Chapter 15 – Town mayor: Take you to attract investment

This power outage was much more severe than the one at Xu's old house.

Xu Fei even saw flames coming out of the wooden electric poles on the roadside.

This has nothing to do with voltage.

It is due to excessive current, circuit overload, resulting in conductor heating and short circuit of damaged insulation.

In other words, our power is still too high.

Xu Fei squatted down and calculated with a dry branch.

The power plant's three-phase five-wire circuit, 330kV, can accommodate a current of at least 300A.

Voltage multiplied by current equals power.

Power plant output: 330kV multiplied by 300A equals 99,000 kW.

Our own workshop: 500 MW equals 500,000 kW.

Ten card slots: 500,000 kW multiplied by 10 equals 5 million kW.

"99,000, 5 million, such a big difference?"

"Do we need to use several million volts of high voltage?"

"There is no power plant nearby that big."

"Besides, it's just making a toy, is it necessary?"

After struggling with this, Xu Fei thought of the ten conveyor belts, producing 100,000 items in one second and 200,000 items in two seconds, and felt relieved.

"Old Huang's big order, the first batch of 10,000 pieces can be delivered directly, but packaging is a problem."

"It seems that we need to recruit workers quickly, the requirements don't need to be too high, as long as they can fold paper boxes and pack them."

Of course.

Although the power transmission is constant, the higher the voltage level of the line, the smaller the current, but 300A current...

Household appliances are all milliamperes or a few amperes.

300A current, I'm afraid it can shock people.

Thinking of this, Xu Fei belatedly decided that the next time he entered the substation, he would definitely wear rubber boots, rubber clothes, gloves, and a helmet with a light.

............

The next day.

Small Lake Town Toy Factory.

Even though two big orders were taken away, the factory still had no shortage of sales.

Hundreds of production lines, whether it was metal die-casting, plastic molding, spray painting, or assembly inspection...

A quick look at "pawread.com" will leave you more fulfilled.

But today, it stopped.

For the first time in five years.

It is said that a phase wire from the generator at the power plant melted.

The repair will take at least three days, up to five to ten days.

The employees who came to work early in the morning heard this news and were quite happy.

No one wants to stay on the production line or assembly line day and night, doing the same thing repeatedly.

And this stoppage was not caused by the employees themselves.

Salaries will still be paid, but there will be no performance bonuses.

"Let's go, let's go to the county town to sing!"

"Is there a movie to watch?"

"Who knows how to play computer? It's a waste of time!"

"Let's go home and make babies..."

Factory Director's office.

Factory Director Hu Zhen didn't worry about the power outage.

After all, no matter what, using something day and night for five years will cause damage.

At this moment.

He was receiving five senior employees of the factory.

"You guys will go to Huang Mud Hillock Toy Factory, and your main task is to find out their production volume, cost, material channels, and customer base."

"You guys have been with me, Hu Zhen, for more than a year or two in the factory. Although you are doing work with no technical content, I have not treated you badly."

Hu Zhen said, taking out five envelopes, "Stay there for a year or so undercover, your wages will still be paid, and you will receive a monthly bonus. When you come back, you will all be workshop directors."

"Of course, let me make it clear, if anyone provides false information or misleads our factory, their whole family, not just in Small Lake Town, but even in the whole Gucheng County, will not be able to stay."

The five employees looked at each other, and one of the older ones spoke up, "Don't worry, Factory Director. With the five of us, we guarantee that Huang Mud Hillock Toy Factory will go bankrupt in less than a year!"

Another younger one smirked and suggested, "We can also do some tricks, such as secretly damaging the production equipment and pulling the circuit breakers."

Hu Zhen laughed heartily and handed out the five envelopes to everyone, "Good, when you return triumphantly, I will treat you!"

"Thank you, Factory Director!"

After the employees left.

Hu Zhen gestured to the deputy factory director beside him, "Find a few tough guys from the town and make some trouble at their factory. As long as they can't start production, we can continue our normal production. Whether it's a foreign enterprise or not, the gap will only get bigger!"

"Should we inform Black Tiger?"

"That guy? I'm afraid he will make a big deal out of it."

"Just inform him, if he wants to go, let him go. If he goes and gets things done without causing trouble, we'll give him some benefits. If he doesn't go or causes trouble, what does it have to do with us?"

"Makes sense!"

...............

Early in the morning, Half Blind Huang took five followers to the county town to order mobile phones, computers, office supplies, and also bought a Jinbei Dolphin.

At the same time, he contacted the big customers and paid for the goods on the spot.

Xu Fei stayed at the toy factory all night and was a little sleepy. He instructed another fifteen salesmen to keep a close eye on the newly produced toys and planned to go home and take a nap.

As for how the toys came about?

They were produced through debugging!Believe it or not!

Anyway, I've explained it, and the confidentiality agreement didn't warn me.

Stepping out of the workshop.

The old electricians of the Electric Fan Factory were busy repairing the substation.

Through the idle chat yesterday afternoon, Xu Fei learned.

These old men, who had watched him grow up and were now over sixty, were so active not because they wanted to work in the toy factory.

Instead, they planned to use the favors they had accumulated by helping, so that when they sold ice cream in the summer or roasted sweet potatoes in the winter, they wouldn't be driven away by the toy factory.

In response, Xu Fei gave each of them a White General cigarette and promised to set up a small tin house for them at a fixed point, creating a 'Toy Factory Food City'.

The old men were skeptical, but they worked even harder.

Arriving at the gate.

The village head, with his briefcase, had just parked his bicycle, "Xu Fei, all the business licenses and such are in here, you must keep them safe."

"Don't worry." Xu Fei thought of what Old Xu had said last night, "Um, leader, can you bring the old station master back?"

"Hmm?"

"My dad is a bit lonely."

"???"

"No, he wants to learn some agricultural machinery repair skills from the old station master."

"Rehire him? The quota is limited, it's not easy to operate."

"What about contract workers?"

"Do you think the Agriculture Bureau is willing to pay an extra salary?"

"What about our village?"

"I haven't received my salary for half a year, just waiting to finish the investment promotion and get the financial allocation."

"Leader, you are experienced, do you have any good solutions?"

The village head thought for a moment, looked around, and whispered: "Xu Fei, I've worked with your grandfather for so many years, and when I was transferred to the village compound, it was your grandfather who helped me. Otherwise, I wouldn't be where I am now, so we're not outsiders."

"Hmm!"

"What I'm going to say next, if anything is wrong, don't get angry."

"Just say it."

"Actually, your dad is just idle."

"Hmm?"

"You see, he was originally a battalion commander, full of spirit when he returned to his hometown, witnessed some dirty and disgusting things, wanted to fight injustice, but received unexpected treatment, and then was sent to the agricultural machinery station. When he calmed down, he suddenly realized that he knew nothing but fighting. Some people with incorrect thoughts might go astray. Some with firm thoughts, what would they want to do?"

"Realize self-worth!"

"Right, so, your dad doesn't want to learn skills, he wants to show his ambition."

"I can't ask him to resign and sell toys with me, can I?"

"No need, I have a good suggestion!"

"Hmm?"

"Join me in attracting investment!"

"Eh? Good idea!"

"So it's settled?"

"He still stays at the agricultural machinery station?"

"Of course, attracting investment involves everyone in the village. Whoever is capable gets the job. When your dad achieves something, we can bring it up again. The county can't say anything about it, right?"

"Ginger is still the old spicy!"

Meanwhile.

Five old men arrived at the entrance of the toy factory.

Seeing Xu Fei who had just sent off the village head, one of them asked.

"Young man, do you know where the toy factory is hiring?"

"It's full!"

"Hmm?"

"We can't even arrange for people from our village, how could we hire from outside?"

"......"
