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

Chapter 34 034 The line from the power plant to the county town has started construction!
That afternoon, the Human Resources Department called each person who had been interviewed to inform them of the results.

During this morning, a total of fifty-six former Qingchuan Electric Power employees came for interviews.

Forty-two of them finally got admission tickets to Zhetong Electric Power in batches, which is a very high ratio.

Wang Shaoyun also saw on his mobile phone that in the previous group chat with colleagues, people were constantly sharing good news.

Some people were in the first batch and officially joined Zhetong Electric Power three days later and became a member of Zhetong Electric Power since then.

Some people are in the second batch and can only start work after a week.

Anyway, no matter which batch, these people are happier than each other.

During the interview, the boss said that he would not reduce their salaries just because they were former Qingchuan Electric Power employees.

At Zhetong Electric Power, all employees in the same job category receive basically the same treatment.

The basic salary combined with overtime pay is much higher than that at Qingchuan Electric Power. Everyone is very enthusiastic and the group chat is naturally lively.

"Haha, I just received a call informing me that I will start work in three days!"

"Brothers, this is really a blessing in disguise. I have also received a notification call. The second batch will take a week off."

"Why is there no movement here? No one called me."

"I got a call! I was so worried just now."

……

Looking at the messages flying up and down in the group chat, Wang Shaoyun felt more uncomfortable than being scratched by a cat.

"Why hasn't the call come yet?"

"Is it possible that I registered the wrong phone number?"

"How could that be? No way, Mr. Lin has already handed me a cigarette..."

When it was night time, Wang Shaoyun threw aside his phone, which he had opened countless times. Only then did he realize that he had no chance at all.

"Damn it, I should have stayed at Zhetong Electric Power."

But life is not a novel, there are no ifs.

……

Half a month later, Zhetong Power had smoothly started supplying power to a total of six small towns in the surrounding area.

Because the circuit is received ready-made, it is very convenient.

Previously, the number of Zhetong Electric Power's power supply vehicles increased from five to fifteen.

They are all the same as before, all Great Wall pickup trucks.

Among these fifteen vehicles, ten are exclusively for each power team, and the remaining five are temporary vehicles.

It can be used by both circuit laying teams and maintenance teams.

Currently, there are thirteen civilian staff members in various departments of Zhetong Electric Power. In addition, if the former doorman and two security guards are included, it can barely be considered a security department.

The rest are the front-line electricians, a total of seventy-two people, forming fourteen power teams, responsible for all major and minor power affairs in the factory.

After such a long period of development, the number of Volt Ants in Lin Zhe's hands is now astronomical.

The amount of electricity generated by so many Volt Ants is an astronomical figure, and these towns are simply unable to digest it. Lin Zhe has been preparing for so long, and now it is natural for him to head towards the county town.

……

One fleet consists of three truckloads of poles and five truckloads of cables.

There are also the steel frames that make up the high-voltage transmission towers, which were bought by Lin Zhe at a high price.

Previously, Engineer Wang and his team had been exploring the route day and night, and had already determined the final route map.

On the road from Shima Town to the county seat, Zhetong Power will build 36 high-voltage power towers for switching, which are responsible for the main work of power transmission.

In addition, after reaching the county town, the subdivided circuit transmission is handed over to the construction of cable lines on telephone poles.

This project is very large, so Lin Zhe plans to recruit more people to work overtime to complete it. In this process, not only professional electricians are needed, but also temporary workers who are strong and capable of working.

……

After communication, the Shima Town government also issued a notice.

The Zhetong power transmission line project requires a large number of construction workers. All healthy adult males between the ages of 18 and 55 can sign up.

Because it is hard work, and most of the high-voltage towers are on the mountains, it is difficult enough for people to walk up, let alone work.

So the price Lin Zhe offered was also very high, two hundred and sixty per day, and the company provided meals.

If this happens on a construction site, only skilled workers can get this price.

In a small place like Lincheng, a laborer doing purely manual labor can only earn around 180 to 200 yuan a day.

So after this announcement was issued, there was an immediate wave of registration in Shima Town.

After all, you only get 260 yuan for a day's work, and there are not many such opportunities at home.

For those who stay in the local area and do not go out to work, it is not easy to make money on a daily basis. They rely on tending a few acres of land or finding odd jobs nearby to supplement their family income.

In just one day, the Shima Town government received more than 200 registrations.

Lin Zhe was also very happy. Since everyone had signed up and met the requirements, he would take them all. With more people, work could be done faster.

In this way, the construction process of the circuit from Shima Town to Lincheng County began.

……

On the first day of the project, Lin Zhe personally drove the factory car to the first few locations to take a look.

The road ahead was fine as it was all flat ground and it wasn't difficult to ride along the county road.

But things were different when Lin Zhe drove the car halfway up the mountain. Several points here were extremely difficult.

Even a small helicopter was dispatched to pull the machine up, and then a cableway was manually built to transport the materials.

Not only is it hard for people to work here, but Lin Zhe's wallet is also suffering.

It's a waste of money and effort. No wonder Qingchuan's electricity couldn't be developed before. The power plant in the county is also located inside the county.

Under the private ownership of electricity, which power plant is willing to spend so much money to build a line to go there? Only the government will pay for such a line to be built.

In Lin Zhe's vision, in the future Zhetong Power will build a power grid based on such a county.

There is only one Zhetong Power plant in each county, which has many advantages and is easy to manage.

As for the extra money spent on the lines like now, I will regard it as my return to the local area. After all, I feel that this money is earned too easily.

Spend some of the money to build a power grid. Wouldn't it be a feat to connect the entire country?
Moreover, this process provided local jobs and boosted the economy, which made the higher-ups happy as well, and it was a win-win situation for everyone.

……

Several locations were working at the same time and were busy with work, and the logistics of Zhetong Electric Power were not left behind.

Lin Zhe saw with his own eyes how hard these workers worked, so he specifically instructed them to prepare good food.

The standard combination is two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, and each meal is served with a chicken drumstick.

These were all arranged early on. At lunchtime, a power supply pickup truck with the words "Zhetong Electric Power" printed on it came to each location with thermal insulation boxes loaded on the back to distribute lunch.

After hearing the news that lunch was served, these simple workers stopped their work, wiped the sweat off their faces, then took their lunch boxes and sat down on the ground.

They never asked for food; a few steamed buns and a bottle of water were enough for a meal.

They didn't have any special expectations about Zhetong Electric Power providing meals. The salary was already so high anyway, so it didn't matter what they ate as long as they could fill their stomachs.

Most people think so, and they have done a lot of work on construction sites, so they know the standard of meal provision, which is just rice with a few slices of fat and some fried shredded potatoes, which is not as delicious as the food at home.

But today, after they opened the lunch box lids, most of them were stunned.
