"Our 'Greenland' Oxygen Plant has an excellent environment and a suitable location. Although the equipment is a little old, our productivity isn't too far behind.
"We also have a complete business channel and advanced production concept. As long as we can upgrade the equipment, we'll be sure...
"The most important thing is that although we've been shut down due to operational issues, in less than two years at most, the government will issue a new round of regulations..."
While Chen Chen was touring around the "Greenland" Oxygen Plant, the director in his thirties had been following him around, giving him endless recommendations.
The director of the "Greenland" Oxygen Plant was a middle-aged man dressed in a suit and leather shoes. He was quite handsome but because of his slanted eyebrows, he gave off the feeling of a victim.
At first, Chen Chen did not quite understand why the factory was named this way. It was only when Chen Chen saw the appearance of the owner that he immediately understood.
"Hmm, it's just so-so."
Chen Chen waved his hand with an indifferent expression. "Stop egging me on. I can't afford to buy your factory. I just want to rent it for a while."
"That's fine too. If you're willing to rent it, we can waive the depreciation fee for the equipment. According to the market price, it'll be three hundred thousand a month. I'll give you a thirty percent discount. How about two hundred thousand?"
"That's too expensive."
Chen Chen shook his head. "Since your factory has been shut down, it's better to rent it cheaper. I don't think anyone else would rent your factory other than me, right?"
"Well..." The man smiled awkwardly. "Two hundred thousand isn't much. Our factory occupies seven or eight acres of land and hundreds of equipment. If that's too much..."
"I'd like to take a look at the transformer here." Chen Chen changed the subject.
"Alright, please follow me."
The man did not care about anything else. He led Chen Chen to the power distribution room and pointed to the huge metal object in the air. "This is our 10kv dry-type electric transformer with a capacity of 200KVA. It's enough to supply a large factory without any problems."
"The factory's electricity isn't high-voltage, right?" Chen Chen asked.
"Yes, it's only 380V industrial electricity, so we need a step-up transformer to handle it."
Chen Chen nodded and thought for a moment. He suddenly said, "How about this, I'll pay one hundred and fifty thousand a month for rent for your factory. The down payment will be for three months. We may extend the time in the future. What do you think?"
"One hundred and fifty thousand is a little too little. We have more than a dozen employees here and we need money for our daily needs." The man seemed troubled.
"I don't need your employees," Chen Chen replied.
"This?" The man was stunned. He exchanged glances with the people behind him. "If that's the case, what about the electricity and depreciation fees?"
"Of course I'll pay for the electricity myself. If the machine is damaged, I'll pay for it according to the price," Chen Chen replied.
"Good, straightforward enough!"
The man finally smiled cunningly. "Mr. Chen, it's been a pleasure working with you!"
"Happy cooperation!"
The two shook hands and revealed foxy smiles at the same time.
On the one hand, he had finally found a sucker. Anyway, he would lose money if he just left it there. He might as well rent it out and cut his losses as much as possible.
The other was aiming for the other party's qualification to supply electricity. The factory was just a cover. It might seem like he was at a disadvantage, but who would know that Chen Chen's real goal was to get drunk and have an ulterior motive?
After signing the contract, Chen Chen received the keys to the factory gate and the power distribution room.
Initially, the other party wanted to treat Chen Chen to a meal, but Chen Chen politely declined. After exchanging pleasantries and sending off the original owner of the factory, Chen Chen went to the warehouse and found a section of high-voltage cable.
This cable was as thick as a fist and could withstand a high voltage of 110KV. It was enough for Chen Chen.
Not only that, Chen Chen also found a few copper ingots in the warehouse, then found a welding torch. Only then did he make his way to the power distribution room.
After cutting off the main power supply, Chen Chen unplugged all the equipment wires on the transformer and installed the high-voltage cable on it. Then, he soldered the other end of the cable to the copper ingot.
After fixing the copper ingot and insulating it, Chen Chen took out a USB port from his pocket and used a hand drill to embed the parts from the USB into the copper ingot.
After doing all this, Chen Chen took out the USB drive and gave it a try. The USB drive was inserted into the USB port on the copper ingot with perfect precision.
"Success or failure, it all depends on this."
Chen Chen took a deep breath, turned around, walked into the power distribution room, and connected the power.
"Buzz!"
Instantly, the transformer outside the door let out a low hum, like a giant beast that had been awakened. It was the sound of voltage being pressurized by the transformer.
Chen Chen looked at the electricity meter on the side. On the LCD meter, the number representing the degree began to jump slowly.
There was hope!
Chen Chen's eyes glowed with excitement. "A transformer with a capacity of 200KVA. According to the most ideal power calculation, it can input 200KW of electricity per hour, which can charge the USB drive 4800 degrees per day..."
Chen Chen pondered silently. "Of course, the power factor is generally between 0.8 and 0.9. In other words, it can be charged about 4000 degrees per day..."
As far as he knew, the industrial electricity price in Shangdu was around 0.75 yuan. This meant that he would have to pay 120,000 in electricity to charge the USB drive for a month.
This was daylight robbery.
Of course, forget a few hundred thousand in electricity, even if it was millions or tens of millions, if he could exchange it for a chance to trade for a certain prop in the movie, it would still be an amazing bargain.
In short, the plan this time was nearing its end. As long as he could successfully obtain enough energy, Chen Chen would be able to retract his foot from the gates of hell.
Everything was difficult at the beginning. With the completion of the first step of capital accumulation, Chen Chen was officially on the fast track of development. His strength would expand at an exponential rate.
In the near future, Chen Chen could use the USB drive to accelerate human civilization and even stand at the pinnacle of power in the Earth Federation!
Chen Chen silently withdrew his thoughts and smiled to himself. It was still too early to be thinking about these things.
Looking at the constantly rotating electricity meter, Chen Chen was sure that he had unplugged all the equipment on the transformer. The power of the entire factory was being supplied to the USB drive.
With this in mind, Chen Chen left the power distribution room and went outside again. He saw that the USB drive was still quietly inserted into the palm-sized copper ingot.
If it was an ordinary electrical appliance, it would have been burned by the tremendous high pressure.
Only this USB drive could remain unscathed.
It was not that Chen Chen had not tried other methods to observe the USB drive during this period. For example, he could remove the cover of the USB drive to look at its internal structure.
However, as Chen Chen expected, this USB drive was made of some unknown material. It was not something that could be damaged by a human.
In the beginning, he tried it carefully for fear of damaging the USB drive. Later, he even used a glass knife to scratch it randomly, but he could not leave a single scratch.
The Mohs hardness of this USB drive had far exceeded the natural maximum of 10.
Still, seeing that the USB drive had not suffered any accidents, Chen Chen still secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
What he had to do next was to wait in silence.
When he had money in the future, he must buy a higher-power transformer. How could 200KVA be enough? 200KVA was more like it.
