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

Chapter 264 Chapter 263 The last village, Gansu Province completed the electrification of the entire province!

There is no problem with the car and guns. At present, Lin Zhe has gained a firm foothold in his first step to this land.

At present, Lin Zhe has not recruited any personnel locally. All of them are twenty-two people he brought from China. In addition, he had made prior contacts, and the purchase of this batch of weapons was all through a local international mercenary organization.

There are five people in this company, who are currently responsible for explaining firearms knowledge at the shooting range. They are familiar with the local conditions and language, so it is a lot more convenient to have them around.

There were about twenty to thirty of them in total, each with a pistol, and there were also quite a few long guns.

Coupled with the fully bulletproof Hummer, with this configuration, you can't go anywhere in this land, but as long as you don't cause any big trouble, there will be absolutely no problem.

After all, there are not only twenty or thirty men, but they are all familiar with the use of firearms, have received professional training and have served in the military. Just this one person is many levels superior to those black guys who are holding AKs and shooting into the air.

……

They were all good at it, and after giving them some time to get familiar with the equipment, they were able to use it smoothly.

Next, Lin Zhe arranged for everyone to check their equipment, and then took enough ammunition and set off to the "base".

The so-called base is actually the location of the only office of Zhetong Power Group in the local area. In the future, it will also be the headquarters of Zhetong Power in the region. It may even develop into the South African headquarters of Zhetong Power Group.

The house is ready. It used to be a base of Gulf Oil and its staff dormitories are all here. It is not far from the city center and you can walk to the edge of Johannesburg in just seven or eight minutes without driving.

As the development of local small oil fields was completed, Gulf Oil withdrew from here.

However, the building has been preserved because it was built by oilmen after all, and the construction standards are very high. It is generally stronger and more beautiful than local buildings.

It is for this reason that even though the rental price is very high, there has been no one willing to take over the property locally and it has remained vacant.

It was not until a while ago that people from Zhetong Electric Power came and selected the address and bought it directly.

Here, as long as you have enough money, it is very convenient to handle all the procedures. Currently, this former Gulf Oil building has officially become one of the assets of Zhetong Electric Power Group.

Although top-notch hotels are much more comfortable to stay in, Lin Zhe still chose to go here directly.

Just think of it as the group's current headquarters in Africa. It needs to be built and improved. Living there will also allow me to "flex my hands and feet" and relax a little, and experience the so-called castle rule.

Since everything was almost ready, Lin Zhe took his men and drove over there.

The shooting range is far away from the city, but it’s not far to drive there.

Although the team prepared a more comfortable bulletproof sedan for the boss Lin Zhe, Lin Zhe still chose to drive the Hummer himself.

I have to say, it’s great to have money. Life is all about experience, and if you have money you can experience more.

Lin Zhe now feels very wild and comfortable, but the journey after fifteen minutes is not so comfortable. After getting off the asphalt road, the road conditions make Lin Zhe recall the days when he first went on a business trip to Siberia.

That was the beginning of a change in his life. During that period, when Lin Zhe rode in a car there, he felt as if his butt never sat still and was always bouncing around.

Now it's this familiar feeling and road condition. Fortunately, the chassis is high enough. If it were a sedan, it would be very difficult to drive.

……

Lin Zhe and his team drove on this road condition for more than ten minutes, crossed the dirt road and got on the asphalt road, and then arrived at the base of Zhetong Electric Power here.

At the same time, in a very simple house about one kilometer away from Lin Zhe and his team's base, a black guy saw Lin Zhe and his team's convoy approaching from a distance.

The guy’s name is Barry Lewis. He has lived here for generations and has never left even after the wave of immigration began.

Thanks to the rise of tourism, Barry has lived a good life. He would go to the surrounding forests to look for some small things and also buy some small commodities.

Then he would go to some tourist attractions in the city to set up stalls and sell to tourists, making a considerable profit.

In Barry's opinion, what he does is much better than some of his compatriots who steal and rob. Making money through labor is the belief of Barry's family.

After doing this for a few years, Barry came here and built a simple little house here, and the family finally moved out of the shantytown.

I originally thought that life would get better and better, but who would have thought that the abandoned Gulf Oil building near my home was recently bought by someone, and then someone moved in to renovate it.

Barry built his home here because there was nothing messy here, which allowed for peaceful family life.

And now that the building is being used again, the peaceful life is bound to be disrupted.

Barry didn't know what would be built there, maybe a casino? Or maybe a red-light district, but it would definitely bring trouble to their family living there.

But moving was impossible. Just building this simple house had already used up all his savings. Now he could only wait and see.

Today, as usual, Barry's mother, his wife, and even his teenage children were busy doing handicrafts, weaving various handicrafts out of rattan, which they would sell for a good price if they met generous tourists.

Barry was also helping to tidy up, but while he was tidying up, he heard the roar of a car coming from the distance.

There are basically no cars passing by on this dirt road, so Barry suddenly became alert.

To survive in this chaotic world, one has to be extremely careful. The possibility of their family being specifically targeted is small, but there is no chance that someone will rob their house "in passing".

So after hearing the roar of the car, Barry dropped the work in his hands and quickly climbed up the big tree in the yard to look over.

Wow, a long convoy of Hummers is coming, raising a lot of dust behind the convoy, which looks spectacular. There is also a cartoon ant logo on the car.

Barry had an impression of this logo. Two days ago, he saw the Gulf Oil logo on the Gulf Oil building being removed and then replaced with this ant logo.

Although he didn't know what company's logo it was, it looked very impressive, otherwise these people wouldn't be driving a Hummer. Moreover, Barry, who had good eyesight, could even see that there were people in the car holding weapons.

"Damn it, he's really not an easy person to deal with. God knows what kind of gang or shady business he's in."

After complaining, Barry ran down to the ground as quickly as possible, and then called his family to walk into the house from the yard.

I don’t know what they do, but it certainly doesn’t look simple.

Avoid it if you can, and it’s best if your family members don’t show up.

With this thought in mind, Barry quickly called all his family members into the house, and there was no time to pick up even the small things he had just woven on the ground.

"Shh~ Don't make any noise!"

After warning the child, Barry also looked outside through the crack in the door. …

At this time, Lin Zhe and his friends also drove over. Because there were no houses on this muddy road, Lin Zhe slowed down when passing the house.

The guide has just said that this is the exit of the dirt road. You can get on the asphalt road and then drive for a few minutes to reach Zhetong’s base here.

So Lin Zhe was not in a hurry. After seeing the things on the ground, he simply stopped the car.

The reason was simple: I was interested in the things made of vines scattered on the ground.

This thing looks a lot like the ones sold at the stalls outside the temple fair when I was a child, which were all made of bamboo strips like bamboo dragonflies.

This family is quite skillful. At first glance, you can see that there are many kinds of things, none of which are the same, such as puppies, birds, monkeys, etc., which are very lifelike.

……

"Nothing, stay alert, Mr. Lin has gotten off the car."

After hearing the voice on the intercom, the people in the car behind also relaxed.

It's no wonder that they are so nervous. It's mainly because this place is really chaotic and robberies can be seen every day. Their work is usually fine, but when Lin Zhe is around, they have to be on their guard.

As Lin Zhe got out of the car, several people from the security team of the President's Office also came down with rifles slung over their shoulders, then stood up to be on guard, while some also paid attention to the inside of the house.

After getting off the car, Lin Zhe opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. He just wanted to say hello to his neighbors, but then he thought that the only way to say hello to General Motors was "Hello".

Unlike Lin Zhe's relaxed state, it is no exaggeration to say that Barry and his family inside the door were trembling with fear.

After hearing Lin Zhe's voice, Barry took a deep breath and told the children and family to stay at home. Then he opened the door with a fearless spirit and even raised his hands.

"Hello~"

Suddenly the door opened and Brother Hei came out. Lin Zhe became a little nervous at this time, but after hearing the tremor in Brother Hei's voice and his raised hands, he understood that he was fine, but the people he brought with him brought a lot of pressure to himself, his "neighbor".

Although his written English is not very good, Lin Zhe's spoken English is still good.

When he was sent on a business trip to Siberia, in addition to the fact that his leader was trying to make things difficult for him, a very important point was that Lin Zhe could communicate in simple English.

The same goes for Barry. Long-term dealings with foreign tourists have taught him a lot of English. Otherwise, without an interpreter, the two of them would really not be able to communicate.

After signaling Barry not to be nervous, Lin Zhe also expressed his own meaning, that he was just a new "neighbor" not far away, and he just passed by here and said hello to him, with no other intention.

Barry just nodded timidly in agreement.

Seeing this, Lin Zhe didn't know what to say, but since it had come to this, Lin Zhe was too lazy to explain. He believed that after spending some time together, Barry would understand that they meant well.

After picking out a few more exquisite handicrafts from the scattered handicrafts on the ground, Lin Zhe directly took out his wallet from his pocket.

It is foolish to expose your wallet with a lot of cash in it in such a place. If you show your wallet in a busy city, you may be noticed by several waves of people.

But it’s a different story if you have a few big guys with guns around you, let alone dozens of them.

In this situation, let alone in front of his neighbor Barry, even if Lin Zhe took out his wallet and threw it on the ground on the busiest street in Johannesburg, no one would "look twice".

"Buy your stuff, it's very exquisite."

Although the specific value was unclear, Lin Zhe took several and estimated that each one was worth dozens of RMB. In addition, since it was the first time for Lin Zhe to meet someone, he would not be stingy, so he took out three Nandes, which is the legal currency here.

Three 200-nandes notes add up to 600 Nandes, which is about 240 RMB. This is enough.

Handing the bill to Barry, Lin Zhe pointed to what he had in his hand.

That's when Barry spoke up.

"Sese."

Lin Zhe guessed that he wanted to say thank you, probably because he had seen through his identity as a Dragon countryman.

After nodding slightly, Lin Zhe took his things into the car, leaving Barry with a confused look on his face.

My goodness, this new neighbor made him even more puzzled. If he sold the things he took by himself, he would probably only get more than 200 Sants at most, but he generously gave him 600 Sants.

But the way he looked was so bad that people who came to buy things and didn't know what was going on might think he was here to rob. There were a row of Hummers, and as soon as they arrived, someone got out with a gun on guard.

Judging from the situation, the business he runs next door must not be simple, but he seems to be a reasonable person. I hope this does not endanger his family.

"Hesai~ came out to collect things."

……

On the other side, Lin Zhe and his team have arrived at the headquarters of Zhetong Electric Power Group in the south. Although it does not look as big as the domestic or even Mingpu factory, it is still not bad and is slightly larger than the Shima Town Power Plant.

Moreover, a signboard of Zhetong Electric Power Group has been put up outside, and the letters on it have also been marked.

ZHETONG, Zhetong Electric Power, directly used the phonetic English name according to Lin Zhe’s request, and did not translate Zhetong.

In Lin Zhe's opinion, this is a matter of habit. He has to make them get used to it. Nothing else matters as long as the name Zhetong is known throughout the world.

After getting off the car, Lin Zhe could still see many black guys working, decorating and moving office supplies. Of course, there were also a few staff members in security uniforms.

They all smiled when they saw Lin Zhe and his group, because the security personnel were hired by Lin Zhe and his group.

At the same time, it was late at night in the country and staff of the Zhetong Electric Power Group in Zhaojiazhuang in the northwest were working overtime.

Zhaojiazhuang, the last village in Gansu Province without electricity, will soon be electrified tonight.

In the past, the village was completely silent at this time, but today it was still bustling in the early morning. The mobile power supply vehicle of Zhetong Electric Power Group was parked there to continue supplying power for lighting for colleagues.

Everyone is out of breath now. They have been busy all day. They were supposed to take a break and continue working tomorrow. They can just turn on the power tomorrow.

But they really couldn't bear to see the eager eyes of the children and adults in the village, so they planned to "work overtime for free" to complete the electricity connection tonight!
