Chapter 377 Putting the Cart Before the Horse
the next day.
President Yang came to Chu Yang's office with a smile on his face.
After a few months in Baichuan, Chu Yang has discovered that this guy is known as the "smiling tiger". Don't think that his smile is a good thing, he might be planning how to plot against you in his heart.
Moreover, Chu Yang also heard from others that Yang Mingyang was the most vengeful person. All those who had offended him in the past were demoted without exception. Chu Yang knew very well that this person was not an ordinary person.
But as long as he doesn't provoke him, Chu Yang doesn't plan to show him his big thing.
When Chu Yang saw him coming in, he immediately stood up in a fake manner and asked in a friendly manner: "Boss Yang, I'm a rare guest. What kind of tea would you like, Maojian or Ruilu?"
Mr. Yang laughed and said, "If you come to Mr. Chu's place, you must drink your Ruilu . I have a lot of Maojian."
Chu Yang: "Haha, it turns out that you, Mr. Yang, are fickle." He made tea for him himself . This green stamen was not actually tea. It was just the stamen of a flower called the king of flowers. It was said to have miraculous aphrodisiac effects. Zhiying introduced it to him.
Chu Yang drank it reluctantly. It tasted quite good.
Mr. Yang answered while sitting at his seat: "Mr. Chu is nostalgic. He always orders the same girl every time he goes there, hahaha." The place he orders is always the famous abalone place in Baichuan.
Those places where construction parties like to entertain guests the most.
"I can't help it, I like girls who are familiar with me." Chu Yang replied. Actually, there was no other meaning, it was more comfortable to be familiar with them, and it was difficult to chat with unfamiliar girls.
Yang Mingyang smiled: "Haha, I understand you, a mature woman."
Chu Yang did not deny it and made him a cup of tea.
Sometimes, not speaking is also an art.
Yang Mingyang took the teacup and took a sip: "Well, Mr. Chu's tea is good."
Chu Yang immediately replied, "Mr. Yang likes it. I'll ask someone to bring you a few bags." He just said it casually. This tea is really not available easily.
Yang Mingyang: "Okay, bring me a few packs when you have time."
Chu Yang said nothing and filled his glass again.
After a pause, Mr. Yang asked, "What are the results of the line loss inspection at the power supply station? Is it okay?"
Chu Yang thought, how come you don’t know, and yet you ask me?
Chu Yang answered directly: "Haha, Mr. Yang, to be honest, it is much worse than I imagined. The line loss of Tianluoshan Station has reached 32, which is exaggerated in the whole province."
Mr. Yang pretended to be surprised and said, "No way, it seems that Xiao Jing has left you a mess. But I am not afraid with you here. I believe you can do it well. Try to improve the line loss next year."
Xiao Jing is Chu Yang's former vice president. He was appointed as the head of the county company by Mr. Li, which is considered a good job.
Chu Yang replied: "Then we need your strong support, Mr. Yang. Please allocate some of the company's resources to us. The main network and the distribution network are all one family. Don't show favoritism. If our distribution network is not good, it won't work if the main network is good. We need to make up for the shortcomings so that we can move forward together."
Chu Yang also realized that his distribution network was just a hard and stinky stone in the eyes of Mr. Yang's forces. They didn't even want to look at it. Anyway, the lives of the people below had nothing to do .
However, the main network is a piece of delicious fat meat. The annual project fee is more than 1 billion yuan. You can be full by just taking some money, so the company does not spend much on the distribution network every year.
If you don't pay me, how can I build a good distribution network?
Does it cost money to increase the capacity of the transformer?
Does it cost money to increase the radius of the line?
Does it cost money to reinforce and raise the height of the line towers with concrete poles?
I’m not a god, and I can’t turn stones into gold, right?
Yang Mingyang looked at Chu Yang and said grimly, "The funding issue is indeed a big problem. I fully support you and I will definitely give you whatever I can.
However, as you know, our city's electricity consumption is not high, and the provincial company does not pay much attention to it. The funds for the West-to-East Power Transmission Project on the main grid were all paid by our company, and the funds from the provincial company have not been received yet.
Chu Yang, you are familiar with Mr. Li and have worked as his secretary. You should fight for us. You are now a member of Baichuan Company. You should speak from the perspective of Baichuan Company. No matter how much money you bring back, I will give you 10% of the network. Is that okay?"
Haha, I give up, Mr. Yang, you are so shameless, asking me to get money from the provincial company for you, and then only giving me 10% of the online investment? Is it fun to be so stingy?
This is probably why I came here to have tea today.
This is using yourself as a gun.
Chu Yang's expression remained enthusiastic as he replied, "Of course, I'll talk to Director Li when I get back this week."
At the weekend, Chu Yang returned to the provincial capital and had some things to report to Director Li.
"Chu Yang, have you gotten used to being down there ? How's your work going?" Director Li was also concerned about Chu Yang.
Chu Yang answered truthfully: "It's okay, I'm used to it, but our CEO Yang sent me to ask you for money. He is my leader, so I can only do as he says. I have no other choice."
Director Li narrowed his eyes and angrily scolded in a low voice: "This Yang Mingyang keeps complaining to me about being poor. Every year, the company gives him additional funds, but what achievements has his company made? The line rate has been rising all the way, but I wonder how he spent all that money."
Chu Yang knew he shouldn't tell tales, but since this was his father-in-law, he couldn't hide it from him: "Boss Li, our CEO Yang doesn't pay attention to the construction of the distribution network at all. All the expenses are invested in the main network. In his opinion, low-voltage lines are a loss-making business. The only profitable business is the high-voltage lines of the main network. The 10kV lines below haven't been technically upgraded for more than ten years. Some transformers are still old hydraulic ones with insufficient capacity. The living voltage of the people in many areas is not enough."
In fact, Mr. Yang’s approach is correct and is extremely selfish.
Is the main grid the foundation for survival in mountainous areas? The distribution network is indeed a money-losing business. Generally, there are only a few households after building a distribution network line of more than ten kilometers. How much electricity can be sold in a year?
Is there ten degrees? You can’t make back your investment even in a hundred years.
But he forgot that the Aiguo Electric Power Company is not purely a profit-making company. It also bears social responsibilities and has the lofty mission of ensuring people's access to electricity.
Upon hearing this, Director Li angrily cursed, "This guy is indeed very shrewd. He can make the company profitable in a short period of time, but by doing this, he is putting the cart before the horse. This will also slowly erode the glorious image of 'putting people first' that Aiguo Company has established over the years. You know, the reason why our company can stand firm is because we follow the mass line and put the people at the center. We want to make sure that the people can use electricity with peace of mind."
As expected of Mr. Li, the big picture was revealed, and Chu Yang suddenly felt how insignificant he was.
Chu Yang also nodded: "Mr. Li, if the power company does not have the support of the masses, it is like a tree without roots and a source of water. So I think you should make a rule that the money allocated each year should be separated between the main network and the distribution network. It must be used in the main network or the distribution network. The main network cannot spend the money of the distribution network."
Because every year the provincial company allocates money to each municipal company, they throw it down as a lump sum, and then the municipal companies below distribute it among themselves, which now has created a situation where there are hundreds of rivers.
Director Li thought for a moment and replied, "Okay, I'll go back and hold a board meeting to study it and come up with a plan by then."
Chu Yang was very pleased: "Then Mr. Li, our company's money, look..."
Director Li glanced at Chu Yang and said, "Go to the finance department on Monday. I'll just give them a call. But Chu Yang, remember, don't touch the money."
Chu Yang: "I know, I'm not short of money."
