Chen Jing's usual contact level is too high, and she has never been to the grassroots level many times before, so she doesn't know much about some trivial matters.
After listening to Ye Kai's explanation, I realized that I had taken it too much for granted, and couldn't help but sigh a little. I thought that it was better to run around at the grassroots level more often, so as to avoid this situation of being out of touch and making jokes all the time.
"That is to say, everyone actually knows that this is bad, and there are ways to stop it, but no one stands up. Even if someone uncovers this shady story, it will not be recognized by others?" Chen Jing asked.
"This is inevitable." Ye Kai nodded and replied, "Just talk about the situation in front of you. Although everyone may not be interested in it, they are still powerless in this industry where unspoken rules prevail. Not to mention them.
How powerful are the forces behind it? If you just want to change the practices formed by the entire industry, you will offend a large number of people."
"Those people will be offended?" Chen Jing asked curiously.
She knew very little about this kind of thing, so she was naturally very interested in it, so she pestered Ye Kai to reveal the information to her.
"There are several sources of funds for highway construction at present. One is full investment from the national finance, the other is loans and loan repayment is implemented with fees, and the third is funds invested by enterprises and enterprises are allowed to participate in shares." Ye Kai explained to Chen Jing.
"The Hedong Expressway construction project belongs to the third type, but the contractor is decided by the provincial government and is qualified for admission through public bidding."
"In other words, although the investors of the highway this time are companies, the entire construction project has little to do with the companies?" Chen Jing immediately understood the reason.
Since the provincial government is responsible for the construction project, after hearing about the three-billion-dollar contract, many contractors will naturally gather together like sharks smelling blood to get a piece of the pie.
There are many of these people, and it is impossible to win all the bids alone, so everyone can only make profits separately.
In this way, a circle of interests is formed in the highway construction project. Everyone wants to benefit from it, so the only way is to lower the standards during construction. For example, if you can use bad cement and steel, you can use bad ones instead of good ones.
Other investments can also be saved if possible.
"It's not a big problem to offend one company, but it's more of a headache to offend all the business circles." Ye Kai explained to Chen Jing, "After all, you have to build more than one road in your province, can you do other projects?
Wherever there is a project, there will be entanglements of interests. Everyone hopes to receive some benefits, so they cannot complete the task. But in this way, the industry will be ruined. Before accepting the bid, everyone must first
What I think about is not how to do this project well, but how to get this project, and use various shady means to achieve the goal. Over time, the construction quality of this kind of project can be imagined."
The reason why Ye Kai thought of this kind of thing was simply because he thought of the German underground sewer project in a certain place. It was still playing a role in the city's underground water project after nearly a hundred years, and even some accessories could still be replaced. Such a project
, it is basically difficult to see it in China at present.
The phenomenon of eagerness for quick success and instant gain has become more and more serious in China these days, and it is outrageous to do whatever it takes to make money.
The rain outside was getting lighter and heavier. Ye drove Chen Jing back to the provincial government guest house and escorted her into the building.
"It looks like we can't leave today..." Chen Jing looked at the weather and said.
"Yeah, I didn't expect such a heavy rain. This kind of situation is really rare in Hedong." Ye Kaixin thought that today's things were really a bit strange. First, a strong wind blew down the rostrum and almost knocked it down.
A child was killed, and then there was a heavy rain that had not been seen in several years. It seemed that it was not a good idea to postpone the foundation laying day to today.
Although there were heavy rains in Hedong Province in the past, they have become much less common in recent years.
Among other things, many of the rivers in Hedong Province have almost stopped flowing due to lack of rainwater and the construction of small hydropower stations to intercept them.
This sudden heavy rain seems to be another major test for flood control facilities in various places.
Thinking of this matter, Ye Kai became a little worried.
The last time he dealt with the mudslide incident in Dongshan City, he had a more serious understanding of the environment of Dongshan City. He knew that many villages here were built on the mountains. Some of them were naturally old and there were no problems. However,
Some were later built on dried-up river channels.
Because there is little flat land in mountainous areas, dry river channels are a good place to build residential buildings. However, these residential areas built on river channels face a problem. Once the river has water again, they will be the first to be washed away.
dangerous.
"Are you worried about the situation in Dongshan City?" Chen Jing asked when she saw Ye Kai calling with a solemn expression.
"Yeah, it's raining so heavily here, I'm worried that the same problem will happen over there in Dongshan." Ye Kai nodded and replied, "Last time I went to the grassroots to take a look, I found some safety hazards. Now,
We must pay attention to it, God knows how long this heavy rain will last."
Ye Kai's worries were indeed not unnecessary. After sending Chen Jing back to the provincial government guest house, Ye Kai called the provincial meteorological observatory to learn about the situation. The answer he got was that the entire Hedong Province would have major storms in the next three days.
A range of severe convective weather.
"This matter is causing trouble. It seems that we have to hurry up and return to Dongshan..." Ye Kai heard the news and immediately made a decision.
If you take the national highway when the heavy rain has just fallen, it won't be a big problem. However, you need to pay special attention when passing through mountainous areas. After all, heavy rain blocks the line of sight, and it is easy to cause accidents due to unclear vision.
For the sake of safety, Ye Kai took the first step and called the city's deputy secretary Li Wenhai, executive deputy mayor Song Linsheng and others, saying that the recent floods were serious and asked them to get started first. Municipal and county governments at all levels need to attach great importance to it.
Safety accidents caused by inadequate flood control must not occur.
Although Li Wenhai, Song Linsheng and others agreed very well, Ye Kai was always uneasy in his heart. How much courage do you have to have to expect these old bureaucrats to do things.
After thinking about it, he called the deputy mayor, police chief Deng Jinyou, and organization director Lin Jiwen to ask them to pay attention to the developments in the city. He also said that this time the flood prevention work was very important and asked them to pay more attention.
Then he called Zhang Chong, Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee and Wang Shankui, Secretary-General of the Government, asking them to supervise the flood prevention work of various departments, and said that he would be back soon to let them make preliminary preparations.
Finally, Ye Kai called the military division commander Guo Quanyi to report the recent flood situation and expressed that he would need them to support some disaster relief supplies if necessary.
Due to other considerations, the army cannot move without authorization, but it is okay to support some disaster relief materials, such as extra tents and military supplies. There is no problem with this, so Guo Quanyi agreed immediately.
After finishing these things, Ye Kaicai took his secretary Tang Mu, Li Hai and others and drove to Dongshan City.
Before leaving Dragon City, Ye Kai and others saw the huge power of this heavy rain in the city. Some low-lying areas on the road were already filled with rainwater, and the depth could be up to the knees.
Under some overpasses, because the drainage capacity of sewers is designed to be small, accumulated water can even float vehicles.
At this time, the flood control department urgently dispatched flood drainage vehicles and used water pumps to drain the flood.
There are not many passers-by on the street. Most of them are office workers wearing ponchos and umbrellas, and there are also people riding bicycles. However, because the road surface is basically covered by rain, the road conditions are unclear. On many sections of the road, bicycles
Half of the wheels were submerged, making it very difficult to walk. Passersby would fall down from time to time.
There were children on the roadside who took the big washing tub from home and put it in the water to play with as a boat.
"Second Young Master, that seems to be Mayor Mu's car..." Li Hai suddenly said.
Ye Kai turned his head and looked over, and sure enough he saw the No. 1 bus of the Longcheng City Government. When he looked again, he saw dozens of people over there, and it was Mu Wanrong wearing a military green poncho.
At this time, Mu Wanrong was wearing a poncho and holding a folding umbrella. She was listening to a report from the person in charge of the flood control department, about how to eliminate urban waterlogging. There was also a reporter from the city TV station next to her.
The camera follows and shoots all the way.
Gan Jing put the car at full speed and waited for Ye Kai's instructions.
"Let's go, we are probably in a hurry over there..." Ye Kai glanced at Mu Wanrong, and then said to Gan Jing.
The car picked up speed, splashing water all the way.
It took more than ten hours along the way before we returned to Dongshan.
No landslides or mudslides were found along the way. This was also due to the fact that after the last incident, Ye Kai asked all departments to conduct danger inspections in dangerous areas within their jurisdiction and eliminate serious hidden dangers as much as possible.
.
It seems now that the decision made at that time was very far-sighted, at least this time it is much easier.
It was just that the energy consumption along the way was serious. After everyone returned to Dongshan, it was already night, so Ye Kai told everyone to go and rest first. If anything happened, we would talk about it early tomorrow morning.
But in the early morning, Ye Kai's phone rang urgently.
"Hello, this is Ye Kai." Ye Kai grabbed the phone in a daze and said subconsciously.
"Mayor Ye, it's not good!" The voice on the phone was urgent, "Over there in Xuling County, some houses have been washed away!"
"What?!" Ye Kai suddenly lost all sleepiness after hearing this. (To be continued)
