The matter temporarily ended with the tribe giving in.
However, there are still many problems to be solved next.
More than a hundred people were fired at once, widening the gap in workers on the construction site.
A lot of work had to stop.
Thousands of local Berbers were employed throughout the construction site.
It includes almost all the young and strong labor force of nearby tribes.
This is why Yu Qingyang dared to be so tough and fire the troublemakers.
Most Berbers are very obedient.
Although they criticized the construction site for increasing their workload, they all silently accepted the construction site's decision in view of the increased wages.
The afternoon was originally the time for the regular meeting of the construction site, but because of this incident, Yu Qingyang also attended the meeting.
"There are two ways to solve the shortage of people now, continue to hire people for the time being!
If there are none nearby, go to Butita City to hire people.
The second is to continue to adjust the division of labor!
Continue to tap the potential of workers!" Miley Yaozeng expressed his opinion in the conference room.
"I think it's better to go to Butitanic City to hire people!" Zhao Xinlei thought for a while and said.
“We cannot relax in tapping the potential of workers, but we must have a gradual and gradual process!
The Berbers are used to being comfortable, and if they suddenly increase their workload too much, it will cause a backlash.
We suppressed today’s rebound!
But if we increase the workload, I'm afraid it will trigger a backlash from more people!
Maybe they don't dare to make trouble, but if it causes a large number of resignations.
We are also very passive.
Therefore, let them stabilize for a while and let them adapt!
Wait for their children to go to school and put on clean clothes.
When they have higher demands on life, we will adjust their workload and increase their wages!
At that time, even if they are unhappy, they will continue to endure it!" Zhao Xinlei added.
"Mr. Zhao is right, we should use the method of boiling frogs in warm water with them!" the director of the Labor Department said with a smile.
"Boiling a frog in warm water is a fallacy. If you don't believe me, try it. Put the frog in the water and slowly heat it. When the water temperature reaches a certain level and the frog feels uncomfortable, see if it will jump out!" Yu Qingyang added with a smile.
: "However, what Mr. Zhao just said is right. What we need to do for these black workers is to guide them!
Tapping their potential does not mean exploiting them!
When the workload increases, the reward will also increase!
Let them understand that working more means making more money, and making more money can change their destiny!
This is very critical!
Our company will have many projects in Africa in the future, so it is very important to cultivate a capable construction team!"
After Yu Qingyang expressed his opinion, the matter regarding the workers was settled.
In two steps, go to Butita City to hire new workers and tap the potential of existing workers.
Next comes the daily work meeting.
Yu Qingyang did not continue to express his opinions and sat there listening to them.
“In Villa No. 16, the problem of cracks in the wall has never been solved!
In Villa No. 22, the concrete slab wall in the basement has expanded formwork, which is a disguised wall problem!
The waterproof overlap width of the basement foundation of Villa No. 25 did not meet the specification requirements!" Zhao Hui, who is in charge of quality and safety, reported the quality and safety problems existing at the construction site.
"Director Ge, your construction department should summarize these issues raised by the quality inspection department!
We are all experienced experts in engineering, why do we still make these stupid mistakes!
Will a basement wall of more than 100 square meters experience mold expansion?
What is the reason?
Is it because the workers' skills are not good enough, or is it a problem with the materials? Or is it because they don't pay enough attention to it ideologically?
Your technical department must also follow up and check it from a technical level!" Cheng Yaozeng said seriously.
"Mr. Cheng, we have rectified the problem that Director Zhao mentioned just now!
Mainly because the newly recruited African workers are not yet skilled, coupled with the negligence of our construction workers and foremen, these relatively low-level mistakes occurred!
In the next step, we will definitely impose strict requirements to prevent similar problems from occurring." Ge Liang stood up and admitted his mistake.
These problems are caused by internal leaks, and other problems are indeed not major problems. The key lies in management carelessness.
Internal seams are a matter of the skill level of the master.
It is said that those who can come to Africa are master bricklayers with excellent skills.
But the problem is that there are too few masters coming to Africa and not enough, so we can only train them from workers here in Africa.
The brick walls that have problems are the work of African workers.
"In addition, from Villa No. 34 to Villa No. 49, the newly excavated foundations were not protected and were not graded according to the specifications!" Zhao Hui went on to report the safety issues existing on the construction site.
"Old Zhao, isn't this a bit of a fuss?
You also know the soil quality here, it is all red loam, the geology is stable, and there is no need for sloping!" Ge Liang couldn't help but retort.
"According to regulations, foundation pits with more than three sides must be graded, and a fence must be erected at the top of the foundation pit..."
"Old Zhao, I know everything you said!
Norms are dead, people are alive!
Is it necessary to build a foundation pit with a total of three meters and two meters on such a hill?" Ge Liang said somewhat unhappily.
"Lao Ge, it's not my fault. The foundation pit is more than three meters long. What if someone falls in?"
"You can see clearly during the day. Who would go for a walk there at night?"
"Ahem!" Yu Qingyang coughed twice to interrupt the argument between the two.
"Director Ge, first of all, your attitude is wrong!
Don’t bring out those bad habits you had in the country!
The geology is stable and collapse will not occur. What scientific basis do you have?
Based on your experience alone, you can conclude that collapse will not occur?
What guarantee do you have that it won't collapse?
What guarantee do you have?
Can you take responsibility in the event of a collapse?
In the event of an accident involving casualties, how much money can be exchanged for a life?
According to the contract we signed, it seems not expensive, only 200,000 yuan per piece.
However, Director Ge, if an accident does occur, and it is caused by your carelessness and your so-called experience, won't your conscience hurt?
Do you have nightmares at night?"
Zhao Hui told him that he could still refute a few words. Facing Yu Qingyang's scolding, Ge Liang couldn't even raise his head.
Before 2000, safety management on domestic construction sites was very bold and rough.
Many safety regulations in later generations can be said to have been built with human lives.
In 2000, there were many foundation pits with a depth of three meters without slopes or guardrails in China.
For example, regarding the safe use of electricity, in 2000, there were no professional electricians. Anyone who knew a little bit about electricity could become an electrician.
Pulling and pulling wires and the like is commonplace.
Almost everyone doesn't take it seriously.
Does the country have relevant regulations?
have!
But, in order to save trouble and save money, I didn’t pay attention to this.
The higher-level authorities were not strict in their investigation, they simply muddled around and got away with it.
"Director Ge, and everyone who is working on it!
The company does not need you to save money for the company in terms of safety and quality!
I don’t want to tell you any big truths!
In China, we all hang some slogans saying come to work happily and go home safely.
Those master workers, as well as our employees, traveled thousands of miles to come here!
If a few people really died, would you be able to sleep at night?
I can’t sleep anyway!
My conscience will hurt!"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yu, I was wrong! I'm going to review it!" Ge Liang stood up, lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
"Of course you are wrong!
Just imagine, if a collapse occurs, you, Ge Liang, are standing underneath!
What will be the consequences?
Might die!
But if you die, will everything be over?
Your parents may not have anyone to support them in old age! Your wife may take your money and your house to remarry! Your children may have someone else’s surname!
If you die, can you rest in peace?"
"Hahaha!"
"hehe!"
Yu Qingyang's words made everyone laugh.
"You don't have to laugh, it would be the same for you guys!
Let me say it again, if you don’t want to, others will sleep with your wife, spend your money, live in your house, and beat your children!
Please, everyone, put safety first!
Safety first, safety first!
Don't just shout slogans!
No matter how careful you are about safety, problems may occur!
What's more, you don't care!
Okay, that’s all I’ll say, think about it for yourselves!
I suggest that Ge Liang be given a warning and review at the morning meeting!
In addition, one month’s salary will be deducted!
Even the subsidy is deducted!
Director Ge, are you convinced or not?"
If you want to make them remember, you can't just say it, you can only punish them!
When the punishment makes him feel distressed when he thinks about it, he will naturally have a long memory.
"Mr. Yu, I accept the punishment and make a self-examination!" Ge Liang stood up and said.
It is better to lose face by making a self-examination than to be dismissed.
The meeting continued, and Zhao Hui finished reporting on quality and safety issues.
"Director Chen, your Materials Department is urging you to urge the embedded pipe fittings again!
The embedded pipe fittings have seriously affected the construction progress!" After Chen Hui finished speaking, it was Ge Liang's turn.
Ge Liang looked directly at Chen Xiang.
"Ge Chu, we have been urging you! As you know, there are no manufacturers in Ajigeria producing all the pipe fittings!
All need to be imported from China!
Recently, due to the ocean monsoon, the cargo ship has been delayed in arriving at the port!
We are also very helpless!" Chen Xiang explained with a wry smile.
"If you urge me again, I'll deliver it to us as soon as it arrives!"
"Ge Chu, don't worry! It will be delivered as soon as it arrives at the port!
It’s only happened in the past few days!”
"And cement..."
Before Ge Liang could finish speaking, Chen Xiang stopped him and said: "The cement will also be delivered together! Two 100,000-ton cargo ships are loaded with our goods!"
The two 100,000-ton cargo ships not only transport cement, but also various pipes and wires, including wash basins, toilets and the like, all imported from China.
Of course, there is also a small bottle of light salt water inside.
Light salt water is a mineral water that Yu Qingyang specially requested and hired experts to research and supplement electrolytes.
When the meeting was about to end, Yu Qingyang knocked on the table and spoke again.
"Finally, I have some good news for you!
Tomorrow, people from the embassy will accompany CCTV reporters to interview us!
Record a New Year greeting video!
Maybe your family can see you on TV on the Spring Festival Eve of New Year’s Eve!”
"real?"
"Reporter interview, what should we say?"
"Can we really go to the Spring Festival Gala?" Everyone started discussing excitedly.
Being on TV is still a relatively rare thing for everyone.
Especially the Spring Festival Gala.
I want to perform Lao Guo's cross talk in the Spring Festival Gala, but some people think it is exaggerated.
Actually it's not an exaggeration at all.
Some people have paid more to attend the Spring Festival Gala than Lao Guo did in the cross talk.
Being able to attend the Spring Festival Gala is still very attractive to ordinary people.
In the past two thousand years, network transmission was not yet available, so the New Year greetings from overseas Chinese and overseas institutions shown on the Spring Festival Gala were all recorded in advance.
In fact, the video of overseas New Year greetings has been recorded, and it was originally none of their business.
It was Yu Qingyang who forced his way in through some connections.
Yu Qingyang dragged her connections to attend the Spring Festival Gala just to become famous.
The Spring Festival Gala is one of the most watched programs in the country.
He came to Africa to improve his qualifications, and he went to the Spring Festival Gala to solidify his qualifications.
Of course, it is also to promote enterprises. In 2000, overseas construction assistance was still mainly based on enterprises with the prefix "国".
Very few local state-owned enterprises participated in the construction assistance.
There are also some small projects and supporting projects.
Just like the oil town, it is a supporting project for the construction of the oil mining area assisted by PetroChina.
For such a project, even in later generations, when Internet consultation is developed, you will not be able to find information. But it will be different after attending the Spring Festival Gala!
Although it only lasts for a few seconds, many people will know that there is Huayu Investment in Dongshan Province.
From now on, attending the Spring Festival Gala is both Yu Qingyang’s qualification and Hua Yu’s investment qualification.
In fact, according to Yu Qingyang's idea, the Huaihai (Ajigeria) Cement Plant was used to promote it.
It's a pity that both Huaihai and Huayu are still too young.
This project also took advantage of PetroChina to jump in and participate in the Spring Festival Gala.
"Say what you say, the reporter will give you your lines when the time comes!
You don’t have to worry!
This is the Spring Festival Gala, not an exclusive interview. At most, we can all come together and say something like wishing the motherland prosperity!" Yu Qingyang said with a smile.
"That's okay! That's the Spring Festival Gala!
I've grown up and I haven't been on TV yet!" Sophie, the head of the information department, said with a smile.
It seems that everyone is very excited. In fact, Yu Qingyang was also very excited when he received the notice.
Even though he had some connections, he still couldn't help but be excited when he received the final notice.
They have never been on TV. Yu Qingyang has only been on news on municipal TV stations for two generations.
In just ten seconds, I said two sentences and expressed my determination.
After letting everyone vent their excitement for a while, Zhao Xinlei announced the adjournment of the meeting.
Back in the office, Yu Qingyang received a call from Zhang Qiang.
Zhang Qiang reported the progress to him.
Zhang Qiang is very efficient.
It has only been a little over a day and a hotel has already been secured.
The hotel is not big, which is equivalent to the size of a domestic Seven Days Express business hotel.
Zhang Qiang directly paid for the existing hotel.
The hotel is already there, now the only thing missing is those special career women.
"Mr. Yu, you can rest assured that all practitioners will undergo the most stringent physical examination first!
Make sure there is no illness before you can be assigned to work!"
"Well! I can rest assured that you can do things!" Yu Qingyang smiled with satisfaction.
