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

Chapter 284 Chapter 283 The Butterfly Effect, the Collapse of Xuehan Electric Power
Mao Xuehan was already annoyed, and now that Boss Hu was still yelling these things, he could no longer bear it.

"Sue? Go away, if you don't go, I'm your grandson. It's clearly written in black and white on the power supply contract that prepaid electricity fees are non-refundable. You can do whatever you want."

"Xiao Wang, show the guest out!"

As he was speaking, two people came into Mao Xuehan's office, carried Boss Hu and walked out.

This also made him anxious. If he really spent more than 700,000 yuan, it would be half of the house in Jincheng. How could he not feel bad?

"Boss Mao! How about this, refund half! Just half! I'll take care of the rest myself. The main thing is that your power outage has caused a lot of anger among the merchants, and the higher-ups told me to ask Zhetong Electric to restore the power supply. I can't make the decision on the rest. How about half?"

Although Boss Hu is not considered rich in Jincheng, he is at least a high-level figure.

There are very few times when I feel so embarrassed, but now I have no choice.

But even so, he lowered his posture and begged Mao Xuehan to back down halfway, but Mao Xuehan remained unmoved.

"Boss Hu, can you just leave on your own? Don't let my people ask the security guards to carry you out. If you come here today, I will refund you half of the money. If someone else comes tomorrow, do I have to refund them half of the money as well?"

"You take half and he takes half. Can I still open my power plant? This is not a game. How can we do things like that? Let's go back."

……

Downstairs of Hanxue Electric Power Building, Mr. Hu, who had just come out, lit a cigarette with a gloomy expression.

Seven hundred thousand is enough to buy half a house in Jincheng, but Mao Xuehan doesn't say a word now, so don't blame me for causing trouble for him.

There is a reason why I became the property manager of Feitian Plaza.

My uncle works in the Consumer Association and holds a fairly high position.

If he had taken this relationship into consideration, he might have lost his job because he had privately signed the power supply contract with Hanxue Electric Power and used one million yuan in property fees and other public funds to fill in the payment.

Thinking of this, Boss Hu took a deep breath and then began to take out his phone.

Although it was signed in black and white, based on consumer concepts, the terms of Hanxue Electric Power are somewhat unfair. If the case is really brought to court, it is hard to say who is right or wrong.

At that time, I won’t talk about getting back all the 700,000 yuan, but at least I can get back as much as I can, half will be enough, or 20 or 30 percent will be fine.

With this idea in mind, Boss Hu contacted his uncle.

……

It was already afternoon by then, and the maintenance personnel sent by Hanxue Electric Power had barely completed the inspection and figured out the problem.

I originally thought that the person sent out would be able to solve the problem after completing the inspection, but after checking, I found that the problem was serious.

The wiring in this area is completely broken and needs to be replaced and reconnected, which is a time-consuming task.

Moreover, four or five people are not enough for this power team. This is a big project.

So Hanxue Electric Power immediately arranged several vehicles to go there, but now a lot of time has passed and the day passed in a flash.

At night, the Feitian Plaza Shopping Center was brightly lit. The staff of Zhetong Electric Power Group immediately connected the plaza to Zhetong's power transmission lines when they used mobile power supply vehicles to supply power.

Once the electricity was restored, all businesses in the mall were able to open for business, the flow of people gradually returned to normal, and the merchants' hostility disappeared without a trace.

The leader of the group to which Feitian Plaza belongs also came down to take a look, and left satisfied after seeing that everything had returned to normal.

Everyone is basically very satisfied. Fortunately, there is now the Zhetong Electric Power Group, which can quickly complete the power supply and ensure normal operation.

But except for one person, Boss Hu is still smoking alone in his office.

He has already contacted his eldest uncle, and he will take the route of prosecution anyway. In order to keep his job, he has already taken out 500,000 yuan from his savings for the 700,000 yuan, and then asked relatives and friends to collect some more.

A total of 700,000 has been deposited into the group's public account, and the hole has been filled.

But Boss Hu's heart was bleeding, he had to get the 700,000 yuan back from Hanxue Electric Power!
……

On the other side, there are still many people who are still holding on.

The area started to lose power last night, and the power supply had not been restored by the next evening. Some users who could have continued to wait could no longer do so.

Just last night, Hanxue Electric Power lost seven to eight hundred businesses.

By this evening, the staff at Hanxue Power Plant also began to work on emergency power restoration, but they still could not restore power in a short period of time.

Therefore, the number is still increasing. There are hundreds more merchants on the Zhetong Power side. As of now, nearly 90% of the merchants in the entire power outage area have abandoned Hanxue Power and chosen Zhetong Power.

Ordinary residents who could have waited are beginning to lose their patience.

There was still a balance in the card, so we just had to be patient and it would pass. We thought that after the power outage last night, the power would be restored after a good night's sleep.

As a result, the power supply was not restored throughout the whole day, and there is still no power even now in the evening.

Everyone couldn't stand it anymore. After all, they were used to having convenient water and electricity. Now they couldn't stand it anymore because there was no electricity for two consecutive nights.

In a house in the power outage area, the husband and wife were arguing.

"What did I say? This lousy Hanxue Power just won't supply electricity. I asked you to sign up with Zhetong Power Supply directly, but you just couldn't bear to pay the several dozen dollars for electricity. Now, there's still no electricity tonight!"

"I work hard all day and I hope to take a hot bath when I come home. Now, let alone a hot bath, it's so dark that it's hard to even cook."

The man felt helpless when listening to his wife yelling and scolding.

After all, their house is relatively small, and a few dozen yuan is the electricity bill for a month. He just paid fifty yuan on his mobile phone two days ago.

If I use Zhetong Electricity, it means that the dozens of dollars in the account will be gone, so I didn’t choose Zhetong Electricity at the first time. But now, who knew that there has been no power from Hanxue Electricity for the past two days.

My daughter-in-law was making a fuss and there was nothing I could do but let her do what she wanted.

"Okay, okay, the Zhetong Electric Power car is right downstairs in the community. I'll go down and ask them to switch the power supply. They're very fast. You just wait at home for a while, and stop making noise."

As he said this, the man picked up the keys and cigarette box on the table and left home.

It is probably a sad thing for a middle-aged man to not be able to earn money and be trapped in the family and confined to day and night, but what can we do about it? Life must go on.

Leaving home, he came downstairs and the air was fresh. He took a few breaths and felt much more comfortable without the noise of his wife. He lit a cigarette and puffed it happily as he walked towards the power supply vehicle of Zhetong Electric Power. There were staff from the business hall in the vehicle responsible for registration, and there were several other vehicles nearby.

They are all front-line power workers of Zhetong Power. They will connect power supply to community users as soon as possible.

"Oh~ Damn it, I was wasted a few dozen dollars, it's so fucking boring!"

After saying that, the man threw away the cigarette butt and stepped on it hard on the ground, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate and bent down to pick up the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can.

Looking up, I saw a banner in front of the power supply truck, which was an advertisement for the marketing department of Zhetong Power.

"There will always be a time to ride the wind and waves, and it is never too late to choose Zhetong..."

After seeing the words on the banner, the man smiled and walked over.

Never mind, just let him pay a few dozen dollars and directly choose Zhetong Electric Power Supply to solve the problem once and for all. Besides, it’s time for me to leave home and look for job opportunities outside.

Having been laid off for a long time, he chose Zhetong Electric Power and of course said goodbye to the past at the same time. I hope this man can also ride the wind and waves one day.

……

As time goes by, the number of people who choose Zhetong Electric Power tonight has exceeded that of last night.

It's true, high-end business wars are not messy, all you have to do is wait for your opponent to make a mistake.

On the other side, the people from Hanxue Electric Power were still replacing equipment under the bridge pier. I didn't know whether it was because they were amateurs or they had no enthusiasm for the work, but the progress was very slow.

However, Mao Xuehan heard that the power had not been restored until 8:30 the next evening, so he drove to the scene of the accident immediately.

When he arrived at the place, he saw this scene: twenty people from four power teams were just playing, turning on the lights and leisurely replacing parts in their hands.

After seeing this scene, Mao Xuehan was extremely angry.

"Can you guys please stop doing this? If not, get out of here!"

"Isn't it just repairing the power supply? Why are you dawdling? Do you really think the group is keeping idle people? Be quick, the customer is about to scold us like a grandson, and we are still dawdling."

After being scolded, the employees moved faster, but they all looked unhappy.

Although his hands were moving faster, he was complaining in his heart.

With only a few thousand yuan salary a month, the front-line staff are very busy, but Mao Xuehan, on the other hand, just keeps talking about this and that, or telling them to learn the spirit of dedication.

They come to work not to earn money to support their families and to contribute? That's really strange.

Moreover, with the entry of Zhetong Electric Power, these employees also realized one thing: sometimes the gap between people is really greater than the gap between humans and other species.

The front-line electricians of Zhetong Electric Power Group only work eight hours a day, and the extra time is calculated at three times the hourly wage. Even if they are given decades of work, Hanxue Electric Power Group will never be able to match this.

In addition, the basic salary there is nearly twice as much as theirs, which is just over 3,000 yuan a month.

Moreover, today their car was parked here to repair the circuit, and they saw the power supply truck of Zhetong Electric Power passing by from time to time.

The Golden Dragon pickup truck they were driving was almost scrapped, and who knows how many years old this old car was. But the people from Zhetong Electric Power were driving Buick Falcon, and they all looked very impressive and cool.

This comparison makes it impossible to even talk about dedication.

But at this moment Mao Xuehan was still speaking tirelessly.

"That's right, hurry up with the work at hand. It's not easy for this company to support you, right? You have to work hard to repay the company."

Seeing that the employees in front of him seemed to be moving a little faster, Mao Xuehan felt that his preaching had some effect, so he continued to speak.

"Everyone should think more about the company. This year I will try to spend a little more and give back to everyone. If I give you a bigger year-end bonus, everyone will have a good year, but you have to do your job well."

After PUA finished preaching, he started to paint a rosy picture. This is what Mao Xuehan is best at after being a boss for so many years.

Now looking at the workers in silence, he thought that his words had worked, but he didn't know how disgusted the busy workers were in their hearts.

……

At 10:30 the next morning, Hanxue Power finally restored power supply in the area, but they also lost 90 percent of the commercial electricity customers in the area, as well as more than half of the residential electricity users.

All these people switched to the name of Zhetong Electric Power.

For Mao Xuehan, the total loss in electricity bills is almost 10 million to 20 million yuan a year, which if converted into profit is less than 1 million yuan.

Although it's a bit painful, it's completely acceptable.

But what he didn't know was that a disaster was brewing for him.

……

Boss Hu has been very busy these days. In addition to consulting his uncle, he also consulted a lawyer in this regard, and they all came to a unanimous conclusion.

The pre-deposit payment contract of Hanxue Electric Power is not legally binding because that clause violates the basic legal provisions, so it is natural to file a lawsuit.

This time, Boss Hu gritted his teeth and directly put forward his request. With the help of his uncle, Mao Xuehan soon received a notice from the Consumer Association.

We demand that Hanxue Electric Power fully refund Mr. Hu the remaining unused electricity bill of RMB 728,0323.50 in accordance with the Consumer Protection Regulations.

After receiving this notice, Mao Xuehan was stunned. The terms that he had been using for so many years were actually useless? He immediately consulted the lawyers cooperating with the group and got this result.

Their prepayment clause was made more than ten years ago, when consumer protection was not yet perfect. But now the Consumer Protection Regulations have clearly stipulated that such clauses are unfair clauses and have no legal effect.

Mao Xuehan was confused, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, the notice has been received. If he still refuses to pay, he may have to go to court, which is something he doesn't want to see. So he can only swallow the disgust and return all the more than 700,000 yuan to Boss Hu's account, of course after deducting the 20% refund.

In this way, Boss Hu did not make any profit, but he also did not lose anything as he completed the replacement of the power company.

Mao Xuehan's work was in vain, but this was just a starting point, because the butterfly effect caused by the refund had just begun.

ps: I'm going home tomorrow. I haven't accomplished anything, but I have to go home. I have to take the train and then take a bus back to my hometown. I don't have any manuscripts saved, so I'm sorry to everyone. I'll take a day off tomorrow to make some adjustments. There will be a time to ride the wind and waves. I'll study the new book. Thank you for your support! This book didn't make any money, but I gained all the loyal fans. When the time comes, I will continue to finish this book while releasing the new book (ps part is not counted in the paid word count)
