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

Chapter 272 Chapter 271 How Daring! The Factory Was Attacked!
As a provincial capital, the reception standards of the Jincheng Banquet Hall are much better than those of the Lincheng Restaurant.

The private room had been arranged early on. It was Hall No. 1 of the Jincheng Banquet Hall. This private room could not be bought even if you had money. It would only be used for receptions of Nong Weiqi's level.

Not long after Lin Zhe went in, Nong Weiqi pushed the door and walked in.

Nong Weiqi has great admiration and respect for Lin Zhe. Not only is Zhetong Electric Power developing rapidly, it may become a super giant in the future.

The most important reason is that Lin Zhe doesn’t look like a “capitalist” at all.

In addition to profits, Lin Zhe pays more attention to the experience of employees and customers. He also has his own aspirations, otherwise he would not invest in power supply in rural areas with the idea of ​​not making money or even losing money.

Nong Weiqi naturally sees this very clearly as he has reached this position. Although Zhetong Power uses a biomass power generation process with a very low power generation cost, the construction cost of the rural power supply network is not low.

Moreover, Zhetong Power provides so many jobs. Every village needs a power supply station manager. This is a great thing for Gansu Province.

So when she came in, Nong Weiqi didn't have the expected attitude at all and was very enthusiastic.

"Boss Lin, I'm sorry I was delayed for a while by a meeting. Sorry for the long wait."

"No, no, I just arrived too, Mr. Nong."

After sitting down, Nong Weiqi picked up the menu. Since this place undertakes a lot of official business receptions, they are also very standardized.

But we can't provide bad conditions for entertaining foreign businessmen, so although this place is quite luxurious, it is also reasonable and legal.

In addition to some main dishes, Nong Weiqi also specially ordered several local snacks in Jincheng.

"Beef noodles are available all over the country, so I won't serve them here. I'll give you some stuffed pork and barbecued meat, which are authentic from the northwest."

Hearing this, Lin Zhe naturally agreed with a smile.

For himself, although he is on a business trip now, Lin Zhe still regards it as a trip, which makes him feel a lot more relaxed.

Traveling is nothing more than going from a place you are tired of to a place others are tired of.

Although the scenery is beautiful, Lin Zhe prefers to taste the local food, through which he can experience the local customs and cultural heritage.

Lin Zhe enjoyed the side dishes that Nong Weiqi ordered very much.

……

After the dishes are served, it’s time to talk about business.

Nong Weiqi first said some polite words, which were basically to thank Lin Zhe and Zhetong Power for their contribution to Gansu Province, because Zhetong Power has enabled millions of people to have access to electricity.

This is not only an improvement in the quality of life, but villagers can also use electrical appliances such as washing machines and televisions, which can bring great convenience to their lives and enrich their cultural and entertainment life.

In addition, the access to electricity will inevitably drive the development of some industries and improve the GDP and economic development of Gansu Province.

This principle is very simple and clear.

If there is no electricity in a place, then no matter whether locals or foreign businessmen want to invest in building factories or anything else, they can't do it. They can only develop in places with a stable electricity supply.

Now that the vast rural areas have electricity, some small and micro enterprises will naturally emerge slowly, and among these small and micro enterprises there will always be some outstanding ones that will grow and develop.

Enterprises can bring tax and economic growth to the local area, as well as create jobs, which can keep people in their hometowns. This is the foundation of development.

Nong Weiqi was 100% sincere in saying this.

"Come on, Mr. Lin, I want to toast you on behalf of the people of Gansu Province."

As he spoke, Nong Weiqi picked up the wine glass himself, and Lin Zhe smiled and they clinked their glasses and drank it all.

Secretary Nong Weiqi next to him also smiled and livened up the atmosphere.

Nong Weiqi basically doesn't drink alcohol outside of home except for family dinners during the holidays, no matter if it's for business events or classmates' gatherings. Today is an exception.

In response to this, Lin Zhe naturally agreed to it out of courtesy.

"Really? Then thank you Mr. Nong for giving me this honor. It is my honor."

……

After three rounds of drinks, the two started talking about the urban development of Zhetong Power in Gansu Province. Regarding this, Nong Weiqi directly gave Lin Zhe a reassurance.

Nong Weiqi doesn't think highly of the local power supply plants or power companies from the bottom of his heart.

Because those people are pure businessmen who only care about making money and will not take any corporate responsibility. They make a lot of money in the city but no company has stepped forward to develop rural power supply.

Not to mention investing in rural areas, they can't even provide basic services in the city. The boss makes a lot of money but is reluctant to hire a few more electricians.

Now we are also pursuing “reducing costs and increasing efficiency”, which simply means using one person as if he were several people.

This will not only fail to improve service quality, but will also limit the number of jobs available to society.

Take the maintenance time for example. At Zhetong Electric Power, if you call the customer service department, an electrician will arrive at the problem site within fifteen minutes within the city. But these people can solve the problem within fifteen minutes, let alone within ten minutes. It is considered good if they can solve it within the same day.

If it is late at night, we will have to wait until the next day to handle it for you.

So when Lin Zhe said he wanted to develop the urban market in Gansu Province, Nong Weiqi was quite supportive. And it was not just verbal support. Nong Weiqi directly gave Lin Zhe a business deal.

At the dinner table, Nong Weiqi directly agreed to the Jincheng public power supply business to Lin Zhe.

This includes not only municipal power supply for street lighting, but also power supply for Jincheng's official directly affiliated units. In addition, Jincheng's subway transportation, bus group and other official-backed enterprises can all use Zhetong Power Supply.

This is not only about providing a big order, but also an endorsement for Zhetong Electric Power on another level.

So when Lin Zhe heard Nong Weiqi's decision, he was even more surprised.

"Then I would like to thank Mr. Nong first."

As he spoke, Lin Zhe also reciprocated the courtesy and raised his glass to toast Nong Weiqi.

Then Nong Weiqi specifically said that the Jincheng plant of Zhetong Electric Power will soon be put into operation in the next few days, so Lin Zhe made a special trip to Jincheng.

Nong Weiqi will be present at the opening ceremony. He had inspected the construction site when it was still under construction, so he has to join in the fun when the business opens.

This was naturally a better thing, and Lin Zhe agreed immediately.

……

While Lin Zhe and Nong Weiqi were having dinner in the Jincheng Banquet Hall, a man in a villa on the other side of Jincheng was smoking one cigarette after another. His wife could hardly help saying anything when she saw this.

Because she knew that her husband was worried, she let him smoke. The man's name was Mao Hanxue, the chairman of Xuehan Power Group, the largest power company in Jincheng.

Compared with other places where there are complicated power companies of varying sizes, Jincheng is relatively simple. All the electricity used in Jincheng comes from Hanxue Power.

More than ten years ago, Mao Hanxue relied on his connections and means to unify the Jincheng power supply market, turning it from a dominant player into a complete monopoly.

This position alone quickly made Mao Hanxue a man worth tens of billions. Now that Zhetong Electric Power, a new player from outside the country, is coming in strong, Mao Hanxue naturally has to think of a way to come up with a countermeasure.

Jincheng is such a big market, but he is unwilling to transfer it no matter how much money he is offered.

So now Mao Hanxue is very worried. The Jincheng Power Plant of Zhetong Electric Power Group is about to be put into use, and he must do something.

When Zhetong's factory was still under construction, Mao Hanxue took action and planned to use his connections to stop the construction of Zhetong's factory.

After all, any one of the issues, whether it is fire protection or safety, is reasonable and legal. Even if the construction of the Zhetong Power Plant is in full compliance with the regulations, who can withstand an inspection every day?
If any small problems are discovered, they will be dealt with immediately and work will be suspended for a few days for rectification.

Who can bear it if it comes a few times from time to time? Wouldn't the construction period be suspended indefinitely?

Mao Hanxue spent several million dollars on this matter and made arrangements with everyone, but who knows how Lin Zhe got in touch with Nong Weiqi, who actually went to the construction site of Zhetong Electric Power to inspect the work.

Could a person of his rank just randomly choose the place he inspected on a whim? There must be a deeper meaning behind it.

Now, the Jincheng plant of Zhetong Electric Power has become a place that Nong Weiqi has inspected. Who dares to do something tricky? Who dares to trip him up behind his back? Do you think the official hat on your head is too much of a hindrance?

Not only did millions of dollars go down the drain, but nothing was accomplished at all.

Mao Hanxue watched helplessly as the Jincheng plant of Zhetong Electric Power was built step by step. Now it was about to be put into use. The start of production meant that Zhetong was officially going to compete with him for his job, which made Mao Hanxue restless.

Now we have to find a way out.

He lit another cigarette. This time, Mao Hanxue felt like his lungs were on fire because he had smoked too much. He lit a cigarette but didn't smoke it. He just held it in his hand.

As Mao Hanxue's thoughts shifted, a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.

Lin Zhe is in touch with Nong Weiqi, so relying on official connections will definitely not work.

But Mao Hanxue also has his means. He was able to fight his way out of more than 20 power plants of all sizes in Jincheng and now supplies electricity to the entire city. In addition to some official connections, means are also indispensable.

Although he usually looks quite elegant, people who are familiar with Mao Hanxue know that ruthlessness is his style of doing things.

……

After squeezing out the cigarette, Mao Hanxue had already made a decision in his mind.

Now the Jincheng plant of Zhetong Electric Power has not officially started production yet. It will be troublesome to make any small moves after it is officially opened and put into production.

The factory has not yet officially started production and there is still a chance as the factory does not have full staff.

Moreover, Mao Hanxue had learned about Zhetong Power specifically. Although he was not sure what was going on, he knew that Zhetong Power relied on biomass to generate electricity, and the source of electricity was the little ant on their group's logo.

After some thought, Mao Hanxue decided to stick to his own style of doing things, that is, the brave ones would die of overeating and the timid ones would die of starvation.

The entry of Zhetong Electric Power is a huge crisis, but if we can seize the opportunity and find a way to steal Zhetong Electric Power's biopower generation technology, it will not only help us overcome the crisis, but will also be a huge opportunity.

If he could really steal this technology, his Xuehan Electric Power would be very successful. In the future, his territory would not only be Jincheng, but could even extend to other places.

Not to mention that it has become what Zhetong Power is today, with several mega cities under its control, it can at least significantly reduce the cost of power generation and make a fortune.

Thinking of this, Mao Hanxue not only felt his worries disappear, but he became excited and his heartbeat quickened.

If this could really come to fruition, it would be easy to increase my net worth several times.

Thinking of this, Mao Hanxue was slowly losing his mind.

……

At 10:23 pm, outside the gate of Zhetong Electric Power Jincheng Factory.

Although it has not been put into use yet, the security work of Zhetong Electric Power has always been online. Moreover, because the factory is about to be put into production, the Volt Ants and some machines transported from Binhai are all in the factory.

Therefore, the security department has been set up in advance, and most of the recruits are local veterans, so there is absolutely no problem with their quality and combat effectiveness.

There will be two security guards at the gate, and three people in the gatehouse, a total of five people.

This is already a very luxurious configuration for an enterprise. Generally speaking, there are only one or two people at the gate. After all, one more person means more personnel costs.

In addition to the security staff at the gate, there are also patrol staff in the factory area. Although it has not yet started production, security work has also started.

At half past ten, a convoy of cars drove up the main road near the outskirts of the city, a classic combination of Jinbei cars.

A total of eight Jinbei cars drove all the way to the gate of Zhetong Electric Power Jincheng Plant.

At this time, the security personnel at the gate suddenly became alert after seeing the convoy approaching in the distance, because the company has notifications for the arrival of convoys, whether they are transporting goods or internal vehicles of the group.

The security department's announcement tonight did not mention the arrival of a convoy.

"Gatekeeper, there's a convoy coming to the main road southeast of the factory. Please check the notice for tonight. There's no convoy coming to the factory, right?"

"No, let's see what's going on."

Hearing the voice on the intercom, the two men at the gate instantly became alert and stared at the approaching convoy.

I thought maybe it was just passing by, but the car stopped directly after it arrived at the factory gate.

Jinbei cars are cheap, durable and easy to thieves to carry.

The car door opened, and seven or eight thugs armed with sticks got out of the car. After seeing this scene, Zhetong's security personnel secretly said "bad" and then quickly ran to the gatehouse.

"Something happened! Hurry up and call for help! Bring blast shields and blast forks!"

The group had prepared for this kind of situation, but it wasn't that serious. They thought there would be only a few drunk people causing trouble. It was unexpected that sixty or seventy people came out as soon as the car was opened.

No one would have thought that in this day and age there are still people who dare to do this.

Just now when they heard on the intercom that a convoy was approaching, the three people in the gatehouse had already started to prepare. After hearing the shouting, two of them immediately picked up the explosion-proof shields and rushed out.

The other person also picked up the intercom and spoke.
