperation agreement. My group has a lot of factory repair business right now, and you can help with that."

After Lin Zhe said this, Huang Yuanwei's head exploded with a sound like thunder.

As someone who has been doing business for so long, he naturally knows how fantastic it is for Liangshui Building Materials Group to sign a strategic cooperation agreement with a group like Zhetong Electric Power Group, not to mention the current situation of the group, and how great the significance is.

But Lin Zhe agreed. Just as he had used his advantage to support Lin Zhe in the past, he now extended a helping hand to himself in return.
