Wu Changfeng originally planned to fly to the island nation in ten days to attend the annual agricultural machinery exhibition.
Don't be fooled by the fact that weeders don't seem to fall under the category of agricultural machinery.
However, these are all hardcore machines, and they are also essential products abroad.
Generally speaking, those buyers will not act as agents for a single product.
Buyers will pay attention to and purchase any equipment that involves mechanical work.
This is also why Wu Changfeng wanted to go to the island nation.
But now...
A phone call from the Cangxi Iron Mine disrupted Wu Changfeng's plans.
initial.
Wu Changfeng thought that Xiao Liu had encountered some difficult problem again.
But after answering the phone, I realized it was a call from Manager Ren of the Cangxi Iron Mine.
Mine Manager Ren first inquired about his well-being, asking, "Brother, what are you doing?"
Generally speaking, if you already know someone and have a good relationship with them, the first thing they'll ask you when they call is, "What are you doing?"
That was all to lay the groundwork for what was to come.
Something must have happened!
Wu Changfeng replied into the phone, "Ah, it's flying in the sky."
"Huh?" Mine Manager Ren was caught off guard: "You can make phone calls while on an airplane? This isn't a satellite phone."
"That's what makes me awesome; I can't even get down from here."
Mine Manager Ren: ...
Dude, you can't play like that!
I know perfectly well what I need to talk to you about, but you've made up some excuse?
"Brother," Mine Manager Ren sighed, "I knew you were in Jiangcheng, so I came to find you."
Wu Changfeng asked warily, "What do you want with me?"
"Something came up."
"You can say that over the phone too."
"I'm not afraid to say it, are you just going to hang up the phone?"
"Aren't you afraid that if you come over here, I'll hit you after you finish speaking?"
"Brother, you're definitely not that violent."
Wu Changfeng sighed: "Just say what you have to say. I'm listening. I'll listen to good news, but I'll shut my ears to bad news."
Manager Ren said, "I'm really at my wit's end. I'm very serious about asking you to do something for me."
"What's up?"
“That’s how it is.” Mine Manager Ren was silent for a moment: “Didn’t you help my mine solve the employment problem a while ago, with that marble decorative stone?”
Wu Changfeng frowned. How long has it been?
Don't tell me you haven't sorted out your sales channels yet?
That's way too bad.
If you have teammates like that, there's no way to help them up.
I look down on your Cangxi Iron Mine.
Wu Changfeng asked, "Didn't you find a sales channel?"
Manager Ren replied, "How could that be! We certainly have that skill, and the key is that our products are truly of excellent quality."
"We found a few carving and art teachers, and all the young people in our town have learned carving."
"It's very popular with foreigners."
Wu Changfeng asked in confusion, "Then what do you want from me?"
“Well…” Mine Manager Ren stammered, “It’s because my work ability is not good enough. You know, carving requires electricity.”
"Our Cangxi Iron Mine doesn't have any power plant; the power is all supplied by the Hunshui Hydropower Plant."
"This power plant keeps cutting off my power, which is making me very uncomfortable."
"The delivery date is approaching, but the stone factory keeps shutting down due to power problems."
"If you can't deliver the goods, I'll have to pay compensation!"
Wu Changfeng really didn't expect this.
The mine manager was stumped by the electricity.
But then I thought about it again.
Indeed, there was a severe power shortage during this period.
Power plants frequently experience power outages and blackouts.
Even their own factory experienced power outages several times.
Of course, if Jiangcheng hadn't adjusted the power grid to ensure uninterrupted power supply, they probably would have faced a situation where they worked for half a day and rested for the other half.
This demonstrates the benefits of having a good relationship with local leaders.
There are some things that you can't figure out, but others will make them crystal clear for you.
Speaking of electricity, not only now, but even in later generations, there have been several large-scale power outages.
Of course, it wasn't that there wasn't enough electricity, but rather that there was a slight problem with the settings.
But they are essentially the same.
The Cangxi iron mine was overlooked during power grid regulation.
Currently, the most important electricity needs to be allocated to military and civilian use.
The Cangxi Iron Mine is naturally among those subject to power rationing.
Wu Changfeng asked, "Didn't you try asking the power plant for electricity?"
The mine manager sounded somewhat sad and tired on the other end of the phone, saying, "Why didn't you accept it? I've already treated the power plant supervisor to several meals."
"They were fine during dinner, and promised to give us electricity."
"As soon as it got serious, it started whining and wouldn't give me any power, which almost drove me crazy."
"This food has all gone to the dog's stomach."
After saying that, Mine Manager Ren felt that something was wrong with what he said. Hadn't he eaten it too?
Then he changed his tune and said, "They've all been eaten by that ungrateful wretch!"
"Why?" Wu Changfeng asked.
According to Wu Changfeng, the Hunhe Power Plant is quite large.
Marble factories don't use much electricity.
Compared to the amount of electricity generated, it's like a firefly versus the bright moon.
The difference in magnitude is too great.
Are we still short a little bit of electricity?
Mine Manager Ren said, "I don't understand it either. I don't use much electricity anyway."
"After making inquiries, I learned that the Hunhe Hydropower Plant has five generator units, one of which is under maintenance and another is almost scrapped."
"The other three generator sets also generate electricity for a short time and then stop. They dare not generate electricity around the clock."
"Huh?" Wu Changfeng was stunned.
What the hell is going on?
The maintenance was impeccable.
Why is there one that's already scrapped?
The other generating units are not yet ready to operate around the clock.
