Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Chapter 672

With his delicate mind and gentle actions, He Yuzhu successfully made his sisters Qin Huairu and Ruan Tao fall in love with him, and they fell deeply in love with him and couldn't extricate themselves.

After days of intensive investigation and repeated research, Ho Yu-chu, like a persistent treasure hunter, tirelessly explored every inch of land surrounding the Tsuen Wan Industrial Building. Braving the scorching sun, he crisscrossed the streets and alleys, meticulously examining every corner and leaving no room for any potential opportunity. Finally, he found the ideal piece of land next door to the Tsuen Wan Industrial Building.

This land boasts a unique geographical location, situated adjacent to a main arterial road. The wide, flat road allows large trucks to navigate unimpeded, greatly facilitating the transportation and distribution of goods. Surrounding supporting facilities are also being systematically developed, with stable water and electricity supplies ensuring that daily production and office life are not impacted by water or electricity issues. Comprehensive telecommunications coverage meets the high-speed information flow demands of modern businesses. Simultaneously, a variety of amenities are being added, from convenience stores and restaurants to bank branches and express delivery stations, providing significant convenience for those working in the area.

He Yuzhu knew this was the perfect location for a new industrial building, a precious gift from heaven. Without hesitation, he decisively purchased the land. After acquiring the land, he immediately began preparing for the building's construction. He began searching for an experienced and reputable professional construction team. He researched extensively, visited numerous construction industry exhibitions, and spoke with numerous industry insiders, all to find the perfect fit. After securing the team, he meticulously planned the building's interior layout, meticulously considering every room's functional division, whether it was a production workshop, warehouse, or office area. He personally considered every aisle's routing, ensuring both convenient personnel access and efficient cargo transportation. He personally oversaw every detail, meticulously considering every detail, striving for perfection and creating an efficient and convenient industrial building that met the needs of modern industry.

Meanwhile, He Yuzhu's investment in Shatin reached a critical juncture. His long-planned plan achieved significant progress, successfully acquiring a plot of land with great residential potential at an official auction. The atmosphere on auction day was incredibly lively, with buyers from all over the country gathering with their hopes and ambitions for the land. As the bidding process began, numerous buyers rushed to bid, the price skyrocketing, each increase a heartbeat faster. He Yuzhu, his gaze fixed firmly on the auctioneer's hammer, emerged victorious after several rounds of intense competition, relying on his accurate market judgment and unwavering determination to secure the land.

This piece of land is located in the core area of ​​Sha Tin's future planning. It is not difficult to see from the city planning blueprint that the surrounding education, medical, commercial and other supporting facilities are extremely well planned.

In terms of educational resources, many high-quality schools will be built here in the future, ranging from kindergartens for the enlightenment stage to primary and secondary schools that provide comprehensive education for young people, providing solid guarantees for the growth and development of children.

A large comprehensive hospital has also been included in the planning and construction schedule. Advanced medical equipment and professional medical teams will provide all-round protection for the health of residents.

The commercial center is uniquely planned. It not only has a high-end shopping center that brings together various first-line brands, but also a commercial street full of fireworks and characteristics, covering a variety of business formats such as catering, entertainment, and leisure, to meet the residents' all-round and multi-level consumption needs.

He Yuzhu stood alone on the land he had just photographed. Although the scene before him was barren with loess and weeds intertwined, there was a gleam in his eyes and he had already pictured a prosperous future in his mind.

In his imagination, soon this place will be full of tall buildings, modern architecture arranged in an orderly manner, and glass curtain walls will sparkle in the sun; the wide roads will be bustling with traffic, with all kinds of vehicles flowing continuously; the streets will be crowded with people coming and going, full of the breath and vitality of life.

He is full of confidence in the future development of this land. He firmly believes that with his own business operations and market trends, it will bring rich and considerable profits in the near future, becoming a shining pearl in his ever-expanding business territory and further consolidating his position in the business world.

However, just as He Yuzhu was secretly delighted with the smooth progress of the two projects, constantly imagining the beautiful blueprint of their successful completion and looking forward to a bright future, a new and thorny problem suddenly stood in his way, like a towering, solid wall reaching into the sky. During those days, He Yuzhu shuttled between various departments, engaging in round after round of difficult negotiations with relevant personnel from China Light and Power Company.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was often tense, with both sides arguing endlessly and holding their own opinions.

But even though he tried his best to persuade and put forward many reasonable plans, China Light and Power Company finally rejected his request to increase power supply after several days of consideration.

The news was like a bolt from the blue, hitting He Yuzhu without any warning.

In an instant, his mind went blank, and he seemed to be under a spell of immobilization. He stood there in a daze, his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move at all.

The reasons given by China Light and Power Company may seem simple and straightforward at first glance, but upon closer inspection, they make people feel helpless.

It turns out that the company's headquarters is located in the bustling Kowloon. After generating electricity, it needs to use long and winding lines to transport the electricity over a long distance to Tuen Mun.

The line connecting the two places has gone through years of wind and rain and has become severely aged due to the erosion of wind and sun.

The mottled rust and damaged surface on the line all tell of the vicissitudes of time.

During the transmission process, a large amount of electricity is silently lost and wasted like sand in an hourglass.

Increasing electricity supply means completely replacing these old lines.

From the electric poles standing on the roadside to the cables laid underground and in the air, from the core transformers to various tiny accessories, every part needs to be replanned and replaced.

Not only is the project massive in scale, but the construction process also faces challenges such as complex geographical environment and dense urban layout, making it extremely difficult to construct, and the cost is staggeringly high, requiring a huge amount of money that is daunting.

Prior to this, the Tuen Mun area had always maintained a predominantly rural appearance with a very simple economic structure. It had long been almost entirely dependent on agricultural production, lacked an industrial base, and not many large factories had settled there.

Residents' daily electricity consumption is also at a relatively low level. Their daily needs are nothing more than lighting and the use of basic household appliances such as televisions and refrigerators, which consume relatively little electricity.

Therefore, the total amount of electricity supplied to Tuen Mun has remained at a low level for a long time, and the design and configuration of the existing power supply lines can only meet such low demand conditions.

Today, with the rapid development of industry and the advancement of urbanization, a large number of people continue to pour into Tuen Mun.

In terms of industry, various factories have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, bringing economic vitality to Tuen Mun while also greatly increasing the demand for electricity.

At the same time, the number of residents has increased significantly, and the demand for household electricity has also increased accordingly.

Under the influence of these two factors, the electricity demand in Tuen Mun has shown a blowout growth trend.

The existing power supply lines are far from meeting the growing demand due to their low construction standards and limited carrying capacity.

Voltage instability often occurs, flickering lights, abnormal operation of electrical appliances have become the norm, and even frequent power outages have brought many inconveniences to residents' daily lives. It has also seriously affected the normal production of factories, leading to production stagnation, order delays and other problems.

However, if He Yuzhu really wants to build a machinery factory, a vehicle factory and a chemical plant in the future plan here, the situation will become more serious.

These factories are all high-energy-consuming industries. Machinery factories operate a large number of large-scale mechanical equipment, vehicle factories require a variety of high-power equipment in the production process, and chemical plants consume a large amount of electricity for chemical reactions and equipment operation throughout the day.

Their overall electricity demand will far exceed the limits of what current lines can carry.

This means that the entire power supply line from the power plant to Tuen Mun must be fully upgraded and renovated.

The renovation project covers many aspects. First, it is necessary to replace the lines with thicker ones with better conductivity to withstand larger currents; second, it is necessary to upgrade the substations along the line to improve the transformation capacity and conversion efficiency; and it is also necessary to optimize the power distribution system to ensure that electricity can be reasonably and efficiently transmitted to each power terminal.

Huge amounts of money are required to invest in each link to meet such huge and complex electricity demands.

Unfortunately, China Light and Power Company does not seem willing to bear this huge cost.

From a business perspective, from the perspective of business operations and economic benefits, they prefer to invest resources in projects with more obvious returns and lower risks.

For projects like the Tuen Mun power supply line upgrade, which requires large investments, has a long payback period and involves certain risks, the government appears to be more cautious and conservative.

When hearing Alex Fong's report, a hint of surprise and astonishment flashed across He Yuzhu's face.

At home, if there is a power shortage, he only needs to compile detailed data and situation reports and submit them to the higher authorities quickly.

The higher authorities have always been resolute and efficient. After receiving the information, they will immediately organize relevant personnel, coordinate resources from all parties in all aspects, and call together power experts, construction teams, material suppliers, etc. to discuss and formulate comprehensive solutions.

They will race against time and devote themselves to ensuring stable and safe power supply, striving to restore normal power supply in the shortest possible time, ensuring that the company's production operations are not affected in the slightest, the production line can run smoothly, and orders are delivered on time.

However, now in Hong Kong, a prosperous but different land, the situation is quite different.

Hong Kong's electricity supply operates entirely in accordance with market rules, with commercial interests being the top priority throughout.

Once an enterprise faces problems such as aging power lines and insufficient power supply, it cannot rely on superiors to coordinate solutions as it does in China, and can only pay out of its own pocket to update the lines.

What is even more shocking is that the requirements put forward by China Light and Power Company are extremely harsh.

They clearly stated in black and white that the ownership of the circuit that He Yuzhu had invested huge sums of money to update should eventually belong to the power company.

This means that He Yuzhu has to spend a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to bear all the costs of updating the circuits, from purchasing expensive cables, transformers and other equipment to hiring professional construction teams for laying and installation. Every expense is not cheap.

But in the end, he had no rights or interests in the assets he had worked so hard to obtain. It was like working hard to build a magnificent house, only to give it away to others. It was really hard to accept.

"Is it true that the electricity problem cannot be properly resolved?" He Yuzhu sat alone in the office, his brows furrowed into a deep "川" shape, his eyes full of worry, and he fell into deep thought.

In the machinery factory, the power of each large-scale mechanical processing equipment cannot be underestimated, and the automated production line of the vehicle factory is like a giant beast with a wide-open mouth, continuously consuming a large amount of electricity.

They are all veritable big electricity consumers. Once they lose sufficient and stable power supply, those expensive and technologically advanced equipment will instantly become a pile of useless scrap metal and will not be able to operate normally.

On the production line, the machines that were originally running at high speed and making rhythmic roars will suddenly stop, and the robotic arms will be frozen in mid-air, no longer able to flexibly grab and assemble parts.

The assembly process will also be forced to be interrupted, and semi-finished products will pile up on the production line. Workers can only stop their work helplessly and stand by at a loss.

This is undoubtedly a fatal blow to production.

Order delivery will be delayed, and customers will be eagerly waiting for the goods but will not receive them for a long time, so dissatisfaction will naturally arise.

If this continues, a large number of customers are likely to be lost and the company's market share will shrink.

Not only that, order delays may also trigger breach of contract clauses in the contract, and companies will have to pay huge penalties.

Once your reputation is damaged, it will become extremely difficult to regain your customers' trust and cooperation in a highly competitive market environment.

These chain reactions, like dominoes, bring huge losses to the company and may even endanger the company's survival and development, destroying years of hard work.

At present, it seems that He Yuzhu has only two choices.

One of them is to reluctantly spend a large sum of money to update the electrical wires.

Purchasing high-quality cables is not an easy task. There are numerous brands and specifications on the market, and it takes a lot of time and effort to identify and screen them.

Not only should you carefully compare the product parameters of each brand, but you should also check their quality inspection reports to ensure that the cables are of high quality and can strictly comply with industrial electricity standards to ensure the stability and safety of power transmission.
