Under this configuration, the recruitment of Zhetong Cable Factory was naturally quite smooth, and the interview work went very smoothly. In just a few days, thousands of applicants were interviewed and the final one thousand new employees were selected.

Most of them are operators on the production lines in the workshops, and the others are some security personnel, canteen staff, and so on.

On the other hand, Buick once again received a large order from Zhetong Electric Power. Compared with the previous ones, this time the order was the largest, which was a complete surprise for Buick.

Because Lin Zhe placed an order for a total of 5,000 power supply vehicles, with a total value of more than 700 million yuan.

Buick's factories in China and overseas have started production at full capacity and will produce and deliver all 5,000 power supply vehicles as soon as possible.

Five thousand vehicles, with a standard five-person crew on each power supply vehicle, means twenty-five thousand employees, which seems like a lot.

But Lin Zhe thinks this is not enough. Zhetong is entering a period of rapid development. In the future, Lin Zhe plans to have the number of employees at Zhetong Electric reach at least 500,000, or even more.

Currently, factories in the two major cities of Guangdong and Hong Kong are under construction. The scale is even larger than that of the coastal factories, and they are all built according to very large specifications.

In the future, Zhetong will be responsible for the factories in these two major areas, and they will have a large number of employees.

Moreover, these two construction sites are just the beginning. Lin Zhe has already made arrangements and contacts after the construction begins, and the construction of the new factory will be started quickly afterwards.

Lin Zhe thought of several places, and construction sites in at least ten cities would start.

However, these ten cities are not as big as those in Hong Kong Island and Guangdong City. After all, the scale of their cities is not comparable to these two places, including the economic level and the size of the electricity market.

Basically, they are some second- and third-tier cities with a population of several million.

Taking all this into account, Zhetong’s next plan will be to provide power supply to more than a dozen cities.

……

That evening, Lin Zhe and Yan Xi also talked about this matter, including asking Yan Xi and her bank to start opening branches in the provinces and regions where the Zhetong factory will be built in advance.

Because although the Zhetong Electric Power plant is still under construction, once it arrives there, the local people will definitely have a lot of economic transactions.

Zhetong can designate banks for all the transactions generated by these transactions. As it is his own business, Lin Zhe naturally adheres to the principle of keeping the fat within the family, so he certainly hopes that all transactions and capital expenditures will be made in Yanxi's bank.

This can also bring new customers to their bank.

Moreover, these customers are different from most ordinary customers. The material suppliers that Zhetong trades with are all very powerful, and the capital transactions generated are also very high.

Everyone will get used to these fund flows. If you have been using Fuqiao Bank, you will habitually treat the account opened here as one of the main cards you have been using.

This means that these high-quality customers will also become one of Fuqiao Bank's loyal customers.

Under such circumstances, Lin Zhe naturally hopes to retain these customers as soon as possible.

So after listening to Lin Zhe, Yan Xi immediately started planning at home. No matter what, branches must be opened in these areas to handle business for local suppliers who have economic relations with Zhetong Electric Power.

Including local workers, their wages can all be paid through their own banks. There are more than a dozen branches in more than a dozen regions. For example, in large places like Hong Kong Island and Guangdong, there are at least three branches at the beginning. Later, we may pay attention to increasing the number of branches.

After some thought, Yan Xi determined the number of branches, a total of twenty-six branches were opened.

There are twenty-six branches, some large and some small. The largest one may have dozens of staff members, and the smaller one may have a dozen employees, which adds up to several hundred people.

This is very exciting for Yan Xi, because Fuqiao Bank is growing stronger and stronger.

"Thank you, husband. Hehe, if it weren't for you, Fuqiao wouldn't be able to develop to its current level."

After hearing this, Lin Zhe smiled.

For example, in the early days, Fuqiao Bank's influence was limited to Binhai. Including the districts and counties under Binhai, there were only dozens of banks in total.

But now the influence of Fuqiao Bank has spread across the country. At the beginning, every time it arrived in a new place, Fuqiao Bank’s customers were all Zhetong’s employees, as well as some suppliers related to Zhetong.

For example, the vegetable suppliers of the factory canteen, etc., the settlement and payment of these payments are all made through Fuqiao Bank.

So they all became clients of Fuqiao Bank, but over time, some ordinary local people, or other institutions that had nothing to do with Zhetong Electric Power, would gradually choose Fuqiao Bank, and the number of clients was increasing.

Now there are dozens of more branches at once, Yan Xi is naturally very happy.

Dozens of branches and hundreds of employees, this is the largest expansion of Fuqiao Bank, so she is also a little excited.

"The factories in Hong Kong Island and Guangdong City are already under construction, and the remaining dozen locations will soon be on the agenda, so you have to prepare candidates for the new branches as soon as possible. Do you need help with the HR department? If you need help, I can transfer some personnel from the headquarters."

"I can still handle hundreds of applicants here. No need."

……

Three months later, Zhetong Power began supplying electricity throughout Xinjiang Province.

Previously, only rural and township areas used Zhetong electricity, but now urban areas in Xinjiang Province have also used it. At the same time, the number of employees in the group has also increased significantly.

In addition to Zhetong Electric Power, there are now Fuqiao Banks all over Xinjiang Province.

In addition, the planning of factories in the remaining ten second- and third-tier cities has also begun, and everything is going well.

As for overseas areas, since the carjacking incident, work in South Africa has gone much more smoothly. Basically, as long as they see the power supply vehicle or logo of Zhetong Electric Power, no one in the local area will come to cause trouble or anything.

The group's business in South Africa has also begun to move towards the border and has started to contact neighboring countries. It is preparing to open several more factories in Africa and open up other markets.

Although the electricity market there is incomparable to other places, Zhetong's costs are there after all, and it is basically profitable anyway under the condition of "zero-cost" power generation.

In addition, other power companies are unwilling to work here, which gives Zhetong an opportunity. It is even easier to develop the market here than in China. Wherever the power plant is opened, users will come. (End of this chapter)
