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

Chapter 29 Qingchuan Power Boss Broke His Defense

As he spoke, Lin Zhe took away the black plastic bag, revealing a stack of red tickets underneath.

They were all brand new bills taken out from the bank, in stacks of 10,000 yuan with notes attached. These were two stacks of 20,000 yuan.

"Engineer Wang, you have to take this money no matter what. It's not for nothing. You'll be busy these two days. You should train the new electricians."

The previous recruitment results have come out. There are about ten civilian staff and fifteen electricians. They have already completed the entry procedures.

Just wait for the original plan to go to Shima Town to officially start work one day later.

Before going to work, because they all had a technical foundation but there was still a gap, Lin Zhe planned to let Engineer Wang, the former gold medal electrician, give them training and lessons.

The previous batch of people were hired in a hurry, so they didn’t even have time to receive training before they started working.

But in the early days, these electricians were the backbone of the factory's development and technical force. Lin Zhe still hoped that their technical level could be maintained at a very high level.

So we simply let Engineer Wang guide them, and improve the technical level of those with low skills during the training.

As for those who already have a good technical level, they can improve it further.

Lin Zhe was well aware of Engineer Wang's training ability. The kid named Wang Shaoyun had gone from a newbie like himself to a qualified electrician in just over a week under Engineer Wang's guidance.

But later I heard that the guy went to Qingchuan Electric Power.

After talking about the training, Lin Zhe saw that Mr. Wang was still a little hesitant, so he spoke again.

"Just take it. After the training, the factory will have to lay the line to the county town. You will be responsible for the planning then."

After hearing what Lin Zhe said, Wang Gong's eyes also showed a hint of excitement.

Is this going to develop towards the county town?
From small towns to county towns, this is what many power plants dream of, including Qingchuan Power, which is now engaged in a price war with them.

And now Lin Zhe means that he has made up his mind to move Zhetong Electric Power step by step towards a broader space.

If time passes, Zhetong Power will probably be able to expand to the provincial capital, and then it will be able to compete with the large power plants that I have retired from, right?

Thinking of this, Wang Shuqing felt like he was "alive".

Moreover, Lin Zhe said that in addition to training personnel, the planning of the circuit leading to the county town was also handed over to him.

To put it nicely, this is the position I had always dreamed of, an electrical engineer, and I can now demonstrate my ambitions from that time.

How could he not be excited to transform from a retired old man into a new warrior who was expanding new territories?

After carefully putting away the two stacks of cash on the table, Wang Shuqing found several books that had been covered in dust for a long time from the room.

Those were the books I bought when I first started working in the industry, "Electrician Primer" and "Electrician Advanced Level"...

Although I regard these books as treasures, I have never taken them out since I retired.

The reference books from decades ago were much better than those of today. He planned to take them out to find the key knowledge points and then go to the town to print them out.

It will then be used by the employees of Zhetong Electric Power who are receiving training.

Since Lin Zhe gave him the task of training, he had to turn all these people into core technical forces.

……

After more than a week of tug-of-war, the residents of Liangshui Town are now the envy of people in other surrounding towns.

Because in Liangshui Town, electricity is as cheap as one cent per kilowatt-hour, which is even cheaper than cabbage.

Naturally, Lin Zhe was not worried about the price at all. Shima Town and Liangshui Town were very close, and the circuit investment cost was not high, so he could make some money at one cent per kilowatt-hour of electricity.

What's more, the factories that previously occupied the majority of the market still supplied electricity according to the contract price. Therefore, Lin Zhe even had the leisure to renovate business halls in several other neighboring towns and open them immediately.

But the situation is different at Qingchuan Electric Power.

Pan Chenhui, chairman of Qingchuan Electric Power, has been looking forward to the news that Zhetong Electric Power will not be able to survive every day recently.

Not only has the news not arrived yet, but I also heard that Zhetong Power is repairing business offices in several other towns supplied by Qingchuan Power.

This made Pan Chenhui very puzzled.

How the hell did they do that? Is there a bank behind Zhetong Electric Power? How come they haven’t seen any signs of trouble for so long?
Before, when the big companies could swallow the small ones, they didn’t even need to engage in price wars. But now price wars are no longer effective?

The electricity costs 1 cent per kilowatt-hour, and Pan Chenhui loses 50 cents for every kilowatt-hour of electricity produced. Zhetong Electric Power is fine, but he can't stand it anymore.

Looking at the new report on the table, Pan Chenhui felt annoyed.

"These damned unruly people, they really think electricity is free! Why the fucking price keeps rising!"

Stimulated by low electricity prices, users who are usually very frugal will naturally use electricity more lavishly.

People used to be reluctant to turn on the air conditioner, but now they turn it on when they are indoors. Even late at night, every household in Liangshui Town is brightly lit.

Naturally, the electricity consumption skyrocketed.

And the low electricity prices have even spawned a business.

“Charging service on behalf of others.”

In rural areas, many people use electric vehicles, and electric tricycles are also used for farm work.

For these families, a large part of their electricity bills goes into charging these electric vehicles.

Now, some "smugglers" have discovered business opportunities.

Electricity costs 1 cent per kilowatt-hour. If you go to other towns and bring batteries to charge them, they will charge you 20 to 30 cents and make a profit from the difference.

This is half the normal price, so people from nearby come to Liangshui Town to charge their phones.

Even some big owners with trucks directly contacted the battery dealers in the city, drove to the city to bring back truckloads of batteries, and then filled them up in Liangshui Town before sending them back.

This also led to a surge in the amount of civilian power supply in Liangshui Town, reaching an average of more than 80,000 kWh per day, a terrifying number.

Now only God knows how many people are using the electricity supply in Liangshui Town.

Qingchuan Power suffers a loss of more than 40,000 to nearly 50,000 yuan a day in Liangshui Town.

In these ten days alone, Qingchuan Power has lost more than 300,000 yuan, from the initial daily losses of several thousand to the current 50,000 yuan.

And now it seems that this is still a bottomless pit.

After reading the report again, Pan Chenhui felt a headache and made a decision to go to Liangshui Town in person to see what was going on.

Two hours later, a Mercedes-Benz followed by two Passats drove into Liangshui town.

After parking the car, Pan Chenhui got off and happened to pass by an electric tricycle loaded with dozens of batteries of various sizes.

The driver was humming a little tune while driving, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood. He could earn more than a hundred yuan from the difference in price on this trip.

After seeing this scene, Pan Chenhui felt so angry that his teeth were itching.

"They are simply unruly people!"
