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

Lin Zhe left Gucheng and went to a nearby city with an airport that same evening.

Then the private plane took off and headed to the next city.

For Lin Zhe, this period of time was spent rushing to go here and there.

During this time, Yan Xi also called Lin Zhe.

Both husband and wife are quite busy right now, and Yanxi's family bank has also reached a critical moment.

In recent years, with the vigorous development of Zhetong Power, it has become deeply integrated with Fuqiao Bank.

Whether it's employees of Zhetong Power in various locations or the use of various payments, all transactions are settled using accounts at Fuqiao Bank.

For convenience, downstream enterprises related to Zhetong Power have been using it or have gradually developed the habit of using it.

They were all using Fookbridge Bank, and they got their business partners and friends around them to start using it too.

The growth momentum of this Fauci Bridge Bank is also very strong.

Recently, the number of branch outlets nationwide exceeded one thousand.

This is considered the largest private bank in terms of scale.

Now, this is a crucial juncture for Yanxi and her team to continue their advance.

Lin Zhe naturally provides his wife with all the support she needs.

Yan Xi felt sorry for Lin Zhe, who was working non-stop like this.

But things weren't much better on her end either, as she was negotiating with officials in various places.

Next, there's the matter of going global. Zhetong Power has now established a foothold in overseas markets.

Then Fookbridge Bank naturally followed suit.

After all, if you really want to calculate it, then Fuqiao Bank also belongs to Lin Zhe.

This is our own stuff, so we definitely won't let it go to outsiders.

Therefore, FAW Bank has been busy recently with banking licenses in various overseas regions, such as the United States and Europe.

Once the license is issued, Zhetong will definitely transfer all its overseas financial operations there.

……

With a private jet, Lin Zhe could not only make phone calls, but also play games on a computer if he wanted.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhe lay down and closed his eyes to rest.

When business gets big and you get busy, you really only have this little bit of rest time.

No wonder wealthy people always choose first class when they travel; firstly, they are indeed rich.

Secondly, it's a rare opportunity to rest, so it has to be made comfortable; you can't really stretch out in economy class.

Of course, private jets are a different story.

If Lin Zhe wanted, he could even put a bed on it, and in fact, he did.

But Lin Zhe preferred to lie on this sofa, as it was more comfortable.

……

Over the next two weeks, Lin Zhe continued to travel around the country, and more than a dozen factories across the country began to operate.

At the current rate, Zhetong's employee count is estimated to exceed several hundred thousand by the end of the year.

This is also the group's policy.

If we followed the practices of some other companies, even large ones.

Then we can just outsource all the work.

Not occupying a position within the group means saving a significant amount of social security expenditure, as well as high salaries.

That's certainly cunning, but in Lin Zhe's view, it lacks any sense of vision or corporate responsibility.

If it is indeed profitable, then share a portion of the profits with most of the employees; that way, everyone will benefit.

Of course, it's also possible that they're just talking without understanding the situation.

After all, when it comes to profits alone, no one can beat Zhetong Power.

……

Next month arrived in the blink of an eye, and Lin Zhe attended the domestic New Energy Vehicle Forum. The attendees were all industry leaders, including Lei Jun, CEO of Xiaomi, a company that recently entered the electric vehicle market.

These new energy vehicles all use electricity. As a leading domestic power company, Zhetong Power naturally has to deal with them.

Several new energy vehicle manufacturers approached us a long time ago, wanting to offer some ideas for cooperation.

Lin Zhe had made some plans beforehand.

Such as the various new energy vehicle charging stations under the group.

The group's research center is also racing ahead with research and development in fast charging and batteries.

Lin Zhe invests billions of yuan in this area every year without batting an eye.

They saw the potential in this area.

Elsewhere, in places like the United States where most people live in suburban houses similar to villas, and where farm owners live.

They use cars quite frequently.

Therefore, gasoline cars are a better choice, while electric cars are not as popular in China.

In China, however, the commute to and from work is usually only about an hour, which is considered quite long.

In addition, with high oil prices, electric cars are indeed more cost-effective for ordinary consumers.

The little bit of money left over from gas each month is enough to do a lot of things.

Therefore, Lin Zhe has always been optimistic about the domestic new energy vehicle market, and his investment in related research and development has been steadily increasing.

But there are reasons why we haven't entered yet.

First, automobile research and development is a process of creating something from scratch, which lacks a lot of accumulation.

These accumulated resources cannot be made up for simply by throwing money at them.

Those established car companies are extremely secretive when it comes to core technologies.

Lin Zhe didn't want to follow Ju Hua's example and just find a car factory to use fake license plates to make money.

The cars that were sold belong to our company.

If something goes wrong, it's the car manufacturer's fault, not our brand's.

Lin Zhe couldn't bring himself to do something so despicable.

So I haven't been in a hurry to enter the market.

But those new energy vehicle brands are very envious of Lin Zhe.

After all, car manufacturing is a money-intensive business, and Zhetong Electric is one of the few "cash cows" in China right now.

If we can make good connections with them, all the problems, like getting funding, will be solved.

Even if they're not interested, it would be great to be able to collaborate.

After all, electric vehicles are inseparable from electricity, and Zhetong Power has the capability to provide basic power infrastructure and construction.

Besides, if they really started swinging...

Lin Zhe really is the "benefactor" of these new energy vehicle manufacturers.

After all, it would be impossible without Zhetong Power's investment in basic electricity infrastructure across the country, including in rural areas.

Their sales figures and financial statements wouldn't look as good now.

Zhetong Power's large-scale power infrastructure construction has brought electricity to thousands of households, which naturally promotes the entry of electric vehicles into these markets.

This is good news for people working in all industries.

So no matter how you look at it, whenever Lin Zhe appears in such a setting, these bosses have to greet him with a smile.

……

From the moment he appeared, all the reporters and media cameras were focused on Lin Zhe.

Everyone was eagerly asking all sorts of questions.

My main question is whether Lin Zhe's presence at this forum signals that Zhetong Power will also enter the new energy market.

This is something they are all quite concerned about.

Lin Zhe also gave his own answer to this.

When answering this question, there were thousands of people sitting in the audience, and the bosses of various manufacturers on the stage.

Those on stage were more focused on Lin Zhe's answer than those in the audience. (End of Chapter)
