Chapter 1331 The Entire Building Lost Power
Dingsheng Group, Office.
Zhu Yaojun, Su Hongzhen, and Su Mingkun sat in a clean, bright, and luxuriously decorated office, sipping tea and chatting with smiles on their faces.
"President Zhu, your move is truly brilliant!"
Su Mingkun gave Zhu Yaojun a thumbs-up.
The offices of the Vermilion Bird lineage having no electricity meant that all electrical equipment could not be used, effectively paralyzing the entire Cloud Top Group. He believed that within three days, the Cloud Top Group would obediently leave.
"President Su is too kind. I merely employed a small stratagem; it's nothing."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yaojun chuckled, his face filled with enjoyment.
"President Zhu is too modest. How did I not think of such a brilliant method? I, Su Mingkun, would like to offer this tea in place of wine to President Zhu."
Saying this, Su Mingkun raised his wine glass and was about to toast Zhu Yaojun.
But just then, a knock sounded from outside.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Su Mingkun was displeased. Who dared to disturb his good mood at this time?
He still spoke, "Come in!"
Soon, an employee of Dingsheng Group entered with a look of urgency. "President Su, something big has happened!"
"What big thing has happened? How unlucky!"
"Uh... but something has really happened."
"What exactly happened?"
"President Su, our Dingsheng Group has lost power, and everyone cannot work."
Hearing this, Su Mingkun was immediately dismissive and said with a chuckle, "It's just a power outage, what's the fuss? Something must be broken. Isn't President Zhu here? With a word from President Zhu, would those electricians dare not fix it?"
"Hurry up and contact the electricians for repairs. Why are you still standing here?"
"I'm going, I'm going."
The employee from Dingsheng Group turned and left, preparing to have the electricians begin repairs.
"It's just a small matter. I'll just call the maintenance department."
Zhu Yaojun was quite accommodating, saying with a smile.
"Then I'll trouble President Zhu."
Su Mingkun felt it was quite prestigious.
Zhu Yaojun took out his phone and was about to make a call when it suddenly rang.
The call was from the CEO of Fuqiang Industrial, who resided on the fourth floor.
Fuqiang Industrial was involved in various manufacturing industries and had assets exceeding one billion yuan, making it a leader in the manufacturing sector.
"Director Guo, what brings you to call me? Is there something?" Zhu Yaojun answered the phone.
"President Zhu, am I that late in paying half a month's rent that you have to cut the power to Fuqiang Industrial? We've known each other for a long time, and I've lived in Vermilion Bird Tower for five or six years. I'm just experiencing a temporary cash flow issue. Do you have to do something so disgusting to me?"
A man's complaining voice came from the phone.
"What do you mean Fuqiang Industrial also lost power?"
"Yes, we lost power. Wasn't it President Zhu who had someone do this?"
"Of course not. You and my father are old friends. My father told me that you were a month or two late on rent, and I agreed. How could I have someone cut the power?"
"Then something might be broken. Hurry up and get someone to fix it. My computer can't be used either, and I can't communicate with clients quickly."
*Slap!*
The call was hung up.
Now, it was Zhu Yaojun's turn to be bewildered. Why had Fuqiang Industrial also lost power?
"What's wrong, President Zhu?"
Su Mingkun asked.
"Fuqiang Industrial lost power."
"Losing power is not a big deal, it just needs to be fixed."
Initially, Zhu Yaojun didn't take it seriously. However, with Dingsheng Group losing power and Fuqiang Industrial also losing power, things were becoming unusual.
It was known that Vermilion Bird Tower was a top office building in Kyoto, with annual maintenance costs reaching millions. All the switch components used were top-of-the-line imported goods with excellent quality. Normally, there wouldn't be a single power outage in a year.
How could there be two occurrences in succession?
An illusion!
It must be an illusion!
But just then, his phone rang again. It was a call from Zhao Fengshou, the chairman of Fengshou Group!
"Uncle Zhao, what do you need me for?"
Zhao Fengshou was a classmate of the Zhu family patriarch and had a very good relationship with him. Zhu Yaojun dared not offend him lightly.
"President Zhu, what are you doing? Our Fengshou Group has lost power. Fix it for me immediately. I have an important document to send abroad. If it can't be sent, I will lose several hundred million!"
"Several hundred million is one thing, but more importantly, it will offend my clients in the United States!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll rush to send someone to fix it!"
Before Zhu Yaojun could finish speaking, the other side hung up. This time, Zhu Yaojun finally realized the seriousness of the situation.
Following that, one call after another came in. Zhu Yaojun didn't answer but called the management department of Vermilion Bird Tower. Upon learning the situation, Zhu Yaojun almost fainted.
It turned out that the entire Vermilion Bird Tower had lost power!
Vermilion Bird Tower was a renowned top office building in Kyoto. Only highly capable large companies and groups could lease space there, and some wealthy individuals with good relationships with the Zhu family were also among the tenants.
Electricity was crucial even for an ordinary person. A day without electricity meant no charging for phones, no watching TV, no using computers, no using induction cookers. It was like losing half a life, making one listless. This was even more so for an enterprise.
It could be said that without electricity, an enterprise was paralyzed!
"Hurry up and find a way to fix it! I'll give you fifteen minutes. If you can't fix it, I'll take your lives!"
Zhu Yaojun roared into the phone.
"Yes, yes, yes... President Zhu, I've already arranged for someone to begin repairs."
Zhu Yaojun hung up the phone and impatiently stood up.
He glanced at Su Mingkun and Su Hongzhen, indicating that he had to leave to check on the situation. Su Mingkun was quite proactive, expressing his desire to go with Zhu Yaojun to see what was happening.
Thus, Zhu Yaojun took Su Mingkun to the power distribution room.
On the way, Su Mingkun learned that the entire building had lost power and was almost stunned. He muttered to himself, no wonder Zhu Yaojun was so serious; such a major incident had occurred.
Soon, they arrived at the power distribution room. Four electricians were inspecting, sweating profusely.
"Greetings, President Zhu!"
The four electricians quickly greeted him. Only Wang San's eyes flashed with a hint of strangeness.
He felt as if he could barely breathe.
He also knew the gravity of the situation and hadn't expected even Zhu Yaojun to be alarmed.
"How is the inspection going?"
"St... still haven't found the problem..."
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and inspect it for me! I tell you, if you find the problem today, I will reward each of you with ten thousand!"
Upon hearing this, the three electricians, excluding Wang San, were filled with excitement. Ten thousand yuan was almost two months' salary.
Suddenly, everyone's spirits were boosted!
However, Zhu Yaojun's next words poured cold water on everyone.
"If you can't find the problem, I'll take your lives!"
The electricians' hands and feet turned cold. They never expected the electrician profession to be so dangerous, where failing to find a problem could cost them their lives.
