Abe is a post-90s returnee from Macao. Three years ago, she quit her job in Macao, and returned to Tangkou, Kaiping, Jiangmen, to open a coffee shop. To her surprise, Tangkou didn't just welcome her back, it "empowers" her business.
In Tangkou, there are more and more entrepreneurs like Abe. In the past three years, over 2,000 people have come here for employment. But do you know? For these small shops, homestays, and research-study workshops to operate smoothly, a stable power supply is the key.
Xie Wogen is one of the earliest homestay entrepreneurs in Tangkou. He said that in the past, the most troublesome thing was electricity. The power lines were aging, and the application for power connection was slow. He was always worried about power outages during the tourist peak season.
But now? He is enjoying the services of the exclusive WeChat service group provided by the power supply bureau. He submitted the capacity-increase application online, and it was processed in just two days by the power supply bureau.
What makes business starters [actually entrepreneurs] feel more at ease is the "intelligent monitoring". China Southern Power Grid (CSG) has installed nests for inspection-dedicated unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in Tangkou. The hidden dangers of power lines can be automatically identified by AI, and early warnings can be delivered within seconds. As the power supply workers put it, in the past, inspecting the wires relied on patrolling on foot. But now, they can prevent problems by just looking at the screen.
Once, young people left Tangkou for a living. Now, they're coming back with their dreams. Those restored watchtowers, coffee-scented markets, and lit-up homestays all whisper the same truth:
Where there's power, there's life. Where there's life, there's hope. This is Jiangmen's "power code". It's not rocket science, but CSG's commitment—making lights stay on, making dreams stay bright.
