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

Chapter 67 067 Zhetong Electric Power's Profits Are Not Calculated That Way
The roads in the developed coastal areas are naturally smooth.

More than two hours later, Lin Zhe and his team walked out of Binhai and arrived in Mingpu County.

Although this place is not as prosperous as Binhai, Lin Zhe can still tell from the details that this place is indeed much more developed than Lincheng.

Municipal greening, etc., these are external manifestations.

But Lin Zhe drove through the car window towards the city and saw that there were many factories and large logistics centers outside the county.

Sure enough, the saying "live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the sea, eat by the sea" is not without truth.

The development speed of small county towns near ports has far surpassed those of inland small towns.

In addition, as Lin Zhe and his friends checked into the hotel, it can be seen that there are real star-rated hotels in a place like Mingpu County.

However, there are none of these well-known star-rated hotels in Lincheng.

Zhang Yuliang and Zhang Chen are the subordinates who have spent the longest time with him in the company, so Lin Zhe is willing to be nice to these "confidants".

Originally, Zhang Yuliang booked another ordinary hotel for her and Zhang Chen, and booked an executive room in this hotel for Lin Zhe alone.

But Lin Zhe still asked her to cancel the other room and booked an ordinary room in the hotel for the two of them.

After finishing this, the three of them took a short rest in the hotel, and then came to the office building of Mingpu County Haili Power Plant in the afternoon.

……

The building is more than six stories high. Although it doesn’t look very tall from the outside, it is very imposing, and there is a guard standing guard at the door.

Zhang Yuliang was also responsible for the communication work. After some communication there, she contacted the owner of Haili Power Plant, and then the group walked in.

When they arrived at the office of the boss of Haili Power Plant, Lin Zhe was very polite and asked Zhang Yuliang to knock on the door.

Then they walked in after hearing someone speak inside.

Zhang Haili, a native of Mingpu County, is 53 years old this year.

Ever since he released the news that he was planning to sell the market, various "gods" have been coming to him one after another.

He had originally planned to leave work early today, but when he heard from his subordinates that the boss of an electric power group was coming, he stayed a little longer.

After all, we are in the same industry, so the chances of meeting his requirements are higher.

However, he was surprised by Lin Zhe's appearance after meeting him, and subconsciously thought that Lin Zhe was some rich second-generation.

After all, it is generally unlikely to own an electric power company at such a young age. It is most likely arranged by the family.

……

After greeting each other, Zhang Haili arranged for his secretary to pour tea for Lin Zhe and the other three, and then they started chatting together.

Lin Zhe was also quite curious as to why Zhang Haili would give up such a good thing, but Zhang Haili just smiled bitterly.

He said that his children had all settled abroad and his parents in China had passed away, so he planned to live abroad with his children and cash in on the local business.

Lin Zhe didn't care about this reason. After all, if the other party was willing to sell, any reason would be fine as long as there was no problem with the item.

Then during the negotiation process, Zhang Haili first put forward a request.

That is, if someone takes over the local electricity market, he will keep all the original lines and all the users.

This means that the party taking over can invest resources to generate electricity and make money.

But the price of electricity to the local area must not be changed, because he is a local and does not want to leave a bad reputation. Zhang Haili knows this very well, that is, most of the takeover parties will definitely choose to raise the price openly or secretly.

This is the only way to quickly recover the investment cost. After all, the transfer fee he asked for is not low.

Therefore, this threshold has also blocked many companies.

But Lin Zhe nodded and agreed to this request without hesitation.

After all, Zhetong Electric Power Group does not intend to do business in just one place, but wants to "light up every corner", so reputation is naturally very important.

If he took over and used the advantage of "near monopoly" to raise prices, he would definitely be criticized, and Lin Zhe would not do such a thing.

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, we can put this into the contract. We will definitely not raise the price."

Seeing Lin Zhe say this, Zhang Haili nodded with satisfaction and handed Lin Zhe a cigarette.

"Boss Lin is also straightforward. Then I will state my second request. That is, all employees of Haili Power Plant, big and small, must be protected. They cannot be laid off innocently or "replaced", and their salaries cannot be reduced."

In response to this, Lin Zhe frowned slightly, exhaled a puff of smoke, and gave his answer.

Anyway, Zhetong Electric Power Group will have to recruit staff after taking over, so keeping the old employees is the best solution.

But Zhetong will definitely conduct screening to eliminate those whose character and work ability do not meet the standards. Otherwise, all those who can stay will be retained.

Even Lin Zhe gave his own estimate that at least 70 percent of the employees would be retained.

As for a pay cut? Lin Zhe felt that as long as their current salary was not ridiculously high, he would even get a pay raise, so there was no need to worry.

This answer also made Zhang Haili nod in satisfaction.

Among those who have found themselves in the past two days, very few can meet these two requirements.

After all, no one dares to gamble on recovering costs slowly over the long term. Everyone wants to take over and recover costs quickly, and then slowly make profits over the remaining time.

They all want to raise prices either covertly or indirectly, or cut employee expenses to increase profits.

As a result, the young man in front of him agreed to both points. Zhang Haili had nothing more to say and started talking about money.

"Our Mingpu County's annual electricity revenue is about 500 million, with a fluctuation of no more than 20 million."

"You are also the boss of the power plant. We are in the same business. I believe you can estimate the profit, so I won't hide it."

"After deducting the personnel costs, daily maintenance costs, taxes and the power generation costs which account for the majority of the 500 million, the profit is about 30 million."

"Thirty million a year is not a small amount. In ten years, we can get back two or three hundred million. So my psychological estimate is 1.5 million! In addition, you have to pay me 1.5 million for the circuit cost of Quan Mingpu, a total of three hundred million!"

Lin Zhe's expression did not change after hearing this number.

Three hundred million is about the same as what I guessed.

After all, the real way to make money in ordinary industries by "transferring a popular shop" is to use several years' profits as transfer fees.

However, the electricity industry is very stable, and Mingpu County has no other competitors other than Haili Electric Power that have a monopoly nature.

Therefore, it is reasonable for him to ask for five or six years' profits as the transfer fee. In addition, the circuit cost of 1.5 million is also appropriate. If he takes over the laying of the circuit himself, it will cost several hundred million.

Zhang Haili didn't know, but he knew it very well that the profits of Zhetong Electric Power were not calculated in that way.
