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

Chapter 281 280 This is the effect we want!
To be honest, Mao Xuehan lived a comfortable life before Zhetong Electric Power came. After all, it is easy for anyone to run a monopoly business.

But they no longer have the initial enthusiasm for Hanxue Electric Power, and it has remained like this ever since.

The arrival of Zhetong Power is not necessarily a bad thing. At least Xuehan Power has never been so rich on paper. All of it is from the prepayment of electricity bills by major industrial users.

Mao Xuehan was very proud when looking at the electricity bill list.

How could Lin Zhe alone break up the business he had done in Jincheng over the years? Even though Zhetong Electric Power was so powerful in other places, it would still suffer losses when it came to Jincheng.

Unconsciously, Mao Xuehan also became more and more arrogant.

After all, the facts are there. When Zhetong Electric Power went to other places, such as Shancheng, Suwu, etc., it could be said that it was unstoppable and swept through like a horse.

But in Jincheng, the situation was held at a stalemate, and the four big words "Xuehan Electric Power" were still displayed in most areas of Jincheng, which proved that he was indeed capable.

It was just because of luck that I was in Jincheng, a not-so-big city.

If the other way around, if I could gain a foothold in a mountain city or a big city like Suzhou or Wushu, it would probably not be that easy for Zhetong Electric Power.

Mao Xuehan felt very proud when he thought of this.

……

Xuehan Electric Power has stabilized the electricity consumption in the industrial market, and these bosses have used their own benefits to deposit the electricity bills in advance.

There are expenses on the books for at least half a year, which means Xuehan Electric Power does not have to worry about these bosses running away.

After all, even if it is transferred to Zhetong Electric Power, the prepaid electricity fee must be paid off, which is the normal situation.

It is impossible for these people to run away now, but Mao Xuehan does not have to worry at all. He just needs to focus his energy and collective work on the civil electricity market.

……

On the other side, Lin Zhe still maintained his leisurely attitude and continued to direct Zhetong Power to improve the basic power construction and corporate structure construction in Jincheng area.

Although the growth rate of new users of Zhetong Electric Power has slowed down due to the follow-up of Xuehan Electric Power during this period, fortunately, there are "hardcore loyal" customers like Shi Wenbin, so at least the group can continue to maintain growth.

The only difference is that the growth rate is a bit slower, which is actually a good thing in Lin Zhe's opinion.

After all, the Jincheng plant of Zhetong Electric Power Group had just been put into operation not long ago, and even though a lot of personnel had been transferred in from other places, it was still not enough, and these transferred personnel would definitely have to return to their respective plants in the end.

For example, the staff of the Shouli factory will return to Shouli City.

The people from Factory 2 naturally returned to Factory 2 as well.

Therefore, local recruitment is also progressing at full speed, and at least this system must be established.

Moreover, Lin Zhe built this power supply system according to the power supply for the entire city of Jincheng, which means that Lin Zhe has always wanted to take over the entire Jincheng market directly.

Not one third or one half.

These days, front-line power workers have gradually built the entire power supply network from the west to the east of the city, which is not easy.

After all, Jincheng’s current power supply network belongs to Jincheng’s Xuehan Electric Power. In this case, either Xuehan Electric Power agrees to Zhetong Electric Power’s request to merge, but this is obviously impossible now.

Therefore, Zhetong Power had to do everything by itself, including building a high-voltage power supply network, building large electric towers, etc., as well as the main lines to each community.

These all require a large number of staff to coordinate and set up quickly.

After all, the construction of this kind of power supply network often involves local transportation and the like, causing some inconvenience, so most of the time it is carried out at night.

At this time, the power workers at the Jincheng plant of Zhetong Electric Power were also working overtime.

……

Just today, the power supply network was completed, and the next step is for the various staff members to work on it.

The staff of each department have also returned to a normal work rhythm. For example, the security department, which previously did not have a complete staff, has now been fully staffed.

In addition, a lot of staff from the front-line power operation departments were also added.

Lin Zhe also thought about this very clearly. Jincheng only accounts for one-tenth of Gansu Province's population of more than 20 million. The rest of the population is in other cities besides the vast rural areas.

Various prefecture-level cities or small counties are the targets of Zhetong Electric Power.

Therefore, we will definitely need a lot of manpower by then, and we won't stop at Jincheng. It's better to complete the recruitment in advance and have more manpower now.

Therefore, under this strategy, the collective Jincheng factory area quickly exceeded 3,000 people, which was not a small number for Jincheng, which had a population of only more than 2 million.

In addition, since the customer service center is in Quanhe City, it is not included in the local calculation.

So the number is quite considerable. At least in Jincheng, a small area of ​​​​Acre, users of Zhetong Power can make a phone call when there is a problem and they will definitely see the power supply vehicle of Zhetong Power appear within ten minutes.

Xuehan Electric Power can never achieve this unless they can quickly establish an effective and rapid customer service feedback and dispatch mechanism, which is obviously impossible.

After all, Lin Zhe put a lot of effort into setting up the customer service center and the dispatch center.

This requires not only money, but also mature management and time, which is obviously something that Xuehan Electric Power cannot do.

In addition to this, the number of staff is also essential. In addition to an efficient customer service center and dispatch center, the number of front-line power workers is also essential.

After all, only when the number increases can we ensure that there are staff members to respond at all times and to go to the customer's door to solve the problem as soon as possible.

Zhetong Electric Power can appear anywhere in Jincheng city within ten minutes, and these points are indispensable.

It is impossible for Xuehan Electric Power to achieve what it wants. After the above-mentioned customer service center and dispatch center are established, the number of front-line power workers will have to be increased several times.

Of course, this also means that personnel costs will increase several times. He used to pay out two million in wages a month, but now he is asked to pay out six million in wages all at once. How could Mao Xuehan bear that?

Moreover, the surge in personnel costs not only brings about an increase in salary expenditures, but also in other aspects. For example, front-line power workers must be equipped with cars, right?
These people form an electric team, so they need to be equipped with a car, which is a huge expense. Even if the car is the cheapest, they can directly contact second-hand car dealers, purchase a large number of second-hand pickup trucks from all over the country, and then uniformly paint them with the color and logo of Xuehan Electric Power.

But this is not cheap either. A car costs at least 50,000 yuan.

And now that Zhetong Electric Power has come, they are afraid of competition. In the past, when they were the only dominant player, it didn’t matter at all. Employees would definitely have no objection to being provided with cars, as long as they could drive them.

It didn't matter to the customers, since they were the only power plant and there was no competition.

But Mao Xuehan had seen the cars of Zhetong Electric Power before. They were on the road in Jincheng. The Buick Falcon of Zhetong Electric Power looked much more domineering indeed. When parked next to the power supply truck of Xuehan Electric Power, they were just like a son and a father.

This is really embarrassing. Not to mention that it has the same configuration as Zhetong Electric, I definitely can't bear to part with the Buick Falcon which costs more than 200,000 yuan.

Moreover, Buick and Zhetong Electric Power are strategic partners, so they will definitely not sell it to themselves at the same price.

But if you want to keep up the face, you have to do something else. At the very least, you have to have a unified brand. You can't go to a used car dealer and buy a bunch of miscellaneous cars.

So this is also a huge expense. If we add another thousand front-line power workers, we can't offer them such high salaries. But if we calculate it as 4,000 yuan per person, it would be a monthly expense of 4 million, which is painful enough.

Another thousand people mean 250 power supply vehicles. If one vehicle costs 100,000 yuan including the fuel cost, that's more than 25 million yuan.

Then there are these people’s uniforms, tools, etc. Just thinking about it is enough to give Mao Xuehan a headache.

What's more, even if Mao Xuehan wanted to come up with the money, it would be difficult to find so many people at this time. After all, the relevant industry talents had basically been recruited as soon as Zhetong Electric Power arrived.

I really can't find it in Jincheng area, so it is impossible to improve the service quality and make it the same as Zhetong Electric Power.

……

Time passed little by little, and Lin Zhe even went back to Binhai halfway through. Everything was normal there.

Although there has been little progress in the industrial electricity market, Zhetong Electric Power is making steady progress in the civilian market. It has currently captured about 30% of the market in Jincheng, which is quite good.

But now Lin Zhe is not in a hurry at all, he just needs to wait slowly.

Just like when he was in Lin Cheng, Lin Zhe was just patiently waiting for an opportunity. Now that everything that needed to be prepared was ready, he just had to wait.

……

A week later, in Xueyuan Community.

Shi Wenbin returned home after get off work. When Zhetong Electric Power came to Jincheng some time ago, he went to the business hall and then handled the household registration. He also became one of the first people in Xueyuan Community to use Zhetong Electric Power.

Under his persuasion and recommendation, nearly half of the teachers and their families in Xueyuan Community now use Zhetong Power Supply, while the rest are still using Xuehan Power Supply.

And tonight, the residents of this area encountered an annoying thing.

The residential electricity network in this area was built many years ago, and Xuehan Electric Power has never maintained it carefully. Today, a power failure occurred, followed by an increase in voltage, causing a power outage in the surrounding residential and commercial areas.

As soon as Shi Wenbin walked in and sat down, he saw that the houses outside the window, which were originally brightly lit, suddenly became dark.

Then there were all kinds of complaints. I opened the group chat on my phone and saw that everyone was saying there was a power outage or something like that.

However, after seeing this scene, Shi Wenbin smiled. He didn't need to worry, because his home was now powered by Zhetong Electric Power, which was stable.

In addition, when I opened the window and looked out, I saw that most of the lights on around me were from Zhetong Electricity users like me.

This scene was also seen by other people in the surrounding communities. In the past, when power outages occurred, everyone would naturally curse and complain, but they could do nothing.

But it is different now. They have a power outage, but the users of Zhetong Power in the same community are still using convenient electricity. This comparison makes them feel very uncomfortable.

After all, in these days' city life, no one can live without electricity.

Besides, their community is okay, after all, it’s just that life is inconvenient, but the surrounding commercial areas and the street shops on the ground floor are terrible. After all, they open their doors to do business, and now there is no electricity and they can’t even see. How can they do business?
During this time, everyone took out their phones and called Xuehan Electric Power's customer service number.

Xuehan Electric Power usually has few customer service staff. After all, in Mao Xuehan's opinion, this thing doesn't play any real role. Anyway, the less the better, the better to save some expenses.

During normal working hours during the day, there are only three customer service staff in Xuehan Electric Power Group, but there are only two customer service staff on duty at night.

The phone kept ringing and I couldn't answer it.

But how would users know this? When they find a problem and call, not only is the problem solved, but even the customer service phone number isn’t accessible. How can users not feel angry?

"Fuck, the electricity bills for Xuehan Electric Power are all paid by dogs every month. When something happens, the phone can't be reached!"

"Who said it wasn't true? Look, our area has been shut down, but the users of Zhetong Electric Power are still fine."

Under the lights, the shop and restaurant owners who used Zhetong Electricity and did not suffer a power outage were smiling happily. After all, there was a power outage nearby, so customers would naturally go to where they had power.

As a result, business was booming.

This comparison made the shop owners even more angry. They were all thinking in their minds whether they should go to the Zhetong Electric Power Business Hall to open an account tomorrow.

Just then, a yellow flashing light came on under the street lamp, and the power supply vehicle of Zhetong Electric Power drove over, followed by one mobile power supply vehicle after another.

In recent times, the mobile power supply vehicles of the Zhetong Electric Power Emergency Power Supply Department have been waiting in various areas of Jincheng City, just waiting for this opportunity.

And it's not just the vehicles and staff from the emergency power supply department, but also the power supply vehicles and the business hall clerks on the vehicles.

After receiving the news, they all rushed out urgently. As soon as the car arrived, they turned on the lights and started to publicize with loud speakers.

"Zhetong Power urgently opens an account! We will provide you with free power until the circuit is connected at the account opening site!"

These are not just a few cars. As long as there is a power outage in Jincheng, people from Zhetong Electric Power will rush over to provide temporary power supply.

For these bosses, stopping business for one night would mean huge losses, so when they saw the free temporary power supply, they didn't even care about the remaining electricity bills in Xuehan's electricity account and rushed to the car one after another.
