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

Chapter 37 037 Reaching an Agreement
New energy vehicles and charging configurations complement each other.

As the number of users who purchase new energy vehicles increases, more charging piles will be needed.

On the other hand, if charging stations are everywhere, or charging is made convenient, users' willingness to buy new energy vehicles will be increased.

So after hearing the news, these dealers were very happy to cooperate.

They had thought about building a charging station in Lincheng before, which would at least allow online ride-hailing vehicles and taxis to gradually complete their upgrades and achieve market dominance.

But the power plant in Lincheng is really not up to par. In their opinion, although charging stations do not require huge investments, they are troublesome to handle and maintain later.

In their opinion, they can fully satisfy the current situation by guarding the market of Lincheng, a county town. They have tried to break out of Lincheng before, but failed.

So now they have no interest in expanding the market.

Later, the matter was dropped. Several dealers had no choice but to consider opening their own charging station.

However, the subsequent charging stations must be connected to power plants for stable and efficient high-voltage electricity transmission, allowing them to build a separate line.

But even so, the power plant in Lincheng is too lazy to come forward, so Lincheng still does not have a large charging station.

There are only a few ordinary charging locations that can accommodate a few cars at a time. The most important thing is that those charging piles are all ordinary household electricity and cannot achieve fast charging at all.

Now Lin Zhe's arrival also gave them a glimmer of hope.

If this can really be accomplished, they are confident that they can sell at least a few hundred cars, which is a huge achievement, and the year-end KPI can also be declared completed ahead of schedule.

Moreover, even if the market for new energy is opened up in Lincheng in the future, as a county town, it can still contribute a lot of stable performance every year.

……

After some business greetings, everyone sat down and talked about business.

Zhetong Electric Power plans to build three charging stations in the county, the largest of which will have no less than 50 charging piles, and the remaining two will have 20 to 30 charging piles depending on actual conditions.

These charging stations will be set up in the east, west and center of the city.

After completion, it will greatly facilitate the daily charging needs of local new energy vehicles, and dedicated lines will be built to provide high-performance fast charging.

In short, the idea proposed by Lin Zhe is that either don’t do it, or do it in one go.

At least for now, the three charging stations have a total of about 100 charging piles, which is enough for Lincheng.

After hearing what Lin Zhe said, the bosses of these dealers naturally nodded in support of this decision.

"Boss Lin, you are farsighted."

"Yes, we absolutely support it. Mr. Lin has said so, and I will give you a definite answer. You can leave the approval process to us."

These procedures had previously been jointly discussed by several of them and they had found someone responsible for this matter, and the deal had basically been reached.

But later on, as Lincheng Power was unwilling to join, the matter had to be shelved. Now if Zhetong Power is willing to do it, there will naturally be no problem.

After hearing what they said, Lin Zhe smiled and nodded.

However, if it was simply for the approval procedures or networking matters, I would not have made a special trip here.

In addition to building connections, I also want to get some tangible benefits from these dealers.

After all, in addition to local new energy vehicle users, the beneficiaries of the charging stations are also new energy vehicle dealers like them. We can't just let them get a free deal, right?

So the conversation lasted from noon to afternoon.

Finally, several companies also agreed to the conditions proposed by Lin Zhe, that is, they would pay money to subsidize users within one year after the charging station was built. If users of new energy vehicles open the power supply of Zhetong Electric Power and use Zhetong Electric Power at home.

Then the charging cost per kilowatt-hour will be 1.3 cents cheaper, and this subsidy is provided by the dealer.

This means that they are paying to subsidize users to promote Zhetong Electric Power. Although it sounds a bit of a loss, they can actually accept this subsidy amount.

"The bosses have already laid out their plans. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation. I will confirm the location and contact you to sign a written contract. After the construction is completed, I hope you will attend the opening ceremony together."

After hearing what Lin Zhe said, several people smiled bitterly and nodded.

I originally thought that I would just have to contribute to my network, but I didn't expect that I would still have to give away some "meat".

These people are all middle-aged people. They didn’t expect that a young man like Lin Zhe could be so “perseverant” and he must have put in a lot of effort before coming.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to have such a clear understanding of their profit range, and finally proposed a subsidy amount that they neither agreed nor refused.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, we will definitely be there when the time comes."

By opening up the Lincheng market and showing up at the charging station inauguration ceremony, their provincial dealers will also be impressed by the company, so they will naturally be happy.

……

When I came out of the auto city again, several dealer bosses also saw me off.

When they walked outside the Great Wall store, someone came out jogging and handed Zhang Yuliang a box of tea.

"Boss Lin, this is what our manager Sun told you to do. He has something else to do so he won't come in person."

After hearing this, Lin Zhe raised his eyebrows. This Manager Sun is indeed a man who knows the ways of the world.

If he came to deliver it in person, I might not accept it, and even if I did, I would have refused.

He chose to let a subordinate deliver it, so there was naturally no need for him to refuse. From this incident, we can see that this person is not a bad person.

Although it's all for profit in the end, it's his ability that he treats himself as a boss when he spends his own money, which is at least useful.

"Thank Manager Sun for me."

After smiling and nodding, Zhang Yuliang put the tea away.

After walking out of the door, several new energy vehicle owners wanted to send Lin Zhe to their car, but Lin Zhe declined.

"The bosses can just drop us off here. It won't be a hassle for us to go to the parking lot ourselves."

Since Lin Zhe said so, the bosses no longer insisted. After saying a few polite words, they turned around and went back.

Watching these people turn around and leave, Lin Zhe looked embarrassed again.

I insisted on not letting them send it because Lao Lin’s old Volkswagen was really not good enough.

It's not that I'm so vain, but if they saw this, they would probably have some doubts about my ability against Zhetong Electric Power, so I want to avoid possible trouble for both parties.

It’s not that they are snobbish, but people in the business world do judge a person’s true strength from various details.

It is indeed inappropriate for a boss who earns several million a month to drive an old Volkswagen every day.

It seems that I have to go to the provincial capital someday and bring back a whole car for show.
