Ruan Lei went to Room 808 of the hotel early in the morning. Secretary Lan was full of praise for Ruan Lei's plan and had the five secretaries split up to carry it out. It was almost ten o 'clock. Looking at Ruan Lei's orderly arrangements, he felt that the electric scooter demonstration was not a big problem.
Secretary Lan was worried about Huang Chenglong's work. When he learned that Nancheng Li Liang's team had arrived and that Huang Chenglong was negotiating with them, he was worried. He contacted Liu Dehou and exchanged opinions. After obtaining Liu Dehou's approval, he took his secretary and went straight to Huaqiao Town.
When there were no tigers in the mountains, Room 808 Ruan Lei's monkey became king.
Chen Weizheng and Ou Jie slept until ten o 'clock. They took a copy of Nanguo's Morning Breeze and Gu Yi City's Evening News and went to the dining room to eat breakfast.
Li Xiaowan's article was still on the front page. The title was also written with the help of Chen Weizheng, "Gu Yi City Citizens Chase Scooters." The author, Fan Cha, used a humorous tone to write about Gu Yi's spontaneous tour of the outer ring vividly on paper, full of wit.
"Li Xiaowan's article is well written! She has the potential to become a famous reporter. "Chen Weizheng said. He handed the newspaper to Ou Jie.
Ou Jie glanced over it and said: "With such a good event and such a brilliant story, if they can't capture it, then their newspaper is only fit to be a gossip."
"Gu Yi City's Evening News is a bit worse. They always emphasize the construction of the industrial park and the entry of investors. These things are still uncertain. If they say it in advance, then you leak it. If they say it wrong, then you gossip. In front of the leaders, the media won't gain anything." Chen Weizheng shook the Gu Yi City's Evening News.
"This reflects the quality of the newspaper operator. Gu Yi City's Evening News' method is the thinking of most newspaper operators. They want to use this method to curry favor, but they don't know that this method is the easiest way to curry favor with the leaders," Ou Jie said.
"Li, Cai, and Liang are all written here. If these three don't succeed in their investment, wouldn't they be slapping themselves in the face? Cai probably wasn't too sure. Had Li and Liang's teams arrived yet? I don't think Huang Chenglong will be able to deal with them. "Chen Weizheng pointed at the contents of the newspaper.
Ou Jie finished dealing with the powder in his mouth and said, "Let's go to 808 and deal with the assistant's work."
"Okay." Chen Weizheng finished the Mottled Fish porridge in his bowl and walked into the elevator with him.
When they entered 808, Ruan Lei was talking to the head of the second branch of the public transport company. The second branch of the public transport company's parking lot was located at the intersection of the highway. It was a good place to park 40 electric scooters. When the head of the second branch of the public transport company saw that it was a young girl who was negotiating with him, he didn't know where she came from and looked down on her. First, he didn't agree to let her park her scooters, and then he said that he would charge her a parking fee of 100 yuan per scooter. At this time, Chen Weizheng walked in and took out a handful of money. He counted out 40 yuan and handed it to Ruan Lei. Ruan Lei asked the other party to write a receipt. When the other party asked for the name of the payer, Ruan Lei said that it was Gu Yi City's Municipal Party Committee Lan Shigao. The other party took the money, wrote a receipt, and left.
One of the Secretariat staff said, "Xiao Ruan, there's no place to report this kind of money."
Ruan Lei pointed at Chen Weizheng and said, "This is the big boss of the Longshan Battery Plant. He has the nerve to report such a small amount of money."
Chen Weizheng asked, "Secretary Lan hasn't come yet?"
Ruan Lei said, "Who's like the two of you? You woke up naturally and only showed up now. Secretary Lan rushed to Huaqiao Town. He heard that Li and Liang's teams have arrived and are bargaining with Huang Chenglong. Secretary Lan is afraid that they won't be able to hold on, so he personally went down to keep an eye on them."
"Commander Ruan, tell us, what do you want us to do?" Chen Weizheng said.
"The two of you are free to do whatever you want, but there is one thing you must do. No matter when the complimentary scooters from the four major scooters arrive, the two of you must find a way to smoothly drive the scooters to the Ethnic Square tomorrow. We just contacted them. The scooters from Xichuan have already entered the Red River from Liupan and will arrive in Gu Yi City in two hours. We have already sent staff to the highway intersection to receive the scooters. After receiving the scooters, they will be sent to the parking lot of the second branch of the public transport company. We will also arrange for the food and lodging of the scooters. "Ruan Lei said.
Chen Weizheng and Ou Jie left 808. They knew that time was a little tight, so they returned to the villa and drove an electric scooter. They asked the security guard at the gate where they could find a lot of old batteries. The security guard told them that if they wanted one or two, they could find a scooter shop on any road. If they wanted more, there was a shop on Gexu Road that specialized in collecting batteries.
Chen Weizheng drove the scooter directly to Gexu Road and found the battery shop that the security guard had mentioned. This was completely an underground workshop. The old batteries were taken back, the labels were washed off, the exterior was cleaned, the words were repainted, the terminals were polished with fine sandpaper, the original battery solution was poured out, the water was dried, and a highly concentrated acid liquid was added. This way, the refurbished batteries could be used for a period of time. The bad batteries could last for two to three months, and the good ones could last for more than half a year. The price was cheap, only one-third of the price of the original.
Chen Weizheng saw that the old batteries were kept very well. He only needed to add the original battery fluid when he took them back. He asked the shop owner how much one battery was. The shop owner said that he would charge twenty yuan for one battery. Cleaning required manual labor and detergent. One battery cost thirty yuan. Chen Weizheng asked him to count how many of these models the shop had. He wanted all of them. The shop owner counted more than one hundred and sixty batteries. Chen Weizheng paid and loaded them into the scooter. This scooter from Western Qin had much more cargo space than the Passat. He then went to the scooter shop and bought fifty pairs of electric plugs and sockets, a roll of large DC copper wire, electrical tape, and packaging tape. He took them all to the villa of the Gu Yi City Hotel.
Back at the hotel, he and Ou Jie filled the batteries. They asked the hotel electrician to connect the batteries in pairs, soldered them to the sockets, and tied each set with packaging tape. They also connected two one-meter-long copper wires to the electric plugs as backup.
After more than an hour, the 160 batteries were filled and the 50 battery packs were ready. Chen Weizheng moved the 50 battery packs and other materials onto the scooter. Everything was ready. Chen Weizheng and Ou Jie drove the scooter to the highway intersection. Less than two minutes after the scooter stopped, a medium-sized trailer full of electric cars drove out from the toll booth. A young man from the government reception staff went up to greet them. Chen Weizheng also drove the scooter to the trailer. The young man asked the driver of the trailer to follow the scooter in front. He then walked to the front of the scooter, greeted Chen Weizheng, sat down, and led Chen Weizheng to the bus parking lot 300 meters ahead.
There was a space in the bus parking lot specifically for the 40 cars. Under the guidance of the bus company staff, the trailer came to a stop in the empty space. A few people walked out of the trailer. One of them walked up to Chen Weizheng and said, "I am Zhang Dingzhong, the technical manager of the Xichuan Electric Scooter Factory. This time, I am delivering ten sample cars to the Longshan Battery Plant. Who should I contact?"
Ou Jie walked up and said, "My name is Ou Jie, the general manager of Tian Che Energy. This is Chen Weizheng, the person in charge of Longshan Battery. This is Xiao Wang, the reception staff of Gu Yi City's municipal government. "
Manager Zhang Dingzhong said, "Now we have to find a way to unload the cars from the trailer. Usually, the cars have power, so it's easy to drive them down. Now that there's no power, we have to find someone to push them down."
Chen Weizheng said, "We brought power. Connect one car and drive it down." Manager Zhang Dingzhong looked at him in surprise.
Under Zhang Dingzhong's guidance, Chen Weizheng found the location of the Xichuan electric scooter's battery. The Xichuan electric scooter's battery box took up the entire bottom half of the rear compartment. A small spare tire was squeezed into the front compartment. This batch of cars did not have a battery, leaving behind a huge empty box that was one meter long, one meter wide, and thirty centimeters tall. On the front left side of the empty box were two * * power cables. Chen Weizheng took out a prepared plug with a cord and connected it to the car's power cable. He wrapped it with tape, took out a battery, and connected it to the plug. Chen Weizheng already knew about the Xichuan electric scooter. He had even used its charger before, so he knew that his battery would be a perfect match.
He opened the door, turned the key, and all the lights turned on. The driver of the trailer put down the ramp and drove the scooter down. They were delivering the cars, but they also had to load and unload them.
Zhang Dingzhong, Chen Weizheng, and the two drivers of the tow truck were all very capable people. Each of them finished loading the batteries of the two trucks. General Manager Ou Jie also finished loading one. The two drivers, one directing the other driving, soon had ten cars neatly parked in the parking lot. The bus drivers surrounded the scooter in groups of twos and threes, talking about it.
After unloading the cars, the driver of the trailer drove to Tan City without eating. There was a van waiting to take them back to Xichuan.
Because Nan Qiong's car was not far from the toll booth, Chen Weizheng and the others could not entertain Manager Zhang Dingzhong. They could only send him to the government-appointed guest house in the Jiashan District of Gu Yi City, opposite the bus company. They booked a business room, arranged accommodation, and agreed to have dinner together. Manager Zhang said that he could sleep in it.
Nan Qiong's car factory attached great importance to this event. The person delivering the car was the factory's technical deputy general manager, Liu Wei.
Chen Weizheng knew very little about Nan Qiong's car. However, Ou Jie said that he had seen a similar five-plus-two fuel car.
Deputy General Manager Liu was an expert. After the two sides understood each other, he believed that Nan Qiong's car could directly use Longshan battery after adding a power controller. He was prepared and brought a dozen power controllers. He borrowed the alternating current from the bus parking lot and fixed the power controllers with a soldering iron. This car's battery was the same as Western Qin's scooter. It was everywhere under the belly. Not only did the delivered cars not have a battery, but they also did not have a rack to hold the battery.
Chen Weizheng extended the wire of the power connector from the cockpit to the front of the cabin and connected it to the power cord. After connecting the battery, everything was normal.
Soon, the ten Nan Qiong scooters were neatly lined up in front of the Xichuan scooters.
The driver of the trailer was also busy lining up in Tan City. He disappeared in a flash.
The command center sent news that Western Qin's car factory had arrived.
Little Wang from the government sent Deputy General Manager Liu to the opposite side to rest. Chen Weizheng and Ou Jie went to the highway to pick up the car.
Seeing Chen Weizheng and Ou Jie coming to pick them up, the Western Qin's delivery man smiled happily. He stopped the car at the bus stop and found that it was an acquaintance. It was Mr. Mai from Nancheng City. The one who came with him was Deputy General Manager Xu of the Xiqin Automobile Factory. The first thing Mr. Mai said was to point at Chen Weizheng's car and asked, "Is our car OK?"
"It's pretty good!" Chen Weizheng said, "It's been driving for a while. It's famous. Yesterday, all the private cars in Gu Yi City followed it."
"This is even better. I specially designed a fixed place for your battery." He pulled Chen Weizheng over to open the hood of a car. There was a welded iron frame near the partition of the driver's seat. Chen Weizheng picked up a battery, and it was stuck on the iron frame. He tightened the wire, and it wouldn't budge. The best part was that the plug that Master Mag had prepared for the car was the same as the one that was used on electric bicycles. It was a perfect match for the one that Chen Weizheng had prepared. After installing the batteries and plugging in the plug, the driver drove the car off. It saved time and effort.
Only then did Mr. Qu finish his small talk with Mr. Xu. After introducing Chen Weizheng, they walked to the guest house across the street.
The command center said that the Jinling Car Factory's car hadn't entered the Red River yet. It was estimated that they would arrive in Gu Yi City at six tomorrow morning. Ou Jie looked at the time. It was already four in the afternoon. He told Mr. Xu and Mr. Mai to take a break. He would pick them up for dinner at half past five.
