NABC Chapter 84 Power Outage
Chapter 84 Power Outage
After the first new product launch at the Peace Hotel, Wang Xiao was about to leave the stage when Qin Huai'an quickly stepped forward and stopped him.
"Boss Wang, wait a moment."
Seeing Qin Huai'an walk onto the stage, Wang Xiao gestured for the others in the hotel to continue with their tasks, then smiled and asked, "Mr. Qin, is there anything else?"
Qin Huai'an said, "I won't stand on ceremony with you, Boss Wang. The reason I'm here is actually about this new product launch."
"I wonder if Boss Wang could spare a bottle or two of Night Abyss Dream for our Qin Group, considering we're business partners."
Wang Xiao asked doubtfully, "President Qin, among all the survivor teams, big and small, around the hotel, there shouldn't be one more powerful than the Qin Group."
"Perhaps there will be people scrambling to buy it on the first day of the new product launch, but after that, no one should have the purchasing power of your Qin Group, right?"
As the hotel's sole partner, the Qin Group has attracted a large number of survivors to join simply by virtue of its name.
The team has now at least doubled in size and has long since recovered.
Qin Huai'an replied, "That's how it is now, but as Boss Wang said, Jincheng is so big, who can guarantee that a team of survivors even larger than the Qin Group won't emerge in the future?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiao immediately understood Qin Huai'an's concerns.
This is because they fear that if they find new partners in the future, the interests of the Qin Group will be harmed, and they want to maintain the relationship between the two parties in this way.
To put it simply, Qin Huai'an didn't want just one or two bottles of "Night Abyss Dream," he wanted the Peace Hotel's attitude.
After all, the Qin Group has always used the fact that it is the only partner of the Peace Hotel to recruit people.
As a partner of the hotel, there must be something different about us to prove our relationship.
Wang Xiao thought for a moment and replied, "I think I understand what you mean, President Qin. How about we allocate three additional slots for Night Abyss Dream to the Qin Group? That's the limit we can currently free up."
With Wang Xiao's answer, Qin Huai'an smiled with satisfaction and nodded, saying, "Then thank you very much, Boss Wang. By the way, we recently collected two zombie crystals. I'll have someone deliver them to you tonight."
"Thank you very much."
By sharing three cups of Night Abyss Dream, the connection between the two parties is strengthened, which is not a bad thing for Wang Xiao or the hotel.
Cooperation is only true cooperation if it is mutually beneficial. In this world where tomorrow is unpredictable, cooperation without mutual benefit will not last long.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Qin Huai'an, Wang Xiao returned to the third floor.
Upon returning to his room, Wang Xiao immediately lay down on the bed, and a system notification appeared.
[For the hotel's development, you hosted the hotel's first new product launch, opening an important chapter in the hotel's glorious history, and have earned +50 hotel support points.]
[Current progress of the quest 'The Beginning of Development': 1/5.]
[The mission "A Small Goal" has made significant progress, and the overall evaluation has improved. Please continue your efforts for the perfect development of the hotel.]
The continuous pop-up system notifications greatly relieved Wang Xiao's previously somewhat weary state of mind.
However, just as Wang Xiao was taking the elevator downstairs, the elevator suddenly stopped working.
The bright lights inside the elevator dimmed instantly, leaving only a very faint glow.
Fortunately, the hotel elevator had an emergency system, so Wang Xiao was not trapped inside.
As the elevator doors opened, the entire hotel corridor was plunged into darkness.
Looking at the emergency exit signs lit up in the corridor, Wang Xiao slowly walked into the lobby.
Inside the lobby.
Wei Yan, as the hotel's acting manager, was calming the guests down while having Xue Wu and others take out the candles that had been prepared and light them. Thanks to the joint efforts of the hotel staff, the hotel did not fall into chaos due to the power outage.
Feng Wan, who was the first to notice Wang Xiao, said to everyone, "Everyone, our boss is here."
Wei Yan quickly went to Wang Xiao's side and reported the situation: "Boss, we are following the previous plan to prevent power outages and reassure the hotel's customers, but some customers are still quite agitated. What do you think..."
Wang Xiao said, "I'll do it."
"Yes."
With that, Wang Xiao led Wei Yan to the front of the group.
Wang Xiao said, "Everyone, please be patient. Our hotel has prepared some small backup power supplies for temporary charging for all of you in advance."
If you need charging services, you can come to the front desk and ask Ms. Zhao Yajun for assistance. Rest assured, this service is completely free.
Regarding the power outage issue, we will resolve it soon to ensure you receive the best possible hotel service.
Upon learning that there was a solution to the power outage, the previously noisy crowd gradually quieted down.
Wan Menghuai, who had come to the lobby to inquire about the cause of the power outage, spoke up on behalf of everyone to express their gratitude after hearing Wang Xiao's statement: "Then we'll have to trouble Boss Wang."
Wang Xiao nodded and said, "This is what we should do."
Perhaps because Wang Xiao intervened, the riot at the hotel was completely quelled in just over ten minutes.
In the apocalypse, without the internet, the demand for electricity is far less than imagined.
Humans, who have become accustomed to the light, are now returning to the dark ages, and everything is still difficult for them to adapt to.
Fortunately, the hotel had already made a series of preparations for this.
Not only did they issue a commission in advance to collect fuel for power generation, but they are also assembling a generator dismantled from the Yinghua Hotel. Once the wiring and other work are completed in the near future, the problem can be temporarily solved.
After calming the guests down, Wang Xiao inquired about the search for Wei Yan's generator.
When asked about this, Wei Yan quickly took out his notebook, flipped through a few pages, adjusted his glasses, and said, "Boss, we issued the generator-related commission as you requested two days ago."
The electrician who previously participated in the removal of the generator at the Yinghua Hotel had information about this.
He told us that the power maintenance unit in Chenghua District had a high probability of finding power generation equipment that would satisfy our hotel.
Wang Xiao asked, "Have you sent someone to confirm?"
Wei Yan replied, "Not yet. Because the power maintenance units in Chenghua District are located relatively close to the city center, no survivors are willing to take on this task."
Wang Xiao was somewhat prepared for this.
After thinking for a while, Wang Xiao said, "Notify Xiong Sanzhuang to take the search team out tomorrow morning."
Wei Yan nodded and said, "Yes."
After confirming the candidates, Wang Xiao handed over the list of security personnel he had prepared to Wei Yan.
Wang Xiao said, "Notify them to report to the hotel at 8:00 AM tomorrow."
Wei Yan flipped through the list and saw a few familiar names. He nodded and said, "No problem, boss."
