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

Chapter 300 299 Zhetong Power? Zhetong Energy!
Chengdu is very busy at the moment, as a large number of Chengdu official companies are using Zhetong Electricity and are also promoting it on their own initiative.

After all, companies also need to make money and create "added value", so it's good for them to promote themselves.

For example, after the Chengdu Metro was connected to Zhetong Electricity, they started publicity directly without Lin Zhe having to pay for it. They would explain the matter on the integrated media in the subway car.

"Currently, the Chengdu Metro has used Zhetong environmentally friendly electricity throughout its entire line to help the city's green development."

As the company grows bigger, it will face more criticisms from all sides, so naturally the fewer problems there are, the better.

For example, extreme environmentalists would think that this is not environmentally friendly. They are even naive enough to believe that humans should ride bicycles to and from get off work and that buses and subways should be closed.

Normal people know clearly that these people are idiots, but they are really annoying.

Now the Chengdu Metro has directly stated that we use environmentally friendly electricity, so what else can we say?

In addition, it is also a good thing for ordinary users who are not so crazy.

After all, everyone has the same goal, which is to do good things within one's ability if it does not affect one's own interests.

After all, bad people are a minority, and the world still needs the majority of people to move forward.

This is a good thing for Chengdu Metro, so they will naturally take the initiative to promote it.

……

On the other hand, in addition to the Chengdu Metro, more and more places have used Zhetong Power Supply these days thanks to the hard work of front-line power workers.

These can be seen by the locals, and can be considered as a form of advertising.

The front-line employees made great contributions. They worked very quickly and completed the laying of the circuits with guaranteed quality in such a short time.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the group's strategy. Zhetong Electric Power has always adhered to the tradition of "old leading new".

Although you have undergone employee induction training and technical training, as long as you have just entered Zhetong Electric Power Group, your team members will definitely consist of two old employees and three new employees.

Even if the group needs to transfer people here, they must ensure this configuration and not be afraid of trouble.

After all, it is not easy to transfer people here. For example, employees transferred from the Binhai factory will work in Chengdu for one or two months and then return to Binhai, which will incur additional expenses.

Since they are on a business trip, the group will naturally give them a little more travel allowance.

This is a real expense, but Lin Zhe never saves money on this point, nor does he think about how to cut employees' salaries.

In addition, the tradition of "old employees leading new employees" will not change. With old employees around, their experience and skills can help new employees quickly grow into the "vanguard" of a group and possess certain hard power.

Not only circuit laying but also circuit maintenance can be completed quickly and safely.

These employees with strong technical capabilities are the group's greatest treasure.

Only when old employees bring new employees along can a group of available people be quickly brought into the group.

……

On the other side, Lin Zhe returned to Binhai and came to Binhai’s official office.

This time he came here to accomplish a big thing. Now Lin Zhe has clearly realized what the future development of Zhetong Electric Power will be like.

So Lin Zhe decided to change the name of the group. It was previously called Zhetong Electric Power Group, but now it is simply called Zhetong Energy Group.

Of course, the name of Zhetong Electric Power will continue to remain unchanged and will have almost no impact on the group. Everything is normal.

However, in the industrial and commercial registration, the company name has been changed to Zhetong Energy Group. Power supply business is one of the group’s main businesses, and it will involve other aspects in the future.

For example, the cable factory that the group is now vigorously promoting, the latest batch of samples has been sent to the Zhetong factory in Binhai.

It was sent to the group's research center laboratory for strength and safety tests.

The results were quite gratifying, at least Lin Zhe was quite satisfied.

Lin Zhe spent a lot of money on this matter and invited a large number of experts and professional technicians. He also offended many colleagues for this. After all, poaching is poaching from someone else.

But now that the results are out, Lin Zhe is very satisfied.

Cables are very simple to make. You only need enough raw materials and even some manual labor to make one for you.

After all, conducting electricity is not a technical job, but it is still difficult to do it well.

The requirement given by Lin Zhe is that every section of cable produced by the Zhetong Cable Factory in Lincheng County, Quanhe City must meet the quality requirements of not being damaged for decades under normal circumstances.

Of course, this is under normal circumstances, and does not involve some natural disasters, etc. For example, in a highly corrosive environment, it may only last for a few years.

Of course, corresponding versions can also be produced to enhance certain features.

For example, on some islands, the cables hanging on the cliffs and the offshore oil platforms are all eroded by sea breeze and sea water all year round.

The high-salt seawater is quite corrosive. Under the constant exposure to wind, sun and seawater all year round, a cable that can normally last for ten years inland may die after just a few months here.

That's also very simple, just wrap a layer of anti-corrosion material on the surface of the cable.

Now that his own cable factory can produce this quality, Lin Zhe has absolutely no problem. Next, he will need to produce in large quantities to meet the current expansion of the group.

……

In Lincheng County, with the Zhetong Cable Factory coming into operation in Chengjiao Town, the place has become lively.

In the past, this was just a large wasteland with few people. At most, some local residents would raise a few cattle and sheep and bring them here for a stroll.

What's left are some vegetables grown by the locals, and no one stops by all year round except those passing by.

But now it’s different, it’s become lively here.

Apart from anything else, there are more than a thousand employees in the Zhetong Cable Factory alone, which is almost half of the population of the suburban town.

Of course, this is the population that currently lives in the town and does not go out to work or study.

Most of the small towns in the country are in this somewhat desolate state, with young people and strong laborers going out to study or work.

The elderly and children who stayed in the area became a generation of lonely watchmen, with wheat fields and ponds as their only companions.

Of course, there are also less developed environments.

No one knows the answer to this question; perhaps the answer is blowing in the wind.

So Chengjiao Town is the former Shima Town. Shima Town is now recovering its former prosperity because of the boost given by the Zhetong Power Plant and the forest farm. Young people and strong laborers have returned and found jobs.

Even if they didn't have the opportunity to enter the Zhetong Electric Power Plant, there were so many people in the factory and there was no breakfast in the canteen in the morning, so they could make a living by selling breakfast in the town.

Nowadays, except during festivals, the population remaining in the suburban town is no more than 2,000 to 3,000 people.

Now more than a thousand people have poured in at once, which naturally makes it very lively. Some of them are from Shima Town, some are from Chengjiao Town, and some are from other towns and counties, including those from other places.

With so many people working in the cable factory, the cost of food and drink alone is high, and there is even an "Aijia Supermarket" inside the factory.

But after all, there are more than a thousand people, and if they get tired of the food in the cafeteria, they have to go to the town occasionally to change their taste.

If you don’t bring any drinks or cigarettes after dinner, you can buy a few packs of cigarettes from the various stores in the town.

This will boost the local economy. With more people, more small shops will appear, just like the Shima Town in the past.

There are also bars. There might be one in a small town, but they will close down soon.

The reason is very simple, there is no one. If no one comes to consume, then it will naturally not be able to sustain.

This has nothing to do with the boss running the business or anything, there’s just no one.

But it’s different now. There are more than a thousand people here, and there’s nothing to do when we get together to rest.

Some people choose to drink and chat in the dormitory.

Then some people will choose to go out and "sing a song".

These have completely boosted the entire suburban town and made it lively.

Some people therefore chose to return to their hometowns to seize this opportunity. Although they could not enter the Zhetong Electric Power factory, they could still return home and start a business.

After all, life at home is definitely better than outside. First of all, the pressure is not that great, and the consumption outside is so high, you spend it where you earn it, and you want to bring money home once you part with it.

But if you earn some money at home, you can save it.

With so many people in the town, many of them go to work outside to learn skills in the barber shop. When they come back, there are ready-made houses, so it is not bad to open a small barber shop.

If you work in the catering industry outside, you can open a small shop and sell food when you come back if you have some skills.

These are all good choices. At least there is hope.

The most frightening thing about doing business is that there are not enough people. As long as there are people, everything will be fine.

If all else fails, you can raise some pheasants or grow vegetables at home, which can be sold to the cable factory canteen.

People buy local fresh green food, and they can make money from it.

The cable factory has a slightly larger number of employees than previously expected, directly exceeding the one thousand mark. Currently, the total number of administrative positions and front-line staff is 1,212.

With so many people, and each of them has a stable salary, they are considered a high-spending group locally. It is not an exaggeration to say that they have increased the economic consumption of the entire town by three or five times.

In addition, it also indirectly boosted a lot of things. For example, those people who chose to open shops in their hometowns have to consume and spend money when they return to the town, so they are also integrated into the entire process, which boosted the whole process at once.

If you have popularity, then everything will make sense.

……

Including the head of the town police station, he found it quite boring when he came here before, after all, he only had to go out occasionally to deal with family disputes and quarrels.

But now with the arrival of so many people, he suddenly felt that it was "meaningful" again.

At least he, as the person in charge, has great potential.

Originally, there was nothing to be done on duty in the town, but after the cable factory started operating, he assigned a few people to work at the intersection every day when the cable factory got off work.

Let the vehicles passing by slow down, otherwise accidents may occur if they come too fast.

It's just like the security post at the school gate, it plays a lot of roles anyway.

After all, the Zhetong Cable Factory is a key enterprise in the city and even the province, so if there is a problem, it will be bad.

……

With the expansion of the group in the past two days, it started in Chengdu.

The cable factory was also busy with overtime work. Although it was a new factory, it had everything it needed. Besides, it was a factory under the group, so the overtime pay was sufficient.

Everyone is happy to be busy, after all, it's good to earn a little more.

At eight o'clock that evening, after working overtime at the factory, several young people met together at a small restaurant in the town.

We've been busy till this point, we still need to replenish some food.

After finishing the simple stir-fried dishes, a few people began to think about relaxing in the evening.

After all, we have been working overtime for several days in a row, and each of us has earned thousands of yuan in overtime pay alone. We should relax and have a rest tomorrow.

There are no restrictions on drinking in the dormitory, but the group also has regulations that you cannot be too noisy and disturb others who are resting.

There wasn't any foot massage parlor in this town, so after dinner we decided to go to the town's KTV. Although it was a little outdated, at least we could have a great night.

When we arrived at the KTV, we passed by a private room where several locals were gathered. They had just returned and were planning to start a business in their hometown. They were all drunk.

Because the door was not closed, the singing inside could be heard outside.

You know what, this tune is quite nice.

“I can’t understand why so many young people have to work.”

Accompanied by the singing, several people walked into the private room together.

……

The next morning, a large convoy of trucks arrived at the suburban town. They were all large trailers, and they all came to the factory empty.

The logo on the outside of this large trailer is also Zhetong Electric Power, which is also the transport fleet under the group's newly established transportation department.

After all, it was fine before. When I bought products from other companies, they would be responsible for delivering the products to me.

But now the group is using its own products. If it were to find a logistics company for such a thing, it would certainly be cost-effective in the short term, but in the long run it would be better for the group to do it itself.

So Lin Zhe approved the purchase of a batch of large trailers and hired full-time drivers.

They are responsible for the transportation of materials and equipment within the group.

Now all these vehicles have driven into the cable factory. The workers have finished their preparations and started loading the vehicles. Truckloads of cables are now being transported to Chengdu.

In addition, a portion of it was diverted and transported to Hubei and Han.
