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

Chapter 347 Chapter 346 Meeting with the Female Chairman of the Education Group
On the day of returning home, the trunk of Lin Zhe's car was filled with things his mother had made. No matter whether they were to eat them or not, he asked them to take them back and put them in the refrigerator.

Of course, this time it was Zhang Chen who drove back to Binhai, while Lin Zhe and Yan Xi took the high-speed rail back.

After all, the high-speed rail takes only a little over two hours from Quanhe Station to Binhai, but if you drive back, you will have to be on the road for at least four hours. The business class seat on the high-speed rail is naturally much more comfortable than the back seat of any luxury car.

Although Lin Zhe has grown up now and is the boss of a company like Zhetong Electric Power, his mother still reminded him of everything he should have before he left.

In addition to the things his mother brought, Lin Zhe also brought a lot of local things he liked to eat, such as some local specialties. These things cannot be found anywhere else outside of Lincheng. He packed them in an insulated box and put some ice packs in it. When he arrived in Binhai, he put them in the refrigerator and could eat them for a few meals.

Before leaving, Lin Zhe did not forget to scatter some fish food over there. The few little guys he brought from the old house had already integrated into the pond, and they all scrambled for the fish food as it was scattered.

"Mom, remember to feed my turtles and fish. Don't feed them when the weather is cold. The turtles can't digest them."

"I know. I will definitely take good care of your little ancestors."

……

After returning to Binhai, just like other young couples who work hard outside, the two of them went home to rest first. After Zhang Chen arrived and brought all these things home, they started to put things into the refrigerator.

After these two years, Zhang Chen has become Lin Zhe's personal driver and assistant.

This kid is considered lucky. He did not expect it at the beginning, or rather he already knew that his boss was excellent, but he did not expect him to be so excellent.

When he first joined the company, his monthly salary plus some subsidies was more than 9,000 yuan. Of course, this was the price after deducting five insurances and one fund, so it was actually more than 10,000 yuan.

This is already quite good for a driver. The reason why there are so many subsidies is because as a driver he needs to be on call at any time, which is a bit troublesome.

Of course, Lin Zhe never treats anyone unfairly, especially those around him.

Lin Zhe was very clear about this principle. In ancient times, there was a king who rewarded all his soldiers with meat before going to war, but his charioteer did not get any. The reason was that he believed that the charioteer did not need to fight and was not worthy of eating meat, and the meat was reserved for the soldiers.

But it was this piece of meat that sent him directly to his own grave.

The two armies were facing each other, and the battle had not yet begun, but the coachman drove the carriage at full throttle and rushed the king into the enemy camp opposite.

Now the king was handed over to his opponent before he was defeated. He lost everything because of a piece of meat.

Although the coachman's position is small, he is one of the king's close associates due to his job. Compared to a stab from the enemy or other people, a stab from someone close to the king is often more deadly.

Therefore, Lin Zhe would never do anything to mistreat his subordinates. He would not mistreat anyone, and he would give preferential treatment to the drivers, bodyguards, assistants, secretaries and others around him. Of course, this preferential treatment was not without limits, it depended on the person.

If the person is not good enough, and is easily ungrateful, Lin Zhe will not stay around at all.

After driving for three months, Lin Zhe raised Zhang Chen's salary to 15,000 yuan a month, and during the Chinese New Year he would even give them a large red envelope worth half a year's salary, such as 88,000 yuan.

By now, after several rounds of increases, Zhang Cheng's salary has reached the threshold of more than 30,000 yuan per month after tax. If you take into account the various six insurances and one fund paid by the company on his behalf, his monthly salary is more than 40,000 yuan.

In addition, this does not include the year-end bonus. Lin Zhe can give a year-end bonus of 10,000 yuan to all the cleaning ladies under the group. It is naturally impossible for him to be stingy when treating the staff around him like them.

Adding all these together, Zhang Chen's salary is definitely considered a high-income earner in China, whether in Binhai or first-tier cities like Beijing.

You know, Zhang Chen is just an ordinary student who graduated from a non-key undergraduate university. The only reason he can get to where he is today is that he was lucky enough and made the right choice at the right time.

If one were to take a different life path, there would be too many examples around Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen himself knows quite a few classmates around him. They all graduated from the same school, and their grades and so-called abilities are pretty much the same. In addition, their family conditions are also ordinary, and their families cannot pave the way for them or push them to a higher platform.

Nowadays, like father and like son, like son. No matter where the father works, the son will most likely work in the same unit after graduation, or at least in the same industry.

Of course, the father must at least be a manager.

Like Lao Lin, a clerk really couldn't handle Lin Zhe's work. After graduating from Binhai University of Technology, Lin Zhe had no choice but to stay in Binhai to work hard.

As for those who are capable at home, they will make arrangements early and go back home to start working.

The same is true for Zhang Chen's family. Like him, they are from an ordinary family with no connections or abilities, so they basically have to rely on themselves.

How many people can survive on their own? When the ancients drank water, they did not forget to put a solid rock on the wellhead and block the road.

As far as Zhang Chen knows, the one who has done the best on his own is himself because of luck. Among the remaining best classmates, one has entered the emerging high-tech industry and can basically earn a little over 20,000 yuan a month.

The rest have become one of the masses, earning a monthly salary ranging from a few thousand to several thousand, and living in different places.

Speaking of which, I am really lucky. After working for two years, when I go home for the New Year, I can drive the car I bought with full payment. It is a middle-class car worth more than 200,000 yuan. This is already several levels better than my peers with the same conditions.

Now Zhang Chen cherishes his current situation very much, because in addition to the high salary, he has also gained Lin Zhe's respect. In the process of getting along and working together, he can also feel that Lin Zhe not only regards him as a subordinate, but also as a friend.

But Zhang Chen knows himself well. He knows that the boss can treat him as a friend, but he must never treat the boss as a friend. The boss is like a father, and doing a good job is more important than anything else. Never overstep the line.

So Zhang Chen naturally works very hard and seriously, and arranges everything that needs to be done properly.

It was like he was responsible for driving Lin Zhe's car from Lincheng back to Binhai, because the trunk was filled with a lot of things that Lin Zhe brought back from home, including food bought locally in Lincheng.

These foods must be kept fresh. The drive took a little over four hours. Zhang Cheng got off the highway halfway through the journey and went to the nearest store to buy new ice packs for food preservation and replaced the ice packs.

Keep the temperature in the insulated box at all times to ensure that there will be no problems after the items are sent back.

So he had to take the next highway to get the job done and then return. Zhang Cheng had to drive dozens of kilometers more, but he had no complaints.

Moreover, he drove much faster on the way back. If Lin Zhe was in the car, he would definitely not drive too fast. Safety comes first.

……

Arriving at Binhai, Zhang Chen drove the car into the parking lot of Lin Zhe's community and took all the things to Lin Zhe's house twice. "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Zhang. Take a rest?"

In response to Lin Zhe's invitation, Zhang Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook his head. Then, he just took the bottle of ice water that Lin Zhe handed to him and left Lin Zhe's house.

Do what you should do well, and never do what you shouldn’t do. This is one of the main reasons why Zhang Chen can continue to be Lin Zhe’s driver.

Cleverness is only cleverness when it is used in the right place, but if it is used in the wrong place it is just being too clever.

……

After returning to Binhai, Lin Zhe and his wife immediately threw themselves into work. Yan Xi was "forced" to follow Lin Zhe and take a long vacation. Of course, the price was that a lot of work had to be accumulated.

These tasks need to be dealt with when I get back, and Lin Zhe's side is not much better.

Now that Zhetong has developed to this stage, various new projects are put into construction every day. Once the funds involved exceed a certain amount, they need to be reviewed by him in person. Naturally, no construction can start without his approval.

Sitting in the office today and looking at the thick stack of documents in front of him, Lin Zhe actually had some of the feelings he had when he was in elementary and junior high school, frantically catching up on homework before the end of the holidays and the start of school.

As for when he was in high school, he no longer had this feeling, because in high school, Lin Zhe had grown up and began to ignore what the teacher said and did not take the homework seriously...

"Ah~"

After sighing, Lin Zhe could only open one copy and check it. If there was no problem, he would sign it directly. If there was a problem, he would send it back to his subordinates to redo it, or ask Zhang Yuliang to contact the project leader to explain by phone.

……

This busy work lasted for several days. During these days, Lin Zhe rarely worked seriously. He would not leave the office until five in the afternoon, instead of sitting in the car to go home at three o'clock like before.

The same was true for Yan Xi on the other side, but compared to Lin Zhe's lazy personality, Yan Xi was still very focused and serious when working.

Lin Zhe couldn't do that. Every time a few tenths of the thick stack of documents was reduced, Lin Zhe would always smoke a cigarette, or open his phone to relax, or go to the garden on the rooftop to feed the fish in the company.

But Yan Xi was able to maintain an efficient and focused attitude and get everything done, so she had completed all the "homework" she owed long before Lin Zhe.

Then Yan Xi started asking questions for Lin Zhe again.

As a banker, she naturally has more connections than Lin Zhe. She also helped to arrange the private plane that Lin Zhe took to the United States.

After some contact, Yan Xi also helped Lin Zhe find a place.

……

"Binhai Wensi Higher Vocational and Technical College?"

"Yes, I have seen this school. It is a private college. Although it has not been established for a long time and has not many students, the school has enough places under its control. Moreover, the city where it is located is also a district under the sea, which is not particularly remote. If it is operated, it has a great chance to become the Zhetong Electric Power University you imagined."

Then Yan Xi introduced some other aspects. Lin Zhe was quite satisfied after seeing them. He had to say that he had found the right wife, who could provide him with great help in both life and work.

According to Yan Xi, she has already contacted Liu Qinglian, one of the honorary presidents of Binhai Wensi Vocational and Technical College and the chairman of Wensi Education Group.

As a private technical college, it is useless to find the principal. The actual owner of the school is the chairman of Vance Education Group.

So Yan Xi made an appointment to talk about this matter tomorrow.

"Great! If this is successful, Zhetong will have a stable source of high-quality grassroots technical talents. Let's go there tomorrow and talk about it together!"

……

The next day, at the agreed address, Lin Zhe met Liu Qinglian, the chairman of Vance Education Group.

She was wearing an elegant cheongsam and had a nice figure. She had long black hair and well-maintained skin. She didn't look like she was almost forty at all. She looked like a young person in her twenties. She was also very beautiful and charming. She looked much younger than Lin Zhe had imagined.

Lin Zhe understood the principle that knowing both yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. In a sense, doing business is not much different from fighting a war. Familiar with the Thirty-Six Stratagems can be of great use in daily life.

Before coming, Lin Zhe asked Zhang Yuliang to collect some information about Vance Education Group last night.

It has to be said that as an education group, Wensi Education Group is quite large, with a total of three technical colleges and two private third-tier colleges. Of course, there is no such thing as third-tier colleges now.

It is quite easy to make money from the tuition fees of these college students. In addition to private universities, they are also involved in offline and online education and training, cultural and sports products, etc.

The market value is more than 26 billion yuan, which is definitely in the first tier among education companies.

So before the meeting, Lin Zhe maintained the necessary respect.

In Liu Qinglian's eyes, she respects Lin Zhe even more, and the reason is very simple: strength and money.

The market value of my Wensi is more than 20 to 30 billion, but compared to Zhetong, it is not even enough for the estimated value of one of its factories. They are completely not on the same level.

It's not about raising the price. It's what Liu Qinglian really thinks from the bottom of her heart. She has no intention of selling the Binhai Wensi Vocational and Technical College under her control. If Yan Xi hadn't come to ask, she wouldn't have chosen to contact it.

Now that they met, Lin Zhe politely shook hands with her.

Yan Xi also greeted with a smile, and then introduced both parties.

"Boss Lin, I've heard of you for a long time, but it's rare to see you."

"Haha, Mr. Liu, you are too serious."
