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

Chapter 260 259 Strengthen the special edition, prepare for going to sea
Foreign Languages ​​University? Major in Dhaka?

After seeing the name of this major, Lin Zhe frowned. He had never heard of such a bird language major.

Putting down the printed resume in his hand, Lin Zhe opened the language map on his computer.

Type in Dakara and click search, and the areas where Dakara is used will quickly appear.

My goodness, this language is considered a minority language in Africa and is only used in some specific areas of South Africa. It is really niche.

However, some cities in South Africa can really use it. Compared with central Africa, some areas in southern Africa are underdeveloped, but the infrastructure is much better than those places.

The infrastructure here does not refer to high-rise buildings or asphalt roads, but simple dirt roads, at least the kind that can accommodate cars.

Except for the largest cities in the south, other areas are basically not "involved" by power companies. They are all without electricity or the locals use generators to supply electricity themselves.

Lin Zhe really wanted to do this well. After all, while making money, he could also make Zhetong Electric Power famous overseas. Besides, it would also be a good thing for the local people.

Therefore, the southern region is the first node for Zhetong Electric Power to enter Africa, and translators who understand this language are definitely needed to carry out work in the local area.

Moreover, the local staff are different from those in China. Although there are slight differences in dialects, the words used are the same, and Mandarin has generally been popularized. If you can speak Mandarin, you don't have to be afraid of traveling around the country.

But in Africa, not to mention several cities, even in one town there can be several tribal languages, and this situation is very common.

Lin Zhe also took this into consideration, and estimated that in order to carry out work normally, the basic power team would at least have to be equipped with a translator who understood the local mainstream language.

If the place you go to is larger and more languages ​​are involved, you may even need to have several different types of translators for convenience.

This situation naturally requires a large number of students from foreign language colleges, and of course they must have good oral and practical application skills.

The Dhakara language is good. Although it is a minor language, it will definitely be useful.

……

Lin Zhe picked up the resume book next to him and read it carefully again.

Tan Xiangming is a senior student at Binhai Foreign Language University. He has performed well in school, achieved excellent academic results, and has good oral skills, which have been unanimously recognized by his teachers.

This resume also includes instructor Tan Xiangming’s evaluation.

Because it was an internal recruitment, the Human Resources Department of Zhetong Electric Power Group naturally made some requirements, requiring their counselors and teachers to make confidential and true evaluations of these students.

That is to say, all the resumes sent to Zhetong Electric Power, including the one Lin Zhe has in his hand now, have real evaluations from all their teachers and counselors for each resume submitted internally.

Of course, asking teachers to do this extra work can be considered as a contribution to their labor, and Zhetong Electric Power has never been slack in this regard.

Each of these teachers who participated in the student evaluation received an additional bonus from Zhetong Electric Power Finance. Each of them received one, and of course they were required to make a true evaluation.

Tan Xiangming and his colleagues didn't know about this, and their teachers had also signed confidentiality agreements. If the information was leaked and the group found out, they would be held legally responsible.

After so many cases, it goes without saying that Zhetong Legal Department is of great importance.

The human resources department will also conduct cross-examinations from multiple aspects and confirm the authenticity of the evaluation through the resume.

As long as the authenticity is correct, people who evaluate Lin Zhe and the human resources department will also read it.

Tan Xiangming's counselor evaluated that this student is very capable. Although the number of students in the class is small, he is still among the top few. Moreover, Tan Xiangming is a down-to-earth person, both in his studies and in his life at school.

In short, although there is nothing outstanding, there is definitely no problem either. Moreover, my professional ability, that is, the oral and written application of Dhaka language, has no problems and meets the school's requirements.

The evaluations from several other teachers are also similar, basically the same.

At least it shows that Tan Xiangming is indeed a good person. After looking at other information, I found that he is from a small place and his family conditions are not very good, but he is a good person.

Seeing this, Lin Zhe had already made a decision.

It's not that I'm so kindhearted that I have to rush to help people when I see them from poor families. That's only true in specific circumstances, such as recruiting special personnel for the Lincheng area.

That is a kind of support for the hometown. In other cases, Zhetong treats everyone equally in recruitment.

Family conditions are really not important. Whether good or bad, Lin Zhe will not care too much about it. The most important thing is ability and character.

Lin Zhe put Tan Xiangming's resume on his right hand side and continued reading.

……

In one afternoon, Lin Zhe personally reviewed all the resumes submitted internally by these "translators", which was something he would never have dared to think of before.

Lin Zhe only personally reviewed it to determine whether this person should join the group, and then handed it over to the Human Resources Department for cross-verification.

Lin Zhe was quite concerned about the first leg of this overseas trip, otherwise he would not have personally reviewed the resumes of these front-line staff.

In one afternoon, there were about fifty or sixty resumes on the desk to Lin Zhe's right. It seemed like a lot, but there were still big gaps.

After all, translators are needed to communicate with local people and so on, so people are definitely indispensable.

Only those that passed preliminarily were accepted. The rest of the pile on the left were not in Lin Zhe's eyes. There were more than 200 of them. Lin Zhe's requirements were relatively high this time.

Lin Zhe stood up and stretched his legs, then glanced at the time. He still had time to get off work, so he asked Zhang Yuliang to notify the HR department. All the foreign language colleges in Binhai, Suwu and other nearby big cities have "recruited" a round of candidates.

Next, the scope was expanded to directly carry out "internal recruitment" at foreign language universities with undergraduate degrees and above across the country.

……

Three days later, Lin Zhe appeared at the Buick Automobile Factory's headquarters in Binhai.

When they met again, Xu Wenjun and Lin Zhe were naturally quite enthusiastic. At the very beginning, Lin Zhe was just a "small boss" who owned ten cars.

But at that time, Xu Wenjun directly signed a strategic partnership agreement with Lin Zhe's Zhetong Power Group despite the pressure.

This seemed to be an exaggeration at the time. What was Buick? It was a mature global automaker, and their Binhai headquarters dared to sign a cooperation agreement with an electric company with a market value of only tens of millions.

Now it seems that this is undoubtedly a proof of Xu Wenjun's foresight. At present, Zhetong Electric Power Group has become Buick's largest partner in China and also the largest source of orders.

"Boss Lin, long time no see~ Hehe." "Yeah, I've been waiting for you in the cafeteria but you didn't respond. Who said you wanted to try the food in my factory cafeteria?"

Hearing this, Xu Wenjun suddenly remembered that this was what happened.

The reason was that at that time Zhetong Electric Power ordered another 20 vehicles. After their factory completed production, they naturally sent a large trailer to transport them to Zhetong Electric Power’s second factory in Fengxiang.

As a result, after arriving, the driver in charge of transportation started bragging to his colleagues at their Buick headquarters.

My goodness, it seemed as if the food in the canteen of the Zhetong Power Plant was not a canteen but some kind of professional buffet restaurant, which made many Buick employees very greedy at the time.

This matter later reached Xu Wenjun's ears, and he mentioned it when he met Lin Zhe.

At that time, Lin Zhe said that Xu Wenjun was welcome to visit their factory canteen at any time to experience the atmosphere.

As a result, the matter was never mentioned again. Now when Lin Zhe mentions Xu Wenjun, he has an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"Okay, look at my memory. Next month! I must find time to go to your cafeteria and experience it. You have to treat me later, Mr. Lin."

"No problem, let's talk in the office."

……

Because of their good cooperative relationship, Lin Zhe and Xu Wenjun have a good relationship and are not so distant with each other.

After arriving at the office together, Xu Wenjun personally made tea for Lin Zhe, just like when they first met.

Then Lin Zhe did not keep anyone in suspense and directly stated the purpose of this trip.

When Xu Wenjun heard Lin Zhe say that he wanted to buy a large number of cars again, he also smiled. This was another big order.

"Hey, I don't think it's a big deal. You can just call me and let me know. There's no need for you to come here in person."

Chuckling and shaking his head, Lin Zhe continued speaking.

"Of course not, because this one is different from the previous ones. I need you to make an 'enhanced version'. I will ship this batch of cars to Africa. Needless to say, the local road conditions are better, so they need to be more durable."

"In addition, the glass must also be modified. Not to mention bulletproof, but at least the strength must be raised to the highest civilian level to provide safety for our staff."

After saying this, Xu Wenjun's expression became serious.

Xu Wenjun, the person in charge of Buick Automobile's Binhai headquarters, naturally understood the significance of what Lin Zhe said.

Zhetong Electric Power is going to "go overseas" and operate in Africa.

This is undoubtedly a bold decision, but the advantages are also obvious. It is a blue ocean for power companies. Of course, the premise is that you have the ability to defend that market.

Otherwise, when the construction is completed and a large sum of money is invested, there may be an exchange of interests. By then, the trees will be planted by Lin Zhe, but the peaches may be picked by others.

So I didn’t consider the car first. Xu Wenjun reminded me of this first.

"Boss Lin, we are good friends no matter if we are doing business together or as personal friends. I have to mention that Africa is a very chaotic place. If you invest a lot of money and fail to keep it, it will be very difficult to handle it."

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Lin Zhe stretched out his hand and tapped the table lightly, revealing a slight smile.

"Of course, but what man doesn't like guns? I went there to try another possibility. I've prepared everything I need, so don't worry, Old Xu."

Since Lin Zhe said so, it means that Lin Zhe must be prepared. Xu Wenjun was relieved and then thought about it seriously for Lin Zhe.

It's really chaotic over there, and the road conditions are definitely as bad as they can be. People who have heard of O'Debiao's ditty should have seen it, so even the Buick Falcon has to be "strengthened" accordingly.

At least the strength of the tires must be improved a little bit. In addition, safety issues are also very important, so the car glass may not be bulletproof but at least it must reach the highest strength.

By then, no machine guns or artillery can defend against it, but at least ordinary stray bullets or other things such as small-caliber pistols can provide protection. The strength must be maximized.

Another thing is to strengthen the strength of the car body. Xu Wenjun has already gone through these issues in his mind.

"Boss Lin, I've done some basic calculations, and there's not much of a problem with this. It's just that the factory cost is a bit higher than the ordinary Buick Falcon. Of course, I promise to make a profit on this part. I won't ask for a penny of profit. Just give me the cost price."

Since Xu Wenjun said so, it must be true.

Both of them have reached the top of the industry. Although they may not be at the top, they are currently at the top level. There is no need for them to play any tricks, and the two companies themselves are in a strategic partnership.

So he said that Lin Zhe would definitely be fine.

Finally, the two of them calculated that the "special edition" power supply vehicle of Zhetong Electric Power in Africa would be more than 38,000 yuan more expensive than the one currently used by the group in China.

This is already the cost price, it couldn’t be more transparent.

If it was calculated at normal prices, that is, if the Buick factory had to maintain normal profits, the extra 38,000 would have to be at least doubled, because Xu Wenjun just considered it as a favor and didn't even charge Lin Zhe for the labor costs.

"Okay, that's it. I'll consider it as you helping me. Come to our factory cafeteria and treat you to a meal later."

"Damn, I helped you so much and you only eat in the cafeteria? At least I call you Mr. Lin instead of Lin Zhe. Can't I treat you to something more upscale? At least a food stall with beer."

The two of them signed a rough agreement while joking.

Zhetong Electric Power Group has once again placed an order for 500 vehicles, including 450 "special edition" power supply vehicles and another 50 "special edition" mobile power supply vehicles.

……

"Okay, then we'll just deliver the car directly to your Binhai factory, huh?"

"No, we will send the car directly to the dock of Hongyun Shipyard under Binhai Port, and then load all the containers and send them to the cruise ship."

Hearing this, Xu Wenjun was stunned for a moment, then asked curiously.

"Cruise ship? Which shipping company? Cross-ocean shipping is not cheap, don't get ripped off. I have an acquaintance here, do you want me to ask for you?"

"What shipping company? My own cruise ship."
