Chapter 309 The butt decides the head (seeking the moon
The road collapse incident is not complicated.
A municipal road undertaken by the company had just been opened to traffic. It should be said that it had not been opened to traffic yet. It had just been paved with oil. After a heavy snowfall, a large area collapsed.
The cause of the accident is also clear.
The design unit did not have enough depth during the geological survey and did not find out the distribution and thickness of the soft soil layer.
During the construction, a large-scale grouting problem occurred. After the company reported it, it did not pay attention to it.
The advice given by the design unit is to replace the grouting area with lime soil and gravel, and to improve 8% of the lime soil 30 centimeters below the roadbed.
Because the soft soil layer below is relatively thick and has a large water content, uneven settlement and road fracture and collapse occurred as soon as the oil surface was eroded by snow and water just after it was paved.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with their construction unit.
The bad thing is that when investigating the cause of the accident, it was found that the thickness of the water-stabilized layer generally failed to reach the designed thickness.
The thickness of the water stabilizing layer is an average of three centimeters worse than the designed thickness.
The average oil level difference is more than one centimeter.
If the collapse had not occurred, no one would pursue the matter and the matter would have passed away.
Unfortunately, a large area of the road collapsed.
Although everyone knows that it is not because the water stabilizing layer you laid is not thick enough.
But who made you fail to perform the construction as required? It is not your responsibility, but it is also your responsibility.
Fortunately, Geng Huai'an was good at dancing, and after some hard work, he finally got through the work of the owner.
This is also because the road has not been officially opened to traffic and has not passed the inspection.
No one wanted to make the matter a big deal, so in the end the accident was suppressed.
The owner paid for the foundation treatment, and the company did not mention compensation for road collapse and rebuilt it themselves.
“Now the thickness of the soft soil layer has been clearly surveyed?
Are you sure that using compacted piles can completely solve the problem of unstable soft soil roadbed?" Yu Qingyang looked at Wang Yiming and asked.
"The soft soil layer is mainly sandy soil, and using compaction piles for treatment is currently the most effective method!" Wang Yiming replied confidently.
Wang Yiming is an expert in the construction industry in Beijing.
Visiting professors in universities, technically speaking, there is no such thing.
The construction process of compacted piles is actually not complicated at all. It is just to drill a hole, then fill the pile hole with a uniformly mixed filler of quicklime, cement, loess or coarse sand, and tamp it down.
When the quicklime blocks are digested by groundwater, the volume of the filler expands, squeezing the soil base, and squeezing water out of the sandy soil, thereby reducing the water content in the soil and improving the bearing capacity of the roadbed.
"Everyone, when I was in Ajigeria, I said something to Mr. Zhao and the others.
Now this sentence is also given to you!
We are a state-owned enterprise, we must have the structure of a state-owned enterprise and the magnanimity of a large company!
We cannot improve efficiency at the expense of quality and safety!
To put it bluntly, if the company earns one billion, how much does it have to do with you?
Your salary is still the same, and your bonus is also the same!
However, once there is a problem with quality and safety, none of you can run away!
Tell me, is it necessary to cut corners and make fun of safety in order to increase profits?
I used to work as a contractor. When I was a contractor, I had a belief that not saving money is a waste!
Because I know that if I save it, the money belongs to me!
But, what about you?
The money saved belongs to the company and the country. If a quality and safety accident occurs, the responsibility is yours!
Do you need it?
Anyway, I don’t feel the need now!”
After what Yu Qingyang said, everyone in the audience looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.
Is it necessary?
It’s really not necessary!
However, I always felt that there was something wrong with what Yu Qingyang said.
It's very uncomfortable to hear.
"Everyone, one more thing, your performance appraisal will not only look at how many benefits you have created for the company!
The profits you create for the company are only a small part of the assessment!
What is more important is how well you have completed the tasks delivered by the company. Is the quality up to standard? Is safety up to standard? Do employees get higher labor returns? In the process of completing tasks, are there good social effects?"
After a pause, Yu Qingyang continued: "Going back to what I just said, as a state-owned enterprise, we must have the structure of a state-owned enterprise. We cannot seek benefits from quality and safety!
Instead, we improve efficiency through scientific management and reduce costs through reasonable deployment of talent and machines!
What I said to you today, I will say it again at the group meeting in a few days!
Not only must it be spoken, but it must also be documented and used as the assessment standard!” Yu Qingyang’s words were loud and impassioned.
There is a saying that the butt determines the head.
When I was a contractor, I always thought about how to make money. If I didn't save money, I would be wasting it. If I didn't take advantage, I would suffer a loss.
Now, when I run a company and serve as the CEO of a state-owned enterprise, my first consideration is that safety and quality accidents should not occur on the construction site.
The landscape has changed.
People's thinking has also changed.
In the past, I only made a small amount of money by cutting corners. Now, I can make a lot of money by managing the company well and developing a high-quality team.
"Mr. Yu, what you said is so good! It's so insightful!
We must seriously study the spirit of Mr. Yu’s instructions!
Integrate the spirit of Mr. Yu's instructions into your work!" Geng Huai'an applauded after taking the case.
Shang Tao's face looks a little ugly, you're so stupid, you've asked me to say nice things, what did I say?
“Mr. Yu’s words are so simple and so accurate!
We are all employees of state-owned enterprises, and we must have the structure and magnanimity of state-owned enterprises.
I suggest holding a company-wide activity to study and discuss the spirit of Mr. Yu’s speech!
Let everyone in the company understand the spirit of Mr. Yu’s speech!" Shang Tao said immediately.
"Mr. Yu, I very much agree with what you said!
We cannot pursue efficiency at the expense of quality and safety, we must seek efficiency from management!" Wang Yiming adjusted his glasses and said slightly excitedly.
As a relatively pure technical cadre, being able to say such things is already the ultimate.
This is because Wang Yiming really agreed with Yu Qingyang's words and said such words.
Just as Yao Lina from the Human Resources Department was about to speak, Yu Qingyang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay! Stop bragging here!
Flattery is very comfortable, but it should be done in moderation!
If you take too many shots, your butt will easily become swollen. Then I won’t be able to sit still in this position!
This time I went to Africa and was deeply touched. We believe that the future path of our company should be internationalization!
We need to go out and compete with foreigners for the market with real swords and guns!
How to do this, then we must start with management!
Start with the system!
Later, I will unite with the company's chief engineer to jointly establish a set of corporate standards!
A set of corporate standards higher than national standards!
From now on, the company's projects, no matter how big or small, must be implemented in accordance with this set of standards!" Yu Qingyang continued.
The reason why he did this was because he figured out how to run an enterprise, especially an engineering construction enterprise.
You can't make much money just from the construction itself.
Since you can't make money, it's better to earn fame and make money from other places.
Having said this, some people may want to argue, but who said engineering projects are not profitable?
When people talk about rich people in society, the first thing that comes to mind is those who have mining or engineering projects at home.
Actually this is a misunderstanding.
Those whose families own mines are really rich.
People who do engineering projects don’t necessarily have money.
However, because the entry threshold for some basic projects is too low, many people have entered this industry.
I made money through some illegal and illegal means.
In fact, everyone who is engaged in engineering knows that if we really count the profit margin, engineering is not even ranked among the top ten in all industries.
They say they make money by doing projects because they don't see how much people do the projects, they only see how they spend the money.
Just like migrant workers now, they earn three to four hundred, or even six to seven hundred yuan a day.
Make more money than most white-collar workers.
But how much did they pay?
The 996 work system that has become popular recently has many people calling it hard work.
Hearing this sentence, people who work on engineering projects will probably laugh.
996 is nothing!
You know, 677, or even 687, 697.
You go to work at nine in the morning and get off work at nine in the evening, working six days a week, which feels very hard.
We normally go to work at six in the morning and get off at six in the evening, seven days a week.
If you have to work overtime, you can go to work at eight o'clock, nine o'clock, ten o'clock, eleven o'clock... and you can still go to work the next day.
Speaking of which, something happened some time ago, that is, a few days ago.
The State Council sent investigation teams to various places to investigate the wage issues of migrant workers.
Before the investigation team arrives, the local labor bureau first conducts a self-examination.
The author's construction site and labor contract were revoked.
At that time, a section chief of the Labor Bureau took the contract and pointed to the working hours and said, "You can't work seven days a week."
The author said helplessly that our workers work seven days a week!
The section chief of the Labor Bureau smiled and said: "I know you work seven days a week, but this is against the labor law..."
The author had no choice but to redo the contract and change it to a seven-day work week.
Sorry, I'm going too far.
The author just wants to say that the reason why engineering is profitable is because they pay more than other industries.
Just like migrant workers, their income is several times that of white-collar workers, but their hands are thicker than bath towels.
The cracks are wider than their daily wages stacked up.
China Water Conservancy and Hydropower Construction Group is the largest water conservancy construction company in China.
It has 17 wholly-owned enterprises and eight holding companies.
Among these enterprises, the least profitable ones are pure construction enterprises.
The same goes for other state-owned enterprises.
Where they really make money is in infrastructure investment, with a return on investment of more than 30%.
Of course, this is the most profitable, excluding real estate development that is currently being carried out by national companies.
That one is more profitable.
Going too far again...
After the meeting, Yu Qingyang treated everyone to a meal at noon.
After receiving a call from Li Yifeng in the afternoon, Yu Qingyang took a car to the courtyard house in Houhai.
It's the courtyard house in Mu'en.
When they arrived, Mu Enzheng and Li Yifeng were enjoying tea.
In the past, there was a saying that southerners like to drink tea and northerners like to drink alcohol.
Southerners like to get together and drink tea when they have nothing to do.
It gradually developed into the saying that rich people drink tea and poor people drink alcohol.
Because some wealthy people in the north who were brought by southerners also started drinking tea.
Either just to show off, or because I really like drinking tea.
For example, Yu Qingyang, at first, just to show off, he learned to make tea and drink tea, but gradually he really fell in love with drinking tea.
Drinking tea can make people feel calm, their brains can think more flexibly, and they can meditate on their own mistakes.
"Yangzi is here!" Li Yifeng saw Yu Qingyang coming in and nodded to him.
Mu En also nodded to Yu Qingyang, poured out the tea in the teapot, and started making tea again.
This is the rule of drinking tea and the etiquette of drinking tea.
When drinking tea, if a friend comes over halfway.
You cannot pour him tea directly, you must make a new pot of tea.
These are the rules and etiquette for drinking tea.
Yu Qingyang sat down between Li Yifeng and Mu En.
"The matter with HSBC was my mistake, which caused you to suffer!" Mu En apologized to Yu Qingyang while making tea.
"Brother Mu, why are you being implicated and not being implicated!
If you don't scold me for being careless, just change the concept secretly, separate Huaihai Engineering Corporation, and set up Huaihai Investment, that'll be fine!" Yu Qingyang said with a smile.
"You guy, you won't suffer at all!
However, it’s okay if you make a fuss like this!
Especially if you later invest in building a cement factory or a brick factory.
The shareholder representative of my family directly threw the investment return evaluation report on the table of the shareholders’ meeting!
hehe!
You know how wonderful the expressions on the faces of the shareholders at the shareholders’ meeting were!” Mu En said with a smile.
Yu Qingyang said nothing and listened quietly.
"At that time, someone also proposed to sue you for illegally dividing the company's property!
Some people also pointed out that you violated the strategic cooperation agreement between us!
Finally, I carefully studied the contract and found that what I originally purchased was the shares of Huayu Investment, and Huaihai Engineering Corporation has no financial relationship with Huayu Investment.
As for violating the strategic cooperation agreement, it is even more untenable.
When it comes to violation, they violate it first!
In the end, the other party lost several important positions!
Only then did we calm down the anger of shareholders." Mu En was in a good mood and talked a lot.
In fact, I also wanted to explain it to Yu Qingyang.
At this time, Yu Qingyang was no longer the little brother who couldn't even spare 10 million.
Although it is not as good as the Mu Group, it has already begun to show its prowess, and no one dares to underestimate it anymore.
At the beginning, in the final analysis, it was an internal strife within HSBC, and Mu's side failed to respond in time due to some special circumstances, which caused Yu Qingyang's interests to be damaged.
Of course, Yu Qingyang’s counterattack was also sharp.
Just exclude HSBC and play without HSBC.
It would be enough if we just invest in artificial lakes.
Who would have known that with a twist of his wrist, Yu Qingyang connected the artificial lake project and the cement plant project.
With an annual output of 10 million tons of cement, African cement costs 1,300 to 400 yuan per ton.
what does that mean?
This means that the annual output value of a single cement plant exceeds 10 billion yuan.
Even if HSBC is a bank, money does not come from strong winds.
This means that HSBC has lost a project with an annual output value of 10 billion.
It also indirectly caused the opponent of the Mu family to be passive, and the Mu family seized the initiative.
And make a profit from it.
It doesn't matter if Mu En doesn't talk about these things.
However, if you don't talk about it, this matter will become a problem.
Over time, it will affect the cooperation between the two parties.
You should know that Huayu Second Construction Group and Huaihai (Africa) Building Materials Co., Ltd. are now Yuanmu Trading Company's largest customers in Ajigeria.
but
The conversion of the brick factory to internal combustion has more than doubled the business of Aji's office in Nigeria.
"Then I have to congratulate Brother Mu! Just treating us today is not enough!
Give me some more of your good tea!" Yu Qingyang said with a smile.
"You, I don't feel bad about tea. It's mainly you who don't understand tea at all. It's like a cow chewing peonies. It's all wasted on you!" Mu En also pointed at Yu Qingyang and laughed.
Yu Qingyang's words were obviously asking for tea, but secretly he was saying that he didn't care. That incident was over, and we would still be good brothers in the future.
"Brother Mu, don't look down on me, I've made a lot of progress recently!
If you don’t believe me, let me test you!
Brother Mu, Brother Li, you can’t drink this freshly brewed tea right away, do you know why?”
"Can't drink it right away? Is there such a thing?" Li Yifeng asked with a smile.
"I haven't heard of it either, why can't I drink it right away?" Mu En also looked at Yu Qingyang in confusion.
"Hehe," Yu Qingyang chuckled, "Because if you drink it right away, it will burn your mouth!"
