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

Chapter 285 Chapter 284 The bank run begins! Xuehan Electric Power returns the money!
Boss Hu doesn't have any particular abilities, but fortunately he has good luck and a good family background, and people around him, like his uncle, are considered influential people in Jincheng.

When one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit, and this also brought good fortune to Boss Hu.

Only he could manage such a large commercial plaza, even though he did not manage it directly and he did not even have any shares.

But thanks to his various connections, he is still able to influence something, which is how he managed to secure this position and make a lot of money every year.

But in essence, Hu Wenlai is still a very mediocre person.

Maybe he knew this deep down in his heart, but he didn't want to admit it. That's human nature.

In this case, if you occasionally accomplish one or two big things in your daily life, it will become something for you to brag about.

Hu Wenlai is like this. While bragging about these things, he seems to be proving to others and himself that he is not one of the mediocre ones.

This time, we were able to deduct more than 700,000 yuan from Mao Xuehan, nicknamed the miser, and finally made him return the money. Wouldn't it be very impressive to tell others about this?

Especially after confirming that the company received 720,000 yuan from Hanxue Electric Power, Hu Wenlai was completely excited.

We were so excited that we organized a dinner party that night.

……

Unlike other people who like to make friends with the powerful and curry favor with the wealthy when they form a party, Hu Wenlai is very clear-headed in this regard.

It is not comfortable to sit at the same table with those big shots for dinner. You have to carefully guess their expressions and words, and you have to flatter them and fawn on them.

Even if someone tells an extremely awkward joke, you still have to laugh "from the heart".

This is very tiring, so Hu Wenlai chose "backward compatibility".

He likes to organize dinners with friends who have lower social status than him.

Since it’s a free meal and they don’t have to pay for it, they are naturally willing to come and participate.

Hu Wenlai only needed to provide hospitality, pay for the meal, and then have a good time talking at the table.

Others have to agree with me and flatter me, which feels good.

This is the case today. Whenever Hu Wenlai and his brother Hu Wenlai go out, others have to call them "Mr. Hu". He is in charge of a Feitian shopping mall.

There are so many things involved, including daily maintenance, the supply of some goods, the entry of merchants, shop locations, etc.

He can even have a say in the small vendors' mobile stalls in the open air square.

There was no guarantee that Hu Wen would come to ask for help someday, so these people gave him face, including all kinds of people, including grassroots clerks.

After three glasses of wine, the atmosphere became heated.

After a few good friends boasted to him, Hu Wenlai also became interested.

He picked up the wine glass, looked around with a little drunken eyes and spoke.

"Brothers, let me be honest, I have accomplished something big recently!"

Everyone was already giving him face, and after Hu Wenlai said this, everyone else also turned their attention.

"Brother Hu, don't keep us in suspense. Just tell us now. We are all listening."

"Mr. Hu, can you tell me what big thing you have accomplished?"

Hearing these words of cooperation, Hu Wenlai's mouth corners curled up and he continued to speak.

"Everyone knows Mao Xuehan, right? I'm sure everyone knows Han Xue Electric Power. Just today, that bastard Mao Xuehan finally refunded me a refund."

When Hu Wenlai said this, there was a hint of gnashing of teeth in his voice.

After all, I can still vividly remember how I went to Mao Xuehan’s office to ask for money two days ago. I did keep a low profile at that time.

But Mao Xuehan's expression of annoyance and as if he was dismissing a beggar was really disgusting.

Not to mention that a little earlier he had greeted me with a smile and pointed to the electricity bill I had prepaid.

Hu Wenlai felt uncomfortable when he thought of these things.

So when talking about this matter, it is inevitable to exaggerate it a bit, and exaggerating it a little also makes you look more powerful.

"Brothers, don't say I don't care about you. Xuehan Electric Power has finally been able to pay out money. Those of you who have electricity bills on deposit should return them quickly."

"That bastard Mao Xuehan will just walk away. Who can stand the frequent power outages? You won't even get your electricity bills."

After saying this, Hu Wenlai also recommended Zhetong Electric Power.

"Zhetong Electric is really easy to use. The staff came to my door in less than ten minutes after I called. The customer service line is always answered, and there is never a busy line."

"Look at Xuehan Electric Power? There was a power outage in our area and we couldn't even get through on the phone, let alone other services."

"Now, not only our Feitian Plaza area is using Zhetong electricity, but other places including my home are also using Zhetong electricity, which is very convenient."

……

After hearing what Hu Wenlai said, several people present became interested.

After all, although everyone has always been a user of Xuehan Electric Power, there is nothing they can do about it, as they are the only power plant in Jincheng.

But now it’s different. The arrival of Zhetong Electric Power means they have a choice.

This is a very important matter. Maybe they can give it a try. What if it is indeed much better than Xuehan Electric Power?
Under basic conditions, everyone will naturally choose a better one if they have a choice.

And today Hu Wenlai said that he went to Mao Xuehan to ask for a refund, but the electricity bill was not refunded and he had to go to the relevant department to get a refund.

What does this mean? It means that it is difficult for them to withdraw the electricity bills they have deposited in their accounts.

It was nothing in itself. After all, they deposited electricity bills into their accounts with the intention of using the money, not getting a refund.

But something is not right now. Rumors can spread in a terrible way. Perhaps the beginning of a disaster just started from a boring guess.

Since it is so difficult to withdraw the electricity bills that were originally deposited? Will there be any problems with Xuehan Electric Power in the future? By then, the electricity bills on their accounts will be gone before they have even used them.

Who can they turn to for justice? The company went bankrupt without a word and they deposited 1,800 yuan but there is no place to ask for it.

In addition, there is now the option of Zhetong Electric Power, which makes a difference.

We are all locals, and they all knew clearly when the Jincheng plant of Zhetong Electric Power was being built. Now such a large plant has been built step by step.

This is unlikely to go wrong, and it will operate steadily for a long time.

So the choice before us now is very clear, that is to find a way to refund the electricity bill previously deposited with Xuehan Electric Power as soon as possible, and then switch to Zhetong Electric Power for power supply.

Anyway, there is no difference between the two power supplies. Zhetong Electric Power's power supply service is even better.

It’s not certain about Xuehan Electric Power, but there may be potential risks. Wouldn’t it be better for everyone to save this little bit of electricity bill by avoiding risks?

Anyway, Zhetong Electric Power must be safe.

Except for Hu Wenlai, everyone here can be considered a small family, and they don't mind doing anything that can avoid risks and save money.

Among them is a restaurant owner who earns more than 100,000 yuan a year and has a turnover of one million.

There are also small bar owners and ordinary people.

All of these people participated in the prepaid electricity bill refund plan of Xuehan Electric Power. Basically, no matter how big or small the business is, they have prepaid 10,000 to 18,000 yuan. There are also ordinary families who have participated in the prepaid electricity bill activity of 1,000 yuan. The electricity bill of an ordinary family is only several dozen yuan a month, and there are still more than 800 yuan in the account.

If Xuehan Electric Power suddenly arrives, the eight hundred yuan will be lost in vain.

So when Hu Wenlai said this, the hearts of those present began to stir.

"Mr. Hu, isn't Mao Xuehan a miser? You had to use your connections to get the money back, and it was more than 700,000 yuan, so I returned it to you."

"We are a small family and business, and we are not afraid of you laughing at us. We only have 18,000 yuan and no connections. Can Mao Xuehan give us ordinary people a discount?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone else pricked up their ears, as they were all worried about this issue.

But when Hu Wenlai heard this, he just smiled and spoke.

Now everyone calls him Brother Hu or Mr. Hu, and he enjoys hearing that. Moreover, when the topic is about himself, he is also happy to give guidance to everyone.

This time he had figured it out clearly, having consulted everyone from lawyers to relevant departments, so he was very familiar with it.

"Don't be afraid. Just go to them with the rules that protect our consumers. If they don't refund, sue them. It's not difficult to sue. You can hire a lawyer for a few hundred dollars. The rest is to wait for Xuehan Electric to refund you."

After that, Hu Wenlai generously explained the process in detail.

……

The next morning, at Xuehan Electric Power Business Office in Anning District, Jincheng.

Several people who attended Hu Wenlai's dinner party last night walked in together and asked the staff at the business hall to refund the prepaid electricity bills.

Of course, they will also ask the business office to recover 20% of the electricity bill that was previously refunded.

Anyway, they don't want this discount anymore, but they require Xuehan Electricity to return the electricity bills that were prepaid in their accounts.

This request also confused the staff in the business hall, and they didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

After the report was submitted, the matter quickly reached the head of a vice president of Xuehan Electric Power.

For him, the group has now made a lot of money with the entry of Zhetong Electric Power, and a large amount of funds have all flowed into the capital flow of Xuehan Electric Power.

The group’s accounts have never been so rich before.

In addition, Mao Xuehan was a notoriously stingy person, so he didn't worry about it when he was managing the company.

But it’s different now. The group’s cash flow is terrifyingly large.

To use the words from the TV series, he had never fought such a prosperous battle in his entire life.

Now suddenly a news came from a business office that several customers wanted a refund, and they also said that they would sue if the money was not refunded.

This made him feel troubled. Although Xue Han also had its own legal department, being sued was always a bad thing and would affect the image of the group.

And when Mao Xuehan finds out, he might blame me.

And he just asked, and the total electricity bill for those people was only a little over 10,000 yuan, so it would be refunded, and it wouldn't affect anything.

So he just waved his hand and gave the order, and just refunded the money to those troublemakers who wanted to sue.

……

The business hall here was also happy because after all, it was not their own money.

Anyway, the higher-ups have given the green light to just return the money and get rid of these troublemakers, so they don't have to worry about the rest.

"Okay, it's done. The refund will be in your account soon."

After receiving this reply, the few people who attended Hu Wenlai's dinner party last night left the business hall satisfied.

Not long after they left, they all received their own refunds.

Then they immediately contacted Zhetong Electric Power and asked the people from Zhetong to come over and quickly use the new power supply.

……

Three people make a tiger. This saying describes the terribleness of rumors.

Like Hu Wenlai, these people also have their own circles, including colleagues, classmates, relatives, friends, etc.

After they had settled the matter and made sure they got the money, they naturally did not forget to help their friends.

After all, for this kind of thing, they just need to inform them and they don't have to pay anything. On the contrary, if they are right in the end, they will earn a favor.

So they were all happy to tell this story.

One pass to ten and one hundred to pass.

In short, a piece of news slowly brewed and spread among various small circles in Jincheng.

Everything was fine at first, and it was relatively normal. It meant that there might be something wrong with Xuehan Electric Power, so it would be better to withdraw the pre-paid electricity bill.

This step was nothing special, but things immediately became outrageous.

Some people said that something big had happened to Xuehan Electric Power, and the reason why they were doing the activity of prepaying electricity bills and refunding them was just to make a quick buck and run away.

It didn't take long for him to run away, and no one knows where Mao Xuehan is now.

If the company goes bankrupt by then, all their electricity bills will be wasted.

Then, old men and women on the streets were talking about this matter, saying that Xuehan Electric Power was about to go bankrupt and that Mao Xuehan had fled abroad.

The electricity bill that is still in the account will not be usable if Xuehan Power stops operating in the near future.

Rumors are like that, they become more and more outrageous as they spread.

Now a large number of Jincheng residents, especially businessmen who have deposited a large sum of money for electricity, are rushing to the Xuehan business hall like crazy.

Anyway, they don't care about anything else but to return the money.

Why can't I refund my money if some people have refunded it? If they don't refund it, I will sue them! In short, they just want money and don't want any discounts.

No matter how the staff at the business hall explained, I just didn't believe it.

At this point, it doesn’t matter whether it’s true or not. Xuehan Electric Power is facing a run on its bank due to a crisis of trust.

……

In Mao Xuehan's office, he was very angry after seeing the news.

In addition to some people saying that he fled abroad, there are even rumors that he is dead and now his family is in charge of making the last money.

"Damn it, what an outrageous rumor!"

Just as I finished complaining, the office door was pushed open.

Normally, people would knock on the door before they came in, but now they didn't even knock, which showed that there was something urgent. Before Mao Xuehan could react, the person who rushed in had already started talking.

"Boss, something terrible has happened!"
