His name is Wuping.
Through his interactions with Wu Ping, Wang Tianxiao discovered that Wu Ping had a strong ability to learn, so he worked with him to solve various problems. After a month or two of development, the factory basically returned to its former prosperity.
The newly manufactured utility poles are of excellent quality. They are not only used in Qingquan Town, but are also being considered as alternative products by surrounding towns. Some townships have already placed orders in advance.
Faced with this thriving scene, Wang Tianxiao had a special conversation with Zhang Wenyuan, telling him not to be blinded by profit and to always keep a clear head, not to earn money that shouldn't be earned, and not to relax the quality of products that should be guaranteed in the slightest.
Furthermore, Wang Tianxiao advised Zhang Wenyuan not to rush to raise prices, even though there was a shortage of utility poles at the moment.
He believes that now is the crucial moment for Wen Yuan Prefabricated Plant to occupy the market. In the next ten years or so, every town will need to develop rural roads, which will be a huge market with benefits and profits far exceeding those of small utility poles.
Cast a long line to catch a big fish.
To build a big business, you must be able to endure temporary loneliness, sow seeds in many directions, and reap abundant rewards when the harvest comes.
Wu Ping was initially very unconvinced by Wang Tianxiao, thinking that such a person could not possibly be capable. However, after some events and with Zhang Wenyuan's constant promotion of him, he gradually realized Wang Tianxiao's prowess. Eventually, just like Zhang Fei meeting Zhuge Liang, he became arrogant at first but respectful later.
The power lines in Wangjia Village have been re-laid. The substandard utility poles have all been dug up and new ones have been put into the old locations.
Progress has been quite rapid.
By mid-May, the entire Wangjia Village had been completely traversed, and the western part had reached Mijia Village.
Wang Tianxiao learned from the power supply station that the progress in Mijia Village was even faster than that in Wangjia Village. The people in their village were very motivated, and everyone was waiting for electricity to be delivered to their homes; they were almost impatient.
Mijia Village is located at the border with Xia Liu Village. Wang Tianxiao has been concerned about the location of the transformer and substation, so progress is very important to them.
He personally went to Mijia Village to check on the progress. Seeing that there was less than a week left before they needed to meet, he went to the power distribution station again.
He now went directly to Station Chief Li to discuss the resettlement site.
Originally, Station Chief Li had promised him that he would consider placing the transformer at the border of Yangziling and Xialiu Village.
But after hearing his explanation, Station Chief Li chuckled, crossed his legs, and slowly refused to give a definite answer.
Wang Tianxiao initially spoke politely, saying that attitude was important since he was asking for a favor.
But as he listened, he realized that Station Chief Li was clearly going back on his word because he saw that things were going very smoothly and he had basically completed his mission.
He hesitated and stammered, not uttering a single affirmative word for a long time.
It's just repeating the same old thing over and over.
Wang Tianxiao finally became unhappy.
His face gradually darkened, and he shifted his posture, leaning back comfortably on the sofa. He said calmly, "So, Station Chief Li, do you think my request is a bit difficult to fulfill? Or even hopeless?"
Seeing Wang Tianxiao suddenly become serious, Station Chief Li showed no politeness and said sarcastically, "Little Wang, look at this. Our project is planned as a whole. It's not something that anyone can change at will, is it?"
"Is it that you can't change it, or that you don't want to change it? When I came to you before, you didn't say it was impossible."
“Well… I didn’t want to disappoint you back then,” Station Chief Li smiled slightly. “Anyway, that’s how it is. Now that you understand, don’t make things difficult for me. No matter what you say, I can’t agree to it.”
Wang Tianxiao stood up and smiled calmly: "Do you remember when I came to see you that time, I told you that I would help you with something?"
"You... you seem to have said that, but you haven't done anything at all."
Station Chief Li hesitated, unsure of what Wang Tianxiao meant.
"So you probably forgot, but I advanced the money for the main line of one of the lines in Wangjia Village. If..." Wang Tianxiao smiled coldly, "If I'm unwilling to submit this funding, what do you think will happen?"
"You can't do this. Besides, you paid that money on behalf of your villagers. What does it have to do with my power substation?"
"Really? Is it really okay? Can this project be delayed any longer?"
"...Are you threatening me?" Station Chief Li questioned angrily.
“No, I’m just a person who keeps his promises, and I hate anyone who lacks integrity, like…” Wang Tianxiao looked at Station Chief Li, “like someone like you.”
"How can you be so shameless? Do you think I'm afraid of you? At worst, we'll pay for that part first. The utility pole is already in place; it's just the cost of the wires, which we can afford. Later, when someone needs electricity, they can just pay the difference. This shouldn't be a problem for me."
"Is it that simple?" Wang Tianxiao asked with a smile.
What else can you do?
"I remember the utility poles have already been laid to Mijia Village, right? If, at this time, the Wenyuan Prefabrication Plant suddenly breaks down and needs repairs, and the existing utility poles happen to have been pre-ordered by Dongyuan Town, do you think the project in Mijia Village can still be completed on schedule?"
"What do you mean?" Station Chief Li felt a sense of foreboding. "You think you can control the utility pole factory? You're not thinking of damaging their equipment, are you? That's illegal and against the law. Are you sure you want to do that?"
“That’s none of your concern,” Wang Tianxiao stood up and walked outside. “What I do is my business. I can temporarily withhold the power; I’ve managed all these years anyway. But if you fail to complete the mission soon, then…”
